A RESOLUTION OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH ASSEMBLY
ADOPTING A FEDERAL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
FOR THE FISCAL YEARS 2007 -2011
WHEREAS, a federal capital improvement program has been adopted by the Kodiak Island Borough
Assembly that identifies the needs of the community over the next five (5) years; and
WHEREAS, the Kodiak Island Borough has identified five main projects to submit to the Alaska
Congressional Delegation for funding consideration;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND
BOROUGH that:
Section 1: The Kodiak Island Borough's top five federal capital improvement project priorities for
fiscal years 2007 -2011 are as follows:
1. Kodiak Near Island Research and Administration Facility $5,625,000
Locating a new Alaska Department of Fish and Game building on Near Island and adjacent to its
federal sister counterpart will have many obvious advantages, information sharing being just one.
However, the real justification for a new facility is due to the deficiencies found in the existing ADF &G
building. These deficiencies have been identified in the ASCG "Condition Survey' performed in 2002.
A similar report called a "Needs Assessment" demonstrates there is need for additional space
(approximately 60% more that currently is found in the existing building) to operate viable programs
performed by the local ADF &G office. Of particular importance is the need for basic laboratory space
that is no longer found in the existing building. Though the cost of the construction of a new facility is
estimated to be $9,000,000, the large amount of the f i anticipated to be appropriated b the
9 � P by
State of Alaska. KIB will be requesting federal money through the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill (EVOS)
Trustee Council in an amount based upon the amount of space dedicated in the new building for
research. Conceptual plans demonstrate that research space in this new building makes up
approximately 50% of the total space of this facility.
2. Kodiak Landfill Lateral Expansion /Close Out of Existing Footprint $6,281,485
The costs to operate and manage a landfill on an island in the North Pacific are substantial and
alternatives are limited. Kodiak is one of the busiest commercial fishing and processing ports in the
nation and having a landfill is vital piece of infrastructure that is important to the local economy. This
federal CIP request is for the closure of the existing footprint as well as the construction of the lateral
expansion area.
The existing landfill footprint is nearing capacity and the construction of an adjacent lateral expansion
(Phase 3) is anticipated to occur in the next few years. Closing the existing cell requires installation of
waterproof and geotextile membranes as well as final shaping of the tomb. Landfill gases and
leachate must be collected and /or vented for a period of thirty years after closure. Final slopes must
also be monitored and maintained. All costs are to be borne by local government. Cost of closure and
post closure costs is $3,804,164 (2006 dollars)
This lateral expansion area will be a 6 -8 -acre cell that is expected to last 9 —12 years before reaching
capacity. KIB has worked with the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation's Municipal
Grants and Loans Program in an effort to secure funding an engineering and design loan for the
lateral expansion.

Expansion costs are anticipated to be per acre are estimated at $63,355 for site preparation and
$244,852 for a liner and leachate collection system. Engineering /Design costs are estimated at
$316,777. Total capital cost for the projects is estimated to be $6,281,485.
3. Anton Larsen Boat Floating Dock $1,000,000
The Anton Larsen Floating Dock is located 18 miles from the town of Kodiak. it is a facility that is
heavily used by residents of the rural communities of Port Lions, and Ouzinkie, as well as those living
on the island's west side who access the City of Kodiak by watercraft or plane. During the summer it
is also used by charter boats, sports and commercial fishermen.
The dock was originally constructed to load materials used for the construction of the Terror Lake
Hydroelectric Project — a remote dam project. Instead of dismantling the dock upon the completion of
dam, the Borough became interested in managing it for public purposes. This interest resulted from
the public's concern for a safe alternative to access Kodiak by watercraft, other than risking loss of life
and property by traveling around a dangerous stretch of water called Spruce Cape. Because many of
the island's residents and commercial fisherman rely on the medical services as well as other retail
service found in the City of Kodiak, many folks consider this safe alternative crucial. The KIB improved
the existing dock in 1995 by driving piles and refurbishing the floating dock structure which has found
to be undersized.
4. Chiniak Tsunami Center Expansion Project $275,000
The community of Chiniak is located approximately 40 miles from the City of Kodiak. There is a need
for an emergency shelter in times of crises. Phase I of an evacuation center was completed in 1990.
There is a need for an addition to the existing structure. Though originally designed to be a larger
facility, funding only allowed for Phase I construction. This federal funding request would complete
the design of an addition, as well as upgrade the water system and backup generator. Presently the
shelter also serves a dual purpose, acting as the communitys library and community center.
5. Womens Bay Emergency Shelter $600,000
There is no emergency shelter in the Womens Bay Community. Womens Bay is located 8 miles from
town and 2 miles from the USGC Support Center. Should there be a tsunami or storm tide that
destroys the tidewater road, the community of 670 residents would be without support services. A
logical location for an emergency shelter is adjacent and attached to the Womens Bay Fire
Department. This existing building acts as the community center for the Womens Bay community;
however there is no additional space to respond to sheltering needs in times of crises. A proposed
2,500 square foot addition with an emergency generator is proposed at a cost of$600,000.
Section 2: The Kodiak Island Borough administration is hereby instructed to advise Congress
and the appropriate agencies of the United States Federal Government of the Capital
Improvement Program and priorities adopted by the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly.
