MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Knackstedt and Council Members
THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM: Tyler Best, Kenai Parks and Recreation Director
DATE: January 13, 2026
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2026-04 - Authorizing a Budget Transfer within the Kenai
Recreation Center Improvements Capital Project Fund.
Over the past several years at the Kenai Recreation Center, the City has invested in significant
facility improvements, including athletic floor refinishing, roof repairs, and other building upgrades
that have improved both safety and functionality.
The Recreation Center Athletic Floor Refinishing Project originally appropriated $75,000 from the
General Fund. However, the project was completed using grant funding, leaving the original
General Fund allocation unused. In addition, the Recreation Center Improvements Project, which
included roof repairs, has a remaining balance of $17,633.07.
Additional areas in the Rec Center have been identified that would benefit from improvements
and maintenance. These items include, but are not limited to, a drop curtain, soundboard
upgrades, and other maintenance items identified in the gymnasium section of the Kenai Rec
Center.
This resolution authorizes reallocating the unused $75,000 and the remaining $17,633.07
balance, totaling $92,633.07, into a single Recreation Center Improvements activity. Combining
these available funds preserves the original intent of the appropriations by continuing to support
Rec Center improvements while providing flexibility to address current improvements and
maintenance needs using funds that have already been appropriated for this purpose.
Approval of this resolution will allow the City to efficiently utilize existing funds, avoid unnecessary
new appropriations, and continue investing in the long-term functionality and upkeep of the Kenai
Recreation Center.
