OLD BUSINESS
Discussion -- ConocoPhillips Multipurpose Facility Naming Propose
Peter Micciche, representing ConocoPhillips presented, a brief historical overview of the
need for a sign at the Multipurpose Facility, and at the same time, provide other
income to the city. He noted, the proposal would be an advertisement and not simply a
donation by ConocoPhillips. If approved by council, Micciche stated he wanted to work
closely with the city and begin construction in early fall. Details of the proposal were
reviewed by Micciche.
Discussion of the Commission followed in which Sandahl thanked Micciche and
ConocoPhillips for forwarding their proposal and added, he was having a difficult time
supporting the proposal. He noted, he believed Council should adopt an ordinance
giving the Commission guidelines to follow for naming buildings, etc. before going
forward with the ConocoPhillips proposal. Commissioner Molloy agreed.
Sandahl requested approval of the Commission to pass the gavel to Commissioner
Molloy, acting as Vice-Chair Pro Tempore, in order for him to make a motion. There
were no objections by the Commission members.
MOTION:
Commissioner Sandahl MOVED to recommend to Council to draft an ordinance and
pass it, developing a procedure for naming and renaming facilities, land, fields, roads,
etc. before the Parks & Recreation Commission makes a decision. Commissioner
Wortham SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED.
Molloy returned the gavel to Sandahl.
ITEM 6:

Discussion -- Kenai Soccer Park Use Guidelines

closer to the development of the Park. Frates added, much of the language was
developed after hearing the various concerns from residents of the Evergreen area.

Kenai Soccer Park
Attached is admtt of the Use Management Procedures for the Kenai Soccer Park for your
review. All the proposed changes from our last meeting were made. Please advise me of any
other proposed changes at our next regular meeting of September 1, 2005.
Also attached is a Kenai Soccer Park map along with estimated annual operation and
maintenance costs.
There was some concem expressed about dust during the construction phase of this project. I
checked with Jack LaShot, our Public Works Manager, and he informed me that dust level
specifications are addressed in bid packages of this nature. Furthermore, there were questions on
whether a mound of dirt could be added to serve as a physical barrier between Evergreen
Subdivision and the soccer fields. Although this scope of work was not included in the grant,
large quantities of dirt could perhaps be acquired from other City projects occurring in the very
near future.

permission by the City, they have expressed interest in developing this area at their expense and
sharing perimeter areas with future field development, if needed. A representative will be
available at our September 1 st meeting to further address design ideas and to answer questions.

MEMORANDUM
TO'
COMMISSION/COMMITTEE/BOARD MEMBERS
FROM: Carol L. Freas, City
DATE' August 24, 2005
RE:
MEETING $ CHED ULE$
Because of problems in achieving quorums for commission/committee or board meetings over
the years, the Kenai City Council, at its Strategic Planning Session held on August 20, 2005,
discussed how participation might be improved.
Council and Administration recognize the value of commission/committee or board members
and that as volunteers, you have determined to give up personal time in order to participate
because of your commitment to the community. However, it is also recognized that lack of
attendance by a few can result in:
· A lack of quorum -- no business may be conducted without a quorum of the
whole being represented (a seven-member commission must have four members present in
order to conduct business).
· Loss of valuable time for those of the membership who do attend.
· Costs in staff time in preparing meeting packets, attending meetings, preparing
meeting summaries/minutes, copying packets, postage for mailing packets, and meeting
advertising, which average at approximately $300.00/meeting (Planning & Zoning,
approximately $500 / meeting or $1,000 / month).
In addition, the KMC 1.90.050(b) (a copy of which is provided to all appointees) states,
If the commission, Committee or board member shall be absent from more than
one-half of all the meetings of his/her committee, commission or board, regular
and special, held within any period of three (3) consecutive calendar months,
he/she shall thereupon cease to hold the seat.
It was Council's suggestion the members of our commissions/committees and boards be asked
to discuss this issue and offer recommendations for encouraging better meeting participation.
Keeping in mind the standard meeting day, time and place will remain as it is currently, please
consider the following:
1. Would you prefer the commission/committee or board meeting to return to a bi-
monthly schedule?
2. Would you prefer meeting only during summer months? If so, which months?
3. Would you prefer meeting only during winter months? If so, which months?
4. Do you, as a group, have other recommendations for Council to consider related
to commission/committee and board participation, i.e. combine commissions and
responsibilities, increase membership, etc.?
Thanks for your help!
