AGENDA ITEM #2.c.
Kodiak Island Borough Social Media Participation
Social Media Committee
February,2014
Background:
• Staff have been investigating government participation in social media by performing internet research,
and attending webinars and professional conference sessions on the subject
• The FY2013 Strategic Plan includes a goal to provide a popular social networking platform for the
purpose of disseminating information to the public
• An internal social media policy is being drafted and reviewed
• The Borough's website includes functionality for posting to Facebook and Twitter
Benefits:
• Public outreach using a modern method of communication to reach a broader audience
• Fast and easy means of sharing information
• Commonly used tool for immediate emergency/disaster notifications and communications
Concerns:
• Public comments on Facebook posts cannot be prevented
• The Borough cannot prevent or control"tagging"or references made of the Borough by others on their
personal accounts
• Assembly,Board and Committee member comments on Borough posts on Facebook could be publicly
perceived to be weighing in on a topic or making a decision;and could violate the Open Meetings Act
wherein a meeting occurs when there is a gathering of a majority of the members and"...a matter upon
which the governmental body is empowered to act is considered by the members collectively,and the
governmental body has the authority to establish policies or make decisions for a public entity"
Recommendations:
• Begin with the website's built in functionality to push News&Announcements and Calendar items to
Facebook and/or Twitter; independent posts can then be incorporated as the need or desire for more
involvement by KIB is determined
• Wherever possible,refer the public to the Borough's website or physical offices
• Maintain a publicly accessible Comment Policy describing the intentions, practices, and
acceptable/unacceptable actions related to a KIB Facebook page or similar platform
Questions for the Assembly:
• Provide information and education or is engagement and public interaction the goal?
• Should the Borough be responsive to public"hot topics"via social media?

Subject: Washington Trip
Brad and Seb–
The Assembly will be talking about their April trip to D.C.at this Tuesday's meeting.Those traveling include Mayor
Friend and Assembly members Carol Austerman and Dave Kaplan and me.Wanted to go through the topics of interest
to make sure I have not missed one(or added too many):
1. Kodiak Landfill–EPA's waste water regulations to treat landfill leachate in Kodiak...that eventually drains
directly into the ocean... have increased the cost of our operation to an unsupportable level without extreme
increases in user fees).
2. Fishing Issues(Lake Enhancement(Karluk Lake etc.)and By-Catch(King Salmon,Halibut,and Crab)by trawlers).
3. NOAA's Fisheries Research Funding and the NOAA lease of the KFRC(We are working on annual cost reduction
projects for and with NOAA.The ongoing HVAC project reduces the heating cost of the building and is based on
an a study to make the facility more energy efficient.The larger project is a heat capture process that captures
heat from the large volume of seawater that flows through the building and uses it to heat the building.The
Borough will be spending our money to make this happen).Also see attached article on what the Juneau
Assembly is discussing.It is about what can be done to move the Alaska Fisheries Science Center from Seattle to
Alaska...a familiar subject!) By the way,the inspection of our facility by GSA brought nothing but glowing
comments from them.
4. Subsistence Designation to keep Kodiak designation as'rural"

the USCG presence in Kodiak due to Arctic issues.

12 FISCAL YEAR 2015
13
14 WHEREAS, a capital improvement program has been adopted by the Kodiak Island
15 Borough Assembly that identifies the needs of the community over the next five years; and
16
17 WHEREAS, the Kodiak Island Borough has identified a capital improvement project to
18 submit to the Alaska Congressional Delegation for funding consideration; and
19
20 WHEREAS, the Alaska Congressional Delegation has requested the views of the Kodiak
21 Island Borough on which federal programs should be considered priorities for rural Alaskan
22 communities and their residents.
23
24 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND
25 BOROUGH that:
26
27 Section 1: The Kodiak Island Borough's federal capital improvement project priorities for
28 federal fiscal year 2015 are as follows:
29
30 1. Landfill Wastewater Treatment
31 Total Estimated Cost of the Project: $32,000,000
32 Funding Sources: local and state $28,600,000
• 33 Federal Funding Request: $3,400,000
34
35 The Kodiak Island Borough's landfill is near the limits of its permitted capacity. To
36 address this problem a lateral expansion project constructing new cells adjacent
37 to the existing landfill is underway. Current Alaska Department of Environmental
38 Conservation regulations implementing the federal Clean Water Act require the
39 new cells to be fully lined to capture all leachate or fluids produced by the waste.
40 The captured leachate will be processed in a newly constructed treatment facility
41 on-site. This treatment represents an unfunded federal mandate. Federal
42 assistance to communities to comply with this federal mandate has been
43 available in the past through EPA's State and Tribal Assistance Grant Program
O 44
45 (the "STAG" Program). The Kodiak Island Borough is seeking the Alaska
Delegation's assistance to restore funding for the STAG program so that the KIB
46 can compete for federal matching funds for this project.
47
48 Section 2: The Kodiak Island Borough's views and recommendations on priority federal
49 programs are as follows:
50
( � 51 1. Payment-In-Lieu-of-Taxes: 'There are over 2.8 million acres removed by the
52 Federal Government from taxation within the boundaries of the Kodiak Island
Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska Resolution No. F12014-26
) Page 1 of 3
Page 11 of 14
Washington, D.C. Lobbying Trip Discussion
AGENDA ITEM #2.d.
53 Borough. This is land that would otherwise be available to the private sector to r
54 develop, creating jobs for the residents of Kodiak and the rural Kodiak Island
55 communities. This in turn would create tax revenues for the Kodiak Island
56 Borough. PILT was enacted by Congress to help offset the loss of revenues to
57 municipal entities caused by federal land withdrawals within local government
58 boundaries. The KIB uses these funds to provide basic social services, including "`
59 medical facilities, emergency fire and rescue services, roads, and schools. The
60 Kodiak Island Borough is seeking the Delegation's assistance in reauthorizing the
61 program for three to five years.
62
63 2. Refuge Revenue Sharing: The National Wildlife Refuge Fund is a critical source
64 of replacement revenue to communities like ours who have the presence of a
65 large Federal wildlife refuge within their boundaries. That presence removes
66 substantial amounts of property from the local property tax base. The share we
67 receive from the Fund is based on a formula that partially compensates us for our
68 tax losses due to the existence of the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge. The
69 Refuge is over 1.9 million acres in size and therefore has permanently removed
70 from private ownership, development and taxation over half the property on the
71 island. The Kodiak Island Borough is seeking the Alaska Delegation's assistance
72 in providing level funding for this program.
73
74 3. Karluk Lake Enrichment Project:
75 The Karluk Lake system on the west side of Kodiak Island is the largest producer
76 of sockeye salmon in the Kodiak area and supports a large portion of the area's
77 commercial and subsistence sockeye fisheries. Since 2007, returns of adult
78 sockeye to the Karluk system have been extremely poor, most likely due to over _.,_
79 escapement of spawning adults in earlier years. Continuing low returns will not
80 only deprive local fisheries, low spawning escapements will also reduce the
81 supply of marine derived nutrients to the lake system. Thus, the system may
82 remain in a low state of productivity indefinitely into the future.
83 In order to bring the Karluk Lake ecosystem back to its earlier, higher level of
84 production, the Kodiak Regional Aquaculture Association (KRAA) proposes to
85 apply nutrients over the course of up to five years. This lake enrichment project
86 follows established protocols for rehabilitating sockeye salmon rearing
87 environments. However, because Karluk Lake is within the Kodiak National
88 Wildlife Refuge and a pre-statehood withdrawal, it appears that approval is
89 required from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Refuge compatibility reviews
90 and environmental assessments by the USFWS have been protracted and are -
91 not yet complete.
92 It is vitally important that the USFWS approve this lake enrichment project without
93 delay. It would additionally helpful if the local federal refuge staff were to act as a
94 cooperating agency in the project, provide logistic support, and help monitor the
95 results. The Kodiak Island Borough supports local facilitation and approval of this
96 important project that has a direct impact to the community's economic base.
97
98
99 4. Groundfish Surveys: The North Pacific Fishery Management Council has
100 raised concerns with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration about
101 what appears to be slippage in the winter and summer groundflsh surveys for the
102 Gulf of Alaska. The diminution in these surveys will eventually come back to
103 haunt Kodiak fishermen and processors should the North Pacific Council turn
Kodiak Island Borough,Alaska Resolution No. FY2014-26
Page 2 of 30
Page 12 of 14
Washington, D.C. Lobbying Trip Discussion
AGENDA ITEM #24.
104 precautionary in the establishment of annual groundfish quotas due to insufficient
105 stock assessment data. A reduction in federal groundfish quotas for pollock, cod,
106 and rockfish would result in lost economic opportunities for Kodiak residents and
107 lower raw fish tax receipts over time. The Kodiak Island Borough recommends
108 that the Alaska Delegation add the groundfish surveys to the list of programs to
109 be protected in the budget process.
110
111 5. Federal Subsistence Management And Rural Determination: The Borough is
112 concerned that the review being conducted by the Departments of Interior and
113 Agriculture could result in a change in the definition of rural communities that
114 would eliminate the ability of Borough residents to harvest fish and game on a
115 subsistence basis. The Borough opposes use of a population threshold in
116 making rural determination decisions that would overlook Kodiak's remote
117 location; transportation access limitations; distance and difficulty accessing
118 commercial food stores, particularly in inclement weather; and the long-standing
119 reliance of many of the community's residents on subsistence harvest to feed
120 themselves and their families, among other factors. We request that the Alaska
121 Delegation closely monitor the subsistence management review and at the
122 appropriate time convey these concerns directly to the Departments.
123
124 6. Federal Fisheries Observer Program Funding: The Kodiak Island Borough
125 encourages the Secretary of Commerce to provide sufficient federal funding for
126 NOAA to offset the costs of the 100% observer coverage requirement
127 implemented by the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council in 2013. While
128 the Borough recognizes the value of the real time data gathered by human
129 observers placed on local fleet vessels, the cost of the program to small vessel
130 owners and operators is excessive. In addition to cost, space and safety become
131 complicating factors when human observers are required to travel and work on
132 the smaller vessels in Kodiak's fleet, especially those less than 30 feet in length.
133 The Borough urges the Secretary of Commerce to provide NOAA with federal
134 funding for this program similar to the way in which observer costs are covered in
135 other regions.
136
137 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Kodiak Island Borough administration is hereby
138 instructed to advise Congress and the appropriate agencies of the United States Federal
139 Government of the Capital Improvement Program and priorities adopted by the Kodiak
140 Island Borough Assembly.
