Status of Watershed Land Transfer Process �-1 Proposal to supply crossing guards for the City of Kodiak Submitted by: Kodiak Football League (signature) (date) Name (printed) Title: Company: Kodiak Football League Address: City State: Zip Telephone No. FAX No. E -MAIL: Purpose: To escort school children across a roadway safely at designated school crossings. Summary of Proposal: The City of Kodiak has solicited proposals for Adult School Crossing Guard Services from qualified non - profit groups, individuals, and /or companies for the 2010 -11 school year. The scope of work describes at least one qualified Adult Crossing Guard at each specified location on days and during times that school is in session. The Kodiak Football League would like to propose a change in the scope of work. Instead of having one qualified Adult Crossing Guard at each specified location, we will provide a trained adult supervisor (21 yrs or older) who will train high school age students 16 and older to provide crossing guard services at all 5 intersections. The Kodiak Football League will work in close partnership with Kodiak High School to offer an early morning and a late afternoon class (Crossing Guard Safety, First Aid and CPR) to any and all students who are interested in community service and earning course credit as a Crossing Guard. All high school crossing guards will be required to attend crossing guard safety training, First Aid /CPR training, and earn a 10 hour OSHA certification. The Adult supervisor /trainer will provide training, guidance, supervision and support for all high school crossing guards. Kodiak Football League will work directly with administration at Kodiak High School to guarantee high school students are receiving the necessary training and supervision to be highly qualified school crossing guards. In addition, the Adult Supervisor will provide a monthly report regarding the number of crossing guards and the time spent for training and working as crossing guards. Kodiak Football League (KFL) agrees to station a minimum of one qualified high school crossing guard at each specified location on days and during times that school is in session. KFL also agrees to provide a trained adult supervisor between the hours of 7:30 a.m. until 9:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. SCHOOL CROSSING GUARD POLICY AND PROCEDURE PURPOSE - To establish a policy and procedure for the KFL Crossing Guard Program. BACKGROUND - The Kodiak Crossing Guard Program has been established to provide adequate child pedestrian safety and to facilitate safe passage of children across dangerous street intersections. UNIFORMS and EQUIPMENT - Each school crossing guard shall be issued the following: 1. Crossing Guard Vest 2. Stop Sign 3. Whistle and Lanyard 4. Flashlight 5. Raingear (Poncho) 6. First Aid Kit PERSONAL APPEARANCE - It shall be the responsibility of every crossing guard to maintain a neat and clean appearance while on crossing guard duty and to wear appropriate clothing for the weather conditions. UNPROFESSIONAL CONDUCT - While on duty, the crossing guard shall not: 1. Eat breakfast, lunches, etc. 2. Use cell phone or other electronic device. 3. Be late for their assigned tour of duty. 4. Direct traffic; guards are only authorized to stop traffic, not to direct traffic. TRAINING - It shall be the responsibility of the KFL in partnership with the Kodiak Police Department and Kodiak Island Borough School District to provide school crossing guard training on an annual basis. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES - It shall be the responsibility of each individual crossing guard to: 1. Report emergencies to Central Dispatch utilizing the emergency telephone number of 9 -1 -1. 2. To accomplish reporting as set forth in procedures outlined in the training sessions. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - It shall be the responsibility of each individual crossing guard to understand that: 1. The main goal is the SAFETY and WELFARE of children at the crossing location and that all the crossing guard's attention should be concentrated on that goal. 2. Some corners may have safety - patrol children working in conjunction with the crossing guard; a close working relationship should be developed to increase the efficiency of the program. 3. Children should be instructed in the safe way to cross the street. This will build confidence and assist them in crossing streets not covered by crossing guard personnel. 4. CHILDREN MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO RUN ACROSS THE STREET. They are to walk in an orderly manner. This will help to develop proper attitudes. 5. Natural "gaps" (if any) in traffic should be used to take the children across the street. 6. When stopping vehicular traffic, make signals and gestures DISTINCT, DECISIVE and UNDERSTANDABLE. 7. If the crossing location has a traffic signal, synchronize crossing guard movements with the signal phasing, being aware of right turns on red. 8. The hand -held stop sign shall be held in an overhead, upright position anytime the crossing guard is in the crosswalk. • FAILURE TO OBEY CROSSING GUARD SIGNAL - Any motorist violating the crossing guard hand -held stop sign, which is being held in an upright position and visible to approaching traffic, shall be reported to the Crossing Guard Supervisor for follow through with the Police Department. Reporting shall be in accordance with the procedures set forth in the training sessions. AUTHORITY and RESPONSIBILITIES - The crossing guard's scope of authority and responsibility is limited to crossing guard duties as outlined and does not extend to enforcement and /or regulatory action.

My purpose is to determine whether or not the Kodiak Island Borough and the City of Kodiak would like to engage me to provide technical and community- oriented advice and recommendations regarding fishery, and potentially other natural resource, issues of importance to Kodiak. My interest would very specifically not be in providing information or arguments to favor one gear group or sector over another. Rather, I would intend to help the borough assembly and city council fully understand the technical and policy issues from a community perspective and help the assembly /council develop position statements to, for example, the North Pacific Fishery Management Council and the Alaska Board of Fisheries if warranted. Let me know if there is interest on the part of the Borough Assembly and /or the City Council. As always, its a pleasure working with you. Best, DL. t Proposal for a Fisheries Consultant to the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly Prepared by Terry Haines Consulting 724 Hillside Dr. Kodiak, AK 99615 (907) 942-0365 yohaines.kodiakRgmail.com Proposal for a Fisheries Consultant to the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly Overview: Nothing is more crucial to the economy of the Kodiak Island Borough than the form and direction of fisheries management polices. However, the management process, because of its complex and multifaceted nature, has proven difficult for the Borough to engage. The assignment of the Chamber of Commerce's Trevor Brown to monitor NPFMC meetings was a step in the right direction, and he has done fine work. Unfortunately, Mr. Brown's commitments as Director of the Chamber make it impossible for him to completely focus his efforts during the periods surrounding management meetings. In addition, sharing Mr. Brown's services with the City and the Chamber further dilute his ability to speak on behalf of the Borough without potential conflict. Terry I- Iaines Consulting would propose to amend this situation by attending fisheries management meetings, panels and advisory committees in order to provide the Assembly with complete and timely reports in advance of management decisions. Purpose for Fisheries Consultant: 1) Enabling Timely and Relevant Inputs As Management Policies Evolve: Stop sending someone out to play shortstop after the batter has hit the ball. The contractor's report would center on a complete list of proposed actions, prioritized by: 1) timeframe, and 2) potential impact to the Borough. In addition to attending North Pacific Fisheries Management Council proceedings the reporter will strive for balance by monitoring testimony at the advisory panel level and with active outreach to stakeholders. The resulting report will frame the proposed actions with an objective consideration of stakeholder standpoints. A draft report will be presented to the ICFAC for additional input from local stakeholders before final presentation to the Assembly. 2) Catching Up With Catch Shares: NOAH is pushing Catch Shares hard. Given consistent, timely and relevant engagement on the part of the Borough, Catch Shares programs developed for the region could include provisions to protect and even enhance the Borough's economy. The price of neglect could include market restrictions, loss of entry level opportunity, excessive fleet consolidation and capital flight through absentee ownership. As home to one of the most vibrant fishing economies in the world, the Kodiak Island Borough has a unique opportunity, and responsibility, to help design Catch Shares programs that encourage both healthy stocks and healthy communities. Qualifications, Terry Haines Consulting: 1) Unique Requirements: This is not a job for everyone. The ability to communicate effectively with all participants will determine the relative success of the Borough's fisheries consultant. Over the course of eleven years attending NPFMC meetings I have developed positive relationships with the people and institutions that constitute the fisheries management process. I have found that discussions that focus on solutions and common ground are only possible when you listen, and treat others with respect. Equally important is a positive working relationship with regulators and managers and the ability to understand the process. A decade of immersion has left me with both. Twenty eight years as a local commercial fisherman have blessed me with a store of practical knowledge about the industry and a wealth of personal relationships, both of which will serve me well in this capacity. Finally three years on the Kodiak City Council, two of them serving on the Board of Directors of the Southwest Alaska Municipal Conference have left me with a broad perspective, and an appreciation of the constraints and responsibilities of municipal government. Envisioned within the scope of the work: I. Full attendance of all relevant meetings, including advisory panels, committees and staff tasking. 2. A `Report to the Assembly" for every meeting attended, with issues prioritized by timeline and potential impact to the Borough, and updates posted as needed. 3. Robust "hallway" engagement of participants to assess all facets of proposed management changes. 4. Testimony made by the contractor on behalf of the Borough must adhere carefully to the specific instructions of the Borough Assembly. Proposed format for reports: Reports must be easy to read and easy to use. 1. Summary, including list of proposed actions prioritized by impact and timeline 2. Section on each proposed action, including all options and alternatives and describing conflicts and common ground among stakeholders and information garnered from regulators and their staff. 3. Index and notes section listing sources, contacts and resources. 4. Draft submitted to KFAC and amended as needed to include local input. 5. Final report submitted to Assembly in time to prepare comment, if desired, for the next fisheries management meeting.

I've thought about this a lot and feel that the job description is vital. While I wouldn't be interested in such a position, 1 care deeply about this community and believe we need to be a bit more organized when it comes to fisheries issues and how we approach them.

I'm going to outline a few things I've thought of. This shouldn't be presumed to be a complete list. My ideas for a fisheries consultant for the city and borough are pretty simple Task: Monitor and report on political and /or regulatory commercial fishery issues in the state and federal arena that could impact the Kodiak Island Borough and /or City of Kodiak. Represent the city and /or borough as directed. Some regulatory /political areas for tracking: Alaska: Board of Fisheries, Legislature, Governor's office, other communities, industry groups and leaders Federal: Congressional, NOAA/NMFS, North Pacific Fishery Management Council, Federal Subsistence Board International: International Pacific Halibut Commission Other: SWAMC, ComFish, local fishery groups and individuals Some specific identification and reporting ideas: - Trends and actual harvest limits that are set annually by NPFMC and ADF &G and potential impact - Amount of product coming into Kodiak historically and potential future changes - Value of product and potential changes - Proposed or ongoing regulatory measures that could impact Kodiak's fisheries and fishermen with timeline - Allocative or non - controversial issue breakdown - Potential or existing conflicts within the fishing community - (heads up on potential disputes) - Analysis on potential short and long -term impacts for various issues identified as important for the community - Current and proposed science and research projects that will impact fisheries This individual needs to be self - motivated and be able to communicate well, as well as the ability to interact with all of the various and strong personalities in our community that are interested in fish. i Basically, 1 see this person as an analyist, more than an advocate. Someone who can identify which areas are allocative and where positions shouldn't be taken by the city or borough, or issues that are clearly going to impact the community and need to be addressed. Also this person could help to educate the community on the value and importance of the commercial fishing industry. Some advocacy work will be necessary and attendance at meetings is important. I hope this helps a bit. Thanks.

City of Kodiak is interested in having us represent it in connection with fisheries matters. We propose to do so on the following terms. 1. koraelgatabig. We understand that the City is interested in having us monitor federal fishery policy developments that could affect the City's interests. We understand that our representation would initially be focused on the North Pacific Fishery Management Council's Gulf of Alaska groundfah rationalization initiative, but could also involve other matters. We anticipate spending apprwdmately 20 hours a month on City fisheries matters. We expect that time would primarily be allocated among (i) discussions with City staff and City Council members prior to North Pacific Fishery Management Council meetings, to identify issues important to the City and to prepare positions on those issues; (ii) attending North Pacific Fishery Management Council meetings, to monitor staff reports and Council discussions on City Sues, and meeting with Council staff and Council members to provide them with the City's position; and (iii) providing the City with a post - meeting report concerning Council discussions and action on City issues. 2. yotential Conflicts of Representation. Our firm's fisheries practice is primarily focused on representing the fishing vessel owners that operate in the Being 3 MAR- 19-2003 15:29 FROM TO 0399*999u19074868600 P.003/204 MUNDT MACGREGOR wt Ms. Linda Freed March 19, 2003 Page 2 Sea and the Gulf of Alaska. Our fisheries clients also include fishing vessel trade associations, a fishermen's marketing association, several American Fisheries Act harvesting cooperatives, and a small processing plant in Kodiak. Based on our discussions concerning the scope of our proposed representation of the City of Kodiak, we do not perceive there to be a conflict between the City and our existing clients. However, it is possible that a conflict could develop in the future between the City and one or more of our existing clients. In the course of our representation of the City of Kodiak, it is also conceivable that we could gain knowledge or information that might prove useful to our existing clients in the event of a future conflict. Our Rules of Professional Conduct (the State standards governing our ethical obligations) prohibit us from representing the City of Kodiak in these circumstances unless consent is received Iran the City of Kodiak and our existing clients after disclosure. Our Sating clients have informed us that their policy is, in general, to consent to multiple representation as long as their ability to fully utilize the services of Mundt MacGregor in the future is not impaired. We, therefore, ask that the City agree to the following conditions and waivers: First, that the City acknowledge our continuing representation of our existing clients and waive any objection it might have to such representation. Second, that the City agree that in the event any actual and present conflict between the City of Kodiak and one or more of our existing clients arises, Mundt MacC,egvr may withdraw from further representation of the City of Kodiak and continue to tcy.ctt our existing clients. Obviously, we will at all times take all reasonable steps to safeguard the confidentiality of both the City's affain and the affairs of our existing clients, and if we find it necessary to withdraw from representing the City, we would assist the City in identifying other potential representatives. We do not believe that our ability to represent the City of Kodiak in connection with this matter will be adversely or materially affected by our representation of our existing clients. We will however, be happy to discuss any reservations you may have regarding these matters. 3. Fees and Costs. We propose to undertake the representation described above for a monthly retainer of $5,500.00. In addition to the retainer, we would expect the City to pay a pro rata share of the costs associated with my attendance 4 • MAR -19 -2003 15:30 FROM TO 0099 *999tt19074868600 P.004/004 MUNDT MACGREGOR. us.. Ms. Linda Freed March 19, 2003 Page 3 at North Pacific Fishery Management Council meetings. We propose to calculate that pro-rata share based on time I spend on City matters at each Council meeting, as compared to the dine I spend on other clients' matters. hi addition, we propose to bill copying, mailing, and other office expenses at actual cost. As we've discussed, we propose undertaking the representation desaibed above on the fee basis outlined above for an initial period of six months. At that point we would like to review both the scope of representation and the fees with you and the City Council. Once again, Linda, we very much appreciate the City's interest in our services, and I look forward to meeting with you and the City Council next week. Very truly yours, MUNDT MACGREGOR L.LP. J M.

As you move forward with this process, we suggest the appointment of a Kodiak resident to help ensure the future of FTIC is reflective of the local and state fishing industry, and that it incorporates real world applications in developing seafood. As you know, FITC's mission is to increase the value of Alaska's fishing industry and marine resources through research, technology development, education and service. The researchers at FITC have been involved in innovative seafood product development, and FITC has produced numerous graduate students who have gone on to work in seafood related sectors in Alaska. We believe and are strong advocates for the full potential of the facility that has not yet been realized. Also, in your continued search for a new dean for the School of Ocean Sciences, we encourage you to seek candidates who will perpetuate a positive relationship between the university and the seafood industry. In our eyes, a successful School of Fisheries and Ocean Science will be led by someone with a passion for community sustainability and the role of natural resources in the cultures and economies of Alaska, in addition to a firm base in the academic sciences. In recent years, we were pleased to see Dean Wiesenburg's commitment to transform the Fisheries Industrial Technology Center into a leading educational, training, and research institution. We commend Dr. Murat Balaban's vision for moving NTrc into a stronger role of collaboration beyond the bounds of the university, with the businesses in the seafood industry, fishing dependent communities, and the broader education community. In closing, we would like to thank you for the attention you have given to this letter and to the university's role in supporting Alaska's marine resource industries. Please let us know If we can be of assistance as you consider candidates for the committee, There are a number of community members who are well- qualified to fulfill the seat on this committee.

Box 757500 Fairbanks, AK 99775 -7500 Dear Chancellor Rogers: I am pleased to provide this report of the April 17 -18 meeting of the Advisory Council for the School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences in Fairbanks. As always, the council is impressed with the dedication of the administration, faculty, and staff of SFOS and its progress in a less than ideal budgetary environment. This year, of course, we learned that Dean Denis Wiesenburg will be leaving to return to his Mississippi roots. He has done a wonderful job as the school's leader these past 6 years; he was exactly the right person at the right time and his tenure was marked by major achievements for the school. And he has assembled an impressive group of people in his office to support the school and its work. The Advisory Council recommends that a new permanent replacement be found as soon as possible so that the school can capitalize on the great advances it has made recently. Of course, that cannot happen Immediately, and there are outstand people available at the university who can take the helm until then. The council was buoyed by the news of the excellent progress being made on the Research Vessel Sikuliaq. The whole project has been well conceived and managed and the ship will be an ' important resource for researchers beginning in 2013. We emphasize the importance of having members of the SFOS faculty be major users of the ship. Far less benefit would accrue to the University of Alaska Fairbanks if it only managed the ship than if its outstanding faculty also used it extensively, Achieving this goal will require the timely preparation of thoughtful and innovative proposals, and those proposals will need to include support for significant amounts of ship time. It certainly is not too soon to begin thinking about those proposals now, and we encourage the university to support their preparation in any way it can. We are aware that recent faculty recruitment efforts have included candidates interested in open -ocean research. This is important because the ship will place UAF in a vary good position to attract top talent in this area. The council devoted a considerable amount of time to the Fishery Industrial Technology Center (FITC). FITC was established to fulfill a mission that seems obviously important, but it has not achieved its full promise to date. The council Is very supportive of the idea of a FITC at the University of Alaska to take advantage of and to enhance the global importance of seafood, Alaska's leading role as a seafood producer, and the outstanding human resources in this area actually and potentially available at the University of Alaska. We continue to support the idea of a seafood science and technology (SST) academic program. In last year's report, we indicated that this program should beat the graduate level and perhaps at the undergraduate level as well. New information we received at th is recent meeting led us to reaffirm our support for a SST program, but we are Less sure of the appropriate academic levels best suited for its implementation. We think that determination should be part of a focused look at the FITC and the best options for fully implementing the FITC concept. To that end, we recommend the establishment of a task force to report back to the chancellor on this topic no later than the end of calendar year 2010. The task force should be asked to advise on the structure of the administration, faculty size and composition, teaching program, funding relationships, and • organizational affiliations and relationships within UA and beyond that would best allow the FITC vision to be realized. The council does have a few specific suggestions for consideration of the chancellor and the task • force. We judge that additional faculty are needed at FITC to achieve a critical mass. We also see a potential opportunity for members of the fishing and seafood processing industries to teach short courses at FITC. Finally, we conclude that it is essential for FITC's success for it to provide diplomas, certificates, degrees, or other recognition of its students' attainment of knowledge and skills in seafood science and technology. Wo also were pleased to note that finding has been provided by the legislature for three of the six Marine Advisory Program (MAP) positions that need to be supported or filled. We understand that the legislation providing the funds was based on an explicit agreement that the remaining three positions would be filled or given continuing support by UAF. The council supports such an agreement. We also suggest that there is an opportunity for the Kodiak MAP agent to support the mission of the FITC. The council also discussed, but did not reach conclusions about, the matter of the Shell Oil Company's request to the school for advice on research needed to provide sufficient information for lease sales in the Arctic, and the future of the school's participation in the Alaska Ocean Observing System (AOOS). Because a new dean will need to make decisions about these matters, we mention them here only to indicate that care is required in both cases to choose the best path forward. Finally, we note with pleasure that the school's development program, one of the first, if not the first on the campus, has achieved positive outcomes that reflect the in -depth knowledge of partner opportunities and provides a focal point for faculty engagement in development. There have been more than 500 donors and some significant gifts have been received. This program deserves continued support. The council is optimistic that despite some impending changes — especially in the dean's and the • president's offices —the School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences will continue to maintain and improve its standards of excellence in research, teaching, and service. We appreciate the administration's continued support of the school —we were pleased that Provost Susan Henrichs attended a significant part of the meeting and was engaged in the deliberations —and we look forward to continuing to work with you and the school to help you achieve future progress and to maintain the advancements that already have been achieved.

Deliberations about the appropriate role for Fish Tech continue. Just this week, Chancellor Rogers has appointed a task force to look at Fish Tech and its role in the university and seafood industry. The committee has been charged with: o Assessing FITCs current and recent past value to the fish processing industry and the fishing Industry more generally, based on services and research products provided. o Assessing FITC's programs and services in light of industry need and Its statutory basis. o Assessing FITC's current contributions to fulfilling UAF's mission as a land grant and sea grant university. o Recommend changes in FITC activities and focus to better serve fish processors, fish harvesters, and the citizens of Alaska, Rep. Austerman has been in regular communication with Chancellor Rogers as he moved toward appointing this committee, with an emphasis on the importance of appointing people from Kodiak to serve. The committee will be chaired by UAF School of Management Dean (and fishery economist) Mark Hermann, with additional invited members Including Barbara Belson, Julie Bonney, Roxle Dinstel (UAF Cooperative Extension), Thayne Dutson (Oregon State Agricultural Extension Service), Frank Kelly (Unalaska), Kris Norosz (Icicle Seafoods), George Pigott, University of Washington School of Fisheries, Jeff Stephan, Arliss Sturgulewskl, and Kate Sullivan, UAS Fisheries Technology Program (Kodiak). Rep. Austerman and Chancellor Rogers agree that the Kodiak Community has an important role to play in voicing our intentions and vision for this community facility. Toward that end, he'd like to convene a group to brainstorm our community's needs and interests with regard to Fish Tech. With the holiday season approaching, we recognize scheduling may be difficult. The best time may actually be the first week of January, before our offices move to Juneau for the legislative session. Earlier times might be workable, too, depending on the schedules of others. Please let Rep. Austerman know If you're interested in participating in a conversation of this nature. p.s.

April 9 -12 Kate Wynne is putting on the Kodiak area marine science symposium and Corn fish is starting on the 14 Kodiak's fishing economy is vital to our Cities well being. NOAA is promoting catch shares as a preferred option of fish management. I feel we as a community should be sitting at the front row of all these discussions. What better chance do we have than to invite the head of NOAA come to town and have a town hall meeting. I urge the Council and the Borough to a least extend an invitation. In the interim Kodiak fish advisory committee could work on a laundry list of what we would like to see if we go down the road of catch share programs.

Kodiak, AK 99615 Re: Monashka Bay Watershed Transfer Ms. Kniaziowski: This updates the status of the ongoing discussion initiated last year between the City and Borough to explore the procedures required for transfer of Borough -owned land within the Monashka Bay watershed to the City of Kodiak. Background information is also provided. To safeguard water quality, the Monashka Reservoir Watershed, which is fed by the Monashka Creek and Virginia Creek drainages, was rezoned in 1977 from Conservation to Watershed (Ordinance 77- 26 -0). This original rezone was based on aliquot part description, a method generally used to define very large tracts of land based on rectangular proportions of township, range and sections. It therefore does not lend itself well to describing areas that necessarily must coincide with naturally occurring terrain features, like a watershed. The subsequent grant by the Borough to the City of extra - territorial jurisdiction in 1984 (Ordinance 84 -36 -0) to adopt and enforce regulations to protect the municipal watershed outside City limits corresponded to this original aliquot part description. In 1992 the watershed boundary was changed based on a metes and bounds survey undertaken by the City to correspond more faithfully to the natural features of the terrain. This was accomplished by a rezone (Ordinance 92 -02) intended to more accurately reflect the two drainages. The extra - territorial jurisdiction boundary was not correspondingly changed by ordinance at that time, so that it does not now match exactly the Watershed zoning. What is required now for transfer would be for the City to complete the survey of the Monashka Reservoir Watershed initiated for the 1992 rezone as it specifically applies to the Borough owned land within the watershed drainage. By this replat procedure, an independent parcel will be created for the deed transfer. This must satisfy the minimum requirements of Title 16 (Subdivision) of Borough code, and may require extensive field surveying that was not required for the rezone. This process would also allow the City to redefine the boundary and nature of the extra - territorial jurisdiction applying to the watershed. I would refer you directly to the Community Development Department, which supports the Planning and Zoning Commission as platting authority for the Borough, to learn what exactly is required and to explore any alternative options that might be available. Please let me know if you have questions or I can provide further information.

An adult school crossing guard can be a paid employee or a volunteer member of the community. Paid employees may be preferred because an employer has the ability to train, evaluate and discipline an employee. Every prospective guard should undergo a basic physical examination and criminal background check. A guard should have good vision, hearing and mobility, be able to stand for long periods of time outdoors and to communicate well with others. It is critical that a guard can communicate clearly with the children he or she supervises at the crossing. If a guard cannot adequately read or understand English, training materials must be provided in a language in which the guard is proficient. Ideally, a guard should have good English language skills. Adult school crossing guard training is an essential step to help insure that the guard is performing properly. Training should be extended to substitute guards as well as those who supervise the crossing guards. Training methods include both classroom instruction and field exercises and should address: • The basic traffic laws of the community. • School zone signage and pavement markings. • Proper use and purpose of traffic signs and signals. • Methods of signaling drivers and taking advantage of traffic gaps. • Crossing procedures and ways to teach them to children. • Site - specific traffic factors and potential traffic hazards. • Professional work responsibilities, including agency rules and regulations, who the guard's supervisor is, the proper chain of command and legal aspects of the job. • Proper attire and behavior to remain safe and to project a positive public image. For example, while on the job, a guard should not wear clothing that is in poor taste or that promotes alcohol, tobacco or similar products. Also, a guard should not carry or use tobacco products or use foul language. Adult school crossing guards project a positive public image and serve as a role model for children. (For more information see Uniforms and Equipment) • Proper use of safety equipment. • The safety issues and limitations of children as pedestrians. • Procedures for crashes involving adult school crossing guards and children on their way to or from school. • Emergency procedures. (For specific information see When an emergency situation arises under Crossing procedures) • Protecting the health and welfare of the guard while working, including topics such as proper attire to increase visibility, the need for hydration, sun protection, bee sting treatment and how to respond to threats from loose dogs. ri U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment Statistics Occupational Employment and Wages, May 2009 33 -9091 Crossing Guards Guide or control vehicular or pedestrian traffic at such places as streets, schools, railroad crossings, or construction sites.

We are a multi- species, multi- sector, multi -gear type fishing port. Federally managed groundfish species include flatfish, Pacific cod, pollock, sablefish and Rockfish; State managed species including salmon, crab, Pacific cod, rockfish, herring and cucumbers; IFQ fisheries including sablefish and halibut. Because of our diverse species landings portfolio we have fishers of every gear type (longline, pot, trawl, jig, seine, gillnet) and vessel class (open skiffs to 100 plus foot pot and trawl vessels) that operate out of Kodiak. Additionally, the community enjoys a strong and diverse processing sector of both seasonal and year round processors, both large and small scale. The diversity of all the elements means that we have a large work force of both harvesting and processing crews. Along with our commercial fishing sector, there is a large constituency group of both sport (for hire charter and personal use) and subsistence users. We enjoy a large research center on the Island with the University of Alaska (FITC), NMFS, and ADF &G represented. Additionally, community interests are diverse with the City of Kodiak as a hub community with six satellite villages around the Island. For all these community interests a healthy fishery economy drives overall economic health. While the KIB and the City of Kodiak typically monitor but usually do not engage in policy decisions there are many constituency groups within Kodiak that represent themselves before regulatory bodies. These include Alaska Groundfish Data Bank, Alaska Whitefish Trawlers Association, Alaska Marine Conservation Council, Fish Heads, Gulf of Alaska Coastal Community Coalition, United Fisherman Marketing Association, Alaska Jig Association, and Kozak and Associates (note: this is not an all inclusive list). Since fisheries resources are limited, fishery consultants within the community typically advocate for self interests versus what may be best for the Kodiak community. Neither government body lives and breathes fish, making them vulnerable to narrow, group- centered interests versus solid community economic policy. Because of diverse interests within the community it is impossible to find any fishery advisor or fishery consultant that would not be controversial - anyone with the proper qualifications will most likely come with baggage. However, if a position is defined narrowly enough it may be possible to inform both the City Council and KIB, making them knowledgeable enough to be aware of issues that would facilitate development of appropriate policy positions that protect overall community economic health but avoid concerns about this person misrepresenting the KIB /City community interests for selfish gains. Scope: (1) At the Washington, D.C. level Congressional legislation, headquarters for both NMFS and NOAA can develop policy or regulations that have a community impact. Since both the KIB and the City of Kodiak have Brad Gilman on contract, to get the most bang for buck, he should be tasked with monitoring and reporting fish issues at the Washington, D.C. level. These reports could be quarterly or bi- monthly and monitor issues such as National Ocean Councils, Marine Spatial Planning, Endangered Species Act, Vessel safety legislation, Marine Mammal Protection Act, etc. (2) At the State level, regulatory policy that impact actual fishing within the North Pacific should be monitored. The decision making bodies include Alaska Board of Fisheries, North Pacific Fishery Management Council and International Pacific Halibut Commission. The contractual position that would be created would be targeted to these regulatory bodies. Job Title: Fisheries Analyst (not fisheries consultant or lobbyist!) Job Description: Monitor, analyze and report on regulatory fishery issues in the state and federal arenas that could potentially impact the community of Kodiak. Kodiak Fisheries Advisory Committee (KFAC) Function: KFAC has wide community representation but has not offered the policy identification and development that some government officials had hoped for. This should not be a surprise since most representatives are narrowly focused and tend to advocate for their individual self interests at the committee level. Because these committee members are narrow in focus, committee process should only work by consensus; otherwise, the committee process pits the different fishery sectors against one another depending on the issue. Present function: The committee process presently does serve as a forum for diverse community interests to come together to have a dialog across constituency groups that increases awareness and understanding across fishery sectors. Future function: The committee could have an increased roll by helping to identify proposed or ongoing regulatory measures that could impact Kodiak's fishery economy without developing policy positions. The identified issues would be analyzed by the fishery analyst for monitoring and potential community positions. Details of Fishery Analyst Position: Tasks: 1. Fisheries 101 for KIB / City officials (examples below) a. Trends and actual harvest limits that are set annually by NPFMC, IPHC and ADF &G b. Amount of product delivered to Kodiak historically and value • c. Description of Kodiak economic engine with regards to fish, both commercial and sport 2. Analyze fish issues as identified by KFAC. 3. Present analytical materials to Government officials so that they can identify which issues should be tracked for proposed or ongoing regulatory measures. 4. Report to the government bodies, in writing and orally, on the relevant fishery issues as they develop within the decision making process. 5. Provide written reports on relevant meetings (i.e. NPFMC, BOF and IPHC). Desired qualifications include: 1. Currently engaged in the regulatory policy arena (i.e. North Pacific Fisheries, BOF, and IPHC). 2. Understand Kodiak Fishery Economy 3. Know and understand Kodiak's diverse constituency base. Preferably a resident of Kodiak. 4. Experience in analyzing fishery data, regulatory packages /alternatives, and proposals. Includes drafting topic discussion papers. 5. Ability to communicate and explain, orally and in writing, complex issues effectively, succinctly and articulately to lay audiences. Responsibilities not a part of the Fishery analyst position (responsibility of mayors / managers /Council members/ Assembly members): 1. Developing Fishery positions 2. Representing the city and / or borough with regards to policy positions at BOF, IPHC, NPFMC, and Congress 3. Communicating with decision makers (Commissioner of Fish and Game, Governor of Alaska, Alaska Congressional delegation, voting members of regulatory bodies)
