SUBJECT: City Manager's Report
•a•...d Kenai River „b ro.
The purpose of this correspondence is to request the Kenai City Council schedule a work session
to discuss hear presentations from affected /interested parties and City Administration, and to
discuss the proposed scope and location of the proposed project.
I suggest an evening during the week of January 21 -25 or January 28— February 1.
This will provide adequate time to request any materials to be included in an information
packet, and for distribution to Council.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.
View looking west toward Mt. Redoubt. Area proposed to rehabilitate
The Kenai Watershed Forum (KWF) respectfully request to the City of Kenai to support a
rehabilitation project at the recently completed wildlife viewing platform near the City of
Kenai's boat launch area. Funds for this project will be from grants from the Alaska
Department of Fish and Game (ADF &G), United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS),
and private donations.
Background
The viewing platform was located on disturbed soil to minimize impacts to wildlife habitat at
the Kenai Diver estuary. The area in front of the viewing platform had been a roadbed and
since been covered in river silt.
In 2010 with grants from the USFWS and approval of the City of Kenai restoration work on
this area was started by the KWF. The initial effort entailed spreading nutrients over the
disturbed area and roughing up the soil in the hope that native vegetation would take root.
The effort was repeated in 2011. Unfortunately, these efforts failed as the high tides of Upper
Cook Inlet periodically cover this area compacting the silt /soil into a hardened surface. In
addition, public use of this area to access the Personal Use dip net fishery further degraded the
restoration efforts, even with fencing and directional signage.
PROPOSED REHABILITATION AND POND CONSTRUCTION
This proposal seeks a successful rehabilitation of the disturbed area with the construction of a
In the figure above the yellow represents a proposed surface trail to allow river users to walk
along the pond (outlined in blue). This will not be an elevated boardwalk. Some of the
material removed from the pond will be used to create islands in the pond for nesting birds
and as refuge areas from predators.
Approximate specifications for the pond, islands, and pond depth are:
Trail -506 feet
Pond Length -331 feet
Pond at greatest width -129 feet
Pond at narrowest width -18 feet Average
Pond width - probably around 55 feet
Island I - starting on west side south and then moving to platform -85 x 18 feet
Island 2 -27 x10 feet— one island covered in gravel to promote Arctic tern nesting
Island 3 -55 x 10 feet Island 4 -45 x 18 feet.
Pond depth — slope from a few inches (shorebird feeding area) to 2 feet deep behind islands
(waterfowl area)
Phase i — Design and Survey
The project will require a design phase that incorporates habitat, hydrological, vegetation
restoration methods, detailed site plans and construction costs. Prior to design, we will have
informal consultation with the permitting agencies to understand any potential design
constraints. We will use the design to file permits, but do not expect to have secured permits
until spring of 2013. The initial phase, pending funding, will be completed by February 2013.
Phase 2 — Pond Construction
Pending permit approvals and funding, pond construction will start at the end of September
and be completed by the end of November 2013. Construction at this time will minimize
impacts on migrating waterfowl, shorebirds, terrestrial mammals, and the public use of the
area.
Seeding of spoil piles, islands, and surrounding areas will be completed during the
spring/summer following pond construction.
PARTNERSHIPS
Partners in the project include the City of Kenai, the KWF, Keen Eye Bird Club, the ADF &G,
the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, and the USF WS.
Have you heard of the A CA ["s Project'
What is ASAP? ASAP is the Alaska Stand Alone Pipeline
project; it is the in -state gas pipeline project designed to deliver
North Slope gas to Fairbanks and Southcentral customers.
The ASAP project is designed to provide Alaskans long -term,
affordable, and reliable clean energy.
Why is this project important? Energy to heat homes
and businesses is the number one issue facing Alaskans right
now. Energy costs are high and there Is a very real possibility
that as early as 2015 the Cook Inlet supply of natural gas,
which delivers gas to most consumers now, may not meet
the consumer demand. ASAP is the only project positioned to
address this issue as early as 2019.
How can citizens get involved? Alaskans need to
stay Informed about this issue. The public is encouraged to
communicate with legislators that an energy solution must be
determined without further delay.
For more information, visit www.agdc.us.
How does this affect me if t live in Southcentral
Alaska (Anchorage, Mat-Sur, Kenai Peninsula)?
The current gas supply In Cook Inlet is in decline. If new gas
sources in the Inlet are not in production soon, utility companies
may have to import natural gas to meet the needs of the
existing customer base. Importing natural gas as a short -term
solution means energy costs will escalate. If the energy supply
for Southcentral is dependent on imported gas and /or stored
gas as the only solution, consumers can expect increased rates
and /or fluctuation in rates; another possible outcome Is that
consumers may experience forced energy reductions or fees
assessed for energy use during peak use times in the very
near future. Neither solution is optimal or satisfactory for the
long -term economic growth and stability of Alaska communities.
How does this affect me if I live in Fairbanks
or Esther locations in the State? Energy costs are
already high in the interior. Consumers currently receiving gas
from Cook Inlet by truck could see costs increase for trucked
natural gas from Cook Inlet. Statewide, costs of goods and
services are expected to rise as a result of the impact of higher
energy prices related to powering and heating residential,
commercial, and industrial facilities. Trucking natural gas to the
Interior or storing natural gas for consumer use in the Interior
is a temporary solution proposed until a pipeline system
delivering long -term, affordable natural gas is completed. The
Interior must have a long -term, reliable, affordable energy
solution defined without further delay.

The ASAP project portfolio contains valuable state
assets worth MILLIONS of dollars. The State of Alaska
has been performing studies on gas projects for decades. Under the
direction of the Alaska Legislature, the ASAP project now holds critical
regulatory documents and pipeline planning documents worth millions
of dollars. The ASAP project is the ONLY project on record in Alaska
with a Final Environmental Impact Statement expected late 2012. The
Environmental Impact Statement represents years of work and millions of
dollars in data collection, analysis, field work, permitting, and stakeholder
engagement. The ASAP project also holds a 604 -mile State of Alaska
lease Right of Way (ROW). This is the only unconditional State ROW
granted for a pipeline project. Other assets include ROW mapping and
route verification developed in a robust geographic information system,
and a financial feasibility analysis on gas products and tariff models to
move a pipeline project to the next phase. Prior to the work that AG DC has
completed on the ASAP project, the state has never owned work compiling
such a comprehensive portfolio. A sampling of the ASAP project asset
portfolio includes:
What is the cost Alaskans will pay to bulid the
ASAP pipe9ine? The estimated amount the State of
Alaska will have to pay to fund the ASAP project is $400
million. The State appropriated $43.84 million dollars in
2010 and 2011 for work on the ASAP project. In May
of 2012, AGDC was granted $21 million to continue
the project work. AGDC will continue to seek funding
from the Legislature to keep the ASAP project moving
forward. The ASAP project office is prepared to present
a budget request to the Legislature in the 2013 session
that could fund the project for multiple -year work. If
the people of Alaska continue to move this project
forward, Alaskans will be building the largest project in
North America
What is the cost of Alaska doing nothing?
There are some very dramatic results of not moving
forward with solving the energy issues facing Alaska's
residents, businesses, and industrial users. Alaskans can
expect to pay more for energy if our only solution to high
prices and a dwindling supply is to import natural gas or
truck natural gas to consumers. At best, trucking natural
gas to the interior from the North Slope and importing
liquified natural gas to Southcentral from a foreign
'~
s
A,
There are two projects facing Alaskans. Each of these projects has a different focus. ASAP's priority is to
deliver natural gas from the North Slope to as many Alaskans as possible, with a secondary priority of commercializing
any additional natural gas. The large LNG export project priority proposed by BP Alaska, ConocoPhilips, ExxonMobil,
and TransCanada is to commercialize natural gas from the North Slope to global customers with a secondary priority
of providing natural gas to Alaskans. The ASAP project is critical to ensuring that Alaska has a long -term, affordable
energy solution.

Re: 2009 International Fuel Gas Code Adoption
The City has a deferral agreement with the State of Alaska which requires the City of
Kenai to adopt and enforce code standards no less stringent than those enforced by the
State. The State of Alaska adopted standards of the 2009 International Fuel Gas Code in
November of this ,year.
I therefore recommend the adoption of the 2009 International Fuel Gas Code as amended

Re: 2009 International Building Code Adoption
The City of Kenai has historically adopted the latest edition of the International Building
Code as the standard for construction in the City. The City has a deferral agreement with
the State of Alaska which requires the City of Kenai to adopt and enforce code standards
no less stringent than those enforced by the State. The State of Alaska adopted the 2009
International Building Code in November of this year,
I therefore recommend the adoption of the 2009 international Building Code as amended
by the State of Alaska in order to comply with our deferral agreement and to consistently
enforce the code standards in effect throughout the State.

Re: 2009 International faire Code Adoption
0
The City of Kenai has historically adopted the latest edition of the International Fire Code
as the standard for fire resistive construction and fire prevention in the City. The City has
a deferral agreement with the State of Alaska which requires the City of Kenai to adopt
and enforce code standards no less stringent than those enforced by the State. The State of
Alaska adopted the 2009 International Fire Code in November of this year.
I therefore recommend the adoption of the 2009 International. Fire Code as amended by the
State of Alaska in order to comply with our deferral agreement and to consistently enforce
the code standards in effect throughout the State.

Re: 2009 International Mechanical Code Adoption
The City of Kenai has historically adopted the latest edition of the international
Mechanical Code as the standard for mechanical systems design, construction and
maintenance in the City, The City has a deferral agreement with the State of Alaska which
requires the City of Kenai to adopt and enforce code standards no less stringent than those
enforced by the State. The State of Alaska adopted the 2009 International Mechanical Code
in November of this year.
I therefore recommend the adoption of the 2009 International Mechanical Code as
amended by the State of Alaska in order to comply with our deferral agreement and to
consistently enforce the code standards in effect throughout the State.

The Airport is requesting the appropriation of $15,000 to enter into a professional services
contract with Liebowitz & Horton Airport Management Consultants, Inc. to assist the City
Administration in negotiating the renewal of the current airline operating agreement and terminal
building lease which expires on May 31, 2013.
Liebowitz & Horton is the firm that drafted the original agreement in 2007 which has proved
financially beneficial to the Airport allowing costs associated with operations to be recovered.
Federal regulations allow airports to charge airlines rates that reflect the full recovery of airport
costs.
I recommend appropriation of funds and City Administration entering into a professional
services contract with Liebowitz & Horton, hie., who is the most knowledgeable firm available
to the City and will ensure the Airport has an agreement that reflects the current industry
standard.
Please contact me with any questions.

Re: Ordinance 2670 -2013
The purpose of the memo is to provide additional information in support of Ordinance 2670-
2013. If adopted, Ordinance 2670 -2013 will accomplish two things. First, the City's investment
plan for its Land Sale Permanent Funds includes equities. Rather than picking individual stocks
to meet the equity component of the plan, mutual funds who invest in hundreds of different
stocks are being used. These mutual funds provide diversification within each asset class,
reducing the City's risk through diversification.
The City's Investment Manager, Alaska Permanent Capital Management, has selected Vanguard
mutual funds because of their low operating costs and proven record of mimicking the City's
stated benchmark indexes. Vanguard has changed the benchmark index it will manage its
mutual funds to requiring a change to KMC 7.30.020. Ordinance 2670-2013 will update KMC
7.30.020 to the new indexes being used by Vanguard and allow for future changes to be made by
Resolution when establishing the annual Land Sale Permanent Funds Investment Plan. KMC
7.30.020 (a) (2) already provided for this feature but the specific naming of each index in KMC
7.30 -020 (b) (3 -8) created a conflict which this Ordinance eliminates.
Alaska Permanent Capital's other recommendations regarding changes to hand Sale Permanent
Finds Investment Plan will be discussed at the January 16, 2013 Council work session.

Mr. Terry Eubank
Finance Director

Kenai, AK. 99611
Dear Terry,
sent via email
A couple of items have come up regarding the Permanent Fund that requires some attention.
First, the Vanguard Group recently announced that beginning in 2013 they will no longer be
using the Morgan Stanley indices and instead will convert to the USE indices. Second, we
believe that making some minor changes to the target weightings and ranges within the
allocation plan is worthy of consideration.
As you are aware, APCM purchases index funds to provide exposure to the various equity asset
classes. Recently, Vanguard announced that they would no longer be using the Morgan Stanley
Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE) Index or the Morgan Stanley Emerging Market Index
(MSCI). Instead, they are changing to the FTSE Developed ex North America Index and the USE
Emerging Index in order to "keep long -term expenses low ". This change will begin in January of
2013.
This index change does not materially alter exposure to the respective asset classes themselves.
The primary difference between the two is placement of Korea which Morgan Stanley has as
emerging and USE as developed. The change does create a problem with the Fund's
investment policy which explicitly enumerates the particular indices that Vanguard will no
longer be using (7.30.020 (b) 6 & 8).
As both Vanguard funds are low cost vehicles that provide exposure to the respective asset
classes and meet our investment criteria, we recommend you consider amending the code to
allow use of the FTSE Developed ex North America Index for the International Equities
allocation and the FTSE Emerging Index for the Emerging Market allocation. Conforming
changes would need to occur to Resolution N. 2008 -42 for performance measuring purposes.
Page 187 of 209
Since inception the Fund has been managed under the asset allocation plan set forth in
Resolution No. 2008 -42. This allocation has an overall 45% Fixed income and 55% equity
distribution. In our opinion the asset allocation plan is the most significant factor in risk
management and return and accordingly it may be appropriate to review the current
allocations. Specifically we would recommend a reduction in the target allocation for fixed
income from 45% to 40% and a new allocation created for Cash in the amount of 5 %.
Additionally the Range for fixed income would be changed from 40 -65 percent to 35 -65 percent
and a new Cash range created from 0 -10 percent. Our rational for these recommendations is
that the lower limit of the fixed - income range allows only a maximum of 5% underweight of
fixed - income and the new cash component would accommodate cash flows as well provide a
temporary holding bin when over and underweighting other asset classes.
If you would like us to pursue the above let me know. It would probably make good sense to
prepare an asset allocation presentation the looks at the current plan and alternatives
incorporating risk and return. I will be out of the office the week of the 15th, but back in the
office on the 26tH
Sorry about the index change being in code as opposed to resolution.
Sincerely,
Bert Wagnon

Budget appropriations
This memo is written in support of Ordinance 2672 -2013. The need for this appropriation to
overtime is to address the leave coverage, training coverage and the retails of employees on
emergency call outs for the remainder of the fiscal year at the Fire Department. Staffing at the
Fire Department deems it necessary to fill positions when leave is taken or when travel is
needed for training. Training covers the mandatory attendance of classes for employees to
maintain certifications. Emergency call outs or "recalls" are still utilized by the department to
recall minimum staffing for secondary calls or during large scale emergencies. The amount
appropriated within this ordinance is a reasonable estimate to cover the remaining fiscal year.

RE: Results, Findings, and Recommendations - review and estimate of overtime needs at
the Kenai Fire Department
The purpose of this memo is to summarze the results, findings, and recommendations reached
after reviewing the overtime usage and FY13 projected need for overtime at the Kenai Fire
Department (KFD).
i was tasked with assisting Fire Department personnel with analyzing past causes of overtime
and using those results to estimate the FY13 budgetary needs for overtime.
History
The adopted budget for KFD overtime was unchanged from FY08 through FYI l at $83,000, it
increased in FY12 to $99,000, and again increased in FY13 to $135,000. Actual expenditures
for overtime were in excess of budgeted amounts for each year. In FYI O Council authorized a
budget transfer increasing KFD overtime by $37,000. In FYI l and FY12 Council provided
supplemental funding of $80,000 and $106,000 respectively for KFD Overtime. Despite these
increases, the ending expenditures for FY10, FYII and FY12 exceeded even the amended .
overtime buduets.

Annual increases in overtime hours for FY09 and FYIO were 15.38% and 13.39% respectively
and are attributed to an increase in department call volume. The annual increase in FYI was
40,16% resulting from the addition of three new staff, changes in staffing procedures at Station.
2, and schedule changes for the Fire Marshall and Training Officer positions. The FYI annual
increase was 15.99% and is attributed to a full fiscal years impact of the FYI I changes.
Results
Ekes of Overtime
The following causes of overtime were identified:
1. Shift coverage — minimum department staffing to respond to a first alarm fire call .
requires four personnel on duty. Department staffing includes the Fire Chief, Fire
Marshall, Battalion/Training Chief and three shifts of five, line - personnel. The Fire
Chief, Fire Marshall, and Battalion Chief are each scheduled to work ten -hours per day
four days per week. Line - personnel work rotating 24 -hour shifts seven days per week.
FAA part 139 flight regulations require nearly 24 hours staffing of Station 2 by one fire
fighter leaving actual staffing at Station I equal to minimum staffing. The current
staffing level requires overtime be paid to cover the shift of any line - personnel who are
on leave except when either the Fire Marshall or Battalion /Training Chief are on duty and
available to provide coverage.
2. FLSA Overtime — Fair Labor Standards Act (FLEA) requires the payment of overtime to
line - personnel who work more than 212 hours in a 28 -day period. The current work
schedule of the department requires the payment of approximately 900 hours of overtime
annually to comply with the requirement of FLSA.
3. Training — training of department personnel creates situations where overtime must be
paid. Multi - company or all department drills require the payment of overtime to
personnel who attend training mid are not working their regularly scheduled shift.
Overtime is paid for shift coverage when those receiving training are unable to work their
normal shift.
4. Personnel Recall — department personnel are recalled to work to provide sufficient
staffing to meet the department's response matrix which stipulates the department shall
have the ability to respond to a first response fire or one ALS (advanced life support) and
one BLS (basic life support) EMS call simultaneously. Fire personnel voluntarily
respond to recall requests and are paid a minimum of two -hours of overtime when
responding.
5. Shift Overruns — department personnel who have responded to a call and whose shift has
ended are paid overtime to complete the call.
Analysis of the KFIYs FY12 overtime paid showed the following breakdown of overtime:

Projected FY13 Need
Based upon the FYI analysis and departmental staffing changes, the FYI' ) overtime budget for
KFD will require a supplemental appropriation of approximately $127,000 comprised of $99,000
in overtime and $28,000 in associated benefits. This estimate is predicated on four assumptions:
I . Leave by responding personnel will remain consistent at around 3,500 hours.
2. Training hours as projected by the Battalion /Training Chief will be 9444 hours, a 383.50
hour increase over FYI but anticipated to meeting ISO rating requirements.
3. The Fire Marshall and BattaIion/Training Chief providing approximately 1100 hours of
shift coverage for responding personnel on leave. These positions work four ten -hour
days either Monday through Thursday or Tuesday through Friday and provide shift
coverage for the hours of 8:00am to 6:00pm for responding personnel on leave.
4. The implementation of a new recall system that will limit personnel responding to recalls
to only the number needed will allow the approximately 1,900 hours paid in FY12 to be
sufficient to meet FYI needs including any increase caused by increases in department
run volumes.
Fjg nas
Department Records
In order to accumulate and analyze data related to KFD staffing multiple sources had to be
reviewed and reconciled. In order to determine department staffing on any single day, leave
slips, overtime slips and multiple Microsoft Outlook calendars must be consulted. No single
report can be produced or activity log consulted that documents daily staffing at KFD.
Employee Timesheets
Department employees are not responsible for completion of their individual timesheets.
Timesheets are prepared by the department's administrative staff, signed by the employee, and
approved by the Fire Chief.
Unreported Leave
On nine separate occasions during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 it was determined that fire
department employees failed to provide leave slips for leave taken and also failed to report the
leave on their monthly timesheet. The combination of these nine occurrences resulted in 200
hours of unreported leave.
Misreported Overtime
On three separate occasions, during a 15 -month period, overtime was incorrectly reported on
employee timesheets. Two times the error resulted in the employee being paid for time not
worked. The third instance resulted in the employee working but not being paid for hours
worked. A contributing factor to this finding is the timing of overtime being reported on
timesheets. The combination of multiple shifts and the City's due dates for timesheets creates
multiple cutoff dates for timesheet preparation. Some employees claim overtime scheduled
during the month but after the timesheet cutoff date while other only report overtime actually
worked. This creates one more reconciling step and opportunity for error in timesheet
preparation.
Training Hours
The Department's current policy compensates staff who attend out -of -town training on schedules
shift days as if they worked their regular 24 -hour shift. If the out -of -town training falls on one of
Page 197 of 209
the employee's days off they are not compensated for the Gene. FLSA requires the payment of
overtime to fire personnel who work more than 212 hours in a 28 -day period. Should the
combination of actual training hours and actual hours worked exceed 212 hours in a 28 -day
period, the employee should report and be paid overtime for hours in excess of 212.
Recommendations
FY13 .Supplemental Funding
1 recommend introduction of an ordinance to appropriate $127,300 for additional FY13
department overtime, The supplemental funding will provide $99,300 in increased overtime and
$28,000 for the associated benefits.
Department i'imek- eeping
Significant changes are needed in the Department's timekeeping procedures to address the
findings noted above. I recommend the following:
1. A shift summary, prepared and signed by the on -duty Captain, should be prepared
detailing all personnel working, on leave, or who reported for recall for each shift.
2. Preparation of employee timesheets should be done by the employee and not by the
Department's administrative assistant.
3. A monthly summary should be prepared using the shift summaries (from item 41) that
can be compared to the employee's timesheet when being approved for submission to
payroll.
4. Overtime reported on employee timesheets should only include overtime actually worked
as of the timesheet submission date. Overtime earned after the timesheet submission date
will be reported on the subsequent month's timesheet.
5. The Department's policy regarding eompensable hours for out -of -town training should be
changed to the following:
"An employee who attends Department sponsored training shall be paid the greater of the
hours that would have been worked if not attending training or the combination of actual
training hours and actual hours worked during the 28 -day pay cycle."

SUBJECT: Overtime Requirements at Kenal Fire Department, Re quest for
Schedule Modification & Personal Leave
The purpose of this correspondence is to discuss the findings of the review of Fire
Department overtime accomplished by the Finance Department dated December 13,
2012 (attached), and to respond to your request for a change in the work schedule for
the Fire Department (memo dated November 15, 2012).
Recommendations are identified on page 4 of the above referenced report. You are
directed to accomplish the following:
1. Draft policies and procedures to institute the recommendations,
2, Submit draft policies and procedures to the City Manager for approval.
3. Ensure policies and procedures are adopted and enacted prior to January 1,
2013,
Regarding your request to modify the work schedule for the Fire Department, i am
generally supportive of the concept. I will accomplish further research and request
review by the Finance and Legal Department.
In reviewing Fire Department overtime, the Finance Department found that
approximately 200 hours of personal leave was taken by Fire Department personnel
without a corresponding leave requestlapproval over a three -month period (July 1,
2012 - September 30, 2012). Further, the leave was not accounted for and the
employees were not charged with having taken annual leave.
I am directing you to accomplish an internal audit of your Department's leave for a two -
year period beginning, July 1, 2010 and ending June 30, 2012. Additionally, you will
Page 199 of 209
audit the period from October 1, 2012 to date. You are required to submit your findings
to the City Manager prior to January 1, 2013.
If the findings of the audit are representative, the result is unreported leave in the
amount of 800 hours per year, or costs to the City of over $16,000 per year.

Dear Mayor Porterand City Council Members'
The year 2012 will soon be over and as we look forward to 2013 on behalf of the
Kenaitze Indian Tribe, its membership; and Executive Council, I want to express
appreciation for your support of the new Dena'ina Wellness Center (DWC) and wish you

The Kenaitze Indian Tribe is often referred to as "community within a community" and
we acknowledge the importance and necessity of forging strong mutually beneficial
partnerships with the people and organizations we share this land with. The DWC has
long been atribal goal originating in the early 1970's when ourfirst clinic opened at
Wildwood' It I is heartening to all associates with the Kenatize Indian Tribe that our goal
is shared and validated by our neighbors. The Kenai City Council officially
demonstrated support of the DWC in January, 2011 passing Resolution 2011 -05, in
support of the Kenatize Indian Tribe Dena'ina Health and Wellness Clinic. This
resolution was instrumental in securing funding and support for the DWG..
As I write this letter the steel columns and flooring forthe DWC are being set in place
and a dream is becoming reality.
Chiqinik, thank you, your support and encouragement will have a long lasting positive
impact on the Tribe and our community,
Sincerely,
Jayl e erson Nyren
