MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Knackstedt and Council Members
THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM: Tyler Best, Parks and Recreation Director
DATE: December 18, 2026
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2026-01 - Amending the City of Kenai's Schedule of Rates,
Charges, and Fees by Increasing the City League Participation Fee and
Removing the City League Basketball Team Fee.
This memo supports amending the City of Kenai Schedule of Rates, Charges, and Fees by
increasing the player registration fee to $100 and eliminating the $325 team fee. Before the
season began, City staff met with league representatives, who expressed a desire to simplify fee
collection to make the process easier for both the City and participating teams. The player fee
encourages individual accountability and helps cover league operating costs, while the team fee's
sole purpose is to help recover league operating costs, making it redundant. Consolidating to a
single fee simplifies fee collection and ensures the City continues to recover league operating
costs.
Council's support for Resolution 2026-01 is respectfully requested.
