Resilience & Security Advisory Commission Youth Seat Application

Established by Ordinance 2020-25, amended by Ordinance 2025-04.

Established in 2020 and strengthened through collaboration with the Mayor’s Office beginning in April 2025, the advisory commission brings together citizens from across the region to develop and recommend forward-thinking strategies to ensure that the Kenai Peninsula Borough (KPB) remains a remarkable place where current and future generations can thrive. This volunteer commission provides the KPB with diversified expert, professional advice at no cost — supporting efforts to improve operating and energy efficiency, enhance food and resource security, adapt to environmental changes and reduce waste. By aligning community expertise with local government, the commission helps shape policies that build a more affordable, secure and self-reliant future for all borough residents.

The scope of matters subject to consideration by the RSAC includes:

1. Divert materials in a manner that considers the effect of greenhouse gas generation that would otherwise be discarded in landfills within the borough to extend the lifetime of landfills and save taxpayer dollars;
2. Improve cost and energy efficiency of buildings;
3. Improve cost and energy efficiency of transportation;
4. Evaluate the use of local, clean energy to modernize electricity generation, storage and distribution; increase energy independence; diversify the grid, and reduce supply volatility;
5. Support hazard mitigation planning that accounts for changing environmental conditions;
6. Improve food security through support of local agriculture, protection of the ecological integrity of fish and wildlife habitat, protection of water resources, and other means;
7. Conduct cost-benefit analyses of sustainable resource initiatives; and
8. Research funding to support the work of the RSAC.
