MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH:
Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM:
Tony Prior, Fire Chief
DATE:
April 12, 2021
SUBJECT:
Ordinance 3205-2021
The City of Kenai was awarded grant funding from the State of Alaska Homeland Security
Program (Ordinance 3093-2019), and $393,000 of the grant was an upgrade to the Base Station
Radio System for Kenai Dispatch Center and $45,000 to install Station Alerting Equipment at the
Airport Station (Station 2). During the installation of the new equipment at the Public Safety
building, by Pro -Comm, we experienced a partial loss of control of our apparatus bay doors at
Station 1 and all local controls of bay doors at the Airport Fire Station. Kachemak Electric was
consulted to figure a solution and regain operations of the apparatus bay doors and restore
operations to the status prior to changing/updating equipment. They were able to get the front bay
doors of Station 1 operational, but were unable to get rear doors of Station 1 operational. Old
wiring of the doors and electrical contacts were not replaced/upgraded, causing the loss of local
control after installation of the new radio system. It was recommended that we install new wiring
and reroute it into new components installed by Pro -Comm. With that upgrade we will also be
able to program the door functions into the Station Alerting system making functions identical to
the functions programmed at the Airport Fire Station.
Work has been completed at the airport station to connect Station Alerting to the functions of the
bay doors there, however, local control by dispatch center was lost.
We have received quotes totaling $10,643.00 for labor, materials, and equipment to complete
upgrades to our Public Safety building (Station 1). This will restore local control of the apparatus
bay doors at Station 1 and integrate Station Alerting operations of doors at Station 1.
We respectfully request your support of Ordinance 3205-2021
