KENAI PENIN BORO Mayor's Office KPB GRANT ACTI'1ITY REPORT January 2004 In October the Host Society Board ofDire(~tors began a hiring process to recruit a General Manager and I am please to announce the hiring ofMr. Loren Smith from North Pole, Alaska. They had a nine member hiring committee who review 54 applications and narrowed the list down to three individuals. They interviewed the three applicants and Mr. Smith was the recommendation from the hiring committee. On November 25,2006 the Host Society Board ofDirectors, approved the hiring committee's selection. A management contract was negotiated with Mr. Smith and approved at the th December 11 th Board ofDirector meeting. December 15 was Mr. Smith's first day ofwork. The Host Society is currently advertising for a Sport Director, and hopes to have him/her on board by February of2004. Some significant developments for the Arctic Winter Games 2006: • We now have a permanent headquarters for the 2006 AWG Host Society. The City of Kenai has contributed the upper office area at their PRISM facility for the Arctic "rinter Games Host Society to use as our headquarters. This is a $100,000 plus in-kind contribution and it is great to be in such a well laid out facility. Not only do we have lots of office space, we also have a large conference room and several smaller conference rooms. • We have received our 501(c) 3 tax-exempt status from the IRS. • Homer recently announced that they will break ground on their new hockey rink this spring and Kenai is ,evaluating what may need to be done to upgrade their hockey rink.

This software comes highly recommended by any number of large non-profit organizations and will help to reduce the number of staff members required to manage our fundraising campaign and in-house accounting. This comprehensive software package otters a vast range of tracking and contact management options, reports, mass mailing fonnats and complete fundraising campaign management features. It also offers higWy detailed accounting features and reports that will help the Host Society to maintain the highest standards of financial accountability. When the 2006 Games are completed, this software will be donated to an appropriate local area non-profit organization. Thursday, Dec 11, the 2006 host society had their first annual meeting and accomplished some major tasks. They passed a resolution supporting a memorandum of agreement with the Peninsula Winter Games, approved Committee and Sub-committee Chairperson appointments, began the process to put together a contract for a local Marketing/Media consultant, approved the General Manager's contract and approved the 2004-operating budget. Since this was the Host Societies Annual meeting they also had an election of officers. Dale Bagley was reelec~ted as President, David Carey was reelected as Vice President, Becky Foster was reelected as Treasurer, and Jack Brown was reelected as Secretary.

January 15,2004 Bonnie Golden, Grants Administrator Dale Bagley, Borough Mayor KfJVAl PENm BORD Assembly Members Mayor's Office Kenai Peninsula Borough 144 N. Binkley St. Soldotna, AK 99669 RE: Borough Grant to CARTS Dear Ms. Golden, Enclosed is the documentation and progress report for the above named grant. CARTS had another tremendous year! We delivered 35,446 rides in 2003, bringing our total rides delivered to 99,384! WOW! I have included some updated charts. Note on the line graph covering ridership for 2002-2003 how during the winter months in 2002, typically our busy time, the numbers steadily decreased. I attribute that to the mild winter weather we had last year. The same cannot be said for this year though, and we are often scheduling 200 or more rides a day during the week. In fact, one day we had over 250 rides scheduled! During the last quarter alone, we delivered 10,417 rides. Again, WOW! In September we upgraded our scheduling/dispatching software which has been a great help. It is now much easier to schedule/dispatch rides and to compile om data and statistics. CARTS recently signed a Memorandum of Agreement with the Independent Living Center to coordinate rides, and we are currently working on a contract with Central Peninsula Counseling Services. If you have any questions please give me a call. We appreciate the continued support from the Borough.

Since this project's inception, in 200 I, it has grown from the initial pilot project in central Cook Inlet to now include much of the northern Gulf of Alaska coast. After presentations by Cook Inlet RCAC and their contractors about the ShoreZone mapping project, the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council, the University of Alaska., and the National Park Service adopted the methods and have or are currently mapping the Kenai Fjords National Park, the Katmai National Park, Afognak and northern Kodiak Islands, and coastline just west of Prince William Sound. Also, at a recent meeting of over 30 local, state, and federal agency personnel, and interested parties from other not-for profit organizations, a unanimous agreement was reached that this program should be expanded to include the entire state of Alaska and be integrated with programs in B.C.
