SUMMARY STATEMENT:
FUNDS AVAILABLE:
Amount Budgeted:
In accordance with KIBC 2.40.030(E), the Planning and Zoning Commission reviews and
updates a list of project priorities for the KIB Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The
Commission is required to make a recommendation to the Assembly by resolution and deliver
that recommendation no later than October 1 st of each year.
The Commission generally reviews the prior year's resolution, removes projects which have
been funded, and adds new community projects that have come to its attention. The
commission receives input from the KIB Parks and Recreation Committee and requests input
from the general public.
The Assembly has historically referred to the Planning and Zoning Commission's CIP list in
preparing a short list of projects for which the Borough requests legislative funding from the
State of Alaska to assist in accomplishing important community priorities. The Assembly may
add projects, amend language and figures as well as remove projects. The adopted list will be
forwarded to our legislative delegation, the governor, and any state agencies that would have
oversight and/or involvement in the project.
The Governor requested that the CIP lists be submitted before November 1 of each year.
PURPOSE, ACTION, OR RECOMMENDED MOTION:
The motion is on the floor which is to adopt Resolution No. FY2017-13.
Move to amend Resolution No. FY2017-13 by substitution with version 4.

KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH
RESOLUTION NO. FY2017-13
A RESOLUTION OF THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND
BOROUGH ADOPTING A STATE LEGISLATIVE CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS PRIORITY LIST FOR THE 2017
LEGISLATIVE SESSION
WHEREAS, the Kodiak Island Borough represents approximately 14,000 residents of the
Kodiak Island Archipelago living in six incorporated cities and one community governed by
a tribal council government; and
WHEREAS, a Borough—wide capital improvement program has been adopted by the
Kodiak Island Borough Planning & Zoning Commission which identifies major needs of the
island community for the next five years; and
WHEREAS, the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly has identified major projects to submit
to the Alaska Governor and State Legislative Delegation for funding consideration;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK
ISLAND BOROUGH THAT:
Section 1: The Kodiak Island Borough's State Legislative capital improvement project
priorities for the 2017 legislative session are as follows:
1. MN Tustumena Replacement Vessel Construction
Estimated Project Cost $238,000,000
The MN Tustumena was built in 1964 and serves the communities of South Central,
Kodiak Island and Southwest Alaska. It is one of two ocean class vessels in the Alaska
Marine Highway System (AMHS) fleet. Because of its size and design, it is the only AMHS
vessel that is capable of serving all 13 ports of call between Homer and Unalaska.
Retiring and replacing the MN Tustumena with a vessel that is equally, if not more,
versatile and seaworthy will provide reliable marine transportation service well into the
future for the communities, residents and businesses in South Central, Kodiak Island and
Southwest Alaska (from the Alaska Marine Highway System website).
The MN Tustumena is an essential service to the communities of Kodiak Island. As such,
the Kodiak Island Borough is requesting that the legislature concur with the funding plan
for the construction of the replacement vessel as described in the 2016-2019 STIP
Amendment 1.

AGENDA ITEM O.A.
52 2. Safe Pedestrian Access to Kodiak Schools—Automated Crosswalks
53 Estimated Project Cost $100,000
54 State Funding Request $100,000
55
56 Poor visibility of crosswalks in school zones is a safety hazard! Local weather and traffic
57 degrade the paint on crosswalks; and pedestrians waiting to cross are often difficult to see
58 due to the long season of dark days, inclement weather, and busy traffic at popular
59 intersections.
60
61 Rezanof Drive is a state owned roadway and is the main road through the City of Kodiak.
62 Pedestrians needing to cross this road to access schools that include Kodiak Middle
63 School, Main Elementary School, East Elementary School and Kodiak College must wait
64 for a break in traffic or for motorists to notice their intent to cross and stop to allow the
65 crossing. The Kodiak Island Borough is requesting funding for AKDOT to purchase and
66 install lighted automated crosswalks at intersections of Rezanof Drive and Powell Street,
67 and Rezanof Drive and Benny Benson Street to increase pedestrian safety near schools
68 located along Rezanof Drive.
69
70
71 3. Safe Pedestrian Access to Kodiak Schools — Pathway Feasibility Study
72 Estimated Project Cost $50,000
73 State Funding Request $50,000
74
75 Northstar Elementary School is located upon a hill in the midst of residential
76 neighborhoods. The roads connecting the neighborhoods around the school are narrow,
77 steep, and winding dirt roads without sidewalks or separated pathways to keep
78 pedestrians safe from vehicular traffic. The Kodiak Safe Routes to Schools Plan (2013)
79 describes a need for separated pathways or trails to connect the residential
80 neighborhoods to the school.
81
82 A feasibility study to determine whether and where separated pathways can be
83 constructed is the first step taking action to improve safe pedestrian access to this school
84 from surrounding neighborhoods.
85
86
87 4. Drainage Improvements to the Chiniak Highway at Sargent Creek
88 Estimated Project Cost $54,000
89 State Funding Request $54,000
90
91 Heavy rains along with high tides consistently cause Sargent Creek to flood and diverge
92 from its channel. This causes flooding at the intersection of the Chiniak Highway and
93 Sargent Creek Road. Recent heavy rain events have necessitated intermittent closure of
94 the intersection due to water on the roadway deep enough to disable vehicle engines.
95 This intersection is the only roadway in and out of Bells Flats subdivision. The flooding
96 occurring here impedes safe travel and often leaves motorists stranded and unable to
97 reach homes or critical services located in town.
98
99 This request is to provide the DOT in Kodiak funding to construct spot improvements for
100 bank stabilization, armoring, and rechanneling as needed to keep the Sargent Creek in its
101 channel and stop the flooding of the roadway.

104 5. East Elementary Traffic Flow Improvements
105 Estimated Project Cost $2,000,000
106 State Funding Request $2,000,000
107
108 There is a safety issue in the East Elementary School parking lot. The school was
109 constructed in 1966 with a substantial addition in 1988. The facility now totals 39,842
110 square feet with twenty-five teaching stations. Since the expansion, increased traffic flows
III have created dangerous vehicle/student hazards when students are entering and leaving
112 school. Reconfiguration of the parking area will reduce risks by providing for a safer
113 separation of pedestrians, small vehicle traffic and bus loading/unloading. The project will
114 require an increase in the total area of the parking lot to allow adequate parking to support
115 increased building usage and occupant load.
116
117
118 6. Anton Larsen Bay Road Extension to Ice Free Water
119 Estimated Project Cost $8,450,000
120 Funding Acquired 450,000
121 State Funding Request $8,000,000
122
123 An extension of the Anton Larsen Bay Road to ice free waters will provide year around
124 access to communities located in the Kupreanof Strait as well as those who use the
125 island's west side for commercial and recreational purposes. Many limes during the year
126 travel by vessel to and from Kodiak is treacherous. Extending the road to ice free waters
127 makes traveling safer, and provides safer access to critical services located in the City of
128 Kodiak including hospitals and businesses. This route was identified in the Kodiak
129 Transportation Plan as an important upland facility.
130
131 The Ouzinkie Native Corporation subsidiary, Spruce Island Development Corporation
132 (SIDCO) received a $450,000 legislative grant for planning and design to construct two
133 miles of gravel road extending the Anton Larsen Road and to construct a parking area and
134 boat launch ramp at the road's termination, a beach near Crag Point.
135
136 Funding is requested to the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities for
137 construction of this road as it is an extension of an existing state roadway. The land
138 owner, Ouzinkie Native Corporation, has agreed to donate ownership of the road right -of -
139 way to the State when construction funding is obtained.
140
141
142 7. Monashka Bay Water and Sewer Project: Feasibility, Planning and Design
143 Estimated Project Cost $500,000
144 State Funding Request $500,000
145
146 There are 256 residential parcels that lie outside the reach of the existing sanitary sewer
147 and public water utilities in the Monashka Bay area. The soil and topography in this area
148 are not ideal for septic systems and many are failing. The construction of a wastewater
149 treatment facility at the Kodiak landfill provides an option for future expansion that could
150 include sanitary sewer treatment for the residents of this area. Water in this neighborhood
151 is provided by wells, cisterns and frequently by tank from a distant public source. Water
152 quality and quantity are questionable in the Monashka Bay neighborhood. Extension of
153 water service from the City of Kodiak will be needed. A feasibility study, planning and
154 design is the first step in providing water and sewer services to the residents of the
155 Monashka Bay area.

157 8. Traffic Safety Lighting between Kodiak City Limits and Benny Benson State
158 Airport
159 Estimated Project Cost $15,000,000
160 State funding request: $2,000,000
161
162 This request is to provide funding to the Department of Transportation for planning and
163 design, and development of a plan of prioritized phased construction for the installation of
164 street lighting along Rezanof Drive between the City of Kodiak and the Benny Benson
165 State Airport. This section of roadway is approximately five miles of dark two lane road
166 with an average speed limit of 45 miles per hour. It is a heavily travelled stretch of road
167 used by those going to and from the state airport, working on the United Stales Coast
168 Guard Base and commuting between outlying communities and the City of Kodiak.
169
170 Section 2: The Kodiak Island Borough administration is hereby instructed to advise

RESOLUTION NO. FY2017-13
A RESOLUTION OF THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND
BOROUGH ADOPTING A STATE LEGISLATIVE CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS PRIORITY LIST FOR THE 2017
LEGISLATIVE SESSION
WHEREAS, the Kodiak Island Borough represents approximately 14,000 residents of the
Kodiak Island Archipelago living in six incorporated cities and one community governed by
a tribal council government; and
WHEREAS, a Borough—wide capital improvement program has been adopted by the
Kodiak Island Borough Planning & Zoning Commission which identifies major needs of the
island community for the next five years; and
WHEREAS, the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly has identified major projects to submit
to the Alaska Governor and State Legislative Delegation for funding consideration;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK
ISLAND BOROUGH THAT:
Section 1: The Kodiak Island Borough's State Legislative capital improvement project
priorities for the 2017 legislative session are as follows:
1. MN Tustumena Replacement Vessel Construction
Estimated Project Cost $238,000,000

120 Funding Acquired 450,000
121 State Funding Request $8,000,000
122
123 An extension of the Anton Larsen Bay Road to ice free waters will provide year around
124 access to communities located in the Kupreanof Strait as well as those who use the
125 island's west side for commercial and recreational purposes. Many times during the year
126 travel by vessel to and from Kodiak is treacherous. Extending the road to ice free waters
127 makes traveling safer, and provides safer access to critical services located in the City of
128 Kodiak including hospitals and businesses. This route was identified in the Kodiak
129 Transportation Plan as an important upland facility.
130
131 The Ouzinkie Native Corporation subsidiary, Spruce Island Development Corporation
132 (SIDCO) received a $450,000 legislative grant for planning and design to construct two
133 miles of gravel road extending the Anton Larsen Road and to construct a parking area and
134 boat launch ramp at the road's termination, a beach near Crag Point.
135
136 Funding is requested to the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities for
137 construction of this road as it is an extension of an existing state roadway. The land
138 owner, Ouzinkie Native Corporation, has agreed to donate ownership of the road right-of-
139 way to the State when construction funding is obtained.

143 Estimated Project Cost $500,000
144 State Funding Request $500,000
145
146 There are 256 residential parcels that lie outside the reach of the existing sanitary sewer
147 and public water utilities in the Monashka Bay area. The soil and topography in this area
148 are not ideal for septic systems and many are failing. The construction of a wastewater
149 treatment facility at the Kodiak landfill provides an option for future expansion that could
150 include sanitary sewer treatment for the residents of this area. Water in this neighborhood
151 is provided by wells, cisterns and frequently by tank from a distant public source. Water
152 quality and quantity are questionable in the Monashka Bay neighborhood. Extension of
153 water service from the City of Kodiak will be needed. A feasibility study, planning and
154 design is the first step in providing water and sewer services to the residents of the
155 Monashka Bay area.

Safe Pathways to Schools
Non -prioritized
A. Safe Pedestrian Access to Kodiak Schools
Estimated Project Cost $1,300,000
State Funding Request $1,300,000
Poor visibility of crosswalks in school zones is a safety hazard! Local weather and traffic
degrade the paint on crosswalks; and pedestrians waiting to cross are often difficult to see due
to the long season of dark days, inclement weather, and busy traffic at popular intersections.
Rezanof Drive is a state-owned roadway and is the main road through the City of Kodiak.
Pedestrians needing to cross this road to access schools that include Kodiak Middle School,
Main Elementary School, East Elementary School and Kctdiak Cgllege must wait fo break
in traffic or for motorists to_notice their intent to cross and)nop to allow the crossing he
Kodiak Island Borough is requesting funding for AKDOT to purchase and install lighted
automated crosswalks at intersections of Rezanof Drive and Powell Street, and Rezanof Drive
and Benny Benson Street to increase pedestrian safety near schools located along Rezanof
Drive.
B. Safe Pathways to North Star Elementary School
Estimated Project Cost: $1,500,000 '
State Funding Request: $1,500,000 y Y�
cw.a i'�
North Star Elementary School is located ##on a hill i � ' f residential neighborhoods.
—ff,c oads connecting theneighborhoods around the school are narrow, steep, and winding
1 ' dirt roads without sidewalks or separated pathways to keep pedestrians safe from vehicular
traffic. The Kodiak Safe Routes to Schools Plan (2013) describes a need for separated
pathways or trails to connect the residential neighborhoods to the school.
C. East Elementary Traffic Flow Improvements
Estimated Project Cost $2,000,000
State Funding Request $2,000,000
There is a safety issue in the East Elementary School parking lot. The school was
constructed in 1966 with a substantial addition in 1988. The facility now totals 39,842
square feet with twenty-five teaching stations. Since the expansion, increased traffic
flows have created dangerous vehicle/student hazards when students are entering and
leaving school. Reconfiguration of the parking area will reduce risks by providing for a
safer separation of pedestrians, small vehicle traffic and bus loading/unloading. The
project will require an increase in the total area of the parking lot to allow adequate
parking to support increased building usage and occupant load.
