AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA,
AMENDING KMC 22 ON CERTAIN PROCEDURES FOR THE SALE OF CITY -OWNED
LANDS BY DELETING PREFEP.ENCES.
WHEREAS, the City of Kenai, pursuant to KMC 22.05.040(b)(6)
currently allows an applicant to have a preference in lane sales
conducted by sealed bid which allows the applicant to match the
highest bid, and
WHEREAS, such preference has an adverse affect on competitive
bidding by discouraging potential bidders who do not have
applicant status and lack the preference, and
WHEREAS, it is the policy of the City Council to receive the
highest possible bid price for City -owned lands sold through
competitive bidding and to encourage the greatest number of
bidders, and
WHEREAS, elimination of the preference in competitive bidding
would give all interested persons equal opportunity to purchase
City -owned land thereby increasing the potential number of
bidders.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
KENAI, ALASKA, that:
Section 1: KMC 22.05.040 is hereby amended to delete (b)(6)

FIVE DAYS OF THE DID OPENING. IF THE LAND SALE IS INITIATED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH KMC 21.10.060(a), THE APPLICANT SHALL BE
DEFINED AS THAT PART SUBMITTING THE INITIAL LEASE APPLICATION.]
