ADEC Grant, Resolution No. 2005-41
Resolution No. 2005-41 states that the Arsenic Water Treatment Upgrades is the
City of Kenai's number one priority project for overall capital budget requests to
the State of Alaska FY 07. This resolution will give the City additional points in
the DEC system for. prioritizing ADEC Grant requests.
The City has already passed Resolution 2004-60 that has "Water Treatment
System, Well Houses 1, 2, 3, and 4" as our No. 1 priority for 2005-2006 Capital
Improvement Projects. After submitting this, DEC said this resolution was not
clear enough to give us the additional points. DEC sent me the verbiage from an
approved resolution that would get us the additional points.
