Project Description The City is planning to create an Industrial Park subdivision on City -owned land along Marathon Road, KPB Parcel # 04501029. The property is irregular shaped and includes some wetland areas. Scope of Work Our work will include subdividing the property into individual lots along with design and construction contract administration /inspection for road, water and sewer improvements. I will retain a surveying firm to perform design topo, and subdivision surveying, lot staking and platting. We will also have a consultant provide wetlands delineation. Design Design will consist of performing a geotechnical investigation, topographic survey and subdivision platting. The geotechnical investigation will consist of excavating test pits to depths of 10 feet along the proposed route of the road centerline. Test pits will be logged. The topographic survey will be used to determine existing drainage patterns. The topographic survey will record existing street pavement, poles, pedestals mailboxes, driveways, signs, water and sewer utilities, location of underground utilities (gas, telephone, power, CATV) and location /elevations. We will prepare base maps showing the topographic information along with property lines. Maps will be prepared on 22 "x 34" plan and profile sheets at a scale of 1" = 30' horizontal and 1" = 5' vertical. Preliminary subdivision design concepts will be presented to the City for review. We will revise the drawings to include comments by the City. Drawings and specifications will be prepared suitable for competitively bidding the project. Wetlands Determination There are two levels of wetlands determination that are available. A Preliminary Wetland /Upland Boundary Determination can be accomplished by having the Biologist visit the site and dig representative test pits in wetland and upland areas The Biologist would then stake the approximate location of the wetland boundary based on data from a limited number of test pits. Future development of individual lots would require an individual Jurisdictional Determination by the Corps of Engineers to confirm the precise location of the wetland boundary. An Approved Jurisdictional Determination would require a more extensive field investigation by the Biologist and would require submittal of data sheets and wetland boundary mapping to the Corps for approval. If an Approved Jurisdictional Determination is made, development of individual lots could proceed in upland areas with confidence regarding the location of the wetland boundary. One significant limitation to this option is that the approved boundary determination is only valid for five years after the 7 Kenai Industrial Park Page 2 of 2 data of approval by Me Corps. Development after five years would require a new Jurisdictional Determination for each lot. The cost of obtaining an Approved Jurisdictional Determination is estimated to be about double the cost of determining the preliminary wetland /upland boundary. Since the Approved Jurisdictional Determination is only valid for five years, we are proposing to include only the Preliminary Wetland /Upland Boundary Determination on the plat. Construction Contract Administration and Inspection We will provide construction contract administration services from bidding phase through completion of construction. Our services will include full time project inspection to verify that the project is constructed in accordance with the contract documents and design intent. Team Members I have selected the following consultants assist in completing this project for the City: Firm Task McLane Consulting Group Topo survey /Subdivision Platting Taiga Ecological Services Wetlands Delineation Schedule We will prepare a the preliminary plat this fall and continue through the platting process so that the final pat can be recorded by June , 2012. The water, sewer and road design will also be initiated this fall so that the construction can be bid in March 2012, for construction during summer 2012. Fee I propose to perform the engineering services for the design and inspection for a not to exceed fee of $149,925. A breakdown of proposed services is included in the attached spreadsheet. Insurance Our firm currently maintains $1,000,000 professional liability insurance. Sincerely, J.

There is an increasing need for an industrial /heavy commercial center in near proximity to the airport to support the growing level of activity related to west -side Cook Inlet developments, such as Pebble Mine, Chuitna Coal, geothermal exploration, and the proposed Cook Inlet jack -up rig(s). Air freight activities at Kenai Municipal Airport, which service many southwest Alaska Communities, have increased each of the past five years. Fuel and groceries are the primary commodities being flown from the Kenai Municipal Airport. With the decrease in employment opportunities as a result of the closure of Agrium several years ago, and most recently the ConocoPhillips LNG Plant, the development of an industrial park will provide needed opportunities on the Kenai Peninsula. Buccaneer Alaska Operations, LLC (BAO) is presently drilling a natural gas production well on one of the lots in the proposed industrial park subdivision. The access road constructed by BAO will provide access to the first four lots in the industrial park. This project will accomplish the design /permitting, subdivision, construction of access roads, and extension of utilities (water, sewer, electricity, natural gas, telephone, telecommunications) to five lots. Subsequent phases will develop an additional 14 lots. Lot sizes are proposed to range from 1 acre to 3.5 acres. The total cost for the Phase I Development, including value /purchase of property is $2,261,650. The City of Kenai respectfully requests an appropriation of $761,650 (33.7 %) of the project costs.

OMB Subject: City of Kenai, Capital Funding Requests Dear: Thank you in advance for your time and consideration of the City of Kenai's requests. The purpose of this correspondence is to provide information and justification for the projects which have been determined to be priorities by the Kenai City Council. On September 28, 2010 the Kenai City Council, by Resolution No. 2010 -57 adopted the State and Federal Capital Funding Priority List for SFY12 and FFY13. Since adoption of the Resolution circumstances have changed regarding certain priorities. For example, the City of Kenai has applied for funding for energy upgrades to five City facilities through the State of Alaska loan program being administered through AHFC; therefore two of the City's priority projects are already being addressed. The following are six projects for which the City of Kenai would respectfully request your support 1. Kenai River Bluff Erosion /Stabilization - $1,750,000 2. New water Transmission Mains, Phase III - $1,603,710 3. Paving Improvements to City Streets - $1,000,000 4. Kenai Senior Center Vehicle Storage - $400,000 5. Capital Improvements to Support State Personal Use Fishery - $300,000 6. Kenai Industrial Park - $761,650 A brief summary of the above six capital projects follows: KENAI RIVER BLUFF STABILIZATION Requested State Appropriation - $1,750,000 This has been Kenai's number one priority project for over 10 years. The US Corps of Engineers (COE) has expended over $2.5 million in Federal appropriations for pre- design, project feasibility, economic analysis, and environmental documentation. The cost estimate is approximately $30 million and the City of Kenai has approximately $10,6 million in -hand (including previous State appropriations of $2,25 million). With an additional State appropriation of $1.75 million the local share (35 %) will be met. The COE is finalizing NEPA documentation in anticipation of Federal funding. NEW WATER TRANSMISSION MAINS, PHASE III Requested State Appropriation - $1,603,710 This project is included in the Governor's Capital Budget. The City of Kenai applied through the Alaska Department of Conservation (ADEC) competitive Municipal Matching Grant (MMG) program. This project replaces an aging transmission main which is critical to the City's water utility, and constructs a connection between transmission mains providing system redundancy. PAVING IMPROVEMENTS TO CITY STREETS Requested State Appropriation $1,000,000 The City maintains over twenty miles of gravel surfaced roadways. The cost of maintenance is high and there are health issues with elderly and young from exposure to dust. KENAI SENIOR CENTER VEHICLE STORAGE Requested State Appropriation - $400,000 The Kenai Senior Center provides over 50,000 home delivered and congregate housing meals each year (mostly delivered), and also provides transportation services for seniors, The Kenai Senior Center Service Area is significantly greater than the corporate boundaries of the City. We serve Clam Gulch, Kasilof, Kalifornsky Beach, Salamatof, and all areas in- between. This project would provide inside, heated storage for six vehicles (2 buses, 4 food delivery vans). This would increase efficiency by eliminating warm -up throughout the winter and reduce maintenance costs. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS TO SUPPORT STATE PERSONAL USE FISHERY Requested State Appropriation - $300,000 In 2010 400,000 sockeye salmon were harvested through the personal use fishery at the mouth of the Kenai River. Daily participant levels are estimated at 12,000 - 14,000 on weekends. Generally, fish are cleaned on the shore of the river and fish waste is tossed into the river where it is in short order deposited at the tide line. This volume of fish waste lying on the beach is not only unsightly and unpleasant, but it attracts large numbers of warm blooded animals (primarily birds, but also bears and seals), and the fecal matter from the warm blooded animals creates levels of etroccoci and coliform bacteria near -shore in the Kenai River which exceed EPA water - quality standards. Last year we were contacted by ADEC asking if the City was considering restricting access to the beach, or taking other enforcement actions. This project would construct three mobile fish cleaning stations (north beach, south beach, and boat launch). With 14 an alternative for personal use fishery participants the City would enforce an existing no- littering ordinance and require the use of the fish cleaning stations. KENAI INDUSTRIAL PARK Requested State Appropriation - $761,650 The Kenai Municipal Airport is experiencing growth in cargo and support industries. There is a lack of developed industrial /heavy commercial and in near proximity to the airport. Buccaneer Alaska Operations, LLC has recently entered into an agreement with the City to construct an access road and drill pad for a natural gas production well. The access road is located in a manner to be able to be used as a component of the proposed industrial park. There are many West Cook Inlet projects in the development stages which will require significant support facilities near the Kenai Municipal Airport.

In 2008, the parcel was rezoned from Suburban Residential, Rural Residential and Conservation to Rural Residential. This rezone eliminated a split zone. The property owner originally intended to construct a house on the property. However, after further consideration and considering adjacent development, the property owner would like to use the property for a shop and storage which is consistent with the adjacent properties that are zoned Heavy Industrial and developed with industrial uses. KMC 14,20.270 describes amendment procedures. Section 2 states, "Amendments to the Official Zoning Map shall be considered only if the area to be rezoned contains a minimum of one (1) acre (excluding street or alley rights -of -way) unless the amendment enlarges an adjacent district boundary." This property is larger than an acre and enlarges an adjacent district boundary. The proposed rezone meets the code requirements for an amendment. The parcel is approximately 5.98 acres and privately owned. This property does not have access to City water and sewer, The original intended use of the property was to construct a residential structure. The parcels surrounding the property are zoned Conservation and Suburban Residential 2 to the north, Suburban Residential to the west, Rural Residential to the east, and Heavy Industrial south. The natural drainage 37 1 134 Comment.doc Page 2 flowing through the western and northern part of the property provides a natural buffer between the residential zoned parcels to the north and west. The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Plan is provided as a guide to decision- making and is intended as a generalized vision. "Although the plan discusses and analyzes land use, it does not regulate land use. That is the task of zonings The Plan defines Industrial Land Use as, "The Industrial district identifies areas reserved for manufacturing, warehousing, trucking, marine - related industry and storage, and similar industrial activities. City utilities and safe, convenient vehicular access is critical. Buffers between industrial uses and adjacent non - industrial uses are desirable." Chapter 4 of the Comprehensive Plan discusses the opportunities and challenges for existing and future industrial land use in the City. The Plan notes the need to preserve existing best - located industrial -zoned tracts for future industrial uses.2 The proposed rezone would designate additional property in this area of concentrated industrial development. The property is currently zoned Rural Residential. The parcel is identified in the Comprehensive Plan as Neighborhood Residential which is defined as, The Neighborhood Residential district consists of single - family and multi-family residential areas that are urban or suburban in character. Typically, public water and sewer services are in place or planned for installation. This land use district may include both single - family and multi-family dwellings subject to reasonable density transitions and /or design compatibility. Formal public outdoor spaces (parks) are a critical feature in this district. Small home -based businesses may be accommodated within certain design guidelines. Neighborhood institutional uses such as churches, schools, and day care facilities may be intermixed if they comply with neighborhood design guidelines." The property location and adjacent development do not appear consistent with the Neighborhood Residential land use designation. Buildino Official: No building code issues. RECOMMENDATIONS This is a request to rezone a 5.98 parcel from Rural Residential to Heavy Industrial. The proposed rezone meets the criteria for a code amendment as defined in KMC 14.20.270. The Comprehensive Plan provides guidance in decision- making when considering rezones and land use. This property was originally split- zoned. It is unclear why the property was originally zoned with three zoning districts; however, it is believed it was 1. City of Kenai Comprehensive Plan — Page 26. 2 City of Kenai Comprehensive Plan— Page 38. 38 1134 Comment.doc Page 3 to accommodate the natural drainage flowing through the parcel. The property is severely restricted for development by topography which not only restricts development but also provides a natural buffer between any proposed development and development to the north and west of the developable portion of the land. To provide an idea of the geographic limitations on this property, two exhibits are provided from the Kenai Peninsula Borough lidar. One shows hillshade and the other shows slope. The drawings clearly depict development constraints. The access, development constraints and adjacent industrial development support the requested rezone. The property is accessed via Ervin Street located off Bridge Access Road in an area with commercial /industrial development. Even though properties to the west, north, and east are residentially zoned, it appears the highest and best use of this property is to rezone the property to the industrial zone. The natural geographic separation will provide protection from any industrial development to the residential zones that abut the property. The proposed rezone appears consistent with the zoning code and the Comprehensive Plan. Recommend approval. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Resolution No. PZ11 -34 2. Application 3.

The Comprehensive Plan was funded through a $50,000 grant from the Kenai Peninsula Borough which was matched with $50,000 from the City. The City also provided an additional $7,500 toward the costs for the Town Hall Meeting and collaborative decision training. It is anticipated that this funding will not be sufficient to complete the project as proposed by administration and the consultants. Funds have been encumbered to consultants in the amount of $85,200 ($75,000 to Glenn Gray & Associates & $10,200 to Alaska Map Co.) for the project. Additional public meetings are planned which will increase these fees. In addition to these expenses, there will be ongoing expenses for public meetings including advertising, meeting supplies, mailings, etc. Funds from the project will also be used to print and distribute the draft and final plans. The Town Hall Meeting and training held last year was funded in part by the Comprehensive Plan project. I did not anticipate this expense when projecting costs for the project. In addition, administration would like to engage a firm to conduct a scientific survey for those citizens who may not be reached through the public meeting process. This survey was not included in the original estimate. Ordinance No. 2581 -2011 appropriated $17,470 from State of Alaska revenue sharing to Non - departmental — Transfer to Other Funds to provide additional funding for the Comprehensive Plan Project. This ordinance will appropriate these funds to the Comprehensive Plan project. In FY2011, $20,000 was budgeted for the Comprehensive Plan, Old Town Kenai Development Plan. These funds are not sufficient to produce a development plan. A 59 Comprehensive Plan Project Funding Page 2 large development is being planned by the Kenaitze Indian Tribe which will be located in the Townsite Historic Zone. The proposed development, Dena'ina Health and Wellness Clinic, will have a sweeping impact on the zone. The Comprehensive Plan will review land use in the area, the proposed development, and make recommendations to guide future development in the area. Using the funds to support the costs of the Comprehensive Plan is appropriate and needed. The proposed budget for the Plan with anticipated increased costs: Revenues: Kenai Peninsula Borough Grant $50.000.00 City of Kenai $94,970.00 I Total Revenue $144,970.00 Expenditures: Glaser & Associates, Inc. i 15,10075 Glenn Gray & Associates 85,000.00 12,500.00 Alaska Map Co.

The Fire Department crews have been busy in the local schools teaching our Fire Prevention program with good success. We will be working throughout October and possibly into November to assure that all kids locally receive this training. I reported in September of a CPR program we were involved in with teaching 7"' grade children CPR. As part of this program the children were tasked with then going home and teaching family members. The final numbers are in. At Kenai Middle School, we were able to teach 135 7th Grade children who in turn went home and taught and 'ditional 240 people! This is 375 additional people within the KMS family that were taught this program. We also taught this program at Aurora Borealis with a total of 30 kids and approximately 72 additional people taught for a total of 102 people within the Aurora Borealis family that know CPR. These numbers represent almost 6.6% of the residents within our community that were impacted by this program. We are very happy with this outcome and will work together with Kenai Emergency Services and the local schools to hopefully provide this program again next year. Current call volume for the department is right at 10% above last year. Last year at this time we had 926 calls for service and presently we are at 1028. We expect to break last year's record handily this year. Next month I will have a complete report on the Fire Prevention activities in the schools. 100 the uh f KE AL ALASKA PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT CAPITAL PROJECTS MANAGER October 2011 REPORT TO: Rick Koch, City Manager FROM: Sean Wedemeyer Public Works Director /Capital Projects Manager DATE: October 12, 2011 SUBJECT: Mid - Month Report; Public Works I Capital Projects Public Works: • W &S foreman position closes for application Oct 14th. • Operator 1 position interviews take place Thurs Oct 13'". • Streets department is almost done making sand for winter. • Chemicals for W &S out to bid ASAP.

The Cook Inlet Environmental Monitoring and Assessme t Program (ICIEMAP) is a multi - dimensional research effort undertaken over several years focusing on contaminant analyses in sediments and the water column, with an emphasis on hydrocarbon concentrations and fingerprinting. The field sampling for this project is completed, and the focus is now on developing web access/data visualization tools through a partnership with the Alaska Ocean Observing System (AOOS). A new project led by CIRCAC was recently funded through the Kenai Peninsula Borough that will assess potential winter beluga whale habitat and prey by working with scientists from Alaska Department of Fish & Game and Motes Marine Laboratory to conduct trawl sampling and contaminant analyses on benthic sediments and fish collected during field trips in November 2011 and April 2012, is The Coastal Habitat Program covers several projects that inventory coastal habitats in our areas of concern, and identify and characterize unique and sensitive habitats. Based on the mapping data and imagery we have obtained over the past ten years, EMC is working to develop tools that deliver the complex habitat data and high resolution imagery in ways that are easily accessible to oil spill planners and responders. A Flash Video Imagery 'Fool will be completed in the next several weeks that will provide access to high resolution digital video and over 15,000 photographs, allowing the viewer to see remote coastlines throughout the Cook Inlet, Kenai, Katmai and Kodiak coastlines. In addition, a web -based visualization tool is being developed teat will allow access to a wide array of resoute, habitat, ecosystem, and logistical infonnation for local j emergency response situations. This tool 9 being developed in a way that will also allow NOAA's Emergency Response Management Application' (ERMA), a tool used extensively during response activities for the Deep Water Horizon spill, to access the infonnation during a worst case scenario spill. Several of EMC's coastal ntappiug projects have been recently presented at scientific meetings - including a Man'ooystis kelp project and a new web -based project that links detailed species -level shore station data to the larger ShoreZone aerial survey website, vet+ w. al askaiisheriesaroaa .uovlhabitatlshgrezone . n Two FMC projects are accessing information that 9 provided to government agencies by industry, but is typically difficult to access or interpret in a larger context. EMC contractors are compiling and summarizing the data in ways that are useful to assess potential impacts and risks to Cook Inlet. The Ballast Water Catalog project is n database and on -line toot that provides the user with graphics of sources, volumes and treatment of ships' ballast water and where it is subsequently discharged, The catalog provides the information nmtessay for evaluating risks of introducing non - indigenous species to Cook Inlet via untreated ballast water discharges. A second project compiled Discharge Monitoring Report data and is also providing on -line access to summaries of the various contaminant discharges to Cook Inlet allowed under the National Pollutant Discharge Elitninaiion Systan (NPDES) permit for oil and gas operations. Both projects are in review, and the EMC committee has committed to regularly updating these databases and on -line reports. e Under the Physical Oceanography Program, EMC continues to work towards improving our understanding of Cook inlet's currents and physical environment Staff worked closely with Tesoro in the production of the physical oceanography portion of a training video for pilots on the oceanography of Cook Inlet This multi -pan' training tool will help mariners understand the unique tides, current, weather, ice and other features prevalent in Cook Inlet which pose particular hazards to navigation. m In partnership with the AOOS and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resource Conservation Service, CIRCAC 9 installing a weather station in Kamishak Bay to improve the coverage of near real -time weather information. Good meteorological infonnation is mitical to improve' atmospheric modeling, which in turn is critical for improved ocean circulation models such as those used to predict oil spill trajectories. The station will be a .Snewpack Telemetry (SNOTEL) station placed at McNeil River camp in Kamishak Bay, and will be installed next summer to track precipitation, snow depth, solar radiation, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction, and air temperatures. Protocol Committee (Reviews Oil Discharge Prevention and Contingency Plans) - e This committee reviewed two Of: Discharge Prevention and Contingency Plans since the last Board meeting: XTO Energy's Cook Inlet Middle Ground Shoal Facilities (Platforms "A" and "C ", Marine Fiowlines and Onshore Facility); and Marathon Beaver Creek Oil Production's operations. Prevention. Response, Operations and Safety Committee (PROPS - Provides recommendations for minimizing oil spill risk) — o Installation of the final two Ice Forecasting Network cameras on the XTO "A" platform H nearing completion. Real -time observation of ice flows in Cook Inlet gives us the ability to forecast ice movement to evaluate navigation risks and spill response challenges. es Staff has participated in several spill training Alarming sessions and exercises, including Tesoro, Chevron, and Eseopeta. We also consulted on the re-rating process for the Crucial Skimmer 'fuzzy disc' technology. N Staff reports attending the Pacific States/British Columbia Oil Spill Task Force 2011 meeting, the Pipeline Leak Detection Technology Conference, and the Alaska Regional Response Teach (ARRT) meeting. 104 Probom Solver Real -world solutions and Ideas for government managers Tapping into Young Minds One Caring for 'thai 7 saw votnnteers plant morr 8,000 trees in one day as a refarestation project. A school district uses students' creativity to het the local environment. By Caroline Cournoyer ast year, Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell signed a bill allowing munici- palities to offer tax exemptions on residential renewable energy upgrades. the new law wasn't a legislator's idea, though. It came from a. high school freshman. The legislation, an amend- ment that will make it more affordable for Alaskans to install solar panels or erect wind turbines, was crafted by a 15 -year- old student named Freya Chay. Chay's idea was the result of a stu- dent competition called Caring for the 82 GOVERNING I October 2011 Kenai (CFK), which encourages young people tocome up with ways to improve their local environment and better pre- pare their community for a natural disaster. CFK is more than a contest It's a cooperative effort among schools, gov- ernments, businesses and environmen- tal groups to use young minds to solve some of the region's most pressingenvi- ronmental problems. It's also part of the high school curriculum, and meets state and national standards for science and language arts. 105 For the first time this fall, the CFK model will be expanded nationwide. But teachers in the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District (KPBSD) have been using it for almost two decades. In the wake of the environmentally devastating 1989 eruption of Alaska's Redoubt Volcano — the second- costliest volcano disaster in the United States — Merrill Sikorski, a local public relations consultant, noticed an extreme lack of knowledge about the environment in his community. To fix that, he went straight to the source of knowledge: schools. Sikorski launched a contest asking students to answer one question, "What can I do, invent or cre- ate to better care for the environment on the Kenai Peninsula, or to help improve the area's preparedness for a natural disaster ?" The call for ideas drew about 100 entries in its first year. Today; more than 20 years later, Sikorski says he receives about 500 submissions every year, Stu- dents, he says, come up with fresh, practical ideas that frequently leave lawmakers wondering why they didn't think of them first. In the past decade, CFK student winners have created an environ- mental education curriculum for the district's elementary schools, helped implement a tax credit for property owners who work in river bank preservation and built a wall out of used tires to reduce noise pollution from a racetrack. This summer, a student posted mile markers along the river to help first responders get to emer- gencies more quickly. Once a student thinks of a solution to a local environmental . problem, he or she must conduct research, run experiments, and talk to government, industry and environmental leaders. Then the student must write a final proposal. Representa- tives from local and state government, the school district, industry and environmen- tal groups sift through the proposals to select finalists. Winners take home up to $1,600, and all participating schools' sci- ence departments receive award money as well In addition to judging and aiding research, government officials' most important role in Caring for the Kenai is helping students implement their ideas. Sometimes, this means finding a grant for students to finance their operation. Some- times, it means helping them pass all of the regulations, attain all of the necessary permits and navigate the complex govern= ment agencies that would normally keep their project from becoming more than just a research paper. Although legislators and agency work- ers invest some time —and occasionally some funds —to help students, project awards are funded by two corporate sponsors, the Chevron and Tesoro oil companies, which both operate in the region. The actual projects themselves are typically funded through government was created and offered, along with train- ing to any teacher in the district who wanted it. Donna Peterson, who was the district's curriculum director at the time and later the superintendent, learned about Caring for the Kenai and instantly grabbed onto it "You get tons of people with great ideas," she says. CFK "was absolutely everything we could do and should do." The initiative is no "glorified science fair," says Peterson. Because ideas are actually put into action, students can really observe the difference they can make. And, she adds, the program engages students more than most classroom material. "Most [students] get so cranked up about whatever their issue is, and soon they take off in ways you wouldn't imagine." That increased engagement seems to translate into improve test scores: While major changes in the Alaska state exams make it hard to compare recent scores with those farther the past, KPBSD students now regularly outperform their peers across the state on language arts and science assessments. After two decades of success in Kenai, Sikorski and Peterson have collaborated to make the program adaptable to any school district. So far, districts in California, Hawaii, New York and Washington have already expressed interest in adopting the program. The first step —and the hardest, Sikorski says —is lining up pri- vate sponsors to front the administrative costs and prize money. But once school districts find sponsors, Sikorski says he's confident the program can be a success anywhere. "The [environmental] issues may be different [in other school dis- tricts], but the idea of students thinking and community cooperation in working together for environmental challenges applies anywhere there are two- legged humanoids having a footprint." 0 CFK's 2010. winner Freya Chay, with Gov. Parnell, helped create new incentives for homeowners to install clean enemy systems. grants or additional donations from local businesses. Because of those partner- ships, the CFK projects can actually save the government money. For example, when a water - sampling program for elementary schoolers was at risk of being canceled because the students were destroying the river banks as they walked along them, a CFK contestant designed an aluminum surface that would pre- serve the stream —and the program The project used donated materials and cost approximately $14,000. Had the local or state government carried out the project, according to Sikorski, it would have cost an estimated $200,000. Within a few years of the program's inception, a standards -based curriculum 106 Email ccournoyer@goveming.com October 2011 1 GOVERNING 83 Governor Sean Parnell STATE OF ALASKA September 30, 2011 The Honorable Pat Porter Mayor City of Kenai 210 Fidalgo Avenue Kenai, AK 99611 -7794 Dear Mayor Porter, Thank you for writing to Governor Sean Parnell regarding Kenai student Courtney Stroh's continuing work on her Caring for the Kenai project, "ROC the Kenai."

Although the industry is never ex- pected to be the economic driver it once was - recent activities are re garded more as pralongmeni mea- sures as the mega energy companies begin to pull out of the area because the deposits are too small, it leaves room for smaller, independent op- erators to enter the market. This has produced recent in reased interest in on and gas exploration there The Cook Inlet Region stdl has significant untapped reserves: an esti- mated mean of I9 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, about 600 million barrels of oil, and 46 million barrels of natural gas liquids are available, according to a new assessment by the U.S. Geological Survey (IJSGS). This estimate is of un- discovered, technically recoverable oil and gas resources, and includes uncon- ventional and conventional resources. "What is eaii exciting is what it could mean in terms of well paying jobs and the creation of that kind of infrastructure," Koch says. This devel- opment is more critical than ever - as Agrium closed its Kenai nitrogen fertil- izer operations due to a. shortage of nat- ural gas in. Cook inlet. ConocoPhiii ps' has also announced it will also close its LNG plant in the near future, though the dates are uncertain. Buccaneer Energy Ltd., one of the smaller oil and gas companies that has been doing exploratory drilling since early this year, recently announced a gas discovery made in the Kenai Loop field is estimated to contain 38.3 billion cubit feet, or 4.8 million barrels of oil, which is four tirnes the initial estimate. Additional wells are expected to be drilled before the end of the year and Koch says local leaders are hopeful that it could lead to a significant boost for the region and the state. Koch says, is a shot of optimism fo- Kenai, and to a greater extent Nikisk residents, as it confirms that major of and gas opportunities remain in th Cook Inlet basin. As petroleum industry companie art uacreasiug business in the area ays the City of Kenai is just work toward developing the ai industrial park near the airport so it can Lease lots to new bust. nesses. Based on the Palmer industrial Park model, which was 10 years in the making and now employs 200 locals, 1.5 -acre lots connected with all local utilities, will be leased and the. its is also working to meent tiize business development by offering Lease credits to those that develop the parcels. Koch says the business development plan is based on the belief that companies such as Hilcorp and the Pebble Limited Partnership would take advantage of the central location. Assembly members and borough administrators say they have been approached by business owners who indicated interest in relocating to the Kenai Peninsula, and especially the Nikiski area, 'because it has oil and gas development and dock facilities, The park is expected to be completed by 2016. Although there are similarities be- tweets the sister communities of Kenai and Nikiski, their economies are sub- stantially different, and this is especially apparent when it comes to the visitor industry. Nikiski is more of an industrial belt and is currently going through a transition resulting from due pending closure of the LNG plant there. There is potential growth as it is a. likely stop for visitors on their on their way to the Captain Cook State Recreation area, but currently the potential for new busi- ness development is unrealized, says Shannon Hamrick, Kenai Peninsula Tourism Marketing Council ( PTMC) executive director. of the communities on the Peeninsula . i where most of the residents enjoy the I privacy and quality of life they have and e they are not living in Nikiski because they want to see the area grow.' an the meantime, die North Pen- , insula Recreation Area attracts both central peninsula residents and visitors who come for the indoor swimming pool with a, slide, a picnic and camp- ing area, and popular cross - country ski trails. The Jason Peterson Memorial Ice Rink also draws visitors traveling to the area for hockey tournaments from about November to March. There are also fly -out operators for bear viewing and fishing, as web as some bed and bre kiksts and lodging facilities. Kenai, known for its sportfishing and as a cultural destination, is experiencing grovingpains that are centered around the dipnetting fishery, which Hamrick says "is bein g loved to death," as the area, becomes a. mecca for the sport that attracts tens of thousands of fishermen to a small area of the beach at the mouth of the Kasilof River. As participation in the area increases, so do the number of unhappy residents resulting from fishermen trespassing and vandalizing their property, environmental damage, crowd- control issues, and violation of fishery regulations. The city recently conducted an economic impact survey to see if the impacts on public safety and expenses to the city outweigh the benefits and is evaluating the data for future planning needs. Despite high fuel prices and the na- tionwide economic recession, Ham- rick says the local perception is that the number of instate travelers and independent highway travelers from Outside -- two of the ken' inbound mar- kets - remains fkirly steady. The KP MC also continues to de- velop the small convention and meeting market, attracting groups of up to 150 to the Kenai Visitors and Cultural Center in downtown Kenai. Another promis- ing market is birders and the KVFMC is working cooperatively to develop a landing platform on the Kenai fiats and actively promote the annual Ke- nai Biding Festival, which showcases area birds, Hamrick says. Besides the economic development that results for Kenai, surrounding communities also benefit from events like these.32 ' October 2011 "Opportunities tun_it for growth need to be looked at so a plan can be developed to take advantage of them based on what Nikiski residents want," Harnrick says, adding that residents live here for the remoteness and any development would need to be grass roots.
