SUBJECT:
Ordinance No. 3375-2023, Donations to Kenai Animal Shelter
The Kenai Animal shelter received an unsolicited donation recently from the Kenaitze Indian Tribe
for $3,000. A letter that accompanied the donation from the Kenaitze Indian Tribe, Interim
Executive Director Chelsea Hendriks, is attached.
In 2023 the Animal Shelter utilized some grant funds to host the first annual Kenai Animal Shelter
Animal Fair on the green strip in Kenai. This event was a success and the Shelter would like to
build on that, and host another fair in 2024. The Animal Control Chief would like to use a portion
of these funds to help put on that community event. The Animal Control Chief has also identified
some other small tool needs for the remainder of the donated funds.
The Animal Shelter is grateful for the support and partnership of the Kenaitze Indian Tribe in the
Kenai Animal Shelter's mission of making the community safer for individuals and animals.
I am respectfully requesting consideration of the ordinance accepting and appropriating those
donated funds.
