MEMOO
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Charles M. Kopp, Acting City Manager
DATE: August 16, 2005
SUBJECT: Capital Improvement Plan
The FY2006 Designated Legislative Grants to the City of Kenai, and subsequent
discussion of various capital improvement project needs has highlighted a real need for
our city to have a formalized Capital Improvement Plan. With current oil prices not
expected to drop significantly in the near future, it is probable the State of Alaska will
again have revenues available in FY2007 for designated legislative grants.
Kenai, like most Alaska communities has a lot of capital projects that are in various
stages of conceptual, planning, design and construction. Some projects that are
significantly planned lack local or other funding. Others are only partly planned, or are
in a conceptual stage. We need to determine evaluative criteria for which projects are
urgent, essential, necessary, desirable, acceptable and deferrable.
This will help determine answers to the questions of which projects are urgent, which
ones are important but can wait, does the cost outweigh benefits, can we afford the
project now (later or never) and where will the money come from. These are a sampling
of questions we must answer when planning projects for the future of Kenai.
When a project is not well defined, budgeted or scheduled, much inefficiency occurs:
project focus is lost, funding opportunities are missed and community frustrations begin
to manifest. The City of Kenai needs a project implementation plan to organize and
establish the feasibility of projects, and to establish project priorities. We need a formally
adopted Capital Improvement Plan.
A capital improvement plan (CII') is a long term guide for determining and guiding
capital project expenditures. It provides a prioritized list of capital projects envisioned by
a community for future development, and a plan that integrates the timing of project
expenditures within the city's annual budget. A well prepared CIP has other important
benefits:
1. Anticipates community needs in advance of them becoming critical;
2. Ranks capital improvement needs so that the most important projects are given
consideration for funding before less urgent projects;
3. Determines maintenance and operation costs so that these expenses are budgeted
(conversely, projects with O & M costs that are too high may be eliminated from
consideration);
4. Provides a written description and justification for projects submitted for state and
federal funding enabling the political representatives and public agencies to have
the information needed to make decisions about funding capital projects;
5. Provides the basis for capital projects as part of the annual budget.
The CIP should cover a term of 5 — 6 years. Anything longer may distract from the CIF's
utility. We want to include projects that can be well defined today and preclude projects
that are not realistic, or are just wishful thinking. I would plan to coordinate our CIP with
our City's Comprehensive Plan.
The State of Alaska defines a capital project in AS 37.07.120(4) as:
An allocation or appropriation item for an asset with an anticipated life
exceeding one year and a cost exceeding $25, 000.00 and includes land
acquisition, construction, structural improvement, engineering and design
for the project, and equipment and repair costs.
It is important that we define a capital project in a similar way to eliminate projects from
the CIP consideration that are maintenance related or routine responsibilities of City
departments. In order to be effective, the development and adoption of a CIP must
involve the entire community. It must become policy.
According to Council direction, I will work with administration to develop and submit a
draft CII' development action plan that will outline the general guidelines, organization
and development schedule to be presented to Council for approval.
The concept CII' will be distributed to various advisory boards, and be scheduled for a
public work session. The City Clerk would be provided blank project nomination
worksheets for the public to recommend a project to the CIP. Following public work
session(s), the administration would bring a draft CIP to Council and incorporate further
recommendations into the CIP.
I would envision a possibility of one more public work session after Council review and
commentary on the draft, followed by presentation of the Final CIP to Council for
adoption and implementation.

DATE: July 14, 2005
SUBJECT: FY 2006 Designated Legislative Grants
Attached is the letter from the State dated July 1, 2005, notifying the City of the
two grants that we have been awarded. I have talked to Jolene Julian, Grants
Administrator, who said that the project description might be brief and vague.
She also said that we could use City general fund money for a project now; and
later, when we actually receive the funds, replace the general fund money with
this grant money. However, the expenditures have to be after this award letter of
July 1, 2005.
Below is my suggestion for use of the funds. The first project can be used for
oil -
any public improvements, so I'm sure there will not be a lack of suggestions on vsg �g��s
how to use these funds. bg vr

Water System Improvements: �E.vr 49-4`,c . o r w xe o9 of wdpAe a srs
*—Cm -4X /94,4?c/c ✓ww/2uvzw amwrs"
The intended use of these funds (but not written into the grant) Would be to help
to pay for furnishing and installing water treatment plants at our well houses. We
have an arsenic problem at Wells 1, 3, and 4 and a color problem at Well 2.
Senior Center Improvements:
Another option that could be considered is to use some of these grant funds for
the Senior Kitchen Project. We opened bids on this project yesterday and need
additional funds to award the construction. The State said we could use our
general fund money now and later replace it with this grant money.

Kenai Road System improvements for the Purpose of Improving the
Transportation Routes and Parking Areas within the City:
These improvements to new or existing facilities may include but are not limited
to, street and parking lot paving, gravel improvements, trails, stoma drainage,
utility work, curbs and gutters, sidewalks, water and sewer improvements in the
road right-of-way, and street lighting. The grant funds will be used to pay for
administration costs, engineering design, inspection, and surveying costs, utility
relocation costs, and material and construction costs to improve the parking and
transportation routes.
These grant funds may be used as a City contribution to a Local Improvement
District for the improvements listed above. These funds could also be used to
fund the construction of an exit road from the Kenai Boating Facility (not written
into the grant).

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
State Capital Budget
City of Kenai
This project will be to furnish and install a water treatment system at each of our Well
Houses No. 1, 2, 3, and 4. This project will accomplish the removal of arsenic, color,
iron, and manganese. The arsenic level from our wells has been up to 0.042 mg/I which
is well over the maximum contaminant level, MCL, of 0.01 mg/I. Color has been as high
as 71 color units (MCL=15). Iron has been as high as 0.41 mg/I (MCL=0.30).
Manganese has been as high as 0.076 mg/I (MCL=0.05).
Each system may include multimedia filtering tanks, storage tanks, surge/backwash
tanks and associated pumps. It may also include chemical injection pumps, electrical
control panels, air blower units, flow metering apparatus and analytical equipment. The
SCADA system will be updated to incorporate the treatment system.
If this project is not done, the city's municipal water supply will be out of compliance for
public drinking water supply. Arsenic is a primary contaminant. The city will be in
violation of the ADEC/EPA regulations. These regulations indicate a serious health
hazard for arsenic levels higher than 0.01 mg/I and our water has been as high as
0.042 mg/I. The color, iron, and manganese in our water also exceeds the ADEC/EPA
maximum contaminant level.

About 35 percent of the City of Kenai's 63 miles of roads are not paved. This project is
for paving and upgrading gravel roads in the McCollum/Aliak area, Beaver Loop Area,
VIP Subdivision, Thompson Park Subdivision, and other areas. Paving roads increases
the quality of life for City residents. It provides good, clean transportation access to
property owners. It also lowers the City's maintenance costs since it eliminates dust
control and grading of gravel roads and makes it easier on and extends the life of City
equipment. Property owners are asked to pay for 50% of the cost of paving gravel
roads through a "Local Improvement District." The City has developed a prioritized list
of individual roads for pavement improvements.
The topography of large areas within the City of Kenai is rather flat which has caused
many drainage problems. Instead of constructing miles of expensive storm drains and
dealing with freezing lines and possible lift station problems, the city built many
infiltration basins. The surface water collects at these infiltration basins and dissipates
into the ground. Unfortunately, during certain times of the year these infiltration basins
will not take all of the water. This happens when the ground is frozen around the basins
and we have heavy rains. It also happens when the ground water table is high and
therefore cannot except any more water. We then have flooding is the low spots near
the basins.
This project is to replace infiltration basins with underground storm drains and/or
improve the infiltration basins, if possible. Problem areas include Lake Street, Cohoe
Circle, Windward Drive, Equinox Way, Inlet Woods Drive, Channel Way, Woodside
Avenue, Toyon Way, Pine Avenue, and others.
Many of the city parking lots are old and in the need of asphalt repairs or replacement.
There are also drainage problems in some of the parking lots. The Kenai City Library,
Kenai Police and Fire Department; Kenai City Hall, Kenai Senior Center, Kenai
Recreation Center, Kenai Cemetery and others need work. This could be complete
asphalt removal and replacement, patchwork, or chip and sealant.

This project would provide a dependable water supply for fire protection in the VIP
Subdivision, which is located across the Kenai River estuary over the Bridge Access
road. The VIP subdivision is not connected to city water and, therefore, fire protection is
now provided by shuttling water from hydrants located on the opposite side of the
Bridge. Providing a reliable non -potable water supply could include a well and possibly
a building, fire pump, and a hydrant.

City of Kenai
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Through the years, the City of Kenai has commissioned many studies and reports
related to controlling riverbank erosion in the area of the lower Kenai River. The areas
of study have included Kenai River sedimentation, dredging, hydrology, and rates of
erosion. In 1997 Corps of Engineers Reconnaissance Report stated, "The area of
public property at most risk from bluff erosion is the shore at the site of the Kenai Senior
Center. The erosion rate is not known without further study, but can be assumed to
vary from 10 to 20 feet per year, based on rates in similar circumstances elsewhere."
The rate of erosion is currently estimated at between 3 to 10 feet per year along a one -
mile length beginning at a point near the Kenai Beach Road. In 1998, the City hired
Peratrovich, Nottingham, & Drage, Inc. (PN&D) to perform a Reconnaissance Level
Study for an erosion control project. In 1999, PN&D produced a project design concept
report for a Kenai erosion control and coastal trail project. This report included a
schematic design, right-of-way property impacts, preliminary environmental
considerations, and a rough project cost estimate. The basic design method of erosion
control recommenced by PN&D is an armor rock revetment and riprap method, with a
coastal trail on top for restoration purpose. PN&D completed its third contract with the
City, which consisted of working on the environmental and permitting requirements of
this project. Approximately $120,000 of City funds has been spent on PN&D's work.
In 2002, the US Corps of Engineers was allocated $500,000 to perform a technical
evaluation/reconnaissance study of Kenai riverbank stabilization needs to move the
project closer to being able to obtain the necessary permitting and design work. The
City continues to work cooperatively in conjunction with the Corps during this evaluation
phase. The Corps is scheduled to complete the evaluation study in March 2005.
In 2004, the US Corps of Engineers was allocated an additional $500,000 to perform
permitting and design work needed to move the project forward to the construction
phase. The City anticipates continued cooperation with the Corps in order to work
through any environmental permitting issues which may arise.

CITY OF KENAI
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
A. New or Upgrade of Dock Access Road $300,000
This part of the project is to add a new road as an exit access to the boating
facility or to widen and upgrade the existing road.
1 4f1
This part of the project is to rebuild the Boat Launch Road and a portion of the
Boating Facility parking lot, which is presently gravel. The project includes
asphalt paving, parking striping, and signage.
C. New Restrooms $90,000
This is to furnish and install three (3) new restrooms.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION:
Personal dip net fishermen from all over the state use the Boat Launch Road,
Parking Lot, and Launch Ramps. There is very heavy use on the beaches where
the Kenai River empties into the Cook Inlet. Over 15,000 dip net permits for
households are issued each year, and over 100,000 fish are caught in this Kenai
River fishery. The City Boat Facility handles a lot of this fishery. This project will
improve the Boating Facility operation and make it a lot cleaner. The new restrooms
are badly needed for the beach dip net fishing operations.
This project will greatly enhance the health and quality of life of its users. At the
present time, users of the Boating Facility use staging areas that are gravel surfaced
and often dirty and unsanitary. Dust in the area is a problem since dust retardants
cannot be used due to the closeness to the water. Users spend time in staging
areas getting their boats ready to load and unload onto their trailers and in parking.
This project would definitely enhance recreational opportunities for dip net
fishermen. Informational signs would also enhance the understanding of the area.
1/18/05
Dip Net Fishery Projects
Page 2
At times, the line of vehicles with boats or trailers extends down Boat Launch Road
and onto Bridge Access Road. This presents many problems of access on this
narrow road. Users often have to exit the facility and drive down Bridge Access
Road to find a place to turn around and then back to Boat Launch Road to get in line
to retrieve their boats. A new one-way exit from the facility would allow users with
their boats to exit directly or allow vehicles with a trailer to make a loop to the line on
Boat Launch Road to retrieve their boats. Another alternative would be to widen the
existing road and reroute a return.
Dip net fishing on the Kenai River/Cook Inlet beaches is becoming more popular.
The restroom on South Spruce and Kenai Avenue needs to be replaced and two
additional restrooms need to be added for this fishery.
All three parts of this project are very badly needed, and they are a direct result of
the heavy use of dip net fishermen. Since the dip net fishery is governed or
regulated in this area by the State of Alaska, the City of Kenai is requesting mostly
state funds to help relieve some of the costs caused by the impact of this fishery.
That is also why this project is entitled "State of Alaska Dip Net Fishery Projects."

RE: Capital Improvement Project (CIP) Narratives
Attached please find project narratives for current, ongoing, and proposed capital improvement
projects for the City of Kenai. The projects described herein are in various stages of
development, from conception only to partial or full designs. These narratives form the
beginning of an effort to develop a more formalized Capital Improvement Plan for the City of
Kenai, which should serve to assist the Council in prioritizing, tracking, and funding projects
itself and/or by seeking bond funding, state or federal funding as it deems necessary.
Typically, around this time each year, Council will consider a Resolution (Sample Resolution
No. 2004-02 attached) adopting the CIP priority list for requesting State and Federal funding for
the projects on the list. The administration is providing this packet to assist you in selecting the
projects for your (CIP) priority list and to give you an overview of selections you may wish to
consider for a General Obligation bond package for submittal to the voters.
Finance Director Larry Semmens has indicated the current rate for 20 -year maturity municipal
bonds is around 4.5% and provided further information as follows: Debt service is not usually
constant over the life of a bond issue; however, if an issue were structured that way, the annual
debt service per million of debt would be $77,000. At 5%, the debt service would be about
$80,00 per year. Assuming the City's taxable assessed value is $400,000,000, the tax rate to
cover debt service is about .2 mils per million of debt. This equates to $20 per $100,000 of
taxable value.

PROJECT NAME:
Kenai Vehicle Maintenance Facility
ESTIMATED PROJECT COSTS:
S4 million based upon a 1998 estimate, including inflation. contingencv, and A/E
services. Annual operation and maintenance costs would be similar to the new airport
Operations Facility.
POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES:
The City General Fund, Enterprise and Special Revenue Funds, Bonds, etc., could all be
considered for funding of this facility, as vehicle maintenance serves all City
departments. We have expended approximately $100,000 to date from an original
$250,000 State of Alaska grant for preliminary A/E services. The remaining funds from
this grant have been re -appropriated to environmental work within the shop site.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
At this time we have design development stage pians and specifications for a 24,967 -
square -foot facility. Should the present design be utilized, we would complete final
project documents and go to bid for construction. The above cost estimate is based upon
this design concept. This facility concept could also be reviewed for cost savings by
reducing building size and/or use, implement phased construction, or even utilize the
design -build method of construction. Building Maintenance was initially programmed to
occupy the facility. However, we have converted space in Warm Storage Building No. 1
for this need. The vehicle maintenance area of the facility could be downsized with an
option for future expansion. It's possible that a new facility could function initially with
funds estimated at $3 million or less.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NARRATIVE
PROJECT NAME: Kenai Municipal Airport Parallel Taxiway Project
ESTIMATED PROJECT COSTS: 53,600,000 Detailed cost estimates and
breakdowns are being prepared under contract to Wince-Corthell-Bryson for design and
engineering of the project. FAA requires estimated cost figures for planning and
programming; detailed cost estimates are on schedule for completion in February 2005.
Annual operations and maintenance cost estimates are not available at this time, however
the improved efficiency of airport snow removal operations made possible by this project
should keep the annual maintenance cost (including pavement repair and paint striping)
under S 10,000.
POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES: The Kenai Municipal Airport obtains funding
from the federal Airport Improvement Program (AIP), which assists in the development
of a nationwide system of public -use airports by providing funding for airport planning
and development projects at airports included in the National Plan of Integrated Aimort
Systems (NPIAS). The NPIAS identifies more than 3,300 airports that are significant to
national air transportation and thus eligible to receive Federal grants under the AIR It
also includes estimates of the amount of AIP money needed to fund infrastructure
development projects that will bring these airports up to current design standards and add
capacity to congested airports. FAA is required to provide Congress with a 5 -year
estimate of AIP eligible development every 2 years. This taxiway project has received
approval from the Alaska Region FAA Airports office for inclusion in the NPIAS.
Funding is based on a complicated formula accounting for the number of passengers
served, cargo, and size of airport. Alaskan airports enjoy strong Congressional support
due to the lack of an adequate road system to serve all communities.
The current AIP program allows Federal funding of this project at 95% with the
remaining 5% split evenly between the Kenai Airport Fund and the State of Alaska. The
State of Alaska participates in Airport project funding at 2.5% to support the critical
aviation transportation system within the State of Alaska.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The FAA requires all projects programmed for AIP
funding be studied and approved in the Airport Master Plan. This process ensures all
projects go through the appropriate public hearing process and review by the airport and
FAA for purpose and need. A full-length parallel taxiway has been a recommendation of
all recent Kenai Municipal Airport master plans.
The 1979 Master Plan recommended a full length Design Group IV parallel taxiway
separated from the runway by 600 feet, with bypass taxiways at the ends of the runway.
The 1987 Master Plan recommended a full parallel taxiway 400 feet from the runway. A
600 foot separation was considered, but a 400 foot separation was recommended to
minimize conflicts with other taxiways and to also serve a future parallel general aviation
runway separated from the main runway by 800 feet. Based on forecasts at that time the
north end of the taxiway was to be built in 1991-1995 and the south end in the 1996 —
2005 timeframe.
A full length parallel taxiway separated from the main runway by 600 feet and with
bypass taxiways was recommended in the 1997 Master Plan. The 600 foot separation
was designed to fit with the new location of a proposed general aviation runway (which
has since been built). The south segment of the parallel taxiway was planned for the
2002 to 2006 timeframe.
Taxiway C, the center section of a parallel taxiway, a Design Group VI Taxiway offset
from the runway by 600 feet. was built in the 1970's and the north section was built in
the late 1990's. The two existing sections combined extend for about 4,500 feet.
According to the FAA AC 150/5300-13, section 405, "A basic airport consists of a
runway with a full length parallel taxiway, an apron, and connecting transverse
taxiways between the runway, parallel taxiway, and the apron." Furthermore.
Appendix 16 of this Advisory Circular (Tables A16-1 A -C) indicates a full-length
parallel taxiway is required for precision instrumented and non -precision
instrumented runways with less than 1 statute mile visibility minimums. The helps
ensure aircraft are not on the airfield in low visibility conditions, when an arriving or
departing aircraft or the tower may be unable to see all aircraft on the airfield. The Kenai
Airport has Runway 19 landing minimums of/2 mile and according to these standards
should have a full-length parallel taxiway.
A full-length parallel taxiway also improves airfield capacity by enabling aircraft to avoid
taxiing on the runway or exit the runway sooner, making the runway available for more
arrivals and departures. Because the full-length parallel taxiway does not exist today,
some aircraft must taxi on the runway upon arrival or must taxi through the terminal area
or on the runway to reach the departure end of Runway 1.
According to the 1987 and 1997 master plans, the full-length parallel taxiway would
increase airfield capacity from 78 operations per hour in VFR conditions to 93 operations
per hour and from 27 operations in IFR conditions to 59 operations. According to the
Master Plans, while airfield capacity was not a concern during much of the day, it could
sometimes become an issue during peak use periods and will become an increasing
concern as traffic grows.
Flexibility during construction and resurfacing of the primary runway or during
emergency closures is another compelling reason for this project. A full-length parallel
taxiway can be reconfigured, in some instances, for temporary use of a runway. This
may occur in Kenai when the existing runway is closed for an extended time for
resurfacing or possibly for extending the runway safety area and runway. According to
several of the primary airport users, a 75 foot wide taxiway is an acceptable width for
temporary use as a runway during non -snow and ice conditions.
®-`
The Kenai Airport airfield is designed to an Airport Reference Code of C -IV. This
parallel taxiway will be designed to that same standard.
The existing 4,500 foot partial parallel taxiway is separated from the runway by 600 feet.
The proposed extension of that taxiway to the south ena of the runway, would continue
that 600 foot separation. It would also provide sufficient separation for a future high
speed runway exit taxiway, should one ever be needed.
In assessing the design of this taxiway consideration was given to the idea of a 400 foot
separation. The primary advantage of a 400 foot separation would be that it, combined
with other apron and taxiway changes, would enable much more apron and lease lot
depth and space than exists today. However, if the airport shOuid ever decide to construct
a parallel taxiway 400 feet from the runway in the future, ::. W existing parallel taxiway
would be located such that it could become a future apron �;uge taxiway. In other words,
the 600 foot parallel taxiway provides flexibility for future possible changes to the
airfield to gain additional apron and lease lot space and depth. Other reasons to maintain
the 600 foot offset are that a 400 foot offset would be constructed through an existing
airfield drainage area and through a former airport borrow and construction disposal site.
These issues, combined with the fact that half of the parallel taxiway with a 600 foot
separation is already in place would cause a taxiway with a 400 foot separation to have
significantly higher costs.
The parallel taxiway is depicted in the attached Airport Layout Drawing (ALP) as a
dotted line indicating the future construction.

Facility remains as is. with no change in use. Facility allows for limited combustible
contents and will be required to meet the following: 1) Non combustible construction
and construction (as is, no flea market), wall and roof beam protection for 15 -minute
thermal barrier. Beam protection serves fire purposes and should reduce
condensation dripping.
b. Alternative if
$257,000.00
Facility is used as nockey rink for majority of year and allows seasonal use that may
include limited combustible contents (flea market, etc.) and other uses. Fire
Protection upgrades allows for limited combustible contents and will include the
following: 1) Maintaining required fire resistive rating for beam protection (60,000).
Spectator seating may increase to between 400 and 500: 2) Install emergency lights,
fire alarm system, exit signs and doors with panic hardware ($38,300). Enclosing
front does not require doors. 3) Install Class III standpipe system ($20,000): 4)
Removal of the two portable player shacks to outside of building. In addition to
required fire protection, the following would be added: Radiant Neat ($40,000),
spectator netting ($3,000), elevated platform ($10,000), two additional warming
shacks ($17,000), covered roof over shacks ($10,000), security cameras ($10,000),

Construction would include a permanent lobby, 4 team rooms, skate rental and
concession ($1,600.000). For life safety requirements. a sprinkler system ($75,000)
would be required. Occupant load would increase to 1,200 to 1,3000 people.
Alternative III would have a major influence on annual operations and
maintenance costs (projected to increase costs by $32,000). Alternative If would
probably increase costs by $6,500.
POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES:

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Multi -Use Facility, as presently constructed, severely restricts the possible
use of this facility. The facility should be upgraded in order to allow other
possible uses such as flea markets, etc. The above-mentioned upgrades will not
only meet life safety requirements, but also permit the building to be used for
other programs. A greater flexibility in the use of the building and better
community service would be achieved.
Condensation has been an issue at the facility. The current plan is to apply a
protective layer over the overhead support beams. If this works as planned, this
will not only limit the condensation drip problems, but will satisfy the required 15 -
minute thermal barrier should Alternative II is pursued.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Soccer is quickly becoming the most popular children's sport. With 1,075
outdoor soccer participants in the Kenai area along with a multitude of coaches,
parents, and spectators, field space is in high demand. Currently, there are not
enough dedicated fields to accommodate this use.
Not only do soccer teams compete for space amongst themselves, but fields are
often shared with other user groups such as Pop Warner Football, Kenai Little
League, Boys and Gids Club, and local schools. Over extended use of fields
often lead to degradation and increased maintenance costs.
The completion of an outdoor sports complex would allow the community to
capitalize on baseball and soccer tournaments while at the same time addressing
quality of life issues. The Boys and Girls Club of the Kenai Peninsula has seen a
19% increase in outdoor soccer participation since 1999, while the Kenai
Peninsula Soccer Club has seen 800% growth. Indoor soccer alone has grown
from 326 participants in 2000 to 644 in 2004 (100% growth). Presently, our local
Kenai Peninsula Soccer Club teams travel throughout the state in order to
compete in tournaments. The addition of soccer fields would not only allow local
teams to compete at home, but it would draw people into our community.
In addition to soccer fields, support facilities such as baseball fields,
campground, BMX course/skate park, and a neighborhood park could be added.
This area in affect could support most all organized outdoor recreation needs
well into the future.
To date, properties within Sect. 36 have been dedicated for a public purpose
(Ordinance No. 2069-2004), cost estimates developed for the addition of four (4)
fields and a parking lot, and LWCF grant money pursued. Due to the large
development costs, projects need to be prioritized and phased for
implementation. Additionally, Borough property (see attachment) could be
requested for expansion needs.

$1,600,000
State DEC: 501/6 = $800,000
City: 50% = S800.000
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project will be to fiunish and install a water treatment
system at each of our Well Houses No. 1, 2, 3, and 4. This project will accomplish the removal
of arsenic, color, iron, and manganese. The arsenic level from our wells has been up to 0.042
mg/1 which is well over the maximum contaminant level, MCL, of 0.01 mg/l. Color has been as
high as 71 color units (MCL=l5). Iron has been as high as 0.41 mo (MCL=0.30). Manganese
has been as high as 0.076 meil (MCL=0.05).
Each system may include multimedia filtering tanks, storage tanks, surgetbackwash tanks and
associated pumps. It may also include chemical injection pumps, electrical control panels, air
blower units, flow metering apparatus and analytical equipment. The SCADA system will be
updated to incorporate the treatment system.
If this project is not done, the city's municipal water supply will be out of compliance for public
drinking water supply. Arsenic is a primary contaminant. The city will be in violation of the
ADEC/EPA regulations. These regulations indicate a serious health hazard for arsenic levels
higher than 0.01 mg/I and our water has been as high as 0.042 mg/l. The color, iron, and
manganese in our water also exceeds the ADEC/EPA maximum contaminant level.

This part of the project is to add a new road as an exit access to the boating
facility or to widen and upgrade the existing road.
B. Dock Area Paving

asphalt paving, parking striping, and signage.
C. New Restrooms $90,000
This is to furnish and install three (3) new restrooms.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION:
Personal dip net fishermen from all over the state use the Boat Launch Road,
Parking Lot, and Launch Ramps. There is very heavy use on the beaches where
the Kenai River empties into the Cook Inlet. Over 15,000 dip net permits for
households are issued each year, and over 100,000 fish are caught in this Kenai
River fishery. The City Boat Facility handles a lot of this fishery. This project will
improve the Boating Facility operation and make it a lot cleaner. The new restrooms
are badly needed for the beach dip net fishing operations.
This project will greatly enhance the health and quality of life of its users. At the
present time, users of the Boating Facility use staging areas that are gravel surfaced
and often dirty and unsanitary. Dust in the area is a problem since dust retardants
cannot be used due to the closeness to the water. Users spend time in staging
areas getting their boats ready to load and unload onto their trailers and in parking.
This project would definitely enhance recreational opportunities for dip net
fishermen. Informational signs would'also enhance the understanding of the area.

At times, the line of vehicles with boats or trailers extends down Boat Launch Road
almost to Bridge Access Road. This presents many problems of access on this
narrow road. Users often have to exit the facility and drive down Bridge Access
Road to find a place to tum arouno and then back to Boat Launch Road to get in line
to retrieve their boats. A new one-way exit from the facility would allow users with
their boats to exit directly or allow vehicles with a trailer to make a loop to the line on
Boat Launch Road to retrieve their boats. Another alternative would be to widen the
existing road and reroute a return.
Dip net fishing on the Kenai River/Cook Inlet beaches is becoming more popular.
The restroom on South Spruce and Kenai Avenue needs to be replaced and two
additional restrooms need to be added for this fishery.
All three parts of this project are very badly needed, and they are a direct result of
the heavy use of dip net fishermen. Since the dip net fishery is governed or
regulated in this area by the State of Alaska, the City of Kenai is requesting mostly
state funds to help relieve some of the costs caused by the impact of this fishery.
That is also why this protect is entitled "State of Alaska Dip Net Fishery Projects.°

PROJECT: Interoperable Emergency Communication System in the City of Kenai
Emergency Operations Center (KEOC)
ESTIMATED PROJECT COSTS: Based on recent estimates, the balance needed to complete
this project is $605.153. The City has completed an estimated $475,000 in communications
infrastructure. all of which function as components to the requested KEOC system. Annual M &
0 costs are estimated to be $20,000 to $40,000 per year including maintenance contracts and
ALMR subscriber fees.
STATE ASSISTANCE REQUESTED: 100%
PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND JUSTIFICATION:
Obtain and install an integrated communications system in the KEOC, to include base stations
and computer aided dispatch (CAD). The goal is to promote interoperability with other
jurisdictions, including AST and Forestry, the Kenai Peninsula Borough OEM, mutual aid
departments, and to enable other communities to take advantage of the regional interconnectivity
this project provides. including clear communications and interoperability of mobile, portable and
fixed site communications for public safety and during mutual aid responses, mass casualty
incidents, disaster response, and search and rescue operations. A CAD system will link Public
Safety Answering Poirits (PSAPS) in Kenai, Soidotna, Seward and Homer with a common
records and resource management system.
Funding this request will bridge the gap between available local funds and other funds being
sought. The City has worked diligently to develop grants to upgrade PSAPs in Kenai and other
Peninsula communities to insure equipment compatibility. This request is not intended to fund
other communities, but to establish connectivity through our EOC to enable them to become truly
interoperable in their PSAPs. All PSAPs are, or are in the process of becoming, Project 25
(federally required narrow band) capable. P25 mobiles, portable radios and repeaters are already
in place. This funding will connect the KEOC to the state-wide radio infrastructure known as the
Alaska Land Mobile Radio (ALMR) system, a joint project of the U.S. Department of Defense and
the State of Alaska. ALMR will meet Federal narrow band requirements and offer advanced
abilities to local agencies able to connect (high capacity & security, enhanced interoperability,
reliability, and long distance communications). Connectivity supports mobile data
communications and reliable high-speed data circuits to regional computer networks. ALMR and
Borough -wide CAD system availability will meet the City's radio and data communications needs.
The State encourages municipal participation in planning and implementing the system.
This project eliminates communications deficiencies and creates interoperability for a broad base
of City emergency responders and others regionally. It improves safety and efficiency of
emergency response, creating more efficient response ability locally and regionally through new
connectivity. Emergencies will be managed effectively and safely, and accountability and resale
of emergency personnel on interior fire attack crews when they need aid will improve.
Our community is centrally located to give and receive mutual aid to other areas. All local
agencies use narrow -band radios. All responders including mutual aid departments will benefit.
Local requirements that will be addressed include:
• Coverage of all required areas;
• Adequate number of talk groups for all local agencies;
• Paging of emergency personnel;
• Data communications links for interconnecting CAD systems;
• Radio support for future mobile data and automatic vehicle location systems.
WHY PROJECT CANNOT BE SOLEY FUNDED THROUGH LOCAL FUNDS:
With obsolete communications equipment in our PSAP (including some tube type equipment), yet
providing primary answering for an E-911 system our community faced a choice last year of what
could be done with available local funds: either upgrade PSAP equipment with available funds, or
complete the KEOC to take advantage of the ALMR system in the future.
Our community wisely chose to upgrade the PSAP due to the immediacy of needs it addressed
for fire, police, public works, municipal airport, and critical facility alar monitoring and animal
control and mutual aid. This provided a communications center that will serve well for decades
and is designed to connect to this proposed project, but left no funds for EOC interoperable
communications needs. Funding this project will fill the gap left by having to make this difficult
choice.
ADDITIONAL RELEVANT INFORMATION TO CONSIDER:
This project will bring our emergency communications system into compliance with narrow nand,
interoperable communications criteria and enhance cooperative projects already being
undertaken regionally by other cities within the Borough to improve emergency communications
and response. Kenai has the key equipment and facilities in place to bring these types of
communications into the area several years ahead of what would otherwise be expected, with the
added benefit of providing connectivity to other communities that would otherwise not be able to
access such technology.
This project reduces costs across the board for all involved due to substantial local foresight in
establishing a City facility with ample space and connectivity specifically intended for use as an
ECC (designed cooperatively with input from ADES, the Kenai Peninsula Borough OEM and
FEMA). Existing technology includes fiber optic uplink ability, seismic protection, multi -fuel
emergency generators, training facilities, and an 8.000 square foot EOC with space for
communications, Incident Command and twelve (12) agency cubicles. The only materials
needed to become functional are those applied for in this project. This project will open a new
mission area for the City and for the region by providing the only true EOC communications
center in the area.
The KEOC facility was built with federal funds in 1998 with the support of Federal, Borough and
State disaster management agencies. It is designed to FEMA EOC specifications but has not
been equipped with communications equipment. It has fiber-optic trunking as an integral part of
its wiring that will hub high bandwidth from the center to form a WAN in support of the multi -
jurisdictional CAD framework. The scalable CAD system will support multiple agencies: law
enforcement, fire, and EMS. The system also supports multiple agencies of each discipline (e.g.,
Alaska State Troopers, State Forestry, mutual aid departments, state and federal disaster
response agencies).
The City PSAP and others lack significant automated support for the primary tasks of receiving
emergency information from E911 and other calls for service; determining the nature and location
of emergencies; selecting appropriate response; directing units to locations; monitoring
emergencies; and compiling legal records of activity related to an emergency. No PSAP has
reliable means of monitoring emergency activity within the Borough, to back up or share
workloads of other PSAPs in emergencies, or to monitor availability and status of resources
outside their jurisdiction.
With the funding requested for this project, the City will purchase the necessary communications
and computer equipment to address these issues. The system envisioned will allow servers and
workstations at other PSAPs to independently support a center, and link all servers through
ALMR or other data circuits for data sharing, mutual activity monitoring, and backup.

PROJECT NAME: SURFACE DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS
ESTIMATED PROJECT COSTS: $375,000
POTENTIAL FUDING SOURCES: State Capital Budget
City of Kenai
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The topography of large areas within the City of Kenai is
rather flat which has caused many drainage problems. Instead of constructing miles of
expensive storm drains and dealing with freezing lines and possible lift station problems,
the city built many infiltration basins. The surface water collects at these infiltration
basins and dissipates into the ground. Unfortunately, during certain times of the year
these infiltration basins will not take all of the water. This happens when the ground is
frozen around the basins and we have heavy rains. It also happens when the ground
water table is high and therefore cannot except any more water. We then have flooding is
the low spots near the basins.
This project is to replace infiltration basins with underground storm drains and/or
improve the infiltration basins, if possible. The streets that we have had problems with
include Lake Street, Windward Drive, Equinox Way, Inlet Woods Drive, Channel Way,
Woodside Avenue, Toyon Way, Pine Avenue, and others.

Since the inception of our NTS program our meal program has continually grown.
In the last 4 years our program has grown at an 18% increase in meals served. In
1982 the dining room of 1,760 square feet and the kitchen of 660 square feet was
built. Then in 1990, an additional 2,000 square feet was added to the dining room
and the kitchen remained the same. We have outgrown our kitchen in relation to
the number of meals we serve today. The senior population is the fastest growing
population in the state of Alaska with the Kenai Peninsula being no exception.
There are concerns of additional demands coming in the future. As the senior
population increases in age, preparing and delivering more home meals is
anticipated.
Areas of concern regarding the kitchen as it is today are as follows:
1. Storage
a. Inadequate freezer and refrigeration space
2. Inadequate and inefficiently located storage of dry goods, cleaning
supplies and dishes for service.
a. Addition of a B6bus station" that would allow for an efficient and
sanitary method of post service dish handling.
3. Inadequate counteriprep space.
4. The kitchen range exhaust hood has very low head clearance that
currently is a liability issue needing immediate attention.
5. Inadequate power sources in and around center prep island.
6. Inefficient equipment layout and underused available space.
7. Lack of appropriate space for food delivery, laundry needs. and storage
of service items (dishes etc...).
Contracting to design and build a structural addition that would address the storage
and food preparation needs of the facility would undoubtedly enhance the safety,
productivity and cost effectiveness of the kitchen while simply creating a more
efficient work space. With a new larger walk in freezer and cooler we will be able to
purchase food in bulk for a savings, have an area designated for frozen home meals,
and more workable space for kitchen staff and volunteers. This will not only
enhance our serviceability for our program but also provide a more user-friendly
and efficient facillty to our communitv.
If our funding is awarded to finance this project we would move ahead as quickly as
possible. We have received a $40,00 legislative grant that has been earmarked for
our kitchen project. We have a pledged amount of $10,000 and have applied to
Rasmuson Foundation and inquired into a grant from the Mental Health Trust as
well as other areas of funding.
Once our project is complete we hope our kitchen will sustain us through many
years of continued service to our seniors and the community. 8% of the total Kenai
Peninsula population is "Baby -boomers". A majority of them haven't retired yet
and many more retirees are moving to the Kenai Peninsula from other areas of the
United States. With that in mind, we will continue to see the accelerated increase of
a senior population living longer and needing the services which only a properly
managed and equipped support system can render. Theses necessary improvements
to our Center will allow us to better serve our existing members and leave us better
prepared for the even larger population of deserving seniors in the future.
PROJECT NAME: Municipal Park Improvement
ESTIMATED PROJECT COSTS: $280,000 (includes 12% State Admin. Costs).
Estimated annual operations and maintenance costs upon completion are estimated at

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
A portion of Kenai Municipal Park formally served as a tent campground. Since
another use has been designated, funds are needed to upgrade property to
match its proposed use.
Kenai Municipal Park covers approximately 43 acres and is one of the oldest
parks in the City's park system. Original development dates back to the early
1970's. Although portions of the park have been upgraded throughout the years,
the interior portion of the property once containing a tent campground has not.
Currently, this area is void of any site amenities, and consequently, underused.
Besides being one of the oldest parks in Kenai, it is also one of the more heavily
used parks and most visible to the public. This is particularly true during the
personal use fishery during the month of July due to its close proximity to the
mouth of the Kenai River. Additionally, this park is adjacent to one of the largest
residential areas in Kenai and in close proximity to Sears Elementary, making it a
very convenient and accessible park.
The goal of the park improvement project is to enhance outdoor recreational
opportunities and protect significant natural and cultural resources. The plan
includes one large pavilion, kiosk/signs (including interpretive signs); 20 picnic
sites (to include tables and grills), 3,600 L.F. of trail upgrades, benches and trash
receptacles, general landscaping, and a vehicle parking lot with approximately 20
spaces.
Although once heavily forested with spruce trees, most have been removed due
to spruce bark beetle infestation. Other than the remaining spruce trees, a
healthy population of aspen, birch, and cottonwood trees exist, along with native
Alaska flora unique to this particular area. In addition to tree removal and
significant pruning of remaining spruce trees, the beach access trail was recently
upgraded, parking lot paved, trail added, and three (3) group picnic areas
installed near the restrooms.

Kenai City Hall HVAC System Upgrade
ESTIMATED PROJECT COSTS:
5150.000 total project costs. Annual maintenance and operations costs may be minor due
to the efficient operation of the total system.
POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES:
General Fund
The project consists of the installation of digital control equipment and general system
modifications for the improved operation of the existing heating and ventilating system.
The improvements would enable better system control, provide more efficient winter
heating, and add summer cooling. The project was estimated in 2001 at approximately
$105,000. Project plans and specifications have been prepared. Bids for construction are
on hold until funding is available.
ESTIMATED PROJECT COSTS: $82,000
Estimated annual operations and maintenance costs upon completion are estimated at
$500.
POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES: Tony Hawk Foundation ($25,000) and
Daubenspeck Fund ($57,000) or General Fund.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The skate park at some time in the future could be upgraded to include different
ramps and site amenities, namely a half -pipe. New and appealing features, such
as the half -pipe, would ensure long-term use and interest in the park.
The present site was constructed large enough (120' x 90') so that it could
someday accommodate additional features.

V•PROJECT
PROJECT NAME: NEW LOCAL WATER WELLS FOR PUBLIC FACILITIES
ESTIMATED PROJECT COSTS: $72,000
POTENTIAL. FUDING SOURCES: State DEC: 50% = $36,000
City: 50% = $36,000
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: There are many areas around the city that use a large
quantity of city potable (drinking) water for non -drinking water purposes. The city is
about to start treating our municipal water system by removing arsenic, manganese, and
iron from our water at three of our wells. The water treatment plants will be expensive to
operate and maintain. We should not be using our expensive treated water for landscape
watering or equipment cooling.
This project would be to drill six individual on-site water wells to provide non -potable
water to each facility. The Kenai Multi-Puroose Facility uses municipal water for
cooling equipment to freeze the water for the ice rink when on-site water could be used.
The Citv Cemetery needs a watering system and the municipal water system is not
available at this site. The Kenai Little League. S fruit and SoccerfFootball fields and
Municinal Park could all be watered from an on-site well.
These on-site water wells could save the city money in the long tun since the water would
not have to be treated nor pumped through miles of line before it is used. The General
Fund is paying the Water & Sewer fund for water use at these areas so over time this
could be a General Fund savings.

PROJECT NAME: Leif Hansen Park Improvements
ESTIMATED PROJECT COSTS: $50,000
Engineering and design is estimated at $10.000. Estimated annual operations and
maintenance costs upon completion are estimated at $600.00.
POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES: City General Fund, smah grants.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Significant resources are expended (primarily labor) each summer in order to
water this 2 -acre park comprising of turf areas, flowerbeds, trees and shrubs.
Installing an underground sprinkler system would save time, money, and effort.
Currently, there is only one water outlet stationed at the center of the park in
which to pull from. As new plantings are added, it is becoming more difficult to
sufficiently water all areas in addition to providing evenly measured amounts of
water. Current watering practices is labor intensive and inefficient from a water
conservation standpoint.
The project is relatively simple, involving the installation of a central control
panel, trenching and installation of plastic pipes, sprinkler heads, and wiring. The
number of sprinkler heads, type, and location are all engineered prior to
installation. Yearly maintenance costs involve re -adjusting the sprinkler heads,
replacing heads as necessary, general troubleshooting, and winterizing the
system.
The advantages of this type of system include:
1. Allows more time dedicated toward other tasks since you don't have labor
involved in moving hoses, setting and monitoring sprinklers.
2. Lower water usage (more efficient).
3. Lawn and plantings receive evenly measured amounts of water.
4. Protects landscape investment.
PROJECT NAME: Cunningham Park Improvements
ESTIMATED PROJECT COSTS: $35,000
Estimated annual operations and maintenance costs upon completion are estimated at
$250.00.
POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES: Kenai River Sport Fishing Association
($17,500) & City General Fund ($17,500)
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Cunningham Park is very heavily used throughout the summer fishing season,
particularly during the silver salmon fishery. This site was upgraded in 1999 with
funding from the Kenai River Sport Fishing Association. Upgrades included bank
stabilization, gravel paths, and elevated walkway with steel grating. Increased
accessibility and legal public access to the river makes this park a very desirable
destination for many locals and visitors alike.
A small picnic shelter would complement this park nicely. In addition to a small
shelter, project would include two benches and a bear -proof trash receptacle.

CITY *'; KENAI, ALASKA
PROJECT NAME: Municipal Park improvement
ESTIMATED PROJCECT COSTS: $280,000 (includes 12% State Admin. Costs).
Estimated annual operations and maintenance costs upon completion are estimated at
$2,000. This would primarily include routine operational costs such as mowing,
irrigation, facility cleaning, trail grooming and non -routine maintenance expenses.
POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES: Land and Water Conservation Funding
(50/50 matching grant) and City General Fund.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
A portion of Kenai Municipal Park formally served as a tent campground. Since
another use has been designated, funds are needed to upgrade property to
match its proposed use.
Kenai Municipal Park covers approximately 43 acres and is one of the oldest
parks in the City's park system. Original development dates back to the early
1970's. Although portions of the park have been upgraded throughout the years,
the interior portion of the property once containing a tent campground has not
except for tree and brush clearing and a 350 L.F. trail addition along with 3 picnic
pads (with grills and tables) completed this summer. Last season's addition of
the paved parking lot and beach access trail upgrade was a tremendous park
upgrade. Most of the park area, however, is still void of any site amenities, and
consequently, underused.
Besides being one of the oldest parks in Kenai, it is also one of the more heavily
used parks (shelter and play area) and most visible to the public. This is
particularly true during the personal use fishery during the month of July due to
its close proximity to the mouth of the Kenai River. Additionally, this park is
adjacent to one of the largest residential areas in Kenai and in close proximity to
Sears Elementary, making it a very convenient and accessible park.
The goal of the park improvement project is to enhance outdoor recreational
opportunities and protect significant natural and cultural resources. The plan
includes an additional pavilion, kiosk/signs (including interpretive signs); 20 picnic
sites (to include tables and grills), 3,600 L.F. of trail upgrades, benches and trash
receptacles, general landscaping, and a vehicle parking lot with approximately 20
spaces.

City of Kenai
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, AMENDING
THE GENERAL POLICY REGARDING COSTS TO BE ASSESSED TO BENEFITED
PROPERTIES IN SPECIAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS.
WHEREAS, by KMC 16.10.070, the City Council has the authority to determine the
percentage of costs to be assessed in special assessment districts; and,
WHEREAS, reduced State financing for public improvement projects makes it
necessary that more costs be assessed to benefited properties; and,
WHEREAS, citizens desiring to form assessment districts have a need to know in
advance of the petitioning process the portion of the project that is likely to be
assessed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI,
ALASKA, that:
Section 1: The policy of the Council regarding percentages of costs to be
assessed in special assessment districts is a general rule. It is meant to
inform the City administration and citizens of a usual rule to be followed,
and it applies to all types of improvements. The Council reserves the
right to apply percentages different from those that follow based upon
unique characteristics of each project. It is not implied that the Council
must form an assessment district with each project. The policy is
subject to all State. City Charter and Kenai Municipal Code requirements
and restrictions.
Section 2: In developed areas that include numerous property owners,
each benefiting somewhat equally, the assessment rate will be 50% of all
eligible costs. The Council intends that all eligible costs include the
entire project costs defined by KMC 16.05.090.
Section 3: In partially developed or undeveloped areas that include one
or a small number or property owners, the assessment rate will be 100%
of all eligible costs. This rate will apply in situations where the owner or
owners are essentially acting as developers with the intent of marketing
and profiting from the developed land. The owners may have to waive
the limitations placed on assessments, as provided by KMC 16.05.010(b)
and Section 7-3 of the City Charter. In addition, the City may require
cash or other assets to be advanced or pledged to the City as security
that the assessments will be paid. Generally, the unsecured portion of
the assessments should not exceed 30% of the cost of the improvements.
Resolution No. 2003-02
Page 2 of 2
The City may require that the owner or owners enter into a contractual
relationship with the City to ensure payment of the assessments.
PASSED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, this second day of
January, 2003.

Dear Alaskan:
Enclosed you will find the State Fiscal Year 2006 (SFY06) Alaska Clean Water Fund
(ACWF) and Alaska Drinking Water Fund (ADWF) draft Intended Use Plans (IUPs) with
the proposed priority lists for projects eligible for loans for this next year. These programs
provide low-interest loans to finance sewerage, solid waste and drinking water projects.
These draft plans are provided for your review and comment on the proposed uses and
priorities of the Funds. The draft IUD's and project lists are also available on our web at:
httr)://www.dec.state.ak.us/water/muniloan/acwfiuP06.odf. The comment period will end on
August 26, 2005.
Since last year's IUP publication, we have lowered the interest rates for ACWF loans. A
20 -year term loan with an interest rate of 2.5% is now at 1.5%. This new interest rate will
add further savings to our already lower than market interest rates. Additionally, we are
proposing to do a fund transfer from the ACWF to the ADWF. This transfer will greatly
increase available project funds in the ADWF program.
Please use this as an opportunity to provide input on the loan programs. If there is
something we should do differently or could do better, please let us know. Please write or
e-mail either:

Water Treatment System at Well Houses No. 1, 2, 3 and 4
This project will furnish and install water treatment systems at each of the well houses. This project
will also remove arsenic, color, iron and manganese.
Willow Street Rehabilitation
This project will replace approximately 2,500 ft. of water main with ductile iron pipe. A fifty year old
asbestos cement (AC) main has failed and caused significant street and personal property damage.
Public health and property will be protected with the new water main installation.
Garden Terrace Water System Upgrade, Phase II
The Garden Terrace Water system, maintained by the Borough has been plagued with poor quality,
highly corrosive and difficult to treat groundwater wells. This project will provide new water mains in
the subdivision to replace those wells with safe and reliable water from the City of Wasilla's water
system.
I • ;1 • I • 1 1
Water Distribution System
This project will construct a new pumping plant for the community water distribution system. The
pumping plant must be co -located within the community power plant in order to provide for continual
surveillance and a source of heat to inject into the water to keep it from freezing The existing power
plant will be decommissioned and equipment inside the Airport Runway Protection Zone must be
dismantled. By moving and upgrading the water distribution system pumping plant, we will be able to
add citizens not currently served by a piped system to the distribution system. If the pumping plant
were left in its existing location, without the ability to heat, the entire community water system would
be in jeopardy of freezing. In addition, modem SCADA monitoring equipment instrumentation will be
added.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NARRATIVE
PROJECT NAME: Municipal Park Improvement
ESTIMATED PROJCECT COSTS: (includes 12% State Admin. Costs).
Estimated annual operations and maintenance costs upon completion are estimated at
$2,000. This would primarily include routine operational costs such as mowing,
irrigation, facility cleaning, trail grooming and non -routine maintenance expenses.
POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES: Land and Water Conservation Funding
(50/50 matching grant) and City General Fund.
A portion of Kenai Municipal Park formally served as a tent campground. Since
another use has been designated, funds are needed to upgrade property to
match its proposed use.
Kenai Municipal Park covers approximately 43 acres and is one of the oldest
parks in the City's park system. Original development dates back to the early
1970's. Although portions of the park have been upgraded throughout the years,
the interior portion of the property once containing a tent campground has not
except for tree and brush clearing and a 350 L. F. trail addition along with 3 picnic
pads (with grills and tables) completed this summer. Last season's addition of
the paved parking lot and beach access trail upgrade was a tremendous park
upgrade. Most of the park area, however, is still void of any site amenities, and
consequently, underused.
Besides being one of the oldest parks in Kenai, it is also one of the more heavily
used parks (shelter and play area) and most visible to the public. This is
particularly true during the personal use fishery during the month of July due to
its close proximity to the mouth of the Kenai River. Additionally, this park is
adjacent to one of the largest residential areas in Kenai and in close proximity to
Sears Elementary, making it a very convenient and accessible park.
The goal of the park improvement project is to enhance outdoor recreational
opportunities and protect significant natural and cultural resources. The plan
includes an additional pavilion, kiosk/signs (including interpretive signs); 20 picnic
sites (to include tables and grills), 3,600 L.F. of trail upgrades, benches and trash
receptacles, general landscaping, and a vehicle parking lot with approximately 20
spaces.

This project would provide a dependable water supply for fire protection in the VIP
Subdivision, which is located across the Kenai River estuary over the Bridge Access
road. The VIP subdivision is not connected to city water and, therefore, fire protection is
now provided by shuttling water from hydrants located on the opposite side of the
Bridge. Providing a reliable non -potable water supply could include a well and possibly
a building, fire pump, and a hydrant.
