MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 3, 2005
TO: Borough Assembly
THRU: Rick Gifford, or gh Manager Ati
FROM: Bud Cassidy�rztor�of Engineering and Facilities
RE: 2006 -2009 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP)
I. INTRODUCTION
STIP is a program that provides funding to improve roads, intersections, traffic flow and other
transportation oriented projects. There is an annual review of the STIP with this year's review
deadline on December 31, 2005. For more information on the State's STIP process, visit the
DOT web site at http: / /www.dot.state.ak.us.
STIP is defined as a "staged, multi year, statewide, intermodal program of surface transportation
projects which is governed by the surface transportation regulations and funded primarily with
the surface transportation program funds ". STIP projects are reviewed and rated by the Alaska
Department of Transportation (ADOT) and approved by the Federal Transit Administration and
the Federal Highway Administration. The STIP program is required by Federal law and is
funded through the Federal Transportation Bill.
Based on ADOT evaluation criteria projects are nominated by the localities and scored by the
State of Alaska Department of Transportation and only those projects that receive the highest
score are included in the STIP. These projects are then scheduled for construction and funding
sources are identified. Some projects like Otmeloi Road (funded to the tune of $3.3 million) are
"Earmarks" identified by Congress and do not have to go through the STIP rating process,
however they are included on the STIP list.
Projects that are funded require a local match. That match varies depending on the project and
can require anywhere from a 7 -20% local match.
II. KODIAK PROJECTS
The following Kodiak projects are listed in the 2006 -2009 STIP:
• New Kodiak Marine Terminal
• Rezanof "Y" Intersection
• Port Lions Road Safety Improvements and Resurfacing
• Chiniak "Switchback" Mile 23.7 Improvements
• Chiniak Road Rehabilitation
• Otmeloi Road
• Pasagshak Road Realignment/Upgrade
• Rezanof Drive Rehabilitation
III. PROJECTS NOT INCLUDED IN THE STIP
Some projects are not listed and KIB staff has contacted ADOT to determine why they were not
included in the STIP. Our letter to the State will ask that these unlisted projects be included. The
unlisted projects are:
• Kodiak Roads — North Star bike trails - $1,429,043
• Rezanof Intersection (with Mill Bay Road) Rehabilitation, Lighting and Intersection
Safety Improvements - $1,000,000.
• CIP projects — Anton Larsen Bay Road to Ice Free Water
Because the STIP is only a draft document, these projects may have inadvertently been left off
and there are other things in this draft document that need attention. Some of the projects listed
have the wrong vicinity maps or the project has been partially completed.
IV. OTHER PROJECTS PREVIOUSLY PROPOSED AND NOT ON STIP
There have been other projects nominated by KIB staff for the STIP. Many of the projects are
Borough road paving projects or intersection work and studies. Though nominated, these
projects did not make STIP.
There are a few potential projects that should be considered for nomination, most of which have
to do with traffic flow. These include:
• Make portions of Rezanof Drive a three lane road similar to Mill Bay Road
• Create turning lanes at certain intersections (Sharatin, both ends of Woody Way, Cutoff
Road, etc)
• Create School bus turn-outs along Rezanof Drive
• More street lights along State roads
V. CONCLUSION
The State's review criteria determines which projects are funded through the STIP. This includes
state owned and locally owned roads. The state has done a good job of improving the roads that
they own. These include the majority of Chiniak Highway, all of Monashka Bay Road to White
Sands beach, Anton Larsen Bay Road as far as the golf course and improvements to Pasagshak
Road
This process also allows local governments to convey their surface transportation priorities.
These priorities can center on issues such as road conditions (need for paving or for repair),
safety features, traffic flow and intersection type issues.
Staff will be talking to ADOT staff and drafting a letter to the State with our comments on the
"Draft" STIP has identified above.

(TTY 269-0473)
The Department received a $3.3 million general fund appropriation for Otmeloi Way Rehabilitation
in the 3006 capital budget. We want to know whether the Kodiak Island Borough is interested in
taking over ownership of the road and developing the project.
Otmeloi Way, currently a state owned and maintained facility, primarily serves local residents and
accesses an elementary school. We propose that the ownership of Otmeloi Way be transferred to the
Kodiak Island Borough, along with the $3.3 million in general funds, for the design and construction
of the project. This would enable the Borough maximum flexibility in developing the project to meet
the community's needs and desires.
If the Borough prefers the Department manage the design and construction, we would do so under an
agreement with the Borough to accept ownership and maintenance of the road upon the project
completion. The agreement would further require the Borough be responsible for any costs that
exceed the general fund appropriation.
The Department's project manager is Judy Dougherty. She can be reached at 269 -0566 or by e:mail
at Judy Doughertyadot.state.ak.us. We look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Introduced by: Mayor Selby
Requested by: Assembly
Introduced: 11/03/2005
Adopted: 11/03/2005
A RESOLUTION OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH ASSEMBLY URGING
THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AND THE STATE OF ALASKA
TO REOPEN THE 1991 CIVIL SETTLEMENT FROM THE EXXON VALDEZ OIL SPILL AND
CLAIM THE FULL $100 MILLION FOR
MITIGATION OF UNANTICIPATED LONG -TERM HARM
WHEREAS, on October 9, 1991, the U.S. District Court of Alaska in Anchorage approved a
settlement among Exxon, the United States, and the state of Alaska for damages to "natural
resources" (publicly -owned wildlife and wild lands) from the Exxon Valdez oil spill (EVOS); and
WHEREAS, this settlement included a clause that provided a "Reopener for Unknown Injury, " which
states (essentially) that, between September 1, 2002, and September 1, 2006, Exxon shall pay to the
Governments such additional sums as are required (up to $100 million) to restore oil- damaged
populations, habitats, or species in the spill zone if the injury could not reasonably have been known
nor anticipated at the time of the settlement; and
WHEREAS, unanticipated long -term harm from the Exxon Valdez oil spill has been clearly and
conclusively demonstrated by scientists funded through the EVOS Trustee Council and, separately,
through federal and state agencies, universities, and private foundations; and
WHEREAS, unforeseen damage includes delayed recovery of: 5 -6 years for pink salmon, about 8
years for black oystercatchers and river otters; and 15 or more years for mussel beds and beach
communities, sea otters, and fish- eating areas (from slow replacement of losses after spill); and
WHEREAS, unforeseen damage includes species not recovered after 15 or more years such as:
harlequin ducks, Pacific herring, pigeon guillemots, harbor seals (from slow replacement of losses
after spill), and mammal- eating orcas (from spill losses and impaired reproduction due to high body
burdens of PCBs); and
WHEREAS, unforeseen damage includes indirect effects to species like black - legged kittiwakes that were
not initially harmed by the spill, but were harmed through spill - related loss of prey species such as Pacific
herring; and
WHEREAS, much of the documented unforeseen damage stems from unexpectedly high levels of
spilled oil, which remains buried in the intertidal zone and which NOAA scientists now estimate will
take at least another 20 years to naturally degrade; and
WHEREAS, all of these long -term damages from oil were completely unanticipated at the time of
settlement because the understanding of oil toxicity then held that oil only caused short -term harm at
water levels of parts per million, while scientists now realize that oil also causes long -term harm at
water levels of parts per billion and trillion: and
WHEREAS, because of the scientific finding that oil is more toxic than previously thought, it is critical
to educate the public as to this finding and take measures to reduce risk of spills as well as to mitigate
lingering harm; and

WHEREAS, none of the three parties to the settlement - Exxon, the federal government or the State
of Alaska -have petitioned to reopen the settlement.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH
THAT the Assembly hereby urges the United States Department of Justice and the State of Alaska to
Reopen the 1991 Civil Settlement From the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill and Claim the Full $100 Million for
Mitigation of Unanticipated Long -Term Harm: and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the US Justice Department and the State of Alaska consider, at
a minimum, the following potential mitigation projects:
Mitigation of lingering harm:
1. Monitor weathering and toxicity of residual oil under beaches
2. Monitor recovery of, and oil contamination in, subsistence foods on oiled beaches
3. Continue to monitor species that hake not yet recovered
4. Establish, and compensate for, cost of unforeseen injury to species
5. Conduct a feasibility study and cohort epidemiology study on cleanup workers whose health may
have been impaired by the EVOS cleanup
6. Study of treated and untreated beaches to determine if any treatment methods used during the
EVOS cleanup actually worked; i.e., improved recovery of beach ecology over the long -term
Public education:
1. Fund an assessment of injured resources through the National Research Council
2. Fund a review and assessment of oil spill cleanup products that are not toxic to humans or the
environment through the National Research Council
3. Develop and implement national education programs on new understanding that oil is more toxic
than previously thought to humans and the environment (like tobacco industry settlement)
Measures to reduce risk of large spills:
1. Endow citizen oversight council for the Trans - Alaska Pipeline System (estimated cost: $25 million)
