CORRESPONDENCE
E - 1:
Letter from Library Board
The Council received the following letter from the Library Board:
"Thank you for forwarding the enclosed petition dated
16 January 1975 and signed by 21 citizens who are requesting
a change in the name of the Kenai library currently in the
preliminary stages of planning and construction."
"If the library were to be renamed, most assuredly Jettie
Petersen's name would be of prime consideration. However, as
a legal entity, our library
is and always has been Kenai
Community Library, Inc. This
corporation was established in
1949 under the then Territory of Alaska statutes and continues
now under the corporate laws of the State of Alaska."
"As a thoughtful courtesy to these petitioners, we feel a
brief letter of explanation to each signer would fulfill their
understanding. We would be happy to do the writing, or perhaps
you would prefer to do it. Let us know how we may help."

"A footnote to this letter: in our excitement about an
expanded library facility, and in anticipation of the long
awaited ribbon cutting dedication, we are making plans to honor
the founders of our library and give recognition to the many
volunteers who have been the mainstay of our organization. We
welcome suggestions and are ready to assist wherever possible."
The letter was signed by Nedra T. Evenson, President, Board of
Directors, Kenai Community Library, Inc.
The following is Mayor Elson's response:
"The Council has now heard from the petitioners and from
the body upon whose advice the Council depends for direction in
governing the library. The Council has three choices, as I see
it. First is to do as the petitioners request and name the library
for a person who has given much of her life not only in the dev-
elopment of this community but also in dedicated service to the
development of the people who live in the community. Giving herself
to educate, to encourage the arts, the appreciation of culture, the
development of our local society and establishing the mores of our
community. And yet if you consider her contribution solely to the
library alone, you will likely find that none have contributed
more. Thus, deserving she is of the first choice."
"The second choice is to name the facility "The Kenai
Community Library", which was the choice of the founders of the
library and the present Board of which she is a member of both; f
thus complying with the wishes of the Board which advises you now. 1
But it is their desire that this great lady of Kenai be recognized
for the contribution she has made, along -with others that have
contributed so much of themselves in order to see a library started
and made such a great effort to see that the people of this
community could benefit by the availability of all the messages
that could be carried by the printed words and pictures."
"So your second choice is really that of letting the name
of the library remain the same, but setting in a place of honor
and notice the names of those people who made this facility a
living institution to the people of this community."
"Your third choice is to take no action. By taking this
choice, I believe you choose to say that this library belongs to
all the people, and is supported by all the taxpayers and therefore
acknowledges the contribution of all the people who live in Kenai
or who have ever lived here."
"Council, - My choice is the second. This is not to say
that Mrs. Petersen is not deserving, for I believe she is most
deserving. However, this local institution has a history that over
the years has become known and admired for its excellance and
dedication throughout the State. I believe that recognition
deserved the continuance and thus the honor of the name its
founders bestowed upon it."

"Secondly, I believe, that the success of this library
has been a measure of this community and that the people deserves
the honor of it being designated as a "Community Library"."
"And thirdly, and most importantly, Mrs. Petersen deserves
honors for her dedication and service she has given to'this
community, particularly to the library. But there were others
who gave of themselves, perhaps not as much or in the same way,
whose efforts helped create and who nourished the original
volunteer Community Library into the living institution of a
Kenai Community Library as we propose for the future."
"Therefore, as Mayor, I ask for Council's concurrence
that the name of the library remain as it has been known over
the years, "The Kenai Community Library" and that in a place of
honor and public notice that the names of the founders and those
who have given so much of themselves to the library be inscribed
in a bronze plaque so as to be seen and recognized by all who
will benefit in the future from those who cared in the past."
Thomas moved and Ambarian seconded to adopt the recommendation
of. the Mayor and the Kenai Community Library Board and have
the name of the library remain "Kenai Community Library". The
motion carried unanimously by roll call vote.
OLD BUSINESS
Resolution 7S-05 - Lease Rates Terminal Building (need roll call
Moto)
Morgan moved and Steiner seconded to adopt Resolution 7S-05 -
Lease rates Terminal Building.
Councilman Thomas asked if these rates have been discussed with
the tenants. Mr. Lynn stated he has spoken with them. They are
not too much in disagreement, however the City Attorney felt we
have to wait another two years to renegotiate the bar and cafe
lease.
There was some discussion on the fluctuating utility charges.
Mr. Baldwin stated that if the utilities can be segregated, that
amount will be charged to the individual lessee.
Councilman Morgan asked about the stairway. Mr. Lynn stated he
believes this is in the F.A.A. contract.
Councilman Morgan moved to table the motion until we find out if
the stairway is in the F.A.A. lease. The motion died for lack
of a second.
The main motion.carried by roll call vote. Voting yes; Steiner,
Thomas, and Ambarian. Voting no; Morgan and Mayor Elson.

Steiner moved and Ambarian seconded to approve payment of bills
as listed on the memo of February 19, 1975. The motion carried
unanimously by roll call vote with Thomas abstaining on the
K.U.S.C.O. bill.
t
Ordinance 256-75 - Harbor & Harbor Facilities
Mayor Elson stated he has been an advocate of establishing a !
Harbor Commission for the past three or four years and is
interested in the development of the harbor. He feels there
are several areas to be considered and requests we not take this
up at this meeting. Mayor Elson stated he has some thoughts he
would like to run through Planning $ Zoning. After some discussion,
there was no ojection to deferring this at this time.
Report on land recommended for a nark by the Oilers
Mr. Lynn stated he went to Anchorage and spoke with Mr. Brown {
and Mr. Wilcox with F.A.A. They have no ob'ections to ]easing
the land to the Oilers if we get a fair ma4et value, if the
lease is temporary and will be used for commercial and industrial
once the demand becomes great enough. The fair market value
would run approximately $6,000 a year. Mr. Swearingen felt this
was too big an expense to bear. Mr. Lynn felt we should now look
for alternate land or maybe land leased from the State.
t
Sealand Lease j
Mr. Lynn stated that because of the strike, we have not received
the lease back from Sealand and recommends this be tabled once '
again. There were no objections.
Go Machine Sales 6 Service Lease

Sales $ Service.
Steiner moved and Ambarian seconded to approve the lease of Lots

G - 7: Counter offer by Wince. Corthell on offer to settle for Kaknu
Korners project
Mr. Lynn reported the City offered to settle with Wince, Corthell
"f for $4,513 for completion of the Kaknu Korners and Davidson/Cone
f projects. Wince, Corthell felt they were giving up several areas.
The City Manager, City Attorney, and Wince, Corthell met and felt
a fair settlement would be $7,•277.80. Wince, Corthell would be
giving up $4,500 in claims. They would give up the claim for
re -design if the City would pay the full amount of resident
inspections. Mr. Lynn stated there will be no additional
compensation to certify the project up to the present stage of
completion. Mr. Baldwin stated the contract is unclear and feels
this is the most equitable solution.
Steiner moved and Ambarian seconded to make the compromise with
Wince, Corthell and pay them $7,277.80 for payment in full for
the Kaknu Korner project and Davidson/Cone project. The motion
carried unanimously by roll call vote.
G - 8: Artesian Well No. 2 Project
Mr. Lynn stated Mr. Galliett has come down to go over his
j recommendation on the water supply well 02.
Mr. Galliett stated he will summarize his letter of report of
February 12, 1975. Kenai still needs a new well as well 01 is
the only producing well. Since the bids were rejected last year,
another development has arisen. The Dept. of Environmental
Conservation have tested the water and it shows 2S micrograms
j per liter arsenic content, which is one half of the rejection
limit, The City may continue to use well Nl as long as the
arsenic content remains below SO micrograms per liter. However,
new wells must not test more than 10 micrograms per liter to be
eligible for State grants.
One problem is the location of a new well. It should not be
drilled too close to well #1. Mr. Galliett listed a recommended
project and -an alternative. The recommended project would have
8,600 lineal foot of 12" water main and dispense with the test
wells. The alternative would have 30070•lineal foot of 12" water
- main and two test wells. He recommends for immediate action:
1. Determine how much bond money the City has for
` the project. Mr. Lynn indicated there is $241,023
available.
2. Get the best priority from O.E.D.P. Have it included
in the Kenai Peninsula Borough O.E.D.P. and justify a high
priority. This is an essential step in getting E.D.A. funds
3. Apply for E.D.A. funds.
" Mr. Galliett felt that force accounting should be carefully
studied. He has reservations but it has worked in the past.

Councilman Morgan asked would we use City forces and separate
contracts. Mr. Galliett stated it would require both. The
E drilling of the well and the hanging of the pump would be on a
I = separate contract. The electrical portion is a question.
Councilman Thomas asked how much the City has prepaid for the
engineering. Mr. Lynn stated $8,000 plus. Mr. Galliett has a
complete set of plans that should be considered as preliminary.
There would be $4,000 to $5,000 for additional engineering.
Mayor Elson felt the testing for arsenic content could have been
tested at its peak as the arsenic content fluctuates.
Mr. Galliett recommends not offering a bonus for quick completion;
pay at least 90% of the material when it arrives on the job and
after the job is 50% complete, terminate the retainage.
Councilman Morgan asked about the mechanics of getting O.E.D.P.
approval. Mayor Elson stated that when E.D.A. funds a project
they look at the regional development concept. O.E.D.P. helps
encourage development of an area. They have made various studies
and fits projects in with the overall development of an area.
The local O.E.D.P. assign the priorities. Dick Stetler and
H. J. Steiner are on the local committee.
The Mayor declared a five minute recess and reconvened the meeting
at 10:20 P.M.
Steiner moved and Morgan seconded to direct the City Administration
to work with Mr. Galliett to get a major item equipment list for
the well on site H2 and go out to bid to get the materials on
hand. The motion carried unanimously by roll call vote.
G - 9: Contract - Civil Service Commission.
Mr. Lynn stated Mr. Salik from the Civil Service Commission was
in the office to discuss the contract concerning job classification
and pay plan study. Mr. Lynn reported there is $6,000 in the
budget to cover this and the amount they estimated was $6,000.
He recommends we enter into the contract.
Steiner moved and Ambarian seconded we enter into a contract with
the Civil Service Commission. The motion carried unanimously by
roll call vote.

H - 1: City Manazer's Report
Mr. Lynn stated he wanted clarification from one item in the

at $5,126.53. We have budgeted for two cars. He would like the
intent clarified. There was an option to purchase an additional
car.

Mr. Lynn reported Mr. O'Connor has accepted the position of
Finance Director and Mr. Aber accepted the Public Works Supt.
position. He will ask Council to confirm the appointments
at the next Council meeting.
Mr. Lynn asked if there were any objections for Council to
discuss the Fire Service District in a work session before
Friday night. There were no objections. The work session will
- be held after adjournment this evening.
H - 2: City Attorney's Report
Mr. Baldwin stated the method of financing a new storage shop
was brought up at the last meeting. To bring a lease/purchase
contract within the Constitution requires the indebtedness within
a one year period. One type of contract would be a year to year
type of lease with an option to lease for another year with lease
payments credited towards purchase. There is no way we can be
obligated beyond one year.
Mr. Baldwin stated the recodification is coming right along and
need to start meeting on the first revision. He has culled alot
of deadwood and conform the ordinances to actual practice.
Councilman Steiner stated he is pleased with the job and the
' other Councilmen concurred and for him'to keep grinding out the
�- material.
H - 3: Mayor's Report
Mayor Elson stated that Friday the Mayors of four cities had their
first meeting. They discussed common problems and feel the need
for the Mayors to meet once a month. Four of the Mayors are going
to the Alaska Conference of Mayor on February 27th 28th. The
Mayor of Seldovia couldn't make the first meeting. They hope to

WE the under signed respectfully request that our new library for
the City of Kenai be named the "JETRET S. PETERSEN" LIBRARY.
Our reasons are numerous.but we feel in view of the fact she established
our present library in 1949 and probably gave more volunteer hours than
any one else .before it was turned over to the city.
She has without a doubt spent more time in volunteer work for our
community than any other person:

MEETING WITH FAA
REGARDING USE OF AIRPORT LANDS
On Friday, February 7th, I -met with Mr. Lyle
Brown and Mr. Don Wilcox regarding the use of
airport lands and other airport matters. In
summary, the discussion was as follows:
1... The 'FAA insists that all airport lands
be used in such a way that revenue is pro-
duced for the airport. In regard to the
140 acres to be utilized as a home for
the Peninsula Oilers and for recreation
purposes, the FAA has no objections to
leasing land to the.Oilers so long as
the fair market value is paid each year.
The area could be used on a temporary
basis for Little League fields, etc. with
the understanding that it would be
temporary and used for commercial and
industrial use once the demand becomes
great enough.
2. The FAA would not object to the City
borrowing from the airport lands to
build a City Shop so long as the principal
and interest is repaid. Otherwise, the
airport fund is subsidizing general
municipal government operations.
3. The FAA has no requirements that the airport
revenues be divided into three separate funds.
Housing and Urban Development does require
that terminal revenues be placed in a
separate and distinct fund. However, the
land fund and maintenance and operation fund
could be combined and the revenues used for
the maintenance, operation and development
of the airport.

S. The FAA would still like to see us hire an Airport
Manager as soon after the start of the new fiscal

however, if we can only afford a younger, less
experienced man, the FAA will assist us in whatever
way they can in training the individual by letting
him spend time working with FAA personnel.

Dear Mr. Lynn:
Kenai needs a new well in the Beaver Creek artesian
aquifer. This new well is needed to back up existing Well
No. 1. Existing Well No. 1 supplies all of Kenai's water.
If Well No. 1 quits running, Kenai is out of water. The
new well should be in the Beaver Creek artesian aquifer,
because this aquifer is the only proven source of good
water the City can afford to reach.
On Friday, October 4, 1974, the City of Kenai opened
bids -for a new test well, production well, well house,
connecting water main and overhaul of existing Well No. 1.
The engineer's estimate for the work, was.$262,217. The
low bid, by Brown Construction Co., Inc., was $420,601.
All bids were rejected.
Since September of last year, the Alaska Department
of Environmental Conservation has tested the water from
existing Well No. 1. The test showed an arsenic content of
25 micrograms per liter. Since 1942 the rejection limit
for arsenic in public water supplies has-been 50 micro-
grams per liter. I -lore recently the Environmental Protection
Agency of the federal government has recommended that
arsenic not exceed 10 micrograms per liter in public
water supplies.

Conservation. The Alaska Department of Environmental
Conservation follows the federal Environmental Protection
Agency drinking water standards.
My interpretation of the various discussions regarding
our arsenic problem which I have had with Alaska Department
of Environmental Conservation officials is as follows:
1. Existing Well No. 1 may continue to be used as
long as the arsenic content of the water remains below 50
micrograms per liter.
2. New ,►ells which, upon initial test by the Alaska
Department of Environmental Conservation, yield water with
an arsenic content of more than 10 micrograms per liter,
may not be eligible for state grant funds.
3. New wells which, upon initial test by the Alaska
Department of Environmental Conservation, show an arsenic
content in the water of 10 or less micrograms per liter will
be eligible for state grant funds.
4. New wells which, after having been in service for
some time, develop an arsenic content in the water of over
10, but less than 50 micrograms per liter will be allowed
f ^�
to -continue in service.
When Test Well No. 4, which is located near existing
Well No. 1, was first drilled, the water was tested by the
US Geological Survey. The test showed an arsenic content
in the water from the test well of about 4 micrograms per
liter.
Later, when existing Well No. 1 was first drilled,
the water was tested by the US Geological Survey. The test
showed an arsenic content in the water from the production
well of about 5 micrograms per liter. But, after several
years of pumping from this well, the arsenic content of
the water has slowly increased to 25 micrograms per liter.
There is no point in pursuing the argument that other
nations with high water quality standards allow an arsenic
content of 200 micrograms per liter in public drinking
water supplies. Nor would it alter the problem to note
that there has never been a case of clinical or subclinical
illness recorded from the drinking of water for long periods
which had an arsenic content of about 1,000 micrograms per
liter. The standards are obviously very conservative, and
no harm to the people - even infants - is possible from the
-2-
L
naturally -occurring trace amounts of arsenic in the water
being drawn from the Beaver Creek artesian aquifer.
The problem of arsenic in well water supplies is a
common one. The California Department of Water Resources
nas an unpublished, open -file report on this problem
entitled, "Memorandum on Arsenic in Ground Waters of the
San Joaquin Valley". The interstitial water 'in clays
which contain arsenic is usually a concentrated solution
of minerals dissolved from the extremely -fine clay parti-
cles. When an artesian aquifer is confined by a stratum
of arsenic -containing clay, a reduction of pressure in
the artesian aquifer by pumping causes some of the inter-
stitial water from the clay to enter the artesian aquifer.
Though the amount of water drawn from the clay stratum is
small, the mineral content may be high. In time, the
mineral -containing water from the clay stratum works its
way through the pervious aquifer toward a producing well.
The highest concentration of minerals will probably be
found where the drawdown by wells is the greatest.
If the City drills a test well too close to existing
Well No. 1 - particularly if the test well is drilled within
the drawdown cone of existing Well No. 1 - the chances are
that the•water from the test well will contain minerals
draft down by past pumping from existing Well No. 1. Also,
if a new production well - by being too close to existing
Well No. 1 - causes additive drawdown by mutual inter-
ferance, then the rate at which arsenic is drawn into the
aquiferfrom the confining stratum may be substantially
increased. It is possible that extreme drawdown could cause
the arsenic content of the water to reach the rejection
level. Then both wells might have to be shutdown.
Therefore, any new well should be drilled at a safe
distance from existing Well No. 1.
If we accept the arsenic theory, then it follows that
an artesian aquifer under substantial pressure would
over thousands of years - have flushed arsenic -containing
interstitial water out of an overlying clay stratum. All
of these strata are more or less permeable. The rate of
arsenic removal would have to be considerably higher than
the rate of arsenic going into solution from clay particles,
for arsenic to be reduced in the interstitial water.
An underlying clay stratum will also give up interstitial'
water - which may contain arsenic - when the artesian water
pressure is reduced by water withdrawal. It is not to be
expected that the interstitial water in an underlying
stratum would have a lower arsenic content by reason of

j artesian pressure. There is not likely to be any down-

flushing action in a downward direction.
Therefore, any new well may have as little as half
as much arsenic upon initial test and later, after long
production, if it is drilled where there.is a substantial
artesian pressure tending to flush the overlying clay
containing stratum.
In 1969 and 1970, the City had 5 wells drilled in
the Beaver Creek artesian aquifer. The closed -in artesian
water level at these wells was as follows:

Therefore, a well may have less arsenic if it is drilled
`t
where toe artesian water level is substantially above surface.
In short, if a test well is to be drilled to prove a
site for a new production well, it should be drilled as far
to the east from existing Well Plo. 1 as funds will permit.
Arsenic is likely to be less, not only because of flushing
-
by artesian pressure, but also because of lower drawdown.
resulting from (1) greater artesian pressure farther east,
(2j
higner transmissivity of the aquifer farther east, and
3
no mutual or additive drawdown effects. If funds can be
-
found to go all the way 'to Test Well No. 2, no test well will
be needed, as Test Well No. 2 has proven the site* at which
it is located to be excellent.
The recent low bidder at the October 4, 1974, bid
opening, bid $31,150 to drill and test a new test well which
was to be located about 2,400 feet east from existing Well
No. 1. A conservative estimate of the chance of obtaining
an acceptable rate of production and mineral content in a
test well would be about 50.percent. Under this admittedly -
conservative estimate, two test wells might have to be
drilled and tested to find one suitable production well site.
Consequently, the City might have had to spend not $31,150,
but $62,300 to find the place to drill a new production well.
Therefore, the premium for going all the way to Test Well
No. 2 may be estimated at roughly $62,300.
The low bidder at the October 4, 1974, bid opening, bid
as shown below per linear foot to construct 12 inch water
M
main to connect the projected new well. The soil is fine
sand or peat. The water table is near the surface. A 'road

has -to be built along part of the trench.

It is about 8,600 feet from where the existing 12 inch
water main ends to Test Well No. 2. If the $31.61 per LF
unit price is used, the cost of a 12 inch water main extension
to Test Well No. 2 would be $271,846. From this amount there
should be deducted $62,300, the estimated cost of test wells
at other locations. Thus, the net cost of extending 12 inch
water main to Test Well rho. 2 would be about $210,000.
The cost to the City of Kenai to construct a major
production well at Test Well No. 2, using the October 4, 1974,
low bid as a basis, is estimated as follows:

I recommend that the project above be constructed as soon
` -
as possible, if the 'City can get at least 25 percent state and
25 percent federal grant funds. Most of the engineering has
been done and paid for by the City. Kenai is in a period of
growth. None of these facilities is getting any cheaper. Kenai
cannot go on depending on one, sub -standard water suppply well.

The goal of getting good water to Thompson Park will be
advanced by extending water main to Test Well No. 2. A larger
project may result in lower unit prices.
