06/02/2016 Regular MeetingKODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH Assembly Regular Meeting June 2, 2016 A regular meeting of the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly was held on June 2, 2016, in the Assembly Chambers of the Kodiak Island Borough Building, 710 Mill Bay Road. The meeting was called to order at 6:30 p.m. The invocation was given by Major Michael Bates of the Salvation Army. Mayor Friend led the Pledge of Allegiance. Present were Mayor Jerrol Friend, Assembly members Kyle Crow, Larry LeDoux, Frank Peterson, Dan Rohrer, Rebecca Skinner, and Dennis Symmons. Also present were Borough Manager Michael Powers, Borough Clerk Nova Javier, and Assistant Clerk Laurie Pardoe. APPROVAL OF AGENDA LEDOUX moved to approve the agenda. VOICE VOTE ON MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. CITIZENS' COMMENTS David Masinter expressed his appreciation that he was able to exercise his right to voice his opinions to the local government. He thanked Resource Management Officer, Duane Dvorak for providing assistance in accessing paperwork for storage options for mobile homes. He said there was a great tum out for the Memorial Day service at the VFW in honor of our heroes and veterans. Monigue Lewis suggested the Assembly explore offering an animal control contract to the local animal shelter. Stephen Foreman spoke in favor of agenda Item 12.B. because the rezone was recommended to the Planning and Zoning Commission and it failed in a tie vote without a full commission present. He spoke briefly about benefits of the potential rezone. He thanked the Assembly for their time and would respect their decision. Scott Arndt spoke to the Kodiak Island Borough fee schedule and budget. He spoke in favor of raising garbage rates and fund paving under dumpsters and a concrete apron at the landfill site. He spoke in favor of accepting metals at the landfill because the majority would probably end up in the dumpsters anyways. He spoke in favor of lowering the mill rate a minimum of a quarter mill or perhaps a half mill. He spoke in favor of reducing the renewal and replacement fund and placing the borough buildings on an enterprise fund. He spoke against deficit funding the baler facility. John Butler spoke to Ordinance No. FY2016-12. He had been told several times that the Joint Building Code Review Committee did not perform as expected and eliminate engineering. As a member of the board, he wanted to state on the record that he took offense to this. The board went through the code, studied it, and developed an alternative with the Wood Frame Construction Manual which could be used by borough or city residents to eliminate several engineering problems. He asked the Assembly to cast their votes with the people of Kodiak and their future in mind. Kodiak Island Borough Assembly Regular Meeting Minutes June 2, 2016 1693 Summer Blaine spoke to Ordinance No. FY2016-12 explaining the role of inspections whether someone builds or buys a home. Putting extra regulations and adding extra cost to an already expensive building environment would restrict availability of homes for people at certain income levels. AWARDS AND PRESENTATIONS Mayor Friend proclaimed the month of June 2016 as Filipino American Heritage Month in Kodiak and urged all citizens to participate in the festivities celebrating the rich heritage and traditions of the Philippine Islands. COMMITTEE REPORTS Mayor Friend attended the Borough Lands Committee (BLC) meeting of Wednesday, June 1. The BLC created a committee that would propose amendments to certain methods and means of Borough Land processes. Assembly member LeDoux reported that the Borough Lands Committee organized a subcommittee to put together a comprehensive review of Kodiak Island Borough Code Title 18. They would do this in-house with public participation instead of paying to hire a consultant. The board would meet bi-weekly on Wednesdays from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. to review rules that guide the transfer of business. This process would be led by Matt Van Daele, Lands and Resource Manager for Koniag Incorporated. The board would like to move forward in several areas that need to be addressed. They would advertise their meetings and encourage public participation. Assembly member Rohrer clarified that the BLC subcommittee's sole purpose was to evaluate strategic portions of Title 18 that could be problematic for releasing land. PUBLIC HEARING 1. Ordinance No. FY2016-12 Amending KIBC Title 15 Buildings and Construction Chapter 15.10 Building Codes to Readopt the 1997 Uniform Building Code for One and Two - Family Dwellings; and to add a Local Exception to Eliminate the Requirement for Engineering for Certain Residential Construction in the Borough. The motion on the floor was: move to adopt Ordinance No. FY2016-12 Version 5 as amended. This item was postponed from the February 4, 2016 and May 5, 2016 regular meetings. At the May 19, 2016 regular meeting this Ordinance was amended by substitution and then postponed with direction to staff to include 1997 Uniform Building Code and add a local exception to eliminate the requirement for engineering for certain residential construction in the borough. It was recommended to hold another public hearing for this item due to the significant changes. This ordinance was requested by Assembly member LeDoux which would amend Chapter 15.10 of the Kodiak Island Borough Code to add a local exception to eliminate the requirement for engineering for certain construction in the borough. Building Official Doug Mathers provided additional information which was provided in the packet regarding the Joint Building Code Review Board's discussion regarding this ordinance. Mayor Friend opened the public hearing. Nancy Jones submitted a letter in support of Ordinance No. FY2016-12 which was read before the Assembly. Kodiak Island Borough Assembly Regular Meeting Minutes June 2, 2016 1694 Jeff Stewart suggested that there was no reason the Assembly had to adopt the 1997 UBC exclusively but could adopt it together with the 2012 IBC. It would provide flexibility for an individual to elect to have a building inspected to either code. Nick Szabo suggested that there was a deficiency in legal notice as the agenda suggested they would discuss waiving the engineering requirements when the Assembly would discuss repealing the requirement for the building code. The public might not be aware of exactly what the Assembly intended to do. In effect, it would not just remove/relax the code but make it optional. This would generate a whole new industry of substandard homebuilders. Kodiak needs some uniform standard for home building. He asked the Assembly to eliminate engineering but not to throw out the whole code. Matt Corriere expressed that he would like to see all building codes gone because the free market would balance itself over time. People do not need the government agency to tell them, to do the right thing. Mayor Friend closed the public hearing. LEDOUX moved to amend Ordinance No. FY2016-12 to revert back to the 1997 Uniform Building Code and delete Section 15.10.050, lines 175-190. ROLL CALL VOTE ON MOTION TO AMEND CARRIED FOUR TO THREE: LeDoux, Peterson, Rohrer, and Friend (Ayes); Crow, Skinner, and Symmons (Noes). Mayor Friend cast his vote to break a tie vote. ROLL CALL VOTE ON MOTION AS AMENDED CARRIED FOUR TO TWO: LeDoux, Peterson, Rohrer, and Skinner (Ayes); Symmons and Crow (Noes). 2. Ordinance No. FY2016-20 Amending KIBC Title 12 Naming Buildings, Public Facilities, Streets and Sidewalks Chapter 12.10 Changes to Existing Street Names; and Title 15 Building and Construction Chapter 15.4 Building Numbering. PETERSON moved to adopt Ordinance No. FY2016-20. Kodiak Island Borough addressing authority introduced this ordinance in order to clarify addressing and street naming procedures. Mayor Friend opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing none, Mayor Friend closed the public hearing. ROLL CALL VOTE ON MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY: Peterson, Rohrer, Skinner Symmons, Crow, and LeDoux. BOROUGH MANAGER'S REPORT Manager Powers Reported on the Following: • Update on the logging process which had begun at the Chiniak fire site • Update on the school district memorandum of agreement and leases • Meeting with Wells Fargo representatives to review programs available to reduce operating costs for borough banking service • Staff meetings on a variety of issues • Conversations with lobbyists at state and federal levels • OSHA complaint was easily resolved but asbestos in the flooring would be a ongoing concern Kodiak Island Borough Assembly Regular Meeting Minutes June 2, 2016 1695 MESSAGES FROM THE BOROUGH MAYOR None. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Ordinance No. FY2017-01 Levying Taxes on All Taxable Real and Personal Property Within the Kodiak Island Borough for the Expenses and Liabilities of the Kodiak Island Borough for the Fiscal Year Commencing on the First Day of July 2016 and Ending on the Thirtieth Day of June 2017 (Fiscal Year 2017 Budget). The motion on the floor was: move to adopt Ordinance No. FY2017-01 (Version 3). This item was amended and postponed at the May 19, 2016 regular meeting. This ordinance budgets for FY2017 Revenues and Expenditures for the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds, and Enterprise Funds. This ordinance would set FY2017 mill rates and set the tax rates for commercial aircraft. LEDOUX moved to amend the FY2017 budget by reducing the mill rate by 0.25 mill. ROLL CALL VOTE ON MOTION TO AMEND FAILED FOUR TO THREE: Rohrer, Crow, Peterson, and Friend (Noes); Skinner, Symmons, and LeDoux (Ayes). Mayor Friend cast his vote to break a tie vote. ROLL CALL VOTE ON MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY: Skinner, Symmons, Crow, LeDoux, Peterson, and Rohrer. Owners Request for Review of a Planning and Zoning Commission Action Denying a Rezone of Lots 10 thru 13, Block 31, East Addition Subdivision FROM R2 -Two Family Residential To R3 -Multifamily Residential (KIBC 17.205.055B) (P&Z Case No. 16-012). The motion on the floor was: move to direct staff to prepare an ordinance for introduction for rezone at the next regular meeting of the Assembly. This item was postponed at the May 19, 2016 regular meeting waiting for an attorney's opinion. This review involved a request to rezone four lots from R2 -Two-family Residential to R3 - Multifamily Residential (P&Z Case No. 16-012). The four lots in question had been developed as two parcels since the late 1960's (Lots 10-11 as one parcel and Lots 12-13 as one parcel). Multi -family residences were established on both parcels and are legal nonconforming uses in R2 zoning, as both were constructed prior to June 5, 1980. Because each structure crossed the property line separating the two respective lots and those respective lots were under contiguous ownership and shared common right-of-way frontage, the two lots were considered to be undivided parcels for the purposes of zoning (per a Borough attorney legal memo from August 5, 1986). A rezone to R3 would extinguish the nonconforming use and potentially allow for expansion of the existing multi -family residences through the construction of additional dwelling units, provided all requirements of current zoning code could be satisfied. The rezone would also allow both structures to be reconstructed as multi -family residences should either structure ever be destroyed by fire or other means (prohibited as currently zoned). Kodiak Island Borough Assembly Regular Meeting Minutes June 2, 2016 1696 It is important to note that this rezone would not bind the applicants to the existing multi -family dwelling use. Once rezoned, any use permitted in R3 zoning may be established on either of the parcels. The timeline of this request was: • The applicants submitted their rezone request on February 1, 2016. • Staff recommended that the Planning and Zoning Commission approve the rezone request. • The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing at their regular meeting on March 16, 2016. • A motion to approve the rezone failed on a 3-3 vote. • Pursuant to KIBC 17.205.055(B), the Planning and Zoning Commission's denial of a proposed rezone shall be final unless the initiating party requests that the Commission's action be taken up by the Assembly. • Such a consideration by the Assembly is not an appeal. • The applicant requested that this rezone denial be taken up by the Assembly by letter dated March 21, 2016. • On April 20, 2016 the Planning and Zoning Commission adopted findings of fact in support of their decision. The findings of fact and draft minutes are attached to this memo. Final minutes will be forwarded to the Assembly upon Planning and Zoning Commission approval. ROLL CALL VOTE ON MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY: Symmons, Crow, LeDoux, Peterson, Rohrer, and Skinner. NEW BUSINESS Contracts 1. Contract No. FY2016-51 Kodiak Middle School Canopy Replacement Project. PETERSON moved to authorize the Manager to execute Contract No. FY2016-51 with Jay Brant General Contractors LLC of Homer, AK for the Kodiak Middle School Canopy Replacement project in an Amount Not to Exceed $197,435. Kodiak Island Borough Code 3.30.020 Limitation on Manager's Authority states that a contract exceeding $25,000 requires Assembly approval. This contract was for construction of the Kodiak Middle School Canopy Replacement project, one of the bond projects approved by voters in 2014. The scope of work was to provide a new steel structure and metal roofing for the exterior bus canopy at Kodiak Middle School. Design was completed by Jensen Yorba Lott, and approved by the Architectural/Engineering Review Board. An invitation to bid was issued on April 15, 2016, and bids were due and opened on May 10, 2016. Two bids were received. After reviewing bids, Staff had determined that Jay Brant General Contractors is the lowest responsive bidder. The bid documents included an alternate to paint the steel structure instead of replacing it. While the cost to replace the structure was approximately $30,000 more than painting, a new galvanized steel structure would last significantly longer and require less maintenance than painting the existing structure. Staff recommended awarding the base bid to provide all new steel. Kodiak Island Borough Assembly Regular Meeting Minutes June 2, 2016 1697 Funding for this project came from general obligation bonds. The Alaska Department of Education and Early Development reviewed and approved the bid documents and this project was eligible for 70% reimbursement by the State. The project agreement with the State included replacement of the East Elementary Roof and Kodiak Middle School Canopy. The budget for the KMS portion of the project is $208,806, and the proposed contract is $197,435. The work was scheduled to be completed before the start of school next Fall ROLL CALL VOTE ON MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY: Crow, LeDoux, Peterson, Rohrer, Skinner, and Symmons. 2. Contract No. FY2016-53 A Sole Source Professional Services Contract for Forest Management Services in Accordance with KIBC 18.70.070 — Management Agreements. PETERSON moved to approve Contract FY2016-53, a sole source professional services contract for Forest Management Services in an amount not to exceed $34,700.00. A professional services contract with Wade Wahrenbrock, Forest Management Consultant was recommended in order to provide for contract compliance inspections and technical assistance to staff in support of the salvage timber harvest in Chiniak. A-1 Timber met the last few contract requirements last week clearing the way for salvage activities to begin after awaiting the results of the archaeological survey that was conducted on Monday, May 23rd. In addition, Mr. Waharenbrock was on leave until May 20th which hampered staff's ability to get updated contract information in time for the agenda deadline. The bulk of contracted activities would take place in FY2017 where there was adequate funds provided for these services and for administrative activities of staff. In the fiscal year (FY2016) the contractual line item was showing a deficit, primarily because no funds were budgeted for contractual, however the overall Resource Management budget was at 76% as of 5/31/16. There should be no difficulty covering June 2016 expenses from departmental funds to allow the compliance inspections and reforestation work to begin concurrently with salvage timber harvest activities. ROLL CALL VOTE ON MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY: LeDoux, Peterson, Rohrer, Skinner, and Crow (Ayes); Symmons (No) 3. Contract No. FY2017-01 Kodiak Island Borough and City of Kodiak Animal Control Services Agreement. PETERSON moved to authorize the manager to execute Contract No. FY2017-01 with the City of Kodiak for animal control services for the period of July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2019 in the amount of $109,415.00 per year. This was a renewal/extension of the existing animal control services contract between the borough and the city. The contract was effective for three years with all terms and conditions being the same as in the existing contract. CROW moved to amend Contract No. FY2017-01 by reducing the term to a 1 -year contract. ROLL CALL VOTE ON MOTION TO AMEND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY: Peterson, Rohrer, Skinner, Symmons, Crow, and LeDoux. ROLL CALL VOTE ON MOTION AS AMENDED CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY: Rohrer, Skinner, Symmons, Crow, LeDoux, and Peterson. Kodiak Island Borough Assembly Regular Meeting Minutes June 2, 2016 1698 Resolutions 1. Resolution No. FY2017-02 Reestablishing the Fees for the Kodiak Island Borough. ROHRER moved to adopt Resolution No. FY2017-02. KIBC 3.10.190 ordained that all Kodiak Island Borough fees be reviewed on an annual basis. The last fee resolution was reviewed and adopted in June 2015. These fee changes were more inline with the budgetary needs for the 2017 fiscal year. LEDOUX moved to amend Resolution No. FY2017-02 to reduce the building fee for owner built single occupancy residential construction to a single $150.00 fee. ROLL CALL VOTE ON MOTION CARRIED FOUR TO TWO: Skinner, Symmons, LeDoux, and Peterson (Ayes); Rohrer and Crow (Noes). PETERSON moved to postpone Resolution No. FY2017-02 to the next regular meeting of the Assembly. ROLL CALL VOTE ON MOTION TO POSTPONE CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY: Skinner, Symmons, Crow, LeDoux, Peterson, and Rohrer. Ordinances for Introduction 1. Ordinance No. FY2016-01A Amending Ordinance No. FY2016-01, Fiscal Year 2016 Budget, by Amending Budgets to Account for Various Revenues That Are Over Budget, Providing for Additional Expenditures and Moving Funds Between Projects. PETERSON moved to adopt Ordinance No. FY2016-01A in first reading to advance to public hearing at the next regular meeting of the Assembly. This budget adjustment accounted for the following: • Move $93,000 from the Information Technology Department to the Community Development Department to account for moving of the GIS Analyst position from the IT Department to Community Development. • Add $4,479 to Trinity Island Paving Fund to cancel out negative fund balance • Move incorrectly coded lease income from Land Sale Fund (Fund 210) to Women's Bay Road Service District (Fund 240) • Decrease transfers out from the Facilities Fund (Fund 276) by $196,546 • Add $62,818 from the sale of bonds to the Debt Service Fund (Fund 300) • Approve spending $100,000 from Womens Bay Fire Department for Womens Bay Emergency Center construction • Add $10,566 to the Oil Spill Disaster Fund (Fund 270) to cover expenses that were not reimbursed. • Move $25,455 from Debt Service (Fund 300-300) to Karluk Clean Water Loan Debt Service (Fund 300-307) paying off that loan early. • Transfer $379,580 from Capital Projects -Borough (Fund 410) to Capital Projects -School (Fund 420) • Combine Old Harbor Emergency Generator and Karluk Emergency Generator Projects into one Emergency Generator Project in Capital Projects (Fund 450) • Return a total of $272,409 to State of Alaska for KHS Swimming Pool Project. $52,392 from Renewal and Replacement Projects Fund (Fund 469) and $220,017 from Capital Projects -School (Fund 420).

ROLL CALL VOTE ON MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY: Symmons, Crow, LeDoux, Peterson, Rohrer, and Skinner. Ordinance No. FY2016-21 An Ordinance of the Assembly of the Kodiak Island Borough Amending Kodiak Island Borough Personnel Code Chapter 4 Hiring and Advancement Section 402 Job Vacancies and Section 405 Job Posting to Allow an Alternative for the Borough to Recruit New Applicants. LEDOUX moved to adopt Ordinance No. FY2016-21 in the first reading to advance to public hearing at the next regular meeting of the Assembly. This ordinance was requested by Assembly Member Skinner. Currently the KIB Personnel Manual and Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) would both allow for the internal posting of any position vacancies first to current employees. This ordinance would allow for an alternative process for the recruitment of new applicants for vacant Borough positions, by simultaneous announcement of position vacancies internally and publicly; and through the assistance of employment referral services. Pertinent sections of the KIB Personnel Manual include Chapter 1, Section 105 AMENDMENTS, which allowed amendments to the manual to be made by ordinance only; Chapter 2 ORGANIZATION AND DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY which outlined the organization and duties of the Personnel Board and the process of considering changes to the Personnel Manual; and Sections 402 and 405 of the Personnel Manual. Procedurally, our Ordinances required that the Personnel Advisory Board make a recommendation to the Assembly. Since this would potentially affect the recognized bargaining unit, discussions with them regarding this change would also need to occur. Staff would undertake these two processes and then return to the Assembly for final action on the Ordinance. SKINNER moved to amend the motion to advance the ordinance to public hearing on July 21, 2016. ROLL CALL VOTE ON MOTION TO AMEND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY: Crow, LeDoux, Peterson, Rohrer, Skinner, and Symmons. ROLL CALL VOTE ON MOTION AS AMENDED CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY: LeDoux, Peterson, Rohrer, Skinner, Symmons, and Crow.

LEDOUX moved to adopt Ordinance No. FY2016-22 in first reading to advance to public hearing at the next regular meeting of the Assembly. During the budget process the assembly proposed a reduction of $75 from the mayor's $500 per month compensation and $50 from the assembly's $300 per month compensation. Kodiak Island Borough Assembly Regular Meeting Minutes June 2, 2016 1700 AS29.20.620 Compensation for Elected Officials states "The salary of the mayor may not be reduced during the term of office of the mayor, unless during the term a manager plan is adopted."

Other Items 1. Confirmation of the Assembly Appointment to the Mission Lake "Tidegate" Service Area Board.

He expressed admiration for what people said in the discussion of building codes and his interest in discussing a three-year bond issue. Assembly member LeDoux expressed appreciation for public comments. He spoke concerning increasing landfill costs that were being subsidized rather than passed on to customers and that the borough was unable to make necessary upgrades at the landfill. He expressed a desire to invite committees to be in attendance when committee reports are presented to the Assembly. He expressed appreciation to Finance Director Dora Cross for the work she had done on the budget. He expressed gratitude to Engineering and Facilities Director Bob tucker for his leadership in working to get Larsen Bay's playground into the budget.
