AGENDA ITEM #2.D.
To: Kodiak Island Borough Assembly
From: Kodiak Island Borough Marijuana Task Force
Date: November 28, 2016
Regarding: Recommendations for implementation
On March 17, 2016 the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly voted to opt out of
the commercial sale of marijuana in the Borough for one year. Congruent with
that the Assembly created a Marijuana Task Force made up of 11 residents of
the Borough. The group is made up of individuals who use Marijuana
regularly to people who have never used and everyone in between. The
committee fairly accurately reflects the wide ranges of opinions found in the
community. The Marijuana Task Force was tasked with offering advice and
recommendations to the Assembly regarding the implementation of Marijuana
related business in the Kodiak Island Borough. The State of Alaska created a
broad framework and encouraged local municipalities to create laws that best
reflect the local jurisdictions. It was with all this in mind that the Task Force
began its work. The Task Force has met ten times. We limited all of our
meetings to right around two hours.
After much discussion and some compromise the Task Force brings forth the
following recommendations. Please note that some of the recommendations
were quite controversial and this document will attempt to reflect that "conflict"
where it existed. Also please note that the recommendations reflected in this
document are organized in a manner to make it useful for the Assembly but
not necessarily in the order that we addressed them at the meetings.
1. Licenses/Renewal Fees
a. Application Fee: Kodiak Island Borough Application Fee would be
20% of the State fee reflected in AAC 306.100(a)
a. State Fee is currently $1,000
b. Borough Fee $200
b. Annual License Fee: Kodiak Island Borough Annual License Fee
would be 20% of the State fee schedule reflected in AAC 3 06. 100 (d).
a. Retail Marijuana Store License
State currently $5,000, Borough $1,000
b. Limited Marijuana Cultivation Facility License
State currently $1,000, Borough $200
c. Marijuana Cultivation Facility License
State currently $5,000, Borough $1,000

AGENDA ITEM #2.D.
d. Marijuana Concentrate Manufacturing Facility License
State currently $1,000, Borough $200
e. Marijuana Product Manufacturing Facility License
State currently $5,000, Borough $1,000
f. Marijuana Testing Facility License
State currently $1,000, Borough $200
2. Taxes
a. Sales Tax (no sales tax in the Borough):
Fairbanks Borough created a sales tax specific to marijuana and
alcohol but the Kodiak Task Force believed that having any sales tax
in the Borough would create extra staff work and cost more than the
potential benefit.
b. Excise Style Tax:
The State of Alaska will be taxing $50 per ounce at the cultivation
level. The committee was split on this issue. With a slight majority
the committee recommended that the Borough look at taxing at the
cultivation level as well. Numerous committee members felt that the
issue of taxes was a broad policy issue that the Assembly needed to
decide.
3. Notice Requirements:
a. Recommend that they mirror Alcohol notice requirements
4. Opting Out:
There was much discussion in regards to what Marijuana Manufacturing
should look like in Kodiak. This particular issue was discussed in length at
three meetings. Ultimately the recommendation was to opt out of the
manufacturing of edibles (including butter) but allow the manufacturing of
oils, tinctures, and hashes. The concern with edibles was the challenge of
keeping them out of the hands of children. The group split 7 to 2 in favor
of opting out of edibles and split 7 to 2 to allow the manufacturing of oils,
tinctures, and hashes.
The above are general recommendations from the Task Force. The following
recommendations are specific to zoning and the implementation of commercial
marijuana Cultivation, Manufacturing, Retail Sales, and Testing in the Kodiak
Island Borough.
Page 4 of 26
Borough and City Marijuana Committees' Updates: Borough Mari...
AGENDA ITEM #2.D.
1. Cultivation Zoning;
a. Industrial - permitted
b. Business - conditional use
c. Residential (this was a very controversial issue and was discussed at
four meetings)
i. R1, R2, R3 - prohibited (unanimous)
ii. RR, RR I, RR2, Conservation - conditional use (voted 5 to 2)
1. Limited Cultivation License only (as defined in State Law)
2. 500 Square Foot or less (Borough Code requires a home based
business not exceed 20°r" of the Residence)
3. Must only be on a lot that has a single family dwelling on it.
4. Lot must be 20,000 square feet or greater (there was a lot of
discussion on whether this number should be 40,000 or 20,000)
Note: The issue of cultivation was made more difficult because allowing
marijuana cultivation as a conditional use in some Residential and
the Business Districts could create a potential conflict in the current
KIB Title 17 Code. The potential conflict is allowing a conditional use
that is identified as prohibited in Title 17.
2. Manufacturing Zoning:
a. Industrial - permitted
b. Business - conditional use
c. Residential - prohibited
3. Retail Sales Zoning:
a. Industrial - permitted
b. Business - permitted
c. Residential - prohibited
4. Testing Zoning:
a. Industrial - permitted
b. Business - permitted
c. Residential - permitted (split 5 to 3)
The final issue we addressed was the idea of buffer zones. Fairbanks Borough
used buffer zones as a way to exclude certain areas of their community
(residential, schools, etc). The Task Force decided that the term Exclusion
Zones would be clearer to the public as to the intention of these zones. The
committee makes the following recommendations.
Page 5 of 26
Borough and City Marijuana Committees' Updates: Borough Mari...
AGENDA ITEM #2.D.
1. School Exclusion Zone: The school exclusion zone would be consistent
with the Federal Drug Free School Zones that the Kodiak Island Borough
School District is required to abide by. The School Exclusion Zone would
extend 500 feet in a straight line from the edge of school property. No
commercial marijuana activity would be allowed in that zone. This is
consistent with what KIBSD must abide by.
2. All other Exclusion Zones would be consistent with AAC 306.010. This
portion would not be required to be placed in Borough Code because it is
already enumerated in State Statute. To summarize this section of Statute
it states that no license will be issued if the " licensed premise will be
located within 500 feet of a school ground, a recreation or youth center, a
building in which religious services are regularly conducted, or a
correctional facility. The distance specified in this subsection must be
measured by the shortest pedestrian route from the pubic entrance of the
building in which the licensed premises would be located to the outer
boundaries of the school ground, the outer boundaries of the recreation or
youth center, the main public entrance of the building in which religious
services are regularly conducted or the main public entrance of the
correctional facility."
I would like to thank each of the Task Force Members for their time and energy
and commitment to this process. In some ways this process has stretched
each of us away from where we are most comfortable on this topic. This
stretching has lead to much discussion and debate. Even though the debate
was a little heated at times I really appreciate the civility of which each Task
Force Member approached this task. This final recommendation is brought
forward with the unanimous support of the KIB Marijuana Task Force.
Respectfully,

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

2. Safe Pathways to Schools
A. Safe Pedestrian Access to Kodiak Schools
Estimated Project Cost
State Funding Request
AGENDA ITEM #2.E.
$1,300,000
$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 Kodiak College
must wait for a break in traffic or for motorists to notice their intent to cross and stop to
allow the crossing. The 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
Northstar Elementary School is located on a hill amongst several residential
neighborhoods. Many roads connecting those neighborhoods around the school are
narrow, steep, and winding dirt roads without sidewalks or separated pathways to
keep pedestrians safe from vehicular traffic. The Kodiak Safe Routes to Schools Pian
(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
State Funding Request
$2,000,000
$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 load i nglunloadi ng.
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.

AGENDA ITEM #2.E.
97 3. Drainage Improvements to the Chiniak Highway at Sargent Creek
98 Estimated Project Cost $54,000
99 State Funding Request $54,000
100
101 Heavy rains along with high tides consistently cause Sargent Creek to flood and diverge
102 from its channel. This causes flooding at the intersection of the Chiniak Highway and
103 Sargent Creek Road. Recent heavy rain events have necessitated intermittent closure of
104 the intersection due to water on the roadway deep enough to disable vehicle engines.
105 This intersection is the only roadway in and out of Bells Flats subdivision. The flooding
106 occurring here impedes safe travel and often leaves motorists stranded and unable to
107 reach homes or critical services located in town.
108
109 This request is to provide the DOT in Kodiak funding to construct spot improvements for
110 bank stabilization, armoring, and rechanneling as needed to keep the Sargent Creek in its
111 channel and stop the flooding of the roadway.
112
113 4. Anton Larsen Bay Road Extension to Ice Free Water
114 Estimated Project Cost $8,450,000
115 Funding Acquired 450,000
116 State Funding Request $8,000,000
117
118 An extension of the Anton Larsen Bay Road to ice free waters will provide year around
119 access to communities located in the Kupreanof Strait as well as those who use the
120 island's west side for commercial and recreational purposes. Many times during the year
121 travel by vessel to and from Kodiak is treacherous. Extending the road to ice free waters
122 makes traveling safer, and provides safer access to critical services located in the City of
123 Kodiak including hospitals and businesses. This route was identified in the Kodiak
124 Transportation Plan as an important upland facility.
125
126 The Ouzinkie Native Corporation subsidiary, Spruce Island Development Corporation
127 (SIDCO) received a $450,000 legislative grant for planning and design to construct two
128 miles of gravel road extending the Anton Larsen Road and to construct a parking area and
129 boat launch ramp at the road's termination, a beach near Crag Point.
130
131 Funding is requested to the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities for
132 construction of this road as it is an extension of an existing state roadway. The land
133 owner, Ouzinkie Native Corporation, has agreed to donate ownership of the road right -of -
134 way to the State when construction funding is obtained.
135
136
137 5. Monashka Bay Water and Sewer Project: Feasibility, Planning and Design
138 Estimated Project Cost $500,000
139 State Funding Request $500,000
140
141 There are 256 residential parcels that lie outside the reach of the existing sanitary sewer
142 and public water utilities in the Monashka Bay area. The soil and topography in this area
143 are not ideal for septic systems and many are failing. The construction of a wastewater
144 treatment facility at the Kodiak landfill provides an option for future expansion that could
145 include sanitary sewer treatment for the residents of this area. Water in this neighborhood
146 is provided by wells, cisterns and frequently by tank from a distant public source. Water
147 quality and quantity are questionable in the Monashka Bay neighborhood. Extension of
148 water service from the City of Kodiak will be needed. A feasibility study, planning and
149 design is the first step in providing water and sewer services to the residents of the
150 Monashka Bay area.

6. Traffic Safety Lighting between Kodiak City Limits and Benny Benson State
Airport
Estimated Project Cost
State funding request:
$5,500"000
$5,500,000
This request is to provide funding to the Department of Transportation for planning and
design, and development of a plan of prioritized phased construction for the installation of
street lighting along Rezanof Drive between the City of Kodiak and the Benny Benson
State Airport. This section of roadway is approximately five miles of dark two lane road
with an average speed limit of 45 miles per hour. It is a heavily travelled stretch of road
used by those going to and from the state airport, working on the United States Coast
Guard Base and commuting between outlying communities and the City of Kodiak.
Section 2: The Kodiak Island Borough administration is hereby instructed to advise
our State of Alaska Governor and Legislative Delegation of the Capital Improvement
Projects Priority List adopted by the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly.

A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KODIAK ADOPTING
A FY2018 STATE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM LIST
WHEREAS, the City of Kodiak uses a Capital Improvements Program planning process
to identify the capital improvement project needs of the community; and
WHEREAS, this identification and planning process plays a vital role in directing the
City's administration and is utilized as a long-range planning and policy setting tool For City
infrastructure maintenance and enhancement; and
WHEREAS, the City of Kodiak is committed to paying its way to the greatest extent
possible, but the cost of some of the City's capital project needs are greater than the resources
available locally; and
WHEREAS, the Kodiak City Council has identified and prioritized capital improvement
projects for submission to the Alaska State Legislature and Governor for funding consideration
due to their significance and/or magnitude; and
WHEREAS, the National Marine Fisheries Service identified Kodiak as the second
largest commercial fishing port in the United States in terms of volume and third largest in terms
of value of product landed in their most recent national report, and the City requires a large
infrastructure to support this commercial activity; and
WHEREAS, the City of Kodiak relies upon the State of Alaska's legislative and
matching grant programs and revenue sharing to continue to keep its economy strong.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Kodiak, Alaska,
that the following infrastructure replacement/improvement projects and issues are considered of
primary importance and are hereby adopted as the City of Kodiak's FY2018 State capital
improvement project and issues Iist:
1. New Fire Station, Phase II
$ 4,000,000
The City of Kodiak identified the need to replace its fire station and has been working toward
a replacement plan since 2004. The building has clearly outlived its design life. The building
is composed of three structures and sits on a site that is currently very limited. The structure
is built of cement block type construction built in the 1940s with two block and wood frame
additions added in the 1960s and 1975. The structure poses a significant risk of failure in a
seismic event. Cracks in the walls and initial separation of one of the additions from the rest
of the structure occurred following the large 7+ earthquake in 2016. It has ongoing plumbing,
drainage, and water infiltration issues. The facility houses fire and rescue apparatus, three
ambulances, and many types of specialty equipment and medical supplies that support the
Advanced Life Support services offered to the entire Kodiak area well beyond the City

boundaries. The building condition poses constant challenges and problems to the crews who
work and live in the structure. Work to replace this building must continue because it is a key
emergency response and life -safety facility for Kodiak and continues to require constant
maintenance.
The City proposes completion of the project in three phases. Phase I of this project with a
budget of $1,110,000 and funded by the City was used to study the site, which was
determined to be the best site for a new facility once a derelict building is removed. It
includes the removal of the old building, site grading, and other work following the
demolition of the old building. Phase II would include a site preparation package completed
prior to building construction, would make the project more affordable to do in phases,
would reduce the impact to the active fire station, and benefit the transition to a new building.
It would include design, re-routing of underground utilities, and provide a graded pad for
temporary facilities and emergency services equipment. Phase II would total $4,000,000 and
be constructed with the building design anticipated for FY 2018. The remainder, an estimated
$10,000,000, would be required to complete construction and furnish the facility.
The City of Kodiak is requesting funding for Phase I1 of the New Fire Station project from
the State in an amount of $4,000,000 to ensure the project continues to move forward. This
project may also be suitable for a GO Bond package in the event the legislature pursues
bonds as a capital budget financier mechanism.
2. Community Assistance Program
As the cost of providing governmental services rise, the City of Kodiak must rely on and use
all sources of revenue carefully to meet its obligations. The City received $249,981 in
revenue sharing this year, a substantial drop from the $377,926 in FY2016. The City urges
the State to continue to provide revenue sharing to local governments through this program.
3. Shelikof Street Bulkhead Parking $1,100,000
In 2009, the City identified the need for pedestrian improvements from Pier II to downtown
Kodiak as the preferred pedestrian route for cruise ship passengers to safely walk the street
into the town center and to improve facilities for local residents, workers, and businesses that
use the pier, street, and access to the City's adjacent 250 slip boat harbor. The first phase of
the project, construction of an ADA accessible sidewalk, new retaining walls, improved
lighting and parking, and utility work was completed in 2013. The second phase of the
project will be completed by January 2017. This phase covered geotechnical investigation,
design, permitting, mapping, preparation for permitting through the Army Corps of
Engineers, and completion of the design to accommodate a 30 space bulkhead parking area
on the south side of Shelikof Street adjacent to St. Paul Harbor. The roadway area adjacent to
the proposed bulkhead parking is highly congested. Due to lack of adequate parking, vehicles
block walkways, equipment operates in the ROW, and access to businesses is often blocked,
forcing pedestrians into the roadway. Construction of additional off-road parking will direct
pedestrian traffic out of the congested roadway. The net increase in parking will benefit
