A RESOLUTION OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH ASSEMBLY
ADOPTING A FEDERAL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
FOR THE FISCAL YEARS 2008 -2012
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 six main projects to submit to the
Alaska Congressional Delegation for funding consideration.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND
BOROUGH THAT:
Section 1: The Kodiak Island Borough's top six federal capital improvement project priorities
for fiscal years 2008 -2012 are as follows:
$13,200,000
$ 6,540,000
Locating a new Alaska Department of Fish and Game building on Near Island in Kodiak and
adjacent to its existing federal counterpart facility will have many advantages; information
sharing is just one. And this is important as research on the resources injured during the
Exxon Valdez Oil Spill continues. However, the real justification for this new building are the
shortcomings found in the existing 1973 era ADF &G building as identified in the a
"Condition Survey" performed in 2002. In the report it is demonstrated that there is a need
for additional space (approximately 60% more), which includes basic lab space. Though the
estimated cost of construction of this new facility is estimated to be $13,200,000 the KIB will
be requesting through the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill (EVOS) Trustee Council an amount
associated strictly for the space dedicated for research purposes only. That space is
roughly 50% of the total space of this facility. The state of Alaska has dedicated $3,150,000
toward the project to date.
2. Feasibility Study — Island Wide Comprehensive Transportation Plan
Total cost of the project $250,000
Federal Funding Requested $125,000
This feasibility study will examine comprehensively the transportation needs of the rural
communities on the island. It will look at air, road and marine transportation networks and
make recommendations for logical and economical development. Infrastructure
improvements are important in developing private enterprise in these communities and
making these locations sustainable communities. These rural transportation services can be
an extension of existing air and ferry services based in the Kodiak Community. Such a
study is of major significance since freight and bulk fuel delivery companies have recently
ended service to the rural communities of Kodiak Island.

3. Anton Larsen Dock (design, repair and construction)
Total cost of the project
Federal Funding Requested
$1,000,000
$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. During the summer it is also used by charter
boats and sports and commercial fishermen.
It was originally constructed as a supply dock for work associated with the Terror Lake
Hydroelectric Project. Instead of dismantling the dock upon the completion of the dam, the
Borough became interested in it. This interest resulted from the boating public's desire for a
safer route to the community of Kodiak through Anton Larsen Bay. A road leads to the City
of Kodiak form this dock. The potential risk to loss of life and property is huge when
navigating around Spruce Cape. Spruce Cape is one of the most dangerous stretches of
water on Kodiak Island and many people risk navigating around this cape to receive
essential services. The KIB improved the dock in 1995 by driving piles and refurbishing the
floating dock structure. Much more needs to be done to replace the dock and piles and
design an improvement to this important facility.
4. Womens Bay Emergency Shelter
Total cost of the project $1,200,000
Federal Funding Requested $800,000
There is no emergency shelter in the Womens Bay Community. Womens Bay is located 8
miles from town and 2 miles from the USCG Support Center. Should there be a tsunami
that destroys the roads, or a rock slide at the Pillar Mountain slide area or the Old Womens
Mountain site, 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 House.
This existing building acts as a community gathering center, but there is presently no
additional space to respond to shelter needs in times of crises. A proposed 2,500 square
foot addition with an emergency generator is proposed at a cost of $1,200,000.
5. Kodiak Roads
Total cost of the project $4,000,000
Federal Funding Requested $2,500,000
Many of the roads on Kodiak are composed of compacted gravel topped off with finer
material. The local material utilized for road construction is mudstone that breaks down into
finer material after being compressed by traffic, road maintenance and snow removal. This
material presents a continuous struggle to maintain in a rainy climate, resulting pot holes
and drainage repair are frequent and common issues. Also, there is a desire to pave major
local roads with asphalt to eliminate the hazardous wind borne haze caused by dust. The
cost of asphalt alone for these roads is $200 /ton; this price does not include engineering,
road preparation and improved drainage needed prior to paving these roads.

6. Baranof Park Improvements
Total cost for the project: $5,000,000
State Funding Request. $2,500,000
This project will replace the aging track, field drainage, and bleacher area in Baranof Park.
The track is the only track located in the Kodiak region. In -field improvements will include a
synthetic surface for multi - purpose use and a "D" zone for field events. In addition, a
synthetic surface is planned for the second multi - purpose field located in the Park. Baranof
Park is a regional recreational facility that serves not only City residents, but the entire
region. The park serves as an important educational facility for both Kodiak Middle School
and Kodiak High School, neither of which have any other outdoor educational facilities
Improvements to Baranof Park are estimated to cost $5 million, with at least half the cost of
these improvements attributed to Kodiak Island Borough School District use of the facility.
The City of Kodiak is moving forward with the development of detailed engineering plans
and bid specifications for these needed improvements. The community is requesting
funding support for half the estimated cost of constructing these important community and
school district facilities.
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.
