Discussion/Approval -- Display of Boat K-6 at Kenai Landing. Attorney Graves referred to information included in the packet and reported the following: · The donor, Jeff Jefferson, does not dispute the city owns the boat. · The initial boat donation was unconditional, however a subsequent monetary donation indicated some of the funds were to be used to maintain the boat. · Jefferson would like the boat to be displayed at Kenai Landing. · Because the boat was donated to the city unconditionally, Council has the authority to display it at Kenai Landing and an agreement for displaying it there could be prepared similar to the one developed for their displaying of the city's cannery equipment. · He is aware of the city donating property to non-profits, but not of donating to a private organization. In discussion of the issue, Council Member Gilman stated he agreed the city should give up the boat because of its neglect. He noted, he believed the boat, ff it were to be placed at Kenai Landing, would receive the maintenance it required; the donor wanted the boat to be maintained; the city did not maintain it; the boat should be placed at Kenai Landing with the conditional Kenai Lan~g maintains it. Council Member Massie concurred with Gilman and noted, he felt Kenai Landing would do a better job of maintaining the boat and agreed the boat should be placed at Kenai Landing. Sue Carter, 36875 Chinulna Drive, Kenai -- Carter explained she was the executive director of the Visitors Center at the time of the transaction. She asked if the monetary donation ($300) for maintaining the boat was in writing. Graves read from a letter signed by Visitors Bureau President, Fred Braun related to the donation for- maintaining the boat. Carter also noted: · It was her understanding, the Bureau received the monetary donation and they then contracted for refurbishing the boat. KEN~ CITY COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 1, 2005 PAGE 8 · Her concem was that many gifts had been accepted on behalf of the city, as was the boat, and moving the boat could set a precedent and indicate to family members of those who previously donated items, they could remove their donated items for placement elsewhere. · It was her understanding the Bureau's intent is to have the boat refurbished and repaired and would like to keep the boat at the Center given the history of the commercial fishing industry to the city. · Hopes the Council would take additional time in considering the issue before giving up donated items. Dan Van Z~e, 37035 Nicholas Lane, 8oldotn~-- Van Zee (Kenai Landing staffi' distributed some pictures of the boat, noting its present condition. Van Zee noted, the following: · The city did not live up to the expectations of the donee. The city was responsible for care of the boat. He feels the boat really belongs at Kenai Landing, but understood the city owns the boat. · He agreed a precedent could be set and they would consider a long-term lease because they would not want to invest funds into the refurbishing ff the city decides to take the boat back. · Kenai Landing has spent approximately $5,000 in developing a display area which was done before the concern of who owned the boat came to light. · He is aware of other discussions of the years related to refurbishing of the boat by the Bureau Board. · The origin~ donor believes the boat should be at Kenai Landing where it would be maintained. · There is concem moving the boat could also destroy it and if that would be the case, they would not want to move the boat. Graves indicated, if council is interested in displaying the boat at Kenai Landing, a proposal of either a long-term lease or special use permit should be developed and brought to council for consideration. Discussion followed by council and comments included the conditional of the boat should be maintained; agreement in that the city owns the boat; and, a precedent should not be set for donated items. Additionally, some members of the council felt the boat should stay at the Center and the city provide funding to have the boat repaired. MOTION: KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 1, 2005 PAGE 9 Council Member Ross MOVED to direct Admimstration to look into the feasibility of a special use permit tied to restoration of the boat and display at Kenai Landing. Council Member Gilman SECONDED the motion. VOTE: Swarner Absent Massie Yes Ross Yes Gilman Yes Buffer No Porter No Moore No MOTION FAILED.

Nate Kiel, 404 Lawton Drive, Kenai-- Kiel noted he is a government/civics teacher at Kenai Central High School and a part of the curriculum is for the students to work ten to 60 hours on a civic project in the community, either with the municipality or a non-profit organization. He believed a mini-grant program would be very helpful for KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 1, 2005 PAGE 11 students who have a good idea for a project, but no funds with which to carry it out. He encouraged council to consider the program. Porter explained she brought the concept forward because she believed it would allow opportunities for getting projects done for the community by high school students or other members of the community. A brief discussion took place in which council comments generally concurred with the concept, however some of the language would need to be amended, the funds should be taken from the Legislative budget (though none were identified for this purpose in the FY2006 budget), and funds awarded would need to be people who live in the city and the project would benefit the City of Kenai. Consensus of council was to refer the mini-grant issue to administration for amending and it be returned to council for final review. Discussion/Approval -- SOAR International Ministries, Inc.-- Lot 3, Block 1, General Aviation Apron: 1) Amendment to Lease Changing the Use; and 2) Request to Sublease to Air Supply Alaska, Inc. City Manager Snow reported, as the memorandum included in the packet indicated, SOAR International Ministries wishes to sublease to Air Supply Alaska, Inc. She noted, representatives from both organizations were in attendance, i.e. Eric Mayer (SOAR) and Shane Bolin (Air Supply Alaska). Snow added, the lease currently states the use as charter operations and operations and maintenance of aircraft used in scheduled commuter service. She stated, SOAR is requesting the change of use to hangar and office facility, air cargo services, maintenance and operation of aircraft, including fueling. Snow added, the memorandum stated fueling had been a traditional use on the property and a description of the tanks in service and when they had been in service was included in the memo, along with a description of the area was also included in the memorandum. Snow added, SOAR met with the Fire Marshall and a letter from the Fire Marshall was included in the packet for council review. She noted, the proposal had been reviewed by the city attorney and he had no objections. Additionally, the parties are in compliance with the borough and the city. MOTION: Council member Moore MOVI!ID for approval of the transfer of the lease and Council Member Ross 8F~ONDED the motion. Moore stated concern of the significant change in the lease for the use of the area and noted the original lease with SOAR stated the tenant shall maintain all applicable IZ~NAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 1, 2005 PAGE 12 insurance. He asked if the same verbiage relating to insurance would be included in the transfer, noting there would be additional liability with fuel tanks than just parking airplanes. City Attorney Graves explained, SOAR would have to continue with their current insurance requirements as required in their current lease. He added, their lease would still be in effect and they would still have to provide that insurance and provide the proof of insurance. Moore asked if that would include coverage for storing on-site fuel/fuel tanks. He added, he thought it would probably be more expensive to store fuel on-site than to park airplanes. Graves explained, he would have to check their liability policy to see if it included an exclusion for fuel spills. He added, they have a general liability policy, but he was not aware if it would specifically exclude fuel spills as he had not seen the language of the policy. He added, the proof of inSUrance noted the coverage for ordinary liability. Moore asked Graves if he knew if the new lessee would have insurance coverage for storing fuel tanks. Graves answered, the city does not monitor the insurance requirements between the lessee and the sub-lessee. The city monitors insurance requirements between the city and the lessee. Council Member Gilman stated his understanding of general liability insurance coverage would be an absolute environmental exclusion as part of it so that if there was a spill, it would be very expensive to clean up and there should be the appropriate type of insurance in place to cover that type of risk. He added, before council does this, it should be confirmed that type of insurance policy is in place. He added, he did not believe the general liability policy being offered by the lessee would provide that type of coverage. He added, he would be surprised if it did. Gilman stated, he did not believe it was a hypothetical risk, but a real risk that is out there. Ross requested the principles respond to the issue. Mike Kelly, 52590 Suzeanne, Nikiski. Kelly explained they would not be bringing any fuel tanks on site. He explained, they would have a fuel tank, which was there from the previous sub-lessee for jet fuel for one of their aircraft, and would also have~a fuel trailer on the airport at a different location, with 100, to fuel small aircraft. Kelly stated, they would not be setting up a big fueling operation. Referring to Shane- Bolin's letter, the possibility of hauling fuel was mentioned because the aircraft-., they have has that capability. However, they were not certain they would be doing that because it is not a primalT focus of their business (this would be a fuel truck and not a tank). He added, in essence, they would be conducting a very typical fueling operation for anyone having an aircraft on the airport. Porter asked if they were planning on having a fuel truck and not storing fuel there. Kelly answered, the fuel truck would be on site as well as the fuel trailer. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 1, 2005 PAGE 13 Gilman asked if a fuel spill occurred by the fuel truck on their property, would he have sufficient insurance coverage for that type of clean-up risk. Kelly answered no, they do not have that type of insurance for covering that kind of risk. He added, it was his understanding, as far as airport operations, he would be surprised that anyone out there fueling aircraft would have that type of coverage. Member Ross asked if there was a requirement on the fuel tankers at the airport, that when they are parked they are in a containment area. Acting Fire Chief Tilly referred to the memorandum included in the packet from Fire Marshall Baisden who indicated they follow the NFPA Standards 407 for aircraft fueling services. He added, he could not cite the particular reference, but from what he had seen on the airport, he had not noticed any fuel trucks being stored in a containment area. Buffer stated, typically when there is a fuel release a dam is not built around underneath it because of the volatile nature of the substance. He noted, he appreciated SOAR's intent, felt it was a great idea, and the airport is an important asset. The council with the Planmng Commission tries to make things work there and have come to an interesting crossroads where they are learning about new risks and hoTM businesses do things. He suggested adxninistration work with the parties to see if there is a way to identify something more specific than the language in No. 11 which states "The Tenant shall maintain all applicable insurance" and see if that applicable insurance could at least bring some level of pollution risk which would fall to the city if in the event there is a 1,000 release of fuel on the ground out there. He added, he wanted to be sure council is communicating it and see this thing happen, but wants to make sure the council balances the risk as much as possible for the city. Moore stated he expected a quick answer from the city attorney saying, yes it would be covered and then move on. He added, he was not aware if other lessees have to carry insurance for their fuel trucks and on-site storage. Moore stated he would amend his motion. MOTION TO ~: Council Member Moore MOVED to amend by approving the sublease contingent upon the administration's satisfaction that the sub-lessee is appropriately insured for the activities he's going to conduct at the airport. Council Member Ross SECOND~ the motion. Kelly asked if council was proposing they carry the same insurance as comparable operators or something in addition to and above other people who are operatin§.at the airport. Porter stated, it was her understanding it would be at least the same as other people have currently at the airport or council would re-look at all of them. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 1, 2005 PAGE 14 Graves stated a lot of the airport leases would have to be reviewed because it was his understanding this would not be a type of coverage historically a lot of the operators have there. Porter requested the motion tO amend be re-read. City Clerk Freas noted she would have to listen to the tape for accuracy, but stated her notes indicated it was a motion to amend and it was to approve it contingent upon the administration being satisfied that appropriate insurance coverage was available. Moore noted, "obtained for the activities to be conducted." Moore stated, some members of council had dealt with fuel contamination all over the city and the expense in cleaning it up. He added, he does not take it lightly and felt' there was a potential liability for cleanup. Ross stated he agreed with Moore's concerns, but noted, the cost of the insurance could be prohibitive. He added, he understood Buffer's point relating to contamm_ent area and volatility, however containment area is used elsewhere in the industry for parking of tanker fuel trucks (on the Moose Range, U.S. Forest Service requires it) and it is an easier way to deal with it than trying to do it through insurance because it is almost impossible to acquire.. Instead, bladder contain___rn_ent areas are used and is where the vehicle is stored overnight. He noted, it is an easier way to deal with it, it is far less expensive, and is something a small operator can afford. Gilman stated he was concerned about the risk and did not know what insurance was available or its cost and would be really concerned if the city's insurance would not pick it up. He used an example: There's a spill at the site; their (SOAR) insurance: does not cover it; they can't afford to pay for it because4t's a $150,000 clean-up~i'~. sometiting; and then the city goes to its insurance carrier and finds the city does~not have coverage either. He added, if that type of situation happens, the council needs to be apprised of it in order to make an acceptable decision of whether council wants to have that type of activity on the airport. Ross stated if the issue cannot be resolved related to the insurance, administration could come back to council with an alternative, i.e. bunkering for overnight, etc. He added, for the time being, he was satisfied Moore's motion would 'get the ball rolling' looking in the' fight direction. He added, if it is found it is not the way to proceed, administration could come back to council and it was not a 'no' to the parties either, but saying council is willing to look at it. City Manager Snow requested clarification, i.e. if in the event administration finds it cannot be resolved in the way the motion is worded, but could be resolved by running it through the city's insurance company, relating to the requirements listed in Fire Marshall Baisden's memorandum which noted six requirements all regarding fuel KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 1, 2005 PAGE 15 containment and fuel storage, if those requirements are met and the city's insurance covers other kinds of operations on the airport, that could be brought back to council for review. Several council members answered yes. Porter stated, it was her understanding the Fire Marshall set out the requirements. Kelly stated the fuel truck they were discussing is one that had been there with the previous lessee during their operation for the previous year and one-half. He added, the fuel trailer he is discussing is one for which they received approval (perhaps unknown to council) for fueling aircraft they currently have there. Kelly explained, what they were proposing for the two vehicles...if the city wants airplanes operating on the airport, they have to be fueled. He added, they appreciate and will be very good tenants as far as environmental risks, etc., however the reality is, if the city is going to run an airport and have airplanes on it, they have to have fuel. They are proposing is to run airplanes on the city's airport. Council Member Massie stated, apparently a similar fueling operation had been operating for several years and SOAR would not be doing anything different. He added, it may be good to fred out what insurance coverage is available,' but as far aa he was concerned, council could go ahead and pass it. Porter requested the vote on the motion. Freas noted, the vote would be on the amendment to the motion. VOTE ON AMENDMENT: Swamer I Absent Gilman Yes Moore Yes Massie Yes Buffer Yes Ross Yes Porter Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Porter requested the main motion be reread. Freas noted, the main motion was to 'approve the transfer of the lease.' Buffer requested a clarification the wording referred to "transfer" of the lease and not allowing the sublease. Freas stated she felt confident with the accuracy of her notes and had been a concern of hers at the time the motion was made as it did not refer to the amendment and the request to sublease. Moore stated he would accept that as a friendly amendment (to correct the wording of the motion to refer to the Amendment to Lease Changing the Use and 2) Request to Sublease to Air Supply Alaska, Inc.). The maker of the second, Ross, concurred.

Porter thanked Kelly for attending the meeting and wished them good luck with their business as it all worked out. I-5o Discu~ion -- Conoco/Phillips' Multi-Purpose Facility Naming Proposal. Snow referred to a memorandum and letter included in the packet which explained ConocoPhillips' desire to purchase the naming fights to the multipurpose facility: · Purchase and install signage. · Purchase naming fights from the City of Kenm of the multipurpose facility at a price of $5,000 per year for three years. · Placing an inside sign on the spectator facing wall ceiling, a lit building sign facing the front of the building, and a grounds sign outside the state right-of-way facing the highway. A brief discussion followed in which it was noted, this was a new idea and different from any other naming of a park, etc. that has been done in the past. Council requested the issue be forwarded to the Parks & Recreation Commission for a recommendation. It was noted, the issue could be added to the june 2 meeting, but advertised with the july meeting agenda. Peter Micctche, ConocoPhl!Hps Alaska-- Micciche noted ConocoPhillips had available philanthropic and advertising funds for this project; they consider this offer being a continuation of a parmership with the City of Kenai since 1967; he would be happy to go before the Parks & Recreation Commission; $17,500 of the funds to the city would come from their advertising budget and some of those funds could be used toward small repairs or running the facility; noted that throughout the Kenai Peninsula School District, ballfields, gyms and hockey rinks are surrounded with partnership signs and that is what they are offering, only in a larger size; the design of the sign could be adjusted; and, they want to be reco~i~ed as a partner. A brief discussion followed in which it was noted, the offer was for a three-year naming agreement; it is an interesting concept; ConocoPh~ps has not entered into a like agreement before; giving ConocoPhillips the right of first refusal for additional year~ could be ren¢§otiatcd and could open the door to a significantly larger donation, from another entity and allow ConocoPhillips to either match a higher amount or the higher KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 1, 2005 PAGE 17 offer could be a new naming entity. Attorney Graves noted, because this concept is an intangible object, neither the Charter or Code speak to how the city would sell a license to name a facility. Consensus of council was to send the issue to the Parks & Recreation Commission for review and comment and returned to council for further consideration.

ITEM L: ADMINISTRATION REPORTS L-1. City Manager-- City Manager Snow reported a letter was received from James McConnell representing the Senior Connection and making a formal request for a resolution of intent to donate a portion of the 77 acres in Mommsen Subdivision for an assisted living facility site. Snow suggested if council would like to proceed with a resolution, administration would place a draft resolution in the next packet for review. City Attorney Graves noted, the recently passed ordinance requires an intended donation of property without a public sale be presented by ordinance in order for public hearings to be held. Snow noted, there would be more procedures and processes needing to be taken prior to the actual donation of property being made. Snow noted, the resolution requested would be an expression of intent which would be.. included with the Connection's application. Consensus of council was to prepare a draft resolution and include it in the next council meeting packet for initial review. James McConnell, 19501 WinEham Circle, EaEle River-- McConnell reported the Senior Connection was in the process of advertising a request for architectural proposals for developing a preliminary design. They mailed out approximately 16- packages to architects. They are proceeding with the city property on Mommsen and are moving ahead using grant funds of $25,000 and $10,000 put forward by the Connection for this purpose. Attorney-- No comments. X-3.

Council Member Moore noted, at the June 1, 2005 council meeting, the lease amendment and sublease were approved contingent upon insurance coverage for the activities to be performed. He requested a staff report. City Manager Snow reported the following: · At the June 1 meeting, council directed administration to remm the issue to council if administration was not satisfied that the sub-lessee was appropriately insured for the activities as described by council. · Administration met with the sub-lessees at the Mayor's request. It wa~ established SOAR did not have the additional insurance coverage as identified by the council and neither did Air Supply Alaska, Inc. · The lessee and sub-lessee expressed their concems about the insurance coverage requested. · Information regarding other fueling activities at the airport and the amount of insurance required by the city was included in the packet as well as the city's requirement for its fueling operations. Finance' Director Semmens provided the following information' · He contacted the city's insurance broker who thought it would be possible for the city to procure certain coverage for pollution liability with some exception. · Basically, the city does not have pollution liability coverage in its current insurance policies. · Until an application for this type of insurance, including a complete description of the activity, no cost of that type of insurance would be available. The broker is willing to complete the application and submit it for a cost estimate. · The hand-written notes on the copies stated: Page 16 -- from the General Liability Policy/Exclusions Section, "Note: Airfield is totally excluded on this policy." And the exclusion language says, "Pollution is not covered, except as described in small letters i through iv, below." Page 11 -- from the Airport Policy, "Does not cover cleanup at all. It would cover our liability only in limited cases." Council Member Butler referred to a memorandum from Fire Marshall James Baisden regarding fuel storage requirements and asked if the requirements listed were consistent with all the other operators on the airport. Fire Marshall Baisden explained, there were two other operators on the airport: the city's at the float plane basin and Yukon Fuel. Baisden explained, the general guide'.lines provided are from the Fire Code; he met with the leSsee and sub-lessee and they came to the consensus the requirements were reasonable; the' Fire Department would do the same type of inspections with other fuel~g operations of this size; and, there may be private operators who do fueling of which they are not aware, however, they would require the same for other operations of the size proposed. SPECIAL KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 9, 2005 PAGE 3 Porter asked if the city was asking Air Supply Alaska to do anything that anyone else at the airport is currently not doing. Baisden answered no, these requirements are typical for the size of operation. Moore asked if the requirements would be different if the fuel would be stored on trailers. Baisden answered, the code varied for amount of fuel and how it is carried, etc., but would be more stringent with fLxed tanks than mobile tanks. Swamer asked if the Fire Marshall's requirements were included in the new sublease. Snow answered, they were and the lessee and sub-lessee were in agreement with the conditions. Buffer stated, because the operation would be stored on gravel and would not be close to navigable water, cleanup would be much easier. He added, he believed the mitigation plans were sufficient for cleanup of a spill on gravel. Buffer stated he v~o'- uld support the motion. Moore stated he believed the issue was liability to the city; council is to promote and protect the city; the matter having been brought up asks how the city would expect the lessees to be covered for spills, etc. if the city is not insured for it; and, ne believed the concern is serious.

Snow, City Manager Date: June 7, 2005 RE: K-6 Boat Today I spoke with Tom Tomrdle, who was recommended by Mya Renken, Executive Director of the Kenai Convention and Visitor's Bureau as the best person to answer the two questions posed by Council at the meeting of June 1 st. Mr. Tomrdle emailed the following information: (1) The K-6 boat can be moved, provided the proper steps for safe shore side transport are taken and the right trailer is used. (2) He inspected the vessel and determined that quite a bit of work is required. From a cost standpoint, there has been substantial deterioration and damage to the vessel. To bring the boat back to a condition similar to what it was when placed at the Visitor's Center, he estimates the repair cost at between $7,500 and $10;000 including both materials and labor.

Alaska 996112 Re: Land Donation Kenai Senior Assisted Living Project Dear Mayor Porter and Honorable Council Members- Over the past few months the Kenai Senior Connection Board and I have met with select property owners within the City of Kenai as well as Council and Borough Assemblv members to determine the best course of action regarding acquisition of property fgr the Senior Assisted Living Project. This correspondence is a culmination oft bose meetings and a formal request for a land donation from the City of Kenag After inspecting 20 parcels within the city limits, the possible choices have been reduced to two, the first being a portion of Mommsen Subdivision owned by the City of Kenai and the second being the parcel at the comer of Lawton Drive and Swims Road, owned .... by the Kenai Borough. Mommsen Subdivision is 77 acres and can be subdivided to me~. the' longtermdevetopment goals, and~needs, of the senior community, whi'le the S~.- Road parcel is set at 20 acres. The other issue related to these parcels is that we understand the City Council will consider donating a portion of the Mommsen property to the project while the Swims Road parCel must be purchased at Fair Market Value. In the "grant world" for senior homing projects, there are two review factors that are weighed heavily when grant agencies agree to participate. One is called "Match" and the other "Leverage". Matching dollars are contributions to the project such as cash injections, materials and/or'land donations. Leverage dollars are other agency grant dollars, such as the Denali Commission looking to see if we are getting comparable grants from the Federal Home Loan Bank, Rasmuson Foundation or Alaska Housing., and vice versa. The Kenai Senior Connection Board has worked diligently to inspect numerous parcels of land, under as many possible acquisition options as possible. At this time the most effective, and timely, approach is to request a land donation from the City of Kenai. 19501 Wingham Circle, Eagle River, Alaska 99577 (907) 694-6790 · (907) 694-6791 Fax · (907) 229-3078 Cellular . In the early stages of a project such as this, acquisition of land is the driving force to secure development grants and/or loans. This project is at that juncture and is ready to move out of pre-development into the development phase once site control is confirmed. After our meeting with Council members Gillman and Butler and Assembly members Glick and Chay, the Board directed me to formally request a donation of up to 30 acres of the Mommsen Subdivision Property. I waited to submit this correspondence tmtil we completed the Request for Proposal for Architectural Services (copy attached) for the development of the property. As you will see in the RFP, we have directed the respondents to consider the Mommsen Subdivision as the primary and the Swires Road Property as the secondary parcel. Kenai Senior Connection is working off a $20,000 Pre-Development grant from AHFC and must use those dollars before the end of June or loose them, hence the RFP prior to confirming site control. Funds foom this grant allocated to design and engineering are set at $15,000. An additional $10,000 has been committed from the Kenai Senior Connection Trust Fund to facilitate completing the design and taking the project into the next phase of development. The long term goal of the Seniors in the Central Peninsula is to see a senior community where assisted living services can be provided next to independent senior housing and a senior center. At this time 20 acres would be considered the minimum size parcel to facilitate a 30 year development plan. We are requesting up to 30 acres of Mommsen Subdivision be dedicated toward this goal with the understanding the final acreage will be determined after the Master Site Plan is completed and accepted. To assure the project moves forward as presented, and to protect the City's interest, I recommend any donation be structured as follows: 1. The property would be donated to a non-profit 501 (¢) 3 corporation whose emphasis is to develop assisted living and senior housing projects. For no~ Kenai Senior Connection, Inc. qualifi~' for this status. Ul~at¢ly a new corporation would be established to oversee operations of the assisted living home and furore development of the property. 2. The transfer is restrictive in that it must be used for senior housing projects such as facilities that provide nursing home level of care, independent housing, senior service centers and/or commercial applications that support the senior community, such as a gift shop for arts and crafts or office space within a facility that provides additional income to the project. 3. A timeline be set for the various stages of the project. I would suggest the assisted living facility be targeted for construction within three (3) years and the independent senior housing within five (5) years. The current plan is to request gr~t and loan funds for the assisted living facility this fall and early next spring, then take it to bid the summer of 2006. If there is a funding delay with a major grant the project typically moves into the next season. A three year timeframe is reasonable as if gives the Kenai Senior Connection Board time to complete the architectural and engineering design, apply for grants and solicit a professional finn to operate the/hcility, all of which will be grant requirements. 4. The property can be subdivided to meet funding requirements and land allocation projections for each phase of the development. Our early estimates envision the assisted living facility using 6-8 acres, the independent senior housing 10 or more and the senior center another 5. The plan is to incorporate walking paths, park/picnic areas and future buildings sites. The acreage allocations will be quantified as the Master Site Plan is developed though each project will have separate funding requirements and timeframes for development, which necessitates subdividing the property as it is developed. 5. Cost of transfer and subdivision is to be borne by Kenai Senior Connection, Inc. Initially, the cost would be covered by the City of Kenai though as grant funds are acquired for development of the property all costs incurred by the City of Kenai would be repaid. Kenai Senior Connection, Inc.'s Board of Directors voted unanimously to request a donation of up to 30 acres of the Mommsen Subdivision. I have asked Board President. Anna Wheeler to co-sign this correspondence to initiate the formal request. We will provide a resolution from the Board, formalizing the request after their next board meeting. The resolution will address stipulations 1-5 listed above though will also be subject to any additional conditions recommended by the City's attorney. To facilitate our efforts, a commitment letter from the City for the donation will act as "site control" and allow us to move forward with the development grant requests. We will be given conditional commitments requiting transfer of the property prior to receiving funds though showing site control is the critical element at this time. We thank you for your support of this project and the comments and recommendations of the council members who participated in our workshops. We look forward to moving out of pre-development into an active development phase in the very near future. Please feel free, to call with any questions, or, if you wish us to provide a formal update/presentation to the full City Council please let me know when it is convenient and we shall be there.

MEMORANDUM To: Linda Snow, City Manager [//~;2' From' Larry Semmens, Finance Directorffff.~ Date' June 8, 2005 Subject: Recommendation to Continue the PERS Rehired Retiree Program The legislature passed HB 161 which deals with rehiring persons that are retired and drawing pension benefits from PERS. The legislature did not like the program as it existed, so several changes were made making it much more difficult to participate in this program. The City has six employees still employed under the original program. new program sets up three category's of employees: 1. Employees rehired prior to November 3, 2004; 2. Employees rehired after this date; and 3. Employees rehired after July 1, 2005. The On November 3, 2004, PERS and the Attorney General issued a letter basically telling everyone that the advice previously given, that employees would continue in the program until they quit working for the City, was in error and the program would sunset June 30, 2005. We have five employees in Category 1 and one employee in Category 2. Our Category 2 employee has to remm to work as a regular active employee effective July 1, 2005, or choose to quit working for the City. Category 1 employees may continue to work and collect retirement benefits, including health benefits, until December 31, 2006, at which time they must either quit working for the City or remm to work as active employees in PERS. However, beginning July 1, 2005, the employer must provide the same health insurance coverage to these employees as other employe.~and the employer must pay the past service liability portion of their PERS rate on these employees. What this means for the City is that we will have to provide health insurance at a cost of about $12,000 annually per employee, plus .43% of annual salary for PERS past service liability. PERS is seeking an AG opinion to answer our question of who has the option to choose to continue under the new program~the rehired employee or the employer? Clearly, it is a new program and the Ci~ is not realizing the same savings under this program as before, due primarily to the health insurance cost. So, arguably the agreements the City made with employees are void, but it is quite possible that the AG will stipulate that employees in the program have the option to continue in the program and the employer has no option. It would certainly be in the State's best interest to take that position. It is my recommendation that we continue with the program for several main reasons. First, we all relied on information provided by PERS that once in the program the person would continue in the program until they quit working for the City (or 5 years in some cases). Second, even though we will have to pay health insurance for the employees, it will still be less expensive than if the same employees remm to work as active PERS members, because we will pay a PERS rote of.43% rather than 13.67% in the first year. Third, the program is only slated to mn for another year and a half so any negative impacts of the program will be of short duration. Fourth, all of the affected people are supervisors with long tenure with the City, and we should be concerned with how eliminating the program would affect them. There may be many opinions on th/s, but I think the right thing is to continue the Program. This woUld be consistent with Resolution 2005- 02, copy attachett. As I seeit the council has a couple options:' If the council wishes to continue with the program, I hope they make that decision at the June 15, 2005 meeting. If the~council does not want to continue with-theprogram, I think they will have to wait until the AG opinion comes out later this month to be certain the option to terminate the program is available.

ALASKA MEMORANDUM To: Mayor Porter & City Council Mem~sc, rs From: Linda L. Snow, City Manager Date: June 9, 2005 RE: Land Trade for Boating Facility Exit Road This project began in 2001, when $350,000 was appropriated by the Legislature to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for property acquisition along the Kenai River to build a boat launch facility. The City Council adopted Resolution No. 2001-85 (Attachment A) supporting the DNR purchase of certain lands for the Project. In short, DNR never purchased any property for the project, and in May 2003, the City of Kenai requested and was granted reappropriation of the $350K for the project as described in Attachments B, C, and D. A grant agreement was fully executed for this project in October 2003, and the administration has pursued the project with the Harbor Commission and the City Council. On June 9, 2004, a memo from Keith Komelis (Attachment E) was included in city council packets for the June 16, 2004 meeting. At the meeting, the Council directed the administration to proceed with the next steps towards a possible land trade, which are described in Attachment E and include a DNR appraisal of the ten acres of Conservation Fund land we need to own for the boat launch exit road and parking area. On October 27th, 2004, a memo from Keith Komelis (Attachment F) was included in the city council packets for the first November meeting. The Council agreed to obtain an appraisal of city owned wetlands area, the value of which is close to the value of the land we need to own for the boat launch exit road and parking area. Please see Attachment # 1, a memo dated June 9, 2005 from Keith Komelis. At present, the Conservation Fund is willing to trade its 6.42 acre land parcel in the boat launch area (appraised · at $80,000) for the city's 93.13 acre parcel #7 appraised at $90,000 and located on the colored aerial photograph in Attachment # 1). The Conservation Fund is also willing to pay the City $10,000 in cash to equalize the value of the potential land trade. KMC 22.05.070 states, "The Council may approve, by resolution, after pubic notice and an oppommity for public hearing, the conveyance and exchange of a parcel of City property for property owned by another person subject to such conditions as Council may impose on the exchange, whenever in the judgment of the City Council it is advantageous to the City to make the property exchange." The administration is asking Council to review the information and determine whether it wishes to proceed with the land trade as described in order to obtain the property, required for the boat launch exit road and additional parking. We ask Council to consider the importance of developing this road for the benefit of the community and facility users, as well as recognizing the project as a critical component of improving local management control of the dip net fishery. At times, the line of vehicles with boats or trailers extends all the way down the Boat Launch Road, and there has been traffic backed up onto the Bridge Access Road., As some of you know. once a vehicle is in that line-up, there is no way out of it for hours. Emergency vehicles cannot gain access to the facility, since the existing road is not wide enough. A one-way exit from the facility would allow users to make a loop to the line to retrieve their boats or to exit directly. The 6.42 acres will be enough for the exit road and badly needed additional parking. The full $350K fi'om the State will add two new ramps. If the Council wishes to make the exit road project a reality, it will not only need to approve an acceptable land trade but also to make funds available for construction of th.~-::. road. The administration also recommends Council review the purchase proposal from the Conservation Fund described in the Komelis memo of June 9, 2005. The Fund would like to purchase parcels identified on the aerial maps as #'s 1,2,4,5, and 6 for their appraised values, which in total equal $557,000. The Conservation Fund has advised in its letter dated June 2005, that unless an agreement can be reached on this offer by August 2005, the offer will be withdrawn. The Council may w~sh to review this matter and refer it to the Harbor Commission for a recommendation at its meeting of July 11 t~. The matter could be placed on the Council agenda, with a Commission recommendation, for the council meeting of July 20t~. This would allow the administration time to reach an agreement with the Conservation Fund, if that were Council's decision, or to advise the Conservation Fund as to the Council's rejection of the offer, if that were the decision.

WHEREAS, the Kena/City Council has for many years desired to develop a boat launch in the lower Kenai River; and, WHEREAS, due to increased interest, the Alaska Legislature appropriated $350,000 to the Department of Natural Resources in the 2001-2002 Capital Budget for the purchase of property to be used for the development of a boat launch access facility for the lower Kenai River; and, WHEREAS, because the identified property adjoins Cunningham Park, the issue of constructing a boat launch facihty was discussed with the City of Kenai Parks & Recreation and Harbor Commissions where both concerns and support were expressed in regard to developing a facility that will not impact the current users of Cunningham Park; and, . WHEREAS, representations by the Department of Nature Resources, Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation assure involvement of the City of Kenai and public input in the design of the boat laun. ch facility. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED'BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALAS~, that it supports the State Department of Natural Resources purchase of property identified as Lots 3-6, Wild Rose Subdivision, Kenai, Alaska for the development of a boat launch access facility for the lower Kenai River. PASSED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, this s~eventh day of November, 2001. ATTEST: Carol L.

In November, 2001, the City Council passed its Resolution No. 2001-85 supporting the State Department of Natural Resources' purchase of property in the Wild Rose Subdivision for development of a boat launch access facility for the lower Kenai River. The identified property adjoins Cunnmgham Park and while the prospects of developing a boat launch on the property and the $350,000 appropriation was very acceptable to the City of Kenai, the actual purchase of the property never went forward due to different concerns in the community, i.e. environmental, commercial drift' boat users, neighboring property owners, etc. As you are aware, the State of Alaska directed a dip net fishery be available in the Kenai River/City of Kenai and ff re-appropriation of the $350,000 is being considered, we would request those funds be awarded to make the following improvements to the Kenai City Dock: · Add two new launch ramps. · Add a new road as an exit to the boating facility o_x widen and upgrade the existing road. Facts to support our requests are: · The dip net fishery is a State fishery. · Over 15,000 dip net perm/ts for households are issued each year and over 100,000 fish are caught in the Kenai River fishery. Senator Tom Wagoner May 7, 2003 Page 2 · Personal dip net fishermen come from all over the state to use the City of Kenai Boat Launch Road, parking lot, and launch ramps. · The biggest bottleneck restricting the number of dip net users at the Dock is having only two launch ramps. · Adding two ramps would allow more users and faster access to the River (there can be a two-hour wait to get a boat into the water and another two-hour wait to retrieve it). · At times, the line of vehicles with boats or wailers extends down Boat Launch Road almost to Bridge Access Road presenting many problems of access. · A one-way exit from the facility would allow users with or without boats to exit directly or allow vehicles with a wailer to make a loop to the line to retrieve their boats. Again, these improvements are very badly needed as they are a direct result of the heavy use of the dip net fishery. Since the dip net fishery is governed or regulated in this a_rea by the State of Alaska, the re-appropriation of the $350,000 for these improvements would relieve some of the costs to the City caused by the impact of the State's fishery. We are enclosing another copy of our Resolution No. 2003-10 which lists our Capital Improvement Lists and has additional information in regard to the two projects noted above. Thank you again for contacting us re'regard to the $350,000 re-appropriation. Your help in acquiring these funds for the above-referenced projects will be greatly appreciated[ CITY OF KENAI John ':.

Linda Project 3' CITY OF KENAI REQUEST FOR STATE GRANT 2003-2004 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NAME: STATE OF ALASKA DIP NET FISHERY PROJECTS TOTAL PROJECT COST: $1,000,000 STATE ASSISTANCE REQUESTED: 100% PROJECT DESCRIPTION: (See Drawing) a. New Launch Ramps- Top Priority $350,000 This part of the project is to add two new launch ramps with a floating dock between the romps. It would be similar to the existing launch ramps. b. Dock Area Paving $40O,0O0 This part of the project is to rebuild the Boat Launch Road and a portion of the Boating Facility parking lot, which is presently gravel. The project includes asphalt paving, parking striping, and signage. c. New or Upgrade of Dock Access Road $250,000 This part of the project is to add a new road as an exit access to the boating facility or to widen and upgrade the existing road. PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: Personal dip net fishermen from all over the state use the Boat Launch Road, Parking Lot, and Launch Ramps. Over 15,000 dip net permits for households am issued each year, and over 100,000 fish are caught in this Kenai River fishery. The City Boat Facility handles most of this fishery. This proiect will improve the Boating Facility operation and make it a lot cleaner. The biggest bottleneck that restricts the number of dip net users is having only two launch ramps. This project would provide users an additional two ramps allowing more users and faster access to the dver. Under the present conditions, sometimes there is a two-hour wait to get a boat into the water plus another two-hour wait to get the boat out of the water. This project will greatly enhance the health and quality of life of its users. At the present time, users of the Boating Facility use staging areas that are gravel surfaced Dip Net Fishery Projects Page 2 and often dirty and unsanitary. Dust in the area is a problem since dust retardants cannot be used due to the closeness to the water. Users spend time in staging areas getting their boats ready to load and unload onto their trailers and in parking. This project would definitely enhance recreational opportunities for dip net fishermen. Informational signs would also enhance the understanding of the area. At times, the line of vehicles with boats or trailers extends down Boat Launch Road almost to Bridge Access Road. This presents many problems of access on this narrow road. Users often have to exit the facility and drive down Bddge Access Road to find a place to turn around and then back to Boat Launch Road to get in line to retrieve their boats. A new one-way exit from the facility would allow users with their boats to exit directly or allow vehicles with a trailer to make a loop to the line on Boat Launch Road to retrieve their boats. Another alternative would be to widen the existing road and reroute a return. The three parts of this project are very badly needed, and they are a direct result of the heavy use of dip net fishermen. Since the dip net fishery is governed or regulated in this area by the State of Alaska, the City of Kenai is requesting funds ~.o help relieve some of the costs caused by the impact of this fishery. That is also why this project is entitled "State of Alaska Dip Net Fishery Projects." 23-LS8002~.105 Uterrnohie $/15/03 AMEND ME N,,,]' OFF~.RED IN 'life HOUSE TO: Reappropnation Bill B Y R.

I Sincerely; Dan Shantz Steve MacSwain, MAI Alaska State Certificate No. 47 Alaska State Certificate No. 42 I 04 ! 095: Kenai Boat Launch : MacSwain Associates Chapter 2: Property Description and Analysis Overview: We prepare a brief description and analysis of the 6.42-acre appraised parcel located just west of the Bridge Access Road/Beaver Loop Road intersection. Importantly, we calculated the subject land area from an aerial photograph provided The Conservation Fund and mapping with dimensional boundaries obtained from the KPB. Facing exhibits help illustrate the physical, legal, and economic character of the appraised parcel. Property Type: Vacant industrial-zoned land Location: The appraised parcel fronts the west side of Bridge Access Road 1.5_+ miles southeast of the Kenai commercial district. Contiguous to the west parcel boundary is the Kenai Boat Launch. Neighborhood': The subject is located in the City of Kenai indUstrial area that fronts the Kenai River near its mouth. Fish processing and related facilities are the principal land use of developed land, although attrition in the fishing industry has caused re-development to some facilities. We also observed land developed with freight distribution, mini-storage, log cabin manufacturing, and yard storage. The City of Kenai owns about one-third of the industrial- designated land with the remainder in private ownership. A city dock and boat ramp is also located in the neighborhood. Development of non-riverfront land is sparse and demand is limited. The closure of several fish processing facilities as well as a decline in the commercial fishing industry compounds the scarcity of neighborhood demand for industrial-zoned land. We anticipate future demand will be from light industrial or commercial use rather than heavy industrial. Land Description: The appraised parcel sets below access grade with Bridge Access Road and extends westerly to the north end of Boat Launch Road. Importantly, the appraised parcel is north of the low-lying wetlands that affect the development potential of contiguous land.~ ~, determined from aerial photographs and mapping that the parcel width is 320_+ feet while its depth ranges from 786:t: foot on the north boundary to 998± feet on the south. Listed below are important physical characteristics pertaining to the appraised parcel.

As a Restricted Use Appraisal Report a minimal amount of information describing the property or the development of the conclusions of value are presented. The value estimates were developed following a complete appraisal process with a physical-. inspection of the property. This restricted use appraisal report was prepared for your* exclusive use;. to- assist you in determining the Market Value of the. subject property the April 22, 2005 effective appraisal date. Supporting documentation regarding the basis for the value estimates is retained in our files and available for review with you upon request. Thank you for this assignment and the opportunity to be of service to the City of Kenai. ATTACHME:NT ~ Restricted Use Appraisal Report Client Intended Use/ Purpose Scope of Work Property Identification Keith Kornelis, Public Works Director City of Kenai 210 Fidaigo Avenue, Suite 200 Kenai, AK 99611 To estimate Market Value for the sole purpose of assisting the client, the City of Kenai, in determining Market Value of the individual parcels for their use in negotiating a potential land trade with the Conservation Fund. Based on consultations with the client, consistent with the intended use/purpose, the appropriate scope of work was developed. A physical inspection was made of the parcels appraised, neighborhood, and market data analyzed in the valuation process. The appraiser also relied on notes and photographs taken during previous inspections along the Kenai River. Additional data was obtained from available maps/aerials, and through inquiries with the Borough's Kenai River Center, utility providers, and other knowledgeable about the Kenai River. The value analysis utilized the Sales Comparison technique. In this process comparable sales data was researced and then analyzed. Data sources included the appraiser's market data bank, ML$ sale/listings data, research of recorded documents, real estate agents/brokers, and parties to the transactions. In the valuation process quantitative and qualitative adjustments were made to the comparables for differences in' comparison to the parcels appraised. The extent of analysis required was increased due to the parcel's primarily wetlands characteristics, Kenai River frontage, and the lack of constructed road access and utilities to all of the parcels except Parcel 2. Numerous sales and listings were researched to provide a basis for applying market-derived adjustments. Seven acreage tracts fronting on the Kenai River between River' Mile 5 -.11. Due to their legthy metes and bounds legal descriptions for valuation purposes they are identified by their Kenai Peninsula Borough Parcel numbers in the property description section which follows. DERRY & ASSOCIATES, Inc. ,, ATTACHMENT Appraisal Dates Interest Valued Ownership History Property Description Date of Inspection' April 22, 2005 Effective Date of Value' April 22, 2005 Date of Report' April 26, 2005 Fee Simple The City of Kenai, owner of record, has owned the parcels in excess of the three-year reporting period. Dunng this time frame the parcels have not been listed for sale. Them are no reported pending offers to purchase/sell any of the tracts.' However, according to the client this appraisal will be used to establish a basis for negotiating a potential land trade with the Conservation Fund. The appraiser has no knowledge of the value of the acreage to be traded. The follOwing table summarizes physical characteristics of the parcels. Soils data is from the US Soil Conservation Service Soil Survey for the Kasilof-Kenai Area. For the most part the parcels contain a high proportion of poorly drained, mostly peat type soils with a high water table. Copies of the Borough's new wetlands oveday maps for the neighborhood are included at the end of this report. Except for Parcel 2 which fronts on Angler Drive along the north boundary the other parcels do not have constructed road access or public utilities available. Due to the proximity to the mouth of the Kenai River at Cook Inlet this section of the river is subject to tidal fluctuation and the river level increases at the incoming to high tide. Parcels 4-7 are islands and reportedly subject to some.::- flooding at higher tides~ A portion, if not all, of each parcel, i~:. within a designated floodplain, with a base elevation established~. at fourteen feet. Sizes reported are from the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assessor, s.- plat map. Due to possible erosion and/or accretion all of the. parcels may vary in size from that reported: This is likely considering they were. platted as government lots many years, ago- The appraiser reserves the dght to modify the value conclusions if a survey by a Registered Land Surveyor reveals a variation in size from that used in this appraisal. The parcels are within the city limits of Kenai and zoned Rural Residential. DEARY & ASSOO&TES, [~c ATTACH~'~F.

Elements of comparison include sale terms, market conditions (date of sale), site size, road frontage/location, topographic features/quantity of wetlands, dverfront amenity, availability of utilities, shape, and legal constraints. Concluded Value: Following analysis of the comparables the estimated Market Value of the individual parcels is concluded as follows: Parcel 1 (46+/- acres) Parcel 2 (622+/- acres) Parcel 3 (12+/- acres) Parcel 4 (15+/- acres) Parcel 5 ( 61+/- acres) Parcel 6 (2+/- acres) Parcel 7 (93+~-acres) $46,000 $475,000 $90,000 $8,000 $27,500 $1,000 $90,000 The value conclusions are based on cash sale terms and assuming a sale of each tract to a separate buyer. The Market Value of all of the lots combined would indicate a discount from the total of the Market Value conclusions of the individual parcels. The parcels are valued based on the sizes reported on the Kenai Peninsula Borough Tax Assessor's map.

In the most general terms, there are at least four distinct Native cultural groupings in Alaska and dozens of sub-cultures.

Empire-builders and dr~me~, soldien and farmen, loggen and fish- ermen, m~ne~ and a conman or two all hel~d to build this land. The sto~ of the state is reflected in the courage and pioneering spirit that are still a part of life in Al~ka. A New Economy Today, Alaska enjoys a vigorous, diversified economy. The state's unique global position makes it an international crossroads for satellite communications, aerospace development, and air travel.

From: Linda L. Snow, City Manager ~ Date: June 9, 2005 RE: Lawton Acres Proposed Rezone The Planning Commission voted unanimously last night to deny the City's petition to rezone a portion of Lawton Acres from Conservation to Limited Commercial. There were 18 people who gave testimony last night--three of those spoke in support of the rezone. According to City Clerk Carol Freas, Gina Kiel, who testified in favor of the rezone, also submitted 25 letters stating "...support of the rezone of Lawton Acres fi'om conservation to limited commercial." Decisions made by the Commission are subject to a 15-day appeal period. In this case, the appeal period expires at 5:00 p.m. on June 23, 2005. Appeals must be submitted in writing to the City Clerk. Please advise if the City Council wishes to proceed further by initiating an Ordinance to rezone the subject property. CITY OF KENAI KENAI RIVER DIPNET FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR 2005 South Beach Access The City received another permit this year from the Borough to place a paystation in the Dunes Road right-of-way (ROW). The City did not receive a permit this year from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to temporarily close Old Cannery Road to vehicular access. As a result, a second paystation will be located in or near the Royal Street ROW. , North Beach Access Some paving improvements have been made to this access area, at the end of South Spruce near the beach. There is a nice paved area near the restrooms for large dumpsters. A concrete piling in the turnaround area at the end of Kenai Avenue will be moved to allow a wider turning radius for vehicles and to provide additional space for porta-potties and dumpsters. A zoning amendment to allow a seasonal vendor in an area zoned Conservation, or similar language, should be recommended prior to next season. This would allow a great little concession area to be set up next year through a special use permit. Signage Each of the paystations will be clearly signed to identify the City of Kenai. There will be a new, two-sided master signboard at the South Spruce paystation, where it can be read by amving motorists and will adequately inform them of where to park, beach access, camping and authorized fire areas. Both sides of the signboard will have duplicate information, with the backside for pedestrians/passengers of vehicles already parked. On the south beach access at Dunes Road, there will be larger signs indicating beach access, dip net fishing, and the $10 parking fee. A th-fold brochure containing a site map and the information will be produced and distributed to arriving motorists and available for pedestrians. This pamphlet will also be available at City Hall, the police department, and on the city website. Paid Parking. & Camping The cash handling process that was implemented and streamlined during the '04 season will be followed again this season. There will continue to be two seasonal enforcement officers with cell phones and radios, in addition to the scheduled on-duty police officers. Each paystation will have a cell phone to improve security. Due to the complications, expenses, enforcement problems, and estimated little use, a punchcard or seasonal pass will not be implemented. Parking and camping will once again be enforced through the proactive presence of uniformed police officers, seasonal enforcement officers, and tow tracks as necessary. Fires No fires will be allowed on the north beach North of South Spruce extended, toward Nikiski. Fires will be allowed toward the mouth of the fiver so long as they are at least 25' from dunes vegetation. Fires have not been an issue on the south beach. Trash / Refuse / Dumpster Service There will be increased service on both sides of the beach,, with two, six-yard dumpsters serviced daily. Parks and Recreation personnel will do litter patrol again this year and will work together with the Boys & Girls Club "Project Protect" program. Restrooms / Port-a-Potties Restroom services will improved this year, with eight portable units on each side of the beach, with daily service. In addition, one portable unit will be placed near each paystation for city agents and for pedestrian use. MEMORANDUM To: From: Date: Subject: Linda Snow, City Manager Rachael S.

The crew spent much of May prepping flower beds, mowing, setting irrigation hoses, prepping ball fields, spraying dandelions, and other miscellaneous pre-season work such as hanging banners. The early spring-like season prompted more mowing than prior seasons and kept crews busy. Our volumeer plant day was organized for Saturday, May 28a'. Volumeers planted all the concrete circle planters, Erik Hanson Scout Park, Visitors Center, and Leif Hanson Scout Pare The Kenai Rotary Club prepped one of the Chamber beds and Team Tesoro will be planting the old Re-Max Bed (located on Main Street Loop)on Saturday, June 11 m.

Dev. Projects Coordinator Date: Sune 1, 2005 RE: Monthly Report The KEDS Steering Committee decided to change its name to the KEDS Action Team.

This event is centered around educating our children on the benefits of taking care of the Kenai River and our watershed. By incorporating inspirational and educational activi- ties in a fun environment, we have a great tn'ne and learn at the same time. The Kenai River Festival is a FREE event open to all! This event is supported entirely through the generosity of local businesses and organiza- tions. The Festival is organized by the Kenai Watershed Forum. If you would like more informa- tion on the festival, contact Josselyn at j os selyn@kenaiwatershed.org or 260-5449. Last year, with the hdp of Debbie Harris, Borough Art Specialist, the Kenai Watershed Forum began a t- shirt design contest for the festival. The idea behind the contest was to use nature and our river as inspiration. KWF works with children each year from a science perspective, but this was an opportunity to reach them through the arts. Debbie, excited about the project, took the idea and ran with it. This year she worked with the 8th grade class at Kenai Middle School and the quality of designs was amazing! Anthony Ming's design of a fish playing the guitar won in a vote among his fellow students. Anthony was honored at a School Board meeting as we as Kenai Middle's 8'h Grade Awards Ceremony. -2' Play 17~h Fis~g : ~~XDOES TO · Began and comoleted the sheet pile wall on the south side of the river. ~ - New gravel p~t was established. .:~,.~ The Chamber hosts manv · - Tem~ora~ brid~e piles began on Aptil 1, and will be completed by the ~%:~';~': .... e~d of the month. ;:2;~ successful events through '~] .......... out the vean Les Anderson ~ ~':.~/ - ~hase i of 4 phases nj electrical work is 90~° ~::'~:~. : dav was no exception. ~5 ~ What a ~reat success and ~ ~~~ [ac~iities Jot Gel.
