ORDINANCE N0.2017-2003
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, AMENDING KMC
1.90.050(b) TO CHANGE THE TIME PERIOD FOR ALLOWED ABSENCES FOR COMMISSIONS
AND COMMITTEES FROM THREE MONTHS TO SIX MONTHS.
WHEREAS, the City of Kenai has changed the meeting schedule of commissions and
committees (except Planning and Zoning) from every month to every other month because of
budget considerations; and,
WHEREAS, KMC 1.90.050(b) states that a member of a commission or committee who misses
more than one-half of the meetings in a three month period shall forfeit the seat; and,
WHEREAS, under that section a member who now misses one meeting could be close to
forfeiting the seat and a member who misses two meetings in a row would lose the seat; and,
WHEREAS, commission, committee and board members provide a valuable service to the
community by donating their time and effort; and,
WHEREAS, circumstances arise that require members to miss meetings and it would be unfair
for a member to forfeit their seat as a result; and,
WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of the City of Kenai to extend the period for determining
absences from three to six months for commission and committee meetings.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA
that KMC 1.90.050(b) is amended as follows:
(b) If the commission, committee or board member shall be absent from more
than one-half of all the meetings of his/her committee, commission or board,
regular and special, held within any period of [THREE (3)] six 6 consecutive
calendar months, he/she shall thereupon cease to hold the seat.
