SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3225-2021
The purposed of the memo is to recommend introduction and adoption of Ordinance 3225-2021
at the July 7, 2021 meeting of the Kenai City Council.
Introduction and Adoption in a Single Meetina.
Generally, Ordinances are introduced at one meeting and voted on at the subsequent meeting to
provide public notice of the action at two separate meetings. KMC 1.15.070(d) as cited below,
provides for introduction and passage of appropriating ordinances in a single meeting.
KMC 1.15.070(d)
No ordinance, except an emergency ordinance or an ordinance making, repealing, transferring,
or otherwise changing appropriations, may be finally passed on the same day that it is introduced.
By unanimous consent of all Council Members present, such ordinances may be read a second
time and then, by the required vote, be passed, on the same day on which they are introduced.
All persons present shall be given an opportunity to be heard before the vote on final passage.
Meals on Wheels of America provided a grant opportunity to its Members to enable member
programs to invest in infrastructure, training and technology, based on current or future services.
The Kenai Senior Center's grant proposal included the following: sustaining basic services
needed in our community through additional personnel; deliver on a full range of services such
as outreach and safety checks; enhanced nutrition and/or socialization services to include diabetic
and gluten free meals.
On June 16, 2021, we were notified we had been selected to received $25,000 through this grant
funding. As this grant is limited to four months and there is only one Kenai City Council meeting
in July, it is important that we are able to utilize these funds as soon as possible.
I respectfully request utilization of the provision in KMC 1.15.070(d) for introduction and passage
of Ordinance 3225-2021 at the July 7, 2021 meeting of the Kenai City Council to enable us to
move forward within the grant guidelines.
