CITY OF KENAI
ORDINANCE NO. 3056-2019
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, AMENDING KENAI
MUNICIPAL CODE 14.22.010-LAND USE TABLE, TO ALLOW BUSINESS/ CONSUMER
SERVICES AND TAXIDERMY/GUNSMITHING IN RR1 ZONING DISTRICT BY CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT AND REMOVING THE LOCATION RESTRICTION ON PROFESSIONAL
OFFICES ALLOWED BY CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT WITHIN THE RR1 ZONE.
WHEREAS, Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.080 provides that the RR Zone, including the RR1 Zone
is intended to provide for low density residential development in outlying and rural areas in a form
which creates a stable and attractive residential environment separating residential structures to
preserve the rural, open quality of the environment preventing health hazards in areas not served
by public water and sewer and prohibit uses that would violate the residential character of the
environment and generate heavy traffic in predominantly residential areas; and,
WHEREAS, the main distinction of the RR1 Zone as differentiated from the RR Zone, is prohibiting
multifamily dwellings beyond a four-family dwelling and only allowing four-family dwellings by
conditional use; and,
WHEREAS, the purpose of conditional uses is to recognize that some uses may be compatible
with designated principal uses in specific zoning districts provided certain conditions are met,
intended to assure the proposed use is compatible with the surroundings; and,
WHEREAS, currently, the RR1 Zone allows four-family dwellings, limited marijuana cultivation
facilities, professional offices, many public and institutional uses, bed and breakfasts, day care
centers and surface extraction of natural resources, many with proximity limitations to the Kenai
Spur Highway; and,
WHEREAS, ‘business and consumer services’ is defined in KMC 14.20.320 as the provision of
services to others on a fee or contract basis, such as advertising and mailing; building
maintenance; employment service; management and consulting services; protective services;
equipment rental and leasing; commercial research; development and testing; photo finishing;
and personal supply services; and,
WHEREAS, Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.320 defines ‘gunsmith’ a person who repairs, modifies,
designs, or builds firearms; and,
WHEREAS, Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.320 defines ‘taxidermy’ as the act of mounting or
reproducing dead animals, fish, and/or birds for display; and,
WHEREAS, Kenai Municipal Code 14.20.320 defines “profession” as an occupation or calling
requiring the practice of a learned art through specialized knowledge based on a degree issued
5
Ordinance 3056-2019

New Text Underlined; [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED]
by an institution of high learning, e.g., Doctor of Medicine, and “office” as a room or group of
rooms used for conducting the affairs of a business, profession, service, industry, or government;
and,
WHEREAS, many business and consumer services, professional offices, gunsmithing, and
taxidermy business can be run out of single family dwellings with negligible traffic and impact on
surrounding properties; and,
WHEREAS, many business and consumer services, professional offices, gunsmithing and
taxidermy are compatible with the residential character and location of the RR1 zones and should
be allowed through a conditional use permit; and,
WHEREAS, removing the restrictions on the location of professional offices by conditional use
within the RR1 zone will allow more opportunity for the location of low impact businesses within
the RR1 zone; and,
WHEREAS, Kenai Municipal Code 14.05.010 states the City of Kenai Planning and Zoning
Commission will act in an advisory capacity to the Kenai City Council regarding the Kenai Zoning
Code; and,
WHEREAS, on , the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on PZ
Resolution No. and recommended the City Council this Ordinance.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA,
as follows:
Section 1. Amendment of Section 14.22.010 of the Kenai Municipal Code: That Kenai
Municipal Code, Section __14.22.010- Land Use Table, is hereby amended as follows:

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
FROM: Council Members Jim Glendening and Robert Peterkin
DATE: February 28, 2019
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3056-2019 – Amending Kenai Municipal Code 14.22.010-
Land Use Table
____________________________________________________________________________
The intent of this Ordinance is to conditionally allow for low impact compatible uses in the RR1
Zoning Districts, specifically business and consumer services, gunsmith and taxidermies, and
expand the location options for professional offices within the zone. These uses generally have
low traffic flow and would allow for expanded business opportunities without disrupting the
character and nature of the RR1 zones. Any exceptions for business plans that would have a high
traffic volume or impact on the neighborhoods can be excluded through the conditional use
permitting process.
The City has very recently had two inquiries from individuals wanting to start businesses in the
RR1 zone. One was a resident wishing to do gunsmithing from his home, and another wanting to
locate a new professional office in the RR1 zone.
The proposed change to the Land Use Table needs to be considered by the Planning and Zoning
Commission, and it is requested that, after introduction, this Ordinance be referred by Council to
the Planning and Zoning Commission for consideration and a recommendation. A public hearing
at the Council level will need to be postponed until after the Planning and Zoning Commission
has made a recommendation.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: David Ross, Police Chief
DATE: March 11, 2019
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3057-2019 accepting and appropriating a grant from the
State of Alaska Department of Public Safety to purchase portable radios
and DARE supplies.
______________________________________________________________________
The State of Alaska Department of Public Safety (DPS) was allotted funds for “Crime Prevention
and Response and Equipment” during the last legislative session. DPS solicited from law
enforcement agencies Statewide for local requests for the use of those funds.
The Police Department submitted several requests to utilize those funds and two of those
requests were approved:
1. P-25 compliant portable radios and accessories - $100,000
2. Supplies to support the DARE program in local schools - $8000
The portable radios currently in use are nearing the end of their maintenance life, and this grant,
in addition to some previous grant funds, will complete the replacement of all those portable radios
in the police department.
The supplies used in the teaching of the DARE program (i.e. DARE books, water bottles, t-shirts,
etc.) have long been funded with the support of local donations and industry partners. This
infusion of supplies, along with continued local support will be invaluable to continuing this
program in the local elementary schools.
I am respectfully requesting consideration of the ordinance accepting and appropriating those
grant funds for the purposes they were intended.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Terry Eubank, Finance Director
DATE: March 13, 2019
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3058-2019 – Proposed Amendment to the Authorized
Investments and Distribution Methodology for the City’s Permanent
Funds.
____________________________________________________________________________
The purpose of this memo is to recommend passage of ordinance 3058-2019. Ordinance 3058-
2019 will codify recommended changes to the allowable investments of the City’s General Fund
Land Sale and Airport Land Sale Permanent Funds and the distribution methodology for each of
these funds. A brief explanation of the recommended amendment for the applicable sections of
the Kenai Municipal Code (KMC) has been provided for your consideration.
7.22.010 Scope and objectives.
The requested amendment to KMC 7.22.010(a) should be classified as a housekeeping
amendment. The City’s General Land Sale Permanent Fund has been invested in the same
manner as the Airport Land Sale Permanent Fund since April of 2011. This is a change that
should have been made at that time but was overlooked.
7.30.005 General Fund Land Sale Permanent Fund.
The requested amendment to KMC 7.30.005(e) provides the framework for establishment of an
earnings reserve for the General Fund Land Sale Permanent Fund. Pursuant to Kenai Municipal
Charter section 5-11, there is a prohibition on the spending of the proceeds from City-owned, non-
trust lands. The administration proposes establishing an earnings reserve, similar to the Alaska
Permanent Fund Earnings Reserve, where investment earnings on the proceeds from City-
owned, non-trust lands can accumulate and be distributed to the City’s General Fund for use for
any lawful purpose. Distributions from this earnings reserve may occur outside of the year in
which investment earning occur. This is a fundamental change in the distribution methodology
for the General Fund Land Sale Permanent Fund that is expected to provide more consistent
distribution while complying with the requirement to never spend the principle balance received
from the sale of City-owned, non-trust lands.
25
Page 2 of 2
Ordinance No. 3058-2019 – Proposed Amendment to the Authorized Investments and
Distribution Methodology for the City’s Permanent Funds.
7.30.020 Investments.
The requested amendment to KMC 7.30.020(a)(3) codifies additional changes needed to
implement the earnings reserve concept for the General Fund Land Sale Permanent Fund started
with amendments to 7.30.005(e).
The requested amendment to KMC 7.30.020(a)(4)(A) will codify the new distribution methodology
for the Airport Land Sale Permanent Fund as recommended by the City’s investment advisor.
The new distribution methodology changes the annual distribution from five percent (5%) of the
five (5) year average of the fund’s calendar year end market value to four point two percent (4.2%)
if the five (5) year average market value is greater than inflation adjusted principal or three point
eight percent (3.8%) if the five (5) year average market value is less than inflation adjusted
principal. This new distribution methodology is needed to ensure the sustainability of the Airport
Land Sale Permanent Fund because the projections for future returns is less than the estimates
of ten years ago but provides for increased distributions should investment returns exceed
projections. The remaining changes to KMC 7.30.020(a)(4) can be classified as a housekeeping
amendment. The requested changes will eliminate language which was needed in 2008 for the
original implementation of the new Airport Land Sale Permanent Fund investment and distribution
methodology. These section can be eliminated as they are no longer needed or applicable.
The requested changes to KMC 7.30.020(a)(5) will codify the proposed distribution methodology
for the General Fund Land Sale Permanent Fund where the lesser of four percent (4%) of the
funds market value or the earnings reserve balance may be distributed in any one year.
The requested amendment to KMC 7.30.020(b) adds a new subsection nine (9) and ten (10) to
expand the allowable investment to include a new asset class, infrastructure, and provide the
benchmark by which the returns of this asset class will be measured. The City Investment
advisors have recommended the addition of this new asset class to enhance the returns of the
portfolio while increasing the overall risk of the portfolio by a minor amount.
Adoption of these amendments is recommended and will codify the City’s intent to provide for
inflation proofing of its permanent funds, provide for new distribution methodologies for both the
General Fund Land Sale and Airport Land Sale Permanent Funds that are both consistent and
sustainable, will expand the allowable investments to incorporate a new asset class to enhance
returns without significantly increase risk, and will provide housekeeping amendments. Your
support for Ordinance 3058-2019 is respectfully requested.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2019 – 19 A Resolution Supporting the Kenai Peninsula
College
____________________________________________________________________________
As part of his proposed budget, Governor Michael Dunleavy proposed reduced funding for the
University of Alaska, which could result in several campus closures, including a potential closure
of the Kenai Peninsula College Kenai River Campus.
The Kenai Peninsula College is responsible for all postsecondary education within the Kenai
Peninsula Borough with an average of 5,700 students enrolled annually. It is the largest University
of Alaska community campus, offering two-year Associates of Arts and Associates of Applied
Science degrees, as well as Adult Basic Education, courses leading to vocational certificates, and
ongoing educational programs to prepare Alaskans for employment in the oil and gas industries.
Other four-year degree programs are available at KPC via distance delivery through other
University of Alaska campuses.
Over the past three years, the Kenai Peninsula College has continued to work more efficiently
with reductions in staff and increasing revenue by adding additional non-credit workforce
development classes for professionals and educational summer camps for middle and high school
students. The impact of a potential closure of the Kenai River Campus goes beyond displacing
students, faculty and staff. The economic impacts are difficult to measure, but the community
would lose the availability of quality educational opportunities.
Your consideration is appreciated.

RESOLUTION NO. 2019 - 20
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, SUPPORTING THE CONTINUED
OPERATION OF SENTENCED FACILITIES AT WILDWOOD CORRECTIONAL COMPLEX.
WHEREAS, Governor Michael Dunleavy has proposed closing sentenced facilities at the
Wildwood Correctional Complex; and,
WHEREAS, while the Wildwood Correctional Complex lies physically just outside the City of
Kenai, it plays a vital role in our community; and,
WHEREAS, closing the sentenced facilities would eliminate approximately 46 jobs, many held
by City residents, impacting families and potentially forcing residents to relocate; and,
WHEREAS, inmates from the sentenced facilities perform many public services in the
community and are an important part of the labor force in some economic sectors; and,
WHEREAS, services provided to the sentenced facilities support many local businesses; and,
WHEREAS, the Wildwood Correctional Complex is one of the most efficiently run correctional
facilities in the State with a cost of care per inmate based on FY 2018 at $104.21 per prisoner per
day exclusive of shared administrative costs, only behind Goose Creek Correctional facility; and,
WHEREAS, the Wildwood Correctional Complex is supported by many local nonprofit
organizations dedicated to working with prisoners and has other unique programs reducing
recidivism; and,
WHEREAS, the State has not convincingly shown that shipping inmates out of state to privately
run prisons actually saves the State money; and,
WHEREAS, shipping prisoners out of State to private prisons has many unquantified costs such
as travel expenses for prisoners and probation officers, lack of early release leading to longer
periods of incarceration and higher costs, and likely higher rates of recidivism; and,
WHEREAS, rather than closing the sentenced facility, the state should examine where
efficiencies and costs savings can be made to reduce the operational costs of the facility; and,
WHEREAS, keeping the sentenced facilities at Wildwood Correctional Complex is in the best
interest of the City and State.

FROM: Council Member Robert Peterkin
DATE: March 27, 2019
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2019 – 20 A Resolution Supporting the Continued
Operation of Sentenced Facilities at Wildwood Correctional Complex
____________________________________________________________________________
As part of his proposed budget, Governor Michael Dunleavy proposed closing the sentenced
facilities at the Wildwood Correctional Complex. Closure of the sentenced facilities would
negatively impact the City and it is unclear whether there would be actual cost saving to the State
which is the rational provided for the closure.
Closing the sentenced facility would cause the loss of about 46 fulltime positions at the jail. Many
of these employees live in Kenai with their families. The closure would cause economic hardship
and may require residents to relocate for other job opportunities. Additionally several local
businesses provide services to the facility and these businesses would lose that opportunity.
Further, inmates at Wildwood provide needed labor in the City, primarily in the fish processing
industry. Inmates at Wildwood also provide many community services in the City, including
assisting our parks and recreation department with beach cleanup, building park facilities,
beautification projects and other structures, shoveling hydrants, irradiating invasive plants and
also assist at the senior center.
The Governor’s proposal includes shipping inmates out of state as opposed to keeping them at
Wildwood. It is unclear whether this would result in any actual cost savings to the State. Wildwood
has the second lowest inmate cost in Alaska, at $104.21 per inmate per day for CY2019 exclusive
of administrative costs. This factor alone raises the question why Wildwood would be selected as
the facility to close. It is unclear what the cost per day to house inmates out of state at privately
run prisons would be, but these rates must also consider transportation costs for prisoners and
officers and that prison terms are often longer out of state than in state were prisoners have an
opportunity for early release. Further Wildwood has many services provided by various
community organizations, including counseling and work opportunities that reduce recidivism. To
the contrary, prisoners sent out of state and housed with other out of state prisoners often return
to Alaska with less chance of succeeding outside the criminal system then when they left. Rather
32

Resolution 2019-20
than close the sentenced facilities, the State should look at implementing efficiencies and cost
savings within Wildwood and other in-state correctional facilities.
Your consideration is appreciated.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Scott Curtin, Public Works Director
DATE: March 27, 2019
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2019-21 WWTP Blowers Replacement / DO Analyzer
____________________________________________________________________________
The Public Works Department released an Invitation to Bid on February 13, 2019 with bids due
on March 27, 2019 to address the replacement of the 40+ year Aeration Blowers for the Waste
Water Treatment Plant. The Project includes installation of DO (Dissolved Oxygen) Sensors which
will assist in the control of the aeration equipment.
The project bid documents include the replacement of three aeration basin blowers, two digester
blowers, and DO sensing equipment for their operation. The bid documents also included a
deductive alternate, which allows the City to remove the digester blowers from the Project if the
costs were deemed to be too high or to assist with the project falling into budget.
After reviewing the bids it is the recommendation of Public Works to exercise the deductive
alternate option and only award the contract for the replacement of the three aeration basin
blowers and associated DO probes in the amount of $1,035,000.00 to the successful lowest
responsive and responsible Bidder, Peninsula Construction, Inc.
The project falls within our existing budget and will expend the remaining State Grant funds
received for repairs to the Waste Water Treatment Plant. Additionally, approval for a contingency
of $90,000.00 to process change orders is being requested. These funds are also already
available within the existing budget. Total cost of requested project approval including
contingency is $1,125,000.00. As with all Capital Projects Public Works will continue to inform
Council of progress and change orders through Departmental Mid-Month Reports.
Completion of this project is vital for the City to continue to meet our environmental permitting
requirements. Aeration is a critical part of the treatment process and is something that is occurring
24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Replacement of this equipment will allow a tremendous amount
36

Resolution 2019-21 WWTP Blowers Replacement / DO Analyzer
of safety and security for the facility’s operations, as the existing equipment requires constant
maintenance with parts difficult to come by.
Departmental staff and the Administration are in strong support of this project. Council’s
consideration is respectfully requested.

B. SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENTS
1. Craig Thomsen – Cleanup of Valhalla Heights Subdivision
City Manager Ostrander provided an overview of Mr. Thomsen’s concerns and explained
Administration was able to alleviate those concerns noting the Planning department had been
working on code enforcement issues in the area. Efforts specifically included towing two vehicles,
dumpsters for the residents to use, and bringing a boarding house into compliance. He added
that the snow needed to melt for additional code enforcement efforts to take place and the
residents asked for barricades to block streets of an undeveloped subdivision which was bringing
crime to the area.

C. UNSCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENTS
Mark Griffin thanked the City, on behalf of the Morgan’s and the Griffin’s, for the trust in managing
the golf course over the last 30 years. He noted that with the help of Administration, they were
going to be able to replace Dick Morgan Bridge on the golf course, which was the largest capital
improvement project at the golf course; planning a ceremony for mid-August. He added that a
future project is to light the golf course for night use.
Ryan Tunseth noted the Lieutenant Governor signed into law, regulations for an onsite
consumption endorsement, which would be applied to retail stores and, even though he didn’t
intend on applying for one, he suggested that it should be allowed in the City. He added that the
regulations were well crafted and limits consumption quite a bit, regulates requirements for the
area to be used for consumption, and provides an answer for areas with visitors that need a safe
place for consumption.

patients coming by regularly through the week. He clarified the goal is to have a receptionist and
typewriter at the door with surgical/delivery table, lab, and radiology area all included in the cabin.
He added he had been working with medical curators on a national level and hoped that it would
become a museum to be used to educate and intrigue people about medicine practice in the past.
There being no one else wishing to be heard, the public hearing was closed.
Council Members Knackstedt and Peterkin declared that they were members of board of the
Kenai Community Foundation which was a non-profit entity and for which they received no
payment. Mayor Gabriel ruled they did not have a conflict and could participate.
Doctor Hanson and his wife were thanked for their generous donation and involvement in the City.
The tremendous amount of work that went into constructing the cabin and accumulating the

gas property as it does on other property; noted the City should take a stance. It was also noted
municipalities should maintain a strong voice for what the state constitution mandates.
The sponsors were thanked for putting forth the resolution; pointed out that when something
negatively affects the City, the City should come out against it. It was also noted the legislation
shifted the burden to the municipalities which would have to make up the difference somewhere.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Scott Curtin – Public Works Director
DATE: March 28, 2019
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3059-2019
The purpose of this memo is to recommend enactment of Ordinance No. 3059-2019 requesting
an increase to the estimated revenue and appropriations in the Airport Special Revenue and
Improvements Capital Project Fund and authorizing a Professional Services Agreement for the
design of the Alaska Regional Fire Training Facility Rehabilitation Project.
The Alaska Regional Fire Training Facility located at 450 Daubenspeck, is 20+ years old now.
The Facility provides a variety of Safety Training Services and is currently occupied and operated
by Beacon Occupational Health & Safety. Individuals come from all over the state to participate
in training, and the Facility even markets the services provided to organizations outside of Alaska.
Due to the aging equipment and in order to continue to provide a high level of services, the Facility
needs updating and modernizing to its equipment and controls. The City released a formal
Request for Proposals on March 14, 2019 with Proposals Due on April 4, 2019.
Proposals will be reviewed on April 8-9, 2019 to determine a successful proposer. With Council’s
approval of this Ordinance, the City will then enter negotiations for these services, anticipated to
cost between 10-12% of overall Construction Costs of the project; Construction Costs yet to be
determined. Design Phase is expected to take approximately 100 Days with an anticipated
Construction Phase beginning in September 2019.
The City in coordination with the Federal Aviation Administration is anticipating the receipt of a
grant. Staff from both agencies have walked through the facility, the FAA has expressed their
support for the project, and the City is waiting to see whether the project will be funded through
our typical AIP Funds or if FAA Supplemental Funding, which the City applied, for will be granted.
In either case, a grant is expected from one of those two sources.
52

Ordinance No. 3059-2019
Completion of this project will improve a unique City asset; staff and Administration believe
support of this project is in the best interest of the City.
Council’s support and approval is respectfully requested. Thank you for your consideration.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
FROM: Scott Bloom, City Attorney
DATE: March 27, 2019
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3061-2019 An Ordinance to Incorporate Onsite
Consumption of Marijuana at Retail Marijuana Establishments into the
City Of Kenai’s Code of Ordinances
____________________________________________________________________________
Lieutenant Governor Kevin Myer recently signed into law State regulations allowing for onsite
consumption of marijuana at retail marijuana stores. A separate endorsement license for this
activity is required from the State. While there is an opportunity for the City to prohibit onsite
consumption, this Ordinance permits the activity through a conditional use permit process. In
order to accomplish this, the City’s zoning code and land use table are proposed to be amended
to include a definition of an onsite consumption endorsement, clarify that a conditional use permit
separate from a conditional use permit for the retail facility is required, and provide where the
business activity is allowed in the City. These changes can be found on pages 12, 16, 17 and 19.
The State regulations require an applicant to apply with the Marijuana Control Board for an onsite
endorsement, with new application fees of $1000, renewal fees of $600, and license fees of
$2000. Once an endorsement is obtained (and a conditional use permit in Kenai), a retail
marijuana store can sell marijuana and marijuana products, excluding concentrates, to customers
in a consumption area separated from the rest of the store. For consumption, only one gram may
be sold to a person per day, or edible products containing 10 mg or less of THC. Food and
beverages not containing alcohol or marijuana may also be sold at the location. Tobacco cannot
be consumed in consumption areas, and only product purchased at the location can be
consumed. Drunk and intoxicated people are prohibited from entering or remaining onsite.
“Intoxicated” is defined as “intoxicated form the use of a drug or alcohol.” (I recognize this is not
a very informative definition) Consumption areas are required to have smoke free areas for
employees to monitor the consumption area, a ventilation system that eliminates odor, security
measures and procedures for handling unconsumed product. Outdoor consumption areas are
contemplated in the regulations with additional requirements that the activity must be compatible
with surrounding uses, there must be sight obscuring borders, and there is allowance for objection
