To: City Council
From: Charles A. Brown, Acting City Manager
Subject: Ordinance ~537-79
December 14, 1979
The following requests were'made from the Public Works Department regarding the
Personnel Regulations:
(1)
Compensatory time off should be equal to the rate of pay given up
for overtime worked. That is, if overtime is worked on Sunday
(a double-time day), then time off in lieu of overtime should be
at the rate of 2 hours for each hour worked.
(2) Compensatory time should be allowed to accumulate with no maximum.
(3) If called out during off hours, the minimum pay shall be for 4
hours overtime.
(4)
(5)
(6)
The anniversary date should coincide with the date of hire, not
the end of probation. Essentially, this means that the first 2
evaluation periods should be six months long, and subsequent
evaluation periods should be 1 year each.
Revise salary table to provide higher pay.
Performance evaluation should be semi-annually.
The City Administration can support item #2 above. This will
simply require the employee to indicate on his overtime slips
whether he wants comp. time or pay; and then the Finance Department
will account for it similar to leave accrual. If the Council also
supports this, the following motion to amend Ordinance Number#537-79
may be made:
"23.25.0.10~..r. 6(c) be amended to read,'Compensatory Time shall
accumulate without maximum on an hour for hour basis, to be
taken with approval of the Department Head["
~3.25.010. - 6(d) Last sentence should read, ~In lieu of payment,
time off is authorized with no maximum accumulationS"
The City Administration can partically support item #3 above.
Presently, some call-outs are paid at actual hours worked and
some with a one hour minimum. I do believe that a two hour
minimum overtime would be more fair. If the Council supports this,
the following motion to amend Ordinance Number~537-79 may be made:
"23.55.010., add a new Section 7 to read, tall out while not on
standby: When employees are called out to work outside of normal
working hours, they shall be paid a minimum of 2 hours overtime
pay. Overtime hours worked immediately prior to or after normal
working hours will not be considered as a call-outS"
~emorandum to City Council

Ordinance #537-79 (Cont'd)
The City Administration shares the concern of the employee with
regard to the salary structure (item #5 above). I believe we
should carefully review the salary table before next budget year.

the Revenue Sharing & Anti-recession audit.
Motion passed by roll call vote.
G-17: Approval of funds for architectural drawings, Carmen Gintoli.
Carmen Ointoli explained his proposal. This was an idea of space required,
He would need a budget figure from the Council to complete it. The attorne~
needs more space, There is access needed between the City Managerts office
and the Couneil Chambers, and he plans to reverse the building official and
the Public Works Directorts office. It is an open concept, access to anyone
coming in. What the plan does is show what the City needs, there is room
for expansion. The Council chambers have sliding doors, and a permanent
set-up for executive sessions. He computed $80 per sq. ft. for construction.
Mr. Brown said the Health Center can be bond money, he will cheek with
Atty. Delahay. He also said we have $337,000 bond money and $400,000
in the reserve general fund. Mr. Gintoli said he could start at break-up.
Councilman Ambarian asked Mr. Brown if we still have working capital.
Mx'. Brown replied yes. Councilman Ambarian asked Mr. Gtntoli for an
estimate of site development, road and water & oocwcr..~.~r. Gintoli replied
road estimates are unknown. There is some parking available to use. We
would have to add 30% ff we have to have all new parking. Councilman
Ambarian asked if we are leasing or purchasing the land. Mayer O*Reilly
replied/le didn't know. Mayor O'Reilly asked if there was any estimate
on furnishings. Councilman Ambarian replied $30,000 to $40,000. Council-
man Abet confirmed this did not include carpets, etc. ~r. Gintoli explained
we will be using what we have whenever possible. The C~uneil Chambers
need some seats, he would advise against fixed seating. Councilman Ambarian
asked if there was matching funds for the Health Center. l~r. Gintoli explained
KENAI CITY COUNCIL
NOVEMBER 21, 1979
Page 8
his understanding ~vas: 1000 sq. ft. times cost per sq. fl. of the building
gives us the total money to withdraw from Civic Center and apply cost
of City Hall. Councilwoman Gliek asked if we are still providing the
H~.slth Center. Mr. Gintoli replied yes, at last discussion. Councilwoman
Glick stated she understood the State Dept. of Revenue was moving out of
Kenai. Mr. Brown said the City was not opposed to the State taking over
but not to their moving out of Kenai. The latest report is Jan. 1, 1980 that
the State will take over, he hasn't heard any confirmation. Councilwoman
Gliek said we should confirm this as soon as possible, we need definite
plans. Mr. Brown said he will check on .~onday. ~r. Gintolt noted that
Dept. of Revenue is downstairs, if is not used, it will be storage. But we
should know from the State. Mayor O'Reilly asked .~ir. Gtntoli if he basically
needed a dollar flffure, Mr. Gintoli replied yes. Councilman Ambarian said
he figures $950,000 with site development, t)arking, etc., and sut~gested we
should lease the land from the City. Councilwoman Glick eoneurred, and
suggested a 55 year lease.
Councilman Abet asked if we had planned a dead storage area. Mr. Brown
said he wasn't sure ff we needed a walk-in vault..~,~r. Gintoli said a concrete
wall with a steel door for 2-3 hours fire proofing was sufficient. Councilman
Abet noted we should have a storage area for special papers and microfilm
ff we start using it.
Councilman Ambarisn said the mechanics need access to the back. Mr. Gintoli
noted this had already been considered.
Councilwoman Gliek asked if public comment sessions are in his plans. Mr.
Gintoli replied his contract will have development plans to submit to Council
meetings. He has already been contacted regarding air circulation. Council-
man Malston asked if there were windows..Mr. Gintoli showed him those
planned in the Council Chambers, Manager's office, Clerk's office, Attorney's
office and the Health Center.
Councilman Ambarian asked if the schematics will be reviewed by the Public
Works Committee, }.Ir. Gintoli replied yes. A meetinR', was set for the following
Thursday.
Mayor O'Reflly asked if the $750,000 was for the building. Councilman Ambarian
replied it w~uld be easier if the figure included everything..$750,000 was for
the building, $200,000 was for site develo0ment. ~r. Gtntoli noted the contraet
will go out to one contractor. Councilman Ambarian asked if was on contingency.
Mr. Gintoli replied yes, he will .l~ive costs as they l~o along. Councilman
Ambarian said $950,000 was the maximum, the plan will include alternates

if it goes higher. Mr. Gintoli said that will be determined as we p;,o alonF,.
Mayor O'Reilly asked if Federal Energy Saving grants were involved. Mr.
Glntoli replied $50,000 qn alternate energy forms was available through the
U.S. Dept. of Energy. Councilman Abet asked about the State Appropriate
Technology Program. Mr. Gintoli replied he has been trying to get information
on that, they do have a loan program. Mayor O'Reilly said there is alot of
money available, we should be checking into this. Mr. Gintoli noted that
with solar energy for water, funds were available.
Atty. Delahay discussed some housekeeping changes in the contract.
MOTIO.~I:
Councilman Ambarian moved, seconded by Councilwoman Gliek , that
the agreement between the City of Kenai and Gintoli Architectural
construction costs are not to exceed $9 $0,000, to include contingency.
Discussion:
CounciLman Abet said he was not in favor of weeky inspections, we will
need d~tly inspections. Atty. Delahay agreed, the owner usually furnishes
the inspector, the architect should furnish the inspector. But
the proposal was set up this way by the architect and agreed by the City.
Councilman Abet felt that once a week by the architect or anyone else was
not sufficient. Mr. Gintoli said a full-tinge inspector is
$15.00 an hour, for a total of $15,000 plus. The Council can increase the
cost as it goes along, at their option, it is in the contract. Councilman
Ambarian asked how long the tests would take, one hour or all day. Some
weeks it will take more time. Mr. Gintoli replied he would attend the special
meetings and weekly inspections per the proposal. Some times he will
need more time than others, it is up to the Council. Mayor O'Reflly noted
that for a job of this size, it would need an inspector. He asked Atty. Delahay
if the Council could call on Mr. Gintoli if needed for inspection. Atty. Del-
ahay refered to the contract, and asked Mr. Gtntoli how much a full-time
inspector cost. Mr. Gintoli replied $20.00 an bout', plus $20.00 an hour
for drafting, and $10.00 for secreta~,. Councilman Ambarian said he
would disapprove the contract as written, he a~reed with Phil Abet. Atty.
Delahay said the City could set the hours to inspect, when extra inspections
were needed.
MOTION:
Amendment to main motion.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL
NOVEMBER 21, 1979

Mayor OtRetlly proposed an amendment to page 1 of the a~reement, Part II-B,
For Employees' time at:
Project Inspector ....... $20.00 per hour.
Amendment to main motion passed by roll cai1 vote.
Mr. Brown asked if the total construction costs are listed. }~r. Gintoli refered
to the contract.
Councilman Aber asked for clarification of page 7 of the agreement. Do we
furnish soils personnel for testing. Mr. Gintoli replied the contract documents
would specify, and refered to Atty. Delahay. Mr. Delahay said it was removed
from the architect. Councilman Abet asked why, the City will have to furnish
firms for testing. Mr. Delahay explained it usually ~oes to a lab, the City will
contract, lle dontt do, just pay for. The architect will demand the test, the
City will pay for it. Councilman Abet said he understands, but it is not working
that way. Mr. Gintoli explained that in the contract, the contractor will be
responsible. Any special testing, the City will pay. Determinations can only
be made at the time. Atty. Delahay said if an architeet has to oversee tests,
their fee will rise to cover the contingency. Councilman Abet said that con-
tractors have been hurt by testings not done correctly. Atty. Delahay noted
that wetre paying so the architect will be encouraged to insist on tests. Mr.
Gintoli reiterated that the contracts will have standard testing, this is just for
special testing. If the results are negative, the contractor pays, if positive,
the City pays.
MOTION:
The main motion was voted upon. Motion passed with Councilman
voting no.
H-l: City Manager's Report
There will be a meeting of the airport committee ~fonday evening.
H-2: City Attorney's Report
City withdrawal from Social Security. Atty. Delahay explained that the
Police were separate from the other departments, and Atty. Schlereth had
asked the State for an opinion. The State said no, it couldn't be done that
way. If it does pass the vote, it cannot become effective until Dee. 31, 1981.
He suggested the City Clerk bring the subject up for a vote at that time.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL
NOVEMBER 21, 1979
Page 11
Councilman Ambarian said it has been delayed over six months now, and was
brought up by Public Safety. By adding other employees, the motion has been
slowed down. Atty. Delahay explained that by law is cannot be in effect before
Dec. 31, 1981. Why make a decision now when it cannot be done till then, two
calendar years after notice. Councilman Abet asked if everybody was on the
option, Councilman Ambarian replied yes. Atty. Delahay said we are in a
state of withdrawing, but it cannot be official until Dec. 31, 1981, and all eould
change. Councilman Abet asked why wait to vote. Atty. Delahay explained
tho Public Safety wanted it. Couneilman Abet said Public Works voted yes, but
the others in administration can vote yes or no. Arty. Delahay read the letter
from the State that explained all departments would vote together. Councilman
Abet noted that Public Safety is more than 50% of the total personnel, l~r. Brown
said just barely, with the dispatchers. Councilman Abet said it is not fair to
the older employees, it should be an option. Arty. Delahay explained the ero~)loyee
would still have what he bought in, but it would be decreased. He felt the Court-
cfi was spinning its wheels, we can't do anything till 1981. Councilman Ambarian
said the original intent was for Public Safety only. Council intended to proteet
the older employees. Atty. Sehlereth began the work. Couneilman Abet said
everyone will forget in one and a half years. Councilman Arpbarian said we
should pursue a State decision, other municipalities have done this. Mayor
OtRetlly appointed Couneflmen Ambarian, Malston and Seaman to check into
this. Atty. Delahay said he would check the social security law.
Atty. Delahay then discussed Daddyts Money liquor license. They want to
change the lease to a set amount instead of percentage, the proposal would mean
more money. It is separate from the liquor license. Councilman Ambarian said
the purpose of the City name on the license is:
a. It is a City-owned facility
b. Two tenant's ago, they tried to sell with our name on the license.
The ABC Board have told lessees the 10% fee makes us part owners, this is
wrong. Our name on the license protects our interest. The percentage of
the gross was an incentive to lessees to increase business. $25, fi00 'is only
one-half of the space, it could be increased, and the profits will increase.
Couneflman Abet noted we get 10% whether our name is on the license or not.
Councilman Ambarian said the liens against Eitel and Butter are holdin~ up
the lease with the new owners, but they are not against the City. Atty. Delahay
said the letter does not require Council action. Any control we can have over
the license is to the City*s benefit. Mayor O'Retlly asked Atty. Delahay to
check into the legality of the license. Councilman ~feasles asked of the City's
liability in a lawsuit. Atty. Delahay answered we are responsible for the oder-
ation if our name is on the license. Chief Ross exDlained, at Mayor O~Reillyts
request, that the license cannot be transferred, it must be at the airport.
Councilman Abet asked about liability. Chief Ross said we have insurance that
states we have liability as a bar-owner, l~'e are on the license, the building

lease is too flir-fetehed for liability.
Mayor O'Reilly discussed Cinderella St. The line is not a section line. The
property was sold without a survey or right-of-way. Mr. Brown tried to
contact the owners, but could not. The land lies under power lines, is
brushed out. The City went ahead with the project.
Mayor's Report

Mayor O'Reilly noted he would like to have the State's share of the funding as
mentioned by Pat Ryan be accelerated. He has written him a letter. Council-
woman Glick said the water study survey was discussed. The people who spoke
felt industry should pay for water needed, this duscussion was well-represented.

Councilwoman Glick said the Commission acknowledged receipt of the letter from
the anti-annexattou committee.
Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly

H~rbor Commission
Mayor OtReilly directed the administration to send a letter to Sea Catch. He
would like to have consultants prepare a report on rivers, regarding the small
boat harbor study. Councilman Ambarian noted the Borough Port & Harbor
study will have a rewrite of Kenal River problem by the Dec. 10 meeting.
He is concerned about a possible split between Harbor Commission efforts
and the Borough effort. He is not against the Harbor Commission effort, but
a cooperative effort would be better.
Councilman Abet said $5,000 can't do much, he will get a copy of the old
Dept. of Engineer's report. We cannot do anything about the river probler0s
with $5,000. Councilman Ambarian said he would like to meet with Bob
Peterkin and see. Mayor O'Reilly noted we should F. et with the State legislators
long before the session
Councilman Abet said the $600,000 available for development of harbors has
been there a long time. Mayor O'Reilly asked Atty. Delahay if the rooney
can be used for development. Atty. Delahay said he will check. Councilman
Abet said this was researched before, we need a feasibility study first.
Councilwoman Glick asked if this would include planning. Mayor OtReflly
said Councilman Ambartan will meet with Mr. Bigelow and Bob Peterkin, we
need a temporary plan. Councilman Abet said the govei;iiment would require
a study. Couneilman Ambarian said Mr. Bigelow is rewriting the study.
Mayor O'Reffiy discussed the Tract D, Roper proposal. He recommended it not
be approved. Councilwoman Olick said Mr. Roper has a lease on Tracts
BiC. He signed the rights over to Kenai Harbor Development, was this con-
sumated? Mayor O'Reilly replied the Harbor Commission is trying to keep
Traet D out of the Tracts B&C m'oblem.
Mayor O'Reilly directed the administration to send a letter to the federal gov-
ernment applying for Port of Entry status for Kenai.

Mayor O'Reilly discussed the Tract A I)roposal and suggested adminis-
tration get local firms to give cost estimates. Councilman Abet said he
doesn't want to, but it would cost more money piecemeal. Councilman
Ambarian asked that it be put on the next agenda so we can study it.
Two Harbor Commission members recently went to Seward for a meeting,
and there were some unused funds. They requested the Council to let them
use the balance to go to Cordova for a meeting with harbor officials there.
MOTION
Councilman Malston moved, seconded by Councilman Seaman to have the
Harbor Commission use the unused funds to ~o to Cordova.
Motion passed by roll call vote.
I. PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD
Ruby Coyle: The Harbor Commission should be commended for the direction
it is taking. We have been a first class City for 20 years, and nothing has been
done for the ~'iver and harbor area. We should go full speed ahead to develop
the r/vet, the Councils have not done their share.
She also mentioned the Water Resources Hearing to be held }.'londay night. As
we get indust~j,, we will need a water line. ~'e should push for this. There
was no concern shown for Schedule A in the report, we should object. If
they go above wells to give water to N. Kenai, the City will suffer, why not
go to the Kenai River and forget Sahedule A. Councilman Abet noted that
there is an ordinance that requires approval by the City to drill within the
City. Mrs. Coyle suggested the City should research this ordinance to see
ff we have rights to the water. Councilwoman Gliek said the meeting of
Dec. $ will go into this, then the Borough Assemby acts. If there is much
comment, there will be a second meeting. She asked Atty. Delahay to re-
search this ordinance.
Mayor O'Reilly said the letter from Glacier ,~tate will be discussed at the
Thursday night meeting, and asked the Clerk to notify Mr. tlamoton of the
meeting.

Carmen Gintoli, architect, spoke. He described the new City Hall. The
site is between Public Safety building and the library. The position is to
take advantage of the solar heat available. There are 49 parking spaces,
44 are required, parking for employees should be designated in back, for
their parking only. It is an open concept. The Council Chambers will
seat 78 people. There are handicapped toilets, Council suggested separate
toilets for the public. It is a steel structure, the exterior will be cement or
asbestos panel. It is maintenance-free. It is somewhat contemporary to
blend with the other two buildings, and is designed for a second floor in
the future. He will have cost calculations to ~ive Council for the extra
cost of the second floor. We can also expand to the sides and the rear.

Januar~ 1980. They are proposing a 25,000 sq. ft. convention center,
to serve performing and visual arts, museum and have oarking. It
must be backed by the Council, they hope the comn~unity will be part
of it. She knows oil2 groups that could use it, and at least 100 organ-
izations that could use it. Mayor O'Reflly asked if they were meeting
with the legislators. Mrs. Settle replied yes, at the same time as the
Chamber. Councflrn. an M~lston asked if she could meet with the Public
Works Committee, at their Tuesday night meeting. She replied yes.

wanted tho contract approved subject to approval by the City Manager.
If it was accepted, the Council would rake it subject to contract form
by Atty. Delahay. Atty. Delahay said $18,000 does not include inspect-
ion, but projected costs would bring this up to $28,000. It is up to
Council. Thc baste cost does not include inspection. Councilwoman
Olick said Public Works Committee had a meeting and reviewed the draw-
ings and maps with Phil B~yson. At that time they felt it was a good
figure, it was $18,000. They would like to see the engineering done.
The road is 'belay', they have had requests from landowners to repair.

members and the Planning g~ Zoning Committee for their work.
Motion passed by roll ceil vote.
Section 36, Development Plan
l~r, Thorpe spoke. He explained he was presenting a working draft.
He noted thoro is no procedure of purchaaiml in the City. ~o they have
gone to each department to get their priorities. They have a list of'
about 16 l~ad improvement projects, with no priority, lt~. is asking
the Council to review<and ~et priorities, deletions, dollar amount, etc.
Hc felt R.tg. Thorpe Assoc. could do this, but he thinks tho Council
should, in absence of a City Manap,',er. The Council has ~lready in-
dicated some matters of importance. ~.qayor O'Reilly asked him when he
will rctufll. Mr. Thorpe replied he will need to inow the ~vaflable
bonding. The next step is for Council to establish Oriorities, then
they will firm up. They would like it tn2-3 weeks, l~oyor O'Reflly
asked if we came back the 1st part of Jsnua.,'y, would that be okay?
Mr. Thorpe replied yes. Mayor O'lleilly askoxl Cnuncilwol~an Olick
if this was okay with the Planning & Zoning Comn~ittee. After sor, e
disctission, the Council decided to have a work session January 3, 1979
at ?: 00 PM in tho Public Safety Bldg, City Clerk was requested to
notify Council and Commissions of the meeting.

Thorpe reviewed thc methods of study. The m'ea is mostly residential.
Len Ziekler, of E.WoThorpe spoke. He explained the report, reviewing
easements, mineral rights, etc. lie said it involves $I1 acres of City-owned
land, 100 acres of Borough land. The primary restraint is the bluff
slough-off problem. Drainage is also a ~roblem.
Mr. Thorpe said they wanted n vegetation buffer off Snuff and at access
points. They want local engineer firm to keep costs of project down, to
see if public funds are needed or Just private. M..~or O'1leilly asked if
the Planning & Zoninl~, Commission could look et it tomorrow. 1~'. Thorpe
replied yes. Mayor O'Reilly asked what kind of ffuidanee they wanted.
Mr. Thor~e replied they Just wont to know if you feel it's workable, does
it make sense? ~ayor O'Reilly stated if it's too detailed, it won't sell,
and we'll be in t,'ouble. Mr. Thor~e al~'eed, tho. Borou~,h wanted ~
tailed layout, but he agrees that it shouldn't be that detailed yet. ~ayor
O'lleilly reiterated it should be as ffeneral as oosaible.

Mw/or O'Reilly asked for public comment.
Ruby Coyle said she thought we just for a section from the State for
schools. Councilman Ambarian said the City has 310 seres, the Borough
has the rest, that a patent is not a lease, l~.ayor O'Reilly further ex-
plained of the 310 acres, $0% is.usable, the balance is for roads~ or
240 apres. He asked Mr. Thorpe the estimated value of this. Mr.
Thorpe didn't know. Jerry Andrews said it depends on how the City
handles it, $3,000 an aero is in the "ballpark." Mayor O'Reilly asked
about the bluff property. Mr. Andrews said that was astronomical.
Mayor O'Reilly asked ff there was $1.5 million worth of property. Mr.
Andrews replied yes, with I0 acres of comr~ereisl. ~layor O'Reilly
asked Mr. Thorpe when does it go to Planning & Zoning. l~r. Thorpe
replied tomorrow. The Council decided with ~¢r. Bryson that it was
a work session, Councilwoman Gltck emphasized they wiU get guidance,
however.
Councilman Malston said in past discussions he got the impression the land
would be sold off in large parcels, l~ayor O'Reilly agreed, but until it is
settled, we will be ~nf~kled and dimed" to death, Mr. Thorpe said ff we
take a strong polic~ to make large lots, it can be an asset to the City. He
encouraged the City to keep it in large lots,
Ted Forsi arrived, so the Counoil returned to G-12, Request for proposal
from finns to seek FAA funds.
Mr. Forsi said we could get money to develop the apron from ff. overnment
funds. He would like to work with the Acting City Msnager and the Air-
port Operations Officer as a full-time lobby effort. ~ayor O'Reilly said
we found Mr. Brown and Mr. Swalley are awsre of funds ($144,000, FAA
money through the State). Rapport has been developed with the FAA.
If the Council finds more time is needed, they would like to contact him
in the future. Councilwoman Gliok said the FAA has a $60 million bud~ret,
but will receive $25 million. The airport ramp extension is not our #1
priority. We have four other requests, the electric generator is one,
the ramp extension is two. We have four I~'ants in, the Committee
prioritized them. Councilman Abet replied the FAA p~;iol'itizes also. lie
felt the airport ramp would be higher. Ultimately it the FAA's choice, not
ours. We should take our best shot. Councilwoman Olick said tho airport
ramp was 4th in submittal too. She concurs with the Mayor. Mr. Forsi
stated the FAA does prioritize, and the ramp is a high priority. The fish-
flying season will be here soon. Mayor O'Reflly said tho City received a
letter saying there are no funds for an apron. Can this be reversed? Mr.
Forsi replied he can't guarantee, but we should try. Councfln~an Abet said
the FAA is very aware of the problem, they were here last summer. We
KENAI CITY COUNCIL - REGULAR ~/fEETING
De~ember 5, 1979
Page 10
are in competition with air carriers like Anchorage, Juneau, etc. The
money is there for us, but does not have to cowe here. Mr. Forsi said "'
we are competing with large amounts in small towns. We have a major
airport in a developing area, instead of a village area. We can compete.
Councilman Abet noted that it is well worth spending the money, pursu~
ing grants and talking to the riffht people does pay off. Councilwoman
Gltck said she is also concerned with the airport, if we want a lobbying
effort, we should go o~t for more proposals. Councilman Abet asked if
we kept out a contract tonight because it was without bids. l~r. Brown
~xplalned that administration was directed to do that. Councilman Am-
barian asked Mr. Forsi if he had a proposal in mind. Mr. Forsi replied
no more than $I, 000, then he will come back to Council, if more is needed.
During that time he will work with the administration. Councilman }.ialston
noted it could be very worth while. He didn't care if it went to bid or not,
but it should be done. Councilman Ambarian asked what the rate would be.
Mr. lox'si replied $45 an hour, and he would come back if more is needed.
MOTION:
Councilman Ambarian moved, seconded by Councilman Abet, to authorize
Forai & Associates to pursue the effort to obtain p;overnment funds to develop
the airport apron. They are to work with administration at $45 an hour,
with a review after 10 hours.
Motion passed with Councilwoman Gliek voting no.
Mayor O'Reilly asked Mr. Forsi what fin e criteria does FAA use. Mr. Forsi
said FAA is Just people, if they have communication, they work better.
Councilman Abet said ow priorities will not coincide with FAA, Could we
be flexible with our priorities so we don't have to come back to Council?
Mayor O'Reilly asked Finance Director Brown where we would get the
moneys. Mr. Brown said he would have to check. Councilwoman Gltck
said at the Airport Commission meeting it was noted the extension would
not be completed by this year. Again, the generation is more important.
Councilman Abet replied true, it has been needed for many years. Can't
we be flexible enough that if FAA won't take the generator, we can propose
the ramp. Councilman Ambarian said we shouldn't prioritize, but we
should get Forsi started.
H-I City Manager's Report
Mr. Brown reported on the change to P, lue Cross insurance, l'?e have
changed almost oil of our insurance policics in the past year. If Council

Use of the Public Safety Building: Mr. Brown has submitted a draft of a
letter setting priorities on use of the building, he feels the Public Safety
people should know where they're at. Councilm,n Ambarian stated it is
in the Code, Council should not have 2nd prior!ry. ~r. Brown a~t'eed,
he said the other meetings are the Droblew. ~ayor O'Reilly asked if we
need a motion. Mr. Brown said he doesn't want to set policy, but a policy
should be set. Mayor O'Reflly replied the policy is - the Council meets
here, all others meet on an available basis. ~.ouneflman Ambarian said he
agrees it's a pain, but we're so close to having our own building, we can
wait. But we should adhere to the 35 persons limit. Councilman Abet
asked if a large number use the building. Mr. Brown was not sure. }1ayor
O'Reilly said we should try to get Et resolved. Are there any problems with
the present policy? Councilman Ambarian said if there were no problems,
we wouldn't have to talk about it. We did have 3 buildings, but we have been
shoved into one building by special interest groups. Mayor O'Reflly asked
ff this would solve the problem, if we don't pass this draft, what would
happen? Mr. Brown said we would be where we have been. It would be
slot aleaner if we have a priority system.
Counofl took no action.

PEP, SONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED TO BF. HEARD
Carmen Gintoli spoke on the Senior Citizen's Center schematics. He is up-
ffrading the emergency effresa on the 2nd floor putting a stairway to improve
the 1st floor emergency exit. Cost estimate is $42,000, $49,400 is in the
budget. It will be wood frame, with horizontal siding to blend with the
logs. Logs are too expensive. They already have a kiln purchased.
l~.ouncflman Ambarian said he thought he understood Betty Warren said the
office was included. Mr. Gintoli said she never mentioned it to him. ~ ~$
far as he knows, they Just wanted a ceramic studio. Councilman Abet asked
why an all-weather wood foundation was used instead of cement. }.Ir. Gintoli
said it very good and it is cheaper. A wood floor is more comfortable for
older people, but is more expensive. So he r~ade up the difference with a
wood foundation.
Sondra HeinFIchs spoke on the Child Care for low income families. She has

gone to the Borough, the Borough Attorney suffF, ested she come to the City,
the Borough would be too slow. The Anchorage people are willing to come'.
down, but they must be invited by the City. We only have till the end of
the month.
Mayor OtReflly asked ff it would be fox' people who eannot afford day care
costs. Ms. Heinrtchs said yes, it is on a sliding scale. As they can afford
it, they pay more. Mayor O'ReiHy asked if we have people in this situation
now. Ms. Heinriehs said yes. Mayor O'Reilly asked ff the City has to be
responsible. Ms. Heinrich said she is not sure. A letter from the State said
it is better for the Borough to be responsible, but the Borough is not will-
inK. The Borough said the City could start it, and the Borough could take
over. Councilman Ambarian noted the City would have to do the books and
handle the program. We would be subject to audits, we would have to have
someone handle it. Ms. Heinrichs said it would be Hmited, but it would be
on a Borough-wide basis. Mayor O'Reilly asked if she had an estimate of
the totals in the Borough and the City of those involved. Ms. Heinrichs
~'eplied about half here and half in Soldotna. Mayor O'Reilly asked if the
Soldotna day-care centers have the same problem. Ms. Heinrichs said
she didntt know. Councilman Ambarian said even if the City was receptive,
we don't know the Cityts involvement. He doesn't like to have the City start
a program and the Borough take over. It is no good. Councilman Abet
asked if the program was fully funded. Ms. Heinrich~replied only when
the parent pays on a sliding scale. But the checks would have to go through
the City. The Day Cave centers lose funds ff it is not done ri~,ht. Councilman
Abet said we need more information before December 19, 1979. ~s. Heinrichs
said the material had been sent to the City. Mayor Otlleilly asked if a fresh
supply of material could be sent to the City for distribution and we will dis-
cuss at the December 19, 1979 weeting.
Mr. Gintoli asked if he had to submit a bill for paywent on his contract. Mr.
Brown replied yes.

the city limits boundry on the North Road. I submit this request to you
because the probable amount of taxes I will be required to pay, according to
the past years rates, would be too much money to pay to the city to live in
my own home. I feel approximately $400 per month for taxes would be too
much to pay even if ! received all the services the city has involved them-
selves in.an effort to furnish. Even if the city did provide us with any of
the services that are associated with city proper areas, the value would in
no way approch the cost which would be involved to provide these services.
I, as a home owner, would not want the service because it would cost me 400~
more for the city to provide them than w~t I could provide them for myself,
along with what is already provided through existing tax cost service areas
that I am otherwise entitled to.
Since we do not have, and do not receive any of the services that we would
be taxed special for, because of the City of Kenat development and expansion
efforts, we should not be taxed differently than our neighbors who live less
than a quarter of a mile away and pay 1/3 the amount of taxes.
I subktt this letter to the City Council-because it is you who are entrusted
with both the leadership and responsibility to your fellow men and public to
protect us against city operations and management ambitions. I feel embar-
rassed that the local government would extract that much money from a family
to live in their own home regardless of means.
This request most certainly has to be given soma in-depth consideration
because it is my feeling that we cannot allow an inequity of high cost for
low value to continue. These unequal value exchanges, which are forced on
taxpayers by governmental bodies, are the only seeds from which our economical
problems have developed. I can't see why our leadership has to try to make

Dear ~ir. Pitts:
This letter is submitted in compliance with the terms of the
Service Contract Agreement, dated l~ovember 28, 1978, between the
State of Alaska Department of Community and Regional Affairs and
Touche Ross & Co. The purpose of our work was to estimate the total
amount of Alaska income taxes paid by:
1. Recipients of the Day Care Assistance Program.
2. Providers of day care on funds received under the program.
Our conclusions, underlying assumptions, and a summary of our
procedures are presented below. ~'e would be pleas(:d to meet with
you and discuss further any of tile it(.-ms contained herein.
RECIPIENTS:
Procedures and assumption8 -
l/e h~,ve computed the estimated State of Alaska income taxe~
which would be paid by recipients qualify~ng under the day care
assistance pro,ram on income earned by thom during the period
July 1, 1977 through June 30, ~978, u~tltzing information available
within the records of the Department and under the assumption out-
lined heretnalter. The estimate ts ba~ed upon a statistically
derived sample, without replacement, from the population oi 1,344
recipients qualifying for the program dueing this period.
unit estimation techniques were applied to the smnple selected.
The following assumptions were used In analy~ing the sample and
thc conclusion shutJld be- con:;idcrud withi, n th[~ context.
1. The monthly incom~ of recipients, as rtated on the applica-
tion, would remain com~tant and the a~lIltlalizl~,J income of'~he recipi-
ent based on this i nform~ttion would approximat,~ ~ross income for tax

3. Recipients ~ualifying under the program would utilize the
standard d~duction and State of Alaska tax tables in computing State
of Alaska ~ncome taxes.
4. The records maintained by the Department of Community and
Regional Affairs accurately document the marital status, number of
exemptions and income of the recipient.
5o Earnings of the recipient subsequently taxed by the State
of Alaska are a direct result of the assistance received under the
Day Care Assistance Program.
Conclusion -
Based upon the sample of the population, consistent with the
assumptions stated above, the application of the statistical for-
mula results in a 959 certainty that the recipients of the Day Care
Assistance Program would pay to the State of Alaska through state
income taxation, $326,600, plus or minus $13,000.
PROVIDERS:
Procedures and assumptions -
In addition, we have estimated tile amount of State of Alaska
income tax tliat would be paid by the day care providers on funds
received under the program. This estimate was not statistically
determined and is computed based upon the average tax rate for each
group of providers, under the following assumptions:
1. The amount paid to providers during the period July 1, 1977
tfirougb June 30, 1078 is comparable to a given taxable period.
2. Providers of day care as$Istanc~; t'eprtfsont a cross section
of taxpayers in the State of Alaska, and receive income from source~
other than the Day Care Assistance Program, and therefore the
average income for residents of the State of Alaska is a reasonable
approximation of income for the providers.
3. The average annual income, based on the Alaska Department
of Labor Statistical Quarterly for the fourth quarter of 1977, is
approximately $21,400. This would result in taxable income (assum-
Ing u:~e of the standard d(:duction) of approximately $19,000 and a
marginal tax rate, for married p,:rsons filing jointly, of 5.5%. The
tax rate has been rounded to 67, ($20,000 to .$24,000 taxable income
bracket) for e-~timatt, on purpo.~es.
4. The r~.cords maintained by the Department of Community and
Regional Affairs accurately refl,:ct paymo, nts to the providers.
The estimate is %used upon the following calculation, which
includes a'~ummary of information provided to us for this purpose by
the Departme,qt; we have not attempted to determine thc accuracy of
the Department's records with regard to the payments to providers,

Conclusion -
The estimate of State of Alaska income taxes, consistent with
the above assumptions, indicates that approximately $57,000 of State
of Alaska income tax would be paid as a result of funds provided by
the Day Care Assistance Program.

Ernest Schlereth, City Attorney

RE:
June 4, 1979
Day Care Assistance Program
The City was asked by Beaver Loop Day Care Center to
apply for a grant from the State for day care funds which
would be funneled through the Beaver Loop Day Care Center to
be used to subsidize low income families who could not
afford day care services.
A brief description of the state' program is as follows:
Under A.S. 44.47.250-310, the State authorizes grant
funds to be used tO subsidize licensed day care centers to
make it possible .for low income families to obtain day care
services they would not otherwise be able to afford. In
order to involve local government, the plan was designed to
be administered through the Department of Regional and
Community Affairs.
Under statute the local government may receive the
grant funds, which funds must be used solely for the purpose
of aiding iow income families by reimbursing local state-
approved day care facilities who service these qualified low
income families.
The cost of administering the program (that is, the
cost involved in funneling these funds to qualified day care
facilities,) must be borne ~olely by the local governing
body.
The local governing body may subcontract the adminis-
trative duties to another private agency, but maintains the
ultimate responsibility for administering the funds.
June 4, 1979
Page 2
Day Care Assistance Program
Under the plan considered by the City of Kenai and
Beaver Loop Day Care Center, two apparent anomalies exist.=
First off, ~he City wishes to restrict participation in
the program to City residents only. Thus, only those low
income families within the Kenai City limits may use day
care centers in Kenai at a reduced rate.
The Department of Community and Regional Affairs d6es
not oppose this limitation. It condones this limitation
imposed by local government on the theory that since the
local government is bearing the cost of administering the
program, it may logically restrict participation to all
residents of the community.
The second anomoly is that the City of Kenai, in fact,
will not bear any administrative costs at all (as contemplated
by the State statute). Rather, Beaver Loop Day Care Center
has offered to administrate the program free of'charge to
the City of Kenai.
The Department of Community and Regional Affairs also
does.not oppose this arrangement. Their policy is that in
smaller communities where trained administrative personnel
may not be available, it is acceptable to have a day care
center (as long as it has qualified personnel) to administer
funds a part or all of which the center will ultimately
receive itself as reimbursement for servicing Iow income day
care applicants.
(Note that in its manual for describing the day care
grant fund program, the Department of Community & Regional
Affairs, points out that conflicts of interest should be
avoided by separating the actual grant funds from the adminis-
tration of those funds, however, as pointed out above, the
Department is willing to make an exception to this rule.)
Initially, from a legal standpoint, it appears that the
City of Kenai will be increasing its vulnerability to legal
liability. It will be placed in the position of being
responsible for large sums of money which the City will have
no accountability for through its accounting department.
That money will be handled by an organization (Beaver Loop
June 4, 1979
Page 3
Day Care Assistance Program
Day Care Center) which will have no accountability to the .;
City of Kenai, as they are not employed by the City. Addi-
tionally, it even can be argued that Beaver Loop Day Care
Center will have'no contractual liability to the City
because there is no consideration for the services they
intend to perform. Beaver Loop Day Care Center is offering
to administer the program free of charge for the City of
Kenai.
The Department of Community & Regional Affairs informs
us, however, that they do have a staff that keeps watch over
the ad~ministrating agency-in fact, checking its books once
a month. This may tend to make the City's position less
vulnerable especially if vigorous standards are imposed
insuring that Beaver Loop Day Care Center has the maximum of
qualified personnel and equipment to handle the Job.
However, in my opinion, it would not be advisable for
the City of Kenai to apply for the Day Care grant funds
under these conditions since it will entrust funds and
duties to a non-City agency over which the City has no
control. The desirability of having state-funded day care
centers for low income families is far outweighed by the
negative factors of possible burdensome litigation resulting
from City-controlled funds being handled by an agency over which
the City has no control or close supervision.
Sincerely,
Ernest $chlereth

X. INTRODUCTION
This manual is intended to familiarize local public officials, agencies
and interested citizens with the Alaska Day Care Assistance Program.
It also serves as a procedural guide which explains the steps to
follow to obtain assistance under this program.
The Alaska Day Care Assistance Program is administered by the Divi-
sibn of Community and Rural Development of the Department of Community
and Regional Affairs. The Department will contract with local govern-
ments to operate the program in their own communities.
All inquiries about this program should be directed to:
Child Care Program Coordinator
Division of Community and Rural
Development
Department of Community and
Regional Affairs

Anchorage, Alaska 99501
(907) 279-3462
II. PURPOSE AND GOALS OF THE PROGRAM
The State law creating the Alaska Day Care Assistance Program, AS.44.
47.250 - 310, was passed in the 1975 legislative session. The Act
gave responsibility for administration of the program to the Department
of Community and Regional Affairs in the hope of encouraging local
government participation in the delivery of day care services. The
Department of Community and Regional Affairs will contract with local
communities for direct program administration in order tO allow as
much local flexibili=y as possible while assuring that the require-
ments of the law are met.
The purpose of the State program is to assist low income parents or
guardians who are working or training to pay the costs of licensed
day care. The program att~-mpts to help eliminate the cost of day
care as a factor which prevents parents or guardians from becoming
self-supporting. It is anticipated that many low income parents or
guardians who ordinarily could not afford the full cost of day care
will have the opportunity to work or attend school when they would
otherwise be unable to do so. In addition, day care in licensed
facilities will becom~ available to children previously left unattended
or without adequate supervision while their parents were at work.
It is not the purpose of this program to provide free day care to
all qualifying for assistance. Current funding does not permit the
State to subsidize all eligible families; therefore, lower income
families will be given priority. Subsidy grants are available
to communities where licensed day care facilities are available for
State assisted children. The responsibility of the State or its
local program agent does not include securing a space for a particular
child in a licensed facility of the parent's choice. Rather, the
responsibility for obtaining a satisfactory licensed space remains
with the eligible parent or guardian.
III. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
State day care program funas will be allocated to local governments
that contract to operate the propramin their own communities for
subsidy payment made tO licensed ~ay care providers. All local
costs of program a~lm!nistration, including such expenses as office
space, eq~pment, and staff time spent on program functions must
be borne b~ l~-c~' c6mmuni'Eie's and are under n~ ~ircumstances reim-
bursable.
Local communities interested in the program may apply to the Depart-
ment 4e~onstrating the need for a local day care subsidy program,
the existence of adequate local licensed day care facilities to
serve State funded children, a local commitment, and administra-
tive capability to operate the program. Upon allocation of funds
and agreement upon program operations, contracts will be established
delineating local and departmental responsibilites in the adminis-
tration of the program.
A participating government may choose to administer the program
directly, and is urged to do so. However, the Department realizes
that extinuating circumstances might exist in smaller or rural
co~n~nities which would make it necessary for the community to sub-
contract for another appropriate local agency or group to perform
lo¢al administrative functions. These functions include: outreach,
screening of applicants, eligibility determination, authorization,
payment to providers, and monthly reporting. If a community opts to
subcontract for administration, it must request from and obtain the
written approval of the Department to subcontract prior to execution
of the subcontract. Prior approval by the Department is required if a
commUnity opts to ~ubcontract or change the subcontractor whom the
Department has previously approved after a grant is made. Violation
of this provision will result in immediate termination of th~ contract
and grant.
It is the intent of the Department that every available mean~ shall
be used by con~unities to ensure that all interested persons are
made aware that proposals for subcontraotors are being encouraged
and accepted for the Day Care Assistance Program administration.
Therefore, any community requesting permission to subcontract must
include details on how it plans to implement such broad public
advertising in their request.

C. ~o~ ~ pay Care Assistance Grant Is Made
A day care assistance grant is made after careful study of
each application. Your request is evaluated with all other
day care grant applications on the basis of: need for day
care for low income working or training families, licensed
day care capacity, administrative capability of the local
program agency, and the commitment of the local government
to assume those local costs necessary for effective admin-
istration of a community day care program.
Upon approval, the Division of Community and Rural Development
will mail a grant award notification to you. The Department
and the lo¢al government will enter into a contractual agree-
ment. The contract will clearly define the functions that the
community will perform both in relationship to day care facil-
ities and recipients and to proper re~orting procedures to the
Department.

The contractor shall utilize the differential subsidy
scale established by the Departmen= for that community
as a basis for determination of client eligibility for
State day care a~sistance funds. This scale shall be
applied to the adjusted net income of the client to
determine a range of subsidy for which hu or she is'
eligible. The contractor may determine the final per-
centage of subsidy for the particular client from within
that. range based upon considerations of such factors
(13)
10.
as: unusually large medical, funeral or other family
expenses, indebtedness, personal property, short term
emergency needs and number of children.
The adjusted net income o£ the client shall be arrived
at by taking the gross income per year and subtracting
the following:
a. Federal income tax,
:
b. State of Alaska income tax,
c. State of Alaska education tax,
d. Social Security taxes (FICA),
e. retirement,
f. unemployment insurance contributions, and
g. mandatory union dues or agency fees.
In addition, for the number of children in the family
greater than one, deduct $1,200 per child from the
income figure.
Consideration of other factor~ the contractor or appli-
cant deems to be relevent in eligibility detenmination shall
require written approval by the D~vision of Community
and Rural Development Child Care Programs Coordinator.
Eligibility determination shall be made prior to delivery
of services.
Applicants or recipients may appeal denial or termina-
tion of eligibility for day care subsidy to the Director,
Division of Community and Rural Development, Department
of Community and Regional Affairs, for initial hearing,
and thereafter according to applicable provisions in the
Alaska Administrative Code.
The contractor shall review the day care needs and the
eligibility of each program recipient at least every
three months. A minimum of two (2) weeks notice must
be given to any recipient prior to termination of day
care assistance when the recipient continues to meet
eligibility criteria.

Local agencies shall establish procedures to verify appli-
cant's statements regarding eligibility certification.
Copies of verification should be attached to the client's
file.

their child, and,
b. who are determined "eligible" under the provisions
of the Act and Departmental and local guidelines.

completion of the standard Community and Regional Affairs
billing and reporting forms.
It is the responsibility of the contractor to make prompt
payment to providers within 15 working days of receipt
of properly completed Day Care Facility Billing and Report-
ing Forms.
The contractor shall make payments only to licensed day
care facilities.
Day Care payments shall be made to providers only for author-
ized hours and on an attendance basis only.
Attendance shall be calculated on the basis'of five hour
blocks of time for payment and reporting purposes. Part
time care is defined as care for up to five hours in a
24 hour period; full time care is care for moro than
five hours through ten hours in a 24 hour period. More
than ten hours in a 24 hour period shall be paid at the
rate of one full day block plus $1.40 per hour for each
hour over 10 hours a day. The maximum rates that shall
~e authorized for any day care facility for the care of
State program children are as follows: for infant care;
part time - $9.00 per infant daily, full time - $15.00

daily, more than full time - a maximum of $19.00 per
child daily. Exceptions may be made to the above pay-
ment limitations only to pay for exceptional children
defined for these purposes as children who because of
physical, mental, or emotional disabilities require
special care for those hours they spend in a day care
facility. The above maximum rates are appropriate and
it is expected that for the next year most center and
family day care home rates will fall within this ceiling.
The contractor shall inform the appropriate day care
provider immediately of any change in the status of
terms of subsidy of a client.
The contractor shall assure that a new authorization
form is filled out and signed by all parties everytime
that there is a change in authorized hours for 4ay care,

any instance of day care facilities making extra charges
to program clients to the Division of Community and
Rural Development, Child Care Programs Coordinator.
The contractor shall regularly receive from the regional
office of the Division of Social Services of the Depart-
ment of Health and Social Services current information
regarding licensed day care facilities in the community.
This information should be used to maintain a current
card file of day care providers and the current rates
charged by providers. In those municipalities who have
assumed the power of day care licensing, the contractor
should coordinate with the proper licensing agent.
The contractor is responsible for regularly reviewing
the provider file to flag facilities whose licenses are
due to lapse. On or before the expiration date, the
contractor shall begin contacting the appropriate licens-
ing authority to determine the status of those licenses
and whether action shall be taken either to review the
licenses or issue interim provisional licenses.
It is the contractor's responsibility to remove all refer-
ences to a day care facility from the ~rovider card file
two weeks after the date that the license expired if
that agency has not been notified by the appropriate
licensing authority of a renewal of the license or issu-
ance of an interim provisional license.
It is the contractor's ~esponsibility not to authorize
payment fo__r day ~r~ s_crvices ~sa facility b__eyond two
(16)
27.
weeks after the expiration date on the license. However,
before subsidy is suspended for children in that facility
at the end of the two week period, the contractor shall
contact the appropriate licensing authority to ascertain
that notification of a renewal or provisional license
for such facilities has not been lost in the mail.
Should a day care facility fail to maintain its license,
the contractor shall then inform parents or guardians
of State a~sisted children in that facility that they
must place their child in another licensed home or center
or cease to receive State assistance. Every effort shall
be made to secure satisfactory and timely alternative
day care facilities in such cases.
28.

to the Department in such form and containing such inform-
ation as the Director of the Division of Community and

may enter in agreements with public or private entities
to provide support serv¢ies such as in-sexvic~ training
or technical assistance to day care homes or centers
in program areas such as nutrition, health, child growth
and development, educational guidance, and re~edial tech-
niques. Such support services, when provided, should
be coordinated with that provided by the staff of the
Division of Social Services.

If special circumstances in a community are deemed to
warrant it, a contractor may apply for a waiver to any
of the above provisions (non-statutory) by submitting
appropriate justification to the Division of Community
and Rural Development Child Care Programs Coordinator.

(community DSS) shall be established by the Department
and shall incorporate within it adjustments for cost
of living within that community. The cost of laving
factor applied will be that utilized by the State in

Development with data prescribed by the Department to
substantiate their claim.

SUMMARY STATEMENT CULTURAL/CIVIC CENTER FOR KENAI
The need for a Cultural/Civic Center in Kenai has been recognized for many years.
A bond issue was passed in lg71 addressing this need, but due to diverse
circumstances at City and State levels, funds were never available for this
purpose, leaving citizens with a library only.
Needs as presently assessed include:
1. An Auditorium
2. A Museum
3. A Visual Arts Area
4. Meeting Rooms
Present facilities in Kenai are either non-existent or physically inadequate and/
or technically outmoded.
Performing Arts
Currently, Kenai Central High School Gymnasium is used for most performing arts
presentations, with scheduling a major problem since this facility is used for
competitive sports events, practice schedules, and conmunity adult recreation.
For performing arts groups, acoustics are inadequate, proper lighting is
impossible, and seating for the audience is back-breaking. Performances must
be scheduled far in advance, and often require last-minute re-shuffling with on-
going school activities. The Little Theatre at the high school accomodates only
140 people, which makes it useless for visiting performing groups, since our
audience in attendance is usually in excess of 300 people. Last year, eleven
performances were scheduled in the high school gym by Central Peninsula Concert
Association, with attendance at one performance exceeding 700 people.
The Kenat Performers have been inactive because of lack of performance art facilities.
The Peninsula Dancers continue to present an annual performance in spite of lack of a
theatre.
It is planned that a medium-sized theatre with fixed seats for 600 people adjoin a
flat-floor "forum" area with telescoping mechanized seat banks capable of holding
an additional 400 people. This multi-purpose pavillion could be used for banquets,
group conferences, trade shows, art fairs, dinner theatre, and square dancing. A
caterer's kitchen enables this area to be used for a variety of public functions,
even at the same time the theatre is being used in the adjacent area. A moveable
wall unit would close off this multi-purpose area from the auditorium visually as
well as acoustically.
The Museum
At the present time, there is no museum in Kenat. Heritage items are on display in
the Senior Citizen Center, upstairs in the Old Fort Kenay Building. It is inadequate
in size (approximately 700 square feet), is not adequately protected with fire
humidity controls and safekeeping of irreplaceable articles is in constant jeopardy.
Floor space is so inadequate there that donations of museum pieces and artifacts is
impossible at this time, there is simply no place to put them. This make-shift
Summary Statement Cultural/
Civic Center for Kenai (Cont'd)
Page 2
December 12, 1979
The Museum .~o.nt'd)
museum is housed jointly with the Senior Citizen Coordinator, who occupies part of
the floor space. It is not accessible by ramp by handicapped persons, although
there is a lifter for Senior Citizens to be hoisted from the center below. However,
when the downstairs room is closed, an exterior stairway is the only way to reach
the upstairs area. Kenat is such a historic place, a museum would offer both residents
and visitors alike a glimpse into the past as well as providing a safe place for
heritage objects.
Vigual Arts
The Kenat Fine Arts Center (the old City Firehall) is presently available for use by
cultural groups. Fourteen arts and crafts workshops were held there during the past
year, involving both children and adults. A gallery is open throughout they ear, but
since the gallery space is needed for art classes, this presents the problem of
shifting standards, re-hanging pictures, and re-structuring for every activityL
However, this is not the major problem, the building is uninsulated and is extremely
cold during winter months when it is needed most. The pottery room is also extremely
cold, is not equipped with a sink and is not properly vented for firing pottery. In
spite of these adverse conditions, there is a waiting list of people in the co~nuntty
who want to take pottery classes.
Benefit to C,o~untty
Employment and business opportunities would increase by doubling the potential
visitor tourism business and extending the season.
Opportunities to attract plays, concerts, art shows and specific talent to the
con, unity would expand.
The economic stimulus due to increased revenues from gatherings such as conventions
would help defray maintenance and operation costs of the civic center.
Economic long-term gains would be evidenced if new industries felt that our
coanunitywas a more desirable place to live, work, and play. Thus, the center
would be an investment in the future.
Maintenance and Staffing After Construction
The City intends to appoint a board of trustees from non-profit organizations in
the community to name or create a non-profit organization to operate the facility.
Revenues from activities will accrue to this non-profit organization to be available
for maintenance, staffing and programming costs of the facility.
The City of Kenai accepts the ultimate responsibility of maintaining the facility.
Should revenues from activities be insufficient to operate the facility, the City
will provide funds as necessary to assure continued operation.

Fire Department Rescue Vehicle
The resolution regard/nE the rescue vehicle rejects the bids received.
Both bids exceed our budget by so~e ~9,000 to $10,000,
As ! reported earlier, theFederal. Revenue Shat/n8 (I~S) Fund has
available through Juae'30, 1980 approx/~ately $334,000. Ordinance
~ 533-79 appropriated ~306,750. This leaves about 827,250. (! suggest
that this is a minibus figure: indications are that our lqLS this year
may be about $20,0.0~,,' higher-than ! had origiaaLly estt_~a_ted.)
As I see it, the Cpuncil has two choices:
1) Fail the resolution and make a motion to accept one of the
bids. If this is done, there must be aa understanding that
a further appropriation of FRS Funds of $9,000 to $10,000
~rll! be approved, or
2) Pass the resolution and ditect the ¥ire Chief to search for
a lighter vehicle that can be obtained for $20,000. He has
indicated that he should be able to 8et a standard 2 ~O, 3/4
ton vith generator and utility box for that amount. See
his memo to me dated December 13, 1979 for more information.

My only comment would be that the price seems to be escalating
on a weekly basis as both bids are only valid for 15 days; we
do need a vehicle of this caliber. If we down grade our speci-
fication to get a lower price, we will have to forfeit many of
the rescue type capabilities, such as four-wheel-drive, winch,
flood lights and generator, (a smaller, lighter vehicle would
not have the load carrying capacity).

From:
Subject:
December 11, 1979
Mayor and City Council
Charles A. Brown, Finance Director C~
Council Meeting of December 19, 1979
(1). NEW CITY HALL:
Now that design work for the New City Hall has begun, we need to
establish, as best we can, the funding sources. The best estimates
I have at this time show the cost of the building, site development,
and road, water, and sewer extension as follows:
Road, Water,
Building Site and Sewer Total
General Fund
$698,000 $42,000 $75,000 $815,000
Bond Money(Health Ctr) 112,000
TOTALS ..... $8.10,000
...... 120,000
$75,000 $935,000
General Fund Source:
Reserve for Capital Improvements:
Balance $ June 30, lg7g ............................ $400,348
Less Shop Transfer ................................ .<37,500~
Expected addition 197g-80 (1/3 sales tax) ......... i..362,667
$725,~15
Thus, to June 30, 1980, we may be $90,000 short. If we assume
the 1980-81 sales tax will be about the same, another Sgo,ooo
should be added in the quarter July - September lgSO.
Bond Money Source:
The Health Center and a proportionate share of lobby and restroems
may be charged to bond money. There are about $335,000 in this fund.
It would appear the funding for the Health Center portion is, therefore,
available. I have yet to receive data from the Civic Center Committee
on their needs.
The point here is that the Council needs to fully understand that other
bond monies (water, sewer, streets) are nearly gone. The reserve for
Capital Improvements (1/3 of sales tax} is to be used for capital
expenditures as the Council sees fit. There are many demands for
this money: Water, Sewer, and Street Improvements, Fire Substation,
Warm Storage (should this not be approved by ADAP),etc.. If we use
all of our reserve monies for the City Hall, the reserve will not
From Charles A. Brown
Bond Money Source (Cont'd)
start being replenished again until the Fall of 1980. I can then
see no funding source for any other projects of any size, until
the sun,her of I981.
One solution would be to have authorized $800,000 of G/O Bonds to
build a City Hall.' I talked with Dave Rose of the Alaska Municipal
Bond Bank, and he sees no problem with either the project or the
City's financial capabilities.
The annual debt service payment over 20 years at 9% on $800,000 is
$87,637. The City has two debt service funds now of any size: 1967
and 1974 refunding;
The 1974 refunding is supported by 1/3 sales tax and special assessments.
These funding sources are adequate now and will be more than adequate by
1983 when the annual payment drops from about $400,000 to $300,000. The
1967 issue is supported by transfers from water and sewer and an interest
income dedication. Last year, these sources produced $358,353 of revenues
in excess of debt service requirements. Therefore, the funding for a new
bond issue (City Hall) can be accomplished through the interest revenue,
an existing source.
(2) General Fund Contingency:
The contingency account is now $8,600 (original amount at July l, 1979
was $30,000). We have been presented with another bill for attorney
fees that is approximately $3,500 that will require another transfer.
This leaves $5,100. This means we will have used 83~ of our contingency
in less than 6 months. Historically, the need for contingency funds has
been in the second half of the year when accounts get low. While I am
not judging the need for the items for which money is transferred, it
does seem to me that we should give greater consideration to using
contingency monies for emergency items rather than items that were simply
not planned on or budgeted at July l, 1979.
A list of General Fund Transfers follows:
Resolution # Department Amount
79-102 Fire-Painting $1,500
79-111 Animal Control 700
79-117 Streets(signs) 6,000
79-151 Harbor Con~nission 650
79-154 Legal(prof. svs.) 4,000
79-160 Streets{repair) 5,000
79-164 Various Conmunications 2,050
7g-166 Legal-Transportation 1,500_
(3) Personnel Ordinance:
,-,~,,,v.. .......... ~., & City
From Charles A. Brown
Page 3
Personnel Ordinance (Cont'd)
The personnel ordinance states that "No such temporary assignment shall
exceed six (6) months."
On December 20, 1979, my 6 months as Acting City Manager will expire.
The Council should, on December 19, 197g, appoint a new Acting City
Manager, assuming a permanent one is not on board by then.
The City Attorney interprets this to mean that I could be re-appointed.

Dear Mr. Brown:
This letter will confirm our telephone 'conversation of December
11, 1979, concerning the Kenai Motor Vehicle Office.
The State will terminate the commission contract for motor vehicle
services on January 31, 1980, and will assume operation of the office
on February 1, 1980. I would like to thank you and your employees
for the excellent service the City has provided for this division over
the years. It has been beneficial to both of us, as well as the
citizens of Kenai.
There will be some coordination required in the change-over to assure
that there is no unnecessary interruption of the service. James
Brandon, Field Services Hanager, will be contacting you and Bobb£ to
arrange the details of this coordination.
If you have any questions or problems with this matter, please feel
free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Charles R. Hosack

What's Happening Report for City Council Meeting
December 19, 1979
WELL HOUSE 101 RENOVATION
There was an inspection held on ~ell House 101 on December 6,
1979 at 10 a.m. After working on the Well House all morning
it was decided that there were too many items still left
uncomplete for a final inspection. A new final inspection
has been set for December 17, 1979 at 10 a.m. The problems
that have arisen at the Well House are electrical problems
requiring some time and effort by the electrical subcontractor.
AIRPORT PARKING LIGHTING
HEA installed 8 of the 10 lights and are still waiting for
shipment on a backorder of fixtures before completing the
installation of the other two lights near Daddy's Money.
AIRPORT WAY - WATER, SEWER.~ AND STREET
Jackson Garland Excavating finished the repair to the waterline
which broke on Airport Way, but there are still some items
that remain to be done before this project is complete. These
items include:
1. Sewer caps are on but they have not poured the concrete.
2. There is a valve plug in the shut position that they had
installed.
3. The asphalt needs to be replaced where they repaired the
waterline break.
PR~S has turned in the Contractor's Release forms on the project
and asked for $2,200 rctainage. This has not been placed on the
agenda for this upcoming meeting because it is still in the review
process to what direction Administration will take on his recommendation.
The City Attorney also needs to review this.

REGULATIONS SETTING NEW FEES FOR ANIbtAL CONTROL SttELTER
Title 3, Section 3.05.080 of the Code states that the Chief
Animal Control Officer may promulgate regulations necessary
convenient to the administration of this Title including but
not limited to Item No. 4 establishing fees and charges as
authorized by this Title. The Animal Control Officer plans
to set new fees for the Animal Control Shelter starting
January I, 1980. If there are any problems with this, Public
Works would appreciate some comments and/or direction from
Council at this December 19 meeting.
GLACIER STATE's HOUSE Nb~iBERING SYSTEM
There is a Resolution coming before Council concerning adopting
the numbers that were assigned to lots throughout Kenai by
Glacier State.
There is a discussion item at this upcoming meeting concerning
street names. The Public Works Department has prepared a new
street map. This map contains actual streets only and no paper
streets. It is still in the preliminary stage and copies will
be brought to the Council meeting for distribution and for
comments at a later date. The discussion at the Council meeting
will include the possibilities of changing an old ordinance
concerning the direction for the streets and avenues and also
the possibility of changing the actual names of some streets in
town.
MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
The Public Works Department has been working with CH2M Hill
on the Sewer Treatment Plant Addition, the Interceptor and
the Outfall. Loren Leman of CH2M Hill is presently preparing
the grant application for Step III construction money.
The Public Works Department has received word that the Addition
to the Shop/Lube Rack has been approved and that we should be
receiving the paperwork shortly. EDA has expended all the LPW
funds and the amount of grant money available next year looks
minimal.
The two Sewer Treatment Plant Operators that have recently
completed the Activated Sludge Workshop have stated that
it was definitely worthwhile and that they received helpful
information.

Pres. Elson read a ruling'of order declaring the Assembly
position regarding land disposal legislation on this and future
agendas. It states the tape.recording and minutes of the last
meeting of October $0, 1979 relative to the introduction of Ordi-
nances 79-66 and 79-67 make it clear the great majority of
assembly members are in favor of awaiting a determination of the
court in the case now pending before Judge Moody. She reported
it is the ruling of the chair that any proposed legislation
dealing with the disposition of borough lands is out of order.
until the questions raised in the Martin case are resolved
and that considering alternative legislative proposals before
a decision is reached would interfere with the judicial deter-
mination and would acknowledge that court process can be used
to thwart ~he majority will of the assembly. She stated this
procedure would be reviewed periodically in light of new develop-
ments in the lawsuit to determine if any useful purposes could
be served by alternative legislative proposals dealing with bor-
ough land disposition. This ruling to apply on this agenda to
Ordinances 79-69, 79-72 and 79-7~ asking assembly concurrance.
She asked that Ord. 79-72 be sent to the Local Affairs Cdmmittee
for study.
Nr. Davis asked if the ruling would preclude introduction of any
other land disposal oidinances or only those relating to a lottery;
Pres. Elson stated future land disposal plans should be studied
by the Local Affairs Committee before placement on tho agenda.
~r. Davis questioned whether the assembly was aware of the increas-
ing authority being given to the committee function.
Nr. Corr requested the removal of Res. 79-159 from the agenda.
Mr. Campbell reported the Local Affairs Committee agreed to
request removal of Ord. 79-77 from this agenda and introduction
on December 4.
Mr. NcCloud asked that representatives from Price Waterhouse
be allowed to make their presentation following Consideration
of Resolutions rather than under Mayor's Report.
Mr. Arness reported the Public Works Committee wished to with-
draw Res. 79-158 for additional study and possible revision.

Mr. Arness believed runoff elections are a burden to the
taxpayers and do not indicate the will of the majority when

Mr. Cooper recalled elections ~hen a large number of candidates
ran for a particular seat and if there had not been a runoff
election requirement, a candidate could have won by only
of the vote.
Mrs, Dimmick noted the bill o~1~ provides an option and an
ordinance exempting the borough ~ould still have to be enacted.
She recalled runoff elections uhen only 10% of the voters

I. FORMAL PRESENTATIONS WITH PRIOR NOTIC. E
(a) Representatives of [enai River Bridge Subdivision
Mr. Billy Law, resident of the subdivision stated a number of
people are present to find out why their road was dropped from
the roads and trails priority list for the past season. He had
heard there were right of way problems but according to Res. 77-26
which sets out procedures for obtaining road development, the '
first item is listing o~ required right of way and second, prepara-
tion and sending of right of ~ay forms in the name of the borough to
o~ners ~ithin the area to be improved. He stated no one in the
subdivision had received .such forms. He referred to a folder
being circulated of letters written by subdivision residents
reporting the health hazards ~hen wells can be polluted and
waist deep ~ater in an area where a number o£ children must
make their way to a bus stop outside the area because of poor
road conditions ~ithin. He believed the legislature designed
the roads and trails program for this type of use and questioned
why the project ~as struck from the list to be built this year.
He pointed out if there was an emergency there would be no way
to get a sick or injured person out of the area--life and limb
cannot be measured in dollars and cents.
Mr. Corr ¢ommented~ having served on the Roads and Trails Committee
he knew the right of way problems have to be handled first and then
the state inspector must approve the project for the roads and
trails pro,ram, lie suggested the residents of the subdivision
work to get additional funding through the legislature; infla-
tion is eating up what few funds have been allotted, lic asked
Borough Engineer Conyers to report on the state's inspection.
Mr. Conyers reported the p~oject was approved bT the borough.for
improvement early last spring and monet ~a~ budgeted but on ~nspcc-
tion by the state of all projdctg in Hay, three roads including
this one ~ere deleted. Consequently those funds were used for
ether projects which could be accomplished during the season.
o 4 -
N II ROUGII ASSEMBLY RE(;ULAR ~IEETING MINUTES
Mr. Cooper asked if residents of the subdivision had considered
building the roads themselves. Subdividers are required to bui3d
roads within their own subdivision. Probably the lots were
available at a reasonable price because of tl~e low quality roads.
~Ir. Law replied residents had bought or borrowed equipment to
put in ditches and drain portions, they have hauled gravel, but
this had not solved the problem and the people believe this sub-
division is an appropriate place for roads and trails funding.
Mrs. I}immick referred to state;:~ents that tire state turned down
the project because of insufficient right of way dedication arid
then it was mentioned people ~could be happy to grant additional
easement for 100 ft. right of way. She asked if the problem is
lack of paper work or do people not want to give additional
footage but want the borough to insist on building without the
20 ft. requirement.
Esther ttancock questioned why the borough accepted an undergrade
subdivision. She stated she would have readily given up 20 ft.
additional right of way, but having done the necessary paper work
it was unfair for the project to be dropped without notification.
Sherman Green believed it was the duty of the assemblymembers,
as locally elected officials, to go to the state with local
problems.
Andy Anderson reported as a 25 year resident of Alaska he had
never seen road conditions as bad as they have been in this
subdivision.
Gil Curtis questioned the need for additional right of way noting
many streets in Kenai and Soldotna have no more than the 60 ft..
allowance with plenty of room for ditching.
Carl Port reported contacting an attorney in 1977 to seek
ways to improve the roads and contemplated a class action suit
against the-developer but found him involved in another suit.
He stated if conditions had been met and procedures of the 1977
resolution had been followed the roads could be in by now.
~ayor Gilman reported the state requires that roads and trails
funding be provided to those roads meeting secondary road stand-
ards, not arterial (60 ft. right of way, 40 ft. surface) r~quire-
ments, lie reported having written the Commissioner of Transpor-
tation asking for a review of this case to see if a waiver of
the 100 ft. requirement could be approved since some improvements
are within the 100 ft. right of way required. He suggested
waiting for a reply from Dept. of Transportation and if none is
received within 30 days he would begin circulation of petitions
to obtain the 100 ft. right of way easements in order to be
ready for spring construction. He verified the developer met the
only requirements that exist, that 60 ft. right of way be dedicated.
He stated in addition, his proposal to Dept. of Transportation
was to (1) let the Borough build the roads according to borough
adopted standards and (2) contract with the borough to maintazn
that road through subcontract to private enterprise. He commented
the state is reluctant to build additional roads to maintain
and this could be a solution.

funds in the amount of 3.g Million to 12.$ Million for the purpose
of building and constructing a complete Small Boat Harbor in the
Kenai River the size of which is to be determined by yet to be
produced feasibility studies, and advising the City Council that
these figures have been taken directly from the Corps of Engineers

Dear Colonel Nunn:
I have been asked by Bob Peterkin, Chairman Kenai Harbor Con~ission
to extend an invitation to you to meet with us on January 8, lgSO. This
meeting would be for the purpose of reviewing the feasibility report
prepared by Colonel Debelius as presented on February l, 1976.
The Kenat Harbor Commission which was recently re-activated feels
very strongly, that Kenai is entitled to and can justify a Small Boat
Harbor located in the Kenai River.
Since this report was submitted there has been a rather substantial
increase in the number of boats using the river as to those reported in
the initial study, for instance at present there are 540 Gill Net Boats
fishing Cook Inlet not 400 as presented in the report. Of these 540
boats at least 300 hundred to 350 boats currently use the Kenai River
as their home port. The Corps of Engineers report also reported the
typical boat used in Cook Znlet as a gill netter for the salmon fishery
as 20 to 25 feet long with a 3-5 foot draft an average replacement value
of $1S,O00 to $20,000 dollars. Infact the average boat used in the Cook
Inlet drift fishery is from 32 to 40 feet in length with an average draft
of 3-5 feet valued any place between $80,000 and $140,000 dollars.
The Harbor Commission feels that these facts and other facts which
could be brought up at a period of discussion would have a great deal of
impact on a decision to reassess the feasibility of a Small Boat Harbor
in the mouth of the Kenai River.
We look forward to a good working relationship with you and your
office and once again invite your presence at the Kenai Harbor Commission
Meeting on January 8, 1980, thanking you in advance I remain,
TW:lJ
~/pectful ly yours

Dear Sir:
It was my pleasure to work with Mr. Carlson from 1969 to 1971. During
this period he served as Platting Officer, Planner, and upon my recommendation,
was promoted to Current Planning Administrator of tile Greater Anchorage
Area Borough. His experience during this time included land use, planning,
code enforcement, departmental budgeting, daily public contact, and
extensive work with lay commissions and tile assembly. Although under my
supervision, Chuck's capabilities, initiative, and ability to handle
himself, staff, and the public enabled him to function with wide latitude
with my complete confidence.
In short, Mr. Carlson has my highest regard as an individual and as a
competent professional. His training, experience and abilities should
be quite valuable in any professional planning or public adminis~ration
position.
Sincerely,
BILL BRIGHTON
December 17, 1979
At the suggestion of Councilman Malston, I called Bill Brighton.
Mr. Brighton stated the preliminary hearing is December 28, 1979.
He will call again December 29, 1979 to give the status report,
which will then be transmitted to Council.

PROJECTS-1980
1. Kenai River Harbor Facilities
Purpose: To provide harbor facilities for 250 minimum
commercial fishing boats of small to medium size. Also
included in the necessary design funding is provision for
funds for planning and engineering work in the Bluff Erosion
Area.
Optimum: To provide harbor facilities for 400 boats,
prote~t£ve jetty and dredging.
Location of Pro~ect and Schematic: Past studies have
depicted a harbor basin to be located at river mile 1.6 on
the North-Easterly bank of the Kenai River. This site is
centrally located and convenient to the established seafood
processing industry. Harbor accommodations will complement
and assist in the expansion of the seafood processing industry.
2A. Harbor Road Collector
PUrpose: To provide paved road access, water and sewer
system which will service the Harbor project. Funding to
include final design, acquisition of some rights-of-way and
construction.
Site and Schematics: As shown on the attached maps,
this road will ensure well-planned development of the Harbor/
Industrial area and maximize land use in that area.
2B. Commercial Road Grid
Purpose: To improve by pavement, present commercial
streets and to open new commercially zoned areas.
Sites: The Kenai Spur Frontage Road, Barnacle Way,
Fidalgo Avenue and Bidarka Street are proposed for improve-
ment and/or construction. These projects will make the com-
mercial area more viable and accessable, which will encourage
development.

3. ~.r~ort Te.rm~nal Rengvation and Enlargement
Purpose: Once city Hall Offices are removed from the
Airport Terminal, present terminal space should be renovated
and enlarged to provide facility requests from certified
intra-state and inter-state carriers.
Site and Schematics: Located at the Kenai Municipal
Airport, the 'Airport Terminal has a backlog of requests for
lease of terminal space. The present configuration of the
Terminal does not lend itself to the type or extent of
proposed uses.
4. ..Ai.r Freight Terminal and Warehouse
Purpose: To meet the needs for fish flights, freight
of certified air carriers and moderate length of time warehouse
storage.
Site and Schematics: The Kenai Municipal Airport is
located in close proximity to both the fishing and oil
industries and serves as the major transportation link to
Anchorage and the Lower 48. With increased activity in both
the seafood processing and the gas processing industries
Kenai can expect even more demands for freight/warehouse
space.
5. Float Plane Basin Facilities
Purpose: To make use of existing facility by improvement
and expansion in order to provide full service to commercial
and private float planes.
Site and Schematic: Kenai serves as a base for private
and commer6ial float planes oriented towards the recreation
industry. Present facilities are inadequate and inhibit the
growth of this industry. Located at the Kenai Municipal
Airport, the float plane basin is linked to other major air
transportation systems.
6. Air~ort Ramp Improvements, Water and Sewer Facilities
for B.L.M. Fire Fightin~
December 20, 1979
Page 5
Purpose: B.L.M. presently stations approximately 75
personnel at Wildwood. B.L.M. has expressed a willingness
to utilize properly equipped ramp facilities for servicing
of forest fire fighting aircraft.
Site and Schematics: Wildwood is located approximately
3 miles"from the Kenai Airport. This close proximity would
enable both faster response time and a higher degree of
efficiency for the B.L.M. operation.
7. Civic Center Complex
Purpose: To provide auditorium, meeting rooms, conference
chambers and museum area to serve the City and area residents
and also to be the base facility for attracting conventions
and conferences.
Site and Schematic: The Central Kenai location will
serve as a hub of activity for the area, the Civic Center
-would provide a nucleus for commercial and governmental
development. This would serve as the anchor for economic
growth area-wide.

ROAD IblPROVEblENTS PAVING AND GRAVEL SURFACE
This would improve heavily traveled transportation
routes throughout the City. The paving projects will
also help in summer maintenance (eliminating grading and
oiling for dust control). List prepared in conjunction
with "City of Kenai Capital Improvements Program"
Comprehensive Plan prepared by R. W. Thorpe and Asso.)
ANALYSIS AND CONSTRUCTION OF A ~JOR DRAINAGE SYSTEM
The City of Kenai has relatively flat terrain. There
are numerous runoff problems causing flooding of both
public and private property including roads.
CURB AND GUTTERS, SIDEWALK, STORM DRAINAGE
F~IN STREET LOOP - WILLOW TO SPUR
With Willow Street being improved next year, Main
Street Loop will become even more heavily traveled.
This project would improve the efficiency, convenience,
and the safety of the traveling public.
DEVELOPMENT OF SECTION 36
The City of Kenai desires to develop Section 36.
This would include major streets, water, and sewer.
It would open up new lands that are sought after by
many developers. It would create jobs in building
these improvements and future jobs from the developer.
I~IDENING, LIGIITING, AND CURB AND GUTTER
AIRPORT WAY
The first step has been taken to pave and realign
Airport Way. It needs to be widened with curbs
and gutters, and lighting. Because of lack of
funds, it could not be done during the first step.
This project would improve the efficSency, convenience,
and the safety of the traveling public.
I~'ATER AND SEWER PROJECTS IN INI)USTRIAL PARK
TIlE FIVE CEIP PROJECTS Al. READY ENGINEERED
These water and sewer projects are needed to
furnish these utilities to citizens of the City. Some
will also make a loop within our system which will
greatly increase the versatility and reliability o£ our
system.
