RE: Ordinance No. 1807-98 -Design of Multi-purpose Facility
The Kenai Peninsula Borough is in the process of obtaining the land adjacent to Kenai
Central High School from the Mental Health Trust Fund. This transfer is anticipated to
occur on February 19. The Borough will then transfer the land to the City of Kenai for
siting of the multi-purpose recreation facility and the Challenger Learning Center.
A request is being forwarded to Mental Health Trust which will give the City the
authority to conduct soils testing and surveying on the property and to proceed with
application for a conditional use permit to allow for the construction of the facilities on
this parcel. It is anticipated permission to proceed will be granted.
Ordinance No. 1807-98 and the resolution of award, which will be before you on
December 16, are premised on the acquisition of this parcel and the granting of the
Conditional Use Permit. Should we proceed with the design, and the conditional use for
this parcel is denied, then an additional cost of up to $10,000 could be incurred to
modify the design to fit another piece of land.
It is the recommendation of the Administration that we proceed with design award and
not wait until after actual land transfer and approval of conditional use. The project
would not go out for construction bid until those issues are resolved. By proceeding,
we would be able to make this construction season possibly, even if there were a
change in siting.
We also have an opportunity to share site infrastructure costs with the Challenger
Learning Center project by bidding both together.
