Pursuant to City Charter, a meeting may be cancelled by the Mayor due to a lac k of a quorum, for an emergency, or by a majority of council members for any reason as long as at least twenty (20) regular meetings are held each year and at least one each month . The proposed resolut io n maintains at least one regular meeting each month and more than the minimum twenty (20) regular meeting each year. After reviewing previous calendars, this resolution proposes scheduling regular meetings every first and third Wednesday of each month , except for the months of Ju ly and November, when a second meeting of each month would be cancelled. The second meeting of July coincides with the peak season the personal use dipnet fishery which consumes the full attention of the administration and is a busy time of year for other residents. The second meeting in November coincides with the AML conferences in Anchorage, which are attended by ma ny council members and administrative personnel. A meeting for consideration would be the first meeting in January 2019. In the past, a second meeting in December has been cancelled due to its proximity to Christmas, recognizing that many Council Members , staff, and residents were travelling or on leave . In 2019, the first meeting in January, due to its proximity to the holidays, may be a meeting that Council would like to cancel recognizing Council Members , staff, and residents might still be travelling. If it is decided that the first meeting in January (January 2, 2019), should be cancelled the following amendment will need to be made to the Resolution : Adding an eighth whereas clause to read, "Whereas, cancelling the first meeting in January due to its proximity to the holidays, recognizes Council Members, staff, and residents migh t be travelling or on 7 Page 2 of 2 Resolution No. 2018-61 leave ," adding to the now ninth whereas clause, "January comma," before the word July, and adding to the end of Section 1, "and there will only be one meeting in January on the thi rd Monday of th e month." The calendar attached to this memo is included for your reference and is not an exhibit to the Resolution. Your consideration is appreciated. 8 January Su I Mo I Tu 1 6 7 8 13 14 15 20 21 221 23 271 281 291 30 Th I Fr I Sa 3 4 5 10 11 12 17 18 19 24 25 26 31 February Su I Mo I Tu I We I Th I Fr 1 1 Sa 2 31 41 5 71 81 9 101 11 12 14 15 16 171 18 19 21 22 23 241 25 261 27 28 March Su I Mo I Tu I We I Th I Fr 1 1 Sa 2 3 4 5 7 8 9 10 11 12 14 15 16 17 18 19 21 22 23 24 25 26 28 29 30 31 2019 April Su I Mo I Tu Th I Fr I Sa 1 2 4 5 6 13 20 27 t-----+---+-- 7 8 9 11 12 14 15 16 18 19 21 22 23 25 26 281 291 30 May Su I Mo I Tu SI 61 7 121 13 14 191 20 211 22 261 27 281 29 June Th Fr Sa 2 3 4 9 10 11 16 17 18 23 24 25 30 31 Su I Mo I Tu I We I Th I Fr I Sa 21 3 91 10 161 17 231 24 30 4 11 18 251 26 1 6 7 8 13 14 15 20 21 22 27 28 29 July Su I Mo I Tu Th I Fr I Sa 1 2 4 5 6 7 1 8 91 10 11 12 13 141 15 161 17 18 19 20 211 22 231 24 25 26 27 281 29 301 31 August Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 1 2 3 41 SI 6 8 9 10 11 12 13 15 16 17 18 19 20 22 23 24 25 26 27 29 30 31 September Su I Mo I Tu 1 2 3 Th I Fr I Sa 5 6 7 81 9 10 12 13 14 151 16 17 19 20 21 221 23 24 25 26 27 28 291 30 October Su I Mo I Tu Th I Fr I Sa 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 15 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 November Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 1 2 3 4 5 • 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 December Su I Mo I Tu 1 2 3 Th I Fr I Sa 5 6 7 8 91 10 12 131 14 15 161 17 19 201 21 22 231 24 25 26 27 1 28 29 301 31 9 Sponsored by : Adm inistration CITY OF KENAI RESOLUTION NO. 2018-62 A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI , ALASKA, DECLARING A lWENTY-FIVE FOOT (25 ') ALLEYWAY ADJACENT TO THE NORTHERN BOUNDARIES OF LOTS 1 AND 2, SHADURA SUBDIVISION, AS SET FORTH ON THE ATTACHED EXHIBIT "A " THE ALLEYWAY IS NOT NEEDED FOR A PUBLIC PURPOSE AND CONSENTING TO ITS VACATION .

Lots 1 and 2 are surrounded by Tract A. The preliminary plat submitted by Mclane Consulting to the City of Kenai shows Lot 1, Lot 2, and Tract A combined into Tract A-1. Tract A-1 would be approximately 3.957 acres. The proposed Tract A-1 meets the minimum lot requirements requ ired in the Central Mixed Use (CMU) Zone by Kenai Municipal Code (KMC) 14.24. In addition, the owner would like to vacate the twenty-five (25)-foot alley located north of Lots 1 and 2, Shadura Subdivision , and south of Tract B, Gusty Subd ivi sion Addition No . 2. This alley was never constructed or used to provide access to and from the properties. Vacating the alley will not impact access or utilities on any of the adjacent properties . The Kenai City Cou nci l must declare the twenty-five (25)-foot alley not needed for a public use and approve the vacation as shown on the preliminary plat, pursuant to KMC 22.05.110. The parcels are connected to City water and sewer services. Access to the property is provided via the Kenai Spur Highway, a paved , State-maintained road. T he existing building on the parcels formerly housed a Napa Auto Parts store. As the building crosses the property line between Lots 1 and 2 and may encroach on Tract A, the building is a non -confo rming structu re. The replat would bring the structure into conformance.

Bondurant – Airport Manager DATE: July 19, 2018 SUBJECT: Field of Flowers Signage Since October 2017, Airport Administration has been working at the direction of Airport Commission to provide designs for a sign that would be installed in the area of Lawton Acres known as the Field of Flowers. The sign should include the airport logo or wording “property of Kenai Municipal Airport”. At the July 12, 2018 Airport Commission meeting final comments were taken and the sign re- designed as attached. Airport Commission also asked Councilman Henry Knackstedt to present this to City Council at the August 1, 2018 meeting. Attachment 38 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Gabriel and Kenai City Council FROM: Henry Knackstedt, Councilor DATE: August 1, 2018 SUBJECT: Airport Commission Recommended Sign for the Field of Flowers At the request of the Airport Commission from the July 12, 2018 meeting, I request that Council provide direction to Administration to install the attached sign on Airport Property, commonly known as the Field of Flowers. The sign is to be 4’x8’ with printing on both sides, and is to be installed on 4x4 posts facing the Kenai Spur Highway near the electrical guy pole, roughly 100’ from the curb. The sign will be attached in such a way that it can be easily removed for winter, if desired. The Airport Commission has been working on the design of the sign in cooperation with Administration for nearly a year. An attractive sign will bring attention to the field from the highway, and shows that the field is a cooperative effort between the Airport and City of Kenai. The cost of the sign will be responsibility of the Airport. On behalf of the Airport Commission, I request your support for the sign.

Section 4. Enacting Section 13.30.015 of the Kenai Municipal Code: That Kenai Municipal Code, Section 13.30.015 – State traffic regulations adopted, is hereby enacted as follows: 13.30.015 – State Traffic Bail Forfeiture Schedules Adopted by Reference.

BRIAN GABRIEL SR., MAYOR ATTEST: ___________________________________ Jamie Heinz, CMC, City Clerk Introduced: October 3, 2018 Enacted: October 17, 2018 Effective: November 16, 2018 51 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council FROM: Scott Bloom, City Attorney DATE: September 28, 2018 SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3044-2018 ____________________________________________________________________________ The City prosecutes various minor offenses, some of which are defined in state law and incorporated into City code by reference, such as basic speeding violations, and others which are unique to the City, such as improper disposal of fish carcasses. While the Kenai Police Department cites people for both violations of City law and State law, the City only processes and prosecutes those state offenses incorporated into City code and unique City offenses. For State citations that are not incorporated into City code, Kenai police officers represent the State in court by themselves with any fine amount upheld going to the State. The City’s Legal Department and Police Department believe it is in the City’s best interest to adopt all of the State defined minor traffic offenses. While this will result in additional work to the Legal Department, it will allow the City to retain prosecutorial discretion, enable the City attorney to represent the Kenai Police Department in court on contested citations, and cause any fine amounts recovered to go to the City instead of the State. The City Attorney’s office believes any additional work load will be manageable. The additional State traffic offenses that would be incorporated into City code are provided in the table below with corresponding fine amounts. Those that say “mandatory” require the alleged violator to appear in court prior to a fine being paid. Those that include “correctable” are violations that can be dismissed upon the person cited showing that they have fixed the problem alleged within a given time period. This Ordinance also addresses several housekeeping issues brought to the City’s attention by the Alaska Court System administration. In recent years there have been changes to the State’s Minor Offense Laws and Court System procedures, some of which the City has already complied with and some of which still need to be addressed in this Ordinance. The changes in this Ordinance primarily involve more specific descriptions of various City violations, for example separately listing first and second violations in the City’s fine schedule and separately listing subparts of violations that carry different fine amounts. For example, where the City used to list littering in its fine schedule, there is now separately listed littering with fish carcasses and littering other refuse, which carry separate fine consequences. The City has also added offenses to the 52 Page 2 of 3 Ordinance 3044-2018 fine table that are described in City code but not in the fine table, such as burning pallets on the beach. The Legal Department has worked through its minor offense procedures and specifically this Ordinance with help and review from Helen Sharratt, Integrated Justice Coordinator for the Alaska Court System, and extends its gratitude for her efforts. Your consideration is appreciated.

There were no objections; SO ORDERED. 5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS a. Discussion – Lawton Drive Extension The Parks and Recreation Director presented the new trailhead sign for the Lawton Drive extension area. It was noted that recommendations from the previous meeting were incorporated and that Joe Halstead assisted with the design. It was pointed out that the Commission previously suggested the language specific to All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) use should be a separate sign and would be completed in a couple weeks. The Director clarified the sign would be located near the end of the gate, close to the access point. It was suggested that a dog waste disposal station also be included at the trail heads. 6. NEW BUSINESS a. Discussion – Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) Gratitude was expressed for the work session discussion prior to this meeting and reviewing the CIP list. The Chair opened the floor to more discussion and recommendations. It was clarified that the CIP list were recommendations only meant to help guide future planning. Interest was noted in establishing places for people to gather and recreate, for example, the Event Park and lit ski trails. It was further noted that some that enjoy skiing do not get off work until after dark and having an area to ski in a lit area would be beneficial. It was added that the Kenai Central High School ski team would appreciate it as well. Other Commission members concurred noting that the events in Soldotna on Wednesdays, for example, were great and thought that Kenai could provide some of the same activities, outdoor music, plays, etc. The Director clarified that because the Old Town playground project had more momentum due to potential involvement of the Kenaitze Indian Tribe, the 4th Avenue Park upgrade from FY19 was not carried forward. Interest was noted in the possibility of lighting the ski trails and suggested it be moved to position number two on the list, moving the cemetery fence replacement project down on the list. MOTION: Commissioner Kisena MOVED to make the Outdoor Event Park (Phase 1) as Priority No. 1 and the Kenai Nordic Trail Lighting (Design fee and construction) as Priority No. 2 on the CIP list; and Commissioner Widmayer SECONDED the motion.

Box 971, Drive, Kenai, Alaska 99611 The City Planner reviewed the staff report as provided in the meeting packet and specifically noted the Public Works Director reviewed the proposed plat and determined that it was not necessary for the property owners to do any additional work to upgrade the driveway located in the right-of-way for Fourth Street at this time.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS a. Discussion – Rock Garden The Parks and Recreation Director reported that he reached out to the Hansen and Wisniewski families and both concurred that the rose garden near the water fountain was an appropriate location for a rock garden. It was further noted that the department reached out to Sarah Kaiser of Rock the Kenai and she would provide a rock painting activity at the upcoming Fall Pumpkin Festival. b. Discussion – Beautification Tour Follow-Up A follow-up PowerPoint presentation of this past summer’s flowerbeds was provided by the Director. Each of the City’s flowerbeds were reviewed with opportunities for members to provide comment on. It was noted that overall, flowers were delayed this summer. Some of this was attributed to cold weather early on and some attributed to poor ventilation in the greenhouse during May and early June. It was further noted that certain beds were not prolific until July. Some of the recommendations from the Beautification Committee included:  Favorable to the idea of adding shrubs under the jet located at the Airport Triangle;  Add timbers to linear beds at the Airport Triangle;  Remove irises at the Library and substitute with more suitable material;  Repair timbers at Erik Hansen Scout Park;  Plant petunias around perimeter of the Fire Department bed; and  Explore ordering red poppies. 6.

ADJOURNMENT There being no further business before the Committee, the meeting was adjourned at 7:39 p.m. Meeting summary prepared and submitted by: ___________________________________ Jacquelyn Kennedy Deputy City Clerk 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council FROM: Paul Ostrander, City Manager DATE: November 29, 2018 SUBJECT: 2018 Personal Use Fishery (Dip Net) Report The Personal Use Fishery, took place July 10, 2018 through July 29, 2018. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game closed the fishery two days early citing concerns that the minimum escapement of sockeye would not be met. Participation in the Fishery was down significantly during 2018, with total transactions at the City fee shacks declining 30% year over year. The following table depicts the run strength in 2018 relative to the previous three years: 0 20,000 40,000 60,000 80,000 Kenai River Sockeye Counts 2015 2016 2017 2018 121 Page 2 of 4 2018 Personal Use Fishery (Dip Net) Report The timing of the 2018 Personal Use Fishery sockeye run continued a recent trend where the peak of the fishery seems to be appearing later than what has been experienced historically. Due to escapement numbers far below historical averages, fishery participants reported consistently slow fishing with only short periods where fishing would be considered good. Operations in 2018 The no wake zone along approximately 6,000 lineal feet of the Kenai River continued to work extremely well this year from the first day of the fishery until the last. Fishery participants expressed their appreciation for having a portion of the River in which to fish and not be buffeted by the wake from speeding boats. It is the Administration’s intent to continue to manage the no wake zone in the same manner in the future. In 2018 the entrance to the south shore via Old Cannery Road was again closed through a temporary section-line access closure permit issued to the City by the Alaska Department of Natural Resources. An application to permanently vacate that section line has been processed by the Alaska Department of Natural Resources and is now working its way through final steps towards the vacation. It is anticipated that the section line will be fully vacated by the 2019 season. It is Administration’s intent to continue to eliminate all access at Old Cannery Road and Dunes Road in the future as a result of the construction of the superior Royal Street access road to the south shore. Operational Changes in 2018 There were no significant operational changes that occurred in 2018 although several small changes are worth noting:  An informational booth was established on North Beach, staffed by ADF&G and Kenai Watershed personnel Friday to Sunday.  Alaska Department of Environmental information was included both as handouts at the fee shacks and on the City’s Dipnet App.  Safe Boating Rules of the Road information was provided to all fishery participants that utilized the City Launch. Construction of a New Access to the Beach South of the Mouth of the Kenai River As a component of eliminating conflicts with private property owners and providing enhanced access for the personal use fishery and other recreational users, the City approached the Legislature late in the 2013 session and requested $2.3 million to fund construction of a new access road and associated infrastructure. The Legislature appropriated $1.9 million for the project. This access would be constructed to the north of private properties in the area and eliminate alleged trespass issues across private property by fishery participants and others attempting to access the south shore at the mouth of the Kenai River. The City purchased property and constructed phase I (gravel surfacing) of the new Royal Street access road in early 2016. The City completed the sale of the surplus properties in 2018 for 122 Page 3 of 4 2018 Personal Use Fishery (Dip Net) Report $825,000. The proceeds from that sale will be utilized for additional infrastructure improvements to support the personal use fishery. Dip Net App In 2018 the City built a Dip Net App for iPhone and Android devices, free to download, that provided up to date information on the fishery including tide information, fish counts, weather, fee calculators, general fishery information, webcams, and additional information that was relevant and useful for fishery participants. The App also allowed the City to provide “push notifications”, with timely information to help improve the experience and safety for anyone that downloaded the App. The City provided an opportunity for businesses to advertise on the App, an inexpensive way for them to gain exposure to the thousands of Fishery participants. The use of the app was down this year, likely due to lower participation numbers in the Fishery. Over the last two years, the app has been downloaded over 12,500 times. The City intends to continually improve the App in future years. 2018 Financial Summary The Council adopted budget for the Personal Use Fishery was for revenues of $541,419, expenditures of $558,601, and a lapse of $21,151, or revenues over expenditures of $3,969. Revenues are projected at $357,218, projected expenses are $486,434, and the projected lapse is $5,000 or revenues over expenditures of ($124,216). For the first time in FY2019 a transfer of $50,000 was made from the P.U. Fishery Fund to the General Fund to support general operations of the City. The Personal Use Fishery Fund began FY2019, with a fund balance of $293,894 given the above the ending fund balance for FY2019 is projected to be $169,678. The purpose of a fund balance is to provide funding for present and future capital expenditures to support City operations during the Fishery, and to safeguard the City’s General Fund in the event that the Fishery is closed by emergency order and the City is unable to recoup expenditures. Personal Use Fishery Fund Management Prior to FY2014, the City had instituted accounting controls so that expenses and revenues associated with the personal use fishery were identified as discretely separate from other City operations. In many ways, this accounting mirrored the manner in which enterprise funds capture financial information. The creation of the Personal Use Fishery Fund, provides a funding mechanism where fund balance can be utilized to provide funding for larger one-time capital expenditures or other purposes deemed appropriate by Council. Fund balance for FY2014 through FY2018 was $29,063, $67,662, $139,936, $209,896, and $293,894 respectively. Ending Fund balance for FY 2019 is projected to be $169,678. 123 Page 4 of 4 2018 Personal Use Fishery (Dip Net) Report Administration feels that the Personal Use Fishery fund balance is sufficient to support capital expenditures to support City operations during the Fishery, and protect the City’s General Fund. The continued use of revenues generated from the Fishery to support General Fund capital projects and / or operations will need to be considered annually during the budget process. Capital Improvements for the Personal Use Fishery Fund As the fishery has evolved and the City of Kenai has responded by creating its overall management plan, a growing component of the plan has been the capital needs to manage, react, and respond to the needs of the fishery participants. The City received a capital grant in 2015 for Kenai River South Beach Dip Net Access of which there is still a balance of $791,980. Administration intends to pursue a small grant language change through the legislative process to allow utilization of these funds for improvements on the North Beach as well. Given the State of Alaska’s fiscal issues, it is doubtful that the City of Kenai will receive additional State grants for capital improvements to respond to Fishery needs in the foreseeable future. Proposed Changes to the 2019 Fee Structure Administration does not recommend any changes to the fee structure for the 2019 Personal Use Fishery. If you have any questions, please contact me at your convenience. 124 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager FROM: Terry Eubank, Finance Director DATE: November 27, 2018 SUBJECT: 2018 Dipnet Summary Dipnet Smartphone App 2018 marked the second year of the Dipnet Kenai smartphone app. Use of the app was down 44% this year, which is reasonable given the 30% decline in total transactions. The app was downloaded 3,915 times bringing the total installs to 12,667. Changes this year include automating the fish counts, and providing tide and weather information in real time. Overall, the Dipnet Kenai app remains a success. The City website, which averages 15,000 page views per month, jumped to 104,000 in July. 77,000 of these views were related to dipnet, with 63,000 coming from dipnet cameras. Improvements During FY18 underground utilities were installed at South Beach. This project was fairly simple, and has improved the reliability of shack operations. Future installation of the shacks on South Beach will be quicker and simpler in the future. In addition to South Beach utility work, permanent power was installed to the cameras on Main St. This allows the cameras to work year round, and improved reliability over 2017. FY19 Revenues The FY19 fee structure remained the same as that of FY18. FY19 fishery revenues, not including capital grant revenues and net of sales tax and transaction fees, are projected to be $357,218, $184,201 less than budgeted and $162,425 less than FY18 fishery revenues. Capital grant revenue is projected to be $15,000. A comparison of FY19 fishery revenue to prior years is shown below, the breakdown by site and service for FY14 thru FY19 is based upon actual transactions. Prior year transactions by site and service were estimated. The cashiering system implemented in FY14 provides this level of detail and will enhance future revenue and fee change projections. 125 FY10 FY11 FY12 FY13 FY14 FY15 FY16 FY17 FY18 FY19 Projected South Beach $ 60,385 $ 64,509 $ 90,942 $127,265 $157,074 $189,226 $174,260 $175,439 $158,665 $ 93,448 North Beach 113,576 120,314 133,349 148,481 177,599 226,221 234,140 253,218 234,298 157,467 City Dock 66,569 85,964 78,194 86,342 105,899 117,064 146,599 142,901 123,612 101,383 Interest - - - - - 680 1,580 671 1,522 750 PERS On-behalf - - - - - 17,437 2,167 2,688 1,546 4,169 Capital Grants 41,150 156,920 133,563 111,073 233,107 92,043 24,494 21,725 46,920 15,000 Total $281,680 $427,707 $436,048 $473,161 $673,679 $642,671 $583,240 $596,642 $566,563 $372,217 $- $100,000 $200,000 $300,000 $400,000 $500,000 $600,000 $700,000 Dipnet Revenue South Beach North Beach City Dock Interest PERS On-behalf Capital Grants Total 126 Participants with a 99611 zip code were 10% of the total. Participants from the Central Peninsula, including Kenai, Soldotna, and Sterling were 17% of the total. The entire Kenai Peninsula Borough totaled 20%. The largest user group was from the Municipality of Anchorage at 52% with the Mat-Su Borough at 13%. 2018 marked the 6th year with the new computerized permit sale system. Over the years, many changes have occurred to the fee structure and also the process the City uses to operate the fishery. As such, only 4 years of data are comparable for the North and South beaches. 5 years of data are available at the dock as there have been no substantial changes at this location. Several services such as drop off or 1 hour free parking are also not averaged over the whole period as they have been added or have changed significantly. Municipality of Anchorage 52% Matanuska- Susitna Borough 13% Other State or Unknown 11%Other Area of Alaska 4% Kenai 10% Soldotna 6%Homer 1% Sterling 1% Other KPB 2% Kenai Peninsula 20% Total Transactions 127 Transactions this year were down 31% from the average. A comparison of the cumulative Kenai River sockeye salmon count through July 31st to the number of transactions indicates that reduced fish returns have a correlation to the number of transactions. The number of free transactions was down 10% over the previous year. South Beach was down 42% from the average. The second fee shack was staffed only on weekends for the second year in a row. It is recommended that this practice continue for the future. The period between 5am and 3pm was again the busiest time for 2018, with 12:00pm having the most transactions per hour for the day. This is because people cannot renew their overnight permits until 12:00pm. For the 2019 fishery, plans to allow participants to renew overnight permits any time will help reduce this busy period. The second busiest time was 5:00 to 6:00am, this is due to day use permits only being available after 5:00am. Payment of fees by cash was once again the dominant method at 59%, a 4% decrease from last year. Credit card use increased by 5% to 41%, and checks were insignificant. It is expected that credit card payment percentage will continue to grow in future years. Fees paid for credit card acceptance totaled $4,655 or 3.05% of fees paid by credit card. 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 Total Transactions 22,542 24,878 22,338 20,068 14,283 Cumulative Fish Count 892,678 890,629 911,929 747,349 452,747 - 100,000 200,000 300,000 400,000 500,000 600,000 700,000 800,000 900,000 1,000,000 - 5,000 10,000 15,000 20,000 25,000 30,000 Cumulative Fish Count Through July 31Number of TransactionsTransactions Vs.

FY19 Summary and Recommendations South Spruce Underground Utilities Relocation of fee shacks to the top of South Spruce Street has proven to be successful providing greater control and a safer environment for fishery participants and City staff. To complete this move, permanent utility vaults should be installed in the roadway for easier and safer installation of fee shacks. The curb must also be cut and the roadway expanded in the area of the fee shacks to provide the needed width for safe operations of two shacks in that area. The estimated cost of these permanent upgrades is $35,000. This project was funded in FY18 with the work to be completed prior to the 2019 season. Traffic Gates The use of automatic traffic barricades on North Beach has been a major success. Installing gates on South Beach will increase safety by stopping traffic from traveling in the incorrect lane, or bypassing the shacks. The estimated cost of these upgrades is $15,000 and the project is eligible for reimbursement by the DCCED grant for south beach access improvements. Replacement Equipment Each year various equipment needs to be replaced for the fee shacks as well as the camera system. Necessary replacements this year include traffic gate parts, cash drawer parts, and several replacement cameras. Estimated cost for this is $4,500 which will be included in the department’s FY20 budget request. Dipnet App & Point of Sale Software Improvements A number of improvements were identified during the 2018 fishery for the Point of Sale software. Currently participants can only renew their overnight permits after 12:00pm. This causes a large line at the shacks at 12:00pm, and also upsets customers who come up early to renew their permit. Changes are planned to allow participants to upgrade or extend their permit at any time. Annual updates and improvements are made to the Point of Sale software at an estimated cost of $1,500 which will be included in the department’s FY20 budget request. 129 FY2019 Remaining Operational Requests-P.

In 2018, the City employed five temporary enforcement officers (TEOs) dedicated to Police Dipnet operations, this was a reduction from prior years of employing six. Significant 2018 Police Dipnet information includes: • Police handled 69 Dipnet-related calls for service during the month of July. Those calls included a wide variety of issues: 9 (9-1-1) misdials, 7 parking problems, 3 traffic congestion, 1 motor vehicle crash, 7 vehicle unlocks, 1 theft, 2 stuck vehicles, 7 lost & found property, 3 welfare checks, 5 traffic offenses, 2 disorderly complaints, and 22 other miscellaneous calls for service. Notably, the police did not respond to any reports of boat collisions, boats capsized, or lost children. • TEOs wrote 91 dipnet related citations (primarily for paid parking and other parking related violations). • Salmon Frenzy volunteers were here in large numbers again and provided invaluable assistance in regards to traffic control during the busy weekend hours, on both Kenai Ave. and at the City Dock. • This was the second year of the incorporation of a Dipnet App into the dipnet operations by the City. It was a convenient place to direct people that were looking for information on the fishery, as well as a great resource for pushing out information to the public when needed. Slower activity in the fishery and an early closure led to significantly less police calls and activity than prior years. 147 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager FROM: Jeff Tucker, Fire Chief DATE: November 6, 2018 SUBJECT: 2018 Dipnet Report – Fire Department For the 2018 dip-net season the department again conducted No Wake Zone patrols in conjunction with the Kenai Police Department. Our activities on the water were received positively by the public. Total overtime staff hours for the patrols was 18.50 hours. Calls for service directly related to the area of the fishery was down from 2017. In 2017 we responded to 8 calls for service and in 2017 we responded to 2 calls for service The calls for service directly related to the dip-net fishery this year included the following:  Cardiac Arrest on South Beach  Water Hazard – Snug Harbor Seafood The Departments overall calls for service saw a decline for the month of July 2018 as compared to the previous 3 years. 148 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager FROM: Robert J. Frates, Parks & Recreation Director DATE: November 12, 2018 SUBJECT: 2018 Dipnet Report – Parks & Recreation ____________________________________________________________________________ The 2018 Kenai River Personal Use Dipnet Fishery opened at 6:00 a.m. on July 10 and concluded on July 30 at 12:01 a.m. The Department of Fish and Game announced the closure of the fishery prior to the end date of July 31 after indicators suggested the sustainable escapement goal may not be reached due to a weak run. Despite the low number of returning Kenai River sockeye salmon and lower than usual dipnet participant levels, the department invested a significant amount of time and resources successfully preparing and performing tasks in support of the fishery. Below are some significant planning and operational highlights related to the 2018 fishery:  Coordinated with ADF&G for establishment of an informational booth on North Beach. Booth was staffed in 4-hour shifts by ADF&G staff and KWF volunteers each Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  Assisted with the ACWA-Beach Grant Application through the Kenai Watershed Forum and distributed DEC’s informational pamphlets at the fee shacks.  Through a coordinated effort by City Manager Ostrander, IT System Manager Castimore and Information Officer (DEC) Laura Achee, DEC’s Safe Dip Netting on the Kenai River Beaches information was included on the City’s dip net app.  Distributed Safe Boating Rules of the Road information at the City Dock facility.  Collaborated with IT System Manager Castimore with staffing, inventory and fee collection operations at fee shacks.  Installation and removal of temporary regulatory signs, i.e., trespassing, parking, advisory and informational.  Installation and removal of temporary dune protection fencing. 149 Page 2 of 3 2018 Dipnet Report – Parks & Recreation  Striped the Kenai Little League parking lot and established staff parking.  Coordinated placement of portable restrooms and dumpsters.  Conducted beach raking activities on the North and South Beaches. This year’s activity also included picking up nails utilizing a magnetic device. This was a Caring for the Kenai project initiated by KCHS student Riley Graves. Approximately 1,350 lbs of nails were removed.  Coordinated beach clean-up activities with KCHS Ski Team and Walmart employees.  Provided waste management and restroom cleaning services to beach areas, including the dock facility.  Provided two temporary support personnel (Beach Aids) to assist with enforcement duties on the North and South Beaches.  Modified two beach educational signs to include information about beach cleanliness.  Fielded a variety of phone calls and inquiries related to the fishery.  Coordinated use of shelters at Municipal Park during the fishery when access into park was limited.  A total of 170 hours were spent raking and cleaning the beach, 490 hours assisting with parking/camping enforcement, 78 hours performing waste management (restrooms/trash) duties and 58 hours cleaning up the beach after the fishery. SPECIFIC OBSERVATIONS 1) Approximately 58 wooden posts and chain on the south beach and 23 wooden posts and chain on the north beach were uprooted during an October storm. Posts and chain have been collected for future re-installment. 2) Approximately 1,100 lineal feet of dunes on the eastern end of the north beach remain to be fenced. Some of this is privately owned and so temporary fencing is used during the fishery. 3) “Permit Only” parking signs installed off South Forest Drive coupled with advisory notices (mailings) from the Planning Department appeared to have resolved ongoing issues for this residential area. 4) The Dipnet App continues to evolve with additional pertinent information added, i.e, DEC’s Safe Dip Netting on the Kenai River Beaches and DNR’s Safe Boating Rules of the Road information. It would be beneficial to get the Fee Calculator working accurately. However, this has been a tremendous resource for people and will be exciting to see how this may someday evolve into other City-wide uses. ESTIMATED REMAINING FY19 FUNDING 1) Wages/Benefits Funding remains in the FY19 to cover personnel costs associated with the fishery, including interviewing and hiring, removing sand at the ramps (North Beach) and other administrative functions. 2) Operating Supplies It is estimated $3,800 will be spent on miscellaneous signs, janitorial supplies, t-posts and temporary fencing. 150 Page 3 of 3 2018 Dipnet Report – Parks & Recreation Printing/Binding 3) It is estimated $3,000 will be needed to purchase printer labels, ribbon and door hangers for handling transactions at the fee shacks.

Preserving History The hunt for information about the past has been consuming me for decades. Sometimes it is researching my own family history, and other times it is seeking to learn more about the history of our planet. I had the opportunity this summer to travel up and through the Brooks Range, and learn about the geology of that area and the history of the pipeline. Several months later, I took a trip back to the place I was born, and had not visited for 50 years. I spent much time in museums there and reacquainted myself with some of my childhood. Most of the time, though, the search is about the place I have come to view as my forever home—-the central Kenai Penin- sula. What started out as an interest in getting to know more about where I had moved to has morphed into a consuming passion to learn “and preserve” the history of this area. I ob- sessively read and study books, articles, and pictures to find details of the bigger picture. I never know when I am going to find another piece of the puzzle. November 2018 Newsletter Kenai Historical Society P.O. Box 1348 Kenai, Alaska 99611 153 2 While I’m fascinated with the flat-roofed building next to the dent in the bluff, I may have stumbled on a discovery about the building to the left. Below is an enlarged section of the photo. Study it carefully. 154 3 This is a photo we have in our archives at KHS. It says it is the original store in Kenai, though I think it possible there were others and may have been some before. There is little in this photo to indicate where it was located, until I compared it with the photo and enlarged photo printed on page 2. We have a copy of that first photo in our archives, but Jim Taylor printed it in the website “Growing Up on the Kenai”, and provided the enlarged closeup. That was when I realized that this photo above could be the same building from a different angle. Study the three photos and see what you think. There was a book written by two school teachers who taught in Kenai in the 2nd decade of 1900s—- titled “The Clenched Fist”. I have a xeroxed copy of the book and I have used it several times trying to learn more about some of the people who were in Kenai at the time. I was originally interested in learn- ing more about Bill Dawson, and was reviewing their book when I ran across a reference and some sub- stantial information about “Frency V” (not too much direct mention of Bill Dawson by the ladies). In the book, they describe their arrival in Kenai and their walk from the cannery (where they stayed their first night) to Kenai village. “The log cabins laid out with small semblance of order along the “dirt” streets looked as though they were built along the trail made by a hungry malemute in search of food. As was to be expected, practi- cally every house in the village was made of logs. The most astonishing thing about these cabins, to our unaccustomed eyes, were the slanting flat roofs covered by a phenomenal growth of grass.” [Their guide responded] “The natives put sod on the roofs of their cabins as a protection against the cold and rain… This being a pioneer country, naturally the material at hand is used.” 155 4 “Continuing on our way through the village, we passed two trading posts. In one of these the U.S. Post Office was quartered. Near Ed’s (their guide from the cannery), trading post was a small, attrac- tive frame cottage surrounded by a green plot of grass. Also, it boasted a tennis court. A touch of civi- lization, eh? Here lived the white trader and his wife, just come recently from the Outside. He was in charge of Ed’s trading post. Sauntering along, we soon came to the Federal Building —-a white frame structure enclosed by a picket fence. This was the schoolhouse and living quarters for the teachers. Further up the street we saw the Russian Church and across from the church the priest’s house. “ So, putting information together, here is what I think we might be seeing in the two panoramic shots of Kenai (reputedly taken in 1919, but there is no real confirmation of that date) (Also, there is a third photo that I think was taken at the same time as these two and it shows the Russian Orthodox church and priest’s residence—-I’m not printing it because it isn’t relative to my topic here). The photo above has two buildings that I think could be trading posts or general stores. The one at the right -side of the photo and upriver of that the other building that appears to have a false front. Nothing says that false fronts belong only to stores, but that may have been the fashion of that time. The size of the buildings also suggests storage capacity. All this brings me back to wondering about the large white two -story flat-roofed building. That is a rather large building and I have wondered if that were the “Federal Building” the ladies refer to as containing the schoolhouse and living quarters. Looking at the closeup, the building seems to have an addition to the east side, of a style that is inconsistent with the square shape of the building. Have no idea if it was part of the original building or was added later. Could it be the “training and domes- tic science room that they describe in their book? 156 5 “Exploring the Federal Building, we found that the front part of the building contained our living quarters. The kitchen and living room were downstairs, two bedrooms were upstairs. We discovered that the place had to be lighted with kerosene lamps, but that was a small inconvenience compared with the fact that there was no bathroom. When winter came, this was to become even more unbear- able. The former occupants were evidently in a hurry to get away, as discarded clothing littered the floor. The living room walls were covered by oilcloth adorned by big red apples surpassing anything in size and color ever seen in nature. Back of our living quarters was a large schoolroom, lighted only on the south side by windows. This as you can readily see, was to keep out the cold north winds. It was headed by a huge oil drum covered into a wood stove which kept the room warm in all kinds of weath- er. The teacher’s desk and the children’s desks were well battered and defaced. The manual training and domestic science room was at the other end of the building. Its equipment consisted of a few tools and saws and a rather dilapidated cook stove. But it is surprising how much can be taught with such poor equipment. THE CLENCHED FIST was written by Alice M. Brooks and Willietta E. Kuppler, the two school- teachers who taught in Kenai in 1911. They were sisters as well, and wrote their book in 1948. “Mr Lopp (Chief of Alaska Bureau of Education, headquartered in Seattle, Washington) was inter- ested at once in my credentials and experience. “Why do you wish to go to Alaska? You have such good credentials. Of course we have a position for you. I wouldn’t hesitate, except for the fact that you are too young. Now, if you had an older sister—-”. “Oh, but I have,” I interrupted him, “she would like to teach in the same school with me.” “Then the position is yours. I have a school in Kenai. I can send you there, “ said Mr. Lopp. Not until later was Mr. Lopp to know “the older sister” was a girl too, in her very early twenties. Then it was too late to make any change. We were destined to spend the three following years of our young lives in somewhat hazardous adventures in the vast and only sparsely settled region so far from the “outside” and home. They traveled from Seattle aboard the S.S. Sampson up the inside passage and eventually arrived in Seward. From there they transferred to a smaller boat—-the Steamer Bertha which carried mail, cargo, and passengers to Seldovia, from which they had to find their own way to Kenai. One of the other passengers on the Bertha was Mr. Sidney Lawrence who was returning to Alaska from a visit to England. They spent days in Seldovia trying to figure out how to get to Kenai, and Mr. Lawrence eventually introduced them to the Captain of a Cannery Boat headed for Kenai. Another person traveling on the same boat , a friend of Mr. Lawrence, was Judge George Kuppler. “Sidney Lawrence and George Kuppler greeted each other like two brothers long parted. We saw they were good friends. “ “After hearing Judge Kuppler speak it was impossible not to be impressed by his quiet tones and cul- tured voice. With a look of admiration in his amber-brown eyes, nevertheless, he looked at us ap- praisingly, but with approval. You could not help but admire his perfect white teeth when he smiled at you. Little then did I dream I was looking into the eyes of the man I was to marry in a year’s time. Though at that moment I could not read this thoughts, he told me some time later that he said to him- self, “That’s the girl I am going to marry.” Although no though t of marriage entered my mind then, still I was sure, “Here is a man you can trust.” 157 KENAI HISTORIC SOCIETY Our Organization There has been a Historic Society since the days before Kenai becom- ing a city. The Society was formed a few years before Statehood in 1959, and then went inactive in the early 60’s. It restarted in the latter part of the 60’s and has met regularly since. The Society had a museum in Fort Kenay for some years, and then continued to meet after that closed. The non-profit Society implemented and operates the Kenai Historic Cabins Park, open for tours in the summer months. We have office space at the Moosemeat John cabin, but are not open to the public in that building. Our member meetings are Sept., Nov., Dec., Jan., Feb., Mar., and April at the Kenai Visitor Center. For Oct. and May, we meet with the Kenai Peninsula Historical Association. Please check the Meet- ings and Announcements section on this page for date information.

Frates, Parks & Recreation Director DATE: September 4, 2018 RE: Field of Flowers Signage Purpose of this memorandum is to inform you that the Airport Commission has been working on an attractive sign to be installed on airport property, commonly referred to as the Field of Flowers. The Kenai City Council has requested the Beautification Committee review the sign and provide comment before a final determination on the sign is made. The purpose of the sign is to display a cooperative effort between the Kenai Airport and the City of Kenai. The sign would be 4'xg' (printed on both sides) and mounted to 4x4 treated posts. The proposed location for the sign is on the Kenai Spur Highway side facing the highway. Attachments Page 7 of 75 KENAI BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 11, 2018-6:00 P.M.

Action/Approval — Field of Flowers Signage The Parks and Recreation Director referred to the memorandum in the packet, noting the City Council request for the Beautification Committee to weigh in on the proposed sign for the Field of Flowers. It was noted the Airport Commission had been working on this project for about a year and that the Commission Chair was in the audience to answer any questions. Discussion points centered on type, size, and overall design with concerns that the sign not detract from the overall "organic" experience of the Wildflower Gardens, and that the sign was readable from a distance. It was also expressed that the sign should be similar to other wooden (cedar) signs throughout the city with raised lettering. Examples of similar signs for uniformity Page 9 of 22 were noted, including Airport Triangle, Steve Shearer Memorial Ball Park, and Old Town Cabins. It was clarified that some of these types of signs were designated park properties while the Field of Flowers was Airport Lands and not a park. It was explained that City Council had similar discussions regarding the design of the sign and was seeking input by the Beautification Committee for recommendations, including accepting the current design, no action recommended or suggesting specific changes. MOTION: Commissioner Reed MOVED to recommend the sign as presented and have the "Field of Flowers' lettering raised; Commissioner Madrid SECONDED the motion. MOTION TO AMEND: Commissioner Madrid MOVED to amend by recommending lightening the background and have the raised lettering in white; Commissioner Wilson SECONDED the motion.

This matter was discussed at their September 11, 2018 meeting. Most of the discussion focused on the size, shape, color and purpose of the sign. In general, the committee leaned more favorable toward a wood sign with raised letters. Keeping with the overall size and shape of the originally proposed sign, the beautification's recommendation was to lighten the background and incorporate raised, white letters. Attached for your review is a new design based their recommendation and a cost estimate. Page 7 of 22 KENAI AIRPORT COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 11, 2018 — 6:00 P.M.

FEMA’s federal mandate to communicate flood risk •Conducts hydraulic and hydrologic study •Produces reports and maps to illustrate areas of flood hazard What do the maps tell us about the floodplain in our community? The term “mapped floodplain” refers to the areas inundated during the Base Flood Event, also known as the 100-year flood or the 1% annual chance flood. 1.EXTENT: Where will the water go during a base flood event? 2.DEPTH: How high will the water be in a base flood event (known as the base flood elevation)? Actual FEMA map panel for the mouth of the Kenai River. These are available online on FEMA’s Map Service Center and on file at the River Center. KPB has put them in a format in GIS that is much easier to read. Red = riverine flooding during the base flood event Green = coastal high hazard area affected by storm surge in the base flood event Violet = sheet flow flooding hazard during base flood event Blue = minimal flood risk Brown = undetermined flood risk Floodplain Determination Maps for specific properties anywhere on the peninsula can be requested at www.kenairivercenter.org How do communities use these maps to guide development in the floodplain? The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is a voluntary cooperative relationship between FEMA and local communities. Community Responsibilities •Adopt a floodplain management ordinance •Adopt flood maps as regulatory tools •Enforce community ordinance FEMA Responsibilities •Provide detailed information on flood risk (maps, etc.) •Provide technical support to communities in understanding flood risk and evaluating project proposals •Provide regulatory support to communities in the administration and enforcement of their ordinances Why would a community volunteer to participate in the NFIP? •Flood Insurance availability •Availability of federal grants, loans and federal disaster relief loans •Availability of Hazard Mitigation Assistance (non-disaster mitigation grants), Hazard Mitigation Grant Program and Pre-Disaster Mitigation Program What kinds of general standards are required in a community floodplain ordinance? •Most kinds of development require a floodplain development permit. •First finished floors must be at or above the base flood elevation. •Structures must be adequately anchored to prevent buoyancy and lateral movement in a flood. •Enclosed areas below the base flood elevation must be floodproofed or vented.
