Alexandra Carter, financial and organizational office assistant at the Kodiak Chamber of Commerce, thanked volunteers and partner organizations and provided a breakdown of materials collected at the May 3 landfill cleanup: 5,080 pounds of residential trash, 9,240 pounds of residential construction debris, 1,800 pounds of metals, and 1,640 pounds of yellow-bag litter were reported.

Borough staff reminded residents that in addition to periodic cleanup events the borough maintains year-round options for household hazardous waste and that a 40-foot container is available for residents to use.

The change order, numbered 21.1, was described by borough staff as a scope modification to remove skylight glazing and replace it with a closed-in roof to reduce future leaking risk.

Borough Manager Amy Williams said staff had directed a modification to the design after the architect determined existing substructure support and to avoid additional work that would require re‑engineering supports. \"The modification removes the replacement of the skylight with a newer skylight feature and instead structurally replaces it with a closed-in roof to reduce the risk of future leaking,\" Williams said.

Assembly members asked whether the original user assumptions for the building—made when the facility was a school—still applied now that the building’s future use is uncertain. One assembly member said several members were concerned about the construction cost implications and whether the borough should wait to finalize a design until the building’s long-term use is decided. Staff and the architect told the assembly the proposed change minimizes additional structural work and avoids inserting new interior supports that could be costly.

Assemblymember comments also noted that the engineering cost in question was a small percentage of the overall construction cost; however, the construction estimates were not before the assembly at this meeting. Following discussion, the motion to authorize the manager to execute the change order with Jensen Yerba Wall passed by roll call with all recorded votes in the affirmative.

Staff said the change order covers design and structural engineering only; any construction contract to implement the roof changes will return to the assembly for approval and budget authorization.","The assembly approved a change order to retain structural engineering for the Northstar roof and skylight project. Assembly members raised questions about future use of the former school building and the likely construction costs beyond the engineering amendment.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6555966,"Kodiak Island Borough Assembly: key motions, votes and outcomes from May 15, 2025 meeting",107,3087000,3194000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3335822-2ead79f40aef2244969a636103a2829f&start=3087&end=3194","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3335822-2ead79f40aef2244969a636103a2829f/thumbnail_3087000.jpg","/articles/6555966/Kodiak-Island-Borough/Alaska/Kodiak-Island-Borough-Assembly-key-motions-votes-and-outcomes-from-May-15-2025-meeting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6555966-765844932c55288f5e7589b4c14be508/orig.mp4?Expires=1771175248&Signature=QaUk8Q-wvm8U6z-Z0nwv1rXGg~4TkHNkhrXcf~mYprFkqb2ESQ7ms4q~Gy8UF7cF1B71xYoTWPicJsTK8X8dFFK9nZohPwp1H9nl~bVml22LA88dy4paKEYg5WZOcCQHGgEEF8zjvXN2I73CHdE7zNpZki6c5amz7KDcYhfTQgHfMylZ-TXh-uhQpitcKTwvCAjweDqSEsZ67LmZOq-ofWWbTOe0ZolcVXzBDtDKiJEwB5lCfTg2Lp5GOQfpKr4dkb2XBMpEfLmWft7VO53bACw9JMcHKfVdaMh2w-5dFlzBMs7D-UUTOGlI7JRHaN8mBfAMFoWicg4-aPhztS8t~Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Kodiak Island Borough Assembly voted on several formal items at its May 15, 2025 regular meeting, adopting a quarterly budget amendment, approving a structural design change order for the Northstar roof and skylight project, certifying the native village of Carluk for the state Community Assistance Program and advancing multiple ordinances to public hearing.

The assembly adopted Ordinance FY2025-02b, a quarterly budget amendment that moves funds among general, capital projects and renewal/replacement accounts, by roll-call vote (5 yes, 1 no). Borough Manager Amy Williams presented the 13-line amendment, detailing transfers including $450,000 to a mental health buildings abatement and remediation project and a $500,000 transfer for Providence Kodiak Island Medical Center elevator modernization.

The assembly authorized Change Order 21.1 to contract FY201910U with Jensen Yerba Wall to provide structural engineering for the Northstar roof and skylight replacement; the motion passed unanimously on a roll-call vote.

- Ordinance FY2026-02 (receiving the 2025 certified real and personal property tax roll and establishing the process to set mill rates; advanced to public hearing).
