MEMO TO: Solid Waste Advisory Board
FROM: Borough Mayor and Assembly
RE: Goals /Projects/Tasks for the S B
We, the borough mayor and assembly, extend our gratitude for your input and
recommendations to the Solid Waste policy and program directions for the Kodiak Island
Borough. Now that the solid waste collection contract is ready to be awarded, we would like to
refer to the Board the following items for discussions.
Public Outreach and Education
1. Responsible handling of waste 2. Diversion efforts
a. New system, rules, options, and fees a. Reduce - facts- methods
b. How to avoid bear issues b. Reuse - construction debris, bulking
c. Define and instruct how to dispose of: agent for compost, etc., etc.
i. Furniture /appliances c. Recycle - the last resort - cost in
ii. Yard waste Kodiak
iii. Bulky items
iv. Household and commercial
hazardous waste
v. Electronics /batteries, etc.
vi. Commercial waste
vii. Construction debris
The above mentioned are short -term /immediate tasks for the Board. If you have any other
topics that you would like to embark upon, you need to come to an Assembly work session
and request that the task be added to the work scope. The Assembly will consider whether the
task is within the scope of the Board and if it is an immediate priority. Staff time is very limited
right now and the Assembly is directing staff to not use time for any tasks that do not appear
on the above list.
At this time, the landfill expansion is under contract with an engineering firm that is negotiating
what can be done with the EPA and DEC. These regulatory agencies will dictate what must be
done. When we have the plans to review, we can then determine the available options. Until
then, there is no value in spending time on this matter. Similarly, the site /locations of the
transfer station(s) will be in the hands of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the design
of the actual stations is an Architectural Review Board matter. We can provide input at their
meetings but these items do not need SWAB meeting time right now.
We continue to count on your partnership in making positive and practical changes on matters
affecting solid waste handling in the Kodiak community. We will be looking forward for your
recommendations.

Dear Mr. Mayor and Assembly Members:
The Solid Waste Advisory Board (SWAB) is requesting a joint meeting with the
Assembly at your earliest opportunity. We are looking forward to a meeting where we
can all sit at the table and have a free exchange of ideas and develop a direction for the
future of solid waste management in Kodiak.
It appears that at the moment there is very little interest in expanding curb -side garbage
collection beyond the areas that are currently served. That leaves the more rural
neighborhoods with a system of randomly placed dumpsters, frequent bear encounters
and wind blown debris. We feel that we need to actively pursue the design and
placement of collection centers to serve these neighborhoods.
Collection centers /transfer stations come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes and designs.
SWAB is prepared to undertake the necessary research and present some concepts to the
Assembly for your consideration, but we need to make sure we are in step with your
goals before we spend the necessary time and effort.
Sincerely,
71: / "Kim-

Subject: Seeking Support for Legislation
Attachments: Benny Benson Kodiak State Airport proposal.pdf
Dear Mayor Jerome Selby and Mayor Pat Branson:
I have a pet project that I've been working on, and now that the legislature is in session, I'm trying to put the different parts of it
in motion. This year is the centenary of Benny Benson's birth, and since he spent much of his life in Kodiak and worked in the
aviation industry, I thought this occasion was the perfect time to give our state airport a name, in his honor: "Benny Benson
Kodiak State Airport."
I've sent a letter to Sen. Gary Stevens and Rep. Alan Austerman requesting they introduce and usher through legislation that
would make the change. I've attached a copy of it to this e -mail for your reference.
I'm writing you, as our mayors, to solicit a letter or proclamation of support from the borough assembly and city council,
respectively. Sen.
Stevens said community support for such a name change is critical when legislators consider naming state facilities. I will also be
seeking letters of support from the Pioneers of Alaska Kodiak Igloo, the Kodiak Historical Society and others, as well.
I hope I can count on your support for this effort so we can rename the airport before Benny Benson's birthday in October. Let
me know if you have any questions or if I can assist in any way. I would be happy to write a draft proclamation for your
consideration.
Sincerely,
Jay Barrett

The Honorable
Rep. Alan Austetman and Sen. Gary Stevens
January 23, 2013
Dear Rep. Austerman and Sen. Stevens:
I am writing to you today to enlist your support for a pet project of mine, the (re)naming of Kodiak State
Airport, to honor one of the great Alaskans of all time. I speak of course of John Ben "Benny" Benson, Jr., the
designer of the Alaska Flag, whose 100th birthday we will celebrate on October 12, 2013.
My goal is to see Kodiak State Airport (re)named the Benny Benson Kodiak State Airport in time for his
centenary.
Mr. Benson spent a significant portion of his life in Kodiak, worked in the aviation industry as a
mechanic, and is well- remembered and admired here and statewide by many. As you know, he has been
recognized previously in Kodiak with the naming of a street and a building at Kodiak College. I believe there is
still reason to honor Mr. Benson for his important contribution to the State of Alaska, and think (re)naming the
airport would be fitting.
As the informal and admittedly self - appointed chair of the ad hoc "Benny Benson Kodiak State Airport
Committee," I have floated this idea to various groups and individuals, and it has received a universally positive
reception. Executives of such organizations as the Kodiak Historical Society and Pioneers of Alaska Kodiak
Igloo have warmly supported the idea and encouraged its pursuit, as have members of the Kodiak City Council
and Kodiak Island Borough Assembly. I plan to seek resolutions of support from these organizations and others.
Naming public works to honor important citizens has a long history in America, Alaska and Kodiak. For
instance, already many airports in our state are named for prominent Alaskans and others. A sampling includes:
Anchorage: Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, and Merrill Field; Barrow: Wiley Post -Will
Rogers Memorial Airport; Cordova: Merle K. (Mudhole) Smith Airport; Galena: Edward G. Pitka Sr. Airport;
Kotzebue: Ralph Wien Memorial Airport; Kiana: Bob Baker Memorial Airport; Marshall: Don Hunter Sr.
Airport; Noorvik: Robert (Bob) Curtis Memorial Airport; and Tanana: Ralph M. Calhoun Memorial Airport.
The Ahkiok State Airport here on Kodiak Island is being proposed for renaming the "Jim Andie and Robin
Starrett Memorial Runway," (through SB 31, introduced by Sen. Stevens).
Adding Benny Benson to that list also would go a long way in recognizing the contributions Alaskan
Natives have made to our state.
Also, I don't believe changing the name of Kodiak's state airport would disrupt how it is currently
referred to, or on letterhead, or in giving directions, and will allow for an easy transition to the new name.
And so gentlemen, I ask that you join my quest in ( re)naming the state airport here in Kodiak, the
"Benny Benson Kodiak State Airport."
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or if I can help further this cause in any
way.
Sincerely,
Jay Barrett

MEMORANDUM

of the Kodiak Island Borough j
THROUGH: Bud Cassidy, Borough Manager . 'I `
FROM: Karleton Short, Finance Director 4
SUBJECT: FY2014 Non - Profits
DATE: February 12, 2013
The Borough is looking at a new procedure for non - profits to apply for Borough funding and
new criteria to review these applications.
There are a couple of points I would like to make before the new procedures are adopted.
In FY2013 the Borough adopted a General Fund Budget of $6,610,281. This includes a transfer
out of $891,559.
Here is a summary of expenditures.
FY2013 Budget
Summary of Expenditures and Transfers

5,958,681 I 651,600 1 6,610,281
Assembly Work Session Packet February 14, 2013 Page 10 of 18
The Borough had a taxable value of $1,085,968,280 in FY2013. The Assessor, Bill Roberts,
estimates that the Borough assessed value will increase 2% in FY2014 to make the total assessed
value $1,107,687,646. Based on this we can assume that one mill will be at least $1,100,000.
If we use last year's contributions and the estimated FY2014 assessed values the mill rate for
contributions will be .59 mills.
At the current time, if we take transfers out of the equation, 13% of the FY2013 General Fund
budget goes to non - profits.
From an accounting point of view is it very preferable to keep the tourism expenditures in the
Tourism Development Fund. This fund is a special revenue fund that was created since bed tax
revenues can only be used on tourism related items. By keeping it as a separate fund it is much
easier to track the use of these funds.
At this time it would also be better to keep the Education, Culture & Recreation Fund separate
from the Health and Social Services Fund. This is because we have to separate these two
functions when we do our CAFR. (We have to report on all of our expenditures by function.)
We are working on incorporating a feature into our software where we will assign the function to
each line item in our system but we aren't there yet.
If you have any more questions please feel free to contact me.

Kodiak Economic ®eves tpment
And Housing Survey
January, 2013
KODIAK
_ — CHAMBER
of COMMERCE
Dedicated to Kodiak's Economic Future
Summary of the Kodiak Chamber of Commerce Economic Development and Housing Survey
In January 2013, the Kodiak Chamber of Commerce launched an online opinion survey to the community of Kodiak. Over 300
individual email invitations were sent out and 39 community members participated in the survey. A survey link was also posted on
Facebook — Friends of Kodiak and Kodiak LEAD, we received 148 individual responses through the Facebook link. With 187 total
participants in the survey we had an estimated 90% confidence level with an error rate of ±6 %. The survey results indicated a good
cross- section of the Kodiak population. Average longevity in Kodiak was 20.33 years and respondents with 5 or less years in Kodiak
amounted to almost 19 %, 26+ years was 36% of the participants. 65% of survey responses came from Kodiak home owners, which is
close to the U.S. Census Bureau's statistic of 54% owner-occupied housing units in Kodiak Island Borough. Full -time employees and
self - employed respondents accounted for 67% and 21% respectively. Industries represented were from Private Business — 35 %,
Government — 20%, Non-profit — 11% and a good variety of other industries including fishing, education, health care and native
organizations. The majority of respondents to the survey owned or managed a business in Kodiak. From the written answers, one
could see that the survey brought out individuals from every corner of our island.
Reading through the results, written responses and other comments, you see that the people of Kodiak really enjoy this island. They
love the scenery and natural beauty of our environment. Outdoor activities and small town feel rank high for most respondents.
However, respondents were quick to point out that it is expensive to live here, citing cost of fuel, housing, food and transportation
as their highest challenges. Housing availability and high cost of living ranked as their top two things they wanted to change about
Kodiak. Respondents to the survey said they wanted to preserve Kodiak's small town feel, natural beauty, sense of community, and
outdoor recreation. When asked where people purchase most of their goods or services, the survey indicates that the majority
purchase most items or services on the island except clothes, automobiles and electronics. Respondents indicated that they would
like to keep more big box and chain stores out of Kodiak, but were open to more business options and competition. Kodiak reflects
having a foot in the past while looking forward to the future by citing social media as their top pick in best ways to address
community concerns, followed closely by newspaper, radio and town hall meetings.
When addressing housing concerns around Kodiak, the majority of people taking the survey indicated that they agree or somewhat
agree that the Borough should open more land, we need more incentives for developers, more senior housing, building
revitalization, more Coast Guard housing, more low cost housing, more starter homes and multi - family housing units. The majority
believe that the housing shortage is not temporary and that we should develop more raw land. Written responses indicate that high
costs associated with building, along with the availability of land, are the leading challenges for housing development in Kodiak.
When asked if we should create a planned housing development to address the greatest housing need in our community, 66%
agreed or somewhat agreed with the statement. Survey indicated that 45% of respondents feel that any available areas should be
allowed for housing development, compared to no development or did not answer at 6 %. When asked what we should build,
respondents listed single family starter homes — 37 %, followed by Multi- family /Condos — 22% and Zero - lot/Town -house units — 18%
as their top three.
Compiling this survey has provided a sense that the people of Kodiak would like some relief to the housing shortage and the high
cost of living on the island. Kodiak would love to have more starter homes, apartments and townhouses for lower income families,
but not at the expense of clear - cutting large parcels of raw land. The survey responses indicate that, responsible development of
housing targeted towards the entry level work force would satisfy some of the current demand in the market. Further indications
support spending more money locally, supporting small local businesses, but some of those options are not available on the island.
I did not get the impression that the community was faulting any particular group or body of government, but wanted steady and
responsible growth and development in our community to meet our needs. I got the sense that revitalizing residential areas and
commercial properties along with cleaning up our community is a priority. Reinvesting some of what we have into the future
generation, keeping them here on this great island we know as Kodiak.

5 Cost of living in general - food, utilities, taxes -
6 Between the Borough and City too much ballon waste in government •
7 Community; is largely misinformed, especially re: local economy
8 Too many.. retired Coast Gaurd - -.
9 No one seems to care about the junk that is piled all over the island, junk cars, dirty downtown, no community pride.
10 Fishing groups working together instead of- against one another
11 Government wage and benefit costs are too high. More infrastructure. Cost of transportation. Cost of Fuel and Food. Not enough
year round -jobs. - • - ..

Q3. What are the best ways to address community concerns? - • -
Response Response Text , '
1 Most community concerns generate from a lack of understanding. The, city and borough governments, as well a the chamber, -
need to engage public "relations•(e.g. press releases) to;get the word out and explain issues, regs" and so on. This is extremely •,
vital; cntical,to thwarting misunderstandings in a community.. .. -
2 use of all meida to get information, out to public -
3 council/assembly MEETINGS. Not allowed to comment at work sessions. ':- .,. ,.
4 Conversations with cultural or civic organizations
5 ` Newspaper and radio' are both good as well but city council /borough assembly work sessions are absolutely NOT a good way ',
because there is so much hostility among these governing bodies when they actually '. have to listen to citizens. They treat people
_ badly and don't listen - - '
