He’s already served on the Kenai City Council for ten years and Bob Molloy is campaigning for another three-year-term.
While canvassing Kenai residents, he heard two top concerns, the first being the city’s comprehensive plan, particularly strip development along the Kenai Spur Highway…
Molloy: “That was really a big issue in why the plan that we did in 2013 failed, was overturned by the voters. They didn’t want to see strip development all throughout the highway but more commercial hubs like there are now. So people were afraid that that might change.”
Secondly, how the city implements marijuana regulations…
Molloy: “People seem to be pretty supportive of commercial business in Kenai.”
Molloy said he’s running again because he has unfinished business on council that he would like to see through.
Molloy: “We started a review of the purchasing code which hasn’t been reviewed in ten years, that’s a project that I initiated and am working on with Council Member [Henry] Knackstedt and I’m hoping to see that through. Again there’s unfinished business with the comprehensive plan and then there’s the new business of zoning and commercial marijuana business and where that should be safely located in town.”
Molloy will appear on today’s, September 16, Tall, Dark, and Handsome show from 4-5 pm.
