A RESOLUTION OF THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH ADOPTING AN
ALTERNATIVE ALLOCATION METHOD FOR THE FY24 SHARED FISHERIES BUSINESS
TAX PROGRAM AND CERTIFYING THAT THIS ALLOCATION METHOD FAIRLY
REPRESENTS THE DISTRIBUTION OF SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS OF FISHERIES BUSINESS
ACTIVITY IN FMA 13: KODIAK AREA.
WHEREAS, AS 29.60.450 requires that for a municipality to participate in the FY24 Shared
Fisheries Business Tax Program, the municipality must demonstrate to the Department of
Commerce, Community and Economic Development that the municipality suffered significant
effects during calendar year 2022 from fisheries business activities; and
WHEREAS, 3 AAC 134.060 provides for the allocation of available program funding to eligible
municipalities located within fisheries management areas specified by the Department of
Commerce, Community and Economic Development; and
WHEREAS, 3 AAC 134.070 provides for the use, at the discretion of the Department of
Commerce, Community, and Economic Development, of alternative allocation methods which
may be used within fisheries management areas if all eligible municipalities within the area agree
to use the method, and the method incorporates some measure of the relative significant effects
of fisheries business activity on the respective municipalities in the area; and
WHEREAS, the Kodiak Island Borough proposes to use an alternative allocation method for
allocation of FY24 funding available within the FMA 13: KODIAK AREA in agreement with all other
municipalities in this area participating in the FY24 Shared Fisheries Business Tax Program;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND
BOROUGH that this resolution certifies that the following alternative allocation method fairly
represents the distribution of significant effects during 2022 of fisheries business activity in FMA
13: Kodiak Area:
• All municipalities share equally 50% of allocation; all municipalities share remaining 50%
on a per capita basis.
