Councilman Morgan stated Council passed a Resolution against this. Mr. Lynn stated when the amended budget is approved the Finance Department will be reduced by $3,756 and the Legis- lative increased by $30756. It was the consensus of Council to have a special meeting and hold the public hearing on the amended budget.

MEETING, JANUARY 1S, 1975 Page three F -'1 - Library - continued After further discussion, Thomas moved and Hudson seconded to respond to the Elks Club stating their building is not compatible for a library as the cost to renovate is greater than we are prepared to meet. There were no objections and was so ordered. Councilman Steiner asked about the architects fees. Mr. Lynn stated it would be in the neightborhood of $33,000 depending on how much work we can do to help them. The City Attorney is working on an agreement whereby the plans will belong to the City. After more discussion, Steiner moved and Hudson seconded Administration enter into an architect agreement with Lane, Knorr, and Plunkett of Anchorage for the new library.- The motion carried unanimously by roil call vote. F - 2: Resolution 75-1 - Amending Personnel Regulations Mr. Lynn stated that since the memo on the impact of changes in the personnel manual and its implementation, there has been a few changes, specifically paragraph 3. The overtime can be omitted. Mayor Elson stated the implementation of Resolution 75,1.hinges on the passage of Ordinance 254-75. Councilman Ambarian felt the personnel manual should be added to the work session next Thursday. After further discussion, Ambarian moved and Doyle seconded to have a work session on January 23rd on the Personnel Manual and action ! retro -active to January 1, 1975.

G - 2: Ordinance 255-7S , Council Chambers Mr. Lynn stated the Mayor asked Administration to prepare an ordinance changing the Council chambers.

Councilman Doyle felt it was no place to have a permanent meeting place. Morgan moved and Steiner seconded to introduce Ordinance 2SS-7S - Council Chembers. The motion carried by roll call vote with Ambarian and Doyle dissenting. MINUTES, KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING, JANUARY 150 1975 Page four G - 3: Disposal of F.A.A. Houses Mr. Lynn stated Planning $ Zoning recommend the F.A.A. houses be sold and moved from the.premises. Mr. Lynn recommends Council hold off make a decision at this time until the legal aspects are worked out with Mr. Daubenspeck. After some discussion, Steiner moved we advertise for sale in the spring the two houses not on Daubenspeck property and ask the City Attorney to reconsile the remainder. The motion died for lack of a second. Mr. Lynn stated he would write to B.L.M. telling them what is available on the airport, the cost, etc, and the possibility of the F.A.A. houses pending a decision. H: REPORTS H - 1: City Manager's Report (a) Doe Catcher Mr. Lynn reported the dog pound at the sanitary land fill is back in operation. One maintenance man is the dog catcher. He is doing , the best he can with the ordinance we now have. (b) Insurance Service Office Mr. Lynn stated he received a report from I.S.O. On the basis of their report we will be at a 7 rating. This would be a 30% increase in insurance. The Fire Chief has spent a great deal of his time to try and determine the basis of their decision and the grading of the deficiency points. Mr. Lynn wrote them a letter and • asked them to ex lain in detail each and every point and why it is different from the 1970 rating when we had less equipment and were in the old fire hall. Councilman Ambarian asked about the -proposed rating. Mr. Lynn stated they gave a tentative -recommendation of a 7 rating with a grace period to make up the deficiencies. Chief Shirnberg reported the main deficiencies were in the water supply, the reservoir water level, hydrant distribution and' manning. Chief Shirnberg dissagrees and feels many.of the deficiencies should be challenged. The whole report is inconsistant (c) Land Selection Mr. Lynn reported there are 137.2 selectable acres within the City of Kenai. The City can select 101 or 13.7 acres. A map in the Council packet shows the land available. Council should think about what acres to choose. Planning $ Zoning will discuss It next Wednesday. Councilman Hudson stated Planning $ Zoning had considr eyed it once before. This item will be put on the 1st item of the agenda for Thursday night. 0 0 MINUTES, KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING, JANUARY 15, 1975 Page five H - 2: H - 4: H - S: H - b: H - 7: City Attorney's Report Mr. Baldwin stated there is one zoning problem but will not bring it to Council at this time as Council may have to sit as a Board of Adjustments. Mayor's Report Mayor Elson reported on the meeting with Walt Parker, Jack Spake and representatives from Soldotna on the recommendations on the Spur Highway. The consensus of the group was that a 40' width would be closer to fitting the actual usage of the highway. Mayor Elson spent Monday noon with the Council of Aging at their annual meeting. They elected new officers; Jetret Petersen - President; Betty Warren - Vice President; Mae Knutson - Secretary/ Treasurer. The Board of Directors are relatively the same. Mayor Elson asked if there were any objections reconfirming the officers and Board of Directors for 197S. There were no objections. City Clerk's Report No report. Finance Director's Report No report. Planning S Zoning's Report Councilman Ambarian reported on the two items not covered earlier In the meeting.

PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD: James Doyle Councilman Doyle asked Council for a 7S day leave of absence. Because of the inlet being frozen he has been hauling oil to Anchorage around the clock. He would like to remain on the Council and would ask Council to give him a leave of absence. Councilman Steiner asked if there was anything in the Code of Ordinances to cover this. The City Attorney is to look into this.

Mr. Lynn stated Mr. Galliett phoned last week and stated he revised the system. The drawings will have to be amended based on the arsenic content, which is 25 parts per million. So parts per million is the highest acceptable. B.P.A. will not fund a new well if arsenic content is at the same level. Mayor Elson stated he discussed this with Sam Best and he said the arsenic level in this area fluctuates and no test has been taken over a period of time. Mr. Lynn stated we will cooperate with U.S.G.S. for a test well. I Councilman Steiner felt the bid pack should be readied soon. Oscar Thomas Councilman Thomas stated that now that the capitol relocation site is grinding its wheels, is there any possibility of Kenai making some sort of a bid. What do we have to do to qualify?, What real estate is available and are we interested or not? It was the general consensus there is not enough land available and do not have the transportation or easy access. MEETING ADJOURNED 10:30.P.M.

Elks Lodge No. 2425 would like to offer their building as a possible site for the new Kenai City Library. Out vaabership has increased to a point where we need larger quarters. Also the layout of our building does not fit our needs as far as SOouts events, ete. are concerned. Your call for 5000 sq. ft., our building is 6000 sq. ft. Our building is oento:ally located in town and is on City property. There could be a new Library far sooner using our building. The tas- payers would save considerable money by not having architect fees, etc. Also the price of our building excluding, furnishings and fixtures would be far less than a new structure. If the City would be interested in the Elks Iodge building the price would be approximately $350,000.00. There would have to be a vote of approval by the Kenai Elks menoership and approval by the Grand Dodge before a sale could be final. if the City is interested, we would re -- quire a film offer and earnest honey before presenting a sale to thes' membership for their approval: If you require any additional infor aticn please contact the Lodge Trustees or the Malted ftler. �r =tary Board of RYustees Kenai. Elks Lodge #2425 �•bl . Mwe January 6, 1975 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: ROLAND D. LYNN, CITY MANAGER ' SUBJECT: IMPACT OF CHANGES IN PERSONNEL MANUAL AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION f In general, the Personnel Manual as presented to you is not too different from the existing manual; most changes are simply to clarify and to bring into compliance with appropriate State or Federal regulations. The significant changes and impact are outlined below. 1. Section 6.02.0 - General Policy. The major change is that all employees, except police, will serve a six month probationary. period and be eligible to receive a probationary pay increase at the end of this period. No significant budgetary impact is expected. . 2. Section 7.08.5 - Longevity Steps. According to the re- commended revision the amount of longevity pay would be increased while the length of service required to receive the pay is . reduced. At present, six employees would be affected with an additional cost of approximately $2,416 per year with payments made in a lump sum in December or at the time of termination. 3. Section 7.17.2 - Special Pay for Policemen. Due to mandatory provisions of the Fair. -Labor Standards Act the police personnel ; will receive overtime for all work over 40 hours. Cost of this is; estimated at $13,284 per year unless offset by compensatory time t off. Unfortunately compensatory time off is not always possible within small departments but the option is recommended for -� inclusion in the manual. 4. Section 7.19.0 - Procedure for obtaining Tuition Aid. The addition of this section is to encourage employees to tak specialized courses which will help them better perform the r I jobs: Cost of adding of this provision will be minimal. S. Section 10.01.16 - Compensatory Time Off. Addition of this r section permits compensatory time off whereas the old section prohibited it. Inclusion of this new section will permit greater flexibility in pay administration. 6. Section 11.01.08 - Computation of Holiday Pay for Uniformed Police and Fire Employees. In the past the shift personnel did not receive holiday pay; when attempts were made to calculate holiday pay it often led to confusion and frustration. The method proposed in this section is acceptable to the majority of the public safety personnel and will assure them of holidav nay. It. fF a e F t Page -2- Memo to Council Personnel Manual t -d Each uniformed public safety employee will accrue annual leave at roughly twice the normal accrual ratefor the 10 holidays. This means that the average employee would be given an additional; seven (7) hours of annual leave over what he would normally accrue. The cost of this would be approximately $1,136 per year. 7. Section 12.01.6 - Special Sick Leave Accumulation. Section 12.01.8 - Annual Leave Conversion and Transfer Possibilities. These two sections reduce the number of leave accounts from three to two and remove some of the confusion and hard feelings + which can develop if an employee forgets to transfer excess annual leave. Under the new section an employee will be able toi transfer a maximum of 10 days of annual leave into special sick leave to provide an economic cushion in the event of lengthly !; illness. Additional cost is difficult to compute because of the uncertainty as to how long and who might become ill. 't 1.8 8. Section 12.01.09 - Maternity Leave. This section complies with Mandatory Federal Regulations. Cost of this change is difficult to calculate because of the uncertainty as to how many employees may become pregnant. 9. Section 12.01.12 - Injury Leave. This section will provide ;} monitary protection to the employee who is injured on the job • and supplements Workmen's Compensation. Based on past experience; the additional cost to the City should be minimal but in the event of a serious accident could be sizeable (an employee's salary less Workmen's Compensation payment for sixty days). 10. Section 16.01.4 - Moving Expenses for New Employees. This section authorized the payment of moving expenses for a new professional level employee up to the equivalent on one month's salary for the head of a household and .up to one half month's salary for a single employee. This is changed from the old rate of up to $1,300 payment. Adoption of this section provides_, an automatic adjustment caused ,by inflation. :I k`c = The above explanations cover the significant areas of proposed changes in the Personnel Manual. The estimated annual cost of these adjustments is $16,836 with most of the increase going ifor police overtime. It is recommended that these changes • be approved by adoption of the attached resolution. Roland D. Lynn „..

A check of our records shows that there aro only 137,20 acres of selectable lands within the corporate boundaries of the city. Since the law permits only 10% of this figure; your selection cannot exceed 13.7 acres. To avoid beim arbitrary in adjudicating your selection to an acreage consistent with the law, we wi 1 give you the opportunity to reduce your selection to those lands of your choosing, All of the lands included in your original solaction are also selected by a later Kenai Peninsula borough Selection. Therefore, we want to advise you that after you have made your choice, the remainder of the lands will be approved to the Borough, We have been working on a sale of borough lands and you may find our preliminary sale information on tho subject lands useful in reducing your selection from 96 acres to a figure be ow 13.7 acres.

Zoning.. Ordinance 0 Nola Kjelstad advioed the Commiaoion that after reading the final copy of'tho newly adopted Kenai City Zoning Ordinance, he felt certain adjustments should be made with reand to tho.dofinition of "Planning Commission". Nola male reference to several areas in the Ordinance where the term "Planning Commission" was used and felt It was unclear as to whether the reference was to the Konai Peninsula Borough Planning Commiaoion or the City of Kenai Planningg 4 Zoning Advioory Commiouion. Nola requested that tt�e City Attorney recommend to the proper a oncy that "Planning Commission" be defined under 'specific Definitions". I I 7 W KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COH4I5SI©N January 15, 1975 - Page Tao c. Street numbering and naming Commission recommended that Administration take into consideration in the preparation of the next budget for the 1975-1976 fiscal year allocations for a project to continue the street numbering, and naming. This project had been established several years ago and the Commission was advised that if residences were properly assignod street numbers, the U. S. Postal Service would make home mail delivery. ITEM 4: NEW BUSINESS a. Kenai City Library Building, 1. Mr. Ronald Jones and Mr. Robert Ames with Pacific Architects of Anchorage were introduced to the Commission at which time they presented schematics and renderings of the proposed Kenai City Library building. As Mr. Jones advised the Commission, their proposed pian is merely a suggestion at this time and more definite pians would be drawn up after a meeting with the interested parties, i.e. City Council, Administration, Library Board, etc. Mr. Jones advised that after consulting with contractors, a masonry with wood structure could be built for an estimated $65-$70 per square foot with approximately an $400,000 overall cost. Mr. Jones did point out that he and Mr. Ames were meeting with the Commission mainly to advise of their,firm's background and abilities and could not give dofioite estimates and plans at this point in time. The Commission asked if a square or rectanggalar shaped building would cost less in construction and upkeop -- Mr. Jones advised that there would be an approximate 150 savings on tho,astimated proposed cost plus an undetermined savings in heating of the building, etc. Pacific Architects would be available immediately for the Kenai City Library Building Project. 2. Mr. Roland Lane and Mr. Michael Plunkett of Lane, Knorr 4 Plunkett, Anchorage, presented their firm to the Commission as a capable and professionally staffed group of architects and engineers who have a good "track record" in Alaska. Among their many projects have been the Alaska Bank of Commerce Building in Anchorage, the State Airport Building on Lake Spenard and the CA Building for the University of Alaska. Mr. Plunkett expressed the desire to keep the Kenai City Library compatible with other structures in the area and to retain as much of the natural setting as possible. Their firm had talked with a cost estimator firm in Anchorage who felt a masonry and heavy timber structure could be built for an estimated $65 $70 per square foot. Mr. Plunkett felt a 5,000 square foot structure could be built well KENAI PLANNING ZONING COMMISSION January 13, 1975 - Page Three (Kenai City Library - continued) within the $400,000 budget limitation. Lane, Knorr $ Plunkett are available immediately to begin work on this project. 3. Proposed site of Kenai City Library building would be Block 1, Lots 3, 4, 5, 11, 12 and 13 of the Fidalgo Commercial Center. Beverly Fillio moved that the Commission designate Block 1, Lots 3, 4, 5, 11, 12, 13 of the Fidalgo Commercial Center for the Library site until such time as an architectural firm has been chosen and the final selection of lots from the foregoing made. Nels Kjelstad seconded the motion. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Nels Kjelstad moved that the Planning Commission endorse the Administration's plan to move ahead and to recommend to the City Council that they choose an architect for the construction of the library the first possible occasion and continue on,and be it on the record that the Kenai Planning $ Zoning Commission felt both firms presented at the regular meeting of January 13, 1975, were qualified and acceptable. Jon Nelson seconded the motion. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Mr. Roger Meeks expressed concern that after selection of the architectural firm, strict guidance and control over the design and plan'of the structure must be enforced by Administration. b. Mr. Dan Wright - Home Occupation Mr. Wright's residence is located two houses from the Miller Boarding House in the old Kenai Post Office on River View Drive. Mr. Wright would like to have a retail business located in his home and was advised that the area was zoned to Urban Residential.

I KENAI PLANNING f ZONING COWIISSION January 13, 1975 - Page Four c. FAA Housing Complex d. Mr. Lynn advised Commission on the progress of the FAA Housing Complex matter, and recommended that one of two steps be taken. 1) As appraisal has been completed, the homes should be sold and removed from the property. 2) Lease the remaining houses to the Bureau of Land Management for their fire fighting operation. Jon Nelson expressed concern over the City going into the housing business and compete with local people in rental of residential housing. Mr. Lynn advised that having the Bureau of Land Manage- ment located in Kenai would aid in fire fighting in the area. Jon Nelson moved the Commission recommend that Admini- stration proceed to sell the homes at the FAA Housing Complex and stipulate that they be moved from the premises. Betty Glick seconded the motion. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. The Kenai Planning S Zoning Commission advised that the matter of the disposal of the homes on the FAA Housing Complex be placed on, the agenda of the Kenai City Council meeting of January 1S, 1975.

Probably Walt Parker should be asked about this when he is down for the meeting in the near future. R3pr-sentative Leo Rhode Page 2 7 January 1975 b. Forrest Driva - Leo Rhode asked -if biers had been a traffic compilation of Forrest Drive. There are soma differences of opinion as to whether or not Forrest Drive has bean approved in the highway Dept. plans or not. Probably this question should be asked of Commissioner Parker as soon as possible. In addition to paving, it would be necessary to have sidewalks for safety purposes. The road is heavily utilized in view of the large subdivision, hor.►ss along the road, and the elementary school which -has in the neighborhood of 308 students. S. Return of additional revenues. Mayor Rlson explained the problems of having to raise the necessary revenues by municipalities to provide the numerous services. With the planned industrial development,. additional firemen, policemen, water and sewer, airport development, etc. will be needed. It was pointed out that during the industrial dsvelopwc:nt of the mid -60s Icenai received very little, if anything, in the way of funds from the State and we do think. it would be appropriator if some formula be utilized to return additional revenues to municipalities who•are providing the services. This area has been providing.a substantial percentage of State revenues for many years. 6. Fisheries rehabilitation. Evidently the gravel incubation plan for the Kenai River is still under consideration. In addition, stream rehabilitation is scheduled for bishop Creek. We still do not know if a fish hatchery is planned. Emphasis was given to the importance of the Kenai River as probably the major salmon producer in the Cook Inlet System. • , Mar subjects discussed included but were not limited to: contracting with this State of Alaska for -the -utilization of the Kenai city jail tit is directly across from the Courthouse and would save a consideraLle amount of time and expense); exploring the State Loan Plan with munici- palities; additional sources of revenue for the Stats; Lower Cook Inlet cases counting the people who actually use the municipal facilities outside and inside of cities, rather than.restriating the count only to those who live within.the cities. I am forwarding copies of this letter to Bob Palmer, Clam Tillion, ttugh Malone, City of Kenai and the Umnai Chamber of Commerce.

Out m bership has increased to a point where we need larger quarters. Also the layout of our building cues not fit our needs as far as Scouts events, etc. are concerned. Your proposed library calls for 5000 sq. ft., our building is 6000 sq. ft. Our building is centrally located in tmm and is on City party. There could be a new Library far sooner using our building. The tax- payers would save considerable money by not having architect fees, etc. Also the price of our building excluding, furnishings and fixtures would be far less than a new structure. If the City would be interested in the Elks Lodge building the price would be approximately $350,000.00. There would have to be a vote of Wroval by the Kenai Mks membership and approval by the Grand Lodge before a sale could be final.. If the City is interested, we would re- quire a fine► offer and earnest money before presenting a sale to the .... �L :. - hip for their approval.
