MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
THROUGH: Dave Swarner, Finance Director
FROM: Lee Frey, Public Works Director
DATE: January 2, 2025
SUBJECT- Resolution No. 2025-02 - Authorizing a Budget Transfer in the
Municipal Roadway Improvements Capital Project Fund of Remaining
Balances from Completed Projects to a New Project for City Dock
Float Replacement and Concrete Ramp Repairs.
In 2014 the City accepted a State Grant for $1,900,000 through Ordinance No. 2771-2014 for the
purpose of designing and constructing a new roadway for access to the South Beach. This project
was completed and funds were redirected to install new vault restrooms at North and South
Beach, replace an access shack, construct a bypass lane on South Spruce Street and permanent
bathrooms at the Little League ball fields. The vault restrooms at North and South Beach, the
access shack and the bypass lane projects were completed and $355,700.84 remains in the
project accounts. The remaining amount is insufficient to complete the permanent bathrooms at
the Little League ball fields.
With the assistance of Senator Bjorkman and Representative Ruffridge, the 2024 Alaska
Legislature amended the grant language to include the City Dock facility. Public Works proposes
using these funds to procure new floats for the dock and to use the remainder to replace portions
of the concrete boat ramp. We request redirection of the remaining $355,700.84 from the Kenai
River South Beach Dip Net Access, Vault Restrooms, Little League Permanent Bathrooms, and
South Spruce Street Bypass Lane projects to a new project to replace floats and perform concrete
ramp repairs at the City Dock.
Your support is respectfully requested.
