Dear Mayor and Council,

CITY OF KENAI
ADMINISTRATIQN
Recently, the Kenai Chamber of Commerce presented a donation to the City of Kenai for
a memorial in memory of my late husband, John Watson.
His memorial has been foremost in my mind. I would like to encourage the city to use
the remaining funds toward completion of the proposed town clock project.
I have selected a plaque to be placed in the sidewalk section, but estimate there will be
slightly over $6,000 left to apply toward completion of the proposed town clock project.
It is my understanding that the wording, Officer John Watson Memorial Fund, will be
placed among the list of donors.
Thank you for this consideration and I look forward to seeing this project become reality
in Kenai.
Cordially,
Kathy atson

Per your request, I am sending you this letter which endorses utilization of the Officer
John Watson Memorial Fund toward the purchase of a city clock and memorial plaque.
Our Board, per unanimous vote of Directors present at our July 12, 2005 meeting agreed
that such. utilization is in concert with the expressed purpose of the fund: to provide
funds to create a memorial to Officer Watson as decided upon by his widow and the
Kenai Police Department.
. The clock and memorial plaque should ~ a fitting reminder of Officer Watson and his
contr' tion to the City of Kenai.
