,
4-a. Rick Baldwin, LLC- Public Skate Ice Maintenance
Rick Baldwin and Nate Kiel with LLC requested assistance from the City with ice
maintenance at the multi-purpose facility. Baldwin noted, the after hours skating had been
more than originally anticipated and therefore required more maintenance. The requested
amount totaled $8,400 and calculated out to be two zambonis per day at $70.00 for 120
days.
MOTION:
Commissioner Wisniewski MOVED to recommend approval of $8,400.00 (120 zambonis at
$70.00 per day) to provide ice maintenance at the multi-purpose facility. Additionally, the
ice maintenance issue is to be reviewed again next year. The motion was SECONDED by
Commissioner Gifford.

OLD BUSINESS
5-a. Memorial Park- Sidewalk Addition -- To be discussed at the work session
immediately following the regular Parks meeting.
ITEM 6:
NEW BUSINESS
6-a. Discussion -- Municipal Park
Commissioner Hultberg handed out sketches of proposed improvements to Municipal Park
and explained the sketches were provided by Daniel Castimore. Hultberg explained the
three phases which basically would make Municipal Park a walking park and vehicles would
be prohibited from driving through.
Frates announced there might be some historic funds available that could assist with the
cost of the proposed improvements. The funds could be available if there is anything of
historic value within the park. Discussion ensued and concern was expressed that
determining historic value within the park may delay the proposed improvements. It was
also noted that this could be an area where the old artifacts could be placed. Councilwoman
Swarner recommended the Parks Director check to make sure the City has clear title to the
land within the Park as it may still be Mental Health lands. Frates stated he would obtain
title information and report back at the next meeting.
6-b. Discussion -- Multi-Purpose Facility Signage
Discussion took place on a sign for the multi-purpose facility. Frates will submit an
application to the State for placing the sign on the Spur Highway.
Discussion also took place on the status of the Erik Hansen Scout Park signage. Frates
reported the text and artwork were near completion. Both items will be put on diskette and
sent out for completion of the project. It is anticipated this will happen within the next
couple of weeks.
ITEM 7: REPORTS
7-a. Commission Chair-- None
7-b. Director-- Frates reported the following:
· The basketball teams started and the number of ladies teams were down from
last year.
· A red ribbon dance was held at the Center and there were over 100 kids in
attendance. Frates expressed his gratitude to the Kenai Elks Lodge for their continued
support by providing volunteers for chaperones, etc.
7-c. City Council Liaison -- Councilman Frazer provided a report based on the November
1, 2000 council meeting. Frazer reported there would be an all-day economic development
session on ,January 20th to discuss economic development in Kenai.

ITEM 8:
COMMISSION QUESTIONS/h COMMENTS
Commissioner Wisniewski stated he was a bit apprehensive at first about the tree remove
that took place over the summer but was now rather pleased with the results. Once the
areas were thinned out, it really improved the appearance in various parks and locations
throughout the city.
Commissioner Steiner asked if consideration was given to training volunteers to operate
the zamboni at the multi-purpose facility. Frates reported it was found to be very costly to
train so it was not a feasible option.
Commissioner Gilford requested consideration be given to placing Christmas decorations
in the vicinity of Carrs and McDonalds. Frates reported that 15 new decorations were
purchased and it was the Park and Recreation Department's intent to place them going in
the direction of Cart's and McDonalds.
Commissioner Sandahl reported he just returned from a trip and noted in one area that
several historic sites were well marked and flagged. Sandahl recommended it be done in
Kenai. It was noted that signs were already placed at some historical sites in Old Town and
these sites were also depicted on a walking tour map available at the Visitor's Center.
Commissioner Sandahl stated that the Parks and Recreation Commission spends an
inordinate amount of time discussing the multi-purpose facility and asked exactly what the
Commission's responsibility is.
Student Representative Steiner left at 8:15 p.m.

use the fountain concrete perimeter on which to set the memorial plaques instead of a
brick wall as previously discussed. He noted, the Parks & Recreation Commission felt
this was the best idea. Director Frates agreed to speak with Booth's Landscaping as to
placement of trees, shrubs, etc. at the Park and to add these to the map.
