WHEREAS, pursuant to KMC 1.10.040(a), regular meetings of the Council shall be at a time set
by a resolution of the Council on the first and third Wednesdays of every month; and,
WHEREAS, pursuant to KMC 1.10.040(b) on or before the last meeting of December, the City

least one regular meeting each month; and,
WHEREAS, the City's Charter allows for cancellation of meetings by the Mayor due to lack of a

least twenty (20) regular meetings are held each calendar year and at least one each month; and,
WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of the City for the Council to provide as much advance
notification as possible to the public and administration of their meeting schedule; and,
WHEREAS, timely adopting a calendar of meeting dates, including any cancelled meetings,
provides advance notice to the public and administration; and,
WHEREAS, cancelling the second regular meeting of the City Council in July allows for Council,

activities; and,
WHEREAS, cancelling one Council Meeting in July complies with the minimum standards for
meeting requirements as provided in the City's Charter and Code.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA:

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
FROM: Jamie Heinz, City Clerk
DATE: October 19, 2021
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2021-62 — Setting Council Meeting Calendar
Pursuant to KMC 1.10.040(b), this Resolution is intended to establish a calendar for the regular
meetings of the City Council in 2022.
Pursuant to City Charter, a meeting may be cancelled by the Mayor due to a lack of a quorum,
for an emergency, or by a majority of council members for any reason as long as at least twenty
(20) regular meetings are held each year and at least one each month. The proposed resolution
maintains at least one regular meeting each month and more than the minimum twenty (20)
regular meetings each year.
After reviewing previous calendars, this resolution proposes scheduling regular meetings every
first and third Wednesday of each month, except for the month of July, when the second meeting
would be cancelled. The second meeting of July coincides with the peak season of the personal
use dipnet fishery which consumes the full attention of the administration and is a busy time of
year for other residents.
The second meeting in November is often cancelled as it coincides with the AML conferences in
Anchorage; however, there are five Wednesday's in November in 2022 and having five weeks
between meetings makes it difficult for Administration to accomplish the business of the City.
The calendar attached to this memo is included for your reference and is not an exhibit to the
Resolution.
Your consideration is appreciated.
