Kodiak Island Borough Assembly Agenda March 3, 2005 Page 2 Meeting of: March 3, 2005 Kodiak Island Borough AGENDA STATEMENT ITEM NO. 13.A.1 Contract No. 2005 -07 Generation of Rock Cover for the Kodiak Island Borough Landfill The Engineering and Facilites Department attempts to produce enough shot rock for the year by going out once a year with a contract to produce cover material. This material is used daily to cover the bales of garbage. This activity occurs in the location of the future lateral expansion area that will eventually fill up with garbage. This year the KIB has underestimated the amount of rock needed as cover. We are also in need of more material because we will be closing the baler to replace the concrete tipping floor. (A contract approved by the assembly at the last regular meeting). Garbage will not be baled during this period, but will be loose filled (dumped out back) and covered with cover material. We entered into a contract with Brechan Enterprises to produce cover in June 2004 to make rock. That contract was for $18,000. With this contract, we will have exceeded the administrative contracting authority of $25,000. We received two quotes for these services. Anderson Construction's quote came in at $22,100 and Brechan Enterprises quote came in at $30,000. Staff recommends awarding the bid to Anderson Construction for $22,100. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Move to award Contract No. 2005 -07 to Anderson Construction in an amount not to exceed $22,400.

This Resolution encourages the Governor of the State of Alaska and the Alaska State legislature to adopt legislation that authorizes the Alaska Board of Fisheries or the Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission, or the two of them in combination to: • Allocate Gulf of Alaska groundfish fishery resources, and only Gulf of Alaska groundfish resources, to skippers, crew members, vessel owners or some combination of them, on the basis of historical landings. • Allocate fishery resources to fishermen's cooperatives. FISCAL NOTES: NA Expenditure Required: ACCOUNT NO.: Amount APPROVAL FOR AGENDA: Recommended motion: Move to adopt Resolution No. FY 2005 -15. Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska Introduced by: Assembly Requested by: Assembly Introduced: 03/03/2005 Adopted: KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH RESOLUTION NO. FY2005 -15 A RESOLUTION OF THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH SUPPORTING LEGISLATION REQUESTED BY THE ALASKA BOARD OF FISHERIES CONCERNING ALLOCATIONS OF GULF OF ALASKA GROUNDFISH FISHERY RESOURCES AND ALLOCATIONS OF FISHERY RESOURCES TO FISHERMEN'S COOPERATIVES WHEREAS, the fishing industry has requested that the North Pacific Fishery Management Council develop a rationalization plan for the groundfish fisheries of the Gulf of Alaska; and WHEREAS, the Kodiak Island Borough and the City of Kodiak have adopted resolutions in support of a Gulf of Alaska groundfish rationalization program, on the conditions that such program provides for the long term stability and sustainability of Kodiak Island coastal communities, and includes elements that mitigate potential negative impacts of rationalization on Kodiak Island coastal communities; and WHEREAS, the effectiveness of any Gulf of Alaska groundfish rationalization plan will depend on its extension into the waters of the State of Alaska and to the waters off Alaska under Federal fishery management; and WHEREAS, any rationalization plan implemented in Alaska's waters must recognize the sovereignty of the State over those waters and allocations of fishing privileges for Alaska waters must be made, if made at all, with the least possible impingement on the clauses of the Alaska Constitution that provide "fish...are reserved to the people for their common use" and "laws and regulations governing the use or disposal of natural resources must apply equally to all persons similarly situated "; and WHEREAS, the Alaska Board of Fisheries charged a committee to develop Gulf groundfish rationalization alternatives for Alaska's waters, taking into account the Constitution's "least impingement" standard, and the Board's committee formed a steering committee of stakeholder representatives that held extensive discussions regarding such alternatives; and WHEREAS, after extensive stakeholder discussion and debate, the Board's committee recommended a Gulf groundfish rationalization alternative under which fisherman could receive a temporary privilege to catch a specific portion of the harvestable surplus of a stock of fish which would be allocated on the basis of historic landings, and that some or all of each such fishery resource allocation would automatically expire on a time certain basis and revert to the State for reallocation; and WHEREAS, the Board of fisheries has found it desirable for the Board to have express statutory authority to allocate to cooperatives, as the Board believes that cooperatives may be an effective means through which harvests of groundfish stocks that straddle jurisdictional boundaries between the State of Alaska and the Federal government could be cooperatives; and WHEREAS, the Board of Fisheries does not currently have express statutory authority to allocate fishery resources in proportion to historic landings, or to allocate fishery resources to cooperatives; and WHEREAS, the Board of Fisheries has therefore charged its Gulf Groundfish Rationalization Committee with advocating the adoption of legislation that would provide the Board of Fisheries and /or the Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission, or a combination of the two, with express authority to allocate Gulf of Alaska groundfish fishery resources, and only Gulf groundfish fishery Resolution No. FY2005 -14 Page 1 of 2 resources, to skippers, crew members, vessel owners or other entities, as deemed appropriate, on the basis of historic landings; and WHEREAS, the Board of Fisheries has charged its committee with advocating the adoption of legislation that would provide the Board with express authority to allocate fishery resources to cooperatives; and WHEREAS, the Board of Fisheries has traditionally promoted the interests of Alaska's fishermen and fishing communities, and has specifically taken steps to promote access to the Gulf's Pacific cod resources for fisherman of the Gulf's coastal communities; and WHEREAS, any allocation measure ultimately pursued by the Board of Fisheries would be developed through the Board's public process, and would in any case be subject to the Alaska Constitution's "least possible impingement" standard: and WHEREAS, providing the Board of Fisheries with such authority would facilitate adoption of a Gulf of Alaska groundfish rationalization favorable to the interests of the Kodiak Island fishing community; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH that the Governor of the State of Alaska is encouraged to support and the Alaska State Legislature is encouraged to adopt legislation that authorizes the Alaska Board of Fisheries or the Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission, or the two of them in combination, to: Section 1: Allocate Gulf of Alaska groundfish fishery resources, and only Gulf of Alaska groundfish resources, to skippers, crew members, vessel owners or some combination of them, on the basis of historical landings. Section 2: Allocate fishery resources to fisherman's cooperatives. ADOPTED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH THIS DAY OF 2005 ATTEST: Jerome M. Selby, Borough Mayor Judith A. Nielsen, cMC, Borough Clerk KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska Resolution No. FY2005 -14 Page 2 of 2 Meeting of: March 3, 2005 Kodiak Island Borough AGENDA STATEMENT ITEM NO. 13.D.1 Project Manager Hire at Grade 20.5 Step G KIBC grants the Manager the authority to hire employees up to a step C. Anything above this step requires Assembly approval. KIB is negotiating with an individual to fill the Project Manager /Inspector position. The individual selected for the job is a licensed engineer. This party is interested in the job, and the Engineering and Facilites Department could use an individual with this level of expertise. Therefore the Engineering and Facilites Director is recommending that we start this individual at a 20.5 Step G. The pay scale for this position is $58,570. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Move to approve the hiring of a Project Manager/ Inspector at Grade 20.5 Step G. Meeting of: March 3, 2005 Kodiak Island Borough AGENDA STATEMENT ITEM NO. 13.D.2 Acceptance of Surplus Federal Equipment and Disposal to KMXT in Exchange for Removal of the two Radio Towers, the Transmitter Building, and Guy -Wires From Borough Hill KMXT brought to the attention of the USCG, the Borough, and AT &T that there is an abandoned radio tower located near the satellite dishes close to the barn on Borough Hill. KMXT was able to determine that the,federal government owns the tower. Since that time, the Government Services Administration (GSA) through the State of Alaska has declared the property surplus. KIB, as a public entity, has something akin to a preference right to acquire the tower. This surplus tower is of value to KMXT who will use it to replace the two radio towers they have located adjacent to the KIB Administrative Building. The tower is also of value to the KIB as it will be the catalyst for KMXT to remove the two existing towers, as well as the transmitter building and the guy -wires from around the KIB building. Staff recommends that the Assembly accept ownership of this surplus radio tower and dispose of it to KMXT in exchange for the removal of the existing radio towers, guy - wires and transmitter building presently located on KIB Administrative land. Also, any cost to remove the tower from federal land, or to remove the improvements from Borough Hill be borne by KMXT. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Move to approve the acquisition of surplus fede - equipment and disposal of the radio tower to KMXT in exchange for removal of the two radio towers, the transmitter building, and the guy -wires from Borough hill. �oa\aQat ' t Lions 9 s/a p. KMXT 100.1 FM 718 MITI Bay Road Kodiak, Alaska 99615 (907) 486-3181 Kodiak Island Borough Mayor Jerome Selby Kodiak Island Borough Manager Pat Carlson Gentlemen; November 22 2004 CC: Kodiak Island Borough Assembly Members Bud Cassidy Kodiak Island Borough Clerk The Board of Directors of Kodiak Public Broadcasting has decided to relocate our transmitter from in front of the Borough building to the top of Pillar Mountain. We are requesting your assistance in helping us make this project a reality. The tower presently located at the borough building is not suitable for relocation to Pillar Mt. We need a different type of tower. The USCG has a surplus fifty -foot tower located at the Alascom Facility on Signal Hill. It is ideal for our needs. They have agreed to transfer it to us but it must be done through the Borough who is in a position to receive federal surplus equipment. Steps have already been taken by the USCG to make the tower available through the State of Alaska. We're now requesting the Borough act as our transfer agent for our acquisition of this tower.. All expenses for moving the tower will be paid by Kodiak Public Broadcasting Corporation. We will secure insurance for the move protecting the Borough from any liability associated with the entire project. The transmitter at the borough building has been there since 1976. Several items there need to be updated or replaced. We feel that a lower - powered transmitter atop Pillar Mt. would serve our needs better. A few of our neighbors on Signal Hill have complained of interference from our transmitter. This move would also eliminate that interference. This move would eliminate the present KMXT transmitter building and tower located just outside the main entrance of the borough building near the assembly chambers. The three chain -link fenced guy -wire anchors would also be eliminated. This would result in a much cleaner looking area and would be in the Borough's interest. KMXT Is supported In part by a grant from the Alaska Public Broadcasting Commission. Our Long -term plans include digital broadcasting. It's an extremely exciting new frontier in broadcasting and we believe it will provide an exceptional new service to all of the residents of Kodiak Island. This new digital service is just now beginning to be deployed throughout the State, however, KMXT ability to participate has been stalled until we resolve the transmitter move issue. The transmitter move must be substantially underway before we become eligible for the grant funds.. Any assistance in this mutually beneficial matter would be appreciated Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

University of Alaska Lands The University of Alaska owns and manages approximately 183,000 acres of land. This includes approximately 170,000 acres of land designated as investment property and 13,000 acres of land designated as educational property. Educational property includes the three main campuses, all community campuses and numerous research sites and facilities. All land not specifically designated as educational property is designated as investment property. In support of the University of Alaska's education and research mission, through its Land Management office, the University maintains an active land management program that focuses on the responsible development of all the University's land and resources. Land Management Office The primary role of the University of Alaska Land Management office is to generate revenue to support the University's educational mission through the responsible development of its trust lands and to prudently manage land dedicated for educational purposes consistent with campus goals and objectives. Development activities include residential, recreational and commercial subdivisions; timber sales; land and building acquisitions and sales; residential and commercial leases; mineral leases; oil and gas leases; material sales; easements; and permits. Land Management Development Guidelines The Board of Regents (Board) sets policy for management of University investment properties through a hierarchy of plans, beginning with a biennial Strategic Plan, annual Development Plans, and specific project plans. The University seeks public comment through the notice of its Development Plans published in local newspapers 60 days prior to the scheduled consideration by the Board and provides public notice of all major real property transactions -not otherwise approved by the Board. The University is also subject to all local, state, and federal government regulations including the Alaska Forest Practices Act, ADEC water & wastewater regulations, wetlands regulations, Coastal Management Plans, and local zoning and platting ordinances. In addition to requirements of Board policy and local, state or federal ordinances or regulations, Land Management commonly holds additional public workshops to address such development issues as local impacts, density, lot sizes, road maintenance, covenants, trail systems and architectural standards. Fianancial Returns of University Management Approximately 13,650 acres (or 8 %) of University investment property has been sold since 1987. University land sales have generated over $43 million since that time. UA Land Management March 1, 2005 Page 2 There have been 9 sales to communities for such public projects as fire stations, landfills, and fairgrounds and 6 sales for conservation purposes, but the overwhelming number of sales (87 %) have been purchased for personal, commercial, or unspecified uses. About $27,966,544 has been generated from timber sales, primarily from the timber rights acquired under the second University Settlement Agreement with the State of Alaska. Other revenue has been generated from such activities as oil and gas leasing, material sales, and other resource development. Land Grant Endowment Trust Fund The net income from the sale, lease, development and other income generated from trust lands is deposited into the University's Land Grant Endowment Trust Fund (LGTF). This fund, the University's permanent endowment, is managed by the University of Alaska Foundation Trustees at the request of the Board. The fund is managed under standard endowment- accounting practices with only the earnings, less inflation - proofing, being available for expenditure on an annual basis. Earnings from the Land Grant Endowment Trust Fund Earnings from the LGTF are used to fund, among other things, the Alaska Scholars Program. The Alaska Scholars Program awards an $11,000 scholarship to the top 10 percent of the graduates from every Alaska high school each year. This program is the cornerstone of the University's effort to retain in the state and to educate Alaska's brightest graduating high school seniors. The program has been very successful and currently has over 900 participants. The LGTF earnings are also used to help fund an array of natural - resources related education and research projects, including fisheries and ocean sciences, biology, agriculture and minerals. University Lands History A Land Grant University Without the Land In 1915 and 1929, federal legislation granted approximately 360,000 acres of surveyed land to the University of Alaska to be used to generate revenue to support the university's educational mission. However, at the time of statehood in 1959, only a little over 100,000 acres had been surveyed by the federal government and conveyed to the University. The Statehood Act extinguished the University's right to receive the balance of its federal land grants, and repeated efforts to rectify this inequity have failed. (Note: only Hawaii and Delaware received smaller university land grants than Alaska.) University Grant Lands Lost - Settlement I At the time of statehood, the state assumed management responsibility for lands granted for the benefit of the University and allowed several municipalities to select University grant lands for their municipal entitlements without compensating the University as required by law. The University's highest -value grant land was lost to various municipalities during this process. In 1979, the University filed suit against the state to recover its grant lands and secure compensation for properties that could UA Land Management March 1, 2005 Page 3 not be recovered. This suit was settled in 1982 by the state agreeing to convey certain original grant lands and replacement lands directly to the University (Settlement I). University Grant Lands Lost Within the Municipality of Anchorage - Settlement II Settlement I did not address 5 valuable tracts of University land conveyed to the Municipality of Anchorage as part of its municipal entitlement. In 1985, the University filed a lawsuit against the state and the Municipality of Anchorage for recovery or compensation for those lands. This litigation was settled in 1987 (Settlement II). In accordance with Settlement II, following a public review and comment period, the state conveyed certain replacement lands to the University, including limited one -time timber harvesting rights in the White River, Cape Yakataga, and Cape Suckling areas of the Gulf Coast. The express purpose of the timber cutting rights was to replace the lost value of the federal trust lands, intended for the benefit of the University, that had been conveyed by the state to the Municipality of Anchorage. Gulf Coast harvesting activities are expected to generate approximately $40 million over the next 15 to 20 years. Opposition to Settlement/Lawsuit Not all Alaskans agreed with the terms of Settlement II. In 1988, the Yakutat Fisherman's Association, Cordova District Fisheries United, Alaska Center for the Environment, Inc., Southeast Alaska Conservation Council, Inc. and the City and Borough of Yakutat (Timber Litigants) filed a lawsuit against the state and the University to block the conveyance of limited one -time timber harvesting rights to the University under Settlement H. The Timber Litigants' opposition to Settlement II was primarily focused on the University's limited one -time timber harvest rights at Cape Suckling. During the 1992 legislative session, the University supported the Timber Litigants in proposing legislation that would allow the state to purchase of the University's cutting rights at Cape Suckling for $9 million using Exxon Valdez Oil Spill restoration funds. When this legislation failed to pass, the state negotiating team (led by ADF &G) worked diligently to create timber - harvesting criteria and define areas consistent with best forest practices and protection of the habitat. Working with the Timber Litigants, this habitat - protection effort created the scientific research and limited harvesting plan that eventually formed the basis for a negotiated settlement with the Timber Litigants in December 1994. 1994 Timber Settlement Agreement Following exhaustive negotiations in which the interests of the environmental and fisheries community, local government, state and University were all represented, a settlement (Timber Settlement) was reached. The Timber Settlement, by design, protects subsistence, habitat, wildlife and fisheries resources at a higher level than generally applicable under state statutes and to a higher overall standard than other timber operations on state land. UA Land Management March 1, 2005 Page 4 Senate Bill 7 The State provided for a University Land Grant through passage of Senate Bill 7 in 2000. In passing the bill, the Legislature attempted to override Governor Knowles' veto with a 2/3 majority. Governor Knowles argued that the bill was an appropriation that required a 3/4 majority to override his veto. The Supreme Court ruled that the bill was not an appropriation, and remanded the case back to the Superior Court. On remand, the Superior Court dismissed the case when potential intervenors failed to file a separate action challenging the law as an improper dedication of funds. Senate Bill 7 is now state law. Senate Bill 7 provided for a lengthy and expensive process for selecting land to fulfill the University's grant. Because it was expected to take place over 10 years, the uncertainty about land ownership dampened development interest. The State and University worked together to develop a specific list of lands in 2000. The land list was shelved pending resolution of the litigation. Over the intervening 4 years, the list has been eroded by fulfillment of municipal entitlements; replacement of Mental Health Trust lands; the State's own land disposal program; value - added, small scale timber sales; and other programs. 2005 Land Bill The Governor has introduced a bill that replaces the selection and conveyance process by directing DNR to convey a specific 260,000 acres to the University, and that clarifies that the land is non - taxable and held by the Board of Regents in trust for the University. Educational lands, including approximately 52,000 acres for a Tanana Valley Demonstration Forest, comprise 35% of the land list. Another 35% of the lands are within the Nenana Oil and Gas Basin. Half of the remaining 30% Investment lands is located in Southeast Alaska, and the remainder located in the Southcentral and Northern Regions. The proposed legislation will also allow the University to return lands to the State if either archeological resources or hazardous materials are identified after conveyance or if both the State and the University agree that certain lands should be returned to public management. DNR is preparing a fiscal note to accompany the bill, and expects to be able to convey the lands to the University in three years.

I am pleased to provide this list of lands for this transfer. The transfer will fulfill the intent of Senate Bill 7 passed by the 2000 Alaska Legislature as Chapter 136 SLA 2000. It will do so in a manner that is uicker less expensive, and provides more valuable lands to the university than the roc process envisioned by y ' Background — Senate Bill 7. In 2000, the Alaska Legislature passed SB 7, which rovide d a 10 -year process during which the University of Alaska would select up to 260,000 acres of state - owned land to be conveyed to the university for the primary purpose of generating revenue for the university. Specifically, the bill provided that: • "most land grant colleges in the western United States have obtained a larger land grant from the federal government than the University of Alaska has received; • an academically strong and financially secure state university system is a cornerstone to the long -term development of a stable population and to a healthy, diverse economy in the state; • it is in the best interests of the state and the University of Alaska that the university take ownership of a significant substantial portfolio of income producing land in order to provide income for the support of public higher education in the state;" SB 7 had a 10 -year fiscal note and forecast the need for approximately $1.7 million each year to complete the selection, decision, and transfer process. Unfortunately, implementing the bill proved difficult, expensive, time - consuming, and subject to litigation. To date, no lands have been conveyed to the University of Alaska to implement the law. In addition, uncertainty over what state land the university may or may not select creates a disincentive for investment and development, and the 10 -year conveyance process had the otential to discourage the development and use of state land. p Land List and Accompanying Legislation. Over the course of the past several years, University of Alaska and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) have worked to reach the agreement on lands proposed for transfer to the university to fulfill the intent of SB 7. These lands include some that were not selectable under SB 7. However, the proposal includes a portfolio of Iands that should produce income for the university both in the near -term and long -term, and will provide more income than was available to the university under the provisions of SB 7. The new "Develop, Conserve, and Enhance Natural Resources for Present and Future Alaskans" legislation requested by the Governor eliminates the lengthy selection process required under SB 7 and directs DNR to convey these specific lands to fulfill the 260,000 -acre intent of SB 7. This new legislation provides a single decision for determining what lands will be transferred to the University of Alaska, rather than a protracted 10 -year decision process. This is a quicker and significantly less expensive process. It also eliminates the potential disincentive to development because once the legislation passes, the eventual land manager is immediately clear. Summary of the Lands to be Transferred to the University of Alaska. The lands proposed to be conveyed to the university are summarized below: II Type of Property Investment Properties, Southeast Alaska Investment Property, Other than Southeast Nenana Basin Oil and Gas Educational Properties Total: No. of Parcels 44 14 1 12 71 Approximate Acreage 40,102 39,222 90,000 90,676 260 ,000 In developing a list of investment properties to be transferred, DNR and the University of Alaska focused primarily on lands that had been designated settlement, general use, or general public recreation in DNR Area Plans. The list does not include any lands designated for timber harvest in Southeast Alaska because conveying these to the university would decrease DNR's allowable cut there. Nor does it include lands tentatively scheduled for sale by DNR within the next five years, as conveying these would leave DNR unable to meet near -term land sale goals. The list does not include lands on which municipal selection applications have been filed. The list does not include any producing oil and gas or mineral properties, nor legislatively designated State Game Refuges, Critical Habitat Areas, Parks, or Public Use Areas. The 44 parcels in southeast are expected to have the greatest near -term income potential. Because of the limited state land in southeast, these tracts are comparatively small and are distributed throughout southeast Alaska. The remaining investment properties, distributed throughout the state, include some lands suited for commercial or industrial development, but the majority is suited for residential or recreational development. The Nenana Basin Oil and Gas property is a single 90,000 -acre tract within the Nenana Basin. It is located west of the Nenana River generally across the river from the City of Nenana. DNR and the University believe the tract has significant potential for gas development, and the area is part of the Oil and Gas License owned by Andex Corporation. The tract would be transferred to the University of Alaska subject to the Andex license. The 12 educational properties are intended to strengthen the University of Alaska's education and research programs. Most are located in the Fairbanks area. The largest is a 51,820 -acre tract southwest of Fairbanks within the Tanana Valley State Forest. This area, which includes the Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest, would become the University Research Forest. It will be one of the largest university- related forests in the country and will be an important asset to the university for forestry and related research. For at least the next 50 years, DNR would continue to manage the public uses in this area, such as recreation, and would continue to use the area for commercial timber sales, consistent with the needs of the University Research Forest. Land Transfer Process. Under the proposed legislation, DNR will convey the lands to the University of Alaska within three years of the bill's passage. During those three years, DNR will complete the required title search, and will reserve appropriate public access easements, navigable waters, etc. Actual authority for management will change on the date the deeds are recorded. Conveying these lands will accomplish the goals of SB 7 in a manner that is faster and less expensive than the 10 -year process previously envisioned. I am pleased to recommend this portfolio of lands for transfer to the University of Alaska. I believe that these lands will provide the university with significant value and future revenue to help fund public education. The transfer helps fulfill the promise of a land grant University. Sincerely, +Tom in Commissioner Alaska Department of Natural Resources Department of Natural Resources University Land Transfer Factsheet February 4, 2005 Introduction An academically strong and financially secure state university system is a cornerstone of the longer -term development of a stable population and of a healthy, diverse economy in Alaska. It is in the best interests of the State and the University of Alaska that the University own a significant and substantial portfolio of income - producing land to provide financial support for public higher education in Alaska. It is also in the interest of the State and the University to provide the University with land to encourage and foster natural resources education and research important for Alaska. SB 7 (Chapter 136 SLA 2000 In 2000, the Alaska Legislature passed Senate Bill 7, which provided a process for the University of Alaska to select and eventually own 260,000 acres of State land. Unfortunately, implementing the bill proved difficult, expensive, time - consuming, and subject to litigation. To date, no lands have been conveyed to the University to implement the law. In addition, uncertainty over what State land the University may or may not select created a disincentive for investment and development, and the 10 -year conveyance process had the potential to discourage development and use of State land. The fiscal note that accompanied SB 7 envisioned a 10 -year process that would cost $17 million. By identifying specific lands to transfer to the University, this proposal implements the intent of SB 7. It transfers the same amount of land, 260,000 acres, but does so in a way that is less expensive and quicker. All but one of the 71 parcels in the Governor's proposal will be transferred within three years at a cost that is less than 5% of the SB 7 estimate. This proposal also eliminates the potential disincentive to development, because once the legislation passes, the eventual land manager is immediately clear. Finally, restrictions in SB 7 made it difficult for the University to gain land with significant income producing potential. The Governor's 2 60,000 -acre proposal provides much better income - producing land than was available under SB 7. Lands to be Transferred to the Universit of Alaska The lands proposed to be transferred to the University are summarized below: Investment Pro.erties, Southeast Alaska Investment Pro.ert , Other than Southeast -I - February 4, 2005 In developing a list of investment properties to be transferred, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the University of Alaska focused primarily on lands that had been designated settlement, general use, or general public recreation in DNR land -use plans.

Nor does it include lands tentatively scheduled for sale by DNR within the next five years, as conveying these lands would leave DNR unable to meet its near -term land sale goals.

During those three years, DNR will complete the required title search, and will reserve appropriate public access easements, navigable waters, etc. Actual authority for management will change on the date the deeds are recorded. The exception to the three -year transfer is the University Research Forest. As noted above, for the next 50 years, DNR will continue to manage the forest for commercial timber and public use in a manner consistent with the University's research needs. Finally, all transfers are subject to valid existing rights. Alaska Department of Natural Resources 2 - February 4, 2005 Summary — A Strong Financial Base This transfer will provide the University with potential for near -term and long -term income. The investment properties — those in Southeast and elsewhere in Alaska — provide some near -term and medium -term revenue potential. However, it will take some time and effort to turn even the land with near -term income potential into revenue for the University. Despite the delay in creating income for the University, this land will strengthen the University's financial base. The Nenana Oil and Gas Tract provides important long -term income potential. If marketable quantities of gas are found and developed on that tract, there is the potential for a significant, multi -year income stream to the University. Summary — A Strong Educational Base The educational properties strengthen the University's educational mission. The University Research Forest and other properties, such as the Caribou -Poker Creek Watershed, provide dedicated land for University education and research. Ownership by the University strengthens its natural resources education and research missions.
