Page 30 of 34 Kodiak Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Department Quarterly Report to the Kodiak Island Borough October 15, 2013 1. Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS). Q1 2014 CEDS Committee meeting is scheduled for October 30, 2013. The CEDS planning process and resulting documentation helps coordinate efforts of local government, private industry, non - profits and other community stakeholders to identify and achieve economic development goals. Committee meetings are held in October, December, February /March and April /May to accommodate Kodiak summer schedules. Major updates at the October CEDS Committee meeting include an overview of new proposed rules issued by the Economic Development Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, outlining proposed changes to CEDS guidelines and processes. The new guidance aims to incentivize innovation and collaboration, and modernize the CEDS requirements to four essential planning elements, allowing community planning efforts to focus on strategies, performance and outputs. Due to the federal government shutdown issuance of final rules is delayed, but was expected in the latter half of 2013. The CEDS planning process over the next 6 months will identify economic development priorities for Kodiak and help guide utilization of Chamber resources. 2. Kodiak Fisheries Advisory Council. A September meeting of KFAC was not possible due to conflicts with other federal and local meetings related to fisheries. Discussion at the last Fisheries Work Group (FWG) meeting on October 14, 2013, contemplates dissolving KFAC entirely as the FWG continues to take an active role is fisheries issues. 3. Achieve Stability and Diversification in Fish Processing Industry Through Secondary and Value - Add Processing, Harvesting Under - Utilized Species and Maximizing By- Product Utilization. Prioritization of this item will be clarified during the CEDS planning process, at which time key stakeholders and next steps will be identified, allowing development of specific initiatives, implementation plans and anticipated timelines as appropriate. 4. Kodiak Branding & Marketing Committee. This Committee is currently dormant, and last met in 2011. Further work and resource allocation for this item will be guided by outcomes of the CEDS planning process. 5. Kodiak Island Convention and Visitors Bureau /Discover Kodiak. Throughout Q1 the Chamber and Discover Kodiak focused on ensuring adequate Alaska Marine Highway System (AMHS) service to Kodiak. Efforts touched on exiting vessel schedules, as well as advocating for funds to replace the M/V Tustamena. Limited ferry service throughout all of 2013 negatively impacted Kodiak tourism, as well as the overall Kodiak economy. Outlying communities were unable to access direct ferry service because their docks cannot accommodate the larger M/V Kennicott, and transportation of vehicles and U.S. Coast Guard household transfers were limited due to the Kennicott's scheduled runs to Bellingham, WA. 6. Shop Local Campaign. The Chamber will continue to partner with local retailers and encourage the community to invest in local businesses and Kodiak's economy by shopping locally. AGENDA ITEM #2.c.

Develop Comprehensive Economically Sustainable Fisheries Research Facility in Kodiak. Prioritization of this item will be clarified during the CEDS planning process, at which time key stakeholders and next steps will be identified, allowing development of specific initiatives, implementation plans and anticipated timelines as appropriate. 10.

Web -based Survey and Economic Summit. The Chamber conducted a Kodiak Economic Development and Housing Survey in January, 2013, which identified housing as a key issue for further work, prompting the Chamber to form the Kodiak Housing Taskforce. During FY 2014 the Chamber anticipates holding a summit to introduce and kick off the new CEDS planning process.

Web Presence. The Chamber is currently updating the Economic Development component of its website, which will include virtual information packets for, "Commercial Fishing Loan Program" and, "Starting a Business in Kodiak." The updated site will also serve as a more interactive interface for Kodiak to access outcomes and documentation from the CEDS planning process. AGENDA ITEM #2.c.
