SECONDED the motion.
Planning Director Foster gave a presentation on the draft Land Management Plan (LMP), including
why it was created, the background and development of the LMP, the new City Lands Inventory
and Database, the objectives of the LMP, how it categorizes lands by recommendation, and
timeline for approval by commissions and Council. He provided a demonstration of the new GIS
tool and explained how it interacts with the database, and how it can be used by the City and the
public in the future.
It was explained that the database and GIS mapping tool is currently for internal use only but would
be available to the public in the future, and that right now parcel information can be found through
the City’s website and through City Administration. It was noted that maps 35, 36 and 37 would
be of most interest to the Harbor Commission.
Clarification was provided that the document is a tool to provide data in an efficient manner, and
Administration is seeking approval and recommendation to take to Council. Suggestions included
a digital file with plat information which could be helpful to the public and less cumbersome than
the LMP; connecting the GIS tool with the Kenai Peninsula Borough parcel viewer. Clarification
was provided on the implementation stage, and leased set net sites. The discussion included how
it can benefit from information and recommendations from the waterfront development feasibility
study.

INTRODUCTION
The City of Kenai's five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is developed by the
Public Works Department in coordination with City departments, Administration,
Boards and Commissions, and the City Council for the purpose of long-range
capital improvement planning and budgeting. A capital improvement project is
typically a one-time expenditure, usually, in excess of $35,000, that has a useful
life exceeding one year or is a major project such as a comprehensive or master
plan. Capital projects on existing assets are included in the CIP, provided they meet
the definition of a capital project. Projects can focus on immediate needs or
anticipate future needs before critical failures and are developed based on an
internal process that determines funding availability and infrastructure needs.
The CIP is divided into six parts based on the City Fund in which the project would
be accounted for. These include the Airport Fund, General Fund, Water & Sewer
Fund, and Senior Citizens Fund, Congregate Housing Enterprise Fund, and
Personal Use Fishery Fund. Projects are not necessarily listed in priority order for
each Fund by fiscal year. Active projects that have been funded in prior years are
not included in the Plan.
Projects that are identified in the CIP are included for planning purposes and to
recognize a need. Not all projects receive the necessary funding to accomplish
them in a projected year, which is why the list is updated annually. Many projects
are dependent on non-City funding sources, which the City can expect to seek, but
are not guaranteed. The availability of outside funds can vary with local, state, and
federal economies, and the City's needs can, and do, change frequently.
