MEMORANDUM
TO: City of Kenai, Council on Aging Members
FROM: Kathy Romain, Senior Center Director
DATE: April 7, 2022
SUBJECT: Fee Schedule
As fuel prices have been on the rise over the last few months, I believe it is time to look at our
suggested ride donations for the Center. The amount for a round trip in and around Kenai has
been $3.00 for quite some time. The amount then varies up to $10.00 based on the distance
away from Kenai. For instance, the amount for a round trip to Soldotna is $10.00.
I would like to suggest increasing the donation amount for round trips in Kenai to $5.00. I would
also recommend the donation amount stay the same to Soldotna as those trips are almost all
based on medical appointments.
Thank you for your consideration.
Does the Council on Aging recommend adding a suggested transportation amount ranging from
$5-10 to the City of Kenai Fees Schedule?
