Office of the Mayor Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska DECLARING UNITED STATES COAST GUARD "WE APPLAUD YOU" DAY WHEREAS, the citizens of Kodiak wish to acknowledge and honor the men and women of the United States Coast Guard; and WHEREAS, members of the Coast Guard are our friends and neighbors who contribute their time and talents to the well-being of our community; and WHEREAS, we are deeply grateful to the men and women of the Coast Guard and their families for their sacrifices and devotion to duty, which preserve the safety of our fishermen and boating public; and WHEREAS, the Kodiak community will gather on February 20, 2026, to honor all members of the Coast Guard and their families. NOW, THEREFORE, I, Jared Griffin, Mayor of the Kodiak Island Borough do hereby proclaim February 20, 2026, as UNITED STATES COAST GUARD "WE APPLAUD YOU" DAY in Kodiak and urge citizens to recognize our Coast Guard community for their individual and collective efforts in making Kodiak and all the navigable waters of Alaska a safer and better place to live, work, and play.

KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH STAFF REPORT FEBRUARY 12, 2026 ASSEMBLY SPECIAL MEETING D�1 SUBJECT: Ordinance No. FY2026-19, Amending The Kodiak Island Borough Code Of Ordinances Title 3 Revenue And Finance Chapter 3.15 Public Finance — Budget Section 3.50.030 Budget And Capital Program To Change The Budget And Capital Program Submittal Date ORIGINATOR: Aimee Williams, Borough Manager RECOMMENDATION: Move to advance Ordinance No. FY2026-19 to public hearing at the next regular meeting of the Assembly. DISCUSSION: This change is meant to improve the borough's budgeting process. Under the current timeline, service area budgets are due to the Clerks just one day before the full budget is due to the Assembly, while the school district's funding request is not submitted to the Borough until 30 days after the manager must present the overall budget to the Assembly. These misaligned deadlines make it difficult for staff to accurately incorporate all required information and present a compete budget on time. The proposed update revises the staff submission deadline to the Assembly and removes the requirement to include the school district's funding request in the borough budget and budget message. This will give staff additional time and flexibility to prepare a more complete, accurate, and workable operating budget and capital plan.

KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH STAFF REPORT FEBRUARY 12, 2026 ASSEMBLY SPECIAL MEETING D-1 - (�r SUBJECT: Approval Of A Letter Of Support For The Recertification Of Prince William Sound Regional Citizens' Advisory Council (PWSRCAC) ORIGINATOR: Nova M. Javier, MMC, Borough Clerk RECOMMENDATION: Move to approve the letter of support for the recertification of Prince William Sound Regional Citizens' Advisory Council. DISCUSSION: This letter is in support of the recertification submitted by the Prince William Sound Regional Citizen's Advisory Council (PWSRCAC). The Coast Guard seeks comments on the application for recertification submitted by the Prince William Sound Regional Citizen's Advisory Council (PWSRCAC) from March 1, 2025, through February 28, 2026. Under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90), the Coast Guard may certify on an annual basis, the PWSRCAC. This advisory group monitors the activities of terminal facilities and crude oil tankers under the Prince William Sound program established by the statute. The current certification for the PWSRCAC will expire February 28, 2026.

AGENDA ITEM #3.C. Kodiak Island Borough Office of the Borough Mayor 710 Mill Bay Road Kodiak, Alaska 99615 Phone: (907) 486-9310 Email: jared.griffin@kodiakassembly.org February 13, 2026 Commander, 17th Coast Guard Arctic District (dpi) PO Box 25517 Email: case.a.kuikhoven(a)uscg.mil Juneau, AK 99802 Attn: LT Case Kuikhoven Inspections & Investigations RE: PWSRCAC Recertification Docket USCG-2026-0070 The Kodiak Island Borough supports recertification of the Prince William Sound Regional Citizens' Advisory Council (PWSRCAC). The council is seeking recertification as the voluntary advisory group for Prince William Sound, Alaska, under the Oil Terminal and Oil Tanker Environmental Oversight and Monitoring Act of 1990. The PWSRCAC was established after the Exxon Valdez oil spill and has worked diligently for the past 35 years to fulfill its mission: citizens promoting the environmentally safe operation of the Alyeska terminal and associated tankers. We support recertification of the PWSRCAC as the citizens' advisory group for Prince William Sound. The Kodiak Island Borough has found the Council, as required by the act, to be very responsive and competent in carrying out its duties and responsibilities like the ones enumerated below: Monitoring Weather in Prince William Sound: The Council maintains two weather buoys in Port Valdez, which have been collecting data for six years: one near the Valdez Marine Terminal, the other near the Valdez Duck Flats. The Valdez Duck Flats weather buoy was pushed off station by ice in February 2025, and plans are under way to relocate it. These buoys improve understanding of weather conditions in Port Valdez that could affect marine vessel safety and movement of spilled oil, as well as help with decisions regarding the timing of protecting environmentally sensitive sites in the area. The Council works with the Alaska Ocean Observing System and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's PORTS° (Physical Oceanographic Real Time System) to share the data collected by these buoys. Marine Weather and Ocean Observing for Tanker Safety and Spill Readiness. Marine weather and ocean observing are foundational to both spill prevention and response readiness. PWSRCAC maintains two Port Valdez weather buoys (one near the Valdez Marine Terminal and one near the Valdez Duck Flats) that have been collecting data for six years; after ice pushed the Duck Flats buoy off -station in February 2025, the Council has been working to relocate it and restore coverage. Data from these buoys, shared through the Alaska Ocean Observing System and NOAA's PORTS@ (Physical Oceanographic Real Time System), improves real-time understanding of conditions that affect tanker safety, the likely movement of spilled oil, and the timing of protecting environmentally sensitive sites. At the Gulf of Alaska scale, the Council has also Page 11 of 28 Approval Of A Letter Of Support For The Recertification Of Prince Willia... AGENDA ITEM #3.C. Letter to 1711 Coast Guard District PWS RCAC Recertification Page 2 of 3 February 13, 2026 advocated for adequate funding for NOAA's National Data Buoy Center to reduce outages at critical stations such as Seal Rocks (Station 46061), whose wind and wave data are the primary inputs the U.S. Coast Guard uses for navigation -safety decisions for outbound laden oil tankers. Council staff supported and provided testimony for an Alaska Legislature joint resolution, passed in spring 2025, urging Congress and NOAA to address persistent buoy outages; as of June 2025, the Seal Rocks buoy and others in the region had been repaired or replaced and were operating properly. • Protecting Alyeska Contracted Fishing Vessel Response Program: The Council participated in a workgroup that helped develop a legislative solution to allow the current fleet of vessels contracted by Alyeska's Ship Escort Response Vessel System, or SERVS, to remain in their spill prevention and response system. This legislative solution was included in the new National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) passed by Congress in 2025. For context, in 2023, the U.S. Coast Guard issued a Work Instruction requiring Certificates of Inspection for vessels that tow boom and other response equipment during oil spill drills and actual incidents. This Work Instruction was issued in response to a provision in the 2023 NDAA. Unfortunately, the Work Instruction applied to the fleet of uninspected vessels contracted by SERVS. Most of these vessels were built for purposes other than oil spill response, such as commercial fishing. If implemented, these inspections would pose significant challenges, potentially delaying a response. Additionally, many of the vessels have not been subject to this type of inspection before and the modifications needed to be issued a Certificate of Inspection would likely exclude many from the SERVS program altogether. One of the most important lessons from the Exxon Valdez oil spill was that local fishing crews not only help with a quick response but also provide important local knowledge and skills. The SERVS contracted fishing vessel program forms the backbone of the oil spill response system in Prince William Sound. If another real event were to occur, Alaska's fishing crews are ready to respond. • Ensuring the Adequacy of Secondary Containment Liners: The crude oil storage tanks at the Valdez Marine Terminal are required to maintain secondary containment systems to protect ground and surface water from contamination in the event of an oil spill. Part of those systems is a liner that is supposed to hold spilled oil until it can be detected and cleaned up. Investigations from 2014-2017 showed that there were cracks and holes in the liner, indicating it may not prevent ground and surface water contamination if a spill occurred from one of the large crude tanks. The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) recently requested that Alyeska select a method to test the integrity of the liner. In early 2025, the Council released a report summarizing the findings from and providing recommendations on a liner testing pilot study Alyeska conducted in July 2024. Subsequently, in August 2025, Alyeska announced they were changing to a new testing method. The Council has enlisted technical experts to review this new information and continues to coordinate with Alyeska and the City of Valdez as part of the ADEC's established confer process as this issue moves forward. • Monitoring of Cleanup Drills and Spill Response: PWSRCAC devotes considerable effort to monitoring drills, exercises, and training events, as well as the responses to actual incidents, which fortunately are relatively rare in Prince William Sound. Staff often participate as members of drill planning teams along with ADEC, USCG, and industry. Drill monitoring reports are prepared by staff and contractors. When significant spills occur, Page 12 of 28 Approval Of A Letter Of Support For The Recertification Of Prince Willia... AGENDA ITEM #3.C. Letter to 1711 Coast Guard District PWS RCAC Recertification Page 3 of 3 February 13, 2026 Council staff, Board members, and volunteers work with Alyeska staff to understand why they occurred and how Alyeska would prevent similar incidents in the future. PWSRCAC works with industry and regulators to ensure response readiness, evaluate risks, and propose solutions. We hope you will recertify PWSRCAC as the citizens' advisory group for Prince William Sound. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (907) 942-1903.
