WHEREAS, Ordinance 3211-2021 adopted the annual budget, salary schedule, and employee classification plan for the fiscal year 2023; and, WHEREAS, the FY2023 annual budget includes current employee classifications and ranges for multiple Parks and Recreation and Personal Use Fishery temporary summer positions, including Temporary Parks & Grounds Maintenance Worker, Temporary Parks & Grounds Maintenance Crew Leader, Temporary Parks & Grounds Gardner, Temporary Fishery Cashier, Temporary Beach Service Assistant, and Temporary Dock Worker; and, WHEREAS, the Parks and Recreation Department has been responsible for recruiting the Temporary Parks & Grounds and Beach Service Assistant positions, the Finance Department has been responsible for recruiting Temporary Fishery Cashier positions, and the Streets Division of the Public Works Department has been responsible for recruiting the Temporary Dock Worker positions; and, WHEREAS, not all temporary summer positions recruited for have been filled in previous years with multiple hiring teams competing for the same applicants; and, WHEREAS, consolidation of management and supervision of the Personal Use Fishery positions under the Parks and Recreation Department would allow for a centralized recruiting process to improve efficiency, flexibility, and consistency; and, WHEREAS, position descriptions were drafted to consolidate the six temporary summer positions into four: Temporary Parks & Recreation Maintenance Worker, Temporary Parks & Recreation Maintenance Leader, Temporary Personal Use Fishery Attendant, and Temporary Personal Use Fishery Cashier; and, WHEREAS, based on an evaluation of the newly drafted positions, to fairly reflect the differences in duties and responsibilities related to compensation for comparable positions in other places of public employment, and to meet the City’s objective to provide an appropriate compensation structure to recruit and retain an adequate supply of competent employees, an amendment to the range for these temporary positions is warranted; and, WHEREAS, the recommended range for the Temporary Parks & Recreation Maintenance Worker would change from T1 to T5, the recommended range for the Temporary Parks & Recreation Maintenance Leader would change from T3 to T6, the recommended range for the Temporary Personal Use Fishery Attendant (formerly the Temporary Dock Worker) would change from T8 to T4, and the recommended range for the Temporary Personal Use Fishery Cashier would change from T1 to T3; and, Page 4 Resolution No. 2022-14 Page 2 of 2 New Text Underlined; [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED] WHEREAS, these proposed changes would not result in an increase to the FY2023 budget; however, they would result in an increase of $18,065 in the General Fund and $3,119 in the Personal Use Fishery Fund beginning in FY2024; and, WHEREAS, this amendment ensures that the employee classifications and ranges for multiple Parks and Recreation and Personal Use Fishery temporary summer positions accurately reflect the duties and responsibilities of the positions comparable to other positions within the City and is adequate to recruit and retain qualified candidates.

The Council amends the Employee Classification Plan by amending the ranges of Temporary Parks and Recreation and Personal Use Fishery positions as follows: Position Title Range Temporary Parks & [GROUNDS] Recreation Maintenance Worker [T1] T5 Temporary Parks & [GROUNDS] Recreation Maintenance [CREW] Leader [T3] T6 Temporary [DOCK WORKER] Personal Use Fishery Attendant [T8] T4 Temporary Personal Use Fishery Cashier [T1] T3 [TEMPORARY BEACH SERVICE ASSISTANT] [T1] [TEMPORARY PARKS & GROUNDS GARDNER] [T2] Section 2.

Saner, MMC, City Clerk Page 5 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager FROM: Christine Cunningham, Human Resources Director Brad Walker, Parks & Recreation Director DATE: March 7, 2022 SUBJECT: Resolution 2022-14 – Amending Ranges of Parks and Recreation and Personal Use Fishery Temporary Summer Positions This resolution requests that City Council amend the City’s Classification Plan by changing the ranges of Temporary Parks and Recreation and Personal Use Fishery positions. This change would consolidate the six temporary summer positions into four positions and amend the hourly pay for these positions so that they are comparable to positions in other places of public employment on the Kenai Peninsula. In recent years, the Parks and Rec Department, Finance Department, and the Streets Division of the Public Works Department have been responsible for recruiting the temporary summer positions for the Personal Use Fishery. In addition to the Personal Use Fishery, the Parks and Recreation Department recruits for multiple temporary summer maintenance positions, resulting in multiple recruitments posting at the same time and City departments competing for many of the same applicants. The departments involved in the Fishery met to discuss the recruitment of temporary summer positions and the feasibility of consolidating management and supervision of these positions under the Parks and Recreation Department to allow for a centralized recruiting process and improve efficiency, flexibility, and consistency. Based on recommendations to consolidate management and supervision and reduce the number of unique positions from six to four, the position descriptions were updated to accurately reflect the essential duties, including lowering the minimum age requirement to 17 years of age for two positions to increase the potential applicant pool. To fairly reflect the differences in duties and responsibilities related to compensation f or comparable positions in other places of public employment, and to meet the City’s objective to provide an appropriate compensation structure to recruit and retain an adequate supply of competent employees, an amendment in the starting hourly range for the four consolidated positions is recommended. Page 6 Page 2 of 2 The table below shows the current and proposed classification and range changes in legislative format (New Text Underlined; [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED]): Position Title Range Current Starting Hourly* Proposed Starting Hourly* Temporary Parks & [GROUNDS] Recreation Maintenance Worker [T1] T5 $12.75 $15.50 Temporary Parks & [GROUNDS] Recreation Maintenance [CREW] Leader [T3] T6 $14.06 $16.28 Temporary [DOCK WORKER] Personal Use Fishery Attendant [T8] T4 $13.39 $14.76 Temporary Personal Use Fishery Cashier [T1] T3 $12.75 $14.06 [TEMPORARY BEACH SERVICE ASSISTANT] [T1] $12.75 N/A [TEMPORARY PARKS & GROUNDS GARDNER] [T2] $13.39 N/A *Based on FY2022 Temporary Position Salary Schedule The proposed changes would not result in an increase to the FY2023 budget; however, they would result in an increase of $18,065 in the General Fund and $3,119 in the Personal Use Fishery Fund beginning in FY2024. If the City Council passes Resolution 2022-14, the Parks and Recreation Department can begin recruitment to fill its temporary summer maintenance positions as well as begin recruitment for positions in support of the Personal Use Fishery at the proposed salary ranges. Your consideration is appreciated.

WHEREAS, the City of Kenai now operates the main portion of the Kenai Recreation Center; and, WHEREAS, the City of Kenai establishes and administers rules, regulations, and fees for use of the facility; and, WHEREAS, the City’s fee Schedule of Rates, Charges and Fees provides an hourly gym rental fee of $50/hr; and, WHEREAS, the City of Kenai recognizes the importance of organized recreational activities for the community; and, WHEREAS, the City of Kenai desires to support the continued mission of providing quality recreation opportunities for organizations and community members; and, WHEREAS, Twin City Athletic Association is a new organization providing organized community basketball leagues; and, WHEREAS, waiving the gym rental costs for the months of March and April for the Twin City Athletic Association will allow the organization to complete their city league tournament; and, WHEREAS, this association offers a recreational opportunity consistent with the purpose of this facility. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA: Section 1. That the following Recreation Center Gym fee waiver revision is authorized. March/April 67 total games of waived fees 67 X $50 per game $3,350 Section 2. That this resolution takes effect immediately upon passage. PASSED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, THIS 16TH DAY OF MARCH, 2022. __________________________________ Brian Gabriel, Sr., Mayor Page 8 Resolution No. 2022-15 Page 2 of 2 New Text Underlined; [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED] ATTEST: ______________________________________ Michelle M. Saner, MMC, City Clerk Page 9 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager FROM: Brad Walker, Parks & Recreation Director DATE: March 16, 2022 SUBJECT: Resolution 2022-15 Amending TCAA Gym Fees Resolution 2022-15 amends the Twin City Athletic Association’s (TCAA) gym fees for the months of March and April. TCAA is a 501 c (3) organization that operates the City Adult Basketball League in Kenai, and facilitates other recreation programs in the City of Kenai. The proposed resolution is to waive the gym rental fees for the remaining games in the months of March and April. In July of 2021 the City of Kenai Parks and Recreation took over the operations of the Kenai Recreation Center. For the last eighteen years the Boys and Girls Club had operated this building and managed the popular City League Adult Basketball program commonly referred to as City League. When Parks and Recreation stepped in they started looking for a partner to help manage the league. Ryan Tunseth a local resident, business owner, and volunteer got an amazing group of people together and started the TCAA. In their inaugural year the TCAA amassed twelve adult teams. The games bring players and spectators from all over the borough to the City of Kenai. One way the TCAA has improved City League is providing online scheduling and competitive pricing for referees. Acquiring referees has become a struggle across the nation as the number of referees is decreasing and the demand for referees are increasing, which in turn makes it difficult in recruiting and appropriately paying referees. TCAA managed to organize the inaugural year of the City Adult Basketball League in an extremely short time frame just prior to the League beginning. They are hopeful that with a year of experience and an opportunity to fundraise they will be able to cover all gym rental fees for upcoming years. While the TCAA‘s first project was to oversee City League, this is not the only service they provide. Since their inception in November, they have talked about providing more recreation opportunities for adults and youth in Kenai. In the beginning of 2022 they successfully started and operated a middle school basketball league which had three boy teams and three girl teams. This league started after the Middle School Leagues ended, and provided a great opportunity for our local kids Page 10 Page 2 of 2 to play and hone their skills. This organization has hit the ground running and has provided the community of Kenai with exceptional recreation opportunities for all ages that do not exist anywhere else on the Kenai Peninsula. TCAA has already provided great services to the community that align with the City of Kenai’s Parks and Recreation goals and values. Your consideration is appreciated.

WHEREAS, the Ed Hollier field at Kenai Central High School has been without permanent restroom facilities for spectators since the school opened in the early 1960’s; and, WHEREAS, Ed Hollier field provides valuable outdoor track and field facilities for numerous school and community sporting events and activities; and, WHEREAS, due to the lack of permanent restroom facilities the user groups rent porta-potties which are expensive, unsightly and unpleasant to use; and, WHEREAS, every year thousands of spectators, parents, community members and athletes use the field; and, WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of the City of Kenai to support the Kenai Central High School’s efforts to secure grant funding for the purpose of constructing permanent restroom facilities. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA: Section 1. That the Kenai City Council supports the efforts of Kenai Central High School to secure grant funding for the purpose of constructing permanent restroom facilities at the Ed Hollier Field. Section 2. That this Resolution takes effect immediately upon adoption. ADOPTED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, THIS 16TH DAY OF MARCH, 2022. Brian Gabriel Sr., Mayor ATTEST: ______________________________________ Michelle M. Saner, MMC, City Clerk Page 12 Dan Beck Will Chervenak Jesse Settlemyer Brittany Stevens Principal Assistant Principal Athletic Director Activities Director HOME OF THE KARDINALS KENAI CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL Kenai Peninsula Borough School District 9583 Kenai Spur Highway Kenai , Alaska 99611 (907) 283-2100 Fax: (907) 283-3230 To whom it may concern, Ed Hollier field at Kenai Central High School has been without restroom facilities for spectators since the school opened in the early 1960’s. The lack of permanent restroom facilities has forced all user groups to rent and use porta-potties to facilitate this need. The porta-potties are expensive ($6,000+ per season!), unsightly, smelly, and unpleasant to use. Additionally, the Kenai community deserves a facility that they will be proud of when hosting home events. Kenai Central High School (KCHS) and Kenai Middle School (KMS) have fourteen programs that utilize the track and field for various purposes, some of those programs include: KCHS boys and girls cross-country running KCHS football KCHS and KMS drum-line and marching band KCHS football cheer KCHS boys and girls soccer KCHS boys and girls track KMS cross-country running KMS boys and girls soccer KMS boys and girls track KCHS and KMS physical education classes On a typical spring day, it is not unusual for over two hundred KCHS and KMS student athletes to be using the field. Currently, there is no running water or plumbed bathrooms for these student athletes. Throughout the year, thousands of spectators, parents and community members will also use the KCHS track and field. In addition, numerous local and community groups like Pop Warner and Kenai Peninsula Soccer Club are using the facility. Each user group must resort to renting port-a-potties to provide bathroom facilities. In a t ypical year, we approach $7,000 in rental costs. With ongoing concerns surrounding Covid-19 and the health and safety of our students and communities, we believe the construction of this facility makes sense now more than ever. The concept of the bathroom project is to have two bathrooms, concessions, and storage housed in the same facility. The estimated cost from the school district for the project is $250k. The school district has already created a financial account that could have matching funds attached to it as well. The goal is to raise $250k to pay for the materials and equipment needed for this project. Page 13 HOME OF THE KARDINALS The project has the potential to facilitate an academic goal as well. Students have already contributed to finalizing the design of the building in their computer-aided drafting class. The hope is to involve the construction students with building the facility based on the blueprints they developed. This will give our kids the opportunity to develop real-world hands-on skills as well as instill a sense of pride that “they built that.” Any donation that your organization is willing to offer is appreciated! Thank you for your time in consideration of this project.

ADOPTED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, THIS 16TH DAY OF MARCH, 2022. Brian Gabriel Sr., Mayor ATTEST: ______________________________________ Michelle M. Saner, MMC, City Clerk Page 18 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council FROM: Paul Ostrander, City Manager DATE: March 10, 2022 SUBJECT: Resolution 2022-18 – Five-Year Capital Plan The purpose of this memo is to request Council’s support of Resolution 2022-18 and the adoption of the FY2023-2027 Capital Improvement Plan. The Plan is a collective effort with input received from City staff and the community. Projects were provided by Department Heads starting last fall, and brought forth for discussion at the City’s various commission meetings in February. The document before you today is the result of those efforts. Beyond the recommended changes cited in the body of the Resolution, the Beautification Commission, while their motion recommended adoption of the FY2023-2027 Capital Improvement Plan with no additional recommendations, did provide a list of considerations that they wanted passed on to Council. Those included moving the Street Lighting Improvements project to an earlier year, leaving the Nordic Trail Lighting project where it is, adding the Leif Hanson Fountain repair to the Plan, and moving the Softball Field Shelters / Dugouts Replacement to fiscal year 2023. They also suggested utilizing any unspent funds from the Nordic Trail Lighting project into the Softball Field Shelters / Dugouts Replacement project. Based on the recommendations from multiple commissions and an inspection of the softball dugouts by Parks and Recreation personnel, the Softball Field Shelters / Dugouts Replacement project was moved to fiscal year 2023. Because the Nordic Trail Lighting project is grant dependent no changes were made to that project. The City does not have an estimate of the cost to dredge the Kenai River or the cost to fix the Leif Hanson Fountain so those were not included in the plan. The Street Lighting Improvement project was not moved and is still scheduled for design in fiscal year 2026. I would like to thank everyone that participated in the development of this document. Council’s support is respectfully requested.

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, 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.

Sounart Others present: City Manager P. Ostrander, Planning Directory R. Foster, City Clerk S. Saner A. Call to Order Mayor Gabriel called the work session to order at 5:15 p.m. B. Introduction – Mayor Gabriel & Paul Ostrander, City Manager Mayor Gabriel welcomed everyone and noted the purpose of the work session was to review and discuss the Draft Land Management Plan (LMP) and the recommended amendments to the LMP made by members of the public, the boards and commissions of the City, and Council Members. C. Public Comment Bob Molloy stated his appreciation for the approach taken with LMP specifically the public outreach and review by the board and commission of the City. He noted that he agreed with all of the recommendations made by the Parks & Recreation and Beautification Committee; with respect to the Airport Commission he disagreed with recommendation one and agreed with recommendation no two; and for the Planning and Zoning Commission he did not agree with recommendations three and four. There was discussion related to the importance of retaining land for noise mitigation from the activities of the Airport; the Airport Master Plan and future development of Floatplane Road; additions to the LMP to include evaluation of property for acquisition by the city for future public purposes; and ensuring that the LMP aligned with the Airport Master Plan and the Comprehensive Plan “Imagine Kenai 2030”. D. City of Kenai Draft Land Management Plan City Manager Ostrander noted that it had become clear through the meetings with the boards and commissions that the LMP was intended to be used as a tool by the administration to inventory and recommend uses for City owned properties and this work session would provide direction from the Council as to which recommendations should be formalized in to motions to be made during the LMP Public Hearing. The individual recommendations received from members of the public, City Council Members and the boards and commission of the City were discussed; and each map within the LMP Page 87 City of Kenai Council Work Session Page 2 of 2 March 7, 2022 was reviewed for additional possible proposed amendments or future public use of individual parcel. There was discussion regarding the financial obligation of the City to purchase Airport properties at fair market value if retained by the City; expanding the definition of dispose to include trade or donate; a parcel designated for disposal would still require Council action prior to final disposal; retention of specific parcels for the purpose of recreational activities; the LMP would eliminate the need for individual legislation items to define a parcels status of dispose or retain; and the possibility of parcels status being affected by the Waterfront Revitalization Project or the Bluff Stabilization Project. E. Council Discussion Discussion took place throughout the work session. F. Public Comment None. G. Adjournment The work session adjourned approximately at 8:40 p.m. Notes were prepared by: _______________________________ Michelle M.

Saner, MMC, City Clerk Approved by Finance: _________________ Introduced: March 16, 2022 Enacted: April 6, 2022 Effective April 6, 2022 Page 117 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager FROM: Brad Walker, Parks & Recreation Director DATE: March 10, 2022 SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3274-2022 The purpose of this memo is to recommend adoption of Ordinance No.3274-2022 increasing the Multi-purpose Facility Management Services purchase order to Red Line Sports. The Multi-purpose Facility has had an increase in use which was more than what was originally projected for the 2021-2022 hockey season. This is because of two factors. The first factor is last year we had a surge in traffic due to the numerous closings of other ice rinks because of COVID. This naturally increased the volume of teams wanting to use the Kenai Multi-purpose Facility for their games/events. The second factor is Kenai Peninsula Hockey Association (KPHA) has reported that it has more teams than originally projected for the 2021/22 season, and KPHA is hosting a State Tournament which is utilizing our rink. All these factors have created an increased demand for more ice. Originally the City had budgeted for $130,000 in revenue for FY22. With current estimated ice sales a ten percent increase in revenue is projected. Although the growth in sales increased expenditures for contractual services related to ice maintenance, the revenue associated with this exceeds the maintenance costs. Council’s support is respectfully requested.

Brian Gabriel Sr., Mayor ATTEST: ___________________________________ Michelle M. Saner, MMC, City Clerk Introduced: March 16, 2022 Enacted: April 6, 2022 Effective: May 6, 2022 Page 122 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager FROM: Christine Cunningham, Human Resource Director DATE: March 8, 2022 SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3275-2022 – Amending Kenai Municipal Code to Add a New Category of Temporary Employee Titled “Program or Project Employee” and Establish Benefits for this Category and Make Housekeeping Changes The Kenai Municipal Code (KMC) amendments requested in this ordinance are intended to create a new category of Temporary Employee titled “Program or Project Employee” and establish benefits for this new employee category. KMC 23.05.070 defines temporary employees as employees hired for a pre-established period, not to exceed six months. Temporary employees are ineligible for all City benefits, including retirement, health insurance, leave, and holiday pay. As a participant in the State of Alaska Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS), if the City wished to extend temporary employment beyond six months, the City would be required to provide retirement benefits under the PERS Participation Agreement with the State unless the position is exempted by resolution. KMC 23.40.010 addresses benefits for all non-temporary employees. This ordinance would amend these two sections of the Code to create a new category of temporary employee and establish benefits for this category, allowing the City to hire or extend the term of employment for a temporary employee on a full or part-time basis for more than six months in situations that warrant it, such as to supplement the workforce based on a skill shortage, increased workload, or to implement a special project or assignment without adding permanent employees. If enacted, this Ordinance allows for a new category of temporary employee to be hired for a period exceeding six months without subjecting the City to the substantial costs of a termination study (e.g., the requirement for a participating employer to pay for future benefits due to participating employees whose coverage is terminated in an amount calculated by the State). The amendment to the benefits section of Code provides benefits for this new employee category on a proportional basis, except for participation in the State Public Employees’ Retirement System. A separate resolution would be prepared for public hearing at the April 6, 2022 City Council Meeting to exempt this new category of employee from PERS. Page 123 Page 2 of 2 This ordinance also addresses a number of housekeeping changes to provide consistency in the City’s Municipal Code as well as clarify that participants working under the State of Alaska’s Mature Alaskans Seeking Skills Training (MASST) program are not City employees. The MASST training program is primarily utilized by the Senior Center, and the State of Alaska pays MASST participants as well as provides workers’ compensation benefits through a U.S. Department of Labor grant. If the City Council enacts Ordinance No. 3275-2022, the first example of how this new category of employee might be utilized would be proposed by Administration as part of the annual budget for the fiscal year 2024 to change the Temporary Grant Writer position from a 20-hour to a 40- hour-per-week position to provide the necessary support to pursue grants for the Bluff Stabilization Project as well as the funding opportunities that will be available through the Federal Infrastructure Bill for a preestablished period exceeding six months without creating a permanent position. These amendments are anticipated to benefit the City by providing greater flexibility in recruitment while providing a just and equitable compensation structure to recruit and retain an adequate supply of competent employees. Your consideration is appreciated. Page 124 March 9, 2022 The Honorable Governor Michael Dunleavy State of Alaska P.O. Box 110001 Juneau, AK 99811-0001 Re: Support for Senate Bill No. 166 – General Obligation Bonds Dear Governor Dunleavy, The Kenai City Council strongly supports the passage of Senate Bill No. 166, providing for the issuance of $325 million of general obligation bonds for the purpose of paying the cost of state infrastructure projects. This money will build Alaska’s economy by putting Alaskans to work building bridges, ports, roads, and other important projects around the State. Specifically, for the City of Kenai, these bonds will help build the Kenai Bluff Stabilization Project by providing critical funds in the amount of $6.5 million to help meet the local match requirements of the Federal funds that have already been allocated towards this project. The total design and construction cost for the Kenai Bluff Stabilization Project has a preliminary cost estimate of approximately $42 million; however, it is expected that the total cost will likely range from $25 million to $35 million. As the design proceeds, the Project’s scope will be refined, and a more accurate cost estimate will be generated. The City is using a total cost of $30 million for planning purposes while we attempt to secure the necessary funding for our required local match of 35%. The $6.5 million in funding from this general obligation bond combined with funds already secured or being pursued by the City of Kenai, allows the City to meet its approximately $10.5 million local match requirement and leverage over $19.5 million in Federal dollars toward economic activity in our State. This provides an outstanding return on the investment of the State’s money while contributing to a project that will have a significant positive impact, save critical infrastructure, and drive additional private capital investment in Old Town Kenai while preserving a significant asset that benefits the Kenai Peninsula and the State. From a financial standpoint, the issuance of General Obligation bonds as proposed by Senate Bill No. 166 makes sense for the State. Neil Steininger of the Office of Management and Budget has offered that the State has $1.3 billion in overall debt capacity, and the issuance of $325,000,000 in General Obligation Bonds is clearly within that capacity. He also advised that the debt service in the out years would be approximately $20,600,000 to $20,700,000 annually, providing the State with an affordable option to finance capital needs by leveraging low-interest rates when the State's savings could earn considerably more. Similarly, Deven Mitchell, State of Alaska Debt Manager of the Treasury Division stated that issuing bonds that qualify for tax exemption provides a significant advantage for the State. If the State invested available funds in similar securities that were taxable, the State would make more money than it would pay in interest expenses on the general obligation bonds. Page 125 Page 2 of 2 Senate Bill No. 166 provides essential funding for the City to complete the Bluff Stabilization Project, a number one capital project priority of the City for almost 40 years. Additionally, the sale of general obligation bonds appears to be a wise financial decision for the State, representing one more step that the legislature can take to help fund vital infrastructure projects and secure Alaska’s financial health and stability. Thank you for your consideration.

Commissioner Caldwell SECONDED the motion. Public Works Director Curtin provided a background on the development of the FY2023-2027 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), noting that there are approximately $100 million worth of projects identified within it. He noted that $28.1 million was recently awarded to the City for the bluff stabilization project, which will go towards the majority of the projects identified in the General Fund. He explained that the majority of funds are focused in the Airport, Water/Sewer, and General Funds, and provided further detail on some of the other major projects identified in the CIP. He noted that every City department and some commissions participated in the development of the CIP, and that it will be a great asset for our City to help direct funding towards our highest priorities. Further clarification was provided on the Apron and Willow Street Extension project. Questions from the commission included whether Department of Homeland Security grants are available for the Surveillance Camera project, and whether any of the projects can be tied into the Airport Master Plan. Clarification was provided that taxiways didn’t meet high priority so the majority of the projects would be funded by the airport, and that there are a lot of federal dollars expected that could help with funding some of these projects. Further discussion involved T33 display rehabilitation, relocation of the gravel strip, and adding the Airport Master Plan to the CIP. VOTE: There were no objections; SO ORDERED. 7. REPORTS a.

Saner, MMC City Clerk Page 135 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council FROM: Paul Ostrander, City Manager DATE: March 8, 2022 SUBJECT: Kenai Dog Park – Project Path to Completion ____________________________________________________________________________ In 2018, the City Council passed Resolution 2018-52, authorizing the use of an approximately 22,500 square-foot area of Daubenspeck Family Park for the construction of a Kenai Dog Park after a formal presentation by the Kenai Dog Park Committee at the Parks and Recreation Commission. The Resolution states a committee of community volunteers have offered to design and construct an off-leash dog park at no expense to the City. After a couple years of work on the project, the Kenai Dog Park Committee approached the City for funding. In response, in May of 2020, Ordinance 3211-2021, adopting the annual budget for FY2021 included a $25,000 grant to the Kenai Community Dog Park from the City’s General Fund. In December of 2021, Ordinance 3265-2021 appropriated an additional $63,000 in support of completion of the Kenai Dog Park, including design and construction. The total funding support provided by the City for the project to date is $88,000 to complete the initial phase of the Dog Park, which will provide a usable space, as well as adding additional items to improve functionality, including lighting, water, cameras, and assuring that the Park is ADA compliant. To date, the City has provided support from the Parks and Recreation Department on improvements to the property, including drafting the concept plan through the River, Trails and Conservation Assistance program and assisting with volunteer planning meetings, coordination with Peak Oilfield Services and L&J Enterprises for clearing and dirt work and with Salamatof Native Cooperation for dirt work and leveling of the area, assisting volunteers with brush clearing, tree pruning and original measuring/staking of the park, removal of approximately 30 beetle-kill trees, mowing grass growing in a cleared area, measuring and staking out property for fence work; meeting with Fireweed Fence to review layout, grubbing out a 15’x25’ area for small dogs, providing an update to the Kenai Rotary Club, and storing donated tires at the City yard along with trash cans that volunteers will paint. The necessary steps to complete the project are anticipated as follows: 1) After the snow is gone, or nearly gone, contract with a surveyor to create an asbuilt for the cleared area and the location of the installed fence posts relative to the surrounding property boundaries. Page 136 Page 2 of 2 2) Work with the Dog Park Committee to determine what areas they would like to pursue for expansion of the park to the South and Southeast, towards Daubenspeck Pond and Daubenspeck Road. 3) If expansion of the area is warranted, prepare a Resolution for Council consideration to increase the square footage designated for the Park. 4) Work with the Dog Park Committee to establish a scope of work for both the initial phase of Park construction and the additional items suggested in Ordinance 3265-2021. 5) Establish a schedule for completion of the project. 6) Establish a budget to accomplish the defined scope of work. Our Public Works Department will establish this budget. 7) If additional funds are necessary to complete the project, legislation would be necessary to appropriate the funds. 8) Bid the project for completion of the scope of work. Through the passage of Ordinance 3265-2021 in December of 2021, the Council directed Administration to create a capital project account for the Kenai Dog Park and add it to the list of capital projects the City is currently pursuing. Although the City did not have project controls in place at the beginning of the project, Administration understands the importance of this project to the community and plans to take on the project management role while working collaboratively with the Dog Park Committee towards completion of the Park. The continued involvement of the Dog Park Committee in the process, while unique when compared to other City Capital Projects, will be an important component towards the successful completion of the Park as a successful community asset. The Dog Park Committee has unique knowledge of the needs of those who will use the Park and will continue as a valuable partner and consultant for the project. The Committee still has significant funds that they have raised over the course of the last several years that they may contribute to the Kenai Dog Park project as they deem appropriate. Any items purchased or volunteer hours contributed by the Committee would need to be coordinated with the City to assure that efforts are not being duplicated and that the expenditure compliments and fits with the agreed upon scope of work.

As part of this study process, the study team facilitated a vision work session collect ‘high elevation’ community member input to understand opportunities, concerns, priorities, and initial desired programming for the area. Key takeaways and input will provide the framework for subsequent economic and planning effort by the McKinley Research Group team. Process Prior to the vision work session, the McKinley Research Group team worked with the City of Kenai to refine the session’s agenda and exercises. To build awareness and encourage participation, the City of Kenai constructed a webpage for the waterfront assessment which provided notification about the assessment and vision work session, sent postcards to property owners within and around the waterfront area, created a public notice in accordance with the provisions of the Alaska Open Meetings Act, published a notice of public meeting in the Peninsula Clarion, as well as a City Hall, Kenai Post Office, Kenai Community Library, and the City’s Facebook page. The work session was held on Thursday, February 24, 2022, at the Kenai Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Center. The session was opened by Paul Ostrander, City of Kenai City Manager, who extended a welcome and background of the Kenai Waterfront Revitalization Assessment. Corvus Design then led about 40 residents (including City staff) through a series of facilitated exercises. The session length was 1.5 hours. Attendees were broken into small groups of 7-8 participants to share their insight and ideas. In addition to collecting input, the facilitated sessions allowed community members to discuss the project, listen to new and opposing ideas, and develop trust in the project. Community members who could not attend the session can provide input through a Community Feedback Online Survey located on the City’s project webpage. A summary of the key take-aways and input received follows. Page 140 MCKINLEY RESEARCH GROUP 2 Synthesis Based on the Vision Work Session, the public desires and supports new development in the project area but not at the expense of impacting the existing uses, primarily the seafood plants, and the ability to access the Kenai River and its many resources. There is a desire to expand these uses for both locals and visitors, while protecting the natural environment. The public wants revitalization to be authentic, protective of the river and natural environment, be accessible year-round, and provide economic opportunities. There is a need to protect and celebrate the area’s history, culture, and outstanding views of the river, surrounding landscape, wildlife, and volcanoes. The phrase, “Build it for the locals, and the visitors will love it” is important in meeting these criteria. There is consensus the waterfront area be revitalized for mixed-use, including a destination facility or ‘anchor tenant’ such as a convention center, lodge, hotel, or other facility that meets local needs and draws visitors. The feasibility to create an environment that supports new businesses, such as restaurants, breweries, tackle shops, tour operators, and general commercial and retail, will need to be investigated to determine if subsequent planning are viable and if these businesses have market potential. The area may also support housing, boardwalks, park and open space, campgrounds, and recreation, as well as expand and improve river access and the needed support facilities. Integrating the existing seafood plants into the overall revitalization effort would meet the community’s desire to represent an authentic working waterfront. Further information is required to understand current landowner and key stakeholder interests, including the seafood processor’s future needs, safety, and operation concerns, and how these facilities could become vibrant components of the revitalization effort. Bridge Access Road is a high-speed highway and site access is challenging in its current configuration. Providing safe access to and within the large site will be critical to its success. Motorized and non-motorized users will need to be separated for efficient and safe movement of vehicles and freight and a pleasant setting for non-motorized users. Although utilities are in the immediate vicinity, additional utility infrastructure capacity will be needed to support the desired mixed-use concept. Through the creation of gateways, improving visual access to the site, and creating a new community destination will improve the visibility of the project area. And finally, also heard was the important goal to maintain or protect natural areas, the Kenai River and its resources, while improving public access. Limiting development to low impact uses, such as recreation and water dependent uses, was a priority, as well as identifying unique or sensitive areas that support preservation of lands, wildlife, and fish. Critical to success will be the development of incentives and other programs that will bolster economic development and facilitate private/public partnerships.

Per a statement from the National Animal Control Association (NACA), data is showing that pet adoptions are slowing, causing cats and dogs to spend more time in shelters. Because the animals are spending more time at the shelter, it minimized the number of additional cats we were able to take in. The shelter worked with people needing to surrender their animals by utilizing a waitlist system and providing them rehoming resources. Chief Animal Control Officer Hendrickson was interviewed for an article in the Peninsula Clarion titled “Covid changes shelter for the better”. The Animal Shelter hosted one student for the Kenai Chamber and Kenai Central High School Job shadow program on February 23rd. Officer Giordano participated in the 1 school 1 book program.

The changes began early this month after the code amendments became effective and will be slowly implemented to avoid unnecessary shocks to the portfolio. Preparation is also being made for renewal of the City’s insurances (general liability, property, workers’ compensation, airport, and marine). In discussion with our Alaska Municipal League Joint Insurance Association, rate increase are likely but should not exceed the limits of the City’s three year agreement which limits annual increase to no more than 10% excluding increases in insured values.

Just as many, we had staffing issues, shouldered financial hardship and dealt with uncertainty of an ever-changing situation. Yet, as you will see in Section 02, we also had the opportunity to see the strength and resiliency of our organization, the City of Kenai and its community. With our vested interest in promoting the City as "open for business" and the ideal community for bu sinesses, entrepreneurs, and job seekers who want to relocate, our partnership with the City of Kenai is the key to long-term success of this m ission . Though our mission to promote our community and the opportunities it offers wasn't always the easiest task during this last year, Sections 03 & 04 acknowledge our commitment to keeping our doors open and our staff available to our commun ity and visitors, no matter the circumstances; even if that meant working extended hou r s and providing bonuses despite our reduced FY21 budget referenced in Section 08. In partnership w ith many local businesses and organizations, Section OS provides a reference to all the opportunities, despite external circumstances, that our community has been able to t ake advantage of through the Chamber's services and its partnership with the City of Kenai. With the opportunity to facilitate meetings, host events and learn of our local history and cultures as referenced in Sections 06 & 07, our community and vi si tors are able to get a first-hand experience as to why Kenai is the "Best Place to ALASKA". As we move forward in 2022, our goal to promote, support, and advocate for our members and our community remains top priority as we look at the New Year as one of continued recovery, growth and resiliency.

Though the 2021 staffing was maintained at the re quired levels per the Facilities Management Agreement (see table below), the organization had to strategically maneuver through both the increased need for staffing levels due to additional development of programs and events offered by KCCVC and the lack of interested candidates for open position(s) due to rate of pay. Our need to both incentivize our current employees and attract new talent grows increasing ly. With the goal of providing KCCVC emp loyees with the best benefits/any benefits at all, the organ ization wi ll need to continually increase its revenues moving forward.
