AN ORDINANCE. OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA,
REPEALING KMC 1.15,020 AND RE-ENACTING KHC 1.25 TO INCORPORATE
THEREIN THE UNDUPLICATED PROVISIONS OP SAID 1.15.020 AND TO
PROVIDE FOR APPOINTMENT OF AN EMPLOYEE TO CARRY ON THE DUTIES OF
THE. CITY CLERK WHEN THERE IS NO CITY CLERK AVAILABLE.
WHEREAS, the current ordinances provide for appointment of a
Deputy City Clerk only when the City Clerk is absent from a
Council meeting, and
WHEREAS, the City Clerk has many duties of an official nature,
and there should be provisions in the ordinances so that some
employee will be designated to carry on the duties of the City
Clerk when the City Clerk is on leave, out of town, ill,
otherwise incapacitated, or when the position is vacated, and
WHEREAS, KMC 1,15.020 appears to be misplaced in a chapter
dealing primarily with operations and rules of order of the City
Council and some of the provisions appear to be duplicitouo of
provisions in Chapter 1.25 dealing with the position of the City
Clerk, and
WHEREAS, it appears to be advantageous to consolidate the
provisions in KMC 1.15,020 with the provisions in KMC 1.25 and to
make provisions for substitution of another city employee in
place of the City Clerk when the City Clerk may be unavailable or
incapacitated in order that the important duties of this office
shall be carried on at all times.
