A RESOLUTION OF THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH ADOPTING A
STATE LEGISLATIVE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS PRIORITY LIST FOR THE 2024
LEGISLATIVE SESSION
WHEREAS, the Kodiak Island Borough represents approximately 13,000 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

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 (unranked) for the 2023 legislative session are as follows:
• St. Herman Harbor Infrastructure Replacement
Estimated Project Cost
Phase I & II
$16,000,000
Phase III & IV
$40,000,000
Funding Acquired
$ 1,800,000
Needed State Funds
$ 5,000,000
The City of Kodiak is the owner of the two largest harbors in the Kodiak Island Borough, one of
those harbors, St. Herman Harbor (SHH), was built by the State of Alaska in 1982 and has been
a vital facility for Kodiak's large and diverse commercial fishing fleet for over 40 years. The State
of Alaska turned over all state-owned facilities in St. Herman Harbor to the City of Kodiak in 1999.
The facility provides safe moorage for more than 400 vessels from all over Alaska and the West
Coast. Except for a few minor upgrades over the years, the original float system is beyond its
useful life and is in critical need of replacement.

The proposed project would result in the reconstruction of St. Herman Harbor with the
replacement of most of its float system in four phases. Currently, the harbor has been losing one
dock per year due to aging and the saltwater elements. A dock loss results in 2 vessel berths
along with the revenue generated for the harbor. This rate of failure is likely to increase in future
years as the existing docks further deteriorate. The latest inspection report shows many portions
of the facility are in very poor condition. The forty -year-old float systems suffer from failing
concrete, rotting walers and bull rails, and an outdated electrical system. These floats contain
electrical pedestals, fire suppression water lines, safety ladders and supply water.
In 2022, the City contracted with PND Engineers, Inc. (PND) to prepare a St. Herman Harbor
Planning and Scoping Report that includes concept harbor layouts, cost estimates and
construction phasing recommendations. The Kodiak Island Borough supports the City of Kodiak
request of $16 million to complete the first two phases. Phases III & IV estimated project
development cost is approximately $40,000,000.
Modernizing and expanding the port infrastructure is critical to remaining competitive in
maintaining our status as an important commercial fishing community. Waterfront facilities and
marine infrastructure are a critical element to the City of Kodiak and the State of Alaska,
supporting a large portion of the City's commerce, industry, transportation, and recreational
needs.
• Hospital Facility Sterilizer and Boiler Replacement
Estimated Project Cost $1,000,000
Funding Acquired $0
Needed Funds $1,000,000
The Kodiak Island Borough owned hospital facility boilers and associated system components
are aging along with the facility. The system components that have been identified for major repair
or replacement include the oil -fired boilers, chiller unit, reverse osmosis water system, steam
generation equipment and sterilization equipment are all in consideration. The oil -fired boilers
provide the major hydronic heating component for several associated systems at the hospital
facility. They include the production of facility heat, hot water and the hot water component for
conversion to steam via a steam generator that is distributed to the sterilizers required for the
hospital operations. The sterilizer equipment has been maintained at an operational level. Due to
the age of the existing equipment, increased frequent failures associated with the steam generator
and sterilization equipment has affected the operational capacity of the hospital to the point where
operating room availability is managed at times with the functional capacity of the facility to ensure
properly sterilized equipment. All of the system components need to be evaluated for replacement
timeframes as and of the individual component failures may lead to services being suspended at
the hospital facility.

• Kodiak Community Health Center Expansion
Estimated Total Project Cost $25,850,000
Funding acquired $8,317,901
Estimated Design Cost $1,200,000
Needed Funds $1,200,000
The Kodiak Community Health Center (KCHC) is currently housed within the Kodiak Island
Borough owned hospital facility and co -located with Providence Kodiak Island Medical Center.
KCHC is in need of increasing the clinic space and is planning an expansion project. Due to
various changes in the community in the past five years, patient and provider counts have
increased and pushed this organization to the maximum of their space limitations. Additionally,
an increase in patient population is expected to coincide with a local US Coast Guard base
increase in employees and their families in the next few years.
With appropriate funding KCHC proposes to expand and improve the clinic space and continue
to provide needed services in the Kodiak community. KCHC has acquired funding in the amount
of $8.3 million toward this project, however design activities are not eligible within this funding.
KCHC is seeking design funds in order to move forward with the project and will continue fund
raising efforts for the balance needed.
• Kodiak Wastewater Treatment Plant Facility
Estimated Project Cost $1,900,000
Funding Acquired $ 100,000
Needed Funds $1,800,000
The City of Kodiak provides water and sewer services to Kodiak Island Borough residences
and business that are located adjacent to City of Kodiak boundaries. The City of Kodiak
Treatment Plant operates under an Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation
(ADEC) APDES permit. The first phase of a larger project to upgrade the City of Kodiak
Wastewater Treatment Plant was to evaluate the facility for immediate system needs. The last
major maintenance upgrade to the facility was in 1999. The condition and evaluation
assessment included all major components within the plant interior and exterior, the out-
buildings and three aeration basins; including all mechanical equipment needs. Alaska
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (APDES) permitting requirements were included
during this assessment. Included in the facility rebuild assessment is the supervisory control
and data acquisition (SCADA) system to interface with the 34 sewer lift station pumps and
waste treatment at the facility. This facility with its labyrinth of connecting sewer lines, directly
serves 2667 City of Kodiak and Kodiak Borough households including commercial
businesses. The Treatment Plant also serves the U.S. Kodiak Coast Guard Base and the
Pacific Spaceport Complex indirectly with our certified laboratory testing and waste disposal;

not to mention NOAA vessels, the Alaska Marine Highway vessels and the expanding cruise
ship industry stopovers in our Kodiak Harbors.
The Kodiak Island Borough supports the City of Kodiak request for Federal funding in the
amount of $1.9M to begin design efforts leading to the construction of this critical infrastructure
Wastewater Treatment Plant project that will support the wastewater needs of the community
for the next twenty years.
• City of Larsen Bay Reservoir Spill Way
Estimated Project Cost $1,200,000
Funding Acquired $0
Needed Funds $1,200,000
The water reservoir spill way in the community of Larsen Bay is eroding and is nearing failure.
This reservoir provides drinking water and hydroelectric power to the residents in the second-
class city on Kodiak Island's west side. The Kodiak Island Borough supports the second-class
City of Larsen Bay's request for funding assistance.
• City of Port Lions Water Distribution System Replacement
Estimated Project Cost $8,000,000
Funding Acquired $0
Needed Funds $8,000,000
The original water and sewer distribution system for our community was built after the 1964 Good
Friday earthquake and tsunami forced the displaced residents of Afognak to relocate in what is
now known as Port Lions. In 1994 a new system was installed. However, the contractor did not
complete the job correctly. Many homes were not connected to the new system and many homes
were connected incorrectly. The now connected system is considered aged out because it is over
twenty-five (25) years old. The City of Port Lions Public Works crew consistently has a list of leaks
and blockages to repair. In some places the system is beyond repair. We are consistently over
budget for our water and sewer utility due to the unexpected expense of purchasing parts and
paying our crew to repair and replace section of the distribution system. The outdated system
drastically hinders community expansion efforts. The City of Port Lions are working closely with
the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) for replacement project to be included in
their funding pipeline as soon as possible.

The Kodiak Island Borough supports the City of Old Harbor's request for funding to Install a sewer
septic tank in downtown Old Harbor which is a second-class city within the Kodiak Island Borough.
• City of Port Lions Fire Station Insulation
Estimated Project Cost $35,000
Funding Acquired $0
Needed Funds $35,000
The fire station in the second-class City of Port Lions is not insulated which necessitates that the
fire truck be left empty of water during the winter months when temperatures drop below freezing
and limits the time and ability to respond to a fire related emergency. The City of Port Lions
requests funds for the purchase and installation of building insulation materials.
• Community of Karluk Water Tank Installation
Estimated Project Cost $250,000
Local Funds $0
Needed Funds $250,000
The water holding tank in the community of Karluk has been condemned by the DEC. The Karluk
IRA Tribal Council has a new water tank sitting in the Native Village of Karluk. The Kodiak Island
Borough supports this request for funds to install the water tank for the water distribution to this
community that lies within the Kodiak Island Borough.
• Service Area Road Improvements and Paving
Estimated Project Cost $10,000,000
Local Funds $1,000,000
Needed Funds $9,000,000
This project addresses the on-going need to improve portions of the roads in the Kodiak Island
Borough's Road service areas: Service Area No. 1, Womens Bay Service Area, Bay View Road
Service Area, and Monashka Bay Road Service Area. These roads 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.
Priorities for expenditure of these funds are determined by the road service area boards. 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.
