Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly

The Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly recently approved a 25-year lease with Utopian Power, a renewable energy development company that approached the borough with the idea to convert a 40-acre decommissioned waste facility into a 2-megawatt solar farm.

The CES board has known that the current station needed to be replaced or renovated since 2004, according to a memo submitted to the assembly Tuesday.

No part of the resolution or memo mentioned the mayor’s former chief of staff, James Baisden. But current Chief of Staff Aaron Rhoades implied he’d like to hire Baisden for the position.

The amendment the assembly is considering plays on an existing tax exemption for businesses that contribute to the borough’s economic development.
