FY2009 -06 AUTHORIZING THE BOROUGH TO ISSUE GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS IN THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF NOT TO EXCEED $115,300,000 TO FINANCE THE PLANNING, DESIGN, AND CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW HIGH SCHOOL, AN ADMINISTRATIVE BUILDING AND RELATED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AND TO SUBMIT THE QUESTION OF THE ISSUANCE OF SUCH BONDS TO THE QUALIFIED VOTERS OF THE BOROUGH AT THE OCTOBER 7, 2008 REGULAR BOROUGH ELECTION SUMMARY: The Kodiak Island Borough wishes to replace the Kodiak Island High School with a new building. There are several reasons for this. They include skyrocketing maintenance and utility costs. The building is old and not very efficient. The high school is also a "patchwork" of several different buildings that do not fit together that well. The needs of our students and the makeup of our student body have changed. When the high school was originally built computers were not in use. Now they are in the mainstream of our children's education. By designing and building a new high school we will save a considerable amount of money on utility and maintenance costs. We will also be able to give our children a better education to help prepare them for their future.
