City of Kenai Commissions, Committees and Council on Aging Review
This memo requests Council direction to the Administration for development of tools and methods
to clarify the roles and responsibilities for members of the City’s advisory boards, commissions,
committees and Council on Aging (Commissions). Having clear defined roles and responsibilities
will provide commission members guidance for the activities of their body and also reduce
dissatisfaction from members when they feel the commission is not meeting their expectations.
Purpose of Advisory Commissions. The role of each Advisory Commission is intended to bring
experience, expertise and opinion to advise the City on various issues, policies and matters. Each
Commission has a purpose that has been approved by the City Council, and each Commission
should make recommendations that fulfill the purpose of their appointed role and advise the City
on matters specifically related to their role as defined in code and policy.
Advisory Roles. The responsibilities of serving in an advisory role includes developing short-term
and long-term goals and making recommendations to the City. In an advisory capacity, the
Commission acts as an important source of information on a variety of issues that affect the City,
residents and visitors.
Commission Development Tools.
Each Commission should develop an annual work plan at the beginning of each year, the work
plan would then be submitted to Council for approval. The work plan would guide the work of the
Commission throughout the year. At the end of each year, the Commission would then submit a
final report to the Council for review of their activities.
Purpose of a Work Plan.
1.Documents that the work plan of the commission aligns with the assigned role, plans,
policies and procedures of the City.
2.Ensures the Council and Administration is aware of the work intended for the Commission
for the year ahead.
Purpose of an Annual Report.
1.Highlights key accomplishments, identifies completed projects and outlines various activities
of the last year.
2.Provides the opportunity for Council review of the commissions accomplishments and
confirms that the work of the commission continues to align with their assigned role and
work plan as approved by Council.

on them.

SUBJECT: Mid-Month Report-June
The Kenia Kite Festival occurred on June 24th, and hundreds of people came to enjoy it. Walmart
gave out over 100 kites for free. The day before this event, the Kenai Community Library had a
kite building class, and many of their kite builders came and displayed their custom kites!
Kenai slash site use has decreased compared to last year, but it is getting used every day it is
open. The use reduction is most likely due to the number of borough slash sites available
throughout the community. To date, the slash site has collected 48.38 acres of treated area.
Repairs to the Kenai Rec Center roof are almost complete. There will be several days when the
Rec Center will shut down as the contractors will have to shut off power.

FROM: Tyler Best Parks and Recreation Director
DATE: August 10th, 2023
SUBJECT: Mid-Month Report-July
The PU Fishery took place between July 10th and July 31st. This year, something new was our
bypass lane extension allowing local businesses and dip net traffic with valid passes to bypass
the shacks. The new lane helped local traffic access the Kenai Little League fields, Lee Shore
Center, Boys & Girls Club, Our Lady of Angels Church, and it helped alleviate traffic jams on the
Kenai Spur.
Kenai Little League held a new baseball tournament during the first weekend of the fishery, and
to accommodate them, we closed down part of the parking lot usually reserved for dip netters.
We allowed them to park and camp there so they could host their tournament. After the
tournament, we opened the parking lot to dip netters, except for a small section to accommodate
baseball practices.
The Annual Firecracker Tournament hosted by Kenai Softball Association took place at the
beginning of July, bringing Softball teams from all over the state to Kenai.
Mid-month at Millenium Square, the Kenai Wolfpack Rugby team hosted a tournament with 15
teams from all over the state.
On July 28th, we opened the Kenai Bark Park, Kenai’s first dog park. We currently have some of
the park fenced off to establish the grass better and additional agility equipment to add in the
future.
Kenai slash site is open from Thursday to Sunday, 10 am-6 pm, for anyone who wants to dispose
of slash. To date, the slash site has collected 48.38 acres.
