The Committee reviewed that application and noted that the second page of the application had
initially not been included but was provided later after it was requested by Chair Gabriel; the
project had already been completed and dropped off at the Kenai Parks and Recreation
Department. It was noted that it was probably a school project completed last semester; the
project was created when a member of the Dog Park Committee requested the applicant

provide something for the park.
Chair Gabriel explained the City Council’s past involvement with the Dog Park project, including
funding and land donations; the origins of the Dog Parks as a grassroots project were
discussed.
Further discussion involved who would be reimbursed, and previous Mini-Grant applications
submitted by Kenai Central High School. The Committee reviewed the Purpose statement
provided on the application and considered whether the project fell under its purview,
specifically the statement that grants are for start-up funding for small projects; it was noted that
the Mini-Grant program was not intended for add-ons to ongoing projects. It was also noted that
projects should have an immediate impact, and the installation date is unknown.
Postponement was suggested to allow Mr. Hartman to provide additional information, including
who would be reimbursed and preferably pictures of the project.
