He cannot challenge the cost data. 11 Ordinance d43 tot introduction is for tho appropriation o£ ~eneral £und~0ments,;eserve in'the o~h~--~-~r~'ffl00,000 from the water and sewer capital improvement reserve £und. Such funds are appropriated for the City's share o£ the construction of the sewage treatment plant and appurtenances. I wilI point out that ~e are only asking for tho appropriation o£ one hal£ million dollars this time since the actual fund balances o£ the two accounts will not, ~t this time, permit the other $100,000 to be appropriated. You vi11 also note that on the funds lent by the general £und into the water and sewer utility~ there is a requirement that~ once · CITY I~IANACER'S REPORT October 13, 1978 - page 2 11 CON?INUED these funds are drawn on, there will be interest duo the general fund-for use of its monies. 12 Ordinance 444 appropriates anti-recessionar~ mq.ntes. The monies her~ provide for some equipment ~o~ the sewer treatment plant composite sampler, and some oxygen equipment. It also provides for some grade rings for adjustment of manhole covers, the printed codification of the City Code, and some additto~al book money for the attorney· ?here is also a provision for lease money to lease the additional space required for the Revenue Department on relocation of it due to the Jail facility, and also provides money to lease the hanger south of the CAP area for warm storage. You will note that the last item on the agenda under new business is discussion o~ the lease of the hanger for warm storage. We are proposing at this time to allocate funds for that lease. Resolution 169 is one directed by the Council in support of Polar's app~c~tion for certification as a comuter airlines to Kenai. 14 Resolution 170 approves the CHlH Hill facilities plan for the City of a~nai. ' ........ 15 R_eso~ution 171 trans£ers funds within the streets accounts to properly place the bluff fenciBg property"that, as you know has already been torn dmen in ~he proper account. 16 Resolution 172 is a. proposal to award ~ravol contracts. We have two ~endors that have made identical proposal, The amount requested ia 1200 cubic yards £or which each quote five dollars per cubic yard. · here~ore, the actual award portion of this Resolution is blank at this 17 ~esolution 173 approves a contract with CH2N Hill for the engineering of the~DAP runway pro,eot. 18 ResOlution 174 acknowledges receipt of enqineerin~ proposals and selects Wince, C0~th~ll', BrySon and'Freas-"to do the engineering on l~trport Way a~d ~illo~ Street Road ~or the sewer line. This proposal ~s w~th a not to exceed figure. The Resolution accepts the proposal, but requires the contract be si~ned be£ore notice to proceed ia issued. 19 Resolution 17S also relates to ~ater and sever engineering, selecting Ted Forsi gnd"~ssooiates toss the ~th~r engineering prO}sets. Similar toResolution 174, this one indicates Forsi to do-the work, but requires signatures on the contract before notice to proceed. 20 Lease t9 Carr-~ottstein for the site of the Prairie Harket store adjacent to DiA.

I will point out that'We .are now d~laytn~ the bias on the ?ermi~al winterization with the concurrence of EDA since we have been advised that the cost of the project now due to weather conditions be substantially over the cOst if we were to proceed with it in the spring. We will go for bid the first of the year with construction dates in late spring or early sunmer. Presumably we will then receive better costs. 23 Payment request from-Rockford Corporation for the change order nun~er two that~a have earlier on tho agenda. It is not in your packet, but it should be received and available for you Wednesday. 24 Requests discussion of the hanver lease for warm storage. This is w~th P~ninsula Enterprises requested by C~unc~lman An~hrian. You will note that we have provided in the anti-recessionary funds appropriation Ordinance the funds to lease the hanger for a six month's period. It is our intent to have the lease effective the first of November for this period which will give ua, of course, through the winter. The reason we are not going beyond that ~s not only the cost of leasing the hanger, but that entire tract needs to analyzed An relation to the Airport Master Plan and certainly replatted so that we =an put it on the market in an appropriate manner. 25 X have been informed by the City Clerk that ~ary gitel ACI has asked to be added under persons scheduled to be heard. According to the Clerk, they are asking for a change in their lease. ! do not have any details. ,, .CITY OF KENAI October 15, 1978 MEMO TO: FROM: SUBJECT: John Wise, City Manager Keith Kornelis, Public Works Director What's Happening Report for City Council Meeting on October 18, 1978. 1977 STREET IMPROVEMENTS FORREST DRIVE, KAKNU WAY, WALKER LANE, LUPINE DRIVE, AIRPORT LOOP, LILAC STREET The City of Kenai, Wince Corthell, McLane Surveying, Mark Raymond, who was the inspector for PMA during the construction period, and Brown Construction Company have been working on the final quantities for these projects. This last week we have had a series of rather lengthy meetings in an effort to narrow down the differences in the opinions concerning pay estimates on these projects. Brown Construction Company has submitted a pay estimate for this up- coming Council Meeting. I noticed on the pay estimate that he has reduced the retainage to zero percent. Some thought should be given to the consequences of paying a*100 percent prior to some type of agreement concerning claims, liabilities and final pay quantities. It is my understanding from Mr. Brown that he plans on submitting some additional costs related to the project that he £eels the City should pay. At this point there are still quite a few questions left unresolved. Final quantities have been arrived at, but they have not been accepted by all parties . 3 MILLION GALLON WATER STORAGE TANK I have received verbal approval on Change Orders #3 and #4 from EDA and DEC. Unfortunately, DEC has included in their approval a request for a building enclosure around the generator. I have explained that the proposed-generator is housed in a all-weather housing, but they have expressed their concern for operators' safety and convenience in maintenance and operation of this generator. Change Order #2 that concerns the relocation of a ltomer Electric powerline has been submitted for Council approval. Mr. Galliet and Rockford Corporation have now both asked for approval. Rockford Corporation has been notified of tho approval of the Change Orders Just prior to the arrival of the letter that is enclosed in your packet behind Change Order #2. It is unfortunate that it took so long for these approvals, but DEC has required that they review the Change Orders in writing prior to their approval. Memo to John Wise Page 2 October 13, 1978 -- ,1 . llI{I._~_ll ...... I ...... i,ml I Illl PULBIC WORKS CAPITAL IMPROVF. M£NTS PRIORITY LIS3' In my last three reports, I have included a priority list which I felt was necessary to provide adequate service to the citizens of the City of £enai. Friday at 2:00 p.m., we are opening bid proposals for a new motor grader. This I feel is very badly needed by the City of Kenai. As mentioned earlier in my reports, the City still is in need of a lube rack and grease dispensing reels with a lean-to on our present shop building. Another large motor grader, a new warm storage building for storing our equipment, renovation of the gas and diesel pumps at our shop, an addition to our animal shelter, and a portable generator that can be used for operations for our water system at both .well houses are also needed. ANTI-RECESSIONARY MONEY Unfortunately, the Public Works Department was not made aware that there was additional Anti-Recessionary Money available until the staff meeting on October 11, 1978. A list of Anti-Recessionary Expenditures for the Public Works Department was submitted to you some two or three hours after this meeting. There are many items that the City of lenai at this time rents from rental agencies at additional cost to the City. The use o£ this Anti-Recessionary Money could be used to purchase these items,and hope£ully,they could pay for themselves. WINTERIZATION OF THE I~ARMSTORAGE BUILDING The bid date of October 12, 1978 for the Winterization of the Warm Storage Building came and went without any bid proposals, There are six plan holders but no bidders. ~e have set a new bid date of October 26~ 1978 at 2:00 p.m. We are at this time making inquiries as to why no one bid on the project. So far the only reasons that we have come up with are that the project is so small and that the project consists mainly of specialized construction. Whereas the requirement calls for a general contractor, this problem could be corrected with some coordination with general contractors and specialty contractors. Because this work is inside the ~arm Storage Building, it can be done during the winter months. GRAVi~L BID There were two bids received on October 11, 1978 for furnishing the City of Kenai with gravel. Both bids came in a SS per cubic yard. Memo to John Wi~e Page 3 October 13, 1978 $150,000 CEIP ENGINEERING FOR WATER AND SEWER There were five proposals submitted to the City of Kenai for this work. These proposals came from USKIt, Wince Corthell, Ted Forsi, CI!2~ Hill, and Bomhoff. All of the proposals that were submitted were taken and made available to the Subcommittee on Public Works on October 12, 1978. It is my understanding that this Subcommittee will have a recommendation to Council at this upcoming meeting. Our water and sewer crew has been working on the Well Houses and the various abandoned wells throughout the City in an effort to get them ready for winter. They have repaired the sewer line in Woodland; they have changed some of the meters around town that are not operable; they have instalXed water in our warm storage building so that it will be available after the concrete floor has been poured in this upcoming contract. They have also been working on the operation and maintenance of our lift stations and other various equipment. The street crew has been working on hauling away the ~unk cars that the Fire Department used for their drill. They nave been working on the transformer cans on the airport; they have completed some drainage and culvert work on Primrose in Thompson Park; they have also been working on winterization and storage arrangements for'our street equipment. They have been blading streets with our one and only grader. They have installed an extra piece of culvert in the driveway that you requested. They have sawed around potholes and pavements around town and completed patchwork pavement. They have repaired the merry-go-round at the Public Health Office. They have swept and cleaned intersections around town. The shop crew has been working on winterization of tho Police Cars, repairing defrosters on the Police Cars, re~airing oil pans on tho Senior Citizen's Van, working on the blAC Fzre Truck. They have replaced tho break pads on the Dog Catcher*s pickup. They have studded the new tires in an effort to get ready for winter. They have made temporary repairs on the Turret on the Fire Truck. They have replaced pinion seal and U-Joints on the Police Car and are they have continued on the maintenance and repair of our City Equipment. I have been told by Equipment Services, Ltd. that they will rent a'$01 Auten Western Motor Grader for $4,500 a month with 90 percent of the rental to apply toward the purchase price or that with a 6 month guarantee we will rent this grader for $t,500 a month with a purchase at the end of the 6-month period of $51,050. If tho City of Kenai experiences a heavy snow Xoad this winter, we may be looking for lease equipment and this should be kept in mind. Homo to John ~ise Page 4 October 13, 1978 Unfortunately, during a heavy snow season many of these lease equipment motor graders will be leased out already. When I talked to Mike Gill with £DA in Seattle concerning the Change Orders on the Tank, he mentioned something that should be brought out and emphasized. He stated that on December 29, 1978 £DA would be calling back all excess money from their projects. AIRPORT TERMINAL ARCTIC DOORS After much discussion with the architect, Mr. Carmen 6intoli, with ~DA representative, Arnold Hyren, and with various local contractors it was decided that it would be to the City's benefit to postpone the bid date until March 8, 1979. Because of the lateness of the season, it is felt that we will get considerably better prices at that time. Attached are the schematics for the addition to the City Shop and Animal Control Shelter. 1 I I Hutchings Chevrolet, Inc. P.

Box 580 Kenai, Alaska 99611 REs 1979 Police Car Bids Xt bas been brought to my attention that the City of Kenai has a~arded bid~ on the 1979 police cars toT he Car Company. The Car Company won the bids because a bid was submitted by literarily pulling a price out of the sky -aorta frenchtsed dealers had received their pricing on police care at the time of the bid opening. The City }hnaser, Hr. Wise, was well awa~e the 1979 police car pricing woe not available as he had been contacted by my office a number of tames concerning the 1979 police ear bids and in facto Hr. Wise, was asked to consider a ne~ bid opening date - but ~r. Wise did not feel that a nee date would be acceptable. Rather than present the City Council of Kenai ~lth a bid that was not comparative and which would hove been a grossly over priced unit - ! sent my bid sheets to the City Moasser with the statement that no 1979 police car pricing ~as available ~u hopes that the CLty Council would reject all bids and aec a no~ bid open~ng dace. Unfortunately the City Council ~a8 not cognizant of the otatement on my bid sheete and the bids Erom ~he Car Company were ac- cepted. After the bide hMbeenopened but before the bida were a~arded X re- ceived my pricing on 1979 police vehicles - at this time ! once again contacced Nr. #tee and informed him of the receipt of the 1979 police ear pricing - he then informed me that the bids were to be m;arded to · he Car Company. I consequently requested the dollar amount so that ! could compare the figures to the prices that ! had received and reali=ed dm unaettling fact - The Car Company was uaking a net profit o£ approxi- mteXy $900.00 per vehiclewhich totals a tidy sum of 2700,00 profit on threepoXice.vahiclea. ~his is meney chat you aataxpayers have let your City tan aSSr aq~der because he did not feel saving tax money should be any inducement for reachedultns bid dates albeit you were not a~are of the many conversations that ! had with ar. Wise. Zt iomy sincere hope that the City Council Lo able to benefit from this experience and satn a closer workin~ relationship with the City Hutchings Chevrolet, Inc. P. O. BOX 950 SOLDOTNA, ALASKA 99669 907 262-5891 Haneser es I m sure that the City Council feels very stronsly about apendin8 $2700.00 o£ the taxpayers money needlessly.

TAXATI~ A~D FINAl:CE Scare Collected, Locally Shared Taxes A. t~unicipalities in Alaska presently derive sisnt£ie~nt revenues from scare-collected, locally s~red ~axes ~o ~lp m~ ~hetr basic ~era~tn8 e~ensea. ~y curZail~Z si such ~even~a w~ld ~ve a aerio~ a~erse eff~C ~ t~ operac~ og ~icipal g~em~nts, ~esultins in either a mr~d ~c~se o~ lo~l property cases or a reduction ~ c~ l~el of 8e~ces. offered to the ~lic. ~le ~, therefore, opposes E~Z~ of such r~ues Chrou~ the elt~i~ o~ such ~a~s ~leos o~her eq~ s~rces o~ r~ue are ~e available co local g~e~, or ~E~r~t~ns Co c~p~aCe for lost r~an~s ar~ ~e by the State. B. ~he exploration, developnmnt and industrial utilization o£ renewable and non-rent,-able resources, both inside and outside municipal boundaries, creates a substantial and d__~_~___ediaCe impact on the need for municipal facilities ~nd sez~ices which exceed the financial ability of most municipalities to meet in tho short period o£ time available Co have such £a~ilit~s and aeEvices operational. ~he Lea~un urges adoption of legislation which would provide financial flosioc~nce to municipalities which are pEopos~d for such impacts. C. ~he League continues Co urge adequnce fundins of tho Abandoned l~oCor Vehicle Fund ~;iCh special emphasis paid to the cost incurred in abandoned vehicles ~tch have no value. D. Zhe League. supports legislation vhich would enable muaicipaltcias Co levy, by local option, a tax on the same tax source as are autherised for levy undo~ the Alaska Xucome Tax Act, without restricting mmicipalitto8' · lshts to levy taxes on echo' sources. The Leasue further recommends thc the municipal income cas bo collected and adudntsCered by the SCats and refunded Co the Jurisdiction levyias the cas. Local_l[ Collected Taxes_ A. Sources of 1seal revenue for municipalities in Alaska are limited to a vm~y extensive desree, Co tho incom~ derived from local property and males taxes. Therefore, the League opposes the tropes/riCh of state- mandated exemptions o£ certain classes of property, individuals, or~_A_pi~actess or commodities, from the applications of such taxes unless adequate compensation is made by the State Co reimburse local $ove~nment for revenues lost due to theme mampcians. B, Several lave have been enacted in the past fe~ years ~hteh have mmdeted exemptions, partial exemptions and de£ezxale £rom loesX property taxes or assessments. In most cases provisions have been included which cause tho SCare co reimburse municipolicios £or lost revenua, The League urges the tmSisXature co include in 811 such reimbursement le§islatton the pro~isio~s that this ~oi~hursoment iea lion in £avor o£ tho Scare a§einst the property ommpted, except that thio lien provision viii not apply Co exemptions Granted under AS 29.53.020(e). C. Thc State of Alaska is increasin§ly acqutrin§ property v;ithin the various municipalities and as such de, ands the local governmental ~e~vices for such property to include /ire, police and other a~enities from th~ human resource standpoint. The Lea§ur, therefore, endorses the position whereby the State would pay to the local ~overnments a payment in lieu of ad valorem taxes for the State o~.mod property, as ~.~11 as payments for its share of the cost of i~prov~ments ~;hich ben,fit such property. Local Taxin3._Property A. The LeaEue opposes any further effort on the part of the State to levy a property tax ~hich would infrin§e upon the rights of local Sovernments to levy the samo rate of tax as levied on other property within the taxin§ ~urisdiction. B. The municipalities in Alaska must assess property at IOOZ of its fair market value for purposes o£ taxation. To assure the public of fair and equitabl~ treatment to protect the proper~y ovmer from improper assassins practic~s~ munieipaliti~s have established adoquat~ procedures for hearin§s and ~ppeal. Thc ~ea~uc, therefore, opposes any attempt to rests!ct lo~1 assessment procedures ~ithout .a thorouEh r~vic~ of the state,;lie impact those restrictions might have. State Shared. RoyS~e~.s A, The .League supports th~ concept of HB 813 introduced in the S~ond Session of tho T~nth State Le§islature v~hich distributes stats shared revenue on thc basis of local taxin~ ef£o~t with a savings claus~ fo~ a11 communities. B. The Loa~tm supports legitimate and reasonable changes in the amount of mOnoy requested for the ,unicipal services shared revenue prosramand remains adamant in th~ belie£'that each Lo§islatur~ has the obli§ation to fund the prosram IOOZ annually. Bondin~ A. The League supports le§islation passed durinE the 1977 Lo§islattve Seselonwhich permits all 8ovc~nmental units except second class cities to ~ssue unlimited tax bonds. A. The Lea~e requosts thc enactment of leEtslation to provide adequate block ~anto to assist ln th~ fete/ilea of.new municipalities. Ret iromenC A.'~he League uraes that legisl.stionwhich increases benc£its under the Public Employees Retirement System provide that the increased coat shall b~ borne by contributions from the employees, l~e T~§ue urges the if any amendments ara n~de to PERS. 2 Cultural,. Civic and Convention Centers and I~useums A. ~ile legislation has been enacted into law to enable cbc State to assist local communities in thc construction, ~aintehance and operation of cultural, civic, convention and community racr~acion centers, no funding has been available for this purpose. The l~aguc, therefore, urges tha Le§islature to authorize tbs issuance of bonds in an amount sufficient to meet the construction requirements in Alaska co~unities, B. The Lea§ur urges the Legislature to provide State assistance for the construction, maint~$nce and operation of ~use~m~ by Alaskan co~nunitios in order to preserve and display ~aterials illustrative of the history o£ the State, the co~unity and its p~opla. _Lo_c.a.k .H__o s~_it al Ose A. It is the practice of the Public llealth lervice and other health a~encies to transport patients from local communities ~ith modern hospital faciliti~s and pro£essional expertise to reaional hospitals treatment and convalescence If local eo~munity hospitals ar~ to survive and provid~ the professional scrvleo~ co~mitias require, these cases should remain in the local hospitals. ~he League, therefore, urges the State and Federal agencies responsible for health care to utilize the local health faciliti~o and to transport patients to regional canters only when tho necessary services are not available. Real ~state Transfer Information A. The Leasuo supports le§islation to enact a statute imposing a real estate trans~cr fee with an af/idavit to the Department of Coa~unity and Eegional lt£airs containing the data of transfer, lc§al description, total consideration, torms and conditions of sal~, name and mailin§ address and signature of srantee and §ranter. Role et 'tha'Pe~onent Pun~d A, The League supports legialationv~hich would mandate the investment of a percentage of th~ Permanent Fund into the development of energy resources and potable ~ter supplies. a__t_.i..-.~y.cl ical Polic~y_ A, ~hoAlaskaHunicipal League requests the executive and lo§islative branches o£ State government to d~valop a clear anti-cyclical policy to ~rovide as much aa possible _for the schedttlin§ o£ State capital proJa~ts pro~ected for municipalities during periods of lower ~olio~tc activity in the municipality and to direct other State activities ~ith co~,~ta~t~ PART Il EDUCATION School Support A. The Constitution of Alaska is very specific in its requir~ment Chat education is th~. reopan~ibtlit¥ of thc State. ~tcr~forc, the Laa~uc urges thc Legislature to fund annually 100~, of tho costs of Public 5:heel Foundation Program, student transportation (incledin§ kindergarten, hazardous bus routes and irtclemont weather), and conmnmity schools. Appropriations for these progrAm~ must reflect anntmlly tho increased costs incurred by school districts and full f~_m_ding should not bo used as a catalyst for tho State to infrin§e upon the rights of local people to ad~tnister local schools. B. Tho League recommends that tho State Legislature fund fully facilities and personnel to educate aX1 handicapped children as required by Public La~ 9&-l&2. AssembX[/Council-School Board Relationships A. Tho L~aguo supports legislation to clarify assembly/council-school board relationships and opposes legislation which would diminish asoemblylcouncil authority in education matters. Public Communications A. The LusSue encourages State and Federal governments to seek immediate and expeditious activation of satellite communication faciltilea for education .in the State, B. The Second Session of the Ninth State LosislaCu~e implemented initial funding for limited tolovisin§ of legislative sessions. Tho Lea§us no~ urges adequate funding of the program to asante that Chi 8aneral public has the greatest access possible, not only to floor sessions, but also committee hea~in§s. PART PUBLIC A. The demand for trained competent local pollco and fire departments to accelerating throughout Alaska, It ia urged that tho Legislature at an early date aBeure that police,, fire and oumrgancy medical personnel t~_~inin8 programs throughout tho State.. lmvo adequate facilities for training of local public safety people, and provide financial support to assist tho communities who participate, B. The League recc=n~nds that tho training of local public safety personnel bo accomplished on a continuing basis. Thio would eliminate the necessity of a lar$o percentage of the local forc~ .*.rom been§ absent from tho municipality at tho same tim. Tho omisCing situation is not only expensive but also dotrinmntsl to adequate public safety coverage. C. The Lea~,ue further recomntends chat procedures bc established ~.lhareby certification of public safety personnel can be granted through r~ciprocity ~;ith other states havinE certificati~ tequir~nts eq~l to or greater =hen the steward8 set forth by t~ responsible aoency(s) ~ the 5tat~ D. The League ur§es the Legislature to provide the Commissioner of Public Sa£ety with the authority to cstablish a limited c~rti£ication prosram for municipal security officers for special purposes, to include airport boarding security. ~, The League encourages the Department o£ Health and Social Services, Division oi Corrections, to fund the construction and/or operation of short term detention facilities within local communities. F. The Lea§ut supports legislation~ich would pemit municipalities to tax, assess or oppose a surchar§c on the distribution and/or sale of alcolml within its bcundaries. O. The League supports legislation authorizing mtmicipalities to establish additional standards £or the issuancc~ ~enc~al and transtcr by the State o£ liluor licenses within the Jurisdiction of the municipality. R. The League urges tho State of Alaska to establish ~o arson teams to investigate fires. PART IV LAI~ID USE The L~a§ue feels strongly that laws pertaininE to the po~ers of local planning and zonin~ must a11o~ fo~ the greatest tlexibility at tho local level. Land Selection A, *the League urges (1) immediate conveyance of Native and SCats lands presently idonti£ied and lointly agreed upon £or selection, and (2) the ~tate of Alaska move expeditiously to convey lands to municipalities, (3) The Loasue encourages a cooperative inter§ov~mmental land use planning process that cone!lets municipal, State and Federal lands affected by the land selection process. A. Th°Leaguo opposes any legislation tha~ would crea~e instant land use classi~ications severely restricting lands and reeotlrces without consideration for la~d ~se potential. An~ land use ro~o~,mt~tion ~uld, ~hencver posstble~ £ollo~ the multiple use concept, and should be based on profe~stonatly tho~oush and unbiased analysis of land use potential and compatibility of uses, gtvtn~ appropriate weight to economic, social and cmvironmental faeto~, [ [ B. The League urges that potential hydroelectric from Fedcral and State d(2) selections by providin~ headmaster sites for dam sites, corridors [or water and electric transmission lines, pow;er houses, associated substations and all attendant facilities. ~xe Leacue further supports the preservation non-state land selection and classification for the purpose of providin for future construction o£ public accesses of various types. A. In order to help municipalities to retain as much as possible of Alaska's colorful and historic past, the Lea§us supports establishment of a .matching grant program and funding for acquisition, maintenance and rehabilitation of mou~ents and historic sites. CoastalJ~__nalement A. The LeaEue supports continued and maximum local participation in the development and management of the coastal policies, coastal planning and i~plementation of coastal polio!es. Subdivisions A. Subdivision oF land is a major factor in community development creating pRternswhichhavc long lastin$.ef£eets. Altl~ush present legislation clearly roco~nizas the ne~d for subdivision, moans of enforcement are inadequate. ~hcLeaguo supports l~§islation~hiehwould require proof o£ approval by local a~thoritios prior to thc Filing of an instrument affect/rig thtiboundaries of land. PART V TR~SPORTATIO~, DOCKS AND PORTS Surface and A. With tho increasing development of natural resources in Alaska, the Lea§ut supports legislation which would expand the Alaska Narino High- way Co Wosto~ Alaska and improve tranapor~ation to. Southeast Alaska linking it to Western Alaska, and expand the marine high~ay system to Lover Cook Inlet communities. B. Since Alaska economically depends heavily upon ocean and inlet water shippin~, fishin§ and other marine travel, the League supports tho State% Port and Harbor C~ant Programs and urges further expansion of those pro,rams, l~Jor port and harbor £a~ility plans should bo prepared and developed consonant ~ith thc municipalities~ plan. C. Thc L0a§ue supports effo~ts ~o provide o£ticicncies in the operation oF tho AlaskaN aries Bt§h~ay System providin$ these etficioncics are .based on publicly available economic data. However, the League strongly objects to any'ieduction in marine hi§hvay systems to Alaska po=ts, and stron$1y ~r~c8' community input be requested prior to ostablishin§ma~tne highway ratcs~ schedules and operational than§es. 6 D. With tbs increasing di££iculty of acq~iring public right-eft;ay and o~merships, the Lea~u~ supports the acquisition cf adequate corridors /or cons~ruc£ion for public access £hrouah such land~. E.

PART VI MUNICIPAL UTILITIES State R~_ItU.1. ~tJo.~n A. Alaska is undoubtedly uniqu~ amens the fl£ty states in its pro- ponderance of municipally-owned utilities. Ho~over, most o£ these utilities ate currently over-burdened because of unprecedented fire. th of recent years. The l~Sue supports expeditious ~undin§ ~lich ~ould make available to tho various municipal utilities in the State 'of Alaska lo~ interest loans in order that they may immediately be brought into adequate s~vico for tho people B..Dos~ite the demonstrated ability of municipalities to operate their o~n utilities in the best interest si consumer public, ef£orts sro constantly beins nmde tO subject municipally o~ned and operated utilities to regulation by tho AlaskaPubltc Utilities Conmtisstan. This is ,a costly and unnecessary in£ringement on local §ovuznmunt po~ors and tho ~eazue opposes any lesislation~hich ~ouldinfliet this tmd;m re~ul.at]~n by the State on nunicipally o~nod end operated utilities. C. The League supports leEislation which ~ould nllo~ r:unicipally utilities to include construction work in progress in the ucilitiu~ rate base. ~cquisit!on A. One of the alleged bcmefits to accrue from the enactment of the Alaska Public UtilityConunisolon Act was au amicable solution to the service area conflicts bet~.~een competing utilities. To further this commendable objective, The Len§ue, therefore, supports legislation~hich would allo~muntctpalicies operetta§ utilities co acquire the facilities of a compettnff utility under specific terms vhich~.~ould fairly compensate the competint utility. A. The Lea§us endorses an amendment to Federal Lm~ to exclude ~micipalities adjacent to tidal fluctuations £romthe requirements of socond~rry treatment where the receivin§ ~-mters do not merit secondary treatment for se~a§e ef£Xuent disposal into ocean~laters. B. The League also endorses the concept of the State of Alaska*s paying up to 751 for ~c~age and water systems constructed by municipalities under the State o~Alaska Construction Crant Pro,ram. C. The Loague endorses an amendment to Pederal Lm~htch ~ould allo~ the operatiorml cost of se~ago treatment facilities to receive general fund support from the SCats of Alask~ ~! its municipalities, and to eliminate reference to a sowr use charse. Solid,sate A. The League supports legislation which would authorize up to 75Z of the costs of capital improvements for construction of solid waste disposal facilitiesbymunicipalitiss under tho State of Alaska Construction Grant Pro§ram. PART VXX HUNXCXPAL ELECTXONS ~ _~j_o_rity Elections A. The Leasuo supports Xesislationwhich would amend 29.28.040 co allo~; municipal/ties to determine, by local option, what porcenta§o o£ votes cast is nocos~ry /or election to municipal office. Poll Hours A. Experience he8 proven th~t extension sE pollin§ hours tms not increased voter turnout and hns been costly. The League, therefore, opposo~ legislation which would extend tho hours beyond tho present 8,00 am to 8:00 pm. R_flgistration A. The League opposes legislation which would eliminate et erode the State of l~aska registration system. B. The League supports legislationwhich would expand tile State voter registration la~s (AS 15.07.030) to include as part of voter history for registration and purging puzp0sop, voting in a regular municipal election. Administration A. The League supports logislation which consolidates all functions pertaining to election, conflict of interest, compaign disclosure reporting and qualifications for candidates into one agency. Disclosure Restrictions A. Although the League opposes compnign and financial disclosure r, strictions imposed upon local governments, it recognizes tho improbability si complete repeal o£ these statutes. The League, however, urges the Legislature to review and revise the la~s making tho reporting requirement less onerous tlmtt presently in effect. Tho League specifically s,ppo~ts legislation ~hichwould ~xempt from campaign disclosure defined in ¥oter Qualification A. The League supports leEinlation~hich would require a person to be registered to vote in state el~etions in the municipality in vhich he secl~ to vote. .qunl~f~c~$!pns. for glOCt~Ve Office A. Tho League supports legislation that would include provisions in Title 29 for municipalities to set quali~ications for all elected municipal official; and to delete that section in Title Ii relating to school board member qualifications. B. The League supports legislation that vould nnend Title 29 to include ro£erence to the requirements of A8 1~.13, and AS 39,50 pertaining to qualifications o~ candidates. PART VXXX LOCAL C, OVERN14ENT POI.~EIIS Local Autonomy A. B~cause certain restrictions currently exist in tho Alaska Statutes wht.eh impede effective independent local. Ruwtumont, the Leng,~ supports legislation timt ~¢ould promote ~wre ef£ective and independent locaX government in all orgnnized boroughs and cities, and opposes any legislation which restricts local §overnment powers. po~ers and operations. C. Tho icarus supports the continued exc~ption of municipal officials and employees from th~ lobbyLu§ reporting requir~ments under AS 26.25. Public ~nployec L~bor Relations A.

As a result of this cc~ltuct tim.. data frc~ the recent traffic flc~: survey in the Kenat area was obtained. Preltmt~ analysis of th~ data in relation- ship to that obtained in 1977 has taken place. This is being correlated with frequency of accident eccu~.~ for enforcen~.mt porposes. The data for 1978 was collected by use of umanned oounters durin~ the month of August. ~ata frc~ 1977 was collected during the aonth of October, In addition the counter's ~ro not, w/th three e~ptions, p!ac~{ in ~ s~ locations. This has made coml~arattvu analysts extremely difficult. The Willow Street intersection, while nuchanically counted, mi; re~ive ~ fl~ dhcjr~ in 1978 {:}~ {~ d~ h 1977. A personal oontac~ was sought and obtained with ~tr. Jim Fxtwards the Regional Traffic ~afety Engineer on 9-26-78. At this t~ Mr. Fxlwaxds advised, that in spito of problems involved /n making a c~ative analysis,' that he agreed that traffic flow in the area was increasing at a significant rate. This is particularily true of the Kenai Sf~r and the Kenai River ~'ossing z~ad between the Spur and }'~lifonsky Beach. While the cou~t data for Willow Street was lowor t~ 1978 than 1977, this ~an be attrlb~ to the construction on Willow d~rtng the ttire o£ the (x)unt and possibly to motorist fr~stration with the intersection resulting in alternate routing of travel to the area. This is substantiated in that the 1978 (~lnt for t~affi= sotlth of the b~ onto Fain' Street was signiftoantl¥ higher than in 1977. Mr. Fxlwan~ advis~t that the State is st/ll proem9 with planning for rec~stgn and widening of Willow Street a~t tho Willow Stre~ and I(~nai ~ interm~-~don, l~e stated that Public hearings would b~ held on t~is matter tn the Kenai aroa durin~ the-wtn~e_~ months, with adaauate not/ce once a date is ~t. Mr. Edwards advio~d that intt~ia! plannin.~, as a result of our ~qUest, did include installation of conduit for future installation of traffic control lights. Mr. Edwards concurred that contintmd significant traffic growth impact would result /n their installation in the next two to three years. This wo~ld alleviate the Willow Street intersection problem, as ~11 as to provide traffic flow gapping that would somewhat alleviate otJmr sid~ street to Kenai Spur accesses in the downtown area. °fl~ JnteraocLJo~ of tile I~,w River cro~:t, ing ts ~vi~ higher traffic vol~e ~,n was ~ticJI~:~t~ by ~e S~te.

Wise: / / Re~ Grant #069510 Xt was a privilese to meet you personally on September 20, 1978, and discuss mutual concerns of the elderly in your ares. Our discussion alonff ~lth the cements from Ns. Patrtcia Porter, Project Director £or Title IIX, indicates services to the elderly extend considerably beyond the city limits of Kenalo A review of the program activities verify this observation. X personally noticed services provided to senior citizens in the Soldotna area which X'm sure must be in another city complex or borough. The Brant application indicates no local financial contributions from any sources other than the City of Kenai, volunteers and limited per- sonal contributions. Therefore, it is suggested other areas being served be invited to participate in the financial support of the pre- sent and future elderly pro~r~_._s since so~e living in those areas also benefit fro~the elderly programs currently financed through city support. However such financial assistance forthco~ttnS would be a local matter of processing but every added financial assistance could result in more services to the elderly in the ~;hole area. Progress is being made and additional local support would help this proposal be- co~e an even greater reality. If you have any questions or if ye can be o£ additional assistance, please lethe kno~.

CITY MANAGER'S REPORT October 13, 1978 1 Hearing. on Ordinance 431 - Beach Ordinance This was tabled at the last meeting following an amendment offerred by Councilman Aber. We have rewritten the Ordinance by reparagraphing and rephrasing some of the language. It needs to be introduced as an amended Ordinance, a hearing held, and then an adoption. 2 Hearing on Ordinance 438 appropriating, funds to cover the insurance authorized for the constructed water storage tank. 3 Hearing on Ordinance 439 appropriating Ordinance for runway improvements. 4 Hearing on Ordinance 440 amends the personnel ordinance providing for correcti0naf personnel. 5 Hearing on Ordinance 442 appropriates funds for operation of the ~aii in re~erence t0 the jail contract'. ' PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD 6 Dr Woolsey of the Kenai Peninsula Community Colleqe will speak on current enrollment. 7 Bob Roper will discuss the scope of. operations planned for the boat ramp area. Part of this is currently underway and part of it he hopes to obtain a lease on. 8 Harry Vavra of Union Oil will present the metes and bounds of the proposed drill site for their gas drilling operation. At this time the Council should perhaps set a public hearing on the drilling site and direct that all property owners within 300 feet be notified of this proposed activity. 9 Letter from the Fine Arts Council concerning activities they would like to conduct in that Center. OLD BUSINESS 10 Change Order Number Two on the water storage tank related to the REA line. From the information we have, Mr Galliet is forced tO recommend approval on this. He cannot challenge the cost data. NEW BUSINESS 11 Ordinance 443 ~or introduction is for the appropr.iat.i.o.n' Of general fund~"cA~i'tal, im~rovements,'.reserve in 'th~ amount of $400~/000.and ~he appropriation of'~100,000 from the water and sewer capital improvement reserve fund. Such funds are appropriated for the City's share of the construction of the sewage treatment plant and appurtenances. I will point out that we are only asking for the appropriation of one half million dollars this time since the actual fund balances of the two accounts will not, ~t this time, permit the other $100,000 to be appropriated. You will also note that on the funds lent by the ge.~eral fund into the water and sewer utility~ there is a requirement that~ once CITY MANAGER'S REPORT October 13, 1978 - page. 11 CONTINUED these funds are drawn on, there will be interest due the 9eneral fund for use of its monies. 12 Ordinance 444 appropriates anti-recessionary monies. The monies here provide for Some eqUipment for the sewe~ t~ea~men~ plant composite sampler, and some oxygen equipment. It also provides for some grade rings for adjustment of manhole covers, the printed codification of the City Code, and some additional book money for the attorney. There is also a provision for lease money to lease the additional space required for the Revenue Department on relocation of it due to the jail facility, and also provides money to lease the hanger south of the CAP area for warm storage. You will note that the last item on the agenda under new business is discussion of the lease of the hanger for warm storage. We are proposing at this time to allocate funds for that lease. 13 Resolution 169 is one directed by the Council in ~upport of Polar's applkcation for certification as a commuter airlines to Kenai'. 14 Resolution 170 approves the CH2M Hill facilities plan for the City of Kenai. 15 Resolution 171 transfers funds within the streets accounts to properly plac~ the bluff fencing project, that, as you know has already been torn down in ~he proper account. 16 Resolution 172 is a proposal to award gravel contracts. We have two vendors that have made i~entical proposal'. The amount requested is 1200 cubic yards for which each quote five dollars per cubic yard. Therefore, the actual award portion of this Resolution is blank at this time o 17 Resolution 173 approves a contract with CR2M Hill for the engineering of the ADAP runway project. 18 Resolution 174 acknowledges receipt of engineering proposals and selects Wince, Corthell, Bryson and Freas to do the engineering On Airport Way and Willow Street Road for the sewer line. This proposal is with a not-to-exceed figure. The Resolution accepts the proposal, but requires the contract be signed before notice to proceed is issued. 19 Resolution 175 also relates to water and sewer en~ineerin~ ~electing Ted Forsi and Associates to do the other engineering p~0jec~-. Similar to Resolution 174, this one indicates Forsi to do the work, but requires signatures on the contract before notice to proceed. 20 Lease to Carr-Gottstein for the site of the Prairie Market store adjacent to D&A. 21 Payment request by Brown Construction that has been approved by the engineer and the Administra%'i°n and is in order. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT 9ctobor 13f 1978 - page 3 22 Payment request by Architect Carmen Gintol].. I will point out that we.are now delaying the bid~ on the %'ermi~ul winterization with the concurrence of EDA since we have been advised that the (lost of the project now due to weather conditions be substantially over the cost if we were to proceed with it in the spring. We will go for bid the first of the year with construction date~ in late spriDg or early summer. Presumably we will then receive better costs. 23 Payment,,,request from Rockford Corporation for the change order number tWo that we have earlier on the agenda'.' It is not in your packet, but it should be received and available for you Wednesday. 24 Requests discussion of the han~er lease for warm storage. This is wkth PeninsUla Enterprises requested bF C0unci'lman Ambaklan. You will note that we have provided An the anti-recessionary funds appropziation Ordinance the funds to lease the hanger for a six month's period. It is our intent to have the lease effective the first of November for this period which will give us, of course, through the winter. The reason we are not going beyond that is not only the cost of leasing the hanger, but that entire tract needs to analyzed in relation to the Airport Master Plan and certainly replatted so that we can put it on the market in an appropriate manner. 25 I have been informed by the City Clerk that Gary Eitel ACI has asked to be added under persons scheduled to be heard. According to the Clerk, they are asking for a change An their lease. I do no~ have any details. CITY OFKENA! "od ¥ P, O. ~X $80 KENAI, AtASgA 99611 TELEPHONE 283 . 7538 October 13, 1978 MEMO TO: FROM: SUBJECT: John Wise, City Manager Keith Kornelis, Public Works Director What's llappening Report for City Council Meeting on October 18, 1978. 1977 STREET IMPROVEMENTS - FORREST DRIVE, KAKNU WAY, WALKER LANE, LUPINE DRIVE, AIRPORT LOOP, LILAC STREET The City of genai, Wince Corthell, McLane Surveying, Mark Raymond, who was the inspector for PMA during the construction period, and Brown Construction Company have been working on the final quantities for these projects. This last week we have had a series of rather lengthy meetings in an effort to narrow down the differences in the opinions concerning pay estimates on these projects. Brown Construction Company has submitted a pay estimate for this up.. coming Council Meeting. I noticed on the pay estimate that he has reduced the retainage to zero percent. Some thought should be given to the consequences of paying a'lO0 percent prior to some type of agreement concerning claims, liabilities and final pay quantities. It is ny understanding from Mr. Brown that he plans on subnitting some additional costs related to the project that he feels the City should pay. At this point there are still quite a few questions left unresolved. Final quantities have been arrived at, but they have not been accepted by all parties. MIl, LION GALLON WATER STORAGE TANK I have received verbal approval on Change Orders #3 and #4 from EOA and DEC. Unfortunately, DEC has included in their approval a request for a building enclosure around the generator. I have explained that the proposed generator is housed in a all-weather housing, but they have expressed their concern for operators' safety and convenience in maintenance and operation of this generator. Change Order #2 that concerns the relocation of a ltomer Electric powerltne has been submitted for Council approval. Mr. Calliet and Rockford Corporation have now both asked for approval. Rockford Corporation has been notified of tho approval of tile Change Orders Just prior to the arrival of the letter that is enclosed in your packet behind Change Order #2. It is unfortunate that it took so long for these approvals, but DEC has required that they review the Change Orders in writing prior to their approval. Memo to John Wise Page 2 October 13, 1978 i PULBIC WORKS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PRIORITY LIST In my last three reports, I have included a priority list which I felt was necessary to provide adequate service to the citizens of the City of Kenai. Friday at 2:00 p.m., we arc opening bid proposals for a new motor grader. This I feel is very badly needed by the City of Kenai. As mentioned earlier in my reports, the City still is in need of a lube rack and grease dispensing reels with a lean-to on our present shop building. Another large motor grader, a new warm storage building for storing our equipment, renovation of the gas and diesel pumps at our shop, an addition to our animal shelter, and a portable generator that can be used for operations for our water system at both .well houses are also needed. ANTI-RECESSIONARY MONEY Unfortunately, the Public Works Department was not made aware that there was additional Anti-Recessionary Money available until the staff meeting on October 11, 1978. A list of Anti-Recessionary Expenditures for the Public Works Department was submitted to you some two or three hours after this meeting. There are many items that the City of Kenai at this time rents from rental agencies at additional cost to the City. The use of this Anti-Recessionary Money could be used to purchase these items,and hopefully,they could pay for themselves. WINTERIZATION OF THE WARM STORAGE BUILDING The bid date of October 12, 1978 for the Winterization of the Warm Storage Building came and went without any bid proposals. There are six plan holders but no bidders. We have set a new bid date of October 25, 1978 at 2:00 p.m. We are at this time making inquiries as to why no one bid on the project. So far the only reasons that we have come up with are that the project is so small and that the project consists mainly of specialized construction. Whereas the requirement calls for a general contractor, this problem could be corrected with some coordination with general contractors and specialty contractors. Because this work is inside the Warm Storage Building, it can be done during the winter months. GRAVEL BID There were two bids received on October 11, 1978 for furnishing the City of Kenai with gravel. Both bids came in a $5 per cubic yard. Memo to John Wise Page S October 13, 1978 $150,000 CEIP ENGINEERING FOR WATER ANI) SEWER There were five proposals submitted to the City of Kenai for this work. These proposals came from USKH, Wince Corthell, Ted Forsi, Ctt2M Hill, and Bomhoff. All of the proposals that were submitted were taken and made availabl~ ~ the Subcommittee on Public Works on October 12, 1978. It is my understanding that this Subcommittee will have a recommendation to Council at this upcoming meeting. Our water and sewer crew has been working on the Well Houses and the various abandoned wells throughout the City in an effort to get them ready for winter. They have repaired the sewer line in Woodland; they have changed some of the meters around town that are not operable; they have installed water in our warm storage building so that it will be available after the concrete floor has been poured in this upcoming contract. They have also been working on the operation and maintenance of our lift stations and other various equipment. The street crew has been working on hauling away the junk cars that the Fire Department used for their drill. They have been working on the transformer cans on the airport; they have completed some drainage and culvert work on Primrose in Thompson Park; they have also been working on winterization and storage arrangements for'our street equipment. They have been blading streets with our one and only grader. They have installed an extra piece of culvert In the driveway that you requested. They have sawed around potholes and pavements around town and completed patchwork pavement. They have repaired the merry-go-round at the Public Health Office. They have swept and cleaned intersections around town. The shop crew has been working on winterization of the Police Cars, repairing defrosters on the Police Cars, repairing oil pans on the Senior Citizen's Van, working on the MAC Fire Truck. They have replaced the break pads on the Dog Catcher's pickup. They have studded the new tires in an effort to get ready for winter. They have made temporary repairs on the Turret on the Fire Truck. They have replaced pinion seal and U-joints on the Police Car and are they have continued on the maintenance and repair of our City Equipment. I have been told by Equipment Services, Ltd. that they will rent a $01 Auten Western Motor Grader for $4,500 a month with 90 percent of the rental to apply toward the purchase price or that with a 6 month guarantee we will rent this grader for $3,500 a month with a purchase at the end of the 6-month period of $51,050. If the City of Kenai experiences a heavy snow load this winter, we may be looking for lease equipment and this should be kept in mind. Memo to John Wise Page 4 October 13, 1978 Unfortunately, during a heavy snow season many of these lease equipment motor graders will be leased o.t ,~lre~dy. When I talked to Mike Gill with EDA in Seattle concerning the Change Orders on the Tank, he mentioned something that should be brought out and emphasized, tie stated that on December 29, 1978 EDA would be calling back all excess money from their projects. AIRPORT TERMINAL ARCTIC DOORS After much discussion with the architect, Mr. Carmen Gintoli, with EDA representative, Arnold Myren, and with various local contractors it was decided that it would be to the City's benefit to postpone the bid date until March 8, 1979. Because of the lateness of the season, it is felt that we will get considerably better prices at that time. Attached are the schematics for the addition to the City Shop and Animal Control Shelter. ; ! V- I 1 C Hutchings Chevrolet, Inc. P.O. BOX 950 SOLDOTNA, ALASKA 99669 907 262-5891 October 16, 1978 City Council City of Kenai P. O. Box 580 Kenai, Alaska 99611 RE: 1979 Police Car Bids It has been brought to my attention that the City of Kenai has awarded bids on the 1979 police cars toT he Car Company. The Car Company won the bids because a bid was submitted by ltterarily pulling a price out of the sky - as no franchised dealers had received their pricing on police cars at the time of the bid opening. The City Manager, Mr. Wise, was well aware the 1979 police car pricing was not available as he had been contacted by my office a number of times concerning the 1979 police car bide and in fact, Mr. Wise, was aeked to consider a new bid opening date - but Mr. Wise did not feel that a new date would be acceptable. Rather than present the City Council of Kenai with a bid that was not competative and which would have been a grossly over priced unit - I sent my bid sheets to the City Manager with the statement that no 1979 police car pricing was available in hopes that the City Council would reject all bids and set a new bid opening date. Unfortunately the City Council was not cognizant of the statement on my bid sheets and the bids Erom The Car Company were ac- cepted. After the bids had been opened but before the bids were awarded I re- ceived my pricing on 1979 police vehicles - at this time I once again contacted Mr. Wise and infomed him of the receipt of the 1979 police car pricing - he then informed me that the bids were to be awarded to The Car Company. I consequently requested the dollar amount se that I could compare the figures to the prices that I had received and realized an unsettlin§ fact - The Car Company was making a net profit of approxi- mately $900.00 per vehicle which totals a tidy sum of $2700.00 prolit on three police vehicles. This is money that you as taxpayers have let your City Manager squander because he did not feel saving tax money should be any inducement for rescheduling bid dates albeit you were not aware of the many conversations that I had with Nr. Wise. It is my sincere hope that the City Council is able to benefit from this experience and gaim a closer working relationship with the City Hutchings Chevrolet, Inc. P. O. BOX 950 SOLDOTNA, ALASKA 99669 907 262-5891 Hanager as I am sure that the City Council feels very stron§ly about spending ~2700.00 of the taxpayers money needlessly.

Wise / City ~age~ P,O= ~x 580 DeM' Mt** ~isez Your Board of Directors has approved an assessment equal to 17 percent of the annual dues of each direct member city over the next 15 years for the purpose of ~urchasing a hea~&~Mrters building for the National League of Cities. · The decision to purchase a building was made after the conclusion of an inten- give analysis of (1) current and anticipated future NLC space requirements, (2) the ~m~act of inflation on the cost of office space in downtown Washington, an~ (3) the availability of desirable locations and the growth trends ~n the Genttal core of the City. A number of significant benefits will accrue to NLC through the acquisition of suoh a headquarters building, which will be called the National Municipal Center an~ w~ll he located at 13th Street and Pennsylvania' Avenue. These b~--n-ef£ts include: --Znorease ability to control office space costs. ---Permit development of an equity ~osition that will reduce, or el/minate, oash flow fluctuations and thereby facilitate financial management. --Assure that adequate office space is continuously and readily available at the lowest ~ossible cost. --Provide practical evidence of organ/zational comitment to, and interest in, urban conservation and the maintenance of viable core business dis- triers in the nation,s cities. --Enhance the image and /m~ortance of cities as key elements of the federal s~stem in an urbanized Amerioa. The 17 percent building fund assessment will become effective January l, 1979, an~ will be in effect for 15 years as indicated above. The attached table in, cares the annual dues payment for cities in each of the various ~o~ulatton oategories base~ u~on the current dues schadule. However, the various member cities have ~fferent fiscal constraints under which they m~st operate, an~ some cities may wish to pay off their building fund obligation in less than 15 years. Therefore, we have provided four plans for suoh payment. / / J '3 -2- PLAN A - 15 equal annual payments each equal to 17 percent of the membership dues. F~ve equal annual payments during the next five years, each payment equal to one-fifth of the total obligation less 10 percent. PLAN C - Three equal annual payments during the next three years, each payment equal to one-third of the total obligation less 15 ~sroento PLAN D - One payment during the next year equal to the total obligation less 20percent. Again, the NLC Board of Directors has given this matter very serious consideration over the last year and the Board has concluded that both the short- and long-term interests of the National League of Cities are best served by pursuing this course of action. If you have any questions, Alan Beals wall be extremely pleased to provide you with additional information. $~ncerely, Tom Moody, President ~ayoa- oZ Columbus Enolosure Mayor J.

TO: MUNICIPAL OFFICIALS YOU are being asked to assist your colleagues, the League Board of Directors, and tho League staff in assessing the value of various League services. It is essential for a membership organization such as the League to review periodi- cally its overall goals and programs to ensure they are compatible with current membership needs and expectations. Enclosed is a questionnaire which covers several aspects of the League services. Your response is needed to give guidance in developing League service priorities. It is essential that the judgements and the recommendations ~e mak~ accurately reflect the desires and needs of our members. That is why we are undertaking a major effort to get input from our members. We believe every question merits your thoughtful consideration and we ask that you make every effort to respond completely. Responses will be analyzed to determine whether different size cities and boroughs, different geographical groups, or different groups of elected and appointed municipal officials have significantly different opinions about League services and dues. Blanks and incomplete responses will not give us the direction we need. In summary, this is an ambitious project. It is the first time that a comprehensive survey of League member's opinions has been undertaken. Wo recognize that we are asking for a considerable effort on your part. However, we believe that decisions involving the future of the League warrant your total input. Comglete and Return by November 1, 1978 A. GENERAL INFOP~TION 1.

ALASKA MUNICIPAL LEAGUE POLICY STATEMENT Draft for 1979 Prepared by the Legislative Committee July 20 and 21, 1978 - Fairbanks, Alaska POLICY STATEME~NT PART ! TAXATION AND FINANCE State Collected~ Local,~¥ Shared, Taxes A. Municipalities in Alaska presently derive significant revenues from state-collected, locally shared taxes to help meet their basic operating expenses. Any curtailment of such revenues would have a serious adverse effect upon the operation of municipal governments, resuluing in either a marked increase of local property taxes or a reduction in the level of services offered to the public. Gte League, therefore, opposes reduction of such revenues through the eltmin~tion of such taxes unless other equal sources of revenue are made available to local government, or appropriations to compensate for lost revenues are made by the State. B. The exploration, development and industrial utilization cf renewable and non-renewable resources, both inside and outside municipal boundaries, creates a substantial and immediate impact on the need for municipal facilities and services which exceed the financial ability of moat municipalities to meet in the short period o{ time available to have such facilities and services operational. The League urges adoption of legislation which would provide financial assistance to municipalities which are proposed for such impacts. C. The League continues to urge adequate funding of the Abandoned tiotor Vehicle Fund with special emphasis paid to the cost incurred in handling abandoned vehicles which have no value. D. The League supports legislation which would enable municipalities to levy, by local option, a tax on the same tax source as are authorized for levy under the Alaska Income Tax Act, without restricting municipalities' rights to levy taxes on other sources. The League further recommends that the municipal income tax be collected and administered by the State and refunded to the Jurisdiction levying the tax. Localll~Collected Taxes A. Sources of local revenue for municipalities in Alaska are limited to a very extensive degree, to the income derived from local property and sales taxes. Therefore, the League opposes the imposition of state- mandated exemptions of certain classes of property, individuals, organizations or commodities from the applications of such taxes unless adequate compensation is made by the State to reimburse local government for revenues lost due to these exemptions. B. Several laws have been enacted in the past few years which have mandated exemptions, partial exemptions and deferrals from local property taxes or assessments. In most cases provisions have been included which cause the State to reimburse municipalities for lost revenue. The Lea§ue urges the Legislature to include in all such reimbursement legislation the provisions that this reimbursement is a lien in favor of the State against the property exempted, except that this lien provision will not apply to exemptions granted under AS 29.53.020(e). a ~ 1t ~vices human resource standpoint. ~e Laaguo~ tharaforo~ endorses tho posit~on whereby the State would pay to the local governments a pa~ent in lieu of ad valorem taxes for the State o~ed property, ms w~ll as pa)~entm for its share of tho cost of improvements which benefit such property. Local Taxin$ Property A. The League opposes any further effort on the part of the State to levy a property tax which would infringe upon the rights of local governments to levy the same rate of tax as levied on other property within the taxing Jurisdiction. B. The mtmicipalities in Alaska must assess property at 100% of its fair market value for purposes of taxation. To assure the public of fair and equitable treatment to protect the property owner from improper assessing practices, municipalities have established adequate procedures for hearings and appeal. The League, therefore, opposes any attempt to restrict local assessment procedures without a thorough review of the statewide impact those restrictions might have. State Shared Revenues A. The League supports the concept of HB 843 introduced in the Second Session of the Tenth State Legislature which distributes state shared revenue on the basis of local taxing effort with a savings clausu for all communities. B. The League supports legitimate and reasonable changes in the amount of money requested for the municipal services shared revenue program and remains adamant in the belief that each Legislature has the obligation fo fund the program 100% annually. Bond!n~ A. The League supports legislation passed during the 1977 Legislative Session which permits all governmental units except second class cities to issue unlimited tax bonds. Fundin~_~hg..N~lY Organized }~giq~palities A. The League requests the enactment of legislation to provide adequate block grants to assist in the formation of new municipalities. Public Emp_l_pj9e Retirement A.'The League urges that legislation which increases benefits under the Public Employees Retirement System provide that the increased cost shall bc borne by contributions from the employees. The T~gue urges the Legislature to re'coKnize the effect un participating tmm~pml, o.,pl(,yurs if any amendments are made to PE1LS. 2 Cultural, Civic and Convention Centers and Museums A. ~]ilo legislation has been onact~,d into law to enable the State to assist local co~unities in the construction, mainte:,anca and operation of cultural, civic, convention and community recreation centers, no f~ding has been available for this purpose. The League, therefore, urges tho Legislature to authorize the issuance of bonds in an amount sufficient to meet the construction requirements in Alaska communities. B. The League urges the Legislature to provide State assistance for the construction, maintenance and operation of museums by Alaskan communities in order to preserve and display materials illustrative of the history of the State, the community and its people. Lo__9.a_l_ _.H.?.Sj~_i t a 1 Use A. It is the practice of the Public Health Service and other health agencies to transport patients from local communities with modem hospital facilities and professional expertise to regional hospitals for treatment and convalescence If local community hospitals are to survive and provid~ the professional scrvl~ comm, mtties require, these cases should remain in tho local hospitals. The League, therefore, urges the State and Federal agencies responsible for health care to utilize the local health facilities and to transport patients to regional centers only when the n~cessary services are not available. Real Estate Transfer Information A, The League supports legislation to enact a statute imposing a real estate transfer fee with an affidavit to the Department of Community and Regional Affairs containing the date of transfer, legal description, total consideration, terms and conditions of sale, name and mailing address and signature of grantee and grantor. Role of thc Permanont Fund A. The League supports legislation which would mandate the investment of a percentage of the Permanent Fund into the development of energy resources and potable water supplies. A. The Alaska Municipal League requests the executive and legislative branches of State government to develop a clear anti-cyclical policy to provide as much as possible for the scheduling of State capital projects projected for ~ranicipalities during periods of lower e~o~omtc activity in the municipality and to direct other State activities with of municipalities whose ec(,,u,mt,,m are ,h.p~,n~..,,t fr.m n~,LI.nl PART II EDUCATION School Support A. Tho Constitution of Alaska is very specific in its requirement that education is the responsibility of the State. Thorofore~ the League urges tho Legislature to fund annually 100% of tile costs of Public School Poundation Program, student transportation (including kindergarten, hazardous bus routes and inclement weather), and community schools. Appropriations for these programs must reflect annually the increased costs incurred by school districts and full funding should not be used as a catalyst for the State to infringe upon the rights of local people to administer local schools. B. The League recommends that the State Legislature fund fully facilities and personnel to educate all handicapped children as required by Public Law 94-142. Assembly/Council-School Board Relationship! A. Tho Imaguo supports legislation to clarify assembly/council-school board relationships and opposes legislation which would diminish assembly/council authority in education matters. Public Communications A. The League encourages State and Federal governments to seek immediate and expeditious activation of satellite communication faciltiies for education in the State. B. The Second Session of the Ninth State Legislature implemented initial funding for limited televising of legislative sessions. The League now urges adequate funding of the program to assure that the general public has the greatest access possible, not only to floor sessions, but also co,,-t~tee hearings. PART III PUBLIC SAFETY A. The demand for trained competent local police and fire departments is accelerating throughout Alaska. It is urged that the Legislature at an early date assure that police,, fire and emergency medical personnel trainiu§ program~ throughout the State have adequate facilities for training of local public safety people, and provide financial support to assist the communities who participate. B. The League reco.m~_-nds that the training of local public safety personnel be accomplished on a continuing basis. This would eliminate the necessity of a largo percentage of the local force from being absent from thc municipality at the same time. The existing situation is not only expensive but also detrimental to adequate public safety coverage. C. The League further recommends that procedures be established whereby certification of public safety personnel can be granted through rnetprne~ty with other states having certification requirements equal to or greater than the standards set forth by tho responsible agency(a) in the State of Alaska. D. ~]e League urges the Legislature to provide the Commissioner of Public Safety with the authority to establish a limited certification program for municipal security officers for special purposes, to include airport boarding security. E. The League encourages the Department of Health and Social Services, Division of Corrections, to fund the construction and/or operation of short term detention facilities within local communities. F. The League supports legislation which would permit municipalities to tax, assess or oppose a surcharge on the distribution and/or sale of alcohol within its boundaries. G. The League supports legislation authorizing municipalities to establish additional standards for the issuance, renewal and transfer by the State of liquor licenses within the jurisdiction of the municipality. H. The League urges the State of Alaska to establish two arson teams to investigate fires. PART IV Lf~D USE Local Options A. The League feels strongly that laws pertaining to the powers of local planning and zoning must allow for the greatest flexibility at the local level. Land Selection A. The League urges (1) immediate conveyance of Native and State lands presently identified and Jointly agreed upon for selection, and (2) the State of Alaska move expeditiously to convey lands to municipalities. (3) The League encourages a cooperative intergovernmental land use planning process that considers municipal, State and Federal lands affected by the land selection process. A. The League opposes any legtmlat~ou that would create instant land use classifications severely restricting Jands and resources without consideration for lahd use potential. Any land use ro~o,~,n~,tton should, whenever possible, follow the multiple use concept, and should be based on profess]onally thorough and unbiased analysis of land use potential and compatibility of uses, giving appropriate weight to economic, social and envtrou,~ntal factors. B. ~le L~ague urges that potential hydroelectric projects bo eliminated from Federal and STate d(2) selections by providing headwater rights, sites for dam sites, corridors for water and electric transmission lines, power houses, associated substations and all attendm~t facilities. The League further supports the preservation of right-of-ways from ail non-state laud selection and classification for the purpose of providing for futura construction of public accesses of various types. Historic Sites A. In order to help municipalities to retain as much as possible of ~aska's colorful and historic past, the League supports establishm~nt of a matching grant program and funding for acquisition, ~mintenance and rehabilitation of momt~nents and historic sites. ~Co~_s_tal_.~a_nagqment A. ~e League supports continued and maximum local participation in the development and management of the coastal policies, coastal planning and implementation of coastal policies. Subdivisions A. Subdivision of land is a major factor in community developnmnt creating patterns whichhave long lasting effects. Although present legislation clearly recognizes ~he need for subdivision, moans of enforcement arc inadequate. The League supports legislation which would require proof of approval by local authorities prior to the filing of an instrument affecting th~ boundaries of land. P~%T V TRANSPORTATIOII, DOCKS f~H) PORTS Surface and l_ia~!~_bi~hways A. With the incruasing development of natural resources in Alaska, tho League supports lugislation which would expand the Alaska Marine Hi,h- way to Western Alaska and improve transportation to Southeast Alaska linking it to Western ~laska, and expand the marine highway system to Lower Cook Inlet communities. B. Since Alaalm economically depends heavily upon ocean and inlet water shipping, fishing and other marine travel, the League supports the State's Port and Harbor Grant Programs and urges further expansion of those programs, l. Mlor port and harbor facility plans should be prepared and developed consonant with the municipalities' plan. C. The League supports efforts to provide efficiencies in the operation of the Alaska }Mrinu llig~ay System providing th~se efficienci~s are based on publicly available economic data. floweret, the L~ague strongly objects to any reduction in marine highway systems to Alaska ports, and strongly urges co~nunity input be requested prior to establishing marine hishway rates, schedules and operational changes. D. With the increasing difficulty of acquiring p,tbllc right-of-w;ty throul~hout the Stnta~ primarily d,u? ~'n tho. diff,',ront lnnd elassificattnns and ownerships, tile League supports the acquisition cf adequat,, corridors for construction for public access through such land~. E. The League supports efforts reward an expanded railroad system to serve areas beyond the current northerly railroad ~rminus and south- easterly extensions linking the State of Alaska with Canadian rail facilities. F. Since the f~aska economy depends on the existence of transportation routes, tho League supports th~ continued use and state maintenance of the resource road to the North Slope. G. Tile L~ague supports an effort by tb~ M~aLe ~o £.q,~ov~ Lhu l..d ~rans- potteries link between Southcentr~l Alaska and tho l~ittier Gateway to Prince William Sound.. H. The League requests that the 8tnt~ of t~aska support a mandatory shipping corridor within ~laskan water. I. 11to League requests the State to intervene in the matter of interprct.tton and enforcement of Federal regulations pertaining to ti~o transpor~ation of hazardous cargo on passenger vessels in order to reduce the financial penalties now imposed upon certain coastal communities. J. The League supports the development of a transportation program with the maximum public participation possible which identifies the needs and establishes an improvement program for all forms of transportation in Alaslm to include com~.,~rcial and private air, marine and land transportation systems and adequate consideration for emergency airstrips. PART VI MUNICIPAL UTILITIES State Rg/lulation A. Alaska is undoubtedly unique a~ong the fifty states in its pre- ponderance of m,micipally-owned utilities. However, most of these utilities are currently over-burdened because of unprecedented growth of recent years. The L~ague supports expeditious funding which would make available to the various municipal utili:ies in the State of Alaska low interest loans in order that they may immediat~ly be brought into adequate service for the poople. B. Despite ttm demonstrated ability of municipalities to operate their o~m utilities in the best interest of consumer public, efforts are constantly being made to subject ~mtcipally ovmed and operated utilities to regulation by the Alaska Public Utilities Commission. This is a costly and unnecessary infringement on local §ov~u~nt powers and the League opposes any legislation which would inflict this undue ~e~ulation by the State on municipally owned and operated utilities. C. The League supports lcBlalation which would a!.l-w r:.nielp.~lly utilities to include construction work in progress J.n th~ utilities ba~c. A. One of the nl].egod benefits to accrue from the enactment of the Alaska Public Utility Commission Act was an amicable solution to thc service area conflicts between competing utilities. To further this co~endabl~ objective, ~u Loague~ tlwroforu~ supports l~gtslation which would allow municipalities operating utilities to acqutr~ the facilities of a competing u~ility under specific terms which would fairly compensate the comp~ting utility. A. The League endorses an amendment to Federal Law to exclude municipalities adjacent to tidal fluctuations from tim requirements of secondary treatment where th~ receiving waters do not merit s~condary treatment for sewage effluent disposal into ocean waters. B. Thc League also endorses the concept of the State of Alaska's paying up to 75% for sewage and water systems constructed by municipalities under the State of Alaska Construction Grant Program. C. The League endorses an amendment to Federal Law which would allow thc operational cost of s~wagc treatment facilities to receive general fund support from the State of Alaska and its municipalities, and to eliminate reference to a sewer use charge. Solid Waste A. The L~ague supports legislation which would authorize up to 75% of the costs of capital improvements for construction of solid waste disposal facilities by municipalities under the State of Alaska Col,struction Grant Program. PART VII MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS ~El~ctions A. The League supports legislation which would amend 29.28.040 to allow municipalities to determine, by local option, what percentage of votes cast is necessary for election to municipal office. Poll Hours A. Experience Ims proven :hat exC~nsion of polling hours has not increased voter turnout and has been costly. ~m Long, u~s therefore, Ol,l,OSn~ legislation which would oxtend the hours buyond the present 8:00 am to 8:00 pm. Registration A. The League opposes legislation which would eliminate or erode the State of f. laska registration system. B. The League supports legislation which would expand the State voter registration laws (AS 15.07.030) to include as part of voter history for registration and purging purposes~ voting in a regular municipal election. Administration A. ~o League supports legislation wl~ich consolidates all ftmctions pertaining to election, conflict of interest, compafgn disclosure reporting and qualifications for candidates into one agency. D__i~ppure.~gstriction, A. Although the League opposes compaign and financial disclosure rostrictto,s imposed upon local governn~nts, it recognizes the improbability of complete repeal of these statutes. ~e L~ague, however~ urges the Legislature to review and revise the laws ~m~king the reporting requirement less onerous than presently in effect. Tho League specifically st,pports legislation which would exempt from campaign disclosure elected advisory boards as defined in 29.63.090. Voter Qualification A. The I~ague supports legislation which would require a person to be registered to vote in state elections in the municipality in which he sacks to vote. .qual~fica~ipn~ for Elective Office A. The League supports legislation that would include provisions in Title 29 for municipalities to set qualifications for all elected municipal officials and to delete that section in Title 14 relating to school board member qualifications. B. The League supports legislation that would amend Title 29 to include reference to the requirements of AS 15.13. and AS 39.50 pertaining to qualifications of candidates. PART VIII LOCAL GOVER~dENT POWERS Local Autonomy A. Because certain restrictions currently exist in the Alaska Statutes which impede effective independ~nt local govcrumont, the Leng,~ supports legislation that would promote mor~ effective and /.nd-pendent local government in all organized boroughs and cities, and opposes any legislation which restricts local government powers. 9 B. The Leagu~ also opposes any further intrusion into local ?.e;orm, nt powers and operations. C. Thc League supports the continued exemption of municipal officials and employees from the lobbying reporting requirements under AS 24.25. Public: Employee.Labor Relations A. The League strongly opposes any legislation which would force municipal- ities to be subject to the provisions of the Alaska Public Employees Labor Relations Act. The League opposes just as strongly, any legislative efforts to dictate the provisions of local public employees labor relations ordinances. The League supports legislation to allow each municipality at any time to reject or withdraw from the terms of the Alaska Employees Relations Act. B. The League opposes legislation imposing binding arbitration on local governments. Such legislation would hinder local governments' ability to determine their personnel costs and therefore, prevent local government from dete~ning the local tax rate. Title 29 Revision A. In 1972, the League was successful in its efforts to have the Legislature approve passage of Chapter 118 $I2% 1972 which repealed Title 7 (Boroughs) and former Title 29 (Municipal Corporations) and created a new Title 29 (Municipal Government) in lieu of the repealed provisions. Since most powers of municipalities are derived from Titlc 29, the League supports efforts by the Departm~lt of Community and Regional Affairs to continually review, in consultation with Alaska municipalities, Title 29. Third Class Borough A. The League supports elimination of language from Alaska Statutes which would allow for the future creation of third class boroughs. Any existing third class borough would be allowed to continue in existance until such t!~e as it reclassifies. The League believes that a third class borough, as currently defined in statute, does not meet standards for a §e~eral purpose local government. Local Government Study A. The League endorses, and strongly supports, legislative action that would create and adequately fund a committee which would be charged with investigating current and futur~ state/local govenment relations and finance in Alas~a and the current and future status of local governnmat structures, specifically inclndin8 the unorganized borough. The committee membership shall be comprised of a broad representation of state and local govermncmt residents. The committee shall prepare a report on its findings, including proposed legislation and constitutional changes, and shell submit the report to the Second Session of the 11th State Legislature. 10 Unemployment Insurance A. The League opposes State imposition of unemployment insurance for local government employees. PART IX RESOURCES Non-Renewable A. The Alaska Municipal League supports a clear policy requiring the processing of state royalty oil and gas within ~las~. B. The League also encourages State policy requiring the distribution and sale within Alaska, to the extent it is economically feasible, the products of Alaska processed oil and gas. C. In response to the energy shortage and its economic impact on the people of the State, the League urges the Federal government, the State of Alaska, and League members to design, construct and use their buildings with an emphasis on energy efficiency. Renewable A. The Alaska Municipal League requests that the executive and legislative branches of State government establish a clear policy requiring the development and processing of renewable resources within Alaska. 'ir3: John WJ /, City ~nag(-r FROM: l~¢hard A. Ross, Cl'~io£ of Police SUBJFLT: Traffic F](~ Planning [~%TE: SeptemL~r 26, 1978 On 9-21-78 contact was ~de in And]orage wi_th the Traffic Safety Enginee. r's office. As a result of this contact the data frown the recent traffic fl~{ stlrvey in the Kenai aro~ was obtained. Preliminary analysis of the data in relation- ship to that obtained in 1977 has taken place. This is being correlated with frequency of acc/dent occurence for enfor ~cemant purposes. The data for 1978 was collected by use of unm~ed counters during the month of August. Data from 1977 was collected during the month of October. In addition the counter's were not, with three exceptions, placed in the same locations. This has made comparative analysis extremely difficult. The Willow Street intersection, while mechanically counted, did not receive the flow diagran~ning in 1978 that it did in 1977. A personal contact was sought and obtained with ~4r. Jim Edwards the R~gional Traffic Safety Engineer on 9-26-78. At this time Mr. Edwards advised, that /n spite of problems involved in making a cc~-~k%rative analysis, that he agreed that traffic flcw in the area was increasing at a significant rate. This is particularily true of the Kenai Spur and the Kenai .River crossing road betw~.n the Spur and Kaliformky Beach. While the count data for Willow Street was lower in 1978 than 1977, this can be attributed to the construction on Willow during the time of the count and possibly to motorist frustration with the intersection resulting in alternate routing of travel to the area. This is substantiated in that the 1978 count for traffic south of the Spur onto Main' Street was significantly higher than in 1977. Mr. Edwards advised that the State is still proceeding with plann/ng for redesign and widening of Willow Street and the Willow Street and Kenai Spur intersection. He stated that Public hearings would be held on this matter in the Kenai area during the winter months, with adequate notice once a date is set. ~. Edwards advised that ini{ial planning, as a result of our request, did include installation of conduit for future installation of traffic control lights. ~. Edwards concurred that continued significant traffic gro~h impact would result in their installation in the next two to three years. This would alleviate the Willow Street intersection probl~, as w~ll as to provide traffic flow gapping that would somewhat alleviate other side street to Kenai Spur accesses in the downtown ~le intersection of tile nc~ l~iver CrO.";sillg Ro~d arid Kalifonsky Beach Rc~d is having higher traf£ic volun~ tl~ul wds antici.~[c~4 by t/lo State. It will continue to be. I:r3nitorcd £or ti'af£ic thdt m~y ra]nd~tte ¢~ redesign. ~k'. Fz]w.n'ds al.~x3 advised that it was to receive priority sanding and lighting ll~intenan¢:o, during the coming winter nDnths. ' ' As a result of the data collection in August 1978, the'State, is now awe, re that the traffic voltmle on the KenaJ. Spur in the.dovmtown area has incre~tsed at a significant rate. The Region¢~] Traffic Safety Engineer }las requeste~] and will receive copies of ~ccident re}~rts for tile major int.ers£~tions discussed Jul this memo. He has given assurances their traffic volume ~urvey's will continue on a regular basis. In addition intersection flow diagranmttng will bo. accomplished where problems iu~e apparent. It is anticipated both of these will again be accomplished in the Fall of 1979 for purposes of comparative data analysis. However, close liason will be ~%aintained with the Engineer's office during the interim and any increase in traffic problems, accident's, etc., /n the area's under discussion will be brought to their attention. Sincerely, Chief of Police Kenai Police Department John E. Wise, City }5~nager City of Kenai Post Office Box 580 Kenai, Alaska 99611 OFFIC~ OF ~E CO,~I~flSSIO~ER off/df O,~AGI~ I September 22, 1978 Dear Mr. Wise: ! / / / Re: Grant #069510 It was a privilege to meet you personally on September 20, 1978, and discuss mutual concerns of the elderly in your area. Our discussion along with the comments from Ms. Patricia Porter, Project Director for Title III, indicates services to the elderly extend considerably beyond the city limits of Kenai. A review of the program activities verify this observation. I personally noticed services provided to senior citizens in the Soldotna area which I'm sure must be in another city complex or borough. The grant application indicates no local financial contributions from any sources other than the City of Kenai, volunteers and limited per- sonal contributions. Therefore, it is suggested other areas being served be invited to participate in the financial support of the pre- sent and future elderly progrnmn since some living in those areas also benefit from the elderly programs currently financed through city support. However such financial assistance forthcomingwould be a local matter of processing but every added financial assistance could result in more services to the elderly in the whole area. Progress is being made and additional local support would help this proposal be- come an even greater reality. If you have any questions or if we can be of additional assistance, please let me kuow.

Mr. Thomas also advised that accidents are also occuring from reckless driving on the beach and would request Council consideration to alleviate the problem.

Council so concurred. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to be brought before Council, the meeting adjourned Sue~C. Peter, City Clerk' --- .P Resolution//78-157 - setting policy on release of information. Councilman Whelan: I felt uncomfortable and I should have spoken out simply because I have been gun shy of this type of thing and have been in government. Secondly, I asked the attorney if he had really reviewed this in depth at the time and he said he had not and he did have problems and based on that I asked for reconsideration. I feel that basically that we have to have more communication, our problem has been many times we read things in the news media and granted we have not been too happy about it. I think that the problem has been that many things comes to the CouneiI ss a crisis which perhaps could have been taken care of without that. I say this merely beoeuse our problem doesn't lie with release of information;that lies elsewhere, and possibly a great deal of it with this Council, and it bothers me a great deal that even for 3 days, $ days, or whatever that there are shy information that, with the exception of legal and personnel, that would be held back. That's the philosophy that I have had for a long time and I know that not everyone agrees with it, I've Just lived with it. Mayor O'Reilly: Any comment from the City Attorney on this matter? Attorney Schlereth:' The City Attorney's report is available in the packet. At the time, as Councilman Whelan points, I didn't review this in depth but I didn't say I had any problems with it. The problems that I have resulted afterwards when a court suit was fried and an injunction was asked for. I merely thought that this matter should be brought back to the Council rather than a Superior Court Judge interpreting something when the Council should have an opportunity first to reevaluate the resolution and if it wished to make amendment or suggest that it be rescinded and a full blast ordinance or a more in-depth ordinance be put in its place and perhaps get the public opinion which might not have come up at a prior time. With that in mind, the best course would be, as the attorney's report points out, would be to bring this resolution back and as this report indicates, the way I interpret this resolution, on initial inspection the last time, although I had not reviewed in depth the constitutional ramifications, I felt that the resolution, on its face, was not repugnant and especially in light of what I believe to be the intent of the Council last time. And specifically if I could go over Section 1, 2 and 3 of the resolution merely set up some type of a guideline that the Council recommends that the Administration follow to provide fox' release of information. In Section 2, the City Clerk, for example, would be responsible to release minutes, resolutions, ordinances. and information. I think what the real brunt of the problem was in the lawsuit that the Kenai Newspapers, Inc. had was Section 4 dealing with Council packets and as was mentioned at the last Council meeting what the intent , was to follow along the procedure that the Kenal Peninsula Borough follows; namely, that rather than giving out a large set of packets containing all sorts of information which may or may not be of interest to the news media And the puhl~e at large, a mini packet s.vstem could be devised wherebv such mini packets as the Kenai Peninsula Borough has could be distributed instead or made available. As the present practice shows, or is, the City has been actually distributing full Council packets on the Friday before the Council meeting. Section 4 in my mind, and I thought that this was the Council's intent, was merely to devise a system whereby mini packets instead of full p~ekets would be distributed. It by no means, in my opinion and what I thought the Councilts intent was, is a method of withholding relevant public written information from the public or the press, and that would be supported by the first three sections. Section 2, for example, indicates that the City Clerk would be responsible for resolutions, ordinance information and distribution. Therefore, as I indicated to the Superior Court Judge and as I indicated to the Clerk, as far as I was concerned, the interpretation that the resolution has indicates that if a news reporter or any member of the public came in and wanted to see relevant information that might be contained in the full Council packet they should have the opportunity to look through that,, especially since that was the final work product to go out to the Council any relevant ' information that they felt (tape turned over) I don't make any Judgment one way or the other. They felt so disturbed over the wording of this resolution that they felt it was absolutely necessary and within their rights to get an immediate injunction in Superior Court so that they could have the information contained in this full packet on the · Friday before the Council meeting. Before the matter actually went through a full blast litigation the attorney for the papers and I reached an agreement t~at this was not our intent and that the information in the full packet would be let out or allowed to be examined and copies made on the Friday prior to the meeting and therefore this actual court hearing was postponed until sometime after this Council meeting. I think it was set on Friday now, but I'm not sure. The purpose was to allow the Council to more fully express their opinion on this and indicate their intent at a public meeting. In the interim I had the opportunity to go into more depth research of this entire matter. I actually went to Anchorage and did research in the l~rary there and spoke to several City attorneys in Anchorage and went into the full' background of information ordinances of this sort. And it was indicated that all these ordinances and state laws and what have you emanate from the Federal Freedom of Information Act which deals with the situation whereby the policy established that any written materials that could be considered public information held by government should be made available for public inspection. The act and consequently the many ordinances and state statutes of many states that have enacted this, Oregon being one of them, specifically follow along the Federal Freedom of Information Act statute which deals only with the release of public documents completed, written memoranda with t h ri htof rivac , eta This act does not certain exceptions to protect e g p Y · deal with the situation whereby oral information is to be released by government authority. After doing this initinl research and I'd like to point out, l will do a lot more before the ease, if it isn't dismissed after tonight, goes to Court. On initial research it seems ironic to me that this ordinance, at least in Sections 1, 2 and 3 is far more liberal that the Freedom of Information Act because it actually purports to deal with situations whereby people can come in to the City offices and obtain news releases and oral information. I think the intent of the Ordinance was to really bend over backwards in getting some kind of rapport with the news media and the public at large. The section 4 which I think was the brunt of the problem and which caused the newspaper a great deal of concern pea'haps doesn't - well let me put it this way; the newspapers felt that this particular provision didn't spell out well enough the intent of the Council-not that it was going to withhold this specific packet information from full Council packets. As I said before, in my opinion, that was not the intent and since there is a dispute, and an understandable dispute between the two parties, there is no reason to drag : this thing out in the Superior Court. I think the matter could be solved right here by the Council by rescinding this resolution with the understanding that I would prepare an ordinance that would fully outline in detail public information and follow along the public Freedom of Information Act and send this ordinance, as soon as I have it prepared, out to the newspapers, .. to the news media, and to other persons that might be concerned so that when it comes up for public hearing we could ail put our input into it and the matter could be resolved here at a Council meeting. Incidentally, and this Just goes back to what I wanted to say that I was going to have prepared the ordinance for tonight but I would like to ask if I could have a little more time to get something more involved together and then have that sent out to parties concerned. Oounoilwoman Glick: Since I appear to be the seven headed ogre in this particular situation, I would like to address several items. First, I would just like to read this little bit. It says "the question that occurs to the reader who does not accept newspapers at face value is what is the best rendering of the story, or more accurately, what is the story ." I would like to address a question to Councilman Whelan and then I would just like to go on with my comments. Do you feel that the rendition of this particular resolution was given fair treatment in the newspaper articles? Did they point out, for instance, the "whereases" and the resolutions? Did they point out that this has been discussed at the September 6th meeting? Did they point out any of my comments that might be construed as having the best interest of the public at heart when I prepared this? Do you really believe that this was given fair treatment in the newspapers? Councilman Whelan: ~ell, rather than address that Councilwoman Glick, I express my own opinion regarding something that I have always been on record of and always felt that way. Ill iii _ _ Councilwoman Gliek: Well, this may or may not be but I would like to address certain articles here since they chose to pick at random what they thought was-what shall I say "gagging" them, "muzzling" them, and so on and so on. I think that they purport to report to the news to the public, fair news. They say that they need all this back up information so that they can inform the public and I say that in the past they have had access to all this information and they have not used it to their fullest potential. They took this resolution and they used it. They took some of the articles out of context. They mis- represented it, in fact, making it look like we were trying to keep the public in the dark, when, in fact, this was not the intent at all. I think that tf they wanted to be fair and present both sides of the story, they would have presented the whole resolution in their newspaper and let the people come to their own conclusion. For instance it says: "Whereas, the State personnel need to have guidelines from the City Council." This was requested of the Council by the City Clerk. It says: "Whereas, it is the intent of the Council of the City of Kenai to keep the news media." Now we did not single out the Clarion. We send news to the Cheechako N~ws, and also send news to KSRM Radio Station, and the public at large is informed on a factual and accurate basis. It is the reporting that we have had in the past and that you have pointed out that has really distressed us because it has not really been factual and has not really been accurate regardless if its the administration or whoever. They have not printed follow up stories which, in fact, shows or tells what action the Council has taken on different items and with Council's permission I'm going to continue and address these articles in the newspaper because I feel like, that as an elected representative we owe it to the public to make sure that they get good news items and it was my full intent no_~t, and I have repeated this both on 9/6 and on 9/21. I have repeated it again on 9/7 when I had a conversation with Max Swearingen. I have repeated it again on 9/11 when I had a eonversation with J. R. Baldwin that it was not my intent whatsoever to suppress the news but to make sure that the people were getting good news reports concerning the City's activities. The article of 9/25 says: "Council passes news gag rule." This was not, as far as my intent was concerned, what we did. There are certain items in here and it says it drew no publie input. If they were so concerned, why did they not come to the public and give their input. They had a copy of this resolution the Friday before our Council action which in this case took place on Thursday., 9/21. That's almost a week. They did not at any time address this article in their newspaper. They came, I should say they sent a reporter to our Council meeting. By his own mouth, the reporter, J. R. Baldwin. he said that he was instructed not to say anything. Also on the radio Mr. Swearingen made the same comment that he had instructed his reporter not to say anything. Now if they were concerned that they were being "gagged" and "muzzled" they had every opportunity to make a presentation in the public. They also, as I say, had this ordinance or this resolution nearly a whole week in advance. To me this does not show good faith on their part. I would also like to say that this was gene~'ally considered t~ be directed at the Peninsula Clarion. Again, this is not the ease. Maybe we*va had our most problems with the Clarion, but our whole concern was the news media as a whole. It says: "Withhold certain administrative reports from the news media and the public until the day of the Council meeting,*' which indicates, by their own writing, that we are going to make it available. We are, in fact, not withholding it forever and a day. As I pointed out on 9/$ and 9/21, all I was asking was that the City of Kenai get the same considerations and the same respect that the other governing bodies get. Is that asking too much? Is it really asking too much? Also, where they suggested that the City Clerk, Sue Peter, can issue only certain information as long as it does not conflict with the City attorney or the City Manager's responsibilities. I would like to point out that according to the Alaska State Statutes certain duties are given to the city clerks, to the city managers, to the city attorneys. Our own City charter gives certain information specifying what the duties are. Now is it wrong to relate this and say as long as her giving out does not conflict with the City Manager or the City Attorney? Now if that's wrong, then our charter must be wrong. We should not refer to it. It says: "Ail other requests for new releases and information regarding the City of Kenai will be cleared through the City Manager.' This particular item was taken out of the ordinance of the City of Homer wherein it says that: *'the City Manager -_ shall adopt regulations as to the time, place and manner of inspection of public records.' I further elaborated in saying that, ok, anybody who wants to ~alk Just clear it through the City Manager. I in no way feel that we have instructed anybody ,not, to allow our people to speak to the public. We are merely saying let's channel it through one central source. I think that if you check with Anchorage you will find that they have a public relations personnel who handles this type of information. We're not geared to the kind of operation so what is wrong with the City Manager saying this? Along that line, I would also Like to point out that section 3 the last sentence it says: "This is not to say that the City Manager has to the one releasing the information, but only that he is aware of it.' I put that sentence in specifically as a result of my conversation with J. R. Baldwin on 9/11 wherein he stated he had difficulties working with the City Manager. I thought, well this should alleviate that problem meaning that if he has problems working with the City Manager he does not specifically have to contact him. Now if it's wrong to try to meet some of their means or some of their demands, then I guess Itm wrong and I'm sorry. But the thing is it distresses me that they go to these sort of things, these lengths in not presenting the whole, total problem. They have this newspaper at hand and they use it for their own self-serving purposes. It says that: "this news information should greatly concern Kenai residents who take an active interest in the affairs of the City." It was my I I I II iilL_ ~ main concern that the people be informed factually and accurately and this is why we've discussed this problem many tim~s in thc past and that's all we have ever done is discussed it. Everybody gripes and growls but i~obody doer, anyththg ~l~d I thought well on~u uJld for all w~ ~hould addres~ the situation and try and come to some sort of conclusion. But when we do this we're wrong again, it doesn't make any difference what the City tries to do, as per the Clarion, they're wrong. Now again, I Just have different articles marked down here. It says that: "It was clearly evident that the Council was singling out this newspaper." Again, I want to reiterate, no one was specifically singling out the Clarion. At no time did we specifically mention the Clarion. We referred to "news media" and again I say we give news to the Cheechako News and to KSRM and I think that constitutes "news media ." And then they go on to comment in their editorial is the CtW Council is so unsure of its actions that issues potentially affecting the people of the City need to be shrouded until the Council delivers its authorative decisions." I don't think that we have anything to be ashamed of. I know I personally don't. It Just is so distressing and then it says reconsideration of this resolution is paramount to the insuring that citizens' rights to freedom of information is not Jeopardized. Well, I maintain that these articles are seriously. Jeopardiz%g the citizens' right to information because they have not accurately given an account of exactly what took place and I don't think that that is responsive reporting to the public. As the City Attorney pointed out when I mentioned the Borough mini packets and based my item //4 on that, I asked the question if the Borough can do it why can't the City of Kenai? Are we some illegitimate child as I pointed out on 9/21 that everybody else could have certain rules and regulations but if we tried to do something it's all wrong. Well, I ask ff it's wrong for us is it not also wrong for the Borough? As I pointed out before, my main concern has always been for the interest of the citizens of Kenai because I believe that they are being short-changed when it comes to certain items in the newspaper. It says also that the Clarion is arguing that the resolution as passed by the Council is in violation of the state statutes, that every person has a right to inspect the public documents, writing, etc. This is not so because we did not say that they could not do this and as I pointed out that according to Alaska Statutes 9.25.110, you have to let people review what is in your City Hall as far as your actions and I pointed this out but this is not given mention in the paper it just makes it sound like all we are trying to do is keep everybody in the dark while we shaft them again, I think that the press abuses and uses their paper to intimidate and I also think that whenever they have accused us of preventing our people from speaking freely I think that when Mr. J. R. Baldwin was instructed not to speak, I think that's an infringement on his right la.~cause maybe he didn't want to speak, and he couldn't speak as a reporter. But possi'oly he wanted to speak as a citizen but being instructed as he was, he didn't. Why, is beyond me but to say that they didn't have a chance I think is totally unfair because as I say they had this resolution and they had a chance to say anything~and they chose not to, and yet the City of Kenai is in the wrong. As f~r as the Council passed this on "an emotional feeling; and now I'm quoting from your comments I don't know if your feeling was emotional but mine was one of concern, concerned that the citizens of the City of Kenai is getting a fair shake as far as news being released and again it Just says, quoting from your comments, wlaen this resolution came up for consideration It should have been analyzed and we should have asked why it is needed. I think that again on 9/6 we had questions and comments on this and again on 9]21 if there were gross problems with it I think that they should have been addressed. I think that it's really unfair to wait until after the fact and then start to pick at something. And then you say we need to ask what is going on? I don't know what is going on, that should not be made public and as I said before and I'll say it again, it was not my intent to suppress the news to keep anybody in the dark but rather that the people get factual and accurate information. And if that's wrong then I guess I have the wrong idea of why we are sitting here as elected officials representing the people of the City of Kenat as a whole and not Just special interest groups and not single persons. And I'm sorry if I took up too much of your time, but when I'm wrapped up in the paper for being some kind of monster without given a fair shake, I felt like I should make the comments. Councilman Whelan: Well, the resolution, as far as I'm concerned, still, again, it regardB all news media, If we have a problem with what you may call "one-sided" or "yellow Jom'nalism" it's something that we cannot control at this Council. It is something that in this country that we have to live with. This is something if we don't like that's fine. As far as the emotional part of it is concerned, wi. th the exception of perhaps one, the mayor, I have heard almost to a man each Councilman express the problems that they had in reading in the paper problems that have IIenerated with the City after they read about it in the paper and find out about it first in the paper, And ·l've l~eard ~his many times. .I don't think there is anyone here that can deny that. And I say, this is where the problem comes, and emotionally we have the tendency to blame the paper because we pick it up, and regardless of whether it's one sided or not, we can't do much about that. We can't do anything about any paper, and I don't think any government really can that comes out with one-sided stories and ffl'anted, some of the stories have upset me. But I think the emotional problems came, and I think this is where our concern where many times we've read about crises that have developed or problems that have developed and they have gotten to the point where all of a sudden they were blown out of proportion. We knew nothing about them or we didn't know they were on a crisis scale. Other than that I feel that this has to address the entire problem of news coming out of the City. It sounds fine to say that all requests for news releases will be cleared through the City Manager, but this involves a problem right there because of the fact that if he is gone, if someone is bein~ questioned in government and this comes up time and time again, it puts them on the spot if they are working for him, and I think this is a problem regardless of how you word any resolution; this is a p.roblem that is going _ _'L _ Il. L ~ l] _ Iii L .... I[ll [lllllll_ ~ _ ~L ... _ /' to be there as long as there is this type of resolution. As far as reconsideration, I think that I expressed my right as a Councilman to ask for reconsideration based on snmothin~ that I quite, frankly ¢lidn't ~n¢! pPoh~hly nhmlld hsv,~ queslioncd the night it came up. That's all that I can say to that. In fact, I'I1 break it off right there. Councilwoman Olick: You made a comment and I hope that tho reporter picks it up in the paper that you made it and not me. One other item, in this editorial on September 26th that they made reference to "as one councilwoman stated." That would indicate that there is more than one councilwoman and I was wondering which one of you guys has been masquerading and since we have had all this changing of names like Phil Ambarian or whatever, I was lust wondering ff the paper knew something that we don't. I would also like to point out that these rescinding recommendations that the City Attorney gave in his opinion, he and I had been working on this problem prior to this big, black headline of Friday, September 29 so I would like that to be duly noted in the minutes that the reconsideration action was being considered prior to the headlines of Friday, September 29th. Mayor O'Reilly: Do I understand the City Attorney is in the process of reviewing similar ordinances and resolutions from other cities and will be coming to tho Council with such a proposed resolution and/or ordinance? Attorney Sohlereth: That's ~d~ht. I would like to have the next Council meeting to bring this up on the agenda as an ordinance dealing with this note and review the Anchorage ordinance and the Homer ordinance and pass out a draft of it, and have this matter on the agenda next time if that's all right. Councilman Ambartan: One comment that I would have to make on the futm'e ordinance is that the news media should bo able to pick up this ordinance in their packet or at the time of the public hearing. I don't see any need to send them specific information other than that would interest the public. Mayor O'Rellly: They should be able to pick it up in the mini packet? Councilman Ambarian: In their packets or at the public hearing. The information will be available and if they do want to make comments they can step forward and do so. I don't think we need go out and - I think they should be treated like the public, have the same opportunity as the public has to make comment. Mayor O'Reilly: We have a motion to reconsider. City Clerk Peter: What do we need just a majority on that reconsideration? Majority. We don't have to have it unanimous? Ok. Councilman Abet: Question to the atwrney I guess - couldn't or shouldn't a considerable amount of this actually be in the personnel regulations? Mayor O'Reilly: I'm sorry, I missed the question. Councilman Abet: It appears to me that majority of this could actually be covered in the personnel regulations. Attorney Schlereth: That's a good point. I think as it concerns verbal information perhaps the best place for it would be in the personnel ordinance. That's something I can work on. The problem with it perhaps is that some, perhaps, some citizens might complain, that "well it's in this ordinance and in that ordinance, can't we find one ordinance we can read it in" and that's the only problem I have with that. I did think that the personnel ordinance would be the place fol' - to deal with this but I'm still resolving that in my mind that's why I'm ~sking for this extra time. Councilman Abet: Your basic problem then is with section 4 in clarifying, expounding on what is being included in the packets - in the mini packets, who they are to be available to and what's to be available? Attom~ey Sehlereth: I don't like to call it a problem - I don't have a problem with it - I lust like fo-there's been a problem expressed by the newspaper 'that sued the City. But in my opinion I don't see a problem in it, but to resolve any kind of dispute of this nature or misunderstanding I think the easiest way to resolve this is to write it so that everybody is happy. That the purpose of government Councilman Abet: But what you're proposing is not to change the intent of section 4 just to clarify it to expound Attorney Schlereth: Expound in an ordinance form. Mayor O'Reilly: Councilman Whelan will you take the chair? Mayor O'Reilly: ',.9 I'd like to speak on this motion to reconsider. In the first place and it has to be olearly understood, nothing has come up that I know of at all since the period of October, 1977 in the way of published or written memorandum that reflects on any Council person or would deal with anything that a Council person would have a direct interest in what's at concern here is that in order to have for the City of Kenai to have an informed Council, that Council must have information made available to it and must have some time to consider such information. Thirdly, the points that the Council deal with are the ones of major importance to this City. The points that the media sometimes dwells upon may be of high publicity value but are not to the essence and the .essentials of governing this City. Fourthly, if the mayor has the responsibility to govern the Council meetings, I interpret that to mean that the Council meetings must be carried on in an atmosphere of mutual respect that can only be gained by the experience of working with each other and determining in depth what the motives are of the Council persons. And I want it stated on the record that it never has been my opinion at any time that I ever had to question any motive of any one of the Council persons on this Council. And to see the situation develop where many matters of importance are delayed because we have to come up with some satisfactory public relation mechanism to satisfy particular press media and to see Council get divided and disturbed about this matter when we have such major matters as FAA land, Alpetco, Pacific Alaska - time consumed on this matter is unfortunately a waste Of time of what I consider a highly motivated group of people that are working most earnestly to resolve the major matters that affect this City. So I will vote for reconsideration of this motion only on the premise that the City Attorney is going to come in with a draft resolution and/or ordinance that will satisfy the legal requirements that are necessary. But I do want it clearly understood that I may have remained silent about the treatment of this City by the press, and it's a Judgment on my part to remain silent and allow them to have some range of inacauracies and innuendoes and attacks on both the City Council persons and the administration but only to the point that it is not damaging to the future of this City. And what has happened tonight, to see Council p~.rsons get divided and spend an inordinate amount of time on this matter is disturbing and I think should it be put on the public record that ff that '11 x .I was the intent and purpose of that newspaper they succeeded and they won a hollow victory in my opinion. With that I would like to resume the chair. Are we ready for the vote? Clerk call the roll. This is the motion to reconsider. That's correct. Ambarian - yes, Glick - yes, Malston ~ yes, O'Reilly - yes, Seaman -yes, Whelan - yes, Abet - yes. Mayor O'Reilly: We now have the resolution in front of us. Councilman Ambarian: I'd like to make a motion. I move that Resolution 78-157 be held in abeyance until Ordinance 441-78 is presented to Council by the City Attorney. In addition I request sections 1, 2 and 3 of Resolution 78-157 become a part of an amendment to the personnel regulations and the City Attorney fit section 4 within the framework of the Freedom of Information Act which I believe he said was probably a little bit stricter then what we orifflnally intended here. Mayor O'Reilly: Do you we have second? Councilman Abet - second Mayor O'Reilly: You a~e asking for it to be held in abeyance? Councilman Ambartan: Yes, the reason I am asking ~hat is that I feel strongly about our original honest intent and I don't want to just shove the resolution out of the door, but yet hold it in the books until the ordinance comes in to replace it. I just feel strongly about what we have done with the reii oluflon, and I don't want to rescind the whole resolution. Councilman Whelan: When an ordinance is in abeyance does that mean that it's in eff~t o~ what? Mayor O'Reilly - a resolution Councilman Whelm - okay, a resolution. Mayor O'Reilly - this is what I'm puzzlinll: on Attorney Schlereth: You can say that this enforcement is held in abeyance. I think this can be done. Mayor O'Retlly: There may be a way out of this. We havo the resolution as on the table in front of us. You want to table it with a definite time? If it's tabled to a definite time namely when he brings in the revision - Councilman Ambarian: I would - yes, I would refer to the City Attorney - I was going on his advice as far as abeyance. We have it in the books as not being enforced, is this ~orrect? Attorney Sehlereth: That's correct. Councilman Ambarian: But we have it and should we fail to develop an ordinance we can always back to this resolution ff the Council does so desire. Mayor O'Re!!!y: The only problem I have having, Councilman Ambarian, if tabled to a time definite, namely when the City Attorney comes in with the revised words and accomplishes the same thing, I don't really know what it means to have a resolution in abeyance. Councilman Ambarian: The way I look at it is that we will have (inaudible), but we will not be enforcin~ it. We are deliberately holding the enforcement of that resolution. Mayor O'Reilly: Okay, 1'11 take that interpretation. Atto~-ney Schlereth: You might interpret it as a resolution perhaps amending or ... part-..amending this existing resolution with the proviso that it not be held, not be enforced until such time as a new ordinance is brought before Council. Councilman Ambarian: Then at the time the ordinance comes in we can rescind. Councilwoman Glick: I ~'ould also like thc rcccrd~ to reflect since everything wc do hag to bc public, after our Council meeting on 9/21 or the early hours of 9/22, I had a short conversation with reporter, J. R. Baldwin, in which he said off the record we had not heard the last of this resolution. And I said to him at that time that if he had real strong problems if he let mc know I would make any amendments necessary and this was done to show that we would be willing to work with the paper if they had real strong reservations and also for the record since we are public employees or public off~.cials or whatever you want to call us, I would like to know just how many Council members had any repercussions or any reactions from the public, if any. Councilman Whelan: I did. Councilwoman Glick: How many persons contacted you? Councilman Whelan: About six Councilwoman Glick: Ok, I also had quite a few contacts and, in fact, last Sunday I went grocery shopping and talked to people at random, introduced myself and asked them if they had been reading the newspaper articles just to get peoples' reaction because I want to make sure that what I was doing was - what I thought I was doing was working in the best interest of the City, and the only question that I had was was there a problem with the constitutionality of the ordinance and I said well as fax' as I knew out' City Attorney was working on that and whatever he had to say would come out. Other than that, most all the comments were not against the City Council and I think I am putting this nicely since ~y thoughts are public, I don't have to say what they are. Mayor O'Reilly: We have Councilman Ambarian's motion to hold abeyance on the floor. we ready for the vote on that? Clerk call the role. Are Ambarian - yes, Glick - yes, Malston - yes, O'Reilly - yes, Seaman - yes, Whelan - no, Abet - yes. ....... TF'T[ ' 1" SPECIAL MEETING - KENAI CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 12, 1978 - 5:00 P.M.

Gentlemen: Two, 15,000-volt, underground electrical cables have bee~ found in the way of construction of the 3,000,000 gallon steel water tank under your contract. - · - These cables begin at a bank of ground-level transformers a few feet west from tF~e existing pump house. They then run underground to and up a pole. The pole appears to have fused disconnects i~ the circuit. From the pole, the cables go underground. Two ~2 at 15,000 volts )'un down the pole and underground apparently beneath the west embankment of the old fire pond, to the former water treatment building at the south end of the float plane basin. One ~2 at 15,000 volts runs down the pole and underground, apparently be,eath the embankment at the south end of the old Fire pond, to an FAA avigation or airfield lighting installation. The as-built sketches by the old Kenai City Light organization are somewhat contradictory in that there is some indication that the FAA circuit may be only 240-volt. Locations are crude at best, and all cables should be traced and staked and flagged clearly on the ground, using electronic cable locators, while the cables are still hot. After supposedly disconnecting cables, the same electronic gear should be used again to verify that hot cables have actually been disconnected. Do not rely on assumptions or "as-builts", because if you do someone may be electrocuted. · -1- You are dir~c~od to po. rfor~n ~}m flflln~.~i~9 ~([di~io.q-al l~,or~ avoid (Iola~ or shu~do;~ of Lbo 3ob due Lo the above described tnterferi~o cables: Determine from FAA and the Owner (1) if the FAA circuit is essential, or (2) can the FAA circuit be permanently cut off. If the FAA circuit can be permanently cut off, then permanently cut off both circuits at the existing three- phase transformer just west from the existing pump house. If the FAA circuit is essential land cannot be permanently cu~ off and retired, install a cable from the transformer around the south side of the pumphouse beneath the gas line, across the ~r-~-fiage channel, and thence north to the FAA transformer, as shown. The reason you are directed to go around the south side of the pumphouse, instead of along the north wall as suggested, is to avoid temporary hook-ups and possible future disturbance. By going around the south end, the job can be done once, and it should not be necessary to have HEA on the site more than once. Cable shall be I ~2-15 KV, similar and equal to the existing cable to the FAA transformer. Burial shall be at least 3.0 feet, and shall be down in the prevailing non-frost susceptible sand subsoil. Burial beneaU~ the drainage channel shall be at least 3.0 feet below the specified finished grade of the bottom of the-'~l-Fainage channel. Cable shall be protected at the drainage channel bottom by encasement in 1 - 21 foot length of 3" galvanized-steel rigid conduit or Schedule 40 pipe with galvanized malleable-iron bushings at each end. Center the encasing conduit at the centerline of the finished drainage channel. Record and deliver to the Engineer, the exact horizontal and vertical location of the new cable to the FAA transformer. Recording shall be on standard survey notes and by an 8~" x 11" drawing. Homer Electric Association, the serving utility, insists on doing all electrical work on their primary circuits, and these interfering cables are primary circuits. Homer Electric Association has offered to do the necessary electrical work in a slightly different manner -2- '11 ' for a r:laximum charge of $2,50C). llowevPr, it 'i~ impractical to obtc~im) a fixed charge at ~h'i'~"-ti,~e. Therefore, p)'oceed as directed above, and payment which is justified under Section 21 and 39 of the General Conditions, will be )..'~acle in accordance ~.~iYh 17c et seq, with a 15 percent fixed fee to bo added to Items 17c '(1) - (6) to cover ~)i'e cost of SUl)erv)sion, overhead, bond, profit and any other general expenses not covered by 17c {1) - (6). A form. al Change Order will be executed to evidence the ).lork and costs as soon as costs are definitely known. Very truly yours, Harold H.

As of this date, Rockford Corporation ~as still not received a notice of approval or notice to proceed on the work included in the change orders. Change Order Number 2 was for work directed by Harold H. Galliett, in his letter to Rockford Corporation dated April 26, 1978.' The change order for this work ,a~ submitted for approval on July 28, 1978. A time period of two months has ,,lapsed without approval of this change. The City has questioned the cost of t~e change by Homer Electric Association and based on these questions, additional ,.~.st data was forwarded to Harold GaHiett. There remains no justification for f.ntinuing to delay approval of this change as the work performed was clearly :~r,~ted in the April 26, 1978 letter by ~arold Galliett. The work was performed .~.,-~,g normal working hours and prudent City inspection would clearly corroborate · .~ h~rs and equipment submitted by Homer Electric Association. Based on the ,' ,e ~nfo~tion, Rockford Corporation requests that Change Order Number 2 be : ~,:tt,..$ to Council at the next scheduled Council meeting. · .... Crder ~umber 5 was submitted for approval on August 15, 1978. A time period .... 4rly two n~nths has elapsed since submittal on this change. At the time of ~..'~',ston, a final acceptance date of September 28, 1978 was included in the · ~,.:e. This acceptance date was predicated on two facts. First our electrical · :'~t,'actor was advised by material suppliers that prices on electrical components - .rd increase approximately nine percent on October l, 1978. Secondly, it was ~,'~d~ly apparent to all parties concerned that to delay notice to proceed beyond C.~tuber l, 1978 would undoubtly result in the work being performed under winter ~onCitions. Winter conditions would add needlessly to the expense of completing the ~roject. The time of approval for the change was, however, extended to October 4, at the request of Keith Kornelis. This time period has now passed by some eight ¢~ys without any action for approval. Ctty of Kenat October 12, 1978 Page Two Change Order Number 4 was given to Rockford Corporation on September 21, 1978 and was prepared and submitted for approval on September 28, 1978. The fact that this change was needed was voiced by Harold Galliett as early as August l, 1978. The same necessity for expedience exists for this change as was outlined for Change Order Number 5. In conjunction with the excessive delays in processing the change work, Rockford Corporation has been subjected to needless delays in obtaining money due for work completed and approved· On September 6, 1978 , a formal letter of acceptance ~a$ issued by 14r. Galliett to the City of Kenai. This letter clearly states tee work under the referenced contract is complete and accepted. Request for (ie41 payrent was imediately made based on the letter of acceptance. No ~lmm~t has yet been made. Ix t~$ letter, Rockford Corporation requests that the retained amount of $ 13,007.36 ~'e ~rr~diately paid plus the amount of $ 9,554.98, which is the total indicated for ~,i already performed under Change Order Number 2. ~",~¢ord Corporation would further request that Change Order Number 4 and § be ~,~ed Uctober 18, 1978. It is our opinion that if issuance is not possible by t~e lStn of October, that it would be in the best interest of all concerned, to ~eJect the two change orders and put the work out to competitive bid. Rockford Corporation request that this letter be made a part of the agenda for the next City Council meeting. We will have a representative present to discuss all items included in the letter· Sincerely, ROCKFORD CORPORATZON · OeBoer Superintendent RoO/sks cc: Harold Galliett Kenai City Council 10-18-78 Fz~lm Real Appraisal Airport-Land Baker & Taylor Books Anti-Rec.- Kenai Electric ~ce Jackson Re~__~ Fun'm~e for Well ~se ~1 A~CO~N~ I~rof.
