Dear Kenai City Council,
RECEIVE'D -I
CITY OF KENAI
AD_,M, INISTR..AT. ION ....
My name is Ken Duff, the Executive Director of Frontier Community Services (FCS). FCS is a
non-profit organization, providing quality individualized, community services for people of all
ages, who are at risk of, or experience a disabling condition. Since.its conception FCS has grown
fi'om a small operation to the seventh largest employer on the Kenai Peninsula and the fourth
largest employer of Soldotna. FCS provides services for over 250 individuals and employs
approximately 400 people. Our administration office is located in the Red Diamond Center on K-
Beach Road.
We currently occupy an entire building and three additional suites in two other buildings totaling
13,000 square feet. With this arrangement our offices are located in three separate locations of the
Red Diamond Center. Above and beyond being inconvenient having our offices spread over three
buildings, we have outgrown these spaces. Additionally our strategic planning clearly indicates a
need for even more space. We foresee housing a day care center for disabled children in the
proposed building.
We are proposing that the City of Kenai and FCS join in a mutually beneficial agreement,
allowing for a parcel of city land to be conveyed to FCS for construction of an administration
building, vocational department and day care center. According to Kenai City Code 22.05.025
Conveyance to encourage new industrial enterprises, such an arrangement could be possible.
It is our goal to construct a building approximately 20,000 square feet. The building would house
over 55 full-time employees. In addition, support staff numbering approximately 350, frequently
come into the FCS office for administrative support. These employees would patronize local
businesses on a regular basis such as restaurants, gas stations and shopping centers.
I would like the opportunity to discuss with the council this proposal that would benefit both the
City of Kenai as well as our agency. Please consider my request to speak during the scheduled
public comment section on the council's agenda for June 1, 2005.

Naming for Dollars
By Anne Schwartz
13 May 02
The New York Botanical Garden features the Con Edison Pond Gallery, the Texaco Kids and the Mitsubishi Wild Wetland Trail. The new baseball stadium for the
minor-league Brooklyn Cyclones is named after the local energy company, Keyspan (formerly Brooklyn Union Gas). The Children's Museum of Manhattan includes
the Time-Warner Media Center. Two theaters on 42nd Street were renamed the American Airlines Theater and the Ford Center for the Performing Arts, and a third theater,
the Winter Garden, former home to "Cats," current home of "Mamma Mia," is about to be renamed the Cadillac Winter Garden Theater. So when Mayor Michael
Bloomberg suggested recently that the city's parks could be named after corporate sponsors as a way of helping to pay for their upkeep, it was a logical extension of a
trend, begun with stadiums and now being adopted by non-profit institutions, to trade the rights to a name for corporate dollars.
In suggesting that parks be named for corporate donors, the mayor acknowledged the suocess of public-private partnerships in helping to fix up and maintain the city's
parks over the last few decades. And he was no doubt aware of how much money the owners of stadiums and theaters and other facilities have raised by selling
naming rights. While the mayor mentioned only parks, his idea could be extended to schools, libraries, subway stations, streets.
With the city facing a multibillion dollar budget shortfall and parks slated for their lowest budget in 10 years, some parks advocates welcome the private sector's
involvement in parks and would not be opposed to giving naming rights to corporate donors. But other New Yorkers think such deals, no matter how much money
they bring in, are a bad bargain. A letter to the mayor signed by 27 scholars and other prominent New Yorkers said, "to rename the parks for corporations would be
literally to sell the city - its heart and soul - for money."
NAMING RITES
The selling of corporate naming rights, which began in earnest with sports stadiums in the late 1980s, has become something of a mania. A couple even tried to
auction off the naming rights to their newborn child (there were no takers). Nearly half of the nation's major sports arenas now bear the names of corporations, and
corporate names are increasingly common in minor league and even college and town playing fields. The practice has spread to convention centers, malls,, airports,
hospitals, theaters, and museums. The Srnithsonian Institution recently named the theater in its National Air and Space Museum after the Lockheed Martin Corporation,
which donated $10 million to the museum.
Renaming long has been a preoccupation in New York City. So much' time is taken up at the City Council to renaming streets - according to one estimate, about
two-thirds of all council bills! - that Councilmember James Oddo has proposed "taking the City Council out of the 'name change game,'" and turning it over to
community boards.
But New York City has only recently begun to warm to the national trend of trading names for money.
The amounts of money involved can be substantial. The recor, d so far is the price tag of $300 million ($10 million a year for 30 years) for adding the corporate name
"Reliant" to five arenas in a Houston complex that includes the stadium for the Houston Texans. More modest is the $5 million gift for the new 'building of
Philadelphia's Please Touch Museum, which becomes the "Please Touch Museum Presented by McDonald's."
It is clear what the corporations get out of this. Keyspan Energy Services put its name on the new stadium on Coney Island (for an undisclosed sum) to invest in an
area that it serves, according to spokesman Robert Mahony. But, Mahony conceded, the company was able to justify the investment to its shareholders because of the
advertising return. "It was an excellent opportunity to associate the name of the company with Brooklyn, with the New York Mets, and with bringing baseball back to
Brooklyn."
And stadium deals offer a company more than just publicity and marketing value. Corporations attaching their names to stadiums typically get free tickets, luxury
suites, parking privileges, and sometimes the opportunity to sell their products at the stadium. ·
Cities are starting to consider the idea of selling naming rights to municipal facilities, although the rewards are lower and
the risk of backlash higher than for more commercial sites. There have been suggestions in various places to offer naming
rights for subway stations, school buildings or highways, but Mayor Bloomberg appears to be the first to promote the idea
for parks.
There are many successful examples of other types of business support for parks. The National Park Foundation has five
major corporate "partners" that have made "multi-million dollar, multi-year contributions" to the national parks, according to
foundation spokesman Mike Bento. Detailed guidelines, issued by the parks service, limit how donors can be recognized.
For example, permanent signage and naming are not allowed. "What's been proven is that you can get corporations involved
without sacrificing the very special nature of the parks," Bento said.
Corporations also sponsor events and programs at municipal parks all over the country. For example, Pathmark and M&M
covered the cost of the Easter Eggstravaganza held recently in Central Park. Typically, the identification of the corporate
donor is low-key, and sponsors often have a logical tie-in to the event or program.
The city parks commissioner, Adrian Benepe, has said he would like to take existing corporate partnerships a step further by
offering naming rights in exchange for the construction and maintenance of a facility. Although the proposal has not gone
farther than the concept stage, said department spokeswoman Jane Rudolph, "the goal is not to make Central Park change its
name. The goal is to take specific facilities or a special garden like the Heather Garden in Fort Tryon Park and possibly give i~
a sponsorship."
Another facility that has been mentioned for corporate support is the track and field complex being built on Randalls Island.
The most concrete plan put forth by the Bloomberg administration is to sell advertising space within city recreation facilities.
For example, a corporation may pay to have its billboard displayed on the walls of an indoor basketball court.
Any corporate identification would be tasteful and low-key, said Rudolph. "Nobody at parks is going to turn any facility
into a corporate name with huge flashing signs," she said.
PRIVATE NAMES--LESS PUBLIC FUNDING?
Whether handled tactfully or otherwise, the idea of selling the naming rights to parks raises a number of questions.

Old Names Are Odd Too
By Nuri Adler
Some New Yorkers fear that, if Mayor
Michael Bloomberg has his way in
selling the naming rights to public
places, we may soon be riding Pepsi
One subway line or relaxing in Central
Park's Snapple Kiwi-Strawberry Fields.
The thought of such commercialism
horrifies many, including a local
community board in downtown
iManhattan that last year effectively
nixed a City Council bill to rename part
of Park Row "J&R Row," after the
electronics retailer. Yet no effort was
made to change such already-existing
names like Times Square, which is
named after the New York Times
Company.
Indeed, few New Yorkers seem to realize
that the city is already full of names
with odd or indefensible origins.
City Councilmember David Weprin
proposed that a street be named for
assassinated Israeli tourism minister
Rehavam Zeevi, but withdrew his
suggestion when he learned that Zeevi
was a widely known bigot who had

A major pitfall of corporate naming for public spaces like parks is that it tends to erode the government's obligation to fund
what are traditionally public services, according to Jerold Kayden, associate professor of urban planning at Harvard Graduate
School of Design. "It decreases the necessity of public funding in ways that can have an ultimately corrosive effect on lots of
public activities," he said. "It leads us to abandon, step by step by step, down a slippery slope, a commitment of public tax
dollars to certain things that are not deemed high priorities."
Yet the public and the government have little control over how long the private support will continue, as the cultural
institutions in Houston so painfully learned when a bankrupt Enron couldn't come through with promised donations. If the.
private sector pulls out, it can be a struggle to get the city to restore former levels of funding.
Also, would corporate donations help the parks that are most in need -- small parks in poor neighborhoods in the outer
boroughs? The parks department could try to direct corporate gifts to those areas or earmark a percentage of the donation to
the entire system, but the project would ultimately depend on what a corporation is interested in funding, and corporations
would probably be interested in high-profile, popular spots.
In New York City, private funds may have already contributed to the decline of public funding for parks. A Concerted effort
by private donors and volunteers helped turn around Central Park, and then other parks in the city. Yet even when the city's
budget was flush during the 1990s, New York continued to trim the parks department budget and encourage the department
to raise a greater share from private donors and concessions.
WHAT'S IN A NAME?
Many buildings and public spaces - hospitals, theaters, plazas, gardens - are named for philanthropists who donated money
for their construction or renovation: in Central Park, for example, there are the Delacorte Theater and the Wollman Rink. How
is this different from naming a public space after a donor that happens to be a business?
Critics see many differences. These public places have been named for individuals being honored for their generosity, public
service, or importance to history - not as a quid-pro-quo with profit-making companies.
"It's the sale of New York's great heritage to some corporate donor, which is sad and unfortunate," said Gary Ruskin, the
executive director of Commercial Alert, a non-profit organization founded by Ralph Nader to oppose commercialism. "Across
the country, a wave of sponsorships is turning municipalities into marketing agents," he said, arguing that it is not the
proper role of cities to promote corporations that pollute, sell unhealthy products, or exploit low-earning workers overseas.
Cigarette and liquor companies, as well as businesses involved in disputes or selling controversial products, would
probably be off limits. But to Ruskin the concept of putting any corporate name on parks in particular poses problems.
"These parks exist to give people a respite from the aggressive hawking of products and huckstering that we are all subject tc
on a minute-to-minute basis in our sOciety," he said. "Naming rights defeats that worthy purpose."
Similar concerns led the people of Boston to block a plan to sell the naming rights to four of the busiest stations in their
subway system. As one reader wrote in The Boston Globe, "Post a bond or raise taxes, but please do not make us say the
names of corporations when we describe where we go."
But maybe corporations should keep out of this name game simply for their own good. Several commentators have detected a
"naming rights curse." A number of firms that placed their names on stadiums soon saw their stock drop or even went
bankrupt. (A web site tracks the stock prices of companies that purchased naming rights to sports arenas). The list of
bankrupt sponsors includes PSINet, TWA, Pro Player and, most notoriously, Enron. Earlier this year, after Enron fell into
disgrace, the Houston Astros bought back the naming rights, and changed Eaton Field back to Astro Field - until the team
can find another corporation willing to spend millions of dollars a year to put its name on the ballpark.

referred to Palestinian workers in Israel
as "lice." Yet Weprin did not demand
the renaming of Bayard Street, named
after Nicholas Bayard, who was the
mayor of New York in 1686 but was
later convicted as an accomplice of the
pirate Captain Kidd. Nor did he say
anything about renaming Rivington
Street, named after James Rivington,
who published a pro-British newspaper
during the Revolutionary War.
Many existing street names are
shocking merely for their irrelevance.
Arden Street and Mott Street are both
named for successful butchers. Hubert
Street is named for a dealer in iron.
John Street is named for a shoemaker.
Dozens of street names, particularly in
lower Manhattan, where New York's
first settlers lived, are named after the
wives, sons, and daughters of the
farmers whose lands comprised today's
streets. Kenmare Street is named after a
village in Ireland which happens to be
the birthplace of Tammany leader "Big
Tim" Sullivan's mother.
The City Council shot down the effort
to name a "Big Pun Place" after the
rapper Big Pun, 'due in part to his
explicit lyrics. Yet nobody clamors for
the renaming of Bleecker Street, named
after Anthony Bleecker, a writer whose
wordplay was reportedly so repulsive
that it drove one 19th century socialite
to pack up and leave town.
It is a mystery why street names are
~taken so seriously in a city where a
widely used roadway is named after a
weekend golfer (city engineer Horace
Harding, whose expressway was
initially created as a more convenient
route from the city to his favorite golf
course); where a street is named after a
play (Pomander Walk, which began a
143-performance run on Broadway in
December 1910); and where South
Street runs parallel to the East' River.

maintain valuable and important programs and facilities, within specific boundaries and
with built-in safeguards against misuse of this tool. This policy captures an activity
previously not subject to guidelines.

SUBJECT: Kenai Peninsula Borough Comprehensive Plan Review
_
It is my understanding at the last City Council meeting that Council asked staff to
review the changes the Borough included in the final draft of the Kenai Peninsula
Borough Comprehensive Plan that the Borough Assembly is considering. And, a
review of the Plan's recommendation to expand the riparian area buffer zones
from 50 feet to 100 feet for anadromous fish-bearing streams and how that may
affect the City of Kenai. Acting City Manager Kopp asked me to provide
information to you regarding these requests.
I conducted a general overview of the changes identified in the memorandum to
the Assembly dated May 16, 2005. I specifically reviewed any changes related
to the City of Kenai. The comments addressed in my memo to you dated
April6,2005 were addressed and corrections/additions were made as
recommended with the following exceptions:
Page 4-66, Table 4-7, they did not incorporate the two additions
relating to the Kenai City Parks and Recreation facilities.
On Page 6-27 in the "Erosion" section, them is still no mention of
the Kenai bluff erosion or the bluff erosion project.
Under the "Water Quality" section of the Plan, on Page 7-22, Goal 7.2, Objective
2 states, "To minimize negative impacts of water quality from dredging, filling,
and grading in water bodies, wetlands, and intertidal areas." Two items included
Kenai Peninsula Borough Comprehensive Plan Review
Page 2
as Implantation Actions under this objective may have future impact on
development within the City of Kenai. They are,
Bo
F,
Consider expanding riparian area buffer zones from 50 feet to 100
feet for anadromous fish-bearing streams.
Consider expanding the list of anadromous fish-bearing streams
and rivers subject to riparian area protection.
Item E would have an affect on all properties currently regulated by KPB Chapter
21.18 - Anadromous Streams Habitat Protection. This is the ordinance that
restricts certain types of development within 50 feet of a protected stream and
requires permitting through the Borough for such development. Section
21.18.060 of the Borough's ordinance identifies prohibited activities within the
zone. Activities are described as, "no building, construction, filling, excavation,
major clearing of vegetation, commercial recreational uses, or activity which
results in significant erosion or damage to riparian habitat, or results in or
increases ground water pollution, can be conducted except when specifically
allowed under KPB 21.18.070, or when a conditional use permit has been
issued." If the protection were increased to 100 feet, development on properties
currently regulated by the ordinance would be restricted in twice the area.
Item F could also affect development in the City. Currently, there are two bodies
-of water within the City of Kenai covered under the Borough's ordinance, the
Kenai River and Beaver Creek. If the ordinance was expanded to include Boat
Launch Creek and No Name Creek, the areas within the City of Kenai covered
under the ordinance could increase dramatically.
It is my opinion that either increasing the protection zone or including additional
streams may have a dramatic effect on properties abutting streams covered
under the ordinance.

Gary Superman, Assembly President
Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly Members
Dear President Superman and Assembly Members,
The Planning Commission has prepared a draft 2005 Kenai Peninsula
Borough Comprehensive Plan as required by state statute. I hereby
respectfully submit this proposed plan for your review and
consideration for adoption on behalf of the Planning Commission. The
draft plan represents nearly two years of hard work on the parts of
many people, with the intent of developing an accurate, thorough, and
useful document.
Over the course of the plan update process, public participation
was essential in helping to shape the content of the draft document.
The Borough has changed considerably in the 13 years since the
previous comprehensive plan was adopted, and hundreds of comments made
by community members are reflected in these updated existing
conditions, issues, goals, objectives and actions.
Topics addressed by chapter in the draft comprehensive plan
include local government, population and housing, economy, public
services and facilities, transportation, land management and use, and
environmental quality. Along with an up-to-date narrative in each
chapter, .new maps, tables and charts were created for the plan. The
plan's readability has been improved by the addition of tabs for easy
searching and an implementation matrix that brings all the goals,
objective and actions together for simplified study. An expanded
introduction includes a bit of local history, an explanation of the
plan' s purpose, and a description of the Borough' s powers and
responsibilities.
We are confident that this new plan has support from a diverse
cross-section of borough residents, and that it will prove a valuable
resource for helping to shape borough decisions on many levels for
years to come.
rely,

Ordinance 2005-20; Repealing KPB 2.56.005 and Enacting KPB 2.56.006, Adopting the 2005 Kenai Peninsula
Borough Comprehensive Plan
The 2005 KPB Comprehensive Plan final draft is submitted for your review and decision regarding its adoption.
Over the past two years, planning department staff and the comprehensive plan consulting team have worked closely
together to produce a document that is an updated and accurate illustration of existing conditions in the borough. An
extensive set of public meetings were held in 12 communities throughout the borough both in 2003 and 2004, where
issues important to residents were noted and discussed, and an initial draft plan was later presented. The public's
response to the initial draft included suggestions for edits and showed overwhelming agreement with, or support for,
amended goals, policies and actions.
Additionally, the comprehensive plan update team attended over 35 business and community group meetings, as well
as meetings with representatives of local native tribal councils and corporations to ensure the project would receive a
broad base of opinions and feedback. Local newspapers and radio stations helped keep community members informed
of the project's progress by not only announcing the public meeting dates and times, but by helping residents
understand the significance of the plan through several front page articles, editorials and on-air interviews.
The planning commission and assembly held a joint work session on June 15, 2004 to discuss the plan update process
and provide feedback. The planning commission held two additional work sessions on December 13, 2004, and
January 24, 2005, to discuss further plan revisions and continued to provide feedback on subsequent drafts of the
document.
After several revisions to the goals, objectives and implementation actions based on comments from staff, community
groups, planning commission members and public, a final draft plan has been produced. The planning commission will
hold public hearings for this ordinance on March 28, 2005 and April 25, 2005 and their recommendation will be
forwarded to the assembly. It is the expectation and hope of the planning department and consulting team that the
assembly, planning commission, mayor, borough departments and public will find the 2005 KPB Comprehensive Plan a
useful guide for making decisions regarding borough wide issues.
Three lists of comments and revisions were emailed to the commissioners. They are as follows:
.
Suggested Revisions to KPB Comprehensive Plan Recommended by Staff and Consultant.
Suggested Revisions to KPB Comprehensive Plan Not Recommended by Staff and Consultant.
Suggested Revisions to KPB Comprehensive Plan that Decision Needs to be made by Planning
Commission
There were comments in the desk packet from Commissioner Foster that the Planning Commission will need to make
decisions on.
Ms. Cady-Hippchen went to the City of Kenai Council Meeting on May 4, 2005. They decided to withhold their letter of
support until the Planning Commission had made their decision as to the final content of the plan.
A final decision needs to be made on the suggested revisions and a recommendation by the Planning Commission on
the adopting Ordinance for the Plan.
END OF STAFF REPORT
Commissioner Martin stated that he did not find any reference to his suggestions of encouraging and fostering
opportunities for agricultural. Ms. Cady-Hippchen answered that those comments were made during a work sessions
several months ago. They should be in the final document. Commissioner Martin is disappointed that they were not
included. Ms. Cady-Hippchen apologized and stated the commission can make a decision at this meeting to include
them in the plan.
Commissioner Martin asked if he needs to restate those comments or are there notes on his suggestions. Ms. Cady-
Hippchen asked the Commissioner Martin restate the comments but will also make sure they are in the notos.

Chapter 7
· Page 7-27, 2nd column, 4th line: The statement made "unsafe disposal" insinuates that the industrial
complex~=,s are violating the law and not properly disposing of materials. It is a very bold statement and may not
been an accurate reflection. (Note: The sentence indicates sometimes chemicals produced by industrial
industrials and others have been released due to unsafe handling It does not assign blame or indicate anyone
has violated the law."
General
· Please consider adding a time frame or other prioritization method to the Implementation Matrix. (Note: This
issue was discussed by the Planning Commission and Assembly and it was decided not to do this.)
· Another general suggestion is to add more action words to the implementation table; use words such as "fund",
"write", "proceed" instead of passive words. I think it would give the plan more credibility and power to use words
that call for action. (Note: Much of this language is general by intent, to avoid over-committing borough staff or
resources.)

CHAPTER 2
Commission Hohl asked if it would be better to support museum across the Peninsula rather than just the Kenai River
Museum. Ms. Cady-Hippchen stated that this item was brought from the Soldotna Historical Society. She mentioned
that this plan was mainly for the unincorporated areas of the Borough, it seems silly not to support all museums within
the Borough. There was also a discussion of where the logical place would be to put it in the plan. Ms. Cady-Hippchen
suggested that an addition of a Cultural Resources section be added but they didn't want to go that far at this late date.
The consultant acted on the suggestion and provided language by the Soldotna Historical Society created an objective
2. The Planning Commission does have the ability to revise the language.
Commissioner Hohl expressed concem that it is under Borough programs. It sounds like it is going to be a Borough
owned museum and would be exclusion to the existing museums in other areas of the Borough.
MOTION: Commissioner Johnson moved, seconded by Commissioner Isham to add both bullet points under Chapter 2
in the Comprehensive Plan.
Add an issue to Chapter 2 as follows "Museum of history and culture. Understanding the bomugh's past is
essential to planning for its future. Collecting and maintaining historic and cultural resources that tell the story ofthe
borough's history is one important way to ensure this. From the First Dena'ina People at the confluence of the
Russian River with the Kenai, to the miners, trappers, homesteaders, oil field workers and today's merchants,
commuters, tourists; successive waves of people have lived off the river's bounty and beauty. While many artifacts,
photos and stories have been collected, there is no central space in the borough designated for their storage and
display."
Add an objective (2) and accompanying implementation action (A) to Chapter 2 as follows "Objective 1. Preserve
and display the historic and cultural story of the borough and its people." "A. Support efforts to create a shared
Kenai River Museum in the borough."
Commissioner Johnson is going to vote against the motion. He is a member of the Kasiiof Historical Society and reads a
lot of history but doesn't think it fits there in the plan. If these museums are added then it leads to adding more
museums.
Chairman Bryson called for a roll call vote.

Commissioner Foster asked if everyone feels comfortable with Objective 5 in Chapter 3 (bullet 2), "Support the health
care industry..." He asked staff how it would fit in with the rest of the recommendations. Ms. Cady-Hippchen stated
that comments were received from many communities pointing out the importance of mentioning the growing health
care industry within the Kenai Peninsula Borough. They also had representatives give several comments of existing
conditions, goals and objectives and issues. Some of their comments were included in the plan. This would be very
consistent with what has been heard around the Borough with the process of this update.
It was brought to the attention of the Commission that the motion for Chapter three was not voted on. Ms. Hartley
clarified that the chapter three motion was not voted on.
Commissioner Johnson clarified that the things left in Chapter three are (1) to reorder the list of actions in alphabetical
order and (2) Objective 5 to support the health care industry.
· Reorder list of actions in Goal 3.1, Objective 5 to put oil and gas exploration closer to the top or alphabetize list.

since they have to do with land use regulations. There was a comment to change enhance to develop since there is not
a way to enhance something that they don't have.
MOTION: Commissioner Johnson moved, seconded by Commissioner Foster to strike bullet 2 from the document.
Modify Goal 6.5, Objective 1, .Action F to read: Develop borough regulations to address adverse impacts

Commissioner Johnson felt this was an ambiguous thing and will not make a difference by adding this bullet.
Commissioner Hohl stated that is it already in the document. The word enhance is being changed to develop.
Commissioner Johnson asked if this waters it down by making it less. Commissioner Hohl stated that the person who
said this said that they couldn't enhance something they don't have so the word was changed to develop. Ms. Cady-
Hippchen stated that is correct. Commissioner Johnson asked if by adding bullet 2 it would actually develop language
that will do something about junk cars. Ms. Cady-Hippchen stated essentially.
Based upon this information, Commissioner Johnson withdrew his motion with consensus from the second. Chairman
Bryson asked if there was objection to withdraw this motion. Chairman Bry~on so ordered.
MOTION' Commissioner Gross moved, seconded by Commissioner Isham to eliminate the last three bullets of chapter
6.
Goal 6.6, Objective 2, Add an implementation Action that "The borough will work with the cities in the preparalJon of
land disposal and classification notices when the land abuts or is in the immediate vicinity of a city's limits." (page 6-
38)
Add an action that would fund inventorying wetlands in the KPB to determine whether they are Iow or high value,
and pursue developing a wetlands program in the KPB. (page to be determined)
Add an action regarding subdMsion plat approval in high hazard areas or other properties that may not be
developable due to physical constraints. (page to be determined)
Commissioner Foster spoke to the fourth bullet. This is something where them is a lot of controversy but does hear
about it at the City of Homer. He supported this bullet and not supports the motion on that one. The bullet below it
where it talks about inventorying wetlands is already being done and it redundant. There is a concern with the 6th bUllet
and asked how staff how it would look like. Ms. Cady-Hippchen stated there is something similar already in the plan that
talks about-continuing to work with property owners to discourage subdivision development in areas that are XYZ.

Chairman Bryson suggested the motion that combines 3 bullets be split to be addressed separately unless there is
opposition.

Commissioner Foster stated this is nebulous and doesn't know how it could be written. Ms. Cady-Hippchen isn't sure
she understood how it could be nebulous. Commissioner Foster commented that it is asking that the Borough write
regulations or establish zoning areas to address adverse impacts. He asked if it is clear enough for the Comprehensive
Plan. Ms. Cady-Hippchen stated it is a pretty clear directive.
Commissioner Hohl commented that it would be clearer to her if the zoning areas were eliminated and it were just to
write regulations. Ms. Cady-Hippchen stated that the Assembly could write Borough regulations to address this issue if
they wanted to deal with zoning areas. It would not affect the action if that were to be removed.

comments.
Chairman Bryson asked if there was objection to the staff requests for decision on items by the Planning Commission.
Hearing no objection, that list is modified as action taken.
Ms. Cady-Hippchen stated there are two items that need to be addressed. (1) The suggestions given by Commissioner
Foster. (2) The decision as to how to deal with Chapter 5, the adopted Transportation Plan that was done separately.
The Commissioners have an encapsulated version of the Transportation Plan that was written by another consultant.
There are a few people that want to make some changes and suggestions to Chapter 5. Ms. Cady-Hippchen referred to
a letter from the consultant who gave three options for incorporating the Transportation Plan. They are as follows:
Ao
C.
Incorporate the entire Transportation Plan into the Comprehensive Plan.
Incorporate the Transportation Plan by reference only, with no detailed information, goals,
objectives, or implementation actions explicitly included in the Comprehensive Plan.
Incorporate key information from the Transportation Plan in the Comprehensive Plan -
essentially including an abbreviated version of the Transportation Plan as Chapter 5.
The consultant recommended Option C. Ms. Cady-Hippchen is looking for the Planning Commission's decision
regarding the Transportation Plan. She suggested deferring it to the Assembly.
MOTION: Commissioner Johnson moved, seconded by Commissioner Hutchinson to leave Chapter 5 as it is and allow
the Assembly to make a decision on it.
Commissioner Hohl stated that is one area that she spoke with the consultant about when they developed the
Transportation Plan. She referred to 5.8 Goal, Objective 2 and asked why it is either, or in refocusing on the western
side of the peninsula for ferry service and undermining service in the Borough in Pdnce William Sound. Commissioner
Hohl still has a problem with that and does not know what to do with it. Commissioner Johnson asked what page
number it was on. Commissioner Hohl stated 5.25. She doesn't feel that one plan should be pitted against the other.
Ms. Cady-Hippchen suggested that modit'mal~ns and suggestions be initiated by Ordinance at the ~bty level on the
Transportation Plan.
Commissioner Hohl asked if this section is verbatim from the Transportation Plan. Ms. Cady-Hippchen stated that is not
correct. Commissioner Hohl stated that they could add a section in support of maintaining the ferry to Seward. Ms.
Cady-Hippchen stated the Transportation Plan was adopted as a cover-to-cover document. She deferred to Mr. Best for
his comments. Mr. Best stated that it could be added as an element to the Transportation Plan. They were told they
could add it at the time the ComPrehensive Plan was developed. Language will need to be added to this chapter to
supplement that. To make changes can be made but will be dif~ult to follow because it will be put in this chapter when
referring to a whole another document. It would have to be added as a supplement to the document. Commissioner
Hohl stated them are other items in there that aren't in that document. She stated that this particular item might conflict
with the other document rather than an addition to the other document. Mr. Best stated that is a possibly.
Commissioner Johnson asked Commissioner Hohl for specific language to make a friendly amendment. Commissioner
Hohl stated to maintain ferry service in Seward. Commissioner Johnson stated to put it in and see if the commission
votes it up or down.
FRIENDLY AMENDMENT MOTION' Commissioner Hohl moved, seconded by Commissioner Foster to maintain ferry
service to ports historically served by the ferry.
Commissioner Gross doesn't want to see where things are named specirm. It can open a can of worms. She felt it is
better left out.
Commissioner Massion commented that it doesn't help the Peninsula if maintaining service to Seward yet kills Seidovia.
Commissioner Hohl stated she changed it from Seward to ports that historically receive service. Commissioner Isham
commented that the State would probably say where the ferry goes since they will look at it economically if it should stop
at Seward or Seldovia.
MOTION- Commissioner Johnson moved to extend the meeting another 15 minutes. Hearing no obj~n, the meeting
was extended.

upgrades in streets, culverts and bridqes will be designed to protect or minimize adverse impacts of flooding or erosion
to nei~hborin~ properties or resources.
Chairman Bryson opened discussion among the commissioners.
Commissioner Foster stated the first one that was being proposed came up at the Floodplain workshop. Itwas identif'~l
as a priority and voted on. The City of Homer introduced it into their Transportation Plan. He asked staff to comment on
this. He stated that if DOT is going to come in and do repair work in a flood zone then they would have to upgrade to the
100 year flood. Mr. Mohorcich commented that the current policy for DOT is to design to the 50-year floodplain. They
do ask that they consider the 100-year floodplain in most projects they get involved in. Mr. Mohorcich felt it would be
wise to start looking at the longer goals and design to the 100 year floodplain.
Chairman Bryson asked if 1% flood event is typical. Mr. Mohorcich stated it was a little different since they usually use
the 100-year flood event. Chairman Bryson asked the 1% of what. Mr. Mohorcich stated the chance of it occurring in
any one given year. Chairman Bryson asked if this was proposing that streets and culverts have a 100-year
reoccurrence interval. Mr. Best stated that it is in the areas that are mapped. The 1% flood area is the definition forthe
100-year floodplain. The 100-year flood is the 1% chance. The Borough looks at all activities within the 100 year / 1%
chance area in the River Center permitting process.
Commissioner Martin clarified that the statistical probability that, that much water would come in one given year is
confusing for the public since they think it hasn't been 100 years since they've had this flood. They think they are safe.
There could be a 100-year flood three years in a roll. Commissioner Johnson stated that the amount of upgrading
between the 50-year floodplain culvert and the 100-year floodplain is much less significant than when the road washes
out and starts over. He felt this is a very wise statement to have in the plan.
Commissioner Gross felt that this is micromanaging again like telling them where to put the ferries. She hoped the
engineers and the people working on the roads would make the right choices.
Chairman Bryson stated that typically drainage structures are a function of the value of the property that is ,being
protected. He felt that broad determinations of any upgrades to street~, culverts and bridges could be broadly
interpreted, it is not the intent of all road construction to have design requirements to design to 100-year standards.
Commissioner Johnson commented it states to accommodate to the 1% flood event and not asking that roads last 100
years. He will be voting in favor of this motion.
AMENDMENT MOTION: Commissioner Foster moved to eliminate the other blue ones so they don't have to discuss
them too much more. DUE TO ^ LACK OF A SECOND THE AMENDMENT MOTION DIED.
Commissioner Johnson stated he seconded the original motion only for the first proposed suggested change.
(CLERK'S NOTE: There was discussion that Commissioner Foster's original motion only included the Goal 5.2 addition.
Upon listening to the recording, his motion included ali the proposed suggestions marked in blue.)

MEMORANDUM
TO'
FROM:
DATE:
RE'
Mayor Pat Porter and the Kenai City Council
Cary R. Graves, City Attorney
May 27, 2005
Ownership of K-6 Boat
This memorandum is to examine who owns the K-6 boat currently displayed at the Kenai
Visitors and Cultural Center. The boat is an historic, wooden, fishing boat that was refurbished
in the early 1990's. It is not known how many remaining K boats are in existence, but at best
the-re are very few.
On May 16, 2005, Dan Van Zee. Facilities Manager for Kenai Landing, Inc.. sent a letter to City
Manager Linda Snow, informing her that Kenai Landing had purchased the boat tbr one dollar
from Jeff Jefferson and would be moving it there. Kenai Landing had spent several thousand
dollars building a display area for the boat.
On May 17, 2005, Mya Renken of the Kenai Convention & Visitors Bureau faxed
documentation to the City Manager indicating the boat was previously donated by Mr. Jefferson
to the "City of Kenai Bicentennial Visitors & Cultural Center." It was the Bureau's position that
the boat was owned by the City of Kenai. Ms. Renken provided a copy of a 1993 Deed of Girl
signed by Mr. Jefferson and Sue C. Carter, the Executive Director of the Kenai Visitor and
Convention Bureau, Inc. (Bureau).~ The Bureau was under contract with the City to mn the
City's Visitors & Cultural Center.
The Deed of Gift is dated April 7, 1993. On the same date, Mark S. Necessary, President of the
Bureau's Board of Directors, sent Mr. Jefferson a letter thanking him for the donation on behalf
of the Bureau and the City. In a May 13, 2004 list of items on display needing to be insured, the
Bureau listed the boat as being a gift to the City of Kenai. (Attachment A.)
The first issue that arises is to determine whether the intent of the donation was to give the boat
to the City or the Bureau. There is no legal entity called the "City of Kenai Bicentennial Visitors
& Cultural Center" (Center). The Center is a building owned by the City of Kenai and mn under
contract by the Bureau. The Deed of Gift (Attachment B) was prepared by the Bureau. It does
Mayor Pat Porter and Councilors
May 27, 2OO5
Page 2 of 2
not indicate the gift is to the Bureau; instead the gift is to the "City of Kenai Bicentennial
Visitors & Cultural Center." If the Bureau thought the gift were for it, they would have put their
name on the form as the recipient. They did not. I spoke with Jeff Jefferson and Sue Carter,
then-Executive Director of the Bureau, and they both stated the intent was to give it to the City
of Kenai. It is my opinion that while the wording was not precise, the intent of the gift was to
give it to the City of Kenai.
In order for a donation to be valid, it must be accepted. There is a legal presumption that a gift
of value is accepted by the donee. Restatement, Third, Property (Wills and Other Donation
Transfers), § 6.1(b) and § 6.1, Comment i; Matter of Estate of Curry, 143 Misc. 2d, 252, 540
N.Y.S. 2d, 152 (Sup. Ct. 1989). That presumption can even apply where a donation is delivered
to a third party without the knowledge of the donee. Streeper v. Myers, 132 Ohio St. 322, 8 Ohio
Op. 78, 7 N.E. 2d, 554 (Ohio 1937). A donee's exercise of control or ownership of the property
is generally enough to constitute acceptance. 38 Am. dur. 2d, Gifts {}33 (1999). The City insured
the item as being owned by it. That is an exercise of control or ownership.
Moreover, from the list of insured items on display at the Center, it appears the Bureau
·
accepted donations of other items on behalf of the City.2 According to Sue Carter, tlaen-City
Manager Bill Brighton verbally authorized the Bureau to accept the museum gifts on the City's
behalf. It is my opinion that the Bureau had implied authority to accept the museum gifts on
behalf of the City. Restatement, Second Agency, ~ 7, 3 Am Jur. 2d, Agency, § 18 (1986).
Based on the above discussions, it is my opinion the intent of the gift was to give the boat to the
City and that the City has legally accepted the donation. The City is the owner of the boat.
On May 20, 2005, I spoke with Mr. Jefferson on the telephone regarding the boat. The boat has
not been maintained and its condition has noticeably deteriorated since the donation in 1993. He
indicated when he gave the boat to the City, the Bureau made a verbal commitment to keep the
boat in good condition. He feels the Bureau has breached that commitment. He stated his desire
is to keep the boat on display within the City of Kenai at Kenai Landing3. Mr. Jefferson felt the
boat has an historical connection to the cannery and that Kenai Landing will maintain the boat.
It is his desire that the City Council allow the boat to be displayed at Kenai Landing.
Please let me know if you have questions regarding this memorandum.
CRG/sp
Attachments
I The Bureau is now known as the Kenai Convention & Visitors Bureau.
2 The determination of ownership of this donation has spill-over effects on other donations accepted by the Bureau
on behalf of the City. See Attachment A.
3 The Deed of Gift indicated the boat would be displayed at the Center. That request is not binding on the City
because the Deed of Gif~ lists the donation as "unconditional." $ Am dur. 2d, Git~s, § 72 (1999). As noted above,
the donor no longer wishes the boat to be displayed at the Center.

SOAR International Ministries, Inc. - Lot 3, Block 1, General Aviation Apron
(1) Amendment to Lease Changing the Use
(2) Request to Sublease to Air Supply Alaska, Inc.
SOAR International Ministries, Inc. wishes to sublease to Air Supply Alaska, Inc. A letter fi'om
Shane Bowlin with Air Supply Alaska, Inc. is attached providing details of their proposed operation.
The lease states the use as "charter operations and operations and maintenance of aircraft used in
scheduled commuter service." SOAR has made a request to change the use to "Hangar and office
facility, air cargo services, maintenance and operation of aircraft, including fueling." Fueling has
historically been a use on this property. Five underground fuel storage tanks were in service until
they were removed May- June of 1994. An abovcground storage tank was used until 1999 and has
since been removed.
Eric Mayer at SOAR stated that 'the area that Air Supply Alaska, Inc. intends to use is asphalt with
the exception of a small area that is gravel - where the old tanks were pulled. He said that they could
patch that area as recommended by the Airport Manager. For the safety and security of the airport,
she has also asked that they provide a plan for public access to the building for her review.
SOAR has met with the Fire Marshall regarding the fueling and they have been provided a copy of
fuel storage requirements. Also, SOAR will contact the Building Official prior to installing the
freight and hangar doors.
All parties are in compliance with the Borough and City. The City Attorney has reviewed the documents
and has no objections. If Council approves the amendment and sublease, an Amendment to Lease and
Consent to Sublease can be prepared for your signature.

RJE' ConocoPhiilips' Multi-Purpose Facility Naming Proposal
The administration has met and talked with Peter Micciche of ConocoPhillips Alaska on several
occasions regarding the concept described in the attached proposal. While we have worked
together with Mr. Micciche on details of the concept, such as mumcipal sign code requirements,
the facility itself, and the City's agreement with the Hockey Booster Club, we have always been
clear that any decision regarding naming fights to the multi-purpose facility is strictly within the
purview of the Kenai City Council.
In conjunction with the ConocoPhillips proposal, Council may wish to consider the larger
question of whether it wants to lease and/or sell naming fights to the multi-purpose facility at all.
Secondly, if Council does wish to lease and/or sell the naming rights, then what is the best price
and/or length of time for the lease? And, third, if there is Council interest in leasing and/or
selling the fights, there may be benefit to publicly seeking proposals.
No other official proposals of this type have been received by the administration, and we
appreciate the interest and support demonstrated by ConocoPhillips for the community and for
the Multi-Purpose Center, in particular. We will be happy to move forward with this matter as
directed by the Council.

CPAI Kenai Ice Rink Naming Proposal
In the interest of celebrating nearly 40 years of ConocoPhillips
Alaska's relationship with the City of Kenai, on behalf of
ConocoPhillips Alaska I would like to propose the following-
I. ConocoPhillips proposes to purchase and install signage
item numbers 3, 4, and 5 below, with assistance as may be
needed from the Booster Club and the City of Kenai.
ConocoPhillips proposes to purchase these naming rights
from the City of Kenai at the price of $5,000/per year for
three (3) years.
2. ConocoPhillips proposes the signs read .....
"ConocoPhillips Alaska / City of Kenai Multi-Purpose
Facility"
3. ConocoPhillips proposes the placement of an inside sign on
the spectator facing wall ceiling.
4. ConocoPhillips proposes the placement of a lit building
sign facing the front of the building (toward KCHS) .
5. ConocoPhillips proposes placing a larger, lit grounds sign
outside the DOTPF right-of-way facing the Spur Highway.
Signage constructed or erected as part of the naming of the
facility will meet the city's sign code. CPAI will obtain a sign
permit (KMC 14.20.220) from Marilyn Kebschull in the City of
Kenai's planning department once the locations and sizes of the
various signage has been determined.
Ms. Kebschull's will be contacted at 283-8235, in the event CPAI
has any questions about the sign permit process.
CPAI has met with the Booster Club president and spoken to the
Booster Club advertisement coordinator and secured space at the
facility. The Club has agreed to ConocoPhillips' proposal to
purchase a center ice logo and a space on the Zamboni from the
booster club as provided for in the club's agreement with the
City (at Booster Club prices with 50% of the funds going to the
Booster Club and 50% going to the City of Kenai). An additional
$5,000.00, outside of the naming agreement has been made
available for this purpose.
During the agreed upon period of three years, the name of the
facility will not be shared with other potential sponsors. Ail
printed material, programs, advertising and promotional material
will refer to the Facility as the "ConocoPhillips Alaska / City
of Kenai Multipurpose Facility". Conocophillips Alaska will be
given the first right of refusal for additional sponsorship at
the end of the specified period, to either continue at the
current rate if there are no additional offers of sponsorship, or
by matching offers presented by other entities.
I have discussed this arrangement with administration of the City
of Kenai in order to present the offer a99ropriately in regard to
both ConocoPhillips and City of Kenai policies and procedures.
This letter of proposal, as well as samples of facility signs
will be presented for use in city council packets as a discussion
item to be placed on the next regular council meeting agenda.
I look forward to discussing the proposal with the Council. As
~the primary policy makers for the City of Kenai, please feel free
to contact me with any questions, suggestions, requested
revisions or concerns.

RE: EPA and ADEC Brownfields Assessment Funding
Last week, Police Chief Chuck Kopp, as acting city manager, participated in a meeting with
Economic Development District (EDD) Program Manager Dee Gaddis and VISTA member
Casey Reynolds about the EPA and ADEC Brownfields Assessment programs described in his
attached memo dated May 25, 2005.
During the meeting noted above, the EDD made an offer to take the lead in writing a
Brownfields Assessment grant for the Millenmum Square property, if the site is determined to be
eligible for Brownfields funding. The attached document dated November 1, 2004 and entitled
"DEC's Brownfields Assessments," describes in more detail both the program and the eligibility
requirements.
The EDD has requested a city administration liaison to assist in writing the grant, to assure
accuracy of information in the application process, and to provide oversight of the process on
behalf of the City. I have spoken with Public Works Manager Jack LaShot, who acts as the
city's coordinator on most environmental issues and who worked directly with the FAA, ADEC,
and a private engineering firm on completion of the environmental studies and work performed
to date on the Millennium Square Property. Mr. LaShot reviewed the Brownfields Assessment
information and advised that, if eligible, the site information gained could provide the City with
cleanup options and cost estimates, with no liability incurred, and would increase the city's
environmental due diligence work should the time come when the City Council decides to
develop the site or sell the property for development purposes. Mr. LaShot has agreed to work
with the EDD in the pre-application process. The administration will bring back the pre-
application for Council approval prior to EDD submittal.

Re: Kenai Peninsula Economic Development District request to seek Brownfieid Grant funds for a site
assessment of Millennium Square
EPA Brownfield assessment grants make it possible for communities and other stakeholders in economic
development to work together to assess, safely clean up, and reuse browntields. A brOwnfield site is real
property, the redevelopment of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous
substance, pollutant, or contaminant.
Brownfield grants target areas that are prime for development, but impeded by possible comaminauon, and fund
corrective action plans that will allow for redevelopment. This information is invaluable and necessary for a
potential commercial investor prior to purchase.
The City of Kenai administration is aware of the probable burial of Civil Aviation Authority and FAA refuse on
the Millennium Square property. In 2000 and 200 l, a ground sonar and ground water contaminant study was
conducted of the Daubenspeck portion of the Millennium Square property. The results showed locations of
some buried material; signific~tly, no ground water contamination existed.
The City of Kenai has r~eived a clean bill of health from the EPA and DEC on the Millennium Square parcel
of prop~y recently transf~~ from FAA ownership to the City of Kenai.
On May 16a', Dee Gaddis, KPEDD Program Manager, contacted City administration and inquired if the City
was aware of any environmental concerns on Millennium Square property that needed to be addressed before
developmem of the site could begin, and if so, would the City be interested in pursuing funds for brownfield
cleanup and development. Gaddis said she would be meeting the next week with the Brownfield Grant
Coalition in Anchorage and would like to presem any needs the City may have for Brownfield assessment
funds.
On May 19th, City administration (Attorney Graves, City Planner KebschuH and myself) met with KPEDD
representatives Casey Reynolds and Dee Gaddis. KPEDD inquired if the City had identified any high value
sites that were imped~l fi'om development due to possible contamination. The City identified Millennium
Square as having some unknown comamination issues, and stated our concern over cleanup liability should
comaminants be found. KPEDD stated the Brownfield assessment grants are not used for any DEC or EPA
enforcement actions, only for assistance in idcmifying what contaminants are present, developing a corrective
action plan, and providing funds for cleanup.
On May 26t~ I again spoke with Dee Gaddis concerning her May 25m meeting in
Anchorage with John Carnahan, DEC represemative to the Brownfield grant pro.gram.
On behalf of the KPEDD, Gaddis presemed to Carnahan two potemial Brownfield
projects in Kenai: Kenai Landing and Millenmum Square.
Carnahan told Gaddis he would provide KPEDD with a determination as to the eligibility
of the Kenai projects for Brownfield funds by June 3ra. Gaddis verified with Camahan
that Brownfield grants incur no enforcement potential, even if the grant funded study
determined the existence of hazardous waste, and the City decided not to pursue a
corrective action plan for monetary or other reasons.
KPEDD has asked to take the lead in writing a Brownfield assessmem grant for the
Millennium Square property, should it be determined that Millennium Square is an ideal
candidate for the grant. KPEDD requests a City administration liaison in the writing of
the grant, to ensure accuracy in the application process and to provide oversight on behalf
of the City.
ALASKA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION
DIVISION OF SPILL PREVENTION AND RESPONSE
CONTAMINATED SITES PROGRAM
November 1, 2004
DEC's BROWNFIELDS ASSESSMENTS
Introduction
Using funds from U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Alaska Department of
Environmental Conservation (DEC) will conduct a minimal number of DEC Brownfield
Assessments at eligible properties in Alaska. Designed to provide additional data at sites where
a lack of environmental information has thwarted redevelopment oppormmties, the DEC
assessments are designed to:
Determine the nature and extent of contamination and its possible impact on the
potential use of the property;
· Allow for a better understanding of what remedies are possible for a site;
· Enable a potential developer to better understand how the costs associated with the
remedy for this site would factor into a development strategy for the site; and
· Enable a better estimation of the cleanup costs (if any).
This program is currently being pilot tested using limited funds through a Brownfield State
Cooperative Agreement with EPA. Continued fimding is not guaranteed and funding may not be
available after June 30, 2005.
This document provides information on DEC's Brownfield Unit, assessment eligibility, and
application process.
What is a DEC Brownfields Assessment?
A DEC Brownfi¢ld Assessment (DBA) is a study conducted by DEC or their contractors to
determine the nature and extent of contamination at a site that meets some minimum criteria.
DBAs help minimize thc uncertainties of contamination often associated with brownfields.
A DBA may encompass one or more of the following activities:
· A screening of"all appropriate inquiry" (Phase I) assessment, including a background
and historical investigation and a preliminary site inspection;
· A full (Phase II) enviromental assessment, including sampling activities to identify the
types and concentrations of contaminants and the areas of contamination to be cleaned;
and
Establishment of cleanup options and cost estimates based on future uses and
redevelopment plans.
DBA funding may only be used at properties eligible for EPA Brownfield funding. The general
definition of a brownfield property is:
DEC's Brownfields Assessments
November 1, 2004
"real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by
the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant."
Cleanup of petroleum-only contaminated sites must be of relatively low risk, as compared with
other petroleum-only sites in the State, and a site for which there is no viable responsible party
and which will be assessed, investigated, or cleaned up by a person that is not potentially liable
for cleaning up the site. The DEC can assist you in making this determination.
Under the Brownfields Law, three types of sites are not eligible for Brownfields funding. They
include the following'
1. A facility that is listed on the National Priorities List (NPL) or is proposed for listing;
2. A facility that is the subject of a unilateral administrative order, a court order, an
administrative order on consent or judicial consent decree that has been issued to or
entered into by the parties under CERCLA; and
3. A facility that is subject to the jurisdiction, custody or control of a department, agency, or
instrumentality of the United States, except for land help in trust by the United States for
an Indian tribe.
Further, the DEC will not provide resources to conduct cleanup or building demolition activities
through DBAs. Additional financial assistance for cleanup activities may be available under
EPA's Cleanup Grant application process, or through other potential federal sources of funding.
DEC Brownfields Assessment Assistance
· The DEC has discretion in selecting areas to target for environmental assessment assistance and
prefer to target properties that are:
· abandoned or publicly owned sites;
· suffer from the stigma of liability, or have a prospective purchaser willing to buy and
pay for the cleanup of the property, if needed; and
· sites for which there is a documented proposed plan for development and sustainable
reuse.
The selection process is guided by criteria used to help establish relative priorities among the
properties in Alaska. The criteria include the following:
1. Property redevelopment would serve a high public benefit.
e
Property control and ownership transfer is not an impediment- preference will be given
to sites which are publicly owned, either directly by a municipality or through a quasi-
public entity such as a community development corporation.
o
There is a strong municipal commitment - either financially, or through commitment of
municipal resources for other components of the project.
DEC's Brownfields Assessments
November 1, 2004
4. There is a clear municipal/community vision and support for property revitalization.
Se
.
7~
There are adequate leveraged funds available for the cleanup and redevelopment, and/or
the property has strong development potential (perhaps demonstrated by past or present
developer interest).
The results of the Department of Environmental Conservation assessment assistance is
crucial to the property's redevelopment; lack of an assessment has proven to be an
obstacle at the property.
Existing information supports redevelopment - the property will likely have
contamination levels that can effectively be managed, and redevelopment will provide
tangible benefits for the community.
Who is Eligible to Apply?
DEC Brownfield Assessments are available to public, quasi-public or non-profit entities (such as
municipalities, tribal governments and community development organizations) interested in
redeveloping abandoned or underutilized properties. To qualify for an assessment, there must be
a known or a potential release of hazardous substances at a site.
The Department of Environmental Conservation will generally only approve expenditures for
DBAs when the property is publicly held. If a public or non-profit entity is aware of a
Brownfield site that is privately held but has potential for redevelopment that will offer
significant public benefit, DEC may consider spending DBA funds at the site, but only wltla EPA
approval.
DBA funding may only be used at properties eligible for EPA Brownfields funding. The
property must be "a real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be
complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or
contaminant." See EPA's Proposal Guidelines for Brownfields Assessment, Revolving Loan
Fund, and Cleanup Grants, EPA 500-F-04-253 September 2004, for eligibility definitions and
exclusions for Brownfield funding. (EPA document may be obtained at'

Vintage Point Rental Rates
KMC 7.15.100 states, "Unless otherwise provided in the Kenai Code of Ordinances, any rates,
charges, or fees charged by the City of Kenai shall be set by the City Manager, subject to change
by the Council. The rates, charges or fees set by the City Manager are effective upon enactment
by the City Manager; however, the City Manager shall notify the Council in writing at the next
regularly scheduled Council meeting of the adoption or change of any such fees, rates, or
_
charges."
Pursuant to FY06 budget discussions, attached are changes to the Vintage Point rental rates
recommended to me by the Finance Director and the Senior Center Director. These changes are
not slated to become effective until October 1 st in order to provide the residents with sufficient
advance notice to enable their planning and preparation process.
Vintage Point rental rates were increased on January 1, 2003 for the first time since 1995, when
they were increased by nine dollars. The 2003 rate increase brought the different sized units to
the same rate for each size, so the amount of the increase varied between sizes. The 2005
increase will be an equal amount of increase across the board for all apartment sizes. The
current fiscal year's rental revenue from Vintage Point rents is projected at $257,500. We are
projecting increased revenue of $18,000 in FY06 as a result of this rate increase.

Vintage Pointe Rental Rates
Linda,
I would like to recommend we raise the rental rates by $50.00 for each unit of Vintage
Pointe Senior Housing. This was discussed at the April Council on Aging meeting. The
seniors living in Vintage Pointe stated, "We have a good thing going." Others at the
meeting were hesitant to raise the rates for seniors. After much discussion, again, the
seniors at Vintage Pointe stated they could understand why rates needed to be increased.
Our apartment rental rates are dependent upon the size of the apartment and the location
of the apartment within the building. The apartment sizes vary fi'om 586 sq.ft, to 789 sq.
ft.
To increase the rental rates by $50/month would increase the revenue by $2,000 per
month x 12 = $24,000/yr.
· When Vintage Pointe was built, it was decided the apartments would be for
middle-income seniors and apartments would not be subsidized according to
income.
Currently we have 115 on our waiting list.
· Our current rental rates have not kept up with the average borough market rental
rate. Our rental fees are below average.
· HUD, AHFC, and Pet. Of Labor research reflects higher rates.
· CPI has risen 5%. (Please see attached sheet.)

MEMORANDUM

Linda L. Snow, City Manager
FROM' Keith Kornelis, Public Works Manager
DATE' May 27, 2005
SUBJECT: SB 46
I spoke with Mary Jackson of Senator Tom Wagoner's office today about SB 46,
which is the State's Capital Budget. The two grants are'
_ 1. City of Kenai- Kenai Public Improvements - $290,000
This grant was our share of a larger pot of money. The title was as broad
as it could be to give the City the most flexibility. It can be used for any
improvements the City wants.
2. City of Kenai- Kenai Road and Sewer Improvements - $790,000
This is also a discretionary grant and is our sham of a large pot of money.
The title to this grant had to be a little different than the other grant. It can
be used for any road and/or sewer project.
The Capital Budget, SB 46, still has to be approved by the Governor, and he has
line item veto.

Communications and Animal Control Departments. This annual report is a composite summary
of department activities across a broad spectrum of the police function; requests for police
services, criminal investigations and arrests, motor vehicle crash data, community programs,
emergency response partnerships, and department employee biographical information.

KENAI POLICE DEPARTMENT
Patrol
In 2004 Officers spent 23% of their total work time on patrol. This 23% is a significant decrease
from the 40% patrol time spent by the same number of officers in 1991. This diminished
presence within the community reflects the increase in demands on police service and resources.
An active patrol presence increases compliance with traffic laws, reduces injury vehicle crashes,
identifies drivers with revoked/suspended licenses or criminal warrants, and drivers under the
influence of alcohol and/or drugs. It further serves as a deterrent to persons who desire to
commit criminal acts, but choose to refrain from doing so because of the perceived strength of
police presence in the community.
Motor Vehicle Crashes
In 2004 the Kenai Police investigated 169 vehicle crashes out of a total of 362 reported; there
were a total of 349 crashes reported in 2003, of which police investigated 183. This decrease in
crashes may be attributable to increased traffic enforcement shifts specifically dedicated to
highway safety, with help in overtime funding from the Alaska Highway Safety Office.
Patrol resources are directed at identified high-risk times, high-risk intersections and stretches of
road, school zones, and the business district. The department completes an exhaustive Motor
Vehicle Crash Report each year, which helps target resources where they are most needed.
Investigations
In 1991 the department had 16 officers who spent 23% of their total work time on criminal
investigations. In 2004, the department' s 16 officers spent 45% of their total work time on
investigations. Although this is a 4% decrease from 2003, it still reflects increased numbers of
crimes requiring greater police attention/investigation. This increase in investigation time
directly affects the amount of patrol time, and vice-versa; when there is a lack of proactive police
presence, criminal activity increases, necessitating a reactive police response. Investigations of
crimes requiring large amounts of time and resources are nearly always those reported after the
crime has been committed. Crimes discovered and interrupted by proactive patrol are ot~en
potential "big cases" that never materialize because of early detection and immediate police
action.
Investigations of significance in 2004 that received significant amounts of police manpower and
resources included four sexual assault cases, several crOss-referenced sexual predator/computer
crimes by one person, one kidnap/sexual assault, a home-invasion armed robbery, a two-month
crime spree of burglary & vandalism & thefts, and a high-profile case involving the death of a
Kenai Assistant District Attorney.
Training
The Kenai Police Department seeks to maximize training dollar efficiency while maintaining a
standard that will serve our officers well in critical situations as well as day-to-day operations.
Required training must be in-depth reality-based training that truly prepares an officer to respond
effectively to extraordinary incidents, not roll-call type training where a topic is briefly outlined
and discussed. Ongoing training is critical in maintaining a professional police department.
KENAI POLICE DEPARTMENT
Civil and criminal laws are constantly changing, necessitating continuous legal review/update,
which is carried out in-house. In August 2004 Kenai Police and Fire Departments participated in
a 3-day Weapons of Mass Destruction response drill with the U.S. Army 103rd Civil Support
Team. This invaluable training prepares our police and firefighters to work together with the
U.S. Army biohazard/chemical weapons specialists for an effective response to such an incident.
In May of 2005 the department will be hosting the annual statewide Alaska Peace Officers
Association training conference, which will offer premier training for those in attendance.
Administrative Projects
Chief Kopp and Chief Walden continue to work through the Department of Homeland Security
program to upgrade the safety infrastructure of our city. The first phase of the Kenai Emergency
Operations Center was completed in March 2005. Antenna systems, antenna combiner, and a
Motorola Quantar radio are now in place. Grant funding will be pursued for the EOC until it is
operational to a level sufficient for city needs and partnership interests.
The Kenai Municipal Airport security camera system has greatly enhanced the entire public
safety network. Communications Center personnel are now visually directing responding fire
units to minor aircrat~ crashes on the runway, quickly ascertaining threats called in from airport
vendors and flight service operators, and responding to 911 calls from Airport payphones with
much greater understanding of what is occurring. Vehicle parking lots and aircraft itinerant
parking spaces are able to be monitored 24/7.
Chief Kopp is co-chair of Security for the upcoming 2006 Arctic Winter Games. This is
administratively time intensive, and much coordination is being done with the State Department
of Homeland Security, FBI, State Troopers, Municipal police agencies and many volunteer
groups.
Community Service
Officers are involved in many community support groups. They serve on the boards of directors
of the following non-profits in our area:
2006 Arctic Winter Games
Kenai Peninsula Youth Court
Kenai Peninsula Community Care Center
Boy Scouts of America, Explorer Post//460
Cook Inlet Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse
Leeshore Center (formerly Women's Resource and Crisis Center)
Kenai Peninsula Youth Detention Center- Citizen Advisory Council
Peninsula Crime Stoppers
Alaska Peace Officers Association
KENAI POLICE DEPARTMENT
Officers actively partner with civic organizations for Job Shadow, KPC Career Day, Health Fair,
Bicycle Rodeos, and other special days that broaden the horizons of our youth. Officers
volunteer in our community with the Boys & Girls Club, youth bowling leagues, Little League,
Pop Warner Football, and other summer programs. Our area churches and youth groups also
receive a considerable amount of volunteer support from our officers.
Conclusion
In 2004 the police department had 7,080 requests for service/investigations, up from 6,411 in
2003 and over half-again from the 4,817 calls for service in 1989, when Officer Chuck Kopp and
Officer Kim Wannamaker hired on with the department. It is a priority of the department to
dedicate the personnel and resources necessary to conduct quality criminal investigations. A
high solvability of major crimes is necessary for a perception of safety in our community.
The Kenai Police Department will continue to provide the very best in public safety services to
our City. The department is stable and has quality personnel with a strong public service ethic.
We will continue to be innovative and resourceful in our problem solving, crime prevention,
investigations, dipnet fishery management, and in our responses to all calls for service.
COMMUNITY PROGRAMS
D.A.R.E.
The Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program continues to receive support from the
children, parents, teachers, and administrators involved in the program. The Youth Services
Officer and one other Kenai D.A.R.E. officer presem the program to five 5th grade classes at
Mountain View Elementary School. The program teaches the children how to resist drugs,
interpersonal violence and other illegal activity. In 2004 about 130 fifth graders participated in
the 1 O-week curriculum. Approximately 25 to 30 percem of the Youth Services Officer's time is
spent with the D.A.R.E. program.
In the fall of 1995, the department began instructing a follow-up D.A.R.E. program to the 7th
graders at Kenai Middle School. This program reinforces lessons taught at the 5th grade level.
About 150 seventh-graders participated in the 2004 curriculum.
In late 2004 the department's Youth Services Officer participated in a mentor development
program and in the spring of 2005, will complete training/certification to train and certify
officers in the DARE Officer Training (D.O.T.) program. He is 1 of fewer than 10 in Alaska to
hold this D.A.R.E. Mentor- Instructor status.
POLICE EXPLORERS
In 1993 the Kenai Chapter of Alaska Peace Officers Association started a Police Explorers
program in cooperation with the Boy Scouts. Local high school students interested in law
enforcement careers participate in the program. Officers from the Kenai and Soldotna Police
Departments and the Alaska State Troopers provide training/instruction and coordinate the
program. After the students complete the basic training, they are able to assist local police
agencies with minor tasks.
S.A.R.T.
In October. 1998 the Sexual Assault Response Team (S.A.R.T.) became operational at the
Central Peninsula General Hospital (CPGH). Prior to that, sexual assault victims were
transported to South Peninsula Hospital in Homer for a S.A.R.T. exam. In 1997 a S.A.R.T.
steering committee was established to pursue instituting a S.A.R.T. program at CPGH. The
steering committee consisted of members from local law enforcement agencies, District
Attorney's Office, Leeshore Center, and CPGH. The committee obtained a state grant to
purchase some examination equipment and CPGH Provided additional equipment and
examination rooms.
Personnel and 'training issues caused the CPGH program to close and S.A.R.T. exams were again
performed in Homer. In 2004 the S.A.R.T. program experienced positive change, and in early
2005 the Kenai Public Health Center opened a S.A.R.T. exam office.
CRIMESTOPPERS
The Kenai Police Department provides the call taking service for the Central Peninsula
Crime Stoppers program on a non-recorded line. The department commits an officer as
the law enforcement coordinator to Central Peninsula Crime Stoppers. The coordinator is
responsible for dispersing tips to other Peninsula Agencies, and for presenting case facts
and tip information to assist the Crime Stoppers board in approving reward money. The
coordinator is also the voice of Crime Stoppers on local radio and with the local
newspaper.
Our local Crime Stoppers program was responsible for breaking up a significant burglary
ring in 2004, leading to multiple arrests and $25,000.00 in recovered stolen property.
One citizen received a $300.00 cash reward for their anonymous tip. The Central
Peninsula Crime Stoppers program entered the Internet world in 2004. Citizens can now
report tips anonymously at www. crimestoppersonline.com.
PUBLIC SAFETY PROGRAMS
During 2004 officers provided public safety presentations on numerous subjects
including: motorist safety, bicycle safety, child safety seats, drug awareness for parents,
Neighborhood Watch meetings, stranger/danger safety, decision-making/goals, business
and residential security surveys, robbery prevention, crisis communications and
Halloween safety.
HIGH SCHOOL MENTORSHIP
The Youth Services officer began participation in a high school mentorship program at
KCHS in 2003. Positive adult role models in our community participate in the program.
A mentor is assigned to one or two at-risk youth, and meets with them once a week at the
high school. This is a progressive, proactive nationwide trend that provides healthy adult
mentoring relationships for youths who are lacking positive role models.
NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH
The East Aliak Neighborhood Watch continues to interact with the police department as
an organized citizen group, and the Woodland Subdivision Neighborhood Watch (new in
2003) is successfully resolving vandalism and traffic safety concerns through their
Neighborhood Watch group.
VOLUNTEER SERVICE
In 2004 officers served on the .advisory boards of the LeeShore Center, Drug Free
Schools Committee, Domestic Violence Task Force, E-911 Advisory Board, Cook Inlet
Council on AlcohOl and Drug Abuse, Kenai Peninsula Community Care Center, Kenai
Peninsula Youth Detention Facility, Kenai Peninsula Youth Court and statewide law
enforcement committees. KPD participates with the KCHS and Kenai Chamber of
Commerce on Job Shadow Day, and with the Kenai Peninsula College on Career Day.

ARRESTS
The following statistical tables represent the number of arrests in each category of crime. Arrests
are not always an accurate measure of activity for the following reasons:
1. One arrest can clear multiple offenses.
2. Multiple arrests can clear one crime.
3. Warrants issued for an offense committed in Kenai and served in another jurisdiction are
not always counted.
4. Warrant arrests made by Kenai police officers for offenses committed elsewhere are
included in the table of Criminal Offenses and Arrests.

Traffic Contacts 3688 4305 1765
Citations Issued 1500 2032 1471
Kenai Police officers recorded 3688 traffic related contacts (down 14%), resulting in 1500
citations (down 25%). One hundred sixty-nine of these citations resulted from crash
investigations. 2004 crash data shows that 294 vehicles and 378 occupants were involved in
motor vehicle crashes in the City ofKenai. Seatbelts or approved restraint devices were
utilized 95% of the time. This is the same percentage reported in 2003.
The 25 injury accidems resulted in 45 persons reporting injuries. They ranged in definition
of possible, non-incapacitating and incapacitating. This is a reduction of 36% from the
previous year and a 47% reduction of injuries over the past two years.
Alcohol was a factor in eight crashes in which an arrest for Driving Under the Influence
(DUI) was made. Alcohol or drugs were involved in a total of 12 crashes. The average breath
alcohol concemration (BrAC) for an arrested driver in a moving vehicle accident was. 160,
twice the legal presumptive limit of. 08. KPD made 114 arrests for DUI in 2004, a decrease
from 121 in 2003 and 182 in 2002. Extensive media advertising and State grants for traffic
safety enforcement have helped in reducing the overall numbers of DUI offenders.
In 2004, 12 drivers involved in crashes were not insured and were found to be at fault. Seven
percent of accidents involved non-insured drivers. 111 drivers were issued summonses for
Failure to Insure Vehicle, and 147 citations issued for Failure to Show Proof of Insurance.
There is not a measurable system in place to determine how many of those cited actually did
Kenai Police Department
End of Year Report - 2004
not have insurance coverage. Additionally, eight drivers were found to have suspended or
invalid licenses, six of which were found to be at fault in 2004 crash investigations.
There were 29 crashes with moose, a decrease of 18%. Eight occurred between January and
March, while 15 occurred between September and December. The majority occurred
between mile 4 and mile 8, between mile 13 and 15, and on Bridge Access Rd. All but two
occurred on two lane, non-lighted roadways with a posted speed limit of 55 mph.
The 362 reported accidents in 2004 are an increase of 4%. The 169 crash investigations
represent an 8% decline from 2003. Reported accidents include vehicles in the ditch, those
that incur less than reportable damage minimums, and those occurring on private property.
The crashes were evenly spread among the days for occurrence. The majority happened
between 1200 and 1800 hours. The second highest time was between 1800 and 2400 hours.
Nearly 65% of the collisions took place in these time periods, and most of them before 8pm.
75% of the accidents occurred during the workweek.
Calendar year 2004 continued dedicated programs designed to reduce crashes and DUI
occurrences, and increase seatbelt use. The department added one full time position in 2004,
bringing the total department strength to 17. That position did not fill until December and did
not factor into statistics for this report. Patrol officers spent 45% of their time conducting
investigations and 23% of the time dedicated to patrol. Additionally, 8% of patrol officers'
time was allocated to training. KPD participated in Alaska Highway Safety Office gram
programs that added 298 dedicated traffic hours resulting in a safer community by reducing
injuries by 36% and overall accidents of 8%.
Our mission, together with the community of Kenai, is to make our city a place where all'
people live safely and without fear. The efforts of the Kenai Police Department in applying
community policing and innovative problem solving is reflected in the results represented in
this report towards support of our mission.

COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT
2004 ANNUAL REPORT
L to R: Jayms Hams, Greg Beckman, Nancy Wiles, Beverly Stavley, Lee Gattenby, Janet Matson, Danette
Howland, Scott Larson and Amy Mattox
The Communications Department is a designated E911 Primary Public Safety Answering
Point (PSAP) through which Kenai Police, Fire and Animal Control Departments are able
to maimain their law/code enforcement, emergency medical and search and rescue
responsibilities to the public. Kenai dispatch has also been designated as the back-up
center for the Soldotna PSAP (Soldotna Post AST) during emergencies. The department
answers five 911 lines, 16 administrative phone lines (18 lines after hours,
weekend/holidays), four radio frequencies, the FAA crash phone and the peninsula wide
Crime Stoppers line. The employees of the Communications Department are most often
the first contact the public has with the City.
During the 2004 calendar year, Dispatch fielded 7080 calls for service to Police and 1200
calls for service to Fire/EMS. It is typical that dispatch will answer 180 administrative
calls in a 24-hour period (peaking to 350 per day during the summer). The department
coordinates street and Airport grading, sanding and snow removal response after normal
business hours during the winter months. They also monitor and respond to city alarms
that service the Airport terminal and the Water Sewer lif~ stations. Dispatch routinely
handles walk-in customers for 'fix-it tickets', report requests, officer interviews or
informational inquiries 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Communications staff provides extensive support to the Police Department in the way of
record keeping and case file construction for submittal to various legal agencies (e.g.
District Attorney, Alaska Court System, Division of Juvenile Justice, Office of Child
Services). It maintains various statistical reports, including the FBI Uniform Crime
Reports, National Crime Information Center reporting, Alaska Public Safety Information
Network entry and Crime Stopper data. Dispatch also monitors alarms for business,
residential and financial institution security systems, and archives Department records.

2005 GAMING PERMIT APPLICATION
ATTACHMENT "A"
DEDICATION OF NET PROCEEDS'
The Kenaitze Indian Tribe proposes to dedicate 50% of its net proceeds to its tribaJly
operated programs, services and activities; and 50% to develop tribally owned lands, land
acquisition and buildings that will be used exclusively to house or accommodate our
tribal programs and program activities.
The Kenaitze Indian Tribe is a federally recognized Tribe since 1971, reorganized under
the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934, as amended for Alaska in 1936. The Tribe has
successfully administered federal/state grants/contracts for over 30 years that benefit its
Tribal Members, other Alaska Natives and American Indians residing with our service
delivery area. The following are some of the programs the Tribe currently admini~e~'
-Head Start; Housing; Dental/Health Clinic; Drug/Alcohol~ehavioral Health Programs;
Employment & Training; WIA; General Assistance; LIIIEAP; EPA; ICWA; Tribal
Courts; Elder and Youth Program; Tribal Operations; Cultural and Tribal Educational
Fishery.
Many of our programs operate from multiple leased or rented facilities. However, it is
the vision of the Kenaitze Tribal Council, the Governing Body, to acquire properties in
order to consolidate programs and tribal operations onto one or two site locations. The
Tribe steadily moves forward to accomplish this goal. About a month ago, we were able
to acq~ property in "Old Town Kenai", the number one site location Tribal Membem
selected in the Facility Feasibility Study.
