Bryr Harris provided information on floodplain mapping, mapped flood risk, and an introduction to community floodplain management in partnership with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. 2. Joy Merriner, BDO Inc. – Presentation of the FY18 City of Kenai Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. Joy Merriner, partner with BDO Inc., reported their firm audited the City’s finances and issued a clean, unmodified opinion which was the best possible. She noted a statement was issued regarding pension liabilities which was a change in the generally accepted accounting practice and not an error on the part of the City. She pointed out there was nothing to report with internal controls and the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report was prepared by City staff which saved the City money and was a testament to the City’s policies and its staff. It was further noted that the capital investment outlay had decreased and was something to keep an eye on with depreciating assets; standards will be changing in the next few years in the reporting of leases, which will require assets and liabilities reported for all leases rather than just the income. 3.

ADJOURNMENT There being no further business before the Commission, the meeting was adjourned at 7:46 p.m. Minutes prepared and submitted by: ____________________________ Jacquelyn LaPlante Deputy City Clerk 95 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager FROM: Stormy Brown, Human Resources Director DATE: December 12, 2018 SUBJECT: Police Compensation Study During the last year, the Alaska Department of Public Safety has taken specific steps to attract and retain law enforcement officers within the Troopers’ organization. The efforts have included addressing salary and assignment requirements, and reviewing benefit options. The ability for the Kenai Police Department to recruit and retain Police Officers will be impacted by these recent actions taken by the State. To ensure that the City remains competitive in the market, we believe this is an important time for the City to review its current compensation package for this specific audience. Therefore, the City of Kenai has arranged to partner (and share costs) with the City of Soldotna in a joint compensation study specific to law enforcement. Both cities worked together to select a consultant for the study, and the City’s portion of the cost for this work will be $4,999. The project will commence in the coming weeks and will continue into the early spring. 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 PURCHASE ORDERS BETWEEN $2,500.00 AND $15,000.00 FOR COUNCIL REVIEW COUNCIL MEETING OF: DECEMBER 19, 2018 VENDOR DESCRIPTION DEPT.

N J N N N O N O �I Why We Ask The 2020 Census is easy. The questions are simple. The census asks questions that provide a snapshot of the nation. Census results affect your voice in government, how much funding your community receives, and how your community plans for the future. When you fill out the census, you help: • Determine how many seats your state gets in Congress. • Guide how more than $675 billion in federal funding is distributed to states and communities each year. • Create jobs, provide housing, prepare for emergencies, and build schools, roads and hospitals. Population Count (Number of People Living or Staying) We ask this question to collect an accurate count of the number of people at each address on Census Day, April 1, 2020. Each decade, census results determine how many seats your state gets in Congress. State and local officials use census counts to draw boundaries for districts like congressional districts, state legislative districts and school districts. Any Additional People Living or Staying Our goal is to count people once, only once and in the right place according to where they live on Census Day. Keeping this goal in mind, we ask this question to ensure that everyone living at an address is counted. Owner/Renter We ask about whether a home is owned or rented to create statistics about homeownership and renters. Homeownership rates serve as an indicator of the nation's economy and help in administering housing programs and informing planning decisions. Phone Number We ask for a phone number in case we need to contact you. We will never share your number and will only contact you if needed for official Census Bureau business. Name We ask for names to ensure everyone in the house is counted. Listing the name of each person in the household helps respondents include all members, particularly in large households where a respondent may forget who was counted and who was not. United States`" U.S. Department of Commerce Census Economics and Statistics Administration U.S. CENSUS BUREAU Bureau census.gov I A • 0. Sex We ask about the sex of each person to create statistics about males and females. Census data about sex are used in planning and funding government programs, and in evaluating other government programs and policies to ensure they fairly and equitably serve the needs of males and females. These statistics are also used to enforce laws, regulations and policies against discrimination in government programs and in society. Age and Date of Birth We ask about age and date of birth to understand the size and characteristics of different age groups and to present other data by age. Local, state, tribal and federal agencies use age data to plan and fund government programs that provide assistance or services for specific age groups, such as children, working -age adults, women of childbearing age, or the older population. These statistics also help enforce laws, regulations and policies against age discrimination in government programs and in society. Hispanic, Latino or Spanish Origin We ask about whether a person is of Hispanic, Latino or Spanish origin to create statistics about this ethnic group. The data collected in this question are needed by federal agencies to monitor compliance with anti -discrimination provisions, such as under the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act. Race We ask about a person's race to create statistics about race and to present other statistics by race groups. The data collected in this question are needed by federal agencies to monitor compliance with anti -discrimination provisions, such as under the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act. State governments use the data to determine congressional, state and local voting districts. Whether a Person Lives or Stays Somewhere Else Our goal is to count people once, only once and in the right place according to where they live on Census Day. Keeping this goal in mind, we ask this question to ensure individuals are not included at multiple addresses. Relationship We ask about the relationship of each person in a household to one central person to create estimates about families, households and other groups. Relationship data are used in planning and funding government programs that provide funds or services for families, people living or raising children alone, grandparents living with grandchildren, or other households that qualify for additional assistance. Citizenship A question about a person's citizenship is used to create statistics about citizen and noncitizen populations. These statistics are essential for enforcing the Voting Rights Act and its protections against voting discrimination. Knowing how many people reside in the community and how many of those people are citizens, in combination with other information, provides the statistical information that helps the government enforce Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and its protections against discrimination in voting.

Counting Young Children in the 2020 Census Counting everyone once, only once, and in the right place An estimated 5 percent of kids under the age of 5 weren't counted in the 2010 Census. That's about 1 million young children, the highest of any age group. We need your help closing this gap in the 2020 Census. Here's what our research tells us about why young children are missed and what you can do to help make sure they are counted. n The child splits time between two homes. The child lives or stays with another family or with another relative such as a grandparent. The child lives in a lower income household. • The child lives in a household with young parents or a young, single mom. • The child is a newborn. United States® Census Bureau • Emphasize that the census counts everyone where they live and sleep most of the time, even if the living arrangement is temporary or the parents of the child do not live there. • If the child truly spends equal amounts of time between two homes, count them where they stayed on Census Day, April 1. Coordinate with the other parent or caregiver, if possible, so the child is not counted at both homes. • If it's not clear where the child lives or sleeps most of the time, count them where they stayed on Census Day, April 1. Explain to service providers and families that responding to the census helps determine $675 billion in local funding for programs such as food stamps (also called the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program or SNAP), the National School Lunch Program, and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). When children are missed in the census, these programs miss out on funding that is based on the number of children counted. • Explain that filling out the census yourself, on your own schedule, is easier than having to respond when a census worker knocks on your door. Remind these households that the form should only take about 10 minutes to fill out and can be done online or over the phone, in addition to mailing it back. • Encourage moms with young children to ask other household members to count them and their children on the form if others live in the household. Emphasize that parents should include babies on census forms, even if they are still in the hospital on April 1. Encourage facilities providing services to newborns to remind parents about the importance of counting their children on the census form. Highlight the fact that the census form only takes about 10 minutes to complete, and parents can fill it out online or over the phone in addition to paper at a time that works best for them.

The per capita figure allows cross -state comparisons of fiscal reliance on census -guided programs. It does not indicate the amount by which federal funding increases for each additional person counted. (See The Leadership Conference Education Fund, "Counting for Dollars: Why It Matters.") Definitions: • Census -derived statistics —federal datasets that are extensions of or otherwise rely on the Decennial Census (list available on proiect website) • Census -guided financial assistance programs — programs that rely on Census -derived statistics to determine program eligibility and/or allocate funds to states and localities • Per capita —total FY2015 obligations for the 16 programs divided by population as of July 1, 2015 (per the Census Bureau) Abbreviations: • CFDA — Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance • USDA — U.S. Department of Agriculture • ED — U.S. Department of Education • HHS — U.S. Department of Health and Human Services • HUD — U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development • DOT — U.S. Department of Transportation Sources: • USAspending.gov (20.050, 84.010, 84.027, 93.224/93.527, 93.568, 93.600, 93.778) • President's Budget Request for FY2017 or program agency (10.511, 10.555, 10.557, 14.871, 93.596, 93.658, 93.767) • Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (14.195) • Centers for Medicare & Medicaid, HHS (Physicians Fee Schedule Services of 93.774) Prepared by Andrew Reamer, Research Professor, GWIPP, with data analysis provided by Sean Moulton, Open Government Program Manager, Project on Government Oversight (POGO) August 18, 2017 . � . . 9 \ j f_ / / /z 9 % 2 2 }\\ o n \ )5 {&_ 0 >n§ (D � o4z ° _0\ } S (A (* ® \ } (D \ \ 0 0 0 0 W.4 � ■ \ / \ 0 \\\0 0 is >+ U i C -C U c E (6 L U In O N T -O N p VI ON v c i a 0C -o r0 i s c o> Z 00 N C O "p 7 N ro N yj d'O ++ CO +L, C a)f 7 N E L E C E N 1 a-oC N Z E M N N +.+ UU Y aN U 4 N N L O O._ a+ L Y o o c w a ( W U o U N Y O E> L p> c Z a N N C N -O O N O) D i V J 7 U 7 C '� N C E N ,>', y O N N 0 U YO N 0m N C N 7 N L aL, r0 C N d ro N N p C in O N.
