Rick Koch,'City Manager, City of Kenai -- Koch noted the following: • Agreed with some of Peters' remarks. • Reviewed administration's action to address issues, i.e. additional seasonal staff, fencing, signage, and staff coverage. • Cited prohibitions already in place related to concerns of ATV use, motorized traffic and destruction of dunes. • Expressed concerns to where the vehicles would be displaced. • Conflicts between commercial users and dip net fishers the past two years had been minimal, he had not heard significant complaints from commercial users, and most comments had been favorable.

Frates, Parks & Recreation Director Date: June 26, 2008 RI/: Central Peninsula Sports Facility Attached are some preliminary construction cost estimates provided by Soldotna Parks ~ Recreation Director Andrew Carmichael. Also accompanying this are some Minutes from the Sports Complex Task Forces dated June 16, 2008. The purpose of the Task Force is to explore the. feasibility of a Central Peninsula Sports Facility. This group will be meeting regularly to explore such items as location, potential funding sources, operational costs, construction size, and target groups, etc. Commissioner Sandahl has graciously volunteered to participate in these meetings on his own behalf. The City of Soldotna has recently passed a Council Resolution in support toward the above- mentioned efforts. Does the Commission recommend administration drat"t a similar Resolution for the Kenai City Cquneil to address? ITY f~F S4L®UTNA ALASKA ~` RI<S_and RECREATIN _ -- ~` ~''' Ph: (907)262-3151 Fax (907) 262-3152 Memo To: Sports Complex Task Force Fr: Andrew Carmichael Re: Dome Facility Construction Costs Date 6-23-2008 The thought of a field house/dome is not new but remains a big undertaking that if not driven by the "community" will most likely never be realized. The following are fairly real numbers with relation to the costs of constructing a complex similar to the AlaskaDOME in Anchorage. While still not cheap by any means the costs for erecting a dome structure are at least 80% cheaper than a similar hard walled facility. The assumptions included within the following costs are: 1) the facility would be 81e same size as the DOME in Anchorage, 2) the facility will have a full size 400 meter 6 lane track, 3) the facility needs to be trulymulti-propose i.e. court system under the turf system (figures represent 6 basketball synthetic basketball courts) 4) bleachers seating for 1500, 5) magic carpet system to facilitate true multipurpose i.e removal of turf for court use with bare minimum of staff time. 175,000 square foot donne @ $12 per square foot 2.i million Construction i.e foundation electrical etc 2.1 million Turf System (magic Carpet 2 ''/d' grass height) 2.5 million 3,000 square foot front/oflice/storage building 600,000 4 team rooms 800 square foot each 400,000 Design 300,000 Running Track 326,000 Synthetic Court area 276,000 Bleachers 125 000 8,727;000 This, as noted assumes a very similar structure to that constructed in Anchorage except for the magic carpet turf system and exterior front support building. The carpet system is an expensive component but provides for quick facility turn grounds from one type event to another and also provides for concun~ent multi purpose use. If installed the system would allow the courts to be uncovered or covered in less than an hour with 4 staff as opposed to 6-10 staff over 14 hours to remove or install turf system manually with equipment. Thus, soccer practices along with basketball, volley ball and track activities could be hosted simultaneously with perhaps even amid-day conversion for an evening soccer or football. game possible. The premise is, then, that the facility not only be multipurpose from day to day but from hour to hour with the least possible staffing. Operationally speaking the budgetary numbers listed AlaskaDome proforma are fairly inline with what should prove to be reality except £or those associated. with real estate taxes. For the sake of this particular information "management fee" and "management" are included within the salaries line item. Lrtilities are those realized from the facilities present operation and those included in the Dome's next year's budget. Estimated operating expenses for such a facility are: Salaries 216,300.00 Supplies and Materials 20,000.00 Utilities 280,000.00 Sales and Marketing/advertisement $10,000.00 Insurance $40,000.00 Total year one $566,300.00 The main variance from the amounts predicted on the Dome's profonna is in the utilities line item. where for planning purpose the figure uses was just a bit over half of what is presently being realized with recent energy costs soaring as they have. Operationally speaking, if incorporated into an exiting operation system such as that of the Soldotna Parks and. Recreation Department the labor costs are minimized via economy of scale especially with respect to onsite management. This may also be possible with the City of Kenai Parks and Recreation Department as well depending upon how that particular operation is structured. Thus, there are ways of minimizing the operating cost but the utilities are NOT one of them. Revenues Potential revenues were not included in this memo as no research has been done in these areas to date and the possibilities vary so greatly at this time. It is anticipated, though, that conta•actual funding sources would come from the Cities, Borough, the School District, Soldotna Little League, Alaska School Activities Association, competitive soccer groups, possibly Pop Warner Football and independent trade show promoters along with individual track memberships Minutes FROM 6/16/08 CENTRAL PENINSULA SPORTS FACILITY at Conference room Borough Building 10:80 AM Introduction by Dan Chay facilitator. 10:05 each signed in person introduced him/her self and gave their affiliation if they wanted to.

The administration is supportive of a process designed to determine if the construction of a domed sports facility is desired by the residents of the central Kenai Peninsula, and if it is economically feasible, both from the standpoint of capital expenditure and operating and maintenance costs. There is a cost estimate contained in the information in your packet. I believe the estimates of capital costs and operational costs to be significantly understated; I therefore encourage you to not rely on these estimates as you discuss this matter. I spoke to this task force at the previous meeting and suggested that their efforts would be best directed at accurately estimating the operational costs of the proposed facility and identifying the sources of income, and amounts of income which would. be derived from it's operation. At this early stage of the process, the location, type of turf, etc. are not of significant importance. To a lesser degree the capital expenditure is secondary to operations costs vs. income, because if you can't afford to operate the facility it really doesn't matter how much it costs. I would anticipate the operation of the facility will have to be subsidized by local government(s) it is therefore imperative any analysis begin with estimating the subsidy required, anal identify the funding sources needed. A consultant having experience in the area of sports facilities would best accomplish this. tY f KENA~LASKA MEM®RANDUM `"Ui(la~e wit~i a Past, Git~ cuit~i a Future" 210 Fidalgo Avenue, Kenai, Alaska 99611-7794 ~-~;~ti Telephone: 907-283-3692 /FAX: 907-283-3693 -- the ci o To: Kenai Parks & Recreation Commission From: Robert 7.
