WHEREAS, the Kenai Senior Center will be replacing chairs in its dining facility with new chairs that it expects to arrive in October 2009, and, as a result, it has 160 dining chairs it no longer requires; and, WHEREAS, the old dining chairs were purchased with funds received from a Rasmuson Grant and from Senior Connection, Inc.; and, WHEREAS, the City advertised the possible donation of dining chairs through the State Nutrition, Transportation, and Services Coordinator for senior citizens to learn if other agencies servicing our seniors would have use for the chairs and the City received four responses; and, WHEREAS, the Kenai Municipal Code anticipates disposal of surplus City property by sale through competitive bidding under KMC 7.15 and does not otherwise specifically allow for the donation of surplus property to non-profit entities where the City has no further use of the property; and, WHEREAS, the estimated value of the chairs is not significant (less than $1,000) and it is expected the costs of storage and sale would exceed any value the City would realize by a sale through a competitive bidding process; and, WHEREAS, the City will not incur any cost in distribution of these unneeded items to the four agencies that expressed an interest in receiving the chairs as a donation; and, WHEREAS, by donating the chairs back to the senior community, the City is disposing of the property in a manner consistent with the grant award and funding that supported the initial purchase of the old dining room chairs. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA: Section Ie This is a non -code ordinance. Section 2: The 160 dining room chairs utilized by the Kenai, Senior Center are declared surplus and obsolete, and these items may be disposed of by donation to the following four non-profit organizations servicing senior members in Alaska as follows: New Text Underlined; (DELETED TEXT BRACKETED] Ordinance No. 2445-2009 Page 2 of 2 Section 3: This ordinance is effective immediately upon adoption. 50 chairs for URS, Inc.

The expected delivery date of the replacement chairs is October 30, 2009. The old chairs have little to no value as they are worn and in excess of 18 years old. The chairs were purchased using a combination of donations and grant funds designated to support . senior citizens and services. Because of the source of the funds used to purchase the old chairs, and because the costs of sale by competitive bidding would likely produce few proceeds than the cost of sale, I am recommending that the chairs be donated back to the cormnunity to support senior services. To accomplish this, I advertised to determine the interest in the chairs through the State NTS Coordinator. I received three responses for senior agencies and was also approached by a local non-profit organization in Kenai who expressed an interest in the chairs. In line with the responses, I suggest we donate the chairs to the following agencies as follows: URS, Inc. in Kenai 50 chairs Chugiak Senior Center 30 chairs Tanana Elders 30 chairs Nenana Senior Center 50 chairs The City Attorney has informed me that the Code does not specifically anticipate donations of surplus property to non-profit entities without competitive bidding. I have worked with her to draft an ordinance to permit the disposal of this property by a non -code ordinance. 361 SENIOR COURT • KENAI, ALASKA 9961 1 TELEPHONE: (907) 283-4176 a FAX: (907) 283-3200 eh��r�yoj// <<k KENAI.

As adopted in City of Kenai Ordinance 2441-2009 the City intended to dedicate these properties to a public purpose. Prior to adoption of Ordinance 2441- 2009, Mr. David Rohner representing The First Baptist Church repurchased the properties as allowed under Alaska Statute. The repurchase price for the properties was $14,923.94 and included the following: Judgment & Decree for Unpaid Taxes $ 4,512,20 Interest on Taxes from Judgment & Decree 629.10 2008 Property Taxes Due 2,088.92 Interest and Penalty on 2008 Taxes 361.46 Past Due Water & Sewer Service Billings 1,420.83 City of Kenai Expenses Managing and Maintaining the properties: Staff time managing and maintaining 2,807.43 Relocation costs for existing tenants 3.104.00 Total Repurchase Price $14 923. 4 At the time of this memo it appears the form and method of payment are valid.

The proposed changes regard the late fee and service charges only. The late fees have been changed to reflect an initial loan period of three (3) weeks instead of the current one of four (4) weeks. We currently have an initial loan period of 4 weeks with a 2 week renewal. Our new automation system does not allow for a renewalperiod that differs from the initial loan period. Our library customers are accustomed to, effectively a six week loan period. This allows us to retain that loan period. The effective change will be that fines will begin to accrue at the end of the initial three week period instead of after the first four weeks. The new automation system allows us to set default pricing according to item type rather than by item classification. These service charges have been assigned by item type. We found in setting the defaults that we had some materials that had not been covered under the existing regulations and have added those at the end of the list. <<i* �'',, CITY OF KENAI Suggested by: Administration KENUMMU �✓ RESOLUTION NO. 2009-64 A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, APPROVING THE PURCHASE OF ADVERTISING IN THE 2010 KENAI VISITORS GUIDE IN THE AMOUNT OF $ 10,000.

In 2009 the City purchased 4 pages of advertising for $5,000. The KCVB has proposed the City purchase 6 pages of advertising for $10,000 in the 2010 Visitors Guide. The cost per page in the 2009 Guide was $1,250. If the City purchases 6 pages for $10,000 in the 2010 Guide the cost is $1,667 per page. Attached, please find a comparison of per page pricing, mathematically adjusted to a circulation of 65,000, for other Visitors Guides in the State (exhibit A). The low is $1,625 per page and the high is $2,402 per page. The cost of the KCVB pages is within the low portion of the range. This assumes all pages are full color and glossy. If the City purchases 6 pages in the 2010 Visitors Guide, we will have provided 50% of the anticipated revenue based on the "2010 Kenai Visitor Guide Projected Budget" dated October 15, 2009 (exhibit B). In 2009 the KCVB received advertising income of $25,194.50 from the Guide, of which $ 5,000, or 20%, was ,from the City (exhibit C). The original budget adopted by the KCVB anticipated $ 35,000 in advertising revenue, revenue has been reduced to $ 20,000. (exhibit D) for the 2010 Visitors Guide as of October 15a' the anticipated advertising These significant reductions in advertising revenues are a concern for the administration if the trend is to pursue less non -City advertising revenues while requesting increasing advertising revenues from the City. Attached is a spreadsheet containing the comparison between the financial performance of the 2009 Guide and the anticipated financial performance of the 2010 Guide, based on the October 15`s document (exhibit B). Subsequent to the Council Packet being finalized, I received a Proposal Letter from the KCVB dated October 15, 2009 (exhibit I). Late today I received a packet of information from the KCVB including proof sheets of pages to be included in the 2010 Visitors Guide (exhibit G). We did not have time to - make color copies. In summary, administration's review of the above information and attachments concludes the rate per page for advertising in the KCVB 2010 Visitors guide to be reasonable.

To: Rick Koch, Kenai City Manager From: Natasha Ala, Executive Director RE: 2090 Kenai Visitor Guide Date: Thursday, October 15, 2009 The KCVR has been diligently moving forward with the production of the 2010 Kenai Visitor Guide. Recruiting advertising for the publication has been a great challenge in this tough economic time. We believe that with the City's contribution of $10,000, we can continue to move forward with a quality product that promotes the City of Kenai in a very positive light. We have been researching alternative publishing options that may bring down the final printing costs. The attached budget is based on our current projected income and expenses for the 2010 Kenai Visitor Guide. 1 would like to stress that this publication is entirely about promoting the City of Kenai as a place to live, work and visit. The cities of Soldotna, Seward and Homer have been producing their own Visitor Guides for many years now; it's been an exciting development for the City of Kenai now to have our own Visitor Guide specific to our city. As the City contemplates the value of their investment in this project it's important to remember that the KCVR successfully distributed 65,000 copies of the 2009 Kenai Visitor Guide to locations all around Alaska, and the nation. We have designed several pages in the 2010 Visitor Guide specific to the interest and activities of the City including: ® One page on the history of the City of Kenai ® One page on the City of Kenai Airport Q One page on dipnetting and sports fishing in the City of Kenai ® One page on recreational opportunities in the City of Kenai ® One page on Kenai City Parks * We have designated the back cover of the guide to promoting the City of Kenai ® We are also offering the City of Kenai a large 'skyscraper' banner ad on our new rrw,,;r_M�si' <enaLcom web site which is currently under construction and is due to be unveiled in mid November This product has been an important tool in our goal of promoting the City of Kenai as a desirable location for people to live, work and visit. We trust the City can continue to support this project, and the KCVB's efforts in promoting the City of Kenai to the rest of Alaska and the world.

LOOK FOR CENTRAL PENINSULA PAGE www.visitkenai.com Page 13 - - - Kenai T.rP;Z11 L'1 SG171o1, 19g9 The boreal forest and rich watershed of Kenai, anchored by the Kenai !diver has been hoarse to many cultures over time. The first people known to have settled the area are the Riverine Kachemak people, who occupied the Kenai and Kasilof River areas from about 1000 B.C. to about 1000 A.D. These people relied on the salmon from the rivers and streams In the area, weaving nets from roots and setting them in the river to catch the fish on their way up stream. Following the Riverine Kachemak people, the Athabaskan speaking Dena'ina people came into the area, and are still here as the modern Kenaitze. The Dena'na people also fished the salmon rivers and streams, but they developed fish traps that would allow them to catch and process the year's catch over the course of a month. The Russian occupation of Kenai and Kasilof at the end of the 18" century led to the Battle of Kenai in 1797. The Dena'ina defeated the Russians, and the Kenai River continued as Dena'ina territory until the American purchase of Alaska from the Russians in 1867. Only a few Russian fur traders remained in the area. In 1863, however, a small pox epidemic extinguished half the Dena'ina population. The people adopted a version of Russian Orthodoxy that included many traditional beliefs as a way to cope with the tragedy. In 1918, the Influenza pandemic brought further losses to the Dena'ina, and many of the people in small villages that were growing ever smaller across the Kenai Peninsula moved to Kenai The late 1800's brought more trade into the area, including the first cannery in 1.888 In 1912, the first Libby cannery was built and the commercial fisheries became the anchor industry of Kenai, This also began thetransition forthe Dena'ina people to a cash economy. In 1934, the Indian Reorganization Act gave a legal voice to Alaska Natives in communication with the federal government, The Kenaitze Indian Tribe, I.R A. has federal recognition as an Alaska Native tribe through this legislation. 1i, i4'-48 Cgnla;n ja. ,s Coot axp/ored fhe Cook L,le't- �'S Journals rvedlspluyeA' of Lhe Kenn! 6�5%Cars & O< learn/ C"e" , During the depression, growth slowed and at least one major cannery closed its doors, but the 1940's brought homesteaders to Kenai and rekindled the growth of the city Veterans received 90- day preference and no patent requirement that land be cultivated. In July of 1957, oil was discovered at the Swanson River site and the Kenai gas field was discovered in 1959, The Arness dock in Nikiski, made of two sunken Liberty Ships, saw tons of equipment and drilling mud across the deck as the Cook Inlet became the oil capital of Alaska. The discovery of oil and gas made the idea of Statehood more attractive to many in the territory and the Federal Government. In 1959, Congress granted Alaska statehood.

Proposed Ordinance 2452-2009 will create an internal service ftmd to account for the expenses and revenues of the position. Internal service funds are used to account for funds that provide goods and services to other funds on a cost -reimbursement basis. Total costs for the remainder of fiscal year 2010 are expected to be $110,279 and include everything from payroll related expenses as well as equipment needs for the department. It is being proposed to purchase a computer and printer for the new position as well as a vehicle for use by the manager. Similar to purchases from the equipment replacement fund, a separate resolution will be prepared to authorize the purchase of the departments vehicle. The cost of the vehicle to be purchased will be recovered over a five year period due to its cost. Other costs of the department will be recovered in the year incurred. Funding for the fund will be from charges to projects being managed for both manager time and rental of the department vehicle as well as grant funds from the State of Alaska for Public Employee Retirement System on behalf funding. Funding for PERS on behalf is expected to be $10,562 or 18.35%of budgeted wages subject to PERS. Equipment reimbursementt is based upon recovering the cost of a $20,000 vehicle with annual operating cost of $8,000 for fuel, insurance, and maintenance. Expected recovery is $1,000 per month and will be allocated to projects based upon hours billed each month. Charge for services is based upon total department costs less PERS on behalf reimbursement and. vehicle costs. This net amount will be divided by the available billable hours in a year (typically total work hours less holidays and expected vacation days, training hours, etc.). For the remainder of fiscal year 2010 the project billing rate will be $6T04 per hour as shown in the following calculation: Total Department Budget $ 110,278 (Less Vehicle Recovery) (8,000) (Less PERS Grant) (10,562) Total to be recovered $ 9LZN 6 (Cost to be recovered divided by available hours) $91,716/1,368 hours = $67.04 per hour Recovery in subsequent years will be adjusted based upon over or under recovery in the preceding fiscal year. As this is the first year there is no under or over recovery adjustment.

The Anchorage Public Library has shared the policies and Iiability forms that they wrote as part of their program. These will be presented to the Library Commission and come to Council for approval before the program becomes active. The laptops that will be purchased were specified in the grant application. Competitive bids for their purchase will be obtained. The Alaska Library Network has been able to negotiate rates on group purchase of machines as more libraries institute these programs. The laptop computers will access the intemet via our wireless network and have the advantage over desktop computers in that we do not need to designate specific floor space and wiring to use them. They also enable the staff of the library to conduct classes anywhere in the library to a larger number of students. We are currently limited to attendance in most classes of approximately 6 students.

There are no existing regulations to guide development of WES except building codes and development requirements for the zone, i.e. setbacks and height restrictions. With the existing development requirements, WES would not be permitted in most residential zones because of the height restriction of 35 feet. Variance permits are not an option because to grant a variance, the Commission must find that the request meets the criteria listed in KMC 14.20.180 and WES would not meet those criteria, As citizens become increasingly aware of the benefits of energy savings both to their electrical bills and the environment, there has been increased interest in WES. With anticipation of the increased interest in these systems, the Commission began work sessions in June to discuss and draft an amendment to regulate WES in the City. Eight work sessions were held between June and August. The Commission worked diligently to draft an amendment that provides for the systems and also would allow for Conditional Use Permits for systems that may not meet the criteria in the amendment. Public input was encouraged during the work sessions. Nada Daggett of Alaskan Wind Industries provided valuable input and research during the process, Ms. Daggett has also assisted the City of Homer and is in the process of assisting the City of Soldoma and Municipality of Anchorage as they begin the process of designing regulations for WES. This proposed amendment is the result of numerous hours of work by the Commission with the assistance of the City Attorney and staff. We are confident that the proposed amendment provides regulation for Wind Energy Systems while at the same time limiting the adverse affect of these systems.

In Alaska, you must have a broker in charge of each individual office for doing business with real estate. My intentions upon Judy's departure were to continue my education and take the test to become a broker for my own business of "Ribelin Real Estate". Consequently, a whole chain of events has changed my plans. Recent deaths in my family, financial hardship and my own health issues prevent me from continuing. I cannot reopen the office in the airport without being a broker. I have no one that I am associated with that will come and be a broker for my business inside the airport. My intentions at this point are to remain with Preferred Realty as a part time reactor in their office location. Respectively and with regret., I would like to end my lease with the City of Kenai.

The report highlights the activities, expenditures, and observations of the City departments that have significant involvement with the annual personal use dipnet fishery at/near the mouth of the Kenai River. For the 2009 dipnet fishery, the City had total revenues of $254,962 and total expenditures of $"211,754.52. City departments saw an overall increase in expenditures for 2009. The police department experienced a decrease in expenditures, primarily due to fewer overtime shifts over the previous year, and the police command staff was able to spend less administrative time on dipnet-related tasks. Parks and recreation had an increase in expenditures, largely due to the installation of permanent fencing on the North beach. The parks director spent considerable time applying for a grant to fund $40,000 in permanent fencing on the North beach. This successful grant award, combined with parks employees installing the fencing, greatly helped in minimizing the City's financial outlay. Public works had an increase in expenditures mostly due to additional projects over the previous year: building and installing informational signs, adding gravel to the South beach Cannery Road entrance, placing concrete fire rings, and removing old dock planks. The finance department had an increase in expenditures, due to increased staff time. 'Ihe police department experienced an increase in calls for service, largely due to expanded, and more diligent, cash pick-ups. Police responded to three reports of fights/assaults on the first busy weekend. A local semet fisherman, who accesses the beach from S. Spruce, gave the City positive feedback and praise for the S. Spruce gravel extension onto the beach, and also for the shack workers who allowed his vehicles to expeditiously enter the beach. City departments have initiated discussions about dipnet-related vendors. One food vendor parked a small bus briefly on the North beach, but then left the area after being advised of a city licensing requirement The City should consider developing a concessionaire plan, to include: parking location, fees, and quantity of vendors allowed. Overall, the City departments felt the dipnet fishery was successful, with a low number of significant incidents given the thousands of people who participated from around the State of Alaska. Please reference the Parks section of the report for recommendations on fee increases during the dipnet fishery.

Kim Wannamaker TBRIJ: Gus Sandahl, Chief of Police RE: 2009 Kenai River Personal Use Dipnet Fishery The Annual Dipnet Report is presented for your review, It includes reports $om the Police, Public Works, Finance, and Parks & Recreation Departments. You will find a summary overview of Police Department activity specific to the Kenai River Dipnet Fishery to include observations, statistics, problems encountered, and suggestions for improvement for 2010. The Seasonal Enforcement Officer report is also attached. The Fishery opened at 6a on Friday, 7-10-09, and closed at I 1p on Friday, 7-31-09. There were no emergency openings, extensions, or closures this year; it remained a 6a-1lp event as it did last year. City departments prepared for anticipated & historical challenges, collaborated with planning & management strategies, with this year resulting in an effective overall management of the 3-week fishery. The greatest managerial challenge this season, similar to last year, was parldrig in the South Spruce/North Beach area, parking issues at the City Dock, and an effective camping permit process. Four Seasonal Enforcement Officers (SEOs) spent the majority of their July shifts engaged in Fishery related activity; all four SEOs worked as SEOs in 2008, so they were familiar with all aspects of the fishery and needed little remedial training prior to the season. Significant issues SEOs dealt with this year were parking and vehicle operations on the North Beach area, and ATV concerns on the South Beach, The Police. Department handled 141 Fisbery-related calls for service this year (77 of those were handled by SEOs); the majority of the calls for service were cash pick-ups from the four pay shacks, followed by parking complaints and camping issues on the North Beach. Other activity generating Police Department attention involved ATV use (both beaches), parking problems at M. the City Dock, litter, and destruction of orange fencing and trampling of vegetated dunes during extreme high tides (North Beach). One vehicle was impounded this year, for unlawful parking on Bridge Access Road near Boat Launch Road (too close to the intersection/blocking view). Twenty-five of the 27 citations issued this year were parking related (handicap zone, no permit, no parking zone). police arrested 2 drunk drivers on the South Beach, one of which was leaving the scene of a Hit & Run collision. Over 300 written warnings were left on windshields for parking violations, with some being followed up with citations. Well over 1000 verbal warnings were issued during day-te-day operations/contacts with Fishery participants, again most of them parking related. Police also responded to several fights, reports of theft, and a South Beach camper with a chainsaw "getting firewood" on private property off Cannery Road. Police and USCG investigated a report of a commercial gillnetter boat intentionally swamping dipnetters along the North shore at the mouth of the river, the investigation concluded with USCG interaction with the F/ V's captain, and no criminal charges. The USCG patrolled the boat -dipping area with a State Parks Ranger during July 16-28, made vessel boardings and enforced watercraft safety regulations. They also were immediately present and assisted KPD/IUD personnel when a 19' boat capsized, spilling the occupants into the river; all 4 boaters were rescued. There were three significant EMS responses, two on the North Beach — one man suffered a fatal heart attack, another man suffered hypothermia; and the capsized boat. The hypothermic man chose to ride out an extreme high tide in his sleeping bag while water flooded his tent. He called 9-1-1 later that morning from his tent. Of the 337 hours worked by SEOs on dipnet activity, the majority was spent on the North Beach dealing with parking, camping, campfires, and ATv use. Police Officers spent 42 overtime hours on dedicated Fishery -related activity on the beaches, in addition to logging 64 hours handling 64`Fishery-related calls for service. SECS and Officers patrolled the beaches via ATV and on rare occasion, a Department SUV. The SUV was used when both ATVs were temporarily out -of -service and prompt access to the far reaches of the beach was necessary. Alaska Wildlife Troopers (AW1') were discreetly present during the Fishery, on the North Beach and, to a greater extent, at the City Dock The local AWT Detachment lent us a new Polaris Ranger 6-wheeler this year for use during the Fishery; this ATV was an exceptional addition to our 4-wheeler and greatly enhanced beach patrols and moving about the long stretches of beach. Four pay shacks were placed at the same locations as the last 2 years, and one (S. Spruce) sustained minor damage after an RV drove into it while pulling up to the pay window. 3 M Total Kenai PD expenses for the 2009 season ................... $19.193 Police Officers' pay (64 hrs + 42 dedicated OT hrs) SEO pay (337 hrs, including 4 hrs OT) Pre & Post season Admin Work (Chief, Lt., Sgts) A Field Visits, Prep (Chief: 3.5, Lt: 4) > KPD Mtngs (Chief: 4, Lt: 4, Sgts: 7) A Mtngs w/other Depts & Agencies (Chief 2, Lt: 5) Deskwork, R.pts (Chief. 3, Lt: 10, Sgts: 4) > TOTAL Admin (Chief: 12.5hr, Lt: 20hr, Sgts: l 1hr) Vehicle (Full-size pickup equivalent rental — July) ATV (purchase cost divided by 10 yr useful life) x2* Fuel** $1995 + 2024 $5203 + 94 $532 + 825 + 420 $3100 $2000 $3000 This season saw a decrease of 23 "on shift" hours and a decrease of 84 dedicated OT hours from Officers' 2008 total time, and 16.5 fewer Administrative hours. The SEOS also spent 73 fewer hours this season than 2008. The decrease in dedicated OT was a direct result of things going so smoothly the extra Officer presence simply wasn't necessary, and several Officers' anticipated/pre-scheduled OT shifts were cancelled. The "Salmon Frenzy" missionary group was present again this season, with 120 volunteers on the beaches) the 2nd and 3rd weekends (Fri -Sun). Their presence, which included several individuals from last year, contributed significantly to smoother operations regarding traffic control, traffic congestion, and parking. *The Kenai PD has one 4-wheeler, and based on a 10-yr useful life has a cost of $700 per year. For the 2009 Fishery AWT loaned us a new Polaris 6x6 which was needed for dipnet-related beach parrot, enforcement, & rescue transportation. If This 6x6 was not loaned to us, the City would need to acquire/purchase a similar ATV at a cost of $ 1300/yea (useful life 10 yrs). * *Patrol cars/SUV, the Dept, pickup, and two ATVs, were equipment expenditures for the fishery. Costs included reflect fuel consumption relative to driving to/fxom the 4 pay shacks, City Hall, police station, beach access points, Kenai Ave., and up & down the N and S beaches, and idling during stops at these locations. Fuel average was $3.15/gal regular unleaded gasoline. 2009 Observations Si na e'information at the North Beach access was greatly improved with the erection of the large color map detailing where folks could drive, park, camp, have fires, and where they couldn't. Public information was available via printed brochures, radio and newspapers, ADFG and City of Kenai web sites. information included: Fishery dates/times, fees, Dunes Protection, beach access, parking/camping/campfires locations, ATV & off -road vehicle use, and tide tables. Incredibly, many participants, when contacted, denied knowledge of readily available information. The additional Handicap Parking signs plus fresh blue paint on the cement barrier helped make the spots more visible to those needing them and those who shouldn't. The HCP Parking area on the north side of the S. Spruce parking lot was not so clearly marked and created confusion and the dismissal of one citation due to being poorly marked. The S. Spruce "City Vehicles Only: parking area was not clearly marked which contributed to more parking confusion. 'Those spots are used primarily by Police which can, in all reality, park anywhere while down there on calls. If there is a genuine need for dedicated City vehicles Only parking, it might be relocated thereby creating another 2-3 general parking spots. Last year there were at least two "2-11r Parking" signs on the block wall at the end of S. Forest Drive; this year there were none until the end of the_ season and that area became heavily congested as the season progressed; those signs lasted very briefly, until they were ruined by rain. Parking and camping fees were $1 S, the same as last year, with cash or check payment options at the pay shacks and/or iron rangers. Many complaints were received about the 12-hour payment period, with people suggesting it be lengthened to a full day (24 hrs). Non-co=liance with cam ing fees and posting of camping permits was an enforcement issue due to poor communication and/or misunderstanding of requirements; the SEOs issued many warnings to gain compliance. Many campers claimed they were not informed of the camping fee by shack attendants. Parking at the City Dock was jam-packed on the busy tides. The majority of painted parking spots accommodated 3-deep (truck/trailer) parking, which led to vehicles in the middle getting boxed in, which led to trailers being moved, police being called "to move him out of my way" (unoccupied, locked trucks), and nasty windshield notes. Overflow parking at the Little Leagge fields went smoothly due to the anticipated need, and pre - planned staffing & traffic control on S. Spruce to handle the increased traffic on the 2"d & 3`a weekends. The 6x6 posts & chain fencing on the N. Beach created an excellent barrier for protecting the dunes and establishing a border for tents & campfires. The orange fencing, however, was again cut, trampled, and moved by those wishing to accommodate their own desires for space. The Port -A -Potties were well maintained and serviced this season, with little -to -no complaints expressed. Durnpsters filled quickly on busy days and when overflowing, people just piled trash higher or beside them. This created a problem for servicing, as the garbage truck driver(s) would not empty dumpsters with trash piled on the lids or trash piled beside the dumpsters. Litter & trash is a significant issue during the Fishery, and management strategy should continue addressing this. The presence of four SEOs again this year contributed significantly to smooth operations. They were a constant presence to answer questions, give direction, monitor & enforce parking and traffic flow, and provide immediate assistance with various problems. The additional ATV was a valuable resource for traversing the beaches easily & quickly. The larger 6x6 Ranger with cargo area proved to be a terrific asset with greater functionality than the 4wheeler. It was an unexpected loaner from AWT this year, as we'd requested to borrow a 4wheeler as in years past. This Polaris Ranger may not be available from them next year. The Salmon Frenzy volunteers were a tremendous help on both beaches and the City Dock, with most of their people on the North Beach. Their presence provided resources to Dippers and non - dippers, children, traffic control, and parking monitoring & directing. They also provided free hotdogs, hot chocolate, activities for children, and a first -aid station. Recommendations for 20I0 Sinae 1. Set a line of" No Vehicles Beyond This Point" signs along the Left side of S. Spruce extended, for clear direction regarding motor vehicles between S. Spruce/Mouth of the River. The two there this year, plus their close -in location, were not very visible nor in a strategic place. 2. Determine whether there is a need "-or dedicated Ci.yv Vehicles Only parking and Confirm specific location. 3. Affix durable, weather -resistant "2-Flour Packing" signs to the wall at the end of S. Forest Drive, 4. Attach a dry -erase board to the pay shacks for late -notice messages, fishing updates, extreme high tide times, and other general information to the public. Fencing Extend post/chain fencing beyond the end of Kenai Ave, or put nothing there. The orange fencing merely gets moved, trampled, or vandalized and because it's unmarked private property there is little KPD can do other than spend a lot of time telling people to move their stuff, stay out of the grass, and P&Rretrieve/repair orange fencing. 1' 2 Cam in 1. Provide clear weatherproof bags for people to affix to their tentsharps. include fasteners that are easy to use and don't puncture fabric. 2. Provide pay shack workers with written guidelines/instructions for campers. 3. Establish a written definition of "camping Security & Enforcement 1. Continue with four Seasonal Enforcement Officers, and anticipate &. schedule dedicated Dipnet Officer shifts (easier to cancel if not necessary, than to last minute call folks in). 2. Purchase a larger ATV similar to this year's loaner 6x6, due to the greater versatility and multi -function use, MSRP for a similar ATV is roughly $13,000 with standard equipment. This additional ATV would complement the Department's 5-yr old 4wheeler. A Polaris Ranger XP, smaller than the 6x6, has 4 wheels, a 3-person bench seat and the same size cargo bed as the 6x6; adequately equipped for our use costs between $11,000 - $12,000.

The fishery opened on Friday, July le at 0600 and closed on Friday, July 31 at 2300 hours. There were no emergency openings or closings called for by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game during the 2009 dipnet fishery. This season there were again four Seasonal Officers (SEOs) employed by the Kenai Police Department, The SEOs spent a total of 510 hours working during the dipnet fishery. Out of these, a total of 337 hours were spent for dipnet (time on the beaches, at Kenai City Dock, or performing other dipnet-related duties). The majority of time spent at these locations was handling problems and being a general police presence. The remaining non-dipnet time was spent handling other calls for service such as bike thefts, vandalisms, illegal camping, and ATV complaints, or performing other miscellaneous administrative duties at the police station. General Information Similar to previous years, the 2009 dipnet season started slowly and increased in intensity until its peak a Tattle after a week into the season. The lower parking lot at North beach, the overflow parking at the Little League fields on South Spruce, and parking along South. Spruce was completely full by July I e. The South Beach, near the mouth, was also highly saturated by this date. On the I Sol fishing had picked up slightly, and many people were on the beach; a story written in the Anchorage Daily News and the Peninsula Clarion claiming a huge run of fish was M KENAJ POLICE tDEPILRTMENT probably the major contributing factor of this huge influx. This weekend has been shown to be the busiest weekend of dipnet for the past two years. After this weekend the amount of people began to decline until July 31a. By the end of the season the North beach The North and South Beaches during the peak point of the dipnet season. parking lot was nearly empty, and yet the fishing continued to be fruitful. Pay shacks were located at the entrances to all dipnet areas. The shacks were located at N. Beach on South Spruce, the South Beach at Dunes Rd., Old Cannery Rd., and at the City Dock on Boat Launch Rd. Ln addition to these locations a payment area was again added at the Little League field entrance on busy days for the overflow parking patrons. The shacks were manned from 0545 to 2300 hours. When the shacks were unattended, users paid their fees at iron rangers located next to the pay shacks. Pees were enforced by the shack attendants from 0600-2300 and by the SEOs at other times. Iron Rangers were emptied daily. Prices for parking and camping remained the same as last year, 15 dollars for parking, and an additional 15 dollars for camping. These prices provided a 12 hour permit. Similar to last year SEOs received many complaints in regards to the pricing. SEOs received 77 dipnet-related calls for service during the 2009 dipnet fishery. The most prominent calls received were for cash pickups from the various pay shacks. SEOs received numerous complaints about parking on Kenai Ave. and calls relating to ATV violations. The aflo majority of complaints came from the North Beach where the SEOs spent most of their time. SEOs pattioiled'the beaches using ATVs. In addition to tire police department owned 4-wheeler, Alaska,Wildlife Troopers tent KPD anew Polaris Ranger 6-Wheeler, This 6-Wheeler proved to be an invaluable asset on the beaches this year. Its bed allowedus to carry more duty gear and extra equipment such as Ras and traffic cones. The most imporrant feature of this ATV was its moki-person cab. This allowed us to transport, more than one. officer on busy days, and conduct multi -officer patrols. Approximately halfway through the dipnet season, we received a 911 call for a man going hypothermic an the beach; because ofthe Ranger's garb, owe the man was located, we were We to shuttle him off of the beach to a waiting ambulance. This would not have been possible with the single person 4-wbeeier. 4' a The largest problems encountered by SEOs at the North Bewh were parking violations and vehicles to the left of the main entrance. T°]re harking lot at theendzof South Spruce was c ompletely ful l as well as street parktrrg on & Spruce and the Little League Field overflow parking area. SEOs issued large quantities of-wriden and verbal warnings, On July I e alone over one,hundred warning slips were left on vehicles inthe -lower parking. lot for expired parking permits, failure to display parking permits; orother miscellaneous parking infractions: This. helped correct sect the n*ority of the problem; however; later that day those who had not corrected it. were, issued citations. A total of 26 citations were issued. 25 ofthese citations were for parking violations; this includes illegal handicap parking parking without a permit, and parking in no parking zones. SEOs, spent significantly, more time warning vehicles that had ventured onto the left side ofNorth beach, about one to € ve a day, depending on the activity level Although there were a feat signs in the parking lot indicating no vehicles to the left of the be&* there were only two small signs indicaung this mi, the beach: There :s a wxy clear sign that stetes "NO CAMPING OR FIRES"' can the right side of the beach, if a similar large sign was posted on the left stabir'tO-MOTOR 4iEHICLES," the problem of A`3 Vs would likely reduce. Also another red sign stating "NO CA VING" on the right side of the entrance would seduce the,amourit of camping infractions oa ftiis side of the beach. Camping pervarts were anotherlarge problem on the beaches this year. Often. when we<would pass through the beach checking for permits, it would result in about a third sites teat having!them, One day towards the end of the sewn, every campsite on N. Beach was lacking camping permits due to a barks employee atthe booth informing people they did vot,need permits or that camping wax free; arts was quickly wed. %ft Every night the campers would break down the orange fencing and pitch their tents in the safety of the dunes. The next day, SEOs and other officers would have all the campers mow their sites out ofthe dunes, and Kenai City Parks and Recreation would replace the fence only to have the process repeat. After a few days, Parks and Recreation nibuilt the fence; further back auto the' dunes, allowing* people to camp in a section of there for the rest of the season. "he Salmon'Prenq volunteers tetumed to dilmet for the 2009 season. They controlled traffic on Kenai Ave-, which greatly .helped reduce the amount of traffic jams: They operated hospitality tents on both beaches. These tents provided fish fillet, tables, free hotdogs, and hot chocolate. The volunteers also had: au. inflatable funjump and other activities for the children of the dipnetters: The City Dock was very self-maintaming during the dipnet opening. As the season progressed, SEO& received more calls for service at the dock. There vAre several hays that ihe parking lat, as well as the overflow parking tot, were ccinVIctely full. Another issue that was dealt with on multiple occasions at Kenai City Hock, was the issue of boaters having their vehicles blacked in by other vehicles. Due to the fact that. many of the parking lanes were about three vehicles deep, often boaters would park their vehicles in.the middle of the lanes, only to return to discover other vehicles parked both ends, blocking them in. This was less of a problem during the peak weekend, when Salmon Frenzy-volunteerswere present at the hock tobelp regulate traffic. r South Beach required fie less attention from SEOs. The most common violations were A -TV violations and ATV helmet violations. On July 2e SEds responded to.a minor vehicle collision between a SE V sand an ATE. No citations were issrted of South beach. ATV operation in the'• dmve was not a substemiai problem this year. Salmon Frenzy volunteers operated a hospitality tent for South Beach as well. This teat also served five hotdogs and hot and cold beverag , 11 KENAI POLICE DEPARTMENT h iscelinneou Restrooms at the beaches and boat launch were well maintained this year. On several occasions, someone put rocks and toilet paper in the bathroom at the municipal park, causing it to overflow, but the problem did not continue to occur all season. The port-o-potties at the end of Kenai Avenue were the most highly used of all the restrooms and therefore needed the most maintenance. The dumpsters were frequently overflowing. In addition the garbage truck drivers would not empty the dumpsters if there was any refuse on the dumpster lids or around the dumpster itself. This led to trash being left on the ground in the area. Another trash problem came from the new fire rings to the right on the entrance at North beach. People seemed to believe these new fire rings were trash receptacles. Multiple times throughout the dipnet season, the department 4-Wheeler experienced mechanical issues, and was rendered not usable for beach duties. Aside from one shorted out sensor towards the end of the season in which it had to be returned for repairs, the AWT Ranger was extremely dependable with no issues. During times when the 4-Wheeler was in the shop, the Ranger could not practically be used to access South Beach due to the fact a trailer was needed to haul it. A police Ford Expedition had to be used to access the beaches when ATVs were not available for use due to the fact the new police F250s weight makes it impractical for beach use. Each time a department vehicle was exposed to the beach, SEOs spent time to take it and clean the underbody well with high pressure fresh water. Dinnet Fishery Statistics As previously mentioned SEOs responded to 77 dipnet related tails for service. Each call generated a STl report which is used for Police Department documentation. These calls for service were divided among three locations: North beach, South beach, and the Kenai City Dock. This year the number of STl s for ATV activity was drastically reduced. Although SEOs contacted many people for illegal camping there were no citizen filed complaints to the Police Department resulting in no STIs in this category.

There are more signs and the fnesibarriers were repainted. The other section of handicap parking, on the eastern edge of the parking lot, needs some things. For example, a sign on both ends with arrows would be beneficial as well as the grass along the barrier being maintained. One citation was written for this area and was later dropped due to the lack of signage. m KENAI POLICE DEPARTMENT m Another problematic area in the North Beach parking lot was the no -parking zone for Kenai City Vehicles only zone. While there are signs posted in the area there are still parking spaces painted on the barriers. This section of the barrier could be painted red to avoid the confusion. • Parking for maintenance vehicles was another problem SEOs experienced during dipnet, In the past the north side of the barrier on the northern most section on the asphalt was reserved for maintenance vehicles. This was a problem in the past because it is improperly signed. This year temporary signs (paper signs on posts stuck in traffic cones) designated the south side of the same barrier as the maintenance vehicle parking area, These temporary signs did not last long in the rain and wind. The north side of the barrier needs to be the maintenance/city vehicle parking area. It needs to be appropriately signed with permanent signs and painted a bright color, such as yellow or red, to designate it as a no -parking zone for the public. • The new signs at the North Beach entrance were a great improvement to the area. The color sign that displayed all the camping/fires/ATV rules seemed to cut down on the number of violations occurring on the beach. The same goes for the color sign at the end of South Forest. ® Unfortunately the signs posted as "no motor vehicles past this point" to the left of the North Beach South Spruce entrance were not as numerous as last year. There were only two and they were up close to the fencing. Next year it would be great to have many of these signs in a line down the beach to the water. ® The new wood post and chain fence at North Beach worked great for protecting the dunes. Once the chain was strung there were very little problems concerning the dunes. Prior to dipnet there were some problems with the removal of posts. 'During dipnet there were no ATVs in the dunes and minor amounts of foot traffic. ® The path from Municipal Park to North Beach lost some posts during dipnet. The posts at the top and bottom of this path were great for cutting down on ATV traffic. Unfortunately these posts were removed by vandals. Perhaps it would be best if these posts were cemented in place to ensnare their longevity. There were many complaints received from the residents on Toyon Way and South Forest concerning the amount of traffic at the end of South Forest. During peak days, cars would be parked on both sides choking the street and making it difficult for the residents to access their homes; it was less of a problem during the weekdays. Many of these complainants proposed a no parking zone be instated on one side of South Forest. This 15 KENAI POLICE DEPARTMENT would quickly solve the problem as long as the no parking zone had enough signs, and the curb was painted. We received many complaints about people parking for excessive amounts of time at the end of S. Forest. There was a severe lack of two hour parking only signs this year at the end of the street. This problem occurred on all days of the week, not just during peak days. The no parking zone on South Spruce generated many parking tickets during this dipnet season. Out of the 26 citations that were issued during the peak of the season, a majority of these were written for parking infractions on S. Spruce. The main concentration of people parking in the no parking zone parked near the "entrance only" sign to the Catholic Church, it may be prudent to post a no parking sign in this area to cut down on this problem, in addition it would be beneficial to repaint the curbs on both sides of South Spruce in the no parking zones. At the City Dock the lanes for incoming and outgoing boaters need to be marked so that there is no confusion about where to go. There were several calls for service for people yelling at one another for cutting in the line. Raving it clearly marked out would reduce the confusion and problems that we had for disgruntled fishermen. One other thing is to have the launching area designated for two lanes for launching and two lanes for pick up. It would help if the ATV helmet Laws were posted on the beach pay shacks. We had an extreme amount of contacts with people letting their children on ATMs without helmets. It would be nice to have a dual purpose vehicle for SEO use during the dipnet fishery. One that can be taken on the beach and on paved roadways. That would be more practical than just having a vehicle that can only be used on the beach. Overall, SEOs operated efficiently and worked well together. It significantly helped that all four SEOs from 2008 returned to work as SEOs in 2009. This greatly reduced the amount of SEO training time that was needed at the beginning of the summer, and allowed the SEOs to be more proactive in the community during the first weeks of the summer. Throughout the dipnet season, SEOs had the opportunity to work closely with the KENAI POLICE DEPARTMENT public, being a police presence on the beaches, and building positive public relations through service acts for the public, such as providing assistance with vehicle lockouts, assisting with stuck vehicles, and shuttling of elderly Salmon Frenzy volunteers. Overall it was a relatively good season, aside from the lack of sun and clear skies in duly. Compared to last year, some problems such as ATV use have declined, while other problems such as illegal camping and parking have grown. SEOs were kept busy throughout the season dealing with many various problems, none of which proved to be too difficult to handle. 17 111 U111c twig a Past, Ci� wA a Fu ur°e' 210 Fidalgo Avenue, Kenai, Alaska 99611-7794 Telephone: 907-283-3692 / FAX: 907-283-3693 tieu!a`,of L ®L/ l� V MEMORANDUM To: Gus Sandahl, Kenai Police Chief Lt. Kim Wannamker, Kenai Police Dept. Wayne Ogle, Public Works Director Terry Eubank, Kenai Finance Director From: Robert J. Frates, Kenai Parks & Recreation Director Date: Sept. 16, 2009 RE: Dip Net Report - 2009 The 2009 Personal Use Fishery opened 6:00 am on Friday, July 10t' and closed at 11:00 pm on Friday, July 31a. Preparation started well in advance of the opening day beginning with the completion of the north beach fencing project, ordering and installing signs, printing of brochures and maps, conducting staff training and meetings, securing vendors and placement of fee stations & boxes. The Personal Use Fishery on the Kenai seems to have grown in popularity over the years and participation levels in this season's fishery appears to have exceeded all others. The Kenai Dock Facility also experienced an increase in boaters with several days marked by boaters exceeding the carrying capacity of the parking lot. Increased levels on the Kenai were probably influenced by economics (people wanting to flit their freezers), good return of fish, and river closures in other parts of the state. Steady fuel prices in July coupled with many residents choosing to vacation in -state with travel plans centered around the fishery probably contributed to its popularity as well. This summer marked the first season for the permanent fence protecting the north beach dunes. The new fencing went a long way toward deterring unwanted foot -traffic resulting in strong growth of beach rye in areas otherwise typically trampled by pedestrian traffic. Several concrete fire rings on the north beach (going west from Spruce St) were placed this season along with two 4ft x 6ft colored informational signs. One sign was placed at the end of South Spruce St and the other at the end of South Forest Dr. A third 4ft x 6ft sign was placed on the beach parallel with South Forest Dr. prohibiting parking and fire from this point westward. Good compliance was demonstrated and the department did not receive any complaints from the neighborhood residents along the bluff with respect to loud noise or smoke. As a response to extra traffic being directed onto Overland Ave., the Public Works Department arranged for pedestrian lanes to be painted along the shoulder of this road in addition to providing directional signs for vehicular traffic. This appeared to have reduced the number of complaints from private property owners in this area. The North American Mission Board Volunteer effort was in full swing by the week of July 14th. Their effort was expanded to the South Beach and are currerrtly planning a return for next season. Brenda Crim reported they had 300 volunteers that gave 9,000 volunteer hours (not counting planning, 18 ow communication, fundraising, setup and take -down). The following is a summary of items given away and volunteer service provided: ➢ 10,000 hotdogs given away ➢ 1,200 gallons of cocoa and 1,200 gallons of lemonade ➢ 5,000 popsicies ➢ 200 cases of water ➢ 350 kids participated in Day Camp ➢ 200 kids in the Bounce Houses ➢ 150 kids participated in sports games ➢ 20¢ hours assisting with traffic control ➢ Beach Cleanup A Provided filet & knife sharpening stations ➢ Provided a first aid station Lister and Fish Waste Control S&R Enterprises provided the necessary dumpsters and removal of bulk trash both on the North and South Beach. Parks staff supplemented this effort by picking up trash on a daily basis along with the North American Mission Board. The KCHS Cross -Country Ski Booster Club assisted with clean up half - days on Mondays and Thursdays. The club donated approximately 120 man-hours in addition to 50 man- hours setting up the fencing on the South Beach. Approximately 16 man-hours were spent raking the beach during the fishery in an effort the keep the fish waste to a minimum. Much of this effort is strictly tide dependant during the evening or early morning hours, Fish waste totes were placed on the beach and received some use, particularly when a filet station was placed next to it. Waste from the totes was emptied into a dumpster stationed in the parking lot. Sanitation Facilities Peninsula Pumping provided portable toilet service throughout the fishery. Bid specs were generated this season and distributed for bidding resulting in very favorable costs compared to last season. Savings over last year was approximately $20,760. Portable units were basically serviced twice per day on Friday, Saturday, and Sundays on the North and Side Beaches due to demand. Consideration was given in 2008 to constructing a permanent restroom at the end of Kenai Ave. Based on 2008 service costs, the payback time was projected to be around 6 to 9 years. However, based on 2009 service costs the payback stretches to around 13 to 15 years. c +. Measures to protect the North Beach dunes, including permanent fencing, signage and enforcement, worked extremely well. The fencing was a barrier that served well as a deterrent and provided the necessary durability to withstand abuse. The dunes were noticeably less trampled and healthier at the completion of this fishery than from years past. The Kenai Little League parking lot was once again used for over -flow parking. The Kenai Little League hosted a Major boy's tournament during the first weekend of the fishery but did not pose any conflicts. Parking on Spruce St. was very congested going into the second and third weekend but the American Mission Board volunteers were able to assist immensely by distributing fee envelopes which helped keep the traffic flowing. Allowing parking on the North Beach west of Spruce St. this season relieved some of the congestion that otherwise would have been created in the parking lot and other nearby areas. 19 113 Expense Summary Materials & Contract Services Portable Toilets $15,160 Dumpsters 16,000 *North Side Fencing 40,781 Receipt Books 1,034 No Trespass Signs/Posts 507 4x6 Signage (3 total) 2,520 Misc (propane, batteries, pens, etc.) 645 Info Brochures 300 Colored Maps 250 Phone/Minutes 750 Estimated Fuel Costs 1,000 Sub -total $78,947 *Reimbursable grant - 40,781 Sub -total $38,166 Rental Value (monthly) 1, 1 Ton $1,000 2, '% Ton (1 /4 time) 250 *Auger (2months) 5,000 Sub -total $6,250 *Reimbursable grant - 5,000 Sub -total $1,250 Labor Shack Attendants (1,122 man -his) $21,280 Fence installation - North Beach (1,184 man-hrs) 25,000 Fence Installation - South Beach (24 man -firs) 395 Beach Aidesl (128 man-hrs 2,100 Beach Cleanup During/After (200 man-hrs) 3,675 Misc.

For the days/dates before and after the authorized dipnet fishery the fees would not increase. The increase in fees would reduce the need for cash exchange and the need to carry extra five dollar bills in the shacks, as well as ensure adequate revenues. The recommended fees during the dipnet fishery are follows: North and South beach parking (per 12 hrs) $20 ($0 fee during non-dipnet dates) North and South beach camping $20 ($0 fee during non-dipnet dates) Parking Only at City Dock $15 ($10 fee during non-dipnet dates) Boat Launch at City Dock (includes parking) $20 ($15 fee during non-dipnet dates) Private Property on North Beach Consideration should be given to acquiring remaining privately owned properties along Kenai Avenue. This will add to better preservation and protection of the dunes and surrounding areas. Increase Funding (hrs) for Parks Employees Many of the currently funded hours are being dedicated to the Personal Use Fishery (fee shack operation) leaving shortage of hours for remainder of season, particularly early spring startup and fall. South Beach Permanent Fencing South Beach fencing similar to the North Side should be added for the protection of environmentally sensitive grass areas. Vendors Consideration should be given to better defining a program for vendors wishing to capitalize on the Personal Use Fishery, i.e., registration process, location, fees, etc. 21 IM 210 Fidalgo Avenue, Kenai, Alaska 99611-7794 Telephone: (907) 283-7535, Ext. 236 / FAX: (907) 283-3014 of !P ' 1992 Terry Eubank, Finance Director FROM: Wayne Ogle DATE: September 17, 2009 SUBJECT: 2009 DIP NET SEASON; PUBLIC WORKS CONTRIBUTION This is a summary of the support Public Works contributions to the City's Dip Net operations. 1. 9ignage on North Reach i.e. "No Fire" "No Camping" "Private Property" Reset signs, new 9ncnfinnc Workers Hours Worked Total Man-hrs 12 I Rate Cost Total 3 4 $42.98 $515.76 _ ui meat Operating Hours Total Equipment ate Hours 1 4x4Truck 4 4 $38.00 $152.00 1 Cit backhoe 4 4 $47,50 $190.00 $857.76 2.

The biggest difficulty in accepting credit cards is the connectivity of the fee shacks. None of the shacks have permanent sources of power or communications. The result is slow access time and constant problems with systems needing recharging. Requests by participants to pay with a credit card were mimmal. The one significant issue that could be reduced with a properly function credit card system is the amount of cash received in the fee shacks. Rencomm seas: Until connectivity problems are resolved credit cards are not viewed as an acceptable solution to our cash handling volume. The department will explore the ability to pay fees online as a possible solution. Conclusion: Overall the 2009 dipnet season was a success from the Finance Department's perspective. It is anticipated that the implementation of the Department's, recommendations will assure future success. The safety of our employees continues to be our strongest focus with reducing the amount of cash present at fee stations our number one priority.

As a result, I have been unable to leave my duty shift and attend Commission Meetings. During the past week, I have been selected for a temporary assignment to Washington, D.C., beginning October 11,2009, through April 2010. This offer was sudden and unexpected. While I will be returning intermittently to Kenai during the winter, I am unable to plan these trips around Commission meeting dates. I enjoy the people and the work associated with my appointment to the Airport Commission. As much as I wish to continue on the Commission, I am concerned about my inability to attend Commission meetings in person, and fulfill my responsibilities. i therefore offer my resignation, should you choose to accept it, enabling council to fill this seat with another interested person. Otherwise, I will participate electronically, if allowable, and continue to watch city council meetings via the web. As always, I will continue to support the airport and the city and hopefully can act on your behalf in Washington.

Has your organization registered on federalreporting.gov'? Are you prepared for your organizational responsibilities in managing the ARRA grants that your government will receive? Earlier this month, we sent a letter to the finance officers of our clients detailing certain compliance requirements associated with the. administration of ARRA grants. If your governmenthasbeen awarded an ARRA grant, it may have already.began expending the funds, or will be expending the funds h1 the near future. Unfortunately, in most cases, these grants have significantly more compliance requirements for your administrators than other grants have had. In that regard, the purpose of this letter is to highlight some of these requirements for you and other members of the governing body in an effort to increase your awareness and to aid in your administrative oversight role. A federalreporting.gov - A recipients and subrecipients are required to register with the federal government's new reporting website. Registration began in August, and the OMB has advised us that, to date; fewer than half of all recipients have registered. Registration is critical to allow for timely reporting of grant expenditures. Timely reporting — Direct recipients, of ARRA funds will be required to report their expenditures within 10 days following the calendar quarter beginning with the quarter ending:September 30, 2009. (If your government spent any ARRA funds prior to October 1, 2009, the first quarterly report is due October 10, 2009.) 3601 "C" Street, Suite 600 • Anchorage, Alaska 99503 m (907) 278-8878 • Fax (907) 278-5779 o www.mcacpa.com 110 October 5, 2009 Page two Reporting is via the website listed above and all information posted there is publicly available. Reporting is on a `cumulative' basis, so all grantees will need to keep internal records of the underlying source of information reported. Subrecipients (e.g. ARRA grants passed through to your organization from the State of Alaska) may also be required to report via this website and within a timeframe shorter than ten days. It is important that you maintain an open dialog with your granting agencies to ensure all compliance points are met. r Subrecipient information — The ARRA requires that any organization that passes ARRA funds through to subrecipients provide information about the ARRA requirements, CFDA numbers, and other pertinent data. This information must accompany EVERY disbursement of pass -through funds. ➢ Reporting of ARRA funds on the Schedule of Federal Financial Assistance and the Data Collection Form — The compliance supplement for ARRA funds now mandates that auditors specifically test whether or not an organization has accounted for ARRA funds `separately' from other federal and State financial assistance, and also whether or not the organization has accurately completed a schedule of federal financial assistance including the proper identification of ARRA funds and CFDA numbers. Every grant received by your organization should include this information. If the information is missing, we highly recommend that someone contact the granting agency and obtain the appropriate data ,prior to spending the funds. From the many webcasts and conferences that we have attended regarding the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, it is obvious that the federal government intends for these funds to be spent in a very transparent fashion. They will be scrutinizing the expenditure and reporting of these monies more aggressively and thoroughly than any prior financial assistance. We are encouraging you, as the governing body, to become familiar with the detailed provisions of ARRA and to actively work with your administrative and finance staff to ensure compliance with these provisions. It is important to understand that not fully complying with each of these provisions, as well as the many other relevant requirements, may result in internal control deficiencies, findings of noncompliance, or even a qualified opinion on compliance. Furthermore, all financial statements and single audit reports, including the details of any reported findings or control deficiencies, will be made publicly available on the federal government reporting website. 9M October 5, 2009 Page three For informational purposes, we have listed several websites below regarding ARRA funding that you may find useful.

(907) 283-7373 (VOICE) - 283-2835 (FAX) bob@molloyforcomeit.com TO: Mayor, Council, Administration & Public FROM: Bob Molloy DATE: 10-14-09 SUBJECT: In€ormation Item: Alaska Coastal Communities Global Climate Change Compact City of Kenai residents have expressed interest in the Alaska Coastal Communities Global Climate Change Compact. On the Kenai Peninsula, this Coastal Communities Compact was recently supported by the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly and has been supported by the City of Homer. Attached for your information are copies of the following: - Alaska Coastal Communities Global Climate Change Compact - Kenai Peninsula Borough Resolution 2009-085 (copy unsigned) - City of Homer Resolution 09-38(A) (copy unsigned) I plan to make contacts about obtaining a Scheduled Public Presentation for a future council meeting on the Coastal Communities Compact and renewable ocean energy, climate change and ocean acidification research and education programs, and economic impacts of ocean acidification on coastal communities, which may be similar to the presentation made to the Borough Assembly. RME ALASKA COASTAL COMMUNITIES GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE COMPACT Alaska bas more miles of coastline than all the rest of the United States: ibe vast majority of our'state's residtirits call our coastal communities borne. Tbese communities generate billions in economic activity. From Mettakatla to Kaktovik, people have lived along Alaska's vast coast for tbousands of years and depended on ricb biologi- cal ocean resources for suroivall %day,;tbc cultural identity and survival of Alaska's coastal communities still depend on the ocean resources that support commercial fisbing, tourism, recreation and subsistence. We, the a a kan local and regional governments and elected officials, express our deep concern ' hex oti t change and ocean acidification and issue a call to policymakers to take catastrophic impacts from greenhouse gasY'mns W ,W4 recognize s 2, Ocean acidification is caused by increased carbon dioxide concentrations from the burning offossil fuels and is accelerating. The daily uptake of over 22 million tons of carbon dioxide into the ocean is causing ocean acidification and threatens many farms of marine life by decreasing the ability of certain organisms to build their shells and skeletal structures. Ocean acidification has the potential, within decades, to severely affect marine organisms, food webs, biodiversiry and fisheries. 3. Global climate change and ocean acidification threaten communities in Alaska. Because high latitude regions of the earth are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of global climate change, Alaska has been described as "ground zero' for climate change. Coastal erosion, thawing permafrost, and spruce bark beetle infestations are evidence of climate change in Alaska. In addition, ocean acidification threatens the fisheries char provide food, jobs, and cultural identity to many Alaskans, particularly in coastal communities. 4. Alaskan coastal communities are important to the nation, and Alaska can playa role in addressing climate change and ocean acidification. Alaska produces more than half of the seafood caught in the United States. Alaska also has potential to mitigare climate change and ocean acidification, through development and export of renewable energy technologies that can be used throughout the developing world. 5. There are compelling economic arguments to act now. Positive economic development and diversification of Alaska's economy will be associated with addressing climate change in the state. Furthermore, the economic costs of inaction will be far greater than the costs associated with immediate action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with IPCC recommendations. Page 1 of 3 W10 6. The United States has an obligation to take a leadership role in addressing global climate change. With only 5 percent of the world's population, the United States produces approximately 25 percent of the world's annual greenhouse gas emissions. 7. For the well-being of current and future generations, immediate action must be taken at all levels of government and throughout society to address global climate change and ocean acidification. Given the seriousness of these problems, policies and programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions must constitute a priority when allocating government resources. We berebv express support for the following policies, actions and initiatives: 1. At the national level, immediately enact climate legislation that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions to meet or exceed the goals recommended by the IPCC; e.g, 80 percent reduction from 2000Ievels by 2050. 2. Reengage at the national level in the international process of dealing effectively with global climate change. 3. At the national and state levels, enact legislation and fund initiatives that will dramatically increase energy efficiency and the production of renewable energy. 4. Utilize a significant portion of the proceeds from national cap -and -trade legislation, carbon tax, or other sources to fund initiatives in Alaska that will: develop renewable energy resources • improve energy efficiency in buildings, transportation, etc., in all sectors of the economy • increase public knowledge of issues related to greenhouse gas emissions • create a skilled workforce for a new dean energy economy • help vulnerable communities adapt to unavoidable climate -related impacts • protect or rebuild infrastructure that is threatened by climate impacts • enhance research in the area of ocean acidification enhance research in the areas of energy efficiency and renewable energy, We further express our commitment to: 1. network with other Alaskan coastal communities on the issues of climate change and ocean acidification; 2. encourage actions within our own communities to mitigate climate change and ocean acidification and adapt to unavoidable changes; 3. make wise and effective use of resources provided by the state and federal governments for such actions; and 4. support community efforts to educate the public on these issues.
