RESOLUTION NO. FY2019-07
A RESOLUTION OF THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH ESTABLISHING
A CONSOLIDATION COMMITTEE
WHEREAS, the October 4, 2016 local election included an advisory question on the ballot that
asked, "Should the Kodiak Island Borough pursue the idea of consolidating the Kodiak Island
Borough and City of Kodiak into a single unit of government?"; and
WHEREAS, the results of the advisory question were in favor with 1,235 Yes and 919 No votes;
and
WHEREAS, consolidating the Kodiak Island Borough and City of Kodiak into a single unit of
government would require a petition to the Local Boundary Commission; and
WHEREAS, the petition requires detailed information about how the two governments would
be combined and the new government that would be formed; and
WHEREAS, Resolution No. FY2018-25 approved the solicitation of proposals for research and
analysis services for the possible consolidation of the City of Kodiak and Kodiak Island Borough
governments, but there were no proposers; and
WHEREAS, Assembly members have voiced agreement that a coordinated effort between the
two local governments and members of the public is needed to gather information and propose a
plan for consolidating the two governments, and prepare a petition to the Local Boundary
Commission; and
WHEREAS, the intent of this consolidation is to combine only the City of Kodiak and Kodiak
Island Borough governments, leaving the island's second class cities powers and duties
unaffected; and
WHEREAS, the Assembly is creating a Consolidation Committee to prepare a draft petition that
will address the details of consolidating the two local governments and forming a new Home Rule
Borough and Charter; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND
BOROUGH that there is established a Kodiak Consolidation Committee.
