CONSIDERATION OF MATTERS IN THE CALL FOR THE SPECIAL MEETING
A. Resolution No. FY2012 -08 Designating State of Alaska Department of Environmental
Conservation (ADEC) Grant Funds for the Project Entitled "Kodiak Landfill Lateral
Expansion Project as the Number One Local State Funding Priority for Fiscal Year 2013.
Kaplan moved to adopt Resolution No. FY2012 -08.
Kodiak's current permitted landfill was estimated to reach its capacity in 2014. Expansion of the
landfill required meeting new regulations mandated by Alaska Department of Environmental
Conservation (ADEC) including construction of an impermeable liner to capture all leachate for
processing. The new rules gave rise to much higher construction costs which created the need
for increasing the revenues of the enterprise fund.
ADEC provided a competitive Municipal Matching Grant program for such projects. If awarded
this grant would serve to reduce the amount of revenue needed to cover construction costs for
this project. Engineering and Facilities staff worked closely with ADEC to assure that the Kodiak
Landfill Lateral Expansion Project qualifies for consideration for this funding. In order to qualify
for the grant the municipality needed to list this project as the number one local state funding
priority. The deadline for submission of this resolution to ADEC was August 26, 2011.
