Mr. Rick Koch, City Manager
City of Kenai
210 Fidalgo Ave.
Kenai, Alaska 99611-7794 March 5, 2007
Dear Mr. Koch:
This correspondence outlines a "statement of need" from the owners of Kenai Landing with
respect to the formation of a privately owned and operated water system within the Kenai city
limits. We have requested city council hearing and approval of the necessary waivers or permits
to move forward with our application to the State'D.E.C. and the Regulatory Commission of
Alaska.
Kenai Landing is currently served by an aged water system that was designed for seasonal fish
processing and employee housing. Within Che last few years, Kenai Landing has expanded the
historic services to include a broader range of activity, and an expanded operating season. The
need for a Class A "public" water system is immediate and apparent as we proceed with
expansion and upgrades of existing enterprises, including lodging, restaurant and fish processing,
as well as development of our new "Home Port" residential housing development.
Home Port Condominiums is modeled after historic waterfront districts that combine residential
living with pedestrian friendly, light commercial activities. We project densities of
approximately 52 units, in a mix of detached and multi-family attached housing. The design and
administration of this community precludes the use of individual water wells, and lends itself
perfectly to the development of a community water system. As the developer and Declarant of
Home Port, Kenai Landing, Ina (KLI) will operate and maintain the water system to serve the
water service district, which will include Kenai Landing, the Home Port Homeowner's
Association and the adjacent Salamatof Native Association land. A fee will be charged to users
of the system.
KLI is currently conducting a feasibility study, including estimates of construction and
maintenance costs, as well as anticipated revenues. The addition of SNA's land Co the south and
west of KLI is necessary and desirable to effect economies of scale, to reduce environmental
impacts of individual wells, and to maximize development options for the landowner. SNA is
joining KLI in this application, and has the current intent to participate, subject to review and
approval of the feasibility analysis.
We are therefore requesting that the Kenai City Council authorize the City Manager to support
KLI in its application to construct and operate a class A water system and to obtain a finding of
"Public Convenience and Necessity" for KLI. As apre-condition to our application, the City will
need to create a finding that public water service is not presently available in and around Kenai
Landing and the SNA land, and that the city has no plans to provide water service, both of which
appear consistent with existing circumstances.
We will be attending the hearing on March '7th in order to answer any questions that may be
presented by the Council.
Sincerely,
Ion Faulkner, Kenai Landing

ALASKA METFI EDUCATION PR®JECT
A STATEWIDE TRI-BOROUGH PROJECT
P.O. Box 196654 Anchorage, AK 99519-6650
www.AlaskaMethEd.cam 745-3323
January 24, 2007
Memo To: Community Mayors
Memo From: Tim Anderson, Coordinator, Alaska Meth. Education Project
Subject: Scope of Work for Meth Education Program
The purpose of this memo is to provide background information and a proposed scope of work
for the Alaska Meth Education Project (AME Project}.
Backeround Information;
In April 2006, Mat-Su Borough Mayor Tim Anderson approached U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski
about the federal funds available to address the growing meth problem in Alaska. Other states
were receiving these funds on an earmark basis, why not Alaska? Mayor Anderson was askedYo
go back to Alaska and organize a local effort and bring her back a plan and program and she
would help. In May of 2406, the Tri Borough Commission agreed to sponsor and help develop a
Meth Education program to combat a growing problem in Alaska and the nation. Mayor
Anderson approached the other two large gopulation area governments (3uneau, and Fairbanks}
to join the effort to starC a statewide meth education campaign to educate Alaskans about the
dangers of meth and to prevent youth from trying meth even once. The intent was each Borough
would contribute or raise local pi7vate funding to start the program and that would be used as a
match to obtain federal and state matching funds. Federal funding is still pending; however we
did receive a State appropriation Chis year.
It was also agreed that the City of Anchorage would serve as the administrative arm for this
project and that the project would be recommended by The AME Board, composed of two
members from. eaoh participating Borough. The MOA Mayor's office hired me and is using the
Mayor's budget to pay my wages. The City of Anchorage has established an account at the
Alaska Community Foundation to receive the funds and to serve as the treasury for this project.
All the contributions from. the Boroughs and other sources will be deposited into this account and
disbursements will we made in accordance with the policy of the account.
Scope of Wort:
The mission of the AME project is to develop a program that will provide prevention education
materials, via many different methods of distribution, on the growing meth issue in the State of
Alaska. We do not intend Co re-create the wheel and we will utilize the best of existing practices
and programs from around the counu}+. We intend to work with any existing programs to assist
and enhance them if possible. The main goal is to have a central website full of meth
3
information and referral links. We purchased the domain name - www.AlaskaMethEd.com -and
this site has been developed and is up and running.
The first step we took was to commission a statewide study to determine what, if any meth
education programs already existed in the State. That study basically indicated that there is very
little happening in providing meth education in Alaska, and there is no focused education effort.
This study is posted on our web site.
We are getting the news ouC to as many agencies as possible. We then plan to do a media
campaign using television, radio, and newspapers. Successful programs in other states have used
this approach by launching a media blitz including some g3•aphic examples of what meth can do.
Next we want to develop and disa7bute meth resource kits to every community in Alaska. The
idea is to put put videos, print materials, and training materials in each community sa they can do
more local education. We also intend to assist with the development of written materials that can
be distributed to our School Districts, Youth Clubs, parents, medical facIlities, and other sources.
We would tike to~ponsor a statewide Meth Conference at some point to share information. We
also recognize that there are many local. efforts taking place now. I have come across these
programs as I talk to Alaskans and most are good grograms. We want to work with these efforts
and provide small grants far materials and other costs.
The secondary goat is to seek additional matching Funding for this project. We have already had
considerable interesC from the private sector to contribute to thisproject The local government
funding will provide the seed money to get the whole process started. It was never the intent of
this program to start an on-going program that would be funded by local government. That
should be strictly voluntary.

STRATEGIC PLAl~1
impact of Meth
"The meth epidemic in the U.S. began in the Western part of the country and is moving East.
The inereasingay widespread production, distribution and use of meth are now affecting urban,
suburban and rural communities nationwide. County governments across America are on the
front lines hi responding to the methampheCaminecoses."(NACO, "The Meth Epidemic in
America").
' Methamphetamine production and abuse causes legal., medical, environmental and social
problems for communities across the nation. As meth users are jailed and incarcerated, our state
government must absorb the costs. The tremendous economic and social costs associated with
the meth problem affect every community and include law enforcement and incarceration;
domestic violence; clean-up of clandestine lab sites; theft, burglaries, and other property crimes;
emergency medical treatment; HIVlAIDS; workplace violence; environmental contamination;
murders and suicides.
In 2005, a survey of 200 hospitals, by the National Association of Counties, found Chat there
were more meth-related emergency room visits than any other drug. Hospitals across the
country reported methamphetamine as the top illicit drug involved in presentations at their
hospitals. They also reported an increase in the number of meth-related visits to the emergency
room over the past 5 years. Most of these patients lacked health insurance, and as a result costs
at these facilities have increased because of the growing meth problem. (NACO).
Methamphetamineiaboratories in Alaska arc being operated increasingly in single and
multifamily residences in many neighborhoods Children are frequently found living in these
mekh lab sites and many continue to live in Chese dangerous environments exposing them to great
risk for physical, emotional, and developmental harm. These children frequently suffer from
respiratory conditions, are malnourished and experience developmental delays. Children who
live in homes where methrsused but not manufactured were also found to have high rates of
sexual. abuse and neglect. The cost of one meth-exposed infant over his or her lifespan can total
over $1.7 million dollars. This estimate includes Che costs to sohool systems for special
education and other services for these children estimated at approximately $75,000 per child.

The Alaska Methamphetamine Education Project
Local governments began efforts to address meth in 2005 by placing the Methamphetamine issue
on their Legislative Priorities lists. using various models from other states, the Alaska
- Metharnphetamine Education Project (AME Project) was implemented in October ?A06 in
response to the devastating consequences Alaska communities ware experiencing from
methamphetamineprodurtion and usage. AME's goal is to provide information through the
media and, any other way possible, training and technical assistance on comprehensive,
community-wide strategies far addressing the methamphetamine problem that focus on both
reducing the supply of and demand for meth.
Trainings will provide key background information needed for community awareness and the
resources needed for communities to implement proven strategies. The goal is to help
comrnnnities address the meth problem at the local Ievel.
The success of meth prevention efforts is dependent upon the extent to which schools, law
enforcement, parents, businesses and other community systems and groups work
comprehensively and collaboratively fo implement a full array of education, preventian;
enforcement and treatment initiatives. The AME Project will bring a variety of interdisciplinary
partners to the table to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to combat the meth
problem here imAlaska.
The specific array of strategies and programs AME hopes to develop for communities to
implement include 1}building public awareness; ?) providing targeted education and skill.
building; 3) changing specific features of the environment; 4) seeking relevant changes in
policies and practices of key local institutions.
Snilding Public Awareness
Community Awareness; Focus on educating multiple community sectors about how to identify
and report methamphetamine activity and how to address the meth prablern in a community.
Awareness activities include town hall meetings, trainings, community-specific educational
materia]s, and implementation of meth watch programs.
Sectors targeted include parents, property owners, hotel/motel employees, neighbarhood
residents, chance encounter occupations including realtors, gas service employees, and hunters,
judges, prosecutors, day care providers, child protective service workers, and health care
professionals.
Media: Efforts include public service announcements and paid advertisements, for television
and newspapers, news conferences, and press releases with subsequent coverage of events. The
project has a website <AiaslcaMethcl_cam> which provides access to information and resources.
Future plans include developing a quarterly newsletter to distribute to individuals in communities
across Che state with updated information about resources available, legislation, training
opportunities, and current trends.

Trainings: Future plans to provide training that focuses on recognition of meth activity, safety
information, and general information about meth. ("Meth i0Y'} are being discussed, including the
possibility of web-based trainings.
Community Buy In: Development of a community methamphetaminepcevention "toolldt" that
contains a manual with in-depth information about implementation strategies; CD-rom or DVD
with presentations for multiple target audiences, videos, and brochures. We plan to distribute
these kits to every community in Alaska.
Changing Specific Features of the Environment
Meth Watch: Created in Kansas in 2000, MethWatch utilizes signage fo deter theft and purchase
of precursor products in retail stores, includes an employee training program, educates customers
and encourages reporting of suspicious transactions to law enforcement. Outcomes include
reduced thefts of precursor products and increased arrests based on intelligence from retail
personnel. This program is currently being coordinated by a partner agency in Fairbanks,
Alaska.
Rural Strategies: Focus on working with AFN, Traditional Counoils Nativa Elders, Community
- Councils, and local governments about how Yo best educate and reach those living in mrallbnsh
.communities.
Provide Targeted Education and SkiBis Building
School and Youth Involvement: Partner with Safe and Drug Free Schools programs to insure
that effective drug prevention curricula and programming are implemented in the schools; usage
of meth-specific curriculum such as Midwest High Intensity Drug Trafficking area; presentations
to youth in schools;; in-service trainings for teachers an other school staff; special events in
schools; involving existing youth. organizations (e.g. Bays and Girls Clubs, Boy Scouts, Girl
Scouts)
Relevant Changes in Policies anal Practices in Z~ey Institutions
Currently, there are few laws in Alaska that deal specifically with issues related to the
manufacture and use of ma[hamphetamine.
HCR4 -- Establishment of a Meth Watch program passed the Legislature in 2006.
^ H.B. 149 -a law relating to the sale of Mefhamphetamine and Precursors, which was
enacted June 6, 2006 and effective on that same date. This bill establishes new laws
governing the purchase, sale and sales record requirements for non-prescription cough.
and cold medications that contain ephedrine, pseudoephedrine or phenylpropanolamine.
This bill restricts the amount of pseudoephedrine base product a person can acquire to six
grams within. a 30-day period. Customers must show identification and sign a pharmacy
log. The law was passed in response to an increase in activity after other states passed
simil:u~ laws.
The Anchorage Assembly on October 11, 2005, passed ordinance AO 2005-98 adding the
sale of mathamphetamine precursor drugs to Chapter 8.90 of the municipal code.

Qt@er Strategies to pursue
Seek to make relevant changes in policies and establish laws making meth related activity in the
presence of children a crime.
Drug Endangered Children. Programs-currently Alaska does not have a Drug Endangered
Children Program. However, there is the Alas]<a Children's Justice Act Task Force that works to
identify areas where improvement is needed in the statewide response to child maltreatment.
particularly child sexual. abuse, make recommendations and take actions to improve the system.
Minigrants: Start up funding awarded Co evmmunities fvr implementation of meth prevention and
education efforts.
Resource Materials: Use of the web site as a resource Library with links to other pertinent
information. Provide press releases, statistics and multiple documents which can he updated
with community specific information; and other materials; quick reference cards for home
visitors.
Outcomes in Alaska.
The vutcomes we hope to achieve through the AME project are:
• To change the perceptions abvut the supply, demand, and use of Methamphetamine
• To see a reduction in thefts of precursor products
• Reduced use of meth by youth.
• Reduction of perceived availability of meth by youth
• Improved collaboration between pubI"re(private agencies
• Increased public awareness.

Ten Lessons for Effective Meth Prevention
(From the Kansas Meth Prevention ProjecC)
1. The meth problem will not be solved through law enforcement or any single sector alone.
Meth is amulti-dimensional problem that demands comprehensive, coordinated solutions
involving the collaboration of multiple community sectors including law enforcement and other
first responders, health care professionals, social service praviders, treatment providers, retailers,
farmers, youth schools, parents, faith communities, court system representaCives and media.
2. The need to build and sustain effective prevention infrastructures in communities must be
instilled as a national, state and community value because as funding priorities shift and drug
trends change, effective prevention efforts are often cut or eliminated.
In Kansas, the utilization of a statewide prevention infrasn-ucture which includes a Regional.
Prevention Center system that provides training and technical assistance to communities across
the state, access to data from the statewide Communities that Care school survvey, and utilization
of an online evaluation and documentation of meth prevention efforts.
The provision of experttechnical assistance, resources and training for communities is essential.
Success [in .Kansas] was related to a coordinated, reliable organization which could provide
current informatian relevant to their community abaut the issue, data to demonstrate the need for
efforts, and support for ongoing efforts.
4. The Safe and Drug Free Schools and Communities program is the foundation of which other
school based prevention efforts are built. The program provides the only portal into schools
for community anti-drug efforts. This program is a component of any comprehensive strategy
to address meth issues in communities around the country.
5. Effective meth prevention must be data driven, from the initial collection of baseline data to
determine the extent of the problem through program implementation and evaluation of
outcomes over time, [No more denial. of problem]
6. Programs and policies can be implemented at the state level but community-level involvement
and buy-in is essential for meth prevention to work and obtain measurable results.
7. Small amounts of start-up funding can engage communities in comprehensive efforts to combat
meth that leverage other community resources and major levels of citizen involvement,
8. In comntunieies with existing coalitions to addross substance abuse, efforts ware more quickly
implemented and had more success.
9. To be optimally effective, communities need to pick the specific programs they implement from
the four core program components [build public awareness; targeted education and skills
building; change specific features of the environment; seek relevant changes in
policies/practices] to fit their local needs, based on Iacal data and circumsta,~ees.

Craig
Legislators: Senator T. Wagoner, Representatives M. Chenauli and K. Olson
Discussion took place on the following items:
• HB 375 -- Council supports it.
• PERS/TERS -- Continents included there shauld be no pressure from
AML for municipal assistance and revenue sharing if the State makes a big payment
toward the PERS/PERS costs.
• Improvements to the Kenai Spur 1-lighway between Soldotna and I{enai --
the project is not on the STIP list, but S5 million had keen set aside two years ago for
these improvements. Perhaps consider the state funding the city to contract with the
state to do the work.
+ Statewide Sales Tax -- Municipalities are concerned a statewide sales tax
would cut huge amounts from the municipalities which are used to fund services -- a
negative impact.
• Review of the City's CIP List, noting the top two were bluff erosion and

MEMO:
TO: Gity Council
FROM: Rick Koch, City Manager
DATE: March 2, 2007
SUBJECT: Kenai River Bridge Access Road Pathway Project
The purpose of this correspondence is to provide information regarding the above
referenced project, foster Council discussion, and request direction from the Council.
On February 15, 2007, I was contacted by Mr. John Dickenson, the project manager with
ADOT/PF and. informed he wished to close-out this project. The primary reason far his
desire to close-out the project was the lack of funding Co complete the Environmental
Assessment (EA), and no indication of future project funding to support eonstrucfron.
My reaction was to inform Mr. Dickenson the City did not wish to close-out this project
as it had been identified as community need, and there was substantial support for the
project. I also informed Mr. Dickenson that I had met with Todd Van Hove and .Iohn
Tolley, of the ADOT/PF Planning, during the fall of 2006 and expressed that same
sentiment. At that meeting Mr. Bove and Mr. Tolley told me they would look info the
status of the proj ect and provide me with current information. To date I had not heard.
from them.
The conversation ended with Mr. Dickenson. telling me he would speak with ADOTtPF
Planning and call me back.
Having not heard back from Mr. Dickenson by February 26"', I called him and scheduled
a meeting to speak with hen and Todd Van Hove by teleconference on February 28"'
During our teleconference, both individuals told me they were out of money, and would
be unable to carnplete the EA, and they also identified other reasons why they
57
recommended closing out the project. I have included the information they sent me as an
attaalmient to this correspondence,
There are potential sources of ftmding available if ADOTlPF alyd the legislature are
supportive. It is my intent to discuss this with AAOT/PF and legislators during my
upcoming visit to Juneau. Unless the Council directs me to not investigate other potential
finlding sources, i will do so.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.

Kenai River Bridge Access Road Pathway Project
(Need ID 6662)
Below is a list of the Pros and Cons discussing whether or not the Department of Transportation
should claw out the Kenai River Bridge Access Road Pathway project or not, The City of Kenai
has asked the Department to continue to work on the projeat in the hopes that someday it wi11 be
constructed.
PROS
I} There is no money available to fund the
completion of the environmental document.
2) There is no money in the TRAAK
program to build the project.
3) Tf we finish the document it could
recommend a no build alternative.
CONS
1) If we find money to finish The eunent
project we won't have to pay back FHWA
for maney already spent.
2) We can get to a claw out point, complete
the current environmental document and put
it on the shelf waiting for construction
funding.
4) If we suspend the current project wa can
come back later to complete an
environmental document supporting a build
alternative.
4) Even if we complete Che environmental
document it may have to be completely
redone by the Lime a prof ect is funded for
construction.
5) FHWA has suggested. we close out the
project with the possibility of no payback
for money already spent.
6) The resource agencies are opposnrg the
build alternatives becauso ofpotential to
disturb nesting waterfowl.
7) The ctu-rent material in the document is
out dated and will have to be nearly
completely reestablished to complete it.
8) There has not been a significant public
demand for constructing in the near future.
9) We can collect the data already gathered
by the consultant and use if far future
starting point if the project or program is
ever resurrected.
3} Continue a project supported by the
community.
S) The project has valid purpose and need
as a key oonneetion in the unity Trail
system.

without repeating the entire finding process. Hgwaver, annually, before holding a sale, ADNR must
issue a Cal[ for New information to deteamine whether a supplement to the finding is required.
To facilitate the fending process the Division is requesting [nfonnatiou from agencies. locai

Dear Mayor Porter:
It has come to my attention that the City of Kenai through their Library Commission is
once again considering an expansion of your City Library.
As you know I have supported an expansion of the facility for many years. Speaking
nvw from a perspective of Borough Mayor, f can tall you. that our friends and neighbors
from all across the Borough know of, often use, and most support the concept of
expansion. In recent discussions with some parents they advised me that the Library is a
tremendous resource' for materials related to the education of our children and that often
times the children, as well as the parents, wvuld much rather use our city library than the
school libraries. Reasons often inolude availability during Gimes when schools are not
open, extra materials that cannot be found in school libraries, and just the all around
friendly atmosphere of the facility.
Please assure not only our library commission but vur city council as' well that they have
my full. support and that I wish you Beery success in their endeavors to bring about the
expansion of the Kenai City Library.
Sincerely, _---------~~~
John J. Witliams

the 2006 Arctic Winter Garner. Our dispatchers staffed the Gamas Cornntunications Center at the PRISM Fhe Training
Facility. providing radio and video communication links at cornpetftian venues from Girdwood to Homer. Additionally,
the department provided site securih at five Kenai schools which served as competition venues and fining q}rarters.
The year ?006 was the busiest ever for fhe department, which answered 7.7813 calls for service, a f0°/a increase iu teva
years. The increase in activity is spread across civil and. criminal. response categories. One of the positive factors
hrfluencing pohce activih is the improving health and momentum of our business clunate in Kenai, and. this brings more
people to town.
The Annual Report is a composite surrurran of Police, Communisations, Animal. Control. and Code Ertforeernent
department activities. Tha department is cornnutted to a responsive delivery of a broad range of public safety services,
and ornplo}+s innovative problem salving as we work together with the eorrrrrmnitj~ of Kenai to make our Cit} a pl•tee
where all people live safeh+ and without fear.
The credit for the outstanding work of the Kenai Police Department goes to the rnen and women who staff it 24 hours a
day. 7 dai=s a week. 36.5 days a year. I warxt to thank the officers and dispatchers ta~ho produce the information tracking

Memorandum
To: Rick Koch, City Manager
From: Chuck k.opp, Chief of Police
Date: Febmary 6, 2007
Re: 2006 Annual Report
The Polace Department is responsible for the operational and supervisory oversight of the
Communications and Animal ContraI Departments, and the Code Enforcement Officer.
The Annual Report is a composite susnrnary of department activities across a broad spectrum of
police, emergency communications, animal control, and code enforcement functions. Highlights
include departmerrt summary reports, table of service requests by call type, table of ail reported
offenses and arrests, civil calls for service, motor vehicle crash data, community programs,
emergency response partnerships, and department employee biographical information.
The year 2006 brought a record 7,789 calls for service, averaging 649 per month, with a peak of
822 calls in July. Tourism, itinerant workers aad the Kenai River Dipnet Fishery produce a spike
of police activity during the summer months. To camponsate for this increased activity, the
department hires two seasonal enforcement officers each summer.
The following is a smmmary of significam department events and activity for 2006:
PERSONNEL
New Hire
Patricia Stringer, Chief Animal Control Officer - Juty 2, 2006.
Kristine Peterson; PT Assistam Animal Control Officer -August 6, 2006.
Kelly Hok, Administrative Assistam -October 1, 2006.
Retirements/Separation
William "Bill" Godelc. Chief Animal Control Officer -retired April 3; 2006.
Danette Howland, Administrative Assistant- separated August 3 2, 2006.
PATROL
In 2006, patrol. officers spent S l % of their total work time conducting investigations, and 28% of
their time on patrol. Patrol activities accourrted for 44% of total time logged by offcers in 1991.
This diminished patrol presence is a trend that reflects the increase in demands on police service
• Page 1
82
and resources due to the growth and activity within the community. An active patrol presence
increases compliance with traffic laws, reduces injury vehicle crashes, identifies drivers with
revokedlsnspended licenses or criminal wartarrts, and drivers under the influence of alcohol
andlor drugs. It further serves as a deterrent to persons who desire to commit criminal acts, but
choose to refrain from doing so because of the perceived strength of police presence in the
community. Officers recorded 2,994 trafic contacts, resaithxg in 1,115 citations, 96 of which
were related to motor vehicle crash investigations.
idIOTOR VEHICLE CRASHES
in 2006, police investigated 183 vehicle crashes out of a total of 404 reported, a 12% hncrease
over 2005. The locations with the highest number and severity of crashes continue to be the rural
sections of the Kenai Spur Highway where the State has net installed street fighting: MP 12 - 14,
19 crashes; and MP 6 - 8, 18 crashes. Anima/ AoXXOn {manse} and driver inardention were the two
highest causal factors of these crashes.
The department actively participates in dedicated. traffic safety programs designed to reduce
crashes, injuries, DUI occurrences, and increase seatbelt use. The Alaska Highway Safety Office
sponsored grant programs allow far an increased patrol presence, paying for an additional 247
dedicated traffic hours for seatbelt enforcement and DTJI prevention, Patrol resources are
directed at high-risk times, intersections and stretches of road, as weA as school zones and the
business district. The department completes an ealraustive Motor Vehicle Crash Report each year
(see attached to Annual Report), which helps target resources where they aze most needed.
INVESTIGATIONS
It is a priority of the department to dedicate the personnel and rosources necessary to conduct
quality criminal investigations. A high solvability of major crimes is necessary for a perception
of safety in our communii}v.
Reported burglaries dropped from 48 in 2005, to 28 in 2006. The decrease in burglaries was the
most significant investigative success far 2006, due in large part to three significant burglary
investigations in 2005, which resulted in sewn (7) adult defendants charged with Felony theft and
burglary charges, and the recovery of most of the stolen property. Most other offense categories
saw increases in reported crimes, resulting in the highest ever percentage (S I%} of officer total
time spem on investigative functions.
lu 1991 the department had I6 offrcers who spent 23% of their wtal work time on investigations.
In 2406, fhe department's 17 officers spem S 1 % of their total work time on investigations. As
Kenai's population and business sector grows, we see a corresponding increase in civil and
criminal activity in the City requiring mare police investigative resources.
The increase in investigation time directl}+ affects the amount of patrol time. Crtrhen there is a Lack
of proactive police presence, criminal activit3~ tends to increase, necessitating a reactive police
response. Investigations of crimes requiring large amounts of time and resources are nearly
always those reported after the crime has been committed. Crimes discovered and interrupted by
proactive patrol are often potential "big cases" that never materialize because of early detection
and immediate police action.

C®M~IUliTITI' PR®GRAMS
D.A.RE.
The Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.}program continues to receive support from the
children, parents, teachers, and administxatars invoh~ed in the program. The Youth Services
Oi~icer and one other Kenai Police D.A.R.E. officer present the program to five Sn' grade classes
at .Mountain View Elementary School. The program teaches the children how to resist drugs,
interpersonal violence, and other illegal activity. In 2006, about 120 fifth graders participated in
the ] 0-week curriculum. Approximately 25 to 30 percent of the Youth Services Officer's time is
spent with the D.A.R.E. program.
In the fall of 1995, the department began instructing afollow-up D.A.R.E. program to the 7a'
graders at Kenai Middle School. This program reinforces lessons taught at the Sa` grade level.
About 110 7a' graders participated in the 2006 curriculum.
In early 2006, the Youth Services Officer served as a Mentor in the Alaska D.A.R.E, Officer
Training (D.O.T.} program, He helped train and certify 10 new D. A.R.E. officers. He is one of
three officers in Alaska to hold this D.A.R.E. Mentor -Instructor status.
POLICE EXPLORERS
In 1993, the Kenai Chapter of Alaska Peace Officers Association started a Police Explorers
program in cooperation. with the Boy Scouts. Local high school students interested in law
enforcement careers participate in the program. Officers from the Kenai and Soldotna Police
Departments provide training/instmction and coordinate the program. After the students
complete the basic training, they are able to assist Iocal police agencies with minor tasks. Several
local Kenai and Soldotna palace officers were introduced to law enforcement as a career through
our Explorer program.
S.A.RT.
In Ocfober 1998, the Sexual Assault Response Team {S.A.R.T.) became operational at the
Central Peninsula General Hospital (CP£rH}. Prior to that, sexual assault victims were
transported to South Peninsula Hospital in Homer for a S.A.R.T. exam. In 1997, a S.A.R.T.
steering committee was established to pursue instituting a 5.A.R.T. program at CPGH. The
steering committee consisted ofinembers from Ioca1 Iaw enforcement agencies, District
Attorney's Office, Leeshore Center, and CPGH. The committee obtained a state grant to
purchase some examination equipment, and CPGH provided additional equipment and
examination rooms.
In 2003, personnel and training issues caused the CPGH program to close, and S.A.R.T, exams
were again performed in Hamer. Ira ZOOS, the CPGH S.A.R.T exam office was reopened, and the
Kenai Public Health Center opened a new S.A.R.T, exam office. Today the S.A.R. T. program is
healthy and receiving strong support from CPGH and our public safety community.

•.• TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
183 investigated collisions involved 296 vehicles and 422 people, and seatbeits or approved
restraint devices were reported to be utilized by 91% of involved persons (361/394). This is a
decline of 5% of that reported in 2005.
The 25 injury collisions resulted in 62 persons reporting injuries. They ranged in definition
of possible, non-incapacitating, and incapacitating. The number of collisions reporting
injuries was similar to last year, but the number of people who reported injuries increased
more than 200%. This increased number is largely due to inconsistent reporting, which
included the category "Possible."
Alcohol was a factor in 4 collisions in which an arrest for Driving tinder the Influence was
made, which is twice as high. as 2005. Alcohol or dings were involved in a total of 13
incidents. The average breath alcohol concentration for an azrested driver in an MVC was
.125 BrAC, which is 1 '/~ times the legal presumptive limit of .08. Only 4 of the 9 cases had
reported. alcohol amounts.

The 404 reported collisions in 2006 are a one year increase of 21% and 11% over a two-year

declines, and are 12% more than 2005. Reported, but not investigated accidents include
vehicles in the ditch, those that incur less than reportable damage requirements, and those
occurring on private property. In the latter part of 2005, KPD implemented a procedure of
not initiating a criminal. investigation of minor Hit and Run incidents in parking lots that
resulted in minimal damages with na investigative leads. This will result in a decrease in the
namber of investigated incidents in relation to those reported.

The City's Cade Enforcement Officer (CEO), and the Kenai Police & Public Works Departments
worked cooperatively to handle City node violations/complaints and maintain safe and healthy
living conditions throughout the City. Code Enforcement is generally a reactive effort, with the
goal being comphance by property owners to make their property safe & clean, their vehicles
and buildings in good condition, and to bring about the absence of junlr, debris, and other sorts of
nuisances that may be detrimental to the health & well being of our City residents.
The CEd started CY06 with 26 carry-over cases {6 individuat offenders) from 2005. The nature
of violations included Junk vehicles, Debris, Cormnerciat building maimenance violations, No
business license, and general junk/trash.
There were 81 new cases reported, and 87 cases closed, during 2006. The CEQ issued 19
citations for various violations with some offenders receiving multiple citations; he also
impounded 5 vehicles. Gaining voluntary compliance from property owners is the goal of coda
enforcement, and most citizens did so.
Thirty-three people were repeat offenders during 2006, being contacted for similar violations
involving different vehicles, trashy areas, or property.
The 81 cases reported in 2006 were:
{49) lank vehicles & Debris
(17) Debris/Trash
{ 9} lV>iscellaneous -building maintenance violations,
panhandling, etc.
( 6) Operating a business w!o a license
