The Honorable Carolyn Floyd,Mayor of Kodiak
and Members of the Kodiak City Council
Kodiak City Hall
710 Mill Bay Road
Kodiak,Alaska 99615
Dear Mayor Floyd and Members of the City Council:
It has come to our attention that the wooden sculptures that were located in the downtown
area plaza had deteriorated to the point where they had to be removed.
Our board has recently been contacted by two separate individuals who are interested in
creating a sculpture to replace them. The first is Mark Witteveen,a well known local
artist who creates superb works out of metal and should be a candidate for replacing the
artwork. The second is a chainsaw wood carver named Jamie Rothenbuhler from the
mainland of Alaska. He contacted the Parks&Recreation department to express an
interest in creating a wooden sculpture to fill the void.
Mark Witteveen presented a conceptual sketch of an Alaskan undersea sculpture to our
board during our meeting on June 2. At the time we made a resolution to endorse Mr.
Witteveen and make a recommendation that he be contracted to do the work. Since that
time we have been made aware of Mr. Rothenbuhler's desire to also be contracted to
create a replacement sculpture.
We respectfully request that the City of Kodiak consider hiring an Alaskan artist to create
a sculpture for the St. Paul Plaza that would fill a huge void in the downtown area and
represent the essence of our community
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
f 4 .

PROGRAM BUDGET SUMMARY
ANIMAL CONTROL
Program Description
The Kodiak Island Borough contracts with the City of Kodiak to provide for Animal Control Services. The goal of the
program is to have this officer patrol all neighborhoods to address loose dogs and cats,investigate nuisance
animals and to operate a shelter to house them. A contract is entered into with the city which provides the Patrol
Officer,the vehicle,and the shelter(which is contracted to the Humane Society of Kodiak'). This arrangement
works for 99.9%of the cases, but does not work for large animals such as horses. The Borough has contracted in
the past with the Kodiak State Fair and Rodeo Association to hold large animals until any issue is resolved. This
position and the Borough's Enforcement Officer will work closely on some cases.
Goals
• Perform periodic patrols outside the City of Kodiak to impound loose dogs, cats and horses in the
borough.
• Respond to citizen complaints outside the City of Kodiak regarding animal nuisances, dangerous animals
and animal cruelty.
• Encourage compliance with borough pet licensing program and leash requirements where and when
applicable.
• Ensure that impounded animals are current on rabies vaccinations before being released back to the
public.
• Provide a humane shelter for impounded animals until they can be re-united with their owners.
• Provide a humane shelter for surrendered or abandoned animals until they can be put up for adoption.
Objectives for 2013-2014
• Reinstate the KIB Animal Control Program by contracting with the City of Kodiak for those services.
• Maintain statistics for animal nuisance citations,impoundments and sheltering that are generated from
the borough jurisdiction.
Significant Budget Changes
This program was reestablished FY2014. Past statistics indicate that nearly 300 pets were impounded in the
borough during the last year that this program was active.
'The Humane Society of Kodiak is a 501C3 that is locally organized and is not affiliated with the Humane Society of
the United States.

Dear Chairman Olson:
Re: Agenda Item C-4, GOA Non-Pollock Trawl Chinook Salmon Bycatch
The communities of Kodiak Island are following closely the various,a"genda items dealing with prohibited
species catch (PSC) management in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA)igroundfish trawl fishery. We wish to
comment here on the specific action to establish a PSC limit�on[he taking f Chinook salmon in GOA
non-pollock trawl fisheries. \\\
As you will recall, the City of Kodiak and the Kodiak Island Borough presente&i two joint resolutions to
the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (NPFMC) in October, 2012. The overarching purpose
and goals expressed in those resolutions center upon promoting a vigorous econo nyJ nrthe Kodiak region,
with healthy and competitive markets; providing effective controls on bycatch; maintaining or increasing
target fishery landings; maintaining or increasing local employment; maintaining entry opportunities in
the harvesting and processing sectors; minimizing the adverse impacts of consolidation; maximizing
active participation by owners of vessels and fishing privileges; and Maintaining the economic strength
and vitality of Kodiak's working waterfront.
' \ �
We encourage you to carefully balance requirements of National;Standards 1 and 9, to achieve optimum
yield and reduce bycatch,as you decid upon an apinropr ate PSC I mitkor Chinook salmon bycatch.
While as local governments w,a have not)come to a'decision upon any specific option or bycatch limit, we
are in full agreement that the NPFMC needs.to recognize,the importance of both conservation and•development to Alaska;s coastal communities. Our local economy depends upon landings and processing
of seafood, a large portion of which inn,Kodiak con> rises non-pollock trawl-caught groundfish.
We do offer up a suggestion thatvyou seriously consider a requirement for the full retention of Chinook
salmon in thenon-pollock traw1.6sheries similar to requirements in the pollock trawl fishery, which will
aid in full accounting and potential biologicahsampling. We also suggest that, if the Council chooses to
set a low PSC limit, then the Councilimay wish to impose that limit in a phased-in approach, similar to
your recent action t'reduce the halibut PSC allowance for GOA trawl fisheries.
Of particular importance will be further Council action on a comprehensive approach to bycatch
management (Agenda C-5). Tle recent imposition of reduced limits for halibut PSC, and new limits for
Chinook salmon PSC, increase the demand for effective ways that the commercial fleets can achieve such
PSC reductions.
Thanks as always for your attention. We hope that your actions will help us maintain and enhance the
economy, employment, and social wellbeing of the Kodiak region.
Sincerely,

> If I am to receive some explicit instructions to edit the draft before the JWS tonight, it will be helpful if
they are clear, unambiguous, and of a nature that it is likely other members of the fisheries workgroup would
agree. Otherwise, we can deal with editing this evening or afterward.
