AGENDA ITEMS
a. Borough Updates
Automatic Transfer Switch Design Update
Codi Allen relayed to the board that ARB (Architectural Review Board) had reviewed
and approved the 35% ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) drawings. Staff reviewed a
request to expand the project footprint for future development and determined the
planned expansion remains appropriate. Discussion continued regarding fixed versus
portable load bank options. Both options remain under evaluation pending further
design development. The design team is moving towards a 65% design submission,
which will provide more information about the load bank options. It was decided that the
95% design submission would be foregone and would instead move straight towards
100% design submission.
Reverse Osmosis (RO) & Steam Generator Design Update
Codi Allen updated the board that concerns were identified regarding compatibility
between the proposed RO/Steam generator and the hospital's existing sterilization
equipment. As a result, design work has been paused pending further evaluation.
Tyler Steele with Providence provided an update that a system -wide sterilization service
assessment is underway, with a facility evaluation scheduled for August 3. The
assessment will provide further direction regarding the RO & Steam Generator project.
It was discussed that the existing design contract may need to be terminated and
redesigned to accommodate revised project requirements, depending on what the
assessment provides.

b. Providence Updates
Tyler Steele provided updates about reviewing the hospital's project processes and how
they're managing those projects and deliverables for design. He also relayed to the
board about the ROM (Rough Order of Magnitude) updates for the projects being
handled. At the time the ROM cannot be provided but there is an estimated 10%
escalation to each total project cost from 2024 and on.
Staff discussed a new process being implemented to provide better tracking for project
commitments against the R&R Fund to improve budgeting and project prioritization. The
board emphasized the need for long-term capital planning and improved visibility into
project funding commitments.
Tyler also mentioned that he talked with Ted Hansen, Building Inspector, about the
sidewalk at Long Term Care. Ted noted that the updates would trigger ADA upgrades
as well. Karen Stevens is looking into this.
C. Kodiak Community Health Center Updates
Staff reported on continuing discussions with KCHC regarding the Signal Hill Mental
Health building. KCHC indicated that relocation of the project could jeopardize existing
funding, staff is awaiting KCHC's board meeting on July 29th before moving forward with
the Signal Hill Building.
It was noted that decisions related to the Air Handler Unit 1 Project may be affected by
the outcome of KCHC's review and future facility plans.
