Re: Ordinance 2921 -2016
The purpose of this memo is to recommend passage of Ordinance 2921 -2016. Ordinance 2921-
2016 will appropriate funds for design of repairs to the Kenai City Dock. The dock sustained
damage during the January 24, 2016, magnitude 7.1 earthquake that hit the Cook Inlet Region. A
claim has been filed with the City's insurance company for damage related to the quake.
A damage assessment was completed and it was determined that some damage to the dock was
likely caused by the quake and other damage was a result of age and use. The report did indicate
the dock was still structurally sound and normal summer operations could take place. The
requested funds will provide for the design of needed repairs. The report will detail tasks
associated with repair of damage from the quake and from age and use. With this information the
administration will work with our insurance company to complete the City's claim for damages.
Funding for repairs to age and use is expected but cannot be estimated at this time. A request for
funding will likely take place in early 2017 in order to facilitate repairs in the spring of 2017 prior
to the summer season at the dock.
Your support for this Ordinance is respectfully requested.
