Borough Boundary
Committee Report
Ready To Submit
The Boundary Committee report
of the Kodiak Island Borough Study
Group has been released “with
very little likelihood that any al
terations to its present form would
be made between now and the date
of its final submission on March
12,” according to Chairman James
R. Barr.
Members of the committee, be
sides Barr, are: DeWitt Fields,
Harry Felton, Carl Rodli, Charles
Edris and Connie Dandeneau.
Following are pertinent portions
of the report:
“A boundary committee has held
two long meetings and has consid
ered the points of: 1. Population 2.
Geography 3. Economy 4. Trans
portation and 5. Miscellaneous
other factors. From this study we
have drawn up a boundary recom
mendation for either a borough or
limited annexation.” (A map of the
proposed boundaries has been pub
lished in a recent issue of the
Mirror).
“As required by State law the
population of the area proposed
for incorporation shall be interre
lated and integrated as to its so
cial, cultural, and economic activ
ities. The area proposed meets this
requirement since socially, cul
turallly anud economically its ac
tivities are centered in the city of
Kodiak and to some extent to the
adjoining Naval Base. The popula
ion is large enough (4,000) to un
dertake the operation of an or
ganized borough government. In
clusion of a larger area such as the
town of Ouzinki or the ranching
area beyond the Naval Base would
not meet these requirements since
the social, cultural, and economic
activities of these areas are not
centered in the city of Kodiak. In
the case of the villages they are
centered around the fishing indus
try in that local area, whereas in
the case of the area beyond the
base the center of interest is the
military activities either on he
Naval Base or at Chiniak.
LIMIT BOUNDARIES
“The geography of the area pro
vides limiting boundaries for the
proposed borough. On two sides
of this limit, the ocean; on a third
side, the U.S. Naval Base, and the
fourth side a range of low moun
tains and hills that will not be suit
able for settlement in the foresee
able future.
“The area proposed definitely
encompasses a single trade area
and has the human and financial
resources needed to provide an ad
equate level of governmental serv
ices.
“The transportation facilities of
the area are reasonably unified,
consisting primarily of existing
and planned roads and highways.
The road system now occupies the
area from the Naval Base to Spru. e
Cape only, but proposed state
roads wil run to the north end of
the borough to Otmoloi Point and
to Near Island. Twice daily boat
service is currently available to
virtually any beach area in the
borough. It is felt this provides as
unified a transportaton net as can
be expected under existing condi
tions.
BOUNDARY REASONS
“Miscellaneous reasons for draw
ing the boundaries as shown were
that the major portion of the re
mainnig Island, outside of the Ko
diak Wildlife Refuge, is held under
20 year grazing leases from the Bu
reau of Land Management and is
therefore virtually untaxable; as
an example of this, the area pres
ently included within this school
district, but beyond recommended
borough district, paid only $147.00

in total taxes in 1961 to the school
district. Very little service could
be provided for this small amount
of tax. *
“Long Island was excluded from
the present boundary because it :s
uninhabitated and also held under
a 20 year grazing lease. The area
included in the proposed borough
should encompass the area in which
the city of Kodiak will logically ex
pand mi the next 15 to 20 years,
therefore, this area should be in
cluded in a borough so that ade
quate planning and zoning can fee
done at this time. In the event that
our present estimate of growth
proves too consservative there is
no reason why additional areas
cannot be annexed at a later date.”
