James A. Elson, President Jeff Murphy, Vice President Tom Manninen, Secretary Phil Morris, Treasurer Louis Bencardino Jack Brown Penny Carter Jim Chambers Kurt Eriksson Harry Gregoire Debra Horne Sharon Moock Ray Springer Mary Tougas Jefferson Trenton Mike Wiley May 21, 1996 Citizens of the Kenai Peninsula Borough: This has been a great year for the EDD! We saw some significant opportuni- ties and took on some major challenges which we expect to lead to job oppor- tunities for our residents. We sincerely appreciate the participation of area municipalities, chambers of commerce, other businesses and organizations, and the interest of the public as we work to provide sustainable and respon- sible economic development within the Kenai Peninsula Borough. When the EDD was first established in 1988 there were those who said it would never work, believing that people from the different regions of the borough just would not be able to pull together in a spirit of cooperation. The contrary has been true. We have all pitched in to bring shellfish research facilities to the Eastern Peninsula, port improvements to the Southern Penin- sula, visitor attractions to the Central Peninsula, business assistance to other areas of the Borough, regional tourism marketing through the formation of the Kenai Peninsula Tourism Marketing Council, and many other accomplish- ments. All of this effort has required thousands of volunteer hours on the part of hundreds of individuals. The sense the EDD Board has is that the new mood of less governance at the federal and state levels will place ever increasing demands on non-profit corporations such as ours. Further, we expect to see the resources of the Peninsula become increasingly attractive to outside projects who view our skilled labor force, strategic location, resources, and quality of life as strong incentives to locate in our area. It is therefore important that we come to- gether as a region to assess, recognize, and develop strategies to take advan- tage of opportunities which contribute to a high quality of life for each of our citizens. We are open to your ideas. The 1996 Outlook Forum and subsequent net- working meetings facilitated by the EDD invite your ongoing input to help us address issues and opportunities. Together, we can accomplish a great deal! Sincerely, -'4 James A. Elson President EDD Mission Statement To Serve Kenai Peninsula Borough Residents by Enhancing the Quality of Life Through Responsible and Sustainable Regional Economic Development The Year in Review This fiscal year saw the EDD program benefit from a variety of new creative partnerships. Once again, several hundred people served on task forces, councils, and committees associated with projects initiated by the EDD. Perhaps the most significant example was the establishment of the Economic Development Center (EDC) through the donation of real estate assets, the funding participation of several municipalities, and debt financing. The EDD maintained its momentum to strengthen the long-term viability of several projects by moving them toward project self-sufficiency. In FY 95-96, funding and administrative support was completed for both the Kenai Penin- sula Resource Conservation and Development District and the Kenai Penin- sula Tourism Marketing Council. In both cases the EDD will remain an active member of their boards and joint venture projects. The EDD has also worked to move other projects along the self-sufficiency track including the Healthy Communities -Healthy People project and the North Pacific Volcano Interpre- tive Center. The EDD's credentials in contracts administration had already been estab- lished when the potential of losing the proposed $2.5 million Mariculture Research Center and Hatchery in Seward surfaced for lack of funding to operate the facility. The EDD stepped forward as the operator, with Chugach Regional Resources Commission as the sub -contractor and funding source for operations. The EDD also assisted the Village of Port Graham to implement a multi -year project to rear pink salmon. The EDD continued to effectively mobilize resources for small business and projects aimed at creating an environment for development. The highly successful Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) leverages private lender dollars for small business loans. To date, 14 new or expanding businesses have been assisted through this program in partnership with area banks. Furthermore, the continued EDD partnership with the UAA/Small Business Development Center and First National Bank of Anchorage provided resources to outreach business assistance services to several hundred Peninsula entrepreneurs during the year. After much effort, the Kachemak Shellfish Mariculture Association estab- lished a growers cooperative. This EDD assisted effort could be the impetus to encourage the establishment of other creative business networks to take advantage of the tremendous underutilized resources available in the Bor- ough. On a larger scale, while the recent industry attraction efforts targeted at the MIDREX Project (iron ore reduction) did not prove successful, interest from other potential developers has been entertained and is expected to yield positive activity. Basic EDD responsibilities in planning, research, and information dissemina- tion were applied in support of a variety of projects of area -wide significance including the School District's School -To -Work, Soldotna's Mainstreet, Kenai's Challenger Learning Center, and an ice rink economic impact study. With this support, local initiatives packaged EDD input with the input of other organizations and individuals toward the establishment of viable projects. no EDD Staff Stan Steadman, Executive Director Sherry Biggs, Assistant to the Director Aleja DeVito, Economist Clyde Johnson, Jr., SBDC Director Lovelyn Bremond, Information Specialist/ Project Coordinator Rebecca Hultberg, Project Manager Jenifer Chase, Secretary Page one INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT "I've done site I The EDD has emphasized economic growth from within the economy, but has analysis for a also engaged in recruitment of businesses compatible with the character of number of the communities and region. petro-chemical projects around Public Works Projects - Since 1988, the EDD has assisted communities and the world.

Bob Braddock, Industry Recruitment - During FY 96 the EDD worked with the Borough Project Manager, and other municipalities in an effort to recruit Midrex, an iron ore reduction Alyeska Alloys plant. After considerable interaction between the local sponsors and project Project officials, Midrex decided to withdraw its interest in the region. In 1996, Alyeska Holdings LLC, initiated regular dialogue with the EDD on the potential of establishing a plant to manufacture iron carbide. EDD facili- tated meetings and research on behalf of the project over several months. On May 14, Alyeska Holdings announced that it had narrowed consideration of sites to Tyonek and Nikiski. A primary site would be selected in 3-4 weeks. Working with area legislators and the Borough Mayor's Office, a provision was placed in the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA) legislation to allow AIDEA to bond for port construction of up to $50 million. Business Opportunities Network - On May 14, the EDD sponsored the 1996 Outlook Forum. Designed to explore economic trends, a product of the Forum is momentum toward the creation of a Business Opportunities Net- work to involve owners and managers of key assets in working together to develop business opportunities. Project Impact: •$10 million in public works projects, resulting in a projected 1,000 jobs. •Iron Carbide plant expects 60 direct jobs in first two of a possible 6 modules. FY96 Project Partners: (Outlook Forum) •Kenai Peninsula Borough Mayor's Office *Kenai Peninsula Tourism Marketing Council *Resource Conservation & Development District *Area Chambers of Commerce Page two NORTH PACIFIC VOLCANO INTERPRETIVE CENTER (NPVIC) The mission of the NPVIC is to plan, promote, and establish a world class volcano and natural forces interpretive center on the Kenai Peninsula which has educational and research capabilities, while providing economic benefits to the residents of the Kenai Peninsula Borough and the State of Alaska through public and private partnerships. In 1993 through the vision of the director of the Alaska Division of Tourism, the concept of sharing the natural resource on the Kenai Peninsula was born. Visible with the naked eye are four active volcanos Illiamna, Redoubt, Spur and Augustine. Kenai Peninsula Tourism Marketing Council and the EDD took the lead in assembling a task force of area volunteers and pursued the possibility of establishment of a volcano interpretive center. Joined by government organi- zations such as the Alaska Volcano Observatory, State Parks, U.S. Forest Service, and local small business entrepreneurs, the task force developed into a non-profit entity with a board of directors. Currently the board of directors is researching facility design in accordance with the original concept paper. Potential site locations for the facility have been identified. The board of directors is working diligently with the borough administration and private individuals to acquire land and establish a facility master plan. With the completion of the NPVIC, communities throughout the borough could realize a positive economic impact during the winter months. More specifically, the communities of Anchor Point and Ninilchik are expected to realize the heaviest impact. These potentials are being analyzed though the preparation of a business plan and economic feasibility study. In an effort to fulfill the overall mission of the EDD, this project promises to be among the biggest and the best, resulting in year-round permanent, full-time jobs. Project Impact: •A study of economic impacts is currently in progress. *The project will complement major visitor attractions in other areas of the Peninsula to encourage year-round visitors for educational opportunities. FY96 Project Partners: *U.S. Forest Service, State and Private Forestry •U.S. Economic Development Administration *Alaska Division of Trade and Development n 0 "This project is really an intrical part of the economic future of both Ninilchik and Anchor Point. The visiting public and our own residents will greatly enjoy the opportunity to better under- stand our natural envi- ronment." Emmitt D. Trimble, NPVIC Board of Direc- tors Page three �! I 'The people of the Russian Far East are ahead of us in some areas of technology and we are ahead of them In others. We can both learn from each other. It seems only natural that the people of Alaska and the people of the, RFE should make excel- lent partners." Bill Stamps, Cook Inlet Area Manager, Peak Ofifield Service Company Page four INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS As we consider Alaska's geographical position, it is only natural to look to the Pacific Rim for new markets and trade relations. Japan - The Kenai Peninsula Borough, through the EDD, has been working to establish a sister city relationship with the City of Akita, Japan. Principal industries in the Akita region are forest products, fishing, agriculture and tourism. Akita is a city of over 350,000 and has a central wholesale market which serves over 1 million people. There have been exchanges from both Akita and the Kenai Peninsula with delegations representing government, business, and students and there has been a joint fisheries research project. The Kenai Peninsula Borough is mindful of its fisheries and untapped or underutilized markets. Akita fishery wholesalers would welcome the opportunity to purchase Kenai Peninsula products. Of special interest to the Japanese is our tourism potential. Talk has been initiated of charter flights, bringing guests from Japan and returning to the Orient with visitors from Alaska. Russian Far East - The sister cities established on Sakhalin Island occurred through mutual interests in oil and gas development and have played a key role in friendly relations which have led to opportunities for Kenai Peninsula oil and gas businesses. Kenai became a sister city with Okha, an oil town at the northern tip of Sakhalin Island. Soldotna has signed official agreements with Nogliki, a proposed site for major pipe line developments in the region. EDD has facilitated several exchanges that range from government officials and administrators to SoHi student counselors. EDD administers grants to provide training of Russian Vocational trainers at the Mining and Petroleum Training Service. Kenai Peninsula oil and gas service industries may soon have new clients in the Russian Far East if the Sakhalin oilfields are developed to their anticipated levels. Project Impact: *Large Japanese market for local products and services. *Participation of local business and schools in $40 billion oil project. FY96 Project Partners: •American Russian Center •25 committee members of the Akita and Sakhalin Host Communities *Alaska Division of Trade and Development *City of Akita, Japan *Cities of Okha and Nogliki, Russia SHELLFISH INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT Recognizing the potential of the emerging oyster farming industry in the Kenai Peninsula Borough, the EDD cooperated with Kachemak Bay shellfish grow- ers in 1992-93 to produce a business plan and a resource directory for the local industry. The business plan considered industry growth scenarios of 120-240 direct jobs. Key steps to industry success included the establish- ment of a research and hatchery facility, an oyster nursery system, a growers marketing cooperative, and quality standards. In FY96, the following progress was realized: Shellfish Research and Hatchery Project - After receiving recom- mendations from a state-wide team, Seward was identified as the site for a shellfish research center/hatchery. However, the Alaska Depart ment of Fish & Game sustained reductions in its budget for opera- tions which threatened the $2.5 million project. During the fiscal year, the EDD and the Chugach Regional Resources Commission (CRRC) responded to this threat by combining their abilities to contract to provide operations support to the facility, allowing the project to go forward. Nursery Rearing of Oyster Spat - Through an applied research project managed by the EDD, the first successful demonstration of nursery rearing of oyster spat (seed) in the cold waters of Alaska was accomplished in 1994. During the current fiscal year, the EDD assisted a team led by the Kachemak Shellfish Mariculture Growers Association (KSMA) to identify a permanent site on which to build an Alaska Fish and Game funded nursery system. When up and run- ning, the system will receive spat from the Seward hatchery, rear the spat, and sell the spat to farms in the region. Preparation of Marketing Plan - During the fiscal year, the EDD administered funds for KSMA to prepare an oyster marketing strategy. A project manager facilitated the legal organization of a growers cooperative, and developed and implemented a marketing program. This project provides valuable insight into the power of partnerships and cooperatives in effectively tapping underutilized resources on the Kenai Peninsula. In the coming fiscal year, assistance in the completion of research, hatchery, and nursery projects will be priority activities of the EDD. Project Impact: • 120 to 240 jobs projected. *Regional market for oyster spat; world-wide market for mature oysters. FY96 Project Partners: *U.S. Forest Service, State and Private Forestry *Kachemak Shellfish Mariculture Association *Chugach Regional Resources Commission *Alaska Commercial Fisheries Management and Development Division "We have much yet to accom- plishment, but with the part- nership of the EDD we have been able to put in place key pieces to a complex puzzle which are going to result in a prosperous shellfish indus- try." Mark Bradley, Kachemak Bay shellfish grower Page five on "We cannot express to you what it has meant to us to be given this opportunity to be a contribut- ing member of our commu- nity. We look forward to many years of supporting our community with job op- portunities and contribu- tions to local organizations. Tanya Norwell, President, Orca Specialities, Inc., Homer, EDD Business Assistance Client Page six BUSINESS ASSISTANCE Partnerships with the UAA/Small Business Development Center (SBDC) and First National Bank of Anchorage enable the EDD to offer a small business assistance program as a designated SBDC Subcenter. The assistance pro- gram includes workshops, one-on-one counseling and project packaging, and borough -wide seminars: Workshops - During the year workshops were offered through Community Schools in the Central Peninsula, Kachemak Bay Campus/Kenai Peninsula College, and the Seward Chamber of Commerce attracting in excess of 400 people. The sessions dealt with "How to Start A Business," "How to Finance A Business," "How to Market Your Business," "Government Procurement Prac- tices," and "Business Accounting." Business persons from the community were invited to contribute knowledge and insight to the topics. Counselin¢ - One-on-one counseling at the Economic Development Center and at the satellite offices in Seward and Homer involved over 200 clients seeking help with new and existing businesses. For clients which had strong potential for financing, the Director was able to assist in project packaging and support in dealing with lending sources. Shortly into 1996, counseling assistance was received for local clients from the SBDC Rural Assistance Director after the EDD's Subcenter Director resigned. By the first of May a new Subcenter Director was hired to meet the terrific demand. Seminars - Two special seminars were planned during the fiscal year. The "Computer/Internet/Communications Symposium" was sponsored as a partnership with Soldotna Community Schools and drew vendors and pre- senters from throughout the Peninsula and Anchorage. Attendance exceeded 250. The "Funding Forum was scheduled for mid -May and involved faculty from Washington, D.C. and Anchorage. The Business Assistance Program makes important input to other EDD programs including the Business Innovation Center, Revolving Loan Fund, and Youth Enterprise Project. It will also be an intrical part of cooperative and cottage industry development in the future. Given the demand and broad geography of this program in the region, an expansion of the business volun- teer base is essential. Project Impact: •Attendance and participation in programs exceeds 850. *Training and counseling qualifies participants to start businesses. FY96 Project Partners: •UAA/Small Business Development Center •First National Bank of Anchorage •Kachemak Bay Branch of Kenai Peninsula College •Soldotna Community Schools *Area Chambers of Commerce REVOLVING LOAN FUND The EDD Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) has been in existence since July of 1993 as a source of alternative financing to small businesses. Financing is avail- able to support the start-up and expansion of businesses that will create significant long-term employment and help diversify the economy. The pro- gram has loaned out the initial $280,000 and has a pending grant application before Rural Development U.S.D.A. for additional dollars to expand the fund. Current program demand exceeds available dollars. The RLF portfolio as of May 1, 1996 is as follows: TOTAL ACTIVE LOANS LOANS RLF Loans 14 12 RLF $$ Loaned $363,671 $307,671 RLF $$ Loaned For: Start-up $97,207 $97,207 Expansion $186,463 $130,464 Retention $80,000 $80,000 RLF $$ Loaned To: Women -Owned Businesses $221,800 $165,800 Other -Owned Businesses $141,871 $141,871 Communities Clients Located In: Clam Gulch 1 1 Homer 3 2 Seward 2 2 Soldotna 7 7 Loan Participation Activity: First National Bank of Anchorage 4 2 National Bank of Alaska 8 8 Key Bank of Alaska 1 1 Private 1 1 Private $$ Leveraged by RLF $960,456 $876,456 FY96 Project Impact: • 14 businesses assisted throughout Peninsula •64 percent of loans made to women owned business FY96 Project Partners: •U.S. Economic Development Administration *State of Alaska, Legislative Grant *Area Commercial Lenders RLF Review Committee: •Darell Jelsma, Chairman, Soldotna *George Stein, Vice -Chairman, Soldotna *Dave Derry, Homer *Judy Andrijanoff, Seward *Jon Faulkner, Homer *Penny Carty, Kenai •Lura Kingsford, Moose Pass "The RLF continues to prove success- ful in allowing the local banks to participate in economic growth through the utilization of "gap" Snanc- ing." Kurt Eriksson, Vice President, National Bank of Alaska, Soldotna Page seven "Over the years the Economic Development Administra- tion has noted many accom- plishments of the EDD in support of a wide variety of activities such as assistance to private business ... We anticipate even expanded capacity to assist the strong local entrepreneur- ial interest on the Kenai with this new BIC in place. The able and en- thusiastic staff is matched only by the dy- namic Bor- ough partici- pation - which, to- gether, should assure suc- cess." Berney Richert EDR, Economic Development Administration Page eight BUSINESS INNOVATION CENTER Significant strides have been made toward implementation of the Business Innovation Center (BIC). The function of the BIC is to nurture small busi- nesses through the first years of start-up or expansion (2-3 years) to a posi- tion of strength so they contribute to long-term, year-round employment within the Kenai Peninsula Borough. With the acquisition of 32+ acres and a 13,200 square foot building in October, 1995, a major hurdle was overcome. The acquisition was accomplished through a cooperative effort between ARCO Alaska, the Kenai Peninsula Borough, City of Kenai, City of Kachemak, Kenai Peninsula Opportunities, and Kenai Peninsula Borough Economic Develop- ment District, Inc. (EDD). The EDD has received pre -application approval from the U.S. Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administra- tion, Regional Office in Seattle, for a $1 million public works grant to retire the debt and renovate the 6,600 square foot warehouse and construction of a 5,000 square foot addition of light manufacturing bays. Renovation will position the BIC to become fully operational. The renovation will break the existing warehouse into three 2,000+ square foot bays. The addition will consist of bays ranging in size up to 800 square feet to allow for business expansion within the facility. Along with the preparation of the facility, the staff has been working on the operational plan for the BIC. Tenants in the facility will be required to sign a lease and service agreement. Services will be divided into two categories: basic services (fee included in lease) such as consultations, access to shared conference room, building security, and a full-time receptionist; and support services (additional fee) such as copies, faxes, and word processing. Efforts are also continuing to create a mentor pool of interested businesses through- out the Peninsula. These mentors would assist the BIC tenants in their quest to become a viable member of the business community. Project Impact: *Outreach services are planned, with eventual satellite incubator facilities. -30 business tenants in first 5 years, with an estimated 94 jobs created. Business Innovation Committee: *Jim Elson, Chairman -Penny Carty *Phil Morris -Tom Manninen -Jeff Murphy YOUTH ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT Timely Innovation - The EDD received one of six $25,000 partnership grants awarded nationally from the Ford Foundation through the National Associa- tion of Development Organizations, Research Foundation (NADORF) to pro- vide "real life" business skills and training to youth, contributing to a sustain- able economy. In partnership with the Boys and Girls Club of the Kenai Peninsula and the sponsorship of a variety of other organizations, an out- reach into the schools began in the Central Peninsula to identified youth participants. Challenge - The project challenge was to engage youth in a creative experi- ence while teaching them how to start and operate a small business through practical experience. Young people who lack outlets to develop concrete skills can be guided by adult role models (mentors) and associate with peers who wish to be on a progressive educational track. Process - Take youth through a series of training and practical experiences Phase I •Identifying a business • Writing a business plan *Submitting business plan for review • Acquiring a loan *Opening a bank account • Opening a business Phase II *Sales tax and bookkeeping Public speaking *Marketing and advertising • Salesmanship Result - Four small businesses were formed: 1) used clothing store, 2) arts and crafts consignment sales, 3) resource manual production and marketing, and 4) timber cruising. Each business engaged in training specifically tail- ored toward that business. The students were the owners/operators of the businesses. The students work skills were enhanced and several students realized an increase in academic performance in their daily school activities. With the skills being taught to the youth participants through this project, EDD endeavors to satisfy its original mission which is to help stabilize the economic base within the Kenai Peninsula Borough. By providing young people with "real life" entrepreneurial skills, the potential of retaining our youth in the community to establish small businesses is increased. Project Impact: •Natural exposure of Kenai Peninsula entrepreneurship •20 students FY96 Project Partners: -Ford Foundation/National Association of Development Organizations Research Foundation -Boys & Girls Club of the Kenai Peninsula (official partner) •Salamatof Native Association (sponsor) -Kenai Peninsula Borough School District (sponsor) -Area Banks (First National Bank of Anchorage, Nat'l Bank of Alaska, and Key Bank) -Team Mentors "Educational experience gained in business by these young people as a result of this project is immeasurable. I believe if all small business entrepreneurs had this kind of opportu- nity, the percentages of small business that fail within the first five years would be absolutely cut in half." Ernie Ramos, Mentor -Small Business Owner Page nit "The past few years have been so re- warding, meet- ing old friends, working with new ones, and having God at our commu- nity table as we work to- ward making the Kenai Peninsula a healthier place to live. It is an exciting time to be a part of our community. Please join us if you can. Call the project man- ager or a steer- ing committee member for more informa- tion." Mike McLane Chairman, Healthy Communities - Healthy People Page ten HEALTHY COMMUNITIES -HEALTHY PEOPLE Healthy Communities -Healthy People (HC-HP) is a grassroots organization administered by the EDD which is working toward corporate identity. It is dedicated to improving community health and quality of life. Over the last two years, HC-HP has facilitated communication and interaction among commu- nity members and agency representatives to encourage cooperation for the achievement of a shared vision of a healthy, sustainable community. High- lights of the past year include: • PATCH Project - Received a Planned Approach to Community Health (PATCH) grant to undertake a PATCH process, identifying a commu- nity health problem and developing interventions to solve it. Juvenile and family violence will serve as the target area for the second year. • Village Fair - Coordinated the Village Fair 1996, a community event involving over 1,000 people and over 125 booths of local health and social service organizations. • Family Resource Center - Received a grant for the establishment of a Family Resource Center to assist families with the many challenges of parenting. A working group is planning a late summer opening. • Healthy Communities Info -Line - Initiated a collaborative project with Central Peninsula General Hospital to develop a community assistance telephone mailbox. • Kids' Stuff - Worked with an existing group to address problems facing juveniles and explore ways to strengthen the community's commitment to raising healthy children. • APEXph Community Health Assessment - Through cooperation with Central Peninsula Counseling Services and Central Peninsula General Hospital, completed a community health assessment using the APEXph (Assessment Protocol for Excellence in Public Health) model, establishing baseline data for tracking community health indicators. • Youth Court - Initiated discussion through a task force for the estab- lishment of a Kenai Peninsula Youth Court. Projects targeted for this year include: • Affordable Housing - HC-HP will work cooperatively with social service agencies toward the establishment of a housing authority. • Community Foundation - HC-HP is in the process of establishing a community foundation. One of the foundation's roles will be to investigate health care delivery and payment options. Project Impact: •Program focus on quality of life improvements, which in turn enhance the environment for business expansion and sustainability. *The health care system is one of the Peninsula's largest employers, with the potential for expanding employment through system improvements. Steering Committee Members: Mike McLane, Chairman JoAnn Hagen Jerry Near Lee Coray-Ludden Bonnie Nichols Jim Clark Gailie Sellung Walt Bonner Chris Huss Judy Downs Tracy Davis INFORMATION The Kenai Peninsula Borough's economy remains one of the most diverse in the State of Alaska. To assist with understanding the economy of the area the EDD produces several publications: Situation and Prospects, Quarterly Updates to Situation and Prospects, Industrial Profiles, and Community Profiles. Situation and Prospects - This annual statistical report provides data measuring economic, demographic, and social changes for public officials, the business community, and borough residents. Data is provided for the previous calendar year along with available historical data going back ten years. The data is broken into seven sections: population; employment, economy; resources; transportation and utilities; public health and safety; and housing and real estate. Infor- mation for this report is obtained from Peninsula cities, Borough departments and service areas, state and federal agencies, and private organizations, and is available in August of each year. Quarterly Update to Situation and Prospects - This quarterly report takes a closer look at the gross and taxable sales of the Kenai Peninsula Borough and the first class cities of Homer, Kenai, Seldovia, Seward, and Soldotna. It also provides an update to the labor force, employment, and unemployment figures for the borough. Information for this report is obtained from the Borough Finance Department and the Alaska Department of Labor and is available on the 15th of each month following the end of the calendar quarter. Industrial Profiles - The major industries profiled for the borough include oil and gas, commercial fishing, and tourism. Each profile gives a brief history of the industry, the amount of natural resource utilized, and employment impacts. Other industries high lighted include timber and hard rock minerals. Information for these publications is obtained from Borough departments and state agencies, and is available in August of each year. Community Profiles - Profiles are available for each of the first class communities of Homer, Kenai, Seldovia, Seward, and Soldotna. Each profile provides a history of the community, population, economy, government, health and safety, transportation, education and utility costs. There is also a profile which highlights many of the unincorpor- ated communities in the borough. Information for these profiles is obtained from the communities, state agencies, and private organiza- tions and is available in August of each year. Project Impact: *Provided valuable information for public and private decision -making. *Publications are broadly distributed throughout education and library systems. Mr!0 §L=- L "Property appraisal is applied eco- nomic analy- sis, requiring a broad study of all aspects of the region and each community's economy and demographics. The compila- tion and inter- pretation of data is a key component in comprehend- ing economic trends." Wayne D: Haerer Jr. , Director of Assessing, Kenai Penin- sula Borough Page eleven "The EDD stepped for- ward when planning and administration was needed to enable our organization to get up and running. Now, the RC&D District, EDD, and other organizations complement each other in a powerful team effort to facili- tate respon- sible improve- ments to the quality of life for the people of the bor- ough. Charles Quaree', Presi- dent, Kenai Peninsula RC&.D District Page twelve KENAI PENINSULA RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT (RC&D) While the EDD is particularly adept at leading regional economic development initiatives, it does not have the available personnel to assist with community specific projects which respond to local resource, conservation, and commu- nity development opportunities. Consequently, in 1994 the EDD joined with the Soil and Water Conservation Districts of the Borough and several other agencies and individual citizens to initiate the formation of the Resource Conservation and Development District. The EDD played key roles in plan- ning and contract administration during the period in which the RC&D District was established. In Fiscal Year 1996, the EDD continued participa- tion in the team effort by accomplishing the following: • Administered a contract with the U.S. Natural Resource and Conser- vation Service which provided funding during the interim period in which the RC&D District was established. • Administered the work of the Interim RC&D Director. • Participated on the founding steering committee to write articles of incorporation, bylaws, and policies. • Served as a Sponsoring Member and Incorporator of the Board of Directors of the newly formed Kenai Peninsula Resource Conservation & Development District, Inc. In December of 1995, the first full-time coordinator was hired. With the elements of the program in place, the RC&D District quickly demonstrated its ability to tackle challenges and make a difference. Examples of RC&D initia- tives included timber resource utilization training, identification of solutions to fish waste disposal on beaches in the Ninilchik/Anchor Point area, training in the formation of cooperatives (with help in the formation of a state-wide wool growers cooperative), and support for a river conservation forum. The RC&D has proven effective in empowering communities as they tackle re- source, conservation, and community development issues.

This list needs to be signed by the Mayor or other authorized person. ❑ FORM B Project Description - one for each project you submit ❑ RESOLUTION Passed by your assembly or city council, attesting that the project list submitted contains the projects the municipality wishes to fund and committing to payment of the local share of the projects. 1 INSTRUCTIONS 1. Use the dollar amount you received in FY 97 as your base. Add to it any account balance you may have. Account balance information was mailed to you in July with your allocation notice. The sum of these two items is the total amount you can request under this program. NOTE: do not request more than this amount as it will slow down the application process. 2. Select the projects you wish to propose for funding and rank them in the order of importance - the number 1 priority being the most important, etc. Be aware that, if funding is reduced, we will propose funding for your projects in the Governor's proposed capital budget in the priority order you submit. REMEMBER: Projects have to total a minimum of $10,000 (state plus local share). 3. For each project, decide how your community will fund your local share. It can be cash, or in -kind contributions of labor, land, equipment usage or materials. Administrative costs do not count as match. Your required local share percentage was on the allocation chart sent you in July. To determine your local share amount: A. divide your local share percentage by the remainder obtained when that percentage is subtracted from 100%. For example, if your local share percentage is 5.5%, you would divide 5.5 by 94.5 B. Multiply the result obtained in A, above, by the dollar amount of the state grant funds being requested for the project. Round the amount to the closest dollar. For example, if your local share is 5.5%, and the State share of your project is $20,000, you would: 5.5 divided by 94.5 = .05820 $20,000 times .05820 = $1,164 PAGE $ 0IF EZ This number ($1 „164) is the local share required for this project. So, state share + local share = project total $20,000 + $1,164 = $21,164 4. Complete Form A. List your projects in order of importance. Make sure Form A is signed by the Mayor or other authorized person. Make sure each project totals a minimum of $10,000 and that the total of all projects does not exceed the total amount you determined in step 1 as being the sum of the municipality's available balance plus its FY 98 grant allocation amount (FY 97 amount). 5. Complete a Form B for each project you submit. Make sure the application explains how your municipality is going to meet the match (i.e. cash, labor, materials). 6. Adopt a local resolution that endorses all the projects, requested grant amounts, and local share amounts that are listed on form A. 7. Mail the entire application packet to: Lena Simmons Division of Administrative Services Department of Administration PO Box 110208 Juneau, AK 99811-0208 Phone: 907 465-5647 Fax 907 465-2194 Internet - Lena_Simmons%Admin@state.ak.us Use the checklist on page 1 to make sure you have included everything you need. n • ; "' 3 ATTACHMENT PAGE �._`� _ Off �- APPLICATION DEADLINE: October 1, 1996 Last date for amendments to DOA December 1, 1996 After this date, mail application forms or requests for changes to Jeff Hoover Office of Management and Budget PO Box 110101 Juneau, AK 99811-0101 Phone: 907 465.4697 Fax: 907 465-2090 Internet: J eff_H o ove r%G ov@sta te. a k. u s Last date for amendments to OMB February 1, 199 after this date, all amendments to projects must be submitted to your legislator Make sure you send this office copies of all grant requests, changes, etc, even after the December 1 cut-off!
