On Thursday the Kodiak City Council took a step toward finding a different method of disposing snow. Previously, snow collected from city streets and parking lots was dumped into the channel, but City Manager Aimee Kniazowski said a complaint from a local resident made to the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation forced the city to seek out other disposal methods.
During Thursday’s meeting the council was asked to vote on acceptance of a contract between the city and DOWL HKM to design and search for a new location to dump snow.
Kniazowski said there are definitely drawbacks in having to search for a new site for the snow.
The council unanimously approved the contract with DOWL HKM. In other business, the council also voted in favor of an amendment to a contract for geotechnical work associated with Pier III and adopted both the state and federal capital improvement program lists.

The Kodiak High School basketball teams continued to roll over the weekend, with the Lady Bears remaining undefeated. The Bears played a home-and-away series with the Kenai Kardinals.
The Kodiak boys lost by 14 points on Friday night, 38-to-52, up in Kenai. But, they came roaring back on Saturday – holding Kenai to exactly half as many points as the night before. They dismantled the Kards 68-to-26.
On Friday, playing at home, the Kodiak girls jumped out to a 19-4 lead and never trailed in holding off the Lady Kardinals 43-to-35. Hannah Wandersee had 14 points for Kodiak and Carissa Cannon added 11.
Cannon alone had almost as many points as the entire Kardinal team did on Saturday. She led all scorers with 15 points as Kodiak routed Kenai 61-to-17. Sarah Ng added 11, with most of those coming on three-pointers. The Bears defense held the Kards to single digits in every quarter, and only two points in the fourth. The Lady Bears are a perfect 13-and-0 on the season.

Last night the Kodiak City Council
decided to postpone a vote on ordinance that seeks to redefine public records.
Under the proposed ordinance, reference and transitory documents would be
excluded from the definitions of city and public records. The council heard
from a number of concerned community members during the public hearing on the
ordinance and Councilman John Whiddon said some concerns are more valid than
others.

The Kodiak Island Borough Assembly
acted under a different name during a portion of last Thursday’s regular
meeting. Toward the end of the meeting, the assembly took on the role of the board
of adjustment to hear an appeal from borough resident William Wren. The
planning and zoning commission had approved an RV park on Wren’s land in Middle Bay,
but the approval was subject to certain stipulations. Wren’s appeal was to
overturn those stipulations. Duane Dvorak is an associate planner for the
community development department with the borough and spoke on behalf of planning
and zoning during the hearing. He said the commission’s decision to allow the
park was an “after the fact” approval because Wren is already allowing RV use
on his property.
