Page 2 of 2 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SPECIALIST ANNUAL REPORT Kodiak Island Borough May 21, 2009 Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS): Each year the CEDS document is updated and reviewed by the CEDS Committee. Once the resolutions are received from the City of Kodiak, Kodiak Island Borough and Kodiak Chamber of Commerce the updated document will be forwarded to US Dept of Commerce EDA. In order for communities to receive federal funding, they are required to include their Capital Improvements Projects list in the CEDS. The Chamber continues to host quarterly CEDS committee meetings. Two CEDS meetings in the past year were held in conjunction with the Rural Leadership Forum. The forum allows the committee to get feedback from approximately 30 representatives of the rural communities. Our most recent topics of discussion included Fuel Cooperatives, Spruce Island Development Corporation, and Dr. Quentin Fong from FITC (UAF). Kodiak.org Website Revision — The revision to the kodiak.org website is complete. The Chamber and the Kodiak Island Convention and Visitors Bureau worked together to update the website and incorporate some new web designs. Southwest Alaska Municipal Conference: Deb King has served on the Southwest Alaska Municipal Conference (SWAMC) board of directors for the past 8 years. Trevor Brown was recently voted in to be her successor. The staff, in conjunction with Northern Economics, has completed the Seafood Harvesting Labor Data Project. The project is designed to develop a 5- year database of seafood harvesting labor data for state and federal waters. Future projects include the Southwest Alaska Rural Energy Project, Project for Environmental Preservation in Southwest Alaska, and Seafood Supply Chain Analysis. Kodiak Branding and Marketing Committee: Work continues with the Kodiak Branding and Marketing Committee and the "Star of Kodiak" Quality Assurance Program. We received funding from the Alaska Fisheries Marketing Board and the Kodiak Island Borough in 2006 to continue the program. The Star of Kodiak video produced by Kodiak Resource Development has been used to promote the program and Kodiak wild salmon at numerous events. Last spring the Star of Kodiak events include Bill Barker's educational tour of the upper Midwest and sending a delegation to a meeting of the food purchasers of Casinos in the Pacific Northwest. In June the Chamber will be attending the Global Food Alaska show in Soldotna. The Star of Kodiak purchased two booths at this show to showcase members products. Retail Meetings: The Chamber has held approximately 6 meetings with local retailers over the past year. From these meetings we instituted a shop local campaign. The highlight of the campaign was the Sales Tax Free Day. Questionnaires sent to retailers after the event were very positive. The City of Kodiak has designated the first Saturday in March Sales Tax Free Day. Comfish Committee: I have attended a number of Comfish Committee meetings over the past year. This year's event was held at a new venue and feedback from businesses, fishermen and Comfish Committee: I have attended a number of Comfish Committee meetings over the past year. This year's event was held at a new venue and feedback from businesses, fishermen and the general public were all very positive. The committee is tasked with finding ways to make the event more relevant to the needs of today's fishermen and become break -even at the same time. Kodiak College Advisory Council: Deb King continues to participate as the president of the Kodiak College Local Advisory Council, which meets on a monthly basis. The Local Advisory Council participated in the development of the College Facilities Master Plan, Showcase for Excellence and Commencement. Input from the group helps shape the focus and strategy of the College. Kodiak Fisheries Advisory Committee: I have facilitated 20 meetings of the Kodiak Fisheries Advisory Committee, a joint committee of the City of Kodiak and Kodiak Island Borough. The committee is made up of 18 appointed seats from all sectors of the fishing fleet and local community. The committee discusses issues facing the fisheries and possible effects they may have on the community. Since it was created two years ago the committee has forwarded draft resolutions on the need for a labor database for crewmen, a resolution urging crewmen be included in the NPFMC BSAI Crab discussions, and a resolution asking for federal funding of the observer program. In addition to these resolutions the committee has also sent requests for letters of support for a number of issues that support our local fisheries. The committee is currently working on a joint fisheries policy for the city and borough and has created a king salmon sub - committee to specifically look at issues that may arise from lower king salmon returns on the island. The committee is a valuable venue for the exchange of information and ideas between the different sectors of Kodiak's fishing community. 400.0 - 3so.o 300.0 Commercial Seafood Harvest Value & Volume Port of Kodiak 1990 - 2007 � w � —� 250.0 �� - -..■ 200.0 150.0 "" Total lbs.

The 2007 ex- vessel value of all fish coming into Kodiak was $134.3 million, up from $106.2 million in 2006, and volume in 2007 was 319.1 million pounds, down from 380.9 million pounds the year before. Prices overall for 2009 look to be declining. This is mainly due to the world wide financial crisis and the strengthening of the US dollar. Some species such as cod, halibut and rockfish seem to be hit hardest by this down -turn. Some species such as sabelfish (Black cod) have actually gone up in price due to niche markets with less volatility. Outlooks for salmon are currently fair to good, but most fishermen are waiting for the openers to see what that price will be. EMPLOYMENT Kodiak's average annual unemployment rate in 2008 increased to 7.0% from 6.1% reported in 2007. The average number of jobs increased from 5782 to 5899 in 2008 and the size of the active work force increased to 6340 from 6158 in 2007. The unemployment rates for 2008 went from a low of 4.7% in August to a high of 12.3 % during December. The higher unemployment rate for 2008 can be attributed to more people seeking work since the actual number of jobs increased. The wide fluctuations in employment continue to be a challenge for the community though. Kodiak Island Borough Monthly Employment Trends January 1999 to March 2009 Employed - - - -12 Month Average Unemployed Cost of Living Several studies exist for the purpose of comparing the cost of living between cities in Alaska and around the country. Because of differences in methodologies used to determine cost of living statistics, each survey shows a different result when comparing costs between locations. 150 140 130 120 110 100 90 80 126.2 125.4 Comparative Cost of Living 1st Qtr 2009 ACCRA Survey 134.2 129.4 100 Kodiak Anchorage Fairbanks Juneau Nat'l Ave. In the American Chamber of Commerce Researchers Association (ACCRA) cost of living study, a standardized list of 58 items is priced during a fixed period of time. The average price data for each reporting city is then converted into an index number which is used for comparative purposes. The data compares approximately 300 urban areas. It does not take into account local tax burden or income levels, and is only intended as a comparison of prices relative to a national average. Four Alaskan cities are included in the most recently published ACCRA study: Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, and Kodiak.

Population has remained virtually steady since 1997 when the estimated population was 13,648. BANK DEPOSITS Bank deposits were down slightly in 2008 at approximately $139 million, down $2million from 2007. This includes deposits from Kodiak's three commercial banks. Because this is a "snapshot" taken on June 30th of each year, it may not accurately reflect the economic situation brought about by the variability of the different fishing seasons.

Achievements 2008 -2009 KODIAK Island Convention Hs visitor. Bureau Kodiak Island Convention & Visitors Bureau 2010 Budget Presentation and Report to the Kodiak Island Borough May 21, 2009 Our Mission: The purpose of the Kodiak Island Convention & Visitors Bureau shall be to promote sustainable development of the tourism industry throughout the Kodiak Island Borough, thereby increasing economic opportunities, jobs, and local tax revenues. The Bureau encourages travel by the public to and through the Kodiak Island Borough and maintains a continuing interest in the well -being of visitors to the area. • Completed launch of new website, which went live the first of year. We have been getting very positive feedback on the new site, which includes enhanced coverage of all aspects of Kodiak. Special attention has been given to the villages, family travel, winter travel and recreational opportunities as well as eco- tourism such as kayaking, hiking, birding and wildlife viewing. The KICVB DVD can be played from the website and the visitor guide can be downloaded from the site, which has reduced the amount of bulk mailings and postage expenses. This year we will be able to print fewer of the visitor guides because of increased use of the internet and a public that is becoming more and more conscious of conserving natural resources. The website is a dynamic tool and will continue to evolve in response to suggestions. • Completed the 2009 Visitor Guide. • Developed mini - brochures specific to shopping, lodging, and activities in Kodiak. • Conducted a member survey to hear concerns and ideas from the membership. • Coordinated a new fundraising event for the KICVB, the Chocolate Lover's Fling and Art Auction. Approximately 100 people attended the first year and public response was very positive. • Developed new proprietary products for the visitor information center. This year we have new lapel pins, magnets, and several new postcards. These products are sold in the visitor center both retail and wholesale to our members who resell it at their businesses. Creates another small income stream for the KICVB and our member businesses. Many of our members, including boat charters, B &BS, and retail shops purchase our products for resale and are excited to have that opportunity. • Improved the interior look of the visitor center by adding fixtures, framing pictures and generally updating and upgrading displays. • Hosted a public forum on cruise ship traffic to Kodiak. Compiled data collected at that meeting and from surveys submitted and reported to the borough and city. • Hosted workshop on trends in tourism for the coming year, reviewed state predictions for decrease in tourism and how local businesses could weather the downturn in economy. • Hosted a workshop on marketing in tough economic times. • Partnered with the Chamber of Commerce to meet with officials from Alaska Airlines to make improvements to the airport terminal. The terminal has a new coat of paint on the inside and we continue to work with officials to beautify the facility. • Developed new membership levels and sponsorships to assist the KICVB in increased earned income. • Continued regular publication of "Bear Tracks," the informational newsletter published by KICVB. It is now consistently emailed each month to KICVB membership, government officials and interested parties. In addition to "Bear Tracks" there is regular communication with membership regarding legislative action that directly impacts tourism in the state of Alaska and Kodiak. Opportunities for advertising and other promotional opportunities are sent periodically as well. • Worked closely in an advisory capacity with KICVB member Fran Kelso and Jack Johnson to develop the BearTown Market, a public market that will be held on cruise ship days beginning June 5. • Provided hospitality services to 16 cruise ships that called on Kodiak in 2008. This service includes aboard -ship information tables where the visitor guide and local maps are distributed, staffing the visitor center desk with full - time staff and volunteers, welcoming and directing passengers as they exit the ship onto Pier 2, referring passengers to local businesses and services. • Created performance opportunities and revenue for nonprofit organizations in conjunction with cruise ship visits. • Brainstormed with member businesses for ways to increase revenues and store traffic. • Mailed 8,000 visitor guides worldwide from the visitor center and distributed thousands more through the statewide affiliations with other convention and visitor bureaus and agencies as well as Ted Stevens International Airport. • Attended the 2009 Great Alaskan Sportsman's Show in Anchorage. This classic sports show remains good for Kodiak and there is always great interest from the Anchorage area in visiting Kodiak. This year the most common question was related to deer hunting. • Attended the 2009 Adventures in Travel Expo in Chicago, Illinois. This was a new show for the KICVB and it was an effort to not only reach out to the Midwest market, but also to participate in a show that emphasizes adventure travel and eco- tourism. The Board plans to attend this show again in 2010 to continue pursuing that market. • Attended the Alaska Media Road Show in Santa Barbara, California. This show is sponsored by the Alaska Travel Industry Association, which coordinates appointments with 25 journalists, photographers and filmmakers who are interested in writing about Kodiak. We have had four writers follow up with articles about Kodiak and/or have visits currently booked. This is a really valuable show and plans are to attend again in 2010. Writers are rotated through each year so there will be 25 different contacts made this year. • Maintained presence with state legislature through testimony before Senate subcommittees relevant to statewide tourism budget. Maintained partnership with the Alaska Travel Industry Association. • Served on the Southwest Alaska Municipal Conference Marketing Committee to develop marketing strategy, tagline and logo for Southwest Alaska. • Served as a representative on the Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors.

In that meeting, Mayor Selby asked what the current fund balance picture looked like, and what fund balance would look like for year ending June 30, 2009. The District's detailed fund balance for fiscal years 2008 and 2007 are listed below. Over the past couple years, the District has made a concerted effort to build its unreserved - undesignated fund balance as this is the only amount of fund balance that can be used for unanticipated shortfalls and uses. With an operating budget of $41 million, the District's unreserved - undesignated portion of $722,512 is, by most standards, insufficient. Based on current projections, the District anticipates building upon present levels to reach a healthier reserve. At this point, the District is not prepared to supplement the FY2010 budget with unreserved, undesignated fund balance. 2008 2007 Fund balance: Reserved: Encumbrances 224,915 106,322 Inventories 386,188 312,011 Unreserved: Designated: Compensated absences 258,710 211,503 Subsequent year expenditures 683,071 304,431 Undesignated 722,512 467,340 Total fund balances 2,275,396 1,401,607 In response to Assembly Member Branson's question, the District will be receiving $522,337 of additional funding in FY 2010. With this increase, the District will be funded at 62.5% of the multiplier proposed by the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER). While funding for this multiplier is expected to increase over the next five years, the District will continue to face economic challenges in the interim. TITLE: KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH AGENDA STATEMENT MAY 21, 2009 REGULAR MEETING ITEM NO: 9.B Ordinance No. FY2009 -20 Rezoning Lot 7, Block 11, Ouzinkie Townsite Subdivision From R1- Single Family Residential To B- Business (P&Z Case 09 -014.) SUMMARY: The Ouzinkie Native Corporation has requested the rezone of Lot 7, Block 11, Ouzinkie Townsite Subdivision in order to allow for the re- development of the site with newer office and storage buildings to support the continuation of the uses at this location. The uses and structures have been nonconforming at least since June 5, 1980, perhaps even going back to 1977 when all land within the corporate limits of the City of Ouzinkie were zoned R1- Single Family Residential. The applicable comprehensive plan goals and objectives speak to the need for economic diversity in the community. While a larger scope of zoning review is suggested by this investigation, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends the approval with the understanding that a community wide zoning review will be investigated in the future. Several goals in the plan discuss the need to maintain good communication between the City of Ouzinkie, the Kodiak Island Borough, and other native corporation and tribal entities. Engaging the community on a future city wide zoning review can help to address these goals. The existing structures and uses on Lot 7 have contributed to the Ouzinkie community over the years and it appears that a continuation of these uses is warranted, albeit this continuation will require substantial re- investment on the site. The B- Business district will remove any stigma of the current nonconforming zoning status and encourage the re- development as proposed by the Ouzinkie Native Corporation. After holding a public meeting on March 18, 2009, the Commission unanimously approved recommending to the Borough Assembly that Lot 7, Block 11 be rezoned from R1- Single - Family Residential to B- Business. 34 public hearing notices were mailed out on May 8, 2009 and responses will be provided to the Assembly at the public hearing.

Findings as to the Need and Justification for a Change or Amendment. 46 The land owner, Ouzinkie Native Corporation, needs this rezone in order to re- develop a 47 property that has historically been used for commercial and office use for many years. The 48 buildings and use have been nonconforming for many years and this requested change of 49 zoning will provide the encouragement to redevelop the site in a manner that allows the Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska Ordinance No. FY2009 -20 Page 1 of 2 50 continued contributions of this site for the benefit of the larger community. The rezone request 51 suggests the need for further investigation which is beyond the scope of this immediate review. 52 53 17.72.020 B. Findings as to the Effect a Change or Amendment would have on the Objectives 54 of the Comprehensive Plan. 55 The Comprehensive Plan mentions the need and desire for economic diversity and economic 56 opportunity in the community. It also speaks to the need to maintain good two -way 57 communication between the Kodiak Island Borough and the City of Ouzinkie. This need also 58 applies to the related native corporations and tribal councils serving the community as well. The 59 rezone will eliminate certain zoning nonconformities that have pre- existed on the rezone site for 60 many years and will encourage the kind of re- development that is consistent with past use and 61 which has served the best interests of the Ouzinkie community for many years. 62 63 64 ADOPTED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH 65 THIS DAY OF 2009 66 67 68 KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH 69 70 71 72 Jerome M.

Listed below are Ouzinkie Native Corporation's (ONC) plans to replace its aging office /store building with a modem, energy efficient facility in Ouzinkie: 1. Demolish the warehouse. 2. Construct a new 2 -story office/store building on the old warehouse site. 3. Demolish the existing office/store building when the replacement office/store building is built. When the currently existing office/store building is demolished, additional parking area will be created. Also, there will be vacant space for future expansion if the need arises. Lot 7, Block 11, Tract A, USS 4871 (please see attachments), on which the present store /office building and the warehouse are located, is currently zoned Residential. ONC understands that before it can proceed with its plans outlined above, Lot 7 needs to be re-zoned to Commercial. We also understand that may be possible to build out to the lot boundaries, due to a grandfather clause. Otherwise the new building's "footprint" would be significantly smaller that our needs if setback requirements apply. ONC respectfully requests the Kodiak Island Borough Planning & Zoning Commission to re-zone the referenced lot, so that its building plans can proceed. Thanks and best regards, Michael G.

Currently, the site is zoned R1- Single - family Residential and has been zoned that way since 1977 when the KIB Assembly rezoned the land within all incorporated communities to the R1 designation. The buildings and uses on Lot 7, Block 11, Ouzinkie Townsite have been grandfathered as nonconforming since that time. Since the buildings on the site became nonconforming they have been maintained "as is" by the owners. These facilities, however, have reached the full extent of their economic usefulness and must now be re- constructed rather than maintained "as -is ". According to the January 2008 Kodiak Island Borough Regional Comprehensive Plan Update this area is designated for commercial use and development. The B- Business zoning district is intended as a zone specifically for commercial uses but which does permit some limited residential and institutional uses that will not interfere with the permitted commercial use CONFORMANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Case 09- 014 /Staff Report Public Hearing Item VI -A The Kodiak Island Borough Regional Comprehensive Plan Update, January 2008, identifies this area and the area around it for commercial development. While the plan identifies a great deal of area for commercial use, staff believes that some of this area might more appropriately be zoned for "mixed use" in UNC -Urban Neighborhood Commercial or RB- Retail Business, particularly in areas abutting designated residential areas. The proposed rezone site however is located close to the waterfront and rather isolated from residential areas. The plan has several goals that talk about diversified economic development in the community. In addition, there were several goals and objectives that talked about improving the manner in which the borough interacts with the community on a range of issues, presumably including how the borough regulates land use and zoning. This rezoning process, therefore, is an opportunity to work with the community to create some beneficial two -way communication. Although this case alone may not justify a meeting in the community, the Commission and staff should be sensitive to the idea of ensuring the people of Ouzinkie are fully and meaningfully included in the process. Staff did not see many other relevant goals and objectives relating to housing, transportation, recreation, etc. It should be noted for the record that the site has been developed for and used for commercial purposes for many years so that the requested rezone is in keeping with the existing land use pattern even though the current zoning did not support those uses. The rezone would have the benefit of moving the existing structures and uses out of the nonconforming category and allow the property to be redeveloped over time in a fashion very similar to what is already there. Page 6 of 7 P & Z: March 18, 2009 FINDINGS OF FACT Case 09- 014 /Staff Report RECOMMENDATION APPROPRIATE MOTION Public Hearing Item VI -A It should be noted that staff was unable to make a site visit in this case and therefore was not able to investigate this case as thoroughly as other cases here on the Kodiak Road System. A suggestion for future consideration would be to initiate a community wide rezone to investigate existing and desire land use patterns in the community and to apply the full range of recommendations in the adopted comprehensive plan along with community wide involvement. That would go far beyond the scope of this request, but might be helpful for the future so that Ouzinkie residents don't need to request a rezone every time a new development proposal comes along. Staff recommends that the Commission forward this rezone request to the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly with a recommendation for approval. Should the Commission agree with the staff recommendation, the appropriate motion is: Move to recommend that the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly approve the rezoning of Lot 7, Block 11, Ouzinkie Townsite Subdivision from R1- Single- family Residential to B- Business, and to adopt the "Findings of Fact" in the staff report dated March 4, 2009 in support of this recommendation. Section 17.72.020 states that the Commission shall incorporate the following criteria into their report to the Assembly: 17.72.020 A. Findings as to the Need and Justification for a Change or Amendment. The land owner, Ouzinkie Native Corporation, needs this rezone in order to redevelop a property that has historically been used for commercial and office use for many years. The buildings and use have been nonconforming for many years and this requested change of zoning will provide the encouragement to redevelop the site in a manner that allows the continued contributions of this site for the benefit of the larger community. The rezone request suggests the need for further investigation which is beyond the scope of this immediate review. 17.72.020 B. Findings as to the Effect a Change or Amendment would have on the Objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan mentions the need and desire for economic diversity and economic opportunity in the community. It also speaks to the need to maintain good two -way communication between the Kodiak Island Borough and the City of Ouzinkie. This need also applies to the related native corporations and tribal councils serving the community as well. The rezone will eliminate certain zoning nonconformities that have pre- existed on the rezone site for many years and will encourage the kind of re- development that is consistent with past use and which has served the best interests of the Ouzinkie community for many years. Page 7 of 7 P & Z: March 18, 2009 Page 2 January, 2008 Issues Common to Multiple, Outlying Communities The following issues were identified in Comprehensive Plan meetings in outlying communities. When prioritizing these issues, residents typically ranked many of them as high. 4 Land use planning flexibility. Residents indicated that zoning designations should be flexible enough to allow for a mix of uses within each Comprehensive Plan or zoning designation (e.g., home occupations or small commercial businesses in residential zones), while protecting adjacent land uses from impacts related to noise or other adverse effects of such uses. 4 Marine transportation facilities. All outlying communities off of the road system expressed a desire for dock improvements that would allow new or expanded ferry service. They also expressed the need for marine freight service, which recently was discontinued by the primary carrier for most communities. 1 Airstrip improvements. Improvements that will enhance passenger access and freight movements were identified by residents of outlying communities as important to their economic viability. (See Chapter 7 - Transportation for more information about this issue.) 1 School facilities. Meeting participants in most of the outlying communities identified a variety of improvements needed to their respective school facilities, such as seismic upgrades, repairs to prevent or repair damage from water leaks and /or mold damage, and new exterior painting. Residents in most communities also identified population shifts that impact school enrollments as an issue. 1 Other infrastructure needs. A variety of public facility needs in many outlying communities were identified, including improvements needed to solid waste facilities, sewer and water systems, electrical generation, and transportation facilities. 1 Fuel and energy costs. Residents in all communities cited the high cost of fuel and need to develop and use alternative or lower -cost sources, where possible and /or provide support to residents to help address these costs. ! Communication. The need for improved communication between the Borough and local governments, Tribal organizations, and community groups was identified as a high priority in all the community scoping meetings outside the City of Kodiak. Support for local communities. Residents in many communities, particularly those not on the road system, recommended that the Borough do a better job of identifying rural community needs and considering them in combination with Kodiak's urban area needs to ensure an equitable aproach to meeting Borough -wide needs. 1 Sport fishing, guiding and subsistence fishing and hunting. Community members noted the importance of ensuring that elected representatives understand the importance of sport and subsistence fishing, in addition to commercial fishing. There is a need for local registration areas to protect local hunters and guiding outfits. Individual fishing quotas (IFQ's) are a potential problem for the local tourism industry. Those regulations and limited entry requirements may impact local tour guides, charter boats, etc. Kodiakisland B OROUGH Comprehensive Plan Update Chapter Eleven 'A Local Communities I Demographic characteristics. Loss of young people in outlying cities and villages is a significant demographic issue that affects the future viability of those communities. 1 Teacher housing. The need for improved and better - maintained teacher housing was mentioned in all the Comprehensive Plan meetings in the outlying communities. The poor quality of the available housing was often cited as a reason why schools in those areas have difficulty retaining teachers. 1 Federal water treatment regulations. New federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) surface water treatment rules could have significant impacts on cities throughout the borough. New rules require a level of treatment that could result in very costly improvements to local water treatment facilities and systems. This could impact all cities in the Borough, including outlying communities with limited capacity to pay for and maintain such systems. ty of Kodiak The fo wing is a brief summary of existing conditions for the City of Kodiak.

Ouzinkie Existing Conditions History and CulturE 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 is ten air miles north of the City of Kodiak, and 247 air miles southwest of Anchorage. A community was founded in the early 1800's at present day Ouzinkie by the Russian American Company. Archaeological evidence indicates that indigenous people have lived on Spruce Island for thousands of years. The name, Ouzinkie, can be traced to an adaptation of "uzen'kii ", a Russian word meaning "rather narrow ".

Others have attributed the name to the word "Uzenkiy," meaning "village of Russians and Creoles," although not all local residents agree with this interpretation. The Royal Packing Company constructed a cannery in Ouzinkie in 1889. Other canneries followed, as well as a Russian Orthodox Church and a post office. The area was popular for cattle ranching in the early 1900's. The Ouzinkie Packing Company cannery was destroyed by the Good Friday earthquake and tsunami in 1964. The dock was later rebuilt, but not the cannery. The City of Ouzinkie was incorporated in 1967. The community of Ouzinkie and its people share a proud culture and heritage related to Russian contact. Several families in the village trace their family history back to Russian habitation, but ancestral indigenous family lineage also dates back to before contact with the Russians. Population and Housing The 2000 U. S. Census found a total of 225 people living in Ouzinkie, of whom 81% were of American Indian or Alaska Native (Al /AN) descent. The 2005 population estimate was 191, consisting of 87.6% Alaska Native or part Native. The 2000 Census showed 86 housing units in Ouzinkie, of which 74 were occupied and 12 vacant. This 14% vacancy rate was identical to the Borough -wide rate. Among the occupied units, 64 (86 %) were owner - occupied and the remaining 10 (14 %) renter - occupied. All but six housing units were detached, single - family homes; the remainder were attached units. The City's average household size of 3.04 persons was nearly identical to the Borough -wide average of 3.07. The vast majority of units (76 %) was built between 1970 and 1989. 16% of units were built between 1990 and 2000, and eight percent were built in 1939 or earlier. Residents report that the number of housing units is considered sufficient, but an increase in population could result in the need for more housing. A lack of available housing could limit the number of families and individuals that could move to the community. Residents support growth, particularly an increase in young people with families and a stable community. The wet climate will continue to create a need for ongoing maintenance of existing housing units. Residents recommend that when the housing authority comes into the village for new construction projects, new housing should be constructed in lots off the main road system with access roads to mitigate health issues contributed to dust. Local GovErnmEnt Ouzinkie is incorporated as a second -class city, and is governed by a seven - person City Council that includes the Mayor. In 2005, there was an average of 14 municipal employees (Department of Labor and Workforce Development). The City brings in a limited amount of revenue via a three percent sales tax. Most municipal funds come from service charges and other revenues. Kodialllllllllsland BOR Comprehensive Plan Update Chapter eleven ► local Communities The City of Ouzinkie provides or manages the following services: 1 Electricity 1 Water and sewer 1 Harbor improvements 4 Solid waste management The Ouzinkie Traditional Tribal Council is recognized by the Bureau of Indian Affairs as the community's official tribal governing body. As such, it is eligible to administer a variety of federal programs, including local health care, educational services, employment assistance and other social services. There are 560 tribal members, of whom about one -third reside in Ouzinkie. The Tribal Council has turned over its health care authority to the KANA. The Tribal Council consists of seven members, elected at -large according to an adopted constitution and bylaws. The Ouzinkie Tribal Council is the largest employer of permanent full -time, permanent part-time, and temporary part-time employees in the community. The Borough has not always effectively communicated its policies and commitments to Kodiak Island communities. There There is a need for an equitable formula to support unmet needs in KIB village communities within the scope of the Borough's nauthority and responsibility. Land Management and Use The Borough is responsible for all planning and zoning within the City of Ouzinkie and its important that they consult and communicate with village of Ouzinkie stakeholders when decisions that affect them are being made. The KIB Community Development Department prepared the 1984 Ouzinkie Comprehensive Development Plan, which describes the conditions that existed in the community at that time. It identifies local issues and establishes goals and objectives for the community. In the event that provisions of the 1984 plan related to land use or zoning conflict with this KIB Comprehensive Plan, the Borough -wide plan shall take precedence. At this time, only the KIB zoning district that applies in Ouzinkie is the R -2 zone. Current zoning designations are shown on Figure 11.5. A subsequent draft of this Plan will include a map of proposed future land use designations based in part on the results of Comprehensive Plan update meetings. The Ouzinkie Native Corporation owns the surface estate to 115,200 acres in and around the City of Ouzinkie on Spruce Island as well as land on Kodiak and Afognak Islands.. Existing commercial and industrial facilities are clustered around the municipal dock. These include a fuel tank, warehouse, store, and the village corporation offices, most of which were originally associated with the cannery operation. Other land uses include the Ouzinkie School, AT &T Alascom earth station, Baptist mission, Russian Orthodox Church, cemetery, community hall, city hall, fire protection and facilities associated with the City's water, sewer, and electrical systems. Chapter Eleven r, local Communities Kodiaklsland BOROUGH Comprehensive Plan Update Page 43 .3 January. 2008 Page 44 January. 2008 The current airport on the northern border of the village will have to be re -zoned after the completion of a new airport planned to be built one and a half miles farther north on the island. Locations will need to be considered for a new water tank, new cemetery, new residential areas and the need for a designated industrial area. The airport's current location limits the growth of the community. Without that limitation, the airport land and the land north of it will most likely receive different zoning designations. Residents have identified the need for additional development land that could serve future new housing or businesses. An expansion area located near the north end of the airstrip along the western shoreline has been identified as the most appropriate site for such expansion. Economy The 2000 U. S. Census showed that only 59% of the City's population age 16 and over was in the labor force. The median household income was $54,375. The Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development determined through a special rural labor market survey that 47% of the adults of Ouzinkie were unemployed as of March, 2004. The latest federally reported unemployment rates indicate an overall rate in the United States of 5.7% and in Alaska of 7.5 %. A City of Ouzinkie Municipal survey done in November 2004 adjusted the community's Low Moderate Income (LMI) level from 41.3% in the 2000 Census to 92% based on the change in household income indicating that 92% of Ouzinkie residents are considered Low Moderate Income households. Over the last two decades, Ouzinkie has seen the decline of a once - vibrant fishing economy. Factors contributing to this situation include changes in fisheries regulation (limited entry and individual quota systems), destruction of the waterfront by the 1964 earthquake and tsunami, loss of local fish processing facilities due to fire, and the high cost of fuel and other supplies. Employment in Ouzinkie is now primarily provided through government entities including the City of Ouzinkie, Ouzinkie Tribal Council, the Kodiak Island Borough School District, and the local U.S. Post Office. However, many of these jobs are relatively low paying with few if any benefits such as health insurance and retirement programs. Many positions are only part -time or seasonal. Most community residents survive through a mix of part-time and seasonal work combined with subsistence hunting, fishing and gathering. More opportunities for employment of young residents will be essential to retaining and creating a thriving community of people and families in Ouzinkie. No canneries have operated since the Ouzinkie Seafoods cannery burned down in 1976. In 2004, the Ouzinkie Tribal Council, Ouzinkie native Corporation and City of Ouzinkie established the Spruce Island Development Corporation (SIDCO). The SIDCO board of directors has 10 board members comprised of nine members from the three founding entities and one at -large community member. The purpose of SIDCO is to research and develop economic enterprises for the community of Ouzinkie. Kodiaklsland BOROUGH Comprehensive Plan Update Chapter Eleven local Communities Transportation and Public Facilities Improved transportation access is needed for Ouzinkie to diversify the local economy. The community is developing a transportation facilities plan that includes: a new rock - filled sheet pile dock, a new longer airstrip, a stuffy feasibility of a regional Alaska Marine Highway system for Kodiak Island, an access road to the boat harbor and improved local roads. The road system in Ouzinkie is limited to a few miles of gravel road and paths. There are some vehicles (less than 25 total) and approximately 20 -40 ATVs in the community. Ouzinkie is on an island and has no over -land access roads to the closest community, the City of Kodiak. There is a need and desire for more local roads. According to a recent transportation study for Ouzinkie and other communities, including local roads has the potential to offer the broadest benefit to local residents, the borough, state and federal governments, and will increase the collaboration for the funding opportunities. There also is significant need to mitigate dust from the roads that complicates respiratory diseases in the community in all age groups. The Lazy Bay, an intra- Kodiak Island marine cargo vessel, delivers freight on demand from Kodiak. Many community members transport their own freight in private vessels ranging from wooden skiffs to commercial fishing vessels. Island Air and Servant Air make scheduled passenger and mail trips to Ouzinkie utilizing a 2,500 -foot gravel runway, which is owned by the state and maintained by the City. Charter service between the City of Kodiak and Ouzinkie also is available. A lack of radar equipment makes air travel unreliable as weather conditions, such as fog, low clouds, and wind can ground all flights. The airstrip is not large enough to accommodate larger, freight cargo aircraft and there is no fuel available. There also is a float plane landing area at Ouzinkie harbor. Ouzinkie harbor facilities include a breakwater, a small boat harbor and dock. The current dock was built after the 1964 earthquake and is an old creosote piling platform dock that is becoming unsafe. The dock cannot accommodate larger vessels, such as the Alaska Marine Ferry system. Plans are being made for a new dock and bulkhead. The new dock would provide for greater passenger and freight access and lower rates. The Ouzinkie dock engineering design project was funded in 2006. The community is working to secure construction funds in 2007. The City -owned water system is supplied by a dam on Mahoona Lake and Katmai Creek. The water is treated and piped throughout the system, which serves 86 homes and commercial facilities. While recent upgrades to water storage and treatment systems provide adequate, ChaptEr EIEVEn . � Local Communities KodiakIsland BOROUGH Comprehensive Plan Update Page 45 .� January. 2008 Page 46 A January. 2008 high - quality water to residents, they report problems with distribution, including uneven water pressure, some minor leaks and the need for distribution to the harbor area. The City also owns and operates a piped sewage system, central septic treatment system and an outdated sludge disposal site. The sewage system is reported to be in relatively poor condition, with insufficient capacity. The sludge lagoon also is reportedly undersized and no longer capable of adequately treating sewage sludge. Refuse is collected twice a week by the City. The City's landfill is currently located near Eskimo Cove about a mile from the City center. The landfill reportedly is well- designed and maintained. A hazardous waste storage building also is located near the site for storage of hazardous materials. Waste is incinerated and residents are concerned that the landfill may become a safety hazard if incineration is not allowed in the future. There is significant community interest in developing a recycling program, specifically for aluminum cans. There are issues with hazardous waste and old cars located in other parts of the community. City of Ouzinkie provides the community electrical power produced by a hydroelectric turbine and four diesel powered generators, two of which were installed in 1999. Power available from the hydroelectric plant is a function of rainfall, supplemented by the storage capacity of Mahoona Lake. The water supply from Mahoona Lake is not adequate to meet all of the communities electrical power generation needs and therefore electrical power must be supplemented by use of diesel generators. Power outages are common. The City is interested in alternative energy and has begun to research the possibility of wind generation and the plausibility of using tidal changes in Narrow Straits on the west end of Spruce Island. The Kodiak Island Borough School District (KIBSD) operates the Ouzinkie School, which had an enrollment of 44 students in Kindergarten through 12th grade for the 2005 -06 academic year. The Borough -owned school building was constructed in 1972 and expanded in 1980. The Ouzinkie School is poised to receive substantial upgrades to the physical structures, including seismic retrofit and general maintenance procedures. The Ouzinkie Health Clinic is operated by the Kodiak Area Native Association. Funding sources for a needed expansion of the clinic are being explored. There is currently no Village Public Safety Officer. Parks and REcrEation A cleared area for a playing field is located next to the Ouzinkie School. Residents previously graded and leveled the field, but did not have the resources to complete improvements there. Support from other sources is needed to complete this facility. No other formal recreation facilities are located in Ouzinkie. EnvironmEntal Quality The City of Ouzinkie is located in a cove on Spruce Island, which lies north of Kodiak Island and KodiakIsland BOROUGH Comprehensive Plan Update Chapter Eleven liAl Local Communities east of Afognak Island. The island is characterized by swampy areas, volcanic rock and soils, and sedimentary rock, and an abundance of tall spruce trees. Other common plant species include bluejoint, beach and rye grasses, devil's club, ferns, salmonberry and high bush cranberry. Soils are relatively shallow, with significant muskeg cover, and poorly drained. Katmai Creek runs through the community. Several areas suffer from erosion, including the ridge along the west end of the airstrip, the area along the waterfront of Ouzinkie harbor, and the access road to the Ouzinkie bulk fuel facility. Ouzinkie and its surroundings are home to a wide variety of fish and wildlife species, which locals rely on for commercial fishing, subsistence hunting and fishing, and sport hunting /fishing. Most of Ouzinkie's commercial fishermen are in the salmon fishery, but herring and crab are also popular." Several threatened and /or endangered species are found in Ouzinkie. While bald eagles are prevalent, the population of harbor seals and sea lions in the area seems to have declined significantly over the past two decades. For about 16 years, people have not harvested Butter Clams because of Paralytic Shellfish Poison. Residents have noted that this is a significant loss for community members. The dominant physical hazard in the Kodiak Island Archipelago is inclement weather. During severe storms, especially winter storms, Ouzinkie can be completely isolated from the outside world, with the loss of telephone communication for days, and threats of running out of fuel oil and store supplies. Occasional dry spells in the summer can create dusty conditions. The wet climate can be a source of black mold, which affects the condition of homes and other buildings, including the school. Issues Specific issues noted by residents in Comprehensive Plan meetings in addition to those identified at the beginning of this chapter include the following: High Priority Issues + Need to replace the old wooden dock with one that could support fishing (commercial and sport), tourism fish processing, and the Alaska Marine Highway. + Diversify the local economy. + Important to explore opportunities for alternative energy, such as wind generation. + Need for seismic and other upgrades at the school, which is the third -most vulnerable Borough facility.

FINDINGS OF FACT Section 17,72.020 states that the Commission shall incorporate the following criteria into their report to the Assembly: 17.72.020 A. Findings as to the Need and Justification for a Change or Amendment. March 18, 2009 P&Z Minutes Page 2 of 5 V The land owner, Ouzinkie Native Corporation, needs this rezone in order to redevelop a property that has historically been used for commercial and office use for many years. The buildings and use have been nonconforming for many years and this requested change of zoning will provide the encouragement to redevelop the site in a manner that allows the continued contributions of this site for the benefit of the larger community. The rezone request suggests the need for further investigation which is beyond the scope of this immediate review. 17.72.020 B. Findings as to the Effect a Change or Amendment would have on the Objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan mentions the need and desire for economic diversity and economic opportunity in the community. It also speaks to the need to maintain good two -way communication between the Kodiak Island Borough and the City of Ouzinkie. This need also applies to the related native corporations and tribal councils serving the community as well. The rezone will eliminate certain zoning nonconformities that have pre- existed on the rezone site for many years and will encourage the kind of re- development that is consistent with past use and which has served the best interests of the Ouzinkie community for many years. Roll call vote on motion CARRIED 5 -0. C) Case S09 -014.

Cassidy stated the applicant requested postponement again while waiting for the Corp of Engineers and Alaska Department of Fish & Game to resolve some issues based on the nature of this easement. Staff believes this should be postponed until next month. COMMISSIONER WATKINS asked Cassidy if this salmon easement through Fish & Game is a State law or Fish & Game policy because if it's State law we can't do anything with this easement. Cassidy stated if he asked him to look into this he hasn't but he will and will have an answer at the next meeting. COMMISSIONER WATKINS MOVED to postpone Case S09 -014 until the April 15, 2009 regular Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, subject to the timely submittal of a more detailed information related to the need for the vacation and specifically showing what level of requested relief is necessary to accommodate ADEC requirements for on -site septic system development.

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 2007, the harvesters of this private timber paid a severance tax of over $57 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, 14 successful missions have been launched. According to the independent research and consulting firms Information Insights, Inc. and Van Wyhe Rogers Group, LLC in 2007 AADC spending generated approximately $30.4 million impact on the Kodiak economy - $20.1 million in direct economic output, and $10.3 million in indirect and induced economic output. AADC spent $11.8 million in the direct Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 3 purchase of goods and services in the Kodiak Island Borough, which was distributed among 82 businesses. AADC employs an average of 42 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 5% to over 12% in 2008, 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 $64 million, making this one of Kodiak's most valuable fisheries. 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. Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 6 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. 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. Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 7 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 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. Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 8 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. 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. Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 9 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 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 Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 10 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 2008 estimated population of the Kodiak Island Borough is 13,373. Following are descriptions of the major population areas: 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 MN 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 Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 11 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. MN Lazy Bay, 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 MN 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 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. Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 12 MN Lazy Bay 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. OId 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 220 people living in Old Harbor. OId 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. The State of Alaska owns and operates the 2,800 -foot runway that can accommodate twin otter aircraft. No flight Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 13 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 LARSEN BAY KARLUK Nono PORT LIONS OLD HARBOR 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 2006 is indicated in the graph below. 50,000 2007 Total Fish Processed by Species Total Deliveries to Kodiak Processors 40,000 7 30,000 7 20,000 7 10,000 7 0 Metric Tonnes 41,054 Salmon Pollock 34,027 Cod 24,852 Halibut Flatfish Rockfish Herring Crab 3,881 25,628 9,648 2,246 1,275 Other 1,941 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 2007, the harvesters of this private timber paid a severance tax of $57,280 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 7,000 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 26 Population and Labor Force The population of the Kodiak Island Borough is 13,568. 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 1,376 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 2008 and 2007 were $1,409,253 and $1,285,298, 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 has resulted in fleet consolidation. In 1995 at the start of the program, 4,829 fishermen were issued halibut quota shares and 1,054 were issued sablefish shares. At the end of 2007, 3,002 halibut and 857 sablefish quota share owners remained, condensing ownership in the combined fishery by 34 percent. A similar program was instituted in 2005 for the Bering Sea and Aleutian Island (BSAI) crab fisheries. In 2003 the BSAI crab fishery had 252 boats registered for king crab, 22 for golden crab and 192 for snow crab. By 2007 the BSAI fleet had downsized to just 74 boats for red king, 5 for golden king and 76 for snow crab. Fewer boats means less crewmen positions available for local residents.* * Alaska Dept of Labor and Workforce Development 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, Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 43 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 - 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 Tong -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 II now allow small and large cruise ship to dock and several motor coaches 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 Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 44 visitor industry. Archaeological sites located near the communities also present the opportunity for "ancestral heritage tourism ". One example is the "Dig Afognak" 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 and 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) Kodiak Island Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Page 45 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). 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 representatives of Kodiak's eight Alutiiq corporations, 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.

Performance Evaluation Performance evaluation is an important component of the economic development process. Most simply, it gauges the organization's effectiveness in meeting its goals. To be effective, performance evaluation should be conducted on an ongoing basis and the results used to adjust or redirect organizational efforts. This Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) identifies four primary goals that give overall direction to the economic development efforts of the Kodiak CEDS Committee. Under each goal are a number of objectives that articulate specific types of activity that support CEDS goals. Finally, the CEDS identifies a menu of strategies that may be employed to achieve each objective. The annual work plan of the Kodiak CEDS Committee will identify the specific activities to be undertaken and the performance measures by which their success will be evaluated. The Kodiak CEDS Committee will prepare its annual report and performance evaluation consistent with the requirements of EDA. Annual reports will include reporting and quantifying its progress towards achieving CEDS goals and will consider the following values: 4 The extent to which the Annual Work Plan is consistent with identified CEDS goals. 4 The extent to which the Annual Work Plan is consistent with CEDS objectives. 4 The extent to which the organization is meeting the performance measures specified in the Annual Work Plan.

F. G. H. I J. K. M. charged at the time of disposal at the rate established in item A.3. of this fee schedule. The Kodiak Island Borough will invoice the United States Coast Guard for all or any portion of those fees charged, as agreed upon by the parties.

Dumping commercial waste in residential dumpsters or other business's dumpsters without written permission will result in a $300.00 fine for the first offense and a $1,000.00 fine for the second and subsequent offenses. Dumping metals, used oil, bilge water, epoxy paint or other hazardous waste items in a commercial or residential dumpster will result in a $300 fine for the first offense and a $1,000 fine for the second and subsequent offenses. 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. 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. 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). Non - profit organizations will be allowed free disposal of household residential waste up to 1000 Ibs /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. L. Commercial establishments, and /or small quantity generators, who generate hazardous waste must contact an environmental company to properly dispose of their waste. 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.
