Kenai’s City Council approved a slate of ordinances and resolutions on June 3 through a mix of vocal roll‑calls and unanimous‑consent actions. Key outcomes included:

- Ordinance 3522‑2026 enacted to accept an Alaska Division of Forestry Volunteer Fire Assistance Grant to purchase wildland firefighting equipment (five yeses).
- Ordinance 3524‑2026 enacted to update shift differential and qualification pay (effective July 1); council approved changes to police certification incentives and increased paramedic incentive pay.
- Ordinances 3526‑2026 and 3527‑2026 enacted to rezone a split‑zoned parcel at 6575 Kenai Spur Highway and to authorize sale/exchange of a small city‑owned parcel to RABUF LLC to permit utility connections and complete a cul‑de‑sac.
