MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Knackstedt and Council Members
THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM: Lee Frey, Public Works Director
DATE: June 9, 2026
SUBJECT: Ordinance 3531-2026 - Increasing Estimated Revenues and Appropriations
in the Kenai Recreation Center Improvements Capital Project Fund and
Accepting a Grant from the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant
Program to Replace Lighting in the Kenai Recreation Center.
The memo requests Council's approval to accept a grant from the Energy Efficiency and
Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program to replace lighting at the Kenai Recreation Center
with energy efficient LED lighting.
The City applied for a grant to this program to replace older street light fixtures with LED fixtures
for energy efficiency. After completion of the street lighting assessment, it was determined that
the majority of the City owned light fixtures have already been converted and these funds could
be more useful somewhere else. The Kenai Recreation Center was determined to be the best
use of funds as there is regular use at this facility during the year and lighting replacement could
have a significant effect on electrical use. The high bay lighting in the gym and racquetball courts
would be the main goal as they are in poor condition and difficult to work on.
The City does not have any additional funding appropriated for this project. We will bid out work
with alternates to maximize grant funding, but may also request additional funding to complete
needed upgrades pas the $75,270 available through the grant.
The Public Works Department recommends accepting the grant from the EECBG Program to
complete lighting upgrades at the Kenai Recreation Center.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Knackstedt and Council Members
FROM: Terry Eubank, City Manager
DATE: June 8, 2026
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3532-2026 - Determining that the Proposed Subdivision of
Dena'ina Point Estates Serves Other City Purposes, Authorizing the City to
Share in Subdivision Costs, and Increasing Estimated Revenues and
Appropriations in the General Fund — Lands Administration in the Amount of
$54,219.
The proposed ordinance would determine that the subdivision of Dena'ina Point Estates serves
other City purposes and authorize the City to share in subdivision costs in an amount not to
exceed $54,219.
Kenai Municipal Code 22.05.025(c) requires applicants proposing a subdivision to bear all
subdivision -related costs unless the City Council determines that the subdivision serves other City
purposes. If such a determination is made, the Council may, in its sole discretion, share in
subdivision costs in an amount it determines is reasonable given the benefit to the City.
The proposed subdivision would reconfigure City -owned property into developable lots and
establish the rights -of -way and utility corridors necessary to support future development, including
residential development opportunities. The subdivision advances the City's land management
objectives, supports additional housing opportunities, and increases the utility, marketability, and
development potential of City -owned land.
The proposed cost sharing is contemplated in a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between
the City and Tidewater, LLC, which is being presented for Council consideration under separate
resolution. The MOU establishes a framework for replatting and potential future development but
does not obligate either party to enter into a lease, sale, or other transaction.
The estimated subdivision cost is $82,150. The proposed City contribution is limited to $54,219,
with the Developer responsible for the remaining subdivision costs and all other project -related
costs unless otherwise approved by the City Council.
Staff recommends that the Council determine the subdivision serves other City purposes and
authorize cost sharing in an amount not to exceed $54,219.
Your consideration is appreciated.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Knackstedt and Council Members
THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM: Lee Frey, Public Works Director
DATE: June 30, 2026
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3533-2026 - Increasing Estimated Revenues and
Appropriations for the Senior Center Canopy Roof Replacement and
Authorizing a Contract Award for the Animal Control and Senior Center
Canopy Roof Replacement Project.
This memo requests Council's approval to appropriate additional funds and award a contract for
the Animal Control and Senior Center Canopy Roof Replacement to Orion Construction Inc. The
project was released for bidding and one bid was received. Bids received are as follows:
Contractor Cost
Orion Construction Inc. $396,370
Orion Construction Inc. was the lowest bid for the project with a cost of $396,370 for the project
with the Animal Control roof costing $273,470 and the Senior Center roof costing $122,900. The
project consists of reroofing the flat roof portion of the Animal Control building and the flat roof
canopy of the Senior Center. While the canopy roof at the Senior Center is significantly smaller,
there is additional work on this portion of the project increasing the cost which includes replacing
plywood, adding heat trace and replacing light fixtures. The costs for the project were determined
to be reasonable.
$50,000 was originally appropriated for the Senior Center roof project in FY25 and approximately
$30,000 remains after design services were completed. We recommend appropriating an
additional $110,000 to award and complete this work. The additional funds will cover project
management and provide contingency for any issues that may be discovered during the
construction project.
Appropriation of the additional funding and award of this agreement is in the best interest of the
City. A double reading of the Ordinance is requested to be able to award the entire contract at
this meeting in July. Otherwise, the additional funding and award of the Senior Center Canopy
would be pushed to the first meeting in August. Council's approval is respectfully requested.

A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A MEMORANDUM OF
UNDERSTANDING WITH TIDEWATER, LLC REGARDING THE PLANNING, REPLATTING, AND
POTENTIAL PHASED DEVELOPMENT OF DENA'INA POINT ESTATES SUBDIVISION.
WHEREAS, the City of Kenai owns approximately 80.438 acres within Dena'ina Point Estates
Subdivision, including approximately 53.56 acres across thirteen parcels and approximately 26.878 acres
of associated rights -of -way; and,
WHEREAS, Tidewater, LLC owns and has contracts to acquire additional property within and adjacent
to Dena'ina Point Estates Subdivision and has proposed a phased mixed -use development that may
include subdivision and replatting activities, roadway and utility infrastructure improvements, residential
development, and mixed -use commercial development; and,
WHEREAS, the City has determined that portions of Dena'ina Point Estates, as currently configured, are
not conducive to efficient development due to existing lot configurations, diverse ownership of property,
roadway layouts, and infrastructure limitations; and,
WHEREAS, the proposed replat is intended to create developable lots, facilitate roadway and utility
infrastructure improvements, support housing development, encourage mixed -use development
opportunities, and increase the long-term value and usability of City -owned land; and,
WHEREAS, the proposed Memorandum of Understanding establishes a cooperative framework between
the City and Tidewater, LLC regarding planning, replatting, phased development, and future lease and
sale opportunities associated with Dena'ina Point Estates; and,
WHEREAS, the Memorandum of Understanding is intended to establish the parties' understanding
regarding the project and, except as expressly provided therein, does not obligate the City to enter into
any future lease, sale, conveyance, rezoning, Subdivision Installation Agreement, land exchange, or
other transaction, all of which remain subject to separate agreements and any approvals required by law;
and,
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that granting the Development -Related First Right of Refusal
contemplated by the Memorandum of Understanding serves other City purposes by promoting
coordinated development, facilitating long-term infrastructure planning, encouraging private investment
in housing and mixed -use development, and supporting the efficient use and long-term value of City -
owned property; and
WHEREAS, execution of the Memorandum of Understanding, including the Development -Related First
Right of Refusal, is in the best interest of the City and will facilitate coordinated planning and evaluation
of future development opportunities within Dena'ina Point Estates.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA:

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Knackstedt and Council Members
FROM: Terry Eubank, City Manager
DATE: June 23, 2026
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2026-51 - Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a
Memorandum of Understanding with Tidewater, LLC Regarding the
Planning, Replatting, and Potential Phased Development of Dena'ina Point
Estates Subdivision.
This resolution authorizes the City Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
with Tidewater, LLC, the current lease applicant for Dena'ina Point Estates.
The MOU establishes a cooperative framework for evaluating and planning a long-term, phased
mixed -use development. The concept includes roadway and utility infrastructure improvements,
residential development, and future commercial opportunities. The MOU also includes a
Development -Related First Right of Refusal (FROR) for certain City -owned property within the
project area.
This resolution is related to Ordinance No. 3532-2026, which would appropriate up to $54,219
toward subdivision and replat costs. The ordinance addresses the City's financial participation in
the replat process, while the MOU establishes the framework for coordination and future planning.
Approval of this resolution does not authorize any future lease, land exchange, conveyance,
rezoning, or construction activity.
The City's General Fund land management practices are governed by Title 22 of the Kenai
Municipal Code. Title 22 was repealed and reenacted in 2019 to encourage responsible growth
and development, require development of leased property, and discourage land speculation. In
general, City -owned land is managed for commercial and development purposes, and the leasing
provisions of Title 22 are structured for projects involving permanent vertical improvements, such
as buildings and related site development.
Dena'ina Point Estates presents a unique development context, as development is dependent on
subdivision installation and horizontal infrastructure improvements rather than immediate vertical
construction. However, the lease process remains the most appropriate mechanism to initiate a
competitive disposal process while ensuring development occurs before any transfer of City -
owned property.
Dena'ina Point Estates is a long-standing subdivision, originally platted in 1987 as a subdivision
with 29 large tracts intended for residential use with infrastructure development. Over time, the
area developed into a mixed ownership pattern with unconstructed roads and limited
infrastructure, which has constrained development potential.
The City currently owns approximately 80 acres within the subdivision, including approximately
54 acres across 13 parcels and approximately 26 acres in rights -of -way. Tidewater, LLC currently
owns approximately 7 acres and is under contract to acquire additional private parcels totaling 53
acres within the proposed development area. The proposed replat would reorganize the
subdivision to establish a functional road layout, rights -of -way, utility infrastructure, and
developable parcels to support future housing and mixed -use development. The concept includes
approximately 46 multi -family lots, 128 single-family residential lots, and 30 lots for commercial
development.
The MOU outlines a phased approach. The parties would first complete a preliminary plat for the
full subdivision, followed by a Subdivision Installation Agreement for Phase I with a term of up to
two years. Additional phases may be considered through future Subdivision Installation
Agreements, subject to City Council approval and any required code waivers or amendments,
and could extend up to ten years.
Following completion of platting and infrastructure requirements, the MOU contemplates a
potential land exchange designed to ensure the City retains land acreage comparable to its
current holdings within the project area. Future agreements may include performance security,
such as a deed of trust or other security acceptable to the City, and may allow for phased release
of lots as improvements are completed and accepted.
The FROR is intended to support Tidewater, LLC's long-term investment in subdivision planning
and infrastructure development. In exchange, Tidewater, LLC commits to acquiring the remaining
private property, participating in infrastructure planning, and supporting the long-term
development of Dena'ina Point Estates. The FROR does not convey ownership or guarantee
future leases. If another party seeks to lease eligible City -owned property, Tidewater, LLC would
have 60 days to exercise the FROR and 90 days to execute a lease or other document under the
terms of the MOU.
The MOU does not approve or obligate any future development action. All future leases, land
exchanges, conveyances, sales, rezoning actions, plat approvals, or code amendments will
require separate City Council consideration and approval. The City also retains full discretion over
all legislative, quasi-judicial, and discretionary decisions.
No additional expenditures are authorized beyond those already contemplated for the replat effort.
Subject to approval of Ordinance No. 3532-2026, the City's contribution toward replat costs is
limited to $54,219. Any future project costs will require separate Council authorization.
The MOU provides a framework to address longstanding barriers that have limited development
of Dena'ina Point Estates for nearly 40 years. These barriers include mixed ownership and
inefficient lot layouts that increase development costs associated with installation of roads and
utilities. The MOU also represents a public private partnership with Tidewater, LLC to mutually
develop both private and public lands in a manner that supports the City's housing needs,
encourages responsible growth, and increases the long-term value and utility of the area.
Your consideration is appreciated.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP FOR DENA'INA POINT ESTATES
The CITY OF KENAI ("City") whose address is 210 Fidalgo Avenue, Kenai, Alaska 99611
and TIDEWATER, LLC. ("Developer") whose address is 38334 Lakewood Road, Sterling Alaska,
99672, hereby enter into the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) as follows:
1. PURPOSE
A. The purpose of this MOU is to establish a framework for cooperation between the
City and the Developer regarding the planning, replatting, and potential phased
development of property within Dena'ina Point Estates Subdivision and to
establish a First Right of Refusal for future lease opportunities on certain City -
owned property.
B. The parties acknowledge that the proposed project may include subdivision and
replatting activities, road construction, utility extensions, residential development,
commercial development, and other related improvements.
C. The City further recognizes that portions of Dena'ina Point Estates, as currently
configured, are not conducive to efficient development due to existing lot
configurations, roadway layouts, and infrastructure limitations. The proposed
replat is intended to create developable lots, facilitate roadway and utility
infrastructure improvements, support significant housing development, encourage
mixed -use development opportunities, and increase the long-term taxable value
and usability of City -owned land. Accordingly, the City has determined that it is
in the public interest to partner with the Developer in advancing the replatting and
planning efforts contemplated by this MOU.
D. Except as expressly provided in Section 7 of MOU, this MOU is intended to
document the parties' understanding and does not obligate either party to enter
into any lease, sale, subdivision installation agreement, or other future transaction.
2. PROPERTY OWNERSHIP
A. The City owns approximately 80.438 acres within Dena'ina Point Estates
Subdivision, consisting of approximately 53.56 acres across thirteen (13) parcels
and approximately 26.878 acres of associated rights -of -way.
B. The Developer owns approximately 7.38 acres, consisting of Tract C-4, and
represents that it is under contract to acquire the remaining approximately 53.22
acres of adjacent privately -owned property within the proposed development area.
Any references in this MOU to property under contract are contingent upon the
Developer successfully completing the associated property acquisitions.
3. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
The Developer has proposed a phased mixed -use development that may include:
1. Replatting and subdivision of City -owned and privately -owned property;
2. Construction of roads and utility infrastructure;
3. Development of approximately forty-six (46) multi -family dwelling units;
4. Development of approximately one hundred twenty-eight (128) single-family
residential lots; and
5. Mixed -use commercial and residential development opportunities.
The parties acknowledge that all development concepts are preliminary and remain
subject to design, engineering, permitting, subdivision approvals, financing, market
conditions, and City Council approval as applicable.
4. REPLAT COOPERATION AND COST SHARING
A. The parties agree to cooperate in preparing and processing a preliminary replat as
necessary to accommodate the proposed development through preliminary plat,
agency review, final plat, and recording consistent with City Code. The City will
take actions reasonably necessary as a property owner to facilitate the replat
consistent with City Code.
B. The estimated cost of the replat is $82,150, based upon the engineer's estimate.
C. Subject to appropriation by the Kenai City Council through Ordinance 3532-
2026, the City will contribute sixty-six percent (66%) of the replat cost, not to
exceed $54,219, in recognition of the public benefits associated with the project,
including the creation of developable lots, facilitation of roadway and utility
infrastructure improvements, support for housing development, and enhancement
of the value and marketability of City -owned land. If Ordinance 3532 is not
enacted, the City shall have no obligation to contribute toward replat costs under
this MOU.
D. The Developer will be responsible for the remaining replat costs and all other pre -
development costs associated with the project.
E. Unless otherwise approved by the City Council, all costs associated with roadway
construction, utility extensions, infrastructure improvements, permitting, and
development will be the responsibility of the Developer.
F. Any future subdivision development requiring public improvements will be
subject to a Subdivision Installation Agreement and compliance with applicable
City standards.
G. In its capacity as owner and operator of the receiving wastewater collection and
treatment system, the City will provide existing system information and
documentation required by the KPB pursuant to KPB Code 20.40.070 at no cost
to the Developer.
H. The City agrees to support the Developer in pursuing any block -length exception
that may be required under KPB Code 20.30.170, including providing support as
a participating landowner.
I. Subject to City Council authorization, the City will initiate and process any
rezoning applications necessary to support the proposed development concurrent
with the replatting process. The parties anticipate that the rezoning application
will propose changing approximately thirty-nine (39) lots from Suburban
Residential (RS) to Central Mixed Use (CMU), with the remaining approximately
one hundred sixty-five (165) lots retaining the Suburban Residential (RS)
designation. The final number, configuration, and zoning designation of lots will
be established through the subdivision and rezoning processes. The parties
acknowledge that a rezoning application cannot be submitted until a preliminary
plat has been prepared and, therefore, rezoning will proceed in coordination with
the replatting process to the extent practicable. This does not bind any City
discretionary body from exercising its discretionary authority under City Code.
5. FUTURE LEASE FRAMEWORK
A. The parties acknowledge that the Developer has submitted an application on
January 19, 2026 to lease City -owned property with an option to purchase
following completion of required improvements.
B. The lease application was publicly advertised in accordance with the Kenai
Municipal Code, and no competing lease application was received during the
required application period.
C. Pursuant to KMC 22.05.035, the application will expire upon execution of a lease,
rejection of the lease application by the City Council, or twelve (12) months after
submission of the application. Accordingly, the application will expire on January
19, 2027, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the Kenai Municipal Code. Upon
expiration of the application, the First Right of Refusal established by this MOU
will govern the Developer's preferential opportunity to lease property subject to
the terms and conditions of this MOU.
D. Upon completion of the replat, the parties anticipate negotiating one or more
leases for City -owned property corresponding to development phases. Any lease
is subject to approval by the Kenai City Council.
E. The parties intend that the replat preserve the City's ownership position in
substantially the same acreage, utility, and value as existed prior to replatting. The
City will retain such rights -of -way, easements, and other property interests as
necessary to preserve the development potential of City -owned land. To facilitate
efficient development, the parties may identify isolated or irregular remnants of
City -owned property located within Developer -owned parcels and Developer -
owned property located within City -owned parcels that would benefit from an
exchange. The anticipated City -owned and Developer -owned lots after the
proposed replat are shown on Exhibit A. The parties may prepare conveyance
documents to implement such exchanges concurrent with final plat recording;
however, any exchange of property interests shall remain subject to City Council
approval.
F. The parties acknowledge that implementation of the replat may require
adjustments to property boundaries, rights -of -way, and ownership interests. Any
such adjustments will be structured to preserve the City's ownership position in
substantially the same acreage, utility, and value as existed prior to replatting
unless otherwise approved by the City Council.
G. The parties agree that an appraisal will be completed in 2026, at the Developer's
expense, as required by the Kenai Municipal Code. The appraisal shall be
performed on an as -is, current -zoning, per -square -foot basis using the existing
parcels as configured at the time of appraisal and shall establish values for distinct
areas of property based on location and market characteristics, including, but not
limited to, highway frontage, visibility, access, and other factors that may affect
value. The appraised value may be adjusted annually using the Consumer Price
Index for use in future lease and purchase negotiations. The appraisal shall serve
as a basis for determining future land values; however, all lease and purchase
terms remain subject to approval by the City Council.
H. The parties further anticipate that any lease approved pursuant to this MOU may
include a right to purchase and may deviate from the City's standard lease form to
support the phased development contemplated herein.
I. Subject to City Council approval, the parties anticipate that any right to purchase
may include the following framework:
I . The lessee may purchase leased property only after completion of all
improvements required under the applicable lease.
2. The purchase price shall be based upon the fair market value of the land only
in accordance with the appraisal framework established in Section 5.G and
shall exclude the value of permanent improvements constructed by the lessee.
3. Fair market value shall be established through an appraisal completed in
accordance with the appraisal framework established in Section 5.G.
4. Upon satisfaction of all lease conditions and payment of the applicable
purchase price, no further City Council authorization shall be required to
complete the sale.
5. All proceeds from any sale shall be deposited into the General Fund Land Sale
Permanent Fund.
6. The parties further contemplate a development incentive whereby the City
may convey all or a portion of the leased property at no cost to the Developer,
with the value of such conveyance limited to a maximum of fifty -percent
(50%) of the documented cost of permanent improvements installed by the
Developer and accepted by the City. The specific terms, eligibility
requirements, and maximum conveyance amount must be established in the
applicable lease and approved by the City Council.
6. DEVELOPMENT IMPLEMENTATION FRAMEWORK
A. PRELIMINARY PLAT AND COMMENCEMENT OF PHASE I
1. The parties agree to cooperate in completing the preliminary plat for the
proposed subdivision.
2. Upon approval of the preliminary plat, Phase I of the development process
may commence.
3. Subject to City Council approval, the parties may amend this MOU or enter
into separate agreements authorizing the Developer to construct roads,
utilities, and other improvements located on City -owned property associated
with Phase I.
4. Nothing in this section authorizes construction on City -owned property absent
all approvals required by law.
B. PHASE I SUBDIVISION INSTALLATION AGREEMENTS
1. Following approval of the preliminary plat, the parties anticipate entering into
one or more Subdivision Installation Agreements ("SIA") in accordance with
the Kenai Municipal Code.
2. The Phase I Subdivision Installation Agreement is anticipated to have a term
of two (2) years and will establish the public improvements, construction
obligations, performance requirements, timelines, and security requirements
applicable to Phase I.
3. Subject to City Council approval and any required amendments to the Kenai
Municipal Code, any Subdivision Installation Agreement entered into following the
completion of Phase I may have a term of up to ten (10) years and may establish the
public improvements, construction obligations, performance requirements, timelines,
and security requirements applicable to the associated phase or phases of
development.
4. The parties acknowledge that execution of any Subdivision Installation
Agreement remains subject to all approvals required by law.
5. The Developer's obligation to enter into a Subdivision Installation Agreement shall
be limited to development phases that include privately owned property controlled by
the Developer or City -owned property subject to an executed lease with the
Developer. The Developer shall not be required, solely as a condition of final plat
approval, to enter into a Subdivision Installation Agreement for development phases
consisting exclusively of City -owned property that the Developer neither owns nor
leases. The existence of a First Right of Refusal established under this MOU shall
not, by itself, obligate the Developer to enter into a Subdivision Installation
Agreement for City -owned property prior to execution of a lease for such property.
C. FINAL PLAT AND LAND EXCHANGE
I . Following execution of the applicable Subdivision Installation Agreements
and satisfaction of all applicable platting requirements, the parties anticipate
pursuing final plat approval for the entire subdivision in accordance with
applicable law and approval processes.
2. The parties anticipate that the land exchange contemplated by this MOU will
be completed concurrently with recording of the final plat in order to align
ownership boundaries and facilitate efficient development patterns.
3. Any land exchange shall be structured to preserve the City's ownership
position in substantially the same acreage, utility, and value as existed prior to
replatting unless otherwise approved by the City Council.
4. Any land exchange shall remain subject to City Council approval and all
applicable legal requirements.
D. DEVELOPMENT PHASING AND SECURITY
1. The parties anticipate that development will proceed in multiple phases over
the term of the project in accordance with the timelines and performance
requirements established in the applicable Subdivision Installation
Agreement(s) and other project agreements approved by the City.
2. Subject to the terms of the applicable Subdivision Installation Agreement(s),
development phases may proceed concurrently or sequentially as approved
through the applicable agreements and City approval processes.
3. The parties anticipate the applicable Subdivision Installation Agreement(s)
will require security, which may include a Deed of Trust or other security
required by Kenai Municipal Code.
4. Subject to the terms of the applicable Subdivision Installation Agreement(s),
the Deed of Trust shall provide for the partial release of properties as
individual phases are completed by the Developer and accepted by the City.
5. The specific terms, conditions, and release provisions of any Deed of Trust
shall be established in the applicable agreement and remain subject to City
Council approval.
E. ANTICIPATED ORDINANCE
1. The parties acknowledge that implementation of a long-term Subdivision
Installation Agreement for one or more phases and any related land exchange
may require amendments to the Kenai Municipal Code or other legislative
action by the City Council.
2. Following execution of this MOU, the City anticipates preparing an ordinance
for City Council consideration that would amend or otherwise authorize
alternative procedures under the Kenai Municipal Code necessary to
implement the phased development structure contemplated by this MOU,
including consideration of a Subdivision Installation Agreement term
exceeding two (2) years.
3. The parties anticipate that such ordinance may be introduced for City Council
consideration as early as August 5, 2026.
4. Nothing in this MOU obligates the City Council to adopt any ordinance or
approve any legislative action.
5. The parties acknowledge that the development sequence described in this
Section is intended to establish a general framework for implementation of the
project and may be modified by mutual written agreement of the parties.
7. DEVELOPMENT -RELATED FIRST RIGHT OF REFUSAL
A. GRANT OF RIGHT
1. In consideration of the Developer's participation in the replat process,
contribution toward project planning and development, and commitment to
pursue the proposed development, the City grants the Developer a First Right
of Refusal ("FROR") for the City -owned property identified in Exhibit A that
is not subject to an existing lease. The FROR shall apply to City -owned
parcels and successor City -owned parcels created through the approved replat
that are specifically identified in Exhibit A. The City -owned property subject
to the FROR shall consist of all City -owned parcels shown in Exhibit A,
Image 3, which the parties anticipate will total approximately 57.80 acres
following the replat.
2. The parties acknowledge that the FROR established by this MOU is separate
from and independent of the Developer's lease application submitted pursuant
to KMC 22.05.035 and shall remain in effect in accordance with Section 7.E.
The expiration or termination of the lease application shall not, by itself,
terminate the FROR.
B. PURPOSE
1. The purpose of the FROR is to provide development certainty while the
Developer advances the phased development contemplated by this MOU.
2. The FROR is intended to encourage timely development and must not be
interpreted as creating a right to hold property for speculative purposes.
C. EXERCISE OF FIRST RIGHT OF REFUSAL
1. If the City receives an application, proposal, or inquiry (collectively,
"Proposal") from another party to lease City -owned property subject to this
FROR, the City will provide written notice to the Developer.
2. If the City receives such a Proposal prior to recording of the final plat, the
City will defer consideration until after the recording of the final plat and will
coordinate in good faith with the Developer during active platting.
3. If the City receives such a Proposal any time after recording of the final plat,
the City shall provide the required notice to Developer but, in its discretion,
may defer consideration of the Proposal for a reasonable period.
4. Within sixty (60) days of receipt of such notice, the Developer must notify the
City in writing of its intent to exercise the FROR. If the Developer timely
exercises the FROR, the Developer shall have an additional ninety (90) days
to execute a lease or other agreement approved by the City Council for the
applicable property. Failure to provide written notice within the sixty (60) day
period or to execute a lease or other agreement within the ninety (90) day
period shall constitute a waiver of the FROR with respect to the subject
property, and the City may proceed to consider other applications or
proposals.
5. The FROR shall be exercised on a parcel -by -parcel basis. Any waiver,
expiration, or termination of the FROR shall apply only to the subject
property identified in the City's notice and shall not affect the Developer's
rights with respect to any other property identified in Exhibit A.
D. PHASED DEVELOPMENT STRUCTURE
1. The parties anticipate that future leases may be structured in phases.
2. The City and Developer may establish separate lease areas corresponding to
development phases.
3. The parties further anticipate that the ability to obtain leases for future phases
may be conditioned upon substantial completion of improvements required for
preceding phases.
4. This subsection describes anticipated lease structuring only and shall not
expand, limit, or otherwise modify the scope or exercise of the FROR.
E. DURATION AND TERMINATION
1. The FROR will commence upon execution of this MOU and remain in effect
until the earliest o£
a. Ten (10) years from the effective date of this MOU; or
b. Written relinquishment of the FROR by the Developer; or
c. Termination by the City Council if the Developer discontinues the
project, abandons development efforts, or is in default of a requirement
of any lease, subdivision installation agreement, or other agreement
related to the project and fails to cure the default as specified in the
applicable agreement, or if no cure period is specified, within sixty
(60) days of written notice of the default.
2. Prior to termination under subsection (c), the City will provide written notice
to the Developer and a reasonable opportunity to respond.
F. NO OBLIGATION TO LEASE
1. Nothing contained herein obligates the City to enter into a lease or convey
property.
2. Any lease remains subject to City Council approval and compliance with
applicable law.
G. ASSIGNMENT
The FROR may not be assigned or transferred without prior approval of the City
Council. The City's consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
8. MULTIPLE LEASE PHASES
The parties acknowledge that the project may proceed in phases. Subject to City Council
approval, the City and Developer may enter into one lease or multiple leases
corresponding to development phases.
9. NO BINDING OBLIGATION
A. Except for the parties' commitment to cooperate in good faith regarding the
matters described herein, this MOU does not obligate either party to approve, any
lease, sale, conveyance, subdivision, rezoning, or other legislative, discretionary,
or quasi-judicial action.
B. Any lease, purchase option, subdivision agreement, or other binding obligation is
subject to separate written agreements and all approvals required by law.
10. TERM
This MOU will commence upon execution by both parties and remain in effect for ten
(10) years, unless extended by mutual written agreement or terminated earlier by either
party upon written notice. Termination or expiration of this MOU shall not affect any
lease, conveyance, or other agreement executed pursuant to this MOU.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 7 (Development -Related First Right of Refusal)
shall survive any termination or expiration of this MOU and shall remain in effect for the
duration and subject to the terms and termination provisions set forth in section 7.

City of Kenai 1 210 Fidalgo Ave, Kenai, AK 99611-7794 1907.283.75351 www.kenai.city
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Knackstedt and Council Members
THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM: Lee Frey, Public Works Director
DATE: June 30, 2026
SUBJECT: Resolution 2026-53 - Authorizing a Contract Award for the Park Pavilion
Construction Project and Redirecting Capital Funds in the Parks
Improvement Capital Project Fund for the Project.
The Parks and Recreation Department has previously budgeted $50,000 for construction of the
Beaver Creek Pavilion and $75,000 for construction of the Municipal Park Shelter Replacement
of which $70,000 is remaining. Through bidding construction of the pavilions, the lowest bid for
the project is $157,500 and additional funding is needed to construct the two pavilions.
The Invitation to Bid for construction of the pavilions was released on May 21, 2026 and five bids
were received by the due date on June 25, 2026. Bids received are as follows:
Contractor Cost
Crave Alaska Cabin Company LLC $157,500
Nodak Electric & Construction Inc. $187,517
Build Alaska General Contracting, LLC $313,440
Pinnacle Construction, Inc. $360,000
Chumley's Inc. $390,000
Crave Alaska Cabin Company LLC was the lowest bid for the contract with a cost of $157,500.
In FY24, $50,000 of capital funds were appropriated for Park Area Hazardous Tree Removal.
Through the Community Wildfire Protection grant, a significant number of hazardous trees have
been removed from City lands, and these funds are no longer needed for a specific project. It is
recommended to redirect $15,000 of these funds to the Municipal Park Shelter Replacement and
$35,000 of these funds to the Beaver Creek Pavilion to have $170,000 available for the project
for contract award, potential change orders and project management costs.
It is in the best interest of the City to redirect the capital funding needed for this project and award
the contract for Park Pavilion Construction to Crave Alaska Cabin Company LLC.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Knackstedt and Council Members
THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM: Lee Frey, Public Works Director
DATE: June 30, 2026
SUBJECT: Bluff Erosion Mitigation Design — PO Increase
The Public Works Department previously recommended an increase of $100,000 to the Bluff
Erosion Project with HDR, Inc. to perform expedited design services to mitigate stormwater
erosion and associated issues as part of the bluff project. After completing a site visit, we
discussed the best way to proceed to mitigate current issues but also accomplish necessary work
prior to next winter.
We have authorized a survey under this contract and are currently proceeding with designs to
abandon a portion of the water main and reroute a water service off this portion of the main,
address the ongoing erosion on Mission Avenue, install stormwater infiltration and diversion
structures to minimize future erosion in this location. Current fee estimates to complete this total
scope of work is $105,000.
The Public Works Department recommends an additional increase of $5,000 with HDR Inc. to
complete this design work to allow the City to construct improvements prior to the next winter.
Thank you for your consideration and I am available for any questions.

feet (100 feet x 100 feet) of Lot 1, Gusty Subdivision No. 8, where the KCCVC is located. Since

entity, "Kenai Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center".
A Special Use Permit (SUP) was granted for the use of the Moosemeat John Cabin for 12 months
from July 31, 2025 to July 30, 2026. The KCCVC would like an SUP for the same use of the
Moosemeat John Cabin from July 31, 2026 to July 30, 2027. The KCCVC complied with the terms
of the SUP for the Moosemeat John Cabin for previous years of issuance.
If the City Council approves the Special Use Permit, the City Manager will be authorized to
execute the Special Use Permit Agreement for the continued use of the cabin for 12 months to
Kenai Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center.
Thank you for your consideration.

Sec. 2.1 (continued)... incoming marijuana or marijuana products received in bulk will be
repackaged physically and with METRC, and will accordingly be labeled before imported into
our POS system and becoming available for sale. Each time a bulk package is opened or
repackaged, weights will be taken at the beginning and end of the process. Internal logs will
be kept and variance due to moisture loss will be kept in internal logs, adjusted, noted, and
accounted for in METR. Any waste will be noted in waste logs as well, and reported to AMCO
via email three days before destroying and exposing of the waste materials. Unpackaged
quantities of bulk marijuana and/or marijuana product will remain locked in secure storage,
consistent with our operating plan. METR ackage tags will remain pysically attached to the
vessel containing bulk marijuana associated with each tag. Incoming marijuana or marijuana
product which has been prepackaged prior to it's arrival at our facility will have the labeling
double checked for compliance before being made available for retail sale. Product will then
be added to inventory within the point of sale system, and may have additional, POS specific,
labeling/sku added. Upon entering the establishment, a customer will immediately be asked to
present ID. Once their ID has been checked they will select product from a menu, be given an
opportunity to view or sniff the product before purchasing. Products will be placed in AMCO
compliant exit packaging before leaving our facility. All sales will be entered through our point
of sale system, and will be reported through METRC, daily. Each drawer will be closed at the
end of each shift and the proceeds from each shift and day will be verified against
accountability reports generated by our POS. At the end of each day, the day will be closed
out with our POS. Within 24 hours of the closure of a business day, our sales data will be
uploaded to METRC. Routine internal audits will be conducted -verifying accuracy between
METRC, our POS, and product on hand. Inventory of prepackaged products will occud each
night at the close of the shift and/or each morning before opening on internal forms, i.e. shift
reports. Retail operations are anticipated to begin at gam until as late as 11:00 p.m., 7 days a
week. Employees will look for signs of impairment to include but not limited to:
-watery eyes

zero tolerance for non -compliant behavior on our licensed premises. Our policy requires that
all personnel be trained on how to identify a person who is under the influence of an alcoholic
beverage, inhalant, or controlled substance as set forth above. Any person(s) who are
suspected of being in violation of 3 AAC306.310(a)(2) will be asked to vacate the premises

ORDINANCE NO. 3534-2026
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING KENAI MUNICIPAL CODE 7.25.030 - UNBUDGETED
APPROPRIATIONS, TO ALLOW THE CITY MANAGER TO APPROPRIATE DONATIONS AND
GRANTS UNDER TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS.
WHEREAS, Kenai Municipal Code 7.25.030 currently requires the Council to appropriate by ordinance
all expenditures not authorized in the budget; and,
WHEREAS, each of the last three years, Council has appropriated between 10-17 donations or grants
under $10,000; and,
WHEREAS, amending KMC 7.25.030 to allow the City Manager to appropriate grants and donations
under $10,000 will reduce administrative effort in legislative preparation, streamline council meetings,
and allow for greater efficiency in appropriating grants and donations by eliminating the typical two
meeting ordinance process; and,
WHEREAS, the proposed changes safeguard council's authority by requiring the City Manager to report
to Council all intended appropriations prior to the appropriation occurring and allowing any council
member to require the appropriation be decided legislatively.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Amendment of Section 7.25.030 of Kenai Municipal Code: That Kenai Municipal Code,
Section Unbudgeted Appropriations. 7.25.030 is hereby amended as follows:
7.25.030 Unbudgeted Appropriations.
For any expenditures not provided an authorization in the budget for the fiscal year, except as provided
below, the Council shall authorize such expenditures by ordinance, making the required appropriation.
For donations and grants to the City or any of its departments under ten thousand dollars, the Council
conditionally delegates its appropriation authority to the City Manager, who will report all such intended
appropriations to the Council at a Council Meeting, prior to the appropriation being made, at which time
any Council Member may object to the intended appropriation by the City Manager, and the
appropriation will be brought to the Council at a future meeting by Ordinance. If no objection is received
when presented to the Council, the City Manager may make the appropriation.
Section 2. Severability: That if any part or provision of this ordinance or application thereof to any
person or circumstances is adjudged invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such judgment shall
be confined in its operation to the part, provision, or application directly involved in all controversy in
which this judgment shall have been rendered, and shall not affect or impair the validity of the remainder
of this title or application thereof to other persons or circumstances. The City Council hereby declares
that it would have enacted the remainder of this ordinance even without such part, provision, or
application.
Section 3. Effective Date: That pursuant to KMC 1.15.070(f), this ordinance shall take effect 30 days
after enactment.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Knackstedt and Council Members
FROM: Council Member Bridget Grieme and Vice Mayor Victoria Askin
DATE: July 2, 2026
SUBJECT: Ordinance 3534-2026 - Amending Kenai Municipal Code 7.25.030 -
Unbudgeted Appropriations, to Allow the City Manager to Appropriate
Donations and Grants Under Ten Thousand Dollars.
This Ordinance is intended to reduce administrative time in legislative preparation, streamline
council meetings and increase efficiency in appropriating grants and donations by conditionally
delegating the Council's authority to the City Manager to appropriate grants and donations under
$10,000. In 2023,17 ordinances were brought to Council for appropriations less than $10,000. In
2024, 15 ordinances, and in 2025, 10 ordinances were introduced for the same purpose. The
current typical process, takes two meetings, one for introduction and another for a public hearing.
This Ordinance proposes to conditionally delegate Council's authority to appropriate expenditures
not in the budget, for grants and donations less than $10,000 to the City Manager, so these
appropriations can be made without the need for legislation requiring two meetings. The
Ordinance would require the City Manager to report all intended appropriations to the City Council
at a City Council Meeting, where recognition to those making donations and staff for pursuing
grants could be made as appropriate, and also allows any Council Member to object to the
Manager making the appropriation which would result in an ordinance being brought to the whole
council at a later meeting for consideration of the appropriation.
While state statute requires legislative bodies to make appropriations for many types of
municipalities, it does not require the same for home rule cities such as Kenai. Your consideration
is appreciated.

AN ORDINANCE REMOVING PUBLIC PURPOSE DESIGNATIONS ON KENAI PENINSULA

THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM: Kevin Buettner, Planning Director
DATE: June 29, 2026
SUBJECT: ORD 3535-2026 - Removing Public Purpose Designations
Peninsula Borough Parcel Numbers 04711308, 04711309,

Recommendations in the City of Kenai Land Management Plan.
on Kenai
04711310,
Disposal
City Administration is undertaking an update to the City of Kenai Land Management Inventory
and Recommendations, also known as the Land Management Plan. This update is intended to
give the Administration and members of the public an accurate inventory and status of all City -
owned lands.
Upon an initial review of the plan, it was noted that six parcels were given a retention status of
"Dispose" while possessing a public purpose designation which was explained in the comments
section of the table corresponding to each map. Kenai Peninsula Borough parcels 04711308,
04711309, 04711310, 04711311, and 04711312, known as Lots 12-16, Block 3, East Addition
Townsite of Kenai, located at 600-608 Peninsula Avenue and parcel 04108003, Lot 3, Block H,
Beaver Creek Alaska Subdivision Amended, located at 5168 Beaver Loop Road were given public
purpose designations by Ordinance 2791-2014 and Ordinance 477-79, respectively.
A public purpose designation is not compatible with a "Dispose" designation, as the methods for
land leases or sales is outlined in Kenai Municipal Code 22.05 — Disposition of City Lands.
Administration requests the removal of the public purpose designations on these six parcels.
Parcels 04711308, 04711309, 04711310, 04711311, and 04711312 were set aside to support
the Bluff Erosion Project and then held a Parks and Recreation designation. The Bluff Erosion
Project was substantially completed in 2025 and a new Parks and Recreation Master Plan,
adopted in June 2026 did not include a recommendation for a park in the area, due to proximity
to existing facilities.
Parcel 04108003 was set aside for a new fire station. The Land Management Plan identified
parcel 04108003 as suitable for development and recommended for disposal at such time as an
alternative location for a fire station is identified. Currently, the City is working with a consultant to
determine the feasibility for the construction of a new or renovated public safety building. The
one -acre size of the lot may not be sufficient for a new replacement fire station and would likely
only be able to accommodate a satellite facility. Other parcels in the area may be better suited for
a larger replacement facility. Removal of the public purpose designation would allow the parcels
to be considered for new development.
Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Sir or Madam,
On behalf of the City of Kenai, I am writing in support of Kenai Watershed Forum's (KWF)
proposal, "Cook Inlet (Alaska) Wetlands Stewardship, Decision Support, and Community
Capacity Building." Wetlands throughout the Kenai Peninsula Borough provide critical ecological
and community benefits that we are privileged to enjoy, and would like to support the
stewardship thereof.
Our organization recognizes the growing need for improved local capacity to understand,
interpret, and apply wetlands information in planning, permitting, and land management
decisions. While substantial investments have been made in wetlands mapping and hydrologic
datasets across the region, there remain technical and institutional gaps in translating these
tools into practical decision -making resources for communities, agencies, landowners, and local
governments. Coupled with reductions in local technical staffing from agencies involved in
wetlands management, an increased need has grown for collaborative, community -based
capacity building efforts.
This project represents an important opportunity to address those needs through:
• Development of accessible wetlands decision -support tools,
• Regional resilience prioritization mapping,
• Community engagement and outreach,
• Professional wetlands stewardship trainings and professional development,
• An increased integration of wetlands science into planning and permitting processes.
We believe that the proposed elements of this project including the Wetlands Stewardship
Cohort, public education initiatives, and collaborative mapping tools have strong potential to
create durable regional benefits that extend beyond the project period and support future
conservation, restoration, and resilience efforts throughout the Cook Inlet region, and could
extend to other Alaskan coastal communities.
We at the City of Kenai appreciate and support the goals of this project and strongly encourage
you to fund this project.
Sincerely,
Terry Eubank
City Manager, City of Kenai

TO: Mayor Knackstedt and Council Members
THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM: Lee Frey, Public Works Director
DATE: June 30, 2026
SUBJECT: Bluff Erosion Mitigation Design — PO Increase
The Public Works Department previously recommended an increase of $100,000 to the Bluff
Erosion Project with HDR, Inc. to perform expedited design services to mitigate stormwater
erosion and associated issues as part of the bluff project. After completing a site visit, we
discussed the best way to proceed to mitigate current issues but also accomplish necessary work
prior to next winter.
We have authorized a survey under this contract and are currently proceeding with designs to
abandon a portion of the water main and reroute a water -service off this portion of the main,
address the ongoing erosion on Mission Avenue, install stormwater infiltration and diversion
structures to minimize future erosion in this location. Current fee estimates to complete this total
scope of work is $105,000.
The Public Works Department recommends an additional increase of $5,000 with HDR Inc. to
complete this design work to allow the City to construct improvements prior to the next winter.
Thank you for your consideration and I am available for any questions.

Permit to use and operate the Moosemeat John Cabin located on approximately 10,000 square
feet (100 feet x 100 feet) of Lot 1, Gusty Subdivision No. 8, where the KCCVC is located. Since

by the Kenai Historical Society in conjunction with its operations in Old Town Kenai. The Kenai

entity, "Kenai Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center".
A Special Use Permit (SUP) was granted for the use of the Moosemeat John Cabin for 12 months
from July 31, 2025 to July 30, 2026. The KCCVC would like an SUP for the same use of the
Moosemeat John Cabin from July 31, 2026 to July 30, 2027. The KCCVC complied with the terms
of the SUP for the Moosemeat John Cabin for previous years of issuance.
If the City Council approves the Special Use Permit, the City Manager will be authorized to
execute the Special Use Permit Agreement for the continued use of the cabin for 12 months to
