In doing so, Community Partners are able to maximize the use of their marketing dollars and personnel to promote their community while ATIA conducts a national Alaska image /awareness campaign. ATIA raises the visitor industry's cash contribution by implementing cooperative marketing programs. In addition, ATIA obtains voluntary contributions from the cruise lines, chambers and Convention & Visitor Bureaus. ATIA then goes to the state to collect matching funds, thereby doubling the amount of funding for tourism marketing. ATIA creates an annual marketing plan for approval by the ATIA Board of Directors and Marketing Committee. Once approved, the marketing plan is implemented by staff on the industry's behalf and monitored for effectiveness. The graph below shows the source of funds for the Statewide Marketing Program and how contributions from CVB /DMOs compare to funding contributed by other industry partners. $11.0 $10.0 $9.0 $8.0 $7.0 $6.0 $5.0 $4.0 $3.0 $2.0 $1.0 $0.0 0 State Contract 0 Cooperative Marketing ❑ Cruise Line Contribution ❑ CVB /DMO FY01 FY02 AlaskaTIA Marketing Budget (Millions) FY03 FY04 FY05 FY06 FY07 1 It is important for an organization such as the ATIA to determine the path it will travel into the future. For this reason, the ATIA board of directors has developed and embraces the following vision: "The ATIA will be the leading industry organization promoting Alaska as a top visitor destination, communicating and promoting the Alaskan tourism industry as one of the state's major economic forces, and will be the respected voice of the industry for the growth of the industry, while remaining attentive to care for the environment, recognition of cultures and Alaska's unique quality of life." ATIA Mission As ATIA strives to attain its vision for the Alaska visitor industry, the association undertakes the following: • To promote and facilitate travel to and throughout the state of Alaska • To provide a broad -based association of individuals and companies with an interest in Alaska's visitor industry • To encourage the increase and improvement of quality visitor facilities, services, and attractions throughout the state • To increase awareness of the economic importance of the visitor industry • To develop and implement programs beneficial to travel suppliers and consumers - programs that no single industry component or organization would be expected to carry out on its own • To initiate and cooperate with local, state, and federal entities in developing and implementing programs, policies, and legislation that are responsive to the needs of the industry and to intervene in those issues and initiatives that would directly affect the facilitation and promotion of travel to and within Alaska • To work cooperatively with the state on tourism development and long -range planning A critical element to the success of ATIA's cooperative marketing efforts is the relationship with our Community Partners. The partnership between Community Partners and ATIA is mutually beneficial. It is about developing connections. ATIA looks to Community Partners for information on key issues within their community and in return provides Community Partners with invaluable information and leads to ensure the growth of tourism in every community. This cooperative effort is effective in bringing visitors to Alaska and maximizing resources. In order to facilitate this partnership, ATIA takes specific steps to communicate with our Community Partners: • ATIA E -news — This electronic newsletter is distributed regularly throughout the year. Topics contained in the E -news include tips and trends for business development, updates on industry related issues and information with new member benefits and upcoming events • DMO briefings - Quarterly teleconferences are held and topics vary at each meeting. Communities provide updates on key issues within their communities and ATIA promotes new marketing opportunities, updates on existing programs, government relations issues and other issues that may impact the communities 2 ATIA implements many programs that Convention & Visitor Bureaus and member businesses are able to participate in for a fee. Money raised from these programs goes right back into funding other ATIA marketing efforts. Over the past five years, ATIA has nearly doubled the number of cooperative marketing programs it offers.

KIBC 3.08.030B provides that the school district shall submit to the manager the proposed budget and local support requirements for the school by the 30 of April. The School Board submitted their Budget on May 1, 2007. Alaska Statutes 14.14.060c provides that if the assembly does not, within 30 days, furnish the School Board with a statement (resolution) of the sum to be made available, the amount requested in the School Board budget is automatically approved. Per Borough Code, the Assembly determines the total amount of money to be made available from local sources for school purposes and shall furnish the School Board with a statement (resolution) of the sum to be made available. KIBC 3.08.050 provides that by June 10 the Assembly shall appropriate the amount to be made available from local sources for that purpose in the Borough budget. The School Board has asked for $40,671,695 from the Borough. The Borough's draft budget is $39,630,115 or $1,041,580 less than the School Board requested.

Kodiak Island Borough AGENDA STATEMENT Regular Meeting of May 17, 2007 ITEM NO. 9.B Ordinance No. FY2007 -14 Amending Kodiak Island Borough Code of Ordinances Title 2 Administration and Personnel, Chapter 2.17 Rules of the Assembly, Section 2.17.020 General Rules to Prohibit Assembly Member Attendance at Regular and Special Meetings by Teleconference and Allow it Only During Work Sessions and Emergency Meetings. Alaska Statutes 44.62.310 states "attendance and participation at meetings by members of the public or by members of a governmental body may be by teleconference." Also, according to AS 29.20.160 (f) the Assembly is authorized to determine by ordinance its own rules or procedure and order of business to the extent otherwise permitted by law. A copy of a legal opinion (attached) was provided to the Assembly regarding this matter. The attorney noted that the assembly may adopt an ordinance which would allow or not allow participation via teleconference as long as reasonable public notice of the date, time, and place of location from which the assembly member will be appearing telephonically must be given. After Assembly discussion on April 12, it was requested that this ordinance be presented to codify policy regarding teleconferencing. This would prohibit assembly member attendance at regular and special meetings by teleconference and allow it only during work sessions and emergency meetings.

Javier, CMC, Borough Clerk KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska Ordinance No. FY2007 -14 Page 2 of 2 'TER IX TINGS Emergency Meetings: Emergency meetings, re- ally special meetings held with 24 hours notice or less, are held to address situations that are so urgent that the council must meet right away. An emer- gency meeting may be held if a majority of the mem- bers is given at least 24 hours oral or written notice and reasonable efforts are made to notify all mem- bers. An emergency meeting may be held with less than 24 hours notice if all members are present or if absent members have waived in writing the required notice. Waiver of notice can be made before or af- ter the emergency meeting is held. Committee Meetings: The mayor may appoint both standing and ad hoc committees of the assembly/ council to examine particular questions or issues in greater detail. Committee membership should be limited to less than a quorum as more than that would transform the committee meeting to an actual as- sembly /council meeting. Standing committees are permanent, e.g., finance committee, public works committee, facilities com- mittee. Ad hoc committees are formed to address a specific issue and are disbanded once the issue is resolved. Committees are valuable because they identify problems, concerns or difficulties that may exist and propose solutions to the assembly /coun- cil. A committee cannot adopt a position on behalf of the full assembly /council, but instead makes rec- ommendations to the assembly /council for action. nittee sting 1 l ieck ti i c stimoi 1 7 a t r, c a t a c c c p 1 Kodiak Island Borough AGENDA STATEMENT Regular Meeting of May 17, 2007 Recommended motion: Move to adopt Ordinance No. FY2007 -15.

Our estimated costs to conduct the inspections on a time and materials basis are as follows: Task 1. Kick Off and Scoping Meeting 2. Permittin • Assistance 3. Prepare and Implement Sampling Plan 4. System Design and O &M Documentation 5. Construction Oversight 6. Start -up Oversight Total ANC/TP 55 37/063050001 : D OC Price $2,246 $12,154 $10,991 $19,461 $8,096 $4,181 $57,129 May 9, 2007 356954 Scope of Services Kodiak Island Borough (KIB) is responsible for management of the Kodiak Island Borough Landfill, including its leachate control system. Leachate drained from the landfill into a stream and natural wetland for over 25 years. In 1986, a perimeter drain system was constructed to direct the leachate to two discharge locations. The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) and the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) informed KIB that leachate control measures were required. KIB has undertaken numerous actions to minimize leachate problems. Prior to the baler coming online, a clay liner was placed over the municipal solid waste to minimize leachate formation, and many sources of potential discharge have been managed through other disposal mechanisms (e.g. oil decant water, sanitary facilities septage). In 1993, the borough retained CH2M HILL to evaluate the leachate situation and prepare alternatives for control and treatment. In 1996, a closure plan was prepared, and it was amended in response to comments from ADEC. CH2M HILL designed the final cover, toe drains, and leachate collection and treatment system in 1998, which were constructed in 1999 and have been monitored in accordance with an ADEC- approved monitoring plan since that time. Since 2002, a series of discussions have been held with ADEC to maintain KIB in compliance with stormwater, surface water, solid waste, and wastewater regulations and criteria, and upgrades have been made to all water management systems. At this time, KIB wishes to explore the alternative approach of constructing additional engineered treatment wetlands and negotiating the point of compliance within the natural wetlands. Under this scenario, effluent from the treatment system would be regulated under wastewater discharge permit, and exceedances of surface water quality criteria eliminated at the toe of the landfill. This Scope of Services includes the following tasks to evaluate, assist in permit negotiations, design, and implement an expanded wetland treatment system at the Kodiak Island Borough landfill: 1. Kick Off and Scoping Meeting 2. Permitting Assistance 2.1. Discharge Permit 2.2. Section 404 Permit 2.3. Draft Permit Application Preparation 3. Prepare and Implement Sampling Plan 3.1. Sampling Plan Preparation 3.2. Sampling Plan Implementation 4. System Design and O &M Documentation 4.1. Settling Basin 4.2. Constructed Wetlands 4.3. Preparation of Bid Documents 4.4. O &M Documentation ANC/rP55371063050001. DOC 2 May 9, 2007 356954 5. Construction Oversight 6. Start -up Oversight This Scope of Services describes the scope, schedule, assumptions, and budget necessary to complete the tasks identified above by the CH2M HILL project team. Tasks 1 -2 contain more detail, as subsequent task activities and level of effort will be determined by the outcomes of these initial tasks. 1.0 Scope of Services Task 1 —Kick Off and Scoping Meeting CH2M HILL will coordinate a project kickoff and scoping meeting with KIB staff. The meeting will be held at KIB's offices to establish our general technical understanding of the project, identify the water sources to be considered, discuss permit issues and options, and receive any supplemental water quality data, map and permit information KIB may have available. Prior to the meeting, CH2M HILL staff will review background information and communications to date. Discussions with KIB staff at this meeting will establish a baseline understanding of KIB's objectives for the project, identify any known concerns, and solicit input regarding engineering preferences for the project prior to moving into the permitting, treatment process and design /construct phase. CH2M HILL onsite representative will be the project manager, with wetland treatment specialists participating remotely by conference call. Minutes of the meeting will be prepared, to document project direction, priorities, and decisions. Task 2 — Permitting Assistance For the purpose of this Scope of Services, we assume that agency meetings identified Tasks 2.1 and 2.2 meetings will occur on the same day in Anchorage, and associated travel costs for our senior wetland technical expert have been included in Task 2.1. Task 2.1 - Discharge Permit Consultation An initial meeting will be held with ADEC Wastewater Division at ADEC offices in Anchorage to address: • The feasibility of collecting all discharges for treatment and discharge covered by a wastewater discharge permit, and likely discharge criteria; • The feasibility of incorporating the natural wetlands as a component of the "treatment system "; and • ADEC concurrence on the point of compliance downstream of the natural wetlands, with the objective being to locate the compliance point just before water leaves Borough property. ANC/TP 5537/063050001. D OC 3 May 9, 2007 356954 Any additional concerns or constraints that ADEC may impose on the system and its discharge will be aired and discussed during this meeting, on which to base system design, permitting, construction, and operations. CH2M HILL project manager and wetland treatment specialist will participate in this meeting in person. Brief notes of the meeting will be prepared, to further document project direction, priorities, and decisions. Task 2.2 - Section 404 Permit Consultation An initial meeting will be held with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) at their offices to: • Brief permit specialists on the project; • Discuss any mitigation requirements for construction in the wetlands, if necessary; and • Air any additional concerns or constraints that the Corps may impose on the system and its construction and operations. CH2M HILL project manager and wetland treatment specialist will participate in this meeting in person. Brief notes of the meeting will be prepared, to further document project direction, priorities, and decisions. Task 2.3 - Draft Permit Application Preparation CH2M HILL will prepare or update draft permit applications for KIB to submit, based on meeting results from Tasks 2.1 and 2.2. Supporting material will be generated in subsequent tasks for KIB to include with the submitted applications. Task 3 — Sampling Plan Task 3.1 — Sampling Plan Preparation Based on information received in Tasks 1 and 2, CH2M HILL will develop a sampling scheme to provide information on any parameters /constituents missing from the historical and current record, and to be used as the basis for system permitting, design, and any monitoring program that might be proposed during operations. The recommended approach summarized will be provided to KIB for review and approval as a Sampling Plan, with associated handling and analysis protocols, and cost estimates. It is expected that this sampling scheme will involve at most 2 sampling events, and the approach will aim to gather critical information in one sampling event if at all possible. The Sampling Plan will be developed by CH2M HILL staff via remote collaboration. Task 3.2 - Sampling Plan Implementation Once reviewed, revised (as necessary) and approved by KIB, CH2M HILL will implement the Sampling Plan. CH2M HILL Anchorage staff will handle all handle all necessary sample collection, preservation, QA /QC, handling, documentation, and delivery to KIB's ANC/TP55371063050001.DOC 4 May 9, 2007 356954 chosen laboratory. CH2M HILL will then receive laboratory results, and review laboratory and field data for reasonableness and potential error. Task 4 — System Design and O &M Documentation Task 4.1 — Settling Basin Conceptual design discussions have identified the benefits of an easily maintainable settling basin to capture solids at the toe of the landfill and prior to discharge into constructed wetlands. Full final design of this system component will evaluate the need for active vs. passive system, and the loading, capacity, and treatment requirements during winter vs. summer. Area needs and exact location will be juxtaposed with area needs for the constructed wetland component, in order to maximize the treatment efficiencies of both components. Design drawings and specifications, including any necessary excavation, will be prepared for the system and associated structures. Task 4.2 - Constructed Wetlands Treatment objectives, loading rates estimated from historical and Task 3.2 data collection, and the location of the point of compliance will be considered in technology selection and sizing of the optimal wetland treatment system. Design drawings and specifications, including any necessary excavation and planting plans, will be prepared for the system and associated structures. Task 4.3 - Prepare Bid Documents CH2M HILL will assemble a complete and bid -ready package using front -end requirements, forms, and conditions provided by KIB. The draft bid package will be submitted for KIB, then will be finalized and provided in reproducible hard copy and electronic format. Task 4.4 - O &M Guide Along with design drawings and specifications for all system components, CH2M HILL will provide a brief O &M Guide as a reference for operating and trouble- shooting the system. It will cover routine and periodic operations and maintenance activities, monitoring requirements. It will also discuss start -up procedures and expected start -up time period and performance expectations. The O &M Guide will also summarize warning signs and testing /evaluation actions to be taken on -site and in a timely manner to address any potential system performance changes. Standard operating performance expectations will be documented. The O &M Guide will be prepared in draft form for client review, and then in final form. ANGTP5537 /063050001.DOC 5 May 9, 2007 356954 Task 5 — Construction Oversight A CH2M HILL engineer will provide periodic or continuous construction oversight for either KIB or contractors, on -site at the time of construction, as requested. For purposes of this Scope of Services, we assume that a CH2M HILL engineer would be on site for 40 hours during construction. Task 6 — Start -up Oversight CH2M HILL will provide an engineer on -site during the start -up period, to oversee system responses to initial inflows, and treatment performance. The engineer will ensure that hydraulic controls and all system components are acting as expected, and will troubleshoot any problems that may arise. Responsibilities of KIB CH2M HILL cannot complete the tasks listed above under the Scope of Services without the close cooperation of KIB's staff. Specific responsibilities of KIB include the following: • Provide specific and recent water analyses for the discharge water(s) to treated by the system. These analyses should include typical ranges of those constituents likely to be regulated and those whose characteristics might affect the treatment capabilities of the systems. • Provide recent color or color infrared aerial photographs and topographic maps of the site if available • Provide timely review comments for draft submittals ANCIT P 5537!063050001.

(SCOK) to provide coordinated transportation on the weekdays to social service agencies. A minimal of public transportation was offered through KATS in the early morning and late evening. KATS was originally set up through a pilot project through the Kodiak Island Borough (KIB) in 1997 with funds coming from several sources to establish the transportation system. KATS, at that time, was mainly a public transit system with minimal service in the middle of the day devoted to the social service agencies and their clients. KIB put out to bid an RFP for providing transit services and contracted with Laidlaw to operate KATS as this pilot project. The pilot project consisted of one bus running an express route from Monashka Bay to Women's Bay and a bus running an in -town route that was also used mid -day for the social service agencies' clients. In late summer 1999, the KIB Assembly decided not to continue or support funding the transit system after the pilot funds expired and not to place a transportation tax on the municipal ballot for that October, 1999 election. Knowing that seniors, low income, developmentally disabled and other Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority beneficiaries needed some kind of coordinated transit service in order to remain independent and also realizing that not every social service agency had the financial or staff means to pay for vehicles, gas, insurance and staff as drivers, SCOK decided to meet with the local social service agencies and discuss the possibility having a coordinated transit system for local area non profits. SCOK became the lead agency for the coordinated transit project and wrote grants in the spring of 2000 to the State Department of Transportation (DOT) for a coordinated transit system in Kodiak. SCOK was successful in writing and administering transportation grant funds and working with other social service agencies to assure adequate transportation was available for their clients. With the other local non profits, SCOK organized the new coordinated transit system to begin in August, 2000 with only one bus in service and one bus as backup. The two KATS buses, which were owned by KIB and had more than 50,000 miles on each, were transferred to the SCOK ownership and SCOK contracted with Laidlaw for operations and administration of the coordinated system. Laidlaw has been under contract for operations and administration of KATS since August, 2000. A new bus was purchased in 2002 with funding from the Rasmsuson Foundation, City of Kodiak and Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority (AMHTA). As part of that Laidlaw contract, maintenance, insurance, drivers' training is all covered. Fuel costs and a separate coordinator fee of $500 per month are paid separately from the administration and operations portion of the contract. 1 KATS presently runs from 6:30 -8 a.m. as a public service; from 8 to 5 p.m. as coordinated system and from 5 -6:30 p.m. as a public system on Monday through Fridays. KATS runs from Monashka Bay to the Coast Guard Base and Women's Bay in the public runs and has certain designated stops along the way. KATS runs as a door -to -door ADA accessible service to non profit clients for the rest of the day and requires a 24 hour notice for pick ups. KATS has regularly scheduled runs to Safeway, downtown, WalMart, Food Bank, senior center, Island Cove Adult Day Program and work related trips. Priorities for the coordinated service is first for medical, dental, clinic, physical therapy, lab appointments; secondly is for work related travel or to the college; scheduled shopping is third priority and personal appointments are last. These priorities have been agreed upon and reviewed by the local non profit agencies. At the present time, there is a need for evenings and weekend service for the social service agencies as well as hours for a regular public transportation system in Kodiak. This plan: 1. Profiles existing transportation services and equipment in the area. 2. Summarizes the known needs and gaps in the current available transit services. 3. Describes the methods used to involve the community in the formations of this plan and summarizes the results of that involvement. 4. Provides several strategies for improvement to the service levels. 5. Outlines Projects for 2007. II. BACKGROUND AND HISTORY Kodiak Area Transit System (KATS) was formed as a pilot project in 1998 & 1999 with the Kodiak Island Borough (KIB). A Transit Technical Assistance Project Report for Kodiak, Alaska was prepared for the Community Transportation Association of American (CTAA) by the consultants Leigh, Scott & Cleary, Inc., in 1994. The Kodiak Chamber of Commerce had received a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture for the evaluation and development of transportation services in agriculturally (including fishing) based communities as a means of promoting economic development. Kodiak was chosen by CTAA as a study site. CTAA in turn retained the services of Leigh, Scott & Cleary, Inc., to assist in the conduct of the study. Agencies who took part in serving on the pilot project committee included representatives from the Kodiak Chamber of Commerce, Senior Citizens of Kodiak, Inc., Kodiak Island Housing Authority, Kodiak Island Hospital, U.S. Coast Guard, Kodiak Island Borough, Kodiak Mental Health, Kodiak Area Native Association and private carriers. With the Technical Project being completed and distributed in 1995, several representatives from Kodiak attended the State Transportation Transit conference for a couple of years and also continued to meet to discuss how to implement the recommendations in the final transit report. By 1997, the Kodiak Island Borough, (KIB) took on the leadership role in implementing the report by issuing an RFP to operate and administer the transit services. Laidlaw was contracted to provide these services by the KIB. From many discussions with service groups, it was decided to have one express route and one in -town route that would be used to transport social service clients during the middle of the day. This limited time was found not to be enough time for the social service clients. The bus routes and services grew to be used by the entire community. When grant dollars were expiring for the pilot project transportation service to continue, concerned citizens started a petition for the KIB assembly to place a transportation tax on the ballot so the people in the community could decide if they wanted to continue to fund a community transportation system. In the summer of 1999, the KIB assembly after receiving the petitions, decided not to place the issue on the fall ballot. Without moving the issue forward for the voters to decide, the assembly automatically discontinued the service. This decision left the social service agencies that had been depending upon KATS, in a lurch with present operating budgets diminishing and KATS no longer in service. KATS did not operate after the KIB assembly decision to not fund the project or place the issue on the ballots for voters to decide the issue. KATS was non operational from October 1999 until August 2000. In August 2000, SCOK, in taking a leadership role in a number of meetings and discussions, met with social service agency representatives to explore the need for services and asked for support for a coordinated transit system to serve agency clients. SCOK wrote proposals to the State of Alaska Department of Transportation for grants for the coordinated KATS service. Those agencies initially involved in resurrecting KATS to a coordinated transit system to service non - profit clients were: Senior Citizens of Kodiak, Inc. Kodiak Island Housing Authority Kodiak Area Native Association Women Infant & Children -WIC Kodiak Job Center Kodiak Island Mental Health Safe Harbor Kodiak Island Borough Providence Kodiak Island Hospital Kodiak College Kodiak Women's Resource & Crisis Center Hope Community Resources Laidlaw These agencies set up the policies for KATS as a coordinated system, the times and priorities for coordinated service and worked with Laidlaw in contracting for operations, administration of services, to be the agencies' coordinator for complaints, and to be the central contact for services. Priorities for transportation for KATS as discussed and decided by the non profit agencies in the original inception of KATS as a coordinated system and which are still in place are: medical, work, scheduled shopping, personal appointments. See attached KATS schedule. Kodiak Area Native Association (KANA) in November, 2002, received a state grant to form a Human Services Coalition (HSC) to meet quarterly to have a forum for exchanging and updating local non profit agencies on agency plans and services and to make sure there was not a duplication of services. This group meets quarterly and receives updated information on KATS, clients and service gaps and is also included in the annual writing and support of the KATS grants to the Department of Transportation. In addition to the above initial agencies who were involved with the reformation of KATS as a coordinated system, the following agencies are now also involved with the coordinated system in support and their clients using the system. Office of Children's Services U.S. Coast Guard Consumer Direct Personal Care Parents as Teachers Rural CAP- Head Start Adult Basic Education Kodiak Food Bank 4 Providence Kodiak Island Counseling Center Threshold Vocational Services State Vocational Office Kodiak Island Medical Clinic North Pacific Medical Clinic Kodiak Chamber of Commerce Koniag Incorporated Kodiak Island School District Providence Kodiak Island Physical Therapy Arctic Physical Therapy Curves CostSavers Kodiak Island Convention & Visitors Bureau Sun'aq Tribe of Kodiak Mack's Sport Shop McDonalds One of KATS strengths is the number of non - profit agencies as well as clinics and businesses who continue to support the coordinated transit system. Each year KATS does a survey for clients and agencies that use the system. These assessments are used in the evaluation of the coordinated transportation service and in understanding the service gaps with KATS. Support letters for KATS are attached with this plan. Minutes from the HSC are attached. Also see attached sample survey results. As part of the requirements for continuing the funding KATS receives from the state, we have held public meetings to assess the transportation service gaps, the number of vehicles owned by the agencies and strategies to meet those service gaps. Meetings have been held at the Kodiak Senior Center and with the Human Services Coalition at the Kodiak College to get information and feedback regarding these issues. Minutes from these meetings are attached. The goals of KATS remain the same: to provide safe and reliable transportation to those residents who need it the most so they might remain living independently for as long as possible. 5 III. COMMUNITY DESCRIPTION Kodiak, the oldest Russian settlement in the State of Alaska, is the second largest island in the country but has only 62 miles of roads. The service area of KATS runs from Monashka Bay to the U.S. Coast Guard Base and on to Women's Bay and is about 14 miles. The KATS bus that serves the public in the morning and evenings runs this route with specific stops. Kodiak's population is 13,638 and has remained steady with a bit of decline these past five years. Kodiak's industry is mainly fishing and government with the town usually in the top five of the nation's largest volume of fish delivered and with the largest Coast Guard base in the country housed here. Most of the growth in the community is out of the downtown area and into the Monashka Bay area where Safeway, Walmart and many new housing developments are located. New housing starts have remained consistent and current housing does not meet the housing demands largely placed by the number of new Coast Guard families in town. The senior population, now at 1292, grows at a 10% rate per year, much like the rest of the state with the fastest growing segment being those 75 and older. Alaska will have the second fastest growing senior population in the country in the next decade. Many people who are in the baby boomer generation and who have lived on Kodiak for a number of years plan to retire here. There is a shortage of housing for seniors but plans are in place to take action for new developments for independent housing as well as assisted living and new long term care facility. See the Kodiak Chamber of Commerce's Community Profile which is attached. 6 IV. ASSESSMENT OF NEEDS In order to provide the greatest amount of input from the community, SCOK and other non profit agencies involved with KATS have used several strategies. These strategies include public meetings, surveys of providers, survey of riders and a review of this transit plan by the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly at a work session on May 10, 2007 and at the assembly regular meeting on May 17, 2007, which had citizen's comments available. While everyone who provides transportation in Kodiak has been invited to the public meetings, it has been difficult to involve private providers other than Laidlaw. Non profit agencies have consistently been involved with KATS from its inception as a coordinated system in setting priorities, policies, reviews, referrals and ways to improve and showing support each year with the Department of Transportation grants as well as to the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly who has provided $10,000 a year in financial support for the system. Public meeting notices and minutes as well as Kodiak Island Borough Assembly meeting agenda and resolution are attached with this plan. Community Meetings Kodiak Human Services Coalition (HSC), which includes all Kodiak non profit providers, has been holding quarterly meetings since November, 2002. At each of these meetings updates are given from each agency as well as addressing needs of KATS coordinated system riders, priorities and overall how the system is working. At these meetings the local non - profits gather in a forum type atmosphere and keep everyone abreast of what each agency is doing. KATS is represented at these meetings by SCOK and Laidlaw. Prior to the Human Services Coalition group forming, KATS had representatives from the local non - profits serving in an advisory capacity for KATS. In addition to the local non - profits representatives, two members from the SCOK Board of Directors were on the committee. Human Services Coalition meeting minutes attached. Public Meetings With the directions coming from the federal government as well as the State Department of Transportation in having a community transit plan in place and including all transit providers, SCOK and other non - profits conducted public meetings prior to those from this year but records of those meetings are not to be found. 7 The first of this year's public meetings happened on February 22, 2007 at the Kodiak Senior Center. At these and subsequent meetings, which were held every two weeks throughout April and May, in addition to the quarterly Human Services Coalition meeting, discussions took place about KATS coordinated service gaps, vehicle inventories, the new grant process and strategies to solve the unmet transportation needs for the next five years. Attached are the minutes from those meetings. What became most apparent at these public meetings was the need for transit services in the evenings and weekends and to provide services to those people who might be at the poverty guidelines but who were not associated with any non - profit agency. These people might need to get to the Community Health Clinic, Head Start for parent meetings, Kodiak College and other areas in town. With only one KATS bus in service and it being mainly used by non - profit clients for most of the day and presently with little mass transit hours, these people who need transportation are not being served. It is projected that with the Community Health Clinic now servicing more than 800 patients each month, the mass transit hours need to increase. The number of patients at the clinic is expected to grow as is the number non profit riders, especially the number of seniors. Another unmet need that was identified at the public meetings was the need for transit service on the weekends and evenings. The final public meeting prior to the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly meeting to review the transit plan and approve by resolution was held May 7 at the Kodiak Senior Center. Minutes from that meeting are attached. Survey of Human Service Providers As a result of the meetings that began in February, 2007, non profit agencies listed unmet needs for KATS and available resources. The following are the present unmet transit needs for KATS 1. Need transportation for Community Health Clinic patients of which the number is growing each month and is now up to 800 patients a month. 2. Need rides for people who are at poverty guidelines but who are not associated with non - profits i.e. Head Start parents to get to nightly meetings at Head Start. 3. Need more service in the evening, mid -day and weekends for everyone. 4. Need more mass transit hours than the present limited service and to use more than one bus. 5. Need more transit time to get people to jobs on Coast Guard base late at night. 6. Need more transit time for nursing home residents. 7. Need rides for growing tourist industry with the number of cruise ships doubling this year and Kodiak becoming a tourist destination. V. Existing Transportation Services Agencies c. d. e. f. g. a. Senior Citizens of Kodiak, Inc. is located in the central downtown area. Its membership and services are for 60 years of age and older.

IDENTIFICATION OF GAPS IN SERVICE Transit Needs Through community meetings and surveys, the following general areas were identified as areas where needs are not being met or the present method of providing for the need is not adequate and needs to be improved. Area of Need & Frequency of Need per Month 1. More hours of coordinated transportation are needed during peak hours at mid -day and also on weekends and evenings — 200 rides 2. More coordinated hours are needed for Kodiak Community Health Clinic patients who cannot afford other transportation and are too sick to walk — 200 rides 3. More coordinated hours are needed for nursing home residents — 28 rides 4. Low income parents need coordinated transportation for Head Start parents in the evenings — 81 rides 5. More hours are needed to get disabled to work in the evenings and weekends — 25 rides 6. More service to KANA clinic on non beneficiary tobacco cessation and anger management sessions — 52 rides 7. More service to get Brother Francis Shelter clients to work in the early morning — 112 rides 8. More coordinated service to provide disabled tourists — 4 rides 9. More service for low income family transportation for single parents who are part of the Child Care Assistance Program — 20 rides 10. More coordinated transportation specifically for shopping and to thrift stores — 20 rides 11. Coordinated transportation for youth employment during the summer months — 50 rides 12. More transit hours to get people to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings throughout the community and on the Coast Guard Base — 20 rides KATS currently averages about 1350 rides per month. With the unmet needs being listed, those projected rides would increase to more than 2000 rides per month. 13 Vehicle Equipment Needs KATS now operates with one vehicle and has one vehicle as a back -up. A new vehicle is on order and should arrive May 14, 2007. We would hope to use the new vehicle for the main use during the weekdays and use the present vehicle to fill the coordinated service gaps and also for more public transit as well. Both present KATS vehicles have more than 100,000 miles on them. The new vehicle will be the main vehicle used, but we also need to plan to replace the aging two vehicles and order another new vehicle, maybe a smaller one, next year. This smaller vehicle could be used on weekends and evenings. In reviewing the inventory of vehicles owned by local non - profits, most are restricted to specific client use. SCOK now fills in for KATS when needed for emergencies and on the first Thursday of each month when the nursing home residents use the KATS vehicle for two hours for a regular outing. Personnel Needs Presently with KATS contract for administration and operations with Laidlaw, drivers are employed by this company. In order to expand service to meet transit needs and expand the service to evenings and weekends, more drivers would be needed and this would increase the operational budget. The administrative budget would remain the same. Included in the contract with Laidlaw for operations are drivers, their training and testing, all maintenance for buses, insurance and dispatch services. SCOK presently pays Laidlaw $6666.25 each month in administrative fees and $35.72 per hour for operations. Fuel is charged separately but KATS receives the Laidlaw discount. Another $500 is paid to Laidlaw for being the main contact for complaints, and to coordinate information going to the non profit agencies. VII. PLANS FOR IMPROVEMENT AND STRATEGIES With the public and Human Services Coalition meetings, the following recommendations for improvements to KATS were discussed. WHAT KATS DOES WELL • Reliable and dependable service for the target population of elderly, developmentally disabled, those at low income and welfare to work each weekday. • Good group of Kodiak providers who continue to support the coordinated system in contracting for rides as well as being supportive for grant proposals and public testimony. • Service meets mission in assisting people of all ages and the target population continues to live independently for as long as possible. • Service is ADA and door -to -door with drivers who are caring and provide good safety to riders. • Contract with Laidlaw is consistent with caring employees who make sure riders are picked up and delivered safely inside of residence. • Coordinated service is flexible but allows for specific days for shopping and other schedules during the day. • Priorities allow for riders to get to medical and dental appointments first. • Mix of populations on the bus each day. • Number of riders continues to increase • Human Services Coalition is ready -made venue for discussing coordinated service at each quarterly meeting with providers. • Complaints are handled by Laidlaw and SCOK immediately and resolved. • KATS continues to provide quality weekday service even in bad winter weather. • Mix of funding sources to maintain operations. • SCOK staff can fill in once a month for nursing home residents to have an outing. • Getting a new vehicle so two present vehicles with more than 100,000 miles will be used for back -up and possibly more operational hours. • Strong non - profit support for services for seven years and system is now on track financially. WHAT KATS NEEDS TO IMPROVE • Increased hours of operation during mid -day, evenings and weekends to serve unmet needs such as increased number of medical appointments at the Kodiak Community Health Clinic, unmet need of more shopping time, evening classes at the college. These needs were identified by riders in the annual KATS survey. • Outreach to those clients who are low income but who are not affiliated with local non profit so they might use service. • Increase hours of operation to meet unmet need of Kodiak Community Health Clinic patients, Head Start parents and Kodiak College students. • Make sure chains are on buses and ready to use at all times in the winter with steep driveways where clients need to be picked up or delivered. • Do more marketing to the community as well as City of Kodiak and Kodiak Island Borough on the asset KATS brings to keeping individuals living independently and benefits to the municipalities. • Have another transit bus to use for increased hours of operations and increase hours of mass transit especially for when new post office is relocated on Near Island. • Better marketing to assure all potential riders who need the service are aware of the coordinated system and use it. • Assure operational funding is stable and sustains system. Issues Strategies High Priority Medium Priority Low Priority Maintain Engage community leaders in x current transit outreach & education level of efforts; participate in KIB services comprehensive planning activities to assure transit is included in plan; identify funding opportunities. Expand Expand hours of operation to X KATS include evenings and service weekends and increase service with 2n vehicle during weekdays so more riders can be at medical appointments and nursing home residents have consistent outings. STRATEGIES TO SERVE TARGET POPULATIONS Enhance Commu nication & Advocac y Continue to use HSC as forum; establish a website; provide newsletter for HSC agencies; increase presence & testimony on a continuing basis before City Council & KIB Assembly. x Outreach With expanded hours, do outreach to patients of Kodiak Community Health Clinic and HeadStart and at HSC meetings to educate potential new riders. x Safe equipme nt in the winter Assure that chains are on vehicle being used so clients can be picked up in steeper driveway areas. X Seek other operatio nal funding Continue to work with HSC for contracts; seek other DOT funding; advocate for transit funding from City of Kodiak. x More mass transit hours Continue to seek more mass transit funding to allow non agency riders services. x Marketin g Complete marketing plan for coordinated service & distribute to agencies. x 19 VIII. PROJECTS 2007 1.Assure KATS buses are safe and can make steep driveways in the winter in order to get riders who need the service to get to medical and other appointments so they might continue to live independently. 2. Develop communication and advocacy strategy at HSC meetings to meet with KIB and City of Kodiak for transit funding support. 3.With the 2" KATS vehicle, look at funding for more coordinated transit hours during the mid - weekdays, evenings and weekends.

Tenant shall, at its expense, maintain the interior of the leased premises at all times in good condition and repair, all in accordance with the laws of the State of Alaska and all directions and regulations of governmental agencies having jurisdiction hereof.

Page 3 of 10 Landlord shall not be responsible or liable for any defect, latent or otherwise, in the building in which the leased premises is situated, or any of the equipment, machinery, utilities, appliances or apparatus therein nor shall it be responsible or liable for any injury, loss or damage to any person or to any property of Tenant or other person caused by or resulting from bursting, breakage or by or from leakage, stream or snow or ice, running or the overflow of water or sewerage in any part of said leased premises, the building, or the surrounding area, or for any injury or damage caused by or resulting from acts of nature or the elements, or for any injury or damage caused by or resulting from any defect in the occupancy, construction, operation or use of any of said leased premises, building, machinery, apparatus or equipment by any person or by or from the acts or negligence of any occupant of the premises, unless Landlord itself is negligent. 10. Fire and Other Casualty. Should the leased premises be damaged by fire or other casualty, and if the damage is repairable within four (4) weeks from the date of occurrence (with the repair work and the preparations therefore to be done during regular working hours on regular work days), the damages shall be repaired with due diligence by Landlord, an in the meantime the monthly rental shall be abated in the same proportion that the untenable portion of the leased premises bears to the whole thereof. Should the leased premises be completely destroyed by fire or other casualty, or should they be damaged to such an extent that the damage cannot be repaired within the four (4) weeks of the occurrence, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this lease, and Landlord shall advise Tenant within thirty (30) days after the happening of any such damage whether Landlord has elected to continue this lease in effect or to terminate it. If Landlord shall elect to continue this lease in effect, it shall commence and prosecute with reasonable diligence any work necessary to restore or repair the leased premises. If Landlord shall fail to notify Tenant of its election within said thirty -day period, Landlord shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this lease, and the lease shall thereafter automatically terminate. The commencement by Landlord of repair work shall be deemed to constitute notice that Landlord has elected to restore or repair the leased premises. For the period from the occurrence of any damage to the leased premises to the date of completion of the repairs (or to the date of termination of the lease if Landlord shall elect not to restore the leased premises), the monthly rental shall be abated in the same proportion as the portion of the leased premises bears to the whole thereof. In the event restoration or repair is delayed by acts or omissions of Tenant, there shall be no abatement of rental during the period of such delay. If the fire or damage is caused by the carelessness, negligence or improper conduct of Tenant, then notwithstanding other provisions of this lease, Tenant shall remain liable for the rent, without abatement, during any period of repair or restoration. If the Landlord, in its discretion, shall decide within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of any fire or other casualty in the building, even though the leased premises may not have been affected by such fire or other casualty, to demolish, rebuild or otherwise replace or alter the building containing the leased premises, then upon written notice given by Landlord to Tenant, this lease shall terminate on a date specified in such notice, but no sooner than thirty (30) days from the date of such notice, as if that date had been originally fixed as the expiration date of the term herein leased. Tenant and Landlord hereby mutually release each other from liability and waive all right of recovery against each other for any loss from perils insured against under their respective fire insurance policies, including any extended coverage and endorsements thereto; Page 4 of 10 provided, however, that this paragraph shall be inapplicable if it would have the effect, but only to the extent that it would have the effect, of invalidating any insurance coverage of Landlord or Tenant. Restoration or repair work conducted in the common areas, in areas of the building unleased, or leased to other tenants, or the noise or interference arising therefrom, shall not be deemed an eviction of Tenant, or a breach of this lease, but Tenant's obligation to pay rent shall be abated during such period of time as Tenant is unable to conduct business at the leased premises by reason of actual physical interference with use of the leased premises as a result of such restoration or repair work. 11. Subletting and Assignment. Tenant shall not sublet the leased premises, or any part thereof, or assign this lease or any part thereof, nor shall this lease be assigned in whole or in part by operation of law or through any court proceedings, without the prior written consent of Landlord to such subletting or assigning; any such assignment or sublease without Landlord's written consent shall be void. If Tenant is a corporation, any merger, consolidation, or dissolution to which it is a party, or any change in ownership of a majority of its voting stock outstanding, shall constitute an assignment of this lease for purposes of this paragraph. 12. Indemnification. Tenant agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and save harmless Landlord from and against any and all claims (no matter how meritless) demands, and causes of action of any nature whatsoever, and any expenses incident to defense of and by Landlord therefrom, for injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring on the leased premises, or in any manner arising out of Tenant's use and occupation of said premises, or the condition thereof, during the term of this lease. Tenant shall procure and maintain public liability insurance coverage, naming Landlord as an insured, which coverage, pertaining to the leased premises, shall not be less than $250,000 per person for bodily injury or death, $500,000 per occurrence for bodily injury or death, and $100,000 for property damage. Landlord shall be an additional named insured in such policy or policies. Such policy or policies shall be written by a responsible insurance company or companies satisfactory to Landlord. Upon the signing of this Agreement, certificates of insurance showing compliance with the foregoing requirements shall be furnished by Tenant to Landlord for approval. Certificates shall state that the policy or policies will not be canceled or altered without at least thirty (30) days, prior written notice to Landlord. Maintenance of such insurance and the performance by Tenant of the obligation under this paragraph shall not relieve Tenant of liability under this indemnity agreement. 13. Common Areas and Facilities. Landlord shall have the right to construct, maintain and operate lighting and other improvements on all said areas; to change the area, level, location and arrangement for common areas and other facilities and temporarily to close the common areas to effect such changes. All common areas and facilities which Tenant may be permitted to use and occupy are to be used and unoccupied under a revocable license, which shall not be unreasonably revoked, and if any such license be revoked or if the amount of such areas be changed or diminished, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or diminution or abatement of rent nor shall revocation or diminution of such areas be deemed constructive or actual eviction. Page 5 of 10 14. Liens. Tenant will not permit any mechanics', laborers' or material men's liens to stand against the leased premises or improvements for any labor materials furnished to Tenant or claimed to have been furnished to Tenant, or to Tenant's agents, contractors, or sublessee, in connection with work of any character performed or claimed to have been performed on said premises or improvements by or at the direction of sufferance of Tenant; provided, however, Tenant shall have the right to contest the validity or amount of any such lien or claimed lien. In the event of such contest, Tenant shall give to Landlord such reasonable security as may be demanded by Landlord to insure payment of such lien or such claim of lien. Tenant will immediately pay any judgment rendered with all proper costs and changes and shall have such lien released or judgment satisfied at Tenant's own expense. The foregoing provisions respecting liens shall apply to all liens, of any kind or nature, asserted against the leased premises or improvements thereon, including liens arising out of, incident to, or connected with the use and occupation of the leased premises by Tenant. 15. Default. If Tenant at any time during the term of this lease (and regardless of the pendency of any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, insolvency or other proceedings, in law, in equity or before any administrative tribunal, which have or might have the effect of preventing Tenant from complying with the terms of this lease) shall: (a) Fail to make payment of any installment of rent or of any other sum herein specified to be paid by Tenant, and Tenant fails to cure such default within ten (10) days after such failure to make payment: or (b) Fail to observe or perform any of Tenant's other covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder, and if within thirty (30) days after Landlord shall have given to Tenant written notice specifying such default or defaults, Tenant shall not have commenced to cure such default and proceed diligently to cure the same; or (c) If Tenant has filed a Petition under Chapter 11 of Bankruptcy Act, 11 O.S.C. 701 et seq., or a voluntary petition under any other provision of said Bankruptcy Act, or if Tenant finally and without further possibility to appeal or review: (1) is adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent; or (2) has a receiver appointed for all or substantially all of its business or assets on the ground of Tenant's insolvency; or (3) has itself appointed as a debtor -in- possession; or (4) has a trustee appointed for it after a petition has been filed for tenant's reorganization under the Bankruptcy Act of the United States known as the Chandler Act or any future law of the United States having the same general purpose; or (5) if Tenant shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, then in any such event Landlord shall have the right at its election, then or at any time thereafter, and while such default, defaults or events shall continue, to give Tenant notice of Landlord's intention to terminate this lease and all Tenant's rights hereunder, on a date specified in such notice, which date shall not be less than ten (10) days after the date of giving of such notice, and on the date specified in such notice, the term of this lease and all rights granted Tenant hereunder shall come to an end as fully as if the lease then expired by its own terms, and Tenant hereby covenants peaceable and quietly to yield up and surrender to Landlord said leased premises and all structures, buildings, improvements and equipment located thereon, and to execute and deliver to Landlord such instrument or Page 6 of 10 16.

Nor shall any forbearance by Landlord to seek a remedy for any breach of Tenant be deemed a waiver by Landlord of its rights or remedies with respect to such breach. 20. Inspection. Landlord shall at all reasonable times during Tenant's business hours have access to the premises for the purpose of inspection. Landlord shall also be entitled to put "to lease" or "for lease" signs in and about the leased premises, and to show the leased premises to prospective tenants, during the last sixty (60) days of the lease term and any extended term, and during any period of time after Landlord has given Tenant a notice of intention to terminate under paragraph 15 of this lease. 21.

Should the leased premises be damaged by fire or other casualty, and if the damage is repairable within four (4) weeks from the date of occurrence (with the repair work and the preparations therefore to be done during regular working hours on regular work days), the damages shall be repaired with due diligence by Landlord, an in the meantime the monthly rental shall be abated in the same proportion that the untenable portion of the leased premises bears to the whole thereof. Should the leased premises be completely destroyed by fire or other casualty, or should they be damaged to such an extent that the damage cannot be repaired within the four (4) weeks of the occurrence, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this lease, and Landlord shall advise Tenant within thirty (30) days after the happening of any such damage whether Landlord has elected to continue this lease in effect or to terminate it. If Landlord shall elect to continue this lease in effect, it shall commence and prosecute with reasonable diligence any work necessary to restore or repair the leased premises. If Landlord shall fail to notify Tenant of its election within said thirty -day period, Landlord shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this lease, and the lease shall thereafter automatically terminate. The commencement by Landlord of repair work shall be deemed to constitute notice that Landlord has elected to restore or repair the leased premises. For the period from the occurrence of any damage to the leased premises to the date of completion of the repairs (or to the date of termination of the lease if Landlord shall elect not to restore the leased premises), the monthly rental shall be abated in the same proportion as the portion of the leased premises bears to the whole thereof. In the event restoration or repair is delayed by acts or omissions of Tenant, there shall be no abatement of rental during the period of such delay. If the fire or damage is caused by the carelessness, negligence or improper conduct of Tenant, then notwithstanding other provisions of this lease, Tenant shall remain liable for the rent, without abatement, during any period of repair or restoration. If the Landlord, in its discretion, shall decide within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of any fire or other casualty in the building, even though the leased premises may not have been affected by such fire or other casualty, to demolish, rebuild or otherwise replace or alter the building containing the leased premises, then upon written notice given by Landlord to Tenant, this lease shall terminate on a date specified in such notice, but no sooner than thirty (30) days from the date of such notice, as if that date had been originally fixed as the expiration date of the term herein leased. Tenant and Landlord hereby mutually release each other from liability and waive all right of recovery against each other for any loss from perils insured against under their respective fire insurance policies, including any extended coverage and endorsements thereto; Page 4 of 10 provided, however, that this paragraph shall be inapplicable if it would have the effect, but only to the extent that it would have the effect, of invalidating any insurance coverage of Landlord or Tenant. Restoration or repair work conducted in the common areas, in areas of the building unleased, or leased to other tenants, or the noise or interference arising therefrom, shall not be deemed an eviction of Tenant, or a breach of this lease, but Tenant, or a breach of this lease but Tenant's obligation to pay rent shall be abated during such period of time as Tenant is unable to conduct business at the leased premises by reason of actual physical interference with use of the leased premises as a result of such restoration or repair work. 11. Subletting and Assignment. Tenant shall not sublet the leased premises, or any part thereof, or assign this lease or any part thereof, nor shall this lease be assigned in whole or in part by operation of law or through any court proceedings, without the prior written consent of Landlord to such subletting or assigning; any such assignment or sublease without Landlord's written consent shall be void. If Tenant is a corporation, any merger, consolidation, or dissolution to which it is a party, or any change in ownership of a majority of its voting stock outstanding, shall constitute an assignment of this lease for purposes of this paragraph. 12. Indemnification. Tenant agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and save harmless Landlord from and against any and all claims (no matter how meritless) demands, and causes of action of any nature whatsoever, and any expenses incident to defense of and by Landlord therefrom, for injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring on the leased premises, or in any manner arising out of Tenant's use and occupation of said premises, or the condition thereof, during the term of this lease. Tenant shall procure and maintain public liability insurance coverage, naming Landlord as an insured, which coverage, pertaining to the leased premises, shall not be less than $250,000 per person for bodily injury or death, $500,000 per occurrence for bodily injury or death, and $100,000 for property damage. Landlord shall be an additional named insured in such policy or policies. Such policy or policies shall be written by a responsible insurance company or companies satisfactory to Landlord. Upon the signing of this Agreement, certificates of insurance showing compliance with the foregoing requirements shall be furnished by Tenant to Landlord for approval. Certificates shall state that the policy or policies will not be canceled or altered without at least thirty (30) days, prior written notice to Landlord. Maintenance of such insurance and the performance by Tenant of the obligation under this paragraph shall not relieve Tenant of liability under this indemnity agreement. 13. Common Areas and Facilities. Landlord shall have the right to construct, maintain and operate lighting and other improvements on all said areas; to change the area, level, location and arrangement for common areas and other facilities and temporarily to close the common areas to effect such changes. All common areas and facilities which Tenant may be permitted to use and occupy are to be used and unoccupied under a revocable license, which shall not be unreasonably revoked, and if any such license be revoked or if the amount of such areas be changed or diminished, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or diminution or abatement of rent nor shall revocation or diminution of such areas be deemed constructive or actual eviction. Page 5 of 10 14. Liens. Tenant will not permit any mechanics', laborers' or material men's liens to stand against the leased premises or improvements for any labor materials furnished to Tenant or claimed to have been furnished to Tenant, or to Tenant's agents, contractors, or sublessee, in connection with work of any character performed or claimed to have been performed on said premises or improvements by or at the direction of sufferance of Tenant; provided, however, Tenant shall have the right to contest the validity or amount of any such lien or claimed lien. In the event of such contest, Tenant shall give to Landlord such reasonable security as may be demanded by Landlord to insure payment of such lien or such claim of lien. Tenant will immediately pay any judgment rendered with all proper costs and changes and shall have such lien released or judgment satisfied at Tenant's own expense. The foregoing provisions respecting liens shall apply to all liens, of any kind or nature, asserted against the leased premises or improvements thereon, including liens arising out of, incident to, or connected with the use and occupation of the leased premises by Tenant. 15. Default. If Tenant at any time during the term of this lease (and regardless of the pendency of any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, insolvency or other proceedings, in law, in equity or before any administrative tribunal, which have or might have the effect of preventing Tenant from complying with the terms of this lease) shall: (a) Fail to make payment of any installment of rent or of any other sum herein specified to be paid by Tenant, and Tenant fails to cure such default within ten (10) days after such failure to make payment: or (b) Fail to observe or perform any of Tenant's other covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder, and if within thirty (30) days after Landlord shall have given to Tenant written notice specifying such default or defaults, Tenant shall not have commenced to cure such default and proceed diligently to cure the same; or (c) If Tenant has filed a Petition under Chapter 11 of Bankruptcy Act, 11 O.S.C. 701 et seq., or a voluntary petition under any other provision of said Bankruptcy Act, or if Tenant finally and without further possibility to appeal or review: (1) is adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent; or (2) has a receiver appointed for all or substantially all of its business or assets on the ground of Tenant's insolvency; or (3) has itself appointed as a debtor -in- possession; or (4) has a trustee appointed for it after a petition has been filed for tenant's reorganization under the Bankruptcy Act of the United States known as the Chandler Act or any future law of the United States having the same general purpose; or (5) if Tenant shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, then in any such event Landlord shall have the right at its election, then or at any time thereafter, and while such default, defaults or events shall continue, to give Tenant notice of Landlord's intention to terminate this lease and all Tenant's rights hereunder, on a date specified in such notice, which date shall not be less than ten (10) days after the date of giving of such notice, and on the date specified in such notice, the term of this lease and all rights granted Tenant hereunder shall come to an end as fully as if the lease then expired by its own terms, and Tenant hereby covenants peaceable and quietly to yield up and surrender to Landlord said leased premises and all structures, buildings, improvements and equipment located thereon, and to execute and deliver to Landlord such instrument or Page 6 of 10 instruments as shall be required by Landlord as will properly evidence termination of Tenant's rights hereunder or its interest therein. In the event of termination of this lease as in this paragraph above provided, Landlord shall have the right to repossess the leased premises and such structures, buildings, improvements and equipment, either with process of law or through any form of suit or proceeding, as well as the right to sue for and recover all rents and other sums accrued up to the time of such termination, and damages for rent not then accrued. Landlord shall also have the right, without resuming possession of the premises or terminating this lease, to sue for and recover all rents and other sums, including damages, at any time and from time to time accruing hereunder. 16.

Waiver and Forbearance. Except to the extent that Landlord may have otherwise agreed in writing, no waiver by Landlord of any breach by Tenant of any of its obligations, agreements or covenants hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other covenant, agreement or obligation. Nor shall any forbearance by Landlord to seek a remedy for any breach of Tenant be deemed a waiver by Landlord of its rights or remedies with respect to such breach. 20. Inspection. Landlord shall at all reasonable times during Tenant's business hours have access to the premises for the purpose of inspection. Landlord shall also be entitled to put Page 7 of 10 "to lease" or "for lease" signs in and about the leased premises, and to show the leased premises to prospective tenants, during the last sixty (60) days of the lease term and any extended term, and during any period of time after Landlord has given Tenant a notice of intention to terminate under paragraph 15 of this lease. 21.

This rate of $1.10 per square foot will be approved in our fee schedule by Resolution No. 2003 -20F in May 2007. The monthly rent will continue to be $591.80 per month which is the amount charged for all of FY 2007.

Fire and Other Casualty. Should the leased premises be damaged by fire or other casualty, and if the damage is repairable within four (4) weeks from the date of occurrence (with the repair work and the preparations therefore to be done during regular working hours on regular work days), the damages shall be repaired with due diligence by Landlord, an in the meantime the monthly rental shall be abated in the same proportion that the untenable portion of the leased premises bears to the whole thereof. Should the leased premises be completely destroyed by fire or other casualty, or should they be damaged to such an extent that the damage cannot be repaired within the four (4) weeks of the occurrence, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this lease, and Landlord shall advise Tenant within thirty (30) days after the happening of any such damage whether Landlord has elected to continue this lease in effect or to terminate it. If Landlord shall elect to continue this lease in effect, it shall commence and prosecute with reasonable diligence any work necessary to restore or repair the leased premises. If Landlord shall fail to notify Tenant of its election within said thirty -day period, Landlord shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this lease, and the lease shall thereafter automatically terminate. The commencement by Landlord of repair work shall be deemed to constitute notice that Landlord has elected to restore or repair the leased premises. For the period from the occurrence of any damage to the leased premises to the date of completion of the repairs (or to the date of termination of the lease if Landlord shall elect not to restore the leased premises), the monthly rental shall be abated in the same proportion as the portion of the leased premises bears to the whole thereof. In the event restoration or repair is delayed by acts or omissions of Tenant, there shall be no abatement of rental during the period of such delay. If the fire or damage is caused by the carelessness, negligence or improper conduct of Tenant, then notwithstanding other provisions of this lease, Tenant shall remain liable for the rent, without abatement, during any period of repair or restoration. If the Landlord, in its discretion, shall decide within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of any fire or other casualty in the building, even though the leased premises may not have been affected by such fire or other casualty, to demolish, rebuild or otherwise replace or alter the building containing the leased premises, then upon written notice given by Landlord to Tenant, this lease shall terminate on a date specified in such notice, but no sooner than thirty (30) days from the date of such notice, as if that date had been originally fixed as the expiration date of the term herein leased. Tenant and Landlord hereby mutually release each other from liability and waive all right of recovery against each other for any loss from perils insured against under their respective fire insurance policies, including any extended coverage and endorsements thereto; Page 4 of 10 provided, however, that this paragraph shall be inapplicable if it would have the effect, but only to the extent that it would have the effect, of invalidating any insurance coverage of Landlord or Tenant. Restoration or repair work conducted in the common areas, in areas of the building unleased, or leased to other tenants, or the noise or interference arising therefrom, shall not be deemed an eviction of Tenant, or a breach of this lease, but Tenant, or a breach of this lease but Tenant's obligation to pay rent shall be abated during such period of time as Tenant is unable to conduct business at the leased premises by reason of actual physical interference with use of the leased premises as a result of such restoration or repair work. 11. Subletting and Assignment. Tenant shall not sublet the leased premises, or any part thereof, or assign this lease or any part thereof, nor shall this lease be assigned in whole or in part by operation of law or through any court proceedings, without the prior written consent of Landlord to such subletting or assigning; any such assignment or sublease without Landlord's written consent shall be void. If Tenant is a corporation, any merger, consolidation, or dissolution to which it is a party, or any change in ownership of a majority of its voting stock outstanding, shall constitute an assignment of this lease for purposes of this paragraph. 12. Indemnification.

Community Development Projects 52 Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 2 SUMMARY Background The island group known as the Kodiak Island Archipelago is located in the Gulf of Alaska and encompasses roughly 5,000 square miles of land. By itself, Kodiak Island is 3,588 square miles making it the second largest island in the United States. The Kodiak Island Borough includes all of the archipelago and the Shelikof Strait shore -side lands of Katmai National Park. The Island of Kodiak consists primarily of mountainous terrain, with most peaks ranging between 3,000 and 4,000 feet. The uplands are drained by relatively short, swift, and clear mountain streams. The population of the Kodiak Island Borough, according to the Department of Labor 2005 estimate is 13,638. The highest concentration of residents is in the City of Kodiak and the road - connected vicinity surrounding the city. The remainder of the population is distributed among the six remote Native communities around the island. Economy The economy of Kodiak is predominantly resource - based, depending on fish harvesting and seafood processing as its largest basic industry. The seafood processing industry provides 19% of the employment in Kodiak. The fish harvesting sector, which is not covered by the state mandatory unemployment security tax (making employment statistics unavailable), represents an estimated 9% of Kodiak's employment. This figure is based on the number of fishing permits held in the Kodiak area and crew factors predicated on the fishery and type of gear used. The timber industry is another resource -based segment of Kodiak's economy. Almost all of the timber is located on Afognak Island, the second largest island in the archipelago.. With the economic downturn in Asia, the primary market for Kodiak timber, there has been a steady decline in exports of lumber. During 2005, the harvesters of this private timber paid a severance tax of over $17 thousand to the Kodiak Island Borough. Other significant sectors of the economy are government, tourism and the aerospace industry. Government (not including the U.S. Coast Guard) constitutes 18% of the Kodiak economy by employment. The Coast Guard alone accounts for 18% of Kodiak's employment. The visitor industry in Kodiak continues to grow and generated an estimated revenue of over $15 million in 2005. The Kodiak Launch Complex (KLC) is the nation's first launch facility not located on federal property and is positioned to meet the challenges and define Alaska's future role in a highly competitive launch industry. The KLC celebrated its first mission November 15, 1998. To date, 6 successful missions have been launched. According to the independent research and consulting firms Information Insights, Inc. and Van Wyhe Rogers Group, LLC in 2005 AADC spending generated approximately $24 million impact on the Kodiak economy - $21.2 million from purchases and hospitality, and $3.2 million in payroll. AADC spent $6.7 million in the direct purchase of goods and services Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 3 in the Kodiak Island Borough, which was distributed among 82 businesses. AADC and its launch customers also spend an estimated $1.9 million on travel and hospitality during launch operations. AADC employs an average of 45 employees and contract workers on site, and its spending creates an additional 72 jobs in the Kodiak economy. Issues The major economic development issue faced by the area is the need for diversification, both in seafood harvesting /processing and in the economy in general. Unemployment in Kodiak is highly volatile, ranging from less than 6% to over 11% in 2006, due to the seasonal nature of the fishing industry. Most of the fish products exported from Kodiak are only minimally processed (usually only headed and gutted). Bringing stability to the seafood processing industry by diversifying into additional areas of value -added (secondary) processing, while at the same time diversifying the economy as a whole, is therefore a major economic development goal for Kodiak Island. Economic development in the remote outlying communities is also an important issue. Most of the communities have aging infrastructure that need upgrading to achieve economic growth. Comprehensive and coordinated planning with the city governments, tribal councils, and area Native associations and corporations will be necessary to overcome these obstacles. The communities have access to the natural resources of the island and the sea, providing an opportunity for economic development in the fish harvesting, seafood processing, and visitor industries as infrastructure constraints are overcome. ORGANIZATION & MANAGEMENT- THE CEDS COMMITTEE The Kodiak Area Chamber of Commerce, having been contracted by the City of Kodiak and the Kodiak Island Borough to provide specific economic development activities, has assembled a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Committee. The Committee consists of twenty -six members, all of who are residents of the Kodiak Island Borough and represent a cross section of the socioeconomic structure of the community. At the April 19 2001 meeting, the CEDS Committee adopted the following Mission Statement: "to help develop strong economies and healthy communities by providing leadership and information to increase Kodiak Island's economic position."

The advent of Russian occupation, with the introduction of salt, paved the way for commercial salmon harvesting. The first salmon cannery was built on the Karluk spit in 1882 to take advantage of the huge sockeye runs. By 1889, 5 canneries were operating on the mouth of the Karluk river. Between 1887 and 1928 records indicate that the sockeye harvest ranged between 1,004,500 (1887) to 4,826,200 fish (1901). Intense competition led to the expansion of commercial fishing into other species of salmon. From 1984 to 1999 the average ex- vessel value of the salmon harvest has been $88.3 million. A record harvest of 39 million salmon occurred during 1993 in the Kodiak Management Area (KMA). Kodiak's highly productive salmon industry is due in part to the fact that there are over 800 salmon streams in the KMA. Before 1950, most Kodiak processing facilities were devoted to salmon. In 1950, 60,000 pounds of king crab were landed and processing capacity was added by building new plants and expanding older ones. The king crab fishery became a major force in Kodiak's economy from 1950 to 1959 as the catch increased from 60,000 to 21 million pounds. In 1968 the City of Kodiak became the largest fishing port in the United States in terms of ex- vessel value. In the late 1960s and the early 1970s when harvest levels began to fall, several processors made the decision to relocate to Unalaska and Dutch Harbor to be closer to the crab supply. This diverted part of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Island harvest away from Kodiak. The 1982/83 season king crab harvest of 8.7 million pounds was the lowest in 24 years, followed by a closure of the fishery by the Department of Fish and Game due to poor stock condition. In 2004, 873,235 pounds of King Crab was landed at the Port of Kodiak. The 1950s also marked the beginning of the Kodiak Shrimp fishery, with a harvest of 31,886 pounds in 1958. The fishery grew rapidly to an annual catch of 10 to 12 million pounds in the early 1960s. The fishery slowed when shore plants and the fishing fleet were badly damaged by the 1964 earthquake and tidal wave, but then grew rapidly to a peak of 82.2 million pounds in 1971. As Kodiak shrimp catches declined in the late 1970s, much of the vessel effort shifted into the Chignik and South Peninsula areas until those areas demonstrated similar declines in the late 1970s. In 2002, less than 3,000 pounds of shrimp was landed at the Port of Kodiak. As the rate of return for Kodiak processing plants declined due to increased competition for resources and over - harvesting, major efforts were made to develop the groundfish fishery. Throughout the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s the ex- vessel value of the groundfish landings in Kodiak increased from $528,000 to over $57 million, making this one of Kodiak's most valuable fisheries. Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 6 Fish processing has provided from ten to nearly forty percent of the total industrial payroll in Kodiak since 1980. Those sectors of the Kodiak economy not directly engaged in fishing consist largely of support services for the fishing industry, or of enterprises that support the people who engage in fishing activities or its support. Today, fish harvesting and seafood processing still dominate the employment opportunity in Kodiak. Together, these two industries provided a combined 27% of total employment in Kodiak for 2005. General Description of the Area The Kodiak Island Archipelago is located in the Gulf of Alaska about 30 miles across Shelikof Strait, and 252 air miles southwest of Anchorage. The island group is approximately 177 miles long and 67 miles across, extending from the Barren Islands on the north, to Chirikof Island and the Semidi Islands group on the south. The Archipelago encompasses roughly 5,000 square miles of land, no point of which is more than 15 miles from the sea. Kodiak Island's 3,588 square miles make it the second largest island in the United States (only the island of Hawaii is larger). The second largest island of the archipelago is Afognak, located north of Kodiak Island. The Kodiak Island Borough includes all of the archipelago and the Shelikof Strait shore -side lands of Katmai National Park. Kodiak Island consists primarily of mountainous terrain, with the ridge of the mountains running northeast- southwest. Although several peaks are greater than 4,000 feet, most range between 3,000 and 4,000 feet. About 40 small cirque glaciers (none greater than 2 miles) are evident along the main divide. Numerous hanging valleys feed into the main canyons radiating from the central divide. The uplands are drained by relatively short, swift and clear mountain streams. The Barren Islands to the north of Shuyak Island are primarily rocky scapes. Tugidak Island on the south is relatively flat and supports extensive areas of wet and moist tundra. The outlying islands south of the Trinity Islands are lower in elevation than Kodiak Island and support more limited vegetation growth. From Shuyak Island to northeastern Kodiak Island, stands of Sitka spruce dominate land from shore to the treeline. These stands extend south to a general northwest - southeast dividing line running from Kupreanof Peninsula to Cape Chiniak. Southwest Kodiak Island is relatively flat and supports extensive areas of wet and moist tundra. Exposed bedrock and shallow soils prevail along the 2500 -mile rugged coastline. Northwest Kodiak shows effects of glaciation, with long, narrow fjords and U- shaped valleys. These lie perpendicular to the mountains and the geologic fault lines. Rivers typically enter at the heads of the fjords and are backed by extensive flat lands. The east and southeast coasts of the Archipelago are characterized by shorter, wider estuarine embayments. Southwest Kodiak Island and the Trinity Islands tend toward long, continuous shorelines with few bays. Most of the sandy beaches occur on the west coast of Kodiak Island and the Trinity Islands. Specific geographic features within the Kodiak Island Borough include: offshore areas; estuaries; lagoons; wetlands and tidelands; rocky islands and sea - cliffs; exposed high - energy coasts; rivers, streams, and lakes; and important upland areas. Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 7 Offshore Areas: Offshore areas include submerged lands and waters beyond mean lower low water to the limit of Kodiak Island Borough. Because of the extensive estuarine system of the Borough, offshore areas are those outside the headlands of the estuaries. Living resources are abundant in the Borough's offshore area. Dominant fauna include shellfish, finfish, marine mammals, and marine birds. Kelp and other macroalgal beds provide habitat for sea otters, spawning herring, and juvenile fish. They are important feeding areas for waterfowl and marine birds, and provide valuable primary production exported as algal drift, which is assimilated elsewhere in the marine ecosystem. Estuaries: In the borough, most nearshore marine waters are designated as estuarine because of their extensive dilution by fresh water. Estuarine areas are considered to extend from headland to headland of bays, inlets, and fjords. Well- developed delta systems, apparently dominated by tidal action, lie at the head of most Kodiak fjords. Kodiak estuarine areas are highly productive. The complexity of the submarine topography and sediments and good algae growth, including extensive kelp beds, provide basic nutrients and diverse habitat to support herbivore and carnivore populations. In addition, many marine finfish and shellfish utilize the estuarine areas during larval and juvenile stages of development. Lagoons: Lagoons are most prevalent in the south and southwestern portions of the Archipelago. Unlike other estuarine systems of the Islands, lagoons included in this habitat are shallow and tend to have sandy or flat shorelines. Wetlands and Tideflats: The presence of coastal tidelands surrounding the Kodiak Archipelago is relatively low; however, the actual amount of habitat varies by region. Kodiak and Afognak Islands have very limited tideflat wetland complexes. Extensive tideflat- wetland complexes usually occur only at the heads of bays or around lagoons on these islands. In addition to these saltwater habitats, large inland wetlands occur in the Karluk River and Ayakulik River drainages in southwestern Kodiak. In sharp contrast to the availability of these habitat types on Kodiak and Afognak Islands, shorelines around the Trinity Islands contain extensive tideflats, and most of the Tugidak Island mainland is wetland habitat. Tideflat- wetland complexes provide valuable habitat for birds and marine mammals, particularly when used in combination with adjacent waters. In addition, the tideflat areas, especially those that are composed of sandy beaches, provide habitat for abundant clam and polychaete populations. Rocky Islands and Seacliffs: Rocky islands generally have rock or cliff -lined shorelines. Occasionally rocky islands have tundra - vegetated interiors or areas along their coasts that are fairly level. This habitat category applies to most of the offshore islands. Along the coast of the major islands, however, this habitat type is limited to those shores with vertical cliffs. Offshore rocky islands and seacliffs are particularly important to marine mammals and marine birds as haulout and nesting sites. Many of these sites are along the east coast of Kodiak Island in the vicinity of Chiniak and Ugak Bays. The remaining sites are distributed around the archipelago and along the shoreline on the west side of Shelikof Strait. Exposed High - Energy Coasts: Exposed bedrock shores comprise approximately 50 percent of Kodiak and Afognak Islands, and a large percentage of the Alaska Peninsula coastline on the west side of Shelikof Strait. Almost 90 percent of the Barren Islands Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 8 are exposed bedrock. Exposed bedrock shores usually have moderate to steep gradients. Exposed high- energy coasts provide habitat for a variety of marine littoral - zone flora and fauna, which in turn are used by important fish and wildlife resources. In addition, high- energy coasts provide feeding and nesting habitat for bird species and a food source and resting habitat for marine mammals. Rivers, Streams, and Lakes: The largest lakes and longest rivers within the Borough are located in southwest Kodiak Island. Major southwest lakes include Karluk, Frazer, Red, Akalura, and South Olga lakes. Other important lake systems on Kodiak Island, such as Spiridon, Little River, Uganik, Terror, Buskin, and Lake Rose Tead, are significantly smaller. Small pothole and high mountain lakes are also prevalent. Pothole lakes are generally found along the Upper Ayakulik River, between Olga Bay and the ocean, at the mid -reach of the Karluk River, on the Lower Aluilik Peninsula, and throughout Tugidak Island. Pothole lakes are also prevalent in the north and northeast sections of Afognak Island and on Shuyak Island. Major lakes on Afognak Island include: Selief Lake, Afognak Lake, Big and Little Kitoi Lakes, Pauls, Laura, and Gretchen Lakes, Portage Lake, Little Waterfall Lake, Hidden Lake, and Upper and Lower Melina Lakes. Due to the steep topography of the Aleutian Range mountains on the west side of Shelikof Strait, there are few lakes located in that area of the Kodiak Island Borough. With the exception of the Ayakulik and Karluk rivers in southwest Kodiak Island, rivers in the archipelago tend to be short and steep, often originating in small mountain lakes or small glaciers. Rivers, streams, and lakes provide critical aquatic habitat for resident and anadromous fish populations. In addition, they support summer and winter activities of bird and mammal populations, particularly waterfowl, bear, beaver, and land otters. Rivers and streams are the conduit for the freshwater component of estuarine systems, and serve as a valuable link between upland and marine environments. Uplands: The archipelago uplands can be subdivided into four general areas based primarily on vegetative and terrain features. These areas are; (1) north of Kodiak Island, (2) the major portion of Kodiak Island, (3) southwest of Kodiak Island, lower Aliulik Peninsula, and the Trinity Islands, and (4) the Alaska Peninsula coastline west of Shelikof Strait. The first category, characterized by well - developed stands of mature Sitka spruce, includes Shuyak, Afognak, Raspberry, Whale, Spruce, and Marmot Islands. The major portion of Kodiak Island forms the second category of uplands. Upland habitat distributions are closely related to differences in elevation. At very high elevations, unconsolidated material is generally absent. Below the peaks, mountainous areas have typical alpine vegetation. Steep mountains below 3,000 feet have dense shrub and ground cover. Lower slopes and valley floors are covered by sand and gravel of glacial origin, valley alluvium, alluvial fans, talus deposits, and ash from the 1912 eruption of Mt. Katmai. Cottonwood and occasionally Kenai birch, are common stands along the lower reaches of major drainages. The third region includes southwest Kodiak Island and the Trinity Islands. This region escaped glaciation and is vegetatively and topographically different from the rest of the Kodiak Archipelago. Plants are uniquely similar to species found in the Alaskan Arctic and unlike those found elsewhere in the Archipelago. The area is characterized by extensive moist and wet tundra surrounded by rounded low hills. Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 9 The upland terrain along the west side of Shelikof Strait is dominated by the northeast - southwest trending mountains of the Aleutian Range. The short, steep - gradient drainages to the Gulf of Alaska are generally situated in steep valleys with cottonwood stands along the stream courses. At higher elevations, the vegetation is characteristic alpine tundra and bare rock and soil. Land Use and Ownership: Borough Lands - The Kodiak Island Borough owns roughly 30,000 acres of land within the Borough. Most of this land was originally obtained and selected under municipal entitlement from the State of Alaska; the configuration of other parcels are the result of land trades with the State and occasional tax foreclosures. The majority of Borough land is located on Raspberry Island; Ugak Bay and Hidden Basin also include numerous pockets that total a sizeable portion of Borough land acreage. Lease and disposal of Borough lands are subject to review by the Planning and Zoning Commission and approval by the Borough Assembly. The Kodiak Island Borough zoning ordinance contains 18 zoning districts: Watershed (W); Wildlife Habitat (WH), Natural Use Lands (NU); Conservation (C); Rural Development (RD); Rural Residential (RR); Rural Residential One (RR1); Rural Residential Two (RR2); Single Family Residential (R1); Two Family Residential (R2); Multi - Family Residential (R3); Business (B); Rural Neighborhood Commercial (RNC); Urban Neighborhood Commercial (UNC); Retail Business (RB); Light Industrial (LI); Industrial (I); and Public Use Lands (PL). Three special use codes are used for mobile homes, zero lot line residential and sing residential occupancy (SRO). Recreational land use includes 11 borough parks totaling 60 acres in size. State Lands - The most significant State lands in the Borough are the vast tidelands. The State also owns a significant amount of upland area in the Borough. Most State uplands are in the northeast part of the Borough near the City of Kodiak, south around Ugak Bay to Dangerous Cape, northeast Afognak Island and Shuyak Island. The Division of State Parks within the Alaska Department of Natural Resources (DNR) manages all state parkland in the Borough. A few areas have had management authority transferred to other State agencies. In 2004/05 DNR completed the Area plan for Alaska State Lands that provided a land use policy for all state lands not assigned to a specific agency. The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities manages roads and airport facilities, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF &G) manages the Tugidak Island Critical Habitat Area and the Division of State Parks within DNR manages state parklands. State parks accessible by road include: Fort Abercrombie, Buskin River and Pasagshak State Recreation Sites. Most of Shuyak Island and a large portion of northeast Afognak Island are undeveloped state parks accessible only by water or air. In total, 5 state parks throughout Kodiak Island comprise 96,228 acres. Federal Lands - Much of the Borough contains land managed by federal authorities. The major federal landowner in the Borough is the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). USFWS manages the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge (KNWR), which comprises 1.8 million acres of the archipelago, the Becharof and Alaska Peninsula National Wildlife Refuge (APNWR), and the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge (AMNWR). The USFWS is the largest single landowner in the Borough. The Borough boundary on the west, across Shelikof Strait, includes a portion of Katmai National Park Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 10 managed by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service. The refuges are managed primarily for wildlife, yet allow a wide variety of recreational and commercial uses that do not interfere with the primary purpose of each refuge. The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), Department of Homeland Security, manages several important facilities on Kodiak Island. The U.S. Coast Guard base Kodiak, which is located near the Kodiak urban area, contains over 21,000 acres. The base complex provides infrastructure to support several Coast Guard Cutters, Air Station Kodiak, Integrated Support Command Kodiak, Communications Station Kodiak, Loran Station Kodiak, Electronic Support Unit Kodiak, North Pacific Fisheries Training Center, Marine Safety Detachment Kodiak, plus several other Coast Guard detachments. The U.S. Navy SEAL (Sea, Air, Land Special Operations) Cold Weather Training Detachment is housed on the base facilities at Spruce Cape. Other tenants located on the main complex include the Federal Aviation Administration, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Weather Service, and the National Marine Fisheries Service. The US Coast Guard base contains a full range of facilities and land uses usually associated with a major urban area, including recreational, residential, institutional, and commercial. The uses of land on the base and other federal facilities are generally exempt from local regulation. However, the uses are subject to federal requirements such as the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and other environmental laws such as the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. A portion of the scattered small rural parcels in the Borough are federal trust lands. Except for Native Allotments and Federal Townsite lots, no other federal trust lands, such as Indian reservations, exist in the Borough. These parcels are held in trust by the federal government in the name of the owner. The activities on the parcel and any transfer of title must be approved by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). Since they are federal trust lands, the parcels are exempt from most local and state regulations, as well as taxation, until ownership is transferred. Federal environmental laws such as NEPA and the Clean Air and Water Acts do apply. Private Lands - The greatest growth among land ownership categories in the Borough has been privately held lands. Most of the lands selected by the Native regional corporation, Koniag, and the village corporations have been transferred for management or patented to the corporations. Over 675,000 acres of land have been transferred to these private corporations. This amounts to about 14 percent of the total land mass of the Borough. Much of this acreage, such as that on Afognak Island, was selected for timber resources or other development potential. However, some of this acreage was selected from within Wildlife Refuges and contains areas with high habitat values for fish and wildlife. The surface estate to former Wildlife Refuge lands is subject to regulation to ensure its protection in a manner compatible with the management objectives of the Wildlife Refuges and the subsurface estate (mineral rights) to such land was retained by the federal government. Except for lands previously part of a Wildlife Refuge, the subsurface estate of all Native lands is owned by Koniag, Inc. Population and Urban Centers: The total 2005 estimated population of the Kodiak Island Borough is 13,638. Following are descriptions of the major population areas: Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 11 The City of Kodiak is located near the northeastern tip of Kodiak Island. The city is 45 minutes by air from Anchorage and just over 3 hours flight time from Seattle. The Alaska State Ferries, the MN Tustumena and M/V Kennicott, connect Kodiak with Port Lions and the communities of the Kenai Peninsula. The Kodiak State Airport has three paved runways of various lengths with FAA tower services. Kodiak also features a municipal airport with a 2,883 foot paved runway. There are floatplane facilities at Lilly Lake, St. Paul Harbor, and Trident Basin on Near Island. The city is served by two airlines conducting a total of 7 flights daily between Anchorage and Kodiak. Kodiak is also served by two all -cargo carriers and one scheduled intra - island carrier. The Port of Kodiak Municipal Harbor, owned by the City of Kodiak, is home to Alaska's largest fishing fleet, having a total of 650 slips. The City of Kodiak has 6,088 residents. The surrounding road - connected residential areas are Chiniak, Monashka Bay, Service District 1, the U.S. Coast Guard base, and Women's Bay. The combined population of these areas is approximately 6,500. In addition to the City of Kodiak and vicinity, other population concentrations include the six Native communities found in the archipelago: Ouzinkie is located on the southwest shore of Spruce Island which lies just off the northeast end of Kodiak Island in the Gulf of Alaska. The community of Ouzinkie is 10 air miles north of the City of Kodiak, and 247 air miles southwest of Anchorage. Spruce Island is characterized by swampy areas, volcanic and sedimentary rock, and an abundance of tall spruce trees. Ouzinkie was founded in the early 1800s by the Russian American Company as the site of a retirement community. The current population of Ouzinkie is 192. The Island Provider, an Intra- Kodiak Island marine cargo vessel, delivers freight on demand from Kodiak. The state of Alaska's 2,500 -foot gravel runway is maintained by the City. There is no crosswind runway or tower services. Island Air Service makes scheduled passenger and mail trips to Ouzinkie. Charter service between the City of Kodiak and Ouzinkie is also available from several charter air services. Port Lions is located near the mouth of Kizhuyak Bay on the north end of Kodiak Island near Whale Island the City of Kodiak and the Shelikof Strait. The City of Kodiak is 19 air miles to the southeast, with Anchorage 247 air miles to the northeast. The mountainous terrain is covered with Sitka spruce, cottonwood, birch, alder and willow trees. Port Lions was established following the partial destruction of Afognak Village, on Afognak Island, by a tsunami in 1964. Approximately 195 people live in Port Lions. From March through September, the State of Alaska's M/V Tustumena ferry stops at Port Lions. The 2,600 -foot State -owned gravel airstrip can accommodate small twin - engine aircraft. There is no crosswind runway or tower services. Island Air Service and Servant Air provide mail and passenger service. Charter air service between Port Lions and the City of Kodiak is also available. Float planes can land at the harbor. The 12 miles of gravel - surfaced roads are maintained by the City of Port Lions. Larsen Bay is located near the junction of Larsen Bay and Uyak Bay fjords on the northwest coast of Kodiak Island. Larsen Bay is 60 miles southwest of the City of Kodiak, and 283 miles southwest of Anchorage. Larsen Bay is situated in a valley between tree and shrub covered hills and mountains. The village of Larsen Bay has been an Alutiiq village for centuries. Russian fur traders brought trade to the area Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 12 during the mid- 1700s. A commercial fish cannery was first established in Larsen Bay in 1912. There are about 96 residents of the village. During the summer months the village of Larsen Bay more than doubles in population as commercial fishing gets underway. Summer and fall are also characterized by an influx of tourists seeking to go sport- fishing, bear viewing, deer and waterfowl hunting, and sight- seeing. The Island Provider makes trips from Kodiak upon request and Coastal Transportation has two scheduled stops a year. The State of Alaska's 2,500 -foot gravel runway has no crosswind runway or tower services. Regular passenger and mail services are provided by Island Air Service. The community is also served daily by several air services from Kodiak. Floatplanes land in the bay near the community. The 3.5 miles of gravel roadway are maintained by the City of Larsen Bay. Karluk is located on the northwest side of Kodiak Island facing the Shelikof Strait. Karluk is 67 air miles southwest of the City of Kodiak, and 301 air miles southwest of Anchorage. The terrain of the area is characterized by low -lying mountains laced with rivers and streams. The Karluk River runs through the community and features all five species of salmon. In 1786, a permanent community was established as a Russian trading post. In the early 1900s Karluk was a major salmon producing community with several canneries processing millions of fish. A prominent feature in the community is the Karluk Russian Orthodox Church, a historical landmark. There are about 42 people residing in Karluk. The State of Alaska's 1,700 -foot runway can accommodate a Cessna 208 caravan. There is no crosswind runway or control tower. Island Air Service provides regular passenger service. There is about one mile of gravel road in the community. Akhiok is situated on the west side of Alitak Bay between Kemph Bay and Moser Bay on the south end of Kodiak Island. It is about 98 air miles southwest of Kodiak City. The local shoreline is characterized by narrow rocky beaches with a gradual incline up to surrounding uplands. The terrain around Akhiok is low hills and tundra like valleys and flat land. The village site was established in 1881. The tsunami of 1964 destroyed the village of Kaguyak, just to the east of Akhiok, and all the Kaguyak villagers were relocated to Akhiok. There are about 58 people living in this strong Orthodox faith - based community. Residents of the community are predominantly Aleut with a small number of Caucasian and Filipino. The serene, beautiful village is home to an abundance of animal life including the Sitka black tail deer, five species of salmon and many other salt water fish species; all of which sustain the subsistence lifestyle of the majority of Akhiok residents. Currently, twenty -two Alutiiq dancers, ranging in age from 2 years to adulthood perform for visitors and across the state of Alaska. Access to Akhiok is by water or air. Island Air Service provides daily service from Kodiak to Akhiok. Charter flights are also available from other island -based carriers. The State of Alaska operates a 3,120 -foot runway south of the town. There is no crosswind runway or tower services. The facility can be used by wheeled general aviation and amphibious float - planes. Old Harbor is located on the southeast side of Kodiak Island on Sitkalidak Strait off the Gulf of Alaska. The community is about 50 miles southwest of Kodiak and 300 miles southwest of Anchorage. The Alutiiq people settled Old Harbor more than 7,000 years ago. The community is the site of the first Russian colony in Alaska. There are about Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 13 196 people living in Old Harbor. Old Harbor is the site of a historic Russian Orthodox Church. Old Harbor's economy is based on commercial fishing. Tourism is also a growing part of the economy. MN Lazy Bay offers service between Kodiak and Old Harbor. Coastal Transportation stops at Old Harbor on an as- requested basis to deliver freight from Seattle. The State of Alaska owns and operates the 2,200 -foot runway that can accommodate twin otter aircraft. No flight tower or crosswind runway is available. Island Air Service and Servant Air provide regular passenger and mail service to Old Harbor. The village is also served by several charter air services on a daily basis from the City of Kodiak. Remainder of Borough. Remote areas of the borough, including Kazakof Bay on Afognak Island (the site of two logging camps), have a total population of approximately 300 people. Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 14 ALAOKA 1 • Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 15 Natural Resources Fisheries The most important natural resources to the economy of Kodiak are the fisheries. Fish stocks harvested and brought into Kodiak for processing are found in the Gulf of Alaska, the Aleutian Islands, and the Bering Sea. The quantity of retained catch brought into the Kodiak Island Borough for processing during 2005 is indicated in the graph below. 60,000 - 50,000 40,000 30,000 20,000 10,000 0 Metric Tonnes 2005 Total Fish Processed by Species Total Deliveries to Kodiak Processors Source: Alaska Department of Fish and Game Timber The forest products industry is a declining segment of the Kodiak economy. The Sitka spruce forested area of the Borough continues to expand from its initial occurrence on the northern islands toward both the South and West. Due to the nature of the relatively young emerging stands, the initial open -grown trees have less natural pruning and subsequently exhibit more knots than would similar trees in mature stands or second growth stands with higher volumes per acre. The stands now in place are relatively short in comparison to the more highly developed stands of Southeast Alaska -130 feet as compared to 200 feet in total height. Second growth stands that develop with natural regeneration following clear- cutting will produce more recoverable volume per acre and higher sawlog grades in a shorter period of time than the present stands contain. Approximately two - thirds of the timber recovered from the existing stands is grade 2 or better sawlog material while the remainder is grades 3 and 4 sawlogs. During 2006, the harvesters of this private timber paid a severance tax of $62,740 to the Kodiak Island Borough. One forest products company operates within the Kodiak Island Borough, at Danger Bay. The reason for the decrease in production is due to the decreased prices in Asia for our timber. Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 16 Outer Continental Shelf The Kodiak Island Borough contains portions of sedimentary petroleum provinces or basins within the Cook Inlet Planning Area for Oil and Gas Lease 149. Three petroleum - exploration geologic plays are recognized in the sale area. A geologic play is a group of geologically related prospects with a similar hydrocarbon source, reservoir, and trapping mechanism. Only portions of two of these plays, the Mesozoic Structural Play, and the Mesozoic Stratigraphic Play, fall within the boundaries of the Kodiak Island Borough. The Mesozoic Structural Play covers most of the sale area, extending from the northeastern limit of the sale area in Cook Inlet into the northeastern portion of the Shelikof Strait in the Kodiak Island Borough. The Mesozoic Stratigraphic Play is best developed in the central and southern parts of the sale area, running the entire length of the Shelikof Strait and encompassing the northeastern half of the Strait as well as the shore -side lands of the Alaska Peninsula. The ultimate potential for the base case in the entire sale area (not all of which is located within the boundaries of the Kodiak Island Borough) is estimated to be 500 million barrels. The high side potential is estimated to be 1.2 million barrels. Resource estimates for only those portions of the Sale Area located within the Kodiak Island Borough are not available. Metallic Minerals Kodiak Island Borough contains two regional metal provinces —areas characterized by a distinct association or anomalous concentrations of metals. These provinces are also characterized by the potential for mineral development and concentrations of mining claim activity. The two metal provinces occupy the northwest half of the Borough. The province that extends along the northwest coast of the Borough is rated high for the occurrence of chromium and copper. The second province, which extends from near the northwest coast to the middle of the Borough is not rated high. The major commodities are gold and copper; the minor commodities are lead, zinc, silver, and tungsten. Exploration for minerals in the Borough has been sporadic and limited to areas of easy access. Nearly all the mineral claims and areas of related activity are located near water passages. The interior portions of the islands are relatively unexplored. It has been estimated that less than 20 percent of the Borough has been adequately prospected. Although no commercial metallic deposits have been discovered in the Archipelago, the potential is present in the form of adequate intrusive units and widespread host rocks. Historically, gold has been the major commodity found in the Borough, in both placer and lode deposits. Metallic mineral resource development has occurred in the past on a small scale, but at present there are no commercial -scale mining activities. Placer Deposits. Placer deposits occur along beaches and are believed to be the result of wave and current action on the tills and gravels that form the sea cliffs along portions of the northern and western coasts. A direct geologic relationship between the placer gold and the gravels and tills has not been established since gold has not been found in these sediments. The ultimate source of the placer gold is probably quartz veins in the slates and graywacks of the interior part of the island. The probability of offshore placer gold deposits is considered low. Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 17 Placer operations have generally been small -scale and worked from time to time. It has been estimated that $150,000 worth of gold was recovered from the beach sands in the early twentieth century. Very minor quantities of platinum and chromite were recovered with the placer gold. Magnetite and pyrite have also been recovered from placer deposits. Lode Deposits. Lode gold prospects, mainly in quartz veins, occur throughout the Borough. The gold lode deposits are associated with the quartz intrusives and with dikes and sills that are probably related at depth to the intrusives. The host rocks are generally slates and graywackes. The lode deposits were discovered in the late 1800s, and have been sporadically explored and worked since then. Load mining took place mostly before World War I, and to a lesser extent until about 1935. None of the attempts to mine lodes has been commercially successful —with the possible exception of the Amok Claim at Uyak Bay. Several other gold lodes were prospected in the Uyak Bay area around the turn of the century. Some gold was probably taken out of these lodes by their discoverers, but there is no recorded production, and after minor development, they were abandoned. Assays on load of the east shore of Uganik Passage showed high gold tenor, and a small mill was installed on the property in 1935. There is no recorded production. Scheelite (tungsten ore) was found disseminated as fine grains and veinlets in quartzitic zones in graywacke on Chalet Mountain near the head of Anton Larsen Bay. Investigations on this ore in the late 1950s concluded that these deposits are not commercial. A copper prospect located on the northwestern side of Sitkalidak Island was examined in the late 1930s and early 1940s. At the time, the deposit was not considered commercial. Lode occurrences of other commodities, such as silver, lead, and zinc, have been reported. The occurrence of placer deposits of chromite and platinum suggests the presence of lode deposits along the northwest coast. Nonmetallic Minerals Thin beds of coal have been reported in Tertiary sediments in the eastern part of Kodiak and on Sitkinak Island. None of the coal exposed in surface outcrops has sufficient reserves to be considered commercial. A large sand and gravel deposit is located on one of the Trinity Islands. Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 18 Environmental Issues Endangered and Threatened Species Endangered or threatened species that occur in the Kodiak Island Borough, or may enter the area with varying frequency, include the following: Fin Whale (endangered): The North Pacific fin whale population, protected from commercial harvest by the IWC since 1976, currently lies between 14,620 and 18,630 individuals, less than half the estimated pre - exploitation population. In Alaska, some whales spend the summer feeding over the continental shelf in the Gulf of Alaska, including portions of lower Cook Inlet, Shelikof Strait, outer banks of the Kodiak archipelago, and along the Alaska Peninsula. Fall migration occurs from September to November with some fin whales consistently wintering in the Kodiak Island area, primarily observed in bays and inshore waters from northwestern to southwestern Kodiak Island and possibly the Gulf of Alaska; however, most of the North Pacific population is believed to winter far offshore at latitudes from central California to Baja California. Northward migrating fin whales enter the Gulf of Alaska from March to June, and peak occurrence in the Kodiak Island- northern Gulf of Alaska area is reached by May. Humpback Whale (endangered): The North Pacific humpback whale population, estimated to number 4,005 individuals, remains greatly depleted from pre - commercial whaling levels of about 15,000. Humpbacks were protected from commercial harvest by the IWC in 1966. Small numbers of humpbacks have been observed in bays of western and northwestern Kodiak Island. The limited data available suggest that waters along the south side of the Alaska Peninsula to the eastern Aleutians may be of particular importance to summering humpbacks. Substantial numbers of humpbacks have been sighted between the Kenai Peninsula and Afognak Island, with summer feeding aggregations occurring in Marmot Bay and Northeast Afognak Island. In the Barren Islands, as many as 50 individuals have been sighted simultaneously, with at least 100 present in local areas. Humpbacks are estimated to be present in this area from mid -May until late August or September. Sei Whale (endangered): The North Pacific sei whale population is estimated at 9,110 individuals; a definite trend for this species since its protection by the IWC in 1976 is not evident. Sei whales are found offshore in the Gulf of Alaska and south of the Aleutian Islands in summer, with numbers peaking in May and June. Southward migration begins in August or September. Beluga Whale (threatened): Beluga whales in Cook Inlet have been listed as threatened under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). Over - harvesting by native subsistence hunters has been identified as the cause for the steep population decline over the past decade. However, the MMPA listing, as well as a measure passed by Senator Stevens in Congress, has given the National Marine Fisheries Service the tools that it needs to regulate the native subsistence hunt. As a result, hunters have been limited to a small annual take, as compared to the 80 or more whales they were harvesting annually. The population has now begun to recover with the latest survey showing 435 whales, compared to 350 whales in 1998. Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 19 Steller Sea Lion (threatened): The total adult/juvenile (nonpup) Steller (northern) sea lion population in Alaska was estimated to have been 28,658 animals in 1998 and declining, especially in the area from the central Aleutian Islands to at least the Kenai Peninsula in the Gulf of Alaska where a decrease of 66 percent since 1989 has occurred. An estimated 12,299 sea lions occupied the Gulf of Alaska (excluding southeast Alaska) in 1998. A number of sites rather evenly distributed around the Kodiak archipelago have been historically recognized as areas of sea lion concentration. The range of sea lion concentrations extends from the Barren Islands south to Chirikof Island and the Semidi Islands, and to the Alaska Peninsula shoreline on the west side of Shelikof Strait between Katmai Bay and Hallo Bay. Among them are the most important sea lion rookeries in the Gulf of Alaska including Sugarloaf Island, Marmot Island, and Chirikof Island. It is believed that sea lions use these sites year round with fewer present in winter. Aleutian Canada Goose: Current breeding range of the Aleutian Canada goose includes several islands in the central and western Aleutians, and Kiliktagik and Anowik Island in the Semidi Islands south of the Alaska Peninsula. Peak counts on the wintering areas (California, Oregon) suggest the current population is about 37,000 individuals. The Aleutian Canada Goose was reclassified from endangered to threatened status as of 1991. Due to the cooperative efforts of state, federal, private and international partners the Aleutian Canada Goose is on the verge of a dramatic recovery and will soon be removed from the list of threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. Steller Eider (threatened): In March 2000 the US Fish and Wildlife Service proposed to designate approximately 17,000 square miles of land and 8,440 square miles of marine waters as critical habitat for the Alaska- breeding population of Steller's eider, a threatened sea duck. There are three populations of Steller's eider. Two breed in Russia and one breeds in Alaska. Only the Alaska- breeding population is listed as threatened. The historical population size and distribution of Alaska- breeding Steller's eider are not well known, but biologists suspect both the population's breeding range and abundance have decreased significantly due to unknown causes. They estimate a few hundred to a few thousand birds now occupy the North Slope breeding grounds. Harbor Seal: Harbor seals are the prominent nearshore seal. Known areas of harbor seal haulout concentrations include the Barren Islands; the west shoreline of Shuyak Island; protected bays on the north and west shores of Afognak Island; bays and rocky promontories in Alitak Bay; the Trinity Islands; Chirikof Island and the Semidi Islands; Wide Bay; Puale Bay; Kukak Bay; and the Kiukpalik Islands. Despite the fact that harbor seals do not generally congregate in dense colonies, more than 125 sites that contain high density seal populations have been identified around the Borough. Outstanding among these sites is Tugidak Island, historically one of the largest pupping season concentrations in the world. Between the mid -70s and 1990 the population of harbor seals in the Tugidak Island area declined approximately 90 %. In 1996, the mean count of harbor seals within the Kodiak Archipelago was estimated at 4,437. Scientists have not been able to identify the specific cause of the harbor seal population decline at Tugidak, but harbor seal populations have been observed to be in a severe decline throughout nearly all their areas of distribution in Alaska with the exception of Southeast Alaska. Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 20 Although not listed as endangered or threatened, the harbor seal could possibly be soon designated as a "depleted species" under the Marine Mammal Protection Act. Northern Sea Otters (threatened): In November 2000 the US Fish and Wildlife Service published a notice in the Federal Register designating northern sea otters in the Aleutian Islands as candidates for protection under the Endangered Species Act. Because the Aleutians have long been considered a stronghold for the species, their severe decline over the past decade is a cause for concern. Recent data collected by both the Fish & Wildlife Service and the U.S. Geological Survey show that the sea otter population in the Aleutians has declined by 70% in the past 8 years. As few as 6,000 otters may remain in the entire Aleutian chain, down from a 1980s population estimate of between 50,000 and 100,000 animals. Biologists speculate that the cause of the decline may be due to increased predation by killer whales. Cultural /Historic Sites Character of Cultural Properties: People have lived in the Kodiak Archipelago for more than 7,500 years. The first islanders were Native Alaskans - the ancestors of the contemporary Alutiiq people. Well equipped for life in a maritime environment, they settled Kodiak's coast to harvest the wealth of local marine mammals and birds, fish and shellfish. In the late 18 century, the resources that had sustained the Alutiiq for millennia began attracting a diversity of colonists. Russian fur traders came to the region to harvest sea otters, and they were followed by a succession of American, Scandinavian and Asian entrepreneurs who contributed to the development of the modern fishing and canning industries, and participated in the military build up that accompanied the World War II era. Evidence of this long cultural heritage is preserved in an abundance of cultural properties; archaeological sites and historic buildings. The Alaska Heritage Resources Survey (AHRS), the state maintained compendium of archaeological sites - records more than 1,000 sites for the region. This represents roughly 4% of all of Alaska's cultural properties in an area that covers less than 0.5% of the state's total land mass. This wealth of known sites reflects Kodiak's climate, high population densities and the region's history of archaeological research. Large prehistoric populations produced numerous sites that have resisted decay in the region's cool, wet environment and a number of these sites have been documented by scientists. Importantly, these sites represent only a portion of the past settlements preserved on the landscape. Each year archaeologists add to the regional site inventory as unsurveyed areas are investigated and as sites are uncovered by erosion and development. The sites of the Kodiak region represent a diversity of activities. Prehistoric deposits include ancient coastal villages, stream -side camps, burial caves, stone fishing weirs, petroglyphs pecked into cliff faces, ridge -top cairns, stone quarries, and ancient trails. In addition to the stone tools commonly found in prehistoric settlements, many of Kodiak's sites also contain shell, bone, antler, and ivory objects. A rare few hold spectacular assemblages of wood and fiber artifacts. Many are also rich with architectural features, including house foundations, tent rings, hearths, clay -lined storage pits, slate boxes, and burials. This well preserved record documents thousands of years of continuous settlement and chronicles the adaptation of Native societies to the region's productive marine environment. Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 21 Historic sites also provide an invaluable view of the past. From the Russian Orthodox churches found in Kodiak communities to the remains of sea otter hunting artels and historic cemeteries, nineteenth century salmon hatcheries and cannery buildings, and World War II era concrete bunkers, there is a wealth of material evidence documenting the intensive, multi - cultural forces that combined to create modern Kodiak. These sites occur both as archaeological deposits (e.g. buried deposits, building foundations, etc.) as well as contemporary features in the Kodiak community (e.g. standing structures, maintained cemeteries, etc.). This extensive archaeological record holds extremely valuable information about Kodiak's human history, particularly the period preceding European colonization for which there are no written records. Each site contains a unique piece of the archipelago's cultural history that is not preserved in any other place. Unfortunately, many of these sites continue to be damaged by natural and human forces. Erosion, site vandalism, and land development are the most common sources of disturbance. Erosion is a particularly wide spread problem. Winter storms, meandering rivers, and earthquakes remodel Kodiak's shoreline, causing coastal sites to slough into the ocean. Although illegal, recreational digging and artifact collecting have long been popular activities and continue to contribute to the destruction of sites. By removing objects from sites and disturbing their layers, vandals substantially decrease the information that scientists can recover. Oil spills are another potential source of site damage, through the direct deposition of oil, or through secondary oil transport by winds, storm tides, ground water migration, and the movement of birds and animals. One major injury caused by oil contamination is the inability to radiocarbon date contaminated materials. Additionally, increased access to remote coastal areas by clean up crews can increase knowledge of site locations and accelerate site vandalism. National Register of Historic Places Sites in the Kodiak Archipelago: Seven of the roughly 1,000 sites listed on the AHRS for the Kodiak Archipelago are also listed on the National Register of Historic Places - the federal compendium of cultural significant properties. These sites, which largely reflect Kodiak's historic era, are summarized below. It is important to note that a very large proportion of the remaining sites listed on the AHRS may also be eligible for inclusion in the National Register. While the seven sites described are clearly important to Kodiak's history, they represent a tiny fraction of the region's significant cultural resources. They are simply those that have been through the lengthy nomination process. Other sites will undoubtedly be added to the list. The Russian Kiln Site (049 -KOD -207: Located on Long Island off the east shore of Kodiak Island, this is one of the few historic sites associated with brick making, which was a subsidiary industry of the Russian American Company. The 3000 to 6000 bricks that were produced annually were used as ballast in the company's ships, in the construction of stoves to heat employee quarters, and in bathhouses. This site is considered to be significant for its contribution to the industrial history of Alaska. Subsistence caused by the 1964 earthquake has contributed to site erosion, scattering brick debris along the shore below the site. Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 22 The Erskine House (049 -KOD -123): The Erskine House is located on Marine Way in downtown Kodiak. This building is the only standing structure in Kodiak associated with the Russian American Company and the Alaska Commercial Company, the two commercial enterprises that were controlling factors in the early administration of Alaska. Local tradition indicates the building was erected by Alexander Baranof about 1792 -3 as an office and fur warehouse. The building was constructed in a typical Russian - American style with rough -hewn square logs and a hipped roof. Numerous alterations have been made to the building, which is now being used as the Kodiak Historical Society's Baranov Museum. Fort Abercrombie State Historic Site (049 -KOD -137): Situated approximately five miles north of the City of Kodiak, the remains of this World War II era fort are representative of North Pacific coast defense installations. The site is strategically located atop a high headland, and commands a view of the surrounding straits and bays. Dense stands of mature Sitka spruce provide a natural camouflage for the fort. The area was withdrawn as a military reservation in 1941 but remained operational until 1945. The fort was named in honor of Lieutenant William H. Abercrombie, a noted Alaskan explorer of the late nineteenth century. Although Fort Abercrombie was never engaged in battle, its ruins are remnants of a time when foreign invasion was anticipated on American soil. The remains of the fort include concrete beds for gun emplacements, fragments of exploded armaments, cavernous magazines, and building foundations. The site is presently open to the public primarily for day -use activities. The Three Saints Site (049 -KOD -124): Located on the southeastern shore of Kodiak Island on the western shore of Three Saints Bay, this multi- component site contains a prehistoric occupation dating from 0 -900 A.D., followed by a historic occupation beginning in the 1700s. Excavation and analysis of the prehistoric site provided the basis for the definition of the Three Saints Bay Phase of the Kachemak Bay Tradition - a prehistoric era dating from roughly 2,400 to 800 years ago. Investigation of the historic component illustrates the site's connection to the Russian era. In 1784 the first Russian colony in America was established at Three Saints Bay and for eight years the colony served as the headquarters of the Shelikhov - Golikof Fur Company. The colony consisted of numerous log buildings including dwellings, bunkhouses, warehouses, commissary, barns, storage buildings, smithy, carpentry shop, and ropewalk. All of the buildings were destroyed as the result of subsistence resulting from earthquakes, and there are no surface remains today. Holy Resurrection Orthodox Church (049 -KOD -195): This 50 year -old church is the most distinguished architectural feature of the Kodiak skyline. The frame building, is laid out on an apsidal - transect plan and covered with white shingles. All the windows are center pointed. A single extended church tower at the front is capped with the traditional Orthodox onion dome, painted blue. A second onion dome and supporting hexagonal tower surmount the medium gable trasept roof. A detached bell tower and several graves marked with marble monuments are also on the site. A church built between 1843 and 1867 originally occupied the site until it was destroyed by fire in 1943. The existing structure was erected in 1945. Only the detached bell tower is believed to have survived from the earlier church. Icons and religious objects, some dating from the early nineteenth century, adorn the interior. One icon, that of the Holy Resurrection (date 1793), was brought by Saint Herman (then Monk Herman) from Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 23 Russia with the original party of Orthodox missionaries in 1794. The church is still used for Orthodox services. American Cemetery (049 -KOD -132): Other than the surroundings and the settling and shifting of pits, mounds, markers, and headstones; the expected attrition of age, the American Cemetery physically appeared much as it did when abandoned in 1940 for fifty years. The cemetery originated as a military cemetery to serve Fort Kodiak. This fort and military post was established with the American occupation of Alaska (Russian America) immediately after the purchase of the Territory. Five of the soldiers from the original fort are known to be buried there. Their names are listed in the National Archives, Old Military Records. In addition to these men, there exist two graves of Unknown Soldiers, and many local residents from 1868 to 1940, including G. G. Holt, the first white man to cross Chilkoot Pass. The Cemetery continued to be used by the Village and then the City of Kodiak until 1940. In 1990, the Alaska Societies of the Daughters of the American Colonists and the Daughters of the American Revolution renovated the site. Middle Bay Brick Kiln (049 -KOD -011): This site, located on the southeastern shoreline of Middle Bay, holds the remains of a colonial Russian brick kiln. Test excavations uncovered a portion of a brick platform, remnants of two brick walls, and a small standing brick arch. The site has been affected by erosion, and by recreational brick collecting. The standing arch may have been one of a number of features constructed to (a) support the kiln floor and (b) house the kiln fires. Kilns similar to this one continue to be used in the Near East. Brick kilns having arches for firing purposes were certainly being used in seventeenth century England. Such kilns allowed the hot air to circulate upward among the green bricks stacked within the kiln, the bricks being "baked" or "fired" in the process. While the documentary search did not uncover any references to Russian kilns, it is quite possible that brick firing techniques used in Western Europe would have been used in European Russia, and subsequently Russian America, as well. The structural remains uncovered at the KOD -011 represent an important subsidiary industry of Russian America. These features currently suggest that the site may have been the location of a type of kiln in general use for thousands of years, a type that might have been feasible for use by Russian colonists in America. The KOD -011 site has enormous potential for increasing our understanding of Russian colonial brick making operations in the Western Hemisphere. Marine Archaeology: In addition to the archaeological sites on land, the continental shelf surrounding Kodiak also has the potential to hold important underwater sites. Eustatic sea -level changes since deglaciation have caused the region's coastline to vary dramatically. At the lower sea levels early residents may have occupied lands that are presently submerged, leaving valuable archaeological evidence on the sea floor. Additionally, the region may contain shipwrecks of historic importance.

Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 24 Political Geography Kodiak was incorporated as a first class city in 1940. It is a home -rule city with a city manager /council form of government. There are six members on the city council, plus the mayor. There are eight departments in the municipality. They include: public works, finance, city engineering, parks & recreation, library, fire department, police department, and cargo dock/boat harbor. The Kodiak Island Borough was incorporated on September 24, 1963 as a second class borough with an elected Mayor and Assembly/ Manager form of government. Since that time the borough has been ruled by either a Mayor form of government or more recently a Manager form of government. By Alaska State Statute, the Kodiak Island Borough is responsible for four area -wide powers encompassing all of the Kodiak Island Borough: 1) Planning and Zoning, 2) Assessment and Taxation, 3) Education, and 4) Health (restricted to hospital and mental health services only). Non - areawide powers held by the Borough are: 1) Solid Waste Collection and Disposal, 2) Animal Control, 3) Parks and Recreation, 4) Economic Development, and 5) Special Service Districts for Roads, Water, Sewer, and Fire Protection. The KIB has 15 recreational facilities spread over 223 acres, and a boat launch located at Anton Larsen. The City of Kodiak and the Kodiak Island Borough provide joint animal control and facilities, and building inspection services. Real and property taxes are administered through the Kodiak Island Borough. The presence of the State of Alaska in Kodiak is primarily in the form of the Department of Fish and Game. Their role is to manage and regulate the fisheries in the region. Other State agencies in Kodiak are: Health and Social Services, Employment Center, Legislative Information, District Attorney, Public Defender, Vocational Rehabilitation, Department of Corrections, Adult Probation & Parole, Environmental Conservation, Alaska State Court System, National Guard, SW District Parks Division, Department of Transportation & Public Facilities, University of Alaska, Anchorage /Kodiak College, and the University of Alaska, Fairbanks (UAF) School of Fisheries and the Ocean Sciences, Fishery Industrial Technology Center. The federal agencies with the largest exposure in Kodiak are the Coast Guard and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). NOAA divisions include the National Weather Service, National Ocean Survey, and National Marine Fisheries Service. The agency also performs duties related to the maritime environment, such as coastal zone management and marine mammal protection. Also located in Kodiak, but with a more limited presence, are the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the United States Forest Service, and the United States Postal Service. The Native organizations that serve the Kodiak Island region are the Kodiak Area Native Association (KANA), Koniag, Inc., Natives of Kodiak, Inc., Leisnoi, Inc., Afognak Native Corporation, Ouzinkie Native Corporation, Akhiok - Kaguyak, Inc., and Old Harbor Native Corporation. KANA, a non - profit organization that was formed in 1966, provides direct social services such as health promotion, advocacy, community development planning, education, and manpower to Natives in its coverage area through grants primarily from the state and federal governments. Koniag, Inc. is the Regional Corporation formed after the passage of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA). Koniag's primary purpose is to manage the assets received pursuant to ANCSA. Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 25 Ouzinkie was incorporated as a second class city in 1967. The seven members of the Ouzinkie City Council are elected to three -year staggered terms. The Mayor is elected from, and by, the City Council to a one -year term. Key city positions include the Mayor, City Clerk, and Utilities Clerk. The seven - member Ouzinkie Tribal Council meets on the third Wednesday of each month. The Council serves as the tribal government and addresses issues concerning Alaska Native members of the community. The Native Village of Ouzinkie is a federally recognized tribe The City of Port Lions is a second class city within the Kodiak Island Borough and the state of Alaska. It was incorporated in 1966. The seven - member City Council is elected to staggered, three -year terms of office. The mayor is elected to a one -year term by the City Council.

The mayor is a member of the City Council, and is elected by the membership of the City Council to a one -year term. The seven - member Larsen Bay Tribal Council serves as the tribal government for Alaska Native residents of Larsen Bay. Issues of concern to the tribal government include health care, social services, and tribal operations. Karluk is an unincorporated village within the Kodiak Island Borough. The village is governed by a seven - member Indian Reorganization Act (IRA) tribal council. Council members are elected to three -year staggered terms. Key positions within the IRA Council are the Village Clerk and Water /Sewer Operator. The City of Akhiok was incorporated in 1974 and is a second class city within the Kodiak Island Borough system. Akhiok has a seven - member city council from which the mayor and other officers are selected. The Tribal Council is recognized by the Bureau of Indian Affairs as the official tribal governing body of the community of Akhiok, and is eligible to administer a variety of federal programs, including local health care, employment assistance and other social services. The Tribal Council assigns its federal contracting authority to the Kodiak Area Native Association (KANA) by resolution. KANA in turn, administers the programs and provides the services. Tribal Council members are elected according to an adopted constitution and bylaws. Elections are held at the same time as local municipal elections. OId Harbor was incorporated as a second class city in 1966. The seven City Council members are elected to three -year staggered terms.

The City Council and Tribal Council work in cooperation to accomplish common goals. Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 26 Population and Labor Force The population of the Kodiak Island Borough is 13,638. Compared to the estimated 1985 population, we show zero population growth. Population peaked to slightly less than 15,000 in 1995. The decline in population may be due to the use of a new method of estimating population. Based on 2000 Census data, the median age of Kodiak's population is 31.6 years. Males comprise 53% of the population and females 47 %. Some 18.7% of adults 25 years of age and older hold a Bachelor's Degree or higher; 85.4% of adults 25 and older have a high school diploma or higher. The median family income is $54,636 (2000 Census data). The per capita income in 2005 was $34,445. The size of Kodiak Island Borough's non - agricultural labor force is 6,681.

Based on the number of commercial fishing permits held by Kodiak residents and accepted crew ratios, annual commercial fishing employment is estimated to be 650 (the number of permits fished may not be equal to the number of permits held, which can be much higher). The shore -based seafood processing industry employs another 1,368 persons. Salmon, groundfish, crab, halibut, and herring are all important to the economy. Salmon has traditionally been the mainstay of Kodiak's fishing fleet, with 61 % of the Kodiak limited entry salmon permits owned by local residents (11 % of these reside in the outlying villages of Old Harbor, Ouzinkie, Port Lions, Larsen Bay, and Akhiok). From 1977 to 1985, salmon ranked first among the major fisheries in both average value and weight landed. The harvesting sector of the Kodiak commercial fisheries industry was extensively transformed between 1975 and 1984. The value of the Kodiak fisheries increased from 1975 to 1981 as a result of crab prices but declined as stocks fell. Fisherman responded by diversifying into tanner crab, halibut, sablefish, and groundfish. Groundfish are becoming one of Kodiak's most valuable fisheries, therefore firms have diversified by producing quality groundfish products. Commercial fishing provides revenue to the Kodiak Island Borough through a severance tax. The fish tax revenues collected during the borough's fiscal years 2006 and 2005 were $1,108,742 and $980,109, respectively.

These activities include: organizing an economic development committee, providing a full -time staff member for the committee, preparation of the area's Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) and the implementation of the action plans and development strategies described therein. Copies of these contracts are included in the Appendix. EVALUATION The CEDS Committee has identified several assets and liabilities of the area as they pertain to economic development. These are described below as they apply to specific areas of potential economic development: Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 41 Fisheries Assets and Opportunities. Kodiak's strong seafood processing labor force has been identified as one of its biggest assets. Due to the high levels of unemployment in the seafood processing industry during off - season periods, value- added, or secondary, processing of seafood products presents one of Kodiak's biggest opportunities in economic development. Currently, a significant amount of the fish product exported from Kodiak is minimally processed (usually only headed and gutted). Additional value - added seafood processing in Kodiak would provide employment for the existing labor force during otherwise slow periods when large numbers of workers are typically laid off. The implementation of the Individual Fishing Quotas (IFQ's), changed the halibut and black cod fisheries from "derby- style" fisheries in which large volumes of fish are delivered to the shore -based processing plants in very short time periods, to more evenly paced fisheries in which fish product deliveries are spread out over time, giving processing plants more time to add value to the product through secondary processing. Proposed rationalization of the fishing industry in the Gulf of Alaska would ensure coastal communities a steady stream of "fresh" fish over an extended period of time. Small boat fishers would not be disadvantaged due to inclement weather and by -catch would be reduced. Getting fish out in the "fresh" form, rather than fast frozen adds value to the product and may encourage the development of more "custom- processing" facilities. Several opportunities also exist for economic development in the seafood processing industry by achieving total utilization of fish products, so that every part of the fish is used with nothing discarded. Fish oil extraction and fishmeal production, from previously discarded fish parts are only two examples of this. In addition to increased profits and employment, the opportunity to minimize regulatory constraints on the shore - based processing industry will develop as the volume of discharge is reduced. Similarly, achieving total utilization of by -catch species, currently being thrown overboard, presents another opportunity for economic development. Harvesting and processing under - utilized species, such as the arrowtooth flounder (one of the most abundant groundfish species available in the waters harvested by Kodiak's fishing fleet) presents additional opportunities for economic growth and job creation in Kodiak. Kodiak Island is situated in the middle of one of the world's richest fishing grounds. Additionally, there are approximately 800 streams within the Kodiak Management Area (KMA) in which salmon migration or spawning has been documented. Supplemental production of salmon includes two hatcheries located in the KMA. Both hatcheries, Kitoi Bay and Pillar Creek, are operated by the Kodiak Regional Aquaculture Association (KRAA). The combined incubation of these two hatcheries is 263,000,000 eggs. The fish harvesting /production potential for Kodiak is therefore excellent. Another asset identified by the economic development committee is the Kodiak State Airport. The airport is centrally located in Southwest Alaska and has year -round access to an ice -free port. The Kodiak State Airport has the opportunity to become a trans- shipment point for fresh fish products. As Kodiak State Airport evolves into a regional hub for the Southwest portion of the state, the opportunity for a reduction in shipping and freight rates can be realized. This will serve to benefit all sectors of the economy. Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 42 Finally, several opportunities resulting from increased research into fisheries sciences can be realized, such as greater support for the seafood processing sector, increased levels of processing, and subsequently, increased employment in the industry. Increased research into the fisheries encourages greater investment by fisheries - related businesses. This entices more scientists and researchers to use facilities available in Kodiak, like the Fishery Industrial Technology Center and the Kodiak Fisheries Research Facility, as a base for study. Kodiak has become a national fisheries "research hub" with research being conducted in shellfish, groundfish, sustainable fisheries, domestic observer program, marine mammals, fisheries management, sport fishing, and wildlife conservation. Liabilities and Constraints. Several liabilities will have to be overcome for value - added seafood processing to develop to its full potential in Kodiak. First, the traditional distribution patterns of headed and gutted fish product to Puget Sound and Japan will be hard to break. Secondly, a lack of a cold storage facility means there is no place to store fish products until there is time to add value to them. One of the biggest obstacles to having a cold storage facility is the cost of electricity, which is approximately three times the cost of power in Seattle. A feasibility study on the use of waste heat to generate electricity in a stand alone cold storage facility was recently conducted. The recommendation of the study was a centralized storage facility is not feasible, given the facility would not be utilized by the fish processing plants as most have their own cold storage facilities. However, there is a clear need for lower cost refrigeration and information on new electrical generation technologies has been made available to the fish processors. Another liability is the high shipping cost to import processing materials (packaging, breading, etc.), and to export finished seafood products. Open access to the halibut and black cod fisheries ended in 1995 with the implementation of the Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) system of management. Quotas — shares of catch —are issued only to those who owned or leased vessels that fished for halibut between 1988 and 1990. Implementation of the IFQ system in the Gulf of Alaska could cause changes in wealth, income, and jobs in Kodiak. Fleet consolidation could lead to less fleet spending and fewer jobs. Those vessels which are not profitable may be eliminated through a decapitalization process by which the equipment, quotas and histories will be for sale on the open market. Some fishermen might change where they land their catch from Kodiak to another port, resulting in less work for the processing plants and their employees (and fewer dollars being spent in the local economy). IFQ's could also have a negative impact on the resource by leading to high - grading (the act of discarding all but the highest - quality fish while filling a quota). Visitor Industry Assets and Opportunities. A "visitor" is typically perceived as a pleasure seeker, but for economic development purposes a "visitor" is defined as "a person who comes to spend time with or stay with others or in a place....for business, for social pleasure, for sightseeing, etc." One of the Kodiak visitor industry's biggest assets is the large amount of easily accessible public lands available for recreational use, such as hiking, sightseeing, fishing, and camping. In addition, Kodiak still offers visitors a uniqueness of character that other Alaskan communities are losing as they evolve into a mass- Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 43 market destination. This has been identified as an opportunity for Kodiak to attract visitors as other Alaskan destinations reach saturation. Another asset is the local ownership of tourism - related businesses. Kodiak is also benefiting from the long -term effects of increased media exposure on a national and international level. Film projects such as National Geographic's "Island of the Giant Bears," Discovery Channel's features on the US Coast Guard Search and Rescue teams and Kodiak's diverse fishing industry, plus the Food Network's feature on "Cooking in Alaska" all serve to generate interest in Kodiak Island. The Hollywood adventure film "The Guardian" featured the United States Coast Guard Base stationed in Kodiak. Travel writers have featured Kodiak in many national and international publications. As eco- travel and soft adventure travel become increasingly popular, Kodiak is becoming a sought after travel destination. Infrastructure development to increase the meeting and convention capacity will create additional markets to be tapped. The opening of the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center in the downtown museum district in 2007 is expected to add visitor traffic to the downtown area. While the visitor industry in Kodiak has great potential for long term growth, it is viewed as the "weak sister" in the local economy. Liabilities and Constraints. From a revenue - producing standpoint, visitor consumption of scenic beauty may not always generate quantifiable income, although expenditures to view this beauty may be considerable. Kodiak's share of the state's visitor market is relatively low, and historic patterns of growth have not kept pace with statewide rates. Because of the high level of local ownership of tourism - related businesses, these businesses tend to be undercapitalized while Kodiak's destination marketing program remains under - funded. Kodiak is also hindered by a lack of sufficient tourism - related infrastructure necessary to handle a large influx of visitors, such as dedicated docking for cruise ships and charter boats, motor coaches, banquet facilities, public restrooms, etc. Small gains are being made to update or alleviate these problems, for example improvements to Pier 11 now allow small and large cruise ship to dock and several motorcoaches are now on island. The lack of facilities to accommodate groups greater than 150 persons has deterred the attraction of large meetings and conventions to the community. However, it's this lack of mass - market appeal that is one of Kodiak's strengths in the adventure /eco - travel market. Tourism related businesses are beginning to explore this market in depth. Finally, being a non - road- connected island, Kodiak is more difficult and costly to reach than other visitor destinations within the state. There is the perception by travelers that Kodiak is difficult to access because of poor weather conditions. In fact, 95% of scheduled commercial operations are completed annually. However, the lack of runway lights, navigation aids and poorly configured runways does create difficulties accessing the outlying communities in marginal weather. Kodiak Island Communities Economic Development Assets and Opportunities. The off -road communities are located in close proximity to fish resources, particularly salmon, giving them ample access to fresh product. Likewise, being remote, the communities are also very close to the natural resources that attract many of the island's tourists, providing an opportunity to share in the island's visitor industry. Archaeological sites located near the communities also present the opportunity for "ancestral heritage tourism ". One example is the "Dig Afognak" Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 44 program— visitors live in a working archaeological field camp located on Afognak Island and assist in artifact digs with a professional archaeological team. Opportunities also exist for the communities to benefit from small -scale cottage industry-level production of Native crafts or other goods. Liabilities and Constraints. Most of the off -road communities have aging infrastructure. Limited access to certain resources, for example, water for seafood processing, hinder economic development as well. Another obstacle to growth is the limited amount of human resources and job skills available in these communities. Poor weather conditions often reduce the ability of the communities to communicate with other communities and impose heavy restrictions on air and sea transportation linkages to the communities, none of which are road - connected to any other island community. With the exception of Port Lions, which is on the same power grid as the City of Kodiak, power costs are relatively very high in all of Kodiak's outlying communities. Land use issues between the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge and the communities also exist that could impede economic growth. Similarly, prehistoric archaeological sites located near the communities, a potential asset for tourism, may be a potential liability to economic development projects involving construction or other activities /uses inconsistent with the ancestral heritage and /or archaeological value of the site. Overall Economic Growth and Expansion A significant constraint, not limited to any one category of economic development within the Kodiak Island Borough, is the issue of high land values. Prices for privately owned land within the borough are relatively high due to topographical constraints and the availability of utilities. The Kodiak Island Borough has 4,800,000 acres within its boundaries. In 2001, federally held land was 3,400,000 acres, Native Corporations; 675,000 acres, State; 639,000 acres, local government; 70,000 acres, and private land; 16,000 acres. Development costs, due to the remoteness of the island, limit opportunities for the development of new industries and the expansion of existing ones. Protection of Cultural Properties There are many activities associated with economic development that have the potential to impact Kodiak's archaeological sites. The ground disturbance associated with the construction of new facilities - buildings, docks, roads, etc. has the potential to irreparably harm buried deposits. Similarly, the expansion of human access to remote areas may increase site vandalism, or promote site erosion through the development of trails, camps, boat launches, etc. As such, the effects of any development activity on local sites must be carefully considered and, where possible mitigated, to preserve Kodiak's cultural resources and the irreplaceable information they contain. Usually, the protection of cultural properties is the responsibility of the landowners. Under Alaska law, archaeological sites are considered part of surface estate, and therefore belong to the owner of the land on which they occur. On public lands (e.g. Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, US Coast Guard Reservation, Alaska State Parks) sites are protected by state and federal laws, most notably Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and its implementing regulations (36 CFR part 800). Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 45 Under this law, any development project with the potential to disturb an archaeological deposit (known or unknown) must follow a well defined program of consultation with archaeologists and /or historians to avoid and /or mitigate negative impacts to significant cultural properties. This law is extended to projects on private lands when they involve federal or state dollars (e.g. grants, legislative appropriation) or federal or state permits (e.g. an Army Core of Engineers wetlands permit). When correctly implemented, this process preserves cultural resources without impeding development. As such, archaeological consultation should be part of the early stages of planning and budgeting for any economic development that will involve ground disturbing activities or has the possibility of promoting site disturbance. As the majority of Kodiak's cultural properties also reflect the heritage of the Alutiiq people, consultation with the Native community over the treatment of heritage sites is also imperative. Such consultation ensures that the community whose history the sites reflect are centrally involved in decisions regarding their care. Consultation should be the goal of every development project with the potential to impact cultural properties reflecting Native heritage. This consultation is required by the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) - a federal law - whenever human remains are present, regardless of land ownership. As many of Kodiak's prehistoric sites contain human remains, such consultation is both respectful and appropriate at the outset of any development project involving ground- disturbing activities. Establishing an agreement for the proper course of action should human remains be discovered saves time and money in the long run, and creates an atmosphere of mutual respect. The Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository, a non - profit cultural organization governed by representative of eight Kodiak's Alutiiq corporation, is an appropriate place to begin consultation. The museum maintains a staff of professional archaeologists familiar with the consultation process and the laws that govern the treatment of both archaeological sites and the remains of Native people.

Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska Resolution No. 2003 -20F Page 11 of 12 G. For all construction and demolition projects there will be a deposit of $250 minimum for projects up to 249 square feet, $500 minimum for projects 249 to 500 square feet and $1000 minimum for projects 501 square feet and above. This deposit will be paid in full upon application for a zoning permit and no building permit will be issued without proof of payment. A deposit is also required for projects that do not require a zoning compliance or building permit (e.g. demolition /remodeling projects such as roofing and siding). A bill will be generated and sent to the client on a monthly basis until verification is received that the project is complete and the dumpster has been removed. If a positive deposit balance remains after verification is received and the dumpster has been removed this remainder amount will be returned to the client. If a client wants to take the waste directly to the landfill, a deposit will still be required and they must pay for the waste at the landfill in cash and retain their receipts. The receipts will then be presented after the project is complete to verify that the waste was properly disposed of. Estimates may be made to determine if the amount of waste generated from a project reasonably corresponds with the receipts. H. Companies conducting commercial, industrial and institutional demolition projects need to separate their waste into metal and non -metal loads. Mixed loads will not be accepted at the landfill. I. Metals received at the landfill in the form of tanks or cables must be prepared in an acceptable manner. Tanks must be drained of all fluids and wiped clean. Tanks under 500 gallons must have an 18" square hole cut into it and wiped clean. Tanks over 500 gallons must have one end cut off and wiped clean. Tanks 1000 gallons and greater must contact Engineering /Facility staff to discuss acceptable criteria. Fishing cable must be cut into 3' lengths. Other metal items must be cut into pieces no greater than 17' long, 7' wide and 5' high. They must be separated from non -metal material (e.g., machinery with hoses or electrical components). J. Non - profit organizations will be allowed free disposal of household residential waste up to 1000 lbs/week. Disposal of large items (e.g., boats, trailers, construction /demolition debris and metals) will be charged at the same rate as shown in this fee schedule. K. Commercial establishments, and/or small quantity generators, who generate hazardous waste must contact an environmental company to properly dispose of their waste. L. Commercial establishments which dispose of construction and or demolition waste into dumpsters which are not designated for such use (i.e., public dumpsters, commercial dumpsters) will be charged at the same rate as shown in this fee schedule. An estimate of waste generated will be obtained from building or zoning permit information. If this information is not available a field estimate will be made. Definitions: Residential waste - Waste generated from your home (for example, household garbage, bulky items such as furnishings and grass /lawn clippings). It excludes construction /demolition waste. Commercial waste - Institutional and industrial organizations or contractors and businesses conducting work for compensation and /or barter. Regulated vessel waste - Waste from vessels that have been inspected by U.S. Customs & Border Protection Office must be transported by a compliance holder to the landfill and may be landfilled. Waste from vessels that have not been inspected must be transported by a compliance holder and must be incinerated.

The Borough Manager and Finance Director feel it is prudent that the tax on personal property accounts (not including boats) with a low assessed value not be billed. This threshold amount should be included in the annual Borough budget adoption process. Borough legal counsel has advised management that this process requires a change to borough code. Therefore, Title 3 Revenue and Finance Chapter 3.24 Personal Property Tax Section 3.24.090 Personal Property Minimum Billing should be added as follows: 3.24.090 Personal property minimum billing. Only personal property accounts (not including boats) with a value greater than the amount listed in the annual budget will be billed. This change is being made pursuant to AS 29.45.050(D)(2) which states "A municipality may by ordinance classify as to type and exempt or partially exempt some or all types of personal property from ad valorem taxes." For FY2008 staff is recommending the minimum assessed value exceed $2,500 to generate a personal property tax bill.

ATTEST: ADOPTED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH THIS DAY OF 2006 Nova M. Javier, CMC, Borough Clerk KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH Jerome M. Selby, Borough Mayor Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska Ordinance No. FY2007 -16 Page2of2 Meeting of: May 17, 2007 Kodiak Island Borough Assembly AGENDA STATEMENT ITEM NO. 0' ITEM TITLE: Case S07 -017 Vacation of a portion of existing 25 foot wide public access and utility easement along the Southwest edge of Tract B, T26S R25W TL 101 Viekoda Bay as shown on plat 93 -3. SUMMARY STATEMENT: The KIB Planning and Zoning Commission approved the above referenced easement vacation after a public hearing was held on March 28, 2007. In this case, the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly is the applicable review body, which must review the vacation request in accordance with the following standards: Kodiak Island Borough Code Section 16.60.060 states: "A. A decision to grant a vacation is not effective unless approved by the city council if the vacated area is within a city or by the assembly if the vacated area is within the borough outside a city. The council or assembly shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of the decision to veto the vacation. If the vacation is not vetoed within the thirty (30) day period, the consent of the council or assembly shall be considered to have been given to the vacation." Attached is a copy of the decision letter, meeting minutes, and relevant maps depicting the general area and plat. Additional information is available in the case file for Subdivision Case S07 -017, which can be made available for review by the Assembly if requested. FISCAL NOTES [X] N/A Expenditure Required $0.00 Account General Fund N/A Bayside Fire Depts. had any authority to respond to medical calls. The direction changed and the dispatch issue was never brought up or addressed. HIMES discussed the issue brought up re that the misrepresentation that the Borough fire departments are not Basic Life Support service providers, but are First Responder Service providers and in the eyes of the State there is no certification process for first responder services so despite what the City says, Borough fire departments can't be certified. CHIEF asked Kathy McClaren to address this in a letter which has not yet been received. There are significant differences between Basic Life Support and First Responder services, one being the financial part, as a Basic Life Support service provider the department would have to have a physician sponsor and pay all or part of the malpractice insurance. This was not the direction the Board wished to go when deciding on this issue in the past. It appears that both the City and the Borough managers are misinformed. Although discussion has gone back and forth on the EMS powers, it's true that the Borough doesn't have EMS powers, in their ordinances etc, but they also don't have fire (unclear) but have two fire departments. CHIEF's opinion that First Responder services are part of the services the fire department provides. There was a false statement made by the City that there are two fire simulation training buildings, City has a Flashover Simulator, Borough has a Live Fire Training building. They are two separate buildings one is made specifically for flashover fires, it is not provided for fire attacks or fire training; Borough's unit is. Discussion between Borough Manager and CHIEF was held to try to work with the City and work things out between departments, so knowing there were new rigs on the way and with the new addition being built, CHIEF offered Andy Nault, City Fire Chief, the possible use of Bayside's Squad 11 and apparatus space to store and transport the City's Hazardous Material Trailer. The answer was an outright "no ", with no discussion on the matter. CHIEF said he's made the attempt to work with the City Fire Chief, but it isn't happening on City side. ARNDT asked RIMES who was at the meeting when the City offered to discuss the new communication upgrade RFP; all fire departments, police department and state troopers were supposed to be there. HIMES responded that the only meeting he knew of was the one the City held to tell everyone what they were planning on doing, other than that he knew of no meetings that were held for planning purposes. He was initially told by Police Chief Kamai that a unit( ?) group would be formed or has been formed, (this is in the proposed contract) but this did not happen. Further discussion was held re the percentages of the calls that are received per department/government. City dispatch personnel and equipment were discussed at this point. ARNDT feels that there are underlying issues and problems involved and the City is looking for additional money and they seem to forget that everyone pays City sales tax, and it is discouraging that there has to be an argument about it and that the Borough is not receiving the EMS calls; feels afraid this conflict is going to lead to someone losing their life because of it and then where is this going to go? DOLPH reviewed percentages in the report and feels it would be "easier to swallow" if the Borough was getting 100% of the services provided; but they don't. Bayside doesn't get police service, neither does Womens Bay. There is no public works person to address issues of drainage. The Borough just doesn't receive 100 % of the City services, we are using a small portion. Reality is there are thousands of complaint calls that go through the City dispatch and the reality of those numbers is that Womens Bay has about 20 of those complaint calls and Bayside has about 70 which equates to 1 -2 %. He stated he didn't have a problem paying this minimum cost, but has a problem with the figures the City is presenting to the Borough to pay. DALE RICE wishes to make the public aware of the costs, feels it would hurt the customer /consumer relationship is the services were charged for. CONRAD brought up the meeting re contracts with other agencies, such as State Troopers, Feds, Immigration, etc. These agencies are not being included in the call percentage. HIMES said the contract proposed states they are only requesting funding from 3 agencies, and although they do list the other agencies, these are not being asked for funding. DAVIDSON asked, where do we go from here? There was a mention of a communication study, is anyone aware of what was studied and why has this not been release to all involved in the communication process; this is one thing the Board should discuss with the Borough, because this needs to be straightened out, otherwise the public needs to be aware that the calls made are going to be charged for. Focus needs to be made on what this means to the public, what does this mean to someone in need of EMS services, where is the problem and why is there a problem. He feels there is obvious confusion on the Borough Assembly's part, as there is for the City Council; "there is a lot of confusion that needs to be sorted out so that there is forward movement, and movement there should be because this is a critical life- threatening situation." DOLPH thinks the Borough needs to be educated. Bullet and line item the issues, then get answers to these questions. Everyone pays sales tax and sales tax is what goes towards paying for the services provided. "If they want additional funding, it sounds like double taxation." Questions are being asked by the Assembly and the public; the people aren't happy that there is an issue as to who would respond to a call. Discussion continued at length re this issue. It was asked that terms be clarified, first responder service be determined and clarified. It was stated, before the Borough refused to pay for a new ambulance there were a number of calls that were directed to Bayside to respond to, once they refused, the number of calls stopped. Discussion re First Responder status, is it in the policy, what does it mean? There is a difference between Basic Life Support and First Responder services; Basic Life Support is based on certification through the State of Alaska. It was elected that the Borough only be First Responders as this does not require certification. The public expects that if there is an emergency the closest fire department is going to respond, this is a matter of risk vs. benefit. It was stated, "in an emergency, time is of the essence, as tax payers this is demanded of the service providers no matter which area they are in, fire departments should work as a brotherhood, not separately." All were invited to attend the Assembly work session on March 13, 2007 to voice ideas and opinions. CHIEF'S REPORT None. NEW BUSINESS A. Disposal of House at 4518 Rezanof Drive Firefighter's Association declined the offer of the house located at 4518 Rezanof Drive. It was then MOVED, SPALINGER and SECONDED, DOLPH to direct the Borough to dispose of the house. The motion CARRIED unanimously. B. Election of Officers Nominees for Chairperson were: Mike Dolph and Scott Arndt. DOLPH was elected Chairperson, 3 to 2. Nominees for Vice Chairperson were: G. Spalinger (declined) and Rebecca Nelson. NELSON was elected as Vice Chairperson. ARNDT continued the meeting at DOLPH's request. CORRESPONDENCE A. Letter from Clerk's office re OMA KEPLEY reported she had spoken with Nova Javier, Borough Clerk the morning of this meeting. There are issues that have occurred; these issues are addressed in the letter from the Clerk's office. One thing Javier did convey for clarification was whether or not the Board had a Rules of Procedures. If not, she has provided documentation on how to implement the Rules of Procedures for the Board, similar to those of the Borough Assembly. ARNDT did not know of any Rules of Procedures that the Board had established. If there are not any already established, Javier suggested reviewing the Assembly's Rules of Procedures to come up with the Board's own procedures; this it to help get all Boards and Committees up to the same level. KEPLEY will alter Rules of Procedures of the Assembly to fit the Board and will provide a draft copy for review at a later meeting. PUBLIC COMMENTS DAVE CONRAD: Would provide a copy of a letter that was provided by Dave Jensen in 2000 re EMS services; it talks extensively of the EMS services and the Borough's position at the time. The letter leads up to the present discussion. NELSON stated that she has worked with both City and Borough Fire Chiefs in the past, and City and Borough fire departments. The history is that there are superior attitudes within the City, knowledge that they are more trained than other departments shows in the superior attitude. "This has to change; it's good to come up with a resolution to some of the issues, but until the human element of attitudes is fixed, nothing is going to change." BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS ARNDT. None. DAVIDSON. Thanked previous Chair, ARNDT for doing a great job. Looking forward to moving forward with the construction of the addition. Wants to get the issue of First Responder calls resolved. DOLPH. Appreciated the visitors being present, it's nice to have the participation and input. Would like to see the Board establish a tentative agenda for the next meeting, need to get it posted for the public. Recommends the Board's concurrence to place one item — Public Hearing for FY2008 Budget —on the agenda. NELSON. None. SPALINGER. Alerted the Board he would be gone at the time the Borough holds the next work session.

It was reported that it seemed interest monies may be missing; Karl Short should be able to provide insight on the location of these monies. With no further discussion, the motion CARRIED unanimously. BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS: ARNDT. None. DAVIDSON. Would like to see the two agencies (City and Borough Fire Depts.) compliment each other, work together and to make sure that the Borough fire departments are meeting the correct requirements of the State in order to respond efficiently. DOLPH. Stated that he and CHIEF HIMES were working on a draft discussion outline providing education of the response service to the Borough Assembly, City Council, Borough and City volunteers and to the tax payers. The draft would include the services which are now being provided. ARNDT suggested including Curt Law's information on the dispatching issue, streamlining the clarification to these agencies on the specific items of discussion, providing information with a technical feel. Further discussion was held re what to bring forward to the Assembly and Manager; issues of bringing Bayside to the same level of education and training as the City, meeting State regulations on First Responder/Basic Life Support services, and Mutual Aid agreements were discussed. NELSON. Feels she is prepared, as a Board member, to meet with the Assembly —as a collective and united voice — regarding the First Responder issue. Residents are expecting the department closest to them to respond to their emergencies. Asked HIMES if there was any communications with Assistant Chief Kamai, and what was his willingness level to work with Bayside Fire? HIMES replied that Kamai is very cooperative and willing to work with Bayside, however his hands are presently tied because his supervisors will not allow it. SPALINGER. None. ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business to discuss the meeting was adjourned at 3:00 p.m. SUBMITTED BY: e Kepley, Secretary K'B Engineering / Facilities Depa ment APPROVED BY: Mike Dolph, Chair Fire Protection Area No. 1 Board Date: :Z s -a7 Old Business: none Monashka Bay Road Service Area Work Session @ Borough Conference Roo February 28, 2007 Meeting Started: 7:00 p.m. Roll Call: All present, Drew arrived at 7:40 (expected late arriva Minutes: none 5ECEJWEr AP, R 2 3 2001 BOROUGH CLERK'S OFFICE Public Comments: Pat Jacobson is concerned on the same area as last meeting; Marmot is too narrow at her driveway and appears dangerous, by not having room for two cars to pass. Sandy Solenberger voiced the same concerns about the same area around Dave Sundberg's place/ Pat's driveway, where the new guard rail was put in. Tom Lance discussed a holding pond to address the silt build up issue on the bottom of Three Sisters. He has agreed to bring more solutions to next meeting Andy Dano suggested we help conquer the yearly pot hole issue by using the ripper or forks behind the larger Bulldozer, then fill and roll. New Business: A. Road Signs: Two speed signs are needed on Three Sisters and Marmot, and one speed sign needed on Mountain View. Also Children Playing signs need to be placed with the speed signs. Replace missing road signs on Marmot and Three Sisters. B. Road Maintenance Work Plan 2007: We discussed placing a culvert in the ditch on Marmot, in front of Dave Sundberg's house, and filling the ditch where the road is narrow, to widen Marmot at that point. The culvert at the top of Mountain View may need to be replaced with a larger culvert to facilitate more water / runoff; cost for new culvert would be shared by the four residents at that location. MBRSD plans to continue work on Marmot this year. The corner of Marmot and Harbor Way also needs a culvert to fix drainage on driveways there. The 2006 Budget was $20,000 for Road Maintenance Work and we recommend the same for this coming year's Budget. This year with total revenues and expenditures, we should have sufficient funds. Goals include: finish culverts and ditching on Marmot, cleaning ditches of D -1 in the SVS District and place on Road Service Property for residential use only. MBRSD needs to discuss ditch material being available to residents as fill either by "call list" or first come... C. Amend Budget for Snow Removal FY 07: December's record snowfall has caused us to move $10,000 from the Fund Balance to finish off April's and possibly May's foul weather. Bills for Feb. are not yet in, but this should get us where we should be. Just like any budgeted items, when there is a positive balance at the end of the year, it reverts back to our Fund Balance. This will be voted on March 7, 2007 at the Regular meeting @ Bayside. D. Budget FY 2008: (See Attachments) FY 06 ends June 30 The Fund Balance is currently $57,225.02. The Board concurs on past votes of trying to keep a Fund Balance of two times the Operational Funds. This is past practice with most Road Services for preparedness for emergencies /catastrophic disasters. Our current Ops Budget to date is $43,075. Within the past two years the Mil Rate has been raised to 2.5 mils to keep up with road maintenance costs and to get roads up to Borough Codes. More than likely, once the Borough Assessor catches up with us, Property Tax should go up and once again the Mil Rate will go down (as it did 8 years ago when there were sufficient funds.) Board Comments: Dave Sundberg states that we will address the issues on Marmot and looks forward to putting in speed bumps to replace the frozen pot holes now in existence. Also the final grading on Marmot was not done before freezing up due to ongoing projects. Darlene Turner invited everyone living in this service district to a joint Fourth of July Party hosted by the Eufemio Family and Darlene Turner. This great event should take place at her house. Randy Spivey asked who is second in charge and any of the Board members could call Louie or Bob Hail of Brechan if Darlene is unavailable. Chaz Glagolich feels strongly that the Borough needs to step in to help fix Marmot correctly. Whether it goes on the CIP or they take time and funds to hand over the Road to us in much better condition. This needs to be addressed with them so that it doesn't dispose of more of our funds. Drew DeVries plans to bring a map of our area to March 7 meeting to help assign tasks for Spring Maintenances. Hopefully, bills will be sent out soon for the installment of past residential culverts. Public access easement at the end of Three Sisters should be looked at again. Possibly, if keys to storm gates were available, this could help with residents and emergencies. Also a huge thanks needs to go to Darlene for the great job done so far on the roads this year.

MBRSD plans to continue work on Marmot this year. The corner of Marmot and Harbor Way also needs a culvert to fix drainage on driveways there. The 2006 Budget was $20,000 for Road Maintenance Work and we recommend the same for this coming year's Budget. This year with total revenues and expenditures, we should have sufficient funds. Goals include: finish culverts and ditching on Marmot, cleaning ditches of D -1 in the SVS District and place on Road Service Property for residential use only. MBRSD needs to discuss ditch material being available to residents as fill either by "call list" or first come... C. Amend Budget for Snow Removal FY 07: December's record snowfall has caused us to move $10,000 from the Fund Balance to finish off April's and possibly May's foul weather. Bills for Feb. are not yet in, but this should get us where we should be. Just like any budgeted items, when there is a positive balance at the end of the year, it reverts back to our Fund Balance. This will be voted on March 7, 2007 at the Regular meeting @ Bayside. D. Budget FY 2008: (See Attachments) FY 06 ends June 30` The Fund Balance is currently $57,225.02. The Board concurs on past votes of trying to keep a Fund Balance of two times the Operational Funds. This is past practice with most Road Services for preparedness for emergencies /catastrophic disasters. Our current Ops Budget to date is $43,075. Within the past two years the Mil Rate has been raised to 2.5 mils to keep up with road maintenance costs and to get roads up to Borough Codes. More than likely, once the Borough Assessor catches up with us, Property Tax should go up and once again the Mil Rate will go down (as it did 8 years ago when there were sufficient funds.) Board Comments: Dave Sundberg states that we will address the issues on Marmot and looks forward to putting in speed bumps to replace the frozen pot holes now in existence. Also the final grading on Marmot was not done before freezing up due to ongoing projects. Darlene Turner invited everyone living in this service district to a joint Fourth of July Party hosted by the Eufemio Family and Darlene Turner. This great event should take place at her house. Randy Spivey asked who is second in charge and any of the Board members could call Louie or Bob Hail of Brechan if Darlene is unavailable. Chaz Glagolich feels strongly that the Borough needs to step in to help fix Marmot correctly. Whether it goes on the CIP or they take time and funds to hand over the Road to us in much better condition. This needs to be addressed with them so that it doesn't dispose of more of our funds. Drew DeVries plans to bring a map of our area to March 7 meeting to help assign tasks for Spring Maintenances. Hopefully, bills will be sent out soon for the installment of past residential culverts. Public access easement at the end of Three Sisters should be looked at again. Possibly, if keys to storm gates were available, this could help with residents and emergencies. Also a huge thanks needs to go to Darlene for the great job done so far on the roads this year.

OLD BUSINESS There was no old business. NEW BUSINESS 5/9/2006 Parks & Recreation Committee Page 1 of 3 A. City Cemetery Land and Trail COMMITTEE MEMBER SCHROEDER spoke regarding the City's request to purchase land from the Borough adjacent to Chichenoff Cemetery so the City could expand the cemetery, and their 3 different proposals. Discussion of the cemetery and hospital. Dvorak stated that Borough portion of land there is part of the hospital site, and explained the possibility of having some sort of assisted living there. Dvorak stated the trail ties in with Baranof Park and East Elementary, and a recommendation could be made because the emphasis is on getting kids to walk to school. COMMITTEE MEMBER SHCROEDER stated the City is preparing to formally ask for the property, and that the Borough received a grant from RTCA to build a trail through there. COMMITTEE MEMBER FOSTER MOVED to table New Business A (City cemetery land and trail) until further information comes available. It was SECONDED by COMMITTEE MEMBER HUNTLEY, and it CARRIED by unanimous voice vote. B. Remote Area Partnering COMMITTEE MEMBER JUENGER stated she spoke to Bud Cassidy about this and he specifically said he was not adverse to it but he was concerned about when the State did it before there were no guidelines or standards set of what they were expected to do. COMMITTEE MEMBER HUNTLEY has reservations about outsourcing maintenance. COMMITTEE MEMBER JUENGER stated Cassidy said to make a formal request. C. Implementation of the current Parks & Recreation section of the Borough Wide Comp Plan Dvorak stated this is the most current draft and it has been reformatted. He encouraged the committee to get their comments submitted to the consultants. Dvorak also said the Borough attorney advised against using the trail maps in the Comp Plan due to a lot of trails are on private property. It was the consensus to read the P &R section and go to the April 4 Comp Plan meeting. COMMITTEE MEMBER FOSTER MOVED to table this item until the next Parks & Recreation Committee meeting. COMMITTEE MEMBER JUENGER SECONDED the motion, and it CARRIED by unanimous voice vote. D. "Trails as Assets" Presentation COMMITTEE MEMBER SHCROEDER showed a PowerPoint presentation on trails. He also said that Kodiak is the pilot project for "Safe Routes to School." He also said any new trails built will require an easement. SCHROEDER also asked Dvorak to look into what a special service district is. Dvorak explained the differences between the different service districts in Kodiak. He also informed the committee that the Recreational Amenities Draft Ordinance is at the Borough attorney's office right now. Discussion regarding the Recreational Amenities and how to sweeten it for the developer. COMMITTEE MEMBER SHCROEDER announced that there is a non - profit for trails in Kodiak now. E. S07 -012 — April Subdivision Case A short discussion of this subdivision. It was the consensus that this is not a P &R issue at this time. Dvorak explained they are just straightening out the lot lines. COMMUNICATIONS A. Email regarding Trails Training Dvorak stated we have the money to send 1 or maybe 2 people and reminded them the P &R Committee is an advisory and policy body. 5/9/2006 Parks & Recreation Committee Page 2 of 3 COMMITTEE MEMBER FOSTER and COMMITTEE MEMBER HUNTLEY expressed interest in attending this training. COMMITTEE MEMBER SHCROEDER MOVED to send COMMITTEE MEMBER FOSTER and COMMITTEE MEMBER HUNTLEY to the April 26 Trails Training in Anchorage hosted by Alaska Trails and National Park Service. The motion was SECONDED by COMMITTEE MEMBER DEMI, and it CARRIED by unanimous voice vote. B. Parks & Recreation Enabling Codes Dvorak explained this is brought forward as a reminder to the committee of their duties and responsibilities as set forth in code, and they exercise a non - area -wide authority.

AUDIENCE COMMENTS AND APPEARANCE REQUESTS There were no audience comments and appearance requests. OLD BUSINESS A. Implementation of Transportation section of the Draft Borough Wide Comp Plan Discussion of roads, sidewalks, and bike /pedestrian paths, and rural and urban Kodiak. It was the consensus that everyone is happy with the Transportation section. B. Implementation of the Parks & Recreation section of the Draft Borough Wide Comp Plan During committee's discussion it was the consensus they were happy the vision statement was included, but the trail plan wasn't covered. On page 14 it talks about create a road system trails plan in Policies, but there isn't any implementation for it. 4/10/2007 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes Page 1 of 7 VICE CHAIR FOREMAN stated there were a number of people who approached her at the Comp Plan meeting requesting a trails plan be done and deal with the different user groups. She also said the Planning & Zoning Commissioners asked her if the P &R Committee could do a plan. VICE CHAIR FOREMAN also stated in Implementation there is a bullet that says "Address the following priority actions in developing and implementing a trails plan for the Borough." COMMITTEE MEMBER SALTONSTALL said they need to add a bullet saying "Explore easement options with private land owners." COMMITTEE MEMBER HUNTLEY stated if we nail this down tight it will restrict our ability to move around it. He feels it leaves enough latitude to implement a trails plan that fits. We don't want to ask them to do this for us. COMMITTEE MEMBER FOSTER asked about on page 15 the main bullet says "Explore creation of other programs or strategies," and in the bullets below it says "Creation of some separate motorized and non - motorized trails." Do we define how or who is going to do that. The key word is "explore creation." Is that the direction P &R is going or is it two separate entities, the Comp Plan and the P &R? COMMITTEE MEMBER SCHROEDER said it is addressed on page 13 under a bullet that says "Evaluate and identify those lands under Borough ownership that would be appropriate for parks and recreation facilities, with a goal of a comprehensive Parks and Recreation Plan to guide future decisions" but it also speaks of P &R as being the committee that would amend and add to the plan. COMMITTEE MEMBER FOSTER expressed concern about the conflict that appears to be on the trails and the implementation of these actions that the Comp Plan talks about who is going to do that. COMMITTEE MEMBER SCHROEDER said on page 11 it says "The Parks and Recreation Committee recommend that they have input on all Borough land use decisions as they pertain to parks or trails." COMMITTEE MEMBER FOSTER stated the point is 3 or 4 members of our committee members are part of a non - profit that is actively pursuing taking over to do the implementation of these, according to what he read on the website. COMMITTEE MEMBER SALTONSTALL stated he sees it as the Island Trails Network is a non - profit to help the Borough and other user groups because the Borough can't do a lot of these things. It can work in conjunction with this committee. COMMITTEE MEMBER SCHROEDER said he doesn't feel that Island Trails Network has any design of a trails plan takeover. He thinks they are designed to be a resource if asked, to bring more resources to the table as far as funding, and help implement the trails plan once it's in place. They're more like a trails partner organization. VICE CHAIR FOREMAN stated if there were bullets that appropriately address Island Trails Network it would be on page 15: including a volunteer program; A trail crew program; Trail fund- raising program. Those are the kinds of things the Island Trails is thinking they can help the Borough with by providing manpower to help maintain trails, getting people trained in trails maintenance and development, and being a non - profit entity they can go after different types of funding that the Borough can't due to being a government. COMMITTEE MEMBER FOSTER is still concerned with the Comp Plan and making policy that will benefit a non - profit that has at least half of our members involved in it. COMMITTEE MEMBER SALTONSTALL reminded the committee that this committee makes policy. On page 11 it says we are the ones who work for the Borough on creating the Trails Plan. Island Trails Network will help the Borough and this committee implement the plan. They will work within the parameters of what is decided here. VICE CHAIR FOREMAN stated they will work as advocates for trails and trail users, and for trying to pick up the gap where the Borough has been unable to focus the energy and attention on trails keeping them clean, maintained, and usable. 4/10/2007 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes Page 2 of 7 COMMITTEE MEMBER HUNTLEY stated going back to the creation of some motorized and non - motorized trails he would like an addition to be as per majority of usage. He doesn't want to see a non - motorized trail changed to a motorized trail because two people drove a 4- wheeler down the trail when it is used mainly by pedestrians and vise versa. Dvorak explained that the committee does not make policy, it develops policy. The Assembly makes or adopts policy. This group investigates, plans, and develops policy that is eventually recommended to the legislators. P &R is an advisory committee. COMMITTEE MEMBER FOSTER stated the recommendations that we send forward are very clear. VICE CHAIR FOREMAN said she is leery about adding anything specific because we don't want to paint ourselves into a tight corner on telling us how we have to do that. It was the consensus not to make it so tight that they paint themselves into a corner, but they also don't want to make it too vague. COMMITTEE MEMBER SCHROEDER'S recommendation is "creation of some trails for specific uses," for horses and bicyclists. VICE CHAIR FOREMAN stated at the Comp Plan meetings the issue that came up over and over was separate trail use. Perhaps we could say "Creation of some separate trails for specific uses including..." COMMITTEE MEMBER FOSTER MOVED TO APPROVE Chapter 9 as presented. The motion was SECONDED by COMMITTEE MEMBER TSCHERICH, and it CARRIED by unanimous voice vote. VICE CHAIR FOREMAN said on page 2 there should be a sub - header that clearly says it is the vision. C. Lester Lightfoot Dvorak stated these are the last copies we had in the office. We don't own the rights, and Stacy Studebaker owns the rights and she did the brochure. He would have to get approval to see about getting a reprint. It was the consensus of the committee to request permission from Stacy Studebaker, update, and reprint the Lester Lightfoot brochures. VICE CHAIR FOREMAN said Ken Warner called her asking where we were on getting the Borough to reprint the brochures because he is interested because Warner's hand them out with the sale of an ATV. Ken Warner is concerned about new transfers during the summer and wants to make sure a brochure gets into the hands of the new ATV owners and transfers. Warner indicated if it is a financial thing that there may be assistance through the Soil, Water, and Conservation people. VICE CHAIR FOREMAN MOVED to request through the Assembly that this brochure be updated and be reprinted with the permission from the owner of the copyrights. The motion was SECONDED by COMMITTEE MEMBER HUNTLEY. Dvorak stated he thinks it did go to the Assembly for approval. That was a product that came from the ATV stakeholder group that was active at that time. Dvorak said the last time it was published it was reviewed for accuracy by each agency that has their logo on it. The question was called, and it CARRIED by unanimous voice vote. NEW BUSINESS A. Tax Foreclosure Property Review COMMITTEE MEMBER SCHROEDER stated the one parcel that may be of concern to them is the one on Devil's Prong because it doesn't have a house on it, and it's in a neighborhood that is becoming developed. It could possibly have a pocket park or park potential. It may already have a trail on it. Dvorak clarified that because they are reviewing these properties it means the Borough already owns them and has received Clerk's deeds from the court transferring ownership to the Borough. The purpose of this 4/10/2007 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 7 review is to provide an initial assessment whether or not these properties should be resold to the public or retained by the Borough for a public purpose. If you recommended a property to be withheld for a public purpose you would need to state that purpose and make that recommendation. If the Assembly agrees with that recommendation it would take that property out of contention of being redeemed by the property owner. If it's designated for a public purpose their opportunity to redeem their property is foreclosed permanently, and thereafter the Borough can do with it as it will. Dvorak brought to their attention the remote parcels, which are the Uyak Bay parcel and another one in Larsen Bay. Dvorak believes the one in Uyak is next to refuge land. In past instances the Borough had the Assembly designate properties like this for a public purpose, and then negotiated with the refuge. COMMITTEE MEMBER JUENGER clarified the only time Fish & Wildlife Service expresses interest is if they are given a list of foreclosed properties and if they express an interest then negotiations start at that point. They have not expressed an interest. COMMITTEE MEMBER SCHROEDER asked if the committee could make a recommendation that a trail easement be placed on the property before it is turned back around to the public. Dvorak stated they probably need to make a recommendation to the Borough that this property be withheld for public purposes. That closes the redemption period and it makes a statement that it is not to be resold to the public because we will withhold some or all of it for public purposes. Once that has been stated the Borough could put an easement on it. It's more complicated than it may seem. COMMITTEE MEMBER SCHROEDER MOVED to retain the Mountain View property with the intent not for reserving it all for recreational use but to buy a little at a time to try to get a trail easement to connect two communities that are currently walled off from one another. The motion was SECONDED by VICE CHAIR FOREMAN. COMMITTEE MEMBER TSCHERICH asked Dvorak if it would be possible to make a deal with a property owner if they are subdividing and sell off a piece to the Borough in order to expunge tax liabilities. Dvorak said that is a finance question, but State statutes dictates how we tax property owners and what forms of value they can give us. If this property physically connected Devil's Prong with Marmot he would see more value of retaining this property. VICE CHAIR FOREMAN asked Dvorak what would be the appropriate channels, could we say our recommendation, although we don't want to hold up this piece of property from possible sale, we do see it as a way to connect two neighborhoods, and can we make a formal request to Planning & Zoning that they start those conversations; otherwise it's going to get lost. The question was called, and it FAILED by unanimous voice vote. Dvorak asked if there is a road service area there, and if so does it include both Marmot and Devil's Prong in the same district because if there were a trail someone would have to be responsible for maintenance and it would probably be the service district. COMMITTEE MEMBER SALTONSTALL said we can do more research, and then go to the Planning & Zoning meeting. He would also like this property on the next agenda. Dvorak stated it's on the May 16 Planning & Zoning agenda. COMMITTEE MEMBER JUENGER stated the next land sale will be late fall. Dvorak said there's time in the summer to look at this and if a recommendation comes back the Assembly can be prevailed upon to reconsider their decision as long as the property hasn't been redeemed. COMMITTEE MEMBER SCHROEDER said he will take photos to provide staff so it can be reconsidered as its own trail. B. S07 -013 Subdivision Case Dvorak stated the owner of Lot 2A requested from the owner of Lot 1 A to buy a portion of their property. The purpose of this is to sell the property owner of Lot 2A of about a 20 foot swath of property. 4/10/2007 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes Page 4 of 7 C. Resolution FY 2005 -06 — DNR Recommendations COMMITTEE MEMBER SALTONSTALL stated VICE CHAIR FOREMAN, COMMITTEE MEMBER TSCHERICH and he went to the Comp Plan meeting, and what VICE CHAIR FOREMAN and he want brought on is land use recommendations for all the parcels on the road system. People are wondering if it's for residential, industrial or what. VICE CHAIR FOREMAN and himself want to come up with recommendations for areas on the road system. If we could come up with a broad statement, and make a motion saying something like we want to keep the access to all land on the road system and would like development to occur in tight areas or something like that. VICE CHAIR FOREMAN said she isn't opposed to a broad statement. There was concern about the fact that there wasn't a lot of discussion of what's going to happen with development between Womens Bay and Chiniak. What happens if the Lesnoi land becomes available? Do we go along assuming it will never happen or should we make recommendations to maintain access areas. Dvorak said one of the biggest comments from this process was that the State planners were designating a number of well known access points and beaches as potential settlement and in the State's language settlement mean disposals; cabin sites and private ownership. Down the line you will see the proposed KIB designation indicates Rd- Recreation Dispersed, which means it is unimproved recreation lands. This only references a certain number of locations, presumably because other common locations were already referenced for Recreation dispersed. The consultants have a copy of the State's final plan and they could look at that to do some mapping that is consistent with these recreational recommendations. Dvorak can send them a copy of this letter along with a little discussion. One map he would draw the committee's attention to is the Chiniak map because it didn't have a lot of forward looking designations. It just legitimizes the existing zoning pattern with the legend of proposed land uses. The 1982 plan really only identified a narrow corridor from Thumbs Up to Roads End and that was the Chiniak planning area. The residents said "no" they want to embrace the watershed concept even though it may be privately owned Lesnoi land it is still a part of Chiniak from the standpoint of you go through Chiniak to go to it, and a lot of people in Chiniak use it as a resource. When the committee says there are unmapped areas Dvorak thinks they are talking about between Kalsin Bay and Womens Bay. Look at the Chiniak map and identify specific beaches and they are already on the map they just aren't designated for our purpose. We lost VICE CHAIR FOREMAN on the phone at 8:45 p.m. COMMITTEE MEMBER SALTONSTALL stated perhaps we could say we prefer to see that area deemed recreational and we want to maintain public access to these areas and would prefer more development in areas where there is already development. COMMITTEE MEMBER FOSTER said it looks like the DNR is recommending Narrow Cape, Chiniak, Saltery Cove as General Use over Recreational. Do they have different definitions for the same thing that we are talking about? COMMITTEE MEMBER SALTONSTALL said this is for the State plan and we are talking about zoning which the State doesn't have zoning that would be recreational. Dvorak stated the State plan use is a lot more about making resource decisions on how to use land, but they don't have zoning. Anything that hasn't been subdivided on the Chiniak map that goes to Kalsin Bay was designated Conservation. COMMITTEE MEMBER SALTONSTALL said as a group we all would want that to be Conservation. We don't want to see it subdivided. Dvorak stated Conservation is a fairly intensive zone. It allows for agricultural uses, fish sites, residential, and agricultural buildings such as barns. If you are talking about Open Space recreational uses it prohibits motorized trail use. Residential zone is the bottom line, large lot and low density. Conservation zone allows for small scale lodges for up to 6 guests as a permitted use. More than 6 guests as a conditional use. VICE CHAIR FOREMAN called to teleconference the meeting again. 4/10/2007 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes Page 5 of 7 COMMITTEE MEMBER HUNTLEY said our recommendations for the State land would be the same recommendations we had for dispersing of private lands. COMMITTEE MEMBER SALTONSTALL said what you are saying is what we recommended for State land we recommend for the whole area. Dvorak said they will have to look at the Chiniak map online in the Land Use chapter. COMMITTEE MEMBER SALTONSTALL asked Dvorak if he will convey this to the consultants. Dvorak said yes and keeping the tidelands open for public access and any existing public land adjacent also. VICE CHAIR FOREMAN asked how is most of the Lesnoi land along the Kalsin Bay area and Middle Bay area zoned currently. Dvorak stated all the Lesnoi lands are zoned for Conservation. VICE CHAIR FOREMAN asked Dvorak if he remembered the two pieces of land across the highway from Fort Abercrombie, she thought they had made a formal recommendation to the Assembly that they consider working with State Parks to purchase some of that land. If you look at the land use map it is being recommended to be put up for sale. VICE CHAIR FOREMAN said they had a couple of options, which one of the options was definitely against our recommendation. They were saying we should consider this for residential development. I don't know what the Assembly ever done with our recommendation that they consider going into negotiations with State Parks. She thought on the State Parks plan for Fort Abercrombie the park was recommending some kind of land deal. COMMITTEE MEMBER SALTONSTALL said he knows they are getting the Ram site, but he doesn't know if the parcel crosses the road. Dvorak thinks it is all the same parcel. VICE CHAIR FOREMAN said there is a City parcel and a Borough parcel side by side. Dvorak said the City parcel that is side by side with the Borough parcel is part of the Ram site. VICE CHAIR FOREMAN recommends they make a very clear statement that our recommendation is that all that land including the Borough parcel be maintained as recreational. COMMITTEE MEMBER SALTONSTALL said we can add that we don't want the top parcel, which is part of the Ram site, separated. We definitely want that part to go to the park. COMMITTEE MEMBER HUNTLEY recommended we go a step further and say we want the park to become the custodian of that piece. VICE CHAIR FOREMAN told Dvorak to look at the Land Use chapter to find out which option we want to maintain. COMMITTEE MEMBER HUNTLEY said we need to find the original motion. Dvorak stated he doesn't want the committee to have the impression that the consultants were making a recommendation against the committee's recommendation. The consultants heard from other elements of the community and their message was they need more area to build houses and such. COMMUNICATIONS VICE CHAIR FOREMAN said she got an email from Wayne Biessell saying the Parks Board is meeting this coming Monday at 7:00 pm at Fort Abercrombie, and asked if we would like an opportunity to present any Comp Plan issues this group should be made aware of. There will be one more meeting in May before the summer hiatus until September. Let them know so they can get it on the agenda. COMMITTEE MEMBER SALTONSTALL said we should tell them what we were just talking about. He said he will talk to Biessell about having him present it. 4/10/2007 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes Page 6 of 7 REPORTS A. Meeting Schedule: • April 24, 2007 P &R meeting at 7:00 p.m. in the KIB SD conference room. • May 8, 2007 P &R meeting at 7:00 p.m. in the KIB SD conference room. COMMITTEE MEMBER SALTONSTALL stated he wouldn't be able to make the May 8 meeting. B. Gravel Task Force Minutes of January 8, 2007 Dvorak reported the group has been looking into the prospect of other potential gravel sources for the community to allow for some transition away from the gravel sources in the Womens Bay community. They have been meeting for about a year now. The Gravel Task Force is going to try to investigate the Salonie Creek drainage and also the piece of property next to the fairgrounds between Sargent Creek and the fairgrounds that belongs to the Coast Guard. Martin Lydick has been working on a new RFP, and we have tentative approval to go into the Coast Guard land to do our investigation. We are working on an environmental threshold determination right now. It will probably be categorically exempt. At the last P &R meeting we talked about the Recreational Amenities Draft Ordinance and where it was at. It was just sent and in review now. We should be hearing something in the next week or two. AUDIENCE COMMENTS There were no audience comments. COMMITTEE MEMBERS' COMMENTS There were no comments. ADJOURNMENT COMMITTEE MEMBER SALTONSTALL requested a motion to adjourn.

COMMISSIONER COMMENTS COMMISSIONER CARVER commented on the last issue regarding the enforcement of our codes and inspections that are to enforce our codes. He feels we need to re -look at this policy that exists in this borough where enforcement is only really done in any real way after there's a complaint that has been lodged with respect of some issue regarding the Planning & Zoning statutes and codes. This is a clear case that this policy has gotten us in trouble and will continue to get us in trouble. We have codes for a very real reason and they're only as good as to the degree that they can be implemented and enforced. It is unfortunate to have to deal with code violations after the fact and he feels there should be more thorough inspection and enforcement to ensure these kinds of things whether they are honest mistakes or intentional code violations don't take place before the fact and not after the fact. COMMISSIONER JUENGER thanked Martin Lydick for his assertiveness in his positions when he is right. COMMISSIONER JANZ stated she hopes we can continue to strive to support small businesses in their endeavors. She also thanked the Borough for sending herself and 3 others to Commissioner Training last month. It was very educational and she learned a lot and thanks the borough for their support. CHAIR KING thanked everyone.

MOTION SCHOOL BOARD REGULAR MEETING February 19, 2007 Page 2 PEGGY TUTTLE moved to approve the minutes of the Regular Meeting of January 22, 2007, as presented. ROY BROWN seconded the motion and it carried unanimously by a voice vote of all members present. RECOGNITION OF VISITORS: Superintendent Betty Walters welcomed all in attendance and in the listening and viewing audiences. COMMUNITY COMMENTS: 1. Pat Jacobson stepped to the podium to inform the Board of her concerns and disappointment regarding the Superintendent's situation and the way it is being handled by the School Board. Ms. Jacobson stated she had learned through the newspaper and various meetings that the Superintendent has not received a complete evaluation in 2 or 3 years and asked the Board to address this issue to explain why. She hopes every school employee is given an official evaluation each year, as it is in the best interest of the district and individual to have that procedure implemented annually. Her impression that our Superintendent is doing an excellent job is reinforced by honors such as the Blue Ribbon School Award. The Kodiak School District has an excellent reputation state -wide which is based on a good staff as well as competent, dedicated, efficient, and supportive leadership from the top down. Ms. Jacobson does not understand why the Superintendent did not receive the same raise the teachers got or why a three -year contract was not offered. She informed the Board that she lived through seven superintendents during her teaching career and there were none better than Betty Walters. Betty has proven to be dedicated, well intended, kid oriented, and respectable; she is not political and makes the hard decisions when necessary. Ms. Jacobson stated that is what she wants and expects from a superintendent. What Ms. Jacobson is hearing from the staff and the public is they are looking to the School Board to right this wrong and get this district back on an even keel with Betty Walters at the helm. The negative publicity out there right now is not in the best interest of kids. 2. Dr. Bob Johnson stepped to the podium to say he respects the job the School Board members are doing and the dedication they exhibit. He didn't come to say he fully endorses Pat Jacobson's remarks but he has witnessed every superintendent of the Kodiak School District since they began. He has never seen a better superintendent than Betty Walters and thinks the School Board members should recognize that if they are looking. Dr. Johnson stated the last time he addressed the Board was to urge them to consider introducing instrumental music in the elementary grades. Today he is here to say our high school has a remarkable young man and that he has never seen one better in the capacity of music teacher than Dale Lhotka. Dale has the capacity to light a fire in every student he comes in contact with as well as the adults who come in contact with his works. Instrumental work is Dale's specialty and he has the ability to make good musicians out of not so talented students. Dale deserves your support by funding 6 grade instrumental SCHOOL BOARD REGULAR MEETING February 19, 2007 Page 3 music. Sixth grade is where the students' instrumental music interest is piqued. Our district does not want to lose Dale Lhotka. Dr. Johnson again urged the Board to fund a sixth grade instrumental music program. CORRESPONDENCE: None PROGRAM/STAFF REPORTS: 1. Volunteers of the Month — Karluk School staff recognized Sarah Reft as their Volunteer of the Month. Small Schools Principal Bill Watkins was out of town so Superintendent Betty Walters gave an overview of Sarah Reft's contributions. Sarah volunteers at Karluk School twice a week to facilitate Alutiiq language lessons and almost daily to have lunch and play in the gym with the students. Karluk students show clear signs of progress and an appreciation of the importance of their language, legacy, and heritage due to Sarah's effort. The certificate of appreciation will be presented to Sarah by the next school person traveling to Karluk. 2. Junior Achievement — Director of Curriculum and Staff Development Laurie Busness stepped to the podium to update the Board members on Junior Achievement and our local activities. Junior Achievement is the world's oldest and largest organization dedicated to educating and inspiring students, grades K -12, to value free enterprise, business economics, work readiness, and financial literacy through experiential hands -on programs. Junior Achievement programs are taught by classroom volunteers from all walks of life; including business people, college students, and retirees. This program reaches more and 7.5 million students in over 305,000 classrooms in the United States annually. The program is designed to teach elementary students about their roles as individuals, workers, and consumers and to prepare middle and high school students for key economic and workforce issues they will face. The local interest in Kodiak seems to be waning, likely due to the demands of our ever increasing academic standards. In the past our district has had active participation in Junior Achievement at the high school, middle school and several elementary buildings. Currently, Main Elementary is the only school accessing the Junior Achievement programs. Laurie Busness is in the process of scheduling Jan Craig of the Anchorage Junior Achievement Office to speak to our administrative staff in an effort to get the programs utilized more in our district. Board Member Norm Wooten asked how many students were currently involved in Junior Achievement. Laurie Busness responded there are five classrooms at Main Elementary, one in each grade level. Norm Wooten stated the Chamber of Commerce would enjoy being involved in this and encouraged Laurie to give him a call. Board Member Peggy Tuttle asked why the program has gone backwards from the past, is it a lack of planning. Laurie Busness was unsure as to the reason but speculated increased accountability for bell - to -bell teaching and strict academic rigor in our classrooms. Peggy Tuttle asked if the lack was just a Kodiak problem or was it nation -wide. Laurie Busness replied the program is on the increase nationally and internationally. Betty Walters shared Junior Achievement was SCHOOL BOARD REGULAR MEETING February 19, 2007 Page 4 first introduced to our district during the 1989/90 school year, spearheaded by then Middle School Principal Mike Berg. In addition KHS graduate Michelle Egan was the Junior Achievement representative traveling the state at the time which really helped the local program and the Chamber of Commerce was also very involved. Peterson Elementary had a good sized program as well as other schools so it may come back again. Peggy Tuttle thought this program may be another way to keep students engaged and in school. Superintendent Walters pointed out in fairness to the teaching staff, which would have to weave this program into their curriculum, are already overwhelmed with things we ask them to do. 3. Bond and Seismic Update — Director of Emergency Services Larry LeDoux stepped to the podium and invited Bud Cassidy, Director of Engineering and Facilities for the Borough, to update the Board on the current status of bond and seismic projects. Bud Cassidy thanked Larry LeDoux for inviting him and said all projects have gone through the Borough's RFP process and have architects selected for them. Seismic vulnerability studies are complete for the single story of the middle school, Kodiak High School library wing, Peterson School and the Ouzinkie School foundation and because safety issues are priority, these projects will be addressed first. The FEMA funding request has not yet been received although our application was deemed best in the nation. Bud Cassidy credited the legislature for the $910,000 grant we received and the Borough for the $400,000 they contributed to these projects. In addition, the State of Alaska awarded $400,000 to help fund the KHS library wing project and seismic retrofit project in Quzinkie. Funding is also anticipated to help defer non - structural costs. Recently the Borough submitted two state grants, one for Peterson Elementary and one for other non - seismic projects, including new windows at East Elementary. The new pool is the first piece toward completion of other projects after the old pool is filled in. Last summer the North Star Elementary gym floor was completed and the High School asbestos removal project. This coming summer promises to see the beginning of the middle school retrofit project, the gym section of the Quzinkie School foundation, the start of the new pool, the installation of a new fuel tank as part of the vocational project, the middle school concrete repair project, and repair work to computer oriented systems that operate air and heating systems in the buildings. Board Member Norm Wooten inquired when these projects start, will project management be done within the Borough or will it be hired out. Bud Cassidy responded there is a need for project inspection on a daily basis which would be contracted out. Board Member Peggy Tuttle asked if exterior painting of the Quzinkie School would be done this summer. Bud Cassidy stated the concentration this summer will be on the foundation. Exterior painting will be done at the completion of the planned enlargement to the Quzinkie gym. Board President Elizabeth Odell inquired about project status in Old Harbor. Bud Cassidy stated the Borough is currently negotiating the final contract with the selected architect for Old Harbor and once the contract is settled it will take approximately 6 months to design the project. Therefore, no construction will take place in Old Harbor this summer. SCHOOL BOARD REGULAR MEETING February 19, 2007 Page 5 4. Pandemic Flu Update — Director of Emergency Services Larry LeDoux stepped to the podium to speak of a recent two -day tabletop exercise (by email) he participated in along with other Alaska school districts, and a number of state agencies to discuss what procedures need to be followed in the case of a pandemic disease outbreak. Due to the nature of a pandemic epidemic it was agreed that each community needs to have a comprehensive plan in place to deal with such an emergency. The Kodiak City Manger has planned a kick -off community -wide meeting to start this planning process on Wednesday, February 21, 2007. Communities, as well as health agencies, emergency service agencies, etc., throughout the state are taking this issue very seriously. SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT: 1. New teachers and their mentors from Kodiak as well as the villages participated in a workshop held over the weekend to share their collaboration and progress. Superintendent Walters stated is was good for Jack Walsh and her listen to what staff had to say about how things are going as well as feed back on what is was like to be hired by KIBSD, to arrive on the island and to go into their new school and community for the first time. Suggestions were made as to how our district could better the transition for those coming from village to town or college student to the classroom. 2. It is important for the listening audience to know there are ways to support the district's effort toward budget development. Principals have been making direct contact with families, and sending newsletters and emails to ensure everyone is aware of the district's needs. All community members are encouraged to contact Senator Gary Stevens and Representative Gabrielle LeDoux with any input regarding the state budget and local appropriation. The legislative information office holds hearings in Juneau which are advertised in the local newspaper and radio. The more testimony at these hearings the better so that the legislature is informed of our local needs. Hopefully the TERS /PERS will be taken care of this year outside the regular state formula and the cost differential (25% one - time -only) last year will continue and be increased. Senate Bill 1 (proposed by Sen. Garry Wilken) would increase base student allocation by $430, which would assist us in our efforts to educate students. If these items pass the legislature soon we will be able to proceed with non - tenured contracts. Tenured contracts will likely be issued in March. 3. Some of our staff have been attending meetings at Kodiak College to focus on vocational education, technology preparation and career enhancement; and to ensure our cooperative effort with the college allows community members as well as our students to receive these commercial type opportunities. In addition, the dual credit program at the high school and college has been beneficial not only to students but also to the parents who pay the bill. 4. Superintendent Walters invited Laurie Busness to the podium to alert the Board of the upcoming "Relay for Life" event. Laurie Busness is the advisor of the Kodiak High School Community Student Involvement group. She stated the group brainstormed ways to SCHOOL BOARD REGULAR MEETING February 19, 2007 Page 6 involve the community in things they are doing and decided to host the first "Kodiak Relay for Life." "Relay for Life" is a national event where communities join efforts in the fight against cancer. Teams will camp in Kodiak High School and take turns walking a predetermined course around the high school and middle school for an 18 -hour time span. The event will begin with opening ceremonies at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, April 13, 2007, and conclude with closing ceremonies at noon on Saturday, April 14, 2007. A stage will be set up during the event to showcase the talents of local youth and community. Relay teams are currently being sought to participate and cancer survivors to be honored. Ms. Busness encouraged anyone interested in being involved to contact her. Flyers were passed out to the Board members. Board President Elizabeth Odell apologized for all the Board members who will be out of town during the "Relay for Life" event. She hoped it would be an annual event and one the Board members could participate in next year. UNFINISHED BUSINESS: None NEW BUSINESS: 1.

Superintendent's Contract — MOTION SCHOOL BOARD REGULAR MEETING February 19, 2007 Page 9 NORM WOOTEN moved to offer Betty Walters, Superintendent of Kodiak Island Borough School District, a three -year contract, effective July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2010 with a salary increase of 3 %. ROY BROWN seconded the motion. NORM WOOTEN added a statement to the motion: For the first time as a school board member I am embarrassed to admit that in the name of seeking consensus I agreed to a previous action that I do not believe is in the best interest of Kodiak students. In my opinion, offering a one -year contract with no salary increase was demeaning to our superintendent and was not the appropriate message from the School Board to the community. Again, it is my belief that Ms. Walters has provided superb educational leadership for the Kodiak Island Borough School District. She has demanded excellence from herself and from every staff member in the District. She has carried out Board Policy, which is our policy, to the very best of her ability even when she might have a personal disagreement with it. Under her leadership our students have made phenomenal progress in passing all three elements of the Alaska High School Graduation Qualifying Examination. Our schools, under her tutelage, are making steady progress and meeting adequate yearly progress. One of our schools has even been named a Blue Ribbon School. Certainly much of the credit goes to our teachers, classified employees and administrators. Ms. Walters sets the expectations and ensures resources are in place for these goals. While in Juneau this past week I was again reminded of the high respect for both Ms. Walters and our school district. I've received many community comments over the last month, most expressing dismay at the prospect of changing leadership in the midst of our progress with increased student achievement. I had to be reminded this week by a community member that doing the right thing for kids is why I was elected to the School Board seventeen years ago and why I continue to be reelected. All my colleagues will likely not agree with me on this motion but I need to do the right thing for our students as I see fit. I would encourage your support for this motion. ROY BROWN stated he would like to sign on to Norm Wooten's statement if he would allow it. Some of the discussion regarding the Superintendent, the issues raised in that statement, considering achievement of our school district has met with the response that we would have this kind of district anyway. I propose to anybody and everybody that our district is not reaching its potential in spite of Betty Walters but inclusive of Betty Walters. I don't know how anybody can argue different and most of the arguments that have come forward are subjective in nature, baseless in fact, and nothing more than antidotal comments like Pat brought up, "I've heard around its time for a change ". I don't know that any of us in our own work places would operate under that kind of pretense. Thank you Norm for bringing this motion forward and I'll join with you with a vote of yes. MOTION PEGGY TUTTLE moved to table the motion to offer Betty Walters, Superintendent of Kodiak Island Borough School District, a three -year contract, effective July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2010 with a salary increase of 3% until the March 26, 2007 regular meeting. ELIZABETH ODELL seconded the motion. Roll call vote was taken on the motion to table. SCHOOL BOARD REGULAR MEETING February 19, 2007 Page 10 NAYES — Roy Brown, Norm Wooten; AYES — Peggy Tuttle, Elizabeth Odell. MOTION FAILED for lack of majority. Discussion was asked for on the main motion to offer Betty Walters, Superintendent of Kodiak Island Borough School District, a three -year contract, effective July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2010 with a salary increase of 3 %. PEGGY TUTTLE stated she does not feel comfortable, being new to the Board, granting a three -year contract when I was voted in by a lot of people I believe who may be looking for a change, I don't know. I am still learning. I believe I need to make an educated decision on the Superintendent with knowledge of the District. I came into this position, everyone knows, with no preconceived notion, either way I really didn't know, I mean I knew who Betty Walters was but I had no preconceived notion of the District. I feel I need a few more months to make a well educated decision on what our district is, what everybody's views are, by facts and I am still gathering that. So, I don't feel comfortable at this point signing on to a three year contract when I know through voices that have come to me, from the public, I don't want people to think I'm hearing voices, that there is look for new, I won't say change, a new look on to the facts of what is going on in the District so that is where I stand. Roll call vote was taken on the motion to offer Betty Walters, Superintendent of Kodiak Island Borough School District, a three -year contract, effective July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2010 with a salary increase of 3 %.

Dave Jones stated Betty Walters is the best superintendent he has ever worked for and she bases her decisions on what is in the best interest of children. With nineteen years of experience at /with school board meetings it is Dave's opinion that the lack of constant public complaints is a good indication things are going well in the District, which holds true in Kodiak. Dave Jones called Mary Francis of AASA (Alaska Association of School Administrators) to ask for an honest opinion of how Kodiak is viewed by others in the State. Mary Francis said the Kodiak School District is viewed as a leader in Alaska education, always on the leading edge causing other districts to want to do what we do. You don't get those kinds of comments without good leadership. Mr. Jones shared with the Board that his son, who attended 4 through 12 grade in Kodiak, did so well on his ACT and SAT tests that he recently qualified for additional financial aid at Montana State University. Dave Jones would like to see his other two children, an 11 grader and an 8 grader, educated under a district that is lead by Betty Walters as the Superintendent. Things are going good in our District and we do not need a change. 2. Director of Personnel and Student Services Jack Walsh stepped to the podium to remind the Board of concerns the community of Chiniak has regarding enrollment numbers and what will happen next year.

FY 08 Budget Public Hearing — The regular meeting was closed at 7:30 p.m. for a public hearing to allow for public comments regarding the FY 08 budget. The following people consecutively stepped to the podium to voice their comments: Music teacher Petal Ruch shared her concerns regarding funding for music programs in our schools. She is a substitute teacher for the District and privately teaches choir. Currently Mrs. Ruch teaches choir to 25 middle school students and advanced choir to high school students. For the past four years the Chamber Ensemble has performed at the State level and placed in the top three. Her fear is if students don't begin music instruction at the elementary level there will be no feeder program, therefore setting the high school program up for failure. The problem is increasingly complex due to high school /middle shared facility and scheduling difficulties. Board Member Jeff Stephan asked Petal what she would recommend and her suggestion was for the Board to fund sixth grade band and choir programs and a middle school choir program. Community member Paul Titcombe introduced himself as a concerned citizen who feels music matters as it is the common factor of every country in the world. He asked the Board to remember that music matters when they discuss the budget. He would hate to see the children of Kodiak lose out on the opportunity to learn music. Community member Ben Ardinger shared the statement "No Child Left Behind" has been on his mind and he feels Kodiak students have been "left behind" in the area of music. In 1999 he came with others to persuade the School Board to reinstate the elementary band program; it lasted a year and a half and was cut again. Six years ago he researched other Alaskan districts to find they all started their instrumental programs in SCHOOL BOARD REGULAR MEETING March 26, 2007 Page 5 the fifth grade. We have feeder programs for sports and need to have the same for the arts. He introduced his second grade grandson, Sawyer, and said he plays a mean fiddle. Board Member Jeff Stephan asked Ben Ardinger what his first step would be with limited resources. He replied that it be would to start strong with an elementary music feeder program. Kodiak High School senior Antonia DeLucia shared that she has been involved with music for four years and that it is the most important thing in her life. It allowed her the opportunity to participate in competitions with other schools and she traveled to Europe with the choir in 2005. She thanked Petal Ruch, Mr. Lhotka and all the others who have worked so hard to keep the current music department together despite previous budget cuts. Miss DeLucia feels inexperience keeps potential musicians from participating in high school music programs. Board President Elizabeth Odell urged all addressing the School Board to also communicate their concerns to the legislators in Juneau as that would help with funding. Kodiak High School senior Renata Ballesteros stated she supports the music department because music is excellent for kids, keeps them out of trouble and something to live for. It would be taking a great opportunity from kids to cut this program. Kodiak High School sophomore Melania DeLucia said the students at Kodiak Middle School don't really know about the high school music program and feels there would be more interest and involvement if a program existed at the elementary levels. She thanked Petal Ruch and Mr. Lhotka for their instruction. Parent Andrea Anderson stated she is an involved parent who is active in the high school and middle school band programs as her daughters play instruments. Studies have shown that music started at a young age increases the learning ability of children and produces smarter students. Two years ago, eight of ten high school academic achievement awards were given to band students. She feels music is more important to students than sports - P.E. is required and music is an elective. Music is something that needs to be funded somehow. Alex Turner addressed the Board Members via telephone. She asked what will happen to the extra money when the band program is cut. Will it be given to the sports programs? She thinks that money should go toward a high school marching band. Band students had to work to generate the money to go to regions and State. Programs need to be initiated in the elementary grades. Board President Elizabeth Odell clarified that the Board is not planning to cut the high school band program but is hoping to bring back the elementary music program. SCHOOL BOARD REGULAR MEETING March 26, 2007 Page 6 Kodiak High School teacher Larry Olsen stepped to the podium to say he supports funding an elementary music program. His passion has always been for sports but with two small children that passion has changed to music due to research regarding benefits to the brain. Those who are currently taking private lessons are the only ones that can afford to get passionate about music. This music program issue seems to come up every budget cycle. He hopes the community gets as passionate about music as they are about sports. Third grader Beau. Mann called to say he plays the piano and music is relaxing to his family. He asked the Board to start a band program at fifth grade or lower grade level. The following people consecutively stepped to the podium to voice their comments: East Elementary teacher Susan Gill addressed the Board Members as a parent and educator. Her son was in the seventh grade when they moved here from Maine and had been playing the saxophone for two years. At Kodiak Middle School he was faced with the decision to choose band or other electives such art, home economics, as he couldn't do both. Mrs. Gill feels this is an example of how the middle school band is set up for failure. Schedules need to be looked at and music needs to be started at a younger age. As an educator, she supports the addition of an art teacher. Kodiak High School junior Laura Ranney called to say she has been in band since sixth grade and was in one of the last classes to benefit from a feeder program. Instrumental instruction gave her discipline and helped her throughout middle school and high school. An elementary feeder program would make a tremendous impact at the high school level as well as generally aiding students in other academic areas, Kodiak High School sophomore Lydia Anderson shared she is a vocalist and plays the violin and cello. She credits private lessons for her advancement and hopes a more comprehensive music program can be established in the schools. She thanked Petal Ruch, Constance Jensen and Mr. Lhotka for their efforts in teaching music to the youth of Kodiak. Dr. Bob Johnson called to thank Board Members for responding to the recent email he sent them in support of funding an elementary music program. Eight balalaika musicians were rehearsing in the background and Dr. Bob again beseeched the Board to recreate a sixth grade music program and at lower grades also if possible. The following people consecutively stepped to the pocliurn to voice their cnrnnlents: Kodiak High School freshman Karsten Schick told the Board Members that he is a saxophone player in Mr. Lhotka's concert band and that he started his music education as a toddler. In Michigan he began playing the piano in second grade. By the fifth grade he was playing complicated "Lord of the Ring" pieces and also participated in the band SCHOOL BOARD REGULAR MEETING March 26, 2007 Page 7 program which allowed him to interact and work with other students. His family moved back to Kodiak during his seventh grade year and upon enrolling in the middle school band was shocked at how far behind the program was. Karsten urged Board Members to fund an instrumental program for the sixth grade, fifth grade would be even better, as well as provide funding for instruments and supplies. Kodiak High School senior Maggie Yngve testified that she is not involved in the band program and was a victim of the music program cuts of 2000. She feels her musical and academic abilities were greatly hampered by those cuts. Maggie feels music instruction improves the development of children's brains and strongly encouraged Board Members to fund the elementary band program. She also stated that drug and alcohol use is crazy at the high school and most students who don't party are musicians. Kodiak High School senior Imuya Dooley stated music instruction has given her courage and that she wants to further her education in the field of music therapy. She wishes she could have started younger and feels hindered from it. Music is a lifelong passion and a lifestyle. Research has proved that music reduces stress, something that all high school students experience. Constance Jensen called to support the elementary band program. Most of what is learned at school is for future use. We do music in the present tense. It is very healthy for mind, for the body, and for learning. She would like to see band, orchestra and especially choir at the middle school and band and orchestra started at the elementary buildings. The following people consecutively stepped to the podium to voice their comments: Kodiak High School senior Jessica Rauwolf shared she is involved in Chamber Ensemble, choir, and private lessons with Petal Ruch. These experiences have helped her get her voice out there. She fully supports putting music programs back into the elementary levels. Kodiak High School junior Carol. Schomburg shared that she has a rich musical background but lost interest when she moved to Kodiak as she was looking forward to participating in a high school marching band. She is currently involved in theatre and singing. Music is an expression of the soul and she wishes all students could experience the musical opportunities she has had. Parent Rachel Nelson came to follow -up on a letter she had sent the Board Members a couple of weeks ago. It is important to give kids the opportunity to learn an instrument at an early age to enhance a well - rounded education. She hopes the elementary program will be reinstated. SCHOOL BOARD REGULAR MEETING March 26, 2007 Page 8 On behalf of the Peterson Elementary PTA, Renee Geiszler urged the Board to fund an elementary music program. She understands that the budget is limited but would like to see one full -time music teacher to be shared by Peterson Elementary and North Star Elementary. Not all students are athletes or can afford private lessons. Band is an option for kids to find a spot for themselves at a critical age. The District has instruments that are collecting dust and students who want to play them. Please provide the funding. Kodiak High School freshman Chaven Davidson stood to say that music has really affected his life. He learned from private lessons but believes that not having the opportunity in sixth grade did affect his ability. He plays in the high school band and supports the music program. Parent Linda Himmelbloom stated if students have a good emphasis on the arts they have another whole world of understanding...strong arts = strong schools. She supports a feeder program from the elementary grades. Betsy Myrick shared that she has lived in Kodiak for the past thirty seven years and has approached the Board three previous times to request the reinstatement of an elementary instrumental program. She believes the younger you start students the better their foundation and confidence will be for the future. It is hard to be a beginning musician when you are in high school. Music needs to be put back in our community and the schools would reach the largest numbers. Kodiak Middle School seventh grade student Arne Schick stood to say he wished he could have started band in the sixth grade as it would have helped him to be a more developed pianist today. He urged the Board to fund band and choir programs for sixth grade. Community member Scott Griffin called to say that the Kodiak community cherishes adult artists and finds it odd that there is such a dilemma over an elementary music program. He challenged the School Board to find funding for the program. Parent Peggy Rauwolf stepped to the podium to speak of her family's love for music and how it affects their everyday lives. She thanked Mrs. Davidson for her efforts with the elementary music cart and requested the School Board fund an elementary music program. North Star Elementary teacher and parent of three Marilyn Kreta called to voice her support of reinstating an elementary band program. She also said she intends to email the legislators with her concerns. The following people consecutively stepped to the podium to voice their comments: SCHOOL BOARD REGULAR MEETING March 26, 2007 Page 9 KIBSD music teacher Elizabeth Dano informed the Board Members that in her opinion, the instruction given by three music teachers spread over four school buildings is short and not inclusive. She supports reinstating an elementary band program and suggests an additional. music teacher be hired to instruct that program. Peterson Elementary teacher Nicole Sherman shared she is supportive of any program that would broaden the student's horizons. Young students are more confident and less terrified of peer approval than older ones. She thanked Mrs. Dano and. Mrs. Tallino for the great service they provide in spite of being stretched between schools. Parent Andria Anderson stood to say from personal experience with her daughter, seventh grade is too late to start an instrumental program. Children are more excited about instruments at a younger age and there are too many competitive elective choices in the middle school. She supports the reinstatement of a program in the sixth grade and hopefully, the fifth grade. Ray Krumrey of Old Harbor called in to say he agrees 100% to fund an elementary band program and advised the School Board to remember village students as they need the same access to the same kinds of programs. The following people consecutively stepped to the podium to voice their comments: Parent Brian Himmelblooin shared his musical history with Board Members and claimed the skills he learned from music instruction continues to benefit his microbiology profession and aided his ability to achieve a doctorate degree. He feels it is important to teach music to children as young as seven years old. He highly suggests the School Board find funding for the elementary band program and the community as a whole find funding from the State to enrich the arts. Director of Finance Dave Jones thanked those attending for their comments. He explained that people need to understand that addressing the School Board does not automatically raise revenue; it is controlled by State statute. Revenue can also be raised through the Borough by increased property taxes or through municipal revenue sharing. Mr. Jones urged the public to voice their concerns to the Borough Assembly and to our State legislators. Community member Ben Ardinger stood again to voice his concern of the music program being cancelled and then a football program started. Board President Elizabeth Odell clarified that the football program is not funded by the school district. Mr. Ardinger stated that we need sports programs but the point he is trying to get across is, if cuts are to be made, let another program suffer, not music. SCHOOL BOARD REGULAR MEETING March 26, 2007 Page 10 Kodiak .High School music teacher Dale Lhotka stepped to the podium to say he is overwhelmed with the show of community support for music. The current program is at a critical point with low participation numbers that continue to decline. It is not too late to revive the program and he sees the potential that a strong music program could have on . our community. Mr. Lhotka asked the Board to seriously consider how an inclusive music program can help give our students the highest quality education we can provide. The public hearing was closed and the regular meeting reconvened at 8:56 p.m.. Board held discussion: ROY BROWN thanked all of those who addressed the Board. Although he agreed with the budget explanation given by Director of Finance Dave Jones, he informed the listening audience that the Board does have the ability to redirect funds that are received. He is very encouraged at the support shown tonight as music is important. He cautioned everyone when approaching the School. Board in favor of an item not to make a contest between or an argument about the different items. Efforts should be joined together to ensure the best education for our children. PEGGY TUTTLE again urged the listening audience to contact Kodiak legislators as well as Anchorage, Mat -Su Valley and Fairbanks legislators. These are the base cities for the area cost differential formula and legislators there may not cast favorable votes because their districts would not receive funding. Kodiak needs 100% funding from the area cost differential. The music program is in crisis but so is District funding. We need parents to contact the legislators about the area cost differential and the Borough Assembly to fund to the cap. JEFF STEPHAN would like the administration to prepare two to three scenarios regarding what is needed for the music program; focus on band and /or choir, additional staff, elementary focus, and have that information available for the April 9, 2007, Work Session. ROY BROWN reminded the Board that Main Elementary Principal Marilyn Davidson had presented several music program options at the January budget meeting and suggested she provide that information again for the April 9, 2007, Work Session. NEW BUSINESS: 1. 2007/2008 Town Schools' Calendar - Public Hearing — This calendar has been modeled after the basic calendar the District has been following for many years and m.eets the requirements for days in session. SCHOOL BOARD REGULAR MEETING March 26, 2007 Page 11 MOTION NORM WOOTEN moved to approve the 2007/2008 Town Schools' Calendar as presented. ROY BROWN seconded the motion. At 9:09 p.m. the Regular Meeting was closed and a Public Hearing was opened. There being no public testimony, the Public Hearing was closed and the Regular Meeting reopened at 9:11 p.m. The Board held discussion: Board Member Peggy Tuttle spoke as a parent and she does not like how the winter break is broken out. She feels December 17 and 18 will have poor attendance and would like to see the three days of vacation (December 19-21, 2007) moved to the first week in January (January 2- 4, 2008). She suggested next year's town school calendar be looked at in regard to changing the end of the semester after the winter break. If school started three days earlier in August and the winter break vacation days moved to January we could probably end the semester before Christmas. Board Member Roy Brown recalls dealing with the semester break issue last year and it was decided at that time to have pilot classes /teachers try ending their semester early. He asked for an update on that process. Superintendent Walters stated there is no further comment from staff or families on the issue and added some districts in the State have ended their first semester before the winter break. Parent Mary DeLucia called to suggest that the winter break include the January 7 Russian Orthodox Christmas. Board Member Norm Wooten had no objection to changing the calendar so to serve the public but he did have a problem with changing it at the last minute. The calendar has been presented to the public and there have been no comments prior to the meeting. He is uncomfortable with changing the calendar without further opportunity for the public to comment. Community member Peggy Rauwolf stepped to the podium to say that August is not the best time for school to start due to good weather and many families still working set -net sites. She also feels the Russian Orthodox Christmas should be included in the calendar. Board President Elizabeth Odell shared her recent opportunity to speak with parents from the Anchorage area and found them very happy with the semester ending before Christmas. She added our students get stressed out by having to take final exams soon after the winter break. A roll call vote was taken on the motion. AYES — Norm Wooten, Roy Brown, Jeff Stephan, Elizabeth Odell; NAYES — Peggy Tuttle; SCHOOL BOARD REGULAR MEETING March 26, 2007 Page 12 MOTION PASSES 2. 2007/2008 Certificated Requests for Leaves of Absence — Administration has received four requests for certificated leaves of absence. MOTION JEFF STEPHAN moved to approve a second semester 2007/2008 certificated leave of absence for Kodiak High School teacher Heather Corriere and Main Elementary School teacher Catherine Allen - DeVries and a 2007/2008 full -year certificated leave of absence for Peterson Elementary School teacher Taryn.

In doing so, Community Partners are able to maximize the use of their marketing dollars and personnel to promote their community while ATIA conducts a national Alaska image /awareness campaign. ATIA raises the visitor industry's cash contribution by implementing cooperative marketing programs. In addition, ATIA obtains voluntary contributions from the cruise lines, chambers and Convention & Visitor Bureaus. ATIA then goes to the state to collect matching funds, thereby doubling the amount of funding for tourism marketing. ATIA creates an annual marketing plan for approval by the ATIA Board of Directors and Marketing Committee. Once approved, the marketing plan is implemented by staff on the industry's behalf and monitored for effectiveness. The graph below shows the source of funds for the Statewide Marketing Program and how contributions from CVB /DMOs compare to funding contributed by other industry partners. $11.0 $10.0 $9.0 $8.0 $7.0 $6.0 $5.0 $4.0 $3.0 $2.0 $1.0 $0.0 FY01 FY02 AlaskaTIA Marketing Budget (Millions) 0 State Contract 0 Cooperative Marketing ❑ Cruise Line Contribution ❑ CVB /DMO FY03 FY04 FY05 FY06 FY07 1 It is important for an organization such as the ATIA to determine the path it will travel into the future. For this reason, the ATIA board of directors has developed and embraces the following vision: "The ATIA will be the leading industry organization promoting Alaska as a top visitor destination, communicating and promoting the Alaskan tourism industry as one of the state's major economic forces, and will be the respected voice of the industry for the growth of the industry, while remaining attentive to care for the environment, recognition of cultures and Alaska's unique quality of life." ATIA Mission As ATIA strives to attain its vision for the Alaska visitor industry, the association undertakes the following: • To promote and facilitate travel to and throughout the state of Alaska • To provide a broad -based association of individuals and companies with an interest in Alaska's visitor industry • To encourage the increase and improvement of quality visitor facilities, services, and attractions throughout the state • To increase awareness of the economic importance of the visitor industry • To develop and implement programs beneficial to travel suppliers and consumers - programs that no single industry component or organization would be expected to carry out on its own • To initiate and cooperate with local, state, and federal entities in developing and implementing programs, policies, and legislation that are responsive to the needs of the industry and to intervene in those issues and initiatives that would directly affect the facilitation and promotion of travel to and within Alaska • To work cooperatively with the state on tourism development and long -range planning A critical element to the success of ATIA's cooperative marketing efforts is the relationship with our Community Partners. The partnership between Community Partners and ATIA is mutually beneficial. It is about developing connections. ATIA looks to Community Partners for information on key issues within their community and in return provides Community Partners with invaluable information and leads to ensure the growth of tourism in every community. This cooperative effort is effective in bringing visitors to Alaska and maximizing resources. In order to facilitate this partnership, ATIA takes specific steps to communicate with our Community Partners: • ATIA E -news — This electronic newsletter is distributed regularly throughout the year. Topics contained in the E -news include tips and trends for business development, updates on industry related issues and information with new member benefits and upcoming events • DMO briefings - Quarterly teleconferences are held and topics vary at each meeting. Communities provide updates on key issues within their communities and ATIA promotes new marketing opportunities, updates on existing programs, government relations issues and other issues that may impact the communities 2 ATIA implements many programs that Convention & Visitor Bureaus and member businesses are able to participate in for a fee. Money raised from these programs goes right back into funding other ATIA marketing efforts. Over the past five years, ATIA has nearly doubled the number of cooperative marketing programs it offers.

Q N a l- ATIA executes a statewide Cooperative Marketing program by pooling Association resources with those from other segments of the tourism industry. In doing so, Community Partners are able to maximize the use of their marketing dollars and personnel to promote their community while ATIA conducts a national Alaska image /awareness campaign. ATIA raises the visitor industry's cash contribution by implementing cooperative marketing programs. In addition, ATIA obtains voluntary contributions from the cruise lines, chambers and Convention & Visitor Bureaus. ATIA then goes to the state to collect matching funds, thereby doubling the amount of funding for tourism marketing. ATIA creates an annual marketing plan for approval by the ATIA Board of Directors and Marketing Committee. Once approved, the marketing plan is implemented by staff on the industry's behalf and monitored for effectiveness. The graph below shows the source of funds for the Statewide Marketing Program and how contributions from CVB /DMOs compare to funding contributed by other industry partners. 0 State Contract ED Cooperative Marketing ❑ Cruise Line Contribution ❑ CVB /DMO $8.0 $7.0 $O.81 $6.0 $5.0 $4.0 $3.0 $2.0 $1.0 -- $0.0 FY01 FY02 AlaskaTIA Marketing Budget (Millions) FY03 FY04 FY05 FY06 FY07 1 It is important for an organization such as the ATIA to determine the path it will travel into the future. For this reason, the ATIA board of directors has developed and embraces the following vision: "The ATIA will be the leading industry organization promoting Alaska as a top visitor destination, communicating and promoting the Alaskan tourism industry as one of the state's major economic forces, and will be the respected voice of the industry for the growth of the industry, while remaining attentive to care for the environment, recognition of cultures and Alaska's unique quality of life." ATIA Mission As ATIA strives to attain its vision for the Alaska visitor industry, the association undertakes the following: • To promote and facilitate travel to and throughout the state of Alaska • To provide a broad -based association of individuals and companies with an interest in Alaska's visitor industry • To encourage the increase and improvement of quality visitor facilities, services, and attractions throughout the state • To increase awareness of the economic importance of the visitor industry • To develop and implement programs beneficial to travel suppliers and consumers - programs that no single industry component or organization would be expected to carry out on its own • To initiate and cooperate with local, state, and federal entities in developing and implementing programs, policies, and legislation that are responsive to the needs of the industry and to intervene in those issues and initiatives that would directly affect the facilitation and promotion of travel to and within Alaska • To work cooperatively with the state on tourism development and long -range planning A critical element to the success of ATIA's cooperative marketing efforts is the relationship with our Community Partners. The partnership between Community Partners and ATIA is mutually beneficial. It is about developing connections. ATIA looks to Community Partners for information on key issues within their community and in return provides Community Partners with invaluable information and leads to ensure the growth of tourism in every community. This cooperative effort is effective in bringing visitors to Alaska and maximizing resources. In order to facilitate this partnership, ATIA takes specific steps to communicate with our Community Partners: • ATIA E -news — This electronic newsletter is distributed regularly throughout the year. Topics contained in the E -news include tips and trends for business development, updates on industry related issues and information with new member benefits and upcoming events • DMO briefings - Quarterly teleconferences are held and topics vary at each meeting. Communities provide updates on key issues within their communities and ATIA promotes new marketing opportunities, updates on existing programs, government relations issues and other issues that may impact the communities 2 ATIA implements many programs that Convention & Visitor Bureaus and member businesses are able to participate in for a fee. Money raised from these programs goes right back into funding other ATIA marketing efforts. Over the past five years, ATIA has nearly doubled the number of cooperative marketing programs it offers.
