MEMORANDUM

THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Terry Eubank, Finance Director
DATE: April 20, 2018
SUBJECT: Ordinance 3033-2018 – Appropriation of FY2019 Budget Capital Projects
____________________________________________________________________________
The purpose of this memo is to provide supporting information for Ordinance 3033-2018.
Ordinance 3033-2018 will appropriate funds transferred from the General, Water & Sewer Special
Revenue, and Vintage Pointe Manor Enterprise Funds for capital projects in the FY2019 Budget.
Funds transferred by other funds require appropriation prior to expending in the fund receiving
the transfers.
The FY2019 Budget appropriated a transfer of $35,000 from the General Fund to the Public Safety
Capital Project Fund for remodel of the Fire Department’s kitchen.
$27,500 was transferred from the General Fund to the Kenai Recreation Center Improvements
Capital Project Fund to provide supplemental funding for a project to replace the facility’s hot
water system, refinish the building’s exterior, and retile locker room showers. The transfer will be
combined with approximately $38,000 of remaining State of Alaska grant funds to complete these
projects. Shower retiling is estimated to cost $12,500, exterior refinishing of the facility $22,130,
and hot water system replacement $30,870.
$121,000 was transferred from the Vintage Pointe Manor Enterprise Fund to the Vintage Pointe
Manor Capital Project Fund for completion of the fire control panel upgrade, $96,000 and for
design of a project to replace the facility’s aging boiler/hot water system, $25,000.
$110,400 was transferred from the Water & Sewer Special Revenue Fund to the Water & Sewer
Improvements Capital Project Fund for telemetry upgrades at Water Reservoir #1.
In addition to these amounts, $45,670 was transferred from the General Fund to the Senior
Citizens Special Revenue Fund for carpet and tile replacement, $34,500 and dishwasher
replacement, $11,170. Appropriation of these amounts was accomplished by adoption of the
FY2019 Budget and no subsequent action is required.
7
A $200,000 transfer was appropriated from the General Fund for Kenai Road Improvements to
be identified. This amount will take future Council action to appropriate once projects and
estimated costs are identified.
Passage of this Ordinance will allow each of these projects to proceed and you support is
respectfully requested.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Elizabeth Appleby, City Planner
DATE: June 26, 2018
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2018-40 – Kenai Municipal Airport Reserve Lease
Application from James H. Doyle, Individually, d/b/a Weaver Brothers, Inc.
Tract A, Gusty Subdivision No. 3 – 410 Coral Street and Tract B, Gusty
Subdivision No. 6 Amended – 420 Coral Street
_____________________________________________________________________
On April 20, 2018, James H. Doyle, Individually, d/b/a Weaver Brothers Inc., submitted
applications to the City of Kenai to renew his leases on City property within the Airport Reserve.
Mr. Doyle has leased two adjacent properties since 1984. He has used the properties as a parking
area for cargo trailers for his trucking business and wishes to continue to lease these properties
for a term of five years for the same purpose. His current leases with the City of Kenai will expire
on July 30, 2018, and he would like his lease renewals to start August 1, 2018 and continue
through July 30, 2023. Mr. Doyle is in compliance with current obligations to the City of Kenai and
the Kenai Peninsula Borough.
The parcels are within the Airport Light Industrial (ALI) Zone per Kenai Municipal Code (KMC)
14.20.065. The intent of the ALI Zone is to protect the viability of the Kenai Municipal Airport as a
significant resource to the community by encouraging compatible land uses and reducing hazards
that may endanger the lives and property of the public and aviation users. The proposed use by
Mr. Doyle for cargo trailer parking is a permitted use in the ALI Zone and is a compatible land
use.
The Imagine Kenai 2030 Comprehensive Plan outlines goals, objectives, and action items for the
City, including this one pertaining to the Kenai Municipal Airport:
17
Page 2 of 2
Resolution No. 2018-40
• Objective T-1: Support future development near or adjacent to the airport when such
development is in alignment with the Kenai Municipal Airport’s primary mission, “To be the
commercial air transportation gateway to the Kenai Peninsula Borough and Cook Inlet.”
The proposed use by Mr. Doyle complies with the Imagine Kenai 2030 Comprehensive Plan in
that it supports development on lease lots and the development is in alignment with the Kenai
Municipal Airport’s marketing strategy.
The Airport Land Use Plan was developed to identify the highest and best uses of Kenai Municipal
Airport land. The Airport Land Use Plan discusses leasing land and enhancing opportunities for
local economic development. The proposed use by Mr. Doyle complies with the Airport Land Use
Plan.
The current leases allow the City to cancel the leases with ninety (90) days written notice because
the properties are within the Runway Protection Zone (RPZ). This provision should be kept in the
new lease in order to meet Federal Aviation Administration requirements.
Pursuant to KMC 21.10.060(c), the City must publish public notice of a lease application and allow
thirty (30) days for competing lease applications for the same property to be submitted to the City
for consideration. The City published a public notice of the Doyle lease applications in the
Peninsula Clarion on May 18th. The City did not receive a competing application to lease these
parcels.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the lease renewals during their
May 23, 2018 meeting. These applications were scheduled for review at the June 14, 2018 Airport
Commission meeting, but there was not a quorum. However, Mary Bondurant, Airport Manager,
reviewed the lease applications and found them to be compliant with the Airport Land Use Plan,
Airport Layout Plan, Federal Aviation Administration regulations, Airport Master Plan, Airport
Improvement Program grant assurances, and Airport operations. She recommended approval of
the lease renewals.
Thank you for your consideration.

Kenai Municipal Airport Reserve Lease Applications -Tract A,
Gusty Subdivision No. 3 and Tract B, Gusty Subdivision No. 6
Amended
On April 20, 2018, James H. Doyle , Individually, d/b/a Weaver Brothers Inc., submitted
applications to the City of Kenai to renew his leases on City property within the Airport Reserve.
Mr. Doyle has leased the two adjacent properties since 1984 for a parking area for cargo trailers
and wishes to continue to lea se these properties for a term of five years for the same purpose.
Pursuant to KMC 14.2 0 .065 , the parcel is within the Airport Light Industrial (ALI) Zone . The
purpose of the ALI Zone is to protect the viability of the Kenai Municipal A irport as a significant
resource to the community by encouraging compatible land uses and reducing hazards that
may endanger the lives and property of the public and aviation users . The proposed use by Mr.
Doyle for cargo trailer parking is a permitted use in the ALI Zone and is a compatible land use.
Mr. Doyle would not be required to re-plat the leased parcels for his intended use.
The Imagine Kenai 2030 Comprehensive Plan out lines goals , objectives, and action items for
the City, including some pertaining to the Kenai Municipal Airport:
• Action Item: Support the Airport's marketing s trategy to actively recruit development on
Airport Industrial Park leases.
The proposed use by Mr. Doyle comp lie s with the Imagine Kenai 2030 Comprehensive Plan in
that it supports development on lease lots and the development is in alignment with the Kenai
Municipal Airport's marketing strategy.

Airport Reserve Lease Applications
The Airport Land Use Plan was developed to identify the highest and best uses of Kenai
Municipal Airport land. The Airport Land Use Plan discusses leasing land and enhancing
opportunities for local economic development. The proposed use by Mr. Doyle compli es w ith the
Airport Land Use Plan. It would enhance local economic development.
The current leases allow the City to cancel the leases with ninety (90) days written notice
because the properties are within the Runway Protection Zone (RPZ). I recommend keeping
this provision in the new leases.
Mary Bondurant, Airport Manager, will review the lease applications for compliance with the
Airport Land Use Plan, Airport Layout Plan , Federal Aviation Adm inistration regulations, Airport
Master Plan, Airport Improvement Program grant assurances, and Airport operations . The
Airport Commission will also review the lease applications at their June 14th meeting .
Does the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend the execution of the leases
between the City of Kenai and Mr. Doyle, contingent upon the Airport Manager and the
Airport Commission also supporting the execution of the leases and the inclusion in the
lease terms of the right of the City to cancel the leases with ninety (90) days written
notice? The City Council would be notified of the Planning and Zoning Commission 's decision
as part of their evaluation of the lease applications.
Thank you for your consideration.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Willie Anderson, Planning Assistant
DATE: July 5, 2018
SUBJECT: Resolution 2018-41 – Consenting to the Vacation of the Easternmost
Portion of Riverview Drive Right-of-Way Between Broad Street and Lot 2C,
Original Townsite of Kenai Laddville Replat No. 3, a Portion of Broad Street
Right-of-Way South of Cook Avenue, and the Unnamed Right-of-Way South
of Cook Avenue Adjacent to Lot 2C Original Townsite of Kenai Laddville
Replat No. 3 and Lot 1, Block 18, Original Townsite of Kenai
The purpose of a preliminary plat of the Original Townsite of Kenai Bluff Replat is to reconfigure
five parcels into three lots: Lots 1A and 2C1, and Tract A, Block 18, Original Townsite of Kenai
Bluff Replat. The proposed replat would also delineate the rights-of-way to be vacated with hash
marks. The rights-of-way are for a portion of Riverview Drive, Broad Street, and the unnamed
right-of-way to be vacated by this plat.
These rights-of-way have not been developed and do not provide access to the existing parcels.
Access to the proposed Lots 1A and 2C1, Block 18 would be provided via Cook Avenue, which
is a City maintained gravel road. Access to the proposed Tract A, Block 18, will be provided by
the dedication of the parcel shown as Broad Street on the proposed plat. The bluff has eroded
considerably, and the right-of-way vacations are part of a bluff restoration project.
The subject parcels are zoned Central Commercial. Pursuant to Kenai Municipal Code (KMC)
14.24.010 – Minimum Lot Area Requirements, the Central Commercial Zoning District has no
minimum required parcel size. Therefore, the proposed preliminary plat would meet lot size
requirements.
On January 24, 2018, the City of Kenai Planning & Zoning Commission passed Resolution
PZ2018-02, recommending approval of the preliminary plat of Original Townsite of Kenai Bluff
Replat; subject to the following conditions:
a. Further development of the property shall conform to all Federal, State and local
regulations.
33

c. The City Manager must sign the proposed plat to accept the dedication of the right of -way
created on the parcel of property owned by the City of Kenai.
d. The area that the City of Kenai is proposing be dedicated to right-of -way should be
delineated or noted on the plat.
On May 29, 2018, the Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning Commission met and approved the
Preliminary Plat of Original Townsite of Kenai Bluff Replat consistent with the recommendation
of the Planning and Zoning Commission for the City of Kenai. The Kenai Planning and Zoning
Commission reviewed the plat at their January 24, 2018 meeting.
The Kenai Peninsula Borough Plat Committee approved the plat at their June 25, 2018 meeting.
Pursuant to AS 29.40.140 and KMC 22.05.110, the Kenai Peninsula Borough has submitted a
request to the City of Kenai for their consent to the vacation of the rights-of-way as shown on the
preliminary plat of Original Townsite of Kenai Bluff Replat.

and add a new subsection b to section 3 of the ordinance to read as follows, “Notwithstanding
KMC 21.15.190, the City will pay the appraisal cost for the property and apply the good faith
deposit provided by the purchaser to the other related City expenses and the purchase price,
however, should the purchaser not complete the sale within twelve months of the appraisal date,
the purchaser shall pay the appraisal cost consistent with City code,” and remove the period and
38
City of Kenai Council Meeting Page 5 of 13
June 20, 2018
add a semicolon, the word, “and,” and a comma to the end of the now second to last whereas
clause, and Council Member Pettey SECONDED the motion.
It was suggested that it was important for the City, when dealing with the public, to treat everyone
the same; however, sometimes each situation is a little different. It was pointed out that in the
private sector there are negotiations on closing costs. Negotiation factors such as payment of
taxes, utilities, and lease payments were discussed.
Clarification was provided that the lessee was to pay for the appraisal pursuant to Resolution No.
2018-12 and Kenai Municipal Code 21.15.190 which was last amended in 2007. It was also
confirmed that the lessee approached the City for the purchase of the property after Resolution
No. 2018-12 was adopted.
It was pointed out that the amendment would show goodwill toward the community and both
parties negotiated in fairness and clarification provided that prior to 2018, an appraisal was
obtained in 2015 and was paid for by the City. It was reiterated that the resolutions adopted in
February created equality and fairness for the ten properties identified.
VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT:
YEA: Navarre, Glendening, Pettey
NAY: Molloy, Gabriel, Knackstedt, Boyle
MOTION FAILED.
MOTION TO AMEND:
Vice Mayor Navarre MOVED to amend by adding a new whereas clause at the end that reads as
follows, “the City has received a good faith deposit from the purchaser to cover City expenses
related to the sale and in fairness and at the request of the purchaser who was ready to purchase
the property when a recent appraisal was valid, the City should cover half of the new appraisal
cost,” and add a new subsection b to section 3 of the ordinance to read as follows,
“Notwithstanding KMC 21.15.190, the City will pay half the appraisal cost for the property and
apply the good faith deposit provided by the purchaser to the other related City expenses and the
purchase price, however, should the purchaser not complete the sale within twelve months of the
appraisal date, the purchaser shall pay the full appraisal cost consistent with City code,” and
remove the period and add a semicolon, the word, “and,” and a comma to the end of the now
second to last whereas clause, and Council Member Glendening SECONDED the motion.
It was reiterated that in other real estate deals the purchasers and sellers could negotiate to make
the deals fair and equitable; sending the message that the City was open for business.
It was noted that in typical commercial deals, the purchaser pays for the appraisal.
VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT:
YEA: Navarre, Glendening, Pettey
NAY: Molloy, Gabriel, Knackstedt, Boyle
MOTION FAILED.

as follows:
Chapter 16.05 Special Assessment Districts
16.05.010 Assessment Authority.
(a) The City Council may assess against the real property of a governmental unit and
private real property benefited by a capital improvement project, all or a portion of the cost
of constructing or improving such capital improvements. Any such special assessment shall
be in proportion to, and shall not exceed, the value of the benefit from the improvement.
(b) All benefited real property, including that which is exempt from taxation in accordance
with law, shall be liable for the cost of public improvements assessed, unless specifically
exempted from assessments for public improvements by law.
16.05.020 Authorized Capital Improvements.
A special assessment district for a public improvement may be initiated for any one or more of
the following improvements:
(a) Streets, roads, street lighting, curbs, gutters, driveways, and sidewalks;
(b) Storm sewers, drains, or settling basins;
(c) Sanitary sewers systems, including mains, connections and extensions;
(d) Changes in channels of streams or watercourses;
(e) Water supply systems, including water mains, water distribution lines, water service

The Council may assess for an authorized capital improvement, any real property benefited or
any interest in real property benefited, and the property benefited may include abutting, adjoining,
adjacent, contiguous, non-contiguous, or other property or interest in property benefited directly
or indirectly by the improvement. A benefited property may be included in whole or in part in more
than one local improvement district
16.05.040 Amount Assessed.
The Council may assess 100% of any or all costs of a public improvement against the parcels of
property benefited by the improvement. Unless a specific method of computation of the benefit to
the property is expressly provided in this Chapter for ascertaining the amount to be assessed
against the property benefited by a designated improvement, the Council shall assess each parcel
of property in a local assessment district in proportion to the value of the benefits received from
the improvements.
16.05.050 Costs.
The costs of an authorized capital improvement shall be the actual costs of the improvement,
including acquisition of interest in land for the improvement, design, engineering, administration,
overhead, professional services, bond costs, and interest incurred as a result of the improvement,
58
Ordinance No. 3034-2018
Page 9 of 17
New Text Underlined; [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED]
and all other costs resulting from the construction of the improvement. Bond interest shall be
calculated from the first date when actual costs are incurred by the City.
16.05.060 Permissible Methods for Financing Local Improvement Districts.
(a) By general obligation bonds:
(1) Local improvement districts for capital improvements may be financed by use of
funds obtained from the sale of general obligation bonds approved by the voters of the
City of Kenai for such capital improvements.
(2) The principal and interest of general obligation bonds so issued shall be payable
from the levy of assessments so issued against the property benefited, but any
deficiency in meeting payments of principal and interest shall be made up by an
appropriation from the general fund. The assessments shall constitute a sinking fund
for the payment of principal and interest on the bonds.
(3) Interest on funds borrowed to finance the capital improvement prior to the sale of
general obligation bonds shall be a cost of the improvement district.
(b) By special assessment bonds:
(1) The City Council may, by ordinance, authorize in compliance with the City Charter
the issuance and sale of special assessment bonds to pay all or part of the cost of an
improvement in a local improvement district. The principal and interest of bonds so
issued shall be payable solely from the levy of special assessments against property to
be benefited. The assessments shall constitute a sinking fund for the payment of
principal and interest on the bonds. The property benefited may be pledged by the
Council to secure a payment.
(2) Interest on funds borrowed to finance the capital improvement prior to the sale of
special assessment bonds shall be a cost of the improvement district.
(c) By City or grant funds (with or without subsequent recovery by assessment against
benefited property).
(d) By any combination of two or more of the above.
16.05.070 Method of Assessment.
The provisions of this chapter shall not prevent or be construed to prevent the collection of
assessments or payment in lieu of assessments for improvements in any other manner as
provided by law. The methods of assessment are described in general herein and will require
decisions of policy by the Council to meet current needs. In general, the assessment rate for any
special assessment district is computed by dividing the total assessable cost of such improvement
by the total number of assessment units. The entire project is considered as a whole when
computing the assessment rate and applying it to all properties.
16.05.080 Initiation of Special Assessment District.
A special assessment district may be initiated by:
(a) A sponsor of a proposed district may submit an application detailing the proposed

(b) Procedure for notice and public hearing for reassessment must conform to that utilized
for the initial assessment procedures.
(c) Payments on the initial assessments are credited to the property upon reassessment.
(d) The reassessment becomes a charge upon the property notwithstanding failure to
comply with any provision of the assessment procedure.
16.05.210 Supplemental Assessment.
(a) If additional costs are incurred that are chargeable to an assessment district after the
initial assessment roll has been approved by the City Council, the City Manager may
prepare and file with the City Clerk a supplemental assessment roll.
(b) Procedure for notice and public hearing for a supplemental assessment must conform
to that utilized for the initial assessment.
(c) Billings and payments on a supplemental assessment shall be kept separate from the
initial assessment. Supplemental assessments may have payment terms and due dates
different from the initial assessment.
(d) More than one supplemental assessment may be allowed.
(e) The sum of all supplemental assessments in any one assessment district may not
exceed twenty percent (20%) of the initial approved assessment roll.
16.05.220 Principal Payment Deferral
(a) The principal of the special assessment lien on real property owned and occupied as
the primary residence and permanent place of abode by a Kenai resident who is indigent
may be deferred as provided in this section. The deferral of payment on the principal of
the special assessment lien means that such payment will be postponed, but not
forgiven. Interest will continue to accrue on the assessment during the period of deferral.
(b) For purposes of this section, a resident is indigent if the person's adjusted gross
income is less than 200 percent of the current U.S. Health and Human Services Poverty
Guidelines for Alaska. An application for indigence may be filed on a City form with the
City Clerk no later than February 1 of each calendar year.
(c) Deferral is for the principal balance only. Individuals who qualify for the deferral must
pay the accrued interest by the due date each year.
(d) The deferred assessment, including all unpaid accrued interest, becomes due and
payable in full when the property ceases to be owned or occupied by the Kenai resident
who qualified for the deferral. Any remaining balance due shall be paid on the same
schedule as would have been in place if no deferral had applied.
(e) If the resident who previously qualified for the deferral no longer qualifies, but
continues to own and occupy the property, then payments on the principal will resume,
starting with the next payment due.
Section 2. Severability: That if any part or provision of this ordinance or application thereof to
any person or circumstances is adjudged invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such
judgment shall be confined in its operation to the part, provision, or application directly involved
in all controversy in which this judgment shall have been rendered, and shall not affect or impair
the validity of the remainder of this title or application thereof to other persons or circumstances.
The City Council hereby declares that it would have enacted the remainder of this ordinance even
without such part, provision, or application.
Section 3. Effective Date: That pursuant to KMC 1.15.070(f), this ordinance shall take effect
30 days after adoption.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
FROM: Scott Bloom, City Attorney
DATE: June 27, 2018
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3034-2018 – Local Improvement Districts/ Comparative
Analysis
____________________________________________________________________________
This memo compares the proposed changes in Ordinance 3034-2018 to the existing code:
1. 16.05.010 Assessment Authority
This section, which describes the City’s assessment authority, is materially the same as the
existing KMC 16.05.010 except that language in existing KMC 16.05.010 (b) regarding restrictions
on assessments is moved in the Ordinance to KMC 16.05.130-Restrictions on District Formation,
for consistency and clarity.
2. 16.05.020 Authorized Capital Improvements
This section, listing the types of projects which can be constructed or improved by the creation of
a local improvement district, replaces KMC 16.05.060. The main revisions are the removal of
temporary services such as dust control and snow removal which are inconsistent with capital
improvements, and the removal of projects such as off-street parking, parks and playgrounds and
public shelters. The projects removed were projects that benefit the community as a whole, and
are not conducive to defining an assessment district.
3. 16.05.030 Property Assessed
This section describing the property that can be assessed for a capital improvement is materially
the same as the existing KMC 16.05.070.
68
Page 2 of 4
Ord. No. 3034-2018
4. 16.05.040 Amount Assessed
This section is materially the same as existing KMC 16.05.080 and provides that the City can
assess 100% of the project costs to benefited properties and that the benefited properties should
generally pay in proportion to the benefit received.
5. 16.05.050 Costs
This section describing the costs that can be assessed for a project is materially the same as
existing KMC 16.05.090.
6. 16.05.060 Permissible Methods for Financing Local Improvement Districts
This section describing the funding sources the City can use to finance a projects; City funds,
grant funds and bonds, is similar to existing KMC 16.05.050 and only clarifies that grant funds
can be used and that the use of special assessment bonds must comply with the City’s applicable
Charter restrictions on bonding.
7. 16.05.070 Method of Assessment
This section, similar to existing KMC 16.05.100, describes that generally assessments are
determined based on the total project cost divided by the number of benefited parcels. The new
section removes specific language regarding determinations based on lot frontage to
improvements, to allow greater flexibility for Council to determine assessment methods and
consistency with current practice.
8. 16.05.080 Initiation of Special Assessment District
This section describes that the formation of a special assessment district may be started by a
citizen sponsor submitting an application to the City Clerk, or by Council resolution directing the
City Manager to submit an application to the Clerk. This new section provides more detail on how
the process is started, as compared to existing KMC 16.05.020.
9. 16.05.090 Review of Petition Application
This new section of code provides for an upfront interactive process between the petition sponsor
and administration to review the sponsor’s plans and ensure they meet the minimum objective
requirements for an assessment district. Only once the City Manager confirms that the minimum
requirements are met, will the City Manager provide a report for Council along with a resolution
to approve an engineer’s or architects cost estimate. The process of the City Manager providing
a report to the City Council is somewhat similar to existing KMC 16.10.010, however the new
code provision is more specific as to the information to be provided to Council.
10. 16.05.095 Resolution Approving Engineer’s or Architect’s Estimate
This is a new section of code consistent with the theme of the changes to the process in making
sure that as much information is known to the property owners before they sign a petition in favor
of the improvement. After reviewing the report and recommendation by the City Manager, the City
Council decides in the first legislative action whether to spend funds to obtain a cost estimate
from a professional. Council’s approval is subject to the sponsor providing $1,500 as an
application fee. This fee serves to purposes, it ensures the sponsor is serious about going forward, 69
Page 3 of 4
Ord. No. 3034-2018
and helps defray the City’s costs should the project not proceed. Once the professional cost
estimate is received, the City ensures the project still meets the minimum requirements for the
district formation and the sponsor must confirm that he or she still wants to proceed. Once this is
completed the City Clerk will provide a notice to all the residents and the City will prepare a petition
report.
11. 16.05.100 Preparation and Issuance of Petition Report
This new section requires the Administration to prepare and issue a petition report with specific
information. The intent again is to ensure all relevant facts within reason are known prior to
property owners signing a petition. Existing KMC 16.05.030 touches on the petition report having
a description of the improvements, but no other specific requirements.
12. 16.05.110 Ordinance to Approve Petition Report and Matching Funds.
This new section of code provides for the council to approve the petition report, which will be
circulated with the petition, and commits any matching funds. An ordinance is required to commit
the matching funds. There is not an equivalent section in existing code.
13. 16.05.120 Circulation and Filing of Petition; Signature Requirements
This new code section provides much greater detail on the process for signing and collecting
signatures than in the existing code section KMC 16.05.030. The petition must include the petition
report approved by Council including the amount of matching funds, if any. The biggest change
from existing code is requiring 70% of property owner’s signatures versus 50% in the existing
code. This is a significantly higher bar.
14. 16.05.130 Restrictions on District Formation
This section describes certain restriction on forming an assessment district. For example
assessments can’t exceed 25% of the value of a benefited parcel, and there is a threshold for the
number of properties that can have unpaid City and Borough sales taxes. These provisions are
to safeguard the City’s ability to recoup its costs. The 25% threshold comes from existing KMC
16.05.010 and the safeguard for unpaid property taxes is new. The idea being if property taxes
are not paid, neither will assessments be paid.
15. 16.05.140 Resolution to Form District and Proceed with Improvement
This section of code provides for the legislation to form the district and proceed with construction
of the project. It requires the Clerk to give notice for the hearing by certified mail at least 30 days
before the Resolution and to advertise, including a new requirement to post temporary signage at
or near where the improvement is to be constructed or improved. This is a similar process as to
what is described in existing KMC 16.10.040 through 070, except that in the process proposed
there is more certainty in the project scope and process. This allows the City to move away from
allowing 50% of property owners who might object to the project at this point to stop it, as provided
in existing KMC 16.10.070, because the property owners had more information that is not subject
to change earlier in the process. For example, an engineer’s estimate which the City commits to
not exceeding and commitment of matching funds.
16. 16.05.150 Ordinance of Appropriation
70
Page 4 of 4
Ord. No. 3034-2018
This is the legislation appropriating the funds to construct or improve the project. The new
proposed ordinance provides that the project will not go forward if the bid amount exceeds the
appropriated amount, which matches the amount circulated in the petition. This is to ensure that
the property owners cost is not increased without their approval. Appropriation of funds is not
specifically provided for in the existing Chapter on assessment districts.
17. 16.05.160 Ordinance Levying Assessments
This section provides the legislation that creates the levy of assessments after the project has
been completed. It is similar to existing KMC 16.10.080 through 130.
18. 16.05.170 Payment
This section specifies that payments can be made in installments or lump sum and cannot be
required until at least 60 days after the assessment. This mirrors existing KMC 16.10.140.
19. 16.05.180 Notice of Payment
This section provides notice requirements for payments due and is the same as existing
16.10.140.
20. 16.05.190 Objection and Appeal
This section which provides the process for appealing an assessment is the same as existing
KMC 16.10.160
21. 16.05.200 Reassessment
This section describes the process for a reassessment if a court finds the City’s process deficient.
It is the same as existing KMC 16.10.170.
22. 16,05.210 Supplemental Assessment
This section which is the same as existing KMC 16.10.180 provides for a process for a
supplemental assessment, should one be needed.
23. Principal Payment Deferral
This is a new section of code that provides a payment deferral process of indigent residents in an
assessment district.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
FROM: Henry Knackstedt, Council Member
DATE: June 27, 2018
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3034-2018 - Repealing Kenai Municipal Code Chapters
16.05- General Provisions, And 16.10- Procedure, Within Title 16- Public
Improvements and Special Assessments and Re-Enacting and Renaming
Chapter 16.05- Special Assessment Districts
____________________________________________________________________________
Ordinance 3034-2018 is a significant rewrite of two existing Chapters of City code governing the
creation of special assessment districts to complete or improve capital projects.
After experiencing the process at the City and drawing from my professional experience in road
improvement assessment districts, I feel the City’s process can be improved. There are three
main themes to the recommended changes: (1) provide certainty to property owners before they
sign a petition; (2) provide increased notice to property owners and the public; and (3) provide
specificity in code regarding each step of the process. While these projects generally never make
everyone happy, at the very least the amendments are intended to ensure all affected property
owners are well informed and understand the process as much as reasonably possible. The
proposed amendments do require 70% of property owners to support the project instead of 50%
as is currently written, to ensure a greater majority support the projects.
Providing certainty to property owners is addressed by providing a professional estimate of cost
that cannot be exceeded without a new petition, having the City commit to matching funds if any,
and providing a City approved petition report prior to property owners signing a petition. Increased
notice is accomplished by requiring certain notices to be certified, more notice, specifying the
information that must be contained in notices, additional publication of notices and even physical
posting of notices near the project. Increasing specificity in the process includes specifying when
subdivisions of property must be completed to count for voting and assessment purposes, what
information must be in the petition report, and who can sign a petition.
Other significant changes include providing for a more interactive process at the beginning
between the City and petition sponsor to determine project scope and boundaries. Requiring a
$1,500 filing fee to move forward after the administration is comfortable that the project meets
72
Page 2 of 2
Ord. No. 3034-2018
minimum requirements and before significant City resources are spent. The amount is intended
to help defray City costs if the project does not go forward after City funds are spent and to make
sure the sponsor is serious about going forward with the project. I also recommend including a
payment deferral process for low income residents, so that projects can be completed without
increased costs to vulnerable residents while protecting the City’s interest through security in the
property.
Attached is a flow chart of the process that the Ordinance proposes.
Thank you for your consideration.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Christine Cunningham, Assistant to City Manager
DATE: June 25, 2018
SUBJECT: Action/Approval – Special Use Permit for Kenai Chamber of
Commerce and Visitor Center for the “Moosemeat John” Cabin
The Kenai Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center is requesting a Special Use Permit to use
and operate the “Moosemeat John” cabin located on approximately 24,500 square feet of Lot 1,
Gusty Subdivision No. 8, a City-owned parcel upon which the Kenai Visitor and Cultural Center
is also located. The special use permit would be effective for one year from August 1, 2018 to
July 30, 2019.
The Kenai Chamber of Commerce, Inc. operated on the premises from 1977 until 2012. In 2012,
the Kenai Chamber of Commerce, Inc. merged with the Kenai Convention and Visitor’s Bureau,
Inc. to form the new entity, “Kenai Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center, Inc.” The City
Council approved an Assignment of the Facility Management Agreement for the adjacent Kenai
Visitor and Cultural Center to the new entity, but the Special Use Permit expired without an
assignment to the new entity.
The Kenai Visitor’s and Cultural Center is requesting a Special Use Permit to continue its use of
the cabin. Since 2013, the Kenai Chamber has allowed the use of the cabin during the summer
months by the Kenai Historical Society, Inc. in conjunction with its operations in Old Town Kenai.
If the City Council approves the attached Special Use Permit with Kenai Chamber of Commerce
and Visitor Center for the “Moosemeat John” Cabin, the City Manager may sign the Special Use
Permit granting the continued use of the cabin by the Kenai Chamber on behalf of the City.

Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Kenai, Alaska
Professional standards require us to communicate with you regarding matters related to the financial statement
audit that are, in our professional judgment, significant and relevant to your responsibilities in overseeing the
financial reporting process. This document provides an overview of our plan for the audit of the financial
statements, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards and the schedule of state financial assistance of City
of Kenai, Alaska (the City) as of and for the year ending June 30, 2018, including a summary of the nature, scope,
and timing of the planned audit work.
Responsibilities
BDO USA, LLP, as your auditor, is responsible for forming and expressing an opinion about whether the financial
statements, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards and schedule of state financial assistance that have
been prepared by management, with your oversight, are prepared, in all material respects, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition our audit will be conducted
in accordance with standards for financial audits contained in the Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States and Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform
Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements of Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance)
and the State of Alaska Audit Guide and Compliance Supplement for State Single Audits (State Audit Guide). The
audit of the financial statements does not relieve you of your responsibilities and does not relieve management
of their responsibilities. The engagement letter, a copy of which has been provided to you, includes specific
details regarding the auditor’s and management’s responsibilities.
Overall Audit Strategy and Planned Scope
Overall, our audit strategy is to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error, and design further audit procedures responsive to assessed risks. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. In
connection with our audit, we will obtain a sufficient understanding of the City’s internal control to plan the
audit of the financial statements. However, such understanding is required for the purposes of determining our
audit procedures and not to provide any assurance concerning such internal control. In addition, the Uniform
Guidance and the State Audit Guide requires that we also plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the City has complied with applicable federal and state statutes, regulations and the
terms and conditions of the federal and state awards that may have a direct and material effect on each of City’s
major federal and state programs.
We focus on areas with higher risk of material misstatement (whether due to error or fraud). Our audit strategy
includes consideration of:
a) prior year audit results together with current year preliminary analytical review, including discussions
with management and those charged with governance regarding the City’s operations,
b) inherent risk within the City,
c) recent developments within the industry, regulatory environment and general economic conditions,
d) recently issued and effective accounting and financial reporting guidance,
e) the City’s significant accounting policies and procedures, including those requiring significant
management judgments and estimates and those related to significant unusual transactions, 92
f) the control environment and the possibility that the control system and procedures may fail to prevent
or detect a material error or fraud,
g) internal control over compliance with requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a
major federal and state program in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of
expressing our opinion on compliance and to test and report on internal control over compliance in
accordance with the Uniform Guidance and the State Single Audit Guide.
h) information about systems and the computer environment in which the related systems operate, and
i) a continual assessment of materiality thresholds based upon qualitative and quantitative factors
affecting the City.
Based upon our initial assessment, our planned scope for the audit is described below:
o Fraud Risk
o Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
o Cash and Investments
o Accounts Receivable and Allowances
o Revenue Recognition
o Federal and State Grants
o Long-term Obligations, including Debt Issuance and Repayment
o Capital Assets
o Tax Revenue, Charges for Services, etc.
o Pension and Other Postemployment benefits
o Single Audit in Accordance with the Uniform Guidance and the State Single Audit
o Evaluation of Related Party Relationships and Transactions and Going Concern
o Other Matters, Including Significant Unusual Transactions
Overall Audit Timeline
Planning is anticipated to occur in August 2018 and year-end fieldwork will occur October 2018, with release of
the opinion and financial statements and reports in accordance with Government Auditing Standards, Uniform
Guidance, and the State Audit Guide expected to occur by November 2018.
Independence Communication
Our engagement letter to you dated May 31, 2018 describes our responsibilities in accordance with professional
standards and certain regulatory authorities with regard to independence and the performance of our services.
This letter also stipulates the responsibilities of the City with respect to independence as agreed to by the City.
Please refer to that letter for further information.

Significant Accounting and Reporting Matters
GASB STATEMENT NO. 75, ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL REPORTING FOR POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
OTHER THAN PENSIONS
Establishes measurement criteria for the Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB) liability of state and
local governments and mirrors the requirements of GASB 68.
For plans administered through a trust, governments must recognize the net OPEB liability.
For plans not administered through a trust, the government must recognize the total OPEB liability.
The pronouncement will be effective starting with years ending June 30, 2018.
GASB STATEMENT NO. 85, OMNIBUS 2017
Addresses several practice issues that have been identified during implementation of certain GASB
Statements:
1. Blending a component unit when the primary government is a business-type activity that reports in
a single column.
2. Reporting amounts previously reported as goodwill and negative goodwill.
3. Classifying real estate held by insurance entities.
4. Measuring certain money market instruments at amortized cost.
5. Timing of the measurement of pension or OPEB liabilities and expenditures in governmental fund
financial statements.
6. Recognizing on-behalf payments for pensions or OPEB in employer financial statements.
7. Presenting payroll-related measures in Required Supplementary Information for OPEB plans and
employers that provide OPEB.
8. Classifying employer-paid member contributions for OPEB.
9. Simplifying certain aspects of the alternative measurement method for OPEB.
10. Accounting and reporting for OPEB provided through certain multiple-employer defined benefit OPEB
plans.
The pronouncement will be effective starting with years ending June 30, 2018.
GASB STATEMENT NO. 86, CERTAIN DEBT EXTINGUISHMENT ISSUES
Resolves issue of how to record in-substance defeasance of debt when only existing resources are used.
Current standards only address reporting requirements when debt is extinguished using bond proceeds.
When cash or other existing resources are placed in an irrevocable trust to extinguish debt, it is
considered to be in-substance defeasance, assuming all criteria are met.
The difference between the reacquisition price and the net carrying amount of the debt will be
recognized as a separately identified gain or loss in the period of defeasance. This differs from current
practice when debt is extinguished using bond proceeds, whereby the difference is deferred.
Payments to the escrow agent from existing resources should be reported as debt service expenditures
in governmental fund types.
The pronouncement will be effective starting with years ending June 30, 2018.
94
GASB STATEMENT NO. 83, CERTAIN ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
Establishes measurement criteria for recording a liability for the retirement or removal of
certain assets such as:
Nuclear power plants
Sewage treatment facilities
Coal-fired power plant
Wind turbines
X-ray machines
Governments with legal obligations to perform future asset retirement activities related to its
tangible capital assets would be required to recognize a liability.
A liability and corresponding deferred outflow is recorded when the liability is both incurred
and reasonable estimable.
The liability is based on the best estimate of the current value of outlays expected to be
incurred.
Must be both an external obligating event, such as a court judgment or federal, state or local
law; and an internal obligating event, such as contamination or retirement.
The pronouncement will be effective starting with years ending June 30, 2019.
GASB STATEMENT NO. 84, FIDUCIARY ACTIVITIES
Establishes criteria for reporting fiduciary activities that focuses on whether the government
controls the assets and the fiduciary relationship with the beneficiaries.
The statement describes four fiduciary funds:
1. Pension and OPEB funds
2. Investment trust funds
3. Private-purpose trust funds
4. Custodial funds
Custodial funds replace agency funds for activities that are not held in trust.
For activities for which a trust agreement exists, an investment trust fund or private purpose
trust fund will be used.
Pension funds not held in trust would be classified as custodial funds.
GASB is working on an Implementation Guide for which an Exposure Draft likely will be issued
in December 2018.
The pronouncement will be effective starting with years ending June 30, 2019.
95
GASB STATEMENT 88, CERTAIN DISCLOSURES RELATED TO DEBT, INCLUDING DIRECT BORROWINGS
AND DIRECT PLACEMENTS
Defines debt for purposes of disclosure as a liability that arises from a contractual obligation
to pay cash or other assets in one or more payments to settle an amount that is fixed as of the
date the obligation is established.
Would exclude pension and OPEB liabilities, leases and accounts payable as those should be
disclosed in separate notes.
Includes capital appreciation bonds and variable rate debt.
Additional note disclosures required for unused lines of credit, assets pledged as collateral,
specific debt agreement terms.
The pronouncement will be effective starting with years ending June 30, 2019.
GASB EXPOSURE DRAFT, ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING FOR MAJORITY EQUITY INTERESTS
Will report majority equity interest as an investment if it meets the definition.
Measured using the equity method, unless held by a special-purpose government engaged only
in fiduciary activities, fiduciary fund or endowment/permanent fund. These funds would
utilize fair value.
For all other majority equity interests, report as component unit and fund that holds the equity
interest reports an asset using the equity method.
Acquisition of a component unit in which government holds 100% interest would be measured
using acquisition value.
Expected effective date: Years ending June 30, 2019.
GASB EXPOSURE DRAFT, ACCOUNTING FOR INTEREST COST DURING PERIOD OF CONSTRUCTION
In financial statements using the economic resources measurement focus, interest incurred
during construction should be recognized as an expense of the period.
In financial statements using the current financial resources measurement focus, interest
incurred during construction should be recognized as an expenditure.
Interest cost should not be capitalized.
Interest does not meet the definition of an asset or a deferred outflow.
Expected effective date: Years ending June 30, 2019 GASB Statement No. 87, leases
This standard will require recognition of certain lease assets and liabilities for leases that are
currently classified as operating leases.
Eliminates the distinction between operating and capital leases - all leases will be recorded
on the statement of net position/balance sheet.
New definition of a lease - a contract that conveys the right to use another entity’s
nonfinancial asset for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like transaction.
Excludes leases that transfer ownership under a bargain purchase option or service concession
arrangements that are covered by GASB Statement No. 60.
Lessees would recognize a lease liability and an intangible right-to-use lease asset which would
be amortized in a systematic and reasonable manner over the shorter of the lease term or the
useful life of the underlying asset. Short-term leases are excluded.
Lessors would recognize lease receivable and deferred inflow of resources which would be
recognized as revenue in a systematic and rational manner over the term of the lease.
The pronouncement will be effective starting with years ending June 30, 2020.
96

Cybersecurity
The board’s role in the oversight of organizational risk is increasingly complicated by cybersecurity concerns.
Trustees need to maintain continual knowledge about evolving cyber issues and management’s plans for
allocating resources and otherwise responding to cyber risks. Such knowledge helps boards assess the priorities
and investment decisions made by management in critical areas. Often, particularly in smaller organizations,
those charged with governance oversee and monitor management’s strategy for protecting its digital assets.
Building on the growing market demand for information about the effectiveness of an entity’s cybersecurity risk
management program and the auditing profession’s long history and skills with respect to external reporting and
auditing information technology controls, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) has
formed an initiative and is currently developing auditing standards and a consistent approach to cybersecurity
attestation to assist boards, management, and other pertinent stakeholders. The subject matter of such a
cybersecurity examination engagement will be composed of three key elements:
1. Management’s narrative description of the entity’s cybersecurity risk management program.
2. Management’s written assertion that the controls implemented as part of the program were effective
to achieve the entity’s cybersecurity objectives.
3. Practitioner’s examination report expressing an opinion about whether management’s description of
the entity’s cybersecurity risk management program and the effectiveness of controls within that
program achieve the entity’s cybersecurity objectives.
In April 2018, the AICPA published the new Cybersecurity Risk Management Framework to its website.
Here are recent tools/materials for use by those charged with governance in this area:

AMCO has received a complete renewal application for the above listed license (see attached application
documents) within your jurisdiction. This is the notice required under 3 AAC 306.035(c)(2).
To protest the approval of this application pursuant to 3 AAC 306.060, you must furnish the director and
the applicant with a clear and concise written statement of reasons for the protest within 60 days of the
date of this notice, and provide AMCO proof of service of the protest upon the applicant.
3 AAC 306.060 states that the board will uphold a local government protest and deny an application for
a marijuana establishment license unless the board finds that a protest by a local government is
arbitrary, capricious, and unreasonable.
At the May 15, 2017, Marijuana Control Board meeting, the board delegated to me the authority to
approve renewal applications with no protests, objections, or notices of violation. However, if a timely
protest or objection is filed for this application, or if any notices of violation have been issued for this
license, the board will consider the application. In those situations, a temporary license may be issued
pending board consideration.
If you have any questions, please email amco.localgovernmentonly@alaska.gov.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Christine Cunningham, Assistant to City Manager
DATE: July 2, 2018
SUBJECT: Action/Approval – Special Use Permit for Kenai Chamber of
Commerce and Visitor Center for the “Moosemeat John” Cabin
The purpose of this memo is to provide a correction to the described area of the Special Use
Permit (SUP) for the Kenai Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center (KCCVC) to use and
operate the “Moosemeat John” cabin.
The correct described area is as follows:
The southeast 100’ x 100’ portion of Lot 1, Gusty Subdivision, Addition No. 8, Kenai
Recording District, according to Plat No. 91-9
The original SUP was for the southeast 100’ x 100’ portion and was expanded in 1995 to 24,500
square feet to include the entire eastern section of the lot where Saturday Market is held. The
attachment submitted with the original Action/Approval memo shows the correct 10,000 square-
foot portion, however the described area in the text of the SUP was incorrect.
Attached is a corrected version.
