RATES, ANIMAL CONTROL FEES, ADJUSTING THE MONTHLY RENTAL RATES AT
VINTAGE POINTE , INCREASING WATER/SEWER RATES, AND AMBULANCE FEES , AND
IMPLEMENTING A NEW LIBRARY FEE, AND INCREASING SENIOR CENTER RENTAL FEES .
WHEREAS , the Administration has determined the rental rates for non-signatory apron space on
the Kenai Airport are s ignificantly undervalued taking into account land values , construction cost
of improvements, and maintenance costs; and,
WHEREAS, undervalued rental rates for apron space is a significant deterrent to development of
airport lease lots; and,
WHEREAS, the proposed increase is part of the administration's six year plan to increase non-
signatory airline apron rental rates to market value with FY20 being the fifth year of this plan; and ,
WHEREAS, the proposed increase to Airport Reserve Land Annual Lease Rates is
commensurate with the 2018 annual change in Consumer Price Index for Anchorage; and;
WHEREAS, the yearly animal control shelter's rabies clinic has seen an increase in attendance
to include a significant number of animals from outside the City; and,
WHEREAS, a $5.00 fee per animal vaccinated at the clinic would cover the cost of the vaccination ,
rabies tag and syringes needed to give each vaccination; and ,
WHEREAS, below market monthly rental rates at Vintage Pointe, the City's senior housing facility ,
are budgeted to increase in FY2020 in an effort to bring the rental rates closer to market rate rents
as determined by t he 2015 market rent study by Derry and Associates; and,
WHEREAS, units with market rate rents will increase by the Anchorage Consumer Price Index,
second half over second half for 2018 and units with rents below market rates will increase to
market rate or a maximum of $35.00 over FY2019 rates ; and ,
WHEREAS , charging market rates will assist in providing adequate funds for ongoing and long-
term maintenance of the facility; and ,
WHEREAS, a new rental rate study will be commissioned in FY2020 to ensure rental rates are in
line with market rates for similar facilities ; and ,

WHEREAS, in 2011 the City commissioned a Water and Sewer Rate Study to study the City 's
water & sewer rate structure and to determine and recommend any changes to that structure to
ensure the utility can continue to operate and provide t he necessary funding to maintain its
infrastructure; and,
WHEREAS, the Water and Sewer Rate Study recommended annual increases in water and sewer
rates to provide funding for infrastructure maintenance and expansion and to ensure the financial
stability of the fund ; and,
WHEREAS , the FY2020 increase to water and sewer rates is proposed to be 4 .00%, the 2018
change in Anchorage 's Consumer Price Index second half over second half; and ,
WHEREAS, Ambulance Fees are proposed to increase to rates commensurate with the
Medicare/Medicaid and the average rate of other agencies in Alaska; and,
WHEREAS , implementing a new rate for emergency responses where patients are treated on-
scene and either do not require or refuse transport for additional care will help cover fire
department costs for these serv ices; and,
WHEREAS, a new fee is proposed at the Library as there is an increasing number of holds place
by cardholders that travel to us from other libraries, incurring postage and packaging costs; and,
WHEREAS, a large number of these items are not being picked up by the requester; and,
WHEREAS, the proposed fee of $1 .00 for items requested and not picked up will help recoup the
cost of the postage of these items sent over by other libraries; and ,
WHEREAS , the Senior Center relies on facility rental fees as a source of revenue and with the
increased amount of community rental options it is imperative it stay competitive and accurately
reflect what the facility has to offer through the rental rates; and,
WHEREAS, the proposed increase in rates is $170 for rental of the kitchen and the dining room,
while also giving viable options for one, two, or three-day rentals; and,
WHEREAS, the increase in the security deposit for facility rentals gives more leverage to insure
any damage will be fully covered .

Resolution No. 2019-34-Ambulance Rate Adjustment
In preparation for the FY20 budget the department took a serious look at all sources of
expenditures and revenues generated by the department. One item that the department looked
at was our ambulance billing rates. Subsequently we discovered that the Kenai Peninsula
Borough was simultaneously looking at their rate structure.
Two real factors drove both agencies to reexamine their rates. First, the cost to provide EMS
services has increased with rising fuel costs and costs for supplies. The second factor was there
are transport rates that we are charging that are less than the reimbursable rates for
Medicare/Medicaid.
The department looked at our current rates and compared them to the reimbursement rates for
Medicare/Medicaid and the statewide averages for similar services to develop our proposed rate
increases.
Currently, the department is charging less than the allowable Medicare reimbursable amounts for
ALS2 calls, current fee $800 .00 and FY19 Medicare rate of $863.78 and for mileage, current fee
$11 .00 per mile verse FY19 Medicare rate of $11.43 per mile .
The department is currently also not charging for non-transport EMS responses. These calls
involve the department responding to a patient, evaluating the patient, and either determining the
patient does not need transport, alternate transport would be appropriate (family members car),
or the patient refuses treatment even after EMS recommends transport.
At a minimum EMS will obtain basic vital signs, sometimes perform a 4 or 12 lead ECG and
sometimes in the case of a diabetic patient starting an IV, determining blood glucose levels, and
giving 050 (intravenous glucose) and then the patient still refuses transport .

Ambulance Rate Adjustment
Private insurers will pay for non-transports, Medicaid will pay $233.97 . On February 13th, 2019,
Medicare announced that reimbursement will be available for certain non-transport ambulance
services and for ambulance transports to alternate destinations. A rate for reimbursement has
not yet been published. Both of these Medicare changes have the potential to have a significant
impact on our billable charges. EMS has not transported to alternative care facilities such as the
Doctors office or a free standing clinic due to our inability to charge for those transports. We will
have to evaluate the new changes when they are published to see how much of a potential impact
they will have to our service.
As stated earlier the Kenai Peninsula Borough is currently working on the same rate increases to
be on par with our proposal. We have met with Borough Staff and they will be submitting these
changes to their fees.
Using the revenue projection for 2019 with 2019 Medicare/Medicaid allowables and fees and
based on the actual transport for FY18 the revenue projection would change from $479,307.11 to
$502, 155.41 or an increase of $22,848.30. Again, this does not take into effect the new Medicare
rates.
Statewide there are other models for billing, with some areas charging a flat rate for all calls. The
Fairbanks North Star Borough charges a flat rate of $1,000 for all transport calls and the
Municipality of Anchorage and others charge different rates for residents versus non-residents.
Anchorage charges for BLS calls $800 for residents $900 for non-residents and for ALS call $950
for residents and $1050 for non-residents.
This proposed rate structure is based on the current structure that the City of Kenai and the KPB
use. This does not take into consideration GEMT reimbursements, which are on track to be in
effect July 1, 2019.

Resolution No. 2019-34
This Memo is in reference to the proposed increase in Senior Center Rental Fees for FY2020.
The Senior Center rel ies on rental fees to equitably compensate the Center for the use of its
facilities. With the increased amount of community rental options it is imperative we stay
competitive and have rates that accurately reflect what our facility has to offer.
The proposed increase in rates is $170 for rental of the kitchen and the dining room, while also
giving viable options for one, two, or three-day rentals . The increase in the security deposit gives
more leverage to insure any damage would be fully covered .
Thank you for your consideration.

Fee for Postage
We are seeing an increasing number of holds placed by cardholders that travel to us from other
libraries incurring postage and packaging costs. While this is a cost of doing business , we are
also seeing a large number of items that are not picked up by the requestor. This costs both us
and the lending library in postage and/or delivery.
The Alaska Library Catalog assumes a cost per item for shipping at $1 per item . We would like to
assess that amount per item that is requested , but never picked up to at least cover the
postage/delivery costs . The change would be advertised extensively to our cardholders.

Resolution No. 2019-34-Animal Control Fee Change
This memo supports a change to the current fee schedule in regards to animal control fees. In
order to cover the cost of the rabies vaccination offered at the yearly rabies clinic , which has
increased in participation over the years , a $5.00 fee per animal vacc inated at the clinic would
be appropriate. The increased fee will cover the cost of the vacc ination , rabies tag and syringe
needed to give the vaccination.
Thank you for your consideration.
