JTPA- Kayo explained it is a job training program for youth. They are
looking for someone to oversee the program in the area, but because of
administrative costs and paperwork involved, it seems cost prohibitive for the
city to take it on.

COMMISSIONER COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS
Kelly Gifford asked if there were any way they could get more swings installed at
Forest Lane park. Kayo responded that they need to get paths in first, and possibly
could put in more smaller equipment. They would know more once the bids come in
for the playground equipment and they can firm up the costs.
Richard Hultberg asked that the new members get maps of the city parks and past and
present budget information. Kayo responded that he would get the information to
them.
Amanda Baldwin asked that her address be changed.
Princess Lane, Kenai, Alaska.
It should be changed to 312
Kelly Gifford asked if the Christmas decorations could be upgraded. Banners were
getting faded. Kayo responded that they were looking at some new decorations for
next year.
