MEMO:
TO: City Council
FROM: Rick Koch, City Manager
DATE: September 24, 2015
SUBJECT: Resolution 2015 -52, Adopting the City of Kenai Capital
Improvement Plan Priority Lists for State Funding Requests for the
Fiscal Year 2017
The purpose of this correspondence is to recommend Council approval of the above referenced
resolution. Each year it is necessary for the City to submit its capital requests to the Governor's
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in advance of the Governor establishing the Capital
Budget.
Assuming Council adoption, I will submit our recommendations to the OMB by the end of
October. The OMB begins assembling and considering the Governor's Capital Budget shortly
after the first of November. The Governor's Capital Budget is generally released in mid -
December, and it becomes increasingly difficult after the middle of November to have requests
considered.
Thank you for your attention in this matter. If you have any questions, please contact me at
your convenience.
