NOTES /COMMENTS
The bluff erosion project has been the City of Kenai's
number one Federal and State funding priority for at least
the previous thrree years. Administration is requesting
funding from the Governor and area Legislators. To date,
funding of approximately 1.5 million has been
appropriated by Alaska's congressional delegation, but the
outlook for additional federal funding is not good. The
citizens of Kenai approved a G.O. bond proposition in the
amount of 2,000,000 in 2007. Given the State of Alaska's
present financial condition the opportunity to recieve
funding is as good as it has been in some years.
To date the project has received or has commitments for
funding in the amount of 4,170,000. This includes
,2,000,000 for G.O. Bonds, 1500,000 from the Rasmuson
I Foundation, 250,000 from the State of Alaska, 250,000
from the City of Kenai G.F.,& 170,000 from the Friends of
the Kenai Community Library. Additional fundraising efforts
are ongoing.
''..Administration recommends that a project of this type be
perpetually included in capital project requests to the State
of Alaska.

DESCRIPTION
Approximately one -mile of the bluff along the Kenai River is
exhibiting substantial erosion. Several hundred feet of the
original townsite have been lost over the last century. The
U.S. Corp of Engineers estimates the rate of erosion to be 3
',feet per year. Over the next 50 years, in excess of 50
million (in 2006 dollars) of property and improvements will be
lost, without the construction of stabilization improvements.
The total cost estimate for the project is 20 million.
Approximately 1.5 million has been spent to date on
preliminary engineering studies. Kenai voters approved a
'2 million bond sale at the October 2007 election. Recently the
Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly passed a resolution to
provide the quarry rock for the project at no cost. The value
of the rock is estimated at 4.8 million. Total funding in -hand
and in -kind is approximately 10.2 million.
rProject would expand the existing Kenai Community Library
by approximately 10,000 s.f., or roughly double the size of the
existing facility. Voters in Kenai approved a bond sale in the
amount of 2 million, for a project presently estimated at
5.3 million. The conceptual design is complete and the
.consultant is accomplishing the final design. Bid Opening is
''.scheduled for March 2010 and project completion in May
...2011.
The City of Kenai maintains approximately 20 miles of gravel
surfaced roadways within it's municipal boundaries. The cost
of maintenance of gravel roadways is high, dust from gravel
roadways is a health issue for the elderly young. The 1
million requested will be used as a 50% match to support
local improvement districts
This project would purchase two Low Ground Pressure (LPG)
vehicles to enhance access for both seasonal enforcement
officers parks recreation personnel, and construct three
Fish Cleaning /Waste Transfer Enforcement/Data
Collection Stations. The three stations would be located at
the North Beach, South Beach, and City Boat Launch.

NOTES /COMMENTS
This is the first phase opf a three phase project to construct
improvements to the WWTP ans identified in the WWTP
Master Plan prepared by CH2MHill in 2003.
The Department of Energy will be soliciting grant
''.....applications for energy conservation projects in the near
'..future. It is my understanding that uo to 9 million in ARRA
'..funding may be available through a competitive process.
This project could also be a candidate for the DOE
competitive grant program.

DESCRIPTION
'..This project would construct improvements to the City of
Kenai's WWTP which would increase volume, decrease
',operating expenses and increase the quality of the effluent.
This project would replace the major components of the
heating ventilation system, and lighting systems.
This new fire engine would replace an existing 26 year old fire
engine. Our 1982 fire engine is the oldest equipment
presently in use at the Fire Department, and was one of the
last years in which "open jump seat" fire engines were
allowed by code. The old engine has reached the end of its
l useful life and should be replaced.
The current system does not provide uniform heat in the
'winter and does not include air conditioning (cooling) in the
summer. The present system also does not provide an
''..adequate number of air changes to meet current code
requirements. The copy room which contains the computer
servers is consistently at a significantly elevated temperature.
'Project would design and install irrigation system for four
soccer fields
This project would construct a six -bay vehicle storage facility
at the Senior Center. At present the vehicles are stored
outside the center. During the winter this results in vehicles
running to maintain heat for trips for the senior clients, and
also results in increased mechanical difficulties.

This project has ranked high on the 2010-2013 STIP and
",funding isproposed in SFY 2011 for conceptual design, and
ROW acquisition.
This project has not ranked high on the 2010 -2013 STIP. A
predocessor project, the improvement of five intersections
of this roadway has ranked well on the STIP and funding
for conceptual study ROW acuisition is proposed to begin
in SFY 2011. The full five -lane project will not be
considered for funding until the intersection project is
through design, or possibly during construction.

DESCRIPTION
This project would construct an addition to the existing Kenai
Municipal Cemetery. The property has already been
'..designated for use as a cemetery, and while immediate
''..construction nis not necessary, it is anticipated construction
should begin on the initial phases of the expansion within the
next 5 -10 years.
This project is proposed to provide safety improvements to
Beaver Loop, Thompson Park, Strawberry Road, Silver
Salmon, and TBD to include turn lanes and lighting. Traffic
accidents at these intersections usually involve at least one
vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed, and are of significant
severity.
Conflicting traffic patterns (through traffic vs
business /residential traffic) and increased traffic counts have
increased the number and severity of accidents between
Kenai Soldotna. Planned commercial developments will
significantly increase traffic in the near future
