Ordinance 2987-2017 -Airfield Marking, Signage, & Crack Sealing
The purpose of this memo is to appropriate additional funds for both engineering and
construction costs associated with the 2016 Airfield , Marking, Signage and Crack Sealing
Project.
This project (orig inally scheduled for the summer of 2016) was pushed back to the spring of
2017 due to multiple changes requested by the FAA in July 1, 2016 and bad weather.
A major component of this additional work is associated with the overrun in crack sealing . The
original inventory of the cracks was completed in 2015. Over the two years , the cracks
requiring sealing increased significantly. Additional work was related to plans and
specifications revisions, inspection time , updating the 139 certification manual exhibits , etc.
The FAA has confirmed that the additional costs are grant eligible.
I recommend approval of Ordinance 2987-2017 to support the Airfield Marking, Signage, and
Crack Sealing project.
Please contact me if you have any questions.

Kenai Senior Center Solarium Capital Project
As noted in Ordinance No. 2989-2017, the specifications of the Kenai Senior Center Solarium
Capital Project provide for 80 feet of southern-facing windows with window opening abilities at the
east and west ends of the room only.
Over the years, the solarium /dining room has had issues with the heating/cooling system as the
heat exchanger has not provided adequate temperature control and the room has basically been
heated with the baseboard underneath the windows. As such , the dining room has been very
difficult to cool down in the summer and equally difficult to warm up in the winter.
The previous blinds provided very little shade from direct sun and no help with room darkening for
any events involving a video monitor during the daylight hours . Most of our activities are during
the daylight hours . With the solarium project, we are working toward a better system with a hanging
projector to accommodate larger audiences for video viewing , as well as upgrading the sound
system , etc.
We have a long history of blinds with pull cords and the problems that arise from opening and
closing of the blinds because staff is not available 100% of the time to monitor their use , especially
during weekend rentals.
The Kenai Senior Connection , Inc. has provided funding (given by individual donations designated
for additional needs of the solarium project, such as upgrade of window blinds) to add to those
funds provided within the project fund to upgrade the window blind purchase . The additional funds
will provide for blinds that will offer:
Cold /hot insulation
Room darkening and shade capabilities
• Ease of use (blinds with a track system with an easy lift up or down)
Thank you for your consideration.

RESOLUTION NO. 2017-64
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, ADOPTING A
POLICY ESTABLISHING PROCEDURES FOR RECORDING CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS
AND WORK SESSIONS.
WHEREAS, the City has a practice for electronic recording of Council meetings, but there is no
written policy or other established procedures regarding the electronic recording of City Council
meetings, work sessions and joint work sessions with Commissions, Committees and the
Council on Aging; and,
WHEREAS, electronic recordings provide for openness and transparency of government and a
safeguard for the development of minutes and summaries which are the official records of
meetings and work sessions; and,
WHEREAS, it is good public policy and in the City’s best interest to adopt a written policy
establishing general procedures for the electronic recording of City Council meetings, work
sessions, and joint work sessions with Commissions, Committees and the Council on Aging.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI,
ALASKA:
Section 1. That City Council Policy 2017-03, Procedures for recording City Council
meetings and work sessions, attached, is approved.
Section 2. That this resolution takes effect immediately upon passage.

POLICY NO. 2017-03: Procedures for recording City Council meetings and work
sessions.
Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to establish procedures, other than those provided in KMC Title 1,
for recording City Council meetings, work sessions, and joint work sessions.
Scope
This policy applies to City Council and all advisory bodies, appointed by the City Council, that
may have a joint work session with City Council. All Committees, Commissions, and the
Council on Aging are regulated by KMC 1.90 and Policy No. 2016-01 (Amended) also
establishes procedures for all Committees, Commissions, and the Council on Aging.
Additionally, the Planning and Zoning Commission is also regulated by KMC 14.05.
Policy
1. Meeting Minutes, Summaries and Recordings
a. All City Council meetings and City Council work sessions, including joint work
sessions between City Council and any Committee, Commission, or the Council
on Aging, shall be electronically recorded and retained for 6 (six) years.
b. Exception: Meetings held solely for the purpose of interviewing candidates for
positions for employment by the City Council and the part of meetings held in
executive session may not be recorded.
c. Meeting minutes shall be produced by the Office of the City Clerk for all City
Council meetings and meeting summaries shall be produced for all City Council
work sessions and joint work sessions between City Council and any Committee,
Commission, or the Council on Aging. Minutes and summaries approved by City
Council are the official records of the meetings and work sessions.

Mayor Gabriel, Council Members,

Council Member Molloy /./ /J 4 ~
October 11, 2017 , Wl./'
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2017-64, Adopting A Policy Establishing Procedures
For Recording City Council Meetings And Work Sessions.
The City has a practice for electronic recording of Council meetings, using web cam and
Granicus as service provider. But there is no written policy or other established procedures
regarding the electronic recording of City Council meetings, Council's work sessions, and
Council's joint work sessions with Commissions, Committees and the Council on Aging. There
has been public comment requesting electronic recording of Council work sessions and all
Commission and Committee work sessions. And when researching historical records regarding
the Council Travel Policy, I discovered that there are not any summary minutes of the 5/20/2014
Council Work Session, which was a part of Council's process for development and approval of
the original Council Travel Policy. Because the City does not record Council work sessions, the
content of that work session is lost, and there is no official record of the content of that Council
work session.
Resolution No. 2017-64 is a Council policy that establishes general procedures for electronic
recording of City Council meetings, Council's work sessions, and Council's joint work sessions
with Commissions, Committees and the Council on Aging. Potential procedures for electronic
recording of work sessions of Commissions, Committees and the Council on Aging would be
addressed at a later date, when Policy No. 2016-01 (Amended), Procedures for Commissions,
Committees and Council on Aging, is brought back to Council for review.
Resolution No. 2017-64 establishes "general procedures;" it doesn't change the existing practice
for electronic recording of Council meetings, and it doesn't specify how electronic recording of
work sessions is to be accomplished, leaving that decision to Administration. Electronic
recording of work sessions could be audio recording only. The exception in Section 1.b -that
"Meetings held solely for the purpose of interviewing candidates for positions for employment
by the City Council and the part of meetings held in executive session may not be recorded" -
maintains Council's current practice regarding executive sessions. Section 1.c on minutes and
summaries also maintains Council's current practice.
Council's support of this resolution and policy is respectfully requested.

Appreciation was expressed to Administration for help amending the policy. It was pointed out

33
City of Kenai Council Meeting Page 4 of 8
October 4, 2017
allow for sending someone on his behalf if needed. It was further pointed out that with the Bluff
Erosion Project moving forward it was felt the amendments were needed to alleviate some
restrictions to prevent losing an opportunity to travel to advocate for the project.
It was noted that when the policy was developed originally, there had been an issue of travel to
Washington DC, and though Council supported the project, there had been no involvement on
the purpose of the trip and the policy was developed to be in best interest of the City. It was
further noted that the policy had worked well with the selection of then Council Member Gabriel
to travel to speak with the legislature regarding the Board of Fisheries matters. It was suggested
the amended policy could potentially set conflict with the Mayor and council members.
MOTION TO AMEND:
Council Member Navarre MOVED to amend by striking the word, “United,” and the, “s,” at the end
of the word, “state,” in section a of the policy and striking the word, “United,” and the, “s,” at the
end of the word, “state,” in the first, second, and fourth lines of section b and requested
UNANIMOUS CONSENT. The motion was SECONDED by Council Member Knackstedt.
Unanimous consent was objected to noting that the policy was still a blanket Mayoral approval
and took away legislative authority.
VOTE ON AMENDMENT:
YEA: Knackstedt, Gabriel, Navarre, Glendening, Pettey
NAY: Molloy, Boyle
MOTION PASSED.
Trust that the Mayor would make conservative decisions, the need for checks and balances, the
policy having worked well in the past, and the potential for dysfunction were topics discussed.
MOTION TO AMEND:
Council Member Molloy MOVED to amend section 1.a. to read, “The Mayor approves his or her
own travel within the state and approves Council Member travel within the state when the Mayor
has a scheduling conflict that makes the Mayor unavailable to travel to the event,” and the motion
was SECONDED by Council Member Boyle.
It was noted that the amendment left Council Member travel to the Council when time allowed
and gave the Mayor authority to send someone else should they become unavailable.
There was suggestion that there may be an occasion that the Mayor wanted to take someone
with them and the caveat that the situation was reported back to Council made it a non-issue.
It was expressed that there was understanding of the need to safeguard the City with the policy
while also benefitting the City; noted that there was a desire to not divide the Council.

PO increase to Pro-Grind for Animal Shelter Flooring Project
The purpose of this memo is to provide information supporting the increase of Pro Grind Alaska
Rentals LLC 's Purchase Order for construction of the Kenai Animal Control Shelter Flooring
Renovation project.
The design included installing a moisture vapor barrier on the floors only, not the walls . During
construction mo isture was observed wicking out of the concrete block walls near the floor. The
design calls for a cove base to match the floor be installed on the bottom course of blocks . The
contractor recommended installing the moisture barrier behind it. We contacted multiple
suppliers and determined this was a wise course of action. This increase covers the time and
materials required to install the moisture barrier behind the cove base .
I have reviewed the cost and scope of work and determine it is reasonable and within available
project funds. I recommend approval of this increase of the PO by $1 ,800 .00.
Thank you for your consideration.

Change Order 3 -Small Taxiways and Aircraft Tiedown Rehabilitation
Project 2016
At the end of the Airport's federally funded projects and as part of the final audit of project unit
cost items , there is usually a final balancing change order. This change order either increases or
decreases original contract unit cost quantity estimates to the actual quantities measured and
paid for during the project as provided for in the contract specifications. The net increase of
$22,086 .08 reflects an overall increase of 1.27% to the original contract amount.
The major contributing factor to the increase in contract was the increased quantities associated
with the expansion of unsuitable soil over excavations and backfill area found to be required on
Taxiway G and along Taxiway H where the taxiway section needed to be transitioned to the
adjacent lease lot soil 's that freeze and heave seasonally. The net increase in excavation and
backfill was $17, 139.49.

PO increase to Ahtna for Senior Center Project
The purpose of this memo is to provide information supporting the in crease of Ahtna
Environmental lnc .'s Purchase Order for construction of the Senior Center Roof Repa ir and
Atrium Replacement project.
The first time we advertised this project the bids exceeded the funding . As a result, we modified
the design to replace the roof panels over the new construction only. This required removing,
saving, and reinstalling the existing roofing panels over the d ining room. Handling the long
narrow panels without damaging them would have been difficult. The contracto rs were also not
able to offer a warranty if we constructed this design . Due to the generous donation from Senior
Connections , and other valued engineering in the design, the second time we bid this project the
bids came in significantly lower than the funding available . After we demolished the ceiling, we
found that we did not have any structural damage due to years of leaking roofs. Subsequently I
requested the contractor to provide pricing to replace the entire roof using full-length continuous
panels as originally designed . Thi s increase will provide us with a far superior roof that comes
with a warranty.
During construction , it was discovered that the ridge was not vented. This older style of roof
design has been found to be problematic in cold climates. This increase also includes adding a
ridge vent.
This increase wi ll cover replacing the old can lights with new.
We met w ith Senior Connections with a proposal to use the rema ining project funds for sound
system upgrades . They agreed and this increase covers insta lling 25 new speakers.
I have reviewed the cost and scope of work and determine it is reasonable and within available
project funds . I recommend approval of this increase of the PO by $47, 164.48.
Thank you for your consideration.

Ordinance 2990-2017 Waiving KMC 17.10.010 and KMC 17.20.010 for Lot
7 A Block 1 Bridge Road Subdivision Lockwood Addition
Sean Cude , OBA Kenai Self Storage approached the City to request the waiver of two
provisions of code, KMC 17.10.01 O -Mandatory Connection and Abandonment of Old Well ,
and KMC 17.20.010-Mandatory Connections and Abandonment of Old On-Site Sewer
Systems.
The request was for Lot 7 A Block 1 Bridge Road Subdivision Lockwood Addition. Kenai Self
Storage is located on this parcel. Mr. Cude has upgraded the area above the office and needs
water to the site . He has proposed to install a well on the property and utilize an existing sewer
system to support the upgraded area .
The Cook Inlet Natural Gas Storage Alaska (CINGSA) facility is located adjacent to the
property and high pressure gas lines associated with the facility fall in the right of way between
the property and the City sewer and water mains . Their location significantly increases the
e xpense and complexity of installling water and sewer service line s to the property. This
si t uation is unique to this property.
This ordinance will wai ve the pro visions of KMC 17 .10.010 and KMC 17.20.010 and charge Mr.
Cude $116.21 per month ; the same amount as if the property was connected to the City water
and sewer main . This structure will help recoup the costs associated with the City main line
extensions while avoiding e xc essive costs for Mr. Cude .
An agreement will be drafted and recorded that will assure that this agreement will go with the
property if ownership changes .
Your consideration is appreciated .

b. PZ17-30 – Conduct Completeness Review of the application submitted by Dr. Vern
Davidhizar for a Conditional Use Permit for Extraction of Natural Resources pursuant to
Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.152 AND consider scheduling the application for a Public
Hearing on October 25, 2017. Said application affects property located at 4905 Silver
Salmon Dr., and further described as a portion of Government Lots 1 and 9, and a portion
of the NE ¼ of Section 7, Township 5 North, Range 10 West lying West of Spur Highway
and East of the Kenai River (Kenai Borough Parcel No. 04937136).
City Planner Kelley reviewed his memo, which was provided in the packet, noting the applicant
requested a Conditional Use Permit for the extraction of natural resources on a parcel located on
Silver Salmon Drive for extraction of 500,000 cubic yards of gravel over three years and the
ultimate creation of two ponds.
MOTION:
Commissioner Fikes MOVED to deem the application submitted by Dr. Vern Davidhizar for a
Conditional Use Permit for Extraction of Natural Resources pursuant to Kenai Municipal Code
14.20.152 Complete and schedule the matter for a Public Hearing on October 25, 2017.
Commissioner Askin SECONDED the motion.
Clarification was provided that the property owner was aware of setbacks and the site plan
indicated the required setbacks.
It was noted the proposed finished topographical contours were not provided, nor a scale. It was
also noted that a soil survey had not been provided with the narrative.
There was concern with the dump trucks turning onto the Kenai Spur Highway in a dangerous
location in the winter; it was expressed that the Planning Commission may not have jurisdiction
on the roads as they were built to standards. Clarification was provided that the Commission
could condition the permit to comply with Department of Transportation regulations.
Clarification was provided that a Corps of Engineers permit was not required.
Mr. Davidhizar explained that the plan was to use end dumps due to their turning radius; Corps
of Engineers would require a form confirming that the material was deposited directly into the
trucks and not stockpiled elsewhere on the property; the work was to be done in the winter due
to the road conditions, and that the area would look better when the project was completed.
Mrs. Davidhizar noted the neighbors were excited for the ponds and the road wasn’t a problem
for the large trucks as they discovered when they had their septic redone.
MOTION TO AMEND :
Commissioner Greenberg MOVED to amend by determining that the applicant needed to provide
proposed finished topographical contours and soil surveys before the Commission could

56 volunteers donated 825 hours of their time during the month of September. 35 individuals
came to use t he Social Security Video Service and 1,280 congregate meals were serve d in the d in ing room.
The Din ing Room Atrium was still under construction and a plywood/sheetrock wall was put in
place to block access to the construction site. One of our seniors, Steve Hillyer, who is a celebrated artist,
started a wall sized painting of one his own numbered prints. After the co n struction is completed, the
painting will hang in the Senior Center Game Room .
The UNOCAL Retirees group remodeled the Senior Center entryway sitting area by remov ing old
wallpaper, repairing sheetrock and repainting with a clean updated loo k. We thank this group of
ded icated individuals who continue to give back to thei r community through projects like ours.
Our Annual Fall Trip was to Talkeetna . 20 seniors and staff went from Kenai to Tal kee tn a,
spending the night at the beautiful Tal keetna Alas ka n Lodge and then taking the Alaska Railroad Hurricane
Gulch Flag Stop Train (a 7 hour t r ip). With the fall colors and the connection between seniors, the trip was
a great success !
September ended with the retirement of long-time Director, Rachael Craig . A party was held in
her honor w ith over 170 in attendance . Th e evening was full of good food, great memories and a he art-
felt address from Rachael to the group of well-wishers . 74
