TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM: David Ross — Police Chief
DATE: April 8, 2024
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3414-2024 — An Ordinance Repealing Kenai Municipal
Code Sections 13.10.010(A)(2) -Miscellaneous Offenses, 13.10.020 -
Loitering and Sleeping on The Streets, Schools, and 13.10.030 - Curfew,
To Remove Certain City Prohibitions Regarding Begging, Loitering and
Sleeping, And Curfews in The City That Are Not Enforceable as
Specifically Written in Code.
This memo supports the removal of the following Sections from Chapter 13-Offenses and
Penalties, of the Kenai Municipal Code.
1) Remove Section 13.10.010(a)(2). This section deals will "begging."
2) Remove Section 13.10.020. This section deals with "loitering and sleeping."
3) Remove Section 13.10.030. This section deals with "Curfew"
These sections of Code are out of date, not generally enforceable as they are currently written,
and in fact, could be enforced in a manner that violates the rights of individuals. The Police
Department has not issued citations for any of these offenses in recent history. Case law that
impacts the enforcement of these regulations has evolved since these portions of Code were
written.
For example, "begging" or asking for help, itself is no longer speech or conduct that can be
prohibited on its own. Enforceable laws in this regard focus on specific conduct that threatens
public safety or the impairment of rights of others. Likewise, the City code currently prohibits
loitering, wandering aimlessly at night and sleeping in public. No definition of loitering is provided.
Sleeping in public has been a hot topic in the 91" Circuit Federal Court of Appeals recently, and
certain other municipal prohibitions are currently under review by the U.S. Supreme Court, but
under current applicable federal decisions our prohibition is not enforceable. The prohibitions
under existing City code are overly broad. Likewise, while curfews may be allowed in
municipalities under certain conditions, our prohibition does not contain necessary findings and
conditions to be enforceable.
While this ordinance would eliminate the specified sections of Code it does not change the Police
Department's ability to enforce State Laws and address illegal conduct as it currently does. Rather
than undertake a process to rewrite these code sections, it is recommended at this time that they
be repealed, and re-enacted at a later time should the need arise.
Thank you for your consideration.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM: Derek Ables, Airport Manager
DATE: April 19, 2024
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3415-2024 — An Ordinance Authorizing a Donation of
Surplus Sand from The Kenai Municipal Airport to The Triumvirate
Theatre for The Construction of a New Theatre.
By Ordinance 3219-2021, the City of Kenai donated approximately two acres of land with an
estimated value of $200,000 to Triumvirate Theatre, a 501(c)3, for the construction of a new
theatre in the City after their facility was destroyed by fire on February 20, 2021. In addition to
this land donation, the Triumvirate Theatre has requested he donation of approximately 5,000
cubic yards of surplus sand from the Kenai Municipal Airport for the project.
Federal Aviation Administration grant assurances require the City to manage assets of the airport
for the betterment and benefit of the airport. A community purpose exemption is needed to
maintain compliance with FAA grant assurances in order to donate the requested sand. At the
April 3, 2024 Kenai City Council Meeting, authorization was provided to seek a community
purpose exemption from the FAA to donate surplus sand to the project. The Airport's request for
a community purpose exemption was approved.
The Airport has determined the sand to be surplus due to its quality and the cost to refine the
sand in order to meet FAA specifications for use on the airfield. The sand is also located in an
easily accessible area, is within a short haul route to the construction site, and its removal is not
expected to cause disruption to Airport operations.
Surplus sand from the Airport is valued at $6.50 per yard and has been sold in the past in support
of development on the Airport and other City projects with compensation paid to the Airport by
developers or the City's General Fund. The estimated value of the requested donation is $32,500.
If approved, the requested donation of sand would be the first such donation to a not -for -profit
organization utilizing a community purpose exemption.
At the upcoming May 9, 2024 Airport Commission Regular Meeting, the Commission will provide
their recommendation on the enactment of this Ordinance.

We greatly appreciate the city's wiliness and commitment to this project. The donation of land to build this new facility
is a great blessing. Unfortunately, it is going to cost a great deal to develop this property because the water table is so =
high. Originally, the cost of developing the property was over $800,000, a staggering sum, especially for us. Thanks to
our architect and the city's administration, we were able to reduce parking, utilizing street parking to meet the require- 0
ment. This greatly reduced the area that had to be developed. However, the estimated cost of developing the lot is still
$408,000. I am looking for anyway to reduce that amount.
In order to pay for the construction of the $3.5 million dollar building that has already begun, we are going to have to
borrow up to $500,000 from the Rasmuson Foundation's PRI program. Although this loan program has an incredibly
z
favorable rate over a 12-year period, it still is going to necessitate a monthly payment. The less Triumvirate has to bor-
row from this program, the more sustainable our operations in Kenai will be after the building is completed early next
year. I don't want to build a multi -million dollar building in Kenai, just to struggle to keep the doors open and provide z
W
theater programs for the kids here and the surrounding area. The lower the mortgage payment on the building, the
more we can put into the children and youth of Kenai.
Thank you for considering helping us make our operations in Kenai as sustainable as possible. Every little bit helps and
will make a measurable difference in providing the best service to kids here in our community. a
Y
Best,

MEMORANDUM Attachment B
TO: Airport Commission
FROM: Scott Bloom, City Attorney
DATE: January 31, 2024
SUBJECT: Proposed Amendments to KMC Chapter 21.20 and KMC Chapter 1.90
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 code changes to KMC Chapter 21.20- Airport
Commission and 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 commission and making sure your valuable time as a commissioner is used
wisely.
Attached to this Memorandum in Attachment A are the code changes we discussed. The changes
are shown in legislative format. Underlined words are new suggestions while words in all caps
are suggested for removal. In addition, comments regarding each change are provided in red.
These comments are for discussion purposes only for this Commission.
If the Commission wishes to recommend Council approve the proposed amendments to code, a
motion will be needed. For example, "I move to recommend that the City Council adopt the
proposed amendments to KMC Chapter 21.20 and Chapter 1.90 as provided in attachment A".
After the main motion has been made and seconded the subject will be before the commission
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 Commission will be forwarded by the
Administration to the 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.
The Administration may also recommend moving code provisions pertaining to the Airport
Commission into a different section of code, from KMC 21.20 into KMC 1.90, for organizational
purposes only, but a final recommendation on this change is still in the works. It would not have
any material effect on the Commission.
Thank you for your consideration.

MEMORANDUM Attachment c
TO: Beautification Committee
FROM: Scott Bloom, City Attorney
DATE: February 5, 2024
SUBJECT: Proposed codification of the Beautification Commission and
Amendments KMC Chapter 1.90
On January, 9, 2024 Terry Eubank, City Manager, Shellie Saner, City Clerk, and I met with your
Committee in a work session to discuss possible changes to the Beautification Committee and
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
committee and making sure your valuable time as a member of this body is used wisely.
Attached to this Memorandum in Attachment A are the code changes we discussed. The changes
are shown in legislative format. Underlined words are new suggestions while words in all caps
are suggested for removal. In addition, comments regarding each change are provided in red.
These comments are for discussion purposes only for this Committee.
If the Committee wishes to recommend Council approve the proposed amendments to code, a
motion will be needed. For example, 1 move to recommend that the City Council adopt the
proposed enactment of code for the Beautification Commission and amendments KMC Chapter
1.90 as provided in attachment A". After the main motion has been made and seconded the
subject will be before the committee 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 Committee
will be forwarded by the Administration to the 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.
The Administration will also recommend an appropriate location in the City's Code of Ordinances
for this newly proposed code section for organizational purposes only, but a final recommendation
on this change is still in the works. It would not have any material effect on the
Committee/Commission.
Thank you for your consideration.

(if this body is to be established permanently in code, we recommend changing it from a
temporary committee to a permanent commission)
Sections:
XX.XX.XXX Purpose.
XX.XX.XXX Duties and powers.
XX.XX.XXX Purpose.
The purpose of the Beautification Commission is to advise the Council and administration on
enhancing the appearance of the City. This proposed new section of code is intended to clearly
state the purpose of the commission. Beautification means enhancing or improving the
appearance of something or someone.
XX.XX.XXX Duties and powers.
(a) The Beautification Commission will:
1) Advise administration on seasonal disolays and decorations promoted by the Cit
(2) Advise administration on selection of annual plantings of flora to be displayed in
the City,
(3) Advise Council and administration on City beautification issues as requested by the
Council or administration. and
(4) Submit annually to the City Manager and Council, not less than ninety days prior to
the beginning of the budget year, a list of the recommended capital improvements
which, in the opinion of the Commission, are necessary or desirable to be constructed
during the forthcoming five-year period. Such list shall be arranged in order of
preference, with recommendations as to which projects are recommended for
construction in which year. These proposed duties were discussed with the
beautification committee. They allow flexibility to allow the Commission to advise as
needed when requested by administration or Council and also provide some specific
duties. It is important to recognize that the City already has a parks and recreation
commission and planning commissions, and this proposed newly created commission
would be distinct and have a different area of focus though it could assist other
departments as needed when requested by administration or the City Council.

MEMORANDUM Attachment D
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
recommendation on this change is still in the works. It would not have any material effect on the
Council.
Thank you for your consideration.

MEMORANDUM
210 Fidalgo Ave, Kenai, AK 99611-7794 1907.283.7535 1 www.6nai.city
TO: Harbor Commission
Attachment F
FROM: Scott Bloom, City Attorney
DATE: February 5, 2024
SUBJECT: Proposed Amendments to KMC Chapter 11.10 and KMC Chapter 1.90
On January, 8, 2024 Terry Eubank, City Manager, Shellie Saner, City Clerk, and I met with your
Commission in a work session to discuss possible code changes to KMC Chapter 11.10 - Harbor
Commission and 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 commission and making sure your valuable time as a commissioner is used
wisely.
Attached to this Memorandum in Attachment A are the code changes we discussed. The changes
are shown in legislative format. Underlined words are new suggestions while words in all caps
are suggested for removal. In addition, comments regarding each change are provided in red.
These comments are for discussion purposes only for this Commission.
If the Commission wishes to recommend Council approve the proposed amendments to code, a
motion will be needed. For example, "I move to recommend that the City Council adopt the
proposed amendments to KMC Chapter 11.10 and Chapter 1.90 as provided in attachment A".
After the main motion has been made and seconded the subject will be before the commission
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 Commission will be forwarded by the
Administration to the 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.
The Administration may also recommend moving code provisions pertaining to the Harbor
Commission into a different section of code, from KMC 11.10into KMC 1.90, for organizational
purposes only, but a final recommendation on this change is still in the works. It would not have
any material effect on the Commission.
Thank you for your consideration.

Chapter 11.10
HARBOR COMMISSION
Sections:
11.10.005 Purpose.
11.10.010 Duties and powers.
11.10.005 Purpose.
The purpose of the Harbor Commission is to advise the Council and administration on issues
involving City harbor facilities and tidal or submerged lands owned by the City. This proposed
new section of code is intended just to clearly state the purpose of the commission.
11.10.010 Duties and powers.
(a) The Harbor Commission shall [BE REQUIRED TO DO THE FOLLOWING]:
(1) [DEVELOP, ADOPT, ALTER, OR REVISE, SUBJECT TO APPROVAL BY THE
CITY COUNCIL, A] Review and provide recommendations on any master plans for the
[PHYSICAL] development of harbor or port facilities for the City. [SUCH MASTER
PLAN WITH ACCOMPANYING MAPS, PLATS, CHARTS, DESCRIPTIVE, AND
EXPLANATORY MATTER, SHALL SHOW THE HARBOR COMMISSION'S
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CITY HARBOR
FACILITIES ] This may include, among other things:
(i) Development of the type, location, and sequence of all public harbor facilities;
(ii) The relocation, removal, extension, or change of use of existing harbor
facilities;
As discussed previously, these changes reflect that the commission itself is not
independently responsible for any master plans, but that the Commission's role to
provide recommendations on such plans as they are developed.
(2) Submit annually to the City Manager and Council, not less than ninety (90) days
prior to the beginning of the budget year, a list of the recommended capital
improvements which, in the opinion of the Commission, are necessary or desirable to
be constructed during the forthcoming [THREE (3)] five-year period. Such list shall be
arranged in order of preference, with recommendations as to which projects [SHALL
BE] are recommended for constructed in which year. The changes in this section are
intended to reflect the actual timeline utilized by the City in its capital planning and that
these are recommendations dependent on funding.
(3) Act in an advisory capacity to the Council and administration [MAKE
INVESTIGATIONS] regarding [ANY] matters related to City harbor facilities, tide or
submerged lands. Make recommendations to the Council and administration relative to
the care, control, and development of tide and submerged lands. This change is
recommended to reflect that the commission really doesn't have a budget or authority
to independently carry out investigations, but instead its role is to advise and make
recommendations to administration and the Citv Council.
The Kenai Municipal Code is current through Ordinance 3380-2023, passed November 15, 2023.
KMC Chapter 11.10, Harbor Commission Page 2 of 4
(4) Review all City leases of City -owned tide[,] and submerged lands , AND LANDS
OR NAVIGABLE WATERS WITHIN THE CITY, AND AS TO THE PLANNED
IMPROVEMENTS PROPOSED] and make recommendations to the City Council and
administration. These are just housekeeping changes
(5) Provide information and recommendations as requested by the City Council.
[MAKE AND PREPARE REPORTS AND PLANS FOR APPROVAL BY THE CITY
COUNCIL This change again reflects that the role of the Harbor Commission is to
advise the Council, as opposed to independently acting.
(6) COORDINATE PUBLIC EFFORTS, INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP, TO THE
EFFECTUATION OF APPROVED PLANS.] This language is recommended for
removal as City Administration generally carries out plans approved by the Council as
opposed to advisory bodies.
([6]) Advise and provide recommendations to the administration as requested on the
qualifications for a Harbor Master. [SHALL ACT IN ADVISORY CAPACITY IN THE
SELECTION OF A HARBOR MASTER SHOULD SUCH A POSITION BE CREATED BY
THE CITY COUNCIL.] Because this role is unique in current code to this Commission and
the parks and Recreation it is the City Manager's preference that this be removed entirely,
but with the new language the City manager is not strongly opposed to it.

MEMORANDUM Attachment G
TO: Parks and Recreation Commission
FROM: Scott Bloom, City Attorney
DATE: January 24, 2024
SUBJECT: Proposed Amendments to KMC Chapter 19.05 and KMC Chapter 1.90
On January, 4, 2024 Terry Eubank, City Manager, Shellie Saner, City Clerk, and I met with your
Commission in a work session to discuss possible code changes to KMC Chapter 19.05- Parks
and Recreation Commission and 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 commission and making sure your valuable time as a
commissioner is used wisely.
Attached to this Memorandum in Attachment A are the code changes we discussed. The changes
are shown in legislative format. Underlined words are new suggestions while words in all caps
are suggested for removal. In addition, comments regarding each change are provided in red.
These comments are for discussion purposes only for this Commission.
If the Commission wishes to recommend Council approve the proposed amendments to code, a
motion will be needed. For example, "I move to recommend that the City Council adopt the
proposed amendments to KMC Chapter 19.05 and Chapter 1.90 as provided in attachment A".
After the main motion has been made and seconded the subject will be before the commission
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 Commission will be forwarded by the
Administration to the 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.
The Administration may also recommend moving code provisions pertaining to the Parks and
Recreation Commission into a different section of code, from KMC 19.05 into KMC 1.90, for
organizational purposes only, but a final recommendation on this change is still in the works. It
would not have any material effect on the Commission.
Thank you for your consideration.

19.05.010 [Creation] Purpose.
The purpose of the Parks and Recreation Commission is to advise the Council and
administration on issues involving the City's parks and recreational facilities. This proposed
new section of code is intended just to clearly state the purpose of the commission.
19.05.020 Duties and powers.
The Commission shall be required to do the following:
(a) [DEVELOP, ADOPT, ALTER, OR REVISE SUBJECT TO APPROVAL BY THE CITY COUNCIL, A]
Review and provide recommendations on any master plans for the physical development
of recreation facilities for the City. Such master plans with accompanying maps, plats,
charts, descriptive, and explanatory matter, [SHALL] may show the Commission's
recommendations for the development of the City's recreation facilities[Y MAY]
includingLEJ, among other things: As discussed previously, these changes reflect that the
commission itself is not independently responsible for any master plans, but that the
Commission's role to provide recommendations on such plans as they are developed.
Changes are also included to reflect that the City does not currently have any parks or
recreation master plans, and while they are desired by the current administration it is
unclear when funding might be available to hire a consultant to assist in completing such
plans.
(1) Development of the type, location, and sequence of all public recreation facilities;
and
(2) The relocation, removal, extension, or change of use of existing recreation
facilities.
(b) Submit annually to the City Manager and Council, not less than ninety [(90)] days prior
to the beginning of the budget year, a list of recommended capital improvements, which in
the opinion of the Commission, are necessary or desirable to be constructed during the
forthcoming [THREE (3)] five year period. Such list shall be arranged in order of preference,
with recommendations as to which projects [SHALL BE] are recommended for construction
FED] in which year. The changes in this section are intended to reflect the actual timeline
utilized by the City in its capital planning and that these are recommendations dependent
on funding.
(c) [MAKE INVESTIGATIONS REGARDING ANY MATTER RELATED TO CITY RECREATION]
Advise the Council and Administration on concerns and recommendations regarding parks
and recreational facilities within the City including recommendations for consideration by
the Administration in the development of the Parks and Recreation Department's annual
budget. This change is recommended to reflect that the commission really doesn't have a
budget or authority to independently carry out investigations, but instead its role is to
advise and make recommendations to administration and the City Council. Changes to this
section further specifically seek recommendations in the Department's annual budget
preparations.
(d) Provide information and recommendations as requested [MAKE AND PREPARE
REPORTS AND PLANS FOR APPROVAL] by the City Council. This change reflects again that
rather than acting independently, the commission's role is really to gather information
and make recommendation on issues requested by the Council.
(e) Advise and provide recommendations to the Administration as requested on the
qualifications for [SHALL ACT IN ADVISORY CAPACITY IN THE SELECTION OF] a Director of
Parks and Recreation. This change was requested by some members of the commission.
Because this role is unique in current code to this Commission and the harbor Commission
in the selection of a harbor master, it is the City Manager's preference that this be removed
entirely, but with the new language the City manager is not strongly opposed to it.

WHEREAS, the requested transfers as detailed below will allow one site to move forward at this time,
while the Capital Improvement Plan includes $300,000 in funding to replace these funds as part of the

FROM: Scott Curtin, Public Works Director
DATE: May 7, 2024
SUBJECT: Resolution 2024-16 Budget Transfer Lift Stations
This Resolution is a first step in modernizing our sewer lift stations. This is a project that has been
moving forward within our Capital Improvement Plans for sometime now. The work will include
the replacement of two flygt submersible pumps, demolition and replacement of heavily corroded
pump rails, installation of new pump floats and associated controls as well as other associated
site work.
We intend to begin with renovations at one location. The lift station at the corner of the Kenai Spur
Highway and Redoubt Avenue. This will be our test location to work out any discrepancies within
our plans and specifications, with the intent of amending plans before releasing additional
locations out for bid.
The City has 19 lift stations, many of which are approaching 50+ years of age, with equipment
currently operating well beyond its intended useful life. This work will replace our existing
infrastructure with newer, more efficient and reliable, equipment.
Completion of this work will also provide some much -needed additional spares of our older
equipment which has not been in production for many years. This will allow us to keep our older
locations operating longer while we continue to direct priority projects through the Capital
Improvement Plan.
Approval of this budget transfer at this time to allow this project to move forward is in the best
interest of the City. Council's approval is respectfully requested.

This resolution seeks to change the street name of Cook Inlet View Drive to Cook Inlet Drive.
There has been an increase in complaints over the years that the existing street name, Cook Inlet

motorhomes, and tour buses/vans driving through the residential neighborhood and on the
unimproved dead-end street, known as 1st NW that leads to the edge of the bluff. The removal of
,'view" from Cook Inlet View Drive would these deter visitors and tourists from driving down
through the residential neighborhood on an already busy street and lingering at the edge of the
dangerously eroding bluff.

an existing street or newly established street within City limits upon recommendation from the
Planning and Zoning Commission and after consultation with the Kenai Peninsula Borough (KPB)

This resolution will be referred to Planning and Zoning Commission for their recommendation at

With staff's recommendations, all property owners along Cook Inlet View Drive will be notified of
the proposed street renaming and the scheduled public meetings to provide several opportunities
for submissions of comments. In addition, staff will request for comments from the Public Works

TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM: Derek Ables
DATE: May 08, 2024
SUBJECT: Resolution 2024-18 - Accepting An Airport Improvement Program
Grant From The Federal Aviation Administration For An Eco-Cart
The purpose of this memo is seeking the approval of the City Council to accept a grant offer of
$34,950 from the Federal Aviation Administration using Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL)
funding for the purchase of a specialized cart to test aqueous film -forming foam (AFFF) in aircraft
rescue and firefighting (ARFF) trucks. This grant will enable the airport to improve safety protocols
and ensure compliance with CFR part 139. This equipment is crucial for ensuring the readiness
and safety of our firefighting capabilities at the airport and will be 100% grant funded. This eco-
cart is on the Airport Capital Improvement plan submitted to the FAA and the airport certification
inspector has instructed us that it is required.
The AFFF testing cart offers several important benefits:
Safety and Compliance: The cart allows for accurate testing of the AFFF used in ARFF trucks,
ensuring compliance with safety regulations and industry standards.
Operational Readiness: By regularly testing AFFF, we can ensure that our ARFF trucks are fully
operational and ready to respond to emergencies.
Reduced Waste: The cart is designed to minimize waste during testing, contributing to
environmental sustainability and reducing costs associated with excess foam disposal.
We respectfully request the City Council's approval to accept the $34,950 grant offer for this
specialized testing cart and sign the grant assurances. This initiative aligns with our commitment
to airport safety and operational readiness.
A follow-up ordinance will be prepared for Council's approval appropriating the funds. Introduction
of this ordinance is expected on the June 5t" Council agenda.

SUBJECT:
Purchase Order — Peninsula Refuse
This memo is to request an increase to purchase order 127552 for Peninsula Refuse in support
of the City's waste water plant sludge disposal service contract. The current purchase order, in
the amount of $63,372.12, is increasing by $39,392.90 for a total new purchase order amount of
$102,765.02.
The additional funding is needed due to the rate increase of sludge disposal fees being charged
to the City by the Kenai Peninsula Borough's Central Peninsula Landfill, with rates going from $45
per ton to $135 per ton at the start of the calendar year. See attached fee schedule from the
landfill. As Council may recall this was discussed during our budget work session on May 4cn
2024.
The department is currently receiving 10,000 gallons of leachate from the landfill per day, equating
to less than 2% of our plants daily flow. We are charging the landfill $.10/gal, equating to
$1000/day to offset our additional charges for the sludge disposal. Staff continues to research
other cost saving measures including alternative disposal sites that may offer lower fees. Council
may see more on that in the months to come.
Funding for this increase will be provided from the current operating budget for the waste water
plant and will require an administrative budget transfer from repairs and maintenance into
professional services. No additional appropriations are required or requested with this memo.
Council's approval of this increase will allow the department to continue normal operations and is
in the best interest of the City. Council's approval is respectfully requested.

drinking water and to treat our waste water effluent, Sodium Bisulfite which neutralizes the

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM: Tyler Best, Parks and Recreation Director
DATE: May 411, 2023
SUBJECT: Second Extension to Agreement for Management Services at The
Kenai Multi -Purpose Facility
This memo requests support to execute the second extension of the Agreement for Management
Service at the Kenai Multi -Purpose Facility and to authorize a decrease in the purchase order to
the contract amount of $66,000 to $63,000.
On November 4, 2020, the Council approved Resolution 2020-84, which granted a 3-year contract
to Redline Sports to operate the Kenai Multi -Purpose Facility with the possibility of 2, 1-year
extensions; the initial term expires March 24, 2023—the contract's first year had a pay rate to the
contractor of $41.62 an hour, with a total Purchase Order set at $45,000. The second year of the
contract had a pay rate of $45 an hour with a total Purchase Order set at $50,000, and the third
year of the contract had a pay rate of $50 an hour with a total Purchase Order of $55,000. The
first one-year extensions paid the contractor $50 an hour, with a total Purchase Order being
$66,000. For the second -year extension, the hourly rate will be 50 dollars an hour, and the
Purchase Order will be set at $63,000 dollars. This is because the contractor has requested that
instead of the City reimbursing them for the purchase of ice paint and lines, the City purchases
them directly.
The Administration has observed that Redline Sports has adequately fulfilled the contract
agreement in the last three years. Therefore, the Administration recommends that the Council
approve the second extension, through March 23, 2025, to the Agreement for Management
Services at the Kenai Multi -Purpose Facility at a pay rate of $50 dollars an hour with a total
purchase order amount of $63,000, subject to the availability of funds.

MEMORANDUM
K E N 4
210 Fidalgo Ave, Kenai, AK 99611-7794 1907.283.75351 www.kenai.city
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
Scott Bloom, City Attorney
FROM: Stephanie Randall, Human Resources Director
DATE: April 11, 2024
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3419-2024 — Amending Kenai Municipal Code Title 23
Personnel Regulations
The City contracted with McGrath Human Resources Group (McGrath) to conduct a Classification
Study. Working with an internal personnel working group of City employees, McGrath developed
an overall compensation and classification recommendation for the City. McGrath and Human
Resources Director Stephanie Randall presented the recommendations to the City Council on
April 3, 2024. The recommendations encompass several key updates to the City's salary
structure. These include adding two steps (DD-EE) to the end of the schedule, adjustments to
qualification/certification pay, acting pay, longevity pay, probationary period, part-time employee
compensation structure, and travel reimbursement. These changes, designed to enhance the
City's personnel regulations, are necessary to provide an appropriate compensation structure to
recruit and retain qualified employees.
Below is a sectional analysis for the proposed code changes included in the Ordinance.
Section 1. This section amends 23.05.070, which defines the probationary period for employees
in the classified service, except for public safety positions, as six months and public safety
positions as 12 months, to change the probationary period to 12 months for all positions. City
employees are eligible for a one-step pay raise upon satisfactory completion of probation.
McGrath recommended extending the City's pay schedule with the intention that employees
would be eligible for step A-F on an annual basis, subject to a satisfactory evaluation. Based on
the recommendation of McGrath, to ensure consistency across positions and to align the City with
industry standards, an amendment to Section 23.05.070 to make the probationary period 12
months for all positions is recommended.
Section 2. This section amends 23.25.070, which provides acting pay to an employee temporarily
assigned to and performing the duties of a position with a higher pay range for 40 or more
consecutive regular work hours (56 hours for employees performing fire protection activities).
Depending on an employee's current step placement and whether the employee is acting in the
Department Head Service or in the capacity of a position appointed by the City Council, which do
Page 186
Page 187
not have a "first step," acting pay ranges from an additional 2% to, in some cases 40% and, in
one case, an almost 96% pay increase. This amendment changes acting pay from the first step
of the higher range or a one-step pay increase to a fixed increase to 10% of the employee's
current range and step, providing a fairer compensation approach. Based on the recommendation
of McGrath and to ensure a fair and equitable approach to acting pay, the amendment to change
acting pay to 10% is recommended.
Section 3. This section amends 23.30.030, which provides for a 6- or 12-month probationary
period for employees in the classified service. As described above, an amendment to Section
23.30.030 to make the probationary period 12 months for all positions is recommended to ensure
consistency across positions.
Section 4. This section amends 23.30.110, which provides a $50 per diem rate per day for
employees traveling on City business outside of the City. The City's authorized per diem rate was
established in 1977 at $20 per day plus lodging expenses and increased to $50 in 2005 to adjust
for inflation and has not been adjusted since. Per diem is an allowance paid to employees, City
Council members, and Commissioners for meals and incidental expenses incurred when
traveling. This allowance is in lieu of paying actual travel expenses, is not part of an employee's
wages, and is not taxable to the employee unless the rate is more than the federal per diem rate,
which is set each year. Per diem typically covers lodging, meals, and incidentals, and the standard
non -specified rate is $59 for Meals & Incidentals (M&IE). The reimbursement for employees who
habitually use their privately -owned vehicle for City business was set at $30 per month in 1981
and has not increased since then. Employees who use their privately -owned vehicle more than
the set amount have been reimbursed at the standard IRS mileage rate. To ensure employees
are adequately reimbursed for travel expenses, an amendment to Section 23.30.110 to increase
the per diem from $50 to $59 and provide a mileage reimbursement is recommended.
Section 5. This section amends 23.40.040, which prohibits the City from paying an employee
accrued annual leave if the employee is terminated before completing probation. Employees are
allowed to take leave during the probationary period and may terminate for various reasons
beyond the employee's control. Based on the City's former policy that employees could not take
leave during the probationary period, which has since been abolished, an amendment 23.40.040
to allow employees to be paid up to 80 hours of accrued leave upon separation during the
probationary period and reflecting the extended probationary period, is recommended.
Section 6. This section amends 23.55.020, which sets the period when full-time and part-time
employees are eligible for step increases. The City's compensation structure by grade differs for
full-time and part-time employees. This is true even when employees hold the same position as
a full-time employee but work part-time. While full-time employees are eligible to advance one
step annually for steps B-F and every two years for steps AA -CC, part-time employees are only
eligible to advance every two years for steps B-F and every four years for steps AA -CC. Based
on McGrath's recommendation to extend the City's pay schedule additional steps (DID and EE)
and recommendation that all positions be paid the same pay range and afforded the same step
adjustments at the same time intervals regardless of employment status (part-time or full-time) to
ensure fairness and internal equity, an amendment to 23.55.020 to align the eligibility criteria for
step increases between full-time and part-time employees is recommended.

(Cj, The City of Kenai I www.kenai.city
Page 188
Section 7. This section amends 23.55.030, which establishes qualification pay for employees in
recognition of professional development, personal time, and effort for Police Department, Fire
Department, Water and Sewer Utility, and Clerk's Office employees.
Police Department. Qualification pay for Police positions was established in 1978 and
increased to the current amounts in 2020 to address the recruitment and retention of
qualified officers. This increase included recognition pay for qualified senior officers, field
training officers, and investigators. The pay for Senior Officers was modeled after a one -
pay range increase for qualified Driver/Operator positions established in the Fire
Department and is based on the employee's step placement. The certification pays for
comparable positions in other places of public employment are calculated on an hourly
basis or as a percentage of the base or regular hourly rate, which allows the pay to adjust
annually based on adjustments to the salary schedule or pay plan. To ensure
compensation is competitive for comparable positions in other places of public
employment and apply qualification pay uniformly to promote efficiency and economy, an
amendment to 23.55.030 to calculate certification pay as a percent instead of a flat rate is
recommended. This change to Recognition Pay for Qualified Senior Officers would
account for the pay more correctly as Certification Pay rather than change an employee's
base pay and classification. There is no additional cost associated with amending
Recognition Pay for Qualified Senior Officers because the cost to advance an employee
one pay grade from 21 E to 22E is the same as an additional 5% of the employee's current
range and step. Qualified Senior Officer pay is considered when calculating hourly rates
for annual leave and holiday pay. Overtime would also be calculated to include this
recognition pay.
Fire Department. Qualification pay for Firefighters was established in 1978 and increased
to the current amounts in 1981. In 1981, $1,000 represented 3% of a firefighter's annual
pay. Today, EMT III pay represents 1 % of the base hourly rate. In 2013, a one -pay range
increase for qualified Driver/Operator was adopted based on a compensation comparison
with Engineer positions in neighboring fire departments. The Fire Marshal, Deputy Fire
Chief, and Fire Chief positions are not listed in the Code as positions eligible for EMT III
pay; however, employees in these positions have received this pay at the recommendation
of the Department Head and previous City Administration based on the benefit provided
to the City, as these positions are required to participate in fire suppression and other
emergency situations. No employees are receiving EMT II pay, as most Fire Department
employees are receiving EMT III Pay or have not yet achieved minimum certification
requirements. The change to Recognition Pay for Driver/Operator positions would account
for the pay more correctly as Certification Pay rather than change an employee's base
pay and classification. There is no additional cost associated with amending
Driver/Operator pay because the cost to advance an employee one pay grade is the same
as an additional 5% of the employee's current range and step. To reflect the increase in
compensation since 1981, ensure compensation is competitive for comparable positions
in other places of public employment, and apply qualification pay uniformly to promote
efficiency and economy, an amendment to 23.55.030 to remove EMT II pay, increase
certification pay and calculate pay as a percent instead of a flat rate is recommended,
Page 3 of 4
The City of Kenai I www.kenai.city
Page 189
include all positions required to participate in fire suppression and other emergency
situations is recommended.
Building Plans Examiner. To ensure the City meets the terms of its agreement for
exemption of plan review and deferral of life safety inspections with the State of Alaska,
to encourage employees to pursue certification beyond the basic requirements of their
position, and to provide additional benefit to the City, an amendment to 23.55.030 to add
a new type of certification pay as an additional 2.25% of step A of the employee's current
range and step for employees who obtain certification in accordance with the International
Code Council as a Building Plans Examiner, which provides substantial cost savings or
additional benefit to the City, upon recommendation by the Department Head and approval
of the City Manager is recommended.
Section 8. This section amends 23.55.080, which establishes longevity pay as a lump sum
payment of 2% of an employee's base pay for employees who have been at the last step (Step
CC) of the City's pay schedule for two years. Longevity Pay was adopted in 2008 to reward
employees for their long-term service with the City based on its short pay model, which allowed
employees to reach the maximum step in 10-10.5 years. McGrath recommended extending the
compensation system to an 11-step model, which allows employees to reach the maximum step
in 15 years. Longevity Pay for comparable public employers ranges from lump sum payments of
2-2.5%, with some employers either not having longevity pay or providing an annual bonus to all
employees with at least one year's service. Based on the recommendations of McGrath and to
ensure compensation is competitive for comparable positions in other places of public
employment, an amendment to 23.55.080 to change the last step from CC to EE is recommended.
As part of the Administration's proposed implementation of the updated pay schedule to an 11-
step model, employees currently eligible for a longevity bonus who would see a non -cost of living
pay increase would no longer be eligible for the longevity bonus under the City's Code. To ensure
that no employees receive a decrease in annual pay, the longevity bonus amount is considered
part of the total annual pay for employees in longevity when placing employees in the new
schedule to ensure that the employee moves to the step closest to what they are earning without
taking a decrease in pay.
These amendments aim to enhance the City's compensation and classification structure, ensuring
fairness, competitiveness, and alignment with industry standards.
Thank you for your consideration.

FROM: Tyler Best, Parks and Recreation Director
DATE: May 7, 2024
SUBJECT: Workplan 2024 — Parks and Recreation Commission
The Parks and Recreation Commission met on May 2, 2024, and voted on its annual work plan
goals. The Administration supports goals 1, 3, and 4 but not goal 2.
Goal 2:
Strategy: (Provide a summary of tasks that need to be done to obtain the objective.)
To effectively meet 19.05.010, the Parks & Recreation Commission (Commission) will identify a
commissioner who will work with collaborators to develop a systematic and transparent approach
for reporting requests or suggestions by the public or from the public through the Commission to
collaborators. This commissioner will provide updates at each regularly scheduled Parks &
Recreation Commission meeting.
Narrative: (Describe the benefits to the residents and visitors of the City.)
While this does not need to be elaborate in nature and could be as simple as a running log tracked
and shared by the Department, it should effectively provide a clear, consistent, and accessible
methodology for the public and/or Commission to communicate requests through the Department,
Council, and administration.
While the intention behind this strategy is commendable, there are some concerns regarding its
potential for creating additional work and redundancy. The Administration is not supportive of this
because it is redundant and would generate additional administrative work for the Parks and
Recreation Department. The City already has systems in place to record feedback from the public
through public meetings and notices. The Parks Department receives daily calls and addresses
concerns through its phone systems and email: parks@kenai.city.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM: Derek Ables, Airport Manager
DATE: May 6, 2024
SUBJECT: Airport Mid -month Report April 2024
FAA Annual Periodic Inspection- The Airport had its periodic inspection on April 30th. Overall the
inspection went well. It was scheduled from April 301h-May 211 but finished early on May 1 st. There
were three required corrections from the inspection.
• 139.7 The Airports stock of airport sand observed contained stones that would
be considered FOD.
139.201(a) the Airport has not been logging wildlife patrol sweeps in which no
wildlife is observed as prescribed within the WHMP.
• 139.201(a) Airport did not perform an annual review and evaluation of their
WHMP in 2023.
The annual review has already been corrected and closed out.
In-house Activities
• In April the Airport hired a new Airport Operations Supervisor, Michael Beals. He will be
replacing Jim Lackey who is retiring at the end of May. The advertisement for the Airport
Operations Specialist position closed on May 6, 2024 with 25 applications and we will be
trying to complete the hiring process before the end of the month.
On April 19th the Airport held a tour for Grace Lutheran preschool. This was a fun time to
take time out of busy schedule to get kids excited about aviation. I can remember the
events that drew my attention to this career field. The ARFF truck was brought out did
still the show though.

DATE: May, 6th
SUBJECT: Mid -Month Report -April
During the month of April, Parks and Recreation closed down the Kenai Recreation Center so the
gymnasium wood floors could be refinished. The entire facility was closed for a week while the
wood finish was applied. On April 29th, the weight and cardio rooms were reopened, and on May
6th, the whole facility reopened to the public.
On May 111h, in partnership with the Kenai Chamber, the Parks Department will host a clean-up
day at the Kenai Green strip from 10 a.m. to noon. During the month of April, the Kenai Rugby
Club picked up trash around Millennium Square, and a local neighborhood group picked up the
Lawton Extension. Parks and Rec provided trash bags and grabbers to these groups to help them
clean up the City. If a group ever wants to pick up areas within the City, the Parks Department
will coordinate with them to provide these tools and pick up the trash if they need help to dispose
of it.
The first round of interviews for our summer hire positions was conducted in April. All the positions
closed at the end of the month, and the second round of interviews took place at the beginning of
May.

ABOUT THE PROJECT
Kenai Peninsula Borough (KPB), with the partner cities Homer,
Kenai, Seldovia, Seward and Soldotna, were awarded grant funds
to develop a Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Comprehensive
Safety Action Plan (CSAP).
WHAT IS A CSAP?
Humans are vulnerable and
sometimes wake mistakes
and our transportation
system needs to account for
this reality.
A CSAP is a long-term strategy for enhancing the safety of the borough's roads through a holistic approach to
reduce (and eventually prevent) roadway fatalities and serious injuries borough wide. The CSAP will be struc-
tured around the Safe System Approach (SSA) National Roadway Safety Strategy developed by the USDOT.
WHY DO WE NEED A CSAP?
The KPB had 14 non -motorist fatalities and serious
injuries between 2016 and 2021, according to the
Alaska Department of Transportation & Public
Facilities (DOT&PF) Alaska Vulnerable Road User
Safety Assessment. In September 2023, a driver
and passenger were killed while slowing in a
school zone. In December 2022, a head on collision
near Clam Gulch resulted in two fatalities. Also,
in December 2022, a pedestrian/vehicle accident
resulted in a pedestrian fatality. According to the
AKDOT&PF the KPB had 238 fatal or serious injury
crashes (both motorist and non -motorist) between
2017 and 2022.
Humans are vulnerable and sometimes make
mistakes and our transportation system needs
to account for this reality. The CSAP will help the
KPB and their partner cities to understand the
causes and contributing factors, and recommend
countermeasures, creating redundancy and reducing
risk. The plan will identify opportunities to improve
safety through proactive and systemic programs,
policies, processes, partnerships, and projects,
especially for areas revealed to be of the highest
concern.
A CSAP situates the borough, and partner cities
to apply for future grant funds for projects and
strategies identified in the plan to address roadway
safety problems.
WHAT IS THE SSA?
The Safe Systems Approach (SSA) is a framework to help agencies prioritize
safety policies, programs, and projects. The SSA principles are:
• No fatal or serious injury crashes
• A transportation system that can accommodate errors in human
judgment
• A transportation system that limits speed
• Investments that prevent future crashes
• Engagement and coordination from all transportation and safety
agencies
• Investments in solutions across the system, not at individual locations

Ordinance No. 3417-2024
Mayor Gabriel,
I am a long time Kenai resident at 1513 Toyon Way. I am supportive of ordinance number 3417-2024, the
City's purchase of Tract B, Kenai Bluff Stabilization Subdivision.
I'm very appreciative of how responsive the City of Kenai has been regarding our neighborhood concerns
about camping, fires, and habitat destruction near this piece of land.
I am confident that as the City works to protect beach access, marine wetlands, the future of our sewer
treatment plant, and bluff stabilization, the residents of Kenai will see good stewardship of this area.
I ask that the City's planning and management of this property includes careful consideration of impacts
to adjacent, adjoining, and abutting properties.
The City of Kenai has a long history of elected officials, employees, and volunteers working together to
meet the challenges of change. The result is the great community we live in. Thank you!

RE: Funding request for the Peninsula Oilers
To the honorable members of the Kenai City Council,
On behalf of the Peninsula Oilers Board of Directors, we respectfully request funding
considerations for the upcoming funding cycle. We would ask the Council to award a $5000
grant or donation to help our organization with general operating expenses.
The Peninsula Oilers are about to host their 50th season. We are committed to maintaining a
quality baseball program that focuses on player development and the fan experience. We are
honored to be a family friendly presence on the Peninsula. We make it a priority to give back to
the community; we host little league camps, make the ballpark available to Kenai Legion Twins
and other community functions, we partner with local high school sport teams to create
fundraising opportunities for them, and we award scholarships to local graduates.
Oiler Park is frequented by locals and draws tourists from throughout Alaska as well as out of
state visitors, all contributing to the local tourist economy. Over the years we have made costly
improvements to the ballpark. Last summer we were able to replace the decking on the
grandstands. We have put in new foul line fencing, backstop net and scoreboard. We are
immensely proud of our field.
The Peninsula Oilers are run by a volunteer board of directors. We have been working diligently
to raise funds but are facing a potential budget shortfall. Help from the Kenai City Council
would aid our efforts. Thank you for considering the Peninsula Oilers.
Respectfully Yours,
Michael Tice
