A RESOLUTION OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH ASSEMBLY
SUPPORTING NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN THE BOROUGH AND
LEISNOI NATIVE CORPORATION, TO DEVELOP THE TERMS OF A
CONSERVATION EASEMENT FOR HABITAT PRESERVATION
AND PUBLIC ACCESS ON LAND AT LONG ISLAND
WHEREAS, the Great Land Trust presented a proposal to acquire a conservation
easement for preservation of habitat and public access on land located at Long Island on
September 10, 2015; and
WHEREAS, the easement negotiation between the Kodiak Island Borough and land
owner, Leisnoi Native Corporation, would be facilitated by the Great Land Trust and then
submitted for approval and funding by the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council; and
WHEREAS, the proposal requires borough sponsorship of the conservation easement
interest in Long Island, therefore it is necessary for the Assembly to support the process
moving forward so that the Assembly can make an informed decision to accept
responsibility for said easement once negotiations have been concluded.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND
BOROUGH THAT:
Section 1: The Assembly recognizes. that an informed decision on the acceptance of
management responsibility for a Long Island conservation easement cannot
be made until negotiations are concluded.
Section 2: Funding of the easement acquisition will be subject to approval of the Exxon
Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council and the local sponsor Kodiak Island Borough
will be asked to assume management control over the easement interest.
Section 3: The Assembly, therefore, expresses support for the initiation of negotiations
between Kodiak Island Borough and Leisnoi Native Corporation to acquire a
conservation easement for preservation of habitat and public access on lands
at Long Island.
