Ordinance No. 3079 -2019
The Alaska Regional Fire Training Facility located at 450 Daubenspeck Circle was originally
constructed approximately 20 years ago. Throughout the last fiscal year, Public Works and
Airport Staff have been coordinating with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to develop a
project to rehabilitate the facility. These types of facilities are becoming fewer and far between
nationwide, and the FAA has expressed good interest and intentions in seeing the Facility fully
operational.
Morrison-Maierle Engineering Consultants are the firm that designed the facility originally. This
spring they were the successful proposer on providing professional services for the rehabilitation.
In June 2019 a Facility Assessment Report was provided, identifying all of the areas within the
facility in need of improvement.
The grant is anticipated to cover three areas of improvement including : the purchase of two new
ARFF Vehicles, Rehabilitation of Training Equipment & Props, Rehabilitation of Training Building .
On July 31, 2019 the City was provided Construction Bid Documents, and a formal Invitation to
Bid was released on August 1, 2019 with bids due on August 29 , 2019 . The Public Works
Department anticipates accepting a grant from the FAA in September 2019, with a Notice to
Proceed projected for October 1, 2019 with Project completions before June 30, 2020. The ARFF
Vehicles may take as long as a year to arrive from the time they are ordered.
Completion of this project is a great opportunity for the community, it will restore a City asset, and
allow for continued and improved operations at the facility.
Council's approval is respectfully requested .

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Terry Eubank, Finance Director
DATE: September 20, 2019
SUBJECT: Request to amend previously adopted legislation Ordinance 3079-2019.
____________________________________________________________________________
The purpose of this memo is to respectfully request amendment to previously adopted legislation,
Ordinance 3079-2019. Ordinance 3079-2019 was adopted on September 18, 2019 and provided
for acceptance of a grant from the Federal Aviation Administration and appropriation of funds for
the purchase of aircraft rescue fire fighting vehicles for, rehabilitation of fire training props at, and
rehabilitation of the training facility of the Alaska Regional Fire Training Center. After adoption of
the ordinance it was determined that a portion of the required local match should have been
provided from fund balance committed in the Airport Special Revenue Fund for major
maintenance of the facility. This committed fund balance is the result of a $10.00 per student
facility maintenance fee which was established in 2008 and has resulted in $136,328 in funds
committed to major maintenance of the facility.
In addition to the omission of utilizing committed fund balance, the capital project fund
appropriation section of the Ordinance, Section 3, was out of balance by $353,000. The revenue
portion contained the correct amount of required local match and grant funds but $353,000 for
construction administration services by Morrison-Mairle, Inc was not included in the appropriation
amount for rehabilitation of the fire training props and the facility.
To rectify these issues, the following four amendments are respectfully requested:
Amendment #1 - Before the final WHEREAS insert the following new WHEREAS:
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Alaska Fire Training Center Facility Management Agreement, which
was entered into in March 2008, a $10.00 facility maintenance fee has been charged to each
student for major maintenance on the facility and through June 30, 2019 total fees available in
committed fund balance are $136,328; and,

of assigned fund balance, are available in the Airport Special Revenue Fund to provide the
additional $168,735 of local match and $300,000 of project contingency funding which may
become eligible for grant reimbursement as change orders are processed.

Amendment #4 – Further amend Section to by inserting -
Appropriation of:
Assigned Fund Balance $332,407.00

$468,735.00

Amend $2,168,000.00, $2,113,755.00 and $5,866,755.00 to $2,344,500, $2,290,255 and
$6,219,755 respectively.
Your support for these amendments to previously adopted Ordinance 3079-2019 is appreciated.
