Subject: Mill Bay and Rezanof Intersection in Kodiak
Commissioner Kemp
My name is Don Roberts and I live in Kodiak.
The intersection of Mill Bay Road and East Rezanof Drive(57.814422,-152.354194)is particularly treacherous(quite
frankly I am surprise nobody has gotten killed or seriously injured)—hi speeds,and corner at a precarious angle many
people living in the area who have to cross Rezanof to get into town if they don't have a vehicle make for a very
dangerous situation.
I understand there had been a study of that area a few years ago (perhaps it is still on-going)—how do I get a copy of
any report?
More importantly how do we(a lot of Kodiakans share the same feelings)get the state to do something before
somebody gets killed or seriously injured?

Dear Mr. Roberts:
This will reply to your October 7 email message to DOT&PF Commissioner Pat Kemp regarding
the intersection of Mill Bay Road and East Rezanof Drive,Kodiak,Alaska.
In a separate but related matter,the Department is in the midst of a regional boundary change •
that will result in Kodiak Island being placed under the jurisdiction of Southcoast Region,
headquartered in Juneau. The regional traffic engineers from Central Region,heretofore
responsible for Kodiak Island,and Southcoast Region have discussed your email. Sufficient
coordination has occurred to facilitate this reply.
The East Rezanof/Mill Bay Road intersection is a known problem arca and the Department has
been working towards developing the appropriate intersection improvement project.
The main funding mechanism available to resolve roadway conditions identified as the cause of
vehicle crashes is the Highway Safety Improvement Program(HSIP),a federal program held to
federal requirements and regulations that are not set by the state of Alaska. HSIP uses an orderly
approach to analyze the road system for areawide projects designed to prevent crashes,and
assigns priority to intersections and roadway segments where serious crashes have occurred.
HSIP's focus is to invest in low-cost improvements that prevent injuries while conserving scarce
program funds.
Recent five-year crash data for the Rezanof-Mill Bay Road intersection show that there were six
property-damage-only crashes and one major injury crash(i.e.,requiring transport to the
hospital). The intersection falls well below the initial priority of other sites for HSIP funding
consideration.
Based partly on prior correspondence with local agencies and other community requests,Central
Region developed preliminary information for a potential project at the intersection as part of
their FY-2014 HSIP program. They did this even though the intersection failed to meet initial
screening parameters. Similar to several other intersections recently treated for worse angle
"Keep Alaska Moving through service and infrastructure."

crash problems,the plan was to lower the Rezanof pathway in the corners and install an
overhead flashing red/yellow beacon to improve intersection visibility. The project was
evaluated per HSIP program guidelines(based on cost versus benefits)and found to rank well
below others that were being considered. It was not forwarded.
This does not mean that we aren't concerned with how the intersection is operating,nor should it
be inferred that we have chosen to ignore the situation described in your email. It simply means
that other intersections in the region and statewide with at least one fatality and/or two major
injury crashes(of which there are many)in a 5-year period receive priority consideration and are
more likely to be funded.
Nevertheless,it is clear that conditions at the intersection are, and have been,less than optimum.
Indeed,Central Region's potential project write-up acknowledged feedback from various city
offices that the Rezanof-Mill Bay Road intersection generated the most complaints and
statements of concern from the community within city limits. No doubt this played a major role
in their consideration of an HSIP project. I can promise you that Southcoast Region will
exercise the same level of due diligence with regard to HSIP. We will continue to monitor crash
data and take action as appropriate.
I will be meeting with City of Kodiak and Kodiak Island Borough officials over the next few
weeks. One of the items already on the agenda is improving the East Rezanof!Mill Bay road
intersection.
Thank your from your comments and interest in local highway safety improvements. If you have
further questions regarding HSIP,please contact David Epstein,Southcoast Region Traffic and
Safety Engineer, at 907-465-4483 or david.epstein@alaska.gov.

Subject: Re:healths ummit
Hi Pat,
I'm am so pleased that you would like to start a health summit in Kodiak. I'll get some detailed information to
you within the next few days. I will also put you on our e-newsletter list. I'll be emailing one shortly,so keep
an eye out.
In brief,the Sitka Health Summit is in its 8th year. It is a coalition of three organizations: Southeast Alaska
. Regional Health Consortium,Sitka Community Hospital,and the State Department of Public Health
Nursing. Each organization primarily supports the Summit through in kind donations of staff time (each
organization appoints two of its employees to serve on the Coalition on company time)and infrastructure
support such as printing and promotion. Both hospitals also supply limited annual financial support. The
Summit also receives some broad community support. This year we expanded our donor campaign because we
are growing our capacity.
The Summit's primary program is the Citizen Health Initiatives Program. The core of this program is Planning
Day-an annual event that brings together about 60(this year was phenomenal-we had 82 people attend!)
citizens to collaborate on and choose two community health goals. Project groups are formed to work on these
goals over the next 365 days.
Originally, the initiatives were unfunded mandates. However,we eventually started providing each initiative
with some seed money. Each year we have increased the start up funds amount,so that this year we were able
to give each project group 52,000. Also new this year,we hired me(the Summit's first employee)to expand the
organization and to provide each project group with year-round organizational support.
Planning Day is a big exercise in facilitated community dialogue and collaboration. It's actually quite involved,
and its success hinges on the efficacy of the facilitation process. In a nutshell, during the first half of the day the
group dialogues and comes up with dozens of community health goals. Each person then votes on their top
three goals. The two winning goals are adopted as the Summit's official community health initiatives for the
year.
Over the course of 7 years, about 20 initiatives have come out of the Summit. Many have been quite successful,
and have contributed greatly to Sitka's health and wellness landscape. Many have also gone on to leverage their
initial start up funds into tens of thousands of dollars of outside funding. Our most successful initiatives have
been the nationally-recognized Fish-to-Schools Program,the Hames Wellness Center,the Choose Respect
Mural, the Sitka Farmer's Market,Downtown Revitalization,transforming Sitka into a nationally recognized
"Bike Friendly" and "Walk Friendly" community. I can give you a detailed report next week.
Because of the Summit's success,we're actually talking about standardizing our practice and working on a how-
to guide for other communities interested in adopting a similar process. Perhaps we could work with Kodiak...
No other community in the nation,that we're aware of,does citizen-centered community health improvement
the way we do. Our process is citizen-driven. Our stakeholders represent as many nooks and crannies of the

Tuesday night the KIB and city have a joint work session and I have on the agenda a community health summit for
discussion.This community meeting would address the follow up discussion about drugs and alcohol and overall health
of our community health following the Providence region meeting in Kodiak.I don't know how far I will get with this,but
what I have in mind is using the Sitka model for a community health summit. Would providence be interested in be the
facilitator. And where are the funds from this healthy tomorrow group and what exactly are they doing?I think you had
spoken about expanding their role to more involvement(no one knows about the or about what they are doing in town)
and where they are with the funds they were award. Can you give me a response to these questions prior to tomorrow
night's meeting?
If you go on the KIB website under the work session packet you can see what Sitka has done.
Thanks
I think we need Providence to back us on this with the state funds being so tight especially with the KIB and their landfill
project.This would also be a good leg up with the lease discussions.

Re: Transfer of Monashka Bay Watershed
Following transfer of ownership of a portion of U.S. Survey 4947 on Near Island from the City
to the Borough for construction of a new Department of Fish and Game facility in 2009, the
Assembly directed the Borough Manager to explore procedures required for transfer of Borough-
owned land within the Monashka Bay Watershed,consisting of approximately 4,300 acres, to the
City. This was initiated in 2011, and then set aside as other major public projects were
undertaken, some of which, including the library, the long term care facility, and the composting
operation at the land fill, have been completed through cooperative efforts by the City and the
Borough.
The City has now expressed the intent to revisit the issue and set in motion conveyance of the
Monaskha Bay watershed with an application to the Planning and Zoning Commission for a land
disposal review under KIBC 18.20.100.B, which allows for disposal of Borough land for less
than fair market value to a municipality with a finding by the Assembly that the disposal will
allow the use of the land for a public purpose beneficial to the Borough.
The background and mechanics are explained in the attached latter to the City Manager dated
January 25, 2011. As noted there, the Borough granted the City extra-territorial jurisdiction in
1984 to adopt and enforce regulations to protect the municipal watershed outside City limits.
Transfer of the watershed would not only afford the City a greater measure of site control, but
would be consistent with criteria for land ownership of watersheds using unfiltered surface water
source, which determination was previously granted to the City by EPA and ADEC. Also
attached is the letter from the Borough Manager to the City Mayor and Council dated September
4,2009.

Re: Monashka Bay Watershed Transfer
Ms. Kniaziowski:
This updates the status of the ongoing discussion initiated last year between the City and
Borough to explore the procedures required for transfer of Borough-owned land within the
Monashka Bay watershed to the City of Kodiak. Background inlhnnation is also provided.
To safeguard water quality, the Monashka Reservoir Watershed, which is fed by the Monashka
Creek and Virginia Creek drainages, was rezoned in 1977 from Conservation to Watershed
(Ordinance 77-26-0). This original rezone was based on aliquot part description, a method
generally used to define very large tracts of land based on rectangular proportions of township,
range and sections. It therefore does not lend itself well to describing areas that necessarily must
coincide with naturally occurring terrain features, like a watershed. The subsequent grant by the
Borough to the City of extra-territorial jurisdiction in 1984 (Ordinance 84-36-0) to adopt and
enforce regulations to protect the municipal watershed outside City limits corresponded to this
original aliquot part description.
In 1992 the watershed boundary was changed based on a metes and bounds survey undertaken
by the City to correspond more faithfully to the natural features of the terrain. This was
accomplished by a rezone (Ordinance 92-02) intended to more accurately reflect the two
drainages. The extra-territorial jurisdiction boundary was not correspondingly changed by
ordinance at that time,so that it does not now match exactly the Watershed zoning.
What is required now for transfer would be for the City to complete the survey of the Monashka
Reservoir Watershed initiated for the 1992 rezone as it specifically applies to the Borough owned
land within the watershed drainage. By this replat procedure, an independent parcel will be
created for the deed transfer. This must satisfy the minimum requirements of Title 16

(Subdivision) of Borough code, and may require extensive field surveying that was not required
for the rezone. This process would also allow the City to redefine the boundary and nature of the
extra-territorial jurisdiction applying to the watershed. I would refer you directly to the
Community Development Department, which supports the Planning and Zoning Commission as
platting authority for the Borough, to learn what exactly is required and to explore any
alternative options that might be available.
Please let me know if you have questions or I can provide further information.
Sincerely,

RE: Resolution 09-06
Dear Mayor Floyd and Council Members:
I would like to take this opportunity to extend thanks,on behalf of the Kodiak Island Borough Mayor and
Assembly, for City Council action by Resolution 09-06 authorizing the transfer of ownership of a portion
of U.S. Survey 4947 from the City to the Borough for construction of a new Alaska Department of Fish
and Game(ADF&G)building on Near Island.
As noted in the resolution, this will not only improve the ability for ADF&G staff to manage, research
and protect marine and wildlife resources in the Kodiak region, but also enhance access to shared
resources between ADF&G and the existing University of Alaska Fishery Industrial Technology Center
and Kodiak Fisheries Research Center facilities on Near Island.
I have instructed my staff to initiate platting procedures to define the portion of USS 4947 necessary to
meet the needs of the ptoyect understanding that,once the survey is cgmptete,the transfer of ownership
can be accomplished.
1 would also like to note that the Assembly has given me direction, and 1 have instructed staff to explore
the piocedurea required for hansfer of Borough-owned land within the Watershed to the City of Kodiak.
Thank you again and we look forward to working with the City on future projects.

RE: Information about Filtration Avoidance Criteria
The Surface Water Treatment Rule(SWTR)became effective on December 31, 1990. The City
of Kodiak requested to remain unfiltered as allowed in the SWTR do to the extremely high cost
to the community if filtration was required. By December 30, 1991 the EPA and ADEC had to
determine which unfiltered systems in Alaska would be allowed to remain unfiltered. By
December 31, 1991 Kodiak had been able to meet 5 of the 10 criteria listed in order to remain
unfiltered. Kodiak was given a time line of supplying information addressing each of the
deficiencies by September 14, 1992,the close of the comment period on the EPA decision to
grant Filtration Avoidance to the City.
On December 17, 1992 the City was given the final decision document determining we could
remain unfiltered using our surface water source. In the Proposed Decision Document there
were eleven criteria identified that the City of Kodiak must meet in order to avoid filtration. The
majority of the criteria have to do with water quality and treatment issues however#7 has to do
with water shed control.
item#7 of the eleven criteria list references 40 CFR§ 141.71.(b)(2)this requires us to maintain
a Watershed Control Program which minimizes the potential for contamination by Giardia
lamblia and viruses in the source water. At a minimum the watershed control program must:
(i) Characterize the watershed hydrology and land ownership.
(ii) Identify watershed characteristics and activities which may have an adverse effect on
source water quality.
(iii) Monitor the occurrence of activities which may have an adverse effect on source
water quality.
Item (iii) had the following explanation attached. The public water system must demonstrate
through ownership and/or written agreements with landowners within the watershed that it can
control ALL HUMAN activities which may have an adverse impact on the microbiological
quality of the source water.
Item# 8 of the eleven criteria references 40 CFR § 141.71 (b) (3)the public water system must
be subject to an annual on-site inspection to assess the watershed control program and
disinfection treatment processes. The on-site inspection must indicate to EPA's satisfaction that

the watershed control program and disinfection treatment are adequately designed and
maintained.
State Drinking Water Regulation section 18AAC80.620. Addresses Criteria for Avoiding
Filtration
(2)Maintain a watershed control program
(3) Demonstrate, through local ordinances, ownership, or written agreements with
landowners within the watershed, that the system can control HUMAN ACTIVITIES that
may have an adverse impact on the microbiological quality of the source water.
(5)Be subject to an annual onsite inspection described in(d)of this section.
(d) The report must be done by an individual approved by the ADEC. The inspection must
review the watershed control program, disinfection treatment process, the source intake,
equipment maintenance program, operating procedures and data records. This report must be
prepared each year. Based on this report the ADEC will determine whether the public drinking
water system may continue to avoid filtration.
In January of 2002 Long Term I Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule required that all
unfiltered surface water systems update their watershed control programs for prevention of
Cryptosporidium contamination by January 14, 2005. Our watershed control program update
was completed as required.
When the final ruling was complete and the City was granted Filtration Avoidance status the
EPA still questioned our ability to maintain control of the watersheds. Although we have in
place the necessary zoning and codes as well as agreements with the 1(18 for the City to actually
control the Monashka water shed ownership will strengthen our effort to maintain control of
Human activity in the watersheds.
Additional note; Operating under filtration avoidance is allowed only as long as we meet all the
criteria as defined in the State regulations and the requirements of new regulations, such as a
secondary disinfectant for unfiltered surface water systems (UV Treatment Plant). Basically we
operate at our own risk by avoiding filtration. As new regulations are passed it is possible that
the option of filtration avoidance could be removed from the regulations(Very Likely). Because
of the tremendous cost associated with filtration the community benefits by taking care of our
watersheds and controlling human activities in them in order to continue be granted filtration
avoidance status. Ownership of the watershed is a major step in displaying that commitment.

Re: Transfer of Monashka Bay Watershed
Following transfer of ownership of a portion of U.S. Survey 4947 on Near Island from the City
to the Borough for construction of a new Department of Fish and Game facility in 2009, the
Assembly directed the Borough Manager to explore procedures required for transfer of Borough-
owned land within the Monashka Bay Watershed,consisting of approximately 4,300 acres,to the
City. This was initiated in 2011, and then set aside as other major public projects were
undertaken,some of which, including the library, the long term care facility, and the composting
operation at the land fill, have been completed through cooperative efforts by the City and the
Borough.
The City has now expressed the intent to revisit the issue and set in motion conveyance of the
Monaskha Bay watershed with an application to the Planning and Zoning Commission for a land
disposal review under KIBC 18.20.100.B, which allows for disposal of Borough land for less
than fair market value to a municipality with a finding by the Assembly that the disposal will
allow the use of the land for a public purpose beneficial to the Borough.
The background and mechanics are explained in the attached latter to the City Manager dated
January 25, 2011. As noted there, the Borough granted the City extra-territorial jurisdiction in
1984 to adopt and enforce regulations to protect the municipal watershed outside City limits.
Transfer of the watershed would not only afford the City a greater measure of site control, but
would be consistent with criteria for land ownership of watersheds using unfiltered surface water
source, which determination was previously granted to the City by EPA and ADEC. Also
attached is the letter from the Borough Manager to the City Mayor and Council dated September
4,2009.
