N A I City of Kenai 1210 Fidalgo Ave, Kenai, AK 99611-7794 1907.283.7535 1 wwwlenai.city MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager FROM: Lee Frey, Public Works Director DATE: October 8, 2025 SUBJECT: Ordinance 3490-2025 - Increasing Estimated Revenues and Appropriations in the Wastewater Treatment Facility Improvement Capital Project Fund, Accepting a Grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for the Kenai Wastewater Treatment Facility Digester Blowers Upgrade Project and Awarding the Construction Contract for the Project. The memo requests Council's approval to accept a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) grant for the Kenai Wastewater Treatment Facility Digester Blowers Upgrade project, appropriate additional funding to complete the project and award the project to Blazy Construction, Inc. The project will consist of installation of new high efficiency turbo blowers in a new building and associated construction to supply air to the digester including new stainless -steel air piping, disconnecting the old blowers and reconstruction of operational equipment for the digester. The grant from the EPA is in the amount of $2,900,000 and matching requirements were waived. $750,000 of local funds are already appropriated for the project and the Public Works Department requests an additional appropriation of $750,000 to award the project and complete other associated work and improvements. The Public Works Department requests award of the construction contract to Blazy Construction Inc. in the amount of $3,280,258. $464,950 of this cost is the negotiated cost for purchase of the blower units that was previously approved by EPA as a sole source purchase. Blazy construction was the only bidder on the project when it bid in April of 2025, and we negotiated the current cost to award since the timeline to hold the price expired. We also value engineered several items out of the scope of work to save funding where feasible. Remaining funding is expected to be used for emptying and cleaning the digester by the City, construction administration by our consultant and City staff, purchase and installation of a new generator to replace the failing unit at the treatment plant and additional work on the existing blowers to increase their efficiency. Work is expected to be completed by the end of 2026. Contingency funds have been included in this funding request for potential change orders encountered on the project. The main concern on this project is the condition of the existing digester structure. It was built in 1982 and the concrete will be evaluated when it is taken down. There is a potential that significant repairs could be required based on what is discovered and that supplemental appropriations could be necessary at that time. Thank you for your consideration.

The Kenai Bronze Bear Family Sculpture Project is a community -led effort to install a life-sized bronze bear family sculpture at the Kenai Municipal Airport entrance. The idea first emerged during the Airport Terminal Rehabilitation Project, and with support from the Airport Commission and City Council, it has grown into a strong community partnership. The Kenai Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Center (KCCVC) has played a central role in the project. The KCCVC established a special projects account to manage fundraising and finances, developed the project logo, managed the website, and coordinated with the fiscal sponsor, Bridges Community Resource Network, Inc. A community working group, including members from the KCCVC, Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, Kenaitze Indian Tribe, Kenai Art Center, and current and retired City representatives, provided leadership, coordination, and creative vision. Together, the group raised approximately $172,000 through sponsorships, individual donations, and a Rasmuson Foundation grant. The KCCVC entered into a Fine Art Purchase Agreement with Atlas Bronze Casting for three bronze sculptures - Mother Bear with Fish, Standing Cub, and Walking Cub - and five donor miniatures. The sculptures are complete and scheduled for installation at the airport on or before November 6, 2025. The project was made possible through the generosity of community sponsors — Title Sponsors Grant Aviation and Three Bears Alaska; Silver Sponsors Marathon Petroleum, Bear Mountain Lodge, Lynden Transport, Rick and Bobbie Baldwin, and Dr. Pete and Karolee Hansen; Bronze Sponsors Alaska E-Line Services, HDL Engineering Consultants, Kenai Community Foundation, Alaska Channel, Marty and Victoria Askin, and Aleutian Airways — as well as a Rasmuson Foundation grant and contributions from individual donors. Notification was received on October 14 that the sculptures could ship as early as October 21, with an expected arrival date of October 28. This short timeline creates a need to accept the donation promptly so installation can occur before winter weather conditions become a challenge. Pursuant to KMC 1.15.070(d), same -day introduction and passage of the ordinance is requested so the sculptures may be installed promptly. The KCCVC wishes to formally donate the three bronze sculptures to the City of Kenai. The Bronze Bear Family Sculpture will serve as a welcoming landmark, celebrate Alaska's wildlife and local identity, support tourism, and provide a lasting cultural and educational landmark. Council's approval is respectfully requested.

Notification: Notice of vacation mailings were sent by regular mail to twenty-nine owners of property within 300 feet. Notice of the proposed vacation was emailed to five agencies and interested parties. The public notice was posted on the Planning Department's bulletin board at the KPB Administration Building. Staff Analysis: Valhalla Heights Subd. Part 3 (K-1568) originally subdivided the area and granted a 10-foot utility easement on the rear lot lines of Lots 8,9,27 and 28, Block 7. This easement is petitioned to be vacated as represented by the hatched area on the submitted preliminary plat. Additionally, the plat is proposed to eliminate the common lot lines between Lots 8,9.27, and 28, resulting in one Lot. The associated plat, Valhalla Heights Subdivision Thomsen Replat, is scheduled for the October 27th Plat Committee Meeting. Upon approval, the plat will finalize the utility easement vacation. On August 28, 2025, The City of Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission granted conditional approval of the associated plat Valhalla Heights Subdivision Thomsen Replat by PZ Resolution PZ2025-27 which included the petitioned utility easement vacation. The proposed plat is granting a 10-foot utility easement adjacent to Phillips Drive and Standard Drive. ACS, HEA and Enstar have provided written non -objections to the vacation. No additional easements have been requested by utility agencies. Utilitv provider review: HEA No objection ENSTAR Approved as shown ACS No objections GCI No response Applicant Findings: 1.

Notification: Notice of vacation mailings were sent by regular mail to twenty-nine owners of property within 300 feet. Notice of the proposed vacation was emailed to five agencies and interested parties. The public notice was posted on the Planning Department's bulletin board at the KPB Administration Building. Staff Analysis: Valhalla Heights Subd. Part 3 (K-1568) originally subdivided the area and granted a 10-foot utility easement on the rear lot lines of Lots 8,9,27 and 28, Block 7. This easement is petitioned to be vacated as represented by the hatched area on the submitted preliminary plat. Additionally, the plat is proposed to eliminate the common lot lines between Lots 8,9.27, and 28, resulting in one Lot. The associated plat, Valhalla Heights Subdivision Thomsen Replat, is scheduled for the October 27th Plat Committee Meeting. Upon approval, the plat will finalize the utility easement vacation. On August 28, 2025, The City of Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission granted conditional approval of the associated plat Valhalla Heights Subdivision Thomsen Replat by PZ Resolution PZ2025-27 which included the petitioned utility easement vacation. The proposed plat is granting a 10-foot utility easement adjacent to Phillips Drive and Standard Drive. ACS, HEA and Enstar have provided written non -objections to the vacation. No additional easements have been requested by utility agencies. Utilitv provider review: HEA No objection ENSTAR Approved as shown ACS No objections GCI No response Applicant Findings: 1.

TED AND CATHERINE STEVENS CENTER FOR SCIENCE AND CHALLENGER TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION LFMIEL OF ALASKA Oct 24, 2025 Terry Eubank City Manager, City of Kenai 9711 Kenai Page 99 Kei XK996I1 855-477-7926 www.akchallenger.or 92-1761906 The Board of Directors of the Challenger Learning Center of Alaska voted to close the Center. We are requesting that the City of Kenai terminate our lease effective Nov 15, 2025. This was a very difficult, but unanimous decision by the Board. Revenues from student missions, workforce training and donations have been declining since the pandemic. Costs have increased for out - of -district schools to visit the center due to the requirement to use district buses and additional staff for field trips. Throw in inflation and the increase in fixed costs and you have an untenable financial situation, even with a minimal part-time staff. Layoffs were required and all professional staff were terminated on September 26. One maintenance staff person is being temporarily retained to take care of the building until it reverts to the control of the City of Kenai. We anticipate that Accounts Receivable will cover back wages and benefits for the employees. The Board has requested federal, state and local governments, there is no funding available. For Kenai, the Challenger Center's shut down marks more than the end of an institution. It is the close of a 25-year chapter in which thousands of students, teachers and community members found inspiration in science, teamwork and exploration. Its legacy will endure in the people whose lives were shaped by its curriculum. Thankyou for understanding. Please let me know if you have additional questions.

Multiple property owners want to rezone a total of ten parcels/properties along the north side of Redoubt Avenue. Currently, zones are Rural Residential (RR) and Suburban Residential (RS). The purpose of the rezone is to allow for higher density development in the future, as well as expand the number of principal permitted uses. The rezone will allow minimum lot sizes to be greatly reduced, as well as allow for the construction of larger multi -family dwellings without the need for Conditional Use Permits. Development in this area, which has access (or is planned to have access) to City water and wastewater, is projected to be higher -density, similar to development patterns already seen in neighboring subdivisions. The rezone will also align the subject properties with the surrounding zoning districts and the Land Use Map in the Comprehensive Plan. There will be no non -conforming uses created by the completion of this rezoning effort. The Comprehensive Plan supports this rezoning in the following identified goal: Goal 3 — Land Use: Develop land use strategies to implement a forward -looking approach to community growth and development. • LU-3: Review existing zoning and subdivision codes to determine if they address current and future land uses adequately.

This Resolution requests that the City Council authorize reallocation of Capital Project Funds for purchasing two Stryker Power Loader systems for $61,111.72. The Fire Department currently has $60,000 in the Public Safety Capital Project Fund for repair of our Hose Testing Tank behind Station 1. This tank is in disrepair and does not adequately meet fire engine capacity needs. Alternate sites and agreements with mutual aid agencies for pump testing eliminate the necessity for servicing this tank. The remaining $1,111.72 is being requested as an appropriation of General Fund Balance. The Fire Department frequently lift patients on gurneys in excess of 300 pounds. The Stryker Power Loader system is a powered system that electronically lifts and lowers ambulance gurneys. Electronic lift systems are widely considered an industry standard driven by their ability to reduce injuries, improve safety, decrease risk and increase efficiency. The Fire Department already uses the Stryker Power Cots that are compatible with the requested loading systems. Other brands of patient loading platforms are proprietary and require their own brand of patient cots to be used. If we were to look at an alternative system we would then be forced to not only purchase the loaders, but new compatible cots as well more than doubling the cost. Once a contract has been issued, Stryker will send a technician from Anchorage to Kenai for installation of the units. The administration request to reallocate the $60,000 from Hose Testing Tank project and an appropriation of $1,111.72 from the General Fund Balance to purchase and install two Stryker Power Loader systems for our two new ambulances at a cost of $61,111.72. Thank you for your consideration.

The Administration has identified housing as a high priority development topic within the City. The City has been approached by large- and small-scale developers over the preceding months that included informal project concepts. The initial concepts have included both greenfield and infill development in neighborhoods around the City. Questions raised during the concept discussions have largely centered on allowable subdivisions and the requirements either enforceable by Kenai Municipal Code (KMC) or by the Alaska Department of Environment Conservation (ADEC) relating to utilities and newly constructed roads. Working collaboratively, Public Works staff, with input from Planning & Zoning staff, have been developing road design standards, which has been compiled into a draft City of Kenai Road Design Manual that remains in internal review. This policy standard, if adopted, could enhance and/or replace sections of code under KMC 14.10.070 — Subdivision Design Standards, and refer to the current edition of the policy. The Public Works department is also working on water, wastewater, and stormwater standards to complement the aforementioned road design standards. It is the intent of the City to align these guidance policies with KMC 14.10 — Subdivision Regulations to reduce confusion and enable an efficient, streamlined review process for developers. Recommendations Based on these ongoing efforts, and with the need to have clear guidance referred to in code, it is recommended that Council refer to the Planning & Zoning Commission for further discussion and scheduling a public hearing to determine potential actions. Recommendations, if any, would be submitted by the Planning & Zoning Commission to Council for your consideration. If you support this recommendation, the following motion is respectfully requested: Motion 1 Move to approve directing the Planning & Zoning Commission to review subdivision regulations within the City and make appropriate recommendations to Council. Thank you for your consideration.

Alaska Residents were able to participate in the Fishery from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. until July 17th, when it became open 24 hours a day through July 31st. This is the fourth consecutive year the fishery has been open for 24 hours a day. The river's escapement totaled over 4.2 million fish, exceeding the sustainable escapement goal for sockeye by over 2.9 million, and more than doubling last year's total escapement of 1.9 million fish. The following table depicts the daily escapement for the duration of the summer over the last five years. E 2025 300000 200000 100000 E 2024 ■ 2023 07101 07i 11 07M 0?.G 1 ❑eil a 08.Q0 08 2!D This year, the peak of the run occurred slightly later than in recent years. Typically, a single, distinct spike in fish escapement is seen in late July. However, in 2025, there were three significant escapement peaks during the last 10 days of July. Approximately 1.3 million fish entered the river after the dipnet fishery closed on July 31, meaning about 69 percent of the total escapement Page 154 occurred before the closure. In comparison, last year, only about 250,000 fish escaped after the closure. Operational Changes in 2025 Three notable operational changes occurred during the 2025 season: • Additional signage was installed along the bluff in front of Toyon Way. Temporary signs were used throughout the summer, and permanent signage is now in place to support erosion control efforts. • Additional parking signage and controls were added at North Beach, Little League, and the Softball parking lots to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion. Clearly defining parking areas was a key focus to support enforcement efforts. • Approximately 25 single -use day parking spaces were added to the Little League parking lot, helping to reduce daytime traffic congestion on the beach. Dipnet App 2025 marked the ninth anniversary of the Dipnet Kenai smartphone app. Use of the app was down about 74 percent from the five-year average, which may indicate a need for an update or the beginning of a phased transition away from the app.. The Administration is reviewing options that include transitioning away from the app and directing users to the Dipnet section of the City website. With improvements in progressive web technologies, the website can now provide the same accessibility and functionality as an app without requiring users to download or maintain a separate application.

Fourteen temporary employees were employed, including six beach cashiers, two dock cashiers, five dock attendants, and one beach attendant. There is a budget for two beach attendants, but one of them dropped out before the fishery started, and the remaining candidate was more than happy to take over their duties to help cover the beach by working extended hours. The Parks and Recreation Staff worked in late June and early July to help set up the Fishery. This includes building temporary fencing to protect the dunes, installing signage, painting parking lines, and setting up the North Beach Bypass Lane. Throughout the Fishery, the park's staff serves as support staff, including mechanical repairs, supply runs, directing traffic, covering shifts, and cleaning beaches, bathrooms, and parking lots. Alaska Mission and Retreats, also known as the Salmon Frenzy, partnered with the City of Kenai Page 155 and brought various groups of volunteers to serve hot dogs and coffee during the peak days of the fishery. At North Beach, they helped direct traffic and pick up litter on the beaches. The Kenai Nordic Ski Team coordinated with the City of Kenai to provide two clean-up days a week for the duration of the Fishery. At the end of the Fishery, the team went through and helped clean the beach and parking lots. Our department provided them with trash bags, gloves, and trash grabbers. The City compensated the Nordic Ski Team two thousand dollars for this service. Public Works The Street Division helps set up the Fishery by placing over 100 jersey barriers for the direction of traffic, placing the fee shacks, installing temporary access roads at both beaches, and maintaining the bypass lane off of Spruce Street. The Streets Division also helps coordinate the installation of no -wake zone buoys and related signage, both on the river and along the riverbank. During the Fishery, Streets helps maintain the roads by grading them and applying calcium chloride to keep the beach and dock areas accessible and safe. Financial Report Capital Improvements There is $309,132 remaining in a State of Alaska legislative grant for dipnet improvements on the City's north and south beaches. The grant language was amended to include the City Dock Facility, and per resolution No. 2025-02, the remaining balance was budgeted to a project to replace floats and perform concrete repairs at the City Dock. FY26 Revenues FY26 fees collected increased 8.0% over FY25. FY26 fishery revenues, not including capital grant revenues and net of sales tax and transaction fees, are projected to be $546,605, which is $42,455 greater than budgeted and $40,619 more than FY25 fishery revenues. Capital grant revenue is projected to be $309,132, assuming complete expenditure of the remaining state grant. A comparison of FY26 fishery revenue to prior years is shown below. The breakdown by site and service for FY18 through FY26 is based upon actual transactions. 71112017 711 �2018 7A LD 19 711 l2020 71112021 711l2022 7112023 7PI M24� 7112025 Ori&2018 61M2019 dG02020 60012021 55012022 WW12023 0Y302024 EM12025 — BrMM020 FY2 a FY10 FYI FY241 FY21 FY22 FY23 FY24 FY25 Pro-ieated Sauth Beach S158,965 S174.115 S158,685 S125,577 S104.940 S103A40 S109,361 S 117.C27 S 12e.EM North Beach 234298 253.622 2.34.297 258.782 238.471 244.436 252,202 290242 223.474 CityDodc 123.612 143.821 123,513 125,534 1D3.171 119,@31 110.M4 98,117 9e.565 Interest 1 = 671 1,522 750 (4,412) 4,755 19,502 750 750 PER SOn-behalf 115W 2.W.8 1,546 5,688 2.394 894 549 1270 1.270 Capital Grants 46,920 5,770 32,699 373,075 - 24.579 - 46,589 309.1327 Tolls S5W.Ma S580,5S7 S552,342 S890,407 S444,554 S497,545 S501,998 S 554.575 S B57.757 Page 156 Total Revenue by Source $900,000 $800,000 $700,000 $600,000 $500,000 $400,000 $300,000 $200,000 $100,000 FY18 FY19 FY20 FY21 FY22 FY23 FY24 FY25 FY26 Projected ■ Capital Grants ■ South Beach ■ North Beach ■ City Dock ■ PERS On -behalf ■ Interest Total Participant Revenue $600,000 $500,000 $400,000 $300,000 $200,000 $100,000 FY18 FY19 FY20 FY21 FY22 FY23 FY24 FY25 FY26 Projected ■ South Beach ■ North Beach ■ City Dock Page 157 Matanuska- Susitna Bor 1.

Person - session data collection was inconsistent this year and will not be included in this report. North Beach continues to increase participation, while participation at the dock continues to decline, with a 6% decrease year over year. South Beach had an increase of 5% this year, marking the second year -over -year increase since 2020. North Beach now accounts for 64% of all transactions, with South Beach at 21 % and the dock at 15%. The percentages of participants from different regions were likely impacted by inconsistent data collection, but the trend continues with the Kenai Peninsula being 15-20% of all participants. Page 158 Future Considerations North Beach Third Shack This recommendation has been brought forward in the past years, but will now be removed. The addition and improvements to the bypass lane have met the need for this option to prevent traffic from backing up onto the spur highway. Pedestrian Pathway to Beach An alternative to installing a third shack is to address the high pedestrian traffic along Spruce Street, where fishery visitors often walk to the fee shacks. A dedicated pedestrian or bike pathway could help reduce congestion by separating foot and vehicle traffic along the road. This pathway would also benefit residents and beachgoers, enhancing safety and accessibility for all users. Improve North Beach Parking Lot Consideration of a paved parking lot at North Beach would significantly improve parking organization and overall operations. Installing permanent lines would reduce confusion, help manage traffic flow, and minimize recurring complaints from visitors. A paved surface would also enhance maintenance efficiency, provide a safer and more durable parking area, and support long-term operational needs for the park.

From July 18 until the end of the fishery on July 31, the fishery was open 24 hours per day. In 2025 the City employed five temporary enforcement officers (TEOs) dedicated to Police dipnet operations. There were five TEOs the majority of the fishery, with one having some schedule limitations related to his joining the military. Significant 2025 Police dipnet information includes: - Police handled 70 dipnet-related calls for service during the month of July, approximately 9% more than 2024. Those calls included a wide variety of issues: 7 (9-1-1) misdials, 8 parking problems, 2 traffic congestion, 6 motor vehicle crash, 7 traffic offense complaints, 11 lost & found property, 5 disorderly complaints, 2 camping complaints, 2 lost children, and 20 miscellaneous calls for service. - Despite the very large influx of people on the busiest weekend there were no major police incidents to report during the fishery. - TEOs wrote 102 dipnet related citations (primarily for paid parking and other parking related violations). - Salmon Frenzy volunteers were again present to support the fishery. - The Police Department worked with the Parks Department to improve the layout and signage at the overflow parking at the softball fields, which worked well this year.

For example, within the General Fund, the majority of property tax revenue is collected in September and November. Accordingly, revenue levels will normalize over the remainder of the year as these collections are completed. Additionally, General Fund Non -Departmental expenses are currently at 68.88% of the total annual budget. This higher percentage is due primarily to the full -year liability insurance expense, which was paid in July 2025. The remaining Non -Departmental expenditures are expected to align with budgeted amounts through the rest of the fiscal year. State and Federal Revenue: State and federal revenues are currently below budget across all funds due to the reimbursement nature of City grants and the handling of Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) aid. The State does not remit PERS funds directly to the City; instead, it makes an "on -behalf" payment to the retirement system. Both the revenue and expenditure entries related to these payments will be recorded at year-end. Please note that Fiscal Year 2025 expenditures have not been finalized and remain subject to adjustment as the year-end closing process is completed.

The Administration has identified housing as a high priority development topic within the City. The City has been approached by large- and small-scale developers over the preceding months that included informal project concepts. The initial concepts have included both greenfield and infill development in neighborhoods around the City. Questions raised during the concept discussions have largely centered on allowable subdivisions and the requirements either enforceable by Kenai Municipal Code (KMC) or by the Alaska Department of Environment Conservation (ADEC) relating to utilities and newly constructed roads. Working collaboratively, Public Works staff, with input from Planning & Zoning staff, have been developing road design standards, which has been compiled into a draft City of Kenai Road Design Manual that remains in internal review. This policy standard, if adopted, could enhance and/or replace sections of code under KMC 14.10.070 — Subdivision Design Standards, and refer to the current edition of the policy. The Public Works department is also working on water, wastewater, and stormwater standards to complement the aforementioned road design standards. It is the intent of the City to align these guidance policies with KMC 14.10 — Subdivision Regulations to reduce confusion and enable an efficient, streamlined review process for developers. Recommendations Based on these ongoing efforts, and with the need to have clear guidance referred to in code, it is recommended that Council refer to the Planning & Zoning Commission for further discussion and scheduling a public hearing to determine potential actions. Recommendations, if any, would be submitted by the Planning & Zoning Commission to Council for your consideration. If you support this recommendation, the following motion is respectfully requested: Motion 1 Move to approve directing the Planning & Zoning Commission to review subdivision regulations within the City and make appropriate recommendations to Council. Thank you for your consideration. APPROVED BY COUNCIL Date: 11 I d5l 2 5- K.
