Assembly introduced revised emergency operations plan ordinance
Summary
An ordinance to adopt a revised Kenai Peninsula Borough emergency operations plan was introduced; staff said the plan was rewritten from a 400-page narrative to a checklist-style, task-oriented document and offered to brief assembly members before the public hearing.
Chair introduced Ordinance 2026-021 to amend borough code (KPB citation read aloud) and adopt a revised Kenai Peninsula Borough emergency operations plan. The presenter described broad participation from cities, emergency services, healthcare providers, utility and transportation partners, and volunteer organizations (VOADs) in rewriting the document.
The presenter said the plan was streamlined from "a 400 page narrative based document to a checklist based task oriented document" intended to aid decision-making across the range of incidents the peninsula typically experiences. She invited assembly members to request a deeper dive into the plan before its public hearing.
President Tunsett offered personal thanks to the presenter for her work and noted her planned departure from the borough on June 5. The item was introduced for public hearing; no committee vote on adoption was recorded in the transcript. The committee adjourned at 04:47.
