A RESOLUTION URGING THE EXXON VALDEZ OIL SPILL TRUSTEE COUNCIL
TO ACQUIRE CERTAIN SMALL PARCELS
WITHIN THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH
AS PART OF THE SMALL PARCEL ACQUISITION PROGRAM
WHEREAS, the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council has determined that
acquisition of certain high value and special merit small parcels of land should be
acquired as part of the overall restoration process resulting from the Exxon Valdez oil
spill; and
WHEREAS, many more parcels have been nominated and identified for consideration
than can possibly be bought with the available funds by the Trustee Council; and
WHEREAS, the Kodiak Island Borough has worked with the area's federal, state and
local agencies that have an interest in restoration of the fish, marine mammal, bird,
and wildlife species that were impacted by the oil spill, and in that process has been
able to define and identify critical habitat areas of property which have special merit
value for the injured resources or services; and
WHEREAS, many of the parcels that have been identified in this process of the
Kodiak Island Borough working with the various agencies include outstanding
wilderness areas, outstanding subsistence and recreational value areas, necessity for
commercial fisheries habitat or management, outstanding critical habitat areas for the
various species of birds and animals, and outstanding estuary areas for species
protection for the future health of the ecosystem; and
WHEREAS, many of these outstanding parcels have the multiple feature of being
critical access areas for the larger parcels which have been acquired by the Exxon
Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council through the large parcel acquisition process; and
WHEREAS, it is extremely difficult to identify the most important parcels meriting
acquisition without having first hand knowledge of these areas, having lived in the
Kodiak Island Borough area, and understanding the inter - relationships of the parcels
and the importance of their multiple features which are deserving of special merit for
consideration of purchase; and
