Subject: Kenai City Dock
Council Members....
Copper River SeaFaod is hnppy to be duing basincss in the City ~f Kenai and does wish
to eontinue doing so urto the futw~e.
Copper River Seafood appro~riately followed azid bid accordingly tU obtain space on the
Kenai City Dock which closed [i~r bidding on Febniary 215~, 20~6 ac;cessing services for
Crane station 2 and 3 along with other sreas included.
Admittedly we ~re miffed as to the continuing reasoning behind dividiup thc dock spacc
after no ather bids were even submitted cxcept for a compiaint of the high bid price.
We bid aimost for crane Z and halFthe included working ~reas as we paid for the entire
works in 2005.
Now Kcith Kornclis is informing w of the possibility the nther dock pnsitaon bcing put
up for bid at a lowcr price for azz equal haLf oi'the serviccs again,
T(us would possibly allow somcone to move in and rzcccss an equal halt Uf available
services for wi~at we diligently bid !br crane #2 originaily. We certainiy would like to
ac:quire the whole doek, office, pazking and storage areas lonking at the new bid pric~.
Hawever...this puts us in an unfair position as we are being peiaaiized for 1'ollowing true
to y~ur originat bid requirements.
lf the city is pla~~sing on a(Fering the other spac~ at a Iower reduced price...we fecl we
shnuld be given a reductinn For the same amount on our origin~] bid price ati well.
Being that a reduction may be forthcomi~~~, we wnuTd be inclined to bid so we may
utilize the whale facility ounelves.
Histnry may have sliown ynu had rivo cc~mpanies in the past operat3nD on the dock, but
since lhis was numerous years ago, the rivez~ silt efiect has changed die aceessihiIity to ihe
third c~r up river crane. '1'his area of the dock is at times, useless due to tides and tlie
loading area actually ~oittg dry. A stuck boat cannnt fsh, be loaded or off-loaded

possibly at critical times. I~ence the reasoning we chose to hid for the one crane to assun;
us a position on the Kenai City Dock.
Alaska ~eparttnent of Fish and Game has indicated two-thirds L,ESS fish will be running
this season as there was last year, and knowin~; this Co~er Rivcr stiit wanted to provide
a fair hid as tthiis is a two year conuact. We also plan on utilizing the city buoy's a~td
ramps as we did last year paying for services rendered as utilized.
We have the opportunity to utili•r.e the scrviees of another dock on the river and purchase
fish for less cost than we are plann3ng on paying the city this year. We certainly wish to
continue using the Kenai City Dc~ck ~rowing our relatioachip with the City of K~nai.
We aze not in the habit of defaulting on commiUnents, but we also need to look at the
practicality of not feelin~ as if we are being put in an unfair position when the coniract is
changing after the t'ac:~ Specificaliy, offcring half of evcrything for less than original
price even though a full price of~"er was accepted on half o!' ehe original c;ontract.
FIopcfully the covncii membcrs ol'Kenai will recognizc and ~~ree with nur pasftion,
providing f or a rcduced vid price eguai to the asking of the 3rd crrane and ~foremcnti~ned
areas.

DATE: March 9, 2006
SUBJECT; Dock Leases - Copper River Seafood
The City of Kenai has three fish un~oading areas or stations with cranes on the City
Dock. The City operates Station No. 1 and leases out Stations 2 and 3 to the highest
bidder. We use to bid each station separately but have recently been bidding the
stations together. Last year a possible bidder asked the City to bid each station
separately. We thought there was going to be several bidders this year so we bid each
station separately. We set a minimum bid price of $20,000 for each station. Last year,
we bid both stations together and awarded both stations to Copper River Seafoods for
the bid price of $38,501.
The bid opening was on February 21, 2006. We had five companies on the bid holders
iist. We received only one bid, and it was from Copper River Seafoods. It was for
Station No. 2 at $35,621/year. Attached is Resolution No. 2006-08 awarding this lease.
We did receive the attached letter from Alaska Salmon Purchasing, Inc. at the bid
opening.

To whom it may concem:
After review of the lease agreement it is the opinion of Alaska Salmon Purchasers Inc. that the
minimum required bid for the tease of the City of Kenai Dock facility is too high. With the
upcoming predictions of harvest levels in Cook Inlet we do not see any way for the lease to be
cost effective for ASPI. We would be interested in bidding on a future lease agreement if this
agreement is not acted on by any operators this yeaz.

ORDINANCE NO. 2142-2006
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, AMENDING
KMC 14.20.290 TO CLARIFY WHICH ISSUES MAY BE APPEALED TO THE BOARD OF
ADJUSTMENT AND SETTING FORTH RULES REGARDING WHO HAS STANDING TO
BRING APPEALS.
WHEREAS, the intent of the Kenai Zoning Code (KMC 14.20) is to enhance public
health, safety and welfaze through, generally, the regulation of use of land; and,
WHEREAS, land use and zoning regulations do impose si~ificant burdens on the use
of privately owned land, which are necessary for the enhancement of public health,
safety and welfare, and,
WHEREAS, the authority and responsibility to enforce the Kenai zoning code is
primarily given to the Administrative Official and Planning and Zoning Administratian
under KMC 14.20 subject to appeals to the Boazd of Adjustrnent, and the state courts;
and the authority to grant some perxnits and variances is given to the Pianning and
Zoning Commission, subject to appeals to the Boazd of Adjustment and the state
courts; and,
WHEREAS, a municipality is required by AS 29.40.060 to grant standing to a"person
aggrieved" by a zoning decision made by municipal offacials, and the Alaska Supreme
Court has held that this shows the Legislature has chosen to limit standing in the
azea of land use law, in order to prevent excessive litigation and undue delay of fmal
decisions, Earth Mouers of Fairbanks v. Fairbanks North Star Borough, 865 P.2d 741,
743 n. 6(Alaska 1993). Additionaily a liberal rule of standing wouid potentiaily create
a land use battleground that would unduly ta~c the resources of the municipality in
addition to unpairing the free enterprise system and unduly interfering with the use
and development of private property; and,
WHEREAS, recent experiences of the Planning and Zoning Commission and Boazd of
Adjustxnent show there is uncertainty about the standing of persons to appeai under
the current Kenai zoning code, which should be eliminated by amending the code.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE YT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI,
ALASKA that KMC 14.20.290 is amended as set out in Attachment A to this
ordinance.

DATE: February 9, 2006
RE: Ordinance No. 2142-2006 (Board of Adjustment Appeals)
At the last meeting, Councilor Molloy asked how this ordinance would affect a late-filed appeal
similar to the one filed regarding the Wal-Mazt lease application KMC 14.20.290(a) ("Section
a") sets out the requirements for filing an appeal, including the filing deadline and standing
requiremenCS. KMC 14.20.290(b) provides that the CiCy Clerk shall reject any appeal that does
not meet the requirements of Section a.
Under the ordinance, if a person filed a notice of appeal that was late or defective because of a
lack of standing, the Clerk would reject the notice of appeal. To have s[anding to file an appeal,
an "aggrieved person" must be one of the following: 1) Either the applicant or the owner of the
property that is the subject of the Planning and Zoning action. 2) The administrative official (i.e.
the city manager or his/her designee). 3) An owner of property within the 300-foot public
hearine notice requirement of KNIC 14.20.280. For example, if the owner of property within
300 feet of the subject property was sent a notice of the action, he/she would be entitled to appeal
the action withouC a showing of adverse affecC on the's property. 4) The owner of real property
who can show an adverse effect on the use, value or enjoyment of their property. A property
owner outside of the 300-foot notice zone for public hearings would have to show an adverse
affect on the property. A person could not appeal based on an interest that is che same as the
general public.
The ordinance does not ban non-city residents from pursuing appeals. I do not think such a ban
would pass judicial scrutiny. However, it does require that a person must be directly impacted
by [he decision in order to pursue an appeal. That approach of limiting "standing" for planning
and zoning appeals is allowed. In Eanh Movers of Fairbanks v. Fairbanks North Star Borough,
865 P.2d 741, 743 n.6 (Alaska 1993), the Alaska Supreme Court stated that "standing in zoning
cases has been more restxictive than general standing principles, primarily Co prevent excessive
litigation and undue delay of final dispositions."
Please let me know if you have any further questions

CITY OF KENAI
ORDINANCE NO. 2142-2006
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, AMENDING
KMC 14.20.290 TO CLARIFY WHICH ISSUES MAY BE APPEALED TO THE BOARD OF
ADJUSTMENT AND SETTING FORTH RULES REGARDING WHO HAS STANDING TO
BRING APPEALS.
WHEREAS, the intent of the Kenai Zoning Code (KMC 14.20) is to enhance public
health, safety and welfaze through, generally, the regulation of use of land; and,
WHEREAS, land use and zoning regulations do impose significant burdens on the use
of privately owned land, which aze necessary for the enhancement of public health,
safety and welfare, and,
WHEREAS, the authority and responsibility to enforce the Kenai zoning code is
primarily given to the Administrative Official and Planning and Zoning Administration
under KMC 14.20 subject to appeals to the Board of Adjustment, and the state courts;
and the authority to grant some peranits and variances is given to the Planning and
Zoning Coinmission, subject to appeals to the Boazd of Adjustment and the state
courts; and,
WHEREAS, a municipality is required by AS 29.40.060 to grant standing to a"person
aggrieved" by a zoning decision made by municipal officials, and the Alaska Supreme
Court has held that this shows the Legislature has chosen to limit standing in the
area of land use law, in order to prevent excessive litigation and undue delay of final
decisions, Earth Movers of Fairbanks v. Fairbanks North Star Borough, 865 P.2d 741,
743 n. 6(Alaska 1993). Additionally a liberal rule of standing would potentially create
a land use battleground that would unduly tasc the resources of the municipality in
addition to unpairing the free enterprise system and unduly interfering with the use
and development of private property; and,
WHEREAS, recent experiences of the Piannulg and Zoning Coinmission and Boazd of
Adjustment show there is uncertainty about the standing of persons to appeal under
the current Kenai zoning code, which should be eliminated by amending the code.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI,
ALASKA that KMC 14.20.290 is amended as set out in Attachment A to this
ordinance.

MEMORANDUM
TO: / Mayor Pat Porter and the Kenai City Council
FROM: C~b Cary R. Graves, City Attorney
DATE: March 10, 2006
RE: Substitute Ordinance 2142-2006
This ordinance was postponed during the Council meeting of February 15, 2006 in order to look
at changes-primarily regarding the issue of standing. First, some of the paragraphs of the
substitute were rearranged to make it more readable. Second, the substitute ordinance has three
substantive changes.
Subsection (a)(3) was changed to allow standing for "an occupant or owner of an interest in real
property" who can show that the use, value or enjoyment of the property has been adversely
affected. In the previous version, only an owner would have standing. The new language
broadens the standing rules and allows a tenant to have standing.
Subsection (b)(6) was added to provide for a$100 filing fee. ThaC is Che same amounC requ¢ed
to apply for a conditional use permit. The subsection allows for waiver of the fees for persons
who cannot afford it. The language is sunilar to language in the Kenai Peninsula Borough code.
The thud change is language providing that the Board of Adjustment rather than the City Clerk
will decide any standing issues. The new language is in subsection (c).
Under the subsCitute ordinance the following people will have standing: 1) the applicant or
owner of the subject property; 2) [he City Manager or his/her designee; 3) an occupant or person
owning an interest in real property who can show an adverse impact on the use, value or
enjoyment of the property; and 4) an owner of property within a 300-foot periphery who is
entitled to notice under KMC 14.20.280(c)
If the CounciI wishes to broaden the standing rule more it may want to consider the following
additional change. Amend subsection (a)(4) [o grant standing to "any occupant or owner of an
interest in real property within a one-mile periphery of the subject property." That would allow
standing for persons azound the property whether or not they could show an actual hazm to
Mayor Pat Portu and the Kenai City Council
,'~Iazch 10, 2006
Page 2 of 2
property they occupy or own an interes[ in. The one-mile periphery could, of course, be enlarged
or reduced. I remain concerned that language basing standing on city residency would not
survive a judicial challenge. This additional language would grant liberal standing to area
residents and property owners without basing standing on ciry residency.
Finally, there was a suggestion tha[ a person should be able to file an appeal with the City
Administration, not just with Che City Clerk. If Council wishes To make that change, the
language in subsection (b) should be changed Co say the appeais "must be submitted in writing to
Che City AdminisCraCion within fifteen (15) days of the decision." My understanding is that the
Clerk is concerned that amending the process to allow filing with the City Administration couid
increase the likelihood of an appeal being lost or mishandled.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, AMENDING
LAND USE TABLE KMC 14.22.010 TO REMOVE FOOTNOTE 10 FROM THE LAND
USE CATEGORY OF "CHURCHES" IN THE CENTRAL COMMERCIAL (CC) AND
GENERAL COMMERCIAL (CG) ZONES IN THE LAND USE TABLE AND CHANGING
"CHURCHES" FROM A CONDITIONAL USE TO A PRINCIPAL PERMITTED USE IN THE
LIGHT INDUSTRIAL ZONE (IL).
WHEREAS, the Land Use Tabie is inconsistent because it applies Footnote 10 to the
land use category of "Churches" in the Central Commercial (CC) and General
Commerciai (CG) but not in the Limited Commercial (IL) zone; and,
WHEREAS, Footnote 10 requires a 30-foot setback to any adjoining street or property
line, which is excessive for a commercial-type occupancy in commercial zones such as
CG and CC; and,
WHEREAS, churches are a conditional use in the Light Industrial zone (IL) and a
principai pernutted use in the other commercial zones; and,
WHEREAS, the Light Yndustrial (IL) zone is very similar to the other commercial zones
in the Kenai Zoning Code; and,
WHEREAS, amending the Land Use Table to remove Footnote 10 from the land use
designation of °Churches" for the CC and CG zones and changing "Churches" from a

RESOLUTION NO. PZ06-12
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
KENAI, ALASKA, RECOMMENDING TO THE COUNCIL THAT THE LAND USE TABLE
IN KMC 14.22.010 BE AMENDED TO REMOVE FOOTNOTE 10 FROM THE LAND USE
CATEGORY OF "CHURCHES" IN THE CENTRAL COMMERCIAL (CC} AND GENERqL,
COMMERCIAL (GC) ZONES IN THE LAND USE TABLE AND CHANGING "CHURCHES"
FROM A CONDITIONAL USE TO A PRINCIPAL PERMTI'TED USE IN THE LIGHT
INDUSTRLqL ZONE (IL).
WHEREAS, the Land Use Table is inconsistent because it applies Footnote 10 to the land use
category of "Churches" in the Central Commerciai (CC) and General Commercial (CG) but not
in the Limited Commercial (LC) zone; and
WHEREAS, Foomote 10 requires a 30-foot setback to any adjoining street or properiy line,
which is excessive for a commercial-type occupancy in commercial zones such as GC and CC;
and
WHEREAS, churches aze a conditional use in the Light Industrial zone (IL) and a principal
permitted use in the other commercial zones; and
WHEREAS, the Light Industrial zone is very similar to the other commercial zones in the Kenai
Zoning Code; and
WHEREAS, amending the Land Use Tabie to remove Foomote 10 from the land use designation
of "Churches" for the CC and CG zones and changing "Churches" from a conditionai use to a
principal permitted use in the II, zone would make the requirements consistent in the
commercial-type zones and is in the best interest of the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
KENAI, ALASKA recommends that the Kenai Municipal Code be amended by eliminating
Footnote tDfrom the Land Use Table in KMC 14.22.010 as shown in attached Exhibit A.
PASSED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF THB CITY OF KENAI,

RE: Boat Launch Improvements
Dear Keith,
At your request I contacted Peninsula Construcrion to see if Peninsula would be interested in
negoriating a scope of work reducrion on the Boat Launch project in order to bring the project in
closer to budget. We proposed eliminating one of the two new ramps and reducing the
appropriate quanrities. Specific reducrions are as follows:
Reduce estimated quanrity of Type II fill by 250cy.
Reduce disposal of unsuitable material by 600cy.
Reduce geotexrile by 800sy.
Reduce timber Sill by 12001f.
Reduce Timber parking bumper removal by 251f.
Reduce parking bumper installarion by 1051f.
Reduce quanrity of Concrete Planks by 114 each.
Peninsula agreed to prorate the cost of work for all items. Construcring the project as bid, less
one lane of ramps, would result in a contract price of $356,175.
Sincerely,
~"~~--_ . . o . .

K NAl~fs A MEMORANDUM
TO: Rick Koch, City Manager
Larry Semmens, Finance Director
FROM: Keith Kornelis, Public Works Manager ~~
DATE: March 9, 2006
SUBJECT: Kenai Boat Launch Ramp Improvements - 2006
The Boat Launch Ramp project was bid on March 7, 2006. We received five bids with
the lowest from Peninsula Construction. Their basic bid was $451,600, and the additive
aiternate for paving near the ramps was $54,397.50.
Unfortunately, the City is $135,000 short to award the basic bid of this project. The
funds for this project come from a$350,000 state grant (with no City matching fund
requirement) and $20,250 from the City General Fund Boating Facility Repair and
Maintenance account. The City funds come from our existing operating budget for
replacing the pin piles for the fender piles at the dock.
~ recommend:
1.
ro'ect. In order for this project to be built by July 1, 2006~ (before the d p et'S
season) this ordinance needs to be introduced, passed, and become effective at
the March 15, 2006, Councii meeting.
2.
-- ---~- ~~~ ~~~ ~~•~~ ~~ ~~< <~ ~Cnmsuia construction on
March 15 after the additional funds are a ro riated. Even though the consulting
engineer's estimate is considerably lower, I think this is the best price we wiil
receive on this project. The bid specs are based on awarding this project on
March 15. If it is not awarded on March 15, the project should be rebid for
compietion after the fishing season.

were received and opened.
Bids were received as follows:

4. Biazy Construction Inc. $814,632.85 $59,895.00 $874,527.85
Peninsula Construction Inc. is the low bidder. All bids included all required submittals. We
analyzed the bids as submitted on the signed bid proposals and found an arithmetic ercor by
Blazy Construction Inc. on Item 70.08 Furnish and Instali Concrete Launch Plank they had a unit
bid price of $1,738.29, yet multiplied by $738.29 to get their Total Bid Price. There were no
other errors found on all of the bids.
I recommend that the City award the contract for Kenai Boat Launch Ramp Improvements
Project to Peninsula Construction Inc. contingent upon sufficient funds available in accordance
with the Bid Schedule.
A spreadsheet, including the four bids and the engineer's estimate is attached for your use.

Re: Public Hearing (McCollumfAliak Drives) Proposed Ass.
District
For: Public Hearing 2/1/06 7:OOpm
I own lot pa~cel no. 4509019. In regards to this new proposal
I have no objectian.
My first chaice of preference of assessing is OPTION #3 1
LOT OR 300'.
My second " " " " " " OPTION #2 1
LOT IN SUB
150' I N
UNSUB
My third °' '° '° " " " OPTION # 4 1
LOT OR 150°
The first Option seems very unfair as peopie with more
square footage pay much less and are able to have a higher
usage (i.e. apartments-townhouses and~at the least much
more parking-storage} The KPB in particular could have a
large amount of subdivided lots being served by these
Drives. Please consider this.
Thank you for your time.

Greetings m you all in the mighty state of Alaska! Since 1 no longer live there and currendy reside in Arizona it is very difficult to keep up on
your local happenings.
Since 1 do own a piece of proper[y that has a proposed assessment on it (Pazcel # 451103Z) t am wnting ro let you know that [ am very much
against this proposai. My propetty is vacant. There are no buildings of any kind on the propetty. It is just vacant land.
f do not underscand the comparison of different options sheet that (ist 4 options for my pmperty. How does this work? Especially option # 3 this
looks like a good option at first but then 1 start to look at it and it statts to look screwy??
Hither way, [ am ( 00% against your assessment.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Charles M. Kopp, Acting City Manager
FROM: Keith Kornelis, Public Works Manager ~
DATE: January 26, 2006
SUBJECT: McCollum & Aliak Drive Paving 2005 LID
(For City Councii meeting of February 1, 2006)
Attached is my memorandum to you dated November 29, 2005 with attachments
addressing different allocation options for this LID.
I have presented the same four options Council directed me to do in 2003.
Because of the extreme differences between the different options, I anticipate
rather strong opinions from the property owrrers.
As discussed in ourAdministrative meeting on the LID KMC regulations,
administration is suggesting:
until March 75. 2006. This will give the administration time to have a"Property
Owners Cost Allocation Me2ting." Hopefully, at that meeting the administration
can determine what ailocation option the majority of the property owners want to
use.
KK/njc
5. If Aliak were eactended east with a 50-foot ROW, Government Lot 53 would be affected.
I have not included this lot in the LID because their access is offthe Kenai Spur
Highway. It has never been included in this LID.
6. In 2003 I think that the Kenai Lions Club requested the city pay their share of the LID
because they are a non-profit organization and their lot is too small to build on (7,405
square feet).
KMC states that Option # 2 wili be used "Except as otherwise provided by law, ordinance, or by
Councit-approved policy..." We normally use the Option #2 methad, but have also recently used
a method where each lot pays an equal amount. (It would be $ 9,313/each lot for this project.). I
think council can decide whatever method they want.
Please find attached:
COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS
This spreadsheet compares Options 1-4. The lowest cost for each property owner is in bold.
Where there are two numbers listed, the first number is the maximum the city can charge based
on 25% of the KPB assessment plus the improvements, and the second number is what that
property's fair share is. Shown just below the total is what the city's exira cost would be for
each option if the city paid the amount over the 25%.
On December 7, the city council wilI set by reso(ution a date for the public hearing on this
project. The public hearing has to be within 60 days so February I would be the best date. I
have submitted the four options for the method to assess. A resolution directing the continuation
of this project will be at the public hearing. The council can decide then which option to use.
OPTLON 1
The local improvement district cost wili be allocated on a linear footage basis adjacent to the
improvements.
OPTION 2
The local improvement district cost wit[ be allocated on a square footage basis extending one
lot deep adjacent to improvements in the subdivided areas and up to 150 feet of depth in
unsubdivided residentiai areas.
OPTION 3
The locat improvement district cost wiil be allocated on a square footage basis extending one
lot deep adjacent to improvements to a maximum of 300 feet of depth.
OPTION 4
The loca( improvement district cost will be allocated on a square footage basis extending one
lot deep adjacent to improvements Yo a maximum of 150 feet of depth.

basis adjacent to the improvements.
OPTION NO. 2
A2.) The local improvement district cost wili be allocated on a square footage
basis extending one lot deep adjacent to improvements in the subdivided
area and up to 150 feet of depth in unsubdivided residential areas.
OPTION NO. 3
A3.) The local improvement district cost will be allocated on a square footage
basis e~ctending one lot deep adjacent to improvements to a maximum of
300 feet of depth.
OPTION NO. 4

Memo to Rick Koch, City Manager

March 9, 2006
B. I suggest using Option 3 in Resoiution No. 2006-04. I have based this on the
attached Property Owner's Recommendation Summary Charts which
summarizes the owners' recommendations.
C. Attachment showing the location of the LID and property owners.
City Council and property owners should be aware of:
i have deleted 399 McCollum Drive (lot owned by Falkenberg) from the
preliminary assessment role. The existing pavement on McCollum Drive
ends on the south edge of Magic Avenue. I have also reduced the Grace
Brethren share of the L!D by taking out the area that is paved next to them.
2. I have assumed that the easements and other land that needs to be
dedicated for right of way will be dedicated. i also assumed that Aliak, from
McCollum to the Spur, would be a 100-foot ROW and that McCollum wouid
be a 66-foot ROW. Therefore, I have reduced the affected property owner's
share of the LID appropriately.
3. There are many dimensional discrepancies between the KPB GIS maps and
various individual plats in this area. We will have a surveyor draw a complete
and accurate plat of this area and give the city an accurate square foot figure
for each property that is included in the L1D. These accurate figures wiil be
used in the final assessment role.
4. If Aliak were e~ctended east with a 50-foot ROW, Government Lot 53 would be
affected. I have not included this lot in the LID because their access is off the
Kenai Spur Highway. It has never been included in this LID.
5. The Kenai Lions Club has requested the city pay their share of the LID
because they are a non-profit organization and their fot is too small to build on
(7,405 square feet).
This is a complicated LID, but I think if we discuss and decide on one item at a time, it
wili become much clearer. Everyone at the "Property Owner's Cost Aliocation Meeting"
was in favor of continuing with this LID project.

B-1. Eric Wiicox -- McCollum/Aliak Drive Proposed Local Improvement District
Eric Wilcox, 416 McCollum Drive, Kenai -- Wilcox referred to his letter which was
included in the packet regazding his request for the McCollum/Aliak Drives' paving
district to be grandfathered in at a 75 (city)/25 (property owners) split in costs for the
project as was discussed and represented during their first petition submission and
subsequent work session discussion with council.
Acting City Manager Kopp reported on the discussion which took place during an
August work session and council discussed the receipt of $790,000 from state grants
and using a portion of the funds for street lights and the remainder for assessment
districts. Council instructed Wilcox at that time, a new petition would be needed due
to the elapse of time from the submission of the initiai submission and though
comments were positive that the project wouid be charged at a 75/25 split instead of a
50/50 split (changed in 2003), no consensus was noted.
The request for grandfathering in the McCollum/Aliak Drives assessment district at a
75/25 split was discussed and recollections of the work session comments were
affirmed that a 75/25 split was to take piace on the project if a new petition was filed;
Wilcox noted he represented to the property owners the split would be 75/25 when the
second petidon was circulated; and, enough funds aze available to complete the
McCollum/Aliak project.
MOTION:
Council Member Boyle MOVED to grandfather the McCollum/Aliak Drives Special

New KMC 14.25 (Landscaping/Site Plan Regulations).
MOTION:
Council Member Moore MOVED for the adoption Ordinance No. 2148-2006 and
Council Member Massie SECONDED the motion.
Jason Canoll, 40? Eadies Way, Keaai -- Carroll reported he is a banker and a
member of the KEDS Steering Committee; KEDS reviewed the ordinance; and, he
offered the following concerns with the ordinance:
• 14.25.015 -- needing clarification if someone may cut a tree down on his
property without first receiving permission from the city.
• 14.25.020 (2) -- requires an approved landscaping plan prior to removing
overburden, etc. (but gives no provision for what it must look like) and 14.25.030(a)
requires a commercial iandscaping plan with "common or scientific name oF the plant
materials to be used in the project" -- believes there should be a be a separate set of
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MARCH l, 2006
PAGE 7
guidelines for residential properties and commercial properties, or residential
properties be excluded.
• Believes should go light on residential owners regazding planning their
landscaping before they begin their project; believes the intent of wanting to stop
clearing of land and letting it sit for a long period of time is good, however some
consideration must be given to lack of sophistication on some owner/builders.
• 14.25.030(a) -- believes having to name the common or scientific name of
the piant materials to be used in the project is too specific.
• 14.25.045(i) -- referring to the map included in the packet, stated he
believed the area was too big; agreed paving should be included for the central core of
the city; and, believed it would create an anti-incentive for development, i.e. Kenai
Landing, etc.
• 14.25.060 -- requiring landscaping to be completed prior to the issuance
of a certificate of occupancy and if it is not completed, a temporary certificate could be

deductible plan would be raised from $1,200 to $5,000 for employee costs; January
would not be a good time for a major change in the program as the employees felt
more time would be needed to assess the health savings accounts and to review the
entire benefit package; and, because a plan could not be chosen by December, an
adjustment to the plan could be made in July.

It has been five years since the City contracted with me io develop a website desig~ for the

be brought into the 21 st century with a fresh, new design, something fitting for a community
on the move and one that embreces the newest in website technology. With that idea in mind,
i have created a DRAFT page i would like you to visit and review.
I have attempted to come up with a newer, fresher more inviting look and a design that is not
only "user-friendly" but visualiy appealing as weil. i hope you wiil agree. At this time I have
oniy upioaded the "fronP' page and one additional page for your review (which you wili find by
ciicking on the link at the top of the page titled "A Message From Our Mayor") top left on the

• The City of Kenai currently has an (estimated) 34 main pages within their website,

I hope you will enjoy the DR,4FT pages I have created, but please keep in mind that if the City
is looking for something entirely different then I what I had in mind, I am most willing to work
towards a design of your choosing.
I look forward to hearing from you and please let me know if you have any questions.

The Economic DevelopmenY Committee of the KEDS Action Team has made the
foilowing recornmendations, which were subsequently submitted to and approved by the
KEDS Acrion Team Steering Committee.
Millennium Sc~uare. We recommend that The City of Kenai pu2 out a RFP for
developmenY plans on the City-owned property known as Millennium Square. The RFP
should be drafted and released as soon as possible pending the completion of the
environmental risk assessment currently in progress. The RFP should include a copy of
the KEDS Plan to guide respondents as they develop their proposals. The KEDS
Steerin~ Committee feels thaf the proposed slate of developmenYs (Wa1-Mart, Lowes,
various restaurants, etc.) in the City of Kenai are very significant and will provide the
necessary incentive for professional developers to respond to the RFP.
Section 36. We recommend that The City of Kenai work with property owners on
re-platting the area lying Southwest of the Kenai Spur Hwy in Section 36. Because of the
eroding bluff, the current configuration of lots in this part of Section 36 is not conducive
to development. These loes should be re-platted so that the lots extend from the Kenai
Spur Hwy (or a frontage road parallel to The Kenai Spur Hwy) to the bluff. This would
allow property owners to situate homes far enough away from the bluff to account for
erosion. Since the City of Kenai is the primary owner in this section and there are a
relatively small number of other property owners, an agreeable re-plat seems possible.
The outcome of fhe re-plat would almost certainly be the eonstruetion of lar~e custom
homes in an area where the properiy owners are now relucCant to build.

The KEDS Action Team has identified as two goals relating Yo fhe City: (1)
holding a joint work session wifh the City Council each year, prior to April 15t to review
the CiYy's role in economic developmenY and to set annual priorities and (2) hold a ciYy-
wide Economic Forum before May 1 s` of each year to gather public input. At its meeting
held on February 13, 2006, the KEDS Action Team requested that I communicate with
you concerning both of the above issues.
With respect to Yhe joint work session with the City of Kenai, the KEDS Action
Team is available Co meet with the City Council at its convenience. We understand that
the time constrainfs of the City Council are perhaps more severe than those impacYing the
KEDS Action Team and so would defer to the City's suggestion of a meeting date,
should the Councii be recepCive to holding such a meefing.
With respect to the Economic Forum, the KEDS Action Team has deYermined to
defer the holding of such a meeting for 2006. The previous yeaz has been a yeaz in which
the group has organized, adopted bylaws, set up its working committees and begun to
address Che goals and initiatives it was created to oversee. The Team would prefer to
have an additional year of operational history~efore attempting to convene an economic
development forum. Additionally, the Team has been without administrative support
since before the first of the year and lacks the resources to properly hold such a forum.

Subject: Challenger Leaming Center
The purpose of this correspondence is to inform the Council that the Challenger Learning Center
has requested City assistance in funding the Center's utility bills (natural gas & electricity) for a
period of six months.
On Thursday, March 9`h, Cary Graves and I met with the Acting Executive Director, Lazry
Porter, at the Challenger Learning Center. We were informed that just recently the boazd of
directors of the Center was made awaze of significant funding and cash flow problems. In
summary the Center was found to have funding on-hand to sustain operations for approximately
two weeks.
The Acting executive Director is developing a business plan to facilitate operations in the future
but the Center is faced with cash-flow difficulfies in Yhe short term.
Attached please find the following:
l. Memo from Graves to Koch regarding review of lease between the City of Kenai and
the Challenger Learning Center.
2. Letter from Larry Porter to Koch requesting assistance for utility bilis for a period of
six-months. Estimated monthly costs to be $ 4,000, or $ 24,000 totai.
If the Challenger Learning Center ceases operations (abandonment) the ownership of the
building vests in the City and the City would be responsible for costs associated with the
maintenance and/or protection of the building. If as an asset of the City, the City became
responsibie for these activities, I would expect costs to the City to exceed $ 4,000 per month in
the short-term.
I recommend that the City Council direct the City Manager to negotiate an agreement with the
Chalienger Learning Center in which the City agrees to pay the monthly utility biils for natural
gas and electricity for the months of Mazch through August 2006, in an amount not to exceed $
24,000. This agreement and funding ordinance will be brought before the Council at the Apri15,
2006 meeting.

MEMORf~NDUM
TO: Rick R. Koch, City Manager
FROM:C~ Cary R. Graves, City Attorney
DATE: March 10, 2006
I2E: Challenger Learning Center
The issue has come up regarding ownership of the Challenger Leazning Center building should
Alaska Challenger Center for Space Technology, Inc. cease existence.
Section A of the lease provides that the City may cancel the lease if the premises ceases to be
used for the operation of a Challenger Learning Center for a continuous period of ninety (90)
days or more. The City must give thirty (30) days notice prior to canceling the lease. Under
paragraph D-14, if the lease is terminated, ownership of the buildina vests in the City
Paragraph 38 of the lease provides Chat the City may re-enter and take possession of the property
upon abandonment. If the corporation ceased operations, that couid consti[ute abandonment of
the property.
The Alaska Non-Profit Corporation Act provides a program for the distribution of assets upon
dissolution of a non-profit corporation. While the assets of non-profit corporations are
sometimes distributed to other non-profit corporations upon dissolu[ion, I believe the City wouid
receive ownership of the building under AS 10.20.295(2). That section provides [hat assets held
by a non-profit upon a condition requiring a transfer, will be transferred if the condition occurs
as a result of the dissolution. The dissolution would result in termination of the lease so the
transfer condition in Paragraph D-14 would take effect.
It is my understanding that the grant and funding provisions do not have reversionary clauses
requiring transfer of the property if operations cease.
For the above reasons, it is my opinion that the City would receive ownership of the building
should the non-profit corporation cease operations.
Let me know if you questions or need further information.

Dear Richard,
Thank you for the time you and Cary took this morning to review the financial situarion we
find the Challenger Center of Alaska currently facing. The Center is an asset to the City of
Kenai, The Kenai Peninsula Borough as well as the State of Alaska; it would be a shame to
allow it to close.
Currently we are in the process of developing a complete business plan and are running the
Center as a business, I believe for the first time. In order to have enough time to implement
the business plan we need some help from the City of Kenai. As you know if the Center
closes, the City would assume ownership of the building, improvements and building
' equipment without requirement of any deed, conveyance, or bill of sale.
We are asking the City of Kenai assume the utility bilis for a six month period as we
reorganize the Centeas' operation to financial stability. Currently these expenses are
approximately $400o per month. Please present this request to the City Council in the
proper form to allow distribution of the necessary fund for the Center utilities at its next
regular City Council meeting.
We appreciate your time and help in this matter.
Sincerely,
Larry Porter

Library Department Summary
Welcome. My name is Mary Jo Joiner and I am barely ahead of you on staff with the City
of Kenai. I moved here from Martha's Vineyard and started work on January 30`h.
I have landed head first inCo a project to design a library addition. City Ordinance 2137-
2005 increased revenues and appropriations by $20,000 in the generai fund and library
improvements capital project fund for building design and was adopted on January 4,
2006. In my first meeting with the Library Commission, we met with azchitect Peter
Klauder, who presented us with drawings and squaze fooCages for our existing facility. I
am currently working on a needs assessment and building program. As I started out on
these projects I realized that the library does not have any written plan outlining long and
short terms goals and objectives, with activities noted to achieve those. So I find that I am
trying to construct three documents in short order. I would like to see excellent customer
service placed at the forefront of our goals. This may mean changes in some of the city
code that regulates borrowing of materials.
The Kenai Community Library was built on the existing site in 1976 and was added to in
1987. In 1996 another plan for expansion was put to the voters and was defeated. That
effort was ten years ago and the facility sorely needs attention. Much of the collection is
housed on shelves that are too high to reach. Fumiture is place so closely together that the
facility does not comply with current ADA requirements. Librazy services have expanded
with changes in technology. The library is no longer merely a storehouse for books,
magazines and newspapers. There is an increased demand for computers, access to the
intemet, and programming space. Our librazy patrons can access the library via our web
page and can search our catalog for items. We could use a dedicated space for children
and teens who use the library heavily afrer school.
The Friends of the Library are committed to fundraising to help defray the cost of a
library addition. They have appointed a subcommittee to this end. This would include
applying for grants and alternative funding and/or hiring a consultant to help with the
process. I will be talking to the librarians from Haines and Homer, on the advice of folks
from the Alaska State Library, about their recent successes in construction and grant
writing.
I wiil be scrutinizing the library budget to see if I can find savings for the taxpayers there
without diminishing services. The librazy spends a great deal on computers, soflware and
maintenance of its' circulation system and I plan to review all contracts with vendors to
find out if there is a better and less expensive way to achieve the level of service patrons
have come to expect. I plan to review all processes and procedures.
In fiscal yeaz 2005 the total number of items circulated was 105,001, there were 73,123
searches of our library catalog, 16,005 uses of the internet on library computers and 1,513
new cards issued. The Kenai Community is a very busy place.
MEMORAi~'DUlOT
To: Rick Koch, City Manager
From: Larry Semmens, Finance Director~
Date: February 27, 2006
Subject: Finance Department
The Finance Department consists of four full-time and one part-time
employees, including a finance director who works under the direction of the
city manager. This department is responsible for virtually all financial and
budgetary operations of the City. The Finance Department processes
purchase orders, issues vendor checks, processes the City-wide payroll,
compiles the budget, processes all accounts receivable transactions including
the water and sewer utility bills and ambulance bills, and invests the City's
money. The department is involved in numerous day-to-day activities of
City operations, including special assessments, land sales, land leases,
personnel matters, insurance, pensions, computer systems and genera]
accounting. An audit of City finances is conducted each year, and the audit
report is presented to Council in October or November.
Currently the department is working on the budget. This is a labor intensive
project that results in the published budget document in June.
Other matters under consideration are:
Airport accounting restrucTuring and investment options
Credit card payments for water and sewer accounts
Consideration of inetering all commercial water accounts
Updating fixed asset records
Special assessment district accounting
Fraud prevention initiatives in our banking relationship
Health insurance options
Leasing issues
The finance director is on the Alaska Retirement Management Board and the
Alaska Public Entities Insurance Board. These two commitments can
invoive time away from the office, but have not materially impacted the
department's productivity.

The Kenai Fire Department has been in existence since 1952. As with many start-
up departments, it was manned solely by volunteers in the early years. In 1972
Che city deYermined that with the growing community, an expanding economy and
the increase in run volumes, creating a fu11'time, paid department was mosC
beneficial. At present, the department has I S Uniformed personnel and one
Administrative Assistant. The department maintains an ISO 3 for areas within 5
miles of our main station.
The DepartmenYs organization is made up of a~ire Chief, AssisCant Chief,
Battalion Chief and three crews made up of a Captain, Engineer and fwo
Firefighters. The City of Kenai has a deferral from the SCate Fire MarshaPs office
that allows us to provide Plan reviews, Code enforcement and fire investigaCion
services Co the citizens. The Assistant Chief is presentty handling these duties.
The Fire Department is unique in that it has a fairly large district of 36 sq miles.
We cover 12 miles of the Kenai River waterway including 3 miles into the inlet
and are responsibie for fire and EMS responses at the Kenai Municipal Airport.
This diversity mandates that we be trained zn a multitude of disciplines.
The Kenai Fire department has a long history of aggressive and proactive Fire
Prevention and fire mitigation activities inthe community. A month ]ong Fire
Prevention program has department members in the school almost daily
throughout the month of October. Mitigation efforts including the "Fire Wise"
programs that focused on the removal ofbeetle ki11 spruce in our community
continues today. C.E.R.T. (Community Emergency Response Training) is our
next focus of efforts to help educate the public and provide solid information on
how to deal with natural'disasters.
The Department maintains 2 ACLS ambulances, 2 Engines, 1 Squad truck, 1
Tender, 1 Ladder truck and 2 ARFF vehicles stationed on the airport.
In 2005, the department responded to i,212 calls and anticipates a slight increase
for 2006.

Kenai Senior Center
Description of Department
Senior Center
The city of Kenai has provided a wide variety of services to the elderly of the Central
Peninsula since September 1971. The Kenai Senior Center serves as a community focal
point for senior services where adults 60 years and older can come together to fellowship,
participate in programs offered, engage in opportunities for personal growth, and improve
the quality of their lives. Our Center targets those elders with the greatest social and
economic need, and people aged 75 or older, or who aze frail, minority, and /or low-
income. Our average age of senior that does participate is 83.
Funding for the Kenai Senior Center is provided by the City of Kenai, the Department of

is staffed with 10 employees, three of which aze full-time and seven part-time.
Coneregate Housin¢
Vintage Pointe Manor is a forty-unit senior housing complex located adjacent to the
Kenai Senior Center. The housing complex was constructed in 1992 using grant funds
from the State of Alaska. Rental rates vary from $564 -$684 per month, depending on
squaze footage and the location of each unit.
A resident cazetaker is under contract to provide tenant assistance and minor maintenance
of the facility. Supervision of management, rental contracts, collection of monthly rental
fees, purchase orders, maintenance requests and tenant issues aze handled through the
senior center office. Vintage Pointe Manor was built to provide secure, comfortabie
housing to middle income seniors aged 62 or older who are able to live independently.
Services Provided
Services and programs are available five days each week, yeaz-around, from 7:30a.m. to
430p.m. The center remains open most holidays. Our experienced and caring staff
makes every effort to ensure the continued independence of each individual. We aze
always available to provide emergency services no matter what time of the day or night.
Speciai attention is given to encourage participation of the tazget group. We continue to
work closely with other service providers, native organizations, medical groups and the
local community to inform them of the services we provide.
The following services aze directed to ensure the continued independence of the elderly
within our service district:
1. Congregate Meals 12. Housing Assistance
2. Home Delivered Meals 13. Personal Advocacy
3. Transportation

The Senior Center completed a kitchen renovation project in December of 2005. We
added approximately 360 square feet to the kitchen adding a new dish, bake and prep
azea, freezer, bake and prep area, with storage space.
Proiects Underwav or under Consideration•
The director and assistant director share an office. We have worked with the building
inspector to look at creating more office space to provide an o~ce for each in the most
cost effective manner. We have seen an increased demand of seniors in need to locate
many varied resources, assistance with the Medicare part D, reseazching prescription
drug plans, and assistance with finding proper housing, home health, and struggling with
many azeas of loss in our aging seniors.
The director is researching cost for a new home-meals van. This van would have hot and
cold azeas to keep food at desired temperatures. We would take the mini van we

SUBJECT: Department report for new City Manager
The departments within this segment of Public Works are the Pubiia Works
Administration, Pianning and Zoning, Buiidings, and the City Vehicle Shop.
Generally speaking, we are ail very busy this winter getting ready for summer
activity, dealing with proposed new growth and development within the city,
arci normal city functions. Budget preparation is also underway. The activity
this year has been greater than normal and should be an exciting time for a
new City Manager to come aboard. i'li briefly recap the current activities of
each department.
Public Works Administration
The two Pubiic Works Managers and the Administrative Assistant are busy
this time of year getting capital projects out to bid and ready for summer
construction. The specific projects are summarized in our Project Status
Report that is provided to the City Councii the first meeting of each month.
This wili be a very busy year with a large airport project, parks and harbor
improvements, environmental work, streets, water and sewer work, and
various maintenance projects.
Budget preparation, working with people in the community who are planning
to develop, and preparing for the Arctic Winter Games have ali contributed to
the high level of activity this winter. From all indications, growth and
development will be with us for the foreseeable future. Keeping our City
infrastructure at the level needed will be a challenge.
Memo to City Manager

February 28, 2006
Piannina and Zoninq
This department is undoubtedly the most active since inception. The staff is
comprised of a Pianner and an Administrative Assistant. Community growth
issues, implementation of our new Comprehensive Plan, coordination of
twice monthly Planning and Zoning Commission meetings, and upkeep of
the GIS system are the major activities. Personnel also provide computer
assistance and information to other departments and have helped coordinate
the new Airport Supplemental Pian. Year-end reports are available for ail
Planning & Zoning activities.
Buildinq Department
Citywide buiiding code compiiance and city-owned building maintenance is
combined within this department. The Building o~cial and two Building
Maintenance Technicians (one funded by the airport) comprise the staffing.
Ali routine building maintenance and coordination of maintenance contracts
are provided.
In the building code compliance area, residential construction activity
appears to be similar to last year. Commercial development should increase
dramaticaliy over the next two years with the planned large retail stores and
associated retail growth. While the Building Officiai is able to keep up with
current activity, the apparent future growth will be a challenge with the
current level of staffing. Year-end activity reports are also available for
Buildings.
Vehicle Maintenance Shop
A Shop Foreman and two mechanics repair and maintain all city vehicles,
heavy equipment and small equipment comprising over 300 individuai units.
A big issue at this time is the rising cost of parts and supplies, especially fuel.
We wiil need additional funds before the end of the current budget cycle.
Future goals at the shop include shop site remediation in the short terrn and
construction of a new shop facility in the longer term. The present shop is
inadequate for current operations. Acquisition of funding for a new facility
has been, and wili be, a major issue.

Report for City Mnnager '
February 28, 2006
Prepnred by Rebeccn Cronkhite, Airport Manager
The Kenai Municipal Airport is a Part 139 certificated, primary service airport with approximately 90,000
annual enplanements. The ai~eid consists of one 7,5'75 foot air carrier runway, a gravel strip and a float
plane facility. Buiidings include a 23,000 sq. ft. Terminal and separate Operations Facility, housing the ARFF
response vehicies and the maintenance and snow removal equipment. There aze four fuil time employees,
including the airport manager.
The primary responsibility of the airport staff is to maintain the airport in compliance with the FAA Part 139
Certification manual. The stated mission of the airport is "to be the commercial air transportation gateway to
the Kenai Peninsula Borough and West Cook Inlet." The vision of the airport is "a suong air transportation
center with passenger and cargo air carriers serving multipie destinations, general aviation facilities and
services supported by a well managed landside development program that wiil generate long-term revenue
streams and protect the airport environs from encroachment of incompatible land uses."
The maintenance and snow removal activities consume most of the airport resources. In addition, there are
several annual events that require a significant investment of time and resources:
^~ Mid May Kenai Peninsula Air Fair; in cooperation with the Soldotna Airport, FAA, Alaska Airmen's
Association, Experimental Aircraft Association, and vazious community groups, the annual Air Fair
and Fun Run (poker run) attracts pilots and aviation enthusiasts from azound Alaska for a day of good
food, military appreciation events, static displays and music.
~ Kenai River Classic; a premier community event attracting a wide range of participants. Last year ten
jets ranging in size from a Gulfstream V owned by Lockhead Martin to Gulfstream IV's and III's,
Falcons, Lear Jets and Citations all pazked at Kenai. The Airport staff assists with pazking, ground
handling, and assisTing pilots. Since the Airport started coordinating with the Kenai River Classic we
have taken a larger role in accommodating corporate jets and facilitating the arrival and greeting of
guests flying commercially.
~ Annual FAA Certification Inspection; this is the big one! ENA is a fully certificated Part 139 airport,
which means we foliow all the rules that the big airports foilow. It also means we are subject to a
yeazly inspection of all our operations and maintenance activities. Failure to meet the appropriate
FAA standazds can result in a variety of regulatory actions, the most severe being revocation of our
operating certificate.
~ Additionally, we have the annual review of our ASP (Airport Security Plan, DBE plan/goals,
Certification Manual and Wildlife Hazard Management plan. All FAA required documents.
The following projects aze `in the works'.
~ AIP 3-02-0142-3002 Airport Environmental Assessment: There are multiple projects within the
runway project including safety area improvements, runway overiay, lighting upgrades and drainage
improvements. This project took into account all projects anticipated in the next three years and
conducted an environmental assessment and a supplemental assessment of runway length needs on
both the main runway and the waterlane. The final draft Environmental Assessment was completed
December of 2005. Ready for closeout to start.
`~ AIP 3-02-0142-3103 Terminal Improvement Project: This project involved major improvements to
the access roads to the Terminal and associated drainage. The majority of the construction occurred in
'O5. Paving of access to lease lots to occur in spring `06. Grant closeout scheduled for August'06.

Prepared by Rebecca Cronkhite, Airport Manager
~ AIP 3-02-0142-3002 Security Improvements Phase I: This was a two part project to secure all the
gates on the airport, improve the fencing and install security cameras throughout the Terminal and air-
side of the airport. Monitoring equipment was purchased for the Police Dispatch Center and will
enable to City to add on additional cameras like the one recently installed at the ice rink. Closeout in
process.
~ AIP 3-02-0142-033-2004 Security Improvements Phase II Gate Modifications - continuation of Phase
I most of the security camera work occurred in Phase I and the Gate construction in Phase II. Majority
of gate installation occurred summer of 'O5. Some tenants aze stili dismayed that they aze no longer
allowed to drive around the taxiways in their personal vehicles.
~ AIP 3-02-0142-032-2004 Update Airport Master Plan Phase II. This was a long public process to
verify and revise the cunent master plan projections and capital improvements plan. This project is
commonly known as the Supplemental Plan and involves numerous suggested changes to the financial
and land use plans.
~ AIP 3-02-0142-034-2005 Construct Pazallel Ta:tiway. This was a major construction project summer
'O5. This project was substantially compieted with no runway incursions. Paving is scheduled for
spring ' 06.
~- Runway Safety Area Improvements: This project is currently in design. Airport manager is workin~
on the CIP Data Sheet and the grant application. FAA expects to fund in two phases with the total '
amount estimated at close to 11 million.
^~ General Aviation Vehicle Parking Lot. This is an airport project (not AIP funded) to construct a
pazking lot for vehicles at the south end of the airport. There aze numerous businesses in the general
aviation area that are growing and required more pazking space than is currently available on their lots.
We plan to build a gravel lot, and top it with rotomill asphalt from the runway project. This will
alleviate existing pazking problems and allow businesses located in that area to continue to expand.
This covers the main projects and events we are working on. The airport is a dynamic environment and the
daily activates and challenges aze difficult to enumerate. Arctic Winter Games activities aze consuming ail of
our energy right now but we continue to work on a number of ongoing relationships with prospective builders
and tenants. We aze alsa keeping a close eye on the Era Aviation bankruptcy proceedings and exploring
options with other carriers should Era discontinue service to Kenai.

SUBJECt: DEPARTMENTBRIEFING
DATE: 3/3/2006
The Poiice Department has 17 full-time swom personnei, two seasonal enforcement
aides, and one full-time department assistanVevidence custodian.
In CY2005 the Police Department responded to over 7,500 calls for service, of which 40
percent involved criminal offenses. The remainder of calls comprised of motor vehicie
crashes, municipai ordinance enforcement, suspicious circumstances, weifare checks,
civil/non-criminai offenses, agency assists, and other routine service type requests. The
department is also responsible for Airport Safety and Security during aii operationat
hours.
The basic patroi mission of the department is met by the assignment of 10
commissioned personnei to the patroi function: 2 patrol sergeants and 8 patroi officers.
Patrol teams are also supplemented by assistance from the Investigations Unit. 5 swom
personnei carey out the investigations function: 3 uniformed investigators, a Youth
Services Officer, and an investigations supeevisor.
The Youth Services Officer acts as Iiaison to all the locai schools as weli as ather public

The Kenai Police Department began 2004 in the shadow of tragedy, the violent death of Officer
John Watson. As with the 2003 annual report, this annual report is dedicated to John's memory.
The impact of this significant loss has revealed true courage, determination, loyalty &
dedication, and growth in the men & women of our police and communications departments.
The Police Department is responsibie for the operational and supervisory oversight of the
Communicarions and Animal Control Deparunents. This annuat report is a composite summary
of departrnent acrivities across a broad spectrum of the police function; requests for police
services, criminal investigations and arrests, motor vehicle crash data, community programs,
emergency response partnerships, and department employee biog~raphical information.
The Communications and Animal Control annual reports are attached.

as a Village Safety Officer in the Bristol Bay area, 3 years with the St. Paul Island Dept. of
Public Safety, and 5 years as an Alaska Stats Trooper stationed at the Soldoma post. His
presence has contributed to the wntinued high morale of the department with his constant good-
natured demeanor and positive, helpful attitude.

KENAI POLICE DEPAR7MENT
Patr01
In 2004 Officers spent 23% of their total work time on patrol. This 23% is a significant decrease
from the 40% patrol time spent by the same number of officers in 1991. This diminished
presence within the community reflects the increase in demands on police service and resources.
An active patrol presence increases compliance with traffic laws, reduces injury vehicle crashes,
identifies drivers with revoked/suspended licenses or criminai wazrants, and drivers under the
influence of alcohol and/or drugs. It further serves as a deterrent to persons who desire to
commit criminal acts, but choose to refrain from doing so because of the perceived strength of
police presence in the community.
Motor Vehicle Crashes
In 2004 the Kenai Police investigated 169 vehicle crashes out of a total of 362 reported; there
were a total of 349 crashes reported in 2003, of which police investigated 183. This decrease in
crashes may be attributable to increased traffic enforcement shifts specifically dedicated to
highway safety, with help in overtime funding from the Alaska Highway Safety Office.
Patrol resources are directed at identified high-risk times, high-risk intersections and stretches of
road, school zones, and the business district. The department completes an e~austive Motor
Vehicle Crash Report each year, which helps target resources where they are most needed.
Invesrigations
In 1991 the department had 16 officers who spent 23% of their total work time on criminal
invesfigations. In 2004, the department's 16 officers spent 45% of their total work rime on
invesrigations. Although this is a 4% decrease from 2003, it still reflects increased numbers of
crimes requiring greater police attention/investigation. This increase in investigation time
directly affects the amount of patrol time, and vice-versa; when there is a lack of proactive police
presence, criminal activity increases, necessitating a reactive police response. Investigations of
crimes requiring lazge amounts of time and resources are nearly always those reported after the
crime has been committed. Crimes discovered and interrupted by proactive patroi are often
potential "big cases" that never materialize because of eaziy detection and immediate police
action.
Investigations of significance in 2004 that received significant amounts of police manpower and
resources included four sexual assault cases, several cross-referenced sexual predator/computer
crimes by one person, one kidnap/sexuai assault, a home-invasion azmed robbery, a rivo-month
crime spree of busglary & vandalism & thefts, and a high-profile case involving the death of a
Kenai Assistant District Attorney.
Trainiag
The Kenai Police Department seeks to maximize training dollar efficiency while maintaining a
standard that will serve our officers well in critical situations as well as day-to-day operarions.
Required training must be in-depth reality-based training that truly prepazes an officer to respond
effectively to extraordinary incidents, not roll-call type training where a topic is briefly outlined
and discussed. Ongoing training is critical in maintaining a professional golice department.
KENAI POLICE DEPARTMENT
Civil and criminallaws aze constantly changing, necessitating continuous legal review/update,
which is carried out in-house. In August 2004 Kenai Police and Fire Departments participated in
a 3-day Weapons of Mass Destruction response drill with the U.S. Army 103`~ Civil Support
Team. This invaluable training prepazes our police and firefighters to work together with the
U.S. Army biohazazd/chemical weapons specialists for an effective response to such an incident.
In May of 2005 the department will be hosting the acmual statewide Alaska Peace Officers
Association training conference, which wiIi offer premier training for those in attendance.
Administrative Projects
Chief Kopp and Chief Walden continue to work through the Department of Homeland Security
program to upgrade the safety infrastrucriu-e of our city. The first phase of the Kenai Emergency
Operations Center was completed in March 2005. Antenna systems, antenna combiner, and a
Motorola Quantar radio aze now in place. Grant funding will be pursued for the EOC unri] it is
operational to a level sufficient for city needs and partnership interests.
The Kenai Municipal Airport security camera system has greatly enhanced the entire public
safety network. Communications Center personnel aze now visually d'uecring responding fire
units to minor aircra$ crashes on the runway, quickly ascertaining threats called in from airport
vendors and flight service operators, and sesponding to 91 I calis from Airport payphones with
much greater understanding of what is occurring. Vehicie pazking lots and aircraft itinerant
pazking spaces are abie to be monitored 24/7.
Chief Kopp is co-chair of Security for the upcoming 2006 Arctic Winter Games. This is
administratively time intensive, and much coordination is being done with the State Department
of Homeland Security, FBI, State Troopers, Municipal police agencies and many volunteer
groups.
Community Service
Officers aze involved in many community support groups. They serve on the boazds of directors
of the following non-profits in our area:
2006 Arctic Winter Games
Kenai Peninsula Youth Court
Kenai Peninsula Community Care Center
Boy Scouts of America, Explorer Post #460
Cook Inlet Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse
Leeshore Center (formerly Women's Resource and Crisis Center)
Kenai Peninsula Youth Detention Center - Citizen Advisory Council
Peninsula Crime Stoppers
Alaska Peace Officers Association
KENAI POLICE DEPARTMENT
Officers actively partner with civic organizations for Job Shadow, KPC Career Day, Health Fair,
Bicycle Rodeos, and other special days that broaden the horizons of our youth. Officers
volunteer in our communiry with the Boys Bz Girls Club, youth bowling leagues, Little League,
Pop Wazner FootbaIl, and other summer programs. Our area churches and youth groups also
receive a considerable amount of volunteer support from our officers.
Conclusion
In 2004 the palice department had 7,080 requests for service/investigations, up from 6,411 in
2003 and over half-again from the 4,817 calls for service in 1989, when Officer Chuck Kopp and
Officer Kim Wannamaker hired on with the department. It is a priority of the depariment to
dedicate the personnel and resources necessary to conduct quality criminal investigations. A
high solvability of major crunes is necessary for a perception of safety in our community.
The Kenai Police Department will continue to provide the very best in public safety services to
our City. The department is stable and has quaiity personnel with a strong public service ethic.
We will continue to be innovative and resourceful in our problem solving, crime prevention,
investigations, dipnet fishery management, and in our responses to all calls for service.

I2E: I3rownficlds Seminar
On March 3, 2006 I at[ended a seminar in Anchora~e on Brownfields Redevelopment in Alaska.
I~or me, the two most infoimative porCions of Che seminar were given by a devetoper and a
financial consultant.
The developer is f'rom Anchorage. She Icd a Brownfields redevelopment of a hiscoric miil on the
Tacoma waterfront thaC was a superfund site. The finazlcial consultant specialized in advising
clients doing Brownfietds redeveiopments. Among the projects he is working on is
redevelopment of an old nuclear reactor siee.
They suggested that a property owner fust needs to get an analysis of Che site to determine the
extent of' contamination of Che property. The Department of Envu~onmental Conservation calls
them "Cargeted assessments." A speaker From the DEC noted that the former FAA facility is in
the process of havnig one done on it.
The purpose of the targeted assessmenC is to tet DEC, EPA, the owner and che potential
developer know the coudiCion of the property and determine if the developer can become a"bona
fide prospeetive purchaser." That staCUS is impartant because it can fi~ee the developer of
environmental liability for Che property. That can be a critical (actor fc~r a developer. In the
Tacoma developrnen[, the purchaser took the property with liability. However, the
environmenta] assessmenC allowed the parCies to laiow exactly what kind of cleanuP would be
needed. The devetoper could then factor that cost into the project to see whether it was
financially feasible.
The speakers stated that the owner should allow the developer the flexibility to design a projeet
that will be profitable. One mistake governmental owners make is by [rying to mandate a project
that will not make money. In the Tacoma project, the ciry did a simple RFP asking what the
developer planned to do with the property. One of the proposals was to tear the historic building

down and buiid a park. The speaker's project was to remodel the building into apartments with
commercial space on the first floor.
The developer suggested setting a fixed price for the property and doing a simple RFP. The
owner can then pick the project it likes best or rejecY them all. The owner can also inform
potential developers of what it is lookuig for in a development. If a project is selected, a detailed
development agreement is needed to ensuxe the developer builds the project.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

RE: Storm drain outfall on Cook Inlet Biuff near the end of Redou e, Kenai, Alaska
Deaz Mr. Kornelis,
On February 7, 2006, I accompanied you to the site of the storm drain outfali line at the Cook
Inlet Bluff neu Redoubt Avenue. Mr. Brian I.owe met us on site. Prior to visiting the site I
reviewed several pictures that you and others had taken of the site within the last year, since
excavation activity had taken piace. On February 8, I met with you, Mr. Lowe and Acting City
Manager Charles Kopp at Kenai City Hall.
The purQose of the site visit and the meeting at City Hall was to gain information regarding
recent excavation activity performed on, and adjacent to, City Owned land, and then to offer my
opinion as to whether or not the excavation activity has jeopardized the outfall or adjacent City
property.
Site History
From review of aeriai photos of the site taken in 1963, 1981 and 1999, it appears that the bluff in
that area has receded in an easterly direction approximately 40 to 50 feet over that time period,
for an average of about 1 foot per yeaz. The storm drain outfall is thought to have been
originally instalied in the late 1960's or early 1970's. By the eazly 1980's, bluff erosion had
undercut the end of the outfall and storm water discharge from the end of the outfall had eroded
around the outfail. The eroded azea extended back into the bluff forming a large gulley. In 1983
a restoration project was constructed to help stabilize the erosion in the gulley and a concrete
outfall structure was constructed at the toe of the bluff to aid in dissipating hydraulic energy from
the outfall discharge. The slopes in the gulley were excavated to form a less steep slope and
seeding was applied to the slope to reduce wind related erosion.
By 1999, aerial photos show that the biuff had continued to erode and that the concrete outfall
structure was sepazated from the outfall pipe by 20 feet or more..
Site Visit
At the time of my site visit, the ground was covered with snow. Mr. I.owe described the work
that he had undertaken, consisting of excavation and grading to reduce slope steepness. Mr.
Lowe indicated that some material from the slopes had been brought up to the top of the slope
and spread out on adjacent land.
Keith Kornelis
81uff Erosion
February 24, 2006
Page 2 of 2
I understand that initially Mr. Lowe's operation had pushed clearing debris down onto the beach
and that Mr. Lowe had been directed to remove the debris by the Corps of Engineers. He said
that he had subsequently revised his operation in order to avoid pushing soil material down on to
the beach. He said that he had filled in some areas above the high water line in order to cover up
an exposed section of the storm drain outfall.
Mr. Lowe said that he did move the outfall structure down the beach and that he would be glad to
move it back to the location where he found it.
Opinion
Based on the limited review of the site and photos, it is my opinion ehat the outfall iine has not
been damaged by the excavation performed by Mr. L.owe. It does not appear that the work he
did will increase the rate of erosion on City property.
Recommendation
The city owned storm drain outfall line is located in an area of relatively fast bluff erosion. The
outfall line exits the bluff at an elevation of approximately 15-20 feet above beach level. When
storm runoff pours out of the perched end of the outfall, at a point that is relatively high above
the beach level, the runoff can tend to accelerate locai erosion. This is the type of condition that
probably led to the formation of the gulley behind the outfail and that continues to make the
guiley bigger to this day. It is doubtful that the effects of the storm drain discharge contribute
significantly to erosion beyond the local limits of the gulley.
In order to reduce the effect of the erosion, I recommend that the outfall structure be re-aligned
and reconnected to the outfall line. The outfall strucmre can aid in decreasing the energy from
the outfall flow and wili serve to protect the end of the pipe from winter ice. This work should be
considered to be a periodic maintenance procedure. The bluff is most likely going to continue to
erode and therefore continue to expose more of the buried outfall pipe. The bluff will eventually
recede enough that the outfall pipe will break free of the outfall structure and it will be necessazy
to again realign and reconnect the pipe to the structure.
The slopes in the gulley area shauld be seeded with native grasses in order to minimize wind
erosion.
Sincerely,
Bil~~-----~;_

Mayor Porter and Members of flie City Council of the City of Kenai.
This is in reference to the item you passed last wed at your meeticg.
It requires an owner of a building to NOT put a protective covering over the ~~indows if the building is
empty for more than 30 days. I believe tlus is wrong. T'he reason the windows aze covered is to protect the
pmperty from vandals. If a building is vacant what is one of ihe first fltings that happens? The windows get
broken. Right? Who &en is going to pay for repairs? If it was m,y buiiding , I believe I would come to tlie
Ciry of Kenai for tlte money to fix Uiem , because you would not let me protect my property.
Everybody agrees ihat seemg plywood over a window is not very good to look at. But I thnilc a better idea
for you to think about might be, is I~ave the owner paint the wood to inatch die color of the building so it is
notso noticeable.
I think tl~at. the building in question here is the old KFC buiiding. If the wood over the windows was
painted an off white to match the building it would not have drawn fl~e ire of those people that complained.
Thank you for your tune.

A Note f~^om the Execi~tive DiYector
Job Shadowl This year it rvent smoothlv. YYe placed the entire 1/th grade of the Kenai Central High
School irr the workforce for half a day. Half a Dav.' Seems lake a lot of work for haff a day, ba~t the results pay off.
rhe stude~vt~ come back to the luncheon all eccited about what they have learned first hand. And then we start
aalking to the hosts, and this is the fun part! This year Ed Krohn of Kenai Auto called after tlie Job Shadow pro-
gran7 to tell abaut his stz~dent. This studen[ is determined and espressed interest i~~ getting in the Vo-Tech pro-
gram oj'fered in Seward. As chance happens that evening Ed was ¢t Rotarv and tedting Dare HzUChings about the
Job Shadoiv program, well one thing led to another a~sd come to find otet GM has a program this sn~dent. Naw Ed
and Dave are working together and it looks like thas suedent has a bright future. And this is ichat Job Shadow is
all about - the future of our youth.
US Senator Lisa Murkowski, was our ge~est speaker on the 22nd of Februarv. As aluays it was a packed
house. She kept everyone entertained, answered questians and gave an cepdate on "[~hat's lrappening" in DC.
Tkere is a natural enthusiasm Jor Space. "To esplore where no man has oone hefore ", an infamous line
jrom the Star Trek Series. On February 23rd d:e Kenai Chamber of Conamerce Boarcl hosted oz~r j'trst Voyage to
mars at the Challenger Leaning Center: We started oJf the evening dining on `re-hydrated ° foad as they would
Aave in space, catered by oa~r Ciry' of Kenai Mayor Pat Porter a~zd Arby's; then we were split into teams we did
some team building exercises -each groitp assembled on n piece of cloth a bit smal/er than a sheet, now once we
}cere standing on this clotl~ we were ta tc~rn it over without getting off the cloth - it was close qc~arters to say the
least - but I do think the team L was on "won ". Then it was timer for the mission, one groe~p went In to the Mis-
sion Control Room and the other was on the Space Shuttle. Lisa Parker kept Julie Carroll hopping as the were
ocm Life Support Team - we last o,rygen severc~l tii~ze and 1 think ~hey poisoned the pas too, Scott Griffith played
Doctor, Steve Hansen studied rocks - is sandstone magnetic? And others had important jobs like navigator, ro-
botics and communications! After we safely landed and changed crews we had time to go into the planetarium
that is portable and they tote it to different schools to teach the starts - this was major ftm - it laoks like an igloo
you crawl in on your hands and knee.s and sit around ar lay on the floor. Thanks to everyone who participated,
I'cl saw we should go to Hawaii for oi~r next voyage as the temperuture was nvinus 14 at my house this morning!

The U.S. Small Business
Adminisfration's popular 7(a)
Loan Guaranty Program guaran-
tees Ioans of up to S2 million.
Many small businesses, however,
need much Iess than that for most
of business purposes. so the SBA
has deve(oped a proeram specifi-
cally to make smaller loans more
easily available.
The program, SBAE.rpress
(oan, has a maximum loan size of
$350,000, more than double the
average size SBA loan, with a
streamlined process that usually
results in a completed process
within 36 hours. The program is
nopular that so far this year,
~xpress loans make up more
tnan 60 percent of all SBA-guaran-
teed loans.
The streamlined process,
one of the many advantages of the
SBAExpress loan for both lenders
and borrowers, is made possible by
the agreements with qualified lend-
ers authorizing them to make eligi-
bility determinations without direct
SBA involvement. The program
allows lenders to appiy for 7(a)
loans using their own forms and
processes instead of the SBA's of-
ficial paperwork. In exchange for
that authorization, the SBA guar-
anty percentage is reduced from
the more typical 75 percent of the
loan amount to 50 percent.
Adding to the popularity of
.__.; SBAE.rpress is the fact that
lenders are not required to take

collateral for loans under ~25,000,
and may use Cheir own collaCeral
policy on loans over S25,000 and
up to $ I50,000. For larger loans,
SBA's general collaferal policy
applies.
SBAExpress loans follow
the 7(a) loan program rules on use
of proceeds; accordingly, they may
be used for a variety of purposes,
but there are also some restrictions.
The loans can be used:
• To purchase Iand or build-
ings, cover new construc-
Loans cannot be used to
refinance existing debt where the
lender is in a position to sustain a
ioss and SBA would take over that
loss through refinancing, or to ef-
fect a partial change of business
ownership or a change that will not
benefit the business. In addition,
these loans can't be used to reim-
burse funds owed to any owner.
This includes any equity injection,
or injection of capital for the pur-
poses of the businesses continu-
ance until the loan supported by
SBA is disbursed. They also can-
not be used for any "non-sound"
tion as well as expansion or business purpose.
conversion of existing fa-
cilities;
• To acquire equipment, ma-
chinery, furniture, fixtures,
suppiies, or materials;
• Por long term working cap-
ital including the payment
of accounts payable and/or
the purchase of inventory;
• To refinance existing busi-
ness indebtedn~ss which is
not already structured with
reasonable terms and con-
ditions;
• For short-term working
capital needs including:
seasonal financing, contract
performance, construction
financing, export produc-
tion, and financing against
existing inventory and re-
ceivable under special con-
ditions; or
• To purchase an existing
business.
Interest rates on SBAEx-
press loans are tied to the prime
rate (as published in the Wall
Street Journal) and may be fixed or
variab(e. Lenders and borrowers
can negotiate the interest rate, but
they may not exceed SBA maxi-
mums, which are up to 6.5 percent
over prime rate for loans of
$50,000 or less, and up to 4.5 per-
cent over the prime rate for loans
over $50,000.
SBAE,rpress allows revolv-
ing loans up to 7 years with matu-
rity extensions permitted at the
outset.For more information on the
SBAExpress and other SBA pro-
grams, visit www.sba.sov.

rr r r~* arn a few tips from Nationally acclaimed speaker Krista Rah~.
i ninx ot ait ox our v isuors as ~uests
Instead of thinking "Foreign' thiak "Intemational"
Realize that our impressions are generalizations. People from one country are not all alike aad do ao4 all l~have in th~ same way
Make it gour hospitality style to treat all guests with the same high level of kindness and service, whether they ar~ from your city or
from the opposike rnmer o the world
Cireetingx
Di{ferent forms of greetiag are used in various parts of th~ world
Handsbakes, cheek-kissiag, bowing, spitting, zubbing aoses, stickiag out toague.
Encountering Non-Fnglish $peakiag Visitors:
Speak slowly and enuaciake well
(taxi, bus, hotel__)
[ise simple words and don'f speak louder than normal
$tay away {zom slang
Write it dowa
Giving Directioas:
Use a map i{ possihle and give landmarks, use elemeats of time instead o{ milea
A Few Ideas about "Ambiance"
Facade improvement is important to a business for the following reason~
The [~isua[ Hmtdslaake: A pleasanC lookin~ buitding creates a pleasant feeling before the customer enters a store. It
makes people feel welcome and important.
Packaging: An attractively packaged business raises interest and expectations about what might be inside as an attrac-
tively wrapped gift.
Atritude Projecrion: The outward appearance of a business usually reflects in some way on its inward attitudes towards
its customers and the community.
Business Image: Architecture and the condition of store front make a strong statement about the image of the business
inside.
Adverrisi~:g: An attractive building is very effective advertising about the business inside, not only during business
hours but any time person passes by.
Customer Confidence.~ Shoppers feel better about buying from business that appeazs to be in business to stay. A poorly
maintained business can be taken as a sign of uncertainty and despair.
Social Needsr Most people prefer to associate with people and place that represent progress and excitement. Keep qual-
ity business which, attract good neighbors, who demand good buildings and the cycle continues.
While it is not always possible to carryout full fapade renovations, there are some relatively simple and inexpensive
things that can be done to transform an unattractive storefront into one that looks cared for. Attention to window dis- '.
plays and a professionally produced sign can help catch passerby. -
Paint and regular cleaning of the windows and sidewalks make a big difference in appearance. Enter your store from the
front and least once a day and look at it with the eyes of a intentional customer. Good appearance is good business.

Personal Development
People want to change for the better, but will usually
only make the effort when it is clearly in their interest,
and not just because iYs in the interest of the organiza-
tion they work for. When an organization helps people
become more positive and effective in their roles as
parents time and money managers, and emotional and
spiritual beings, those peopie will almost automatically
become more effective worker as a result, and their ex-
ample will serve as a spazk for others.

Kenai Municipal Airport
305 N. Willow, Suite 200
Kenai, AK 99611
Dear Ms. Chronkhite,
T'hank you for the outstanding support your staff, in particutaz Ms. Mary Bondurant, provided
my air crews during the recent grounding of the M/V SEABi7LK PRIDE.
On February 2, 2006, the vessel broke loose from the Nikiski Terminat wtule loading heavy
vacuum gas oil (HVGO) and unleaded gasoline, creating an urgent response from the Coast
Guard. USCG Air Station Kodiak responded to this safety and environmentat threat with two
HC-130H Hercules and two HIi-60J Jayhawk helicopters. Due to the distances involved fram
Kodiak, Kenai Municipal Airport played a key role as a staging azea for the response effort.
Use of your facility allowed my aircrews to expeditiously transport marine pilots, marine safety
inspectors, and provide other support to the M/V SEABULK PRIDE case. When the vessel was
ra-floated and Coast Guard aviation support no longer required, you continued to assist Air
Station Kodiak by allowing use of your office space for dependable communications and your
gazage for a storage area. This was particularly appreciated when one of the HH-607's
developed mechanical problems associated with the sub-freezing temperatures. Your stai~'s
extraordinary hospitality afforded my maintenance team and aircrews a respite from the weather
and enabled CG6021 to retum to an operational status as quickly as possible.
Thank you for your support to the Guardians of the Last Frontier.
Sincerely,
~.~-, ~~.~-{

KENA~ SKA MEMOIZANDUM
TO: Rick Koch, City Manager
FROM; Keith Kornelis, Public Works Manager ~~....~
DATE: March 10, 2006
SUBJECT: Kenai River Special Management Area Advisory Board (KRSMA)
Meeting of Maroh 9, 2006
t'~~~f
1991
Attached is the agenda for last nighYs KRSMA Board Meeting, it turned out to be a very
interesting, weli-attended meeting. The hot topic was Item IV.C. "Horsepower
Discussion and Clarification."
After much discussion, a motion was made to recommend to Department of Naturai
Resources that the minimum horse ower ratin on the Kenai River be incrPa~A~ f.,,,
35 HP_____ to 5p_Fip
i objecT to the way this recommendation was being done. The agenda item was for
discussion and clarification and the discussion went in ali different directions. I made a
motion to table the motion until next meeting when a written motion or resolution could
be given to the board before the meeting. There was no written information at this
meeting. The table motion failed. Another member and I were ailowed to abstain from
voting on the main motion. I did state that I agreed with the HP increase from 35 HP to
50 HP but thought more written justification should have been included.
I understand this recommendation wi11 go to the State Attorney Generai who can
subtract but not add to the board's recommendation. if this recommendation is
approved, then the change couid possibly go into effect in 2006. Other points of the
recommendation:
Rick Koch, City Manager
Page 2 of 2
March 10, 2006
1. No detuning - 50 HP maximum on serial numbers of outboard.
2. No boats larger than 21 feet.
3. Current boats that are larger than 21 feet are allowed or "grandfathered-in" until
2009 - sunset in 2010.
4. All 50 HP outboards must be in 2006 EPA emission compliance by 2007
5. KRSMA encourages State Parks to have education classes on boating procedures
for the public.
After the KRSMA Board Meeting, I was given the attached "Talking Points; Rationai for
Use of 50 Horsepower Motors on Ke~ai River." Aiso attached are the minutes of the
KRSMA meeting of January 12, 2006, and the Kenai River Guide Academy.

January 13, 2~06 (Revised)
Talking Points; Rational for use of 50 Horsepower Motors on
K.enai River
Much time and e~fort has gone into an examination of the various
concems relative to increasing the maximum horsepower nsage on
the Kenai River from the current 35 to the recommended SOo
l. Dr. Maynard's boat wake study (Phase One) states on page
60 that the Willie Predator prodnced between a 12 to 20
percent reduction in maximum wake power with the 50
horsepower motor compared to the same boat powered by a
detuned 35 horsepower motor.
2. At the KRSMA motor workshop held December 8, 2006 at
the Kenai River Center, the three local motor dealers present
all stated that there is NOT a one to one ratio of power to
hydrocazbon release. They all agreed tha.t if an increase of
unburned fuel were to occur it would be minimal. In fact
they agreed that with the oider carbureted models the
"detuning" could aciually create more unburned fuel release. .
3. The boat dealers that we have spoke with have stated that
boats propelled by 50 horsepawer motars wauld run no
mare than 5 miles an hour faster than if they were utiliz~ng a
35 horsepower motor: Currently, boat runs no more than 25
miles per hour, most around 20.
4: Not only will the waka be smaller as the boafi n~ns on step
but the initial maximum wave will be smaller and shorter
when fhe boat climbs up on step. This will greatly increase
steerage and safely as the boats forward movement begins.
Any boater will tell you that this is a very crit~cal time from
a safety perspective.
i,
5. Dealers are becoming increasingiy reluctant to detune
outboard motors for a variety of reasons. One is its impact
an the EPA emission standards; motors are not to be aItered
so as to meet fuiure ernission standards. One rnotar, the new
Eviruude E-Tech does not yet have a means of detuning,
This motor could the cleanest run.ning motor of all of those
currently on the market. All new motors are computer
controlled making the detuning process difficult and costly,
There aze also ever increasing concems far the warranties of
these new "detuned" high tech motors.
6. This regulation change (increasing maximum horsepower
allowed to 50) would displace nobody. There is no harmed
party to sue as was the case with the origina135 horsepower
limit. This proposal is Nat a new regulation, simply a
modafication of the existing one. Tt can be accomplished
with the Commissioner's approval. Such might require the
wtiting of a new regulation.
7. New motors like the E-Tech (two stroke) not only bum
cteaner but as they also use considerably less gas they also
cut dowa on emissions in that respect. Thus, there is Iess
pollutants into t~e river.
S. Enforcement will become an easier task as a1I ma,nufacturers
produce 50 horsepower motars. Tl~ey are all easily
idenlified as the numbers 50 are vncorporated in each serial
aumber. Since larger motors will nat be allowed to be
detuned, there will be no detuning allowed and thus far less
motor variations will exist. Enforcement will be greatly
simplified. Currently fhere aze as many as 2p differenf
"detune" configurations on different motors. Some are no
longer stocked by dealers for people wishing to detune a
used motor.
,-
,
9. Jet units will still be allowed, nothing will change. The boat
dealers da not see this as enaugh of a perfoanance increase
to create more jet unit use.
10. 50 horsepower motors will be able to power boats currently
utilized on the Kenai River such as the 24 ft. Willie in a safe
and proper manner. Boat dealers as well as thosa selling
motors do not anticipate that there will be a move to Ionger
and heavier boat because the necessary propu~sion is not
available with a 50 horsepower motor.
1 l. The Kenai Watershed sees no harm in the proposal and the
K.enai River Sportfishing Association endorsees it. The
Alaska Dept. of Fish & Game, Sportsfish Division has been
_ posi9ive of the proposal.
12. The Kenai River Professional Guide Association is in
ageement with the current regulation package. The boats
will continue to be loaded as they are currently and the
reduction in boat wake size will be meanuigful.

III. NEW BUSIIVES5
A. DOT BRIDGE UPDATE- MATT
Matt reported that the cofferdam has all the reinforcement in
the bottom and all the steel has been put in place for the
construction of the center peer. They are ready to pour
cement when the temperature will aliow, If everytiuug goes
as schedule they will remove the sheets for the cofferdam
azound the 3rd week in February, T'hey wouid like to have
these removed before there is any significant ice danirning on
the cofferdam itself. The girder fabrication is proceeding as
scheduled. which really drive the total completion of the
project and keeps them on schedule.

Dick asked how you get the steel warm enough to pour the
concrete. With the help of Enstar gas, they have been able
to set up 2 very large heaters to warm the steel.
B. Coastai Zone Management to make a short presentation
on Kenai River Easement status-Gary WilIiams
The Kenai Ri~~er Access program has been long standing, but
Gary believe he may have some momentum behind the
project and will be moving fairly quickly to finding some
resolution to the project. The River Access Project gre~~ out
of the Kenai River Comprehensive Management Plan in
1997. This p1an stated that there ~vas not a comprehensive
means of managing or deterrriining what kind of
managemeni should go on with respect to access points,
easements and right of way to the Kenai River. Noting that
trampiing of the ripaiian zone was going on and it would
only become worse over time. So the design of this project
was to respond to that. The Planning Department at the
borough did respond by writing a DNR grant. The grant
required that each access point be identify by there nature,
detenYUne what there management regime and to come up
with a memorandum agreement among those agency that
have management responsibility to detern~.ine how one would
nominate an access point that needs management and what
to do about it. In regards to this project we have ~otten
through the first several parts of it. Each access point has
been identified, studied and the management regunes have
been identified. The study is at the point were all the agency
that have management responsibilities need to discuss the
issues and problems that would ultimate be dealt with in a
memorandum of understanding with all the parties. We
contracted the work of studying the actual access point and
management regime analysis to McClean consulting and the
on the ground study was completed by Whiteford surveying.
With all the work completed all the information is now
digitized. Gary had a presentation of all the public access
points along the Kenai River. They have set up a program
that identifies all the points on a map. When a specific point
is selected a picture of the easement is presented with
information that includes the type of easement it is, where it
is located, improvements and encroachments, the type of
activity that is happening along the access, soil, vegetation,

slope, etc. The studv covers from Kenai Lake to the ~~a~-I-en
Ames Bridge but e~clude federai access points.
The next step is to coordinate a meeting of all t~e
interagencies. Robert Ruffner will facilitate this meeting and
is scheduled with DNR Habitat, Parks, Minir~g, Land and
Water, Fish and Game, ADpT, CIt}, of Soldotna, City of
Kenai, and Fish and ~~ildlife. Ttiis is to help recogruze a~~y
issue that needs to be addressed. The meeting date is for
late February or early March. One question that will be
address is if the access point is noi being approp~ate
managed, we asked how can we go about managing t~s
access point to reduce degradation to the riparian Zone. If
we can find a solution do we block the access and sign it.
Another option is to abandon the access point.
C. AccompIishments and Gvais k,ork session-Suzanne Fisler
Ken summarizes the points that were discussed at work
session before the regular meeting, Still on the list to work
on is
1. Second haif of the boat wake study.
2. Concerns over ultra lights and floatplanes using the Kenai
River as part of safety.
3. Addition of anadromous streams,
4. New User fee for all users on the river.
5• KRSMA Land additions.
6. 50 Horsepower review.
7• Working gl-ouP package.
If you wouid like to add anything to the list, please notify
Ken Lancaster, Jack Sinclair or Suzanne Fisler.

existing Commerciai user cosrunittee. Everytkung included on
the proposal ~~as passed unanirnously uriih the addition of
one point. That would be there would be terms for the
members that are selected for the board. There should be
some sort of staggering of the terms, so all the appointments
would be for 3 years except for one of the Kenai River
Professional Association and one from the general public
would be two-yeaz terms. This is a rune person body that
representing the IiRSMA Advisory Board, ADF&G
Department. Sport Fisheries Division, A DNR Parks Division
and a representative from the rental Boat industry. 'I~vo
peopie each will be from the Kenai River Professional
Association. Several of the position wili be appointed by
each of the agency and the others will be selected thi•ough an
application process. Ttus will be through parks, which in
tum wouid rank the candidates and then the information
would be brought baek to the KRSMA board for final
approval.
The board will advise on a variety of issues that concern the
guides along the river.
Ted moved to adopt Joe proposal to establish a Kenai River
Guide Board to become effective when the regulation go into
effect to fulfill that role as envision in the regulation.
Diek Hahn seconds the motion.
Robin asked what Jack S. felt about his thought about the
board. Jack first said that this would help with some of the
suspension and also other problems and concems that may
happen along the river.
Robin asked about the name of the board. Would this cause
a public perception problem calting this a board? Is there a
suggested different name? It was decided to be named the
Kenai River Guide Advisory Board.
This was passed unanimously.
The motion was passed unaiurnously to eontinue the process
of the guide board.
Joe brought up the topic about fishing tournaments. Bill
Berkhahn talked about the crowding on the river and how
we can improve education?
Jeff King put together a fact sheet for the 50 horsepower
motors on the Kenai River. Joe diseussed some of the key
points on the fact sheet. This is just for discussion not a -

motion. iVlore information needs to be reG~ewed before a
motion will be presented. This will be discussed more in
March.
B. Regulation Updates-Jack Sinclair
C. Buy Back Updates-3renda Trefon
The regulation package has been forwarded to the
Department of Law office and we are just waiting for the final
package. The or~iy th~g ~,e ~ow for sure that the 3 ye~.
payment is not going to move forward,
Joe said it is the thoughts of many guides that if the package
does not happen soon then we should not impiement this
package unti12007. It is takirig too long to finalize,
The board requested a tally of the public responses on the
regulation to be presented at the February meeting.
We had a coinnuttee meeting in November. Brenda took the
suggestion back to the Kenaitz members and she did a draft
program fact sheet. This sheet was not official, it is a
working document. The go~ is to have the project going in
2006.

A. Board Comments
kTCI,Zv~s
`~'`e~i commented that we went through the riori
and identified some of the areas the board wo~d ~e o work
on for 2006. Ted sincerely hopes that we have a
comrnitment from parks, specifically the director and that
the board is not wasting there time. We do allot of sending
of letters and not getting much response back. We have
been asking for things and proposing thingS and nothing
happens. This working group thing ~tates the dickens out
of ine because we adjourn in iVIarch of 2005 we e~ected to
come back in September 2005. The second phase of the
prograrn specifically remembers the charter was to develop a

fair and legal way of developing a numerical limit for guides.
We realize in the session thak we did not have eificient data '
to move fonvard with that premise. It was agreed that in
March we would get the data and move forward into the
second phase. There has been no commurucation as to what
may happen to the second phase of the ~rorkir.g group. Ted
does not want to waste his time.
Dick talks about the 2 new proposals about mixing zone are
in the senate. He asked if the board would send a copy of
Suzanne letter stating the position of the board on inixing
zones.
Jack commented that there might be a presentation on the
boat wake study by Mr. Transky at February meeting.
