A RESOLUTION OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH ASSEMBLY SUPPORTING
SENIOR CITIZENS OF KODIAK, INC. LEGISLATIVE CAPITAL REQUESTS
WHEREAS, the Senior Citizens of Kodiak, Inc. (SCOK) is the first nationally accredited senior
center in Alaska and has involved, enriched, and empowered seniors in Kodiak since becoming
incorporated in 1973; and
WHEREAS, SCOK houses a wide variety of programs in lifelong learning, fitness, arts,
recreation, adult day and family care giver programs at the center; and
WHEREAS, with all the programs at the center, it is vital to keep a safe and active environment
for the participants; and
WHEREAS, there is a safety issue that needs to be addressed. The facility's original sprinkler
system from 1985 has been repaired many times and now needs to be completely replaced; and
WHEREAS, the safety issue becomes even greater with many participants with dementia and
some who are in wheelchairs; and
WHEREAS, the facility's original cedar lap siding from 1985, which has been maintained but is
cracking, warping and shrinking, needs to be replaced; and
WHEREAS, present data collection on seniors and each service they receive is required by the
State of Alaska and Federal Government, is done manually and is tedious and not efficient; and
WHEREAS, MySeniorCenter is an efficient data collection system that is used successfully by
many senior centers across the country;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND
BOROUGH that the Kodiak Island Borough hereby supports Senior Citizens of Kodiak, Inc. 2010
Legislative Capital Request to replace the facility's fire sprinkler system, lap cedar siding, and
purchase MySeniorCenter program in order to maintain a safe and active environment for the
