AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. 13.6.1
Resolution No. FY2006 -23
Identifying the Retrofit of the Kodiak Middle School as the Borough's Number 1 Project
for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Pre - disaster Mitigation Funding and
Committing to a 25 Percent Local Match.
Summary:
The Borough has hired consultants to review the ability of our schools to withstand a significant
earthquake. Their review has demonstrated that a number of our facilities would not fare well.
As part of the contract included an estimate of the cost to cure these seismic deficiencies as
well as the filing of applications to FEMA in an attempt acquire funding to retrofit these
structures.
FEMA has a program that funds the strengthening of structures before an event to lessen the
building's damage and to lessen risks to the public. Known as the Pre - Disaster Mitigation (PDM)
program, this is a competitive grant program which pays for 75% of the costs to repair a facility,
but also requires a local contribution of 25% of the repair cost.
As part of the application process to FEMA to secure funds for a retrofitting these schools is the
requirement that the local government obligate itself to co -fund the project. This resolution
covers that requirement.
FEMA has not obligated as much money to the program as has been the case in past years.
Because of this, it has been recommended by the consultant that we select one project out of
our list of projects. The middle school retrofit has been selected because of the exposure to a
large number of students as well as its large cost to repair.

1.0 Introduction
This report describes a Seismic Vulnerability Assessment for all of the Kodiak Island
Borough school buildings. This report is labeled draft, and will be revised to reflect
comments and additional information yet to be finalized.
1.1 Executive Summary
A Seismic Vulnerability Assessment was performed of the Kodiak Island Borough school
buildings. The assessment included all the buildings for 13 schools as well as the
Learning Center. Several of the schools include multiple buildings, and each building was
included in the assessment.
For each site / building, we evaluated six seismic hazards: ground shaking, surface
faulting, liquefaction, tsunami, landslide and differential settlement. Given these seismic
hazards, we evaluated how each building might perform in various size earthquakes.
The geologic hazard studies show that the level of earthquake motion that should be used
for design of new facilities, to modern (2005) standards, should be about 18% to 40%
larger than what was used for the design of most of the schools built since the mid- 1960s.
The 18% increase would reflect design using the seismic concepts in the Uniform
Building Code (1997), which are set at providing for life safety for earthquakes that occur
once every 475 years. The 40% increase would reflect design for even rarer earthquakes,
as would be required if KIB adopts the latest provisions of the International Building
Code, which are set at designing for life safety for 2/3 of an earthquake that might occur
once every 2,475 years.
For those buildings where we recommend structural seismic upgrades, the upgrades
should be designed to meet the intent of providing life safety service for earthquakes that
occur once every 475 years.
For construction of future new buildings, we recommend that the higher standard (2/3 of
2,475 year earthquake) be used. This should provide immediate occupancy for the
buildings should a 475 -year earthquake occur, while still providing life safety reliability
in the larger but rarer event.
For most of the buildings, the existing structural systems were designed with a reasonable
capability to resist medium to quite Large earthquakes. However, for portions of the three
oldest buildings (Middle School, Ouzinkie, Peterson), we found there were significant
deficiencies in the existing lateral force resisting system, such that a structural upgrade
appears warranted. We also found some deficiencies at the High School Library Wing
and Gym, largely through strength and stiffness discontinuities that were apparently
overlooked in the original design.
In addition, we found that at essentially every school that there are a number of non-
structural components that require anchorage or bracing. These components range from
furnaces, heating and ventilation equipment, water tanks, library bookshelves, suspended
ceilings, windows, etc. The cost to upgrade the essential items needed for building
services is $363,000. The cost to upgrade suspended ceilings just over main egress areas

would be an additional $302,000. The cost to upgrade all suspended ceilings would be
$1,189,000. The cost of upgrading suspended ceilings has not been included in Table 1 -1.
The complete seismic upgrade program would cost $3,087,675 ($2006). Table 1 -1
summarizes the costs and benefits and the Benefit Cost Ratios (BCR) for the
recommended upgrades.
Table 1 - 1. Summary of Recommended Seismic Upgrades and BCRs
We performed a series of benefit cost analyses, to examine how cost effective it is to
perform the above upgrades. Using a discount rate of 7 %, and applying the FEMA-
approved methodologies to perform such analyses, we found that the BCR varies from
1.02 to 9.59 for the recommended six projects when ranked individually, or 5.09 when
considered as one large project. Any project with a Benefit Cost Ratio of 1 or larger is
deemed cost effective on an economic basis; in other words, the capital cost spent today
is less than the benefits accrued from reduction in building damage, injury to people and
other economic impacts from all future earthquakes, over the remaining lifetime of the
schools.
It is our opinion that all of the above listed projects are eligible for co- funding under
FEMA's Pre- Disaster Mitigation program. We therefore recommend that KIB consider
submitting a proposal to FEMA under its PDM -C 2006 program. The availability of
funds under FEMA's 2006 program are uncertain due to the recent Hurricane Katrina,
and it is possible that FEMA will not have sufficient funds in 2006 for all eligible
projects.
Should co- funding from FEMA not be available under the FEMA 2006 PDM program,
we recommend that KIB still implement all of the above projects, as soon as funds are
available. The work should be prioritized to do early implementation of the projects with
the highest BCRs, consistent with permitting, and coordinated with complementary
operations and maintenance projects. All work should be completed by 2015 (ten years),
reflecting the ongoing risk to the community. If resources are available, it is possible that
all upgrades could be completed in four years (by end of summer 2009).
' Includes relocation costs during construction.
2 Budget would be based on rounded figures to the nearest $1000.

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 1 '
BOROUGH that: �o
Section 1: The Kodiak Island Borough's top five federal capital improvement project priorities for 9'
fiscal years 2007 -2011 are as follows: (_dry
1. Kodiak Near Island Research and Administration Facility $4,500,000 $,h
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 funding is anticipated to be appropriated by the
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.
Kodiak Island Borough Alaska Resolution No. FY2006 -24
Page 1 of 2
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 tshermen.
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 altemative 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.

A RESOLUTION OF THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH
ADOPTING A FEDERAL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
FOR THE FISCAL YEARS 2006 -2010
WHEREAS, a federal capital improvement program has been adopted by the Kodiak Island Borough
Assembly that identifies the needs of the community for 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 RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH that:
Section 1: The Kodiak Island Borough's top three federal capital improvement project priorities for
fiscal years 2006 -2010 are as follows:
1. Kodiak /Kenai Fiber Optic Cable S14,500,000
The construction of a fiber optic cable linking Kodiak with Anchorage and the world would support
new economic development in an area where our primary economic sector, commercial fishing, is
experience a downturn. The benefits of cable over satellite include greater reliability, secure
transmission, and additional capacity to serve the local economy as well as provide a secure and
reliable system for the Kodiak's Rocket Launch Facility
2. Kodiak Near Island Research and Administration Facility $4,480,000
Locating a new Alaska Department of Fish and Game building on Near Island and adjacent to its federal
counterpart will have many obvious advantages. Information sharing is just one. But the real crux of the
justification for this new building is the shortcomings found in the existing ADF &G building as identified in
the ASCG "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 cost of
construction of a new facility is estimated to be $8,000,000, the KIB will be requesting through the Exxon
Valdez Oil Spill (EVOS) Trustee Council an amount associated with research space only. That space is
approximately 56% of the total space of this facility. The estimated cost to repair the existing ADF &G
building is projected to be $1.5 million dollars. Even with completion of these improvements, the building
does not provide the space needed by the organization.
3. Kodiak Landfill - Lateral Expansion /Close Out of Existing Footprint $6,754,585
The costs to operate and manage a landfill on an island in the North Pacific are substantial. But
alternatives are limited. As one of the busiest commercial fishing and processing ports in the nation,
having a functioning landfill is a vital piece of infrastructure and important to the focal economy.
Construction of the landfill's lateral expansion (Phase 3) is planned to occur in the next few years.
Initial preparation for the lateral expansion area began in 1998/1999. It is anticipated that use of the
lateral expansion area will occur approximately one year before the existing landfill reaches capacity.
The lateral expansion site is a maximum eight -acre cell with an estimated nine to twelve year
capacity. It will be constructed immediately east of the existing landfill and utilize some of the
existing infrastructure.
Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska
Resolution No. FY2005 -14
Page 1 of 2
Expansion costs per acre are estimated at $61 ,213 for site preparation and $244,852 for a liner and
leachate collection system. Engineering /Design costs are estimated at $306,000. Total capital cost
for the projects is estimated to be $6,754,585 for this 8 -acre cell.
4. Anton Larsen Boat Floating Dock $500,000
The Anton Larsen Floating Dock is located 18 miles from town. It is a facility that is heavily used by
residents of the communities of Port Lions, and Ouzinkie as well as those living on the island's west
side. During the summer it is 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 from 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 improve this important facility.
5. Chiniak Tsunami Center Expansion Project $250,000
The community of Chiniak is located almost 40 miles from the City of Kodiak. There is a need for an
emergency shelter in time of a crisis. Phase I of the construction of the evacuation center was
completed in 1990, but there is a need for an addition to the existing structure. Though designed to
be a larger facility, funding for its entire construction never materialized. This funding would
complete the design of an addition, as well as upgrade the present water system and backup
generator. Presently the shelter also serves a dual purpose acting as the community's library and
community center.
6. Womens Bay Emergency Shelter $575,000
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 that destroys the
roads, or a rock slide at the Pillar Mountain slide area or the 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 sheltering needs in times of
a crisis. A proposed 2,500 square foot addition with an emergency generator is proposed at a cost
of $575,000.

Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Pre - Disaster Mitigation Plan
Submission to the Alaska Department of Homeland Security.
Summary:
Kodiak Island Borough
AGENDA STATEMENT
/3.84
Item No. 1.8.r
The Kodiak Island Borough has under contract, a firm to review the ability of our school facilities to
withstand seismic ground motion. This work has shown that a number of our educational buildings are
in need of reinforcement work. One of the tasks outlined in the existing contract is to prepare an
application to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for a Pre - Disaster Mitigation Seismic
Project Grant. These applications are being completed by Mr. Ken Goettel of Goettel and Associates, Inc.
This funding, if approved, will provide up to 75% of the cost to repair and reinforce our structures. But
to be eligible for the award of this money, a FEMA approved "Pre- Disaster Mitigation Plan" must already
be approved and in place. At this time the Kodiak Island Borough does not have a pre- disaster mitigation
plan in place.
The assembly awarded a sole source contract for the completion of a Pre - Disaster Mitigation Plan to
Goettel & Associates Inc. To qualify for the Pre - Disaster Mitigation Seismic Project Grants there is an
urgent need to complete the planning process as soon as possible.
The Alaska Department of Homeland Security requires the local governing body to formally recognize the
final plan before the state will consider a formal review. Once approved by the state, the plan will then
be reviewed and approved by FEMA. Once FEMA has approved the plan, the final planning document
will be forwarded to the Borough Assembly for formal approval which would complete this portion of the
process.

Requested by: Assembly
Introduced: 01/19/2006
Adopted:
A RESOLUTION OF THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH
APPOINTING A GULF OF ALASKA GROUNDFISH RATIONALIZATION TASK FORCE
WHEREAS, the harvesting and processing sectors of the Kodiak fishing community are engaged in
and substantially dependent upon the Gulf of Alaska (Gulf) groundfish fisheries; and
WHEREAS, Kodiak's economic and social health is intimately dependent upon the community's
sustained participation in all aspects of Gulf groundfish fisheries; and
WHEREAS, the City of Kodiak has made substantial infrastructure investments in support of and in
reliance upon the Gulf groundfish fishery, such as water system expansion and improvement and port
and harbor expansion and improvement; and
WHEREAS, the North Pacific Fishery Management Council has developed a suite of fishery allocation
alternatives for the Gulf of Alaska groundfish fisheries, and is working toward adoption of a preferred
alternative for implementation; and
WHEREAS, allocating exclusive harvesting and /or processing privileges promotes consolidation in
the fishing fleet and the processor sector, which can improve efficiency, but can also result in
skippers, crew members and processing workers bearing the costs of consolidation without fully
sharing in the related benefits; and
WHEREAS, while rationalization can create opportunities and incentives to produce more and higher
value products, it can also change the distribution of fishery revenues among participants by altering
the balance of market power between fishermen and processors, with potentially disruptive effects on
the communities in which they live; and
WHEREAS, by awarding harvesting and /or processing privileges, fishery allocations make possible
orderly harvesting and processing, but can also facilitate the migration of landings to communities
with infrastructure advantages (such as road system access) and create barriers to entry for later
generations of fishery participants; and
WHEREAS, it is essential that the potential adverse affects of Gulf groundfish rationalization be
identified and analyzed, and that adjustments be made to mitigate the potential adverse effects of
Gulf groundfish rationalization on Kodiak prior to implementation; and
WHEREAS, it is in the interest of the City of Kodiak and the Kodiak Island Borough to facilitate a full,
and frank exchange of information and opinions conceming Gulf groundfish rationalization among the
constituencies of the community that will be most directly affected by such program, if adopted, and to
facilitate, to the extent possible, development of consensus among those constituencies concerning
the preferred elements and options of such program.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH ASSEMBLY
REZONING US SURVEY 3471 LOT F1 FROM RR -1 RURAL RESIDENTIALONE ZONING
TO RNC -RURAL NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERICAL (P &Z CASE 03 -020)
WHEREAS, the petitioner for this rezone has indicated a desire to develop on subject parcel; and
WHEREAS, the P & Z Commission held a public hearing on December 21 2005 br this case; and
WHEREAS, the Commission finds the rezone request to be generally consistent with the 1987 Chiniak Area
Comprehensive Plan, as amended; and
WHEREAS, the Commission recommends that the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly rezone US Survey
3471 Lot F1 from RR -1 Rural Residential One Zoning District to RNC — Rural Neighborhood Commercial,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH
THAT:
Section 1: This ordinance is not of general application and shall not be codified.
Section 2: US Survey 3471 Lot F1 from RR -1 Rural Residential One Zoning District to RNC — Rural
Neighborhood Commercial.
Section 3: Proposed Effective Clause: Prior to the RNC -Rural Neighborhood zone becoming effective
for Lot 1, U.S. Survey 3471, the petitioner shall demonstrate to the KIB Community
Development Department that the upper portion of the property has legal and physical
access by a driveway that complies with Borough Code.
Section 4: The findings of the Kodiak Island Borough Planning and Zoning Commission are hereby
confirmed as follows:
17.72.020 A. Findings as to the Need and Justification for a Change or Amendment.
The lot is located in an area designated for commercial development in the 1987 Chiniak
Area Comprehensive Plan. The Chiniak Post Office use, although contractual, fits well with
the narrative description in the plan which describes commercial use areas that support of
the needs of Chiniak residents or which are oriented towards recreation and tourism related
business. The petitioner has requested the rezone in order to bring the property into
conformity with the existing Post Office use and to allow for future commercial use of the site
should the Post Office ever be closed or moved.
There are no other commercially zoned parcels in the Chiniak community at the present time.
The 1987 plan has designated the vicinity of the Chiniak Post Office and "Road's End" to be
commercial since adoption, however no prior rezones have ever been processed for Chiniak
prior to the two cases initiated in 2003. Other commercial uses in the area tend to fall in the
category of nonconforming use or zoning violation.
The proposed rezone will not create any nonconforming land uses or structures. Although
there appear to be some pre- existing nonconformities on the site, the setback requirements
for the RNC -Rural Neighborhood Commercial zone are identical to the setbacks required in
the RR1 -Rural Residential One zoning district.

The Chiniak Post Office area is also designated on the plan map accompanying the narrative plan
description. Based on this information, the proposed rezone would generally support the objectives the

"Business areas have been identified in areas close to but not in conflict with
the designated residential areas. The business areas have been identified for
two general types of functions: small local business to serve the Chiniak area,
and recreation /tourist oriented businesses to take advantage of the scenic and
recreational qualities of the area. The designated business areas provide
somewhat of a buffer between the designated residential areas and the area
designated for marine industrial uses. The two locations selected for this
planning category are in the vicinity of the existing post office and the "Road's
End ". Future business development (other than home occupations) should be
located in these two areas, creating "nodes" of development rather than "strip"
development."

COMMENTS
This request was last reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission on November 19, 2003.
At that meeting, the case was postponed until the Chiniak Area Comprehensive Plan was
considered for revision and re- adoption. While several meetings have been held with local
Chiniak residents towards that end, the direction of the plan update process changed during the
last borough budget cycle to include the Chiniak plan element as part of a larger borough wide
planning effort. This had the effect of further delaying the completion of the Chiniak plan
because of it's inclusion in a much larger scale planning project.
Based on a number of public enquiries relating to rezone requests that have been postponed in
the last two years, staff notified the petitioners for these cases in order to determine if they would
like to move forward with their request under the current comprehensive plan, continue to wait
for a new plan or request a refund. On October 31, 2005, the petitioner in this case requested to
resume the case review before the Planning and Zoning Commission based on the 1987 Chiniak
Area Comprehensive Plan.
The bulk of this staff report is based upon the original staff report presented in November 2003.
At that time staff was pre- disposed towards a recommendation of postponement and did not all
issues of the site suitability that were presented in the case file. In this current review, staff will
provide a more thorough review of the applicable issues for the Commission and ultimately the
Assembly's consideration.
This request is intended to investigate the rezone of Lot 1, U.S. Survey 3471 from RR1 -Rural
Residential One to RNC -Rural Neighborhood Commercial. This request was originally initiated
by the property owner as a result of the discussion about the possible rezone of Lot 2, U.S.
Survey 4935 and Lot 2 Isthmus Bay Subdivision (Case 03 -010). The Commission postponed
action on related case 03 -010 until after the Chiniak Area Comprehensive Plan could be
reviewed and perhaps updated.
The petitioner's property is located at the west end of Chiniak, near Thumbs -Up Cove. Lot 1,
U.S. Survey 3471 has been the location of the Local contract station for the U.S. Postal Service
since before the 1987 Chiniak Area Comprehensive Plan was completed. The petitioner desires
to have this request considered under the 1987 Chiniak Area Comprehensive Plan, which
designates the vicinity of Lot 1 for commercial development.
Case 03- 020 /Staff Report Revised Updated
Page 4 of 7 P & Z: December 21, 2005
Staff has not made a site visit for this case, relying instead on the submittal of the petitioner and
other file information located in the department. The petitioner has submitted a written narrative,
however, explaining the reasoning for the request. In addition, the petitioner's packet contains
some older as-built information in the form of a preliminary plat (reduction copy) that was
produced 15 years ago.
CONFORMANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The requested zoning change appears to be generally consistent with the intent and policies of the
Chiniak Area Comprehensive Plan (1987). The Chiniak Area Comprehensive Plan identifies two
Business Areas and one Business Reserve. The designated Business Areas are located in the
vicinity of Road's End and the Chiniak Post Office, which is currently located on Lot 1, U.S.
Survey 3471. The Business Reserve Area is designated between Roslyn River and Twin Creeks,
geographically central to the Chiniak community, which is spread out in a linear fashion along
about six (6) miles of the Chiniak Highway.
The plan appears to be based upon the pattem of development existing at the time the plan was
adopted prior to 1987. The two Business Areas are located at the extreme ends of the Chiniak
planning area. The Business Reserve area is located approximately equal distance from the
designated Business Areas, and is physically separated by about Y4 mile from the nearest
residential development in existence at the time the plan was adopted.
ZONING/USE:
The RNC -Rural Neighborhood Commercial district requires a two (2) acre minimum lot area,
which can be met by the 3.39 acre area of Lot 1, U.S. Survey 3471. In addition, the list of
permitted and conditional uses provides a good fit with the existing use pattern and does not
appear to create any nonconforming use or structure situations that are not already pre- existing.
The RNC -Rural Neighborhood Commercial district appears to provide the best balance between
the use recommendations of the Chiniak Plan and the lot size requirements for onsite well and
septic systems in support of commercial and residential uses present on the petitioner's site.
LAND SUITABILITY:
Public Hearing Item VI -A
Lots 1 U.S. Survey 3471 appears to be suitable for the uses currently existing within the proposed
rezone area. The Commission may want the petitioners to certify that onsite wells and septic
systems are constructed to the appropriate ADEC standards. Of more concern to staff however,
is the long winding driweway that loops up to the residential portion of the property. This
driveway is located on adjacent land and the preliminary plat information indicated neither
driveway slope nor ownership.
While there is good access to the contract Post Office building from the Chiniak Highway, the
level graded area associated with that use is rather small. The preliminary plat indicates some
fairly steep topography behind this building which may or may not preclude the construction of
borough compliant driveway. In addition, should the petitioner's desire to place commercial uses
in the vicinity of the existing residential enclave, the parking code requires a driveway width of
24 feet to accommodate two -way traffic. At a minimum, staff recommends an effective clause to
Case 03- 020 /Staff Report Revised Updated Page 5 of 7 P & Z: December 21, 2005
require the property owner to demonstrate legal as well as physical access to the upper portion of
the property that is capable of sustaining a commercial access drive should new commercial
development be proposed in the higher elevations of Lot 1. In addition, it may also be prudent to
have the petitioner provide a driveway plan showing that a driveway can be constructed (either in
an easement or located on the site, that can meet the driveway slope requirements of the Borough
Code.
RECENT DEVELOPMENT TRENDS IN THE AREA:
Other than the winery and associated gift shop that were the focus of Case 03 -010, it appears that
new residential uses are the only recent development trend in the Chiniak area. Other trends may
be observed by residents and landowners with more intimate knowledge of the area. There are a
number of grandfathered (nonconforming) uses in the area that are still being operated such as
the bakery operated in Chiniak that was grandfathered on a residential lot. Staff does not have
much current information on the status of these grandfathered uses, however.
TRAFFIC IMPACTS:
It would appear that the traffic impacts of the postal station and the single - family residence are
already existing and that the change of zoning in and of itself will not affect this. Future
development or expansion of uses under the RNC zoning district may result in an increase in
traffic, however, the property has direct access to the Chiniak Highway which is classified as a
major arterial/highway and can be expected to handle much greater traffic than it currently
experiences.
Staff recommends that the Commission forward this request to the Kodiak Island Borough
Assembly with a recommendation for approval, subject to one effective clause to provide
additional driveway access information.
Move to approve Case 03 -020, a rezone investigation in accordance with KIBC 17.72.030
(Manner of Initiation), of Lot 1, US Survey 3471 from RR1 -Rural Residential One to RNC -Rural
Neighborhood Commercial, and forward this case to the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly with a
recommendation for approval subject to one effective clause, and to adopt the findings contained
in this staff report in support of this recommendation.
Proposed Effective Clause:

APPROPRIATE MOTION
Public Hearing Item VI -A

my home and the Chiniak Post Office are located on. I have no plans for changing the
use of the property or the buildings but I would like to get the zoning change to have
the property zoning match its current usage. I also want to protect my right to use the
post office building for some other enterprise if the U.S. Postal Service were to close
the Community Post Office as part of a cost saving initiative. (To my knowledge no
such closure is currently planned.)
The Chiniak Post Office is not owned by, or leased to, the U.S. Postal Service. I own
the building and lot and I am paid to provide mail services specified in a contract. The
Postal Service does not control the use of the building other than its usage cannot
conflict with the terms of my contract to provide mail service.
In the past my wife used the building as an art studio and sold her artwork from the
building. It is my understanding that this usage did not comply with its RR1 zoning
since the building is not attached to my home as required for a cottage industry. To
my knowledge there were no complaints to the borough for this 'commercial' use of
the property. If in the future I were to choose to sell something other than postal
services, I would like to be able to do so without violating zoning ordinances.
The Chiniak Area Comprehensive Plan of May 1987 identifies the area in the vicinity
of the post office as a business area. The plan states, "Future business development
(other than home occupations) should be located in these two areas, (the other is
Road's End), creating "nodes" of development rather than "strip" development." Even
though the plan calls for business usage of the property the lot has always been
zoned RR1. I would like to have this changed so that the zoning of the lot matches the
desires of the comprehensive plan and the property's usage.
understand that the comprehensive plan may be reviewed in the near future. In
order to continue to operate the post office in compliance with zoning, I would like to
have Lot 1 of USS 3471 zoned as Rural Neighborhood Commercial. I request the
zoning change be made either prior to, or protected from, in any revisions to the
Chiniak Comprehensive Plan.
Thank you,
James S. Van Atta

PROPOSED EFFECTIVE CLAUSE
1. Prior to the RNC -Rural Neighborhood zone becoming effective for
Lot 1, U.S. Survey 3471, the petitioner shall demonstrate to the KIB
Community Development Department that the upper portion of the
property has legal and physical access by a driveway that complies
with Borough Code.
FINDINGS OF FACT
17.72.020 A. Findings as to the Need and Justification for a Change or
Amendment.
The lot is located in an area designated for commercial development in the
1987 Chiniak Area Comprehensive Plan. The Chiniak Post Office use,
although contractual, fits well with the narrative description in the plan
which describes commercial use areas that support of the needs of Chiniak
residents or which are oriented towards recreation and tourism related
business. The petitioner has requested the rezone in order to bring the
property into conformity with the existing Post Office use and to allow for
future commercial use of the site should the Post Office ever be closed or
moved.
There are no other commercially zoned parcels in the Chiniak community at
the present time. The 1987 plan has designated the vicinity of the Chiniak
Post Office and "Road's End" to be commercial since adoption, however no
prior rezones have ever been processed for Chiniak prior to the two cases
initiated in 2003. Other commercial uses in the area tend to fall in the
category of nonconforming use or zoning violation.
The proposed rezone will not create any nonconforming land uses or
structures. Although there appear to be some pre- existing nonconformities
on the site, the setback requirements for the RNC -Rural Neighborhood

Commercial zone are identical to the setbacks required in the RRl -Rural
Residential One zoning district.
17.72.020 B. Findings as to the Effect a Change or Amendment would
have on the Objectives of the Comprehensive Plan.
The RNC -Rural Neighborhood Commercial zone provides the best "fit"
with the 1987 Chiniak Area Comprehensive Plan, which describes
commercial uses in the Chiniak area as follows:
"Business areas have been identified in areas close to but not in
conflict with the designated residential areas. The business areas
have been identified for two general types of functions: small local
business to serve the Chiniak area, and recreation/tourist oriented
businesses to take advantage of the scenic and recreational qualities
of the area. The designated business areas provide somewhat of a
buffer between the designated residential areas and the area
designated for marine industrial uses. The two locations selected for
this planning category are in the vicinity of the existing post office
and the "Road's End ". Future business development (other than
home occupations) should be located in these two areas, creating
"nodes" of development rather than "strip" development."
The Chiniak Post Office area is also designated on the plan map
accompanying the narrative plan description. Based on this information, the
proposed rezone would generally support the objectives the 1987 Chiniak
Area Comprehensive Plan.
The question was called, and it CARRIED 5 -0.

A. Call to Order
Chairman Scott Arndt called the meeting to order at 7:02pm.
B. Roll Call
Present were: Board Members Scott Arndt, Gregg Hacker, Charlie
Jerling, Jay Johnston, Reed Oswalt and Brent Watkins. Absent
Member was Jerrol Friend. Also in attendance were Robert
Tucker, Norm Wooten, David Horne [KIBSD] and Jim Willis. In
attendance from the KIB E/F Department were Bud Cassidy, Ken
Smith and Sharon Lea Adinolfi.
The Chair asked that a motion be made to approve the Minutes
from 29 March 2005 - it was moved and seconded to approve the
Minutes as received. There was an affirmative unanimous voice
vote.
E. Presentation of Updates on Hospital Master Plan and Seismic
Vulnerability Assessment Projects
B. Cassidy gave a brief update on the Master Plan for PKIMC. He
said that Prochaska & Associates had spent time in Kodiak
gathering information and interviewing locally and a report had
been generated with recommendations. K. Smith continued with a
slide presentation showing the Hospital complex as it exists and
offering two different options as design possibilities.
Next K. Smith presented a slide report prepared by G &E showing
progress and preliminary findings re seismic valuation of Kodiak
schools. It was noted that the G &E team will be in town the w/o
9/19/05 to continue their investigation of schools. They will
tour all of the Village schools and update the E/F Department as
to progress to date.
' _�..r- � q i� 1 I '.I
;it F. Review and ing of Proposals - New Pool Facility
B. Cassidy tot the group that he was pleased with the high
quality of the roposals received and that the Board would be
., taeked',watsh,n iewing and scoring the Proposals and deciding
The short listed firms would then be
invited to be interviewed by the Board.
Jay Johnston questioned the number of firms to make up the short
list - three? B. Cassidy suggested that once the scoring is
done, a natural break point will frequently occur - so the
number could be only two [or more] and that would be a Board
decision.
The Chair suggested that this particular selection [for the firm
to head up the Pool Project] could be an important decision
because the same firm might also go on to handle other Bond
Projects.
The Chair suggested the g oup come back together again next week
- giving everyone add' ional time to read and review the
Proposals. An earlier iscussion had set Monday, 19 September
2005, 7:OOpm in the KFRC room as the next meeting
date. At the next meeting the Proposals will be reviewed as a
group and scored, leading to a short list of firms to be
interviewed.
G. Public Comments
J. Willis asked for clarification re information presented on
the Hospital Master Plan.
H. Scheduling of Next Meeting
Next meeting date scheduled earlier in the meeting for 19
September 2005 at 7.O0pm in the KFRC conference room.
I. Board Member Comments
With the exception of Jay Johnston who said these were good
proposals - and he may have already selected his two contenders
- and everyone will need to spend a fair amount of time to
properly review the proposals, there were no Board Member
comments.

request.

VI. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Case 06 -001. A request for Commission review and approval of a
screening plan preparatory to the development of Lakeside Subdivision r
Addition Lot 1C, located at 2430 Beaver Lake Drive, in accordance with KIBC
17.24.060 G — Screening. Zoned I — Industrial.
Ogle stated 47 public hearing notices were distributed on October 11, 2005. This
request was brought forward by the applicant in anticipation of a proposed use of
the property as a milling site for raw lumber products. As part of the requirements
for the ordinance, he is required to do a screening plan review before the Planning
& Zoning Commission as well as to indicate conformance with the performance
standards. Staff recommends working with the applicant if he were here tonight to
address how he will meet certain performance standards being noise, odor, dust,
smoke, and screening. He has indicated he would put an 8 foot tall wooden fence
on the property line outside the right of way, but he hasn't indicated how he will
address the noise, dust, odor, or smoke concerns. The options are trying to
anticipate some issues that would arise from the neighbors and place those
conditions on this review or you could elect to continue this for a month and wait
until the applicant is present to have an open discussion with him.
A brief discussion on the issues.
COMMISSIONER JANZ MOVED TO APPROVE the applicant's screening
and development plan relative to the installation of a portable sawmill to be
located on Lot 1C Lakeside Subdivision 2 Addition, subject to the specific
performance standards of KIBC 17.24, further clarified below as Findings for
Case No. 06 -001 COMMISSIONER KING SECONDED the motion.
FINDINGS Relative KIBC 17/4.060 Performance Standards
[A] The specific criteria related to 17.24.060 A — Noise shall be adhered to.
[B] The specific criteria related to 17.24.060 B — Lighting shall be adhered to.
[C] The specific criteria related to 17.24.060 C — Fire & Safety Hazards shall be
adhered to.
[D] The specific criteria related to 17.24.060 D — Odor shall be adhered to.

After a brief discussion, it was the consensus of the commission there are too
many unanswered questions and they would like more information.
P & Z Meeting Minutes: November 16, 2005 Page 2 of 7
Ogle stated that Condition B, C, and F can be handled through the Zoning
Compliance application review being lighting, fire, safety hazards, and open
storage.
COMMISSIONER CARVER MOTIONED TO POSTPONE this case until the
December 21 regular meeting. COMMISSIONER KING SECONDED the
motion.
The commission requested the applicant address directly the performance
standards and provide more information on his request.
The question was called, and it CARRIED 5 -0.
VII. OLD BUSINESS
A. Case S02 -009. Request to extend the compliance deadline in Condition of
Approval #2 from November 18, 2005 to January 20, 2006.
Ogle stated she believes the commission is aware of this subdivision and this
condition. It came before the commission several months ago for a three month
extension in order for the property owner to complete the conversion of the barn
structure under single family residence. Because of personal reasons he wasn't
able to meet the condition and requests another extension until January 20, 2006
COMMISSIONER CARVER MOVED TO APPROVE the amendment of
preliminary plat approval for Case S02 -009, to extend the compliance date set
forth in Condition of Approval #2 until January 20, 2005. COMMISSIONER
KING SECONDED motion, and it CARRIED 5 -0.
CONDITION OF APPROVAL (as amended)
2. Within twenty -nine (38 months including three extensions) months (by
January 20, 2006), applicable inspection reports and/or certificate of occupancy
required by the Building Department must be issued for conversion of the barn on
proposed Lot 3 to a single - family residence, or it must be otherwise brought into
compliance with Title 17 Zoning. Absent this, zoning enforcement action will be
initiated.
B. Draft Amendment of P &Z Commission By -Laws
Ogle stated at a work session previously the P &Z Commission voiced concerns
about the process of getting staff reports out to the applicants as well as the
commission members, and how it relates to the packet review session and the
formal meeting. She drafted some changes, with the first being in Article 10
Section A where the notice for the public hearing would run fourteen days before
the public hearing, and the general circulation of the newspaper. The public will
be able to see the legal ad two weeks in advance before the hearing. The second
change is in Article 11 Reports and Minutes. The Community Development
Department will have the staff reports for public hearing petitions available for
review by the applicant and Commission members 12 days prior to the public
hearing, which would be the Friday before the packet review. The packets would
be available to the applicant and the Commission that Friday and have up until
Wednesday to review the materials before the packet review.
P & Z Meeting Minutes:
November 16, 2005 Page 3 of 7
COMMISSIONER FRIEND stated the only thing he notices is in Article 7 — A -2.
Will it be a problem coming on the first working day for the prior month, since we
shortened you up?
Ogle stated she has reviewed this with staff and the only adjustment would be to
move up a week sending out the agency review letters.
COMMISSIONER FRIEND stated COMMISSIONER McMURRY is a big
pusher in this issue, and he feels this should be postponed to allow
COMMISSIONER McMURRY time to look at this.
C. Draft Amendment of Transient Accommodations.
Ogle stated this is the first time this is coming before a formal meeting. The
primary reason for bringing this forward is because a woman wanted to open a
B &B in her quad plex. She was told she couldn't do it because it didn't meet the
existing definition of a B &B. The existing definition states you have live within
the same premises and the word premises has no definition. There are also a few
B &B, lodge, and vacation home situations that are out of compliance. We wanted
to take this opportunity to open this discussion up to look at the different possible
uses that would meet the transient accommodation criteria. Ogle has provided all
possible definitions and portions of the code that deal with these types of uses to
evaluate. You may want to leave them as is, delete them, or further edit them. For
public information, what she is talking about are B &B's, hotels, boarding houses,
lodges, motels, recreational cabins, and vacation homes are primarily what they
consider transient accommodations. Staff has worked up a few edits; the first
being the definition of Bed & Breakfast — instead of renting out up to a maximum
of two rooms, it has been upped to five rooms within the unit. The second edit
being Bed & Breakfast's must provide two additional parking spaces beyond the
normal requirements for a single family dwelling unit. A new definition has been
created for "premises" which means a lot together with all buildings and
structures therein. "Guest room" has been further refined to include B &B's It was
omitted to clarify common sleeping arrangements, like some of the larger lodge
settings where there is a large room with bunks establishing the interior density,
each room is considered 100 square feet. Recreational cabin was also edited to
include "this use is usually associated with remote areas." The new definition for
vacation home is "a one family dwelling unit that is rented or leased in its entirety
for periods not to exceed thirty days in length." If it's rented for more than thirty
days, then it is just a single family dwelling that is rented out. Ogle has included
some definitions out of Title 3 which deals with the finance There was talk at the
staff level to address a Borough government concern of residents and business
people not coming forward to pay their bed tax, so a proposal is that in order to
have a legal B &B, hotel, motel, lodge, etc. you have to come to get a zoning
compliance certificate from the Community Development Department. In order to
get a zoning compliance certificate besides meeting the standards in zoning
ordinance you have to verify proof of applying for your transient accommodation
tax or proof of exemption from that tax that is issued by the Finance Department.
The last of the code change is to look at where these various uses are permitted.
The proposal for B &B's is to have it permitted in the Conservation District. The
P & Z Meeting Minutes: November 16, 2005 Page 4 of 7
X. REPORTS
P & Z Meeting Minutes:
only other change is the vacation home they are proposing to permit in any zone
that permits residential use.
COMMISSIONER FRIEND stated there is still some work to do on this. He
would like to see a copy of the letter sent to the hotels and motels, B &B's, lodges,
realtors, and the Visitors Bureau. Friend would also like to have another work
session on these issues. Bring it up for discussion at the December meeting, and
then set up a work session.
VIII. NEW BUSINESS
A. Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee Appointments.
Ogle stated that because this is a large project and she has received a dozen
requests to be on the Steering Committee, she feels it would be appropriate to
follow Chapter 2.39 to establish a formal Steering Committee. It is similar to the
creation of the Gravel Task Force, make recommendations, people will apply, and
then the decision is made at the Assembly level of who will be on the Steering
Committee.
B. KMXT radio coverage recommendations.
Ogle stated this topic has come up before from a Kodiak resident. If the
Commission feels strongly about this they would direct her to write a formal letter
to KMXT requesting that these meeting be put on the air.
It was suggested that the meetings be webcast on the Borough website, but after
discussion they came to the conclusion that the Borough is not prepared to be
webcasting the meetings, along with the rest of the community. It is more feasible
to broadcast meetings on public radio.
C. Recommendation of support for Alaska Trails Grant.
Ogle explained that the Community Development staff is also the support staff for
the Parks & Recreation Committee. The committee is working with the Fort
Abercrombie Parks Office to apply for a grant that is due December 1 through
DNR Parks & Recreation Division for an Alaska Trails Grant to do upgrades on
the Piedmont Point Trail. They are proposing a training element where they have a
contract with the Rivers, Trials and Conservation group for professional
assistance. They will come and train ten people on how to train other people on
how to do maintenance work on the trail. We would then have a group of
volunteers that would be professionally trained in trail maintenance for all future
trail projects, which will save time and money. With your direction she would
write a letter of support for this grant.
CHAIR FRIEND directed Ogle to write the support letter.
IX. COMMUNICATIONS
COMMISSIONER CARVER MOVED TO ACCEPT the Communications.
COMMISSIONER JANZ SECONDED the motion, and it CARRIED 5 -0.
November 16, 2005 Page 5 of 7
Ogle reported the Parks & Recreation Committee is currently working on proposed
changes to the Borough's subdivision control ordinance to create a scenario when new
subdivisions come in, the developer would be required to put in either a pocket park,
open space, and /or sidewalk or a trail connection. Based on recent subdivisions, there has
been a community desire for a park within a subdivision or open space for wetlands or
trail connections or sidewalks, but there isn't anything in the ordinance to require it. Last
year the Assembly's strategic plan was to look at the creation of pocket parks within
subdivisions. The Parks & Recreation Committee is requesting to have a work session
with the P &Z Commission at your December 14 packet review to discuss the general
concepts. It could be left conceptual or highly quantitative.
The Commission wishes to invite the Parks & Recreation Committee to their December
14 packet review.
Ogle stated the postponement letters for the postponed cases were sent out. Van Atta will
be going before the commission at their December regular meeting. Everyone else is still
postponed.
Ogle stated she has begun work on the ham radio antenna ordinance. Several months ago
P &Z directed staff to write language within the code under the zoning ordinance to match
how the state code reads. Her question to the commission is would you prefer just to cite
the state code reference or would you prefer to have all the criteria within the ordinance
itself.
COMMISSIONER WATKINS inquired how hard it would be to cross reference it.
Ogle said she would just reference the state code.
Ogle stated the commission initiated the Bolton/Shryock cases be split into two cases.
Mr. Shryock has elected not to pursue the R1 to R2 portion.
Ogle stated that lastly we are moving along with our consultants with the update to the
Coastal Management Plan. It is due to the State to be forwarded to the Federal
Government at the beginning of March. Does the P &Z want to see a draft of that plan at
your December meeting, comment on it, he can make changes, and then bring you the
final in February? Or do you just want to see the final in February?
CHAIR FRIEND asked if it would warrant a work session.
Ogle stated yes, we could do a work session. It would be advertised because it is coming
formally before the commission as a public hearing item.
COMMISSIONER CARVER MOVED TO ACCEPT the reports as submitted.
COMMISSIONER JANZ SECONDED the motion, and it CARRIED 5 -0.
XI. AUDIENCE COMMENTS
James Van Atta owns a B &B and he pays the accommodation tax. He feels one parking
space per room is a bit excessive. He said a lot of people come in one car with two
couples. He feels one parking space per two rooms is adequate. Van Atta also stated he is
please with the new Community Development Director.
XII. COMMISSIONERS' COMMENTS
P & Z Meeting Minutes: November 16, 2005 Page 6 of 7
CHAIR FRIEND stated that he is very happy with the staff also. With him being the chair
and being with the commission for so long, he does feel more a part of staff and
Community Development than he ever has.

B. Cassidy told the Board that the Assembly will be looking at
drainage plans and will be getting estimates for the paving work
in Woodland Acres. Once the estimates are received, the
Assembly will conduct public meetings re this project. If an
estimate is approved, the Assembly will move the project
forward.
B. Cassidy asked the Board if paving of Sharatin would be a
project to bring to the Assembly. S. Arndt said that as a
Sharatin resident he would not want to see paving done at this
time. There is still considerable development going on in the
NOK subdivision and until that work is completed, heavy
equipment will continue to use Sharatin - so paving could be
done - and paid for - and in a relative short period of time the
newly paved road would be as used as a ten year old road.
E. Mahoney suggested that letters
suggesting they not use Sharat
residents of Katmai would have a
desirable or not - how does the
that when grading is done properly and the road pounded
actually is a decent road.
J. Public Comments
Dennis Simmons questioned the Board as to their responsibilities
with regards to contractual obligations, verifying work done,
etc. S. Arndt said that the Board does have this
responsibility. K. Arndt noted that there are several layers of
verification, signing off on invoicing, checking work. B.
Cassidy noted that this was primarily the Chair's responsibility
and that the Chairs of Service District #1 have always taken
their responsibilities seriously.

that many of the intersections are the responsibility of DOT and

ongQ QYGit OFFICE
The Alaska Municipal League Joint Insurance Association c
training for all Department Heads and supervisors on Tuesday, January 17 . The
Borough also invited supervisory personnel from the City of Kodiak and the school
district. The training was well attended and very productive by providing supervisors the
necessary information and training needed to keep abreast of the latest personnel laws
and procedures.
The hospital master plan being conducted by Prochaska & Associates is nearing
completion. One of the primary purposes for conducting the hospital master plan was to
better utilize space for the Kodiak Community Health Center (KCHC) and the hospital.
In cooperation with KCHC, the hospital and Borough staff who have been working on
this project, we would like to meet with the Assembly in a special work session sometime
late February or early March to present the plan as it has been developed to -date I will
be working with all parties involved and the Assembly to set a time for this special work
session. It has been recommended that the special work session be held at the hospital to
include a tour of the facility.
Staff has been working on the RFP for a consultant to do a Waste Management Stream
Study to include recommendations for improving the collection process and help in
developing the waste collection RFP. The Waste Management Stream Study RFP is in
its final review stages and we expect it to be out on the street in the near future. The
work that we are asking a consultant to do is complicated, has significant costs associated
with the results of the process and we want to make sure that we have included all aspects
of the waste management stream and that the Borough is able to obtain the best
consultant available for this contract. We are hopeful that this process will give the
Borough's waste management a thorough review with helpful recommendations to
operate efficiently and cost effectively and minimize the costs of waste management to
the users. Our goal continues to be to have the collection RFP out in time to have new
proposals before the current contract ends on June 30, 2006. However, as stated on
November 5 during the Assembly's Strategic Plan session, this is going to be a very
tight timeline. I do have concerns that we may not meet the timeline, and it is my
recommendation that we do it right and have a process that is improved rather than
continuing the current situation. Given the possibility that we may not make the timeline
needed for the waste collection contract, I have been in discussions with the Borough
attorney, as early as last October, looking at what options the Borough may have for
extending the existing contract in order to have the time necessary to produce a good
waste collection contract.
For your information, I will be traveling to Juneau next week to attend an Alaska
Municipal League Joint Insurance Association Board meeting. I will be leaving Tuesday
evening and will retum during the day on Friday. While in Juneau, I will be making
some visits to legislators and state agencies in conjunction with the Alaska Municipal
League meetings being attended by the Mayor and Assembly member Ranney along with
our lobbyists Mark Hickey. ISLAND BoxoucA

Kodiak Island Borough Assembly Members and Borough Mayor
710 Mill Bay Road
Kodiak, AK 9961.5
Dear Kodiak Island Borough Assembly Members and Mayor:
According to Borough Code it is not permissible for the Borough to extend a
contract unless it is a Utility. In essence the Borough has been in violation of its own
code by extending Contract Number 98-48A for two one -year extensions. The first
extension was with USA Waste Management for the one year and the second extension
was with Alaska Pacific Environmental (formally USA Waste Management) which that
contract expires on June 30, 2006. Judith Nielsen, Borough Clerk, brought it to the
attention of Nancy Galstad, Borough Interim Manager, who conferred with the
Borough's attorney for a legal opinion on the matter. The Borough Attorney confirmed
that it was a violation of Borough Code to extend contract number 98 -48A. At the April
7 2005 Regular Assembly Meeting, the Assembly approved a one year contract
extension even though each Assembly member was fully aware of the legalities for
violation of the code. This was to only be a ONE YEAR Extension with an RFP being
available to the Borough Assembly for approval by January 2006.
After getting a call the morning of January 19 2006 at 8:45 a.m. from Borough
Manager, Rick Gifford, I am concerned that the Borough is not going to have the RFP
ready after already waiting one year for it to be available. 1 am also concerned that the
Borough will try to do another extension. When 1 asked Rick about the Borough Code he
stated that they were under advisement from legal counsel to see how they could deal
with this issue.
It is my opinion that if the Borough Code is changed after the fact of all these
extensions that it is abusing what the codes were put in place for at the time they were
instituted. Our company has wanted to bid on the solid waste collection contract since the
first contract extension was approved in 2004. The Assembly and Borough Staff have
circumvented the codes for the past two extensions for the same reasons being stated now
for not having the RFP done which are: shortage of staff,, new manager (the new borough
manager has been on board for six months) and lack of studies being completed (the RFP
for the study has not been completed in two years).
FROM :LRIDLRW
FRX NO. :9074863070 Jan. 19 2006 03:50PM P2
In conclusion the bidding process is a healthy process. It gives the public the best
price for quality service. The fact of the matter is that the excuses will continue to
postpone putting out an RFP for solid waste collection since studies are not completed
and at this rate we could be waiting another two or more years for an RFP to be
completed or for studies to even begin. Meanwhile, the public is not getting the best deal
they could be getting because the competitive bidding process has been derailed and
circumvented. No matter what the study comes up with garbage still needs to be
collected and if changes needed to be made to that collection process the Borough could
at that time work with the current/new contractor to renegotiate a rate or decide to have
the contract re -bid.
