MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM: Kathy Romain, Senior Center Director
DATE: February 25, 2025
SUBJECT: Ordinance 3458-2025 - Accepting and Appropriating a Grant Received
through the Alaska Geriatric Exchange a Network to the Kenai Senior
Center for Attendance at the 2025 Legislative Fly -in.
The Alaska Geriatric Exchange Network (AGEnet) is a leadership association of service providers
dedicated to advocating for senior services across Alaska. The Kenai Senior Center has been a
long-standing member of this association.
This year, Kenai Senior Center staff were invited to represent AGEnet at the Legislative Fly -In in
Juneau, where they advocated for senior grant funding. The center was awarded a grant of
$832.94 to support travel expenses for the event, held from February 5 — 8, 2025.
The time spent in Juneau was meaningful, as legislators heard directly from senior service
providers statewide about the needs of older Alaskans.
Thank you for your consideration in accepting and appropriating these funds.
