Kenai council adopts Resolution 2025-44 to bind city insurance with Alaska Public Risk Alliance

The Kenai City Council adopted Resolution 2025-44 by unanimous consent to bind the city's property, liability, workers' compensation, airport and other ancillary insurance policies with the Alaska Public Risk Alliance for the policy year July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026.

The move, presented during a special meeting called at 5:30 p.m., secures the city’s insurance coverage for municipal property, employee-related liabilities and airport operations for the 2025–26 policy term. Council action affects city operations, municipal assets and public employees who fall under the covered policies.

Vice Mayor Knackstedt moved approval of Resolution 2025-44. A second was recorded but the transcript does not identify who seconded the motion. The council asked for public comment on the resolution; no members of the public spoke. After a call for objections, counsel confirmed there were none, and the mayor declared the resolution adopted by unanimous consent. The meeting record shows a quorum was present at roll call with Mayor Gabriel and council members Daniel, Sonart, Askin, Douthit and Casena in attendance.

The resolution text on the meeting record authorizes binding insurance with the Alaska Public Risk Alliance for the period 07/01/2025 through 06/30/2026 and lists policy types as property liability, workers' compensation, airport and other ancillary policies. The transcript does not specify premium amounts, funding sources or departmental budget adjustments tied to the policy renewal.

No other deliberations or public testimony on the resolution were recorded. The council completed the item and proceeded to adjournment of the special meeting.
