My office has been contacted by several veterans and concerned citizens regarding an effort
by some members of the Kenai City Council to remove the Veterans Memorial. This effort is
apparently due to a cross on one side which depicts a fallen soldier's final resting place.
I request that you present this letter to the Mayor and the City Council to express my hope
that the Council postpones making a decision on this issue at this time.
My office is in the process of contacting the Department of Law and Department of Military
and Veterans Affairs to determine whether the State may have an issue with this.
Copies of this letter will be forwarded to local veteran organizations so that the individuals
and families potentially impacted will have a chance to weigh in as well before a decision is
made by the Council.
As a veteran, you can probably guess how I feel about this issue. I would be most interested
in how this came to the attention of the Council - I had not even noticed the cross until it was
mentioned to me last week. Was it from a resident or residents of Kenai, or some outside
organization looking for an issue?
Thank you for passing this on to the Council. I try not to get involved in issues before other
political subdivisions but in this case it may involve State issues.
Email: rep.kurt.olson@akleg.gov
I believe that this is the first time, in the ten years I have represented Kenai, that I have made
a request such as this.
Sincerely,
Kurt Olson

MEMORANDUM
TO: Rick Koch, City Manager
FROM: Sean Wedemeyer, Public Works Director 5, ?(
DATE: May 29, 2014
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 2766 -2014 —Authorizing a Budget Transfer within
the General Fund and Appropriating Funds in the New City Shop
Capital Project Fund
Rick,
This memo is in support of the ordinance appropriating excess funds in the shop
operating account to the shop construction account.
The City has been fortunate this fiscal year in that we have had less than average
quantity and severity of repairs to City equipment. Subsequently, I project we will under
spend the budget by approximately 12 %. Leaving the programmed 6% lapse in the
operating budget, there is an approximate additional $38,000 available. I propose to
transfer these funds to the capital project fund to allow for additional improvements.
I anticipate spending the remaining construction contingency money and approximately
$10,000 from this transfer to purchase a mobile heavy equipment lift. I expect to spend
the remaining amount on fence and earthwork to connect the parks and recreation tent
gravel pad to the new shop pad. If there are any additional funds remaining I would
suggest extending the gravel pad to the east to allow for safe and efficient movement of
heavy equipment around the building.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

VTO: Rick Koch, City Manager
FROM: Sean Wedemeyer, Public Works Director
DATE: June 10, 2014
SUBJECT: Water & Sewer Department Budget Revision
Rick,
This memo is in support of a Resolution 2014 -43 transferring funds within the Water &
Sewer operating budget to cover projected shortfalls. The following events resulted in
expenditures above the budgeted amounts.
We experienced a large number of emergency call outs during this fiscal year due to
failures and alarms at the water treatment facility, utility power outages that require us to
power lift stations with the portable generator, and failures and plugged pumps at lift
stations after normal working hours.
An employee retired from the Water and Sewer Department and cashed out leave.
The budgetary number that was provided to me for communications was insufficient.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Re: Resolution 2014 -44
The purpose of this memo is to support adoption of Resolution 2014 -44. Resolution 2014 -44
will authorize a budget transfer within the Water & Sewer Fund to correct a mistake made in the
compilation of the FY2014 Budget. The error was not detected until now because expenditures
for wages have been less due to vacancies during recruitment for open positions and the
retirement of one employee this fiscal year. As a result there are sufficient funds within the
Sewer Departments wage accounts to transfer and no supplemental funding is need. Your
support is appreciated.

2011
The purpose of this memo is to provide additional information in support of the
referenced ordinance. Firefighter Peter Coots completed a paramedic internship at the
Mesa, Arizona Fire and Medical Department from September 11, 2013 to November 6,
2013 at his own expense. The training and experience will benefit the City of Kenai
through improved emergency medical response.
Kenai Fire Department firefighters are not required to become paramedics and are not
eligible for a leave of absence with pay under KMC 23.40.060 to attend paramedic
school since it is not a requirement of their position. However, in recognition of
professional development, personal time, and effort of the individual to achieve the
same, a recognition entitlement is paid to Fire Department employees who obtain a
paramedic certification at the rate of $1,500 per year, which is only $500 more per year
than the employee would receive as qualification pay as an EMT III.
In order to obtain the training while employed with the City, an employee must use all of
his or her annual leave, taking between 300 to 450 hours of leave. The cost of the
training is an estimated $15,000. Reimbursing leave taken to attend paramedic is typical
of what other similarly- situated departments are doing nation -wide. Based upon the
recommendation of Fire Chief Jeff Tucker, the attached Ordinance provides for the City
Manager to enter into an agreement with Peter Coots to be reimbursed for the leave he
utilized to attend paramedic training in equal reimbursements over a period of three
years. Should Mr. Coot's employment with the City end prior to the reimbursement
being complete, the reimbursement would not continue.

WHEREAS, Kenai Municipal Code 17.10.020(c) requires in relevant part that water

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Francis Krizmanich, City Planner
THROUGH: Rick Koch
DATE: June 18, 2014
SUBJECT: Kenai Business Improvement Program
In 2013, the City Council became interested in the Storefront Improvement
Program (SIP) that was created by the City of Soldotna. The program was created
to help revitalize businesses along their highway corridors by providing matching
grant funding for storefront improvements to commercial properties with street
frontage. The Kenai City Council requested that the Planning Commission review
the Soldotna program to possibly create a similar program for the City of Kenai.
The Planning Commission held work sessions in 2013, and also in February,
March and April this year. At their meeting on May 14, the Planning Commission
approved the Kenai Business Improvement Program (KBIP) by their Resolution
PZ14 -09, which is now being presented to City Council.
For this meeting I would like to present the new Kenai Business Improvement
Program (KBIP) Guidelines and Application as recommended by the Planning and
Zoning Commission.
• The program should be named the Kenai Business Improvement Program
(KBIP).
• The Program should be limited to properties located in the commercial zone
districts. These districts include the Townsite Historic, Central Commercial,
Limited Commercial, General Commercial and Central Mixed zones.
• Projects must front on an identified public street.
• The Planning Commission recommended that City Council appoint a
selection committee to decide which projects are eligible. The staff
recommends that Council appoint the Mini Grants Committee.

KBIP PROGRAM GUIDELINES- 2014
PURPOSE
The purpose of the Kenai Business Improvement Program (KBIP) is to revitalize Kenai's
commercial corridors by stimulating additional private investment in our local economy. By
partnering with local business owners and lessees to share the cost of beautifying the exterior
of a business, the program aims to boost traffic, increase property values, and improve the
overall look and vitality of our city's commercial core.
The program is being established to meet several goals:
- Promoting development of our "downtown area" to attract both visitors and residents;
- Encouraging redevelopment of key commercial areas, particularly businesses with street
fronts in the commercial zone districts. The commercial zone districts include Townsite Historic,
Central Commercial, Limited Commercial, General Commercial and the Central Mixed Use.
- Ensuring a healthy economy by supporting a diversity of local businesses; and
- Improving the streetscape along the Kenai Spur Highway.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The KBIP is a reimbursement grant, which can be used for exterior improvements to businesses
in the City of Kenai. The amount available for each property is 50% of the cost of eligible
improvements, up to a maximum of $5,000. Matching grants are paid upon completion of pre -
approved, applicant -paid work. Under no circumstance will grant funds be disbursed for work
completed before a Commitment Letter is provided. The amount of funding available for the
2014 program is $15,000; therefore, the City anticipates funding anywhere from three to five
projects. Funds are limited, and grants are reviewed on a rolling basis. Applicants interested in
participating in this year's program are encouraged to contact the City Planner, the program
administrator, as soon as possible to begin the process.
ELIGIBILITY
Eligible work: Rehabilitation of building facades visible to the street, including: storefronts; signs
and graphics; windows; exterior lighting; canopies and awnings; painting and masonry work;
landscaping; and accessibility improvements.
Ineligible work: Funds may not be used for improvements that are not permanent, mounted to
the building, sidewalk, or parking lot. In addition, the following items are ineligible for funding:
roofs; structural foundations; security systems; interior window coverings; vinyl awnings;
personal property and equipment; sidewalks and paving (unless removing paving to install
permanent landscaping). In addition, funds may not be used for structures which are
non - conforming to current ordinances (for example a sign which exceeds the allowable height
or area), unless the funds are used to bring the structure into conformance.
Eligible participants include property owners and business lessees (with written authorization
of the property owner), located in the following zone districts: Townsite Historic, Central
Commercial, General Commercial, Limited Commercial and Central Mixed Use.
Please contact the Planning Department to determine if your property is eligible.
2014 f [ i ' �_ �i� _ _� '7o,.i r,n- April 10, 2014
Page 115 of 125
Page 12
Ineligible participants:
- Properties primarily in residential use (ex. apartments or condominiums);
- Structures not facing or visible from the right -of -way;
Government offices and agencies (non - governmental tenants are eligible);
- New construction, less than 5 years old.
APPLICATION AND SELECTION
The first step is to submit an application form to the Planning Department. The form requires a
short project description and rough cost estimate of the work you plan to do. The City will
select projects that will provide the greatest public benefit to the community, as determined by
a selection committee. The City of Kenai reserves the right to prioritize projects and reject
applications.
To select and prioritize projects, the selection committee may consider any of the following
factors:
- Creative value of the project;
- Current condition of the building/fagade;
- Code compliance issues;
- Feasibility of implementing applicant's goals within the specified budget and timeframe;
Visibility of the proposed improvements.
The program administrator will notify you whether your project was selected for funding. If
selected, you will solicit contractor bids, and sign a 'Letter of Commitment,' as noted below.
BIDDING
The City of Kenai requires that you get one bid for each type of work you are doing. All
contractors must be licensed by the State of Alaska, and all construction contracts will be
between the applicant and contractor. Owner labor will not be reimbursed under the
program.
LETTER OF COMMITMENT
The next step is to submit all contractor bids to the City for final review. The contractor bids
will be considered by the City in determining the final funding amount for the project. The City
will then draft up a 'Commitment Letter,' which will outline additional terms and conditions of
the matching grant, and will serve as the legal commitment of both parties as to the scope and
quality of work, and the amount of funds committed. The Commitment letter will also set a
deadline for the project to be completed by, as agreed to by the applicant and City.
BUILD IT
After the Commitment Letter is signed by the City and applicant, proceed with construction of
your project. Please retain all invoices and material receipts during the project, as you will
need these later when you request reimbursement. Please also remember that only those
improvements outlined in the Commitment Letter are eligible for reimbursement, so it will be
f l cna 201 e ai 11 e. -; 1, April 10, 2014
Page 116 of 125
Page )3
your responsibility to keep sufficient records, if needed, to separate out work which you may
have completed at the same time, but which was not connected to the grant.
REIMBURSEMENT OF FUNDS
Prior to reimbursement of funds, City staff will review all completed work for compliance with
the Commitment Letter. The City will verify receipts and invoices, and will issue a
reimbursement check to the owner for the amount indicated in the agreement, or 50% of the
actual project cost (if less than the amount indicated in the agreement).
The City of Kenai has the authority to determine eligibility of proposed work and confirmation
of completed work. Certain work may be required or precluded as a condition of funding.
Participants will be responsible for obtaining necessary regulatory approvals, including those
of the Planning and Zoning or Building Departments when applicable. All work must comply
with city, state, and federal regulations.
GENERAL CONDITIONS
The following general conditions apply to all projects:
Improvements funded by the grant shall be maintained in good order for a period of at
least five (5) years; graffiti and vandalism will be dutifully repaired by the applicant during
this time period.
Borough property and sales tax must be current, and participants shall have no debts in
arrears to the City when the Commitment Letter is issued.
Eligible properties qualify for a maximum of $5,000. You may apply more than once as long
as the building doesn't exceed the maximum grant amount in a 5 -year period. If a property
is sold and the new owner wishes to apply for the grant, the five -year time frame still
applies. The five -year time frame begins at the date the improvements are completed.
The applicant must complete, sign and submit a W -9 in order for disbursement of funds.
TAX INFORMATION
You are urged to consult your tax advisor concerning the taxability of grants. The City of
Ken a i is not responsible for any taxes that may be imposed as a result of your receipt of this
grant payment (directly or indirectly). Grants may be reported on IRS Form 1099. The City
requires that you complete and return a Form W -9 (Request for Taxpayer ID Number and
Certification) prior to being reimbursed.
For more information, please contact:
The City Planner at (907) 283 -8235

Abed tax would help The Kenai attract more tourism revenue to our area. More tourism
represents more money for borough businesses, more tourism - related jobs, and more
money in sales tax revenue which lowers the tax burden on residents.
Only the people who stay in a Kenai Peninsula accommodation would pay the tax.
Many of the people who will be impacted by collecting the tax - Kenai Peninsula
accommodation owners and managers, are it's most enthusiastic supporters.
f Kenai Peninsula tourism is very positive forjobs and the economic health of our community.
Y If approved, The Kenai's Bed Tax would still be among the lowest in Alaska, and far below
the national average.
Revenue from the bed tax would replace the borough's current Investment In marketing,
Immediately returning $300,000 to the general fund, and generating over $265 thousand on
top of that amount for schools, for a give back of over half a million dollars to the borough.

WHAT IS A DESTINATION MARKETING ORGANIZATION?
Destination marketing organizations (DMOs) are organizations
charged with representing a specific destination or region and
helping the long -term development of communities through a
travel and tourism strategy.
Every state and most counties and cities have a Desti-
nation Marketing Organization to promote their area to
attract new business. DMOs are funded through a com-
bination of occupancy taxes, membership dues, improve-
ment districts and government resources.
OMO'S GO TO WORK FOR YOUR BENEFIT
Revenues /Expenses: Destinations' investment in their
DMOs continues to grow at strong, sustainable levels.
2013 saw the average DMO budget breaking the US
$3.0 million mark, a 3% increase over 2012.
• Public Investment grew 4% to US $2.4 million. Private
funding remained flat at $356,000.
• More than three - fourths (79 %) receive public
Investment in the form of hotel taxes, averaging
