MEMO TO: Mayor Selby, Assembly Members, and Manager Gifford
FROM: Nova Javier
DATE: June 22, 2006
SUBJECT: Spruce Cape Street - hlghts Petition
Ms. Mary Bonn, Spruce Cape Subdivision resident, submitted a petition for the formation of
the Spruce Cape Street Lights Service Area on March 28, 2006 to the Clerk's Office. Ms.
Nielsen responded to Ms. Bonn on May 16 noting the petition was insufficient in that the
Borough Code requires that all signatures be obtained within 60 days of submitting the
petition. The petition submitted contained signatures that were obtained from October 2005
through March 2006.
Ms. Bonn expressed a desire to attend a future work session to ask the Assembly to initiate
the formation of the service area instead of recirculating another petition. The providing of
any service within a service area requires an election.
Attached are copies of the petition submitted and the response from Ms. Nielsen with
pertinent code sections.

OFFICE of the BOROUGH CLERIC
710 Mill Bay Road
Kodiak, Alaska 99615
Phone (907) 486 -9310 Fax (907) 486 -9391
I have received your petition to initiate the Spruce Cape Street Light Service Area. I apologize for
our inability to be able to reach each other to discuss this on the phone.
The petition is insufficient in that Borough Code requires that all signatures be obtained within 60
days of submitting the petition. Your petition contains signatures that were obtained from October
2005 through March 2006.
I have enclosed a copy of KIBC 4.10 Services Within Service Areas and KIBC 4.05 Formation and
Modification of Service Areas for you information.
Please call me if I can be of assistance or answer any questions on this.
Very truly yours,
OFFICE OF THE BOROUGH CLERK

RESEARCH REGARDING NON - PROFIT FUNDING REQUESTED BY ASSEMBLYMEMBER ABELL
Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 9:35 AM
Subject: Non - profit funding
Hello,
I would like to know if your Borough /City provides funding to non-
profits.
The Kodiak Island Borough provides this type of funding to non - profit
organizations that deal with health and social services and education,
culture, and recreation.
We would like to get a sense if other communities are doing the same.
If you do, please let me know how much is appropriated.
Thank you in advance and have a great summer, Nova
RESPONSES
Lila Koplin, City of Cordova
Nova,
At this time, we do not.
Lila
Follow -up Email from Lila Koplin
Nova,
We do give our Chamber of Commerce $25,000 a year out of the
accommodations tax revenues. Last month we gave them an additional
$20,000 to cover new Cordova brochures and DVDs. They are considered
non- profit.
Cathy O'Rear, City of Petersburg
Hi Nova,
Petersburg provides funding for items similar to Kodiak. This year's
total "community services fund" has approximately $221,00.00
appropriated and next year's proposed budget is $314,800. Most of
these funds are the city's, but some are "pass- through" money from the
Feds.
We are providing funds to items such as: local museum, chamber of
commerce, grants to non-profits for tourism related projects; local
youth program, public heath nurse, local mental health service, an
alcohol and drug abuse program, hospital equipment, public radio and a
senior citizen nutrition program.
Cindy O'Daniel, Skagway
I have been asked by our City Clerk to provide you with information regarding any funding we
provide to non - profits. Here is a list of what was appropriated in our FY06 budget.
.01 Skagway Develpoment Corporation 80,000
.02 SCHOLARSHIP, Cy Coyne 700
.03 FINE ARTS 2,500
.04 SEN. CITIZEN 10,000
.06 LITTLE LEAGUE 3,000
.07 MENTAL HLTH 20,000

Christie Jamieson, City of Wrangell
Hi Nova: Yes, the City of Wrangell contributes funding to non - profits
each year. They may not be the same organizations each year, for
instance in our draft budget for FY 06/07, it is being proposed to fund
KSTK Radio Station, the Health Fair, and the Senior Citizen Program
this time around.
I hope this helps you. Take care, Christie Jamieson
Follow -up question
Hi Christie,
Thank you for the info. Is there an amount set each year or does it
change? How much do they appropriate.
Response
Nova, it varies each year for non - profits; this year KSTK - $3,000;
Health Fair - $3,000; and Senior Citizen Program - $10,780. All
requests are taken into consideration each year during the budget
process. We wished that we had more $$ to go around but you know how
that is. The Senior Citizen Program is used for fuel, tires, and other
shop expenses to main the senior van, help fund senior meals and just
the expenses incurred to the run the senior center.
I tried to reply to all emails but I received an error that the file
was too large so I just sent my reply to you; if you would be so kind
to forward my reply to everyone that would be great. Take care,
Christie Jamieson
Beth McEwen, City and Borough of Juneau
Hi Nova,
The City & Borough of Juneau Assembly does contribute funding to some
local non - profits, mostly through grant processes. The main Budget
pages with the breakdowns on these are online at
http: / /www.juneau.orq /financeftp /FY07 FY08ProposedBudgets /Mayor and Ass
e
mbly.pdf
Some of the funds come from specific taxes for those purposes such as
our tobacco and alcohol tax revenues going to our mental health and
social services grants. Our Assembly appointed a Social Services
Advisory Board of local citizens which does all the social service
grant review and awarding process. There is also an Assembly appointed
Youth Activities Board which also administers grants to local non-
profit agencies who have work with youth and have youth related
programs.
In addition to those two main grant boards, we also have some Marine
Passenger Fee funds that go towards tourism related or affected
projects in addition to some non - profits. The Assembly had in the past
given funds to local arts /theater type groups (Perseverance, Juneau
Jazz and Classics, and others) on an individual basis determined by the
Assembly Finance Committee. They recently change their process and have
assigned those funds and that grant review and issuance procedure to
the Juneau Arts & Humanities Council (JAHC), a local non - profit
performing arts sort of organizer /clearing house. There has been quite
a bit of contention by the other groups regarding this change as the
JAHC is not an Assembly appointed body but is a non - profit organization
in their own right with their own board of directors.
Finally there is a kind of a catch all group that don't really fit into
any of the above categories but that the Assembly does contribute and
make part of the annual budget, groups such as the 4th of July Festival
and Parade committees and the Sealaska Heritage Celebration group.
Hope this helps!
It was great to see you and many other of our fellow clerk types at
IIMC in Anaheim, have a great summer!!!
Beth McEwen, CMC
City & Borough of Juneau
Tina Ryman, City and Borough of Yakutat
Hi Nora,
We give 1% of sales tax revenue (comes to about $120,000) to the local
clinic, which is a non - profit. This year, we provided the Mt. Saint
Elias Tlingit Dancers (also non - profit) $5000 for services they
provide as representatives of the Yakutat Community. We also provide
$2000 yearly to Catholic Community Services...they provide the meal
service for our Seniors.
Cecilia (Tina) Ryman
Deputy Borough Clerk
Carol Colp, City of Fairbanks
Nova,
The City of Fairbanks administers a grant program through which
$270,000 of the yearly bed tax revenue is distributed to non - profit
organizations that promote tourism and /or economic development within
the City of Fairbanks. The grant application is available during a
specified time and a six person committee (which includes one council
member)appointed by the Mayor, and approved by the City Council,
reviews the applications and determines the awards on a yearly basis.
We also allocate $100,000 of the bed tax revenues to the Fairbanks
Economic Development Corporation, $30,000 to an organization which
maintains the Golden Heart Plaza, and the remaining revenues from bed
tax go to the Fairbanks Convention and Visitor Center (less 22.5
percent which is retained by the City to cover administration costs).
Carol Colp
City of Fairbanks
Harriett Edwards, Ketchikan Gateway Borough
Nova,
When I started at the Ketchikan Gateway Borough in 1997 the Assembly
was rather free with the money and provided grants to many non - profit
organizations that requested them from the arts council to the homeless
shelter. When the fiscal picture tightened up so did the purse strings.
The Assembly, for the current budget, is providing about $74,000 to the
Ketchikan Visitors Bureau. The revenue for this is all the transit
occupancy tax we collect. The Assembly also provides funding to
Catholic Community Services for paratransit services (this is a part of
our transit system) and pays one -half the salary for the coach for the
local swim club Ketchikan Killer Whales through the parks and
recreation department. The only "outside" grant given this year is a
one -time $20,000 to the Boys and Girls Club. The largess of the past is
not happening these days.
There has been talk, and I believe some groups in town are working on
developing an organization similar to United Way to be the recipient
and distributor of grants for local non - profits. This way the Assembly
is out of the loop on who gets what and how much. The current system of
receiving grant applications, deciding who should get what, etc., is
very stressful for everyone.
Harriett Edwards
Julie Cozzi, Haines Borough (See attachments)
I have attached several documents. The Haines Borough Assembly's
Finance Committee has developed specific criteria for community &
nonprofit groups to request funding each year during the budget
process. The request period is advertised each year in plenty of time
for the groups to meet the March 1st deadline. We also try to make it
clear that funding is not guaranteed.
Then, I review the requests as they come in to make sure they have met
the criteria, and I submit a summary to the manager. He decides what to
include in his recommended budget to the assembly. The assembly, as a
general rule, accepts his recommendations but sometimes makes an
adjustment.
Please let me know if you would like to know how these "grants" are
appropriated to different department budgets, and I will scan in the
pertinent budget pages for you.
Hope this helps. It seems to be working very well for us.

Trina Sanford, City of Soldotna
Hi Nova!
The City of Soldotna provides funding to non - profit organizations when
approached for money, which normally occurs at the Council meetings.
In our budget each year, we have a few funds available for contributing
money. We have a fund for economic development, grants /donations, and
mini - grants.
All depending on what they need the money for...
Hope this helps!
Sincerely,
Trina Sanford
City of Soldotna
Sheri Pierce, Valdez
Hi Nova,
The City of Valdez does fund non - profit agencies, however some agencies
such as the Visitors Bureau are funded by using our Bed -Tax revenue. We
also subsidize our museum and senior citizens center....so our total to
outside agencies is $659,655. We fund the following:
Advocates for Victims of Violence - $37,000 Valdez Arts Council -
$8,280 Valdez Visitors Bureau - $316,000 (we use bed -tax revenue to
partially
fund) Senior Citizens, Inc. - $93,500
Valdez Museum - $204,875
Total: $659,655
Jean Lewis, City of Seward
We provide funding to the museum ($4,000 this year), the senior
citizens ($10,000 this year), and the Chamber of Commerce ($119,800,
representing one -half of the 4% bed tax).
Hope that helps.

ASSEMBLY WORK SESSION
July 13, 2006
BOROUGH CONFERENCE ROOM
Present were Mayor Jerome Selby, Assemblymembers Tom Abell, Pat Branson, Sue Jeffrey, Reed
Oswalt, Mel Stephens, and Barbara Williams. Absent was Assemblymember Cecil Ranney. Staff
members present were Manager Rick Gifford, E &F Director Bud Cassidy, Finance Director Karl
short, Clerk Nova Javier, and Deputy Clerk Marylynn McFarland. The work session started at 7:30
p.m.
CITIZENS' COMMENTS
Peggy Tuttle speaking reference Woodland Acres Paving requests that they pave the entire area if
they are going to pave. She lives on Plover which is a newer street and would not need much prep
for paving but at the same time she would be paying for the prep in the other areas. Peggy does not
want to be put in the position of paying twice — for the main roads and then her road.
Bonnie Troth speaking reference Woodland Acres paving believes that 90% of the problem is with
the main roads. Sharatin is a bad road; it is dusty and is the main access for other areas. She is
asking that the Borough do something and not continually postpone.
Steve Bonn spoke on behalf of street lights for the Spruce Cape area. His main concern is the
safety of the children. More and more traffic coming through that residential area and they have no
bus shelters. Petition has been passed around and copies of petition are in packet.
Julie Coyle spoke regarding Woodland Acres Paving, asking the Borough to pave all the streets, if
they decide to pave. She would like to see it done and her opinion is that they will pay for it. They will
find a way. Julie also spoke about the Spruce Cape street lights in that she is a bus driver in that
area. She stated that it is so dark in that area that you can not see the kids and there is no bus
shelter for them at this time.
Heather Parker spoke as a resident of Woodland Acres. She lives on the main thoroughfare and
she and her husband support the paving of the road. There is the issue of the cost. but feels that
something needs to be done. Her home is also on a grinder pump.
Mike Pfeffer cannot afford to pay for the project with any of the three options. However, he would
like to see the project proceed. Entire cost of the project should not be the responsibility of the
homeowner.
Pegqy Tuttle felt preparation of the roads should come from alternative funding. Burden of funding
should be from the Borough.
ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION
1. Spruce Cape Street Lights Petition
Mary Bonn submitted a signed petition some time back and a letter from the Clerks office was sent
indicating that the signatures were not submitted in a timely manner. She was later informed that
rather than go through the petition procedure again, the Assembly could initiate an ordinance for a
special assessment district. Discussion continued as to how a service district or special assessment
district was formed. A street lighting district would be voted for, Bud would then work with KEA for
estimates. Borough would front money and residents would then be assessed a mil rate. Mary Bonn

reported that she had talked with KEA and that the color on the maps indicated where lights would
go; by the transformers. Further discussion included if undeveloped areas could be included in the
street lighting district. Problem would be that residents would be paying for the street lights for the
undeveloped area. It was suggested that work get started in order that the lighting district could be
on the October ballot. If it was voted for, the assessment would be made then. Williams and
Branson pointed out the importance of clarification of the process to the voters and that the
neighborhood be kept informed. Stephens questioned if it was a good idea to accept a petition that
was untimely. Also clarified that forming a service district was not a consent of approving capital
improvements. Direction was given to Gifford to draft an ordinance setting up Spruce Cape Lights
Service District.

There was conversation that before the next budget period categories of the nonprofits be deleted
and some nonprofits be omitted completely. Williams is not interested in funding the Health Care
Foundation at all. She understood, along with Oswalt, that future funding would not be needed.
Branson was in favor of increasing college funds, and Stephens challenged the authority of the
borough to legally fund some of the non - profit agencies. Selby noted that the Borough had area -
wide powers for parks and recreation.

PACKET REVIEW
PUBLIC HEARING
Ordinance No. FY2007 -02 Deter mining the Sale at Fair Market Value of a Tax Foreclosed
Property to Federal Government.
Tom Anderson, Borough Assessor, has done the appraisal and Fish and W ildlife found has found
the appraisal in line, and offered $20,000. Appropriate requirement of notices have been made at
the time of the land sale. Authorize the sale of this property.
Ordinance No. FY2007 -03 Amending Kodiak Island Bor ough Code of Ordinances Title 17
Zoning Chapters 17.03, 17.06, 17.12, 17.13, 17.15- 17.20, 17.22, and 17.57 for Transient
Accommodations.
After discussion with staff, it is suggested that further discussion and work take place with
Planning and Zoning. Ordinance w as found to be incomplete.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Resolution No. FY2007 -01 Authorizing the Paving of Roads in the Woodland Acres Paving
Assessment District.
Gifford understands that it is expensive and recognizes the three options previously given, and staff
has come up with a fourth option with estimates given. Discussion about contribution f rom service
district took place and Gifford thinks this is appropriate, sometimes using a formula on the amount of
work being done, etc. A reminder that the service districts have not budgeted or planned for this
paving.
Selby explained that government accounting standards require that management costs are required
to be charged. Area wide dollars for non -area wide expenses is prohibited by code. Gifford further
explained administrative fees to include assessment, setting up billings, collections and recording
liens. Project management expenses were explained as the costs of managing the project, possibly
hiring a project manager, testing, etc.
Lengthy discussions took place among the Assemblymembers and staff as to the different solutions
possible to the Borough and the residents in paving Woodland Acres including the idea of annexing
the area to the City, paving all roads, alternative paving methods, paving main thoroughfare, etc.
Stephens reported that he is inclined to vote against all alternatives because of the hardships that the
residents have reported. Stephens would like to see however, on the October ballot, whether
borough should adopt area wide road powers. Conversation took place on advantages and
disadvantages of area wide road powers versus service districts.
Mahoney Service Area No. 1 Chair spoke to the idea of service area assisting with funding however
the committee has not yet met. He sees it as workable but would need assistance from the Borough.
Drainage problem was again addressed in that it was a problem created by the Borough and should

be remedied at the Borough's ex pense.
Abell stated that the original figures quoted for the project were "out of whack and based on Trinity
Island project." The people agreed to pay $5,600 and if the Borough cannot do the job for that
amount, they needed to remedy the situation. Assemblymembers agreed to some extent that firm
figures were needed for residents to have a clear picture of options. However, Cassidy was
comfortable with his estimates as being close.
Arndt. Vice Chair for Service District One reiterated the expense of the project and that it would only
go up with time. Raising the mil rate would not generate enough funds for the project. Arndt also felt,
based on historical practices, the borough could f inance the project.
Manager Gifford was directed to reword resolution to go out to bid for strip paving.
