Kenai council to consider stripping public-purpose status from six parcels

Six city-controlled parcels in Kenai are set to move toward potential sale after the Kenai City Council takes up an ordinance Wednesday, July 8, a consent-agenda item that would remove their public-purpose designations as a step toward disposal.

Removing a public-purpose designation is generally a prerequisite for disposing of or selling city-controlled land. The ordinance, sponsored by the administration, describes the action as carrying out disposal recommendations already contained in the City of Kenai Land Management Plan. It targets six Kenai Peninsula Borough parcels identified by parcel numbers 04711308, 04711309, 04711310, 04711311, 04711312, and 04108003.

The ordinance is listed on the consent agenda, meaning the council is expected to approve it by a single motion without separate discussion unless a member pulls it for individual consideration. It is not scheduled as a public hearing item.

The council meets at 6 p.m. in the Kenai City Council Chambers at 210 Fidalgo Avenue.
