Memorandum
Date: November 22, 2019
To: Mayor and Assembly
From: Michael Powers, Borough Manager
Subject: School Projects funded by Excess Funds
Tntroduction
At a meeting between the Kodiak Island Borough and Kodiak Island Borough School District on
November 13, 2019, KIBSD provided information on a higher than expected available fund balance and a
list of projects they have proposed to complete with those funds. Subsequently on November 18, 2019,
the Board of Education formally approved a list of 23 projects to be completed using the available fund
balance. Most of the projects on the list are directly related to School District responsibilities, such as
purchasing supplies and computers. However, several of the projects are larger scale construction projects
to provide improvements to Borough owned facilities. Two of these projects in particular — North Star
Elementary Siding Replacement and the Auxiliary Gym Renovation (old High School pool) — are
concerning to Borough staff for the reasons outlined below.
State Statutes / Previous Agreements
Per Alaska Statute, school construction projects are a responsibility of the Borough, not School District.
Alaska Statute 14.14.060(f) states "The borough school board shall provide custodial services and routine
maintenance for school buildings and shall appoint, compensate, and otherwise control personnel for
these purposes. The borough assembly through the borough administrator, shall provide for all major
rehabilitation, all construction, and major repair of school buildings. The recommendations of the school
board shall be considered in carrying out the provisions of this section." Paragraph (i) of the same section
allows for an agreement between the school board and borough assembly that the responsibilities can be
divided differently, but at present no such agreement exists. There have been agreements in the past that
have since expired, but even those agreements made construction projects a Borough responsibility, and
minor maintenance the School District's responsibility. Previous agreements set the limit of minor
maintenance at $10,000, although the State of Alaska Department of Education and Early Development
increased the amount several years ago to $25,000. Past attempts to complete a new agreement that would
be in line with the updated state dollar thresholds have been unsuccessful.
Timeline
The Borough's understanding is that these projects need to be complete and paid by June 30, 2019 to
avoid jeopardizing future state funding for KIBSD. Both projects will require some design efforts, and
Page 3 of 52

AGENDA ITEM #2. a.
likely wouldn't be put out to bid until after January 1. Assuming the required open bid period and then a
fast track award process, a notice to proceed likely wouldn't be issued until March I at the earliest.
Following that would be a submittal period, and then a contractor would order materials and have them
shipped to Kodiak. Construction would not be able to start until the end of school, roughly June 1. That
leaves 30 working days to complete construction, complete all closeout paperwork, and make final
payments, all of which is extremely optimistic.
To get the project done in such a short timeframe would require multiple shifts, increasing overall cost.
Because the design process would be fast -tracked there would be the possibility of change orders during
construction due to incomplete design, increasing cost and construction duration. Any material delays or
unexpected issues during construction would again have the potential to delay the project and increase
costs.
A majority of past project work in the schools has been traditionally been accomplished during the
summer months due to the impact on students created by construction noise, dust, debris and simple
distractions. In this case, specifically regarding the North Star Siding project, KIBSD has indicated it
would be acceptable to work on the facility before the end of the school year. This would help accomplish
the work by the projected June 30 completion date but may cause operational issues for the school.
Considering the timeframes described by the School District, the Borough should be prepared to assist in
the timely use of the funds including receiving funds and completing projects.
Recommendations
1. Direct Borough Staff to prepare and present to the Borough and the School District an agreement
for the School District to undertake construction type activities as specified in State Law. This
agreement would be a multi-year agreement intended to address not only the projects currently
proposed, but future year projects.
2. Direct Borough staff to prepare a draft agreement that would address the timeliness issue.
3. Direct Borough staff to craft and negotiate a revised agreement to address maintenance, in-kind
and related issues.

Date: November 14, 2019
Subject: FY19 Fund Balance Budget Revision Request
Our FYI 9 Fund Balance numbers were higher than projected as of June 30, 2019. Several factors
contributed to our fund balance numbers.
PERS/TRS Forfeiture from the state $763,739. Defined Contribution Retirement forfeiture funds are
created when a non -vested or partially vested employee terminates employment and returns a portion or
all their DCR. The large amount returned to the district was over a span of many years.
The $20 million onetime grant based on SB142 was not revieced until June 13, 2019. KIBSD portion was
$415,514. Districts around the state did not know when or if this money would be received.
Self -Insurance $2,014,897: Kodiak Island Borough School District (KIBSD) health insurance is self-
insured. Meaning we fund our plan each year based on our brokers advice in consultation with actuarial
tables to cover the District's potential liabilities.
Also, $1,743,336 from a mild winter and other unexpected 2019 fiscal year budgetary savings
contributed to our fund balance.
Always, when School District fund balances are discussed it's important to remember that the District
must keep between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 dollars in fund balance reserves to bridge accounts
payable before receivables arrive and to cover District obligations should unforeseen changes in either
expenses or revenue occur.
Currently, KIBSD spendable fund balance is $6,318,213. Each year, after the District's annual audit is
complete, the School Administration and the School Board review the District's fund balance and the
District's strategic plan and policy priorities. If there is fund balance beyond projected needs, the District
then authorizes use of excess fund balance for District projects; many of which are capital projects that
Kodiak Island Borough as the owner of school facilities would otherwise need to pay for.
For the reasons outlined above, the 2019 School District excess fund balance is substantially more than
the District's fund balance in previous years. The administration is recommending a set aside of
$1,500,000 to maintain an adequate fund balance through FY 2020. Next the administration, referencing
the District's strategic plan and educational priorities, has identified a number of safety and educational
Page 5 of 52
Joint Work Session With The School Board FY20 Budget Dialogue FY21 Budge...
needs that should be addressed. In addition, the administration has identified maintenance projects
needing immediate attention and an important community needs project. (see attachment) Nevertheless,
$1,632,815 of the District's 2019 excess fund balance remains uncommitted.
This year, the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly is dealing with an unbudgeted and unexpected expense
because the State of Alaska reduced the State's contribution to KIB bond debt by about $2.5 million
dollars. Given the School District's excess fund balance beyond allocations for immediate safety,
educational, maintenance and community use needs, Superintendent LeDoux is also requesting board
action to allocate $1,632,815 to Kodiak Island Borough (KIB) recognizing the economic challenges the
community is facing with the bond debt reimbursement.
KIBSD is requesting board action on this use of fund balance as outlined above, budget revision to the
function, and object code as outlined in the projects list.

KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH
AND
KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH SCHOOL DISTRICT
JOINT AD HOC COMMITTEE REPORT
ON
IN-KIND SERVICES
October 18, 2004
Introduction:
AGENDA ITEM #2. a.
During the summer of 2003, the Kodiak Island Borough (KIB) and Kodiak Island Borough
School District (KIBSD) commissioned an ad hoc committee of four members to jointly
review and formulate draft policy concerning the in-kind contributions that are part of the
annual local component of the funding of public education. The committee was made up
of Kodiak Island Borough Assembly members Robin Heinrichs and Pat Branson, and Kodiak
Board of Education members Norm Wooten and Jeff Stephan. Support staff from the
Kodiak Island Borough (KIB) and the Kodiak Island Borough School District (KIBSD) assisted
with research and materials. The goal was to establish common rules to govern the
application of and accounting for the value associated with these in-kind services.
Background:
The need for this process arose from past confusion and disagreements over the proper
method to determine and account for in-kind services. This was in large part a result of a
lack of direction at the State level about how to implement the statutory requirement that
the value of in-kind services be a part of a school district's annual report. The controlling
statute is AS 14.17.990 (6), which states that local contribution "means appropriations
and the value of in-kind services made to a district by the local city or borough." These
terms are further defined as "appropriation," which is a combination of money appropriated
to a district's school operating fund by the city or borough, and "value of in-kind services"
as the value of in-kind services performed for a district by the city or borough as reported
in the district's school operating fund.
The definitions offer little guidance for the community, since, in many cases, a city or
borough may perform services on the school district's behalf that the school district may
not wish to include in their annual report. The cost to the community is still there, but the
school district may not agree that the value should be counted as part of the local
contribution to public education. When communities such as ours reach the funding cap,
the proper analysis of and accounting for local funding contributions becomes critical. An
understatement of in-kind services may result in the State withholding formula funding
from the district. In the case of overstating the amount, the State may take away formula
funding on a dollar- for -dollar basis. The stakes are high for both the Borough and the
School District to accurately report the in-kind contributions as part of the local
contribution to public.

Joint Work Session With The School Board FY20 Budget Dialogue FY21 Budge...
AGENDA ITEM #2. a.
In light of the history associated with the accounting for in-kind services, the Assembly
and School Board felt the need to direct the in-kind committee to review the various
categories of in-kind services and make recommendations to rationalize this accounting.
The committee met numerous times and methodically reviewed and analyzed each of the
in-kind categories. The conclusions of the committee are listed as follows:
Findings:
The committee began by reviewing historic examples of in-kind contributions. The goal
was to review the known history and to resolve any issues associated with past practices.
The following is an outline of the review:
• Insurance Premiums:
Accounting for the actual cost of the insurance premiums is fairly straightforward. It is the
amount of property and liability insurance the Borough pays for KIBSD buildings, vessel,
vehicles and general liability. Since this is directly attributable to the School District's
operation, it was agreed that all of these expenses should be accounted as an in-kind
contribution.
• Mental Health Services:
These are provided by the Borough by contract to insure the access of high quality
licensed mental health services for the students. Historic areas of concern involved the
quality and cost of these services. The committee agreed that there should be
accountability provisions within the contract, but that the cost of the contract would be
accounted as an in-kind contribution to public education.
• Allocation of MIS Expenses:
These allocated costs to the KIBSD are for the provision of hardware, software,
operational costs and technical support based on the proportion of the total cost for the
Borough's MIS department. KIBSD is currently charged around 20% of the total budget.
KIB covers the cost of a mainframe, custom KIBSD software and the proportional technical
and operational service. Based on past experience, it was agreed that the allocated cost
for KIBSD would be the actual costs of direct services, plus a proportional share of the
common charges as a percentage of system time (please see "Attachment A" for current
allocation), plus the loaded hourly rate for direct staff support.
• Audit Expenses:
This item is the actual cost of the KIBSD audit required by state statute. The borough
provides this as part of a master contract with an auditing firm as part of the duties of
running the central treasury. The annual audit is important to insure clear and direct
oversight over both KIB and KIBSD operations. The committee agreed that the KIBSD
portion of this audit is to be fully applied as an in-kind contribution.
Page 2 of 5
Page 11 of 52
Joint Work Session With The School Board FY20 Budget Dialogue FY21 Budge...
AGENDA ITEM #2. a.
• Allocated Costs of Grounds Maintenance:
Historically, this category has been limited to expenses associated with snow removal and
ice control within KIBSD parking lots. To insure cost efficiencies and safety, the Borough
has administered this service under a master contract with a local snow removal
contractor. The expenses associated with snow removal and ice control at KIBSD facilities
are accounted for separately under the master contract. The committee agreed that the
allocated contract expenses for the KIBSD had been appropriate in the past should be
treated as an in-kind contribution.
• Minor Maintenance:
Minor maintenance has not been adequately defined by the State or by the local
government. The committee discussed establishment of a threshold dollar value to help
define this body of work. The committee agreed that minor maintenance would be that
body of maintenance and/or repair work costing less than $10,000 per occurrence per
site. Painting of a classroom in a school would likely be minor maintenance. Painting of the
entire interior of a school, or of several schools, would likely exceed the value limitation
and be considered as a major repair. It is clear that minor maintenance could quickly
become major repair if not addressed in a timely fashion. This would not be in the best
interest of either the KIBSD or the KIB. The committee agreed that an annual maintenance
program be developed through collaboration between the KIB Engineering and Facilities
Department and the KIBSD Maintenance Department. The joint list resulting from this
effort would be prioritized and submitted to both KIB and KIBSD by the end of October to
become part of the annual budget process. Minor repairs that are taken from the mutually
agreed list of projects for the fiscal year and are funded by the Borough would become
part of the in-kind contribution. Major repairs would not be part of the in-kind calculation.
• Crossing Guards:
The committee agreed to not count this cost within the in-kind contribution and to not
view this decision as establishment of any precedent relevant to future disputed services.
• Disputed Services
The committee discussed where the School District and the Borough might disagree that a
provided service should be included within the in-kind contribution as a component of the
local funding of public education. The committee determined that a standing committee
comprised of members of both bodies should be established to review these issues until a
resolution is reached.
In addition to a review of the historic examples of in-kind contributions, the committee
attempted to address other situations that might impact the in-kind contribution
calculation. Of particular interest was the subject of joint use of school facilities. The
following is a recap of one example of a joint use of a school facility:
• Allocation of School -related Swimming Pool Expenses.
The high school swimming pool is used as part of the instructional program. Other
members of the community not associated with a school program also use it. The School
District maintains that the non -curricular use of the pool should not be funded on the back
Page 3 of 5
Page 12 of 52
Joint Work Session With The School Board FY20 Budget Dialogue FY21 Budge...
AGENDA ITEM #2. a.
of the KIBSD budget. Identification of the operational costs associated with each use is
difficult since the utility systems for the pool are not separate from the rest of the high
school facility. The committee agreed that swimming pool operational expenses associated
with school programs and instruction will be funded within the KIBSD budget. Expenses
associated with swimming pool operations not related to the instructional program should
not be borne by the KIBSD operational budget and should not be part of an in-kind
calculation. The committee agreed that the KIB and KIBSD staff should work to determine
an equitable allocation of the pool expenses that are not related to instruction use of the
pool. Funding for these expenses should be provided outside the KIBSD budget.
The KIBSD committee members were asked if the School District believed that other joint
use situations should be examined. KIBSD has the ability to charge for other facility usage
through the Community Schools program. Therefore, the swimming pool was the only
significant example of a joint use that placed a burden upon the School District budget.
Summary and Recommendations:
It is clear that this process has been good for both the Borough and the School District.
Even though informal, it allowed for relatively quick and constructive dialogue with all
participants working towards a common goal of reducing confusion and achieving a higher
level of predictability for KIBSD funding and the budgets for each entity. The discussion
was straightforward, centering on services that are bid or direct cost items like audit or
insurance. Allocated costs were more complicated to analyze. The principle issue with
allocated costs is the overall fairness of the allocation. Issues like minor maintenance will
require continued dialogue and discussion. Nevertheless, a program was set forth to bring
some structure to the process of identifying maintenance project timeframes and
documentation for inclusion within the annual budgets.
In addition to the review and establishment of policy relating to historic and foreseen
practices of in-kind contribution accounting, the committee agreed upon several
recommendations to the parent governing bodies.
• Establish the practice of "calibration" of the annual Borough in-kind contribution.
Simply put, this would require an annual audit of the actual in-kind expenditures. The
calibration would also require that a percentage of the local contribution to public
education be retained to be used in a final reconciliation of the actual in-kind
contribution. The actual costs of in-kind services would be compared with the
budgeted amounts for the year. If the audit revealed that the Borough had not
expended the budgeted amount, the Borough would remit the difference to the School
District in cash. If the Borough expended more than the budgeted amount, the Borough
would reduce the retained funds by the amount of the over -expenditure. The actual
amount of the retained funds would be negotiated between the Borough Manager and
the School District Superintendent. In this way, the School District would receive the
exact amount of local contribution represented by the Borough budget. This process
should eliminate the danger of the State auditing the actual in- kind expenditures and
reducing the formula payment as the result of an overstatement or understatement of

local contribution. The reconciliation of the actual in-kind contribution shall be
completed by the 30' of July following the close of the fiscal year.
• Establish this committee as a standing committee of the two parent organizations. The
purpose of the standing committee would be to review future disputes related to in-
kind contributions and to act as a forum to resolve other disputes between the parent
elected bodies. The committee was of the opinion that the small size of the standing
committee would be more conducive to conflict resolution and productive joint tasks.
Conclusion:
The committee has done its best to address many of the chronic disputes relating to the
accounting for in- kind services that have existed between the Kodiak Island Borough and
the KIB School district for many years. The committee not only reached consensus on
these issues, but also established a mechanism to deal with future disagreements. The
committee was always mindful of the impact these deliberations might have upon the
welfare of the Borough's public education program. This is especially important in light of
the fact that the Borough has reached the State "cap" on local funding of education.
This report is respectfully submitted to the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly and the Kodiak
Island Borough School Board for consideration and adoption. We urge the governing
bodies to include the provisions of this report within a Letter of Understanding to be
adopted by both the KIB and the KIBSD. This Letter of Understanding will establish a
procedure for governing the accounting and application of in-kind services.
Respectfully submitted,
Norm Wooten

KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH
AND
KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH SCHOOL DISTRICT
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
IN-KIND SERVICES
March 2, 2015
The purpose of this document is to clarify the application of AS 14.17.990(6) to the Kodiak
Island Borough School District and the Kodiak Island Borough. The Kodiak Island Borough
provides a number of services to the Kodiak Island Borough School District but accounts for
these services in the Kodiak Island Borough budget and expenditure reports. This document
defines those services and the common rules to govern the application of and accounting for the
value associated with these in-kind services.
In-kind services include:
• Insurance Premiums:
The actual cost of the insurance premiums is the amount of property and liability insurance the
Borough pays for KIBSD buildings, vessels, vehicles and general liability. All of those expenses
should be accounted as an in-kind contribution.
• Mental Health Services:
These services are provided by the Borough by contract to ensure the access of high quality
licensed mental health services for the students. Historic areas of concern involved the quality
and cost of these services. There should be accountability provisions within the contract, but the
cost of the contract would be accounted as an in-kind contribution to public education.
• Allocation of MIS Expenses:
These allocated costs to the KIBSD are for the provision of hardware, software, operational costs
and technical support based on the proportion of the total cost for the Borough's MIS
department. Based on past experience, the allocated cost for KIBSD will be the actual costs of
direct services, plus a proportional share of the common charges as a percentage of system time,
plus the loaded hourly rate for direct staff support.
• Audit Expenses:
This item is the actual cost of the KIBSD audit required by state statute. The Borough provides
this as part of a master contract with an auditing firm as part of the duties of running the central
treasury. The KIBSD portion of this audit is to be fully applied as an in-kind contribution.
• Allocated Costs of Grounds Maintenance:
Historically, this category has been limited to expenses associated with snow removal and ice
control within KIBSD parking lots. To ensure cost efficiencies and safety, the Borough has
administered this service under a master contract with a local snow removal contractor. The
expenses associated with snow removal and ice control at KIBSD facilities are accounted for
separately under the master contract. The allocated contract expenses for the KIBSD should be

AGENDA ITEM #2.a.
treated as an in-kind contribution.
Minor Maintenance:
Minor Maintenance is (1) unscheduled repair or replacement of faulty components, materials, or products
caused by factors beyond the control of maintenance personnel (2) The day to day and periodic cleaning,
painting, and replacement of disposable supplies to maintain the facility in safe, clean and orderly
condition as to not cause any deferred or major maintenance.
Minor maintenance is defined currently as maintenance (preventive and or corrective) work
costing less than $10,000 per occurrence per site and is funded completely through the KIBSD
maintenance budget.
Major Maintenance/ Preventive Maintenance
Major maintenance is currently defined as major repair or rehabilitation to protect the structure
and convect building code deficiency or preventive maintenance (example exterior painting) that
exceeds $10,000 per project per site. The current State regulations are any project costing more
$25,000 could be eligible for state funding (4 AAC 31.900(21).
It must be demonstrated, using evidence acceptable to the KIB that (1) the district has adhered to
its regular preventive, routine and/or custodial maintenance schedule for the identified project
request, and (2) preventive maintenance is no longer cost effective.
The KIB Engineering and Facilities Department and the KIBSD Maintenance Department shall
create a prioritized major maintenance list to be submitted to both KIB and KIBSD by the end of
April to become part of the annual budget process. Emergency repairs will be handled on a case
by case basis and may require reimbursement to the school district.
The Major repairs that are taken from the mutually agreed list of projects for the fiscal year and
are funded by the Borough would not become part of the in-kind contribution.
The KIB Engineering and Facilities Department and the K113SD Maintenance Department shall
update annually, the major maintenance/ renewal and replacement list and a Capital
improvement Plan to be submitted to the School Board for review and adoption before
submission to DEED.
The KIB Engineering Faculties Director and the KIBSD Facilities Director will first work on any
question on the interpretation of this document. If they cannot come to an agreement the
Borough Manger and the School Districts Superintendent will decide any issues.
Deferred Maintenance
Deferred Maintenance is Custodial care, routine maintenance, or preventive maintenance that is
postponed for lack of funds, resources, or other reasons.
End of Year In -Kind Accounting Adjustment
Page 19 of 52
Joint Work Session With The School Board FY20 Budget Dialogue FY21 Budge...
AGENDA ITEM #2.a.
Before the end of May in each fiscal year, the KIB and KIBSD Finance Departments shall
determine the actual costs of in-kind services for the year to date. The actual in-kind
expenditures will be compared with the budgeted amounts, and any differences will be corrected
by adjusting the cash appropriation from KIB to KIBSD.
A standing committee is established compromised of members of both the Assembly and School
Board to review issues where the two parties might disagree that a provided service should be
included within the in-kind contribution as a component of the local funding of public education.
The committee would recommend a resolution to such disagreements. The committee will also
act as a forum to resolve other joint tasks or disputes between the two parties.

MEMORANDUM
FROM: Superintendent, Stewart McDonald
TO: Borough Manager, Michael Powers
DATE: December 6, 2016
RI;: In-kind Regulation Changes Information Update
Alaska Changes with In -Kind Effecting KIB/KIBSD Local Contribution
The In-kind Appropriation counts towards local contribution for education funding.
Local contribution can come in the form of a cash appropriation or through a cash
equivalent of In-kind contributions. The In-kind contributions are regulated to
utilities, energy, insurance, audit services, and maintenance of plant. These
limitations are regulated by 4 AAC 09.990 (b)(2) and Alaska's Uniform Chart of
Accounts, which was adopted by the Alaska State Board of Education & Early
Development in September 2012 by reference 4 AAC 06.120(a)(2).
2014 Alaska Chart of Accounts
012 CITY/BOROUGH - IN-KIND SERVICES APPROPRIATIONS - In-kind services
provided without charge b% the local governmental unit (City or borough) in lieu of a cash
appropriation or in addition to such an appropriation. Amounts credited to this account
are for services that %could otherwise be purchased by the school district, valued at fair
market value and supported by appropriate documentation, including a billing from the
governmental unit (city or borough). The alloxvable services that may tx provided or paid
l'or are. utilites, energy, insurance, audit services, and maintenance of plant. A billing for
uulites and energy is to include the quantity used and price. A billing for insurance and
audits is to include the actual invoices from the provider that clearly shows the districts
portion. Billings for maintenance of facilities are to include time spent by city or borough
employees on maintenance ol'district facilities and the rate for their time. (Required)
What this means for KIBSD is that In-kind cannot include rent, or services other
than what is specified by regulation.

AGENDA ITEM #2. a.
In-kind for Kodiak College- The Ocean Science Discovery Program (OSDP)
The In-kind designation of $96,000 for Kodiak College is not allowable by
regulation. Therefore in order for the fiscal year 2017 budget to be approved and
payments made to KIBSD the line item was converted to indicate $96,000 in the
facilities line of In-kind appropriation.
There are two ways the $96,000 designated by the Kodiak Island Borough for the
Ocean Science Discovery Program (OSDP) can be accessed for the intended use:
1. Leave the In-kind designation as is and it will convert to cash at the end of
the school year. The Kodiak Island Borough School District has contracted
services for the OSDP. These funds will then cover the cost of the program.
2. KIB can follow its processes to remove the $96,000 from the budget
ordinance and place it into the cash side of the local contribution.
Either action will allow the $96,000 to be spent on the intended activity.
In-kind Mental Health Services
KIBSD was able to convince DEED School Finance Manager Elwin Blackwell to allow
In-kind designation for Providence Mental Health services for this year only.
Looking towards the development of the FY2018 Budget, the mental health will not
be allowed as an In-kind contribution. These services can be delivered through the
following accounting methods.
1. The Mental Health Services be removed from In-kind and all other local
contribution funding. The KIB may contract with Mental Health as they
always have, but within the KIB budget only. KIBSD may continue to receive
services, but cannot count the services as In-kind.
2. The Mental Health Services funds of $400,000 can be moved into the cash
contribution side of the local contribution and KIBSD's accounting
department disperses the funds through contracted services to Providence
Mental Health.
In-kind Conclusion
The regulations limit what can be counted as non-cash In-kind and reported as local
contribution. The 2012 and 2014 regulations and chart of accounts will be fully
enforced for the development of FY 2018 budgets. Moving forward In-kind
contributions are limited to utilities, energy, insurance, audit services, and
maintenance of plant.

FY 20 BUDGET (FUND BALANCE)
AND
FACILITIES PROJECTS
Fund Balance
Our FYI Fund Balance of $6,318,213 was higher than projected as of June 30, 2019.
Several factors contributed to our fund balance numbers.
PERS/TRS Forfeiture from the state $763,739. Defined Contribution Retirement forfeiture
funds are created when a non -vested or partially vested employee terminates
employment and returns a portion or all their DCR. The large amount returned to the
district was over a span of many years.
The $20 million onetime grant based on SB142 was not received until June 13, 2019.
KIBSD portion was $415,514. Districts around the state did not know when or if this
money would be received.
Self -Insurance $2,014,897: Kodiak Island Borough School District (KIBSD) health
I
nsurance is self-insured. Meaning we fund our plan each year based on our brokers
advice in consultation with actuarial tables to cover the District's potential Iia'
A'. -so, $1,743,336 from a mild winter and other unexpected 2019 fiscal year
budgetary savings contributed to our fund balance.
KIBSD normally keeps $1 M - $2M in reserves

AGENDA ITEM #2.b.
KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH
STAFF REPORT
NOVEMBER 26, 2019
:t ASSEMBLY WORK SESSION
SUBJECT: Funding of School Bond Debt
ORIGINATOR: Michael Powers
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Assembly consider the following issues for the unfunded school bond
debt issue as well as the shortfall in the State Shared Fisheries Tax:
1. Amend Title 3.10.120.D.4 to allow up to 100% of the excess to be used to pay for
school debt. (Ordinance FY2020-13)
2. Amend Title 3.10.030 and 3.10.120 to allow for borrowing against the Facilities Fund
(Ordinance FY2020-15)
3. Direct staff to leave one (1) of the Planner positions vacant and to use the unfilled
positions in planning (half year for 2 positions).
4. Provide direction regarding the $1,632,815 of funds being returned by the Kodiak
Island School District intends to return to the Borough.
DISCUSSION:
As previously noted, the Assembly expected the Governor to cave on his threats to reduce
the School Bond Debt Reimbursement or for the legislature to override his veto but both failed
to materialize. In effect, the Borough is facing a shortfall of $2.54M dollars. With the
dedication of the Motor Vehicle Registration Tax ($220,000 net) and the budget amendment
to include $350,000 in Facility Fund (Shuyak) revenue to the bond debt issue, the Borough
has a shortfall of $1, 875,390 for debt repayment. It has been proposed that the Facilities
Fund uses be modified to allow 100% of the allowable expenditures to go to School bond
debt, which would generate an additional $417,595 if no funds were allocated to Renewal and
Replacement or Insurance. Further, staff has been working with the Borough Attorney to
potentially borrow funds from the Facilities Fund to cover the unfunded debt. Lastly unfilled
positions (1 full time planner, '/2 year of Community Development Director/planner and '/2 of
code enforcement officer) would generate would result in an additional $325,000 for use to
pay bond debt. Subsequently, two additional factors have come into play: First, the State
Shared fisheries tax will come in at least $407,739 less than the Assembly budgeted and
second, the School District has indicated that they have received significantly more revenue
than anticipated and are expecting to return $1.6M to the Borough. The State Shared
Fisheries tax is a General Fund budget revenue. The KIBSD return of funds was not
budgeted.
There are many permutations of how to proceed with the fiscal difficulties faced by the
borough. One such permutation, which would resolve the problem in this fiscal year in both
the School Bond Debt and the General Fund without the need for the Borough borrow funds
would be to enact the proposed ordinance to allow 100% of the Facilities fund for School
Debt, utilize the reduced staffing to offset the State Shared Fisheries, and the funds returned
by the School District to offset the school bond debt and the remainder of the Shared State
Fisheries Tax shortfall. This would result in adequate funding of the required school bond
debt as well as making up the shortfall in the Shared Fisheries Tax while eliminating any
contribution to the R&R fund for this fiscal year. It would also result in a reduction of the fund
balance for the School Bond Debt by $30,000 but would still be above the $275,000 required.

ASSEMBLY WORK SESSION
Other options would be to use the above referenced funds to address the bond debt issue
while NOT committing to the use of Facilities funds at this time and then re-evaluating our
position at a later date. While this option would preserve funds for R&R, they couldn't't be
used to offset the general fund shortfall. Obviously, there are numerous way other ways to
"move the money" depending upon the desired intent of the Assembly. Since the Assembly
has not had the opportunity to discuss the unexpected funds from the School District, staff is
hesitant to propose any other permutations until the Assembly provides a sense of the
direction they would like to go.

Subject: Please pass on to Assembly Members
Borough Clerk Tara Welinsky,
would greatly appreciate you forwarding my letter of concern to our Borough Assembly Members. I am hoping they
will have it before their joint work session with the school board next week.
Thank you kindly,
Beate Daly
Borough Assembly Members,
I am compelled to write to all of you in regards to the proposed reconfiguration of our elementary schools proposed by
the Kodiak Island School District. As you may already know, last winter the school district held public meetings at each
elementary school campus to present reconfiguration as a proposed solution to challenges faced by the district. Based
on the community feedback at the time, it seemed like our island community was not likely to support such a change.
Furthermore, there has been no more open discussion or information presented to our community about this proposed
change. Many community members, including myself, were under the impression this would not move forward.
I am a parent with elementary aged children enrolled in the district. I consider myself to be active within the school
community, attending school board meetings both in person and calling in. After attending/listening to many meetings
this year, you can imagine my surprise to hear for the first time at the school board meeting this week that the school
board will have a final vote on whether to adopt this change or not at its January 20th meeting.
The lack of information being presented to our community about this potential large scale change that would have
enormous impacts on our famililes is negligent. At your upcoming joint work session on November 26, please ask the
school board if they and the district administration have done their due diligence in engaging and educating our
community and parents before they place their final vote that would have a tremendous effect on our residents. If the
school board and administration feels this change is in the best interests of our community, please encourage them to
make that case publicly and in detail before moving forward.
Thank you for your time and efforts in serving our community.
Sincerely,
Beate Daly
Kodiak Resident
