Wall For Design And Services During Construction Fees For The KIBSD Main
Elementary School Roof Replacement In An Amount Not To Exceed $64,560.
ARNDT moved to approve contract No. FY2019-10 change order No. 15 with
Jensen Yorba Wall for the design and services during construction fees for the
Main Elementary School roof replacement in the amount of $64,560.
During the past several years, the Kodiak Island Borough School District has
discussed the overall condition but mostly appearance of the moss covering
treated cedar shingle roof at Main Elementary School. The KIBSD contracted to
have moss removal performed at Main Elementary School. As this roof is a
treated cedar shingle roof and due to its age and overall condition, the water
blasting that was performed resulted in additional degradation and created a
perceived emergent issue to replace the existing roof.
The Engineering and Facility Department staff contacted a local roofing
contractor for a review regarding repairs in October 2021. The information
provided was to leave the roof in the condition that it currently stands as it has
not been reported to be leaking. Staff is recommending the preparation of a bid
package for the replacement of the existing roof with architectural shingles and

acknowledge that soft areas will likely require the replacement of roof sheathing
as identified during the job progress.
The bid package should be prepared and advertised as quickly as possible to
allow for the roof replacement to be completed during the next building season.
If time and materials availability are a completion factor by the August start of
school, allow staff and the contractor to identify the roof section that require
immediate attention and perform the work in the established repair section order
jointly defined with the contractor.

contractor came to the facility and that evaluation defined the system as
nonfunctional. Due to the hour meters on the existing equipment the contractor
stated that this equipment did not properly function from the time of installation.
The KIB hired CRW Engineering Group, LLC. to perform a site visit and prepare
a design for a temporary chlorination system that ensures compliance with an
Alaska Department of Fish and Game Aquatic Resource Permit required for
holding live shellfish at the facility. This system has been installed and is
functional and being monitored for proper function.
Staff is recommending hiring CRW for a professional services contract due to
their process engineering expertise in the rural water and wastewater field. This
contract will provide a defined scope of work, assistance with the preparation of
bid documents, support during the bid and construction process. In addition,
CRW will assist the KIB in application and instatement of the required Alaska
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit if required by the Alaska
Department of Environmental Conservation.

2. Ordinance No. FY2022-08 Planning And Zoning Commission Case 22-006,
Approval Of Rezone Tract 1 & 2 Of Tract S -5a-1 U.S.S. 3218, 3467, 3469 From
Split I -Industrial And B -Business District To B -Business District.
ARNDT moved to advance ordinance FY2022-08, the rezone of tracts 1 & 2 of
Tract S -5A-1, being a portion of U.S.S. 3218 & 3467 & 3469, plat 93-34 from
split I -Industrial and B -Business District to B -Business District, as approved by
the Planning and Zoning Commission on December 15, 2021, to the next in
person regular meeting of the Assembly.
The rezone of Commercial Tract 1 and 2, Tract S -5A-1, U.S.S. 3218, 3467, and
3469 would allow the applicant to develop commercial property that is consistent
with the development goals outlined in the 2008 Kodiak Island Borough
Comprehensive Plan.
The rezone would be an opportunity to implement an action identified in the land
use section of the 2008 comprehensive plan: Review existing zoning ordinances
with a focus on minimizing the number of zones where possible to mitigate
confusion. In addition, the revised 1997 and the original 1991 Lakeside/Safeway
Subarea Land Use Plan identified this area as best suited to Retail Business.
Both the 91' and 97' versions of the plan identify separating potentially conflicting
land uses as a key objective.
A significant conflict exists with these two zoning districts governing a single
parcel, 17.90.010B; C: To prohibit the use of business district lands for
manufacturing and industrial purposes; This is a valuable opportunity to
implement comprehensive and subarea plan actions. Community Development
staff recommends capitalizing on this opportunity.
A total of 419 public hearing notices were mailed out on November 18, 2021.
Only one public comment, in favor of the rezone, was returned by the December
16 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.
ROLL CALL VOTE ON THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY: Arndt, Griffin,
