Administration recommends ds that a project of this type be perpetually included in capital project requests to the State of Alaska A grant application for this project has been submitted under the State of Alaska, Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) Municipal Matching Grant Program (MMG). We have recxeived the scoring and this project and may havescored well enough to be included in the Governor's SFY 2013 capital budget. The City Council passed Resolution No. 2011 -65 identifying this project as the number one ADEC MMG priority. Shop facilities to support operations and maintenance activities are always difficult projects to move forward. 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. The Governor /Legislature has provided funding for the construction of one (1) synthetic turf football/soccer each year. The majority of the football /soccer fields in Anchorage and the mat -Su Valley have already been constructed. This project is supported by individuals that have been active in getting the Anchorage /Mat -Su fields improved. This project .would allow Kenai to host the small and medium High School Football Championships as well as Soccer Championships. !This fully develops the Kenai industrial Park. The ,legislature may be seeking economic development projects this year.

The cost of maintenance of gravel roadways is high, dust from gravel roadways is a health issue for the elderly & young. Construct approximately 6,000 lineal feet of 16" Water Transmission main along Beaver Loop from Togiak Street to Angler Drive. Private wells in the area to be served by the new water transmission main have been found to prioduce water with arsenic levels up to 200 ppb, or 20 times the EPA water quality limits. This project would construct a 20,000 sf maintenance shop to replace the existing shop. 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. • • Replace the existing nautral turf football/soccer field with a synthetic turf surface.

NOTES /COMMENTS In a recent candidates forum Governor Parnell stated that his administration is willing to invest State resources to mitigate the imact of the personal use fishery on the City of Kenai and the Kenai Peninsula. This is the first phase of a three phase project to construct improvements to the WWTP and identified in the WWTP Master Plan prepared by CH2MHill in 2003.

The three stations would be located at the North Beach, South Beach, and City Boat Launch. 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.

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. This project has been discussed by the parks & Recreation ;Commission and it is my understanding they wish to continue discussion on the subject. This project is certainly worthy of discussion but significant work needs to be accomplished to determine its feasibility. $ 360,000.00 o O o o o o 0 $ 500,000.00 0 0 o o 0 0 in M is This project would re- construct First Street from California Avenue to Florida Avenue. This roadway exhibits differential movement of the curb & gutter and asphalt. Further the asphalt has and is failing. 1. Replace the existing asphalt surfaced roadways and install ''..new base material as needed 2. Install curb & gutter and a ,piped storm water collection system 3. Construct sidewalks 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 it's useful life and should be replaced. This project would construct a 100'x200' indoor turf field, possibly as an addition to the existing Kenai Multi- Purpose Facility. The facility would be used by area schools, pre- schools, soccer and other organizations.

Its 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 State 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. 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 I project is through design, or possibly during construction. II am not aware of any sources of funding that are available for this project, and several regulatory agencies (EPA, USDF &W) have expressed significant opposition to the project.

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 seventy.__. '.. 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 Project would design and install irrigation system for four soccer fields This project would construct a pedestrian pathway from the Kenai Spur Highway to Kalifornsky Beach Road along Bridge Access Road. This area is heavily traveled by pedestrians, sight seer's, bicyclists, etc. This project is approximately 2 miles long and would complete the 24 mile Unity Trail that connects Kenai and Soldotna, along both the Spur Highway and Kalifornsky Beach Road. 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. w J F H I- U w 0 O K CI.
