MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Scott Curtin
DATE: March 9, 2021
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3197-2021 — Capital Project Manager Position
The purpose of this memo is to request Council's approval to hire a Capital Projects Manager for
the Public Works Department as a new full-time salaried position. Currently, the Public Works
Director is responsible for all Capital Projects from inception to completion. With the development
of this past year's Capital Improvement Plan, which forecasted projects out in detail for the next
five years, and the continued ongoing assessments of our aging City facilities and assets, it has
become clear that the amount of projects in front of us supports the demand for this position.
Fulfillment of this position will allow the Public Works Department to better serve the City by
allowing for projects to be released and finished more quickly. The construction season is
relatively short, and the number of projects that would need to be ongoing at the same time has
proven to be too much for one individual to manage effectively.
The City Council should also be aware this position is intended to be funded directly by the
projects themselves. An additional appropriation of funds to the Public Works Administration is
not anticipated to be required at this time to cover this position.
Council's support is respectively requested, and I am available to answer any questions Council
may have.
