Re: Ordinance 2753 -2014
The purpose of this memo is to recommend passage of Ordinance 2753 -2014. Ordinance 2753-
2014 will appropriate a 2010 grant from the State of Alaska, Department of Commerce,
Community and Economic Development ( DCCED) in the amount of $250,000 and for the Kenai
Bluff Stabilization Capital Project. To date the City has received three grants totaling
$4,000,000 from DCCED for the Kenai Bluff Stabilization Capital Project. The other two grants
have been appropriated but because of project delays this grant has yet to be appropriated.
Proceeds from this grant will be used to pay the City's 50% cost share in the projects final
feasibility study to be performed by the United States Army Corp of Engineers. This grant is
scheduled to lapse at June 30, 2015 and would require an extension or re- appropriation by the
Alaska Legislature to avoid lapsing. Total cost share for the feasibility study is $327,000 and
will fully expend this grant and eliminate any lapse issues.
