MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM: Tyler Best, Parks and Recreation Director
DATE: September 9th, 2024
SUBJECT: Ordinance 3438-2024 - Accepting and Appropriating Proceeds from the
Kenai River Marathon Through the Kenai Community Foundation for the
Installation of Bike Racks and Bike Repair Stations
Ordinance 3438-2024 will appropriate proceeds from the Kenai River Marathon donated to the
City by the Kenai Community Foundation. The Kenai River Marathon is an event that is co -hosted
by the City of Kenai and the Kenai Chamber of Commerce. The Kenai Chamber collects
registration fees for the event. The revenue generated by registrations is given to the Kenai
Community Foundation. The Foundation has a specific fund that the money resides in that is set
up to benefit health and wellness within the City of Kenai.
The Parks and Recreation Department has worked with the Kenai Chamber of Commerce and
the Kenai Community Foundation to identify a project that would benefit health and wellness in
the City. The project is to install bike racks at various City facilities and parks. Then bike repair
stations will be added at high -traffic locations next to the bike rack. A picture of a bike rack and
repair station is attached that was recently added to the front of the Kenai Library. The following
locations were selected for locations of a bike rack and repair station: Steve Shearer Memorial
Ball Park, Kenai Rec Center, Kenai Little League Fields, Daubenspeck Family Park, Old Town
Park, Kenai Sports Complex, Visitor Center, and Municipal Park (front). The following locations
were selected for a bike rack: Greenstrip, Dog Park, Library (rear entrance), Beaver Creek Park,
Cunningham Park, and the Bluff Overlook.
Installing bike racks and repair stations promotes health and wellness by giving the residents of
Kenai and visitors a safe place to store and maintain their bicycles while visiting parks and other
City facilities. Your support is respectfully requested.
