MEMORANDUM
TO: Council on Aging
FROM: Scott Bloom, City Attorney
DATE: February 1, 2024
SUBJECT: Proposed Amendments to Bylaws and Creation of Code and
Commission
On January, 11, 2024 Terry Eubank, City Manager, Shellie Saner, City Clerk, and I met with your
Commission in a work session to discuss possible changes the Council’s bylaws, creation of code
for the Council, and changes to KMC Chapter 1.90- Standard Procedures for Board, Commissions
and Committees, as well as other procedures (such as an annual work plan) with the goal of
improving the efficiency of your Council and making sure your valuable time as a commissioner/
council member is used wisely.
Attached to this Memorandum in Attachment A are proposed new code section for the Council on
Aging. The new code provisions convert the Council on Aging into a City Commission and codify
the general principals of the commission as provided in the current bylaws. In addition, comments
regarding each change are provided in red. These comments are for discussion purposes only
for this body.
In addition, a set of revised bylaws are provided for discussion and recommendation to Council.
These changes reflect discussions at your last meeting, as well as the conversion from a council
to a commission and housekeeping changes. The changes are shown in color blue and red
If the Council wishes to recommend Council approve the proposed codification of the Council on
Aging, a motion will be needed. For example, “I move to recommend that the City Council adopt
a new section of Kenai Municipal Code and amendments to KMC 1.90 as provided in attachment
A”. After the main motion has been made and seconded the subject will be before the Council for
discussion and additional amendments. If additional amendments are proposed they must be
made in the form of a motion, be seconded and voted on. Once discussion is complete and no
additional amendments are proposed, the main motion will be voted on. All proposed
amendment(s) that are approved by a majority of the council will be forwarded by the
Administration to the City Council in the form of an Ordinance, the Ordinance will also likely
include recommended changes from other City Commissions that are relevant to their code
sections. A similar process would be appropriate to change the bylaws.
The Administration will also likely recommend to the City Council moving code provisions
pertaining to commissions within the existing code for organizational purposes only, but a final
5
Page 2 of 2
recommendation on this change is still in the works. It would not have any material effect on the
Council.
Thank you for your consideration.

This sets out the duties and powers for the commission

The Council on Aging Commission may have its own bylaws approved by the City Council that

Members
Commented [SS1]: In the new proposed Council on

establishes that the commission conforms to KMC1.90;
and

the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council. This is no
longer needed in the By-Laws.
Commented [SS2]: City Council Policy 20.020 establishes
that action minutes for all commissions are produced by
the Clerk’s Office, from notes kept by the Department
Liaison during the meeting.
This conflicts with that policy, I recommend removal from
the By-Laws.
Commented [SS3]: This same information has been
included in the new proposed Council on Aging
Commission Code “Qualifications and Membership” I
recommend removal from the By-Laws to prevent any
future amendments that may cause a conflict between
code and the bylaws.
