The Kenai City Council made an easy decision on Wednesday, February 21st to appropriate donated funds to the Kenai Animal Shelter.
The ordinance (3393-2024) is specifically designed to accept donations for the care of the animals residing at the shelter.
According to the ordinance, the Kenai Animal Shelter recently received monetary donations from over 20 donors totaling $2,643.86. All of those funds are intended to support the Kenai Animal Shelter.
Recently, the Animal Control Chief has identified equipment needs at the Animal Shelter, including safety equipment for staff and animal live traps.
Hence, it is for these reasons that the donated funds were needed for the shelter.
In a memo from Police Chief Dave Ross, the Kenai Animal shelter received a number of unsolicited private donations recently totaling $2,643.86 The individual donors include: James Carpenter, John Percy, Henry & Shannon Iris, Joe & Patti Holden, Karla & Paul Smith, Lorrene Forbes, Kathy Heus, Laurence & Tamera Stearns, Pamela Satathite, Benjamin Eveland, Richard Hallmark, Brittany Taylor, Patrick & Casady Herding, Peninsula Radiation Oncology Center, Michael Koob and Greg Fite.
According Kenai City Mayor Brian Gabriel, everyone in attendance was pleased with the work the community had done in order to make this donation possible.
“I think I can speak for council when I see a bunch of nods here that we can say thank you to that group of people and your generosity is certainly much appreciated,” said Gabriel.
The ordinance was whole-hearted accepted by all of the members of the council.
