MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Mary Bondurant – Airport Manager
DATE: August 6, 2018
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3037-2018 – Airport Terminal Building Rehabilitation
Project
____________________________________________________________________________
City and Airport administration have been working diligently with FAA officials over the past
months to strategize funding options for the rehabilitation of the airport terminal building.
The Airport received notification on July 19, 2018 that the FAA intends to fully fund the project
with conventional airport improvement program monies in FY18; however, this also meant that
the project had to be at least 95% designed, advertised, grant application submitted based on the
bids, and the City to be administratively prepared to sign the grant offer by September 4, 2018.
This opportunity is allowing us to bid the complete project and not push back or phase the project.
This project will start in October 2018 with a completion date of December 1, 2019.
This project has been a long time coming and will modernize the terminal, address deferred
maintenance items, near and midterm facility requirements, and allow passengers a more
enjoyable experience when travelling through the Kenai Airport.
This project is currently being advertised with bid openings on August 27, 2018. Due to the time
constraints, the dollars related to the construction and engineering costs are blank. A substitute
ordinance will be presented at the September 5, 2018 City Council meeting with the actual costs
based on the bids.
Thank you for your consideration.

AMOUNT OF $289,571.00.
WHEREAS, the City formally issued an Invitation to Bid on August 1, 2018, with Bids due on

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Scott Curtin, Public Works Director
DATE: August 28, 2018
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2018–49 Authorize the Purchase of a New Street
Sweeper from Yukon Equipment, Inc.
____________________________________________________________________________
The purpose of this memo is to recommend passage of Resolution 2018-49; to authorize a Bid
Award to Yukon Equipment, Inc. for the purchase of a new Elgin Street Sweeper in the amount
of $289,571.00.
This is a planned replacement, and is included in the City’s current Annual Budget, as indicated
within the Equipment Replacement Fund. This new sweeper will replace an existing 1998 model.
A formal Invitation to Bid was advertised on August 1, 2018, with Bids due on August 15, 2018.
Yukon Equipment, Inc. was found to be the lowest responsive Bidder.
It should be noted the Equipment Replacement Fund indicated a planned replacement cost of
$210,421.00, however this cost was based on the replacement of the existing sweeper which was
purchased used from the Airport. The lower used purchase price resulted in a lower calculated
replacement cost, which accounts for the difference in actual requested funds. The Equipment
Replacement account can fund the amount without adversely affecting future planned
replacements.
Approval of this Resolution will allow the Public Works Department to continue to effectively
maintain our City Streets, minimize sand and debris from blocking storm drains, and eliminate the
expenses that are common with maintaining a twenty year old piece of equipment.
The administration recommends this planned replacement.
Your support for Resolution 2018-49 is respectfully requested.

Assessment Districts. (Council Member Knackstedt) [Clerk’s Note: This Item was
Postponed to this Meeting from the August 1, 2018 Meeting; A Motion to Enact is On
the Floor.]
Appreciation was expressed for the flow chart and the Attorney’s analysis. There was discussion
regarding the requirement for the number of signatures required on the petition proposing the
special assessment district, the application fee, and the timing of the payment of the application
fee. Concern was expressed that the proposed changes were more complex than the existing
regulations and may have some barriers, including the high application fee and multiple steps to
the process where there had only been one. There was also concern expressed regarding the
perception of government.
Clarification was provided that both criteria in section 16.05.120(d) must be met in order for the
project to move forward. Clarification was also provided that an exempt property was sufficiently
covered in a new section of the proposed ordinance.
There was discussion regarding the petition process and how it fit into the overall process; topics
included Council’s approval of the petition language to alleviate disputes, the City Clerk providing
the petition to the sponsors, and who was responsible for circulating the petition.
Clarification was provided that Council was not bound by other legalities with regard to the
assessment provisions and could make a policy decision to deviate.
Support for the ordinance was expressed noting the process was clarified and provided the City
time to focus on and put projects into perspective, and to look into funding options if desired; a
smaller percentage of petition signatures was preferred. There was discussion regarding the
percentage of petition signatures that should be required.
The application fee was discussed. It was noted the City had upfront costs in working with the
applicant and suggested it was important for the City to collect an application fee to ensure the
property owners had seriously considered the project prior to submitting an application. The
Kenai Peninsula Borough fee structure was also discussed.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Scott Curtin – Public Works Director
DATE: August 30, 2018
SUBJECT: PO over $15,000-GMW Fire Protection
____________________________________________________________________________
The purpose of this memo is to authorize this year’s annual Purchase Order to GMW Fire
Protection for Fire Systems Testing, Inspection, and Monitoring of City facilities. These
services, in the amount of $17,892.00, are for year four of a five year contract.
Additionally, Council’s approval is requested to execute a change order increasing the PO
amount by $3,700.00 to cover the costs associated with a Fire System service call at Vintage
Point on July 11, 2018. Total Purchase Order not to exceed $21,592.00.
Additional background information as follows: on December 30, 2014, we received bids for the
Fire Systems Testing Inspection and Monitoring and GMW Fire Protection was the lowest
responsive bidder.
The recommendation from administration was to award contract to GMW for the base bid and
additive alternates one, two, and three.
The base bid included fire alarm panel monitoring, and testing and inspection of the fire alarms,
sprinkler systems, kitchen hoods, and fire extinguishers. It also includes an allowance for
miscellaneous items to be furnished and installed if found defective or out of date during the
annual inspections, e.g. fire alarm panel batteries. This allowance enables us to efficiently
remediate common and inexpensive issues discovered during the inspection at a competitively
bid price.
The additive alternates added three facilities to this procurement that historically had been sole
sourced to different contractors. This award consolidated all of the City’s fire alarm panel
monitoring into one contract.
47
PO over $15,000-GMW Fire Protection
Another change from previous agreements for these services, proposed by Dan Castimore, was
the transfer of responsibility for providing communication equipment and telephone lines from
the City to the Contractor. As a result of offering a five year contract the low bidder was able to
spread out the cost of providing new equipment over the term of the contract, resulting in
significant savings to the City.
Council’s approval is respectfully requested.

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).

the applicant with a clear and concise written statement of reasons for the protest within 60 days of the

approve renewal applications with no protests, objections, or notices of violation. However, if a timely

pending board consideration.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Elizabeth Appleby, City Planner
DATE: August 30, 2018
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3039-2018
____________________________________________________________________________
Ordinance 3039-2018 recommends two changes to City Code for surface extraction of natural
resource permits:
• Requirement for the site plan to be certified or prepared by an appropriate professional
discipline;
• Requirement for the proposed surface extraction to be located outside of the currently
designated 1% Annual Chance Flood Zone (100-year floodplain), 0.2% Annual Chance
Flood Zone (500-year floodplain), or high-hazard coastal areas.
These changes reflect Resolution No. PZ2018-19 passed by the Planning and Zoning
Commission at their August 22, 2018 meeting, attached to this memorandum. The added
requirement for a site plan ensures developers carefully map and measure the location of their
extraction and related activities. The requirement states the site plan must be certified or prepared
by an appropriate professional, which leaves flexibility for developers.
No currently permitted gravel pits are located within the 1% Annual Chance Flood Zone (100-year
floodplain), 0.2% Annual Chance Flood Zone (500-year floodplain), or high-hazard coastal areas
as defined by the most current floodplain maps developed by the locally-approved (by the Kenai
Peninsula Borough) Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate
Map (FIRM) panels. These panels are currently from 1981 and 2016 elevation data. Updated
FIRM panels could reflect improved elevation evaluation technology, but the definition of a
floodplain should not change. Updated federal maps have to be locally approved to be accepted.
Currently, the Kenai Peninsula Borough approves floodplain maps because the City of Kenai does
not have a separate floodplain ordinance or participate in the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP). Attached are the most currently available floodplain maps and maps showing locations of
73
Page 2 of 2
Ordinance No. 3039-2018
all currently permitted gravel pits within the City of Kenai to this memorandum. Developers would
check with the City of Kenai to make sure they are outside of the 1% Annual Chance Flood Zone
(100-year floodplain), 0.2% Annual Chance Flood Zone (500-year floodplain), and high-hazard
coastal areas, and the maps would be made available on the City website to the public.
The City made it a priority to protect the Kenai River and dunes in the 2016 Comprehensive Plan.
This Code change will streamline the evaluation process for the City and encourage any new
gravel pits to be developed in desirable locations outside of the floodplain.
Your consideration is appreciated.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Kenai City Council
FROM: Mayor Brian Gabriel
DATE: August 22, 2018
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3040-2018
____________________________________________________________________________
My initial interest in this Ordinance was to provide an exception from the general prohibition on
trapping animals in the City to allow for trapping or killing problem animals. While KMC 3.05.010
defines “animals” for purposes of Title 3-Animal Control, as domestic animals and my primary
concerns is with wild animals, such as beavers, KMC 3.10.060- Cruelty to Animals, currently
prohibits all trapping in the City. Occasionally, beaver activity alters the course of waterways
jeopardizing roads, culverts, airport property and other infrastructure. Often the only prudent
course of action is to remove these animals either by trapping or hunting. The trapping is done by
experienced professionals in a manner that reduces reasonable risk to pets with notification and
permission from the Department of Fish and Game.
Review of my proposed changes by the Legal Department and Animal Control, resulted in further
recommended amendments regarding animal care and euthanasia. These changes include an
exception from the prohibition on killing animals for the harvest of livestock and protecting oneself
and their property from animals. Further, the proposed amendments detail when it is appropriate
to humanely end the life of an animal that is injured, ill or otherwise suffering and the process for
City employees to do so. Finally there are recommended changes adding to the existing care
requirements for animal owners requiring clean water, protection from weather, and appropriate
veterinary care be provided to animals.
Your consideration is appreciated.

8. NEW BUSINESS
a. Surface Extraction Code Discussion - Discuss potential updates to the surface
extraction code to obtain a permit
Staff reviewed the currently active permits of surface extraction operations, and provided a recap
of the annual report. A series of maps were presented showing the current permitted gravel pits,
a map to show individuals interested in a gravel pit locations away from the flood plain risk, and
a combined map showing the floodplain areas and the current permitted gravel pits. It was
clarified that none of the current permitted gravel pits were in the floodplain.
The City Planner recommended to the Commission to consider a Code amendment that would
not allow surface extraction of natural resource conditional use permit applications within the 100-
year floodplain, 500-year floodplain, or high-hazard coastal areas in currently mapped floodplain
areas. Amending the site plan submission requirements for a conditional use permit for surface
extraction of natural resources to state the site plan must be certified or prepared by the
appropriate professional discipline, likely a surveyor or engineer was also recommended. It was
noted this would ensure the City receives a site plan that clearly stated the proposed development,
and the applicant had a greater understanding of what they were proposing. Staff noted that
similar requirements existed under Code for the Kenai Peninsula Borough and the City of Palmer.
The National Flood Insurance Program was referenced and suggested the City of Kenai develop
one to have more control. Clarification was provided that a resident was unable to get flood
insurance so it would be beneficial for the City of Kenai and residents for a future discussion and
plan.
Possible options for Code amendments, including waiting until the Kenai Peninsula Borough
changes were developed early next year, recommending a moratorium on all gravel extractions,
requiring a professional site plan with a conditional use permit application, increasing restrictions
to require applicants to propose ends dates on gravel pit operations and only allowing specific
hours of operations during summer months versus winter months, were topics discussed.
MOTION:
Commissioner Askin MOVED to amend the Surface Extraction Code as recommended by staff 94

and bring back to the Commission for review and Commissioner Halstead SECONDED. There
were no objections; SO ORDERED.
b. Sign Code Discussion – Discuss plans to update the sign code
Staff reviewed the specific issues with the current Sign Code, the topics to be addressed in the
Sign Code update, and the process. Goals for the sign code update were outlined as follows:
• Work with the community to obtain appropriate guidance from residents and
businesses;
• Make the Code easy to interpret;
• Make the Code enforceable;
• Make the Code legal (no content-based regulation); and
• Create appropriate standards for different categories of signs in different areas of
the City of Kenai.
Examples of varying signs outside of the City of Kenai for consideration in the Sign Code update
were provided. It was recommended to start the process from scratch versus revising the existing
code. Staff noted that it was a broad end goal to have updates to the Sign Code by summer 2019
and summarized the plans of the next meeting and moving forward.
Commissioners expressed support in revamping the Sign Code, suggested following the City of
Soldotna as a template and have a joint work session. The City Planner was thanked for the
report.
Resident, Kristine Schmidt spoke in opposition of reducing the code restrictions and noted the
Beautification Committee and community members should be a part of the process.

areas.
