2. Contract No. 98-45A Amending Contract No. 98-48
Lease Agreement Between the KIB and the
University of Alaska for Space in the Kodiak
Research Center.
HEINRICHS,
seconded by ABELL
moved to approve
Contract No. 98-45A.
Manager Jensen said the original lease between the
Borough and the University of Alaska (UofA) was never
completed. He said the UofA School of Fisheries
would pay their proportionate share of costs to
reside in the Kodiak Fisheries Research Center.
He added that the three million dollars of Exxon
Valdez oil spill funds paid by the UofA was for a
portion of the total cost of the building and not for
overhead costs. He said the contract allowed leasing
to other tenants until the UofA could afford to use
the facility.
In response to Mayor Stevens, Manager Jensen said the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration was
unable to utilize the Center because it was a
teaching facility. He added that he had two
potential tenants to occupy the apartments and hoped
to have more during the summer.

Manager Jensen said the resolution authorized the
sale of a portion of Block 2, Selief Estates, to the
adjoining property owner for a driveway. He noted
the property was approved for disposal, the value was
determined by staff, and the buyer would pay the
purchase price in cash, as well as all closing costs.
Assessor Carlson said there was no adverse impact to
the remainder of Block 2, this allowed the driveway
to be located 150 feet from the intersection, and the
sale would generate $2,500 to the Borough.
Assembymember Heinrichs favored the sale as a way to
place surplus property on the tax rolls. He was
disappointed that the person purchasing the property
had to endure a tedious process. He wanted to see a
code change for similar purchases in the future.
In response to Assemblymember Heinrichs, Assessor
Carlson said the cost was approximately $4-5,000,
including the $2,500. He said Borough code was not
receptive to small acquisitions.

SPALINGER, moved to adopt
seconded by BRANSON Resolution No. 2000-13.
Manager Jensen said the resolution supported
bipartisan legislation that would socially and
economically benefit Alaskans by funding enhancement
of coastal areas, historic preservation, outdoor
recreation, and wildlife conservation. He noted the
western states were opposed to the coastal plan.
In response to Assemblymember Branson, Manager Jensen
said the issue was before the House and he felt it
would pass. He said the Alaska Department of Fish
