Summary
At its May 15 meeting the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly adopted a quarterly budget amendment, approved a contract change order for Northstar roof work, certified an unincorporated community for the Community Assistance Program and advanced several ordinances to public hearing. Roll-call results were recorded for each formal action.
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. The change removes replacement glazing in the skylight structure and instead provides for a closed-in roof solution in order to reduce future leaking risk, according to staff.
The assembly adopted Resolution FY2025-18 certifying the native village of Carluk (listed in the packet as Carluk/Carlluk IRA tribal council) for participation in the FY2026 Community Assistance Program; the motion passed 5 yes, 1 no. Staff reported the borough determined the village’s population at 36 and that the applicant met at least three required services.
Several ordinances were advanced to public hearing by unanimous votes, including: - Ordinance FY2025-17 (rezoning part of U.S. Survey 47-93 Tract E from R-1 single-family to I industrial); - Ordinance FY2025-18 (rezoning part of U.S. Survey 47-93 Tract E from R-1 single-family to B business, to allow reduced setback and use as a community tsunami shelter); - Ordinance FY2026-01 (introduction of the FY2026 borough budget; advanced to public hearing June 5); and - 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).
The assembly also moved into an executive session to discuss the borough manager’s performance evaluation; that motion passed 5 yes, 1 no and the meeting recessed into executive session as authorized under borough code.
