5. 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.

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;

enhancement).
BACKGROUND: Department has been actively increasing canopy coverage in
targeted areas throughout town these past eight years. Since 2007, over 70

trees for removal at the Kenai Golf Course.

protection of sensitive beach dunes.
ACTIONS/STRATEGIES:

C. GOAL: Construct Dog Park
BACKGROUND: Growth in dog parks nationwide has exploded, particularly
in larger urban areas. Off-leash areas provide social opportunities for both
the owners and their pet and creates a place for owners to spend quality time
with their canines. A group of volunteers was established in the fall of 2018
and a COK Resolution passed supporting an area of the Daubenspeck Family
Park to be used as a dog park.
OBJECTIVE: Construct a fenced, off-leash area measuring approximately
120’x120’. Amenities to someday include ramps and other agility play
structures.

interested parties for site work and installation.
ESTIMATED COSTS: No upfront initial costs expected
D. GOAL: Provide landscaping to catch basin (back-side of Inlet Woods)
Page 15 of 27
BACKGROUND: Area serves as a catch basin for the Inlet Woods
Subdivision. This area has sometimes been used as a dumping ground and
has been cleaned up of and on by City crews through the years. Property
could be enhanced (turf, benches, tree plantings) and provide better visual
appeal and enhanced use.
OBJECTIVE: Create neighborhood appeal by incorporating a park-like
setting, including benches, tree plantings and turf.
ACTIONS/STRATEGIES:
1. Investigate any future plans for cleaning of residue in catch basin
and/or upgrades to neighborhood drainage system.
ESTIMATED COSTS: Unknown
E. GOAL: Secure parcel in Mommsen Neighborhood for small
neighborhood park.
BACKGROUND: Individual approached the Parks & Recreation Commission
in 2015 about the possibility of creating a small park-like setting for the
neighborhood. This area contains a large neighborhood with many parcels
remaining for sale, many of which are owned by the City. A couple of the
lower priced parcels owned by the City could be retained for a public purpose
and someday developed for a small park setting.
OBJECTIVE: Create neighborhood appeal and provide a greenbelt for
informal recreational play.
ACTIONS/STRATEGIES:
1. No action needed at this time.
ESTIMATED COSTS: Unknown
F. GOAL: Development of an Event Park with Permanent Stage.
BACKGROUND: Resolution 2015-47 was considered and adopted on
August 19, 2015 by the Kenai City Council establishing a subcommittee
(Kenai Outdoor Opportunity Location Subcommittee) to accomplish a
Feasibility Study as it relates to an expanded and/or new park designed to
host current events and anticipated future events. The sub-committee
completed the Feasibility Study and recommended a portion of Millennium
Square be utilized as an event park. Money ($35K) was appropriated for
developing a conceptual design and scope but was deferred by Council
action.
Page 16 of 27
OBJECTIVE: Create an event park with permanent stage to accommodate
current events and future events. Park would include the following
components: stage, vendor areas, spectator area, event area, utilities, and
parking.
ACTIONS/STRATEGIES:
1. No action needed at this time.
ESTIMATED COSTS: Phase I ($238,000 - $400,000), Phase II ($279,000),
Phase III ($200,000 - $550,000), Phase IV ($166,000)
G. GOAL: Construct an indoor turf facility
BACKGROUND: Conceptual designs have been drafted for an indoor turf
facility adjacent to the Kenai Multi-use Facility (MPF). Project would
complement use of the existing MPF and be utilized by local schools and
youth/adult organizations.
OBJECTIVE: Project would construct an indoor turf field to accommodate
and meet the needs of a variety of user groups and general public.
ACTIONS/STRATEGIES:
1. No action needed at this time.
ESTIMATED COSTS: $4,000,000
H. GOAL: Construct a shelter at Daubenspeck Park
BACKGROUND: The original design drawings created by Alaska State
Parks for this area included a shelter.
OBJECTIVE: Provide a shelter near the beach area that could also be
utilized during the winter months as a warming shelter. This area is used
extensively for outdoor skating during the winter.
ACTIONS/STRATEGIES:
1. No action needed at this time.
ESTIMATED COSTS: $60,000
Page 17 of 27
I. GOAL: Convert R-22 refrigeration system to non-ozone-depleting
alternative.
BACKGROUND: Manufacturing of R-22 is being phased out and will no
longer be produced as of the year 2020. There would likely be enough
inventory nationwide to sustain use of current system for several years after
the year 2020, however, costs continually increase substantially. Technology
continues to advance in terms of conversions, however, process is several
years out from perfecting.
OBJECTIVE: Implement safer, more environmentally friendly system that
doesn’t rely on ever-increasing costs of R-22.
ACTIONS/STRATEGIES:
1. No action needed at this time.
ESTIMATED COSTS: Unkown
