RE: 2014 Bond Projects Update
Background
In October 2014 Kodiak Island Borough voters approved a $10.2 million bond package to
finance renewal and replacement projects for school facilities. There were 28 total projects
included in the bond package for items such as roof replacements, mechanical upgrades, and
underground storage tank replacements. After the bond package was approved the 28 projects
were grouped into ten projects by school and/or trade by the School Facilities Review Committee
and Borough Staff. For example, the Kodiak Middle School Bus Ramp Roof Replacement and
East Elementary School Cafeteria Roof Replacement were combined into one project named
Roofing Replacement - East and KMS. The grouped projects and anticipated three-year
completion schedule were presented to the Assembly on August 13, 2015. On January 7, 2016,
the Assembly approved the first bond sale and design began for the fust year of projects.
Status
Seven out of the ten grouped projects are now complete. The Roofing Replacement - East and
KMS, Flooring Replacement - Main and Peterson, and Peterson Boilers and Controls projects
were completed during summer 2016. The East Renovations Phase 1, Playground Replacements,
Flooring Replacement - Akhiok, Karluk, Ouzinkie, and KMS Fire Alarm/HVAC/Elevator
Controls projects were completed during summer 2017. The final three projects, East
Renovations Phase 2, Peterson/KMS Paving and UST Replacement, and UST Replacement -
Main, Old Harbor, Port Lion are currently out for bid or in the final stages of design, and
scheduled for construction in summer 2018.

Discussion
The projects completed to date are cumulatively a little more than $1,360,000 under budget.
Staff is currently working with the Alaska Department of Education and Early Development to
redirect some of those funds to the Main Elementary Walkway ($347,500) and Kodiak Middle
School Boilers ($321,000) projects. The remaining $690,000 would be available to cover any
overages in the projects scheduled for 2018.
There has been concern among the Assembly about the potential for contaminated soil in the
UST projects causing cost overruns. While there is always a certain amount of risk with UST
projects, Staff has worked to try to minimize that risk as much as possible. Staff was able to
work with an environmental engineering firm to do some investigation at the UST's at Kodiak
Middle School and Main Elementary. The investigation at Kodiak Middle School did not find
significant levels of contamination, and existing underground utilities impeded the investigation
Page 2
at Main Elementary. If contaminated soil is encountered those underground utilities would also
provide an justification to leave it in place rather than removing it.
The bid documents for the UST projects are structured to remove up to 100 cubic yards of
contaminated soil at each site on a unit price basis. The contractor would only be paid for the
actual cubic yards removed, but the total amount would be included in the contract amount. If
fewer than 100 cubic yards are removed, a change order would reduce the contract amount
accordingly. This should provide some assurance that the contract amount will not be exceeded
during construction.
In the event that a large amount of contaminated soil is encountered during these projects, Staff
feels that there are adequate funds available to successfully complete the remaining bond
projects.

ASSEMBLY REGULAR MEETING
Kodiak Island Borough
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. FY2018-01A Amending Ordinance No. FY2018-01, Fiscal Year
2018 Budget, By Amending Budgets To Account For Various Revenues That
Are Over Budget, Providing For Additional Expenditures And Moving Funds
Between Projects.
ORIGINATOR: Dora Cross
RECOMMENDATION:
Move to adopt Ordinance No. FY2018-01A.
DISCUSSION:
1. Fire Protection Area #1 was the recipient of a $154,762 award from the Assistance to
Firefighters Grant. This grant will be used to purchase 27 new Scott Minute Self contained
Breathing Apparatus's and spare bottles; current equipment is 15 years old. Ther e is a cost
match requirement of $7,738.
2. The Borough was the recipient of a $600,000 award from the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency Cooperative Agreement for a Brownfield Site Revitalization Program. The project
period is 10/01/2017 - 09/30/2020 and provides funding to inventory, characterize, assess and
conduct cleanup planning and community involvement related activities for Brownfield sites.
The Assembly approved the first contract (FY2018-11) for this project on October 5, 2017
3. Increase revenue and expenses for the Solid Waste Collection and Disposal fund by $85,000
for the design of the electrical transfer stations, emergency power panels and sizing of the
generator for the Leachate Treatment Plant. The plant currently has no backup power and a
prolonged loss of power would have a severe impact on the operation of the plant. There are
Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) loan funds available, however, if
DEC does not approve use of funds for this purpose, there are revenue bond fun ds available.
4. In May 2017 the Assembly voted to approve the use of $565,000 from the Solid Waste
Collection and Disposal fund to replace the roof and siding at the Baler Building. Rather than
use enterprise funds there are revenue bonds available from the recent Landfill Expansion
project that would be better suited to fund this project. The project scope has also been
increased to address other deficiencies at the building, and the revised project estimate is
$750,000.
5. At the work session on September 14, 2017, Kodiak Island Borough (KIB) and Kodiak Island
Borough School District (KIBSD) staff presented the issues with the existing fuel oil boilers at
Kodiak Middle School. Kodiak Electric Association (KEA) has agreed to reimburse KIB for the
cost to install an electric boiler which would alleviate immediate concerns about both boilers
failing. The budget for this work is $275,000. KEA has provided a letter of intent to enter into a
Memorandum of Agreement for this reimbursement.
6. In 1997, Kodiak Island Borough entered into an agreement with Providence Health & Services
Alaska (Providence) to operate and lease the hospital. At that time, we retained ownership of
specific disposable inventory items should Providence default and the Borough had to take
back hospital operations. In June 2017, the Borough and Providence have entered into a new
lease, effective July 1, 2017, and other provisions in the new lease make retaining ownership
of disposable inventory no longer necessary. This will remove $277,007 of Inventoried assets
from Borough financials.
7. In September of 2016, a third water event in as many years made emergency repairs to a
culvert running under the East Elementary ball field necessary in order to eliminate the danger
of flooding to area homes. Both the City of Kodiak and the Borough participated in the repair of
the ball field and each entity paid for their own expenses. The $120,355 of funds to pay for this

STAFF REPORT

ASSEMBLY REGULAR MEETING
Kodiak Island Borough
project will be paid from the Renewal and Replacement fund.
8. When the FY2018 budget was finalized in June 2017, the lease agreement between the
Borough and Providence Health & Services Alaska was not completed so an estimate was
used. Since the budget adoption, an agreement has been signed which requires a decrease
the budgeted revenue to the Hospital Facility fund by $115,728.
9. When the FY2018 budget was finalized in June 2017, the new Long-Term Care enterprise fund
had not been created so revenues and expenses were budgeted in Hospital Facility fund. This
will move the $1,143,322 of budgeted revenues and $704,688 of expenses from the Hospital
Facility fund to the Long-Term Care fund.
10. The assembly granted two entities renting space in the Borough Annex Building a 'rent holiday'
for FY2018. This will decrease the revenues and expenses in the Bu ilding and Grounds fund
by $13,387.20; $7,176 for American Red Cross and $6,211.20 for Teen Court.
ALTERNATIVES:
FISCAL IMPACT:
1. Saves the Fire District from purchasing $154,762 of equipment using tax revenues.
2. No fiscal impact - grant will pay for all expenses.
3. Initially, this will increase the loan balance or decrease existing available bond funds
by $85,000. Cannot adequately determine what expenses would be incurred should
the plant experienced a prolonged power outage.
4. Decrease existing available bond funds.
5. No fiscal impact - grant will pay for all expenses.
6. No fiscal impact - inventory is obsolete.
7. No fiscal impact - funds are removed from the Borough Building project.
8. No fiscal impact - simply moving revenues from one enterprise fund to another
9. No fiscal impact - simply moving revenues from one enterprise fund to another.
10. Decrease the amount of repair and maintenance money available to spend on
Borough Buildings.

KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH
STAFF REPORT
NOVEMBER 2, 2017
ASSEMBLY REGULAR MEETING
Kodiak Island Borough
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. FY2018-32 Rezoning Emerald Isle Estates Tract From R3-
Multifamily Residential District To R1-Single-Family Residential District (P&Z
Case No. 18-002).
ORIGINATOR: Jack Maker
RECOMMENDATION:
Move to adot Ordinance No. FY2018-32.
DISCUSSION:
This is a request to rezone the 11.8 acre Emerald Isle Estates Tract from R3-Multifamily
Residential District to R1-Single-Family Residential District. The subject parcel is the former
site of Jackson’s Mobile Home Park. In 2015, zoning compliance was issued to change the
use from a mobile home park to residential (BZ2015-096). The applicant is nearing
completion of extinguishing the mobile home park use and has received preliminary approval
for subdividing the parcel to create twenty-one lots and one large tract to be further
subdivided in the future. This rezone request is the next step in the applicant’s effort to
prepare the lots to be offered for sale to the public for residential development. The applicant
desires to limit development in the proposed subdivision to single-family dwellings and
associated incidental and subordinate uses. Accordingly, a rezone from R3-Multifamily
Residential District to R1-Single-Family Residential District is requested.
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on this rezone request at their
August 16, 2017 regular meeting. The Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the
Assembly approve this rezone.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Take no action.
2. Reject the Planning & Zoning Commission's recommendation to approve.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Although no direct fiscal impact will result from this rezone, the pending subdivision and future
development of the newly created lots will likely result in an increase in tax revenue.
OTHER INFORMATION:
A combination of buildings and uses that are not consistent with R1-Single-Family Residential
District zoning are currently situated on the parcel (multiple single-family dwellings and mobile
home storage). Those buildings and uses are remnants of the mobile home park use that is
being extinguished. To address those inconsistencies, the rezone ordinance includes an
effective clause that will ensure all structures and uses are brought into compliance with Title
17 (Zoning) of the Borough Code prior to the rezone becoming effective.

STAFF ANALYSIS
This is a request to rezone the 11.8 acre Emerald Isle Estates Tract from R3-Multifamily
Residential District to R1-Single-Family Residential District.
The subject parcel is the former site of Jackson’s Mobile Home Park. In 2015, zoning
compliance was issued to change the use from a mobile home park to residential (BZ2015-096).
The applicant is nearing completion of extinguishing the mobile home park use. This rezone
request is the next step in the applicant’s effort to proceed with residential development.
The applicant intends to subdivide the parcel into individual lots to be offered for sale for
residential development. A corresponding subdivision request has been submitted in
conjunction with this rezone request (Case No. S18-001). That case follows this request. The
applicant desires to limit development in the proposed subdivision to single-family dwellings and
associated incidental and subordinate uses. Accordingly, a rezone to R1-Single-Family
Residential District is requested. It is important to note that, should this rezone be denied, the
applicant may still limit development to the desired uses through restrictive covenants.
FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION, ZONING, AND USE
The subject parcel is assigned a Future Land Use Designation of Urban Residential. The
current R3-Multifamily Residential zoning and requested R1-Single-Family Residential zoning
are both consistent with that designation. The applicant’s desire to limit future development to
single-family dwellings and associated incidental and subordinate uses is also consistent with
the requested R1-Single-Family Residential zoning.
The transition from mobile home park to residential is still in progress. Although most structures
associated with the mobile home park use have been removed, the following structures remain:
• A longstanding warehouse/shop building 1 that fronts Spruce Cape Road and is adjacent to
the Spruce Cape helipad on Lot 29 U.S. Survey 3099. This structure was permitted in
residential zoning by an exception in 1965. An apartment was constructed within the
structure in 1982 and remains to date. Accordingly, the structure meets the definition of a
single-family dwelling with attached garage/shop.
• An approximate 20’ x 35’ accessory building 2 located behind the above building.
• A single-family dwelling 3 that fronts spruce Cape Road.
• A single-family dwelling 4 near the southwest corner.
• Five manufactured homes and one small accessory building 5 stored at various locations.

P & Z REGULAR MEETING: AUGUST 16, 2017
Case No. 18-002
AGENDA ITEM #9.B.
Ordinance No. FY2018-32 Rezoning Emerald Isle Estates Tract ...Page 27 of 135
The combination of buildings that remain on the parcel and their associated uses are not
consistent with R1-Single-Family Residential District Permitted Uses (multiple single-family
dwellings and mobile home storage). As stated above, the effort to extinguish the mobile home
park use and proceed with residential development is still in progress. That effort will require
that these structures be brought into compliance with Title 17 (Zoning) of the Borough Code
prior to being allowed to proceed with residential development. To ensure the existing structures
are brought into compliance prior to the rezone becoming effective, the following effective
clause is recommended:
• This ordinance shall become effective upon verification by the Community Development
Department that all structures and uses on Emerald Isle Estates Tract have been brought
into compliance with the requirements of Title 17 (Zoning) of the Borough Code. Should all
structures and uses not be brought into compliance within 36 months of Assembly approval,
this approval shall become null and void.
*Staff Note: The recommended conditions of approval for the corresponding subdivision request
require that these structures are brought into compliance prior to approval of the
Final Plat (this would be required for any request to subdivide the subject parcel).
Consequently, satisfying those conditions of approval would also satisfy the
effective clause, resulting in the rezone becoming effective at the same time as
Final Plat approval.
RECENT DEVELOPMENT TRENDS IN THE AREA
The most recent development in the area has been the removal of mobile homes and other
structures from the mobile home park that was previously established on this parcel. Prior to
this, development was negligible due to the lack of vacant land. As stated earlier in this report,
the applicant intends to subdivide the parcel into individual lots for single-family residential
development. Those actions will promote the development of single-family dwellings, which is
consistent with the residential character of the surrounding area.
COMPATABILITY OF LAND USES
The parcel is situated in a neighborhood that is generally residential in character, consisting of a
mixture of R1-Single-Family Residential, R2-Two-Family Residential, R3-Multifamily Residential,
and RR1-Rural Residential One zoning and uses (single-family residences). The portion of the
parcel that fronts Spruce Cape Road is across from and/or adjacent to PL- Public Use Lands
zoning and uses (wastewater treatment plant and vacant Borough owned land that is pending
subdivision into three lots, two of which will be rezoned to R2 upon the recording of the Final
Plat) Rezoning the parcel from R3-Multifamily Residential District to R1-Single-Family
Residential District will maintain the area’s residential character and be consistent with
surrounding zoning and uses.
LAND SUITABILITY
The subject parcel is 11.8 acres. It is served by City Sewer and water and is accessed by
existing roadways. For decades the parcel adequately accommodated a combination of
approximately 100 manufactured homes and single-family dwellings. In doing so, the parcel has
proven capable of providing multiple building sites and parking areas that can accommodate the
full range of uses permitted in R1-Single-Family Residential zoning.
TRAFFIC IMPACTS
The parcel is accessed by urban collector and local roadways (Spruce Cape Road, Jackson
5 Appendix 5.1 and 5.2
PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 7-A
P & Z REGULAR MEETING: AUGUST 16, 2017
Case No. 18-002
AGENDA ITEM #9.B.
Ordinance No. FY2018-32 Rezoning Emerald Isle Estates Tract ...Page 28 of 135
Lane, and Metrokin Way). For several decades, those roadways adequately accommodated the
traffic generated by the previously established mobile home park use. Rezoning the parcel to
from R3-Multifamily Residential District to R1-Single-Family Residential District will result in
permitted uses that are less intensive with regard to traffic generation. Consequently, should
this rezone be approved, the existing roadways will be capable of continuing to provide safe and
adequate access to and from the site.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSISTENCY
This Rezone is consistent with the Urban Residential Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use
Designation assigned to the parcel. The rezone is also consistent with the following goals,
policies, and implementation actions of the adopted Comprehensive Plan:
• Land Use Goal: Regulate and manage land uses to balance the rights of private property
owners with community values and objectives.
Policy: Maximize compatibility of adjacent land uses and minimize conflicts through
zoning, buffering, design standards, and other means.
Policy: Zone land to meet future housing, commercial, industrial, and other land needs.
o Implementation Actions: Identify an adequate supply of land in each community to
meet future residential needs and other land development needs based on future
population and employment growth projections, assumptions about the type and land
requirements for projected uses, and conditions or constraints that might affect
development. Consider use of public or private Native-owned land to help meet
these needs.
• Housing Goal: Help ensure that an adequate supply of land for housing and a sufficient
stock of housing, including affordable housing, are available for Borough residents.
Policy: In partnership with local communities, Tribal councils, Native Corporations, the
Kodiak Island Housing Authority, and others, help ensure that there is an adequate
supply of developable residential land to meet long-term housing needs throughout the
Borough, including senior housing.
CONCLUSION
Staff has determined that this rezone is consistent with the assigned Future Land Use
Designation and various objectives of the adopted Comprehensive Plan and satisfies the
requirements of Title 17 of the Kodiak Island Borough Code for amendments and changes as
set forth in the recommended findings of fact. Anticipating a favorable recommendation to the
assembly, a draft rezone ordinance is attached to this report.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Commission forward this rezone request to the Kodiak Island
Borough Assembly with a recommendation for approval, subject to an effective clause.
APPROPRIATE MOTION
Should the Commission agree with the staff recommendation, the appropriate motion is:
Move to recommend that the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly approve the
rezone of Emerald Isle Estates Tract from R3-Multifamily Residential District to
R1-Single-Family Residential District (KIBC 17.205), subject to an effective
clause, and to adopt the findings of fact listed in the staff report dated August 16,
2017 and entered into the record for this case as “Findings of Fact” for Case No.
18-002.
FINDINGS OF FACT (KIBC 17.205.020.A-C)
1. The applicant desires to limit development of Emerald Isle Estates Tract, and any lots
that may be created by subdivision of the tract, to single-family dwellings and associated
incidental and subordinate uses. Rezoning the parcel from R3-Multifamily Residential
District to R1-Single-Family Residential District will facilitate the desired development.
2. The parcel is situated in a longstanding neighborhood that is generally residential in
character and zoning. Rezoning the parcel from R3-Multifamily Residential District to R1-
Single-Family Residential District will maintain that residential character and be
consistent with the surrounding zoning.
3. The parcel is capable of providing multiple building sites and parking areas that can
accommodate the full range of uses permitted in the R1-Single-Family Residential
District.
4. The rezone is consistent with the Urban Residential Comprehensive Plan Future Land
Use Designation assigned to the lot. The rezone is also consistent with, and will further
implement, various land use and economic goals, policies, and implementation actions
identified in the adopted Comprehensive Plan.
5. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends that the Borough Assembly approve
this rezone.

Dear Mayor Rohrer and the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly:
This letter is in response to the reestablishment of the Kodiak Workforce Regional Advisory
Council. KWRAC was last reestablished in 2014.
Since then, KWRAC has helped introduce and mediate AK DOL Registered Apprentice
programs in Kodiak, advised the KHS entrepreneurship program, hosted a workforce forum,
collected employer data, and has recently begun discussions on how the community can assist
with:
Voc Rehab employment needs
Education and training for immigrants who have foreign professional credentials
Resurrecting job fairs and small business/start-up/self-employment advising
Unfortunately, as you are aware, the Council has repeated difficulty establishing quorums in
order to conduct business, stifling the important work that everyone on the Council agrees is
necessary for our community. The meetings in which we do have a quorum, business has still
remained sluggish due to the lack of attendance and participation by several significant
community partners (industry sector representatives, education organizations, and local
government representation).
As a function of the Kodiak Island Borough, KWRAC is beholden to open meetings laws, and
because of the difficulty of holding meetings, we, the undersigned, recommend against
reestablishing KWRAC as a borough advisory group, shifting responsibility of continuing the
group to those organizations equipped and specifically charged with responding to Kodiak’s
workforce needs: UAA, Kodiak College, UAF/FITC, and the Kodiak Island Borough School
District. Ideally, the Chamber of Commerce, native corporations, and our local Dept. of Labor
office will take a leadership and organizational position, too.
Doing so will:
Relieve the group of quorum regulations
Compel these organizations to hold joint meetings specifically concerning Kodiak’s
workforce needs, share resources and align programs, and regularly present a cohesive
message to the Kodiak Island Borough about workforce development
Eliminate the allocation of already stretched KIB resources (KIB Code 2.155.050)
De-establishing KWRAC, however, may also have detrimental effects:
Loss of the public voice and accountability, unless a new reiteration of KWRAC
intentionally makes their meetings public. We don’t think a KWRAC that serves only the
organizational interests of KIBSD and/or Kodiak College is in our community’s best
interest, and we think the Council agrees with that.
Loss of obligation to advise the KIB in workforce-related issues, unless Borough
participation is intentionally sought and maintained.
AGENDA ITEM #9.C.
Ordinance No. FY2018-10 Reestablishing Boards, Committees, a...Page 53 of 135
10/18/2017
If KWRAC were de-established, we recommend that the seats and original duties (KIB Code
2.155) be maintained, with a few exceptions:
Addition of a Voc Rehab seat in 2.155.010 “Membership”
Deletion of 2.155.040.C “Provide oversight and advice on One-Stop Job Center
operations to ensure they are meeting regional and local needs.” This particular duty
would be inappropriate for a non-public advisory council.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Sincerely,

Advisory Council

2.100.180 Termination.
A. All boards, committees, and commissions established under this chapter, with the exception of those
mandated by state law, shall terminate by operation of law three years from the date of passage of this section,
unless affirmatively reestablished or continued by the assembly for a period not to exceed three years. Any
newly created board, committee, or commission shall be subject to the provisions of this section. Prior to the
termination, continuation, or reestablishment, the clerk shall publish a notice of termination 60 days prior to the
termination, and the assembly shall hold a public hearing, receiving testimony from the general public and
members of the board, committee, or commission. In said hearing, the board, committee, or commission shall
have the burden of demonstrating a public need for its continued existence.
B. A determination as to whether a board, committee, or commission has demonstrated a public need for its
continued existence shall take into consideration the following factors:
1. The extent to which a board, committee, commission or program has operated in the public
interest;
2. The extent to which a board, committee, or commission has recommendations which are
generally of benefit to the public interest;
3. The extent to which a board, committee, or commission has encouraged interested persons
to report to it concerning the effect of its decisions on the effectiveness of service, and
availability of service which it has provided;
4. The extent to which the board, committee, or commission has encouraged public participation
in the making of its decisions; and
5. The efficiency with which public inquiries or complaints regarding the activities of the board,
committee, commission or agency filed with it, with the department to which a board, committee,
or commission is administratively assigned, have been processed and resolved. [Ord. 02-15 §2,

Kodiak, AK 99615
Dear Mr. Cassidy,
RE: Economic Development Contract
The Kodiak Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors discussed concerns over the Economic
Development contract it has with the Kodiak Island Borough at its March 17th meeting. At this
time we are giving the Kodiak Island Borough, a one month notice of cancellation of contract, to
become effective April 30, 2014.
The Kodiak Chamber of Commerce feels that the work we have done towards Economic
Development over the past 20 years has benefited the community greatly. We have worked in
partnership with the Borough and City on numerous projects over the years including the
Launch Complex, Fiber Optic Cable, Shiplift Facility, etc.
The Chamber's mission is "to promote a strong and diverse economy for the Kodiak region" and
we will continue to fulfill that mission as our membership and Board of Directors sees fit.
We thank you for your many years of support. We intend to continue our role as a leader in
improving the economic growth of Kodiak and surrounding areas, and look forward to our
continued relationship for the betterment of Kodiak.
Sinc rely,
Darlene Williamson, President
Dedicated to Kodiak's Economic FUtUre

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 #9.C.
Ordinance No. FY2018-10 Reestablishing Boards, Committees, a...Page 61 of 135
7. Partnering with Kodiak College, Kodiak Island Borough School District, Kodiak Area Native
Association and Other Organizations. The Chamber is actively engaged with the Kodiak College
Advisory Council and attended its last meeting on October 3, 2013. The Chamber is participating in
the KIBSD Strategic Planning work, held over three evening sessions October 91h, 16th and 23rd. The
Chamber is also partnering closely with the Kodiak Area Native Association regarding each entity's
CEDS planning process and support for economic development in Kodiak's outlying communities.
8. Southwest Alaska Municipal Conference. Trevor Brown, the Executive Director of the Chamber, is
a board member of SWAMC and participates in their monthly board meetings via teleconference.
The Chamber continues to work with SWAMC on Economic Development issues in Southwest
Alaska and Kodiak. Recent efforts included submitting a resolution on the replacement of the M/V
Tustamena, the formation of a group of Industry leaders from the area to discuss economic issues,
and creating Regional Energy Plans through a partnership with the Alaska Energy Authority.
9. 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. Kodiak as Regional Transportation Hub. In Q1 the Chamber actively worked to raise awareness of
the negative impacts of limited AMHS ferry service throughout 2013, and advocate for replacement
of the M/V Tustamena as it continues to age and require more downtime for repairs. Additionally,
the Chamber continues to maintain strong relationships with Alaska Airlines and other
transportation modalities.
11. Economic Development of Kodiak Region Outlying Communities. The Chamber is actively
partnering with the Kodiak Area Native Association, Koniag, Inc., and the Kodiak Island Borough to
support economic development planning in Kodiak's outlying communities. The Chamber also
participated in open sessions of the Kodiak Rural Forum, held September 18 -20, 2013, which
included representation from all of Kodiak's outlying communities.
12. 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. At
the summit stakeholders will identify strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats to economic
development in Kodiak, as well as prioritize initiatives for further development.
13. Kodiak Housing Taskforce. The Chamber formed the Kodiak Housing Taskforce following its survey
in January, 2013, and meetings were held in March April 17th,
May 141h and September 23rd, 2013.
The Taskforce comprises community stakeholders with perspectives from the local and federal
government, private industry, Native corporations and community non - profits, and serves as a
forum to share information and dialogue related to Kodiak housing challenges.
14. 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.

from: Matthew D. Jamin ATTORNEY - CLIENT PRIVILEGE APPLIES
broposedre: amendment to KIBC 2.17.020
date: ;January 17, 2006
As requested we have reviewed the proposed change to Kodiak Island Borough
Code section 2,17,020. It is the intent of this amendment to permit members of the
assembly to participate by teleconference at meetings of the assembly. According to
AS 29.20.160 (f), the assembly is authorized to determine by ordinance its own rules of
procedure and order of business to the extent otherwise permitted by law.
1
As noted in the preamble to the proposed ordinance, general authority for the
proposed change is found in Alaska's Open Meetings Act ( "OMA "), AS 44.62.310.
Subsection (a) of AS 44.62.310 reads:
All meetings of a governmental body of a public entity of the state are
open to the public except as otherwise provided by this section or another
provision of law. Attendance and participation at meetings by members of
the public or by members of a governmental body may be by
teleconferencing. Agency materials that are to be considered at the
Meeting shall be made available at teleconference locations if practicable.
Except when voice votes are authorized, the vote shall be conducted in
such a manner that the public may know the vote of each person entitled
to vote. The vote at a meeting held by teleconference shall be taken b roll
call. This section does not apply to any votes required to be taken to
organize a governmental body described in this subsection. (Emphasis
edded.)
Subsection (e) of AS 44.62.310 is also relevant. It reads:
Reasonable public notice shall be given for all meetings required to be
open under this section. The notice must include the date, time, and place
of the meeting and if, the meeting is by teleconference, the location of an
teleconferencing facilities that will be used. Subject to posting notice of a
Meeting on the Alaska Online Public Notice System as required by AS
44.62.175 (a), the notice may be given using print or broadcast media. The
notice shall be posted at the principal office of the public entity or, if the

public entity has no principal office, at a place designated by the
governmental body. The governmental body shall provide notice in a
consistent fashion for all its meetings. (Emphasis added.)
The Alaska Supreme Court has interpreted AS 44.62.310 on several occasions.
In Hickel v. Southeast Conference' the actions of the Reapportionment Board were
challenged under the Open Meetings Act. The court noted:. "The Open Meetings Act
allows, but does not require, the use of teleconferencing 'for the convenience of the
parties, the public, and the governmental units conducting the meetings,' "
The court went on to state:
While teleconferencing is not mandatory, the Act requires certain
procedures if it is used. These Include making materials available at
tleconference locations, taking votes by roll call, and providing
reasonable public notice as to the time, date and location of the
teleconference location to be used.
Implicit In the Hickel decision is that voting members of the governmental unit
must attend at noticed teleconference sites. The court also approved the practice of
allowing members of the public to provide testimony by telephone without traveling to in
official i.e., noticed) teleconference site.
r Alaska Community Colleges' Federation of Teachers v. University of Alaska,
the cout reviewed the decision of the university's board of regents to merge two
colleges Into the University of Alaska, Juneau. The court noted that if "a public body
acts in of the OMA, its actions are void. " This means that it is very important
for the Iprough to fully comply with the OMA.
Iii Brookwood Area Homeowners Association v. Municipality of Anchorage, the
court considered the action of the Anchorage Municipal Assembly when it met privately

with a dsveloper to discuss an rezoning application. The trial court held that this was
not a "rreeting" under the OMA. The supreme court disagreed and noted that
a "meeting" includes every step of the deliberative and decision - making
process when a governmental unit meets to transact public business.'
Laving considered this authority, it is our opinion that the assembly may adopt an
ordinanqe which allows assembly members to participate via teleconference. However,
reasonable public notice of the date, time and place of the locations) from which the
assemb'y member(s) will be appearing telephonically must be given. Also, any of the
materials generally available to the public should be at the teleconference site. Note
that in theory, a member of the public could join the teleconferencing assembly member
and participate from the location of the call. One would not expect this to occur if an
assembly member was participating from Seattle because she was there on business.
But if ors or more assembly members went to one of the outlying Borough villages to
encourage participation by people there or otherwise, one would want to make sure that
provisior was made for people there to participate as well.
This suggests that participation by teleconference not be used as a "last minute"
device, ut only after notice of where and when the teleconference will occur.
Im our view, the various other options presented in the proposed ordinance are
policy issues for the assembly and do not have legal constraints. Please let us know if
you have additional questions or concems. Thank you for providing us this opportunity
to comment.

DISCUSSION:
Timber harvest and replanting efforts in the Chiniak Burn Area have been completed. The
area has been open to the public for firewood gathering since July 29 2017, but a significant
quantity of timber still remains on the parcel. Foresters estimate that wood not harvested
within 2-3 years of the fire event will become waterlogged and rot in place.
Originally Jere's Tree Service (JTS) approached KIB about the possibility of entering into this
contract. According to KIB code, timber takes in excess of 250,000 board feet required a
competitively let bidding process. KIB let an RFP in the last 3 weeks of August 2017. JTS
responded to the RFP for commercial wood gathering on the parcel. Under this proposed
contract, JTS may remove up to 2500 CY of chipped material in 2018-2020. They may also
harvest firewood for commercial sales.
ALTERNATIVES:
Take No Action.
FISCAL IMPACT:

A RESOLUTION OF THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH IDENTIFYING 9
FEDERAL PROGRAM PRIORITIES AND A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FOR 10
FEDERAL FISCAL YEAR 2018 11
12
WHEREAS, the Alaska Congressional Delegation has requested the views of the Kodiak 13
Island Borough on which federal programs should be considered priorities for rural Alaskan 14
communities and their residents.; and 15
16
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND 17
BOROUGH that the Kodiak Island Borough’s views and recommendations on priority federal 18
programs are as follows: 19
20
1. Groundfish Surveys: Groundfish Surveys in the Gulf of Alaska are funded through a 21
line item in NMFS’s budget called Fisheries Data Collections, Surveys and Assessments. The 22
President’s FY 2018 budget request recommends a 6 percent reduction in funding for this 23
account. This line item funds critical data collection, fish stock assessments and longstanding 24
fishery surveys nationally. For Alaska, the surveys include the Alaska crab fisheries; Gulf of 25
Alaska and Bering Sea pollock and groundfish, rockfish, halibut, and sablefish. The North 26
Pacific Fishery Management Council and NMFS rely upon these fishery surveys to determine 27
annual catch limits and monitor the health of these stocks. Last year, we faced the prospect of 28
NMFS considering a reduction in the number, the spatial extent and the consistency of the 29
winter and summer groundfish surveys occurring in the Gulf of Alaska. Over time, a reduction in 30
these surveys could have negatively affected Kodiak fishermen and processors through 31
cutbacks in annual groundfish quotas due to insufficient stock assessment data. The Kodiak 32
Island Borough recommends that the Alaska Delegation support the Fisheries Data Collections, 33
Surveys and Assessments line item at the Fiscal Year 2017 appropriated level of $164 million 34
and to maintain oversight of NMFS’s survey activity in the Gulf of Alaska to ensure continued 35
and regular winter and summer groundfish surveys. 36
37
2. Homeporting Coast Guard Vessels: The Kodiak Island Borough would like to 38
emphasize that Kodiak remains the ideal location for the deployment of National Response 39
Cutters and Offshore Patrol Cutters, and the clustering of Fast Response Cutters. Kodiak sits at 40
the crossroads of one of the largest fisheries in the world as well as some of the busiest 41
shipping lanes in U.S. waters. Kodiak offers unmatched geographic advantage for timely 42
mission response and deployment to the myriad of marine incidents in the Alaska area of 43
operation. The Borough recognizes that Kodiak Island also presents unique mission support 44
challenges such as a constraint on housing and mooring facilities. The Borough stands ready to 45
AGENDA ITEM #C.1.
Resolution No. FY2018-12 Identifying Federal Program Priorit...Page 87 of 135
Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska Resolution No. FY2018-12
Page 2 of 5
work with the Coast Guard in whatever way possible to keep this location ideal for capital asset 46
placement. Earlier this year, the Coast Guard provided Congress information on its latest 47
vessels acquisition and deployment plans in the region. It has assigned two Offshore Patrol 48
Cutters (360 ft.) to the Kodiak Coast Guard Base, with delivery expected to be in the 2022-23 49
timeframe. The agency intends to deploy and homeport six 154’ Fast Response Cutters (FRC) 50
in the Gulf of Alaska to be used for search & rescue, coastal patrol, drug interdiction, and fishery 51
enforcement, with the first two vessels already assigned. The Coast Guard has not yet made a 52
homeport decision on the remaining four FRCs, but a decision is likely by the end of this year. 53
The Kodiak Coast Guard Base is a candidate for homeporting two FRCs. We request that the 54
Delegation continue to actively monitor the Coast Guard’s planning process for future 55
deployment of new assets in the Arctic and promote Kodiak as a homeport for these new vessel 56
classes. 57
58
The Kodiak Island Borough stands ready to work with the Coast Guard in whatever way 59
possible to keep this location ideal for capital asset placement and to obtain federal impact aid 60
funding to support a greater Coast Guard presence in Kodiak. 61
62
3. Pink Salmon Disaster Assistance: The Borough strongly supports efforts by the 63
Alaska Delegation to secure Federal fishery disaster assistance due to the major decline in pink 64
salmon harvest and abundance last year. The Governor of Alaska has submitted a disaster 65
request to the Delegation and the Secretary of Commerce earlier this year formally declared a 66
fishery disaster in accordance with the procedures of the Magnusson-Stevens Fishery 67
Management And Conservation Act. Pink salmon are an important commercial species for 68
Kodiak fishermen and processors. A recent analysis by ADF&G shows that average ex-vessel 69
value annual landings were $16.8 million for the Kodiak Management Area in the five harvest 70
years prior to 2016, with a high of $28.8 million in 2012. In 2016, landings value dropped to 71
$3.2 million, an 81 percent decline and one of the largest decreases in the State. This request 72
affirms a separate resolution considered and passed by the Borough in February. 73
74
4. Payment-In-Lieu-of-Taxes (PILT): There are over 2.8 million acres removed by the 75
Federal Government from taxation within the boundaries of the Kodiak Island Borough. This is 76
land that would otherwise be available to the private sector to develop, creating jobs for the 77
residents of Kodiak and the rural Kodiak Island communities. This in turn would create tax 78
revenues for the Kodiak Island Borough. PILT was enacted by Congress to help offset the loss 79
of revenues to municipal entities caused by federal land withdrawals within local government 80
boundaries. The KIB uses these funds to provide basic social services, including medical 81
facilities, emergency fire and rescue services, roads, and schools. The President’s budget 82
request proposes a 12 percent cut in PILT funding for FY 2018. Kodiak Island Borough 83
opposes this reduction and supports full funding of PILT at its existing level of $465 million. 84
85
5. Refuge Revenue Sharing: The National Wildlife Refuge Fund is a critical source of 86
replacement revenue to communities like ours that have the presence of a large Federal wildlife 87
refuge within their boundaries. That presence removes substantial amounts of property from the 88
local property tax base. The share we receive from the Fund is based on a formula that partially 89
compensates us for our tax losses due to the existence of the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge. 90
AGENDA ITEM #C.1.
Resolution No. FY2018-12 Identifying Federal Program Priorit...Page 88 of 135
Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska Resolution No. FY2018-12
Page 3 of 5
The Refuge is over 1.9 million acres in size and therefore has permanently removed from 91
private ownership, development and taxation over half the property on the island. The 92
President’s FY 2018 budget request proposes to eliminate Federal appropriations for this 93
important program. The Kodiak Island Borough opposes this termination of funding and is 94
seeking the Alaska Delegation’s assistance in providing level funding for this coming fiscal year. 95
96
6. EPA’s Fishing Vessel Discharge Rule: EPA has promulgated two rules to require 97
commercial fishermen to obtain Clean Water Act incidental discharge permits as a condition for 98
operating both small and large fishing vessels. The permits would cover ballast water, fish hold 99
water, anchor chain mud, deck wash/runoff, bilge pump discharge, gray or “stick” water, 100
laundry, shower, and galley sink water. The permits require burdensome reporting, monitoring, 101
inspections and compliance activities – all subject to heavy fines and citizen lawsuits under the 102
Clean Water Act for what seems to be minimal environmental protection. The Congress has 103
imposed a three year moratorium preventing EPA from implementing the Small Vessel General 104
Permit Rule and the Vessel General Permit Rule. The moratorium is set to expire on December 105
19th later this year. Legislation is pending in the House and Senate that would make the 106
moratorium permanent. The Kodiak Island Borough is requesting that the Alaska Delegation 107
actively support a permanent moratorium. 108
109
7. Essential Air Service & Air Traffic Control Privatization: The President’s FY 2018 110
budget request recommends terminating appropriations for the Essential Air Service (EAS) 111
program. Like many rural communities in Alaska and elsewhere in the nation, providing air 112
service to Kodiak is expensive. EAS ensures that the Borough’s communities receive regular 113
air service. Without it, air carriers would either raise ticket prices above their already high levels 114
or discontinue service altogether. We thank the Delegation for its support of EAS over the years 115
and urge the restoration of EAS funding in the FY 2018 appropriations process. Secondly, we 116
understand that the House is again considering legislation to reauthorize the FAA that includes 117
formation of a privatized Air Traffic Control Services Corporation. As we noted in our 2016 118
Federal priorities resolution, privatization of air traffic control operations through the creation of a 119
new corporate entity would subject rural airport NAVAIDs, personnel, and safety equipment to a 120
business model, cost-benefit test which is unlikely to fare well compared to busier, more urban 121
or major hub airports. Furthermore, the new corporate entity has the flexibility to raise air carrier 122
and cargo user fees and could price rural air service providers out of the market which it might 123
choose to do if those airports are determined to be “not profitable.” The Borough urges the 124
Delegation to oppose these provisions and the legislation in its current form. 125
126
8. U.S. Navy Arctic Presence: The U.S. National Strategy for the Arctic has been 127
evolving. The current Arctic Roadmap adopted by the Chief of Naval Operations sets out four 128
strategic objectives: (1) Ensuring sovereignty of the United States’ Arctic region; (2) Providing 129
ready naval forces to respond to crises and contingencies; (3) Preserving freedom of 130
navigation; and (4) Promoting partnerships within the U.S. government and its international 131
allies and partners. The Kodiak Island Borough understands that the Department of the Navy 132
is currently conducting a study about whether the achievement of these objectives merits a 133
greater Naval presence in Alaska. The Borough Assembly believes achievement of the 134
National Strategy must include a larger Navy presence, including the establishment of Navy 135
AGENDA ITEM #C.1.
Resolution No. FY2018-12 Identifying Federal Program Priorit...Page 89 of 135
Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska Resolution No. FY2018-12
Page 4 of 5
ports-of-call in strategically located Alaskan coastal communities and possibly a full-time Navy 136
base. Kodiak is ideally situated to serve both as a port-of -call for logistics movements and 137
Rest-and-Recreation for deployed sailors. Additionally, the Coast Guard maintains a deep 138
water port at Womens Bay. There is sufficient land adjacent to the Coast Guard Base which 139
could be used for an expanded full-time Navy presence. The Assembly requests that the 140
Alaska Congressional Delegation keep Kodiak in mind during any discussion with the Defense 141
Department regarding the expansion of the Navy into Alaska. 142
143
9. Upper Hidden Basin Diversion Power Project -- The Upper Hidden Basin Diversion 144
project will connect an additional water source to Kodiak Electric Association’s existing Terror 145
Lake Hydroelectric Facility, which is Kodiak’s primary source of power. The new diversion 146
consists of two small diversion dams on two small upland streams. Surface water from the 147
diversion dam on the eastern stream would flow through a half-mile long underground pipe to 148
the diversion dam on the western stream. From there, surface water from both diversion dams 149
would flow by gravity through a 1.2 mile long tunnel under a mountain ridge to Terror Lake. The 150
project also includes a four mile long spur road off of an existing road to provide access for 151
constructing and maintaining the new diversion. Once the additional water from the Upper 152
Hidden Basin area reaches Terror Lake, additional power can be produced with existing 153
equipment already in operation at the Terror Lake Hydroelectric Project. No changes are 154
needed to the existing Terror Lake dam, penstock, powerhouse, or transmission line. No new 155
turbines or other equipment will be needed. The Upper Hidden Basin Diversion will simply 156
optimize this existing power generation infrastructure, resulting in a more enhanced and efficient 157
use of a local facility. 158
159
The Upper Hidden Basin Diversion Project will add 33 million additional kilowatt-hours of energy 160
to KEA’s isolated electric grid. Kodiak’s only other alternative to meeting Kodiak’s power needs 161
is with diesel oil. Diesel power costs over four times more than hydropower, is dependent on 162
fuel barge shipments from outside refineries, and is subject to strict oil storage and air quality 163
regulations. The supply of water from Upper Hidden Basin Diversion can generate the same 164
amount of power as 2.2 million gallons of diesel per year and avoid 540 tons of nitrogen oxide 165
and 25,500 tons of greenhouse gas pollution annually by displacing diesel for power, light, and 166
heat. Local hydropower is a clean, long-term fixed-cost asset that remains independent of fuel 167
supply, price volatility or pollution liabilities. Hydropower provides the lowest cost of power in 168
Kodiak and makes Kodiak energy independent and energy secure. 169
170
171
10. Anton Larsen Bay Road Extension -- An extension of the Anton Larsen Bay Road to 172
ice free waters will provide year around access to those communities located in the Kupreanof 173
Strait as well as those who use the island’s west side for commercial and recreational purposes. 174
Extending the road to ice free waters makes traveling safer, providing access to critical services 175
located in the City of Kodiak, including hospitals and businesses. The Ouznikie Native 176

9 A RESOLUTION OF THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH IDENTIFYING
10 FEDERAL PROGRAM PRIORITIES AND A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FOR
11 FEDERAL FISCAL YEAR 2018
12
13 WHEREAS, the Alaska Congressional Delegation has requested the views of the Kodiak
14 Island Borough on which federal programs should be considered priorities for rural Alaskan
15 communities and their residents.; and
16
17 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND
18 BOROUGH that the Kodiak Island Borough’s views and recommendations on priority federal
19 programs are as follows:
20
21 1.Groundfish Surveys: Groundfish Surveys in the Gulf of Alaska are funded through a
22 line item in NMFS’s budget called Fisheries Data Collections, Surveys and Assessments. The
23 President’s FY 2018 budget request recommends a 6 percent reduction in funding for this
24 account. This line item funds critical data collection, fish stock assessments and longstanding
25 fishery surveys nationally. For Alaska, the surveys include the Alaska crab fisheries; Gulf of
26 Alaska and Bering Sea pollock and groundfish, rockfish, halibut, and sablefish. The North
27 Pacific Fishery Management Council and NMFS rely upon these fishery surveys to determine
28 annual catch limits and monitor the health of these stocks. Last year, we faced the prospect of
29 NMFS considering a reduction in the number, the spatial extent and the consistency of the
30 winter and summer groundfish surveys occurring in the Gulf of Alaska. Over time, a reduction in
31 these surveys could have negatively affected Kodiak fishermen and processors through
32 cutbacks in annual groundfish quotas due to insufficient stock assessment data. The Kodiak
33 Island Borough recommends that the Alaska Delegation support the Fisheries Data Collections,
34 Surveys and Assessments line item at the Fiscal Year 2017 appropriated level of $164 million
35 and to maintain oversight of NMFS’s survey activity in the Gulf of Alaska to ensure continued
36 and regular winter and summer groundfish surveys.
37
38 2.Homeporting Coast Guard Vessels: The Kodiak Island Borough would like to
39 emphasize that Kodiak remains the ideal location for the deployment of National Response
40 Cutters and Offshore Patrol Cutters, and the clustering of Fast Response Cutters. Kodiak sits at
41 the crossroads of one of the largest fisheries in the world as well as some of the busiest
42 shipping lanes in U.S. waters. Kodiak offers unmatched geographic advantage for timely
43 mission response and deployment to the myriad of marine incidents in the Alaska area of
44 operation. The Borough recognizes that Kodiak Island also presents unique mission support
45 challenges such as a constraint on housing and mooring facilities. The Borough stands ready to
AGENDA ITEM #C.1.
Resolution No. FY2018-12 Identifying Federal Program Priorit...Page 93 of 135
Kodiak Island Borough, AlaskaResolution No. FY2018-12
Page 2 of 5
46 work with the Coast Guard in whatever way possible to keep this location ideal for capital asset
47 placement. Earlier this year, the Coast Guard provided Congress information on its latest
48 vessels acquisition and deployment plans in the region. It has assigned two Offshore Patrol
49 Cutters (360 ft.) to the Kodiak Coast Guard Base, with delivery expected to be in the 2022-23
50 timeframe. The agency intends to deploy and homeport six 154’ Fast Response Cutters (FRC)
51 in the Gulf of Alaska to be used for search & rescue, coastal patrol, drug interdiction, and fishery
52 enforcement, with the first two vessels already assigned. The Coast Guard has not yet made a
53 homeport decision on the remaining four FRCs, but a decision is likely by the end of this year.
54 The Kodiak Coast Guard Base is a candidate for homeporting two FRCs. We request that the
55 Delegation continue to actively monitor the Coast Guard’s planning process for future
56 deployment of new assets in the Arctic and promote Kodiak as a homeport for these new vessel
57 classes.
58
59 3.Pink Salmon Disaster Assistance: The Borough strongly supports efforts by the
60 Alaska Delegation to secure Federal fishery disaster assistance due to the major decline in pink
61 salmon harvest and abundance last year. The Governor of Alaska has submitted a disaster
62 request to the Delegation and the Secretary of Commerce earlier this year formally declared a
63 fishery disaster in accordance with the procedures of the Magnusson-Stevens Fishery
64 Management And Conservation Act. Pink salmon are an important commercial species for
65 Kodiak fishermen and processors. A recent analysis by ADF&G shows that average ex-vessel
66 value annual landings were $16.8 million for the Kodiak Management Area in the five harvest
67 years prior to 2016, with a high of $28.8 million in 2012. In 2016, landings value dropped to
68 $3.2 million, an 81 percent decline and one of the largest decreases in the State. This request
69 affirms a separate resolution considered and passed by the Borough in February.
70
71 4.Payment-In-Lieu-of-Taxes (PILT): There are over 2.8 million acres removed by the
72 Federal Government from taxation within the boundaries of the Kodiak Island Borough. This is
73 land that would otherwise be available to the private sector to develop, creating jobs for the
74 residents of Kodiak and the rural Kodiak Island communities. This in turn would create tax
75 revenues for the Kodiak Island Borough. PILT was enacted by Congress to help offset the loss
76 of revenues to municipal entities caused by federal land withdrawals within local government
77 boundaries. The KIB uses these funds to provide basic social services, including medical
78 facilities, emergency fire and rescue services, roads, and schools. The President’s budget
79 request proposes a 12 percent cut in PILT funding for FY 2018. Kodiak Island Borough
80 opposes this reduction and supports full funding of PILT at its existing level of $465 million.
81
82 5.Refuge Revenue Sharing: The National Wildlife Refuge Fund is a critical source of
83 replacement revenue to communities like ours that have the presence of a large Federal wildlife
84 refuge within their boundaries. That presence removes substantial amounts of property from the
85 local property tax base. The share we receive from the Fund is based on a formula that partially
86 compensates us for our tax losses due to the existence of the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge.
87 The Refuge is over 1.9 million acres in size and therefore has permanently removed from
88 private ownership, development and taxation over half the property on the island. The
89 President’s FY 2018 budget request proposes to eliminate Federal appropriations for this
AGENDA ITEM #C.1.
Resolution No. FY2018-12 Identifying Federal Program Priorit...Page 94 of 135
Kodiak Island Borough, AlaskaResolution No. FY2018-12
Page 3 of 5
90 important program. The Kodiak Island Borough opposes this termination of funding and is
91 seeking the Alaska Delegation’s assistance in providing level funding for this coming fiscal year.
92
93 6.EPA’s Fishing Vessel Discharge Rule: EPA has promulgated two rules to require
94 commercial fishermen to obtain Clean Water Act incidental discharge permits as a condition for
95 operating both small and large fishing vessels. The permits would cover ballast water, fish hold
96 water, anchor chain mud, deck wash/runoff, bilge pump discharge, gray or “stick” water,
97 laundry, shower, and galley sink water. The permits require burdensome reporting, monitoring,
98 inspections and compliance activities – all subject to heavy fines and citizen lawsuits under the
99 Clean Water Act for what seems to be minimal environmental protection. The Congress has
100 imposed a three year moratorium preventing EPA from implementing the Small Vessel General
101 Permit Rule and the Vessel General Permit Rule. The moratorium is set to expire on December
102 19th later this year. Legislation is pending in the House and Senate that would make the
103 moratorium permanent. The Kodiak Island Borough is requesting that the Alaska Delegation
104 actively support a permanent moratorium.
105
106 7.Essential Air Service & Air Traffic Control Privatization – The President’s FY 2018
107 budget request recommends terminating appropriations for the Essential Air Service (EAS)
108 program. Like many rural communities in Alaska and elsewhere in the nation, providing air
109 service to Kodiak is expensive. EAS ensures that the Borough’s communities receive regular
110 air service. Without it, air carriers would either raise ticket prices above their already high levels
111 or discontinue service altogether. We thank the Delegation for its support of EAS over the years
112 and urge the restoration of EAS funding in the FY 2018 appropriations process. Secondly, we
113 understand that the House is again considering legislation to reauthorize the FAA that includes
114 formation of a privatized Air Traffic Control Services Corporation. As we noted in our 2016
115 Federal priorities resolution, privatization of air traffic control operations through the creation of a
116 new corporate entity would subject rural airport NAVAIDs, personnel, and safety equipment to a
117 business model, cost-benefit test which is unlikely to fare well compared to busier, more urban
118 or major hub airports. Furthermore, the new corporate entity has the flexibility to raise air carrier
119 and cargo user fees and could price rural air service providers out of the market which it might
120 choose to do if those airports are determined to be “not profitable.” The Borough urges the
121 Delegation to oppose these provisions and the legislation in its current form.
122
123 8. Upper Hidden Basin Diversion Power Project -- The Upper Hidden Basin Diversion
124 project will connect an additional water source to Kodiak Electric Association’s existing Terror
125 Lake Hydroelectric Facility, which is Kodiak’s primary source of power. The new diversion
126 consists of two small diversion dams on two small upland streams. Surface water from the
127 diversion dam on the eastern stream would flow through a half-mile long underground pipe to
128 the diversion dam on the western stream. From there, surface water from both diversion dams
129 would flow by gravity through a 1.2 mile long tunnel under a mountain ridge to Terror Lake. The
130 project also includes a four mile long spur road off of an existing road to provide access for
131 constructing and maintaining the new diversion. Once the additional water from the Upper
132 Hidden Basin area reaches Terror Lake, additional power can be produced with existing
133 equipment already in operation at the Terror Lake Hydroelectric Project. No changes are
134 needed to the existing Terror Lake dam, penstock, powerhouse, or transmission line. No new
AGENDA ITEM #C.1.

135 turbines or other equipment will be needed. The Upper Hidden Basin Diversion will simply
136 optimize this existing power generation infrastructure, resulting in a more enhanced and efficient
137 use of a local facility.
138
139 The Upper Hidden Basin Diversion Project will add 33 million additional kilowatt-hours of energy
140 to KEA’s isolated electric grid. Kodiak’s only other alternative to meeting Kodiak’s power needs
141 is with diesel oil. Diesel power costs over four times more than hydropower, is dependent on
142 fuel barge shipments from outside refineries, and is subject to strict oil storage and air quality
143 regulations. The supply of water from Upper Hidden Basin Diversion can generate the same
144 amount of power as 2.2 million gallons of diesel per year and avoid 540 tons of nitrogen oxide
145 and 25,500 tons of greenhouse gas pollution annually by displacing diesel for power, light, and
146 heat. Local hydropower is a clean, long-term fixed-cost asset that remains independent of fuel
147 supply, price volatility or pollution liabilities. Hydropower provides the lowest cost of power in
148 Kodiak and makes Kodiak energy independent and energy secure.
149
150
151 Anton Larsen Bay Road Extension -- An extension of the Anton Larsen Bay Road to ice free
152 waters will provide year around access to those communities located in the Kupreanof Strait as
153 well as those who use the island’s west side for commercial and recreational purposes.
154 Extending the road to ice free waters makes traveling safer, providing access to critical services
155 located in the City of Kodiak, including hospitals and businesses. The Ouznikie Native
156 Corporation has agreed through its subsidiary, the Spruce Island Development Corporation, to
157 provide $450,000 toward the project and to donate land to the State for the road’s right of way.
158 The Sun’aq Tribe of Kodiak is separately seeking Federal funding to contribute to the project.
159 Total project cost is $8 million. We understand at some point in this Congress, there will be
160 consideration of an infrastructure investment package. We are submitting this request should
161 there be inclusion of specific projects in the legislation and for the Delegation to highlight the
162 need for adequate funding in the package for rural infrastructure needs.

To:Meagan Christiansen
Subject:RE: Karluk Lake Enrichment Project
Hi Meagan,
My apologies on the delayed response. I’ve provided some periodic updates to the Joint Fisheries Workgroup over the
last couple of years, but not specifically to the Assembly. The pursuit of an Enrichment program for Karluk Lake was
effectively halted with the USFWS/KNWR decision of “no action” with regard to the EA produced for Karluk Lake
Enrichment. The EA process produced a “finding of no significant impact” for enrichment, which speaks to the fact that
the enrichment process would not have negative impacts; however, the choice of no action by the USFWS left KRAA
without 1 significant document in the pursuit of the conclusion of this chapter: a compatibility determination.
For each authorized activity on the Refuge, there typically exists a document called a Compatibility Determination. A
decision of no action meant that the Refuge was not required to produce this document. The lack of a document stating
that lake enrichment either is or is not compatible with the purposes of the Refuge leaves the process essentially
incomplete from KRAA’s standpoint. It means that should there be an need for Lake enrichment in the future, KRAA
would be required to repeat the EA process in full rather than reference a compatibility document and apply for a
permit. Senator Murkowski has been pursuing means to encourage the Refuge to produce a Compatibility
Determination in despite the fact that no permit was issued for Lake Enrichment through the EA process. As you may
know, the City‐Borough lobbyist, Brad Gilman, has periodically discussed the issue of lack of compatibility determination
with the Senator. He has then provided updates to Kodiak Officials and has included KRAA.
When last there was discussion of the potential for a Compatibility Determination for Lake Enrichment, Mr. Gilman
indicated the Senator intended to include language in an appropriations bill which would require one be
produced. When I reviewed that bill, I didn’t not find that language. I suspect it was cut as other Senators had the
opportunity to review and bargain for interests in their own areas.
That is the long answer to your question. In short, KRAA is not actively pursuing an active enrichment program at this
time. We continue to monitor the health of sockeye salmon nursery systems throughout the Kodiak Archipelago—both
on and off the Refuge. Should there be an indication that a system is on the verge of collapse, KRAA’s hands are still
tied. Given the delays and difficulties experienced in the last EA process as well as the lack of a Compatibility
Determination, it is unlikely we would be able to pursue Enrichment should the need, at Karluk or elsewhere, present
itself once again.
Thanks for your inquiry. I hope this information will be helpful to the discussions of the Assembly.

BOROUGH THAT: 27
28
Section 1: The Kodiak Island Borough’s State Legislative capital improvement project 29
priorities for the 2018 legislative session are as follows: 30
31
32
1. Safe Pedestrian Access to Kodiak Schools 33
Estimated Project Cost $1,300,000 34
State Funding Request $1,300,000 35
36
Poor visibility of crosswalks in school zones is a safety hazard! Local weather and traffic 37
degrade the paint on crosswalks; and pedestrians waiting to cross are often difficult to see 38
due to the long season of dark days, inclement weather, and busy traffic at popular 39
intersections. 40
41
Rezanof Drive is a state owned roadway and is the main road through the City of Kodiak. 42
Pedestrians needing to cross this road to access schools that include Kodiak Middle School, 43
Main Elementary School, East Elementary School and Kodiak College must wait for a break 44
in traffic or for motorists to notice their intent to cross and stop to allow the crossing. The 45

Resolution No. FY2018-16 Adopting A State Legislative Capita...Page 99 of 135
Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska Resolution No. FY2018-16
Page 2 of 4
Kodiak Island Borough is requesting funding for AKDOT to purchase and install lighted 46
automated crosswalks at intersections of Rezanof Drive and Powell Street, and Rezanof 47
Drive and Benny Benson Street to increase pedestrian safety near schools located along 48
Rezanof Drive. 49
50
2. Safe Pathways to North Star Elementary School 51
Estimated Project Cost $1,500,000 52
State Funding Request $1,500,000 53
54
Northstar Elementary School is located on a hill amongst several residential neighborhoods. 55
Many roads connecting the neighborhoods around the school are narrow, steep, and 56
winding dirt roads without sidewalks or separated pathways to keep pedestrians safe from 57
vehicular traffic. The Kodiak Safe Routes to Schools Plan (2013) describes a need for 58
separated pathways or trails to connect the residential neighborhoods to the school. This 59
project would provide separated gravel pedestrian pathways along Lily Drive and Anton 60
Way. 61
62
3. East Elementary Traffic Flow Improvements 63
Estimated Project Cost $2,000,000 64
State Funding Request $2,000,000 65
66
There is a safety issue in the East Elementary School parking lot. The school was 67
constructed in 1966 with a substantial addition in 1988. The facility now totals 39,842 square 68
feet with twenty-five teaching stations. Since the expansion, increased traffic flows have 69
created dangerous vehicle/student hazards when students are entering and leaving school. 70
Reconfiguration of the parking area will reduce risks by providing for a safer separation of 71
pedestrians, small vehicle traffic and bus loading/unloading. The project will require an 72
increase in the total area of the parking lot by expanding into neighboring Borough-owned 73
land to allow adequate parking to support increased building usage and occupant load. 74
75
4. Drainage Improvements to the Chiniak Highway at Sargent Creek 76
Estimated Project Cost $150,000 77
State Funding Request $150,000 78
79
Heavy rains along with high tides consistently cause Sargent Creek to flood and diverge 80
from its channel. This causes flooding at the intersection of the Chiniak Highway and 81
Sargent Creek Road. Recent heavy rain events have necessitated intermittent closure of 82
the intersection due to water on the roadway deep enough to disable vehicle engines. This 83
intersection is the only roadway in and out of Bells Flats subdivision. The flooding occurring 84
here impedes safe travel and often leaves motorists stranded and unable to reach homes or 85
critical services located in town. 86
87
This request is to provide the DOT in Kodiak funding to construct spot improvements for 88
bank stabilization, armoring, and rechanneling as needed to keep the Sargent Creek in its 89
channel and stop the flooding of the roadway. 90
91
5. City of Akhiok Power Transmission Line Replacement 92
Estimated Project Cost $65,000 93

State funding request: $65,000 94
95
The school in the community of Akhiok is not only the education center but also the hub of 96
this small community. The main power distribution line from the school’s transformer to the 97
City of Akhiok’s main power grid has failed. This distribution line is a 750 foot run of 1/0 98
direct buried concentric exposed neutral line from the main grid to the transformer. The line 99
has been temporarily repaired but could fail again in another area at any time due to its age 100
and condition. The City has received rough estimated prices for replacement of the line to 101
be $50,000 to $60,000, not including transportation, lodging, or equipment rental for the 102
repair crew to the village. When this transmission line fails again the school will be forced to 103
supply power through their onsite stand-by generators. If the School is required to do this 104
they will have to use the only fuel they have for heating to run the generators full time. If 105
they were to have to do this in the winter they would need to fly fuel into the village at a cost 106
of over $8 a gallon. 107
108
The Kodiak Island Borough is requesting funding assistance to the City of Akhiok to replace 109
the power transmission line to the school in order to continue essential power service at a 110
reasonable price to the community. 111
112
6. Monashka Bay Water and Sewer Project Phase I: Feasibility & Assessment Survey 113
Estimated Project Cost $500,000 114
State Funding Request $500,000 115
116
There are 256 residential parcels that lie outside the reach of the existing sanitary sewer 117
and public water utilities in the Monashka Bay area. The soil and topography in this area 118
are not ideal for septic systems and many are failing. The construction of a wastewater 119
treatment facility at the Kodiak landfill provides an option for future expansion that could 120
include sanitary sewer treatment for the residents of this area. Water in this neighborhood is 121
provided by wells, cisterns and frequently by tank from a distant public source. Water quality 122
and quantity are questionable in the Monashka Bay neighborhood. Extension of water 123
service from the City of Kodiak will be needed. A feasibility study, planning and design is the 124
first step in providing water and sewer services to the residents of the Monashka Bay area. 125
126
7. Service Area Road Improvements and Paving 127
Estimated Project Cost $7,500,000 128
State Funding Request $7,500,000 129
130
This project addresses the on-going need to improve portions of Borough Service Area 131
roads. There are approximately 26 miles of road among four Road Service Areas that 132
connect residential neighborhoods with the greater Kodiak community. Paving projects will 133
address main thoroughfares or busy neighborhood roads. Improvements to major drainage 134
courses, installation of guard rails, and other identified road improvement needs may also 135
be addressed with this funding. Local contributions to road improvements may be funded 136
through local improvement districts where those in the district are taxed a proportion of the 137
project cost. Priorities will be given based on recommendations made by the elected service 138
area boards. 139
140
Current priorities include milling and repaving Bells Flats Road, and raising the entrance to 141
Sargent Creek Road along with installing a discharge culvert to avoid problematic flooding at 142
the intersection of this road with the Chiniak Highway in the Womens Bay Road Service 143
Area. Priorities in (Road) Service Area No. 1 include replacement of corroding corrugated 144
metal culverts along Puffin Way and Sean Circle with high density polyethylene culverts; 145

An extension of the Anton Larsen Bay Road to ice free waters will provide year around 154
access to communities located in the Kupreanof Strait as well as those who use the island’s 155
west side for commercial and recreational purposes. Many times during the year travel by 156
vessel to and from Kodiak is treacherous. Extending the road to ice free waters makes 157
traveling safer, and provides safer access to critical services located in the City of Kodiak 158
including hospitals and businesses. This route was identified in the Kodiak Transportation 159
Plan as an important upland facility. 160
161
The Ouzinkie Native Corporation subsidiary, Spruce Island Development Corporation 162
(SIDCO) received a $450,000 legislative grant for planning and design to construct two 163
miles of gravel road extending the Anton Larsen Road and to construct a parking area and 164
boat launch ramp at the road’s termination, a beach near Crag Point. 165
166
Funding is requested to the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities for 167
construction of this road as it is an extension of an existing state roadway. The land owner, 168
Ouzinkie Native Corporation, has agreed to donate ownership of the road right-of-way to the 169
State when construction funding is obtained. 170

ASSEMBLY REGULAR MEETING
Kodiak Island Borough
SUBJECT: Resolution No. FY2018-16 Adopting A State Legislative Capital Improvement
Projects Priority List For The 2018 Legislative Session.
ORIGINATOR: Meagan Christiansen
RECOMMENDATION:
Move to adopt Resolution No. FY2018-16.
DISCUSSION:
The Assembly annually adopts a resolution advocating for the state's support of the borough's
capital improvement projects.
In accordance with KIBC (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 1st 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 as well as staff 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.

A RESOLUTION OF THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH ADOPTING A 9
STATE LEGISLATIVE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS PRIORITY LIST FOR THE 10
2018 LEGISLATIVE SESSION 11
12
WHEREAS, the Kodiak Island Borough represents approximately 14,000 residents of the 13
Kodiak Island Archipelago living in six incorporated cities and one community governed by a 14
tribal council government; and 15
16
WHEREAS, a Borough–wide capital improvement program has been adopted by the Kodiak 17
Island Borough Planning & Zoning Commission which identifies major needs of the island 18
community for the next five years; and 19
20
WHEREAS, the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly has reviewed the borough-wide capital 21
improvement program adopted by the Planning & Zoning Commission and identified major 22
projects to submit to the Alaska Governor and State Legislative Delegation for funding 23
consideration; and 24
25
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND 26
BOROUGH THAT: 27
28
Section 1: The Kodiak Island Borough’s State Legislative capital improvement project 29
priorities for the 2018 legislative session are as follows: 30
31
32
1. Safe Pedestrian Access to Kodiak Schools 33
Estimated Project Cost $1,300,000 34
State Funding Request $1,300,000 35
36
Poor visibility of crosswalks in school zones is a safety hazard! Local weather and traffic 37
degrade the paint on crosswalks; and pedestrians waiting to cross are often difficult to see 38
due to the long season of dark days, inclement weather, and busy traffic at popular 39
intersections. 40
41
Rezanof Drive is a state owned roadway and is the main road through the City of Kodiak. 42
Pedestrians needing to cross this road to access schools that include Kodiak Middle School, 43
Main Elementary School, East Elementary School and Kodiak College must wait for a break 44
in traffic or for motorists to notice their intent to cross and stop to allow the crossing. The 45

Resolution No. FY2018-16 Adopting A State Legislative Capita...Page 104 of 135
Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska Resolution No. FY2018-16
Page 2 of 4
Kodiak Island Borough is requesting funding for AKDOT to purchase and install lighted 46
automated crosswalks at intersections of Rezanof Drive and Powell Street, and Rezanof 47
Drive and Benny Benson Street to increase pedestrian safety near schools located along 48
Rezanof Drive. 49
50
2. Safe Pathways to North Star Elementary School 51
Estimated Project Cost $1,500,000 52
State Funding Request $1,500,000 53
54
Northstar Elementary School is located on a hill amongst several residential neighborhoods. 55
Many roads connecting the neighborhoods around the school are narrow, steep, and 56
winding dirt roads without sidewalks or separated pathways to keep pedestrians safe from 57
vehicular traffic. The Kodiak Safe Routes to Schools Plan (2013) describes a need for 58
separated pathways or trails to connect the residential neighborhoods to the school. 59
60
3. East Elementary Traffic Flow Improvements 61
Estimated Project Cost $2,000,000 62
State Funding Request $2,000,000 63
64
There is a safety issue in the East Elementary School parking lot. The school was 65
constructed in 1966 with a substantial addition in 1988. The facility now totals 39,842 square 66
feet with twenty-five teaching stations. Since the expansion, increased traffic flows have 67
created dangerous vehicle/student hazards when students are entering and leaving school. 68
Reconfiguration of the parking area will reduce risks by providing for a safer separation of 69
pedestrians, small vehicle traffic and bus loading/unloading. The project will require an 70
increase in the total area of the parking lot to allow adequate parking to support increased 71
building usage and occupant load. 72
73
4. Drainage Improvements to the Chiniak Highway at Sargent Creek 74
Estimated Project Cost $54,000 75
State Funding Request $54,000 76
77
Heavy rains along with high tides consistently cause Sargent Creek to flood and diverge 78
from its channel. This causes flooding at the intersection of the Chiniak Highway and 79
Sargent Creek Road. Recent heavy rain events have necessitated intermittent closure of 80
the intersection due to water on the roadway deep enough to disable vehicle engines. This 81
intersection is the only roadway in and out of Bells Flats subdivision. The flooding occurring 82
here impedes safe travel and often leaves motorists stranded and unable to reach homes or 83
critical services located in town. 84
85
This request is to provide the DOT in Kodiak funding to construct spot improvements for 86
bank stabilization, armoring, and rechanneling as needed to keep the Sargent Creek in its 87
channel and stop the flooding of the roadway. 88
89
5. Anton Larsen Bay Road Extension to Ice Free Water 90
Estimated Project Cost $8,450,000 91
Funding Acquired 450,000 92
State Funding Request $8,000,000 93

An extension of the Anton Larsen Bay Road to ice free waters will provide year around 95
access to communities located in the Kupreanof Strait as well as those who use the island’s 96
west side for commercial and recreational purposes. Many times during the year travel by 97
vessel to and from Kodiak is treacherous. Extending the road to ice free waters makes 98
traveling safer, and provides safer access to critical services located in the City of Kodiak 99
including hospitals and businesses. This route was identified in the Kodiak Transportation 100
Plan as an important upland facility. 101
102
The Ouzinkie Native Corporation subsidiary, Spruce Island Development Corporation 103
(SIDCO) received a $450,000 legislative grant for planning and design to construct two 104
miles of gravel road extending the Anton Larsen Road and to construct a parking area and 105
boat launch ramp at the road’s termination, a beach near Crag Point. 106
107
Funding is requested to the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities for 108
construction of this road as it is an extension of an existing state roadway. The land owner, 109
Ouzinkie Native Corporation, has agreed to donate ownership of the road right-of-way to the 110
State when construction funding is obtained. 111
112
113
6. Monashka Bay Water and Sewer Project: Feasibility, Planning and Design 114
Estimated Project Cost $500,000 115
State Funding Request $500,000 116
117
There are 256 residential parcels that lie outside the reach of the existing sanitary sewer 118
and public water utilities in the Monashka Bay area. The soil and topography in this area 119
are not ideal for septic systems and many are failing. The construction of a wastewater 120
treatment facility at the Kodiak landfill provides an option for future expansion that could 121
include sanitary sewer treatment for the residents of this area. Water in this neighborhood is 122
provided by wells, cisterns and frequently by tank from a distant public source. Water quality 123
and quantity are questionable in the Monashka Bay neighborhood. Extension of water 124
service from the City of Kodiak will be needed. A feasibility study, planning and design is the 125
first step in providing water and sewer services to the residents of the Monashka Bay area. 126
127
7. Traffic Safety Lighting between Kodiak City Limits and Benny Benson State Airport 128
Estimated Project Cost $5,500,000 129
State funding request: $5,500,000 130
131
This request is to provide funding to the Department of Transportation for planning and 132
design, and development of a plan of prioritized phased construction for the installation of 133
street lighting along Rezanof Drive between the City of Kodiak and the Benny Benson State 134
Airport. This section of roadway is approximately five miles of dark two lane road with an 135
average speed limit of 45 miles per hour. It is a heavily travelled stretch of road used by 136
those going to and from the state airport, working on the United States Coast Guard Base 137
and commuting between outlying communities and the City of Kodiak. 138

ASSEMBLY REGULAR MEETING
Kodiak Island Borough
SUBJECT: Resolution No. FY2018-15 Authorizing the Kodiak Island Borough Bayside Fire
Department To Submit An Application To The Assistance To Firefighters Grant
Program.
ORIGINATOR: Meagan Christiansen
RECOMMENDATION:
Move to adopt Resolution No. FY2018-15
DISCUSSION:
Chief Rue would like to submit an application to the Assistance to Firefighters Grant program
to purchase installation of an exhaust ventilation system in the Bayside Fire Station. An
application was submitted a year ago but this project was not awarded funding. Chief Rue
would like to apply again after receiving feedback about how the application could be made
stronger.
ALTERNATIVES:
FISCAL IMPACT:
Purchase and installation of the exhaust ventilation system is estimated to be approximately
$100,000. A 5% match of funds is required, however Bayside is proposing a 10% match
because shipping to Kodiak escalates the price to higher than the average in the lower 48 and
we would like to improve the chances of being awarded. There is fund balance available in
the Fire Protection Area No. 1 budget to provide the match.

AUTHORIZING THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH BAYSIDE FIRE 11
DEPARTMENT TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION TO THE ASSISTANCE 12
TO FIREFIGHTERS GRANT PROGRAM 13
14
WHEREAS, the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) is a competitive funding opportunity 15
through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management (FEMA); 16
and 17
18
WHEREAS, the purpose of the AFG program is to “enhance the safety of the public and 19
firefighters with respect to fire and fire-related hazards by providing direct financial assistance to 20
eligible fire departments, nonaffiliated EMS organizations, and State Fire Training Academies 21
(SFTA) for critically needed resources to equip and train emergency personnel to recognized 22
standards, enhance operational efficiencies, foster interoperability, and support community 23
resilience;“ and 24
25
WHEREAS, the Bayside Fire Chief has identified the fire station’s need of an Exhaust 26
Extraction System which qualifies for application to the AFG program; and 27
28
WHEREAS, the estimated cost of purchasing, shipping and installing an Exhaust Extraction 29
System at the Bayside Fire Station is estimated to be $99,895; and 30
31
WHEREAS, the grant program match requirement for a community with a population less 32
than 20,000 is five percent which is $4,995; however it has been determined that the price, 33
including shipping to Kodiak, is higher than average so a 10% match in the amount of $9,990 34
may make a more favorable application, and the Fire Protection Area No. 1 fund includes fund 35
balance that is sufficient to contribute a 10% match. 36
37
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND 38
BOROUGH that the Kodiak Island Borough Bayside Fire Department is authorized to submit an 39
application to the Assistance to Firefighters Grant program for assistance in purchasing, 40
shipping and installing an Exhause Extraction System in the Bayside Fire Station. 41

Can you forward this email out to the assembly. This was a response to a question from Bill Roberts
to Glenn after our last meeting.
Thanks
Dan
From: Glenn Gellert [mailto:glenn.gellert@gmail.com]
Sent: Friday, October 27, 2017 11:42 AM
To: Bill Roberts <broberts@kodiakak.us>
Subject: Re: Sharatin LIHTC Property
Hi Bill,
"Low Income" versus "Affordable" is really more of an issue of semantics. The LIHTC program was
founded in the 1980's when this distinction was not as important to neighborhood groups. In fact
there is some current legislation that is being proposed in Congress now that would change the
name of the program so that "low income" would be removed from the title because of its negative
connotations.
In the case of Spruce Cape Homes, 20% of the units could be rented to anyone, even a millionaire.
Then the balance of the units would be rented to those making 60% or less of median income.
Median income for a family of 4 in Kodiak is $82,300 so tenants making $50,000 or less per year
could qualify to live in these units. 75% of Kodiak workers make less than $50,000 per year so we
feel like our housing is targeting a large number of workers in the retail sector, fishing, construction,
and even teaching that are struggling to find housing that they can afford at these wage levels.
We do have 3 units (10% of the total) that are set aside for tenants making 30% of median income.
These units, by any definition, are designed for low income tenants. We anticipate that these low
income tenants will mainly be senior citizens on fixed incomes. Spruce Cape Homes will have 11 fully
equipped ADA units.
Please let me know if I can provide any additional information.
Thanks for your help last night as well as on the property assessment issue.
Glenn

Dear Mr. Delfino,
On behalf of the Kodiak Island Borough (KIB) Assembly and as the Kodiak Island
Borough Mayor, I am writing this letter of support for the Low Income Housing Tax
Credit housing application being submitted to Alaska Housing Finance Corp. by Swell,
LLC.
It is my understanding that you are building 30 units of one, two, and three bedroom
townhouse style rental units at 3382 Sharatin Road. 24 of these units will be rented to
Kodiak residents making 60% or less of median income and some of the units will be
set aside for those with a disability and those that are homeless.
Kodiak is in need of affordable housing. For low income families and families with a
household member having a disability, adding additional affordable housing stock in
Kodiak could mean the difference between families remaining housed versus families
becoming homeless.
The KIB strongly support Swell’s efforts to provide suitable and much needed housing
here in Kodiak.
Sincerely,
KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH

Dear Mayor Rohrer,
As you may have heard, Swell, LLC is proposing to build 30 units of affordable housing for families at
3382 Sharatin Road. We plan to construct 10 one bedroom units, 8 two bedroom units, and 12 three
bedroom units. 80% of these units will be rented to tenants making 60% or less of median income. The
remaining units will be available to anyone. The affordable one bedroom rents will be $285 to $749 per
month, the two bedroom rents will be $734 to $919 per month, and the three bedroom affordable rents
will be $865 to $1,079 per month. The landlord will pay for heat and the tenants will be responsible for
paying for water/sewer and electricity for lights and electrical appliances. A solar PV and solar thermal
system will be incorporated in the design to help reduce energy costs. These alternative energy systems
will also help support a heating system that will be based on an air to water heat exchanger.
To develop this new family housing we plan to use 9% tax credits, a loan from Alaska Housing Finance
Corporation (AHFC), and a Rasmuson Foundation grant. We will be submitting a Low Income Housing
Tax Credit (LIHTC) application for this project on November 17th, 2017, and AHFC has asked us to provide
the attached notification to you. If we are successful in winning a LIHTC award, we will break ground in
late spring of next year and complete construction and lease up in the fall of 2019.
Thank you for supporting our collective efforts to respond to the increasing demand for more affordable
housing in Kodiak.
Please acknowledge your receipt of this notification.
Sincerely,
Glenn Gellert
Member Representative

A RESOLUTION OF THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH IDENTIFYING
FEDERAL PROGRAM PRIORITIES AND A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FOR
FEDERAL FISCAL YEAR 2018
WHEREAS, the Alaska Congressional Delegation has requested the views of the Kodiak
Island Borough on which federal programs should be considered priorities for rural Alaskan
communities and their residents.; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND
BOROUGH that the Kodiak Island Borough's views and recommendations on priority federal
programs are as follows:
1. Groundfish Surveys: Groundfish Surveys in the Gulf of Alaska are funded through a
line item in NMFS's budget called Fisheries Data Collections, Surveys and Assessments. The
President's FY 2018 budget request recommends a 6 percent reduction in funding for this
account. This line item funds critical data collection, fish stock assessments and longstanding
fishery surveys nationally. For Alaska, the surveys include the Alaska crab fisheries; Gulf of
Alaska and Bering Sea pollock and groundfish, rockfish, halibut, and sablefish. The North
Pacific Fishery Management Council and NMFS rely upon these fishery surveys to determine
annual catch limits and monitor the health of these stocks. Last year, we faced the prospect of
NMFS considering a reduction in the number, the spatial extent and the consistency of the
winter and summer groundfish surveys occurring in the Gulf of Alaska. Over time, a reduction in
these surveys could have negatively affected Kodiak fishermen and processors through
cutbacks in annual groundfish quotas due to insufficient stock assessment data. The Kodiak
Island Borough recommends that the Alaska Delegation support the Fisheries Data Collections,
Surveys and Assessments line item at the Fiscal Year 2017 appropriated level of $164 million
and to maintain oversight of NMFS's survey activity in the Gulf of Alaska to ensure continued
and regular winter and summer groundfish surveys.
2. Homeporting Coast Guard Vessels: The Kodiak Island Borough would like to
emphasize that Kodiak remains the ideal location for the deployment of National Response
Cutters and Offshore Patrol Cutters, and the clustering of Fast Response Cutters. Kodiak sits at
the crossroads of one of the largest fisheries in the world as well as some of the busiest
shipping lanes in U.S. waters. Kodiak offers unmatched geographic advantage for timely
mission response and deployment to the myriad of marine incidents in the Alaska area of
operation. The Borough recognizes that Kodiak Island also presents unique mission support
challenges such as a constraint on housing and mooring facilities. The Borough stands ready to

work with the Coast Guard in whatever way possible to keep this location ideal for capital asset
placement. Earlier this year, the Coast Guard provided Congress information on its latest
vessels acquisition and deployment plans in the region. It has assigned two Offshore Patrol
Cutters (360 ft.) to the Kodiak Coast Guard Base, with delivery expected to be in the 2022-23
timeframe. The agency intends to deploy and homeport six 154' Fast Response Cutters (FRC)
in the Gulf of Alaska to be used for search & rescue, coastal patrol, drug interdiction, and fishery
enforcement, with the first two vessels already assigned. The Coast Guard has not yet made a
homeport decision on the remaining four FRCs, but a decision is likely by the end of this year.
The Kodiak Coast Guard Base is a candidate for homeporting two FRCS. We request that the
Delegation continue to actively monitor the Coast Guard's planning process for future
deployment of new assets in the Arctic and promote Kodiak as a homeport for these new vessel
classes.
The Kodiak Island Borough stands ready to work with the Coast Guard in whatever way
possible to keep this location ideal for capital asset placement and to obtain federal impact aid
funding to support a greater Coast Guard presence in Kodiak.
3. Pink Salmon Disaster Assistance: The Borough strongly supports efforts by the
Alaska Delegation to secure Federal fishery disaster assistance due to the major decline in pink
salmon harvest and abundance last year. The Governor of Alaska has submitted a disaster
request to the Delegation and the Secretary of Commerce earlier this year formally declared a
fishery disaster in accordance with the procedures of the Magnusson -Stevens Fishery
Management And Conservation Act. Pink salmon are an important commercial species for
Kodiak fishermen and processors. A recent analysis by ADF&G shows that average ex -vessel
value annual landings were $16.8 million for the Kodiak Management Area in the five harvest
years prior to 2016, with a high of $28.8 million in 2012. In 2016, landings value dropped to
$3.2 million, an 81 percent decline and one of the largest decreases in the State. This request
affirms a separate resolution considered and passed by the Borough in February.
4. Payment -In -Lieu -of -Taxes (PILT): There are over 2.8 million acres removed by the
Federal Government from taxation within the boundaries of the Kodiak Island Borough. This is
land that would otherwise be available to the private sector to develop, creating jobs for the
residents of Kodiak and the rural Kodiak Island communities. This in turn would create tax
revenues for the Kodiak Island Borough. PILT was enacted by Congress to help offset the loss
of revenues to municipal entities caused by federal land withdrawals within local government
boundaries. The KIB uses these funds to provide basic social services, including medical
facilities, emergency fire and rescue services, roads, and schools. The President's budget
request proposes a 12 percent cut in PILT funding for FY 2018. Kodiak Island Borough
opposes this reduction and supports full funding of PILT at its existing level of $465 million.
5. Refuge Revenue Sharing: The National Wildlife Refuge Fund is a critical source of
replacement revenue to communities like ours that have the presence of a large Federal wildlife
refuge within their boundaries. That presence removes substantial amounts of property from the
local property tax base. The share we receive from the Fund is based on a formula that partially
compensates us for our tax losses due to the existence of the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge.

The Refuge is over 1.9 million acres in size and therefore has permanently removed from
private ownership, development and taxation over half the property on the island. The
President's FY 2018 budget request proposes to eliminate Federal appropriations for this
important program. The Kodiak Island Borough opposes this termination of funding and is
seeking the Alaska Delegation's assistance in providing level funding for this coming fiscal year.
6. EPA's Fishing Vessel Discharge Rule: EPA has promulgated two rules to require
commercial fishermen to obtain Clean Water Act incidental discharge permits as a condition for
operating both small and large fishing vessels. The permits would cover ballast water, fish hold
water, anchor chain mud, deck wash/runoff, bilge pump discharge, gray or "stick" water,
laundry, shower, and galley sink water. The permits require burdensome reporting, monitoring,
inspections and compliance activities — all subject to heavy fines and citizen lawsuits under the
Clean Water Act for what seems to be minimal environmental protection. The Congress has
imposed a three year moratorium preventing EPA from implementing the Small Vessel General
Permit Rule and the Vessel General Permit Rule. The moratorium is set to expire on December
19`h later this year. Legislation is pending in the House and Senate that would make the
moratorium permanent. The Kodiak Island Borough is requesting that the Alaska Delegation
actively support a permanent moratorium.
7. Essential Air Service & Air Traffic Control Privatization: The President's FY 2018
budget request recommends terminating appropriations for the Essential Air Service (EAS)
program. Like many rural communities in Alaska and elsewhere in the nation, providing air
service to Kodiak is expensive. EAS ensures that the Borough's communities receive regular
air service. Without it, air carriers would either raise ticket prices above their already high levels
or discontinue service altogether. We thank the Delegation for its support of EAS over the years
and urge the restoration of EAS funding in the FY 2018 appropriations process. Secondly, we
understand that the House is again considering legislation to reauthorize the FAA that includes
formation of a privatized Air Traffic Control Services Corporation. As we noted in our 2016
Federal priorities resolution, privatization of air traffic control operations through the creation of a
new corporate entity would subject rural airport NAVAIDs, personnel, and safety equipment to a
business model, cost -benefit test which is unlikely to fare well compared to busier, more urban
or major hub airports. Furthermore, the new corporate entity has the flexibility to raise air carrier
and cargo user fees and could price rural air service providers out of the market which it might
choose to do if those airports are determined to be "not profitable." The Borough urges the
Delegation to oppose these provisions and the legislation in its current form.
8. U.S. Navy Arctic Presence: The U.S. National Strategy for the Arctic has been
evolving. The current Arctic Roadmap adopted by the Chief of Naval Operations sets out four
strategic objectives: (1) Ensuring sovereignty of the United States' Arctic region; (2) Providing
ready naval forces to respond to crises and contingencies; (3) Preserving freedom of
navigation; and (4) Promoting partnerships within the U.S. government and its international
allies and partners. The Kodiak Island Borough understands that the Department of the Navy
is currently conducting a study about whether the achievement of these objectives merits a
greater Naval presence in Alaska. The Borough Assembly believes achievement of the
National Strategy must include a larger Navy presence, including the establishment of Navy

ports -of -call in strategically located Alaskan coastal communities and possibly a full-time Navy
base. Kodiak is ideally situated to serve both as a port -of -call for logistics movements and
Rest -and -Recreation for deployed sailors. Additionally, the Coast Guard maintains a deep
water port at Womens Bay. There is sufficient land adjacent to the Coast Guard Base which
could be used for an expanded full-time Navy presence. The Assembly requests that the
Alaska Congressional Delegation keep Kodiak in mind during any discussion with the Defense
Department regarding the expansion of the Navy into Alaska.
9. Upper Hidden Basin Diversion Power Project -- The Upper Hidden Basin Diversion
project will connect an additional water source to Kodiak Electric Association's existing Terror
Lake Hydroelectric Facility, which is Kodiak's primary source of power. The new diversion
consists of two small diversion dams on two small upland streams. Surface water from the
diversion dam on the eastern stream would flow through a half -mile long underground pipe to
the diversion dam on the western stream. From there, surface water from both diversion dams
would flow by gravity through a 1.2 mile long tunnel under a mountain ridge to Terror Lake. The
project also includes a four mile long spur road off of an existing road to provide access for
constructing and maintaining the new diversion. Once the additional water from the Upper
Hidden Basin area reaches Terror Lake, additional power can be produced with existing
equipment already in operation at the Terror Lake Hydroelectric Project. No changes are
needed to the existing Terror Lake dam, penstock, powerhouse, or transmission line. No new
turbines or other equipment will be needed. The Upper Hidden Basin Diversion will simply
optimize this existing power generation infrastructure, resulting in a more enhanced and efficient
use of a local facility.
The Upper Hidden Basin Diversion Project will add 33 million additional kilowatt-hours of energy
to KEA's isolated electric grid. Kodiak's only other alternative to meeting Kodiak's power needs
is with diesel oil. Diesel power costs over four times more than hydropower, is dependent on
fuel barge shipments from outside refineries, and is subject to strict oil storage and air quality
regulations. The supply of water from Upper Hidden Basin Diversion can generate the same
amount of power as 2.2 million gallons of diesel per year and avoid 540 tons of nitrogen oxide
and 25,500 tons of greenhouse gas pollution annually by displacing diesel for power, light, and
heat. Local hydropower is a clean, long-term fixed -cost asset that remains independent of fuel
supply, price volatility or pollution liabilities. Hydropower provides the lowest cost of power in
Kodiak and makes Kodiak energy independent and energy secure.
10. Anton Larsen Bay Road Extension -- An extension of the Anton Larsen Bay Road to
ice free waters will provide year around access to those communities located in the Kupreanof
Strait as well as those who use the island's west side for commercial and recreational purposes.
Extending the road to ice free waters makes traveling safer, providing access to critical services
located in the City of Kodiak, including hospitals and businesses. The Ouznikie Native
Corporation has agreed through its subsidiary, the Spruce Island Development Corporation, to
provide $450,000 toward the project and to donate land to the State for the road's right of way.
The Sun'aq Tribe of Kodiak is separately seeking Federal funding to contribute to the project.
Total project cost is $8 million. We understand at some point in this Congress, there will be

A RESOLUTION OF THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH ADOPTING A
STATE LEGISLATIVE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS PRIORITY LIST FOR THE
2018 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 reviewed the borough -wide capital
improvement program adopted by the Planning & Zoning Commission and identified major
projects to submit to the Alaska Governor and State Legislative Delegation for funding
consideration; and
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 2018 legislative session are as follows:
1. 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 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.
2. 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 the 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 Plan (2013) describes a need for
separated pathways or trails to connect the residential neighborhoods to the school. This
project would provide separated gravel pedestrian pathways along Lily Drive and Anton
Way.
3. 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 loading/unloading. The project will require an
increase in the total area of the parking lot by expanding into neighboring Borough -owned
land to allow adequate parking to support increased building usage and occupant load.
4. Drainage Improvements to the Chiniak Highway at Sargent Creek
Estimated Project Cost $150,000
State Funding Request $150,000
Heavy rains along with high tides consistently cause Sargent Creek to flood and diverge
from its channel. This causes flooding at the intersection of the Chiniak Highway and
Sargent Creek Road. Recent heavy rain events have necessitated intermittent closure of
the intersection due to water on the roadway deep enough to disable vehicle engines. This
intersection is the only roadway in and out of Bells Flats subdivision. The flooding occurring
here impedes safe travel and often leaves motorists stranded and unable to reach homes or
critical services located in town.
This request is to provide the DOT in Kodiak funding to construct spot improvements for
bank stabilization, armoring, and rechanneling as needed to keep the Sargent Creek in its
channel and stop the flooding of the roadway.

State funding request: $65,000
The school in the community of Akhiok is not only the education center but also the hub of
this small community. The main power distribution line from the school's transformer to the
City of Akhiok's main power grid has failed. This distribution line is a 750 foot run of 1/0
direct buried concentric exposed neutral line from the main grid to the transformer. The line
has been temporarily repaired but could fail again in another area at any time due to its age
and condition. The City has received rough estimated prices for replacement of the line to
be $50,000 to $60,000, not including transportation, lodging, or equipment rental for the
repair crew to the village. When this transmission line fails again the school will be forced to
supply power through their onsite stand-by generators. If the School is required to do this
they will have to use the only fuel they have for heating to run the generators full time. If
they were to have to do this in the winter they would need to fly fuel into the village at a cost
of over $8 a gallon.
The Kodiak Island Borough is requesting funding assistance to the City of Akhiok to replace
the power transmission line to the school in order to continue essential power service at a
reasonable price to the community.
6. Monashka Bay Water and Sewer Project Phase I: Feasibility & Assessment Survey
Estimated Project Cost $500,000
State Funding Request $500,000
There are 256 residential parcels that lie outside the reach of the existing sanitary sewer
and public water utilities in the Monashka Bay area. The soil and topography in this area
are not ideal for septic systems and many are failing. The construction of a wastewater
treatment facility at the Kodiak landfill provides an option for future expansion that could
include sanitary sewer treatment for the residents of this area. Water in this neighborhood is
provided by wells, cisterns and frequently by tank from a distant public source. Water quality
and quantity are questionable in the Monashka Bay neighborhood. Extension of water
service from the City of Kodiak will be needed. A feasibility study, planning and design is the
first step in providing water and sewer services to the residents of the Monashka Bay area.
7. Service Area Road Improvements and Paving
Estimated Project Cost
State Funding Request
$7,500,000
$7,500,000
This project addresses the on-going need to improve portions of Borough Service Area
roads. There are approximately 26 miles of road among four Road Service Areas that
connect residential neighborhoods with the greater Kodiak community. Paving projects will
address main thoroughfares or busy neighborhood roads. Improvements to major drainage
courses, installation of guard rails, and other identified road improvement needs may also
be addressed with this funding. Local contributions to road improvements may be funded
through local improvement districts where those in the district are taxed a proportion of the
project cost. Priorities will be given based on recommendations made by the elected service
area boards.
Current priorities include milling and repaving Bells Flats Road, and raising the entrance to
Sargent Creek Road along with installing a discharge culvert to avoid problematic flooding at
the intersection of this road with the Chiniak Highway in the Womens Bay Road Service
Area. Priorities in (Road) Service Area No. 1 include replacement of corroding corrugated
metal culverts along Puffin Way and Sean Circle with high density polyethylene culverts;

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