Historical Perspective • In 1986, an ordinance passed to start an animal control program in the Kodiak Island Borough, which officially 4 commenced in 1987. • Prior to Animal Control in the Borough, wildlife and domestic animals were threatened by strays and packs of dogs. • Animals were abandoned at the end of the road to fend for themselves. Additionally, prior to the formation of the current Kodiak .Animal Shelter, Kodiak had two shelters, one contracted by the City and one contracted by the borough. Both were poorly run with little to no oversight. Animals were euthanized within 3 -4 days of intake.

FY 2012 Capital Budget Vetoes: Kodiak projects faired quite well in escaping the red pen compared to other districts. Governor Parnell vetoed two Kodiak area projects: (1) $1.5 million for Old Harbor - Airport Improvements; and (2) $12,000 for Humane Society of Kodiak — Concrete Surface for Dog Areas. Additional FY 2012 Revenue Sharing & K -12 Funding: The approved FY 2012 Operating Budget included one -time appropriations of an additional $20 million for revenue sharing and an additional $20 million for K -12 education. Vocational Education Funding Factor Enacted: Senn'e Bill No. 84 passed the legislature and was signed into law by the governor this summer. A major feature of this bill establishes a new high school vocational education factor as part of the education foundation formula. KIB should receive about $250,000 per year in additional funds. This funding will continue in future years. Coastal Zone Management Program Extension Fails in Special Session: The legislature met in special session in late June to try and enact a one -year extension of the Alaska Coastal Zone Management Program. The proposal fell apart based in large part on the views presented by the administration, and the program was allowed to sunset on June 30. It is likely we'll see a renewed effort next session to revive the program. New GO Bond Bill: The possibility of a new GO bond package for transportation and other infrastructure needs started to receive some discussion behind the scenes at the end of session. While it's too early to know if this idea develops into anything, the borough should be ready with project ideas as part of its annual capital project request. KIB Lobbyist Report 1 September 6, 2011 Draft 2012 — 2015 DOT /PF STIP Review: The Department of Transportation & Public Facilities recently released the draft 2012 — 2015 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). Comments are due by September 18, 2011. There are two Kodiak projects included in the draft: (1) Chiniak Highway MP 23.7 improvements expected for construction in federal fiscal year (FFY) 2012; and (2) a 1.3 mile pathway along Rezanof Drive in the downtown area scheduled for construction in FFY 2015. FY 2013 Capital Budget: Governor Parnell has begun to develop his FY 2013 capital budget submittal. State law requires it to be submitted to the Legislature by December 15. I would expect Governor Parnell's capital budget submittal to be similar to his FY 2012 submittal, although no indications have been provided to date. At current oil prices, revenues should equal or exceed FY 2012 revenues.
