MEMORANDUM

TO:                 Ron Long, Assembly President

Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly Members

THRU:            John J. Williams, Borough Mayor

FROM:           Craig Chapman, Finance Director

DATE:            July 20, 2006

SUBJECT:      Ordinance 2006-19-08, appropriating $150,000 for capital improvements at borough facilities

The Borough administration is in the process of identifying a number of minor capital improvements that need to be undertaken at Borough facilities and is requesting that $150,000 be appropriated for this purpose.

Usually when capital projects are submitted to the assembly, they are appropriated on a project-by-project basis. The administration requests that $150,000 be made available for Borough-wide general government capital projects through this ordinance. The assembly will be asked to authorize projects when they are identified and costs estimated, avoiding multiple appropriations that would normally be less than $50,000.
