12 WHEREAS, the Kodiak Island Borough represents approximately 15,000 residents of the
13 Kodiak Island Archipelago living in six incorporated cities and one community governed by a
14 tribal council government; and
15
16 WHEREAS, a Borough -wide State legislative capital improvement program has been adopted

23 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND
24 BOROUGH THAT:
25
26 Section 1: The Kodiak Island Borough's State Legislative capital improvement project
27 priorities for the 2010 legislative session are as follows:
28
29
1. Kodiak ADF&G Research Facility
Total estimated cost for the project: $20,000,000
State funding request: $ 5,000,000
Locating a new Alaska Department of Fish and Game building on Near Island and
adjacent to its federal research facility counterpart will have many obvious advantages;
information sharing is just one. The real justification for a new state research facility is
the shortcomings found in the existing ADF&G building constructed in 1973. These
deficiencies were identified in the ASCG "Condition Survey" study of the existing
building performed in 2002. A second "Needs Assessment" report demonstrated that
there is a need for additional research and administrative space (approximately 60%
more), which includes basic lab space (which has been turned into office space in the
31
32
33
34
2. New High SchoolNocational Education
Total estimated cost for the project: $80,800,000
State funding request: $15,500,000
The existing Kodiak High School complex was built in 1966 with several additions and
renovations made throughout the years. The building is now functionally obsolete, is not
energy efficient, and is overcrowded with 800 students in a school that was built for 550.
The full project will renovate all existing facilities of the existing high school building and
provide addition facilities to accommodate decades of student population growth.
Additionally, this project will renovate existing spaces of the high school for
administrative offices for School District -wide functions. A small obsolete building will be
demolished to make room for the new academic wing.
The primary objective of this project is to design the renovation of the existing facilities
for current and future vocational, academic, art, athletic, and rural needs, and to build
additional academic and common spaces to enrich the students' education with
essential student activities and regional community involvement. This renovation and
addition would capture the latest technology for energy efficiencies and sustainability.
Approximately $15,500,000 of the cost of this project is for vocational facilities that are
needed for the Kodiak Island region. Funding for this project will come from a Borough -
wide bond sale which will include local contribution and state reimbursement. Given the
state's responsibility to provide vocational education and training, and the significantly
higher costs vocational facilities add to the high school renovation, the Borough is
requesting legislative funding for the vocational portion of the renovation in the amount
of $15.5 million.
3. New Long Term Care Facility — Planning and Design
Total estimated cost for the project: $1,500,000
State funding request: $1,365,000
Kodiak Island's only long term care facility is in need of replacement. The "Care Center"
is housed in a former hospital wing that was never meant to be a nursing home. The
use of this space presents space, safety, security, and privacy concerns in an
institutional environment. A new facility, modeled after the Green House® concept,
which feels more like a home than an institution is the preferred replacement. Planning
and pre - development activities are necessary to determine the needs and financial
feasibility of a new facility.

4. Womens Bay Tsunami /Emergency Shelter
Total estimated cost for the project: $1,500,000
State funding request: $1,025,000
There is no emergency shelter in the Womens Bay Community. Womens Bay is located
8 miles from town and 2 miles from the United States Coast Guard Support Center.
Should there be a tsunami that destroys the roads, or a rock slide at Womens Mountain
or Pillar Mountain, the community of 700 residents would be without support services. A
logical location for an emergency shelter is adjacent and attached to the Womens Bay
Fire Department. A 2,500 square foot addition with an emergency generator is
proposed. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Economic Development
Initiative funds in the amount of $475,000 have been appropriated for this project.
5. Emergency Generators for Schools/Emergency Shelters
Total estimated cost for the project: $ 2,400,000
State funding request: $1,200,000
Many of our in -town and village school facilities act as emergency shelters during
extreme weather events or during times of natural or economic catastrophes. There is a
need to equip the Kodiak High School, East Elementary, North Star Elementary,
Peterson Elementary, Old Harbor village school, Port Lions village school, and the
Karluk village school facilities with emergency generators to provide power for sheltering
needs and as back -up power during short term loss of electricity. These generators will
be housed permanently at the school facilities and become part of the building. Located
at these sites, they can be tested, operated and maintained as part of the service to the
overall school building.
6. East Elementary Traffic Flow Improvements
Total estimated cost for the project: $500,000
State funding request: $500,000
Design and reconfiguration of the existing parking area will reduce risks by providing for
a safer separation of pedestrians, small vehicle traffic and bus loading/unloading. A new
design will require an increase in the total area of the parking lot to allow adequate
parking to support increased building usage and occupant load.
7. Traffic Safety Lighting (City of Kodiak to United States Coast Guard Base)
Total estimated cost for the project: $3,000,000
State funding request: $3,000,000
One road connects the City of Kodiak to the state airport, the U.S. Coast Guard Support
Center, and neighborhoods located roughly south of town. This stretch of roadway
between the city limits and the Coast Guard Base is approximately five miles of dark,
two lane winding roadway with an average speed limit of 45 miles per hour. The lack of
highway lighting is a significant safety concern along this section of heavily traveled
road.

8. Service Area Paving
State funding request: $2,000,000
This project addresses the on -going need to pave portions of Borough Service Area roads.
There are approximately 26 miles of road among four Road Service Areas that connect
residential neighborhoods with the greater Kodiak community. Paving projects will address
either main thoroughfares or busy neighborhood roads as well as improvements to major
drainage course that runs through these areas.
Paving service area roads eliminates poor air quality experienced by the neighborhood.
Kodiak's road construction material is shale /mudstone that breaks down easily into fine air
borne dust and volcanic ash. Kodiak's rainy climate and winter freeze and thaw of road bed
material promotes major maintenance issues with the development of pot holes and
degradation of road surfaces.
Residents located within the paving area will contribute, through a local improvement
district, a percentage of the engineering and improvement costs. Due to the high cost of
asphalt, the Borough is seeking the state's financial assistance to help to reduce this cost to
the residents. The Borough's paving needs will be phased in and completed on a priority
basis as funding is available.
9. Baranof Park Improvements
Total estimated cost for the project: $6,500,000
State funding request: $3,250,000
This project will replace the aging track, field drainage, and bleacher area in Baranof Park.
Improvements to the track include replacement of the existing 6 lane synthetic surface track
(the only regulation track in the Kodiak region) with an eight lane synthetic surface track to
allow for regional meets. In -field improvements will include a synthetic surface for multi-
purpose use and a `D" zone for field events. In addition, a synthetic surface is planned for
the second multi- purpose field located in the Park. Baranof Park is a regional recreational
facility that serves not only City residents, but the entire region. The Park serves as an
important educational facility for both the Kodiak Middle School and the Kodiak High
School, neither of which have any other outdoor educational facilities. Improvements to
Baranof Park are estimated to cost $6.5 million, with at least half the cost of these
improvements attributed to Kodiak Island Borough School District use of the facility.
Preliminary engineering plans and bid specifications for the needed improvements have
been completed, but the City lacks the funds to move forward with the needed
improvements. The community is requesting funding support for half the estimated cost of
constructing these important community and school district facilities.

10. Rezanof Drive Pavement Rehabilitation and Upgrade,
Phase II
Total estimated cost for the project: $6,000,000
State funding request: $6,000,000
Rezanof Drive is a major thoroughfare and is used extensively by citizens living along
the road system on Kodiak Island from Fort Abercrombie through the City of Kodiak and
past the Coast Guard base. It is also the main route of commerce connecting the City of
Kodiak to two important facilities: the state airport and the U.S. Coast Guard Support
Center, and connects residents with Fort Abercrombie State Park and other areas of
recreation. This road is owned and maintained by the State of Alaska Department of
Transportation & Public Facilities and is listed as number 29 out of 100 worst roads in
Alaska that need repair. Kodiak Island Borough is requesting support of this road
project which is included in the Statewide Transportation Improvements Program (STIP).
11. Peterson Elementary School Parking Lot Paving
Total estimated cost for the project: $1,150,000
State funding request: $1,150,000
Peterson Elementary School is one of six "in -town" public schools of Kodiak. Each of
the other five schools has paved driveways and parking spaces. Peterson's surrounding
topography is very level thus making drainage a challenge. This weak drainage forces a
routine battle against the development of potholes throughout its gravel driveways and
parking areas. All surrounding public roadways within four miles of the school are
paved. Paving this school's driveways and parking will provide safer and cleaner
facilities for our students, faculty, staff, and parents.

2010 Legislative Priorities
Revenue Sharing
The Alaska Municipal League supports full funding of $60 million into the Revenue Sharing Fund;
and the appropriation of the full $60 million from the Revenue Sharing Fund into the FY2011 budget,
to the communities, allowing for inflation, while yet realizing our ultimate long -term goal is 6% of
state natural resource revenues.
Energy
The Alaska Municipal League supports the development of a comprehensive energy plan and
implementation strategy to meet the energy needs of citizens and communities throughout the state, in
the most efficient and cost effective manner.
Transportation
The Alaska Municipal League supports the development of a long -term sustainable transportation
funding mechanism of Alaska, especially important in the looming bankruptcy of the U.S. Federal
Transportation Trust Fund.
Education
The Alaska Municipal League supports long -term forward funding of an adequate and equitable
education foundation program, school debt reimbursement and construction; and, opposes any change
in the Alaska Foundation Formula that would increase the burden to local government.
