Kenai City Council
Prepared for March 16, 2005 Council Meeting by Christy Miller
HISTORY of Cipy of Kenai & National Flood Insurance Pro ram NFIP
• Prior to March 18, 1980 the City of Kenai participated in the NFIP as part of and
under the Kenai Peninsula Borough's participation in the program.
• On March 18, 1980 the Borough was suspended from the NFIP for failure to adopt
floodplain management regulations.
• On Nov. 18, 1986 the KPB Assembly was reinstated in the NFIP bypassing NFIP
Ordinance -- KPB Title 26.05.030 A. Lands to which ordinance applies excluded the
cities of Homer, Kenai and Soldotna.
• NOTE: Borough joined as a result of October 1986 flood that resulted in a
Presidential Disaster that primarily impacted Seward and eastside of Borough.
Federal Disaster Assistance was withheld in flood hazard areas pending Borough
joining the flood program. Homer joined the NFIP effective 7/17/2003 as they were
withheld certain Federal disaster assistance after the 2002 Disaster.
• At State NFIP Coordinator's urging, FEMA finally provided written notice letter
(1/10/1992) to Mayor John Williams stating that NFIP flood insurance is not
available within the City limits and that Federal financial assistance for acquisition
or construction purposes is not available within the designated flood hazard area
• 9/27/1995 Carl Cook FEMA Region X and NFIP State Coordinator met with Kenai
Planning and Zoning Commission to explain merits of participation in the
NFIP.(after the 1995 Federal flood Disaster)
• 12/20/1995 per Kenai City Council minutes and following Council discussion
decision was not to pursue entry into NFIP.
Present Situation
• No Federal disaster assistance available in the event of a disaster in the mapped flood
hazard areas.
• Federal Flood insurance is not available to businesses or residents.
• Federal financial assistance for acquisition or construction purposes is not available
for developments located in the mapped floodplain.
• The Department of Veteran Affairs, FHA or FHA cannot back mortgage loans.
• New construction in flood hazard areas are at risk of flood damage, and may incur
-, higher insurance premiums if City j oins program in the future.
• City may have increased liabilities
"No Matter Where You Live.. .
Floods Happen "
Would a Flood Damage Prevention Program
Benefit Your Community?
IS FLOODING AND EROSION A PROBLEM IN YOUR
COMMUNITY? THREAT OF TSUNAMI POSSIBLE?
Overflowing rivers, coastal storms, tsunami threat, flood -related erosion, and
drainage problems -- all can result in extensive property damage, income loss,
and sometimes loss of life. Add to these costs the disruption, inconvenience
of repairs, and the trauma brought on by damage or loss of ones home or
business.
If the community you live in is subject to any of these problems, then your
community needs a floodplain management program or flood mitigation plan.
Local flood mitigation may include Structural Measures such as levees or
erosion control. However, structural projects are expensive to install and
maintain, and may only partially address local problems.
Nonstructural Measures such as requiring setbacks from erosion prone
areas, elevating new construction above anticipated flood heights, or
restricting development in most hazardous areas should be considered. The
most comprehensive nonstructural flood mitigation effort is for a community
to join the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) thus making flood
insurance coverage available to anyone in the community.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT?
A floodplain management program can benefit a community by:
• educating the public and local officials about the potential risks to life and
property that exist in floodplain areas,
• providing the opportunity for residents to buy flood insurance, thereby
f transferring unprotected losses to insured risks;
• protecting buildings, equipment, fuel supplies against flood damage,
• minimizing costs of flood fighting and disaster assistance,
• funding programs - loans and grants, even disaster assistance - not
available unless a community participates in the National Flood Insurance
Program; and
• protecting floodplain resources.
HOW CAN YOUR COMMUNITY DEVELOP A FLOODPLAIN
MANAGEMENT PROGRAM?
Each community should tailor its floodplain management program to local
needs and circumstances. The first step is to determine the needs, desires,
and attitudes of the community regarding local hazards. Ideally the program
would address:
• actions to reduce the susceptibility of life and property to flooding,
• projects to modify the flood itself,
• actions to minimize the effects on the individual and community, and
• actions to expedite recovery from flooding.
Cities and Boroughs may integrate flood loss reduction measures into
comprehensive plans and existing ordinances. For example, subdivision
regulations can be amended to require plat notes identifying known flood
elevations or setback distances from eroding river front parcels. Or a
comprehensive Flood Damage Protection ordinance and maybe needed. In
all cases joining the National Flood Insurance Program should be considered.
WHAT ABOUT FLOOD INSURANCE?
Any owner or renter of property located in a community participating in the
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) may purchase a flood insurance
policy. Federal Flood insurance is not available to residents of communities
that do not participate in the NFIP.
The NFIP is a federal program enabling property owners to buy flood
insurance at a reasonable cost provided their community carries out local
measures to protect new construction from future flooding.

regard to using the park for weddings, memorial services,
memorial services, etc. If there is going. to be entertainment or
food, the event should be at the green strip.
Councilman Bannock stated he would like to see a definition of
activities that would be allowed, i.e. weddings, funeral,
memorial services, etc. would be acceptable. Birthday parties,
Kenai River festivals, etce should not be there. Williams
suggested no functions be held at the park at which food is a
major part of the event.Events with food, etc., should use the
green strip where electricity, barbecues, water and restrooms are
available.
Council requested Administration to develop guidelines be
developed for use of the ark.
p p The guidelines should be brought '
back to council for final review.
3-8. Discussion - National Flood Insurance,
Councilman Smalley reported the concerns of the Planning & Zoning
Commission's review of the flood insurance ordinance. Item 1.4
of the prevention ordinance includes much of the same concerns
council had with the overlay ordinance. The ordinance could
limit or restrict development. Another concern was what kind. of
cost factor would it have to the city. An estimate of cost to
the city would be the time. in drafting the ord4 nance:. cost- of
advertisement of public hearings, and the policing of the
ordinance.
Smalley added that Item 1.4 was the major concern of the
Commission. However, passage of the ordinance would allow for
flood insurance to be purchased by property owners. Councilman
Measles stated the same concerns were why the city did not go
into the program in the 19801's. In the recent flood, it was
found the Borough did not police their ordinances, building
codes, and other requirements which they agreed to do when they
began their participation in the flood insurance program.
Williams stated his question was whether the city should join the
flood insurance program based on the number of people that would
be affected in the city in a historical perspective. Williams

added, mo
st of the damage along the River was due to erosion and
notjoining
g
t floodin 8 the program, would the community be
Y
done a service?
Councilman Measles asked if the. acquiring. flood insurance improve
the property owners' situation in order to get insurance for
flood erosion? If they went to a stare company
p pery standardfor insurance?
Meas
les stated he did not believe that there was anyone inside
the city who was affected directly by the flood. The damage in
the city was bluff erosion, not flood damage. Measles added, if
the citydecides to join the flood insurance program, all the
?
requikements of the flood insurance program would have to be
included in the cit 's building codes, permitting processes, etc.
Measles addedy if the city was participating in the flood
insurance program, homeowners may not have been able to build
Y their homes where the are built. If all of what is stated in
th program raga is followed, insurance costs would be cheaper because
g the homes wouldn't be built where they are and there would be no
risk. Smalley le stated those were the discussions which Planning &
Zoning had on the subject.
Williams added, participating in the program could prevent a
contractor from developing property along the bluff. 800key
agreed.
Council referred to the question included in City Engineer La
ot's memorandum regarding the flood insurance program which
Sh g �-�
asked, "Should aftinistration proceed with preparation of.z
resolution and ordinance using the samples as a guideline and
begin the process of adoption? Council's answer was no.

residential classification, it states, "Formal public outdoor spaces (parks) are
a critical feature in this district." It appears the proposed rezone meets the
intent of the Comprehensive Plan. The attached excerpt from the proposed
land use plan shows how the land use plan identifies this land and
surrounding lands.
A recreation area that included open spaces and sports field with an
appropriate buffer from the residential development meets the intent of the
Comprehensive Plan and the future development of the City's Parks &
Recreation program. It is my recommendation that the Council rezone the
parcel from Rural Residential to Recreation.

Dear Mayor Porter and Kenai City Council Members:
As concerned Kenai citizens and homeowners we are writing you regarding Ordinance
Number 2083-2005, the rezoning and planning of a large parcel of land located
immediately west of Evergreen Street.
We are greatly concerned about plans to develop this area into,various sports fields. Our
understanding is that four soccer fields are planned for development in the near future
and that baseball fields, a campground and a park (on Evergreen Street) might come at an
undetermined later date.
Are concerns are as follows:
1) We are concerned that proposed "buffer zones" between Evergreen
residences and the sports fields will not be nearly adequate enough. At
a recent Planning and Zoning meeting a City Parks official was unable to
answer basic questions regarding how large the proposed "buffer zones"
would be. He stated that a 200 feet buffer might be adequate because of
the existing trees in the area, but later stated that there were few trees in
the area. We would like to see the sports fields fenced and therefore self-
contained.
2) We are concerned about increased automobile traffic and foot traffic in
the area. Evergreen Street is designated as residential and is illegal for use
of thru traffic. To avoid conflicts we recommend installation of a dead
end barrier at the north end of Evergreen Street. For emergency access
from the fields if needed we would recommend using Redoubt Street not
Evergreen Street. We do not want foot traffic passing through private
residential property to access the fields.
3) We are concerned that the tentative design plans show no scale of
reference. We would like to be informed and have input if and when such
scaled drawings are made available.
4) We are concerned about the hours of operation and the user groups of
the proposed sports fields. We have been told that the primary users of the
proposed soccer fields will be children, namely Boys and Girls Club.
However, there seems to be no plan to limit usage of these fields to
children only. We are concerned about increased noise level, especially at
night. We as residents would like to have input into any user agreement
that would be enforced.
S) We are concerned that the soccer fields will become "an eye sore".
Currently we understand that the fields will basically be nothing more then
unfenced, cleared areas, utilizing existing grasses and vegetations.
According to the Parks official there is no plan to seed the fields or pave a
proposed parking area for 60+ cars. All of these factors will greatly
increase the dust in the area.
6) We are concerned about the sanitation and trash control of the area.
7) Lastly, we are concerned that to our knowledge there has been no public
information meetings that we could have ask questions at and be
informed about what the city's true intentions are for Ordinance Number
2083-2005.
We hereby ask that you take into consideration our concerns that we have listed
and take into account not only those who are pushing for a place they can utilize
sometimes, but also those who desire a peaceful safe neighborhood to live in all
times.
Sincerely,
Jerry R. Strait and Violetta Strait

For Public Comment for Council .Meeting on March 16, 2005
Due to a family emergency I am unable to attend the council meeting and have asked that
my comments he read during the public comments and discussion of Ordinance #2083-
2005 (rezone to recreation from residential).
I am Sue Olson and live @ 313 Evergreen. Street which is on the intended park side of
Evergreen Street. I also own the adjoining lot on the south side of my home.
I realize that it is very early in the planning for the proposed soccer fields but feel it is
important to begin discussion of its potential impact to our neighborhood. I would like to
address the concerns that I have for your consideration.
My first concern is the proximity of the soccer fields in relation to the four existing
homes located next to the proposed area of development. I would like to suggest that
consideration be given to an adequate buffer zone between the home owners and the
soccer fields. Withouta, buffer the existing trees would be removed that currently
provide privacy, sound and wind barriers. wring the summer the winds blow from the
south and without a covering of some kind on the proposed parking lot the sand and dirt
would be carried toward our homes. Also, of concern would be if ground for the soccer
fields are stirred up, removing existing vegetation, that would also add to the blowing
sand and dust. Laving a buffer of approximately 200 feet would save existing trees
providing a buffer to decrease the effects of winds carrying sand and dust and also
maintain the privacy of the home owners and provide a sound barrier.
Another concern is the additional foot traffic that could potentially develop, especially on
the lot next to my home being used as a "short-cuts' to the soccer field from Evergreen
Street. There is additional concern that without an adequate buffer children could
potentially wander onto my property and without adequate supervision could cause
problems. It is my experience that children not involved in the game or practice are left
unsupervised. I would like to propose a fence along the buffer to eliminate these
concerns.
There would also be less impact to the home owners if placement of the 4 proposed
soccer fields could be designed so that they are not placed directly behind existing
homes.
It is my hope that you will take these concerns and give them y our utmost consideration
during future planning.
Thank you for this opportunity to share these concerns.

MEMORANDUM
To: Linda Snow, City Manager
From: Robert J. Frates, Parks & Recreation Director
Date: March 9, 2005
RE: Kenai Soccer Park
Attached is an estimated annual operation and maintenance costs for the proposed soccer fields.
Projected costs breakdown to approximately $442 per acre or $.Ol per sq. ft. The Kenai
Peninsula Borough's Grounds Division costs for similar work is $.03 per sq. ft.
The Kenai Peninsula Comp. Soccer organization has unofficially indicated they may be willing
to accept responsibility for mowing and irrigation. To date, there remain questions how this may
be accomplished. However, for comparison purposes I included estimated maintenance costs
with and without their assistance. The difference is $3,834.00.
I met with our Public Works Managers (Keith & Jack) and our discussions led us to believe that
the City's in -kind match with respect to equipment usage and labor was appropriate, as
submitted in our grant. However, Keith suggested adding 40% (benefits) to City personnel
wages. This increases the City's in -kind by $648.80. Furthermore, I researched LWCF
guidelines for accounting for equipment and labor and both appear to meet grant requirements.
will continue working with KPC S in ways they can contribute above their current in -kind
services.
I will continue working with the Kenai Parks & Recreation Commission in exploring good
management practices and site plan reviews in order to address some resident's concerns with
respect to noise, buffer zones, and increased traffic.
Over 40,000 local and state park, recreation, and conservation projects have been completed in
the US since the LWCF program began in 1965. However, the future of LWCF state assistance
program is threatened with termination in President Bush's FY 2006 budget request and related
documents released February 7, 2005. The FY 2005 funds are subject to a rescission request as
well. The timing may be right to participate in this program in order to address the shortage of
community fields in Kenai. The Parks &Recreation Department would be happy to administer
this grant for the benefit of the community and share in its success for many years to come.

Memorandum
To: Linda Snow, City Manager
From: Chuck Kopp, Chief of Police
Date: 2/25/2005
Re: Request for Ordinance Increasing Revenues in Police Machinery & Equipment for Traffic
Safety Equipment funded by Alaska Highway Safety Office (AHSO) Traffic Safety Project
— No. 050508 PT
Cc: Larry Semmens, Finance Director
A copy of Alaska Highway Safety Office Traffic Safety Project 050508 PT was sent for your
review and approval on June 29, 2004. A brief summary of the grant program follows:
The Kenai Police Department requests that the City of Kenai purchase a combination
speed/message trailer, which will be placed at stationary locations along Kenai
roadways. The trailer uses a radar instrument to show motorists their actual speed,
and includes signs that show the speed limit. It also has a 4' x 8' programmable
message board to display important messages/warnings to motorists.
The overall objective of purchasing and utilizing the speed/message trailer is to make
Kenai roadways safer. Individual objectives for the grant period include: reducing the
number of motor vehicle crashes; reducing the number of speeders; reducing the
number of fatalities on Kenai roadways.
During winter, poor road surface conditions, the message trailer will be placed at
problem areas of highway, warning drivers of hazards ahead. Year round, the trailer
will be placed along Kenai Highways, advising motorists of the speed limit, and what
their vehicle speed is. For special events the message trailer will warn incoming
traffic of roadblocks, detours, parades, races, walks/runs, and general warnings of
pedestrian traffic.
AHSO has authorized the City of Kenai to purchase one speed trailer with a message board.
The total equipment cost, including shipping and handling is $26,714.00. A 10% match
is required. I am requesting an ordinance increasing appropriations to Police —
Machinery & Equipment 001-421-8064 in the amount of $24,042.60 to purchase one (1)
speed/message trailer.

KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING
MARCH 3, 2005
PAGE 3
The public hearing was opened.
Nate Kiel, 404 Lawton, Kenai -- Kiel encouraged council's passage of the ordinance
as he believed the establishment of a limited commercial zone (LCZ) is in the best
interest of the city in order to develop certain types of businesses with defined
footprints next to residential areas. When asked if he is satisfied a 2,500 sq. ft.
footprint was sufficient, Kiel indicated he believed larger would be better.
Roy Wells, 410 Lawton Drive, Kenai -- Wells reported he received notice the plat was
being considered for Lawton Acres and reviewed the ordinance. He stated concerns
with the proposed buffer zone, i.e. whether the treed area will remain treed due to
Spruce Bark Beetle disease, etc. He stated, though he did not want to circumvent
economic development, he urged council to tread very carefully.
Mayor Porter noted the business before council was to determine whether or not to
establish a limited commercial zone in the Kenai Municipal Code. She added, the
Lawton Acres discussion would be coming forward at a later date.
Wells also noted, the Kenai Economic Development Strategy indicates not to sprawl
out the business area and have some cohesion. He added, if the LCZ can be
concentrated in one area, he would be supportive of it.
Glenda Feeken, 10692 Kenai Spur Highway, Kenai -- Encouraged passage of the
ordinance, stating she felt the limited commercial zone was needed. Feeken stated she
believed it would be better to have a larger footprint size allowed as people looking for
commercial property, look for larger space.
Bob Peters, Old Town, Kenai -- Peters suggested the five-foot buffer referred to on
Page 2, Landscaping, be increased as he believed five feet was fairly close. He
suggested the five-foot minimum be increased.
Council Member Ross stated he understood the limited commercial zone would be
used in transitioning neighborhoods and the requirements are more than what would
be placed on a residence being built in the same area. He added, the setbacks referred
to in the new zone had nothing to do with building setback requirements for a
It subdivision.
Bill Osborn, 423 Rogers Road, Kenai -- Stated he would like the total footprint,
including parking lots, access, etc. included in the information.
Council Member Gilman stated the restriction, like in other residential lots, that 30%
of the property has to be undeveloped, still would apply.
A KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING
MARCH 3, 2005

Gina Kiel, 404 Lawton Drive, Kenai -- Kiel stated she reviewed the information, and
as a business owner in Kenai, feels the zone is needed. She added, her business
would not be well suited to be next to a gas station or auto -body repair shop. For her
business, she felt the smaller footprint would be sufficient, but suggested the allowed
footprint be increased to 3,000 sq. ft. and encouraged council to increase it to that
amount.
City Planner Kebschull explained when the Planning & Zoning Commission began
their review of the proposed ordinance, they agreed the footprint square footage is an
arbitrary number. They used the Soldotna City Code as a reference which allows
1,300 sq. ft. footprint, and felt it was too small. They also used new office buildings
g
built in the city as examples of the types of structures they felt would be built in a
limited commercial zone. Those buildings averaged a footprint of approximately 2,000
sq. ft. or less. After listening to the Kiel's concerns, the Commission raised the
footprint to 2,500 sq. ft.
Kebschull suggested, if council wanted to remain with the 30% lot coverage, a
footprint of � up to 3,750 sq. ft. would be acceptable. She noted, the 30% lot coverage
g
was included because a large lot might be in the zone and would allow more than one
principal structure on it. Kebschull added, if the footprint size remained at 2,500 sq.
q
ft., a developer could apply for a variance.
Kebschull also explained, the referral to the buffer in this new zone is strictly a
landscaping buffer. She noted, the city's landscaping ordinance is limited in the
commercial/industrial zones, requiring a minimum of five percent landscaping and
not specific. Kebschull added, they were hoping to create the intent of the zone to be a
soft transition between residential and commercial and require landscaping. She
noted, the landscaping buffer would be in addition to the buffer required between the
lots.
Discussion continued in which Gilman asked if retail and wholesale were conditional
uses and not permitted. Kebschull confirmed that if someone would want to develop a
retail/wholesale establishment, a conditional use permit would be required and
additional restrictions could be placed on it as well.
Council Member Butler confirmed, if property to be rezoned and included in the
limited commercial zone could be larger than the 12,000 sq. ft. minimum, more than
one building could be placed on the lot as long as not more than 30% of the lot was
occupied. Kebschull added, as long as the required 12,500 sq. ft. per principal
structure was met, plus meeting the parking requirements for every use and the
landscaping requirement.
Council Member Ross asked, if someone wants to develop in the limited commercial
zone and wants to construct a building larger than the 2,500 sq. ft., application would

PAGE 5
need to be made for a variance, neighboring property owners would be notified, etc.,
and the Planning & Zoning Commission would review the character of the
neighborhood to determine whether the structure would fit into the neighborhood, as
well as the lot size. Kebschull answered yes. Ross asked if there was an upper limit
for which a variance could be requested and Kebschull answered no.
Kebschull was asked if the Commission considered types of current zoning to
transition into the new zone and Kebschull answered, the Commission are aware of
the Spur Highway corridor and the Lawton Acres issues.

Council Member Moore MOVED to amend Attachment D(2)(A), changing the sixty-four

"... as long as the footprint of the building does not exceed 2,500 square feet..." and
ending the sentence as "Principal Permitted Uses: As allowed in the Land Use Table."
Council Member Moore SECONDED the motion.
Gilman stated he did not want to establish a zone in which development could become
prohibitive when considering costs for two-story buildings, ADA requirements, etc. and
not encourage development.
Ross stated he understood a limited commercial zone as a means to blend
t' neighborhoods and commercial development; he believed the 2,500 sq. ft. footprint fit
the transition; sees it as an effective way to provide a limited commercial zone along
the Kenai Spur Highway where there has been resistance in the past; felt the variance
permit procedure to be a good way to process requests for footprints larger than the
code allows; and, he would support the 2,500 sq. ft. footprint provision.

Moore questioned the provision in Attachment D, Item 3(e) allowing a maximum 20'
sign height in the zone. Discussion followed in which City Planner Kebschull
explained the Planning &Zoning Commission discussed the issue in detail and agreed
they would prefer all sign requirements to be the same. She added, the Commission
also discussed the Spur Highway and the issues that came up over the Challenger
sign and felt that could be workable. The sign height included in the proposed zone
ordinance is less than what is allowed in the other zones.
Ross, stated he did not feel a 20' height for a sign along the highway would be too high,
but felt it would be out of place in a neighborhood area. He asked if there was a way
to be transitional without having to request a variance. Kebschull explained, it was
suggested a notation be included that if the property abuts a main or arterial street,
the sign could be bigger, but not in a neighborhood. City Attorney Graves suggested
the sign height could be reduced and an application for variance be required to allow
something larger.
MOTION TO AMEND:
Council Member Moore MOVED to amend Attachment D(3)(e), changing the 20' height
to ten feet. Council Member Ross SECONDED the motion and Council Member
Gilman requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no objections. SO ORDERED.

the zone. He asked, as the parcels are identified to be included in the zone, will the

ITEM G: MINUTES
G-1. Regular Meeting of February 16, 2005 -- Approved by consent agenda.
ITEM H:
OLD BUSINESS
H-1. Discussion -- Proposed Soccer Fields (Section 36) Grant Application
Update.
City Manager Snow refereed to her memorandum included in the packet and noted, a
preliminary Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) grant application had been
submitted by the city for development of Section 36, Parcel #4301038. The
application was ranked and the city is now eligible to submit a final application.
Snow noted, a resolution authorizing the grant application and pledging commitment
to the project will need to be considered (a draft of the resolution was included in the
packet review); the city would be required to pledge local matching funds; and, the
LWCF requires the property acquired or developed with its funds to be placed in use
as an outdoor recreation facility and be retained in such use in perpetuity, unless as
otherwise provided and agreed to by the council, the State Liaison Officer, and the
National Park Service. Snow requested council's direction whether to move forward
with the application.
Discussion followed and information noted included:
• Of the $310,000 of costs, there is no specific requirement as to how
much can be in -kind.
• The value of the land, fuel, labor, signage, hydro -seeding, etc. is
considered to be in -kind contribution.
Ross asked to have an estimate of what the Public Works Department feels would be a
maximum of what would be the city's in -kind contribution and an indication from the
Planning Department of future development of the city in that area. He noted, the
requirement of "perpetuity" should be taken very seriously. Ross also suggested a
plan of the development of the fields, etc. be submitted to the Parks & Recreation
Commission for review and to allow further public comment. Porter noted, at this
point, the plan is only a concept and if funding is awarded, then a definite
development plan would be forwarded to the Commission for recommendation. She
added, at this time, council would not be voting on a plan.
Ross stated he felt the neighboring property owners, with appropriate advertising
made, should have the opportunity to speak to the issue. It was noted, an update of
the issue was included on the Commission's agenda for the March 3 meeting and the
application will need to be submitted prior to the April Parks 8s Recreation

Commission. Ross noted, the Commission could discuss the layout of the fields, etc.
between now and the grant award.
Butler requested the projected cost of maintaining the park and Snow noted, rough
estimates were included with the preliminary application and more exact information
is required to be included with the resolution.
It was also noted the grant application is limited to only this parcel; the public hearing
on the rezone of Section 36 will give neighboring property owners another opportunity
to speak to the rezone as well as the project; council already dedicated the property as
"not needed for public purpose"; and, the city could have requested a conditional use
permit instead of dedicating the property "not needed for public purpose," however it
was felt rezoning the property would be more permanent.
Consensus of council was stated as continue with the application.

ITEM K: REPORT OF THE MAYOR -- Mayor Porter reported the following:
• She met with PenAir officials and toured one of their aircraft. She
explained, they are investigating the Kenai market and are very interested in coming
into this market if ERA leaves.
• She, along with Borough Assembly Member Pete Sprague, met with Tim
Anderson and John Duffy of the Matanuska- Susitna Borough regarding their
proposed ferry system. The Borough will be requested to become more active in their
development efforts.
• She will be attending the opening ceremonies of a statewide Order of

• She has learned a restaurant may be opening in the old Italian Garden

issue back to council after the budget cycle.
ITEM L:
ADMINISTRATION REPORTS
City Manager -- City Manager Snow reported the following:
• Reviewed information included in the packet relating to the request for
property located along Redoubt Avenue by the Senior Connection / Palladin Group for
an assisted living facility site. Snow explained, because the property had been
received by the city through foreclosure, she requested City Attorney Graves to provide
a memorandum discussing a process of how this property could be granted, sold, etc.
to the Senior Connection for the site. She also stated, the Redoubt property is the
property the Connection is most interested in acquiring.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING
MARCH 3, 2005
PAGE 12
Snow suggested council may want to schedule a work session with the Senior
Connection Board to discuss the issues involved, however administration will need to
know if council wants to move forward with the process.
Snow reported she met with Dr. Peter Hansen, who has stated his desire to donate
property he owns off Redoubt and adjacent to Woodland Subdivision for an assisted
living facility site. She noted, Hansen stated the city would have to assume the cost to
connect the property to water and sewer. Snow stated, in speaking with Jim
McConnell, the Connection's consultant, he expressed concern the Hansen property
may be too close to the airport to qualify for AHFC funding.
Gilman stated his desire to move ahead with the ordinance (draft included in the
packet) to amend the code which would allow the city the ability to go into along -term
lease with the Redoubt property, suggesting the ordinance be introduced at the March
16 meeting.
A brief discussion followed regarding three properties, i.e. Redoubt (city -owned
property), Swires Road (borough -owned property), and Redoubt (Hansen -owned
property). Gilman noted he had not discussed the availability of the Swires property
with Assembly Member Glick or Mayor Bagley as the process to transfer the property,
if the borough agreed to do so, would not fit within the timeline for the grant. Porter
noted, the city would have to provide water/sewer to the Hansen property which
would be very costly. Snow noted, water/ sewer is available to the city -owned Redoubt
property and it is the Connection's first choice for a site.
Attorney Graves stated he believed the ordinance should be introduced and council
consider a work session with the Senior Connection to discuss issues regarding costs,
i.e. if council would want to split the costs with the Connection (since they would be
using only a portion of the tract of property), etc. Graves added, the cost of the
Redoubt property would be $41,000 which represents assessment costs and borough
property tax costs and added, he was not aware of any other costs involved. There
would be no other city participation, other than the cost of the land. Porter confirmed,
the council would consider only the land donation.
Consensus of council was for the ordinance to amend the code be included on the next
agenda for introduction.
L-29 Attorney -- City Attorney Graves reported Representative Chenault
introduced HB 184 control a municipality's ability to regulate firearms. He explained,
currently Title 29 states, "...a municipality may not, except by ordinance ratified by
the voters, restrict the right to own or possess firearms within a residence or transport
unloaded firearms." The proposed amendment would read "...a municipality may not
enact or enforce an ordinance regulating the possession, sale, transfer, use, or
transportation of firearms that is inconsistent with state law."
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING
MARCH 3, 2005
PAGE 13
Graves explained, his concern the word "use" is fairly broad and currently, the city has
an ordinance restricting the discharge of firearms in certain areas of the city. He
added, he is concerned the bill could be interpreted to prohibit the city from banning
the discharge of firearms. Graves stated he wanted to write to Representative
Chenault and express the city's concerns and ask if it his intent to eliminate the city's
ability to prohibit the discharge of firearms in the city and if it is not his intention,
request he amend the bill or include legislative history in the record stating the intent.
Council stated no objections to Graves writing the letter.
L-39 City Clerk -- Clerk Freas reported council, administration, and Planning
& Zoning Commission members were invited to attend the two-day seminar,
Floodplains: Linking Policy and Science Conference in Seward. She noted, the city code
allows members of the Commission to travel if council has no objections. Council
stated no objections to members of the Commission to attend the conference if
desired. Snow noted Public Works Manager Kornehs, would be attending from
administration. Council Member Butler stated interest in attending.

There are many changes to the existing KMC Title 17 and Utility Regulations. Below is
a list of some of the major changes.
1. The property owner is responsible for the water and sewer service lines from the
structure to the main line. Prior ordinance had the City responsible for the
"connection" (main line to property line) even if the line was plugged by the
owner. The prior ordinance had the owner responsible for service lines freezing
• , from the structure to the main and the new ordinance is the same. (17.05.050)
(17.15.050)
2. The water and sewer permit is valid for twelve (12) months and the cost was
increased from $100 to $200. The City will attempt to notify the owner when the
permit expires. The owner can later re -apply for a permit. If the owner can prove
they already paid the City for a permit in this same location, the owner will not be
charged for the new permit. (Regulations 2a.)

3. When the water valve on the service line is turned on, the owner has to pay the
appropriate water and sewer rates. During construction if only water is used and
not the sewer line, the owner only has to pay for the water. (Regulations 4a.)
4. Property owners are required to contact the City to apply for water and sewer
services, change in service, discontinuance of service or whenever they alter
their building. (Regulations 1a.)
5. Owners of new or significantly modified commercial buildings are required to
furnish and install water meters with a remote reading. The remote reader has to
be readily accessible to the City. (Rates -Schedule E)
6. The fee for turning the water service off or on (except for the first time) was
increased from $10 to $25 during normal duty hours and from $20 to $100 for
overtime hours. This includes water turn off and on for non-payment of services.
Customers cannot suspend service. (Regulations 2d. and 4b.)
7. Service customers will have to maintain their grease, oil, and sand interceptors to
remove grease or oil -laden wastes. (17.20.010 c.)
8. The customer deposit was raised from $20 to $50 for each service (refunded
after two years). (Regulations 3.)
9. Using a fire hydrant requires a deposit of $200 (increased from $150) and the
cost of water was increased from $30/day to $40/day (or at metered rate).
(Regulations 5b.)
10. No one shall inject anything into the Municipal Water System. (17.05.070 i.)
11.24-hour notification for inspection does not include weekends or holidays.
(17.05.020 d.) (17.15.020 d.) (17.05.070 e.) (17.15.070 e.)
12. Water and sewer services may be discontinued for non-payment after 21 days of
notice of unpaid bill. (17.05.060 b.) (17.15.060 b.)
13. Service lines are required to be installed off a main line that is adjacent to the
owner's property. (17.10.020 c.) (17.20.020 c.)
consider the Water, Sewer, and Sewer Treatment Departments as a co-op of users.
Since I pay a water and sewer bill to the City, I am a member. Title 17 and the Utility
Regulations should be written to be fair and equitable to the group of users who pay for
these utilities. I think these changes do that. I received a lot of great suggestions and
help in making these changes to KMC Title 17 and Utility Regulations. Thank you to the
many people who helped.

CITY OF KENAI
PUBLIC UTILITY
REGULATIONS AND RATES
A. REGULATIONS
The following regulations of the City of
Kenai, pertaining to the water and sewer system,
have been issued under the authority of Title 17
of the Kenai City Code of Ordinances.
Regulations issued prior to this date are
superseded by the regulations that follow:
1. Application for or Change in Service:
a. It shall be the responsibility of the
property owner to apply for utility service, a
change in service, or discontinuance of service by
signing a service order at the City Administration
Building, Kenai, Alaska.
b. Property owners are responsible to
contact the City billing department when
alterations to a building would change their
billing account.
2. Water and Sewer Connections and
Extensions:
a. The property owner or his contractor
may apply for a water and sewer permit for a
connection and/or extension of service lines. The
water and sewer permit is valid for only twelve
(12) months from the date of issue. If the water
and/or sewer line is not installed within twelve
(12) months, a new permit, at no additional cost,
will be required.
b. The City will attempt to notify the owner
when the permit expires. The owner can later
reapply for a permit. If the owner can prove they
already paid the City for a permit in this same
location, the owner will not be charged for the
new permit. The entire cost of water or sewer
service connection and extension will be borne
by the property owner.
c. At the time the new service is provided,
all connections to existing private systems, wells,
septic tanks, cesspools, etc., shall be physically
disconnected from the City system and their use
discontinued. All on -site systems shall be
abandoned as specified by ordinances and
regulations of the City and applicable laws and
regulations of the State of Alaska.
d. All water turn-ons and turn-offs and the
operations of the water valve located on the
service line in the key box shall be made by City
personnel only. A fee of twenty-five dollars
($25.00) will be levied on requests for turn -on
and turn-off (after initial turn -on) during normal
duty hours and whenever such action is required
due to delinquent account. A fee of one hundred
dollars ($100.00) will be levied on requests for
turn -on or turn-off during periods other than
normal duty hours. Turn -on and turn-off during
normal working hours for line testing purposes
during building construction will not be a cost to
the property owner. There will be no charge for
the initial turn -on during normal working hours
for a first or new property owner.
e. All customers shall be required to
provide a separate valve inside a building being
served. The valve shall be located on the water
service entering the building ahead of any branch
lines where it is readily accessible in event of
emergency.
f. Each and every building served by the
water utility shall have a separate outside shut-off
valve located in a valve box. The property owner
is required to know the location of this valve. In
the event it is impossible to get a separate outside
shut-off valve within the public right-of-way, the
property owner shall provide the shut-off valve
within private property and execute, in favor of
the City, an easement providing access for the
City personnel to the key box. In the event that a
functional shut-off valve cannot be located by
City personnel, the City may install ashut-off
valve and charge the property owner for related
labor, equipment, and material costs.
g. Owners of new or significantly modified
commercial buildings are required to furnish and
install a water meter with a remote reading that is
readily accessible to the City.
3. Deposits for Service: For domestic and
commercial customers, a deposit is required of
fifty dollars ($50.00) for water service and fifty
FOR � i
dollars ($50.00) for sewer service. These deposits
may be refunded upon request after two years of
timely payment history.
4. Charge for Water and/or Sewer
Services:
a. The property owner will be charged the
appropriate water and sewer rate whenever the
curb stop or valve in the valve box is turned on
and available to deliver water. However, if the
property owner can assure the City that the water
is being used for construction purposes only and
not being disposed of in the Municipal Sewer
System, the property owner will be required to
pay only the water portion of the bill. The
property owner is required to notify the City
before they start using the Municipal Sewer
System.
b. Property owners will not be allowed to
suspend water and/or sewer services. Once water
and/or sewer service line(s) are constructed and
operating, the owner will be required to continue
to pay the appropriate monthly rate.
c. Property owners who's water is turned
off by the City for non-payment of services will
be required to follow Section 2d. including the
payments for water turn-offs and turn-ons. The
property owners are responsible to pay for their
existing bill plus water and sewer costs as if
available during the period the water is turned off
for non-payment.
5. Hydrants:
a. The use of fire hydrants is permitted only
in special situations when approval, in writing,
has been obtained from the City, and upon
payment of the use charge. Failure to obtain
written authorization from the City, failure to
follow written instructions of the City, or any
improper use of a fire hydrant is subject to the
Rules and Regulations and penalty provisions of
KMC 13.05 and KMC 17.05.
b. A deposit of two hundred dollars
($200.00) is required to assure careful use of the
hydrant and will be refunded if no maintenance is
required when hydrant use is completed. The use
charge, which is non-refundable, is forty dollars
($40.00) per day. As an alternative charge, the
City reserves the right to require metering in
circumstances involving high volume usages, in
accordance with rates provided in the rate
schedules.
c. The permit holder is required to use a
hydrant wrench to slowly open and close the
hydrant. During use, the hydrant must be fully
opened. If using a hydrant to fill a tank, users
must comply with State of AK DEC
requirements for a minimum 8-inch air gap on
the fill line. Tanks are required to be inspected
by the City before hydrants are used.
d. The fire hydrant permit may be
suspended by the City of Kenai at any time
(normally during City water shortages). The fire
hydrant permit holder is required to maintain
current up-to-date contact numbers with the City.
6. Common Connections: There shall be
no water and/or sewer common extensions for
use by several properties or families. No
connection or extension will be permitted across
property lines unless they are located in a public
utility easement. Every lot or individual parcel
will have its own water line, valve, and meter (if
not paying a flat rate). Every lot or individual
parcel will have its own sewer line.
7. Location of Water Key Box: It shall be
the property owner's responsibility to know the
location of, and have marked, the key box and
thaw wire for the water service. The standard key
box marker shall be a 4" x 4" x 8' wood post,
four feet in height above ground, painted white
with black top and the word "water" stenciled in
black letters no smaller than two inches high.
Property owners who do not use the standard
marker should have some other method of
locating their key boxes or be prepared to stand
the cost of location in time of necessity.
8. Sewer Service Clean -Out: No person
shall install a sewer extension to a building
without placing in the line near the building and
at every change of direction of the sewer line, a
sewer line clean -out of four -inch minimum
diameter. It shall be the property owner's
responsibility to know the location of and have
marked the sewer service clean -out.

MEMO (Addendum to 3/7/05 Memo)
To: Linda Snow, Kenai City Manager
From: Keith Kornelis, Kenai Public Works Manager
Subject: Title 17 do Water & Sewer Regulations
ante: March 16, 2005
As City Council requested, I contacted the City of Soldotna about their expansion
charges. This is what I was told.
I talked to Steve Bonebrake, Soldotna Public Works Director, about their Water and
Sewer Expansion Charges. He said that this cost is for the property owners share of
cost for such things as well houses, reservoirs, tanks, lift stations, WWTP, etc. He said
that the expansion fee is paid by anyone who hooks up including people paying for a
LID. There have been times when the city needed an easement and did trade
expansion fees in a negotiated deal for the easement.
Soldotna code 13.16.040 Expansion charges says: "A. Minimum expansion charges are
hereby established to be�yeffective after March 6, 1986, for allA water and sewer hookups
on real property," "B. The purpose of an expansion charge is to allocate to new
customers a share of the non--grant--supported costs incurred by the city for prior
investments in plant and equipment used for the benefit of new service areas."
In my lastreview of Title 17 I noticed that we did not allow anyone to put foreign objects
into our sewer system but said nothing about putting something in our water system.
Besides the possibility of terrorists or vandals putting something in our water, there are
also people who would like to inject other things like fluoride. We do not want anyone to
inject anything so I added a section. However, the city does inject Sodium Hypochlorite
into our water at the well houses and pump house.
It would be good if City Council would amend Title 17, which is up for introduction
tonight.
Under 17.05.070 (i) Change [No one] to No unauthorized person shall inject anything
into the municipal water system.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor Porter and City Councilors
From: Linda L. Snow, City Manager uo-�
Date: March 11, 2005
RE: Everts' Request for Termination of Lease for Lot 5, FBO Subdivision No. 8
In the attached letter received by city administration on March 1, 2005, Mr. Clifford Everts d/b/a
Everts Air Fuel, Inc. requests termination of the airport lease lot identified above. Mr. Everts
believes the proposed project is not economically feasible at this time due to higher than
projected site development costs.
As background information, some of you will recall Mr. Everts and his son both speaking to City
Council on June 2"d1 2004 specifically to advise Council he had filed a lease application with the
City and to request Council assistance with site development costs. At the time, Mr. Everts
estimated a cost of $375K to clear the overburden and excavate. The minutes of the meeting
indicate that "Williams noted council's interest in seeing the lease application proceed." On
July 7th9 2004, the Everts lease application was approved by City Council. The lease was fully
executed in November 2004. In January 2005, Mr. Everts' representatives met with several city
officials, including myself, to discuss site development, plans, zoning, building codes, etc. The
high cost of depositing overburden was discussed at length, and assistance was requested to
defray these costs. The Everts' representatives were advised these costs are typically the
responsibility of the developer, not the City, and, secondly, there is no airport land available on
which to deposit the overburden from the lease lot. After exploring several ideas with the
representatives, ultimately, as I reported to Council in February, I requested Everts Air Fuel
make the request for assistance in a written proposal format for further consideration by the
administration and Council. No written request for assistance was received.
At this time, the Lessee is fully current with lease payments to the City. The Everts lease was not
on the Borough property tax roll for 2004, but a tax bill has been sent for 2005. The
administration recommends Council approval of the lease termination for Lot 5, FBO
Subdivision No. 8, including a requirement for the payment of property taxes by the Lessee for
2005.

Memorandum
Date: March 10, 2005
To: Linda L. Snow, City Manager
From: Kim Howard, Assistant to the City Manager 1
RE: Tracts 5 & 6, Shore Fishery Plat No. 71
Randy Canady is the lessee for Tracts 5 & 6, Shore Fishery Plat No. 71. The lease will expire on June
30, 2005. Covenant 42 of the lease includes a "preference right to re -lease those lands previously leased
by him if all other sections of the Kenai Municipal Code are complied with. Re -leasing will not
necessarily be under the same terms and conditions of the prior lease." Mr. Canady has informed the
City that he would like to renew his lease under this clause.
One of the duties of the Harbor Commission as outlined in KMC 11.10.010 (5) is to review leases of
City -owned tide, submerged, and lands or navigable waters within the City and make recommendations
to the City Council. The Commission recommended approval at their meeting on March 7.
KMC 11.20.140 states, "No leased land may be changed in use, nor may any renewal lease be issued
until the proposed use or renewal has been reviewed by the Planning Commission and approved by the
Council." The Commission recommended approval at their meeting on March 9.
Historically, shore fishery leases have been renewed on the basis that the lessees had fished the sites for
many years. As in the past, the proposed term of the lease would be for ten years. Annual rent shall be
$300 for each tract, however, the City may amend the annual rent equal to that charged by the State of
Alaska, if that amount should change during the term of the lease. The State of Alaska doesn't expect to
increase their rents in the near future.
Attached are maps of our shore fishery leases and a spreadsheet identifying the lessees, the legal
descriptions and the expiration dates.
Mr. Canady is current in payments to the City and Borough. If Council approves the renewal, a lease can
be drawn up for signatures.

ITEM ?: NEW BUSINESS
7-a. Discussion -- Float Plane Basin Fuel Tanks
The Commission referred to a memorandum included in the packet noting the desire of
some tenants of the basin to store fuel on site.
Larry Porter, 310 Rogers Road, Kenai -- Porter stated he believed the allowing of
stored fuel, from 500 to 1,000 gallons, will attract people to use of the facility; buying
in bulk will lower the cost of fuel; and, with the city eliminating tax (on the airport), it
will probably generate more interest.
Comments from discussion of the issue included:
• Selling fuel in blocks of 500 gallons would encourage everyone to come to
Kenai.
• Selling the fuel ten cents or so over cost was suggested.
• Concern was expressed the desire would not be to having everyone flying
over from Soldotna to purchase cheap fuel.
After discussion, the members recommended to promote the use of the Float Plane
Basin by offering fuel at an incentive rate and offering further incentive to airport
tenants in the form of a rebate at season end. Exact rates to be determined by the
Airport Manager and Finance Director. Additionally, investigate a new
pump/computers for future tier system to reward tenants/block fuel purchasers.
MOTION:
Commissioner Haralson MOVED to adopt the above recommendation and
Commissioner Bielefeld SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO
ORDERED.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Carol L. Freas, City gJqrk
DATE: March 11, 2005
RE: PARKS & RECREATION CO1VI WSSION MEMBERSHIP
At its March 3, 2005 meeting, Commissioner Kendra Steiner stated she was resigning
from the Commission due to her student workload, extracurricular activity
participation, etc. Attached are two applications which have been on file for your
consideration.
Additionally, it has come to my attention Commissioner Ryan Mills has moved outside
the city limits. Because of Commissioner Mills' employment with Peninsula Memorial
Chapel and direct connection to the Kenai Cemetery, his participation with the
Commission is very advantageous to the Commission and to administration.
Kenai Municipal Code, 1.90.030(b) states, "The Beautification Committee, and Harbor,
Library, and Parks 8v Recreation Commissions may, at the discretion of the Council,
have up to two non-resident members each."
Does Council have any objections to allowing Commissioner Mills to continue
his membership on the Parks 8a Recreation Commission?

MEMORANDUM
TO: Linda Snow, City Manager
FROM: Larry Semmens, Finance Direqlk
DATE: March 1, 2005
SUBJECT: Monthly Report
The finance department is working on the budget as well as normal monthly billings,
payments and investments.
Sales tax information from the Borough shows that 4t' quarter taxable sales were $32.8
million, up 12.7% from last year. It is interesting to note that in 2002 taxable sales for
the 4q uarter were $35 million and in 2001 $36 million. This 4 quarter is the only quarter that is posting lower taxable sales than the same quarter n 2002. Calendar year
i
� high.
2004 taxable sales were $13 9 million, up 14.4 /o over last year and a new all time g
MY budget et projection for fiscal year 2005 sales tax is $4,085,000 and at this point I have
no justification to modify that projection.
Taxable sales around the borough have increased at remarkably different rates. From
2000 to 2004 borough -wide taxable sales increased 17%. Kenai is up 9%, Soldotna is up
25%, Homer is up 35%, Seward is up 8% and areas outside of cities are up 9%.
Interest rates are increasing modestly and are expected to continue trending up. The bad
news associated with increasing rates is that the market values of the securities in the
portfolio decline as rates increase. This paper loss has to be recorded and will reduce interest revenues for the year. Nevertheless, I expect interest revenue to be better than
projected and I expect an increase for 2006. Unfortunately interest revenue will still not
approach what it was a few years ago.

Municipal Airport
Airport Supplemental Master Plan: Next work session March 29 at 6:00pm.
Please plan to attend.
Terminal Access Project: Contractor is gearing up to work on storm drains and
landscaping.
FedEx: We continue to work with several private developers to find a suitable on -
airport location for FedEx.
RSAT (Runway Safety Action Team): The annual RSAT meeting and field tour was
held on March 9. Discussions included required airfield driver training, new lighting,
signage, and communications. The FAA RSAT has agreed to provide technical support
to develop an airfield driver -training program that can be accessed through the Airport
web site. The program is scheduled to be ready for testing by April 1. All persons
requiring access to the airport movement and non -movement areas will be required to
complete training and testing before receiving access cards.
Kenai Peninsula Air Fair: The Kenai Airport staff and Commission are gearing up for
the 5ch Annual Kenai Peninsula Air Fair. This year's event is scheduled for Saturday,
May 21. Mark your calendars and give Mary a call if you want to volunteer. The first
planning meeting is scheduled for 5:15p.m. Thursday, March 17 at the Airport
Manager's office
Airport Certification Manual: The FAA recently issued a final rule that revised the
Federal Airport Certification Regulation [Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR),
Part 139 (14 CFR Part 139). The final rule reclassified airports into four new classes
and changed the certification process and the requirements of the certification manual.
On January 24, 2005, the Kenai Municipal Airport Certification Manual was approved
and signed. A new Airport Operating Certificate was issued on January 28, 2005.
According to the FAA Airports Division, Kenai was the first airport in the State of Alaska
to successfully complete the process and obtain a new operating certificate. While this
accomplishment required the work of several people including the Kenai Fire
Department, the majority of the credit goes to Mary Bondurant for compiling, editing,
and formatting the information to FAA standards. Many airports with significantly larger
administrative staffs have not yet attained this remarkable accomplishment.

The Friends of the Kenai Community Library have purchased several new DVD series which are now
circulating. DVD's are a very popular addition to the library collection
Internet computers are busy with patrons checking emails, doing taxes on line, filing for the PFD on

RE: Admin. Report — February 2005
A total of 82.50 hours were booked at the MPF. February also marked the end of high school
hockey for the season with KPHA being the dominant user group with a total of 61 hours.
KPHA has also recently requested use of the rink from April 3-7 since the Sports Center became
unavailable for use. A Use Agreement will be drafted with the stipulation that KPHA pay the
contractor for additional maintenance along with paying a higher ice rate for spring ice.
February also marked the end of KMS and KCHS skiing although grooming efforts continued
for public skiing.
The department received notice from the State of Alaska that our LWCF application received a
#2 ranking, and thus, eligible to submit a final application. The Director continues to work in
that direction.
An application to rezone a portion of Sect. 36 from rural residential to recreation was reviewed
by the Planning and Zoning Commission on February 23`d. Some public testimony was given
with respect to concern about possible noise, increased traffic, and potential for unwanted
behavior. Motion passed unanimously and will go before Council on March 16`h.
The new bucket truck arrived and staff went through training arranged by shop personnel.
_ Monthly Report- For
March 16, 2005
Keith Kornelis, Public Works Manager
New Well House 4: 1 am still working through the DNR bureaucracy to purchase the land for the well.
should have the appraisal on the 10-acre parcel (that we subdivided out of the 86-acres) next week. After
DNR reviews the appraisal, we should finally be ready to purchase this land. Nelson is working on the
design of the well house and the transmission water main from the well to Lawton. We are still evaluating
the two water treatment companies that gave us proposals after running their pilot plants on our water.
Lawton Water Main Extension to WH 4: Nelson has completed the preliminary drawings. We are working
with ADEC to get their approval. We are also working with the Corps to get a Nationwide Wetland Permit
since most of the water main will be going through wetlands. We hope to bid this project before summer.
Kenai Erosion Control and Coastal Trail: The city has not received the draft report from the Corps, which
is scheduled for completion in March 2005. Mayor Pat Porter is in Washington, DC talking to our
representatives about this project. The city is asking the federal government for FY 2008 funds of
$9,800,000, which is 70% of the costs, for final design and construction. I have sent in a grant application
to Stevens, Murkowski, and Young for this amount. We have requested the other 30% from the state.
State Legislative Grant — Joint Municipal Water & Sewer System Analysis: Last summer we received
notification that we have this $50,000 grant. Soldotna applied for $1,000,000, and we each ended up with
$50,000. 1 would like to write the scope of work as, "Update and improve the City of Kenai Water System
Study with consideration for a joint water system with neighboring areas." The money would be used to
update Wm. J. Nelson & Associates Water System Study dated March 28, 1994. 1 think that the Soldotna
and Kenai City Councils are going to discuss this.
ADF&G and USFWS Grant: I have applied for two rants for culvert repair
pp g rt pair and replacement. One is for
improvements to the culverts on S. Spruce and the other is to replace the culvert on Boat Launch Road.
They are high on the priority list but may require some city match.
Wetlands Protection — S. Spruce Project: We only have some sign work to do on this project which is
funded with a $12,000 U.S. Fish & Wildlife matching grant. The project is to protect the wetlands next to S.
Spruce and to encourage people to use the trail and stay off the wetlands. USFWS is willing to give us
additional money to purchase signs for this project.
Boating Facility Launch Ramp and Exit Road Project: We have received the $350,000 grant from the
state for adding two new launch ramps. Nelson is working on the design. We do not have sufficient grant
funds to construct the exit road.
Dip Net Fishery: The Harbor Commission reviewed and revised their recommendations: Ban all fires from
a line from South Spruce Street extending north and that fires be kept 25 feet from any vegetation south of
South Spruce Street. Provide three concrete outhouses but make the one at the end of S Spruce the first
priority. Continue. paid parking like last year and do not use a punch card or seasonal pass for parking.
Title 17 — Public Utilities and Enterprises: 1 made the changes to Title 17 and the water and sewer
regulations that the council requested at the work session on March 2 at 6 pm. This has been a very time-
consuming project but represents a great improvement to the KMC. Ordinance No. 2078-2005 is up for
introduction March 16, which repeals the old and replaces it with a whole new Tile 17 and regulations.
DEC Alaska Clean Water Fund (ACWF): I have received the questionnaire for this loan fund program.
This program is for sewer and wastewater treatment plant improvement projects. It has an extremely low
interest rate. I don't think we need to do this, but we should consider the Alaska Drinking Water Fund when
we receive that questionnaire.
New Bucket Truck: We have received the new bucket truck, and our operators have been trained.
Little League Parking. Our crews are going to work with parks to enlarge the parking off S. Spruce.

} Case No. 3KN-03-636 CI
ORDER DENYING RECONSIDERATION ON THE ISSUE OF ATTORNEY FEES
Appellant seeks reconsideration of the court's order
awarding Appellees attorney fees of $210. The court's reason for
the award of nominal attorney fees was Appellant's single minded
persistence of an issue on appeal that had long been mooted by
action of Kenai City Council and the court in 3KN-03-503 CI, even
if it was the proper subject of a referendum under the City' s
charter or state law. This litigation, Appellant's protestations
notwithstanding, did not meet Public Interest Criteria.
Basically, the referendum petition sought a referendum on whether
the city should enter into a contract for the P operation of the
Kenai Recreation Center with the Boys and Girls Club of America.
It was not a referendum on whether public service contracts should
be put out to bid. This was not a case designed to effectuate
strong public policies and the court has no idea who, if anybody,
would have benefited from the bringing of this appeal.
Reconsideration is Denied.
Dated at Kenai, Alaska this day of March, 2005.

Representative Mike Chenault
State of Alaska
Capitol Building, Room 505
Juneau, AK 99801-1182
Dear Representative Chenault:
I am writing you to express the City's concerns regarding part of HB 184. As you know, the bill
would prohibit a municipality from enacting or enforcing an ordinance that regulates the
possession, sale, transfer, use or transportation of firearms in a manner that is inconsistent with
state law. Our concern is with the part of the bill prohibiting the city from regulating the use of
firearms in a manner inconsistent with state law. Here's why.
For public safety reasons, Kenai prohibits the discharge of firearms in certain areas of the city
and allows it in other areas. KMC 13.15.010. Shooting firearms is prohibited in areas around
subdivisions and businesses and allowed in the sparsely populated areas. I have included a map
indicating the shooting/non-shooting areas.
Our concern is that HB 184 could be interpreted to overrule the city's ban on discharge (i.e. use)
of firearms in certain areas of the city. The Council feels that the city's ordinance is both
reasonable and important for public safety in Kenai.
The city requests that you consider changing the language in HB 184 or inserting language in the
legislative history of the bill making it clear that it is not intended to keep cities from prohibiting
discharge of firearms within their boundaries.
Thank you in advance for your time in considering our concerns with part of HB 184. Please
feel free to contact us regarding this issue.
