ADL 231036 (KPB No. 041 - 030 -33)
The purpose of this correspondence is to provide additional information in support of
Resolution 2013 -26.
In 2010, the City of Kenai, as a preference right applicant, applied to the State of Alaska to
acquire the referenced property for a public and charitable use. The State issued a
preliminary decision approving the City's request to purchase the Property in 2012, and,
after a public notice process, on October 29, 2012, the State signed a Final Finding and
Decision to approve the sale of the Property to the City for a future municipal well site and
for protection of the Beaver Creek watershed. The Decision allows for a non - competitive
sale to the City for the appraised fair market value.
The approval of the Final Finding and Decision requires the City to conduct an Alaska
State Land Survey of the Property within two years of the issuances of the Survey
Instructions. The Survey Instructions were received by Whitford Surveying on April 5,
2013. Funds were not included in the FY13 Budget to cover the estimated cost of the
survey, which is estimated at $8,250.
If the Kenai City Council approves the transfer of funds to the Land Account, the survey
can be ordered.
