On August 14, 2026, the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, in cooperation with the State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation released a new solicitation for the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) Grant Program. The grant opportunity allows eligible applicants to request up to $250,000 per funding cycle to address eligible community needs. The City of Kenai is an eligible applicant for this program, as a home -rule municipality. The proposed project would include the installation of new playground equipment at Old Town Park. This park improvement is currently in the Capital Improvement Plan for design in FY2027 and construction in FY2028. This park was also mentioned as needing improvements by members of the public during the development of the Parks & Recreation Master Plan. This grant does require a 50% or 1:1 match and has a federal funding cap of $250,000. The Capital Improvement Plan had a value of $100,000 for design in FY 2027 and $800,000 for construction in FY 2028 utilizing City funds. If Council chooses to accept the Grant upon award, it would require a grant match of up to $250,000. Thank you for your consideration.

WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed a preliminary plat to Micah Subdivision Parks Replat on September 23, 2026, and recommended approval subject to certain conditions; and, WHEREAS, Planning and Zoning Commission Resolution No. PZ2026-30, passed on September 23, 2026, recommending that the City Council approve exceptions to KMC 14.10.080(c), Minimum Improvements Required, waiving the requirement that the property owners of Micah Subdivision Parks Replat install portions of the Rainbow Drive and Misty Haven Lane rights -of -way; and, WHEREAS, KMC 14.10.090, Variations and Exceptions allows for the City Council to vary or modify the minimum subdivision requirements, after a report by the Planning and Zoning Commission so that the subdivider may develop the property in a reasonable manner while at the same time protecting the public welfare and interests of the City, surrounding areas, and general intent and spirit of the development requirements when the tract to be subdivided is of unusual shape or size, or is surrounded by such development or unusual conditions that strict application of the improvement requirements would result in real difficulties, substantial hardship, or injustice; and, WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission Resolution PZ2026-30 provided substantial findings to support the requested exceptions; and, WHEREAS, granting an exception to the requirement of KMC 14.10.080(c) requiring that all streets and public ways meet minimum construction standards for Rainbow Drive and Misty Haven Lane is reasonable as the Planning & Zoning Commission found that the strict application of the requirements in KMC 14.10.080 would result in a real difficulty, substantial hardship, and injustice due to additional cost for construction, the lack of adjoining roads, and lack of construction of the eastern half of Misty Haven Lane in this location; and, WHEREAS, pursuant to KMC 14.10.080(g)(1), a covenant will be added to the plat stating that proposed lot 155A will be subject to assessment for any of the improvements required herein when installed at a future time. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA: Section 1. That pursuant to KMC 14.10.090, the City grants an exception to the construction of the Rainbow Drive and Misty Haven Lane rights -of -way based on the findings above. Section 2. That a plat note be added stating that Lot 155A will be subject to assessment for any improvements required by Kenai Municipal Code 14.10.080(g)(1) when installed at a future time for the installation of Rainbow Drive and Misty Haven Lane. Section 3. That this Resolution takes effect immediately upon passage. PASSED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, THIS 7T" DAY OF OCTOBER, 2026. New Text Underlined; [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED] Resolution No. 2026-65 Page 2 of 2 Page 8 Henry H. Knackstedt, Mayor ATTEST: Michelle M. Saner, MMC, City Clerk New Text Underlined; [DELETED TEXT BRACKETED] L I000, City of Kenai MEMORANDUM K E N 4 210 Fidalgo Ave, Kenai, AK 99611-7794 1907.283.75351 www.kenai.city TO: Mayor Knackstedt and Council Members THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager THROUGH: Kevin Buettner, Planning Director FROM: Brandon McElrea, Land Management Analyst DATE: September 24, 2026 SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2026-65 - Granting Street Improvement Exceptions to Kenai Municipal Code 14.10.080, Minimum Improvements, for Micah Subdivision Parks Replat Pursuant to Kenai Municipal Code 14.10.090, Variations and Exceptions. This resolution requests an exception from the Council for a road construction exemption for Micah Subdivision Parks Replat in accordance with Kenai Municipal Code (KMC) 14.10.090. At the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting of September 23, 2026, the Commission considered a request from the applicant to grant an exception to the requirements for the construction of a portion of the Rainbow Drive and Misty Haven Lane rights -of -way. The Planning & Zoning Commission found the cost of developing a pioneer road, as defined in City of Kenai Road Design Standards Manual, would constitute a real difficulty and substantial hardship. This was largely based on testimony from the applicant that the potential cost to construct the road segments would cost approximately $60,000 and noting that other portions of the Misty Haven Lane right-of-way has been accepted without requiring construction of the platted road during previous subdivisions. The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval of the exception. If this exception is granted by Council, the City would potentially preserve its interest in future right-of-way development by adding a plat note, as required by Kenai Municipal Code. This plat note would state that Lot 155A will be subject to assessment for any improvements required by KMC 14.10.080(g)(1) when installed at a future time for the installation of Rainbow Drive and Misty Haven Lane. The Administration does not recommend approval of the exception, as future developments in unsubdivided government lots to the north will potentially be adversely affected by not having reasonable access to the remainder of the City road system. Currently, the lots to the north of the proposed replat will require access along either Rainbow Drive or Misty Haven Lane. Not having a portion of either Rainbow Drive or Misty Haven Lane constructed to City standards will be a detriment to future developments in this area. The next nearest developed right-of-way in this Page 9 area is Aliak Drive far to the north. An extension of Kaknu Way could potentially be built from Swires Avenue or Highbush Lane, but this is only platted on one lot near the school and is not currently built. The construction of pioneer roads was included in the City of Kenai Road Design Standards to provide property owners the opportunity to provide access to their property while not being required to construct complete roads that likely would provide benefit to multiple property owners at the expense of a single property owner. Pioneer roads are an incremental step to the construction of roads, to be accepted by the City for maintenance, and will promote development of land in the City. Thank you for your consideration.

Jeanne Keaton, Chair AT: Wv � L n arks, Deputy City Clerk 7/ STAFF REPORT K E � , `� PLANNING &ZONING DEPARTMENT � i i a � TO: Planning and Zoning Commission THROUGH: Kevin Buettner, Planning Director FROM: Brandon McElrea, Land Management Analyst DATE: September 15, 2026 SUBJECT: Resolution No. PZ2026-30 — Preliminary Plat — Micah Subdivision Parks Replat Request The applicant is proposing a preliminary plat to replat Lot 156B, Micah Subdivision, Lots 1, 2, & 3, Parks Subdivision, and Government Lot 155, Township 6 North, Range 11 West, Section 34, Seward Meridian Staff Adopt Resolution No. PZ2026-30 recommending approval of Recommendation Preliminary Plat — Micah Subdivision Parks Replat, creating two (2) lots, one (1) of 3.21 acres and one (1) of 1.075 acres. Applicant: Jason Schollenberg, PLS 10535 Katrina Blvd. Ninilchik, AK 99639 Property Owners: Lacey & Zachary Rininger Robert J. Arnold Living Trust Legal Descriptions: Lot 156B, Micah Subdivision, Government Lot 155, Township 6 North, Range 11 West, Section 34, Seward Meridian and Lots 1, 2, & 3, Parks Subdivision, Township 6 North, Range 11 West, Section 34, Seward Meridian Property Addresses: 1605 Rainbow Drive & 108 Glacier Street 1511 Lawton Drive, 103 & 105 Glacier Street KPB Parcel Nos.: 04522072 & 04522016 04522022,04522023,04522024 Zoning District: Rural Residential (RR) Land Use Plan: Low Density Residential (SR) Surrounding Uses: Improved and Vacant Rural Residential SUMMARY A preliminary plat has been submitted from Jason Schollenberg, PLS on behalf of the property owners for a replat of Lot 156B, Micah Subdivision, Lots 1, 2, & 3, Parks Subdivision, and Government Lot 155, Township 6 North, Range 11 West, Section 34, Seward Meridian, and vacating approximately 560.6 feet of the 30-foot-wide Glacier Street right-of-way (ROW) to create two (2) parcels. Kenai Municipal Code (KMC) Chapter 14.10 Subdivision Regulations states preliminary plats or replats must first be submitted to the City for review and provide recommendation to the Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning Commission. Pursuant to KMC 14.10.090 Variations and Exceptions, the applicant has requested an exception to KMC 14.10.080 Minimum Improvements Required, to not install portions of the Rainbow Drive and Misty Haven Lane rights -of -way dedicated in this plat. ANALYSIS The proposed replat meets the minimum lot size requirement of 20,000 square feet (= 0.47 acre) for the Rural Residential (RR) zoning district. The size of proposed lot 155A is approximately 139,828 square feet (3.210 acres). The size of proposed lot 1A is approximately 46,827 square feet (1.075 acres) City water and wastewater are not available in the area of proposed Lot 155A; however, private water and wastewater have been installed on -site and are subject to the regulatory requirements of the State of Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC). City water and wastewater are available along the southern boundary of proposed Lot 1A, adjacent to Lawton Drive and are subject to the regulatory requirements of the City of Kenai Public Works Department. Direct access to proposed Lot 1A is provided via Lawton Drive, a maintained paved City road. Direct access to proposed lot 155A is provided via Rainbow Drive, an unmaintained gravel City road. The portions of ROW along Rainbow Drive and Misty Haven Lane to be dedicated to this plat were granted by BLM Land Patent 50-65-0236, dated October 12, 1964, and are continuations of these unimproved rights -of -way. The approximately 560.6-foot by 30-foot Glacier Street ROW was granted to the City of Kenai at the Micah Subdivision of Government Lot 156 and the Parks Subdivision of Government Lot 177, and do not reflect a Patented ROW (see attachments; Patents 50-65-0239 & 50-67-0347)). The Kenai City Council must declare the Glacier Street ROW not needed for a public purpose and approve the vacation of this right-of-way as shown on the preliminary plat. The applicant has asked for an exception to the minimum improvement requirements affecting proposed Lot 155A, requesting to not install those portions of Rainbow Drive and Misty Haven Lane fronting proposed Lot 155A, pursuant to KMC 14.10.090 Variations and Exceptions, which states: "Whenever the tract to be subdivided is of such unusual size or shape or is surrounded by such development or unusual conditions that the strict application of the requirements contained in these regulations would result in real difficulties, substantial hardship or injustice, the City Council, after report by the Planning Commission, may vary or modify such requirements so that the subdivider may develop his property in a reasonable manner, but so that at the same time, the public welfare and interests of the City and surrounding areas are protected and the general intent and spirit of these regulations preserved". Please see applicant submitted "Exhibit A". Resolution No. PZ2026-30 Preliminary Plat Micah Subdivision Parks Replat Page 2 of 5 The City of Kenai Public Works Department has reviewed the preliminary plat and is amenable to abandoning the Glacier Street ROW. Existing Rainbow Drive and Misty Haven Lane are both unmaintained City ROW and possess portions of what now would be considered Pioneer Roads in the Street Design Standards Manual, but there has been no verification of the quality or construction of these roads. Rainbow Drive is accessed from a City maintained portion of Highbush Lane and City maintenance responsibilities end at this intersection with Rainbow Drive. For Rainbow Drive to be maintained, it would need to be constructed to a minimum of Residential standards. It is standard requirements for property owners dedicating new ROW to be required to design and construct roads through the new ROW dedicated. Development of City roads does provide for future access and development of lots. Pursuant to KMC 14.10.080(g)(1), if approval of the requested exception recommended to Kenai City Council, the plat "must contain a covenant that all of the lots in any subdivision, as defined in this chapter, will be subject to assessment for any of the improvements required herein when installed at a future time by the City". The Fire Marshal and Building Official have reviewed the preliminary replat and have no comments. During the field survey of the subject lots, it was discovered that the existing improvements encroach on the building setback and utility easement, thus making the current improvement a non -conforming structure. The building file has been flagged, and no construction or modification will be allowed, that will increase the non -conformity of this structure. Staff finds that the preliminary plat for a replat of Lot 156B, Micah Subdivision, Lots 1, 2, & 3, Parks Subdivision, and Government Lot 155, Township 6 North, Range 11 West, Section 34, Seward Meridian meets the following Title 14 of Kenai Municipal Code (KMC) sections and aligns with the intent of the Kenai Zoning Code. Pursuant to KMC 14.10.070 Subdivision Design Standards, the preliminary plat for subdivision, subject to the listed conditions, provides utility/access easements, provides satisfactory and desirable building sites, with the existing on -site private water and wastewater system subject to the regulatory requirements of the State of Alaska, Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC), and City water and wastewater subject to the regulatory requirements of the City of Kenai Public Works Department. 2. Pursuant to KMC 14.10.080 Minimum improvement required, the preliminary plat is a replat of a tract containing newly dedicated rights -of -way for the western half of Misty Haven Lane and the southern half of Rainbow Drive (see preliminary plat, attached to this report). Therefore, an installation agreement or completed road development will be required for the development of pioneer roads, as defined in the City of Kenai Street Design Standards manual. a. The applicant has requested an exception to this requirement pursuant to KMC 14.10.090. This request requires approval by Kenai City Council. Should Kenai City Council not approve the requested exception, the property owner will be required to either enter into an installation agreement or install the required sections of Rainbow Drive and Misty Haven Lane prior to the final plat. b. Staff finds that Rainbow Drive and Misty Haven Lane are both essential to the future development of the unimproved lots to the north of the preliminary plat.

Constructing Rainbow Drive and Misty Haven Lane would provide limited additional public development while requiring significant clearing, earthwork, and drainage improvements. • There are currently significant tree buffers along both Rainbow drive and Misty Haven Lane in the exact location the road improvements would be required. The tree buffers provide privacy between many of the lots along these rights of way. 907-306-7065 P iason(@peninsulasurveying.com 10535 Katrina Blvd. Ninilchik, AK 99639 907-567-1017 F NA CITY OF KENAI RESOLUTION NO. 2026-66 Sponsored by: Administration A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A CONTRACT AWARD FOR THE CITYWIDE PAVING DESIGN PROJECT.

The City's public noticing requirements are intended to ensure that members of the public receive timely and meaningful information regarding public hearings, land use matters, and other matters requiring public notice. As methods of accessing information have evolved, there is an opportunity to modernize the City's public noticing process while maintaining transparency and promoting meaningful public participation. The proposed ordinance would update existing public -noticing requirements to place greater emphasis on accessible, commonly used, and efficient methods of communicating information to the public. A key component of the proposed changes is the development and implementation of a dedicated public -noticing webpage on the City's existing website. A centralized online notice location would provide several benefits, including: • Improved Accessibility: Public notices would be available to the public at no cost and without requiring paid access to a particular publication. • Increased Public Awareness: Notices from different City departments could be published on a dedicated webpage that would provide a consistent location for residents, property owners, businesses, and other parties to find City notices. • Greater Efficiency: The City would have greater flexibility in publishing notices without being constrained by the publication schedule of an outside newspaper. • Reduced Costs: Public funds could be directed toward methods of notification that provide broad and convenient public access while reducing reliance on increasingly costly publication requirements, which have nearly doubled in the past two years. The proposed changes are intended to provide a more efficient, flexible, accessible, and cost- effective public -noticing process while continuing to promote transparency and meaningful opportunities for public awareness and participation.

L I000, City of Kenai MEMORANDUM K E N 4 210 Fidalgo Ave, Kenai, AK 99611-7794 1907.283.75351 www.kenai.city TO: Mayor Knackstedt and Council Members THROUGH: Scott Bloom, City Attorney FROM: Terry Eubank, City Manager DATE: September 29, 2026 SUBJECT: Authorization to File Motion to Intervene — FERC Project No. P-15423-000, DeepGreen Cook Inlet SPV, LLC City Council authorization is requested to file the attached Motion to Intervene with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) regarding DeepGreen Cook Inlet SPV, LLC's preliminary permit application for the proposed DeepGreen Cook Inlet Subsea -Compute & Infrastructure Hub, FERC Project No. P-15423-000. Intervention would allow the City to formally participate in the FERC proceeding, receive case - related information, submit comments and recommendations, and, if warranted, seek rehearing or judicial review of a final agency action. The proposed Motion expressly states that the City is not taking a position in support or in opposition to the Project. Authorization would allow the City to monitor the proceeding and evaluate potential municipal impacts as additional information becomes available. PROJECT BACKGROUND DeepGreen Cook Inlet SPV, LLC submitted an application to FERC for a preliminary permit for the proposed DeepGreen Cook Inlet Subsea -Compute & Infrastructure Hub. The proposed Project includes approximately 330 to 350 marine hydrokinetic turbines, approximately 66 modular subsea -compute facilities, an approximately 3.5-mile 115-kV hybrid power and fiber-optic subsea cable, a subsea cable landing site in the Nikiski Industrial Corridor, and associated facilities. Although the proposed facilities would not be located within the City of Kenai, the Project would be within the geographic and economic region served by the City and has the potential to affect municipal interests and resources. A preliminary permit does not authorize construction. It provides a developer priority to study a proposed project and prepare a future license application. FERC's rules allow intervention by a party with an interest that may be directly affected by the proceeding, among other bases established by 18 C.F.R. § 385.214. FERC recommends that parties intervene when they may be materially affected by the Commission's decision on a specific case or project. Intervention would preserve the City's ability opportunity to evaluate and comment on potential environmental, infrastructure, energy, transportation, fisheries, and other municipal impacts. If the Project advances to subsequent permitting or licensing proceedings, additional information could be evaluated to determine whether further participation is appropriate. Any future recommendation that the City support or oppose the Project would be presented to the City Council for consideration. The Motion identifies distinct municipal interests that may be affected by the Project that are not adequately represented by other parties. The proposed Motion to Intervene identifies several specific municipal interests that warrant the City's participation in the proceeding, including: Energy Security and Reliability. The proposed Project could generate approximately 100 megawatts of electricity, with a portion potentially available for delivery to the Alaska Railbelt Grid. The City has an interest in the Project's potential effects on regional energy supply, reliability, infrastructure, and long-term energy security. . Transportation Infrastructure. The Kenai Municipal Airport serves as a regional transportation hub, and roads serving the proposed construction area pass through the City. Construction and operation of a project of this scale could result in increased traffic and the use of heavy or specialized construction vehicles. The City has an interest in potential impacts to the Airport and the safety, capacity, operation, and maintenance of transportation infrastructure. Wild Salmon and Fisheries. The City has a specific municipal interest in the health, productivity, sustainability, and long-term viability of the Kenai Peninsula's wild salmon populations and the fisheries and communities that depend upon them. The proposed Project involves extensive marine infrastructure in Upper Cook Inlet, including marine hydrokinetic turbines and subsea facilities. The City has an interest in potential effects on marine habitat, salmon migration, salmon migration and productivity, and the fisheries and communities that depend on wild salmon. Municipal Services and Economic Development. The proposed Project may effect emergency response, economic development, environmental resources, and other municipal and community interests. Intervention would allow the City to receive timely information and participate as those potential effects are evaluated. Filing the Motion to Intervene is not expected to result in a significant fiscal impact. Continued participation could require future staff or legal work to review filings, evaluate technical information, and prepare comments or other submissions. Any substantial future expenditure or commitment of City resources would be addressed through the City's established administrative and budget processes and, when appropriate, presented to the City Council for consideration. It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City to submit the attached Motion to Intervene in FERC Project No. P-15423-000and authorize the City Manager and City Attorney, to take the actions necessary to file the Motion and participate in the proceeding on behalf of the City. This authorization would not constitute support for or opposition to the proposed Project. The purpose of intervention is to preserve the City's ability to receive information, participate in the FERC process, protect its identified municipal interests, and provide comments or recommendations as the Project develops. Thank you for your consideration. Page 2 of 2 ( 0 C'J. The City of Kenai I www.kenai.city BEFORE THE FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION In the Matter of the Application of: DeepGreen Cook Inlet Docket No. P-15423-000 CITY OF KENAI'S MOTION TO INTERVENE Pursuant to Rule 214 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's ("Commission" or "FERC") Rules of Practice and Procedure, the City of Kenai ("City") moves to intervene in the above -referenced proceeding regarding the DeepGreen Cook Inlet preliminary permit application for the proposed Subsea -Compute & Infrastructure Hub ("Project"). 18 C.F.R. § 385.214. As explained below, The City has a direct and substantial interest in this proceeding that cannot be adequately represented by any other party. In support of its motion, the City states the following: CONTACT INFORMATION Pursuant to Rule 2010 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, all filings, orders, and correspondence respecting this proceeding should be served as follows: Terry Eubank City Manager City of Kenai 210 Fidalgo Avenue Kenai, AK 99611 teubanknkenai.city 907-283-8222 Scott Bloom City Attorney City of Kenai 210 Fidalgo Avenue Kenai, AK 99611 sbloomkkenai.city 907-283-8224 City of Kenai Motion to Intervene In the Matter of the Application of DeepGreen Cook Inlet; Docket No. P-15423-000 Page 1 of 7 DESCRIPTION OF INTERVENOR City of Kenai is a home rule municipal governmental body created under the laws of the State of Alaska as a political subdivision of the State of Alaska, overseen by a legislative branch which comprises a seven -member council of representatives elected by citizens of the City of Kenai (the "council") and managed by an appointed City Manager. THE PROPOSED PROJECT On February 11, 2026, DeepGreen Cook Inlet SPV LLC ("DeepGreen") filed an application with FERC for a preliminary permit for a proposed underwater Al data center, the DeepGreen Cook Inlet Subsea -Compute & Infrastructure Hub. After additional submissions by DeepGreen on September 1, 2026, FERC issued an Acceptance Letter for Preliminary Permit Application and set deadlines. The proposed Project includes approximately 330 to 350 marine hydrokinetic turbines, approximately 66 modular subsea -compute facilities, an approximately 3.5-mile 115-kV hybrid power and fiber-optic subsea cable, a subsea cable landing site in the Nikiski Industrial Corridor, and associated appurtenant facilities. Although the proposed Project facilities identified in the Commission's notice are not located within the City's municipal boundaries, the Project is proposed within the geographic and economic region served by the City and has the potential to affect municipal interests and resources of the City. City of Kenai Motion to Intervene In the Matter of the Application of DeepGreen Cook Inlet; Docket No. P-15423-000 Page 2 of 7 THE PUBLIC INTEREST REQUIRES CITY OF KENAI'S INTERVENTION The City states the following in compliance with Rule 214(b) of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure: The City's participation is in the public interest. In this proceeding DeepGreen proposes a hybrid tidal-energy/data-center facility in the Upper Cook Inlet on the west coast of the Kenia Peninsula at the East Forelands area within the unincorporated community of Nikiski. The City has a substantial municipal interest in the development and operation of major energy, industrial, transportation, utility, and other infrastructure projects within the Kenai Peninsula region where such projects have the potential to affect City -owned infrastructure, municipal services, transportation facilities, economic development, public resources, and the health, safety, and welfare of City residents. The proposed Project is a substantial energy and industrial development involving marine energy generation, subsea infrastructure, a high -voltage transmission connection, terrestrial facilities, and a large-scale data -center operation. The Project therefore presents issues that may affect regional infrastructure, transportation, energy systems, economic development, environmental resources, emergency response, and other governmental and community interests within the City and the surrounding region. The City of Kenai has an interest in the potential implications of the proposed Project for the energy security, reliability, and economic stability of Southcentral Alaska. Southcentral Alaska has historically relied heavily on Cook Inlet natural gas for electric City of Kenai Motion to Intervene In the Matter of the Application of DeepGreen Cook Inlet; Docket No. P-15423-000 Page 3 of 7 generation and heating, and State analyses have identified declining available gas supplies and the need to develop alternative sources of energy to maintain reliable service to the Railbelt. The proposed Project could generate approximately 100 megawatts of electricity, with a portion potentially available for delivery to the Alaska Railbelt Grid, thereby presenting a potential new source of generation within the region. Given the importance of reliable and reasonably priced energy to residents, businesses, municipal services, and economic development throughout the City, the Kenai Peninsula, and Southcentral Alaska, the City has a direct municipal interest in understanding the Project's potential contribution to, impacts on, and risks to regional energy supply, electric -system reliability, utility infrastructure, and long-term energy security. The Kenai Municipal Airport serves as a regional hub for air transportation, and local roads serving the proposed construction area pass through the City of Kenai. The potential use of these transportation systems during both construction and operation of the proposed Project presents a direct municipal interest in understanding potential impacts to the capacity, safety, operation, maintenance, and long-term infrastructure needs of the City's transportation systems and other regional transportation facilities serving the Project area. The City has an interest in ensuring that potential transportation impacts, including increased traffic, heavy or specialized construction vehicles, and associated demands on local infrastructure, are adequately evaluated as the Project proceeds through the regulatory and permitting process. The City has a specific and substantial municipal interest in the health, productivity, sustainability, and long-term viability of the Kenai Peninsula's wild salmon populations City of Kenai Motion to Intervene In the Matter of the Application of DeepGreen Cook Inlet; Docket No. P-15423-000 Page 4 of 7 and the fisheries and communities that depend upon them. Wild salmon are integral to the City's commercial, sport, personal -use, and educational fisheries and contribute materially to the City's economy, food security, cultural traditions, recreational opportunities, and quality of life. The City is home to commercial fish processing and cannery operations, world -class sport fishing opportunities, and a significant personal -use fishery. The City therefore has a direct municipal interest in maintaining the health and sustainability of the wild salmon resources that support these fisheries and the associated economic, recreational, cultural, and community activities. The proposed Project involves extensive marine infrastructure in Upper Cook Inlet, including marine hydrokinetic turbines and subsea facilities. Because wild salmon utilize Cook Inlet and adjacent marine and freshwater environments throughout their life cycles, the potential effects of the Project on aquatic resources, marine habitat, salmon migration, salmon productivity, and the ecological conditions supporting wild salmon are matters of legitimate municipal concern to the City. The City's interest in wild salmon is not merely an abstract interest in environmental protection. The health and sustainability of wild salmon directly relate to municipal interests in economic development, public services, community welfare, recreation, food security, and the economic and social vitality of the City. Development and operation of the proposed facilities may have regional transportation, utility, emergency response, economic -development, environmental, fisheries, and infrastructure implications that extend beyond the immediate Project site. The City has a legitimate governmental interest in information regarding the Project, City of Kenai Motion to Intervene In the Matter of the Application of DeepGreen Cook Inlet; Docket No. P-15423-000 Page 5 of 7 evaluating potential impacts on City interests, participating in the development of the administrative record, and communicating the City's concerns and recommendations to the Commission as the Project progresses. The City seeks to participate in its governmental and municipal capacity to protect specific municipal interests that may be affected by the Project and by subsequent proceedings concerning the Project. No other party can adequately represent City's interests. Given the City's interests in this proceeding, granting its motion to intervene is in the public interest. STATEMENT OF POSITION At this stage, City of Kenai does not take a position on the Project. Additional technical data or information, as well as additional information regarding potential environmental, infrastructure and/or cultural impacts are needed regarding the Project. City of Kenai seeks to intervene in the public interest to ensure that it receives sufficient notice and is afforded the opportunity to comment, as necessary, regarding the Project as more details about the project become available. V. CONCLUSION City of Kenai has a substantial interest in this proceeding due to the fact that the Project is proposed to be located nearby relying on or affecting or potentially affecting the City's infrastructure, economy, culture and social services. City of Kenai respectfully requests that the Commission grant City of Kenai's Motion to Intervene in the DeepGreen Cook Inlet Subsea- Compute & Infrastructure Hub Docket No. P-15423-000.

Willow Street, Suite 3, Kenai, AK Page 3 of 3 The Cook Inlet Regional Citizens Advisory Council held its regular meeting Friday, September 11th in Homer. The Council received a number of updates and reports from industry and agency partners, including Todd Paxton, General Manager of Alaska Response Corporation (formerly CISPRI). Mr. Paxton explained the recent branding change at his organization, as they attempt to broaden their service base beyond Cook Inlet. He explained that the changing economics of the Cook Inlet basin provide ARC an opportunity to expand its partnerships beyond the region and in turn, provide potentially new revenue streams that will help ARC invest in new equipment in order to maintain its readiness. We appreciate ARC's continued commitment to safe and effective spill response in Cook Inlet and applaud efforts to maintain and grow its response capacities. Lieutenant Commander Abbie Lyons, United States Coast Guard, addressed the Council on behalf of Captain Joel Carse, Commander, Sector Western Alaska and U.S. Arctic. Capt. Carse assumed his current command in July and since, has toured various locations and facilities throughout the Sector's Area of Responsibility (AOR), including a meeting with CIRCAC staff in Kenai and participation in drills and exercises with Hilcorp and Marathon. Lt. Cdr. Lyons also updated the Council on an oversight within the Coast Guard Authorization Act regarding inspection requirements for Vessels Of Opportunity (VOO). In the resulting Coast Guard Work Instruction, an exemption was carved out for Prince William Sound, but not Cook Inlet, for vessel inspection requirements for VOOs. This issue was discussed and deliberated leading up to the 2025 Coast Guard Authorization Act by the Alaska oil spill response community, both RCACs, and the Coast Guard. The required inspections could severely hamper local oil spill response efforts because inspected towing vessels are in short supply in Alaska and spill response operations rely heavily on uninspected VOO's to carry out operations such as deploying boom, skimmers, or towing small barges. Lt. Cdr. Lyons stated Sector Anchorage was eager to correct this oversight and looked forward to working with CIRCAC to amend the language of the Work Instruction. CIRCAC staff will remain engaged with the Coast Guard to ensure the plan's language does not the reduce response readiness for our Area of Concern. CIRCAC Director of Science and Research, Susan Saupe, provided a wrap-up of the 2026 fieldwork season. One of our longterm projects has been assessing Macrosystis (giant) kelp expansion around Kodiak Island. Since 2002, CIRCAC has been tracking the expansion of giant kelp into areas that have traditionally supported bull kelp. Bull kelp is the predominate canopy kelp in the region, and provides habitat, protection, and food for aquatic and marine mammal life. This summer, CIRCAC led a multi -agency effort to collect imagery and other physical data to better understand the spread of giant kelp and begin tracking what those changes could mean for the regional environment. The Council also received an update from the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservati Page s1 regarding the reported sheen in Cook Inlet on August 24th. A light sheen was identified in the northern Trading Bay Unit, near the Hilcorp-owned, inactive Spark platform. Initial investigation and site inspections found no further release. On September 9th, the outfall line from the Granite Point Tank Farm (GPTF) was restarted as part of the incremental process of the investigation and restart of operations. Throughout this process ARC's Oil Spill Recovery Vessel (OSRV) Perseverance was on scene as a precautionary measure. Preliminary tests of the fluid to be discharged were completed (with negative results) and approximately three hours into the restart process, a small, light sheen was identified at the southeast corner of the Spark Platform. The outfall line was immediately shut in and the OSRV Perseverance deployed recovery equipment. Staff will continue to monitor operations/ investigation. The Council's next meeting is scheduled for December 3rd and 4th in Anchorage.

This memo requests Council's approval to award a contract for the Mission Avenue Erosion Control Project to Peninsula Construction, Inc. The project was released for bidding and no bids were received for the project. The City contacted Peninsula Construction, reviewed the construction documents with them and met on site to review the work. The associated cost of $98,800 is a time and expense cost to relocate the water service and perform additional erosion mitigation as able. KMC 7.15.070 (b)(6) allows the City to award a contract by Resolution if the solicitation of bids has been limited or by direct negotiation if found to be in the best interest of the City. The Public Works Department has found the costs to be reasonable and will work with the contractor during construction to minimize costs as feasible. In addition, there is considerable concern that if the water service work is not completed this year, it would not be able to function this winter due to freezing temperatures. The current erosion issue also occurred during breakup this year and preventative measures need to be installed to minimize potential erosion during the spring of 2027. The funding for this project is available through the Capital Project Fund for Kenai Bluff Erosion, utilizing the remaining State of Alaska grant funds available for the project. It is in the best interest of the City to award the contract for the Mission Avenue Erosion Control Project to Peninsula Construction, Inc. in the amount of $98,800.

LLC City Council authorization is requested to file the attached Motion to Intervene with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) regarding DeepGreen Cook Inlet SPV, LLC's preliminary permit application for the proposed DeepGreen Cook Inlet Subsea -Compute & Infrastructure Hub, FERC Project No. P-15423-000. Intervention would allow the City to formally participate in the FERC proceeding, receive case - related information, submit comments and recommendations, and, if warranted, seek rehearing or judicial review of a final agency action. The proposed Motion expressly states that the City is not taking a position in support or in opposition to the Project. Authorization would allow the City to monitor the proceeding and evaluate potential municipal impacts as additional information becomes available. PROJECT BACKGROUND DeepGreen Cook Inlet SPV, LLC submitted an application to FERC for a preliminary permit for the proposed DeepGreen Cook Inlet Subsea -Compute & Infrastructure Hub. The proposed Project includes approximately 330 to 350 marine hydrokinetic turbines, approximately 66 modular subsea -compute facilities, an approximately 3.5-mile 115-kV hybrid power and fiber-optic subsea cable, a subsea cable landing site in the Nikiski Industrial Corridor, and associated facilities. Although the proposed facilities would not be located within the City of Kenai, the Project would be within the geographic and economic region served by the City and has the potential to affect municipal interests and resources. A preliminary permit does not authorize construction. It provides a developer priority to study a proposed project and prepare a future license application. FERC's rules allow intervention by a party with an interest that may be directly affected by the proceeding, among other bases established by 18 C.F.R. § 385.214. FERC recommends that parties intervene when they may be materially affected by the Commission's decision on a specific case or project. Intervention would preserve the City's ability opportunity to evaluate and comment on potential environmental, infrastructure, energy, transportation, fisheries, and other municipal impacts. If the Project advances to subsequent permitting or licensing proceedings, additional information could be evaluated to determine whether further participation is appropriate. Any future recommendation that the City support or oppose the Project would be presented to the City Council for consideration. The Motion identifies distinct municipal interests that may be affected by the Project that are not adequately represented by other parties. The proposed Motion to Intervene identifies several specific municipal interests that warrant the City's participation in the proceeding, including: Energy Security and Reliability. The proposed Project could generate approximately 100 megawatts of electricity, with a portion potentially available for delivery to the Alaska Railbelt Grid. The City has an interest in the Project's potential effects on regional energy supply, reliability, infrastructure, and long-term energy security. . Transportation Infrastructure. The Kenai Municipal Airport serves as a regional transportation hub, and roads serving the proposed construction area pass through the City. Construction and operation of a project of this scale could result in increased traffic and the use of heavy or specialized construction vehicles. The City has an interest in potential impacts to the Airport and the safety, capacity, operation, and maintenance of transportation infrastructure. Wild Salmon and Fisheries. The City has a specific municipal interest in the health, productivity, sustainability, and long-term viability of the Kenai Peninsula's wild salmon populations and the fisheries and communities that depend upon them. The proposed Project involves extensive marine infrastructure in Upper Cook Inlet, including marine hydrokinetic turbines and subsea facilities. The City has an interest in potential effects on marine habitat, salmon migration, salmon migration and productivity, and the fisheries and communities that depend on wild salmon. Municipal Services and Economic Development. The proposed Project may effect emergency response, economic development, environmental resources, and other municipal and community interests. Intervention would allow the City to receive timely information and participate as those potential effects are evaluated. Filing the Motion to Intervene is not expected to result in a significant fiscal impact. Continued participation could require future staff or legal work to review filings, evaluate technical information, and prepare comments or other submissions. Any substantial future expenditure or commitment of City resources would be addressed through the City's established administrative and budget processes and, when appropriate, presented to the City Council for consideration. It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City to submit the attached Motion to Intervene in FERC Project No. P-15423-000and authorize the City Manager and City Attorney, to take the actions necessary to file the Motion and participate in the proceeding on behalf of the City. This authorization would not constitute support for or opposition to the proposed Project. The purpose of intervention is to preserve the City's ability to receive information, participate in the FERC process, protect its identified municipal interests, and provide comments or recommendations as the Project develops.
