A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE CITY OF KENAI SCHEDULE OF RATES, CHARGES, AND FEES

WHEREAS, the City of Kenai is committed to offering high -quality services and facilities for its residents

recommends implementing an annual locker rental fee for long-term locker use while continuing to offer
free day -use lockers for the public; and,

and upkeep while addressing the issue of lockers being monopolized for extended durations; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed the proposed amendments to the City's Schedule of Rates,
Charges, and Fees and finds the addition of an annual locker rental fee to be fair and appropriate.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM: Tyler Best, Parks and Recreation Director
DATE: October 28, 2024
SUBJECT: Resolution 2024-44 — Annual Locker Rental Fee
Historically, lockers at the Kenai Recreation Center have been offered free of charge. However,
during the recent renovation of the facility's floors, staff had to move all the lockers and provided
advance notice to locker users to remove personnel belongings. Despite the department's efforts
to notify users about the renovations and the need to clear lockers, many miscellaneous items
were left behind. Staff removed over 100 pounds of personal belongings from lockers that were
not claimed, including old clothing, shoes, gym bags, and other miscellaneous items. This
situation reflects an inefficient use of our locker space and impacts other facility users who would
benefit from short-term, day -use access.
Implementing an annual locker rental fee while providing free day -use lockers is a reasonable
and necessary step to improve locker usage at the Kenai Recreation Center. The proposed fee
structure will balance the needs of long-term and short-term users, create a fairer system, and
ensure the sustainable operation of these services for the public.
Your consideration is appreciated.
