Garret Ennis discussed ongoing rallies for medical liberty and freedom. Provided an overview of
the reason for the rallies and provided a copy of an essay titled, "not yours to give" and also a
declaration of medical liberty. Also supported newly elected Council Members and current Council
Members. Encouraged acting to prevent mandates coming down.
Queen Aleta Parker quoted the constitution and spoke against government intervention in medical
choice.
Jason Floyd spoke about the rally he attended; expressed appreciation for no mask mandates and
that Kenai and its buildings were open. He referred to the bible and that the love of money is a
root of all evil and noting that there was an open tap of federal money coming into our community
to influence government and coerce the people to do things with their bodies. Mr. Floyd pointed
out he has been watching Council's decisions with government funds and cautioned Council
against using their positions to presume they have knowledge outside of the public's.
Christine Hutchison expressed concern that the public does not hear from anyone about
preventative medicine and noted that she wants doctors and pharmacists to be able to prescribe
and distribute ivermectin to patients in and out of the hospital adding that she understood that
Council didn't have that power but wanted the message out there.
April Orth spoke about her personal experience having COVID, provided some resources for
acquiring treatment such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. Her biggest suggestion was if
you thought you were getting sick get to a front line doctor, be in contact with one of them so you
don't have to go to the hospital.
Ann Hoffman encouraged the Student Council Representative to do research and reach out to
other students about health alternatives.

D. PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. Ordinance No. 3248-2021 - Accepting and Appropriating a Collection Equity Award
from the Network of the National Library of Medicine Region 5 for the Purchase of
Health and Wellness Titles for the Kenai Community Library Collection.
(Administration)
MOTION:
Council Member Knackstedt MOVED to enact Ordinance No. 3248-2021 and Council Member
Pettey SECONDED the motion.
Vice Mayor Molloy opened the floor for public comment.
Sharon Efta asked for and was provided clarification on the materials the library intended to
purchase with the grant which included topics such as stress relief, self-care, mental health,
healthy habits, living with a chronic disease, caregiver support, books about Medicare and
Medicaid, health literacy books, cancer, ADHD, and women's and men's health titles. Ms. Efta
encouraged the Council to look at titles before rubber stamping an approval.
Dave Peck noted an email from the Library Director to Council Member Askin listing subjects of
books noting the topics were fine but that his issue was with the grant being a health equity grant
pointing out that in the whereas clauses there was mention of underrepresented groups. Mr. Peck
wanted to know who was underrepresented and wondered what the grant required other than
purchasing materials; noted his main issue is with the word equity as it created division instead of
unity. Mr. Peck also wondered if the grant was enhancing a federal agenda or requirements
attached to the money which would not necessarily represent the views of the people of Kenai or
the Council.
Christine Hutchison suggested there was government overreach related to money into states and
cities. She also suggested cut backs were needed, there were plenty of books on these subjects
already in the library; asked Council to reject the ordinance and federal money.
There being no one else wishing to be heard, the public comment period was closed.
Clarification was provided that the final report was due in May 2022; wanted to purchase the books
in the end of November.
City of Kenai Council Meeting Page 4 of 14
October 20, 2021
It was noted that the funds replenish certain topics of books in the library. Reference was made
to the banned books that libraries have available and a word of caution was provided noting
rejection of a title due to a perception was a slippery slope.
MOTION:
Council Member Glendening MOVED to postpone to the first meeting in December to give more
time to get information requested by the public and Council Member Knackstedt SECONDED the
motion.
Administration asked for clarification on what information was being requested; titles or an
expansion on the topics; able to provide an expanded understanding of what is going to be
purchased.
The Library Director noted a sample of titles could be provided within the timeframe.
Clarification was provided that the Library Director has a $59,000 budget for purchasing books at
her discretion and that the library staff is always looking at titles to weed out or replace or expand
with new titles to meet the needs of the residents; ways to supplement the purchasing power are
also always looked for
It was suggested that if constituents come to Council Members with concerns of specific book
titles, it was the Council's job and obligation to look into it. The library director was thanked for
applying for the grant. Concern was expressed with the Network of National Library of Medicine
noting the content they provide was not items the library would be carrying.
Clarification was provided that the Library Director was not restricted by the grant to specific titles
or subjects. Ensuring that books representing different points of view and not censoring
information and protecting freedom of speech and freedom of access was very important and how
rejection of specifics could jeopardize freedom of speech, access, and being censored. Agreed to
postponement so more information could come forward.
UNANIMOUS CONSENT was requested.
VOTE: There being no objections, SO ORDERED.
MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
