ASSEMBLY REGULAR MEETING
SUBJECT: Resolution No. FY2018-25 Directing The Manager To Solicit For Proposals For
The Hiring Of A Consultant(s) To Perform Research And Provide Reports
Related To The Topic Of Consolidation And Approving The Allocation Of
Funding Necessary Related To This Subject In The FY2019 Budget.
ORIGINATOR: Kyle Crow
RECOMMENDATION:
Move to adopt Resolution No. FY2018-25.
DISCUSSION:
During the October 2016 Kodiak Island Borough Municipal Election, the voters were presented an
advisory question " Should the Kodiak Island Borough pursue the idea of consolidating the Kodiak
and the vote resulted in an
approval of 1235 yes votes and 919 no votes."
At this point, the elected representatives and citizens of the Kodiak Island Borough, including those
who reside within the City of Kodiak, need to know:
a. Will consolidation result in the better use of our limited resources, from tax dollars to staff
hours, to provide the highest quality services to our residents in the most efficient and
economical way
b. Should these like-minded municipalities be combined to form a single most efficient
organization or maintain their unique and independent separate bodies?
c. Which government structure will deliver services most efficiently and effectively?; and
As a first step, the Borough needs to have a single consultant or separate consultants, perform:
a. An unbiased and objective study of this issue.
b. Research to determine past, present and future economic conditions, trends, and the impacts
and benefits of consolidation and forecasts and answers to basic questions, with supporting
data and facts..
c. Provide non-biased recommendations and suggestions on this matter.
This resolution will direct the Manager to solicit for proposals for the hiring of a consultant or
consultants to perform research and provide a report or reports on the economic conditions of the two
municipalities and the potential benefits and/or impacts of consolidation, as well as the benefits and
potential impacts on government operations and services.
This resolution will also approve the allocation of funding necessary related to this subject in the
FY2019 Budget.
A draft scope of work for this effort is included in the packet.

AGENDA ITEM #2.b.
Scope of Work for Management Consultant Services for Preliminary
Consolidation Research and Report
I.BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
1. The Kodiak Island Borough and City of Kodiak need to maximize every available
resource and combining the two municipalities appears to offer the best opportunity for:
a. Maximizing local self-government, as determined under 3 AAC 110.981,
b. Providing a minimum number of local government units, as determined under 3
AAC 110.982 and in accordance with Article X, section 1, of the Constitution of
the State of Alaska, and
c. Enhancing local government services.
2. The Kodiak Island Borough Comprehensive Plan provides the community with the
following guidance and direction:
a.“Participants in several Comprehensive Plan meetings recommended
consolidation of the Borough and City of Kodiak governments, which they
indicated would improve government efficiency and reduce duplication of
services. This issue was primarily discussed in meetings in the City of Kodiak.”
b.“Consider consolidation of local governmental functions or agencies, including
among the City of Kodiak and Kodiak Island Borough.”
c.“Conduct a study to identify the potential benefits, drawbacks and advisability of
consolidation of the Borough and City of Kodiak governments”
3. During the October 2016 Kodiak Island Borough municipal election the voters were
asked the advisory question, which was overwhelmingly approved (1235 for, 919
against).
“Should the Kodiak Island Borough pursue the idea of consolidating the Kodiak
Island Borough and the City of Kodiak into a single unit of government?”
4. The Assembly then directed the Borough Manager to perform preliminary research and
investigations to determine if there would be any obvious and unacceptable negative
impacts or consequences from consolidating the two governments (“show stoppers”)
and after studying this issue for a year the manager provided a brief report during the
Assembly’s November 30, 2016 Work Session. (see Attachment 3).

opposition would be harmful to the community. Note all obstacles experienced as
well as the support received during fact and information finding efforts. Provide a
frank open, honest and unbiased assessment of the politics of this issue.

(1) Will the merged municipality efficiently and effectively provide reasonably
necessary facilities and services after merger;
(2) What effect the proposed merger will have on the long-term stability of the
finances of the proposed merged municipality, other municipalities, and the
state;
(3) Whether the proposed merger will promote:
(A) Maximum local self-government, as determined under 3 AAC
110.981; and
(B) a minimum number of local government units, as determined
under 3 AAC 110.982 and in accordance with art. X, sec. 1,
Constitution of the State of Alaska; and
(4) Whether requirements for local government services will be enhanced
following merger.
III. Submittals:

fine tune and direct efforts and priorities.
IV. Deliverable:
Final Report: The Final Report will be used by the Borough Assembly to evaluate whether or
not it is worthwhile to invest additional funds and efforts needed to pursue Consolidation. If
so, the information will be useful to the formation of a Committee, and will be used by that
Committee. The Report will also serve as a foundation for a final follow-up report that will be
submitted to the State of Alaska Department of Community Development and Boundary
Commission along with a petition for consolidation.

AGENDA ITEM #2.b.
Attachment 1
1998 Consolidation Report notes:
Report Assumptions: The new borough would essentially maintain the existing distinction of rural and
urban service levels through utilization of the service district concept and reflect the differing service
levels by different levels of taxation. The consolidated borough would eliminate duplication in the areas
of the legislative body, the manager's office, the clerk's office and the finance office. Other City and
Borough departments may be streamlined through consolidation.
1. Although the citizens of the Kodiak area could restructure their government through merger,
consolidation or unification, the committee concentrated on the consolidation approach. Consolidation
allows a fresh start, dissolving the existing city and borough and creating a new municipality, yet does not
require the formation of a home rule or chartered form of government.
The consolidation process does not require dissolution of all municipalities within the boundaries of the
proposed new Government. Hence, the villages of Akhiok, Larsen Bay, Old Harbor, Ouzinkie and Port
Lions could continue to exist as second class cities.
2. The future under Consolidation allows for service districts to adjust the level of none—areawide
service by voter preference. No proposal should be made to restrict the ability of people to change the
level of services currently provided. Any changes in the level of services can affect the tax burden
required to support those services.
3. The consolidated government should not change the urban-rural mix of services at this time.
Significant alteration of the level of services enjoyed, particularly by those living outside the existing city
limits, would require large expenditures of funds.
4. The consolidated government should ensure that all services provided on an area-wide basis will be
supported on an area-wide basis. This may mean some shift on the relative tax burden facing property
inside and outside the city boundaries.
5.All cost projections are based on fiscal year 1989 municipal budgets and are stated in today's dollars.
6.All budget figures for personnel costs referenced here include fringe benefits.
7.Akhiok, Larsen Bay, Old Harbor, Ouzinkie and Port Lions will not disincorporate; therefore, they will
remain autonomous, second —class' general law cities.
8.All assumptions heretofore made are based upon the even more basic presumption that the projected
costs of operating the departments of the consolidated borough will be based upon the existing level of
services. If more services are subsequently required, the costs thereof would increase accordingly.
9.Given a number of factors, the home rule or first class Government option appears best for this
community.

FY2019 Budget – Press Packet
Section 1: Budget Overview
Highlights
-$818.8 million – Permanent fund dividend ($1,216)
-$34 million – Public Safety Action Plan (20 more positions)
o$4.8 million for more troopers and prosecutors
o$18 million for substance abuse treatment
o$10.5 million to address the growing prison population
o$500 thousand for public defenders
-$691 million – Medicaid (Up $27.2 million. Enrollment up 34 percent since FY 2015)
In FY 2015, Medicaid covered 163,388 people.
In FY2017, 218,385 enrolled
In FY 2019, expecting more than 225,000 to be enrolled.
-$245.5 million – Payment for unfunded retirement liabilities (up $82 million)
-$1.26 billion – Education (maintains current student base allocation)
-$150 million – Capital budget (covering just federal matches)
Reductions and Downward Pressure
The state has 2,800 fewer employees now than three years ago.
The governor’s proposed FY 2019 budget has 217 fewer budgeted positions than the FY 2018
budget the legislature passed. The governor’s FY 2019 budget has 2,127 fewer positions than in
FY 2015. Efficiency measures are expected to reduce another 200 positions over the next several
years.
Is the budget up or down?
Using the methodology proposed by the Budget Transparency Report, which accounts for use of
general fund offsets, fund reclassifications, reappropriations, and supplementals, the fiscal year
2019 budget is $4.7 billion, down from fiscal year 2018’s $4.8 billion.
Agency operating budgets increased by less than 1 percent (below the rate of inflation). This was
driven by the investment in public safety of $34.0 million, a prison population that grew higher
than anticipated, and increased formula costs for Medicaid of $27.2 million. These increases
were offset by continued reductions in executive branch agencies.
Permanent fund dividend spending increased 7.7 percent—from $760 million last year. Capital
budget spending decreased 39 percent from last year.
In total, state spending will be down by 1.7 percent.

Section 2: Alaska Economic Recovery Plan
Overview
Alaska’s Economic Recovery Plan puts Alaskans to work, addresses critical infrastructure concerns, and
restores confidence to Alaska businesses and investors. The Governor’s deferred maintenance capital
package injects $1.4 billion of economic activity through construction projects across Alaska. Rather
than add new debts to our balance sheet, this plan reduces our existing liability by focusing on the
growing deferred maintenance obligation at the state and local level.
Jump-starting Alaska’s economy through this three-phase plan depends on our willingness to invest in
Alaska’s future by implementing a limited broad-based tax. This three-phase capital package, funded by
$800 million from three fiscal years of a 1.5% payroll deduction, sunsets in fiscal year 2021. The phased
approach is shown below.

Appropriations
The Alaska Economic Recovery Act, submitted to the legislature as part of this budget proposal, includes
appropriations totaling $280 million in FY2019. Followed with appropriation bills of $270 million and
$250 million for FY2020 and FY2021, respectively. Over that same period, the estimated revenue from
the payroll deduction will total $800 million and will go to fund the capital program. These infrastructure
investments will leverage federal and local monies on top of state funds, amounting to a total of $1.4
billion in economic activity.

Investments:
These infrastructure investments will address the University, K-12, and state facility deferred
maintenance liabilities. It also provides investments in deferred maintenance for communities, a match
for the Port of Anchorage, and continues the harbor matching grants, bulk fuel tank and weatherization
programs.
Focusing on deferred maintenance projects gets work started now – not in a decade after years of
studies. Investing in deferred maintenance reduces future liability and conveys Alaska’s willingness to
take care of its own assets without increasing future costs. The table below provides the listing of the
phased distribution by appropriation. The fiscal year 2019 appropriations included in the Alaska

Section 2: Alaska Economic Recovery Plan
Funding Mechanism
Under Governor Walker’s Alaska Economic Recovery Plan, a payroll deduction—collected over three
years—would generate $800 million, which projects to create well over 1,000 jobs for Alaskans.
According to ISER, each $100 million spent on capital projects generates more than 750 jobs.
The limited payroll tax proposal for funding the Alaska Economic Recovery Act is structured as the
proposal Governor Walker introduced in September for the fourth special legislative session, except that
it will be earmarked solely to fund the deferred maintenance projects described above. The proposal
taxes 1.5 percent of wages earned by Alaskans and non-resident workers, capped at $2,200 or twice the
previous year’s permanent fund dividend amount—whichever is higher. For example, a person who
earned $50,000 would pay $750 in payroll tax and receive a PFD.
About fifteen percent of the revenue collected from the tax is projected to come from non-resident
workers, who in 2015 earned more than $2.7 billion. Under this proposal, Alaskans would pay the lowest
taxes on a nationwide basis. (For more information, see: OMB FY2019 Budget: Limited Payroll Deduction
Tax Bill Summary)
Example from October, 2017
Oil Tax Credit Payment Proposal:
Following the Legislature’s passage of HB111, ending the flawed cash credit program, Governor Walker
asked the Department of Revenue to further explore options for expediting payment of outstanding oil
and gas exploration tax credits.
As part of the Alaska Economic Recovery Plan, we propose to pay off the remainder of our outstanding
future-obligations to independent oil and gas exploration companies at a modest discount rate in fiscal
year 2019. To fund payment of these outstanding credits, the state will issue bonds. The credit holders
will be paid at a discount that covers the cost of borrowing. By paying these obligations, at no additional
expense to the state or burden on the treasury, we’ll put this chapter behind us and help give small
operators confidence to in Alaska. (For more information, see: OMB FY2019 Budget: Tax Credit
Certificates Bond Financing Program Summary)

FY2019 Budget – Press Packet
Section 3: Budget Reform
Alaska’s budget process is broken… In recent years, budget gridlock has cost the state millions in
legislative overtime, devalued the citizens’ mandate for a 90-day session, and put the state on the brink
of government shutdown.
Due to budget gridlock, Alaska now takes the most time to produce the least legislation at the highest
per capita costs of any Legislature in the country. Many Alaskans believe we cannot fix our fiscal
problem without first fixing our broken budget process.
This legislation adds consequences, through loss of pay and per diem, if the Governor or the Legislature
fail to complete their budget work by statutory deadlines. This legislation also makes Alaska’s budget
process biennial, simultaneously reducing costs to the state and uncertainty for Alaskans. In tandem, the
plan seeks to improve budget transparency.
Consequences for Failure: First, this legislation requires the Legislature to pass a budget by the 90-day
deadline set by Alaskans in 2006. Otherwise, beginning on day 91 of the legislative session, legislators
would forfeit per diem and have salary withheld until budget passage. Likewise, if the Governor failed to
publish a budget by December 15, he/she would receive no salary for each overdue day.
Failure to finish budget work on time hurts Alaskans. School districts lose any certainty over their
budgets and are forced to send pink slips to teachers. State agencies must send layoff notices to
employees. Fisheries openings, ferry schedules, and project permitting are all thrown into chaos. This
1
plan creates consequences and removes de facto incentives for inaction.
A Biennial Budget: This plan establishes a biennial rather than annual budget. The Governor would
introduce a complete budget prior to the start of each legislature to fund the next two fiscal years. The
Legislature would pass two budgets for the next two years by day 90 of the first session. While the
Legislature could still review policy legislation, its primary focus during its first session would be the
budgets. During its second session, the Legislature would be able to focus on policy bills with far less
time devoted to supplemental spending and budget amendments.
A biennial budget would increase legislative efficiency, avoid weaponizing the budget in election years,
reduce economic uncertainty, shift staff time from budget preparation to financial management, and
2
enable longer-range fiscal planning for state and local government.
Budget Transparency: In tandem with the above legislation, the Administration will work with the
Legislative Budget and Audit Committee to produce the Alaska Budget Transparency Report, to better
assist the public in understanding the trend of state spending over time. Past years have seen use of
strategies that artificially reduce general fund spending. Clearly accounting for these strategies is
essential to enable an accurate public understanding of state spending over time. See OMB: FY2019
Budget Transparency Report.
1
California is one example that shows the effectiveness of this approach. Voters in California, disgusted by legislative gridlock,
approved an initiative (Proposition 25) requiring its legislature to pass a budget on time or forfeit pay for each day of delay. The
results speak for themselves. From 1 980 to 2010, twenty-five budgets passed late. In 2008, the budget was 100 days late. In
2011, the first year under Proposition 25, the budget was passed 12 days late, and on time every year since.
2
This is not a partisan issue. At the federal level, congressional leaders from both sides, including Speaker of the House Paul
Ryan (R-WI), support moving the federal budget from annual to biennial.

Peterson Roof Replacement and Repairs
2/13/2018
Peterson Elementary roof project has been on our Renewal and Replacement list for a few years now.
Peterson Elementary roof was installed in stages the newest portion being at least 25 years of age now.
There are now multiple issues with the roof not only with the membrane but the expansion joints
between the sections as they were constructed. The entire roof is 39,000 square feet this coupled with
the small parapet walls comes to approx. 42,000 square feet of membrane need to be replace.
Attached is in independent report of Peterson roofs condition and issues. A budget has been put
together using the Alaska Department of Education Cost models for schools. Photos are also attached
showing some of the issues with this roof.

29 Section 1:The Kodiak Island Borough’s State Legislative capital improvement project
30 priorities forthe 2018legislative session are as follows:
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 degradethe 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 Kodiak Island Borough is requesting funding for AKDOT to purchase and install lighted

AGENDA ITEM #2.c.
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 NorthstarElementary 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 pathwaysalong 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.Cityof Akhiok Power Transmission Line Replacement

95 The schoolin the community of Akhiokis not only the education centerbut also the hub of
96 this small community.The main power distribution line from the school’s transformertothe
97 Cityof Akhiok’smain power grid has failed.Thisdistribution 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 failagain 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 includingtransportation,lodging,or equipment rentalfor the
102 repaircrew to the village. When this transmission line failsagain the school will be forced to
103 supply power through their onsitestand-by generators. If the School is required to do this
104 they will have to usethe only fuel they have for heating torun thegenerators full time. If
105 they were to have to do this in the winter they would need to fly fuel into the village at acost
106 of over $8 a gallon.
107
108 The Kodiak Island Borough is requesting funding assistance to the City of Akhiokto 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.Service Area Road Improvements and Paving
113 Estimated Project Cost$7,500,000
114 State Funding Request$7,500,000
115
116 This project addresses the on-going need to improve portions of Borough Service Area
117 roads. There are approximately 26 miles of road among four Road Service Areas that
118 connect residential neighborhoods with the greater Kodiak community. Paving projects will
119 address main thoroughfares or busy neighborhood roads. Improvements to major drainage
120 courses, installation of guard rails, and other identified road improvement needs may also
121 be addressed with this funding. Local contributions to road improvements maybe funded
122 through local improvement districts where those in the district are taxed a proportion of the
123 project cost.Priorities will be given based on recommendations made by the elected service
124 area boards.
125
126 Current priorities include milling and repaving Bells Flats Road, and raising the entrance to
127 Sargent Creek Road along with installing a discharge culvert to avoid problematic flooding at
128 the intersection of this road with the Chiniak Highway in the Womens Bay Road Service
129 Area. Priorities in (Road) Service Area No. 1 include replacement of corroding corrugated
130 metal culverts along Puffin Way and Sean Circle with high density polyethylene culverts;
131 prep and paving of Woodland Acres roads; prep and paving of Lily Drive to Balika Lane,
132 Balika Lane, Ed’s Way and Eider Street.
133
134 7.Monashka Bay Water and Sewer ProjectPhase I: Feasibility & Assessment Survey
135 Estimated Project Cost$500,000
136 State Funding Request$500,000
137

154 An extension of the Anton Larsen Bay Road to ice free waters will provide year around
155 access to communities located in the Kupreanof Strait as well as those who use the island’s
156 west side for commercial and recreational purposes. Many times during the yeartravel by

158 traveling safer, andprovides safer access to critical services located in the City of Kodiak
159 including hospitals and businesses. This route was identified in the Kodiak Transportation
160 Plan as an important upland facility.

Kodiak Fishery Advisory Committee Meeting
December 6, 2013
9:00 am, Room 129, Kodiak College
Committee Members Present: Alexus Kwachka, Jeff Stephan, Patrick O Donnell (Alt for Trawl), Lee
Robbins, Chris Fiala, Terry Haines, Oliver Holm, Steve Branson, Theresa Peterson.
Public Present: Stephen Taufen, John Whiddon, Julie Matweyou, Rolan Ruoss, Jerry Bongen.
Staff Present: Trevor Brown, Rebecca Skinner
Notes from Discussion:
GOA Chinook Salmon PSC Rollover: The proposal on the December NPFMC agenda seems to have
broad support. It would allow Chinook salmon PSC not used in the Rockfish program to be rolled into
November and December trawl fisheries. There are a number of alternatives that vary on the amount
that would be retired from the rollover amount. Alternative 5 is the councils preferred alternative.
GOA Groundfish Harvest Specs: The Groundfish Planning Team recommends that pollock, cod, and
most rockfish species Total Allowable Catch (TAC) be raised in 2014. The Central gulf Pollock quota
increase would be approximately 42,000 metric tons or roughly a 45% increase. Sablefish, black cod,
TAC is proposed to decrease by approximately 1,000 metric tons or roughly 20%. These
recommendations will be reviewed by the Council at the December meeting.
GOA Potgear for Sablefish: KFAC had considerable discussion on the proposed use of pot gear in the
sablefish fishery. Whale predation is one of the leading factors for allowing pots in the fishery. The use
of longline pot gear could lead to other issues as those strings of gear would limit the use of traditional
hook and line gear in that area, due to entanglement issues, and conflicts with trawl gear. Options
discussed by the group ranged from limited areas of use, removal of gear during delivery, and limited
number of pots allowed per vessel.
Halibut Charter Recommendations: The group briefly discussed the proposed halibut charter
recommendations. The drop in local charter operators was also discussed and the possible effects a 1
halibut per day limit would h
limit, but could see a slot limit or some other type of reduction.
th
another decrease in quota in the coming year. Those recommendations came out on December 5 so
the actual numbers were not available for the group to review.
th
The January State of Alaska Board of Fish meeting will be held in Kodiak starting on January 7. The
group felt that it would be too difficult to meet before the BOF meeting due to the Holidays. It also felt
there are enough other public meetings dealing with the January agenda items that the community has
other avenues to voice their opinions on those topics.

Borough's Role In Fisheries - Education Vs. Policy Setting
AGENDA ITEM #2.d.
The Chamber is organizing a community reception on behalf of the City and Borough for the Alaska
Board of Fish meeting. The event will be held at the Fisheries Research Center from 5:30 to 7pm on
th
January 7. We are working with Fish and Game to allow for tours of their new building during the
reception.
Harbor amenities, including laundry and shower facilities, were discussed at the end of the meeting. Mr.
Brown stated that showers and laundry came up for discussion at a recent Downtown Revitalization
Committee meeting. There were differing views on shower facilities, the costs of building and
maintaining them was the main reason against them. The need for a place for fishermen to clean up and
other Alaskan ports that have them were reasons given to build them. In general most would be in favor
of having showers available if they could be offered at a reasonable price to the community.
Management of the space/services was a major issue; most did not want the City to have to take on this
role.
Next Meeting: Late January or sooner if called for by the City/Borough Fisheries Workgroup. Brown will
send out a number of dates to gage availability after the Holidays. Meeting adjourned 11:15 a.m.
