Summary
The Kodiak Island Borough Assembly unanimously adopted ordinance FY2026-01a on April 16, approving 12 budget transfers and returns to reallocate funds across capital projects, nonprofit support, pool evaluation and environmental remediation.
The Kodiak Island Borough Assembly unanimously adopted an ordinance April 16 that amends the FY2026 budget to move funds among multiple projects and accounts.
Manager Amy Williams told the assembly the ordinance contains 12 requests, including a $92,934 transfer from the general fund balance to nonprofit funding; $120,000 moved for underground storage tank removal at the annex building to comply with Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation requirements; a $785,750.09 return to the Kodiak Fisheries Research Center fund after cancellation of a decontamination project; $70,000 allocated to community pool evaluation and destructive testing; $463,334.94 transferred to complete final payment on a mental health building abatement and remediation project; a $332,354.74 return following the assembly's rejection of a landfill platform contract; $115,000 moved to leachate aeration upgrades; and $26,000 shifted from the hospital fund for long-term-care facility contaminated-soil management.
"There are 12 requests, and we're gonna walk you through all 12 since this is the final public hearing," Williams said during the staff report.
No members of the public spoke on the ordinance during the public hearing. After brief discussion, the assembly took a roll-call vote; each recorded member voted yes and the motion passed unanimously.
The ordinance updates the borough's appropriations to reflect completed projects, canceled work and additional needs; Manager Williams said several transfers return unused capital funds to their originating funds while others provide final payments or allow necessary remediation work to proceed. The assembly did not attach conditions to the ordinance. The ordinance is effective as adopted and will be reflected in the borough’s financial records and forthcoming budget documents.
