SUBJECT:
Ordinance No. 3200-2021 — COVID CARES Act for Older Adults and
Their Caregivers 2021 Grant
The State of Alaska, Department of Health and Social Services, Division of Senior and Disabilities
Services requested proposals from current Senior and Disabilities Services (Title III) grantees to
provide services through the COVID Relief for Older Adults and their Caregivers program. The
intent of this grant is to provide disaster assistance related to relief services for Coronavirus
mitigation and/or health and safety services needed and for grant funds to ensure the health and
safety of older adults and their caregivers during the COVID-19 public health emergency.
We received an opportunity to apply for additional funds through an amendment to the COVID
Relief for Older Adults and their Caregivers Program. The funding from this grant is to be utilized
from April 1, 2021 — June 30, 2021. The Senior Center's application requested funding for a new
Alto -Sham holding oven, a commercial deep fryer, additional stainless tables, and reusable water
bottles for our senior population.
We anticipate hearing the final amount of the amendment any day. As the funds are to be spent
by June 30, 2021, we are requesting approval to introduce this Ordinance without the final amount
to ensure we can fulfill the grant timeline.
Your support for Ordinance No. 3200-2021 is greatly appreciated

DATE: April 1, 2021
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3200-2021 — Requested Amendments
Ordinance No. 3200-2021 as introduced at the March 17, 2021 Council meeting was to accept
additional funding from the State of Alaska for COVID -19 expenditures. It was believed at that
time the additional funding would be awarded through the COVID CARES Act for Older Adults
and their Caregivers 2021 Grant.
On March 31, 2021, after the Council Agenda was already published for the April 7, 2021 Council
Meeting, we were notified the State instead chose to award the additional funding through the
Department of Health & Social Services, Nutrition, Transportation, and Support Services (NTS)
FY21 Grant thus requiring amendments to the original ordinance prior to adoption.
Following are the amendments necessary to accurately revise the ordinance to reflect required
corrections:
Amend the title of the Ordinance to read:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, ACCEPTING AND
APPROPRIATING AN AMENDMENT TO A TITLE III GRANT PASSED THROUGH THE STATE
OF ALASKA FOR KENAI SENIOR CENTER EXPENDITURES IN SUPPORT OF ITS
RESPONSE TO THE COVID-19 PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY.
Amend the forth WHEREAS to read:
WHEREAS, the State of Alaska, Department of Health and Social Services, Division of Senior
and Disabilities Services requested proposals from current NTS grantees to provide additional
support services to older adults and people with disabilities in the community during the COVID-
19 Public Health Emergency; and,
Amend the fifth WHEREAS to read:
WHEREAS, the Kenai Senior Center has been awarded a $22,000 amendment to its FY21 NTS
grant for services offered beginning March 1, 2021 — June 30, 2021; and,
Delete the seventh and eighth WHEREAS's:
Replace $xx,xxx in Section 1 to $22,000.
Replace the Federal Grants amount in Section 2 from $xx,xxx to $22,000, Change the
Equipment amount from $xx,xxx to $18,000, and change the Supplies amount from $xx,xxx
to $4,000.
Thank you for your consideration and support.
