To: City Council
JFrom: Rick Koch, City Manager
I
Date: May 31, 2006
Subject: FY 2007 Budget
The purpose of this correspondence is to request that the Council consider two changes to
the proposed FY 2007 budget.
1. Amend the proposed budget to include general fund revenue in the amount of
$ 340,760.00 to reflect a grant from the State of Alaska Department of
Commerce, Community & Economic Development for the purpose of defraying
increased energy and other costs.
2. Amend, the proposed budget to include a payment of $ 289,000 to PERS in
addition to what is presently provided for in the proposed budget as a function of
percentage of payroll.
In FY 2007 the mandated PERS contribution rate is 18.67% of gross wages. This
is the calculated amount presently in the budget.
The State has budgeted an additional 5%, or $ 235,322 for deposit directly into
the PERS account for the City of Kenai. If we maintain the PERS contribution
rate of 18.67% in the proposed budget and add it to the State contribution, the
City's contribution rate would increase to roughly 24% for FY 2007.
In order to begin to decrease the City's $ 11.5 million unfunded PERS liability in
FY 2007 the actuarially required rate is approximately 30%. hi order for the City
of Kenai to contribute that amount, an additional contribution of $ 289,000 would
be required in addition to both the State contribution and the amounts in the
proposed FY 2007 budget.
Page 2
Memo to Council
May 31, 2006
The additional $ 289,000 contribution would be across all funds which include
personnel services. The specific budget amendments per fund will be calculated
and on -the -table at the Council meeting of June 71h.
Please find attached a memorandum from Semmens to Koch dated May 26`h
regarding this subject.
PRO's - The benefit of this requested budget amendment is the City would begin
paying down it's unfunded PERS liability of $ 11.5 million rather than
the liability continuing to increase.
CON'S — If the State subsequently provides some level of PERS relief to political
subdivisions there is no guarantee the State will recognize the City of
Kenai's increased contribution.
The general fund budget that would have a small surplus (+/- $ 80,000)
will have a deficit of S 125,000 - $ 200,000 (The exact amount will be
calculated and contained in the on -the -table document).
MEIIORANDUNI
To: Rick Koch, City Manager
From: Larry Semmens, Finance Director
Date: May 26, 2006
Subject: PERS
The State capital bill has $235,322 of PERS aid for the City of Kenai.
The City can use this money to offset the 18.67% PERS rate that is in our
budget, effectively limiting our increase to 5% of payroll. Or the City can
use these funds to offset our unfunded liability, which was about $11.5
million at June 30, 2004. I expect the number is higher now, and I expect
the unfunded liability to continue to grow unless the City pays the
actuarially required rate of about 30% of payroll. When we begin paying the
actuarially required rate, we should make progress on reducing the unfunded
liability. At first the principal reduction will be small, just like a mortgage.
Council could also choose to pay the actuarially required rate of about 30%.
This would require a total additional contribution of about $524,000 or
$289,000 in addition to the $235,322 PERS aid in the capital bill.
When we do not pay the actuarially required rate we have to disclose in the
footnotes of our financial statement the fact that we did not contribute the
actuarially required amount. We also record a liability on our entity wide
financial statement. Most governments in Alaska will be in the same
condition, and it will likely take most governments 25 years or longer to pay
off the liability.
This means future generations will be paying for services that were rendered
in years past. The term for this is intergenerational equity and refers to
paying for services when rendered rather than putting the cost on future
generations.
From a financial perspective it is generally better to pay off debt sooner
rather than later. In this case there is still some risk that the State will not
equitably treat municipalities that help themselves by paying off PERS.

community. It is our understanding your organization has already gone through the
process.
We would appreciate your telling us if you believe the process has been of benefit to
the community, and if so, what those benefits have been; whether or not you believe
the cost warranted doing the project; and, what the initial costs were for your

Hi Carol:
I received your fax today regarding our branding process.
Actually we have two branding projects in Anchorage. The downtown partnership and businesses are in the middle
of a branding of the downtown area and the second project is one commissioned by the Anchorage Convention &
Visiotrs Bureau, Anchorage Economic Development Corp and the Municipality of Anchorage.
The latter of the two efforts is the one I am closest to and will base my recommendations.
We believe it is a worthwhile effort since all three sponsors actively market and sell our community. Anchorage is
rich with brand assets and we need to all be conveying the same message and creating the same image when we
talk of our community. Also the brand parameters will provide guidelines for the development of web sites and
pages along with collateral and photo images used to market our city. The key for us is to be consistent and for all
of us to agree on the assets that have the highest value.
We have not completed the process nor do we have a final product, but the cost was $80,000 and the Nedand
Agency provided an additional $20,000 in in kind work.
Best of luck to you and please let me know if you have more questions.

Subject: Seward Branding
Dear Carol,
I am sorry for the delay in responding to you. Our season has quickly escalated in intensity and we are all chasing our tails over here.
I understand that you are looking into a branding initiative for the City of Kenai. I would be happy to give you a little information about
our experience and hope that it will help you.
The branding initiative that we undertook for Seward has certainly been a benefit to the community in several ways:
1. We have a single marketing focus that the community and visitors can relate to.
2. The effort energized our membership ana the community at large regarding the value of promoting Seward.
1 The effort brought businesses and community members together to accomplish a single goal.
4. Visitor numbers have increased; web site visitation is up to 000 unique "hits" a day
The cost was very high, with $67,000 committed to the project initially. We've then spent $10,500 on our web site and produce a
Destination Guide, for which the costs change each year. We created new ads for about another $10,000. As we are able to increase our
marketing revenue, or as we revitalize current programs, we take the opportunity to incorporate the new brand strategy. We haven't
implemented their marketing approach entirely, however, and most likely won't adopt their suggestions for our ad campaign for at least
another year. While I believe it was worth the money we invested, I can't "prove" a concrete Return on our Investment, since we don't
generate revenue. I've attached a letter that I wrote to the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly regarding how it has impacted my ability
— Ho my job as Chamber Director.

President Ron Long
Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly
144 N. Binkley St.
Soldotna, AK 99664
Dear President Long and Assembly Members:
As a member of the Kenai Peninsula Tourism Marketing Council Board, I voted to
support a "brand" for the Kenai Peninsula. Due to our meeting schedule, the Seward
Chamber Board of Directors has not yet considered a resolution in support of a Kenai
Peninsula brand. however, I understand that you are currently considering the level of
support the Borough might provide to such an initiative, therefore I would like to offer the
following information regarding Seward's experience with community branding.
Nearly two years ago, the Seward Chamber of Commerce embarked upon a branding
initiative for our community. Our overall goal was to improve Seward's visibility among
Alaska communities. The effort was targeted towards understanding and increasing our
visitor market, yet the resulting "Seward.com Alaska Starts Here T11" also applies to
economic development for other industries. The contracto?s portion of the project was
completed in March of 2005. Since then, the new brand has had a significant impact
upon the Seward Chamber's marketing strategy.
We completely redesign our "Destination Guide" and web site, incorporating the new
brand strategy. In addition to the new logo, the strategy focused on a visual
presentation, allowing us to highlight our local characters and local character. Most
importantly, the new look incorporated a personal approach, portraying Seward through
the eyes of a "local". This afforded us the opportunity to build our visual message with
amateur photographs, which greatly reduced our overall production costs.
"Seward.com Alaska Starts Here" emphasizes the Internet as the cornerstone for our
marketing efforts. We have minimized our print advertising and publications, presenting
most of our information on our web site. Each of our print pieces now advertises our
web site. With over 500 unique "hits" per day, we know that our web presence reaches
far more customers than any print materials could. As a result, we have been able to
redirect some of our marketing budget towards new promotional initiatives.
Seward's branding initiative will have a long-term effect on our marketing budget,
allowing us to continue to increase our visibility while maintaining our current marketing
budget. As we attend consumer shows and conferences, we find that more and more
people are thinking of Seward as a critical stop during their Alaska vacation and the
brand has led many to believe that if they can only spend time in one region, they
should focus on the Kenai Peninsula and all it has to offer. Obviously, "Alaska Starts
Here TW is influencing how visitors shape their travel plans.
Our branding initiative resulted in more than just a catchy tag -line, however. The
initiative also resulted in a look and feel that is consistent among our advertising efforts.
The look emphasizes who we are as a community and how we want to present
ourselves to others. The brand has provided us a singular identity with which our
businesses and community members can identify and helps us to promote our
community with a common vision.
Seward's branding initiative certainly enhanced my ability to market Seward to visitors,
developing businesses, and new residents. I expect that a Kenai Peninsula brand
strategy will similarly impact KPTMC's ability to market the Kenai Peninsula.

Subject: Mat -Su Branding
Carol,
I received your letter requesting information on our branding process. Mat -Su CVB has not undertaken a formal branding process
with an acvertising agency and research. Our Yahoo! Mat -Su slogan was developed in-house and is now included in all of our
communications.
We did however, work with an agency from Nashville to create our popular Yahoo! Mat -Su jingle. I recall that was about a $5000
investment.
Branding is an important process and Mat -Su CVB is considering investing in the future to complete the process. We were just
fortunate to come up with a catchy phrase.
Feel free to contact me at 746-5001 if you have further questions.

The mission of the Kenai Chamber of Commerce is to promote economic development,
stimulate job growth, provide education and institute initiatives that promote and feature
businesses. As we endeavor to do so we would encourage the City of Kenai to be on the
forefront of our future, to see beyond today and how we attract more business to our
community. Our image must be positive to bring the business expansion and economic
development that we seek to Kenai. Recently "branding" was discussed and we believe
this may be the approach Kenai should be taking.

CITY OF KENAI

Kenai, AK 99611
Dear Mayor Porter and City Council Members:
f' ECE111r --,
11�� fir!
As all of the important issues surrounding FY07's budget are discussed, the underlying
concern is whether revenues cover the expenses incurred to provide all of the services
we believe make Kenai the best place to live. There are many difficult decisions you will
be making in regards to the budget which will set the course for Kenai, our residents
and businesses. As you balance the needs for health/safety and quality of life services,
I am writing on behalf of the Kenai Convention and Visitors Bureau's (KCVB) Board of
Directors and 254 member businesses, to request that funding for a City of Kenai
branding campaign be included in the budget.
AS the destination I,, lmk llv organization fol Kenai, KCVB annually allocates a
minimum of $17,000 of its budget to market Kenai as a visitor destination. The
development of a brand to be used by the city, chamber of commerce and the
convention and visitors bureau would go far in all of our efforts to market Kenai as a
place to visit, live and prosper. A good brand will allow us to better identify Kenai's
edge and to use that information to create an emotional connection with people so they
will spend their time and money in our community, thus increasing revenues.
The number one goal of the Tourism Initiative in the KEDS plan is to establish a city
wide collaborative branding campaign. This project was tasked to our organization.
While we were in the planning stages for pursuing this goal, North Star Destination
Strategies initiated discussions with the City of Kenai. This is the company that
developed Seward's brand and which is working with Kenai Peninsula Tourism
Marketing Council (KPTMC) to create a Kenai Peninsula -wide brand. They offered to
bring their Community BrandPrintTm approach to Kenai for a lower rate than Seward
paid or KPTMC will pay. Furthermore, both KPTMC and the city of Kenai will receive an
additional 10% discount if both entities sign with this company. However, a good deal is
not the reason the city should move forward with this proposal. Rather,
www.visitkenai.com
1 7479 V..i Cnnr Fliahwav • Kanai 41xL9 WAI 1 . !M7{ 102 irni. r_., i,, ten, ,— 1 . ,. ...
North Star Destination Strategies' proven record of success working with communities,
combined with a cost-effective arrangement, is the reason.
The Kenai Convention and Visitors Bureau is just one stakeholder in this project. To be
successful, representatives from government, businesses, residents, and non-
government organizations need to be involved as well. However, your leadership is
necessary to create a brand that will be far-reaching and used by all facets of Kenai.
The end result will be a revenue producing asset for Kenai. For the KCVB, it means a
more focused visitor destination marketing campaign which better represents who we
are as a community.
It is for these reasons that the Kenai Convention and Visitors Bureau's Board of
Directors and membership supports a branding campaign on behalf of the City of Kenai.
We would appreciate your support for adding this to the FY07 budget.
Warm regards,
KjE�NAI CONVENTION AND VISITORS BUREAU

Subject: FY 2007 Budget
The purpose of this correspondence is to place "on the table", three pages to be utilized in
your final budget discussions.
Each of the pages is a replacement for page 18 in your proposed annual operating budget
for FY 2007.
Each page is identified in the upper left comer by number (1,2,3), and heading. The
description and purpose for each page is as follows:
Number 1: Incorporates Council Changes from work session of May 1, 2006. The results
are an increase to the general fund budget deficit from ($ 232,057) to ($ 272,980), and a
budgeted unreserved undesignated fund balance of $ 5,360,251. The proposed
amendments described below are calculated based on these changes.
Number 2: Incorporates State revenues of $ 235,322 for PERS contribution ($ 199,903
of State PERS contribution effects general fund, the remainder of $ 35,419 is distributed
throughout other funds with personnel costs), and a $ 340,760 grant from the Department
of Commerce, Community & Economic Development. The budgeted appropriation to
PERS contributions is not increased over what is provided for in the present (Number 1)
proposed budget. Therefore, $ 199,903 is not required from fund balance. This coupled
with an additional $ 340,722 of revenue results in a surplus of $ 267,683 to the general
fund budget and a budgeted unreserved undesignated fund balance of $ 5,900,914.

Memo to Council
June 7, 2006
Number 3: Information shown at the bottom of the page identifies the impact of three
different potential changes to the budget document.
A. PERS - Increase by $ 235,322 the appropriation directly to PERS. This is
across all funds and the amount in the general fund is $ 199,903. The PERS
contribution level would then be approximately 24% of gross wages. This
results in a general fund surplus of $ $ 67,780, and a budgeted unreserved
undesignated fund balance of $ 5,701,011.
B. Employee Health Care Costs — Increase the appropriation for health care costs
by $ 75,000, of which $ 67,780 is for the general fund. This eliminates the
requirement to modify health care coverage to correspond with the present
appropriation. This increased appropriation is distributed throughout all funds
with personnel costs. In addition to A, above this results in a general fund
surplus of $ 7,027, and a budgeted unreserved undesignated fund balance of
$ 5,633,231.
C. Fully Fund PERS Contributions — The actuarially calculated rate the City of
Kenai should pay in FY 2007 is approximately 30%, or the appropriation of
an additional $ 289,000 for PERS contributions. Again, this is distributed
throughout all funds with personnel costs, of which $ 245,501 is from the
general fund. In addition to both A and B, above, this proposed appropriation
results in a general fund deficit of ($ 238,474), and a budgeted unreserved
undesignated fund balance of
$ 5,387,730.
Administration recommends the FY 2007 budget be amended to include an appropriation
of $ 533,322 distributed throughout all funds with personnel costs ($ 445,404 from
general fund) for additional PERS contributions. This would result in the City of Kenai
contributing the full actuarially calculated contribution.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, AMENDING
KMC 1. 15.130 TO ALLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS TO TELEPHONICALLY ATTEND UP
TO SIX (6) ADDITIONAL COUNCIL MEETINGS DURING A TWELVE (12) MONTH
PERIOD IF THE MEMBER IS PHYSICALLY UNABLE TO ATTEND DUE TO THE NEED
FOR EXTENDED MEDICAL CARE AND TREATMENT OF THE MEMBER OR THE

to hold office if the member misses more than one-half of the regular and special
meetings within a three-month period; and,
WHEREAS, KMC 1. 15.130 allows a Council Member to attend up to two (2) meetings
telephonically during a twelve (12) month period beginning on November 1 if the
member is physically unable to attend; and,
WHEREAS, even after allowing for two (2) meetings being attended telephonically
under KMC 1.15.130, an extended illness of a Council Member or the member's
immediate family member can require the member to be physically absent from more
than one-half of the regular and special council meetings within a three-month period;
and,
WHEREAS, providing for an additional six (6) meetings to be attended telephonically

WHEREAS, while a Council Member could possibly attend up to eight (8) meetings
telephonically during a twelve (12) month period under this ordinance, prohibiting the
member from attending two (2) consecutive meetings telephonically would limit
potential abuse of KMC 1. 15.130 and avoid a member's prolonged absence from the
community he/she represents; and,

sectors, in increasingly allowed; and,

provide care and support for immediate family members when they are suffering from

DATE: May 11. 2006
RE: Proposed Amendment to Extended Illness Ordinance
Mavor Porter asked me to draft an amendment to Ordinance 2168-2006. Mayor Porter's amendment
would substitute a new paragraph (o) in the ordinance. The new paragraph would read:
(o) A Council member may attend an additional six (6) meetings by teleconference
during a consecutive thirty-six month period if the member declares that he/she is unable
to attend the meeting due to the need for extended medical care and treatment of the
member or member's immediate family. The consecutive thirty-six month period starts
the first day in which the Council member attends telephonically under this subsection.
A council member may not attend two (2) consecutive meetings by teleconference under
this section.
This would change the proposed ordinance as follows. Instead of getting six meetings per year (based
on a Nov to Nov period) to attend telephonically due to an extended illness. a member would get six
meetings over a three year period. If the member used up his/her six meetings in the first six months,
the member would not get any more until after the three year period expires. The member could also
space out his/her meetings and use two a year during the period. The three year period would start the
first day a member appears telephonically.
The member would still get to attend two meetings per year telephonically for any reason under the
existing rule in KMC 1.15.130(n). The amendment would also still prohibit a member from attending
two meetings in a row telephonically whether it was due to an extended illness or under subsection (n).
Let me know if you have any questions.

Subject: Resolution No. 2169-2006, Transferring $ 125,000 from the FY 2006 Public
Improvements Capital Project Fund to the Boat Launch Capital Project Fund
and Transferring $ 100,000 from the Boat Launch Capital Project Fund to the
General Fund.
The purpose of this correspondence is to request the Council approve the use of
$ 125,000 of designated legislative grant funding for the boat launch ramp improvements,
and return $ 100,000 of funding from the boat launch ramp to the general fund.
After the Council transferred $ 135,000 from the general fund to the boat launch project
to supplement existing project funding we found in reviewing specific grant language
(Dept. of Commerce, Community & Economic Development, Grant # 06 -DC -127,
attached) that an existing designated legislative grant could be used for the boat launch
improvements project.
The Council, by ordinance No. 2122-2005, dated September 21, 2005 identified various
improvements that would be funded through grant 06 -DC -127. After further defining the
scope/need for those improvements administration suggests that new priorities including
the boat launch ramp improvements are appropriate. Attached is a spreadsheet identifying
the proposed priorities and funding amounts.
Also attached is a memo from Larry Semmens explaining the specific transfer details
Thank you for your attention in this matter.

Subject: Boat Launch Project Funding
This ordinance will transfer $125,000 from the FY2006 Public
Improvements Capital Project Fund to the Boat Launch Capital Project
Fund. The idea is to use grant money for the project rather than general fund
money.
Ordinance 2154-2006 appropriated and transferred $135,000 of General
Fund money to the Boat Launch Capital Project Fund to supplement the
$350,000 State grant previously appropriated. This ordinance returns
$100,000 of that money to the General Fund.
The original appropriation was short $20,000. We made an error in
calculating the amount of money needed for the project. So we charged the
$20,250 maintenance portion of the project to the Dock department repair
and maintenance account. This used funds which are needed to replace fuel
dispensers and to do crane inspections. If council approves the ordinance,
the $20,250 charged in the Dock department will be reversed and charged to
the Boat Launch project. This will free up funds to purchase the fuel
dispensers and do the crane inspections.
The total appropriation for the project, including the maintenance
component and $15,000 contingency, is now $510,000, funded as follows:
$350,000 State Grant # 04RR013
$125,000 State Grant # 06DC127

C-5. Resolution No. 2006-20 -- Authorizing the Amendment of the City of
Kenai, Alaska and Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS)
Participation Agreement to Exclude All Elected Officials, Effective May 3,

[Clerk's Note: Consideration of Resolution No. 2006-20 was postponed
from the May 3, 2006 meeting. An active motion to approve Resolution No.
2006-20 is on the floor.]
A lengthy discussion took place during which comments included:
Ross stated he would support the resolution; the city cannot craft a
policy separate from State law; the problem exists due to under -funding from the State
over 14 years; the inclusion of elected officials adds to the problem; if you are a 20 -
hour a week employee of the city, you do not qualify for the benefit, however a 20 -hour
a month council member, you do (accruing the same benefits as a full-time employee
except a lower salary); because of the inequity, he did not believe the system could
support the cost.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL :MEETING
MAY 17, 2006

• Swarner stated she did not agree with Ross entirely and believed the
resolution showed prejudice against a certain group and she believed the State created
the problem a number of years ago.
® Molloy stated he received a lot of information, but felt the missing
information was the calculation showing how the city's contribution rate would be
lower if the resolution was adopted. Finance Director Semmens noted, the city had
not calculated what the difference in the rate would be, however if the council were to
opt out, the future rate would be less if a situation occurred where a person could be
in the system but not vested and then vests while on council. At that time, the city
incurs an unfunded liability. He noted, the city cannot craft a situation to leave
council in PERS and get away around the liability problem.
• Mayor Porter stated she would support the resolution; the council is a
different class as elected officials and are not employees; and, she did not believe the
citizens of the city should have to pay benefits for the council members as they are
public servants. She noted, she earned her benefits in the PERS system through her
previous 23 -year employment.
Council Member Boyle stated he thought it acceptable for council to
receive the benefits as the council is providing services to the citizens; opting out
would set a precedent; the legislative bill focuses on a single group of people; feels
failing the resolution would have minimal effect on the expenses of the city; being a
council member has value; and, he would support the resolution.
6 Ross noted, other communities on the Peninsula had already opted out
elected officials.
Molloy noted his behcf an inequity existed by `Seating different classes of
people differently; did not see any lessening or benefit to the contribution rate with the
passage of the resolution; not everything can be viewed as whether is a liability or not,
but should be considered whether there is benefit; the issue does not affect him
because he has always been in private business and would have to be on council for
ten years to qualify and has to look at what is for long term; and, felt passage of the
resolution would indicate being a council member does not have enough value to have
the benefit and did not believe there was enough data existed to support that thought.
e Semmens noted, the current status in projected contributions is
$11,500,000 in liability and projected actuarial -required rate is in excess of 29%; until
2000, council members were by statute included in PERS; in 2000 PERS requested
ratification of council members being included; and, term limits would not fix the
problem.
Porter stated she would support the resolution as she believed, at the
absolute least, if vested, one could retire and receive a minimum of $3,000 a year and
all that was paid was $27/month toward the contribution; the largest is the medical
benefit which escalates every year; and, the amounts of the benefits would be better
served in services to the community and not a benefit to council members.
® Council Member Massie stated he believed it was not the fault of council
members the retirement system is in disorder; that chances were very slim council

members would draw on the benefit; he would not support the resolution; and, the
problem is with the State.

• They rent their home approximately three times a week, one group at a

• There is usuallv one car or two per rental.
• They rent the house Mav-July and a few days in August (approximately
50 days out of the year).
• Their clients are 80% repeats.
• Addressing comments made at the last public hearing: All their cleaning
of fish is done at Poachers Cove; they now have bear resistant garbage cans at the
house; since they do not fish red salmon, there are no red salmon carcasses on the
property; they do not operate the guide service from their home; they do not have any
livestock.
• Because there was no waiting period required by the city code, they
amended their previous application and reapplied for the Conditional Use Permit.
• They do not personally advertise on the internet, however the business is
listed through other public information.
• She has twice submitted complaints of a neighbor's dog charging her in
her driveway.
They want a quiet subdivision.
Goodloe apologized for not having a permit to operate the business -- they were not
aware it was required, they generally keep to themselves; and, they had been unaware
of the situation.
Commission questions asked included:
• How do the clients get from the house to where they fish? Goodloe
answered, they mostly drive themselves, however she and/or Carlson sometimes pick
them up.
Referring to complaints of boats being towed on the street, was she
confident they were not their boats? Goodloe answered yes.
Ron "RW" Walbecker -- Walbecker spoke in support of the approval of the permit,
noting he had known Goodloe since 1988 and Carlson since 1982; confirmed the

applicants fish from Poachers Cove and the clients are approximately 80% repeats; all
the fish cleaning is done at Poachers Cove; the boat is always at Poachers Cove; has
heard only one complaint at Poachers Cove about the applicants; and, felt the permit
should be approved.
Kathy Bush, 225 Richfield Drive, Kenai -- Bush stated her support to approve the
permit, explaining she lives across the street from the Goodloe/Carlson home and
read into the record a written statement which noted she has had problems with dogs
and called Animal Control; the business is low maintenance and the place is always
kept neat and tidy; the rental business impact to the neighborhood is minimal; there
are other rentals in the neighborhood; and, they operate only a few months of the year
which brings in sales tax and economic development.
Loretta Pearce, 155 Richfield Drive -- Pearce spoke in opposition to the permit
approval explaining she lives across the street from the applicant's home; the concern
is of the clients who come to her home to request help to jump-start vehicles, etc.;
and, when the applicants are not at the home, she does not feel comfortable. Pearce
also explained she thought the last time the issue was before the council, it was a final
decision and believed that readdressing the issue was in error.
Dave Horton, 105 Richfield Drive, Kenai -- Horton spoke in opposition to the permit
approval, explaining he was new in the neighborhood; there young children and
families residing in the neighborhood; he does not know the applicants; adding
businesses on the back side in a neighborhood with no sidewalks would generate a
traffic health/safety issue; and, stated he appreciated the moratorium on business
development off the Spur Highway.
Horton was asked if he believed renting to one group at a time with one car would
have such a big impact on the community and he answered, speeding and accidents
could happen.
Sheryl Russell, 4220 North Dogwood, Kenai -- Russell spoke in opposition to the
approval of the permit, stating she did not want guide services coming into the
subdivision or short-term rental cabins and noted her concerns of speeding of the
clients.
Mark Tudor, Community Schools Director at Soldotna High School -- Tudor
explained he is also a guide on the river; knows the applicants; did not believe the
applicants' clients would be those speeding as most of the clients are gone early in the
morning and return after cleaning the fish; and, spoke in support of the applicants
and the approval of the permit.
Steve Wooley, 1008 Crow Court, Kenai -- Spoke in support of the approval of the
permit, noting he knows the applicants; assured the Commission all fish are
processed at Poachers Cove because he picks the fish up from there and ships it; he
also checks on the applicants' house during the winter, keeping the driveway plowed
and drives by twice a day.

PAGE 4
Ashley Blackford, 175 Richfield Drive, Kenai -- Spoke in support of the approval of
the permit, noting there were no reasons to deny the permit as it is a livelihood; there
were gross generalizations made of tourists; and, in her three years living in the
neighborhood, she had never seen a bear or signs of bears.
Quincy Blackford, 175 Richfield Drive, Kenai -- Spoke in support of the approval of
the permit, noting he knows the Pearces and is the next-door neighbor of the
applicants; he is neutral; it does not bother him having the business there; he has
concerns the school bus drives too fast in the neighborhood; and, he did not object to
the business.
Mary Beth Rathman, Funny River Road -- Spoke in support of the approval of the
permit, noting she has met many of the applicants' clients and they are good, quiet
people; clients fish from 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and believed the year permit should be
approved to see how things go.
Steve Wooley, 1008 Crow Court, Kenai -- Referred to a comment made by Pearce
that the sign could not be read, and stated he noticed it right away and contacted the
applicants to inform them the sign had been placed.
Dave Horton, 105 Richfield Drive, Kenai -- Suggested a pedestrian traffic pattern
study be performed to see what the community lifestyle is on Phillips Drive.
Chuck Thomas, Poachers Cove Neighbor -- Referred to a comment related to
burning at the applicants' Richfield house and noted he had done some projects for
the applicants and there is no chimney, open -pit barbecue, burn pit, etc. He added,
the applicants have the best of reputations on the river and guide business; he sees
their customers everyday; there is the same amount of traffic at Poachers Cove as on
Richfield Dr ve which is one veehicle; and, supported the apprQVal of the pPPTnl t.
There being no further public comments, the public hearing was closed. Comments of
Commission included:
F ullinck suggested consideration should be given to whether the
applicants are at the house everyday (during the rental season).
Y Romain stated he believed the issue seemed to be between one neighbor
and clients of the applicants; the applicant needs to better control the clientele
informing them not to bother the neighbors, obey house rules, etc.; concerned
neighbors should document infractions and report them; there are four other guide
permits in the area and it could be their clients causing some of the concerns stated;
all should work together as a neighborhood; and, would support the temporary one-
year permit.
Jenckes stated he would not support the approval of the permit due to
past history of the issue; testimony of neighbors; inconsistencies with the
Comprehensive Plan; and, the health/safety issue.
Bryson requested clarification, asking if there was a moratorium on
construction in the area and Kebschull answered, no new mobile homes are allowed

by code: if there is a limitation to reapplication time and Kebschull answered no.
Bryson added, traffic concerns in the neighborhood should be reported to the Kenai
Police Department as it is their jurisdiction; and, traffic concerns on the Spur Highway
should be reported to the State Troopers.
It was noted a staff recommendation indicated consideration of a seasonal temporary
permit (May through August). Kebschull suggested, because it is a seasonal business
and because of the appeal period, etc., the Commission may want to consider
approving the permit for two seasons to see if there are adverse affects.
MOTION TO AMEND:
Commissioner Bryson MOVED to modify the date of required review to one year
instead of one season. Commissioner Fullinck SECONDED the motion.
Discussion followed related to timing and if an appeal is filed (15 day period would end
June 8 at 5:00 p.m.), and until the Board of Adjustment hears the issue, the whole
season could be gone. Bryson added, the issue would be reevaluated after one year
from the final approval of the permit, effectively after next season.

Kebschull referred to a letter submitted by Shawn Maltby, General Manager of the

requirement the permit be reviewed one year from this date. Commissioner Bryson

hearing and received no comments; a maximum decibel level was not included in the
permit; even though the applicant is aware the length of the games may preclude their
being able to play music, he did not request the time limit be extended.

Municipal Advisory Group Resolution 2006-01
Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline Construction Impact Fund
MAY r
I
KF`\'r,l CIN CLEF,.;
A. Whereas construction of an Alaska gas pipeline will bring impacts to municipalities;
B. Whereas the Alaska Stranded Gas Fiscal Contract establishes an impact payment
schedule to municipalities;
C. Whereas the impact payments will be made to the State of Alaska and distribution
will be subject to appropriation by the Alaska Legislature;
D. Whereas the impacted communities require continuation of the Municipal Advisory
Group, in part to make recommendations on the allocation of construction impact
payments;
Be it therefore resolved:
The Municipal Advisory Group recommends that proposed legislation clarifying the
Stranded Gas Development Act, as contained in Appendix 1: Stranded Gas Development
Act Conforming Amendments, of the Fiscal Interest Finding, be amended as follows:
*See. 15. AS 43.82.505 is amended by adding new subsections to read:
(b) A special account is established in the general fund into which the Department
of Revenue shall deposit impact payments received by the state under (a) of this section.
(c) The Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline Construction Impact Fund is established in
the Department of Revenue. The legislature may appropriate money deposited in the
special account established in (b) of this section, as well as any additional money
considered necessary, to the Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline Construction Impact Fund to
address the economic and social impacts incurred by a municipality, or incurred by a
non-profit organization serving the unorganized borough, during the construction of a
project that is the subject of a proposed contract developed under this chapter.
(d) Nothing in this chapter exempts money deposited into the special account in
the general fund established in (b) of this section from the requirements of AS 37.07
(Executive Budget Act) or dedicates that money for a specific purpose.
(e) The commissioner of commerce, community and economic development, in
consultation with the Municipal Advisory Group, shall use funds appropriated to the
Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline Construction Impact Fund to make grants exclusively to a
municipality, or to a non-profit organization serving the unorganized borough, for
RESOLUTION 2006-02: ISSUES RELATED TO PREVIOUS RESOLUTIONS
A Resolution Requesting Changes to the Alaska Stranded Gas Fiscal Contract to Reflect
Original MAG Requests Relating to Offtake Points, Construction PILTs and
Suspension Termination
Whereas INIAG Resolution 2004-03: In -State Use, requested the State of Alaska to
include the placement of multiple, strategic takeoff points in the rural and urban areas of
Interior, South Central and Southeast Alaska as part of the construction project ;
Whereas the Alaska Stranded Gas Fiscal Contract precludes an offtake point in Canada
that could provide natural gas to Southeast Alaska;
Whereas MAG Resolution 2004-05: Construction PILT requested adequate construction
PILT funds for construction impacts and need for services;
Whereas the Nlunicipal Advisory Group also requested that construction impact
payments begin prior to construction in order for municipalities to provide timely,
effective services to residents;
Whereas the Alaska Stranded Gas Fiscal Contract states that impact payments that extend
beyond nine years from the effective date are subject to an inflation adjustment;
Whereas the contract states the first impact payment is payable at the end of the calendar
year immediately following project sanction;
Be it therefore resolved:
1. The Alaska Stranded Gas Fiscal Contract should be amended to accommodate an
offtake point within the Alaska to Alberta segment with participant support in
order for Southeast Alaska to have access to natural gas.
2. Construction Impact Payments should be subject to an inflation adjustment
beginning immediately upon the effective date of the contract.
3. The first impact payments are to be payable at the end of the calendar year in
which project sanction occurs.
RESOLUTION 2006-03: ISSUES RELATED TO AFFECTS OF A STRANDED GAS
ACT CONTRACT ON EDUCATION FUNDING
A Resolution Requesting Changes to the Alaska statutes to protect local education
funding from adverse effects of provisions of any proposed Stranded Gas Act contract.
Whereas the Stranded Gas Act Municipal Advisory Group (MAG) has consistently
maintained a series of positions that require the State of Alaska hold harmless local
municipalities from adverse financial impacts resulting from the provisions of any
Stranded Gas Act contract proposed;
Whereas the Stranded Gas Act contract currently under consideration between the State
of Alaska and ConocoPhillips, Exxon and BP Exploration would exempt AS43.56
properties from inclusion in the full and true property valuation determination for all
involved municipalities with a general property tax that is used for calculating annual
education funding for local school districts;
Whereas if AS43.56 property values are excluded from the annual full and true value
determinations for local education funding, significant losses of revenue amounting to
millions of dollars could be incurred by local school districts impacted by those
properties being excluded;
Be it therefore resolved:
1. The Stranded Gas Act Municipal Advisory Group strongly objects to the
exclusion of AS43.56 properties from the annual full and true value determination
used in calculating annual education funding in municipalities that have a general
propentty tax.
2. The Stranded Gas Act Municipal Advisory Group requests that the State of
Alaska develop and implement statutory changes that protect local education
f coding from any adverse financial effects resulting from the provisions of any
Stranded Gas Act contract.
MUNICIPAL ADVISORY GROUP RESOLUTION 2006-04
A Resolution supporting the removal of A.S. §43.56 Oil Tax Concessions that lowers the
2006 value of the Trans -Alaska Pipeline
A. Whereas, the intent of the Stranded Gas Development Act is to provide for
a mechanism for achieving the fiscal certainty that potential project
sponsors indicate they need before proceeding with the large investment
needed to bring Alaska North Slope gas to market; and
B. Whereas, the proposed contract between Governor Murkowski and the
producers under the Stranded Gas Development Act has now been
released in full; and
C. Whereas, the proposed contract provides significant changes in the
present taxation of oil property currently taxed in Alaska; and
D. Whereas, the Stranded Gas Development Act specifically states, in A.S.
§43.82.010(1), "encourage new investment to develop the state's stranded
gas resources by authorizing establishment of fiscal terms related to that
new investment without sionificantiv altering tax and rovaltv methodologies
and rates on existinq oil and gas infrastructure and production'; and
E. Whereas, the Stranded Gas Development Act specifically precludes in
A.S. §43.82.010 interference with non -gas related taxation; and
F. Whereas, under the proposed contract the value of the Trans -Alaska Oil
Pipeline System (TAPS) is established at approximately $3.49 Billion; and
G. Whereas, the State Assessment Review Board (SARB) ruled on May 24,
2006, that the assessed value of TAPS should be increased to
$4,306,271,800.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Municipal Advisory Group that:
If changes in oil taxation remain in the proposed gas contract the value of
TAPS in the contract should be increased to the value established by the
State Assessment Review Board of $4,306,271,800.

A Resolution supporting the removal of A.S. §43.56 Oil Tax Concessions that
specifically target taxes presently being collected by the City of Valdez
A. Whereas, the intent of the Stranded Gas Development Act is to provide for
a mechanism for achieving the fiscal certainty that potential project
sponsors indicate they need before proceeding with the large investment
needed to bring Alaska North Slope gas to market; and
B. Whereas, the proposed contract between Governor Murkowski and the
producers under the Stranded Gas Development Act has now been
released in full; and
C. Whereas, the proposed contract provides significant changes in the
present taxation of oil property currently taxed in Alaska; and
D. Whereas, the Stranded Gas Development Act specifically states, in A.S.
§43.82.010(1), "encourage new investment to develop the state's stranded
gas resources by authorizing establishment of fiscal terms related to that
new investment without significantiv alterinq tax and rovalty methodologies
and rates on existing oil and gas infrastructure and production'; and
E. Whereas, the proposed contract makes numerous references to taxation
by the City of Valdez of vessels in excess of 95 feet. Two of the
participants in the gas contract have entered into settlement agreements
with the City of Valdez regarding the taxes paid on their vessels over 95
feet and one has appealed a Superior Court ruling on this case to the
Alaska Supreme Court; and
F. Whereas, the Stranded Gas Development Act specifically precludes in
A.S. §43.82.010 this sort of interference with non -gas related taxation.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Municipal Advisory Group that:
All reference in the proposed contract making reference to the City of
Valdez ordinance related to personal property tax on vessels over 95 feet
be stricken in its entirety from the proposed gas contract.

Subject: Tract A, Baron Park Subdivision No. 12
The purpose of this correspondence is to discuss a request from Salamatof Native
Association, Inc., to purchase Tract A, Baron Park Subdivision.
Ms. Penny Carty, in her letter to the city (attached) initiating a sales process, states "The
Association's intent is to develop a professional office building for our organization and
for office rental space. Our initial development is expected to be approximately 2,500 to
3,500 square feet. I believe the construction would be within two years..."

Howard to Koch dated 5/24/06).
The construction of only a 2,500 s.f. — 3,500 s.f. office building on a tract of 16.20 acres
would leave a significant portion of property underutilized.
My calculations show that a 3,500 s.f. single story office building, parking and related
improvements would usually cover no more than 25,000 s.f. of lot area. So even if two
3,500 s.f. office buildings were contemplated two acres (87,120 s.f.) should be sufficient
in size.
This area is undergoing rapid development and I do not believe it to be in the City's best
interest to sell a 16 acre parcel when only a small portion of the property will be
developed.
I request that the Council direct the City Manager to meet with Ms. Carry to determine if
Salamatof Native Association Inc., is interested in acquiring a smaller parcel from a
subdivision of this property.

Salamatof Native Association, Inc. wishes to initiate the sale of the above referenced

The Association's intent is to develop a professional office building for our organization

2,500 to 3,000 square feet. I believe the construction would be within two years and cost
would range between $390,000 and $465.000. Future exnansi_on would take place at a
later date. It is our intention to maintain & develop the property in a professional
manner.

RE: Tract A, Baron Park Subdivision No. 12
We received a request from Salamatof Native Association, Inc. to purchase Tract A, Baron
Park Subdivision. The property consists of 16.10 acres adjacent to Marathon Road. The FAA
has released the parcel for lease or sale for non -airport purposes. The property is within the
proposed airport reserve.
KMC 22.05.010 and 22.05.030 require that disposal or sale of lands shall be made only when,
in the judgment of the City Council, such lands are not required for a public purpose.
Ordinance No. 2038-2004 allowing the sale was passed by Council and was effective on June
5, 2004. The property was previously advertised for sale in 2004, based on a request from
Aspirations, Inc. Their intent was to build a long-term residential treatment facility for youth.
However, they did not submit a bid and no other bids were received.
Sale would be by competitive bid at not less than the fair market value. Let me know if I
should proceed by ordering an appraisal.

In Mav 2005 the department hosted the annual statewide Alaska Peace Officers Association Conference at Kenai
Landing. We were proud to be the first conference to be hosted at the newly opened resort. This professional
training event brought in over 200 officers and their families from around Alaska to enjoy our beautiful City.
oughout 2005, planning and preparation for the security of the 2006 Arctic Winter Games was a significant
department commitment. We actively partnered with our community, as well as State and Federal government
entities, to provide the manpower and technology resources to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all

KENAI POLICE DEPARTMENT
107 SOUTH WILLOW STREET I ENAI, AK 99611
TO: Rick Koch, City Manager
FROM: Chuck Kopp, Chief of Police
DATE: May 4, 2006
SUBJECT: 2005 Annual Report
Telephone (907)'33-7579
Fax (907) 233-2267
The Police Department is responsible for the operational and supervisory oversight of the
Communications and Animal Control Departments, as well as the Code Enforcement Officer.
The Annual Report is a composite summary of department activities' across a broad spectrum of
the police, emergency communications and animal control functions. Highlights include
department summary reports; table of service requests by call type; table of all reported offenses
and arrests; civil calls for service; motor vehicle crash data; community programs; emergency
response partnerships; and department employee biographical information.
2005 brought a record 7,364 calls for service, averaging 614 per month, with a peak of 1,039
calls in July. Tourism, itinerant workers and the Kenai River Dipnet Fishery produce a huge
spike of police activity during the summer months. To compensate for this increased activity,
the department hires two seasonal enforcement officers each summer.
The following is a summary of significant department events and activity for 2006:
PERSONNEL
New Hire
Administrative Assistant Danette Howland - hired May 1, 2005.
Dispatcher Mike Nusbaum — hired October 13, 2005.
Retirements(Seoaration
Administrative Assistant Raedynne Robertson — separated April 30, 2005. Ms. Robertson had
seven years of service, and was selected as the 2005 Alaska Peace Officers Association statewide
Member of the Year.
Dispatcher Scott Larson separated from the department after 6 months of service.
I The State of Alaska Kenai River Dipnet Fishery is managed by the Police Department in concert with the Public
Works. Parks and Finance departments. This is the most significant department manpower and resource
commitment on an annual basis. The Police Department submits a separate Annual Dipnet Report to the Council
that summarizes all City support and management activities related to the Dipnet Fishery.
KENAI POLICE DEPARTMENT
PATROL
In 2005 officers spent 48% of their total work time conducting investigations, and 21910 of their
time on patrol. This is a significant decrease from the 40% patrol time logged by officers in
1991. The diminished presence within the community reflects the increase in demands on police
service and resources. An active patrol presence increases compliance with traffic laws, reduces
injury vehicle crashes, identifies drivers with revoked/suspended licenses or criminal warrants,
and drivers under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. It further serves as a deterrent to persons
who desire to commit criminal acts, but choose to refrain from doing so because of the perceived
strength of police presence in the community. Officers recorded 3,169 traffic contacts, resulting
in 1,119 citations, 82 of which were related to motor vehicle crash investigations.
MOTOR VEHICLE CRASHES
In 2005 police investigated 163 vehicle crashes out of a total of 320 reported; a 12% decrease
from 2004 This decrease in crashes may be attributable to increased traffic enforcement shifts
specifically dedicated to highway safety, with help in overtime funding from the Alaska
Highway Safety Office. Kenai Spur Highway MP 10 — 12 (the business district) is the location
with the highest frequency of crashes. Animal action (moose) and speed were the two highest
causal factors of these crashes.
2005 continued dedicated programs designed to reduce crashes and DUI occurrences, and
increase seatbelt use. The department participated in these grant programs and added 291.5
dedicated traffic hours resulting in a safer community by reducing injuries and overall crashes by
12%. Patrol resources are directed at high-risk times, high-risk intersections and stretches of
road, school zones, and the business district. The department completes an exhaustive Motor
Vehicle Crash Report each year (see attached to Annual Report), which helps target resources
where thev are most needed.
INVESTIGATIONS
It is a priority of the department to dedicate the personnel and resources necessary to conduct
quality criminal investigations. A high solvability of major crimes is necessary for a perception
of safety in our community.
In 1991 the department had 16 officers who spent 23% of their total work time on investigations.
In 2005, the department's 17 officers spent 48% of their total work time on investigations. As
Kenai's population and business sector grows, we see a corresponding increase in civil and
criminal activity in the City requiring more police investigative resources.
The increase in investigation time directly affects the amount of patrol time, and vice -versa;
when there is a lack of proactive police presence, criminal activity increases, necessitating a
reactive police response. Investigations of crimes requiring large amounts of time and resources
are nearly always those reported after the crime has been committed. Crimes discovered and
interrupted by proactive patrol are often potential "big cases" that never materialize because of
early detection and immediate police action.
KENAI POLICE DEPARTN117NT
Maior Investigations of 2005

Kenai.
November — Methamphetamime laboratory and burglary of Trapper John's gun store.
Investigation resulted in arrest of two adult male suspects, and recovery of four stolen handguns.
TRAINING
Ongoing training is critical in maintaining a professional police department. The Kenai Police
Department seeks to maximize training dollar efficiency while maintaining a standard that will
serve our officers well in critical situations as well as day-to-day operations. Required training is
in-depth reality -based training that truly prepares an officer to respond effectively to
extraordinary incidents. Civil and criminal laws are constantly changing, necessitating
continuous in-house legal review/update.
In response to identified community needs, and trends in criminal activity, significant officer
training topics included: preventing youth drug abuse, methamphetamime production/trafficking
interdiction, and investigating computer -facilitated crimes against children.
KENAI POLICE DEPARTMENT
Maintaining a strong leadership team through ongoing management training is a department
priority. Sgt. Kornfield attended Southern Police Institute's seminar Managing the Small Law
Enforcement Agencv, Sgt. McBride attended the FBI Executive Development Conference in
Anchorage, and Sgt. Sandahl attended the AML ;IIA Leadership Conference.
In May of 2005 the department hosted the annual statewide Alaska Peace Officers Association
training conference at the newly opened Kenai Landing resort. This premier training event
featured high caliber presentations on domestic terrorism, mission critical and crisis
communications, digital forensic photography, drug -terrorism links, weapons of mass destruction
preparation and response, legal aspects of drug interdiction, officer wellness, community
partnerships and much more. Over 200 officers came from around Alaska to enjoy our beautiful
City.
In August 2005 the department participated in Operation Northern Edge, a statewide Department
of Homeland Security preparedness training drill which exercised federal, state and local
emergency operations plans in response to simulated multiple terrorist attacks in Anchorage,
Juneau, Whittier, Valdez and several other Alaska locations. The department benefits greatly
from exercise participation with State and Federal agencies, which identifies needed training and
operational response improvements for all our public safety entities.
ADMINISTRATIVE PROJECTS
Chief Kopp and Fire Chief Tilly continue to work through the Department of Homeland Security
program to upgrade the safety infrastructure of our city. The first phase of the Kenai Emergency
Operations Center was completed in March 2005. Antenna systems, antenna combiner, and a
Motorola Quantar radio are now in place. Grant funding will be pursued for the EOC until it is
operational to a level sufficient for city needs and partnership interests.
The Kenai Municipal Airport security camera system has greatly enhanced the entire public
safety network. Communications Center personnel are now visually directing responding fire
units to minor aircraft crashes on the runway, and quickly ascertaining threats called in from
airport vendors and flight service operators. Vehicle parking lots and aircraft itinerant parking
spaces are able to be monitored 24/7.
Chief Kopp served as Co -Chair of Security for the 2006 Arctic Winter Games, with Lt.
Wannamaker serving as Security Operations Chief. This proved administratively time intensive,
and much coordination was done with the State Department of Homeland Security, FBI, State
Troopers, Municipal police agencies and many volunteer groups.
KENAI POLICE DEPARTMENT
COMMUNITY SERVICE
Officers are involved in many community support groups, and serve on several community non-
profit boards of directors. These include the 2006 Arctic Winter Games, Kenai Peninsula Youth
Courk Kenai Peninsula Community Care Center, Boy Scouts of America, Explorer Post #460,
Cook Inlet Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse, Community Action Coalition, Leeshore Center,
Kenai Peninsula Youth Detention Center, Citizen Advisory Council, Peninsula Crime Stoppers,
and Alaska Peace Officers Association.
Officers actively partner with civic organizations for Job Shadow Day, KPC Career Day, Health
Fair, Bicycle Rodeos, and other special days that broaden the horizons of our youth. They
volunteer in our community with the Boys & Girls Club, youth bowling leagues, Little League,
Pop Warner Football, American Legion Baseball and other summer programs. Our area
churches and youth groups also receive a considerable amount of officer volunteer support.
GOALS FOR 2006
A safe and successful Arctic Winter Games in March 4 — I3, 2006.
A well managed Dipnet Fishery.
Improved Code Enforcement.
Hire new Chief Animal Control Officer.

CONCLUSION
The Kenai Police Department will continue to provide the very best in public safety services to
our City. The department is stable and has quality personnel with a strong public service ethic.
We will continue to be innovative and resourceful in our problem solving, crime prevention,
investigations, dipnet fishery management, and in our responses to all calls for service.
COMMUNITY PROGRAMS
D.A.R.E.
The Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program continues to receive support from the
children, parents, teachers, and administrators involved in the program. The Youth Services
Officer and one other Kenai Police D.A.R.E. officer present the program to five 5t' grade classes
at Mountain View Elementary School. The program teaches the children how to resist drugs,
interpersonal violence and other illegal activity. In 2005 about 120 fifth graders participated in
the 10 -week curriculum. Approximately 25 to 30 percent of the Youth Services Officer's time is
spent with the D.A.R.E. program.
In the fall of 1995, the department began instructing a follow-up D.A.R.E. program to the 7a'
graders at Kenai Middle School. This program reinforces lessons taught at the 50' grade level.
About 110 seventh -graders participated in the 2005 curriculum.
In late 2004 the departments Youth Services Officer participated in a D.A.R.E. Officer Mentor
development program. In the spring of 2005 he completed the mentorship program, which
enables him to train and certify other D.A.R.E. officers. He is 1 of 3 officers in Alaska to hold
this D.A.R.E. Mentor - Instructor status.
POLICE EXPLORERS
In 1993 the Kenai Chapter of Alaska Peace Officers Association started a Police Explorers
program in cooperation with the Boy Scouts. Local high school students interested in law
enforcement careers participate in the program. Officers from the Kenai and Soldoma Police
Departments provide training/instruction and coordinate the program. After the students
complete the basic training, they are able to assist local police agencies with minor tasks. KPD
Officer Turnage was introduced to law enforcement as a career through our Explorer program.
S.A.R.T.
In October 1998 the Sexual Assault Response Team (S.A.R.T.) became operational at the
Central Peninsula General Hospital (CPGH). Prior to that, sexual assault victims were
transported to South Peninsula Hospital in Homer for a S.A.R.T. exam. In 1997 a S.A.R.T.
steering committee was established to pursue instituting a S.A.R.T. program at CPGH. The
steering committee consisted of members from local law enforcement agencies, District
Attorney's Office, Leeshore Center, and CPGH. The committee obtained a state grant to
purchase some examination equipment and CPGH provided additional equipment and
examination rooms.
In 2003 personnel and training issues caused the CPGH program to close and S.A.R.T. exams
were again performed in Homer. In 2005 the CPGH S.A.R.T exam office was reopened, and the
Kenai Public Health Center opened a new S.A.R.T. exam office. Today the S.A.R.T. program is
healthy and receiving strong support from CPGH, and our public safety community.
CRIMESTOPPERS
The Kenai Police Department provides the call taking service for the Central Peninsuia
Crime Stoppers program on a non -recorded line. The department commits an officer as
the law enforcement coordinator to Central Peninsula Crime Stoppers. The coordinator is
responsible for dispersing tips to other Peninsula Agencies. and for presenting case facts
and tip information to assist the Crime Stoppers board in approving reward money. The
coordinator is also the voice of Crime Stoppers on local radio and with the local
newspaper.
Our local Crime Stoppers program was responsible for breaking up multiple burglary
rings in 2005, leading to multiple arrests and $11,700.00 in recovered stolen property.
One citizen received a $500.00 cash reward, and a second citizen received a $475.00 cash
reward for providing tips to Crime Stoppers.
PUBLIC SAFETY PROGRAMS
In 2005, the department partnered with Kenai Central High School to .start a Fatal Vision
program. This program provides students with a realistic simulation of driving impaired.
The instruction addresses the impacts of alcohol related deaths and injuries due to driving
under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
Officers provided public safety presentations on numerous subjects including: motorist
safety, bicycle safety, child safety seats, drug awareness for parents, Neighborhood
Watch meetings, stranger/danger safety, decision-making/goals, business and residential
security surveys, robbery prevention, crisis communications and Halloween safety.
HIGH SCHOOL MENTORSHIP
The Youth Services officer began participation in a high school mentorship program at
KCHS in 2003. Positive adult role models in our community participate in the program.
A mentor is assigned to one or two at -risk youth, and meets with them once a week at the
high school. This is a progressive, proactive nationwide trend that provides healthy adult
mentoring relationships for youths who are lacking positive role models.
NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH
Woodland Subdivision Neighborhood Watch (new in 2003) interacts regularly with the
police department and is successfully resolving vandalism and traffic safety concerns
through their Neighborhood Watch group. The Rogers Road Neighborhood Watch was
formed in 2005, they have had several planning meetings and are off to a good start.

TRAFFIC SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
Of the 163 investigated collisions involved 282 vehicles and 424 people, seatbelts or approved
restraint devices were reported to be utilized by 96% of involved persons (359/371), and increase
of 2% of that reported in 2004
The 27 injury collisions resulted in 28 persons reporting injuries. They ranged in definition of
possible, non -incapacitating, and incapacitating. Three-year trend data demonstrates a 37%
decrease in injury crashes, and 54% fewer injuries.
Alcohol was a factor in five collisions in which an arrest for Driving Under the Influence was
made. Alcohol or drugs were involved in a total of 12 incidents. The average breath alcohol
concentration for an arrested driver in an MVC was .199 BrAC, which is 2 1112 times the legal
presumptive limit of .08.
Overall, KPD made 103 arrests for DUI in 2005, an increase from 92 in 2004 and slightly down
from 107 in 2003. KPD officers worked an additional 290 hours of dedicated grant overtime
hours for the suppression of drinking and driving.
In 2005, 14 drivers involved in collisions were uninsured and were found to be at fault. 11% of
crashes involved non-insured drivers. 102 drivers were issued summonses for Failure to Insure
Vehicle, and there were 106 citations issued for Failure to Show Proof of Insurance. There is not
a measurable system in place to determine how many of those cited actually did not have
insurance coverage.
Kenai Police Department
2005 Annual Report
Five drivers were found to have suspended or invalid licenses and four were reunu to n� at fault
in 2005 collisions.
Kenai Police officers recorded 3,169 traffic related contacts, resulting in 1,119 citations. 82
citations were a result of crash investigations
There were 27 collisions with moose, a marginal decrease. 4 occurred between January and
March, while 10 occurred between September and December. The majority occurred between
mile 4 and mile 8 (9), between mile 13 and 15 (7), and on Bridge Access Rd (6). All but four
occurred on two-lane, non -lighted roadways with a posted speed limit of 55 mph except for two
that occurred on Beaver Loop Rd.
The 320 reported collisions in 2005 are a decrease of 12%. The 163 investigations represent an
annual decline, and is 3% less than 2004 Reported, but not investigated accidents include
vehicles in the ditch, those that incur less than reportable damage requirements, and those
occurring on private property In the latter part of 2005, KPD implemented a policy of not
investigating minor Hit and Run incidents in parking lots that resulted in minimal damages. This
will result in a decrease in the number of investigated incidents in relation to those reported.
The collisions were evenly spread among the days for occurrence. The majority of the collisions
happen between 1200 and 1800 (44%). The second highest time was between 1800 and 2400.
Nearly 68% of the collisions took place in these time periods, and most of them before 8pm.
63% of the collisions occurred during the workweek.
Patrol officers spent 48% of their time conducting investigations and 21% of the time dedicated
to patrol. Additionally, 7% of patrol officers' time was allocated to training. This data represents
a continuing trend of decreased patrol time and an increase in investigative time.
2005 continued dedicated traffic safety programs designed to reduce crashes and injuries, DUI
occurrences, and increase seatbelt use. KPD participated in these grant programs and added 290
dedicated traffic hours resulting in a safer community by reducing motor vehicle crashes and
injuries.
Our mission, together with the community of Kenai, is to make our city a dace where all people
live safely and without fear. The efforts of the Kenai Police Department ;olying community
policing and innovative problem solving is reflected in the results repre in this report
towards support of our mission.

TO: Charles M. Kopp
Chief of Police
KENAI P®LICE DEPARTMENT
107 SOUTH WILLOW STREET KENAI, AK 996U
FROM: Lee Gattenbv
Communications Supervisor
DATE: May 23, 2006
SUBJECT: 2005 Annual Report
Telephone (907) 283-7879
Fax(907)283-2267
The Communications Department is a designated E911 Primary Public Safety Answering Point
(PSAP) through which Kenai Police, Fire and Animal Control Departments are able to maintain
their law/code enforcement, emergency medical and search and rescue responsibilities to the
public. Kenai dispatch has also been designated as the back-up center for the Soldotna PSAP
(Soldotna Post AST) during emergencies. The department answers five 911 lines, 16
administrative phone lines (18 lines after hours, weekend/holidays), four radio frequencies, the
FAA crash phone and the peninsula wide Crime Stoppers line. The employees of the
Communications Department are most often the first contact the public has with the City.
During the 2005 calendar year, Dispatch fielded 7,364 calls for service to Police and 1,207
Fire/EMS calls. It is typical that dispatch will answer 180 administrative calls in a 24-hour
period (peaking to 350 per day during the summer). The department coordinates street and
Airport grading, sanding and snow removal response after normal business hours during the
winter months. They also monitor and respond to city alarms that service the Airport terminal
and the Water Sewer lift stations. Dispatch routinely handles walk-in customers for `fix -it
tickets', report requests, officer interviews or informational inquiries 24 hours a day, seven days
a week.
Communications staff provides extensive support to the Police Department in the way of record
keeping and case file construction for submittal to various legal agencies (e.g. District Attorney,
Alaska Court System, Division of Juvenile Justice, Office of Child Services). It maintains
various statistical reports, including the FBI Uniform Crime Reports, National Crime
Information Center reporting, Alaska Public Safety Information Network entry and Crime
Stopper data. Dispatch also monitors alarms for business, residential and financial institution
security systems, and archives Department records.

Re. 2005 annual reaor-
I reviewied the annual report and compiled a few statistics of note:
From 2001+ to 20051,010; animals handled increased 11%
Total cats increased 18% and now 38% of the animals we handle are cats.
In August 2005 we handled more cats (70) than dogs (63). That has never
happened before, that same month we adopted out 80 animals. (on a typical
month we place 35-45 animals)
Field Investigations/Service Requests increased 15%
Animal Impoundments increased 24%fl
Although euthanasia numbers increased 13%, we held euthanasia to 45% of
total animals handled
Known Boro Animals increased 21 %
Volunteer Hours declined 33%
Attached find some multiple year charts highlighting some trends.

Re: 2005 Code Enforcement Officer Activity Report
In 2005, I was able to;
- reduce a backlog of open cases by approximately one half.
Prior Cases New Cases Cases Investieated* Cases Closed
41 36 276 38
[*Cases investigated include multiple trips to same property on different days]
- set up a Suspense File to monitor on-going cases.
In 2006, my goals are to;
- provide quicker response to newly opened cases and
- reduce time that a case is open.
- provide timely feed -back to complainants (when known).
