WHEREAS, the State of Alaska ferry M/V Tustemena provides scheduled service between
Homer and Kodiak, Alaska and communities westward from Kodiak including Chignik, Sand
Point, King Cove, Cold Bay, False Pass, Akutan, and Unalaska; and
WHEREAS, enhanced frequency of service to Kodiak and westward communities would
improve the regional economic development of southwestern Alaska; and
WHEREAS, the State of Alaska Department of Transportation has performed an economic
analysis of the re- routing of the M/V Tustemena improving cyclic service between Homer and
Kodiak and communities westward from Kodiak and that said economic analysis has
determined that discontinuance of service between Kodiak and Seward is appropriate and
enhanced frequency of service between Homer and westward Alaska communities is desirable.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH
that the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly requests the Alaska Department of Transportation
and Public Facilities to establish the homeport for the M/V Tustemena as Kodiak and increase
the frequency of service between Homer, Kodiak, Kodiak communities, and communities
along the Alaska Peninsula and Aleutian Islands as soon as practicable.
