Re: Ordinance 2630 -2012
The purpose of this memo is to provide additional information in support of Ordinance 2630-
2012 which will appropriate funds billed and to be received from Buccaneer Alaska LLC (BA
LLC).
BA LLC has conducted three dimensional seismic surveying of the Kenai area in an effort to
map existing and identify new deposits of natural gas for exploration and development. BA LLC
requested and was granted an excavation permit for access to City owned lands and right -of-
ways in performance of the seismic surveying. As a condition of that permit, and in an effort to
protect public and private property, BA LLC was required to reimburse the City for an
independent observer who was present during seismic mapping when in proximity to public
structures or City infrastructure.
The City contracted with the engineering firm of Ilattenburg Dilley and Linnell for these
observation services at a total cost of $16,005. This ordinance will appropriate the funds billed
to BA LLC for the payment of these services.

precludes its use to other purchases meeting the purpose of such a fund; and,
WHEREAS, the fund should be available to be utilized for the purchase of any
significant equipment, equipment which is anticipated to cost in excess of $50,000,

Re: Ordinance 2635 -2012
The purpose of this memo is to support amendment of KMC 7.25.110 Equipment Replacement
Fund (ERF), to expand the use of the fund to any significant capital purchase the purchase of
which is better spread over the useful life of the asset and thus eliminating the significant
budgetary impact on the operating fund when paid for in a single budgetary period.
The purchase of significant equipment, equipment costing in excess of $50,000, who's
replacement is scheduled is traditionally accomplished through and internal service fund like the
City's ERF. The City's ERF limits purchases to "heavy" equipment and ignores other possible
uses meeting the traditional use of such funds. The FY20I3 Budget proposes using the
Equipment Replacement Fund to purchase the network infrastructure necessary to virtualize the
City's network. The cost of this computer equipment is estimated at $100,000 with a useful life
of five years.
The ERF is the perfect vehicle for the purchase of this equipment allowing the City to fund the
purchase over five years at a rate of $22,777 per year rather than a single $100,000 purchase in
FY2013. The long -term schedule of replacements and payments for the Equipment Replacement
Fund provided by the City Manager in his FY2013 Budget transmittal shows the find is able to
fund this purchase without impacting other planned replacements.
Amendment to the language of KMC 7.25.110 by removing the word "heavy" will expand the
use of the fund to other purchases meeting the intent and purpose of an ERF.

2. Ordinance 2012 -10; authorizing a land exchange to facilitate a joint plan of subdivision with Cook Inlet
Region, Inc. for Widgeon Woods Phase 2 Subdivision,
Staff Report given by Marcus Mueller
PC Meeting: 4/23/12
The Woods Drive relocation and Widgeon Woods Subdivision project is nearly complete. Approximately
3,0(70 feet of Category IV road was realigned onto KPB owned land In 2011. Roads and utilities have
been installed to serve a 45 -lot subdivision that was designed in cooperation with the adjacent owner,
Cook Inlet Region, Inc. The original alignment of Woods Drive intersected approximately one - quarter mile
of Cook Inlet Region, Inc. i "CIRI ") land. By relocating Woods Drive and combining CIRi's useable land
wills KPB land in the same subdivision, the parties are able to maximize the value and utility of the Sand for
their respective purposes.
The resulting subdivision created six lots that created joint ownership. Three are to be owned by CIRI and
three are to be owned by KPB. Approximately three acres are subject to the exchange with each party
receiving interest in approximately 1.5 acres.
The ordinance authorizes the Mayor to enter into an agreement to exchange KPB's interest in three
parcels of land for CIRI's interest in three parcels of land in Widgeon Woods Subdivision. Your
consideration of this ordinance is appreciated.

RE: PZ12 -02 (Revised) —Section Line Easement' Vacation Flat Associated with Kenai
Landing Cottages Subdivision No. 1
Dear Mr. Voeller:
The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the above - referenced plat at their meeting on
March 28, 2012. The proposed section line vacation had been reviewed in February, As was
noted in the previous review, the proposed vacation will eliminate a longstanding problem
wherein buildings were built across the section line long before the City issued building permits.
The new proposal does not dedicate a portion of the section line as an extension of Old Cannery
Road. Eliminating this dedication removes any requirement for construction of the right -of -way.
The City was provided a copy of the easement that would be recorded identifying the public
access easement. This document places reservations or. the easement. The Commission .
unanimously approved the proposed vacation with the following contingency:
That the alternative access easement does not diminish or place additional hnits on
the public's rights beyond what are granted to them by the existing Section Line
Easement.
Attached are copies of the staff comments, the signed resolution and minutes of the meeting.

ANALYSIS:
This is a revision to a section line easement vacation reviewed by the Commission on
February 8, 2011 A copy of the February 8t" packet materials is included for reference.
The February 8th plat dedicated a portion of the section line as the Old Cannery Road and
vacated the remainder. The revised plat does not dedicate that portion of the section line.
Eliminating the dedication removes any requirement for construction of the dedicated
right -of way.
The proposed 50' public access easement shown on the plat has not changed. The City
was provided a copy of the public access easement that will be recorded. The easement
will be recorded before the final plat is recorded. A plat note will be placed on the final
plat referencing the recorded easement. This document includes a description of the
easement and reservations placed on the easement. {Copy attached.} There is a concern
relating to these reservations as to whether the public's access is protected.
1113KORM 1=20cs
This plat identifies the proposed section line vacation that transverses the Kenai Landing
property. The vacation will eliminate a long- standing problem wherein buildings were
built across the section line. Department of Natural Resource's general policy is that the
M
PZ12 -02 (Revised) — Comments
Page 2
replacement access must be equal or better than the access provided by the section line
easement.l It appears the proposed alternate public access casement meets this standard.
The concern is that the reservations being placed on the easement may reduce the public's
right. The City supports the vacation if the reservations being placed on the proposed
easement are written to protect the public's right and is consistent with similar public
easements dedicated to access public resources.
Recommend approval with the following:
1. That the alternative access easement does not diminish or place additional
limits on the public's rights beyond what are granted to them by the existing
Section Line Easement.

Re: Monthly Report
I �
The past month has been a busy one with much of the department's focus on the
preparation of the FY2013. Budget Ordinance introduction is schedule for the
May 16th Council meeting with adoption at the June 6th meeting. City code
requires adoption by June 10th. The Resolution establishing the 2012 mill rate is
included in the packet as an information item and will be introduced for adoption
at the June 6th Council meeting.
The department is assisting employees with health care open - enrollment. This is
the only time during the year an employee may begin or terminate coverage for
dependents without a qualifying event such as marriage, divorce; birth of a child,
adoption, etc.
Insurance renewals were due last month and I am expecting another good
renewal year. There is a bit of uncertainty surrounding the losses In Japan due
the earthquakes and resulting tsunamis. Additional information will follow as the
renewal is finalized. The City also submitted its premium credit application for
the upcoming renewal year.
The department is preparing for IT projects that are included in the FY2013
Budget with the intention of implementing changes earlier rather than later in the
new fiscal year should these projects remain in the budget.

At the Fire Station, it is the calm before the storm. The seasonal change from winter to spring will bring a
different flavor of emergencies to respond to. Even with the tremendous amount of snow we had this winter,
brush fires will be a challenge. The quick break up we experienced will leave even drier conditions than we
typically see. We had our first brush 'fire of the season May 7 °h 2012 and it was started by children playing with
fire. An early notification and a fast response led to a quick extinguishment with. no spread.
Spring will again bring many visitors to the City and we anticipate an increase in run volume as we have in years
past Presently even with the current doldrum we are experiencing, our run volume is up 5% from last year.
Crews will be starting summer projects soon including testing all fire hydrants in the City, testing all the hose that
have in inventory, pump testing all the apparatus and testing aIl the ground ladders.
At the end of April, the Fire Marshal attended the State of Alaska Arson Investigator's conference in Wasilla and
Training in Anchorage. Firefighter Scott Summer completed his "Pasting for his State of Alaska Firefighter II
certification. He now joins the ranks of the entire department being certified at that level. Congratulations to
Scott.
In the end of April we hosted the Hep -B vaccinations for city employees at the Fire Station. Thanks to Battalion
Chief Prior for coordinating that for the City,
We are staying involved with Kenai Peninsula College and their Paramedic Ride a long program and continue to
host child Car Seat Checks at the Fire station. Thanks to Firefighter Coots and Firefighter Lehl for their
dedication to that program.

Dear Mayor,

Enclosed, please find your billing for your Alaska Municipal League dues for FY 2013.
The Alaska Municipal League is the only statewide organization that lobbies for
Revenues Sharing, Secure Funding for Rural Schools (Timber Receipts) and Payment
in Lieu of Taxes (PILT). All three of those funding sources bring much needed
revenues to your community. This year, we were successful in not only maintaining the
annual Revenue Sharing amount that we secured in 2007, but in also guaranteeing
each municipality a 41 % increase in that amount. Those checks should arrive in your
city sometime in July of 2012.
Throughout the Legislative Session, we monitor and lobby on bills that will have an
impact on your community and the way you do business. We have had, through our
ability to join our voices, influence on bills ranging from PERS, to land use issues, to
permitting, to taxing and local control. We also continue to keep you up -to -date on all
state and federal issues that help you in your position as local elected officials. We
provide the opportunity for all of you to have a voice in the positions we take.
We send weekly ebulletins to you throughout the Legislative Session; along with a
quarterly magazine which keeps you up on local government. We provide four
opportunities for you to gather with other local elected officials and employees in order
to receive training, Information, and the chance to visit with your peers. We also give
you the opportunity to take advantage of lower insurance rates through our "pooled"
carrier, Alaska Municipal League Joint Insurance Association and/or to invest your
money in a "pooled" investment account through the Alaska Municipal League
Investment Pool.
We are strong members of the National League of Cities (NLC) and the National
Association of Counties (NACo) where we deal with federal issues that affect your
Alaskan municipality. We keep in close touch with our Alaskan delegation and give you
the added benefit of having their ear, as welt.
Alaska's municipalities are so much stronger when we address our issues together. We
have a strong voice in our state capitol and with your help and support, we can continue
to keep it that way. Your membership dues are what enable us to keep this office open
and provide the staff that secures Revenue Sharing; keeps bad bills at bay; helps tackle
Alaskan local government issues; helps lead you to the people you need to meet; and
Member of the !National League of Cities and the National Association of Counties

gives you and your fellow Assembly /Council members and employees training and
information in order to run a more efficient and effective local government. Please don't
hesitate to be a part of this very strong organization. We need ALL of us. Please call
our office anytime for help with any municipal need or question you may have.
Sincerely,
Kathie Wasserman
Executive Director
