MEMORANDUM
TO: Park and Recreation Commission
FROM: Brad Walker, Parks and Recreation Director
DATE: September 26, 2022
SUBJECT: Changing the perimeter plan for the expansion of the Kenai Cemetery
The Purpose of this memo is to seek the Recommendation from the Parks and Recreation
Commission on installing a landscaped perimeter around the Kenai Cemetery expansion. In
some of the original drawings, a fence was placed around the perimeter. However, the cost of
this fence would take up a large portion of the project funding that if saved could be used for
further development of the Kenai Cemetery expansion.
The following motion is respectfully requested:
Motion
Thank you for your consideration.
I move to recommend to the Kenai City Council that the perimeter of the Kenai Municipal
Cemetery is created by landscaping around the property.
