To date the COE has accomplished design to an 80% level, and over fifty percent of the required NEPA documentation has been accomplished. This important project can only be undertaken with the assistance of the State and Federal Governments. The congressional delegation has been able to appropriate approximately 1.5 million over the preceding four years to forward the project through project scoping, planning, preliminary design and NEPA documentation, and another $2 million is presently included in a Senate appropriations bill.. The latest project cost estimate accomplished by the U.S. Corp of Engineers for this project is approximately 29 million. A commitment to the project was made by the Kenai Peninsula Borough. The Borough Assembly adopted a resolution (attached) to provide Armor Rock, B -Rock, and Filter Rock for the project at no cost. The value of the Kenai Peninsula Borough commitment is approximately 4,800,000. The construction of this project will result in substantial investment and the creation of new and expanded businesses located on the bluffs above the mouth of the Kenai River.

Over 15 miles of these roadways are constructed only to improved gravel standards. Over the past three years the City has undertaken projects to improve approximately three miles of gravel roadways to a paved standard affecting over 300 properties. These projects include pavement, drainage, safety, and signage improvements. Paving Improvements to City Streets Funding for these projects have been accomplished through local improvement districts (LID's), where the City, using City /State funding has funded 100% of the up -front costs of the improvements with assessments being levied upon properties in the LID for 50% of the project costs, resulting in shared 50/50 projects. The city desires to continue this program of LID improvements, the benefits include but are not limited to: 1. Improving air quality 2. Improving the quality of storm water run -off 3. Decreasing maintenance costs 4. Improving safety 5. Increasing property values 6. Creation of local employment Based on historical data, and contingent upon the condition of specific existing gravel roadways, $1 million of funding will improve one mile to two miles of roadways to paved standards. the cz'yof KENA� SKA "Vi//zye with a Past, Ci y with a Ft/duve 210 Fidalgo Avenue, Kenai, Alaska 99611 -7794 a <I Telephone: 907 283 -7535 FAX: 907 283 -3014 tl Construct New City Light /Heavy Equipment Maintenance Shop The City of Kenai's Equipment Maintenance Shop provides services to the Public Works, Streets, Parks Recreation, Fire, Police, and Senior Center Departments. It maintains over 400 pieces of City equipment. The existing shop is over 30 years old, undersized, and not conducive to an efficient maintenance program. The size of the existing shop does not allow for the storage of equipment which is being worked and waiting for parts, resulting in the equipment being towed outside to make room for other maintenance work. Several pieces of equipment are too large for the existing shop, which is really only several connected large garages. When large equipment requires maintenance the work must be conducted outside. There is not a comprehensive ventilation system, nor is there separation between the welding area and the remainder of the shop. We use an adequate system of individual ventilators, but it is not an effective system. The parts room is a conex which has been connected to the shop. Bathroom /wash facilities are minimal, and the shop does not have a shower, other than in an emergency station.

It maintains over 400 pieces of City equipment. The existing shop is over 30 years old, undersized, and not conducive to an efficient maintenance program. The size of the existing shop does not allow for the storage of equipment which is being worked and waiting for parts, resulting in the equipment being towed outside to make room for other maintenance work. Several pieces of equipment are too large for the existing shop, which is really only several connected large garages. When large equipment requires maintenance the work must be conducted outside. There is not a comprehensive ventilation system, nor is there separation between the welding area and the remainder of the shop. We use an adequate system of individual ventilators, but it is not an effective system. The parts room is a conex which has been connected to the shop. Bathroom /wash facilities are minimal, and the shop does not have a shower, other than in an emergency station.

PASSED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, this sixth day of October, 2010. ATTEST: Carol L. Freas, City Clerk PAT PORTER, MAYOR NOTES /COMMENTS 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. has scored well enough to probably be included in the Governor's FY 2012 capital budget. The City Council passed Resolution No. 2012 -46 identifying this project as the number one ADEC MMG priority.

This will provide a cross connec Lion between an existing water transmission main and the new water transmission main being constructed on Lawton Drive. These improvements will increase system reliance, and increase both operating 'pressures and flow volumes. The City of Kenai maintains approximately 20 miles of gravel surfaced roadways within its municipal boundaries. The cost of maintenance of gravel roadways is high, dust from gravel roadways is a health issue for the elderly young.

The present facility was never designed to facilitate the support manitenance activities which are being accomplished. There may be an opportunity for Federal participation, specifically FAA funding in an amount comensurate with Airport use of the facility. This project could also be a candidate for the DOE competitive grant program.

The exsiting shop is a collection of buildings and conex's that lacks the room to perform maintenance on the City's equipment fleet, and also lacks engineered ventilation systems as well as other improvements found in designed facilities. This project would construct a six -bay vehicle storage facility at the City maintenance yard. 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. 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. Improvements would include the removal /replacement of the exterior building panels, replacement/addition of insulation in the walls and roof, removal and replacement of the roof mounted air handling system with a ground -level HVAC /air handling system, and replacement of the existing roof. This project would 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.

Lai cc Prepared by: R. Koch Demand for garages at Vintage Pointe is questionable. The Council on Aging discussed this issue at several meetings and the Administration met with them and presented the results of a resident poll. Following Administration's meeting with the Council on Aging the Administration met with the residents of Vintage Pointe and it appeared support for paying $200 a month for a garage was even less than the previous poll results. Administration believes thios project would best be funded from a State/Federal appropriation(s) such as priority #3, above. The cost estimate for specific components of this project is included ijn the attached information. The most practical project is probably to replace the lighting and asphalt (est. cost $332,000). A storm water system is challenging as the subdivision was not originally designed taking into account surface/piped drainage. Curb gutter is very expensive and it's installation would mandate the construction of a storm water drainange system. o O o o 360,000.00 O O 0 o o 0 69 500,000.00 This project would construct a building five garages for rent to residents of Vintage Pointe.

This project is certainly worthy of discussion but significant work needs to be accomplished to determine its feasibility. ADNR is accomplishing a "Needs Assessment Study" scheduled to be finished in 2011. It's doubtful any funding would be available for this project in advance of the completion of the study, and that State /federal funding would be appropriated to a Slate Agency that would be responsible for the construction and operation of the facility. 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.

To date the COE has accomplished design to an 80% level, and over fifty percent of the required NEPA documentation has been accomplished. This important project can only be undertaken with the assistance of the State and Federal Governments. The congressional delegation has been able to appropriate approximately 1.5 million over the preceding four years to forward the project through project scoping, planning, preliminary design and NEPA documentation, and another $2 million is presently included in a Senate appropriations bill.. The latest project cost estimate accomplished by the U.S. Corp of Engineers for this project is approximately 29 million. A commitment to the project was made by the Kenai Peninsula Borough. The Borough Assembly adopted a resolution (attached) to provide Armor Rock, B -Rock, and Filter Rock for the project at no cost. The value of the Kenai Peninsula Borough commitment is approximately 4,800,000.

We welcome our Alaskan neighbors to take part in this fishery, however the activity has grown to such a level that the existing resources which the City provides are not adequate to respond to the crowds. There are a number of issues which need to be addressed, these include enforcement, data collection, and State funding for capital projects to assist the City in providing a parking and camping area for the up to 15,000 individuals which participate in the fishery on a daily basis. Our residential subdivisions near the beach are being over -run with vehicles /campers as they simply do not have alternative places to park. On one day during the last year's season an estimated 15,000 people were participating in the fishery at the mouth of the Kenai River, and 10,000 participants is commonplace. One specific issue is the amount of fish waste that is deposited on tidelands owned by the City. When participants clean fish the fish waste is often thrown into the river /ocean where it ends up being washed up to the tideline. The City attempts to remove the decomposing fish wastes each evening by utilizing a tractor with a rake to transport fish wastes. The City recommends that fish cleaning stations be constructed in three locations, (North Beach, Boat Launch and South Beach) and that disposal of fish waste from the personal use fishery into the Kenai River be prohibited by regulation.

The installation of a second sludge belt press will provide system redundancy and allow for the existing sludge belt press to be taken out of service for an extended period (4 -6 months) while major maintenance upgrades can be accomplished. Activated Sludge System Improvements 880,000 1. Upgrade Fine Bubble Aeration 380,000 Upgrade Aerobic Digester Blower System 270,000 The blowers currently provide three to four times the necessary oxygen concentration to the aeration basins and there is no way to efficiently control this with the existing equipment. The installation of one small blower with a variable speed motor, the installation of variable speed motors on the existing blowers, the installation of a new control system, and replacing the coarse bubble diffusers with fine bubble diffusers will result in improved treatment and a significant drop in power consumption. 2. Upgrade Waste Activated Sludge (WAS) System 200,000 Upgrade Return Activated Sludge (RAS) System 30,000 The activated sludge treatment process works hest when a steady low flow of sludge is returned to the aeration basin (RAS). The pumps currently in use return too much sludge in too short a time to the aeration basin resulting in system failures, increased maintenance and increased energy consumption. The WAS pumps currently in service are a progressive cavity type that requires frequent service. Replacement with a simple centrifugal pump system would lower maintenance costs and improve treatment efficiency by allowing a steady flow of sludge to the aerobic digestion tank rather than large intermittent flows. The upgrades to the RAS WAS Systems, and the upgrades to the aeration system will significantly improve the performance of the WWTP in terms of decreasing the costs of aeration, improving the settleability of the sludge, and minimizing /eliminating permit non compliance incidents. WWTP Control Building Expansion 1,000 s.f.) 301,950 The addition of a second sludge belt press will require the re- location of the WWTP laboratory. There is not sufficient space anywhere within the existing building to accommodate laboratory operations. The construction of a 1,000 s.f. addition to the WWTP Control Building will provide the room necessary for a fully functioning laboratory sufficient to support the operations of the WWTP. FUTURE PHASES OF THE CITY OF KENAI WWTP UPGRADES NOT SUBMITTED UNDER THIS ADEC MUNICIPALMATCHING GRANT APPLICATION AT THIS TIME City of Kenai Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrades Phase II Filament Control System Improvements 2,100,000 The City of Kenai's WWTP periodically encounters problems with a floating sludge blanket. This is caused by the predominance of filamentous organisms in the activated sludge. The aeration basins will be modified to a plug flow regime and provide an anoxic zone in the first third of each aeration basin. This will improve activated sludge settling by minimizing filamentous organisms in the activated sludge. As a result the City will no longer need to operate both secondary clarifiers. This will reduce energy consumption and provide redundancy in the system. City of Kenai Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrades Phase III Pretreatment Process Improvements 1,455,000 1. New Pump House 435,000 The existing pump house is undersized and is nearing the end of its useful life. The addition of sophisticated control systems and other improvements requires additional space in order to maintain system integrity and reliability. 2. Influent Manhole Modifications 60,000 Grease accumulates in the existing influent manhole. At times this grease layer will be as much as five -feet thick. Presently the vactor truck is used to remove grease from the influent manhole and transport to the WWTP. This modification would provide a sytem to pump the grease from the influent manhole to the aerobic digester for treatment. 3. Grit Removal Cyclone 120,000 This would provide for grit removal in the pretreatment process. The system currently includes two rotary screens, a by -pass screen, and screenings conveyor. They are not used because they are quickly overloaded by the material entering the plan during peak flows. This improvement would allow provide for washing, and compacting the collected screenings as is required. 4. Bar Screens /Grinder Station 840,000 There are several areas in the wastewater collection system in which pretreatment of wastewater through screening and grinding would be beneficial. Wildwood Prison and future services comprised of fish processing plants. This will require further engineering review prior to a specific scope of work being identified. City of Kenai Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrades Phase IV Aerobic Digester Solids Handling 1,840,000 These improvements include, mechanical improvements for the aerobic digester, an upgraded solids handling system, and re- coating the aerobic digester. Obtaining a sufficiently high concentration of solids is difficult. A higher concentration of solids will mean lower influent flow and longer residence time within the digestion tank. Twelve to eighteen days residence is typically required for adequate digestion of sludge when there is no primary settling in the WWTP process. Presently there is only eight days digester residence time. To increase the solids concentration entering the sludge digestion tank, a gravity belt thickener will be installed. This will increase the capacity of the existing aerobic digestion tank to meet the projected waste loads for at least the next twenty years, and minimize /eliminate permit non- compliance incidents. Re- coating of the 423,000 gallon aerobic digestion tank may move up to a higher priority based on inspections that will be accomplished this year. The purpose of the tank is to hold waste sludge, and through aeration inactivate any harmful microorganisms. The City of Kenai's WWTP does not have a redundant component for this process. Since the tank's construction in 1982 it has not been re- coated. If this aerobic digester tank were out of service for any extended period, the WWTP process would be severely impacted. the cyof KENAI, ALASKA Village with a Past, et with a Future 210 Fidalgo Avenue, Kenai, Alaska 99611 -7794 Telephone: 907 283 -7535 FAX: 907 283 -3014 Bridge Access Road Pedestrian Pathway The Kenai Soldotna Unity Trail is designed to make an approximate 20 mile loop from Kenai to Soldotna on the Kenai Spur Highway.
