MEMORANDUM
TO: Commission and Committee Members
FROM'~~ Cary R. Graves, City Attorney
DATE: August 27, 2003
RE' Commission and Committee Powers
The Council asked me to write a memorandum regarding the powers of the various city
commissions and committees (hereinafter "commissions"). KMC 1.90 outlines the standard
procedures for them. The general procedures apply unless there are speCific code sections
regarding the commission or committee that specify otherwise. KMC 1.90.020(a) states that
commissions and committees "shall act in an advisory capacity to department heads within the
City Administration." (Emphasis added.) KMC 1.90.050 states, "All acts of boards,
commissions and committees are subject to the paramount authority of the City Council."
The impetus behind this memorandum was a move by a Commission Chair to independently go
out for and craft a request for proposals tbr management of a city facility. In that case, it
appeared the CommiSsion Chair intended for the commission to bypass the City Council and
Manager and do its own process for the selection of management of the facility. Such a process
clearly exceeded the scope of the intended powers of a commission.
Of the various commissions, the one with primary independent authority is the Planning and
Zoning Commission. That commission has independent authority under AS 29.40 and KMC
14.05.010 for the determination of various zoning issues such as granting of variances or
conditional use permits. Those decisions, however, are still subject to appeal to the City Council
acting as the Board of Adjustment and then the Superior Court. In other areas, that commission
acts only in an advisory capacity to the city and borough.
The other commissions act almost exclusively as advisory bodies. They, subject to council
approval, adopt master plans for the physical development of facilities and some of them (e.g.
Library, and Parks and Recreation) also make advisory recommendations as to hiring of a
department head. The duties of the various commissions are in the code as follows' 1) Planning
and Zoning~KMC 14.05.010; 2) Harbor~KMC 11.10.010; 3) Library~KMC 1.57.010; 4)

Discussion -- Kenai City Cemetery Review
Frates began by thanking the Gettys for their hard work in keeping the cemetery in
good condition. Frates explained some of the discrepancies at the cemetery with
regard to enclosures, articles on gravesites, and vandalism. Frank Getty, t~e volunteer
at the cemetery, also explained some of the problems he encounters while working in
the cemetery which include'
· Vandalism-- there has been a tremendous amount of vandalism in the
cemetery and it makes it very di/ficult for he and' his- son to want to continue their
volunteer clean-up and repair efforts. Getty reported, he's observed several young kids
partying in the cemetery at various times throughout the night and asked the
Comnfission to consider establishing gate closure hours. Frates added, the Police
Department would take the responsibility of locking and unlocking the gate. Freas
added, a key to the cemetery would be available in her office as well as the police
department. Frates noted the pedestrian gate would remain unlocked.
MOTION:
Commissioner Sandahl MOVED to recommend City Council approve locking the
cemetery gate from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. from May 1,t to Labor Day (summer
months} and locking from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 a.m. from Labor Day to May 1,t (winter
months). Commissioner Gifford 81/ICONDRD the motion.
VOTE:
Hultber§ I Yes Sandahl i Yes B_~xter Yes
GiiIbrd Yes Castimore Yes Stein er Ab sent
MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
Other items discussed with regard to preventing vandalism at the cemetery included:
· Security Cameras -- Frates reported four signs would be placed on the
cemetery fence to read, "This facility is under electromc surveillance." Porter added the
Airport Manager is working with FAA on funds for security, cameras for the airport;
when the funds are awarded, a camera w/Il be installed for surveillance of the cemetery
as well.
· Fence -- Porter reported the fence would be raised to eight feet by the
airport. This work should commence within the month.
· Undercutting-- Porter reported the Police Department recommended
some of the trees be undercut to allow more visibility.
Discussion took place on grave enclosures and the encroachments some of them
cause. Frates ~tated he would contact those responsible for the encroachments and
will work with them to eliminate the problem. It was suggested the City should change
the section of the regulations regarding enclosures to read, "effective a certain date, no
PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING
JUNE 5, 2003
PAGE 2
additional enclosures will allowed." Freas noted some cultures place fences around
graves and that regulation would be difficult to enforce.
Discussion also took place on articles placed on graves and left. Frates suggested the
City provide a Proclamation designating a day for cemetery clean up and would be the
day old articlea would be removed. Frates continued, effort needs to be made to get the
community involved by establishing pride and ownership.
Getty reported he had researched plot rates in various.¢ommumties and found the
City's rates to be quite low. Getty recommended the City consider increasing the rates
by $100 for the 5 x 10 plots, $50 for infant plots and $50 for cremains. Discussion
ensued regarding the current rate structure. Freas noted, the last change was made in
2000. Castimore asked if the plot revenue went into a fund for cemetery maintenance
or if it went directly to the General Fund. Frates replied, it went to the General Fund.
Castimore asked if it would be possible to have the revenue designated for cemetery
maintenance only. Porter stated a fund could be established at anytime but pointed
out the General Fund already provides monies for maintenance and improvements at
the cemetery.
Discussion took place on the type of headstones being used at the cemetery. Sandahl
suggested flat stones be required on any new plots. Freas stated it was also difficult to
monitor as people place headstones on graves without the City being aware of it and
again the cultural background becomes an issue.
Discussion took place on expansion of the cemetery and Frates reported discussions
are taking place with the City Engineer, Airport Manager and the City Manager.
Frates suggested the Commission review the cemetery regulations over the winter
months to develop stricter rules to possibly use for the future expanded area'
ITEM 7: REPORTS
Commission Cha/r-- No report.
7-b. Director-- Frates reported the following:
· The City Council approved the budget at their June 4, 2003 meeting.
· The Parks and Recreation Department is working with the Boys & Girls
Club on the transition and fee structure.
· A large softball tournament is scheduled for June 14th.
· Dandelion control is a big issue right now and the Alaska Water Soil
Association has a grant to educate the public on how to deal with noxious Weeds and
will be meeting with the Department.
