The Imagine Kenai 2030 Comprehensive Plan ("Comprehensive Plan") identified a Land Use objective to review existing zoning and subdivision codes to determine if they address current and future land uses adequately. During a routine review, it was noted by Planning Department staff that the Airport Light Industrial (ALI) Zone was not included in the primary list under Kenai Municipal Code (KMC) 14.20.030 - Establishment of Zones and Official Map. Ordinance 2884-2016 was recommended for approval by the Planning & Zoning Commission and ultimately enacted by Council in May 2016. This Ordinance established the ALI Zone, and established land uses compatible with the Kenai Municipal Airport. However, it did not amend KMC 14.20.030 - Establishment of Zones and Official Map at that time. In an effort to make the Kenai Zoning Code clear and understandable, we respectfully ask for your consideration of this amendment to reduce potential future confusion from residents, developers, or Administration.

This memo requests Council's approval to contract with Peninsula Pumping for pumping and disposal services for the Wastewater Treatment Plant Digester. The construction project for the digester blowers originally included the pumping, disposal and cleaning of the digester. During cost negotiations, it was determined that the City could complete this work at a lower cost and it was removed from the contract. We determined that contracting Peninsula Pumping to remove and dispose of the wastewater from the digester is in the best interest of the City. They are the only company with an approved disposal site on the peninsula. We will use Peninsula Pumping to remove the wastewater before cleaning the tank with City employees. We are estimating 250,000-300,000 gallons will be pumped from the digester. The cost will be $0.25 per gallon during normal business hours and $0.35 per gallon after hours if needed. We are requesting a contract for $80,000 to cover expected expenses and contingency. Funding is available for this project in the Wastewater Facility Capital Project Fund. KMC 7.15.070(b)(6) allows the City to make purchases by direct negotiation if found to be in the best interest of the City and sufficient information is available to ensure a fair and reasonable price. Our review of options available determined that this purchase is in the best interest of the City and the pricing is fair and reasonable. The Public Works Department recommends contracting Peninsula Pumping for pumping and disposal of wastewater services in the amount of $80,000. Award of this agreement is in the best interest of the City. Council's approval is respectfully requested. KENAI CITY OF KENAI RESOLUTION NO. 2026-56 Sponsored by: Administration A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE RENEWAL OF THE CITY'S CASELLE SOFTWARE LICENSING AND SUPPORT, AND CORRESPONDING PURCHASE ORDER FOR ACCOUNTING, PAYROLL AND HUMAN RESOURCES OPERATIONS. WHEREAS, the City of Kenai utilizes Caselle software to support essential accounting payroll, and human resources operations; and, WHEREAS, adequate funding in the operational budget in the Finance Department is available; and, WHEREAS, KMC 7.15.070(b)(1) allows the City to make a purchase for contractual services which can be furnished only by a single dealer; and, WHEREAS, Caselle provides an established platform that supports continuity of the City's critical financial and administrative functions; and, WHEREAS, the continued use of the existing Caselle platform allows the City to retain employee knowledge and experience with the system and avoid significant employee retraining and transition costs; and, WHEREAS, contracting with another vendor would require the migration of historical financial, payroll, human resources and operational records creating additional risks related to data integrity, accessibility, reconciliation and continuity of records; and, WHEREAS, the City desires to renew the Caselle software licensing and support for a one-year term at a cost of $36,937.92; and, WHEREAS, renewing the existing Caselle software licensing and support is in the best interest of the City and provides operational continuity while avoiding the significant costs and risks associated with replacing the existing system.

This memo requests Council's approval of the annual renewal of Caselle Software Licensing and Support. The City currently utilizes Caselle software to support essential accounting, payroll, and human resources operations. The system is an integral part of the City's financial and administrative processes and supports the continuity of these critical functions. Continuing with the existing Caselle platform allows the City to retain employee knowledge and experience with the system and avoid significant employee retraining and transition costs. If the City were to go with another vendor, migrating historical financial, payroll, human resources and operational records creates additional risks related to data integrity, accessibility, reconciliation and continuity of records. This renewal provides the operational continuity while avoiding the significant costs and risks associated with replacing the existing system. KMC 7.15.070 (b)(1) allows the City to make purchases for contractual services which can be furnished only by a single dealer. Award of the Caselle software licensing and support renewal is in the best interest of the City. Council's approval is respectfully requested.

As the District works with community partners to establish a sustainable funding model for our community pools, we are seeking financial support from organizations and municipalities that share our commitment to keeping these important community resources available. Given the City of Kenai's expressed interest in supporting the continued operation of the Kenai Pool, we respectfully request a financial contribution of $46,400 to help offset utility costs associated with operating the facility for Fiscal Year 2027, July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The City's support will help maintain the current level of public access to the Kenai Pool and preserve opportunities for swimming, swim instruction, recreation, and water safety for Kenai residents.

With the City's support, KPBSD will maintain community access to the Kenai Pool, including: • A minimum of 8.5 hours per week of lap and open swim opportunities • A minimum of 6 hours per week of swim lessons • Saturday pool rentals for community groups and individuals, in addition to the lap and open swim and swim lesson hours identified above Exceptions may occur due to unforeseen maintenance issues, holidays, staffing shortages, or major swim meets.

If the coach is not certified and an additional District lifeguard is required, the rate will be $125 per hour. We value the longstanding partnership between the City of Kenai and the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District and sincerely appreciate your consideration of this request. The City's contribution will help the District maintain the current level of community access while sharing the financial responsibility for operating a facility that benefits both our students and the broader Kenai community.

ENACTED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, THIS 2ND DAY OF SEPTEMBER 2026. ATTEST: Michelle M. Saner, MMC, City Clerk Henry H. Knackstedt, Mayor Introduced: August 19, 2026 Enacted: September 2, 2026 Effective: See Section 5 New Text Underlined; [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED] L I000, City of Kenai MEMORANDUM TO: K E N 4 210 Fidalgo Ave, Kenai, AK 99611-7794 1907.283.75351 www.kenai.city Council Members FROM: Mayor Knackstedt and Council Member Kisena DATE: August 11, 2026 SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3542-2026 - Providing for the Submission to the Qualified Voters of the City of Kenai, at the Regular Election to be Held on November 3, 2026, the Question of Enacting Kenai Municipal Code, Section 7.05.031- Residential Property Tax Exemption, to Establish a Residential Property Tax Exemption in the Amount of $75,000. During the August 5, 2026, City Council meeting, public testimony was provided requesting the City Council consider implementation of a $75,000 residential property tax exemption. After Council discussion a work session was scheduled for August 19, 2026, to discuss the issue further. We requested the administration prepare, for Council's consideration and discussion, the necessary legislation to place the issue on the ballot for voter consideration. Alaska Statutes (AS) 29.45.050(a) authorizes a municipality, by ordinance ratified by the voters, to exclude or partially exempt residential property from taxation up to a maximum of $75,000 of assessed value. Under the proposed code provisions within the Ordinance, the first $75,000 of assessed value of qualifying residential property would be exempt from the City's property tax levy. The proposed exemption would apply in addition to the mandatory $150,000 senior citizen or $150,000 disabled veteran property tax exemptions authorized by AS 29.45.030(e). The proposed exemption will provide tax relief to qualifying taxpayers who occupy the property as their primary residence. An estimated 1,435 property owners will be eligible for the proposed exemption exempting an estimated $101,655,600 in property value, including $3,346,500 of disabled veteran exemptions (49), $35,037,400 of senior exemptions (533), and $63,271,700 of eligible property exemptions that do not qualify for the senior or disabled veteran exemption (853). The total annual financial impact to the City, at its current tax rate of 4.35 mills, is estimated to be $442,202 with the maximum savings to an individual property owner of $326.25. In order to qualify for the exemption, residents must apply through the Borough for its residential property tax exemption, this includes those that are receiving the senior citizen or disabled veteran property tax exemption through the Borough that may not have previously applied for the residential property tax exemption. The Borough assessor's determination of qualification for its residential property tax exemption would apply to the City's residential property tax exemption.
