MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
FROM: Henry Knackstedt, Council Member
DATE: February 10, 2020
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2020-08 Supporting the Alaska Wing of the Civil Air
Patrol.
____________________________________________________________________________
The Alaska Wing of the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) provides critical services to our state including over
50% of all search and rescue missions and education and training to youth. This volunteer
organization with over 750 members statewide, including approximately 140 aircrew, 255 cadets
and 464 emergency responders provided approximately $2.6 million value in volunteer hours in
2018 (latest available figures). For the first time in recent history, the state did not provide funding
to the CAP in FY 2020. The CAP has a long cooperative relationship with the state based in part
on the state’s obligation to provide search and rescue services. The minimum funding request
from the CAP of $184,300 would cover insurance premiums, utility costs and emergency roof
repair for the organization, allowing it to continue operations without compromising its response
time and mission effectiveness. With over seventy years of presence on the Kenai Peninsula, with
a home on our airport since the 1950’s, the CAP is an important partner in our City.
I respectfully request your support for this resolution.

municipalities are able to enforce sales tax collection and remittance on out of state, or remote
sellers, selling goods and services in the tax jurisdiction with a taxable connection other than a
physical presence. To comply with the Wayfair decision, municipalities in Alaska recognized the
need to join together to form a single-level statewide sales tax administration. This is because the
Wayfair decision emphasized the importance of South Dakota’s sales tax administration that
allowed remote sellers to interface with one general sales tax code for the whole state and one
administrative entity, as opposed to having to interface with numerous taxing jurisdictions within
each state.
The City Council authorized the City to join the Alaska Remote Seller Sales Tax Commission
pursuant to Resolution 2019-72. As a member of the Commission, with a seat on the Board, the
City has worked with the Commission to adopt bylaws, agreements for commission members,
various policies, approve contracts for third party services and adopt a uniform remote sellers
sales tax code. The uniform remote sellers sales tax code streamlines remote seller sales tax
code provisions from the many different municipal taxing authorities in the state that wish to
participate and collect sales tax on remote sales. The Kenai Peninsula Borough is adopting these
streamlined code provisions through Ordinance 2020-03. The City has previously adopted by
reference the Borough’s sales tax code, except where specifically exempted, and through this
Resolution affirms its intent to adopt amendments and new code provisions adopted by the
Borough related to remote sales, effectively bringing the uniform remote sellers sales tax code
into the City. While this affirmation is perhaps not necessary based on existing code; KMC
7.10.050- Borough Sales Tax Adopted by Reference, I believe it is prudent for the City to
Page 25

Resolution No. 2020-09
legislatively acknowledge and support the significant change to Borough code that will affect the
City.
In addition to adopting a uniform tax code, the Commission has also developed a single-level
statewide sales tax administration. This has been done through a contract with the Alaska
Municipal League. The Alaska Municipal League is providing administrative support to the
Commission and has in turn contracted with two software companies (contracts ratified by the
Commission Board) to facilitate the collection, remittance and enforcement of municipal sales tax
at a single level. TTR is providing geographic information system technology and other services
while MUNIRevs is providing a single filing and remittance system. The Commission has agreed
to pay these two software companies a percentage of sales collected at varying scales. The
Commission has also authorized a one-time fixed fee to TTR and reimbursement of direct cost
plus 8% overhead to the Alaska Municipal League. All these costs are capped. It is my
understanding that the costs to the City for participating in this program are competitive and
justified. As more municipalities join the commission and collected amounts increase, costs to the
City are designed to go down. In order to facilitate this process whereby the Commission
administers the single level statewide sales tax program this Resolution authorizes the
Commission to implement, administer and enforce the uniform remote sellers sales tax code on
behalf of the City.
In large part through the Alaska Municipal League’s leadership, many municipalities in Alaska
have come together to create this relatively complicated program from scratch in a very short
period of time. If everything goes well, the City should see its first taxes collected and remitted in
March. I do anticipate there will be more work to do, possible amendments to code and
agreements, and there may be some administrative work at the local or Borough level. That said,
your consideration of this Resolution is appreciated.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Scott Curtin, Public Works Director
DATE: February 11, 2020
SUBJECT: Resolution 2020-10 – Budget Transfer for General Fund Buildings
The Buildings Maintenance Department Staff responds to Work Order Requests received from
across all City Departments. When not completing a Work Order, staff is conducting preventive
maintenance activities and coordinating routine contract service items. Items like elevator, fire
extinguisher, sprinkler and boiler inspections are examples.
This fiscal year $35,000 was budgeted for Repair and Maintenance items. We have obligated
approximately $33,000 of the available funds to date to address the City’s requested service
needs. This $15,000 Budget Transfer will allow the Department to continue to make repairs
when needed, as opposed to deferring to the next fiscal year, and potentially risking additional
costs due to lingering problems.
Council will continue to be informed of expenditures through the monthly purchase order reports.
Council’s support is respectfully requested.
Thank you for your consideration.

Member Navarre)
MOTION:
Council Member Navarre MOVED to adopt Resolution No. 2020-05 and requested UNANIMOUS
CONSENT. Vice Mayor Molloy SECONDED the motion.
Mayor Gabriel opened for public hearing.
Tammy Willis spoke in favor of the resolution noting incidents that had happened to her. She also
noted that, in her case, the FBI had become involved and were investigating the incidents as hate
crimes after the news picked up her story but that local police and Troopers were not able to
investigate as a hate crimes because sexual identity and sexual orientation were not listed as
aggravators in state law. She added the resolution told the LGBTQ community the City wouldn’t
tolerate hate crimes and were showing leadership for treating others with dignity and respect.
Audrey Gifford thanked Vice Mayor Molloy and Council Member Navarre for attending the town
hall meeting. She noted approximately 3.7% of Americans identified as LGBTQ and based on
the population of the City of Kenai that equaled about 288. She also pointed out that orientation
ranked as third highest in hate crimes with the first two being considered aggravators for hate
crimes.
Leslie Byrd suggested the population of LGBTQ in the community was likely higher than
previously suggested. Suggested there was nothing for anyone to lose except time to argue it.
She also noted people act in reflection of their shared values and asked that the Council lead in
a positive and inclusive manner. Leslie also noted that in some laws, premeditation was more
egregious, even if it ended in the same result due to the state of mind of the offender. Leslie
Page 36
City of Kenai Council Meeting Page 6 of 11
February 5, 2020
added that some believed it wasn’t necessary to add sexual orientation and sexual identity to the
laws but noted the United States weren’t there yet and so protected classes were needed.
April testified in favor of the resolution noting she moved from the East Coast to Kenai to be safe;
adding that she would be fired as a pastor where she came from, that her child would be bullied,
and that she still does not feel safe holding her wife’s hand in public. She added that being called
derogatory names was hard as was moving 7,000 miles from home to be a pastor because that
was what she was called to do. She added that the gas line to her vehicle had been cut since
she has been in this community.
Susan Smalley spoke in favor of the Resolution noting that she was mad that this action was
needed speaking to message crimes and explaining that was sending a message to the recipient
that they were not safe in the community and was done by cowards. She noted people in the
community had their heads in the sand and noted she was an ally; a heterosexual living in in a
climate which came from folks sitting back and allowing the message crimes to happen. Ms.
Smalley noted that House Bill 198 was a way to get to a place where the LGBTQ community
would be treated with dignity adding that hearts couldn’t be changed but behavior could.
Rebecca Heinsberger empathized with what Ms. Willis endured but spoke against passage
suggesting all people should be receiving the same protection. She suggested that there being
special classes didn’t seem fair and noting her situation as an abused wife didn’t qualify for any
of the aggravation categories.
Barbara Jedlicki noted she was grieved and saddened by how people were being treated in the
community and adding that she, too, was a victim of an ex-husband, noting the piece of paper
protection order sometimes didn’t stop them. She spoke in favor of everyone being protected but
spoke against dedicating classes suggesting it was a “Pandora’s Box” and getting out of hand.
There being no one else wishing to be heard, the public hearing was closed.
The City Attorney provided clarification that the resolution supported House Bill 198 which
proposed the addition of two aggravating factors to statute. He added that criminal charges have
presumptive sentencing guidelines, which were not to be deviated from too much. He noted there
were thirty-six aggravating factors altogether, which included domestic violence, and those listed
in the statute this House Bill was amending. He also noted this statute amendment would bring
the state statute in line with federal laws making them federal hate crimes because of the victim’s
gender identity or sexual orientation, race, creed, religion, etc.
The recent town hall meeting, not seeing the harm or hurt in the community, the hurt, the town
meeting being an opportunity for those that were hurt to speak, the fear of speaking, being
targeted, the aggravator addition being a first step providing tolerance and equity until another bill
brought forth were topics discussed.
New information, the issue of public safety, testimony from the LGBTQ community and allies,
wanting people to feel safe in places in Kenai, Kenai’s cooperative relationship with other law
enforcement agencies were additional topics discussed.
Clarification was provided that crimes against the LGBTQ community were not considered hate
crimes in Alaska statute and many aggravators were in statutes based on the crime committed.
Clarification was provided that if KPD were to be a part in a hate crime, they would pass on to the
Page 37
City of Kenai Council Meeting Page 7 of 11
February 5, 2020
state prosecutor if it was felt a class or aggravator was involved and it was up to the prosecutor
to pass the aggravator information on to the FBI.
It was suggested the House Bill fell short in what the LGBTQ community needed but was a step
in the right direction.
Given all the other considerations or aggravators elsewhere sexual identity or sexual orientation
not being seen as adding special treatment, freedom from fear, the matter being a question of
how to do it, speaking as community leaders, crimes often not being premeditated, crimes being
generational, everyone’s right to be treated equally, and prosecution to the fullest extent of the
law were additional topics discussed.
VOTE:
YEA: Knackstedt, Glendening, Molloy, Pettey, Navarre
NAY: Gabriel, Peterkin

TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council

DATE: February 12, 2020
SUBJECT: Purchase Orders over $15,000
The purpose of this memo is to request approval for a purchase order over $15,000 for the
purchase of tourism and marketing services for the City.
Through a competitive proposal process, the City selected Divining Point, LLC, for Tourism and
Marketing Services. Resolution No. 2019-46 authorized the City Manager to execute a term
agreement with Divining Point, LLS for three years beginning July 1, 2019 with the option to
extend for two successive one-year terms. The agreement between the City and Divining Point,
LLC is managed through the City Manager’s office and each project is negotiated separately with
Divining Point, LLC, within budgeted amounts and no minimum quantity of work is guaranteed.
Additional work to promote Kenai as the Best Place to Alaska requires additional funds in the
amount of $4,999 beyond the $35,000 dollars budgeted, the City Manager has worked with
Divining Point, LLC to establish a marketing plan which includes video, mini videos, photos, public
relations, social media, and event promotion in Kenai.
Funding for this purchase is provided for within the current budget, in the Visitor Center
Professional Services account in the amount of $22,124.00 for the purchase of tourism and

of the cumulative earnings at calendar year end for the fund or four percent (4%) of the fund’s fair
market value as of December 31st of each year. “Cumulative earnings” is defined as the market
value at calendar year end minus the fund’s inflation adjusted principal balance.
The December 31, 2019 market value of the GLSPF was $3,430,972 with cumulative earnings of
$516,239.
December 31, 2019
Portfolio Value $3,430,972
4% of Portfolio Value $137,239
Cumulative Earnings $516,239
FY20 Allowable Transfer $137,239

transfer amount to the maximum value of $137,239, an increase of $12,987.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, AUTHORIZING THE
CITY MANAGER TO REIMBURSE ANNUAL LEAVE USED BY FIREFIGHTER SCOTT
SUMMERS FOR ATTENDING A PARAMEDIC INTERNSHIP PROGRAM.
WHEREAS, Firefighter Scott Summers recently completed his paramedic certification program;
and,
WHEREAS, as part of the certification process, Firefighter Scott Summers expended
approximately $20,000 of his own funds and used approximately 336 hours of annual leave to
attend a paramedic internship at Cypress Creek EMS in Houston, Texas from October 2, 2019
through November 14, 2019; and,
WHEREAS, the City benefits from having certified paramedics in the Fire Department providing
a higher level of service; and,
WHEREAS, as a certified paramedic, Firefighter Summers receives additional compensation;
and,
WHEREAS, it is in the best interests of the City to reimburse Firefighter Scott Summers leave
account, which he used to attend the paramedic internship; a period of time in which 336 hours
of annual leave were used; and,
WHEREAS, an ordinance is necessary to accomplish this as the City Code does not contain a
specific method to accomplish such reimbursement of leave time.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA,
as follows:
Section 1. Form: That this is a non-code ordinance.
Section 2. Authorizing the Reimbursement of Leave: That the City Manager is authorized to

Summers for attending a paramedic internship program over a period of three years.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Jeff Tucker, Fire Chief
DATE: February 11, 2020
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3109-2020 – Reimburse Annual Leave
____________________________________________________________________________
The purpose of this memo is to provide additional information in support of the referenced
ordinance. Firefighter Scott Summers participated in a pilot offering of the Paramedic program
through the Kenai Peninsula College. What was unique about this program is that it allowed
fulltime EMT III’s to enroll without the perquisites typically required for the program and allowed
the student to complete a quarter of their internship at their home department. This reduced the
leave that a full-time employed EMT III would be required to take to complete the program.
The program consisted of classroom sessions, ride-a-longs, labs, hospital clinical rotations and
culminated with a 6 week field internship. The field internship took place at Cypress Creek EMS
in Houston, Texas. Firefighter Summers spent nearly $20,000 out of pocket for the 1,600 hour
course and utilized 336 hours of personal leave time.
Firefighter Summers has completed the program and as of January 14th, 2020 is a Nationally
Registered Paramedic.
Kenai Fire Department firefighters are not required to become paramedics and are not eligible for
a leave of absence with pay under KMC 23.40.060 to attend paramedic school since it is not a
requirement of their position. However, in recognition of professional development, personal time,
and effort of the individual to achieve the same, a recognition entitlement is paid to Fire
Department employees who obtain a paramedic certification at the rate of $1,500 per year, which
is only $500 more per year than the employee would receive as qualification pay as an EMT III.
Reimbursing leave taken to attend paramedic is typical of what other similarly-situated
departments are doing nation-wide. Based upon the recommendation of Fire Chief Jeff Tucker,
the attached Ordinance provides for the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Scott
Summers to be reimbursed for the leave he utilized to attend paramedic training in equal
Page 77
Page 2 of 2
Ordinance No. 3109 - 2020
reimbursements over a period of three years. Should Firefighter Summers employment with the
City end prior to the reimbursement being complete, the reimbursement would not continue.
If City Council enacts Ordinance 3109-2020, the City would reimburse Firefighter Summers for
the 336 hours of personal leave time over a 3 year period.
Thank you for your consideration.

11.15.120 SURVEY PROCEDURE.
WHEREVER FEASIBLE, DATA AS SET FORTH IN ATS 272, RECORDED IN THE KENAI
RECORDING DISTRICT AS 76-179 SHALL BE USED. WHERE ADDITIONAL DATA IS
REQUIRED THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES SHALL GOVERN:
(A) DETERMINING THE LINE OF MEAN HIGH TIDE.
(1) IN THE CASE OF U.S. SURVEY WHICH ABUTS THE TIDELANDS, SUCH U.S.
SURVEY BEING MADE PRIOR TO THE DATE OF STATEHOOD, THE LINE OF MEAN
HIGH TIDE SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO BE EITHER THE MEANDER LINES
ESTABLISHED ON THE SEAWARD SIDE OF THE U.S. SURVEY OR THE LINE AS
DEFINED UNDER SECTION 2(S) OF THESE REGULATIONS, WHICHEVER IS THE
LOWER.
(2) FOR TIDELANDS SURVEYS ABUTTING ANY U.S. SURVEY MADE AFTER THE
DATE OF STATEHOOD OR IN ANY LOCATION WHERE NO UPLANDS SURVEY
EXISTS, THE LINE OF MEAN HIGH TIDE SHALL BE DETERMINED BY USING
U.S.C. & G.S. BENCH MARKS (OR ANY OTHER BENCH MARKS WHICH HAVE BEEN
ESTABLISHED FROM THAT SOURCE), AND TIDE TABLE DATUM. THE UPLAND
BOUNDARY NEED NOT FOLLOW THIS LINE IN ITS ENTIRE EXACTNESS, BUT MAY
FOLLOW IN A “MEANDER” OR “AVERAGE” LINE OF MEAN HIGH TIDE. EACH END
OF THE BOUNDARY SHOULD BE ESTABLISHED ON THE ELEVATION OF MEAN
HIGH TIDE. PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT WHERE THE TRUE LINE OF MEAN HIGH
TIDE HAS BEEN ALTERED BY FILL OR ARTIFICIAL ACCRETION, THE LINE OF HIGH
TIDE AS IT EXISTED PRIOR TO SUCH ALTERATION SHALL GOVERN.

New Text Underlined; [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED]
(3) IN THE CASE THAT NO U.S.C. & G.S. BENCH MARK EXISTS WITHIN ONE MILE
OF THE PROPERTY BEING SURVEYED, THE SURVEYOR MAY, BY USING THE
TIDE TABLES FOR THE IMMEDIATE BODY OF WATER, AND APPLYING TIDAL
READINGS HE HAS TAKEN, DETERMINE THE LINE OF MEAN HIGH TIDE AND USE
IT IN ACCORDANCE WITH PARAGRAPH (2) OF THIS SECTION. IN SOME CASES,
SUCH AS SALT OR MUD FLAT AREAS WHERE THE AVERAGE GRADE OF THE
BENCH IS TEN PERCENT (10%) OR LESS AND DETERMINING THE ELEVATION OF
THE LINE OF MEAN HIGH TIDE COULD CREATE A LENGTHY HORIZONTAL
DISTANCE, THE CITY COUNCIL MAY REQUIRE THAT THE TRUE LINE OF MEAN
HIGH TIDE BE ESTABLISHED, REGARDLESS OF THE DISTANCE FROM A KNOWN
BENCH MARK.
(B) METHOD OF ESTABLISHING SIDE BOUNDARY LINES.
(1) IN FIXING THE SIDE BOUNDARY LINES, THE GENERAL RULES OF
EXTENDING RIPARIAN BOUNDARY LINES, AS OUTLINED BY SUCH AUTHORS AS
RAYNER, CLARK OR BROWN, SHALL BE FOLLOWED. IN THE EVENT THAT
ACTUAL OCCUPANCY DOES NOT MATCH THE RIPARIAN BOUNDARIES, THE
SURVEY SHALL BE MADE TO INCLUDE THE OCCUPANT’S HOLDINGS AND NOT
TO ENCROACH ON THE ADJOINING OCCUPANT.
11.15.130 PROCEDURE ON FINAL PLAT.
(A) THE FINAL PLAT SHALL CONFORM SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE PRELIMINARY
LAYOUT AS APPROVED BY THE COMMISSION.

COMMISSION, ONE COPY SHALL BE SENT, ALONG WITH THE DEED TO THE
PROPERTY, TO THE MAGISTRATE OF THE RECORDING DISTRICT IN WHICH THE
TRACT LIES FOR OFFICIAL RECORDING. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS SHALL BE SENT
TO THE MAGISTRATE INSTRUCTING HIM TO SEND THE DEED TO THE OCCUPANT

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
FROM: Council Members Jim Glendening and Robert Peterkin
DATE: February 10, 2020
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3106-2020 – Amending Title 11 – Harbor and Harbor
Facilities
The Harbor Commission, and a subcommittee, has been reviewing Title 11 of the Kenai Municipal
Code to recommend changes that more appropriately reflect the Harbor Commissions current
functions, relationship with other commissions, and desires moving forward. This process is
especially relevant now, with the enactment of Ordinance No. 3072-2019 (Substitute) which
repealed and re-enacted the City’s approach to the managing City lands. Part of this approach
was to bring certain harbor lands, along with airport lands outside the airport reserve into the
City’s general fund land sales and leasing process to establish a consistent Citywide approach.
Additionally relevant to revisions of Title 11, many procedures and processes described in the
Title are no longer applicable because they address the transfer of certain tidelands from the
State of Alaska to the City on January 6, 1977 and the adjudication of preference rights or
commercial fishermen, much of which had to be accomplished by October 6, 1981.
It appears that when the Harbor Code was originally enacted, the City had a vision for a harbor
that did not come to fruition. Further, many current code provisions address specific conveyance
restrictions on specific parcels of land that do not broadly apply to all harbor lands. These specific
restrictions are carried forward in the City’s land management plan and do not need to remain
codified. Rather than retain old code provisions that are no longer applicable or applied, we
recommend removing the old language and addressing changes or new plans for the harbor on
a go forward basis. The proposed changes will not limit the City’s ability to move forward with any
new plans or projects, however new code provisions may be appropriate to address any
significant changes in harbor usage.
The Harbor Commission and a subcommittee formed especially to review Title 11 have put
considerable time and effort into revising the code and strategizing a path forward so the
Commission can be of greatest service to the City. The code revisions in this Ordinance
incorporate the recommended revisions from the Harbor Commission and its subcommittee,
Page 136
Page 2 of 2
Ordinance No. 3106-2020
along with other proposed changes based on the enactment of Ordinance No. 3072-2019
(Substitute) and continued relevance of other sections of code recommended by the City Attorney.
We ask that this Ordinance be referred to the Harbor Commission upon introduction. Your
consideration is appreciated.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
FROM: Scott Bloom, City Attorney
DATE: February 10, 2020
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3106-2020 – Amending Title 11 – Harbor and Harbor
Facilities
Below is a sectional analysis of the code changes recommended in Ordinance 3106-
2020. Comments are provided in red. In general, many of the provisions are
recommended to be deleted for three main reasons: 1) because they address specific
tasks that were temporal in nature and were completed over three decades ago; 2) they
provide a process for leasing lands that are already described in Chapter 22.05-
Disposition of City Lands; or 3) they contain lease provisions that are now contained in
the City’s standard lease form approved by Council. With regard to the first reason, I don’t
think the City’s municipal code should contain provisions that are only relevant for a
relatively short periods of time. Removing these items will reduce clutter within the code,
improve readability and clarity. A record will be kept and is available should any of these
removed issues become relevant again. As to the second reason, the City Council
recently approved significant amendments to the City’s Lands Code, including its leasing
provisions which now apply to harbor lands. The lease provisions in Title 11 should be
removed as they are inconsistent with Chapter 22 and recent practices of the City. Finally,
as to the third reason, maintaining fairly specific contract language in code, in this case
specific lease provisions, makes the City inflexible as a business partner and makes it
difficult to address unique situations in a timely and efficient manner. I support the removal
of these provisions from Title 11.

The Harbor Master, shall be the Public Works Director. The Harbor Master shall be the chief
administrator of the harbor and its facilities. He or she shall have all powers and duties prescribed
by ordinance and the regulations and rates prescribed by the City Manager. In addition, insofar
as it is appropriate, shall have all powers and duties and rates prescribed by the City Manager,
subject to approval by the Council; and, in addition, insofar as it is appropriate, shall have all

including all tide and submerged lands, whether filled or unfilled, situated below the line of mean
high tide, as may be leased from the State of Alaska.

Ordinance No. 3106-2020
11.05.030 Harbor [R]Regulations. (House Keeping)
The City Manager is hereby empowered, subject to change by the Council, to make such rules
and regulations required for the operation of the harbor, not in conflict with the provisions of this
Code, and to establish the fees, rates, and charges for the billing and collections for the support
of the harbor, and no person shall fail to comply with any such rule or regulation.
[11.05.040 PERMIT FOR TERMINAL OR TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES.
(A) ALL LESSEES, OWNERS, OR OCCUPANTS OF PROPERTY WITHIN THE HARBOR OR
CONTIGUOUS TO IT WHO WISH TO CONSTRUCT OR OPERATE TERMINAL OR
TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES OF ANY KIND THEREIN, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED
TO, DOCKS AND WAREHOUSES, SHALL APPLY TO THE LANDSCAPING/SITE PLAN
REVIEW BOARD FOR A PERMIT]. APPLICATION THEREFOR SHALL BE MADE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH REGULATIONS DESCRIBED IN KMC 14.25, ENTITLED
“LANDSCAPING/SITE PLAN REGULATIONS,” AND SHALL BE ACCOMPANIED BY A PLAN
OF THE PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION, WHICH SHALL MEET ALL STANDARDS AND
REQUIREMENTS WHICH MAY BE SET FORTH BY THE COUNCIL.
(B) THE APPLICANT SHALL REFER ALL PLANS OF THE TYPE OR LOCATION OF ANY
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION WHICH ARE OR MAY BE IN CONFLICT WITH THE GENERAL
CITY PLAN TO THE HARBOR COMMISSION AND THE LANDSCAPING/SITE PLAN REVIEW
BOARD TO DETERMINE W HETHER SUCH PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION IS IN KEEPING
WITH THE OBJECTIVES OF THE GENERAL PLAN. THE DECISION OF THE
LANDSCAPING/SITE PLAN REVIEW BOARD SHALL BE BINDING UNLESS APPEALED BY
COUNCIL. THE BUILDING OFFICIAL MAY ISSUE PERMITS UPON SUCH TERMS AND
CONDITIONS AND FOR SUCH DURATION AS IT MAY DEEM PROPER, AND NO
CONSTRUCTION MAY BEGIN OR OPERATION CARRIED ON WITHOUT A PERMIT FROM
THE BUILDING OFFICIAL.] This section last amended in 1990 is no longer current with the
applicable procedures for landscape site plan review. There is no landscape site plan review
board, nor is there a general plan for the City. We do however have a comprehensive plan. All
qualifying improvements within the City are required to go through an applicable administrative
site plan review process and building permit process pursuant to provision in the Planning and
Zoning code. Removing this section in Title will not affect those requirements.
[11.05.050 CONDITION AS TO EQUAL SERVICES AND RATES.
IT SHALL BE A CONDITION OF ALL PERMITS GRANTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL THAT THE
FACILITIES TO BE CON-STRUCTED AND THE SERVICES TO BE SUPPLIED IN
CONNECTION WITH THEM SHALL BE MADE AVAILABLE TO ALL CARRIERS UPON EQUAL
TERMS, AT EQUAL RATES, AND WITHOUT DISCRIMINATION OF ANY KIND.] The City
Council no longer grants permits of this nature, I am unable to confirm if they ever have. The City
Page 140
Page 4 of 59
Ordinance No. 3106-2020
can restrict property use and services provided through any deed or grant restrictions if applicable
through lease requirements, grant requirements, or permits, such as ‘special use’ permits. I am
uncertain of other regulatory authority imposed by the City in this regard. Through the City’s
administrative process and the land management plan, any conditions necessary to be imposed
on a property or activities on such property based on third party regulatory authority or title
restrictions should be carried forward.
[11.05.060 INVESTIGATION OF HOLDER—CANCELLATION.
THE CITY COUNCIL MAY INQUIRE INTO THE MANNER IN WHICH OBLIGATIONS UNDER
THE PERMITS ISSUED BY IT ARE CARRIED OUT, AND INTO THE RATE SCHEDULES AND
PRACTICES OF THE PERMIT HOLDERS FOR PURPOSES OF DETERMINING WHETHER
THE PROVISIONS OF THE PERMITS ARE BEING COMPLIED WITH. IT SHALL HAVE
ACCESS TO BOOKS AND RECORDS AND TO TERMINAL AND TRANSPORTATION
FACILITIES AS MAY BE REASONABLY NECESSARY TO ENABLE IT TO MAKE SUCH A
DETERMINATION. SHOULD THE COUNCIL AT ANY TIME FIND THE PERMIT HOLDER IS
NOT COMPLYING WITH THE TERMS OF HIS OR HER PERMIT, IT MAY CANCEL THE
PERMIT UPON SUCH NOTICE AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH PROCEDURE AS IT MAY,
BY REGULATION, PRESCRIBE.] Similar to the proceeding section, the City Council does not
issue permits in this regard, nor have regulations been enacted to provide for these activities.
[11.05.070 FACILITY RATES AND CHARGES.
THE CITY SHALL FIX THE RATES AND CHARGES FOR THE USE OF ANY AND ALL
TERMINAL OR TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES CONSTRUCTED ON PROPERTY UNDER
ITS JURISDICTION, INCLUDING CHARGES ASSESSED AGAINST VESSELS, THEIR
OWNERS, AGENTS OR OPERATORS WHICH LOAD OR DISCHARGE CARGO AT ANY OF
THE TERMINALS WITHIN THE HARBOR AREA; CHARGES FOR BERTHAGE WHILE
LOADING OR DISCHARGING CARGO; CHARGES FOR ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES IN
SERVING THE CARRIER’S CHARGES FOR FREIGHT HANDLING, LOADING, UNLOADING
AND WHARF DEMURRAGE RATES. SUCH RATES AND CHARGES SHALL BE JUST AND
REASONABLE. THE RATES AND CHARGES SHALL BE AS SET FORTH IN THE CITY’S
SCHEDULE OF FEES ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL.] The City does not fix these rates
and has not regulated the contemplated industries in such a manner. The City only regulates the
rates for use of its own dock facility.
11.05.080 Leasing [N]Not [P]Prohibited. (House Keeping)
Nothing in this chapter or in this code of ordinances shall prohibit the City Council from leasing
the docks, dock sites, and other harbor facilities to private persons, firms, and corporations. While
this language is arguably not necessary, it is not harmful and I recommend it be kept.
Page 141
Page 5 of 59
Ordinance No. 3106-2020
11.05.090 Use of [L]Launch [R]Ramp and [F]Float. (House Keeping)
(a) The City of Kenai launching facility shall be open to the public upon reasonable terms
and conditions as provided by regulation.
(b) Failure to pay a boat launch fee for the City of Kenai launching facility set forth according
to KMC 11.05 within one (1) hour of the retrieval of the boat or vessel from the water shall be
a violation punishable by a fine of fifty dollars ($50.00).
(c) It is unlawful to block access to either of the launch ramp or float facilities. “Blocking
access” means leaving a boat, trailer, or vehicle upon the launch ramp or float in such a
position as to prevent the launching or retrieval of boats.
(d) Person blocking access to the ramp or float facilities shall be subject to a civil penalty as
provided in KMC 13.05.010(b).
(e) Each one (1) hour period for which the ramp or float is blocked shall be considered a
separate offense for the purposes of civil penalties. I recommend this section be left in for
now, however the Harbor Commission may want to address these provisions moving forward.
For example, I would recommend imposing a fine for blocking the ramp that can be imposed
as a minor offense as opposed to a civil penalty, which is much more difficult and costly to
enforce administratively.
11.05.100 No [W]Wake [Z]Zones. (House Keeping)
(a) The City Manager, subject to change by the Council, is authorized to establish no wake
zones within the Kenai Harbor outside of the Kenai River Special Management Area as
needed to protect public and private property, and/or public safety.
(b) No wake zones may be established on a temporary or permanent basis.
(c) A “no wake zone” is defined as a zone where no person may operate a boat at a speed
greater than five (5) miles per hour.
(d) Established no wake zones shall be marked with appropriate signage in a manner to
provide reasonable public notice.
(e) A violation of this section shall be punishable as provided in KMC 13.05.010.
I recommend this section be left in as is. This may be an area the Harbor Commission wants
to revisit moving forward to ensure it is adequately addressing concerns.

11.15.120 SURVEY PROCEDURE.
WHEREVER FEASIBLE, DATA AS SET FORTH IN ATS 272, RECORDED IN THE KENAI
RECORDING DISTRICT AS 76-179 SHALL BE USED. WHERE ADDITIONAL DATA IS
REQUIRED THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES SHALL GOVERN:
(A) DETERMINING THE LINE OF MEAN HIGH TIDE.
(1) IN THE CASE OF U.S. SURVEY WHICH ABUTS THE TIDELANDS, SUCH U.S.
SURVEY BEING MADE PRIOR TO THE DATE OF STATEHOOD, THE LINE OF MEAN
HIGH TIDE SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO BE EITHER THE MEANDER LINES
ESTABLISHED ON THE SEAWARD SIDE OF THE U.S. SURVEY OR THE LINE AS
DEFINED UNDER SECTION 2(S) OF THESE REGULATIONS, WHICHEVER IS THE
LOWER.
(2) FOR TIDELANDS SURVEYS ABUTTING ANY U.S. SURVEY MADE AFTER THE
DATE OF STATEHOOD OR IN ANY LOCATION WHERE NO UPLANDS SURVEY
EXISTS, THE LINE OF MEAN HIGH TIDE SHALL BE DETERMINED BY USING
U.S.C. & G.S. BENCH MARKS (OR ANY OTHER BENCH MARKS WHICH HAVE BEEN
ESTABLISHED FROM THAT SOURCE), AND TIDE TABLE DATUM. THE UPLAND
BOUNDARY NEED NOT FOLLOW THIS LINE IN ITS ENTIRE EXACTNESS, BUT MAY
FOLLOW IN A “MEANDER” OR “AVERAGE” LINE OF MEAN HIGH TIDE. EACH END
OF THE BOUNDARY SHOULD BE ESTABLISHED ON THE ELEVATION OF MEAN
HIGH TIDE. PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT WHERE THE TRUE LINE OF MEAN HIGH
TIDE HAS BEEN ALTERED BY FILL OR ARTIFICIAL ACCRETION, THE LINE OF HIGH
TIDE AS IT EXISTED PRIOR TO SUCH ALTERATION SHALL GOVERN.
(3) IN THE CASE THAT NO U.S.C. & G.S. BENCH MARK EXISTS WITHIN ONE MILE
OF THE PROPERTY BEING SURVEYED, THE SURVEYOR MAY, BY USING THE
TIDE TABLES FOR THE IMMEDIATE BODY OF WATER, AND APPLYING TIDAL
READINGS HE HAS TAKEN, DETERMINE THE LINE OF MEAN HIGH TIDE AND USE
IT IN ACCORDANCE WITH PARAGRAPH (2) OF THIS SECTION. IN SOME CASES,
SUCH AS SALT OR MUD FLAT AREAS WHERE THE AVERAGE GRADE OF THE
BENCH IS TEN PERCENT (10%) OR LESS AND DETERMINING THE ELEVATION OF
THE LINE OF MEAN HIGH TIDE COULD CREATE A LENGTHY HORIZONTAL
Page 153
Page 17 of 59
Ordinance No. 3106-2020
DISTANCE, THE CITY COUNCIL MAY REQUIRE THAT THE TRUE LINE OF MEAN
HIGH TIDE BE ESTABLISHED, REGARDLESS OF THE DISTANCE FROM A KNOWN
BENCH MARK.
(B) METHOD OF ESTABLISHING SIDE BOUNDARY LINES.
(1) IN FIXING THE SIDE BOUNDARY LINES, THE GENERAL RULES OF
EXTENDING RIPARIAN BOUNDARY LINES, AS OUTLINED BY SUCH AUTHORS AS
RAYNER, CLARK OR BROWN, SHALL BE FOLLOWED. IN THE EVENT THAT
ACTUAL OCCUPANCY DOES NOT MATCH THE RIPARIAN BOUNDARIES, THE
SURVEY SHALL BE MADE TO INCLUDE THE OCCUPANT’S HOLDINGS AND NOT
TO ENCROACH ON THE ADJOINING OCCUPANT. This section applies to specific
plats which are no longer reviewed.
11.15.130 PROCEDURE ON FINAL PLAT.
(A) THE FINAL PLAT SHALL CONFORM SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE PRELIMINARY

COMMISSION. WHEN MORE THAN ONE SHEET IS REQUIRED, AN INDEX SHALL BE
FILED SHOWING THE ENTIRE PARCEL WITH THE SHEETS IN NUMERICAL ORDER,
AND EACH SHEET SHOWING THE TOTAL NUMBER, I.E., SHEET 1 OF 3. WHEN MORE
THAN ONE SHEET IS SUBMITTED, ONLY THE LAST MUST HAVE THE APPROVAL
BLOCKS, BUT ALL SHEETS MUST BE THE SAME SIZE.
(D) WHEN THE FINAL PLAT HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE PLANNING & ZONING
COMMISSION, ONE COPY SHALL BE SENT, ALONG WITH THE DEED TO THE
PROPERTY, TO THE MAGISTRATE OF THE RECORDING DISTRICT IN WHICH THE
TRACT LIES FOR OFFICIAL RECORDING. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS SHALL BE SENT
TO THE MAGISTRATE INSTRUCTING HIM TO SEND THE DEED TO THE OCCUPANT
AFTER RECORDING. ONE COPY OF THE PLAT WILL BE RETURNED TO THE
OCCUPANT. THE ORIGINAL TRACING CONTAINING THE CERTIFICATION BY THE
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION WILL BE RETAINED BY THE CITY. PRINTS OR
DUPLICATE TRANSPARENCIES WILL BE FURNISHED AT COST OF REPRODUCTION.
This provision applies to plats that are no longer processed.

code related to conditional use permits and can be included in a specific lease if necessary.
11.20.650 Tidelands [C]Claims. (House Keeping)
The City shall lease the subject land subject to any preference rights claims made pursuant to the
provisions of Alaska State 38.05.[3]820 or Ordinance No. 455-78, dated September 5, 1979 of
the City of Kenai, adopted pursuant thereto, and the lessee holds lessor harmless for any
damages, legal expenses, or compensation necessitated by the resolution or satisfaction of said
claims, if any. This is a unique provision that should remain. The proposed changes reflect a
statutory change to state law renumbering the state statute number.
11.20.660 Subjection to [H]Harbor [O]Ordinance. (House Keeping)
All leases are subject to the terms, conditions, and regulations imposed by Title II, Harbor and
Harbor Facilities, of the 1979 Kenai Code of ordinances as amended of which this section is part.
This is relevant and should be reiterated in the lease document itself.
[11.20.670 ARBITRATION.

Page 192
Page 56 of 59
Ordinance No. 3106-2020
WITH THE RULES OF SUCH ASSOCIATION. THE ARBITRATORS DESIGNATED AND
ACTING UNDER THIS LEASE SHALL HAVE NO POWER TO DEPART FROM OR CHANGE
ANY OF THE PROVISIONS THEREOF. THE EXPENSE OF ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS
CONDUCTED HEREUNDER SHALL BE BORNE EQUALLY BY THE PARTIES. THE
PROCEEDINGS SHALL TAKE PLACE IN KENAI, ALASKA UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED
UPON BY THE PARTIES.] Appeal rights for lease rates are provided in Title 22 addressing city
lands. In the general the City has moved away from arbitration clauses.
11.20.680 Provisions [R]Regulating [P]Public [U]Use [P]Purpose. (House
Keeping)
The City Council realizes that only a limited area of tidelands bordering navigable waters are
available within the City of Kenai and which are owned by the City of Kenai. It would be in the
public interest to insure that these lands do not pass out of community control at least to the extent
that the public would not be deprived of harbor services at reasonable rates in the future.
Therefore, areas of City-owned tidelands which are developable for the bona fide public purposes
as enumerated below shall be leased only with the following covenants defined to insure public
use and access at reasonable rates. This is a provision unique to Title 11 that should be
maintained.
11.20.690 Provision to be [I]Included in [P]Public [U]Use [L]Lease. (House
Keeping)
The following provision shall be included in leases where harbor facilities are constructed to be
utilized all or in part for bona fide public uses. This is a provision unique to Title 11 that should be
maintained.
11.20.700 Public [U]Use: [D]Defined. (House Keeping)
(a) Public use shall mean a use limited in part or in whole to the following:
(1) In general, the lessee may use the demised premises or part thereof for any of the
following purposes only:
(i) Public dock facilities.
(ii) Maritime commerce.
(iii) Transportation.
(iv) Fishing.
(v) Boat harbor.
(vi) Port and waterfront development purposes.
(b) Before lessee may conduct any activities which fall under this general criteria, but are
not specifically mentioned above, lessee must obtain written consent of the City. This is a
provision unique to Title 11 that should be maintained, however I would recommend the
Page 193
Page 57 of 59
Ordinance No. 3106-2020
Harbor Commission revisit this to ensure it allows for sufficient flexibility in development, for
example, it should not be interpreted to prohibit retail, restaurant, or boat storage, even
perhaps some limited residential as part of a broader harbor development plan.
11.20.710 Controlled [A]Access. (House Keeping)
Lessee, for its own protection, may construct or install fences, gates, or other types of barriers to
restrict access to portions of the demised premises that are not designated for a public use and
may provide reasonable controls for access to public use areas to allow for security for such areas
while insuring reasonable public access. Reasonable public access includes accommodations
made for fishing operations during fishing season. Any Controlled Access measures shall be
indicated on the Lessee’s Development Plan. This is a provision unique to Title 11 that should be
maintained.
11.20.720 Use [C]Charges. (House Keeping)
Lessee shall make reasonable and non-discriminatory charges to the public for use of any of its
facilities. [IT IS EXPRESSLY RECOGNIZED THAT LESSEE IS ENTITLED TO A MARGIN OF
PROFIT, WHICH SHOULD BE FAI R, REASONABLE, AND COMPETITIVE, AND THAT CITY
WILL COOPERATE TO THIS END IN CONSIDERING RATES AND FEES. THE COMMISSION
SHALL REVIEW ALL RATE STRUCTURES ANNUALLY. THE LEASE SHALL CONTAIN AN
ARBITRATION PROVISION AS SET FORTH IN KMC 11.20.670 TO RESOLVE DISPUTES
ARISING HEREUNDER.] As a general policy this is ok, but the City currently does not monitor
rates charged by businesses.
[11.20.730 MAINTENANCE OF DOCK.
LESSEE COVENANTS THAT IT WILL MAINTAIN THE DOCK FACILITY IN A SAFE CONDITION
AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL STANDARDS.] I
recommend removal of this because it is unclear what dock is being referred to and is covered in
other provisions and lease terms.
[11.20.740 MODIFICATIONS OF EXISTING LEASES.
LEASES SHALL ONLY BE MODIFIED TO THAT EXTENT DEEMED TO BE NECESSARY TO
PROTECT THE PUBLIC’S INTEREST. This is provided for in the lease form.
11.20.750 UNAUTHORIZED REMOVAL OF MATERIAL PROHIBITED.
ANY PERSON, FIRM, OR CORPORATION WHO WITHOUT WRITTEN AUTHORITY FROM
THE CITY REMOVES ROCK, GRAVEL, OR OTHER MATERIAL FROM THE LANDS OWNED
BY THE CITY WITHOUT THE EXPRESS CONSENT OF THE CITY SHALL BE DEEMED
GUILTY OF A VIOLATION. ANY CRIMINAL ACTION TAKEN AGAINST SUCH PERSON SHALL
Page 194
Page 58 of 59
Ordinance No. 3106-2020
NOT PRECLUDE THE INSTITUTION OF CIVIL PROCEEDINGS BY THE CITY. This is provided
for in the lease form.
11.20.760 REMOVAL NOT AUTHORIZED BY LEASE.
NO DEED OR LEASE GRANTED BY THE CITY TO ANY PERSON SHALL CONTAIN TERMS
OR BE CONSTRUED AS GRANTING ANY RIGHT TO REMOVE MATERIAL FROM CITY
LANDS.] This is provided for in the lease form.
[11.20.770 DISPOSITION OF RIGHTS BY COUNCIL.
IN RECOGNITION THAT CONDITIONS MAY EXIST FROM TIME TO TIME W HEREBY USE OF
SUCH LANDS AND THE MATERIAL COMPRISING THE SAME MAY BE BENEFICIAL TO THE
PUBLIC INTEREST AND PROMOTE THE PROGRESS AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE CITY,
APPLICATIONS FOR THE USE THEREOF MAY BE RECEIVED AND CONSIDERED BY THE
COMMISSION, PROVIDING SUCH APPLICATIONS FULLY DISCLOSE TO THE CITY ALL
MATERIAL FACTS AND PLANS FOR THE PROPOSED USE. SUCH APPLICATIONS SHALL
BE CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OF THE CITY AND REFERRED TO
THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION FOR ITS RECOMMENDATIONS. DISPOSITION OF
SUCH APPLICATIONS SHALL BE MADE BY THE COUNCIL AFTER RECOMMENDATION
FROM THE COMMISSION.] This is covered in the City’s material site ordinances.
11.20.780 Penalties.
(a) It is unlawful for any person to violate any of the provisions of this chapter and upon
conviction thereof shall be fined as provided for violations in KMC 13.05.010. Each day such
violation is committed or permitted to continue shall constitute a separate offense and shall
be punishable as such hereunder.
(b) In addition to or as an alternative to the above penalty provision, the City may impose a
civil penalty in an amount as provided by KMC 13.05.010 per day for the violation of any
provision of this chapter and seek injunctive relief for any infraction thereof for which the
offending party will be charged for reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred by the City
as awarded by the court.
(c) Nothing in this section shall be deemed to restrict the City’s exercise of any of its rights
pursuant to the lease agreement including those enumerated in KMC 11.20.220 and KMC
11.20.240 hereof. This penalty section is appropriate to remain in code.
11.20.790 Tideland [L]Leases for [S]Shore [F]Fisheries. (House Keeping)
(a) Notwithstanding other provisions of the City’s Code of Ordinances [T]the annual
minimum rental rate for tideland leases used primarily for shore fisheries shall be an annual
fee as set forth in the City’s schedule of fees adopted by the City Council. However, should
Page 195
Page 59 of 59
Ordinance No. 3106-2020
the State of Alaska set an annual lease rate higher than that established by the City for similar
tideland leases for shore fisheries on land owned by the State, the City may amend the annual
rental to a rate equal to that charged by the State of Alaska. [ANY MONEY OWED
PURSUANT TO KMC 11.20.150 ] SHALL BE IN ADDITION TO THE ANNUAL MINIMUM
SET FORTH ABOVE.
(B) NEITHER KMC 11.20.160 NOR KMC 11.20.620(A) SHALL APPLY TO TIDELAND
LEASES FOR SHORE FISHERIES.
(C) THE PROVISIONS OF KMC 11.20.110 AND KMC 11.20.130 REQUIRING
APPRAISALS OF TIDELAND PROPERTY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LEASES OF
TIDELANDS FOR SHORE FISHERIES. HOWEVER, THE SURVEY PROVISIONS OF KMC
11.20.110 ARE APPLICABLE TO SHORE FISHERY LEASES.] Shore fisheries lease are
unique and this section should be maintained. The amendments address the proposed
removal of prior code sections.

The City shall lease the subject land subject to any preference rights claims made pursuant to the
provisions of Alaska State 38.05.820 or Ordinance No. 455-78, dated September 5, 1979 of the

11.20.680 Provisions Regulating Public Use Purpose.
The City Council realizes that only a limited area of tidelands bordering navigable waters are
available within the City of Kenai and which are owned by the City of Kenai. It would be in the
public interest to insure that these lands do not pass out of community control at least to the extent
that the public would not be deprived of harbor services at reasonable rates in the future.
Therefore, areas of City-owned tidelands which are developable for the bona fide public purposes
as enumerated below shall be leased only with the following covenants defined to insure public
use and access at reasonable rates.
11.20.690 Provision to be Included in Public Use Lease.

(iv) Fishing.
(v) Boat harbor.
(vi) Port and waterfront development purposes.
(b) Before lessee may conduct any activities which fall under this general criteria, but are
not specifically mentioned above, lessee must obtain written consent of the City.
11.20.710 Controlled Access.
Lessee, for its own protection, may construct or install fences, gates, or other types of barriers to
restrict access to portions of the demised premises that are not designated for a public use and
may provide reasonable controls for access to public use areas to allow for security for such areas
while insuring reasonable public access. Reasonable public access includes accommodations
made for fishing operations during fishing season. Any Controlled Access measures shall be
indicated on the Lessee’s Development Plan.
11.20.720 Use Charges.
Lessee shall make reasonable and non-discriminatory charges to the public for use of any of its
facilities.
11.20.780 Penalties.
(a) It is unlawful for any person to violate any of the provisions of this chapter and upon
conviction thereof shall be fined as provided for violations in KMC 13.05.010. Each day such
violation is committed or permitted to continue shall constitute a separate offense and shall
be punishable as such hereunder.
(b) In addition to or as an alternative to the above penalty provision, the City may impose a
civil penalty in an amount as provided by KMC 13.05.010 per day for the violation of any
provision of this chapter and seek injunctive relief for any infraction thereof for which the
offending party will be charged for reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred by the City
as awarded by the court.
(c) Nothing in this section shall be deemed to restrict the City’s exercise of any of its rights
pursuant to the lease agreement including those enumerated in KMC 11.20.220 and KMC
11.20.240 hereof.
11.20.790 Tideland Leases for Shore Fisheries.

Page 202

leases for shore fisheries on land owned by the State, the City may amend the annual rental

The Senior Center Dining Room Flooring Project began this month and with it came much
excitement! While daily activities were limited, home and congregate meals were able to be
served throughout the project. The Card/Library Room was set up to serve as a makeshift
dining room and the kitchen staff created and transported meals buffet style. We were expecting
smaller crowds during this time, but instead had full tables almost every day. The seniors loved
it and said it felt like they were “picnicking” inside the Senior Center.
The new flooring is beautiful and meets the daily needs of our program. The Dining Room is a
multi-purpose room and utilized throughout each day. The Growing Strong Exercise Class
meets three mornings a week and has 30-40 individuals participating. Previously, the amount
of space available for this activity was confined. This class now has space to move on a level
floor without disturbing those around them. They are delighted with the new space!
Thank you to the City of Kenai, the Rasmuson Foundation and a few private sponsors for
helping this project come to fruition. Thank you to the City of Kenai Public Works/Building
Department and Kenai Parks & Recreation Department for your help in moving furniture all
around the Center as we created room for the flooring work.
With the 2018 Atrium Rebuild and the 2020 Flooring Project, the Senior Center Dining Room is
a beautiful space for our senior population as they enjoy their retirement days in our beloved
State and City.

PRESERVING HISTORY
It happens to me from time to time as I meander through my normal
daily routines, that something unexpected will come to my attention
and consume time and thought that I had not been expecting to
spend. As I have become increasingly interested in the history of Ke-
nai over the last four decades, I occasionally run across a little gem of
information that puts another piece of the puzzle into place.
Recently there have been two such occasions that answered some
questions that I’d been puzzling over for quite a few years. The sub-
ject of this month’s newsletter is one of them. Agriculture in and
around Kenai has generally been a sketchy enterprise due to the
weather influenced by proximity to Cook Inlet. Homesteading here
was accomplished by some dancing around the requirements and
meeting the bare minimums. Few of the attempted crops provided
any meaningful revenue for the individuals or the community, unlike
the Sterling area, which had greater success due to their warmer
summers. Our experience was more like “been there”, “done that”,
and putting the acquired land to other uses, such as subdividing and
selling. If you drive off the main roads north of Kenai, however, you
can still see some remnants of the attempts that were made. It con-
tinues to interest me how early information about the impracticabil-
ity of agriculture in this area didn’t stop people from trying anyway.

As a result of the publication of the following article in the Peninsula Clarion by Matt Browser in the
Refuge Notebook section, dated January 10, 2020, I responded by sending the author an article from
the Kenai Historical Society that was published in February 2014. I posed the thought to him that as a
result of that early exploration of Kenai in 1897 -98, the establishment of an agricultural experiment
station was perhaps implemented. The two events may not have been related, but the proximity of the
dates would certainly suggest otherwise.

The following is a reprint of an article in the Kenai Historical Society Newsletter for
February 2014 that discusses an Agricultural Station that existed in Kenai at the turn of
the century beginning in 1899. The article begins by talking about how the Society had
been unpacking items stored for a number of years, and coming across the Alaska (in
Kenai) Agricultural Experiment Station.
******************************************************************************
The following information comes from a “treasure” I unearthed from one of the boxes, plus a little
additional research I did via computer. I was unaware that Kenai was home to an Alaska Agricultural
Experiment Station from 1899 to 1908 until I came across a binder that was put together about 35
years ago by a former Kenai Historical member named Frost Jones. I was aware of Frost as a painter,
but apparently she was involved in the Kenai Historical Society and had somehow learned of the exist-
ence of this station. She wanted to obtain a copy of a 1902 government bulletin that she had seen
years ago, but no longer had access to. She wrote to the Cooperative Extension Service and they for-
warded her letter to the University, and eventually she obtained a Xerox copy of part of a U.S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture Annual Report of the Office of Experiment Station.
From some internet research I did, I learned that in 1897 Congress instructed the Department of Agri-
culture to investigate the agricultural potential of Alaska. It was decided to establish an agricultural
experiment station in Alaska and a Dr. Georgeson headed the effort by opening a station in Sitka in
1898, with a 2nd station established in Kodiak. By 1899 a 3rd station was established in Kenai. Additional
stations were later added in Rampart and Copper Center in Alaska’s interior.
The Kenai station was under the direction of a Mr. H.P. Nielsen. In October of 1902, he submitted the
following report for the work accomplished during the year:
CLEARING
In addition to work with the experimental crops on the 7 acres previously broken, 8 acres have been
cleared of trees, stumps, and brush, broken, and put in condition for seeding next spring, and the
whole clearing has been fenced.
GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS
Several improvements have been made, mostly in the line of additions to equipment. A 20-shoe
press drill was added last spring, and used in seeding all the field grains. Drilling is a great improve-
ment over broadcasting, owing to the loose character of the soil. A seed cleaner has been added this
fall, and will be used in cleaning this season’s crops. The log house on the station has been complet-
ed and is now quite comfortable. A milch cow and a calf were added to the station herd in July. The
cattle now belonging to the station consist of 2 work oxen, 1 yearling steer, 1 cow, and one 4 1/2 –
months old heifer calf. The stable has been rebuilt to accommodate all of the stock. A corral has
been built adjoining the stable.
About 5 tons of native grass was cut and cured and stacked in July about half of it has been brought
home.
Page 234
Page 235
The work of the station was continued long enough to prove: First, that grain can not be successfully
matured in that region---at least not until varieties are developed which can prosper in the compara-
tively cool summers. Second that the hardy vegetables---kale, cabbage, turnips, potatoes, etc.---can
be grown there very successfully; also that the berry fruits, raspberries, currants, and gooseberries,
can be grown there. Third, it was proved that cattle can be reared in that location, and that butter
and cheese of good quality can be made from the milk of cattle kept there. Fourth, it was proved
that hay can be made not only from the native grass, which is abundant wherever the spruce forest
does not usurp the surface of the land, but that grain hay can be made in abundance with certainty
and success every year.
Below is a picture I located of Frost Jones reading some of the histories she collected.
The relevance of both the article in the Clarion, and the reprint of the 2014 article, has to do with our
speaker for the February meeting. Pastor Benjamin Phelps has worked on compiling the history of the
Grace Lutheran Church located on Ciechanski Road. He has an interest in seeing local histories collected
and saved for the future. He will be presenting his project and his knowledge on how this can be done
by other organizations so that their participation in the community is not “lost in archives “. The collec-
tion and preservation of such histories should be the focus of groups such as ours, and the members
should be making that their primary goal. I would like to give credit and everlasting thanks to past KHS
members such as Frost Jones, Jettie Peterson, Mary Ford, and others who took the time to research and
organize information in order to keep it available for the future. We can learn from and about our past,
but only if it continues to be kept available.

KENAI HISTORIC SOCIETY
Our Organization
There has been a Historic Society
since the days before Kenai becom-
ing a city. The Society was formed a
few years before Statehood in 1959,
and then went inactive in the early
60’s. It restarted in the latter part of
the 60’s and has met regularly since.
The Society had a museum in Fort
Kenay for some years, and then
continued to meet after that closed.
The non-profit Society implemented
and operates the Kenai Historic
Cabins Park, open for tours in the
summer months. We have office
space at the Moosemeat John cabin,
but are not open to the public in
that building. Our member meetings
are Sept., Nov., Dec., Jan., Feb.,
Mar., and April at the Kenai Visitor
Center. For Oct. and May, we meet
with the Kenai Peninsula Historical
Association. Please check the Meet-
ings and Announcements section on
this page for date information.

KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH
ORDINANCE 2020-03
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING KPB 5.18 SALES TAX CODE AND ENACTING KPB
5.19 UNIFORM REMOTE SELLER SALES TAX CODE
WHEREAS, the inability to effectively collect sales tax on sales of personal property, products
or services transferred or delivered into Alaska by sellers who do not have a
physical presence in the borough (“remote seller”) is eroding the sales tax base of
Alaska communities and resulting in revenue losses that are causing imminent harm
to residents through the loss of critical funding for local education; and
WHEREAS, the harm from the loss of revenue is especially problematic in Alaska because the
state has no broad-based sales tax, and sales tax revenues are essential in funding
the provision of services by local governments; and
WHEREAS, the failure to collect tax on remote sales creates artificial market distortions and
competitive advantages for remote sellers by perpetuating tax shelters for
businesses that limit their physical presence in the state or its municipalities but still
sell goods and services to local consumers without collecting sales tax, something
that becomes easier and more prevalent as technology continues to advance; and
WHEREAS, the structural advantages for remote sellers, including the absence of point -of-sale
tax collection, combined with the general growth of online retail sales, means that
the erosion of the sales tax base is a growing problem that will only worsen in the
near future if the borough is not able to legally collect remote seller sales tax within
the framework of current United States Supreme Court case law; and
WHEREAS, the failure to effectively collect sales tax on remote or internet-based sales results
in the creation of incentives for businesses to avoid a physical presence in the
borough, resulting in less jobs and increasing the share of taxes paid by those
consumers who buy from competitors with a physical presence in the borough; and
WHEREAS, remote sellers who make a substantial number of deliveries into or have large gross
revenues from Alaska benefit extensively from the Alaska market, affecting the
economy generally, as well as local infrastructure; and
WHEREAS, the recent decision by the United States Supreme Court in South Dakota v. Wayfair
(“Wayfair”) allows for the amendment of the sales tax code to account for remote
sellers who do not have a physical presence in the borough, but do have a taxable
connection with the borough; and
Page 2 of 30
Ordinance 2020-03 New Text Underlined; [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED] Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska
Page 2 of 27
WHEREAS, the Wayfair decision provides guidance that includes the defensibility of a single-
level statewide administration of remote sales tax collection and remittance so long
as the law is not retroactive in its application and provides a safe harbor to sellers
who have limited sales or transactions in Alaska; and
WHEREAS, in order to implement a single-level statewide sales tax administration, numerous
local taxing jurisdictions within Alaska worked together to establish an
intergovernmental entity known as the Alaska Remote Seller Sales Tax
Commission (the “Commission”); and
WHEREAS, currently 23 municipalities in Alaska are members of the Commission; and
WHEREAS, the function and powers of the Commission are set forth in the Alaska
Intergovernmental Remote Seller Sales Tax Agreement (the “Agreement”), a
cooperative agreement between Commission members; and
WHEREAS, as part of the process to implement a remote seller sales tax code and pursuant to
Resolution 2019-056, the borough signed the Agreement and is currently a full
member of the Commission; and
WHEREAS, five of the incorporated cities within the borough are members of the Commission;
and
WHEREAS, representatives from the borough, the City of Soldotna, and the City of Kenai also
currently hold three of the seven Board of Director seats on the Commission; and
WHEREAS, under the terms of the Agreement, in order to maintain membership in the
Commission, local governments must enact the Uniform Remote Seller Sales Tax
Code (“Uniform Code”) as adopted by the Commission’s Board of Directors;
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors adopted the Uniform Code at its meeting on January 6, 2020;
and
WHEREAS, the Uniform Code will govern the collection and remittance of municipal sales tax
applicable to remote or internet-based sales; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of the Uniform Code is to comply with guidance in Wayfair by
providing statewide threshold criteria, streamlined single-level tax administration
for remote sellers, and no retroactive application; and
WHEREAS, the Uniform Code will provide for streamlined remote sales tax collection and
remittance process which is necessary to avoid claims that local municipal tax
unduly burdens interstate sellers; and
Page 3 of 30
Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska New Text Underlined; [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED] Ordinance 2020-03
Page 3 of 27
WHEREAS, this ordinance will adopt the Uniform Code, amend current borough sales tax code
for consistency, and authorize the Commission to administer the remote sales tax
collection and remittance for the borough; and
WHEREAS, this is the culmination of a process that began in June of 2019 and is the last step
before municipal tax collected by remote sellers can be remitted to the borough
through the Commission; and
WHEREAS, in light of the Wayfair decision, failure to adopt a uniform, streamlined, remote
seller sales tax code will jeopardize the ability of the borough and its cities to collect
tax on remote sales;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KENAI
PENINSULA BOROUGH:
SECTION 1. That KPB 5.18.450(A) is hereby amended as follows:
5.18.450. - Tax jurisdiction Point of Taxation.
A. The rate of tax to be added to the sale price is based on the place of sale. The place of sale of
goods and merchandise is the location of the [RETAIL OUTLET] physical presence at which
or from which delivery was made. This provision applies to goods delivered to buyers within
the borough and to goods delivered to buyers outside the borough but within the state of
Alaska. If the invoice includes a charge for installation, then the place of the sale for the goods
and service is the retail outlet at which or from which delivery was made. When goods are
delivered into the borough from a point outside of the borough and the seller maintains an
ongoing physical presence in the borough, then the location of the seller's in-borough presence
will determine the place of sale. [IF A SELLER HAS NO ONGOING PHYSICAL
PRESENCE IN THE BOROUGH BUT HAS ESTABLISHED NEXUS WITH THE
BOROUGH, THE POINT OF DELIVERY WILL DETERMINE THE PLACE OF SALE. IF
THE SELLER HAS NO ONGOING PHYSICAL PRESENCE IN, OR NEXUS WITH, THE
BOROUGH THE SALE IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE BOROUGH SALES TAX. FOR
PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION THE FOLLOWING TERMS ARE DEFINED AS SHOWN
BELOW:
1. "NEXUS" MEANS THE SELLER HAS ESTABLISHED A TAXABLE
CONNECTION WITHIN THE BOROUGH BY USE OF MARKETING
TECHNIQUES, SUCH AS DIRECTED ADVERTISING IN THE BOROUGH VIA
TELEPHONE OR INTERNET, OR DOOR -TO-DOOR SALES WITHIN THE
BOROUGH, OR BY USE OF CONTRACT WORKERS OR CONTRACT OR
COMMISSION AGENTS OR BUSINESSES, WHICH ARE ASSOCIATED WITH
THE SELLER'S EFFORTS TO ESTABLISH OR MAINTAIN A MARKET FOR
ITS GOODS OR SERVICES, DELIVER THOSE GOODS OR SERVICES, OR
PROVIDE WARRANTY OR OTHER REPAIR OR RETURN SERVICES IN THE
BOROUGH.

Ordinance 2020-03 New Text Underlined; [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED] Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska
Page 4 of 27
2. THE "POINT OF DELIVERY" WHERE THERE IS NO ONGOING PHYSICAL
PRESENCE IN THE BOROUGH IS THE PLACE WHERE PHYSICAL
POSSESSION OF THE GOODS IS TRANSFERRED TO THE CUSTOMER.]
…
SECTION 2. That KPB 5.18.680 is hereby enacted as follows:
5.18.680 Uniform Remote Seller Sales Tax Code
Sellers with no physical presence in the borough that have remote or internet-based sales in the
borough and sellers with a physical presence in the borough that have remote or internet -based
sales within other taxing jurisdictions in Alaska are subject to KPB 5.19 instead of KPB 5.18.
SECTION 3. That KPB 5.19 is enacted as follows:
KPB 5.19. Uniform Remote Seller Sales Tax Code
5.19.010. Interpretation.
A. In order to prevent evasion of the sales taxes and to aid in its administration, it is presumed
that all sales and services by a person or entity engaging in business are subject to the sales
tax.
B. The application of the tax levied under this Code shall be broadly construed and shall favor
inclusion rather than exclusion.
C. Exemptions from the tax levied under this Code or from the taxing jurisdiction shall be
narrowly construed against the claimant and allowed only when such exemption clearly
falls within an exemption defined in this Code or the taxing jurisdiction’s Code.
D. The scope of this Code shall apply to remote sellers or marketplace facilitators, delivering
products or services to Member municipalities adopting this Code, within the state of
Alaska.
5.19.020. Title to Collected Sales Tax.
Upon collection by the remote seller or marketplace facilitator, title to collected sales tax vests in
the Commission for remittance to the taxing jurisdiction. The remote seller or marketplace
facilitator remits collected sales tax to the Commission on behalf of the taxing jurisdiction, from
whom that power is delegated, in trust for the taxing jurisdiction and is accountable to the
Commission and taxing jurisdiction.
5.19.030. Imposition – Rate.
A. To the fullest extent permitted by law, a sales tax is levied and assessed on all remote
sales where delivery is made within the local taxing jurisdiction(s) that is a Member,
within the state of Alaska.
Page 5 of 30
Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska New Text Underlined; [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED] Ordinance 2020-03
Page 5 of 27
B. The applicable tax shall be added to the sales price.
C. The tax rate added to the sale price shall be the tax rate for the taxing jurisdiction(s) where
the property or product is sold, or service that was rendered is received, and based on the
date the property or product was sold or the date the service rendered was received.
D. An Address and Tax Rate Database will be made available to remote sellers and
marketplace facilitators, indicating the appropriate tax rate to be applied.
E. The tax assessed shall be consistent with relevant jurisdictional tax caps, single unit sales,
and exemptions.
F. When a sale is made on an installment basis, the applicable sales tax shall be collected at
each payment, calculated at the sales tax rate in effect, and with the cap applied, at the
time of the original sale or the date the service is rendered, based on the local jurisdictions’
Code(s).
G. When a sales transaction involves placement of a single order with multiple deliveries
made at different points in time that are separately invoiced, the applicable sales tax shall
be collected on each separately invoiced delivery, calculated at the sales tax rate in effect,
and with the cap applied, at the time of the original sale or the date the service is rendered.
5.19.040. Obligation to Collect Tax - Threshold Criteria.
A. Any remote seller or marketplace facilitator must collect and remit sales tax in compliance
with all applicable procedures and requirements of law, provided the remote seller or
marketplace facilitator has met one of the following Threshold Criteria (“Threshold
Criteria”) in the previous calendar year:
1. The remote seller’s statewide gross sales, including the seller’s marketplace
facilitator’s statewide gross sales, from the sale(s) of property, products or services
delivered into the state meets or exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000); or
2. The remote seller, including the seller’s marketplace facilitator, sold property,
products, or services delivered into the state in two hundred (200) or more separate
transactions.
B. For purposes of determining whether the Threshold Criteria are met, remote sellers or
marketplace facilitators shall include all gross sales, from all sales of goods, property,
products, or services rendered within the state of Alaska.
5.19.050. No Retroactive Application.
The obligations to collect and remit sales tax required by this chapter are applicable at the effective
date of the ordinance adopting the Alaska Remote Seller Sales Tax Code.
5.19.060. Payment and Collection.
Page 6 of 30
Ordinance 2020-03 New Text Underlined; [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED] Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska
Page 6 of 27
Pursuant to this Code, taxes imposed shall be due and paid by the buyer to the remote seller or
marketplace facilitator at the time of the sale of property or product or date service is rendered, or
with respect to credit transactions, at the time of collection. It shall be the duty of each remote
seller or marketplace facilitator to collect the taxes from the buyer and to hold those taxes in trust
for the taxing authority of the taxing jurisdiction. Failure by the remote seller or marketplace
facilitator to collect the tax shall not affect the remote seller’s, or marketplace facilitator’s,
responsibility for payment to the Commission.
5.19.070. Remote Seller and Marketplace Facilitator Registration Requirement.
A. If a remote seller’s gross statewide sales within the last calendar year meets or exceeds the
Threshold Criteria, the remote seller shall register with the Commission. If a marketplace
facilitator’s gross statewide sales within the last calendar year meets or exceeds the
Threshold Criteria, the marketplace facilitator shall register with the Commission.
B. A remote seller or marketplace facilitator meeting the Threshold Criteria shall apply for a
certificate of sales tax registration within thirty (30) calendar days of the effective date of
this Code or within thirty (30) calendar days of meeting the Threshold Criteria whichever
occurs second. Registration shall be to the Commission on forms prescribed by the
Commission.
C. An extension may be applied for and granted based on criteria established by the
Commission, based on evidence produced to describe time necessary to update software or
other technical needs, not to exceed ninety (90) days.
D. Upon receipt of a properly executed application, the Commission shall confirm
registration, stating the legal name of the remote seller or marketplace facilitator, the
primary address, and the primary sales tax contact name and corresponding title. The
failure of the Commission to confirm registration does not relieve the remote seller or
marketplace facilitator of its duty to collect and remit sales tax.
E. Each business entity shall have a sales tax registration under the advertised name.
F. The sales tax certificate is non-assignable and non-transferable.
5.19.080. Tax Filing Schedule.
A. All remote sellers or marketplace facilitators subject to this Code shall file a return on a
form or in a format prescribed by the Commission and shall pay the tax due.
B. Filing of sales tax returns are due monthly; quarterly filing is optional upon application
and approval by the Commission, consistent with the code of the local jurisdiction.
C. A remote seller or marketplace facilitator who has filed a sales tax return will be presumed
to be making sales in successive periods unless the remote seller or marketplace facilitator
Page 7 of 30
Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska New Text Underlined; [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED] Ordinance 2020-03
Page 7 of 27
files a return showing a termination or sale of the business in accordance with this Code.
D. The completed and executed return, together with the remittance in full for the tax due,
shall be transmitted to and must be received by the Commission on or before midnight
Alaska Standard Time on the due date. Monthly returns are due the last day of the
immediate subsequent month. Quarterly returns are due as follows:
Quarter 1 (January – March) April 30
Quarter 2 (April – June) July 31
Quarter 3 (July – September) October 31
Quarter 4 (October – December) January 31
E. If the last day of the month following the end of the filing period falls on a Saturday,
Sunday, federal holiday or Alaska state holiday, the due date will be extended until the
next business day immediately following.
F. Any remote seller or marketplace facilitator holding a remote seller registration shall file
a sales tax return even though no tax may be due. This return shall show why no tax is
due. If the remote seller or marketplace facilitator intends to continue doing business a
return shall be filed reflecting no sales and a confirmation of the intent to continue doing
business and shall continue to do so each filing period until the entity ceases doing
business or sells the business. If the remote seller or marketplace facilitator intends to
cease doing business, a final return shall be filed along with a statement of business
closure.
G. The remote seller or marketplace facilitator shall prepare the return and remit sales tax to
the Commission on the same basis, cash or accrual, which the remote seller or marketplace
facilitator uses in preparing its federal income tax return. The remote seller or
marketplace facilitator shall sign the return, and transmit the return, with the amount of
sales tax and any applicable penalty, interest or fees that it shows to be due, to the
Commission.
H. Remote sellers and marketplace facilitators failing to comply with the provisions of this
Code shall, if required by the Commission and if quarterly filing has been chosen, file and
transmit collected sales taxes more frequently until such time as they have demonstrated
to the Commission that they are or will be able to comply with the provisions of this Code.
Six (6) consecutive on-time sales tax filings, with full remittance of the sales taxes
collected, shall establish the presumption of compliance and return to quarterly filing.
I. The preparer of the sales tax return shall keep and maintain all documentation supporting
any and all claims of exempted sales and purchases. Documentation for exempted sales
should include the number of the exemption authorization card presented by the buyer at
the time of the purchase; the date of the purchase; the name of the person making the
purchase; the organization making the purchase; the total amount of the purchase; and the
amount of sales tax exempted. This documentation shall be made available to the
Commission upon request. Failure to provide such documentation may invalidate that
Page 8 of 30
Ordinance 2020-03 New Text Underlined; [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED] Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska
Page 8 of 27
portion of the claim of exemption for which no documentation is provided.
5.19.090 Estimated Tax
A. In the event the Commission is unable to ascertain the tax due from a remote seller or
marketplace facilitator by reason of the failure of the remote seller or marketplace
facilitator to keep accurate books, allow inspection, or file a return, or by reason of the
remote seller or marketplace facilitator filing a false or inaccurate return, the Commission
may make an estimate of the tax due based on any evidence in their possession.
B. Sales taxes may also be estimated, based on any information available, whenever the
Commission has reasonable cause to believe that any information on a sales tax return is
not accurate.
C. A remote seller’s or marketplace facilitator’s tax liability under this Code may be
determined and assessed for a period of six (6) years after the date the return was filed or
due to be filed with the Commission. No civil action for the collection of such tax may be
commenced after the expiration of the six (6) year period except an action for taxes,
penalties and interest due from those filing periods that are the subject of a written demand
or assessment made within the six (6) year period, unless the remote seller or marketplace
facilitator waives the protection of this section.
D. The Commission shall notify the remote seller or marketplace facilitator, in writing, that
the Commission has estimated the amount of sales tax that is due from the remote seller
or marketplace facilitator. The Commission shall serve the notice on the remote seller or
marketplace facilitator by delivering the notice to the remote seller’s or marketplace
facilitator’s place of business, or by mailing the notice by certified mail, return receipt
requested, to the remote seller’s or marketplace facilitator’s last known mailing address.
A remote seller or marketplace facilitator who refuses the certified mail will be considered
to have accepted the certified mail for purposes of service.
E. The Commission’s estimate of the amount of sales tax that is due from a remote seller or
marketplace facilitator shall become a final determination of the amount that is due unless
the remote seller or marketplace facilitator, within thirty (30) calendar days after service of
notice of the estimated tax:
1. Files a complete and accurate sales tax return for the delinquent periods supported by
satisfactory records and accompanied by a full remittance of all taxes, interest,
penalties, costs and other charges due; or
2. Files a written notice with the Commission appealing the estimated tax amount in
accordance with the appeal procedures.
3. Arguments or reasons for failure to timely file a return and remit taxes collected shall
not be considered a valid basis or grounds for granting an appeal. The basis and grounds
for granting an appeal of an assessment are:
Page 9 of 30
Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska New Text Underlined; [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED] Ordinance 2020-03
Page 9 of 27
a. The identity of the remote seller or marketplace facilitator is in error;
b. The amount of the debt is erroneous due to a clerical error (and the nature and extent
of the error is specified in the request for appeal); or
c. The remote seller or marketplace facilitator disputes the denial of exemption(s) for
certain sales.
F. The amount of sales tax finally determined to be due under this section shall bear interest
and penalty from the date that the sales tax originally was due, plus an additional civil
penalty of fifty dollars ($50) for each calendar month or partial month for which the amount
of sales tax that is due has been determined.
5.19.100. Returns – Filing Contents.
A. Every remote seller or marketplace facilitator required by this chapter to collect sales tax
shall file with the Commission upon forms furnished by the Commission a return setting
forth the following information with totals rounded to the nearest dollar:
1. Gross sales;
2. The nontaxable portions separately stating the amount of sales revenue attributable to
each class of exemption;
3. Computation of taxes to be remitted;
4. Calculated discount (if applicable) based on taxing jurisdiction’s code; and
5. Such other information as may be required by the Commission.
B. Each tax return remitted by a remote seller or marketplace facilitator shall be signed
(digital or otherwise) by a responsible individual who shall attest to the completeness and
accuracy of the information on the tax return.
C. The Commission reserves the right to reject a filed return for failure to comply with the
requirements of this Code for up to three (3) months from the date of filing. The
Commission shall give written notice to a remote seller or marketplace facilitator that a
return has been rejected, including the reason for the rejection.
5.19.110. Refunds.
A. Upon request from a buyer or remote seller or marketplace facilitator the Commission
shall provide a determination of correct tax rate and amount applicable to the transaction.
In the case of an overpayment of taxes, the remote seller or marketplace facilitator shall
process the refund and amend any returns accordingly.
Page 10 of 30
Ordinance 2020-03 New Text Underlined; [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED] Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska
Page 10 of 27
B. If the claimant is a remote seller or marketplace facilitator, and the tax refund is owed to
any buyer, the remote seller or marketplace facilitator submits, and the Commission
approves, a refund plan to all affected buyers.
C. The Taxing Jurisdictions may allow a buyer to request a refund directly from the Taxing
Jurisdiction.
5.19.120. Amended Returns.
A. A remote seller or marketplace facilitator may file an amended sales tax return, with
supporting documentation, and the Commission may accept the amended return, but only
in the following circumstances:
i. The amended return is filed within one (1) year of the original due date for the return;
and
ii. The remote seller or marketplace facilitator provides a written justification for
requesting approval of the amended return; and
iii. The remote seller or marketplace facilitator agrees to submit to an audit upon request
of the Commission.
B. The Commission shall notify the remote seller or marketplace facilitator in writing (by
email or otherwise) whether the Commission accepts or rejects an amended return,
including the reasons for any rejection.
C. The Commission may adjust a return for a remote seller or marketplace facilitator if, after
investigation, the Commission determines the figure included in the original returns are
incorrect; and the Commission adjusts the return within two (2) years of the original due
date for the return.
D. A remote seller or marketplace facilitator may file a supplemental sales tax return, with
supporting documentation, and the Commission may accept the supplemental return, but
only in the following circumstances:
i. The remote seller or marketplace facilitator provides a written justification for
requesting approval of the supplemental return; and
ii. The remote seller or marketplace facilitator agrees to submit to an audit upon request
of the Commission.

Page 11 of 27
5.19.130. Extension of Time to File Tax Return.
Upon written application of a remote seller or marketplace facilitator, stating the reasons therefor,
the Commission may extend the time to file a sales tax return but only if the Commission finds
each of the following:
1. For reasons beyond the remote seller’s or marketplace facilitator’s control, the remote
seller or marketplace facilitator has been unable to maintain in a current condition the
books and records that contain the information required to complete the return;
2. Such extension is a dire necessity for bookkeeping reasons and would avert undue hardship
upon the remote seller or marketplace facilitator;
3. The remote seller or marketplace facilitator has a plan to cure the problem that caused the
remote seller or marketplace facilitator to apply for an extension and the remote seller or
marketplace facilitator agrees to proceed with diligence to cure the problem;
4. At the time of the application, the remote seller or marketplace facilitator is not delinquent
in filing any other sales tax return, in remitting sales tax to the Commission or otherwise
in violation of this chapter;
5. No such extension shall be made retroactively to cover existing delinquencies.
5.19.140. Audits.
A. Any remote seller or marketplace facilitator who has registered with the Commission, who
is required to collect and remit sales tax, or who is required to submit a sales tax return is
subject to a discretionary sales tax audit at any time. The purpose of such an audit is to
examine the business records of the remote seller or marketplace facilitator in order to
determine whether appropriate amounts of sales tax revenue have been collected by the
remote seller or marketplace facilitator and remitted to the Commission.
B. The Commission is not bound to accept a sales tax return as correct. The Commission may
make an independent investigation of all retail sales or transactions conducted within the
State or taxing jurisdiction.
C. The records that a remote seller or marketplace facilitator is required to maintain under this
chapter shall be subject to inspection and copying by authorized employees or agents of
the Commission for the purpose of auditing any return filed under this chapter, or to
determine the remote seller’s or marketplace facilitator’s liability for sales tax where no
return has been filed.
D. In addition to the information required on returns, the Commission may request, and the
remote seller or marketplace facilitator must furnish, any reasonable information deemed
necessary for a correct computation of the tax.
Page 12 of 30
Ordinance 2020-03 New Text Underlined; [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED] Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska
Page 12 of 27
E. The Commission may adjust a return for a remote seller or marketplace facilitator if, after
investigation or audit, the Commission determines that the figures included in the original
return are incorrect, and that additional sales taxes are due; and the Commission adjusts
the return within two (2) years of the original due date for the return.
F. For the purpose of ascertaining the correctness of a return or the amount of taxes owed
when a return has not been filed, the Commission may conduct investigations, hearings
and audits and may examine any relevant books, papers, statements, memoranda, records,
accounts or other writings of any remote seller or marketplace facilitator at any reasonable
hour on the premises of the remote seller or marketplace facilitator and may require the
attendance of an y officer or employee of the remote seller or marketplace facilitator. Upon
written demand by the Commission, the remote seller or marketplace facilitator shall
present for examination, in the office of the Commission, such books, papers, statements,
memoranda, records, accounts and other written material as may be set out in the demand
unless the Commission and the person upon whom the demand is made agree to
presentation of such materials at a different place.
G. The Commission may issue subpoenas to compel attendance or to require production of
relevant books, papers, records or memoranda. If any remote seller or marketplace
facilitator refuses to obey any such subpoena, the Commissioner may refer the matter to
the Commission’s attorney for an application to the superior court for an order requiring
the remote seller or marketplace facilitator to comply therewith.
H. Any remote seller, marketplace facilitator, or person engaged in business who is unable or
unwilling to submit their records to the Commission shall be required to pay the
Commission for all necessary expenses incurred for the examination and inspection of their
records maintained outside the Commission.
I. After the completion of a sales tax audit, the results of the audit will be sent to the business
owner’s address of record.
J. In the event the Commission, upon completion of an audit, discovers more than five
hundred dollars ($500) in additional sales tax due from a remote seller or marketplace
facilitator resulting from a remote seller’s or marketplace facilitator’s failure to accurately
report sales and taxes due thereupon, the remote seller or marketplace facilitator shall bear
responsibility for the full cost of the audit. The audit fee assessment will be in addition to
interest and penalties applicable to amounts deemed to be delinquent by the Commission
at the time of the conclusion of the audit.
5.19.150. Audit protest.
A. If the remote seller or marketplace facilitator wishes to dispute the amount of the estimate,
or the results of an examination or audit, the remote seller or marketplace facilitator must
file a written protest with the Commission, within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of
the notice of estimated tax or results of an audit or examination. The protest must set forth:
Page 13 of 30
Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska New Text Underlined; [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED] Ordinance 2020-03
Page 13 of 27
1. The remote seller’s or marketplace facilitator’s justification for reducing or increasing
the estimated tax amount, including any missing sales tax returns for the periods
estimated; or
2. The remote seller’s or marketplace facilitator’s reasons for challenging the
examination or audit results.
B. In processing the protest, the Commission may hold an informal meeting or hearing with
the remote seller or marketplace facilitator, either on its own or upon request of the remote
seller or marketplace facilitator, and may also require that the remote seller or marketplace
facilitator submit to an audit, if one was not previously conducted or a more formal audit,
if an estimation audit was previously performed.
C. The Commission shall make a final written determination on the remote seller’s or
marketplace facilitator’s protest and mail a copy of the determination to the remote seller
or marketplace facilitator.
D. If a written protest is not filed within thirty (30) days of the date of the notice of estimated
tax or the result of a review, audit or examination, then the estimated tax, review, audit or
examination result shall be final, due and payable to the Commission.
5.19.160. Penalties and Interest for Late Filing.
A. A late filing fee of twenty-five dollars ($25) per month (or quarter) shall be added to all
late-filed sales tax reports in addition to interest and penalties.
B. Delinquent sales tax bear interest at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum until paid.
C. In addition, delinquent sales tax shall be subject to an additional penalty of 5% per month,
or fraction thereof, until a total of 20% of delinquent tax has been reached. The penalty
does not bear interest.
D. Penalties and interest shall be assessed and collected in the same manner as the tax is
assessed and collected, and applied first to penalties and interest, second to past due sales
tax.
E. The filing of an incomplete return, or the failure to remit all tax, shall be treated as the
filing of no return.
F. A penalty assessed under this section for the delinquent remittance of sales tax or failure
to file a sales tax return may be waived by the Commission, upon written application of
the remote seller or marketplace facilitator accompanied by a payment of all delinquent
sales tax, interest and penalty otherwise owed by the remote seller or marketplace
facilitator, within forty-five (45) calendar days after the date of delinquency. A remote
seller or marketplace facilitator may not be granted more than one (1) waiver of penalty
Page 14 of 30
Ordinance 2020-03 New Text Underlined; [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED] Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska
Page 14 of 27
under this subsection in any one calendar year. The Commission shall report such waivers
of penalty to the taxing jurisdiction, in writing.
5.19.170. Repayment Plans.
A. The Commission may agree to enter into a repayment plan with a delinquent remote seller
or marketplace facilitator. No repayment plan shall be valid unless agreed to by both
parties in writing.
B. A remote seller or marketplace facilitator shall not be eligible to enter into a repayment
plan with the Commission if the remote seller or marketplace facilitator has defaulted on
a repayment plan in the previous two (2) calendar years.
C. The repayment plan shall include a secured promissory note that substantially complies
with the following terms:
i. The remote seller or marketplace facilitator agrees to pay a minimum of ten
percent (10%) down payment on the tax, interest and penalty amount due. The
down payment shall be applied first to penalty, then to accumulated interest,
and then to the tax owed.
ii. The remote seller or marketplace facilitator agrees to pay the balance of the
tax, penalty and interest owed in monthly installments over a period not to
exceed two (2) years.
iii. Interest at a rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum shall accrue on the
principal sum due. Interest shall not apply to penalties owed or to interest
accrued at the time the repayment plan is executed or accruing during the term
of the repayment plan.
iv. If the remote seller or marketplace facilitator is a corporation or a limited
liability entity the remote seller or marketplace facilitator agrees to provide a
personal guarantee of the obligations under the repayment plan.
v. The remote seller or marketplace facilitator agrees to pay all future tax bills in
accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
vi. The remote seller or marketplace facilitator agrees to provide a security
interest in the form of a sales tax lien for the entire unpaid balance of the
promissory note to be recorded by the Commission at the time the repayment
plan is signed. The remote seller or marketplace facilitator shall be responsible
for the cost of recording the tax lien.
D. If a remote seller or marketplace facilitator fails to pay two (2) or more payments as
required by the repayment plan agreement, the remote seller or marketplace facilitator
shall be in default and the entire amount owed at the time of default shall become
Page 15 of 30
Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska New Text Underlined; [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED] Ordinance 2020-03
Page 15 of 27
immediately due. The Commission will send the remote seller or marketplace facilitator
a notice of default. The Commission may immediately foreclose on the sales tax lien or
take any other remedy available under the law.
5.19.180. Remote Seller or Marketplace Facilitator Record Retention.
Remote sellers or marketplace facilitators shall keep and preserve suitable records of all sales made
and such other books or accounts as may be necessary to determine the amount of tax which the
remote seller or marketplace facilitator is obliged to collect. Remote sellers or marketplace
facilitators shall preserve suitable records of sales for a period of six (6) years from the date of the
return reporting such sales, and shall preserve for a period of six (6) years all invoices of goods
and merchandise purchased for resale, and all such other books, invoices and records as may be
necessary to accurately determine the amount of taxes which the remote seller or marketplace
facilitator was obliged to collect under this chapter.
5.19.190. Cessation or Transfer of Business.
A. A remote seller or marketplace facilitator who sells, leases, conveys, forfeits, transfers or
assigns the majority of their business interest, including a creditor or secured party, shall
make a final sales tax return within thirty (30) days after the date of such conveyance.
B. At least ten (10) business days before any such sale is completed, the remote seller or
marketplace facilitator shall send to the Commission, by approved communication (email
confirmation, certified first-class mail, postage prepaid) a notice that the remote seller’s
or marketplace facilitator’s interest is to be conveyed and shall include the name, address
and telephone number of the person or entity to whom the interest is to be conveyed.
C. Upon notice of sale and disclosure of buyer, the Commission shall be authorized to
disclose the status of the remote seller’s or marketplace facilitator’s sales tax account to
the named buyer or assignee.
D. Upon receipt of notice of a sale or transfer, the Commission shall send the transferee a
copy of this Code with this section highlighted.
E. Neither the Commission’s failure to give the notice nor the transferee’s failure to receive
the notice shall relieve the transferee of any obligations under this section.
F. Following receipt of the notice, the Commission shall have sixty (60) days in which to
perform a final sales tax audit and assess sales tax liability against the seller of the
business. If the notice is not mailed at least ten (10) business days before the sale is
completed, the Commission shall have twelve (12) months from the date of the
completion of the sale or the Commission’s knowledge of the completion of the sale
within which to begin a final sales tax audit and assess sales tax liability against the seller
of the business. The Commission may also initiate an estimated assessment if the
requirements for such an assessment exist.
Page 16 of 30
Ordinance 2020-03 New Text Underlined; [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED] Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska
Page 16 of 27
G. A person acquiring any interest of a remote seller or marketplace facilitator in a business
required to collect the tax under this chapter assumes the liability of the remote seller or
marketplace facilitator for all taxes due the Commission, whether current or delinquent,
whether known to the Commission or discovered later, and for all interest, penalties, costs
and charges on such taxes.
H. Before the effective date of the transfer, the transferee of a business shall obtain from the
Commission an estimate of the delinquent sales tax, penalty and interest, if any, owed by
the remote seller or marketplace facilitator as of the date of the transfer, and shall withhold
that amount from the consideration payable for the transfer, until the remote seller or
marketplace facilitator has produced a receipt from the Commission showing that all tax
obligations imposed by this chapter have been paid. A transferee that fails to withhold the
amount required under this subsection shall be liable to the Commission and taxing
jurisdiction for the lesser of the amount of delinquent sales tax, penalty and interest due
from the remote seller or marketplace facilitator as of the date of transfer, and the amount
that the transferee was required to withhold.
I. In this section, the term “transfer” includes the following:
1. A change in voting control, or in more than fifty percent (50%) of the ownership
interest in a remote seller or marketplace facilitator that is a corporation, limited
liability company or partnership; or
2. A sale of all or substantially all the assets used in the business of the remote seller or
marketplace facilitator; or
3. The initiation of a lease, management agreement or other arrangement under which
another person becomes entitled to the remote seller’s or marketplace facilitator’s
gross receipts from sales, rentals or services.
J. Subsection H of this section shall not apply to any person who acquires their ownership
interest in the ongoing business as a result of the foreclosure of a lien that has priority
over the Commission’s sales tax lien.
K. Upon termination, dissolution or abandonment of a corporate business, any officer having
control or supervision of sales tax funds collected, or who is charged with responsibility
for the filing of returns or the payment of sales tax funds collected, shall be personally
liable for any unpaid taxes, interest, administrative costs and penalties on those taxes if
such officer willfully fails to pay or cause to be paid any taxes due from the corporation.
In addition, regardless of willfulness, each director of the corporation shall be jointly and
severally liable for unpaid amounts. The officer shall be liable only for taxes collected
which became due during the period he or she had the control, supervision, responsibility
or duty to act for the corporation. This section does not relieve the corporation of other
tax liabilities or otherwise impair other tax collection remedies afforded by law.
Page 17 of 30

Page 17 of 27
L. A remote seller or marketplace facilitator who terminates the business without the benefit
of a purchaser, successor or assign shall make a final tax return and settlement of tax
obligations within thirty (30) days after such termination. If a final return and settlement
are not received within thirty (30) days of the termination, the remote seller or
marketplace facilitator shall pay a penalty of one hundred dollars ($100), plus an
additional penalty of twenty-five dollars ($25) for each additional thirty- (30-) day period,
or part of such a period, during which the final return and settlement have not been made,
for a maximum of six (6) additional periods.
5.19.200. Use of Information on Tax Returns.

to be filed with the Commission under this Code, and all information contained therein,
shall be kept confidential and shall be subject to inspection only by:
1. Employees and agents of the Commission and taxing jurisdiction whose job
responsibilities are directly related to such returns, reports and information;
2. The person supplying such returns, reports and information; and
3. Persons authorized in writing by the person supplying such returns, reports and
information.
B. The Commission will release information described in subsection A of this section
pursuant to subpoena, order of a court or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction,
and where otherwise required by law to do so.

public inspection:
1. The name and address of sellers;
2. Whether a business is registered to collect taxes under this chapter;
3. The name and address of businesses that are sixty (60) days or more delinquent in filing
returns or in remitting sales tax, or both filing returns and remitting sales tax; and, if so
delinquent, the amount of estimated sales tax due, and the number of returns not filed.
D. The Commission may provide the public statistical information related to sales tax
collections, provided that no information identifiable to a particular remote seller or
marketplace facilitator is disclosed.
E. Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to prohibit the delivery to a person, or
their duly authorized representative, of a copy of any return or report filed by them, nor to
prohibit the publication of statistics so classified as to prevent the identification of
Page 18 of 30
Ordinance 2020-03 New Text Underlined; [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED] Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska
Page 18 of 27
particular buyers, remote sellers, or marketplace facilitators, nor to prohibit the furnishing
of information on a reciprocal basis to other agencies or political subdivisions of the state
or the United States concerned with the enforcement of tax laws.
F. Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to prohibit the disclosure through
enforcement action proceedings or by public inspection or publication of the name,
estimated balance due, and current status of payments, and filings of any remote seller or
marketplace facilitator or agent of any remote seller or marketplace facilitator required to
collect sales taxes or file returns under this chapter, who fails to file any return and/or remit
in full all sales taxes due within thirty (30) days after the required date for that business.
Entry into any agreement whether pursuant to the provisions of this chapter or otherwise
shall not act as any prohibition to disclosure of the records of that remote seller or
marketplace facilitator as otherwise provided in this chapter.
G. A prospective lessee or purchaser of any business or business interest may inquire as to the
obligation or tax status of any business upon presenting to the Commission a release of tax
information request signed by the authorized agent of the business.
H. All returns referred to in this chapter, and all data taken therefrom, shall be kept secure
from public inspection, and from all private inspection.
5.19.210. Violations.
A. A remote seller or marketplace facilitator that fails to file a sales tax return or remit sales
tax when due, in addition to any other liability imposed by this Code, shall pay to the
