• Provides more specific language on the role and purpose of the Canvass Board.
Extends the Canvass Board meeting time from one day to up to five days, to
accommodate the increased volume of voted ballot envelopes requiring
adjudication when the City elections are conducted concurrently with Federal, State
and Borough elections.
Authorizes the Canvass Board to initiate a recount when warranted, rather than
limiting its role to recommending one. This recommended change would expedite
the recount process and allow for a timely certification of the election when a
recount is necessary.

Ordinance No. 3520-2026
Page 3 of 7
(a) Relationship to Adjoining Street System. The arrangement of streets in new subdivisions [SHALL]
will make provisions for the continuation of the principal existing streets in adjoining areas (or their
proper projection where adjoining land is not subdivided) insofar as they may be deemed necessary by
the Commission for public requirements. The width of such streets in new subdivisions [SHALL] will be
not less than the minimum widths established [HEREIN] in the current edition of the City of Kenai Road
Design Manual. The street and alley arrangement [SHALL] must be such as not to cause a hardship to
owners of adjoining property when they plat their own land and seek to provide for convenient access
to it. Offset streets should be avoided. Streets obviously in alignment with existing streets [SHALL] will
bear the names of the existing streets. All proposed street names [SHALL] will be checked against
duplication of other street names.
[(B) STREET AND ALLEY WIDTH.
(1) THE WIDTHS OF MAJOR HIGHWAYS SHALL CONFORM TO THE WIDTHS DESIGNATED ON THE MAJOR
STREET PLAN.
(2) THE MINIMUM WIDTH FOR MINOR STREETS SHALL BE SIXTY (60) FEET, EXCEPT THAT THE KENAI
CITY PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, MAY, IN ITS DISCRETION BY MAJORITY VOTE OF ITS
MEMBERS, LESSEN THIS DISTANCE TO NOT LESS THAN FIFTY (50) FEET. A WIDER STREET WIDTH MAY
BE REQUIRED WHERE THE STORM WATER IS ACCOMMODATED IN AN OPEN DITCH OR IN DITCHES ALONG
PAVEMENT. WHEN MINOR STREETS ADJOIN UNSUBDIVIDED PROPERTY, A HALF STREET AT LEAST THIRTY
(30) FEET IN WIDTH MAY BE DEDICATED AND WHENEVER SUBDIVIDED PROPERTY ADJOINS A HALF
STREET, THE REMAINDER OF THE STREET SHALL BE DEDICATED.
(3) ALLEYS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED IN SINGLE AND TWO-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS; AND WHEN
PROVIDED, A MINIMUM WIDTH OF TWENTY (20) FEET SHALL BE REQUIRED. ALLEYS ARE REQUIRED IN
THE REAR OF ALL BUSINESS LOTS AND SHALL BE AT LEAST TWENTY (20) FEET WIDE. THERE SHALL BE
PREPARED AND MAINTAINED FOR PUBLIC INFORMATION, A SET OF STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS FOR ALL
CONSTRUCTION OF ANY NATURE TO ANY STREET, ALLEY, EASEMENT, OR OTHER PUBLIC WAY WITHIN
THE CITY OF KENAI. SAID SPECIFICATIONS SHALL BE PREPARED BY THE CITY MANAGER AND SHALL BE
MAINTAINED AS OTHER PUBLIC RECORDS.]
[(c)] Easements. Easements of at least ten (10) feet in width [SHALL] must be provided on [EACH
SIDE OF REAR] front lot lines and along the side or rear lot lines, where necessary, for poles, wires,
conduits, storm, and sanitary sewers, gas, water, or other mains. Wherever possible, lot lines [SHALL]
will be arranged to bisect the exterior angle so that pole guys will fall along the side lot lines.
Easements of greater width may be required along or across lots where necessary for the extension of
main sewers or other utilities or where both water and sewer lines are located in the same easement.
(C) [(D)] Blocks.
(1) No block [SHALL] will be longer than one thousand four hundred (1,400) feet. Where blocks
are longer than one thousand (1,000) feet, a crosswalk at least ten (10) feet in width may be
required near the center of the block.
(2) In platting residential lots containing less than ten thousand (10,000) square feet, the depth
of the block should not exceed twice the minimum width allowed under the zone district in which
the lot is located.
(3) Where a tract of land is of such size or location as to prevent a lot arrangement directly related
to a normal street design, there may be established one or more courts, dead end streets, or other
arrangements; provided, however, that proper access [SHALL] must be given to all lots from a
dedicated street or court. A dead-end street [SHALL] must [TERMINATE IN AN OPEN SPACE
(PREFERABLY CIRCULAR) HAVING A MINIMUM RADIUS OF FIFTY (50) FEET] conform to standards set by
New Text Underlined; [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED]
Ordinance No. 3520-2026
Page 4 of 7
the current edition of the City of Kenai Road Design Manual. [A DEAD END STREET SHALL NOT
EXCEED ONE THOUSAND (1,000) FEET IN LENGTH.]
[(E)] Lots.
(1) The lot arrangement and design [SHALL] must be such that all lots will provide satisfactory and
desirable building sites, properly related to topography and the character of surrounding
development.
(2) All sidelines of lots [SHALL] must be at right angles to straight street lines and radial to curved
street lines, except where a variation to this rule will provide a better street and lot layout. Lots
with double frontage shall be avoided.
(3) No lot [SHALL] must have an area or width less than that required by the zoning ordinance.
(4) Where corner lots back upon lots facing the side street, the corner lot [SHALL] must have an
extra ten foot width sufficient to permit the establishment of front building lines on both the front
and side of the lots adjoining the streets.
(5) In subdivisions where septic tanks or other individual sewage disposal devices are to be
installed, the size of all lots included in such subdivision [SHALL] must be sufficient to meet Alaska
Department of Environmental Conservation requirements.
(e) [(F)] Character of Development. The subdivider [SHALL] must confer with the Commission regarding
the type and character of development that will be permitted in the subdivision, and may agree to place
certain minimum restrictions upon the property to prevent the construction of substandard buildings,
control the type of structures or the use of the lots which, unless so controlled, would clearly depreciate
the character and value of the proposed subdivision and of adjoining property. Covenants running with
the land may be included to provide for the creation of a Property Owners' Association or Board of
Trustees for the proper protection and maintenance of the development in the future, provided, however,
that such covenants [SHALL] may not contain reversionary clauses wherein any lots [SHALL] will return to
the subdivider because of a violation thereon of the terms of the covenants. Covenants will not be
enforced by the City.
[(G)] Parks, Schools, and Sites. In subdividing property, consideration [SHALL] will be given to suitable
sites for schools, parks, playgrounds, and other common areas for public use so as to conform to any
recommendations of the City's Comprehensive Plan, or any City Council approved plan, such as the
Parks & Recreation Master Plan or Airport Master Plan. Any provision for schools, parks, and playgrounds
should be indicated on the preliminary plan in order that it may be determined when and in what manner
such areas will be provided or acquired by the appropriate taxing agency.
Lq) [(H)] Easements Along Streams. Whenever any stream or important drainage course is located in
any area which is being subdivided, the subdivider [SHALL] must provide an adequate easement along
each side of the stream for the purpose of widening, deepening, sloping, improving, or protecting the
stream for drainage purposes.
(1) The State of Alaska Department of Fish and Game has jurisdiction over anadromous fish and
pursuant to AS 16.05.871 and 5 AAC 95.011 maintains and updates the "Atlas and Catalog of
Waters Important for Spawning, Rearing, or Migration of Anadromous Fish." Management of
impacted watersheds is administered through the Kenai Peninsula Borough.
(2) The Kenai Peninsula Borough, through the Kenai River Center, reviews developments that
may impact the Kenai River watershed. The City of Kenai Floodplain Administrator, as designated
in KMC 14.30.040(b), will refer developers or subdividers to the River Center. An application for
a permit must be made to the Kenai River Center, if impacts are deemed likely to occur.

TO: Mayor Knackstedt and Council Members
THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
THROUGH: Lee Frey, Public Works Director
FROM: Kevin Buettner, Planning Director
DATE: April 14, 2026
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3520-2026 — Amending Kenai Municipal Code Chapter
14.10 - Subdivision Regulations and Amending Kenai Municipal Code
Section 18.10.030 - Street Improvements to Remove Road Design
Standards from Code and Replace them with a Street Design Standards
Manual. (Administration).
Based on the community survey in autumn 2025, housing availability and affordability were noted
as important issues within the community. This was further highlighted during conversations with
the Kenai Peninsula Borough, Kenai Peninsula Economic Development District (KPEDD), local
realtors, and both large- and small-scale developers that took place during a Housing Assessment
effort sponsored by KPEDD.
During the development discussions, developers highlighted the need for clean and consistent
subdivision design, roadway, and utility standards. These requirements occur in several places in
Kenai Municipal Code. Administration determined, in an effort to streamline development
requirements, it would be best to remove the standards from code and reference a separate
design manual. This policy would allow Administration to be update the manual as needed without
making changes to code.
The Public Works Department subsequently reviewed existing road and subdivision standards
and in coordination with an engineering consultant and developed a draft City of Kenai Street
Design Standards Manual. This was in an effort to reduce confusion, support predictable
development review, and streamline processes for future development. They held an Open House
on April 1311 and received comments from local contractors and consultants which have been
reviewed and incorporated into the final document included. Council will be notified of future
changes to the Manual. Utility standards are being reviewed and will be introduced at a future
date.
Based on these changes, and following Council's directive from the November 5, 2025 regular
meeting, the Planning & Zoning Department reviewed all code reference regarding subdivision
regulations, as well as road standards, which are contained therein. After hosting a Work Session
with the Planning & Zoning Commission in late 2025, the proposed changes to code and the draft
standards are presented to Council for their consideration.
Thank you for your consideration.

vii
This manual is intended to accomplish the following goals:
(1) To establish standards for the design and construction of transportation networks throughout
the City of Kenai right-of-ways.
(2) To provide information and guidelines for the design, construction, and upgrade of roads within
rights -of -way.
(3) To develop and maintain a safer and more efficient transportation system.
(4) To minimize operation & maintenance efforts.
Al General
These provisions establish appropriate standards for the design of roads. The purpose of these provisions is
to:
(1) promote the safety and convenience of motorized and non -motorized traffic;
(2) promote the safety of residents and users;
(3) minimize the long-term costs for maintenance and repair; and
(4) provide guidelines and standards for public use
A2 Applicability
These standards apply to the design and construction of all subdivision road improvements and
construction within the City of Kenai (COK).
A3 Street Classifications
Roads within the COK fall within one of the following functional classifications as defined by the State of
Alaska Department of Transportation, Interstate, Principal Arterial, Minor Arterial, Major Collector, Minor
Collector, and Local Road. Functional classification of a road is based on its function, design, and current
potential use. The functional classification of existing roads abutting or affecting the design of a subdivision
or land development may be reviewed during the preapplication process. Existing mapping can be found
here,
https://akdot.maps.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=8d34059bbfed4fada20a4fdc2al38ac
a
This section provides design guidance for roads falling below arterials classifications. All interstates and
arterials located within City of Kenai are owned, designed and maintained by the Department of
Transportation. Local road, and collector functions including residential, residential sub -collector, residential
collector, commercial, and pioneer road classifications are covered in this guide.
City of Kenai Road Classification Map included as Appendix 1.
A3.1 Residential Street
Residential streets are local roads intended to carry the least amount of traffic at the lowest speed. The
Residential Street will provide the safest and most desirable environment for a residential neighborhood.
Developments should be designed so that all, or the maximum number possible, of the homes will front
this class of street.
A3.2 Residential Sub -Collector Street
Residential Sub -collector streets are local roads that carry more traffic than Residential streets.
2
A3.3 Residential Collector Street
Residential Collector streets are the highest order of residential streets and are a type of collector. In large
residential developments, this class of street may be necessary to carry traffic from one neighborhood to
another or from the neighborhood to other areas in the community. Residential Collector streets should
offer minimal direct access points.
A3.4 Pioneer Road
Pioneer Roads are intended to allow road development to access lots through undeveloped Right -of -Way
and may only be used where allowed by COK. This classification establishes minimum requirements for
roads providing physical access, but should otherwise be designed to Residential, Residential Sub -Collector
or Residential Collector standard as required by this section. No COK maintenance will be provided for
Pioneer Roads. Pioneer Roads may be constructed no less than %-width as required by the classification
and be offset from the centerline of the ROW to facilitate future expansion. COK may require engineering
or construction of a Pioneer Road at a higher classification if future development of a ROW is anticipated.
A3.5 Commercial Street
Commercial Streets serve corridors with large amounts of adjacent commercial land uses. Commercial
streets should emphasize convenient vehicular traffic movement and access to adjacent properties.
A3.6 Alleys
Alleys are permitted provided legal and physical access conforms to COK or other applicable code. Alleys
provide secondary access to lots. No COK maintenance will be provided for Alleys.
A4 Design Criteria
The minimum design criteria for Residential, Residential Sub -Collector, Residential Collector streets,
Pioneer Roads, and Commercial Streets are set forth in Table A-1. Any unspecified design criteria shall meet
or exceed the design criteria for the roadway design speed in the latest edition of A Policy on Geometric
Design of Highways and Streets (AASHTO). Higher design speeds may require corresponding changes to
other design parameters such as alignment and will be proposed by design engineer and approved by City.
Commercial streets should be designed to meet the standards of AASHTO, International Fire Code (IFC),
and any other applicable standards or code along with the COK code.

A8 Intersections
A8.1 Intersection Sight Distance
(a) Whenever a proposed street intersects an existing or proposed street of higher order, the street of
lower order shall be made a stop -controlled street, unless alternate intersection control is used as
allowed by this subsection.
(b) Stop controlled streets shall be designed to provide intersection sight distance as specified in this
subsection, Table A-2, and Figure A-4.
(c) The entire area of the intersection sight triangles shown in Figure A-4 shall be designed to provide a
clear view from point A at 3.5 feet above the roadway to all points 3.5 feet above the roadway along
the lane centerlines from point B to point C and point D to point E.
(d) Sight distances less than the recommended shall only be used when there are topographical or other
physical constraints outside of the applicant's control.
(e) The minimum sight distances listed in Table A-2 are for a passenger car to turn onto a two-lane
undivided street and minor road approach grades of 3 percent or less. For other conditions, the
minimum sight distance should be calculated by the applicant's engineer according to A Policy on
Geometric Design of Highways and Streets (AASHTO).
(f) Sight distances less than the minimum, where no other options exist, will require alternate
intersection control or warning signs as determined by the Applicant's engineer and approved by COK.
(g) Intersection sight triangles shall be located in their entirety within ROW or a sight distance
maintenance easement.
(h) Yield controlled intersections shall conform to sight distance requirements according to A Policy on
Geometric Design of Highways and Streets (AASHTO).
(i) Intersections with state or other municipal ROW are subject to their respective requirements and
review.

A8.2 Intersection Spacing
(a) Minimum centerline to centerline distance between intersections on the same side or opposing
sides of the through street shall be:
(1) 155 feet on Residential streets;
(2) 200 feet on Residential Sub -Collector streets; or
(3) 300 feet on Residential Collectors and Commercial streets.
(b) If the above spacing along the through street cannot be met, intersections shall be aligned directly
across from each other.
(c) Where pre-existing conditions do not allow for the above spacing and no other legal access exists,
alternate spacing or offset most closely meeting (a) or (b) above may be allowed.
(d) Additional intersections should be avoided within the functional area of major intersections with
turning bays and approach tapers. Exceptions require COK approval based upon constraints and no
other feasible alternatives.
A8.3 Minimum Intersection Angle
Streets should intersect with a straight segment at an angle as close to 90' as possible, but no less than
70°, for a minimum of 75 feet from the intersection point, as shown in Figure A-5.
Figure A-5: Intersection Angle

A8.4 Landing
Controlled streets shall be provided with a typical 30-foot landing, conforming to Figure A-6, at its
approach to a through street. The landing shall be sloped to match the crown of the through street.
Vertical curves shall not be located in the landing to the extent feasible. Where a negative slope away
from the through street is not feasible due to topographical constraints, the road shall be constructed in
a manner that prevents water from flowing onto the through street.

A8.5 Paved Apron
A proposed street, not requiring pavement, which intersects an existing paved street shall be provided
with a paved apron 30 feet from the edge of the existing pavement.
A9 Driveways
Driveways are not usually required to be constructed within the ROW at time of road construction.
However, if an applicant chooses to construct driveways, driveway permits are required. An individual
permit is required for each individual driveway along a road construction project. A driveway permit
application can be obtained from COK.
Maximum width of driveways shall be 30 feet. Waivers for wider driveways must be approved through Planning
and Zoning Commission. New driveways through sidewalks or multi -use pathways must conform to ADA
guidelines and use parallel ramps where the cross slope does not exceed 2%. Driveways connected to paved
roads at a minimum must have a 2" thick, 2' wide apron extending off the edge of the paved roadway.
Access onto State of Alaska or Kenai Peninsula Borough owned roads is regulated by those agencies and must
conform to their requirements. COK does not require a COK Driveway Permit for access onto these roads, but
the approved permits from the proper agency will be required for submittal for development of the lot.
A10 Bicycle and Pedestrian Paths
Bicycle and pedestrian paths constructed within public ROW shall conform to the current edition of
Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities (AASHTO), and any other applicable local, state, and
01
federal requirements.
A11 Signage
Signs shall be provided and installed by the applicant in conformance with the latest edition of the
Alaska Traffic Manual (ADOT&PF) and the Alaska Sign Design Specifications (ADOT&PF).
Signage shall be installed per Figure A-7, A-8 and A-9.
Install sign posts according to soil conditions. In firm soils, drive the post to a minimum depth of 30" or
refusal. In loose soils use Figure A-9, excavate the post foundation 24" in diameter and depth specified
based on sign area, place the base of the post in the bottom of the hole and backfill with subbase
material to existing grade. Compact the backfill with a tamping bar or other method until firm. Soil
conditions and point of refusal will be determined by Designer of Record or City Representative.

The following formula shall be used to determine the required classification of streets: ADT = Number of
lots x 10 for single-family residential use. ADT for commercial streets shall be determined by design
engineer.
A13 One Way Streets
One way streets shall be allowed to reduce the minimum lane width by half. All streets should handle two
way traffic if feasible and request to develop a one way street must be submitted for approval with
supporting information to develop one way street.
A14 Access -Driveway Standards
(a) The average access point spacing on roads, where other access standards do not exist, shall not
exceed the minimums listed in Table A-3, based on the posted speed limit. Average access point
spacing is calculated per segment and is equal to the segment length divided by the number of access
points on both sides of the street. Undeveloped lots with only access to the major road corridor are
counted as having at least one access point.
11
(b) When the average access point spacing on a segment of an existing major road corridor is less than
the minimum listed in Table A-3, the average access point spacing shall not decrease due to the
subdivision.
(c) On Roads with a speed limit of 25 mph or lower, the minimum spacing between the edges of adjacent
driveways on the same side of the street shall be 35 feet.
(d) Minimum corner clearance for a driveway to a corner lot shall be 50 feet from the property corner to
the driveway edge.
(e) Deviations in minimum spacing between access points or distances from corners may be
administratively approved through Driveway Permit process.

A15 Paving
Asphalt Paving may be required by COK. Paving may be required if extending a new road off an existing
paved road and/or providing a connection between two paved roads. Isolated roadways that do not
connect to existing paved roadways will not be permitted to be paved and COK would likely require paving
of connecting streets until main access is reached.
A16 Design Deviations
Design deviations will be considered to address extenuating circumstances including but not limited to:
existing substandard ROW, environmental conditions, or existing utilities or other structures. Design
deviation requests shall be submitted in writing and contain supporting information, justification, and
suggested solutions.

accommodate sheet flow within such wetlands.
20
(i) Stream crossing culverts shall not interfere with the functioning of floodplains and shall be designed
to convey the design peak flow required. Non -Regulated streams shall be designed for a 10-year, 24-
hour event and Regulated streams shall be designed for a 100-year, 24-hour event. If the stream
crossing culvert is not designed to accommodate the 100-year flow, a route must be established to
safely convey flows exceeding the design peak flow without causing damage to property, endangering
human life or public health, or causing significant environmental damage.
(j) In cases of crossings within high entrenchment ratio environments, the ratio of the flood prone width
to the OHWM width is greater than 2.2, floodplain overflow culverts may be beneficial to floodplain
connectivity and can be used to pass the design flow. Minimum width requirements for the primary
culvert still apply.
(k) Stream crossing culverts shall have a minimum diameter of three feet.
(1) Stream crossing culvert pipes and arches shall be metal.
(m) Culverts longer than 100 feet require appropriate maintenance access and COK approval.

backslopes, and maintaining positive drainage. If any deficiencies arise during the warranty, COK will issue
a punch list to the applicant by September V to allow time for completion of repairs. The applicant must
notify COK of completion of repairs by October 151h for the roads to be eligible for continued maintenance
on November V.
Maintenance may be denied, and the Certificate of Construction Acceptance revoked if deficiencies are not
corrected to the satisfaction of COK. A notice may be recorded indicating to the public that the COK is not
responsible for road upkeep and maintenance until such a time that the deficiencies are corrected. COK
may require security to perform maintenance activities if deficiencies cannot be repaired for an extended
period of time due to freezing conditions.
E2 Subdivision Agreements
If a developer plans to construct a road within a proposed ROW that has not been platted, they will need to
agree to an Installation Agreement per KMC 14.10.070. Installation Agreement will be required prior to
approval of drawings for construction by COK. In lieu of an installation agreement, a developer may construct
a road within a proposed ROW without City approval, but to be accepted by the City for maintenance, they
must follow the Development Implementation of Section E1.
E3 Pioneer Road Development
The following guidelines are for construction of a Pioneer Road within COK ROW. Applicant will need to
complete a Pioneer Road Application to submit to COK for approval.

MEMORANDUM
K E N 4
210 Fidalgo Ave, Kenai, AK 99611-7794 1907.283.75351 www.kenai.city
TO: Henry Knackstedt and Kenai City Council
FROM: Scott Bloom, City Attorney
DATE: April 25, 2023
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2026-36 - Approving a Lease Utilizing a Non -Standard
Lease Form on Airport Reserve Lands Between the City of Kenai and the
Federal Aviation Administration for the Automated Flight Service Station and
Satellite Communication Network Facilities on Lot 7A-1 FBO Subdivision No.
5.
The City initially received a request for a renewal of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
lease of the Automated Flight Service Station (AFSS). The FAA has leased the space for the
purpose of operating the AFSS and Satellite Communication Network (SACOM) facilities dating
back to 1983. Due to the delay of receiving a final approval of the non-standard lease form from
the FAA, a new lease is required.
The lease agreement is for a 3.44-acre parcel described as Lot 7A-1, FBO Subdivision No. 5
consisting of a 10,812 square foot building and a 729 square foot detached shop. The lease
agreement will commence on October 1, 2022 since the previous lease expired on September
30, 2022 and FAA has remained on the premise to continue their operation.
Pursuant to Kenai Municipal Code 21.10.060 Lease application review, notice of the lease
application was posted in the Peninsula Clarion and stated competing applications may be
submitted for the parcel within 30 days to the City. The 30-day window from publication ended on
July 16, 2022, no competing applications were submitted to the City. Since that time, it has taken
the better part of four years to finally negotiate a lease form with the FAA.
The parcel is within the Airport Light Industrial (ALI) Zone. Pursuant to KMC 14.20.065, the
purpose of the ALI Zone is to protect the viability of the Kenai Municipal Airport as a significant
resource to the community by encouraging compatible land uses and reducing hazards that may
endanger the lives and property of the public and aviation users. The proposed aeronautical use
is a permitted and compatible use in the ALI Zone.
The Imagine Kenai 2030 Comprehensive Plan outlines goals, objectives, and action items for the
City, including the following pertaining to the Kenai Municipal Airport:
Objective T- 1: Support future development near or adjacent to the airport when such
development is in alignment with the Kenai Municipal Airport's primary mission, "To be the
commercial air transportation gateway to the Kenai Peninsula Borough and Cook Inlet."
The continued use complies with the Imagine Kenai 2030 Comprehensive Plan by supporting
development on lease lots with development that is in alignment with the Kenai Municipal Airport
Master Plan.
Thank you for your consideration.

accordance with the law of the place where the act or omission occurred. The foregoing shall not be
deemed to extend the Government's liability beyond that existing under the Act at the time of such
act or omission or to preclude the Government from using any defense available in law or equity.
29. Compliance with Applicable Laws (09/2021) 6.3.31 The Lessor shall comply with all federal, state

interest pertaining to the premises, and to any water, sewer or access easement necessary or desirable

Federal Aviation Administration
Standard Space Lease, 04/2022
OMB CONTROL NO. 2120-0595

such mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument, or the giving of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure, the Government will be deemed to have attorned to any purchaser, purchasers,
transferee or transferees of the premises or any portion thereof and its or their successors and
assigns, and any such purchasers and transferees will be deemed to have assumed all obligations of
the contractor under this contract, so as to establish direct privity of estate and contract between
Government and such purchasers or transferees, with the same force, effect and relative priority in
time and right as if the contract had initially been entered into between such purchasers or
transferees and the Government; provided, further, that the RECO and such purchasers or transferees
shall, with reasonable promptness following any such sale or deed delivery in lieu of foreclosure,
execute all such revisions to this contract, or other writings, as shall be necessary to document the

dies or becomes incapacitated, or otherwise conveys to another party or parties any interest in the

of Transferor's rights and obligations under the Lease to the Transferee. When executed on behalf of
the Government, a Novation Agreement will be made part of the Lease via Supplemental
Agreement.
D. The RECO may request additional information (e.g., copy of the deed, bill of sale, certificate of

regarding the transfer.
E. If the RECO determines that recognizing the Transferee as the Lessor will not be in the
Government's interest, the Transferor shall remain fully liable to the Government for the Transferee's
performance of obligations under the Lease, notwithstanding the transfer. Under no condition shall
the Government be obligated to release the Transferor of obligations prior to (a) the rent
commencement date; and (b) any amounts due and owing to the Government under the Lease that
have been paid in full or completely set off against the rental payments due under the Lease.

to the Government's rights as provided for in this Lease. The Government's obligation to pay rent to

the Transferee as the Lessor is in the Government's interest (which determination will be prompt and
not unreasonably withheld), and the Transferee has met all conditions specified in sub -paragraph F.

this Lease to another agency or private party, with the City's consent. In subleasing this space to
another party, the Government is not relieved from its responsibilities under the terms of this Lease
unless otherwise agreed upon with the Lessor.
35. Integrated Agreement (09/2021) 6.3.36 This Contract, upon execution, contains the entire

A. inspect the leased premises and all other areas of the building to which access is necessary,
B. test all performance requirements under the contract, and
C. perform any necessary sampling and evaluation to ensure contract compliance.
If inspection reveals a contractual non-conformance, then the Government may require the
Contractor to perform in accordance with the contract requirements at no increase in contract amount

"Failure in Performance" clause of this Contract.
The presence or absence of a government inspection does not relieve the Contractor from any
contract requirement, nor is the inspector authorized to change any term or condition of the contract
without the RECO's written authorization.

39. System for Award Management - Real Property (04/2022) 6.4.1-1
(a) Definitions. As used in this clause:
"Registered in the SAM database" means that the Contractor has entered all mandatory information,
including the Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) or the Electronic Funds Transfer indicator, into the
SAM database.
"System for Award Management (SAM) Database" means the primary Government repository for
Contractor information required for the conduct of business with the Government.
"Unique Entity Identifier (UEI)" (also known as the Unique Entity ID) means a number or other
identifier used to identify a specific commercial, nonprofit, or Government entity. See
www.sam.gov for the designated entity for establishing Unique Entity Identifiers.
"Electronic Funds Transfer indicator" means a 4-characher suffix to the Unique Entity Identifier.
This 4-character suffix may be assigned at the discretion of the business concern to establish
additional SAM records for identifying alternative Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) accounts for the
same parent concern.
"Contractor" is synonymous with "Offeror" "Lessor" or "Grantor" for real property leases,
easements, or other contracts.
(b)(1) By submission of an offer, the Contractor acknowledges the requirement that
a prospective awardee will be registered in the SAM database prior to award, during performance,
12
Federal Aviation Administration
Standard Space Lease, 04/2022
OMB CONTROL NO. 2120-0595
and through final payment of any contract.
(2) The Contractor must enter, in the space below, the contractor's UEI that identifies the
Contractor's name and address exactly as stated in the offer. The UEI will be used by the RECO to
verify that the Contractor is registered in the SAM database.
UEI:
(c) If the Contractor does not have a UEI, it should contact www.sam.gov directly to obtain one.
The Contractor should be prepared to provide the following information:
(1) Company* legal business name.
(2) Tradestyle, doing business, or other name by which your entity is commonly recognized.
(3) Company Physical Street Address, City, State, and Zip Code.
(4) Company Mailing Address, City, State and Zip Code (if separate from physical).
(5) Company Telephone Number.
(6) Date the company was started.
(7) Number of employees at your location.
(8) Chief executive officer/key manager.
(9) Line of business (industry).
(10) Company Headquarters name and address (reporting relationship within your entity).
* Individual (non -corporate) lessors/grantors of real property that are not normally in the business of
leasing real property should consider leasing to the Government as a separate business (usually a
sole proprietorship) then provide the pertinent ownership information as a sole proprietor when
providing this information to www.sam.gov.
(d) If the offeror does not become registered in the SAM database in the time prescribed by the
RECO, the RECO may proceed to award to the next otherwise successful registered offeror.
(e) Processing time should be taken into consideration when registering. Offerors who are not
registered should consider applying for registration immediately upon receipt of the solicitation.
(f) The Contractor is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the data within the SAM
database, and for any liability resulting from the Government's reliance on inaccurate or incomplete
data. To remain registered in the SAM database after initial registration, the Contractor is required to
review and update, on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates, its
information in the SAM database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating
information in the SAM does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute
for a properly executed contractual document.
(g)(1)(i)If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, "doing business as" name, or division
name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the
contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change -of -name
agreements in AMS Procurement Guidance, the Contractor must provide the responsible RECO a
minimum of one business day's written notification of its intention to:
(A) Change the name in the SAM database;
(B) Comply with the requirements of AMS regarding novation and change -of -name agreements; and
(C) Agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the RECO. The Contractor must
13
Federal Aviation Administration
Standard Space Lease, 04/2022
OMB CONTROL NO. 2120-0595
provide the RECO notification and sufficient documentation to support the legally changed name
and then execute the appropriate supplemental agreement provided by the RECO to document the
name change.
(ii) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (g)(1)(i) of this clause, or
fails to perform the agreement at paragraph (g)(1)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in the absence of a
properly executed novation or change -of -name agreement/supplemental agreement, the SAM
information that shows the Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the contract will
be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the "Suspension of Payment"
paragraph of the Payment by Electronic Funds Transfer- System for Award Management clause of
this contract.
(2) The Contractor must not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual payments, as
appropriate, in the SAM record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims.
Assignees must be separately registered in the SAM database. Information provided to the
Contractor's SAM record that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate
recipient other than that Contractor will be considered to be incorrect information within the
meaning of the "Suspension of payment" paragraph of the Payment by Electronic Funds Transfer -
System for Award Management clause of this contract.
(h) Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via the
internet at http://www.sam.gov or by calling 866-606-8220.
PRESCRIPTION: Insert in all leases or easements or supplemental agreements to existing leases or
easements unless the FAA has granted a waiver from the use of SAM. Must be used in conjunction
with 6.4.2-1 Payment by Electronic Funds Transfer- System for Award Management. NOTE: If the
FAA has granted a waiver from the use of SAM, use clause 6.4.1 "System for Award Management
(SAM Waiver)" and REMOVE this clause.
40. Payment by Electronic Funds Transfer- System for Award Management (09/2021) 6.4.2-1
A. Method of payment.
i. Unless waived by the RECO, all payments by the Government under this contract will be made by
electronic funds transfer (EFT), except as provided in paragraph (A)(ii) of this clause. As used in this
clause, the term "EFT" refers to the funds transfer and may also include the payment information
transfer.
ii. In the event the Government is unable to release one or more payments by EFT, the Contractor
agrees to either:
a. Accept payment by check or some other mutually agreeable method of payment; or
b. Request the Government to extend the payment due date until such time as the Government can
make payment by EFT (but see paragraph (D) of this clause).
B. Contractor's EFT information. The Government will make payment to the Contractor using the
EFT information contained in the System for Award Management (SAM) database. In the event that
the EFT information changes, the Contractor must be responsible for providing the updated
information to the SAM database.
C. Mechanisms for EFT payment. The Government may make payment by EFT through either the
Automated Clearing House (ACH) network, subject to the rules of the National Automated Clearing
House Association, or the Fedwire Transfer System. The rules governing Federal payments through
the ACH are contained in 31 CFR Part 210.
14
Federal Aviation Administration
Standard Space Lease, 04/2022
OMB CONTROL NO. 2120-0595
D. Suspension of payment. If the Contractor's EFT information in the SAM database is incorrect,
then the Government need not make payment to the Contractor under this contract until correct EFT
information is entered into the SAM database; and any invoice or contract financing request will be
deemed not to be a proper invoice for the purpose of prompt payment under this contract. The
prompt payment terms of the contract regarding notice of an improper invoice and delays in accrual
of interest penalties apply.
E. Liability for uncompleted or erroneous transfers.
i. If an uncompleted or erroneous transfer occurs because the Government used the Contractor's EFT
information incorrectly, the Government remains responsible for
a. Making a correct payment;
b. Paying any prompt payment penalty due; and
c. Recovering any erroneously directed funds.
ii. If an uncompleted or erroneous transfer occurs because the Contractor's EFT information was
incorrect, or was revised within 30 days of Government release of the EFT payment transaction
instruction to the Federal Reserve System, and
a. If the funds are no longer under the control of the payment office, the Government is deemed to
have made payment and the Contractor is responsible for recovery of any erroneously directed
funds; or
b. If the funds remain under the control of the payment office, the Government will not make
payment, and the provisions of paragraph (D) of this clause will apply.
F. EFT and prompt payment. A payment will be deemed to have been made in a timely manner in
accordance with the prompt payment terms of this contract if, in the EFT payment transaction
instruction released to the Federal Reserve System, the date specified for settlement of the payment
is on or before the prompt payment due date, provided the specified payment date is a valid date
under the rules of the Federal Reserve System.
G. EFT and assignment of claims. If the Contractor assigns the proceeds of this contract as provided
for in the assignment of claims terms of this contract, the Contractor must require as a condition of
any such assignment, that the assignee must register separately in the SAM database and will be paid
by EFT in accordance with the terms of this clause. Notwithstanding any other requirement of this
contract, payment to an ultimate recipient other than the Contractor, or a financial institution
properly recognized under an assignment of claims, is not permitted. In all respects, the requirements
of this clause will apply to the assignee as if it were the Contractor. EFT information that shows the
ultimate recipient of the transfer to be other than the Contractor, in the absence of a proper
assignment of claims acceptable to the Government, is incorrect EFT information within the
meaning of paragraph (d) of this clause.
H. Liability for change of EFT information by financial agent. The Government is not liable for
errors resulting from changes to EFT information made by the Contractor's financial agent.
I. Payment information. The payment or disbursing office will forward to the Contractor available
payment information that is suitable for transmission as of the date of release of the EFT instruction
to the Federal Reserve System. The Government may request the Contractor to designate a desired
format and method(s) for delivery of payment information from a list of formats and methods the
payment office is capable of executing. However, the Government does not guarantee that any
particular format or method of delivery is available at any particular payment office and retains the
latitude to use the format and delivery method most convenient to the Government. If the
Government makes payment by check in accordance with paragraph (A) of this clause, the
15

This Ordinance authorizes the City Manager to accept a Volunteer Fire Assistance (VFA) Grant
from the Alaska Division of Forestry in the amount of $8,602.97 and appropriates the awarded
funds for the purchase of wildland and firefighting equipment for the Kenai Fire Department.
The Alaska Division of Forestry administers the Volunteer Fire Assistance Grant Program to assist
fire departments in enhancing wildland firefighting capabilities and improving preparedness for
wildfire incidents. The City of Kenai Fire Department successfully applied for and received this
grant funding to support operational readiness and firefighter safety.
Funds awarded through this grant will be utilized to purchase wildland firefighting and related
operational equipment that will improve the department's ability to safely and effectively respond
to vegetation fires, interface fires, and other emergency incidents requiring specialized wildland
firefighting resources.
Acceptance of this grant provides a direct financial benefit to the City by allowing the department

protecting community infrastructure, residents, visitors, and surrounding natural resources.
The proposed ordinance authorizes acceptance of the grant and appropriates the funds into the
General Fund for the intended equipment purchases. There is no adverse fiscal impact to the City
associated with accepting this funding.

TO: Mayor Knackstedt and Council Members
THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM: Dave Swarner, Finance Director
DATE: May 12, 2026
SUBJECT: Ordinance 3523-2026 - Adopting the Annual Budget, Salary Schedule and
Employee Classification Plan for the Fiscal Year Commencing July 1, 2026
and Ending June 30, 2027 and Committing $4,584,359 of General Fund,
Fund Balance for Future Capital Improvements.
The purpose of this memo is to adopt the Annual Budget, Salary Schedule and Employee
Classification Plan for the year commencing July 1, 2026 and ending June 30, 2027.
The City Council held the following work sessions relating to the budget:
January 7, 2026 to develop the FY 2027 Budget Goals. The Council established the FY 2027
Budget Goals with the approval of Resolution 2026-03 January 21, 2026.
January 7, 2026 to discuss the Fiscal year 2027 — 2031 Capital Plan. The Capital Plan was
approved by Resolution 2026-02 on January 21, 2026.
May 2, 2026 for the Administration to present the draft FY 2027 Annual Budget including the
Salary Schedule and Employee Classification Plan. The draft budget document is available for
public review on the City's website on the Finance Department page.
May 22, 2026. Pursuant to KMC 7.25 010(f), notice of the June 3, 2026 public hearing on the
proposed FY2027 Budget was published in the Peninsula Clarion.
Since the last budget work session some adjustments were made to the General Fund budget
for a total decrease of $229,671 in General Fund expenditures, changes include a $4,800
increase in professional services for the council employee evaluation process (Human
Resources), $15,600 increase in professional services related to fees for Online Sales Tax
collection services (Finance), $200,000 decrease in transfers to capital projects to remove the
Comprehensive Plan (Non -Departmental), and $50,071 decrease in contributions to the Senior
Citizen Fund (Non -Departmental).
An increase of $6,500 in the Personal Use Fishery Fund expenditures due to an increase in the
contract amount for toilet and dumpster rentals.
A $100,000 increase in the Municipal Roadway Capital Project Fund for gravel road
improvements and a $200,000 decrease in the Kenai City Hall Improvement Capital Project Fund
to remove the Comprehensive Plan.
Page 154
Page 155
The FY2027 budget increases the commitment of General Fund dollars for future capital projects
from $4,041,458 to $4,584,359 as a result of updates made to both capital project planning and
operating expenditures during the budget review process. The change is not a direct dollar -for -
dollar adjustment because the final commitment amount also reflects the application of fund
balance stabilization calculations and other balancing adjustments necessary to maintain the
City's financial policies and long-term fiscal stability.

SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3525-2026 - Enacting Kenai Municipal Code Section
14.20.246 - Tent Camping on Private Property, Amending Kenai Municipal
Code Section 14.20.320 - Definitions to Provide Definitions Regarding Tents
and Campgrounds, Amending Kenai Municipal Code Section 13.10.060 -
Sanitary Facilities for Camping on Private Property, and Amending Kenai
Municipal Code Section 14.22 - Land Use Table.
In summer 2025, the City received inquiries from residents regarding activities on a parcel located
on Third Street. Reports indicated that tents, portable restrooms, and a dumpster had been placed
on the property.
The City has periodically received other complaints from residents in the VIP neighborhood
regarding camping on private property associated with dipnet activity.
On October 1, 2025, the Kenai City Council directed the Planning & Zoning Commission to
explore the issue of tent camping within the City. The Planning & Zoning Commission then held
public work sessions on November 12, 2025, and January 28, 2026 exploring the issue of tent
camping within the City.
Throughout these discussions, it was recommended that Kenai Municipal Code be modified to
include definitions and guidelines for tent camping on private property within the City. The
proposed ordinance documents proposes changes brought forward by members of the public
and members of the Planning & Zoning Commission.
Thank you for your consideration.

210 Fidalgo Ave, Kenai, AK 99611-7794 1907.283.75351 www.kenai.city
TO: Mayor Knackstedt and Council Members
THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM: Kevin Buettner, Planning Director
DATE: May 11, 2026
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3526-2026- Amending the Official Zoning Map by Rezoning
Parcel 04106318, with a Physical Address of 6575 Kenai Spur Highway, from
a Split Zone of Rural Residential (RR) and General Commercial (CG) to the
Zoning District of General Commercial (CG).
In 2025, the property owner submitted for a replat combining Lots 2, 3, 14, & 15 of Beaver Creek
Alaska Subdivision Amended, which has created a split zone on the now singular parcel. The
replat was recommended for approval through Resolution PZ2025-21 on June 25, 2025, with the
condition that if the Borough approved the replat, the zoning would need to be addressed. The
southern half of the lot is zoned as Rural Residential (RR) while the northern half is zoned General
Commercial (CG).
The purpose of the rezone is to assign one zoning district to the newly replatted parcel. This
rezone will reduce ambiguity and confusion, ensuring clarity to its purpose and allowable
development. As there are no provisions to determine which zone takes precedence, it is
determined this rezone would eliminate any confusion in the event of conflicting guidance. There
will be no non -conforming uses created by the completion of this rezone, it will simply enlarge the
adjacent zoning district.
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.
The current property use is a 32-space recreational vehicle park, allowable with a Conditional Use
Permit (CUP) pursuant to the Land Use Table in KMC 14.22.010.
Thank you for your consideration.

WHEREAS, the City's Land Management Plan identifies City -owned property described as That Portion
of Govt Lot 10 Lying Southwest of Bridge Access Rd & Lying North & Northwest & Northeast of USS

is currently under a long-term lease; and,
WHEREAS, RABUF, LLC is the current lessee of the subject property and two City -owned parcels to the
south; and,
WHEREAS, RABUF, LLC also owns adjacent KPB Parcel No. 04901123; and,
WHEREAS, RABUF, LLC has approached the City regarding development of water and wastewater utility
connections to support existing and planned development; and,

of tidal wetlands, a shallow water table, and the location of an anadromous stream; and,
WHEREAS, RABUF, LLC has requested a property exchange in which approximately 7,164 square feet
of KPB Parcel No. 04901123 would be exchanged for approximately 7,682 square feet of the City -owned
KPB Parcel 04901131 (Exhibit A) to facilitate utility access and improve property configuration in the

210 Fidalgo Ave, Kenai, AK 99611-7794 1907.283.75351 www.kenai.city
TO: Mayor Knackstedt and Council Members
THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM: Kevin Buettner, Planning Director
DATE: May 12, 2026
SUBJECT: Ordinance 3527-2026 — Determining That a Portion of the Real Property
Described as That Portion of Govt Lot 10 Lying Southwest of Bridge Access
Rd & Lying North & Northwest & Northeast of USS 4563 Amended, City -
Owned Land is Not Needed for a Public Purpose and Authorizing the Sale of
the Property to RABUF, LLC.
In 2025, RABUF, LLC, approached the City inquiring about the possibility of establishing utility
connections. Initial discussions with the Planning & Zoning and Public Works Departments
centered on the connection of the processing plant on Kenai Peninsula Borough (KPB) Parcel
04901131 to the utility mains along Bridge Access Road. These connections could be made
through the existing lease lot or through the adjacent parcel, 04901123, which led to the public
right-of-way at Ervin Circle, a platted right-of-way.
Connection to utilities utilizing the leased parcel was determined to be infeasible due to the
presence of tidal wetlands, a shallow water table, and an anadromous stream. Further
discussions with the City resulted in a determination that running a service line within the public
right-of-way is not allowed by Kenai Municipal Code (KMC). KMC 17.05.010(b) and KMC
17.15.010(b) state that water and sewer connections must be made to a main abutting the
property lot line. It was also noted at this time that the right-of-way for Ervin Circle was not
complete, as a portion of the cul-de-sac at the southern terminus was incomplete and would
require a portion of land from RABUF, LLC's owned parcel, 04901123.
The City and RABUF, LLC continued discussions, and it was determined that a property exchange
may be in the best interest of both parties, as it would allow for the completion of a right -of way in
the Working Waterfront zoning district, which could spur future commercial development, and the
property exchange would also allow RABUF, LLC to access the utility mains along Bridge Access
Road, through a platted right-of-way.
Preliminary calculations have determined that RABUF, LLC would exchange approximately 7,164
square feet of their owned parcel to complete the cul-de-sac on Ervin Circle for approximately
7,682 square feet of the City -owned parcel, 01901131, to establish a 30 foot frontage along Bridge
Access Road to access utility mains.
Page 174
Page 175
This exchange would also require the vacation of a portion of Ervin Circle's right-of-way at the
northern junction with Bridge Access Road, which is 155 feet. The standard right-of-way in the
City is typically 60 feet, with exceptions for major roads and section lines. This process is done
concurrently with the platting process and would require separate action from Council at a later
date, once the KPB Planning Commission makes its determination on the preliminary plat. This
vacated area totals approximately 8,665 square feet.
If approved, the total area of all land exchanged from the City to RABUF, LLC would be 16,346
square feet. The total area of land exchanged from RABUF, LLC to the City would be 7,614 square
feet. This results in a difference of 8,732 square feet with RABUF, LLC receiving more than the
City.
The City's consultant, CBRE, completed an appraisal in September 2025, establishing a fair
market value of $2.15 per square foot for KPB Parcel 04901131, which was used to determine
the lease rate. This appraisal also complies with Kenai Municipal Code 22.05.100 — Sale
Procedures, which required an independent appraisal to determine the minimum sale price.
RABUF, LLC has agreed to pay the City the fair market value of the approximate 8,732 square
foot difference between the exchanged properties, calculated as approximately $18,773.80.
The approximate cost of the subdivision is $9,000. Funding for the subdivision is available within
the FY 2026 budget. If approved, the cost share for the City would be approximately $4,500. If
the City's cost share amount is credited towards the RABUF, LLC purchase price, the City would
net a total of $14,273.80.
Also, if approved, RABUF, LLC has sought permission to proceed with land clearing and site prep
work prior to the subdivision. The Administration has no objection to this request, provided a right-
of-way permit is obtained from the Public Works Department for any work done within the existing
Ervin Circle right-of-way. Furthermore, the Administration's non -objection is predicated on
RABUF, LLC assuming all risk for any work completed. The City has also requested notification
of any tree clearing work to be done on KPB Parcel 04901131, which is currently leased by
RABUF, LLC.
Thank you for your consideration.

challenges and stating the rezoning would reduce development barriers and provide certainty of use; he

services; he added that suburban residential zoning allows smaller lots and higher density than Rural
Residential 1, making development more economical; and requested Commission support.

During April, the Parks Department began preparing fields for the spring sports season. Due to
colder March temperatures, frozen ground and excess moisture delayed field drying, resulting in
several games being rescheduled because of wet field conditions.
On April 25th, Parks and Recreation hosted a community clean-up day. The department
provided yellow bags, trash grabbers, gloves, water, and refreshments for volunteers. A total of
25 volunteers participated, with additional residents cleaning their neighborhoods independently
and picking up supplies throughout the following week. (See attached photos.) Continued
volunteer support is needed for upcoming community events and beautification projects. The of
Kenai will host a community planting day in May, followed by the Kenai Kite Festival in early
June. (See attached flyers.)
The Kenai Recreation Center currently has two open Recreation Attendant positions, with
interviews planned in May. The Recreation Center also experienced high attendance during
poor weather conditions, demonstrating the importance of the facility as a year-round indoor
community space.

April was a vibrant and active month at the Center! We welcomed spring with a wonderful Easter
luncheon, highlighted by a beautiful choir concert that brought everyone together in celebration.
Our monthly craft had participants painting birdhouses, adding a creative and colorful touch to the
season. Both the caregiver support group and the grief support group continued to see consistent
attendance, offering connection and support to those who attend.
Page 215
In a special early -morning effort, volunteers were at the Center at 4:00 a.m. to serve high school
a Prom breakfast —an event that was greatly appreciated by the community.
The Center is also coming alive with greenery, as we begin preparing plants for our planters and flower
pots. It's exciting to see new growth both inside and out as we head into the warmer months.

Citywide Streetlight Assessment
A roadmap for safer, more consistent, and more efficient nighttime lighting

PURPOSE
Provide Kenai with a clear, actionable framework for managing the City's
lighting system strategically and sustainably — clarifying what the City
owns, how it's performing, and where investment delivers the greatest
benefit per dollar.

0 3 1 METHODOLOGY
How the assessment was built
Field -verified data flowed into Evari's web -based GIS platform (EvariLUX), where a citywide photometric model was built and tested against IES RP-8
roadway lighting criteria.
Field Inventory
Sub -meter GPS, up to 4 photos per asset,
and verification of fixture type, wattage,
mounting, condition, wiring, and
photocell across 600+ lights.
GIS Integration
All field data integrated into EvariLUX
with full City access; geodata base
delivered for long-term in-house use and
billing reconciliation.
Photometric Modeling
Spot and continuous illuminance
readings combined with IES files to
model how light is distributed across
every Kenai street and public space.
Analysis &
Prioritization
Performance gaps, cost modeling, and
weighted criteria (safety, schools,
reliability, energy) feed a tiered, ranked
project list.

04 1 EXISTING CONDITIONS
Key findings — what the data shows
Fragmented network
City, HEA, and DOT&PF each follow different standards
— producing a patchwork of fixture types, wattages,
and wiring practices.
Under- and over -lit
Downtown, school zones, and major intersections fall
below RP-8 expectations; older HIPS corridors are
overlit and glaring.
Direct -bury wiring
488 of 610 lights are underground -fed; nearly all
maintenance issues trace to grounding shorts on legacy
direct -bury cable.
Aging LED stock
Most fixtures are LED from 2009-2010 — now showing
flicker, color inconsistency, and driverfailures.
Lingering HPS fixtures
67 high -pressure -sodium units (plus 1 mercury-vapor)
drive -13% of City energy cost and create glare and
skyglow.
Billing discrepancies
18 fixtures appear in billing records but were not found
in the field — opportunity to reduce unnecessary
charges.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THE LIGHTING SYSTEM
Wildlife collisions cluster near the Kenai River, Bridge Access Rd., and Kalifornsky Beach
Rd. — 68% occur where illumination is below 0.1 fc.
School transportation is a leading community priority: 28%of bus stops are not within
100 ft of any streetlight.
Personal safety is driven less by crime than by long winter nights, uneven spacing, and
dark gaps that erode walking comfort.

THE OPPORTUNITY
When the City can connect more than four lights per meter, City -
owned becomes the lower -cost option.
Where pole spacing makes that impractical, HEA-owned remains the
more cost-effective model.
Targeted HEA -) City ownership transitions, HPS-to-LED conversion,
and billing reconciliation are the highest -return cost levers.

Dark -sky & environmental stewardship
Kenai's location — bordered by the Kenai River, wetlands, and wildlife habitat — makes responsible light management both an ecological priority and a safety asset.
Minimize Skyglow
Zero-uplight (UO) luminaires; lower output in
residential and open -space zones.
Limit Light Trespass
Lower mounting heights and tailored
distributions in residential zones to keep light out
of yards and windows.
Reduce Glare
Full -cutoff optics, shielding near sensitive zones,
age -adjusted veiling luminance limits.
Preserve Community
Character
Subdued in neighborhoods, brighter downtown
— lighting that reinforces, rather than overrides,
land -use identity.
Protect Wildlife & Habitat
Lower CCT (2200-2700K) near the Kenai River
and wetlands; improved surround ratio at wildlife
corridors.
Targeted, Not Blanket
Illuminate conflict zones, crossings, and trail
junctions — not entire corridors.

THE PATH FORWARD
Immediate next steps
Onboard the data Onboard the field -verified inventory, metering records, and ownership assignments as the single source
of truth for finance, maintenance, and capital planning.
Embed standards in maintenance Apply Design Guide standards through KECO and the routine maintenance cycle — every replacement
contributes to a more uniform system.
Coordinate with the school district Align 2026-2027 bus stop locations with existing illumination, and add HEA-owned lights where critical
gaps remain.
Launch Tier 2 capital projects Pursue HSIP/SS4A funding for school walk -sheds, top intersections, and wildlife mitigation; rewire
opportunistically when trenching is already underway.
Move toward citywide Roll the Design Guide into all City -led, developer -driven, and roadway -improvement work so the system
standardization evolves cohesively.

DATE: May 14, 2026
SUBJECT: Ordinance 3520-2026 Requested Amendments
This memo requests two amendments to Ordinance 3520-2026. The first amendment is to set a
specific lot size for the installation of private water wells and septic systems, while reserving the
ability of the City to allow for variations, if engineered plans are recommended for approval by the
Planning & Zoning Commission and approved by City Council during the subdivision platting
process.
The following amendment is respectfully requested:
Motion 1:
Amend Ordinance 3520-2026, Section 4, Subsection (d), by deleting the existing paragraph
(5) in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
5) In subdivisions where septic tanks or other individual sewaae disposal devices are to be
installed, the size of all lots included in such subdivision must be a minimum of forty thousand
(40,000) square feet. If engineered plans are developed at the time of subdivision and depict
where all wells and septic systems are to be placed and are sufficient to meet Alaska
Department of Environmental Conservation requirements, smaller lots may be approved.
The second amendment is to add clarifying language regarding the type of subdivision that two
subsections of code refer to. This is intended to reduce confusion of developers and landowners.
The following amendment is respectfully requested:
Motion 2:
Amend Ordinance No. 3520-2026, Section 5, by deleting existing paragraph (e) in its entirety
and replacing with the following:
e) In subdivisions of ten (10) or more lots. or where ten or more minimum sized lots could
be created, an approved water supply must be provided for each lot within the subdivision
area. All public water mains must be extended and constructed in accordance with regulations
and requirements of, and under the supervision of the Public Works Director's office or their
equivalent under contract by the City if such water mains are available for connection by the
said subdivider and are located within one thousand five hundred (1.500) feet of the
subdivider's nearest lot line.
Thank you for your consideration.

SUBJECT: Ordinance 3523-2026 Requested Amendment to Draft FY2027 Budget
Document
This memo requests an amendment to the FY2027 Draft Budget Document related to support
for continued public access and operation of the Kenai High School pool.
The Peninsula Piranha Swim Team has requested a grant in the amount of $46,401.84 to offset
the estimated annual utility costs associated with operation of the pool facility via the attached
email. This estimated utility cost was provided by the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District
and includes an anticipated 6% increase for the upcoming fiscal year.
The Peninsula Piranha Swim Team has indicated that operation of the pool would include regular
opportunities for public recreational use. Planned community access includes lap swim sessions,
open swim times, and pool rental opportunities. The organization anticipates charging nominal
fees for lap and open swim participation while offering discounted rental rates for City of Kenai
residents. In addition, the organization has expressed interest in exploring future collaboration
opportunities with the Kenai Senior Center to provide pool access for senior residents.
The following changes to the FY2027 draft budget document referenced in Ordinance 3523-2025
are respectfully requested:
Motion
Amend the Draft FY2027 Budget Document as follows:
General Fund — Legislative, page 85
Increase the Grants to Agencies section from $21,100 to $67,402
General Fund - Legislative, page 86
Add Peninsula Piranha Swim Team to the 5047 Grants to Agencies list in the amount
of $46,402 for a total of $67,402
For an overall increase of $46,402 to the FY2027 Budget
Thank you for your consideration.

Hello Terry -
Thank you again for meeting with the Peninsula Piranha Swim Team's executive board today, we truly appreciate your
time.
As we continue to move forward with plans to hopefully take over operations of the Kenai Central High School Pool,
PPST would like to formally request a grant from the City of Kenai. This money would be used to pay the operational
utility costs, estimated by KPBSD to be in the amount of 46,401.84 (this figure includes an estimated 6% increase for the
next year).
In exchange, we want to assure the city council and residents of the City of Kenai that the pool will have frequent
opportunities for recreational community use. This includes, but is not limited to, lap swim sessions, open swim times,
and pool rental opportunities. At this time we plan to charge a nominal fee for all lap and open swim participants, but
would offer discounted pool rental rates for City of Kenai residents. We are also open to looking into any future
collaboration with the Kenai Senior Center to provide some pool time for the senior residents of Kenai.
We are happy to answer any questions or provide any further information if needed.
Again, thank you for your time and consideration,
PPST Board

DATE: May 20, 2026
SUBJECT: Bluff Erosion Mitigation Design — PO Increase
The Public Works Department recommends an increase of $100,000 to the Bluff Erosion Project
with HDR, Inc. (HDR) to perform expedited design services to mitigate stormwater erosion and
associated issues as part of the bluff project. The existing contract is for $1,084,674.63 to
complete design and construction administration associated with the bluff erosion project and is
still active completing closeout of the construction project and working on design of the access to
the maintenance path. The project is being funded through State of Alaska grants for the bluff
erosion project and the proposed work has been pre -approved for inclusion.
This increase is for a site visit and associated design survey to develop a cost estimate for
completing designs to bid for construction of improvements and repairs associated with
stormwater erosion of the bluff. Significant erosion occurred on Mission Avenue this breakup after
stormwater from the surrounding area concentrated on Mission and overtopped the bluff.
Proposed improvements include installation of new stormwater infrastructure to manage
stormwater prior to reaching the bluff, abandonment of a water main along Mission and rerouting
a water service on this main, relocation of a pole and camera for beluga viewing and stabilization
of the recent erosion on Mission. Relocation of the pole and camera would need to be paid for
with City funds. A future PO increase will be brought to City Council for costs to complete this
expedited design in an effort to construct improvements prior to next winter.
The Public Works Department recommends approving this increase to complete this work.
Thank you for your consideration and I am available for any questions.
