MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
FROM: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
DATE: April 15, 2021
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3210-2021 – Salary Schedules
Ordinance 3210-2021 addresses a long-standing concern regarding the City’s employee salary
schedule. The Kenai Municipal Code requires that the salary schedule be adopted and appended
to the pay plan, and under this process, the ordinance does not go into effect until one month
after passage. It is also a requirement of Code that the City Council adopt a budget for the
following fiscal year no later than June 10. Because the salary schedule is an integral component
of the budget and should be considered concurrently with the budget, but is not effective until 30
days after adoption, the City is forced to adopt the budget a meeting earlier than Code allows.
This Ordinance would amend the process for adopting the Salary Schedule to allow adoption by
the budget Ordinance or resolution, which would ensure public notification and an opportunity to
be heard concerning the salary ranges and steps for City employees prior to its effective date as
well as allow for greater flexibility in adopting the budget for the following fiscal year.
Your consideration is appreciated.

WHEREAS, the current Classification Plan, that classifies employees by Class Code, Title and
Pay Range is in Kenai Municipal Code Chapter 23.50 and like the Salary Schedule in Code
requires an ordinance to amend which takes two meetings to enact and 30 more days after
enactment to become effective; and,
WHEREAS, the City Manager is responsible for administration of the Personnel Code and
preparing recommended revisions and amendments as necessary; and,
WHEREAS, concurrent adoption of the Salary Schedule and Classification Plan with the budget

WHEREAS, the budget document is an appropriating ordinance that becomes effective upon
enactment; and,
WHEREAS, by including the current fiscal year Salary Schedule and Classification Plan in Code,
which requires 30 days to become effective after enactment of any ordinance making
amendments, the City is prevented from adopting the budget for the following fiscal year after
June 1st as allowed by Kenai Municipal Code 7.25.010 (g), which allows the budget to be adopted

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
FROM: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
DATE: May 11, 2021
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3210-2021 – Salary Schedule Substitute
Ordinance 3210-2021 addresses a long-standing concern regarding the City’s employee salary
schedule, which is an integral component of the budget, and would amend the process for
adopting the Salary Schedule to allow adoption by the budget Ordinance or Resolution, which
would ensure public notification and an opportunity to be heard concerning the salary ranges
and steps for City employees prior to its effective date as well as allow for greater flexibility in
timing for adopting the budget.
In addition to the salary schedule, Code requires that the job classification plan be adopted by
Council by Ordinance with positions in both the Classified Service and Department Head Service
established by the annual budget or classification plan. Amending Code to remove the
Classification Plan to allow for adoption of the Plan through the ordinance adopting a budget for
the following fiscal year or by resolution was not included in Ordinance 3210-2021 but is a
necessary component in allowing greater flexibility in adopting the budget.
Substitute Ordinance 3210-2021 removes the Classification Plan from Code and allows it to be
included in the budget with the Salary Schedule and adoption by the budget ordinance or by
resolution, which ensures public notification and an opportunity to be heard concerning the
position class, title, and range for City employees.
Additionally, Substitute Ordinance 3211-2021, adopting the annual budget for the fiscal year
commencing July 1, 2021 and ending June 30, 2022, adopts the Salary Schedule and
Classification Plan.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Terry Eubank, Finance Director
DATE: May 11, 2021
SUBJECT: Ordinance 3211-2021 Adopting the FY22 Budget - Substitute
The purpose of this memo is to recommend movement of and enactment of Substitute Ordinance
3211-2021. A substitute is being provided to include adoption of the City’s Employee
Classification Plan with adoption of the Annual Budget for the City of Kenai, Alaska July 1-, 2021
– June 30, 2022 consistent with the provision of Ordinance 3210-2021. The following is a
summary of changes to employee class titles and pay ranges which have been included for your
consideration:
New Positions:
207 IT Desktop Support Technician Range 13
A new class title to reflect a new part-time position in the Finance Department to provide
City-wide Information Technology (IT) support
504 Recreation Center Worker Range 1
A new class title to reflect five new part-time positions in the Parks and Recreation
Department to provide assistance at the Recreation Center
Removed Positions:
507 Activities/Volunteer Coordinator Range 2.4
Ordinance 3179-2021 amended the position to add administrative support duties and fill
the vacant position with an Administrative Assistant II

Amended Positions:

Page 46
Page 2 of 2
Amended from “Sewer Treatment Plant Foreman” for consistency with other Wastewater
Treatment Plant class titles in Public Works
Pay Range Recalculation
The pay ranges for all positions were adjusted to eliminate rages with decimal points and
create consistency in the percentage change between ranges. Ranges below 3 were
recalibrated to a 5% change per range, and the minimum pay for a City position was set
at $12.75 per hour. All other pay ranges were renumbered, and the entire salary scale
was stretched to include 29 ranges where there were only 24 before. This change resulted
in minimal increase in compensation to positions that were below range 3 prior to this
change.
Creation of Temporary Employee Pay Table
The administration is recommending the addition of a temporary employee pay table.
Temporary employees are hired for a pre-established period, usually during peak
workloads and for not more than six months, and are ineligible for benefits and holiday
pay. A temporary employee pay table will allow adjustments to temporary positions without
impacting the pay range of permanent employees.
Expansion of Department Head Service Ranges
Additional pay ranges have been included for department head service employees to
include all department head positions of the City. In addition to adding additional ranges
to the table, all were renumbered consistent with the pay range recalculation noted
above.
Your support for movement and enactment of Ordinance 3211-2021 is respectfully requested.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
FROM: Council Members Winger and Glendening
DATE: April 26, 2021
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3213 – 2021 - City Employee COVID-19 Resilience Pay
On March 18, 2020 the City Council extended a local Disaster Emergency Declaration issued by
the City Manager to assist the City in managing the COVID-19 Pandemic. This Disaster
Emergency Declaration remains in effect, currently scheduled to end on June 1, 2021. During this
time, the City faced the unknown, and asked its employees to bravely work through the uncertainty
of this public health emergency. Employees were asked to step up, work additional shifts, take on
additional tasks and maintain flexibility in their work lives. Many employees experienced facility
closures, potential exposures, increased stress, and a constant evolution of changing procedures
and safety protocols. Many juggled a home life in flux that included schools closures, sports
and activity cancellations, day care facility closures, and quarantines.
Through everything, City employee resilience in delivering emergency responses and other
necessary City services ensured the recovery the City is beginning to experience. City employees
continue to play a critical role in the response to the public health emergency.
The amount of $175 a month for full time permanent employees, requires a $300,000
appropriation. The three employees working directly for the City Council are excluded from these
payments. While this is not true “Hazard Pay” it results in a small hourly increase, similar to other
hazard pay programs across the country that result in a $1 to $2 an hour raise. This sum seems
reasonable in light of other recovery programs utilizing CARES Act funding, with the
understanding that this program is not directly funded through the CARES Act.
We kindly ask for your support for this Ordinance, recognizing the efforts of City employees in
their work throughout this pandemic and providing a modest retroactive compensation increase
for them.

RESOLUTION NO. 2021-31
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, AMENDING ITS
COMPREHENSIVE SCHEDULE OF RATES, CHARGES, AND FEES TO INCORPORATE
CHANGES INCLUDED IN THE FY2022 BUDGET TO INCLUDE ADJUSTING TERMINAL FEES
CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY’S FIVE-YEAR AIRLINE OPERATING AGREEMENT, AIRPORT
RESERVE LAND ANNUAL LEASE RATES, AND ADJUSTING THE MONTHLY RENTAL RATES
AT VINTAGE POINTE, ELIMINATING THE FIRE DEPARTMENTS FEE FOR MEDICAL
TREATMENT WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION OF THE PATIENT, CREATING A FEE FOR
INTERNAL APARTMENT MOVES AT VINTAGE POINT MANOR, NO FEES ASSOCIATED
WITH THE CITY’S OPERATION OF THE KENAI RECREATION CENTER, ADDING A
CONFERENCE ROOM RENTAL FEE FOR THE AIRPORT AND AMENDING THE CITY’S
LIBRARY FEES.
WHEREAS, the Administration negotiated and implemented a five-year Airline Operating
Agreement which was effective July 1, 2020; and,
WHEREAS, this Airline Operating agreement included a 5% annual increase in terminal rents for
exclusive and non-exclusive space, signatory landing fees, and signatory apron space; and,
WHEREAS, non-signatory landing fees are 30% higher than the signatory rate and will be
impacted proportionally by its increase; and,
WHEREAS, a new conference room was constructed during the terminal rehabilitation project
which is available for rent necessitating the addition of fees associated with its rental to the fee
schedule; and,
WHEREAS, the proposed increase to Airport Reserve Land Annual Lease Rates is
commensurate with the 2020 annual change in Consumer Price Index for Anchorage and is a
required rate change under Kenai Municipal Code 21.10.090(b); and;
WHEREAS, a rental rate study for Vintage Pointe was completed in 2020 showing that unit rents
were below market value by an average $63.48 per month with the lowest monthly difference
being $39.17 per month and the highest difference being $94.61 per month; and,
WHEREAS, below market monthly rental rates at Vintage Pointe are budgeted to increase in

WHEREAS, charging market rates will assist in providing adequate funds for ongoing and long-
term maintenance of the facility; and,
WHEREAS, there is no current Alaska Medicaid criteria or requirement to bill a medical patient of
which our Emergency Medical Services respond to, but do not transport for further medical care;
and,
WHEREAS; these are very limited events, that the Fire Department has customarily not charged
for in the past; and,
WHEREAS; we request the Non-Transport fee be removed from the Fee Schedule; and,
WHEREAS, an internal move within Vintage Pointe Manor can often be a lengthy, time
consuming, and costly process, and charging a $500.00 fee will offset the City’s cost for painting,
repairs, carpet cleaning, detailing, and loss of rental revenue; and,
WHEREAS, the proposed amendments to the City’s library fee schedule adjust default fees for
damaged, lost, or stolen items to reflect estimated average retail prices; and
WHEREAS, new default fees are added to include new and existing formats and resources not
previously in the fee schedule; and,

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Terry Eubank, Finance Director
DATE: May 11, 2021
SUBJECT: Resolution 2021-31 Amending Airport Fees for FY2022.
The purpose of this memo is to recommend adoption of Resolution 2021-31 which will amend the
City’s Schedule of Rates, Charges and Fees for FY2022. The Administration is recommending
increases of 5% to airport fees associated with its Airline Operating Agreement which was
negotiated last year and included 5% increases in fees each year of the agreement. Impacted
fees include:
FY2022 FY2021 Change
Landing Fees
Signatory $1.79 $1.70 $0.09
Non-Signatory $2.32 $2.21 $0.11
Terminal Exclusive Use Space (per square foot per year) – Non-signatory rates are 30% higher
Signatory $35.54 $33.85 $1.69
Terminal Joint Use Space (per square foot per year) – Non-signatory rates are 30% higher
Signatory $21.54 $20.51 $1.03
Terminal apron parking and GSE storage space (per square foot)
Signatory $0.54 $0.52 $0.02
In addition to these fees changes new fees are proposed for rental of the new airport conference
room. Fees include:
Conference Room Fees
0 – 2 hours $50.00
2 – 4 hours $100.00
4 – 8 hours $200.00
More than 8 hours (same day
and no later than 10:00pm) $300.00
Cleaning fee (if room is not cleaned) $100.00
Your support for these fee changes is respectfully requested.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Ryan Foster, Planning Director
DATE: May 10, 2021
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2021-31 FYI 21 – Lease Rates
Resolution 2021-31 will adjust lease rates for parcels within the Airport Reserve published in the
City’s fee schedule. Kenai Municipal Code 21.10.090(b) states that lease rates within the Airport
Reserve shall be, “adjusted annually based on the rate of inflation determined by the consumer
price index.” The consumer price index (CPI) is defined in Kenai Municipal Code 21.10.015 as
follows: ““Consumer price index (CPI)” means the CPI for all urban consumers (CPI-U) for
Anchorage, Alaska.” The new proposed lease rates reflect this annual change in rent based upon
CPI, which is an approximate decrease of 1.1% for FY22.
No parcels were deleted from the proposed FY22 fee schedule. Parcel 04324030 and Parcel
04336049 have been added to the schedule since they have pending leases that have not been
executed yet. The fee schedule only lists the lease rates for vacant parcels within the Airport
Reserve available to lease.
Thank you for your consideration.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Kathy Romain, Senior Center Director
DATE: May 11, 2021
SUBJECT: FY22 Vintage Pointe Rental Rates & Internal Move Fee
This MEMO is in support of Resolution No. 2021-31, adjusting rental rates and introducing an
internal move fee at Vintage Pointe Manor.
Vintage Pointe Manor was built with the intention of being an independent senior housing facility
with rents to be based upon market rates. Earlier this year, the City commissioned a market rate
study that was performed by Reliant, LLC., which determined rents were below market rate. The
City instituted a plan to increase rents to market rates by increasing rents annually by a maximum
of $35.00 until market rate was reached and then annually by the change in the Anchorage
Consumer Price Index. Any future rental agreements will be at market rate. This plan has worked
well after the previous market study.
Oftentimes a tenant will move into Vintage Pointe Manor taking what is currently available and
not their preference. They are then placed on an internal wait list for the desired apartment size
or location. When an apartment becomes available, the internal wait list is referenced before
beginning the process of filling the apartment from the external waiting list.
An internal move can often be a lengthy, time consuming, and costly process as now two
apartments need to be prepared for new occupants. This will often bring about a domino effect
with other tenants who also have been waiting for another apartment, sometimes resulting in 1-3
internal moves at the same time. The proposed $500.00 fee is not meant to discourage internal
moves, but only to cover the City’s costs of painting, necessary repairs, carpet cleaning, detailing,
and loss of rental revenue.
Thank you for your consideration.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Tony Prior, Fire Chief
DATE: May 7, 2021
SUBJECT: Non-Transport fee for Ambulance
The current fee schedule has a category for the City to charge for emergency ambulance calls
that result in a Non-Transport. It has been customary in the past that we have never charged this
fee as our billing is by the mile, and only charged at the point from the emergency scene to the
hospital. We are then able to bill at a Basic Life Support (BLS) or Advanced Life Support (ALS)
level. We are recommending that we remove this fee from the City’s fee schedule.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Katja Wolfe, Library Director
DATE: April 27, 2021
SUBJECT: Resolution 2021-31 proposing changes to the Library Fee Schedule
for FY 2022
This memo is in reference to the proposed changes in the Library Fee Schedule for FY 2022.
The purpose of the proposed changes is to remove fees for items no longer in our collection (i.e.,
CD-ROMs, cassette containers, FM transmitters, and hang-up bags) and for service that are no
longer offered (i.e., fees for rebinding books). Additionally, we recommend the inclusion of fees
for current collection items such as DVD sets, equipment, and a variety of kits, as well as
replacement charges for processing supplies such as Mylar jackets, audiobook cases, and DVD
cases. Lastly, we have updated the default fees for library materials to current retail estimates.
The default fees in this schedule are used for lost, stolen or damaged materials only when no
retail value is available.
Thank you for your consideration.

operation July 1, 2021.

RESOLUTION NO. 2021 - 32
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, AUTHORIZING THE
PURCHASE OF AIRPORT SNOW REMOVAL EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES UTILIZING
THE STATE OF ALASKA COOPERATIVE FLEET PURCHASING AGREEMENT.
WHEREAS, an existing 20+ year old airport snow removal broom beyond it’s useful life went out
of service near the end of winter; and,
WHEREAS, an acceptable replacement unit is available for purchase from the State of Alaska
Cooperative Fleet Purchasing Agreement; and,
WHEREAS, this type of equipment typically has extended build and delivery times, often out to
twelve months; and,
WHEREAS, utilizing the State Contract option will significantly reduce the delivery time to the City
of Kenai; and,
WHEREAS, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is in support of the purchase and Council
should anticipate a future appropriation of grant funds under a future Ordinance; and,
WHEREAS, this is an integral piece of equipment to Airport Operations, staff’s ability to maintain
the runway and taxiways to FAA standards in a timely manner largely depends on the availability
of this equipment; and,
WHEREAS, Council has previously passed Ordinance 3201-2021 which has appropriated
sufficient funding to complete this purchase; and,

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Scott Curtin
DATE: May 10, 2021
SUBJECT: Resolution 2021-32
The purpose of this memo is to request Council’s Support of Resolution 2021-29 for the purchase
of Airport Snow Removal Equipment through the State of Alaska Cooperative Fleet Purchasing
Agreement. LaRue is the manufacturer we will be purchasing from through their local
representative, Craig Taylor Equipment. Total cost of equipment with options is $748,150.
Additional costs of $2,000 for City Admin services, and an estimated freight cost of $25,000 from
Seattle to Kenai. With fluctuations in fuel pricing and the fact the unit may not ship for 9-12 months
the actual freight number may vary from this.
This unit will be delivered with both a snow blower head as well as a 20’ wide wire rotary broom.
This is an integral piece of equipment to Airport Operations, allowing staff to quickly clear runways
and taxiways to minimize down time of air services in and out of Kenai. See photo attached.
Staff is coordinating the processing of an FAA grant to assist with the purchase. There are two
items being purchased that are not grant eligible. They are training at a cost of $1,500 and
diagnostic software at a cost of $1,200. All other costs are expected to be grant eligible and at
minimum covered under the normal grant share of 93.75% FAA funded and 6.25% City share.
Staff, working with our FAA counterparts is applying for grant funding of 100% FAA funding for
grant eligible items for purchases this summer only. As this grant has not yet been finalized actual
amounts of available grant funds cannot be confirmed at this time. A future Ordinance will detail
the actual amounts.
Council’s support is respectfully requested.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
FROM: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
DATE: May 12, 2021
SUBJECT: Resolution 2021-33 – Amending the Shop Local Program
At its January 20, 2021 meeting, the City Council passed Ordinance 3177-2021 authorizing the
Shop Local Economic Stimulus Program in the amount of $350,000, and the City entered into a
Professional Services Agreement with the Kenai Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center, Inc.
for administration of the program for a total cost not to exceed $15,000 including up to $10,000 to
promote the program and up to $5,000 for program administration. On March 17, the City Council
passed Resolution 2021-18 extending the program for an additional month from April 20, 2021 to
May 1, 2021 and increasing the administrative costs from up to $15,000 to up to $23,500 and
funding the program for direct incentive to shoppers up to $326,500.
City Administration has worked jointly with the Kenai Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center
to monitor the success of the program and recommends an amendment to the program to provide
additional funding to cover pending online submissions for program that were submitted prior to
the conclusion of the program May 1, 2021 and extend the date that voucher’s issued after May
1, 2021 must be spent from June 1, 2021 to July 1, 2021. This amendment will not result in an
increase in actual administrative costs and will increase the direct incentive to shoppers from
$326,500 to $337,750.
The Shop Local Program has been a successful program that rewards local shopping, promotes
Kenai businesses, and assists in our recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Your consideration is appreciated.

RE: Shop Local Program Funding Request
Kenai City Council Members:
At 5:00pm on May 01, 2021, the Kenai Shop Local Program concluded. With the high volume of participation
on the last day of the program, we were able to exhaust all of the program funds. Being that the Kenai Visitor’s
Center is closed on the weekend and May 1st fell on a Saturday, we had to leave the online portal open to allow
for participants to submit until the deadline. The Chamber spent three days (5/3 - 5/5) completing vouchers for
the remaining funds, and after completing the final voucher that exhausted the remaining funds, there were still
133 submissions that were unable to be funded; this totaled $11,250.
The Kenai Chamber of Commerce & Visitor’s Center would like to request that the Kenai City Council approve
to increase the funding for the Shop Local Program by $11,250 to allow for us to complete the remaining
vouchers in cue. After 14 weeks of the program, the Kenai Chamber has paid out $326,500 to 60 local small
businesses in Kenai and through the course of the program, we saw so much support from not only our own
community members, but support of our small businesses from the surrounding areas. We had people as far as
Anchorage participating in this program and are proud of the hard work each businesses put in to making this
program such a success.
Thank you for your consideration.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
FROM: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
DATE: May 12, 2021
SUBJECT: Resolution 2021-34 – Extending the Disaster Emergency Declaration
The Disaster Emergency Declaration issued on March 18, 2020 and extended by the City Council,
is set to expire on May 31, 2021. Based on the continued impact of the COVID-19 public health
emergency along with the lack of guidance to determine if an emergency declaration will be
required for local governments to receive COVID-19 related stimulus funding, an extension until
June 30, 2021 is warranted.
Extending the emergency declaration will extend the City moratorium on penalty and interest for
water and sewer accounts and disconnect for non-payment pursuant to Ordinance 3199-2021 for
a period of 60 days after the expiration of the City’s Disaster Declaration.
An extension of the Disaster Emergency Declaration will allow the Mayor or other current
Presiding Officer authority to waive certain provisions of Code related to scheduling,
teleconference participation, public participation, and other related provisions of Code pertaining
to meetings of the Council and other advisory and adjudicatory bodies, if deemed necessary.
An extension will additionally provide to the City Manager the authority to issue emergency orders
that may be necessary to protect critical functions of the City and protect the health and safety of
City employees, although it is unlikely that any future emergency orders will be issued during this
Disaster Emergency Declaration. Only four emergency orders have been issued under this
authority since March of 2020, and two of those emergency orders were rescinded in December,
2020. The Executive Order providing temporary leave to employees for absences related to
COVID-19 was rescinded effective May 6, 2021
Your consideration is appreciated.

May 5, 2021
MOTION:
Council Member Winger MOVED to introduce Ordinance No. 3213-2021 and hold a public hearing
at the May 19, 2021 Council Meeting. Council Member Glendening SECONDED the motion.
Appreciation was expressed for the service of City employees throughout the COVID-19 health
emergency, as well as for the hard work of Administration in keeping their employees safe by
ensuring COVID-safe workplaces through social distancing, plexiglass partitions, public facility
closures, mask requirements, and flexibility in scheduling to allow for COVID-19 leave. It was
noted that no employees lost their jobs with the City due to COVID-19, and while we are all in the
same boat, the City provided its employees “life jackets” and that moving this policy forward might
be divisive among City employees and the taxpayers.
The comment was made that, while members of the Council oppose the ordinance, it would be
good to hear from the public on this issue through a Public Hearing although it could be a divisive
issue for employees. It was noted that the issue deserves a full discussion and the opportunity for
public testimony.
It was explained that this legislation was the result of the sponsor’s conversations with City
employees and first responders. It was noted that City employees dealt with a lot of additional
stresses during this time that should be recognized, such as being short-handed due to COVID-
19 protocols.
It was noted that it is very uncommon for items to be pulled off the consent agenda and not be
introduced for public hearing, and that allowing legislation to go to public hearing allows for the
public process and a deeper discussion on why the issue should be supported or not.

6. Action/Approval - Donation of $500 to Mountain View Elementary School to be
Used for Purchasing Bike Helmets for Their Annual Bike Rodeo Event. (Council
Member Winger)
MOTION:
Council Member Winger MOVED to approve a donation of $500 to Mountain View Elementary
School to be used for purchasing bike helmets for their annual Bike Rodeo event. Vice Mayor
Molloy SECONDED the motion.
It was explained that this program was started by longtime local teacher Barb Ralston, in
partnership with Safe Kids and the Kenai Police Department, after she lost two students to bike
accidents. The intention is to teach kids about proper bike stops and hand signals, and to provide
safety equipment. Noting that the program is able to provide helmets at $5 each, the $500 donation
would allow 100 children to receive helmets free of cost. The participation of the Kenai Police
Department in the event was explained.
Page 99
City of Kenai Council Meeting Page 8 of 11
May 5, 2021
It was noted that normally, organizations requesting a donation will provide a memo explaining the
need and use for the funds, and will often come before Council to speak on the subject directly so
that Council’s questions could be answered by the organizer. Questions were raised on how
accounting details would be handled.
MOTION TO AMEND:
Council Member Knackstedt MOVED to amend the motion to require receipts of sales of helmets
up to $500, and any funds left over would revert back to the City. Council Member Askin
SECONDED the motion.

Room. (Mayor Gabriel)
The age and poor ergonomics of the current chairs was noted. Clarification was provided that the
prices provided in the packet are list price, and the final price would be at or below $500 each.
The chairs in the new Airport conference room were noted as being very comfortable and the
recommendation was made to get something similar. It was suggested that a Council Member
test the chairs prior to purchase, as it is difficult to make a decision based on a photo. The
importance of lumbar support was stated, as well as a preference for an American-made chair.

be Chief Prior’s personal testimony of his experience and reasons for choosing to be vaccinated.

DATE: Ma y 10, 2021
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3214-2021
The purpose of this memo is to request Council’s approval to provide a small amount of
supplemental funding to cover the costs of Administrative Services that were not originally
included in the appropriation for the purchase of the Kenai Municipal Airport Tractor and Mower.
The requested $1,500 covers Public Works Admin time used in the development of procurement
documents, execution of contract documents, and management of contract through receipt of
equipment and closeout.
This appropriation allows staff’s actual time being utilized to be billed to the correct project. The
requested funding was mistakenly left out of the original appropriation. Council’s support in
providing the requested funds is appreciated.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Scott Curtin
DATE: Ma y 12, 2021
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3215-2021
The purpose of this memo is to request Council’s approval to accept insurance proceeds from
damages sustained to Wellhouse 1 during the November 2018 earthquake as well as award of
a construction agreement for modifications to relocate the Wellhouse. As this Wellhouse has
historically been a very low producing well that has not seen much use since the construction of
the water treatment facility, abandonment and capping of this well supports the long term needs
of the utility and is in the best interest of the city.
The damages were primarily focused around the foundation settling. While the existing concrete
foundation is no longer useable the steel building itself remains intact and in relatively good
condition considering the age of the building. The Public Works department intends to repurpose
the structure as a much needed storage facility for parts and accessories, in support of the utility,
to be located adjacent to the Water & Sewer office trailer off of Shotgun Drive. This will provide
a more appropriate and secure location than other storage options the department is currently
utilizing, including the reservoir building at the airport and Wellhouse 3.
The existing well and appurtenances will be capped and abandoned in compliance with
Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) requirements. Completion of this work
removes a level of risk and potential liability from the utility by eliminating an unmanned conduit
to the aquifer.
The project was competitively bid with three bids received and Polar North Construction as the
successful bidder with a total construction cost of $242,961.40. Polar North is a very familiar
contractor to the City having recently completed the WAS Pump installations at the WWTP as
well as the Vault Restrooms project at the beaches. Completion of this project is anticipated for
late this calendar year.
Council’s support is respectfully requested.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Terry Eubank, Finance Director
DATE: May 11, 2021
SUBJECT: Ordinance 3216-2021 providing supplemental funding to the Terminal
Rehabilitation Project for ineligible grant expenditures and installation
of wireless internet for the public.
The purpose of this memo is to recommend enactment of Ordinance 3216-2021 which will provide
supplemental funding to the airport’s Terminal Rehabilitation Project for ineligible grant
expenditures in excess of projected amounts and to install wireless internet for the public which
is not a grant eligible expense.
Ordinance 3133-2020 moved $208,485 in Airport Special Revenue Fund proceeds from the
Terminal Rehabilitation project to provide partial funding for replacement of the Airport’s wide-
area mower and HVAC repairs at the Airport Operations Facility. It was anticipated that remaining
Airport Special Revenue Fund proceeds would be sufficient to provide the remaining grant match
funds and cover any ineligible grant costs. $1,690.97 is now needed to complete grant closeout
as those estimates were low.
In addition to the supplemental funding for ineligible grant expenditures, the Administration is
recommending the installation of wireless internet for the public and for use in the airport
conference room that is now available for rent. The cost to install wireless internet is $19,000
including installation of a network switch which will accommodate expansion in the facility for
items such as security cameras and a battery backup to insure network equipment remains online
in the event of a power outage.
Your support for enactment of Ordinance 3216-2021 is respectfully requested.

SUBJECT: Mid-month Report – April 2021
Grooming operations concluded April 12 with a total accumulation of 236.50 maintenance hours.
The trails experienced increased use this season compared to recent years. This was largely
due to sufficient snow accumulations but also due to folks embracing being outdoors after an
exhausting COVID-19 pandemic. Both KMS and KCHS were able to host successful meets at
the Kenai Nordic Trails this season.
Kenai Central High School Softball began using the City’s field on April 19 and the baseball team
the first of May. Due to the snow removal efforts of Operator Ed Brusven, the girl’s field was the
only field on the Peninsula that was playable in April. Both Soldotna and Homer utilized the field
for their opening games.
Our annual Easter Egg Hunt was held on April 2 and a good time was held be all. The Kenai
Community Library, KMS Ski Team members, LDS Missionary Elders, Salvation Army and the
Kenai Rotary Club are deserving of a huge thank you!
The department’s greenhouse operation is in full swing. The department will plant the circle
planters this season with the help of volunteers. Flowers are being grown in 14” baskets making
it easy and efficient to plant. All the flower boxes have been planted and will be available to set
out sometime the week of June 7 coinciding with our volunteer planting days.
Summer preparations are in full swing, including interviews for summer positions, opening
restrooms, turning on water, MPF cleaning, sweeping lawns, ballfield maintenance, greenhouse
operations and planning for the upcoming Kite Festival scheduled for May 29.
The director met with the Boys & Girls Club of the Kenai Peninsula recreation center staff
regarding the City assuming management responsibilities for the downstairs portion of the facility.
This provided an opportunity for their staff to ask general questions about the transition and inquire

Substantial Completion on June 2, 2020 and Fire Training successfully took place this past
summer. Staff continues to work with the FAA on project closeout. Project will continue
through Warranty phase through June 2021.
• Alaska Regional Fire Training Facility Equipment Rehabilitation Project - The project reached
Substantial Completion on March 13, 2020 and Fire Training successfully took place this past
summer. The Contractor did return to complete Punch list items last September, a propane
tank inspection was conducted at that time and did identify deficiencies within that part of the
equipment. These repairs will take place in the spring coinciding with the next round of
training, so the Contractor will be onsite in the event of any operational issues. Contractor
returned on March 29, 2021 and completed all warranty and change order work. Training was
safely and successfully started on April 5, 2021 by Beacon.
• Alaska Regional Fire Training Facility Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighting (ARFF) Vehicles – The
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grant that provided funding for the other two projects
listed above is also providing for two new ARFF vehicles. One 1500 gal and one 3000 gal
unit, images below. Delivery is anticipated for June 2021, PO119953 was issued 3/19/20.
Public Works staff is scheduled to inspect equipment at the manufacturer’s facility on June
7th-9th, prior to equipment shipping to Alaska later that month.

• Kenai Municipal Airport Sand Storage Facility – The City executed a design agreement to
HDL Engineering on April 17, 2020 for a new Sand Storage Facility. On August 7, 2020 Final
Design Documents were received and a Formal Invitation to Bid was released on August 10th
with Bids due on August 31st, 2020. Orion Construction was the successful bidder with a low
bid of $2,289,000. The City successfully executed a grant with the FAA on September 25,
2020 in the amount of $1,954,101, a second grant is anticipated for next Spring, May 2021,
to cover the remaining costs on a total project cost of $2,835,263. A Notice to Proceed for
Construction was issued for October 14, 2020, and the schedule will run 365 days. The
Contractor successfully mobilized to the site, cleared the area for the new building and brought
in structural fill where required by Contract. Project is now winterized and will start back up in
spring. This project is looking at potential delays due to material and labor shortages. Pre-
manufactured Building Supplier is struggling with shop drawings and fabrication of materials.
Will have more information next month for Council, however it appears unlikely this building
will be constructed in time to store sand prior to the start of the winter season.
• Kenai Municipal Airport Airfield Drainage – Ordinance 3166-2020 Authorized HDL

The Cook Inlet Regional Citizens Advisory Council Annual and Board of Directors meeting was
held virtually on April 9th, 2021. Remote meetings continue as a precaution to protect the health
and safety of CIRCAC Directors and staff.
Representatives from Hilcorp provided an update on the natural gas pipeline leak that was
identified on April 151• The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) was
notified that same day. The product being released was processed dry natural gas, containing more
than 98 percent methane. The leak occurred between Hilcorp-owned Platform A and the Nikiski
shore facility. The pipeline provides fuel gas to Platform A and Platform C. The pipeline has since
been shut in and an investigation into the cause of the leak is ongoing. This same pipeline
experienced a leak in 2017. The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
(PHMSA) has issued a corrective order that the pipeline be replaced within one year. CIRCAC will
continue to monitor the progress of both the investigation into the leak and the planning process for
the pipeline's replacement.
We also received an update from ADEC Commissioner Jason Brune . Funding levels for the state's
Division of Spill and Response (SP AR) remain a concern. We support calls for an increase to the
state's motor fuel tax to more appropriately maintain SP AR funding levels and also call on the
administration and legislature to ensure the department is adequately staffed to respond to potential
spills and provide necessary oversight of contingency plans. An adequate and experienced staff is
critical in protecting against potential threats to public and environmental health and protecting the
safety of Cook Inlet's resources.
During our annual meeting, we recognized the service of Cindy Sanguinetti, our transcriptionist,
who has been with the organiz ation since 1991. We thank her for her exemplary work and
dedication to the mission of CIRCAC. We also elected new officers and recognized individuals for
their contributions to the organization over the years.
Our next meeting is scheduled for September and its location will be determined at a later date.

Subject:Update on Dog Park
Date:Tuesday, May 18, 2021 4:15:45 PM
CAUTION: This email originated from outside your organization. Exercise caution when
opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders.
Mayor Gabriel and Council,
I would like to give you an update on the Dog Park progress, as you
address your annual budget.
We have begun a very active fundraising campaign to seek funds that
will guarantee the completion of the park.
We had originally intended to seek funding from the Rasmuson
Foundation. These funds would have been targeted to fund the largest
expense of the park, the fencing. All the groundwork has been
accomplished with volunteer labor and in-kind services from local
contractors. It is estimated the actual cost of this service would have
been between $15-$20,000. You can see that volunteers have been
very dedicated to the idea of a Dog Park in Kenai.
Because, the fence is the most important part of the park, we are
requesting the council appropriate $25,000 from Daubenspeck
funding. We will not know what our funding efforts will accomplish
until mid-winter. The fence needs to be installed this fall! Having the
fence completed by fall will guarantee the opening to be in spring or
early summer 2022. This winter efforts will be to build the entrance
and exit coverings, the agility equipment materials, memorial and
required signage, trash and dog trash receptacles, tables, benches, etc.
I am aware of the intent of the Daubenspeck legacy. The revenue was
Page 3 of 18
to be dedicated for recreation/athletic activities. Why would a dog park
be appropriate for this funding? When the Daubenspeck's gifted this to
the city, it was many years ago. Many activities, that are available
today, were not even on the horizon then. A dog park fits right into
their intent. It is a form of recreation for the users of the park, it is the
perfect place for handicap or senior citizens to visit, network and
exercise their dogs in a safe area off leash. It is located at the
Daubenspeck Family Park with trails, swimming, picnic, ice skating
available and the dog area has always been park of the plan.
With the funds that come from donations, every effort will be made to
reimburse the Daubenspeck funding. If council chooses to appropriate
funding from this source, please do not designate it towards the fencing
as we are still hoping that Home Depot will become one of our major
partner. We will know in early fall the results of that request. Your
funding would guarantee it's installation.
This past month, we have set up a GoFundMe account, however we
have had very little interest in this venue for fund raising. Other ways
to donate are through check to the City of Kenai or Kenai Community
Foundation. The dog park funding brochures are today, finished. This
too, have been an in-kind service! You should be receiving one at the
Wednesday meeting.
Last week, I prepared and mailed 50 letters to Industry and local
businesses. We will have a presence in the 4th of July Parade and a
booth on the Park Strip for information. A large stuffed black Labrador
will be raffled for children to enter the contest and the senior center is
making cookies for us to sell. We are in the process of preparing a dog
quilt, doghouse, and other items for a raffle in the winter month. We
are giving every effort to making this project happen through donors
Page 4 of 18
and in-kind services.
I will be going on Sound Off when I come for my yearly visit and having
a public meeting on July 6th. We still have requests into the Builders
Association and the Realtor Association for construction of the entrance
and exit areas. Donation of trees/rocks, to make the big treeless area
look attractive are being requested. Alaskan Missions have agreed to
help in the area during the month of July. We have been notified the
Kenai Rotary Club has been awarded a $3,000 grant, which will be
available July 1.
The City of Kenai might also consider applying for a Rasmuson Tier I
grant for the park. If this was awarded it would solve many of the
funding problems.
It has been a pleasure to work on this project and I will continue to give
100% of effort into seeking the funding/or services to complete this
park for Kenai. I also would like the thank the Administration, Park and
Recreation, Kenai Chamber of Commerce, Kenai Community
Foundation, and my Two Paws on the Ground, Crystal, and Lena! I love
the city of Kenai and continue to want what is best for its citizens and
visitors.
We can all work together to make this happen, please feel free to
contact me if you have questions.
We would appreciate a positive outcome of our request.
