Kenai, AK 99611
Dear Committee Members,
I would like to make a few comments about the appearance of the Kenai
Cemetery. We recently buried my mother in the newer section. We were given
information regarding the Cemetery Regulations. I would especially like to address
Section 3: Maintenance.
It goes into fairly specific detail about what is permitted and for how long. In
looking at some of the displays at the cemetery, it is hard to believe that these were
approved by your committee. Some of the perimeter decorations, etc., lie outside the
boundaries of the plots. Perhaps the family has several plots and are encroaching on their
own area. Some of these displays have fallen into disrepair and are unsightly. The
people who maintain the cemetery cannot mow in certain areas because underneath all
those weeds are rocks, bricks, etc.
There is one especially gaudy display that is an assault to the senses. Section 3,
item e, states that artificial decorations are only permitted between May 1 and September
30. My mother was buried April 29 and I know these decorations were there long
before that. This one "shrine" in particular has in the middle of it a Mountain Dew can.
Is it trash or is it the last can of Mountain Dew this individual drank and therefore is
"special I observed family members standing around this grave site recently and no
one made a move to remove it. There is so much stuff (artificial flowers, toys,
pinwheels, etc.) that perhaps the can was not noticed. There is another "shrine" to which
a birdhouse on a pole was recently added. These family shrines belong on the family
property, not in the public cemetery.
I have never seen a cemetery looking like the Kenai Cemetery. It is quite a
ridiculous sight. If the city could enforce their regulations, it would be a nice looking
area. The gazebo is a very nice addition. If the rest was simply a grassed area with
headstone markers, it would look much nicer and provide a more peaceful atmosphere.
1 would like to suggest that a cemetery cleanup take place soon. Put up your 20-
day notice as described in the regulations and take some action, please, to restore the
dignity to our loved ones' resting place. In approving requests for construction of
perimeter decorations, perhaps you should consider what it would look like in 25 years or
so without yearly maintenance. We are a transient society and the people who have done
the "decorating" might not be here in 10 years. Only allow what the city would like to
maintain in perpetuity.

Thank you for your letter of July 14, 2009 in which you stated some concerns you have with
maintenance, decorations, etc. at the Kenai City Cemetery. Because the Advisory Cemetery
Committee, to whom you addressed the letter, was formed specifically with regard to a
cemetery expansion project, your letter will be forwarded to the Parks Recreation
Commission where recommendations, discussions, etc. related to the cemetery are reviewed. A
copy of your letter was also provided to City Manager Koch, Parks Recreation Director Frates,
and City Attorney Graves.
Yesterday, the City Manager, Parks Recreation Director, City Attorney and I met to discuss
your concerns. Though we all appreciate your comments, we also recognize the Kenai City
Cemetery is very unique in that it encompasses the "diversities in the transient society" to
which you referred in your letter. Those diversities represent different opinions of what is
appropriate and what is not.
The next general clean -up of the cemetery will be held in late September. Prior to the clean -up,
it is our intention to forward a mail out to the contact on file who purchased the gravesites to
encourage them to participate in the effort. We also plan to draft an amendment to the
regulations to strengthen the City's ability to remove obstructions to maintenance efforts,
which will be first reviewed by the Commission and then forwarded to the Kenai City Council
for its consideration.
Again, thank you for your comments. If you have any questions or further comments, please
contact me at 283 -8231 or email me at cfreas(1
