The Kodiak Branding and Marketing Committee (KBMC) is in the process of submitting a funding proposal to the Alaska Fisheries Marketing Board. The criteria, as set out in their July RFP, requires a one - to-one cash match and the KBMC is seeking funding from the Kodiak Island Borough to meet their specifications. If you require any additional Information, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you, Debora King Dedicated to Kodiak's Economic Future Background What is the Star of Kodiak? [SCI W in J U L 2 4 2006 BOROUGH CLERK'S OFFICE The Star of Kodiak is a community -based Quality Assurance Program for wild seafood products originating from the Kodiak Region. Currently, the Kodiak Branding and Marketing Committee (KBMC) is concentrating on marketing and promoting independent producers of value -added salmon products. The Kodiak Branding and Marketing Committee is a sub - committee of the Kodiak Chamber of Commerce Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Committee. It was formed in 2002 in response to plummeting salmon prices and the accompanying slump in the local economy. Modeled after the Copper River salmon success, the program seeks to improve quality through a certification program that is tied to the region, i.e. a piece of fish bearing the "Star of Kodiak" sticker means that it is top quality AND that it is authentic Kodiak seafood. Current Activities Last year a quality assurance program was developed and introduced with limited success to potential members. This year we are working with Chris Sannito, Wild Source, Inc. and Chuck Crappo from FITC to revamp the program to make it more "user- friendly" without sacrificing quality standards. Many opportunities to promote the Star of Kodiak were utilized last year. Dave Kaplan, through his film production company incorporated the Star of Kodiak into a number of film festival venues in Sweden, Florida and Minnesota. We recently participated in the ASMI sponsored cook -off in Anchorage as well as the local Taste of Kedia k -off held in early Jules The First Salmon of the Season Celebration held at the Comfort Inn was co- sponsored y tTie Star of Kodiak. The KBMC is working on updating our website to make it more user - friendly, and informative. Plans are underway to develop promotional and training materials for use by local vendors and restaurants. Future Activities Plans to further enhance the Star of Kodiak program include: • entering into agreements with local processor(s) to produce and inventory high quality selected salmon products • developing proactive marketing strategies and promotional packages to support sales • developing additional marketing materials for local, regional, and national promotional events • Promotion through Alaska Travel Industry — Taste of Alaska media events, food shows, film festivals • Underwriting of Alaska Fisheries Report broadcast on state -wide public radio • Educational outreach — presentations to culinary institutions, high -end restaurants on the differences in salmon species and the difference between wild and farmed salmon Proposed Budget Item Description Budget 1.

Powerful North Pacific currents sweep Alaska's vast coastline to converge in the bountiful waters surrounding Kodiak Island. Each summer, great schools of salmon follow these currents from their dee Pacific wintering grounds to Kodiak's eight hundred pristine rivers. The rugged men and women who fi5 these runs select only the finest and most robust fish for Star of Kodiak' wild salmon. They take pride in carefully handling each fish to meet today's rigorous market standards for quality. Star of Kodiak salmon offer a rare opportunity for a flavorful, healthy salmon fillet at an excellent value. If you're looking for a salmon that can do it all, look no further than Star of KodiakTM Coho Salmon. This wild, natural fish works well in the full range of retail and food - service applications, due to its size, consistent color and relatively high fat content. Combined with the quality measures now employed by Kodiak fishermen and processors, these natural attributes make Star of Kodiak cohos one of Alaska's most versatile salmon. With abundant natural harvests and unsurpassed product quality, Star of KodiakT"' Pink Salmon is one of the best new discoveries on the seafood market today. Its delicate flavor and light pink color makes it the perfect solution for markets where mild fish is preferred. Unlike larger salmon species, pink salmon provide uniform fillet thickness and natural portion sizing that works beautifully anywhere, from upscale restaurant preparations to home cooked meals.

STAR OF KODIAK Wild Alaska Salmon July 10, 2006 Kodiak Island Borough Attention: Jerome Selby, Mayor 710 Mill Bay Road Kodiak, AK 99615 Dear Mayor Selby: Your organization has been so generous to the community in the past. We hope you will consider this community need for your future plans. A solarium — can you imagine the joy and peace the residents at our local Intermediate Care Unit would experience basking in the sun any time of year. The solarium would be built onto the present building, and would face the ocean next to a busy street where residents would be able to enjoy television, listen to music, and watch activities on the ocean such as fishing boats, ships, and ferries, or even traffic along the street. Over the past five years, I have secured technical drawings and permission and raised $32,484. We need to raise approximately $75,000 to bring this private, much needed project to fruition. We have a perfect spot at the hospital that will not hinder any future expansion and will only enhance the lives of residents for many years to come. The Intermediate Care Unit at the hospital has room for 19 patients who are currently eating in a dining room with no window access. These same patients are crowded into a very small space to watch television and do other activities. The residence rooms are mostly for two patients and have been filled with a waiting list for several years. If you are able to give to this private community project, an account has been set up at First National Bank or checks may be made out to the Solarium Fund and sent to our address If you know of others who may be interested in donating to this project, please pass this information onto them. If you know of any grants or organizations I should contact or if you have any questions, please contact me at 907 -486- 4183. Thank you for your support. Sincerely ,9 4 ren D. Halter, D.O.

Halter, D.O. 104 Center Street, Suite 100 Kodiak, Alaska 99615 RECEgyE JUL 2 4 2006 BOROUGH CLERK'S OFFICE Thank you for allowing this project to be discussed on your Thursday, July 27th agenda. A copy of the January 23, 2006, Kodiak Daily Mirror article is attached for further information. The Kodiak Hospital Auxiliary has applied for a Rasmuson Foundation Tier 1 Grant for $25,000 and matching funds from you might help with their approval as well as move the project further along and more quickly. We have attached a copy of the grant application cover sheet and narrative to provide more details. The Foundation is waiting for us to reapply with additional data. According to Marya Nault, Betty Springhill's daughter, it was in approximately 1990 that her mother started talking about a solarium to bring more quality of life to the ICF residents. Everyone associated with this project has donated their time, materials, and costs with Dr. Halter bearing the largest portion, and his continual discussions with all whom he comes into contact has kept it alive. In 2005, we lost some momentum when a benefactor's estate decided not to contribute a large amount, but our enthusiasm has been buoyed by the Lion's Club and all the individuals who have answered our individual letters by contributing funds since. We hope to have a written estimate from Mr. Knowles in time for your Thursday meeting. The costs have increased so significantly in the past two years it has been difficult to state any figures with certainty for very long When I first became involved, the cost was $50,000 and now ifs more like $150,000. The Ardinger family is willing to contribute the indoor /outdoor carpeting and possibly we can have people donate furniture with plaques and the name of their loved one on each item. The beauty of the project is it will not interfere with any master plans and has had positive response from Don Rush, CEO and Bud Cassidy, Borough Engineer. If you are aware of any grants that would be applicable to such a project, please let us know and we will do what it takes to apply. We are not experts at any of this process, but are willing to do what it takes to bring a bit of sunshine into the lives of those people who are living out the rest of their time in a dreary and almost windowless environment. Solarium project hopes to come to Tight this spring By KRISTEN INBODY Mirror Writer The 19 residents in the Inter- mediate Care Unit at Providence Kodiak Island Medical Center spend their days in a world with- out sunshine, Dr. Loren Halter said. They eat in a windowless din- ing room, crowd into a small area to watch television and double -up in their rooms since the waiting list is so long to get into the facil- ity at the hospital. "They don't see anything," Hal - tPr said.

Other community groups, memorials and individual contributions also con- tributed several thousand for the project. Halter hopes to see work on the solarium begin in May. It will be built on an empty 23 -by- 27 foot slab of concrete already at the hos- pital. Ken Knowles is slated to build it. "We're trying to do it on a bare budget," he said.. The solarium was the dream of SOLARIUM SITE — A proposed solarium for the ' hospital's Intermediate Care Unit would be built this spring at an adjoin: ing section of the building, shown here. Organizers hope tci raise $45,000 this spring to fund the addition. (Photo courtesy of Loren Halteri hospital advisory board member Betty Springfield, who died in 1997. Halter said he has lived in Ko- diak for 27 years and the project so far has been "talk, talk, talk." He's worked on the project for two years, much of it spent in a lengthy, frustrating process to get borough approval to add to the hospital, which the borough owns. "We want to get it going," he said. Mirror writer Kristen Inbody may be reached via e-mail at kinbody @ kodiakdail ymirror. con.

There are approximately 20 active members. Services provided: The mission of the Kodiak Hospital Auxiliary is to develop and maintain educational and other support programs to preserve and enhance our mission to communicate and support the ongoing identified needs of the Kodiak Island Borough's hospital and the communities it serves. The services we currently provide include presentations and speakers for our member meetings, social events for our members and the community, appreciation events for Kodiak Island Borough's hospital staff, annual scholarship award to two college students, donations for extras needed at PKIMC, and fund- raising events to help pay for our activities. The extras we provide to PKIMC include: aprons for residents at the Care Center wing of PKIMC, birthday gifts for Care Center patients, flowers for dinner tables in the Care Center, disposable cameras for new parents in the PKIMC maternity ward, subscriptions to children's magazines for the PKIMC waiting room, big screen television for the Care Center, new furniture for the PKIMC waiting room, and specialty pediatric equipment for PKIMC Physical Therapy Department. Geographical area served: The city and borough of Kodiak are located on Kodiak Island an area 3,588 square miles along with six Native villages who also have residents in the Care Center and who use the services of PKIMC. Number of beneficiaries: The current Island population is approximately 15,000 people. Over the life of the building, the benefit would cover generations to come. Description of project: A solarium — can you imagine the joy and peace the residents at our local PKIMC Intermediate Care Unit would experience basking in the sun any time of year. The solarium would be built onto the present building, and would face the ocean next to a busy street where residents would be able to enjoy television, listen to music, and watch activities on the ocean such as fishing boats, ships, and ferries, or even traffic along the street. The structure would be 23' by 27' and would be heated. Pictures and technical drawings to follow. Identify need for project: The Intermediate Care Unit at the Kodiak Island hospital is the only full -time 24 -hour intermediate care unit here in Kodiak. It has room for 19 patients who are currently eating in a dining room with no window access. These same patients are crowded into a very small space to watch television and do other activities. The residence rooms are mostly for two patients and have been filled with a waiting list for several years. Current status: On April 21, 2006 we met with Bud Cassidy, Kodiak Island Borough Engineer, Stan Thompson, Director of Maintenance for Providence Kodiak Island Medical Center, and Ken Knowles, general contractor viewing the two possible sites at the hospital. Mr. Cassidy will research code compliance. The structure would be 24 feet by 16 feet, free - standing and not attached to the hospital so it will not hinder any future expansion at the hospital. Kodiak Hospital Auxiliary Narrative Page 2 Timeline for implementation: Based on funds collected, we would like to begin construction as soon as possible with a three -month completion time frame. Project total cost: $90- 100,000 Itemized list of specific project items and costs: Technical drawings, more specific construction information, and an actual construction bid will be provided shortly by Mr. Ken Knowles, a Kodiak general contractor. The amount requested from Rasmuson Foundation: The amount we are requesting is the maximum under the Tier 1 application of $25,000. Sources and amounts of any project funds raised to date or pending and how the organization anticipates raising the balance: The Kodiak Lions Club has generously pledged $25,000, Kodiak Area Native Association has donated $1500, and local memorials have been given to date for a total of $32,000. We have done two solicitations by mail funded by Dr. Loren Halter to 80 organizations /individuals and plan to continue solicitations by mail. Dr. Loren Halter, spouse of our Board Secretary, has done much personal campaigning over the past four years and will continue to do so as he interacts with the community daily.
