SUBJECT: Ordinance 3447 - 2025 — NTS Emergency Preparedness Grant
The State of Alaska, Division of Senior and Disabilities Services requested proposals from current

The Kenai Senior Center was eligible to apply for funding and was awarded a $44,921 for services

also possess comprehensive Emergency and Continuity of Operations Plan, Policies and
Procedures that comply with the Older Americans Act.
