Dear Mayor Ledoux,
We have been very busy working on behalf of your customers in the commercial fishing industry.
Your support in the past has helped UFA elevate the awareness of fisherman's needs in the halls of
government in Alaska and Washington. Some of our major efforts and accomplishments include
qualifying Alaska salmon for the USDA TAA program, increased government salmon purchases,
visas for Japanese roe technicians, and increased state and federal funding for Alaska seafood
marketing. Your support has helped UFA advance the recognition of your concerns among state and
federal government legislators and agencies, and we thank you.
Please help us continue by renewing your UFA Business membership today. Your business
membership includes free newsletter advertising, and we can also link your website from
www.ufa- fish.org. Please contact us to submit or update your current ad or web link. With your
support, we will be there to help your Alaska fishermen customers, and your business.
Thank you for your support,
l`itk � wtj

September 16, 2004
Managers Report for Work Session of October 19, 2004.
p EECERM[
OCT 1 9 2004
BOROUGH CLERK'S OFFICE
New Items:
State Airport MarkAir Building Offer:
Jim McMillan of AIDEA contacted me to let us know that the old MarkAir
terminal building has an offer from Wingspan Properties, LLC on it for $230,000 with
outside financing. It is unconfirmed what the intention of the potential buyers is although
air cargo and use of the aircraft hardstand are certainly part of it. It may still be possible
for KIB to enter into the transaction but the Manager would need authority to do so.
Failure to move forward at this time would jeopardize public air terminal project
identified in the Strategic Plan.
Hospital Kitchen Floor:
We are moving forward with a contract to reinstall the vinyl flooring that was
taken up during the drain repairs last year. This is a difficult task both technically and
logistically, as work has to take place when the kitchen staff is not working. We have
identified a local party who has the knowledge and experience necessary for this job and
look forward to its completion.
Shared Fisheries Business Tax:
You have in your mail a request from Mayor Nestic of Old Harbor that the City of
Kodiak and the Kodiak Island Borough contribute to the smaller communities the total of
our shared fisheries business taxes for this year to offset the current fiscal crisis in those
communities. With the exception of Larsen Bay, who receives revenues from the local
cannery via fish tax, the other communities received no State revenue sharing this year.
This has had a disproportionate impact on their finances and ability to provide even the

RE: Mission Lake Tide Gate
INTRODUCTION
I was asked by Judi to provide an update on the Mission Lake Tide Gate project to present to the Assembly at their
next meeting. Basically, we are close to bringing this project to the Assembly and awarding a contract for its
installation.
TIDE GATE INSTALLATION
The tide gate was advertised for bid. Three responses were received on October 8, 2004. We have recently evaluated
and reviewed the documents submitted by the bidder. Based on our review, Anderson Construction was the apparent
low bidder of the project with a cost of $52,530.00.
Prior to submitting the project to the Assembly for approval of a contract, the Mission Lake Tide Gate Service Area
Board wanted to have a public meeting with residents living in the tide gate service area boundary. The project will
be forward to the Assembly for formal approval after this community meeting.
This project has had a long history. What is important is that a marine engineer designed the new tide gate. It will
replace the existing tide gate that presently requires a substantial amount of attention and maintenance. The project,
thought simple on its face, is in fact a complicated project. It is complicated because of its location in the active tidal
area (during high tide, the level of the ocean is higher than the level of lake). It is also complicated because a
number of Federal and State agencies have jurisdiction over parts of the project and a full -blown agency review of
the project was required. That permit process has been recently concluded. That was the trigger to advertise the
project for construction.
OUTSTANDING ISSUES
The paramount issue important t... oia °nt o f the service district i h...,, th° cost of th° prnjPet will irnrrt the
taxes. The project is organized as a service area project and construction costs will be recovered through a property
tax increase to those owning property within the district.
CONCLUSION
Mission Lake provides a tremendous amount of summer and winter recreation. It is also serves as a floatplane base
for a number of folks having lakeside property. Installation of this tide gate will replace the original 1965 tide gate
that is failing quickly.

FROM: Manager
DATE: October 10, 2004
SUBJECT: Junk Vehicle Issues and Towing Contract.
FoEcEovE

BOROUGH CLERK'S OFFICE
I am writing this memo in order to clarify some of the various issues surrounding the junk
vehicle issue. The Assembly has before them a responsive bid from Rhino Towing to perform
towing services for the Borough over the next two years. The amount actually charged could be
nothing if the Borough were not to request any vehicles be towed. Part of this service includes
the legally required impound services for abandoned vehicles. This section is not optional and is
required before the Borough can exercise any further options.
Who tows the vehicles for the Borough is not tied to the issue of how much is charged
under the Assembly adopted fees for towing. This is one area that needs review, as the rate
charged by the Borough ($65.00) does not fully cover the costs associated with dealing with the
vehicle. The optional method of vehicle disposal is at the landfill at the rate of $75.00 per ton for
residential and $216.00 per ton for commercial vehicles. It is obvious that our current rate
structure is convoluted and confusing and needs analysis.
Many have expressed the concern that our current system does not encourage recycling
of parts prior to vehicle destruction and that is correct. However because of DMV rules the
ownership issue must be resolved before there is authority to touch the vehicle. Our current legal
process for illegal abandonment results in a $300 fine after effective prosecution. For a variety
of reasons this can be very difficult due in part to the way the State handles ownership transfers.
This is compounded by the State's easygoing method of title transfer that can make determining
the actual owner difficult at best.
At this point it is recommended that the Assembly move forward with awarding the
towing contract and direct staff to determine recommendations to solve the other issues.

They also request a copy of schedule A that was referred to in the contract.
The Assembly agreed they would like to get out of the junk car and appliance removal business and let a private
enterprise be responsible.
Manager Carlson said he would try to have the costs available by Thursday's regular meeting. He advise an
amendment may come before them at that regular meeting.

to Senator Murkowski and Senator Stevens for a replacement of INS Agent Tim Brady who was serving in Iraq.
She asked the Assembly to consider having the work sessions taped.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER COMMENTS
Assemblymember Heinrichs reported the In Kind Committee has concluded its business with a proposal that would
be coming before the Assembly and School District this week for both parties to adopt. He shared a Pollution
Prevention Program Report from the Coast Guard Base. The report showed the amount of recycling that they were
able to prevent going into the landfill.
Assemblymember Bonney does not want to be involved with the MarkAir building.
Assemblymember Wells supported Assemblymember Bonney' s comment, but would like the MarkAir building on
the work session agenda. She asked to have copies of the Notice of Violation for the Landfill and all supporting
documents, along with a tour. She suggested scheduling the strategic planning November 19 -20, 2004.

children. Assemblymember Wells asked Assemblymember Branson to provide the Assembly with the generic tool
to review Borough operations that was used by Providence.

would have come before the Assembly regarding the housing of the children before the bond issue of enlarging
Northstar would have been voted on. He voiced no action to the KEA vote on deregulation. He asked on what
Wingspan Properties, LLC plans are for the MarkAir building. He would like discussion on the Borough Attorneys
and how they want to work with the Borough.
Assemblymember Ranney agreed with everyone' s comments. He said modification to the strategic plan would need
to take place. He thanked Robin for the recycling report.
Mayor LeDoux adjourned the work session at 8:44 pm
