Mr. Bill Brighton, City Manager
t
After having reviewed the Kenai Com rehensive Plan and the Land
Disposal Plan, section 36 by R.W. Thorpe and Associates and Mier
discussion of t eF Crt—y's land disposition problems with the Sec-
tion 36 committee, Members of the Planning and Zoning Advisory
Commission and the City Administration it has become obvious that
these problems are very complex and result in a great expense to
the city in terms of consumption of employee resources, lost cap-
ital revenue, lost tax revenue and inordinately high cost of City
services. Professional management of City lands could result in
alleviation of these conditions and might provide the city with
the means to lower taxes without a reduction in services.
We have enclosed a rough draft of a preliminary proposal to per-
form this function for the City of Kenai. Although the princi-
pals of the new consulting firm are liscensed to act as a broker-
age that may receive real estate commissions, no such relation-
ship is proposed. The firm would act objectively to the City's
benefit as its consultant/agent. Mr. Framstead and I will be
available to attend the Council work session scheduled for October
29 should you wish to discuss this proposal or any aspect of Lands
Management.
Sincerely,
AAAA
Jerry Andrews

of the work Pro
Note: Although the consultant has the experience, educational background
and resources to perform all activities suggested for the City Lands
Manager as identified in the Kenai Comprehensive Plan, only a number of
results and activities are discussed in this preliminary proposal; there

. Conduct a market analysis to project absorbtion, annually.
c
Develope an annual marketing plan and capital improvements and land
use planning recommendations where appropriate.
Solicit proposals to implement marketing plan fram Real Estate offices
ad submit to Council.
Order and rb-Aew appraisals to affect new leases or disposition.
Review 'Offers to Purchase" and make recommendations prior to City
acceptance.

plan and disposition policy. Make additional re=nwndations and
implement changes.

In addition, at a public hearing on May 7, 1980, the Senior Citizens
requested $19,992 for a van, kitchen remodeling, and winterization of
Ft. Kenay windows. Since that time, they have dropped the request for the
van.

Animal Control - The Chief Animal Control Officer now has citation
powers and bFc—ause of this he is spending more time out of his
vehicle giving citations and talking with citizens. During this
time when he is outside his pickup, he has no communication with
anyone. This might be a serious problem if he should encounter
an irate citizen. The request for the radio and charger will
give him the communications needed with dispatch should any
problems arise. It also gives City Hall and dispatch more of
an opportunity to contact him since he is spending alot of time
outside of his vehicle. The request for cages and traps is
very needed equipment. At the present time, the cages for
confining the cats at the shelter are very inadequate. The City
does not have live traps for catching wild animals that cannot be
approached by the Animal Control Officer. Without these live
traps the City has no way to control potential dangerous and/or
bothersome animals. The request for lockers is for the Animal
Control Officers street clothing and coveralls.
Public Works Administration - The request from Public Works
Administration is or a ra io and charger for use by the City
Engineer. There is also a request for file cabinets. The Public
Works Department has run out of filing space and we are very
much in need of new cabinets.
Shop - The 1980 Airport Electrical Improvements will include a
new generator and a new generator building. Part of their contract
is to remove the existing generator in the shop area. Our shop
mechanics are in need of a lock -up tool room. This will help in
protecting and securing valuable shop tools and equipment.
T
Memo to the City ..eager
Page 3
September 24, 1980
The Shop is also in need of a 3-ton press and air hose reels. At
the present time there are no reels and the air hose lays all over
the shop thus exposing it to possible damage.
Streets - The Streets Dept. needs to replace its old 1971 Dodge
lump -truck. At the present time the City does not have any
portable light stands, therefore, any emergency work done at
night is being done ' . by use of headlights on the vehicles.
This would help greatly in effectiveness of timely repairs and
greatly enhance safety. The City does not have at this time a
small dozer for finish work nor does it have a backhoe that is
track mounted. The request is for a D-3 type dozer with a backhoe
attach ment. This would allow the City to get back into areas
not accessible with our rubber tired.;backhoe. The City does have
a 1969 HD-11 dozer that is ready to be retired. This dozer is
presently down awaiting repairs which are estimated to cost
between $7 - $10,000.
Water and Sewer - The Water and Sewer Dept. is one crew but
as two budgets. Therefore, this request is broken down into -
the two different budgets. At the present time, the City of
Kenai is need of an air compressor. We rent a compressor from
Ron's Rental when we need one.
Water Sewer, Streets - At the present time, the Water, Sewer, and
'street Dept. store or warehouse small parts and materials in a
scattering of small buildings, quonset huts, and shacks spread
out around the shop area. We also utilize small abandoned
Well Houses located in various areas of the City. This request 4
for a small building is to be used as an office, lunch room, and I1
parts and small equipment warehousing for the various departments. I
` Airport M h 0 - The City of Kenai does not have at this time a
portable PAN radio. There are many occasions where an individual
or several people work on taxiway lights, mowing or cutting grass,
or other items out on the runways without the need of a vehicle.
The work that they would be doing could be done much more easily
with a portable FAA radio instead of maintaining a vehicle with
an FAA radio within heating distance while working.
I have not requested a Municipal street sweeper since the Council
in the past desired to contract out this work. As the City of
Kenai grows and adds more paved streets and as the cost of
labor to the contractor goes up, there is an additional cost
to the City each year for sweeping the City streets. At the
present time, the City also sweeps the paved streets once a
year and it may be desirable to increase that which will mean
an additional cost if contracted out. The cost of a street
1 sweeper could he as much as $80,000 to $90,000 but it might be
i
1 something to consider.
Thank you for considering the above items.

MEMO
TOs HONORABLE MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL, CITY MANAGER,
AND FINANCE DIRECTOR
PROMS DEN T. DELAHAY, CITY ATTORNEY
BE: PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO ORDINANCE NO. 612-80
ON SALE OF CITY LANDS
DATES OCTOBER 8, 2980
You will find attached for your study and consideration
amendments which have been proposed to Ordinance No. 612-80
providing for sale of City lands.
I have proposed the first three amendments to assure that our
ordinance is not interpreted in such a way as to place it in
conflict with State law providing -for sales of tax -foreclosed
properties.
Each of the other proposed amendments has an explanatory
paragraph stating who proposed the amendment and the purpose to
be accomplished by such amendment (insofar as my notes and
understanding would allow). The proposer of such amendment might
have other and better reasons to support the amendment.
Practically all of these amendments, as well as the ordinance
itself, is a matter of setting policy for the guidance of the
City Manager, who for,tbe sake of efficiency is given powers to
work within the framework set out by the ordinance.
As a matter of parlimentary procedure, of course, any amendment
which is placed before the body is subject to further amendment
before the vote for adoption. If at all possible, any amendments
should be discussed with me, or proposed to me, so that I can
draft proper language that will not be in conflict with other
portions of the ordinance, or if necessary add provisions for
amending other portions of the ordinance to avoid such a
conflict. After Thursday I will not be back in the office after
my vacation until November 3, 1980, but any calls left for me, or
notes left in my office that I can find at that time, will give
me an opportunity to consider them before the hearing on this
ordinance set for November 5, 1980.
BTD/md
Enclosures
ENDMENIT #1
Section 1 of Ordinance No. 612-80 should be amended to read
as follows:
"section is KMC 22.05.060 is hereby repealed."
if Section 1 is amended• the title of Ordinance No. 612-80
should be amended by adding after the word "ALASKA" in the first
line the words "REPEALING KN1C 22.05.060 AND."
This amendment is suggested because this section of our
ordinances is mostly repetitive, and in some instances in
conflict, with KNC 22,05.090 which is practically a reproduction
of AS 29.53.370 whicb is applicable to home -rule municipalities.
r
AWN E.NDMENT #2
There should be added to Ordinance No. 612-80 a new section
numbered Section 7 to read as follows:
-Jection 7= That INC 22905,090 2 is hereby amended as
follows:
i
! 02. Tax -foreclosed properties conveyed to the City by
tax -foreclosure and not required for public purpose
shall (MAY] be sold pursuant to the provisions of this
section. -AMC 22 -05 _030, O4_0„, QA5 6 AND OQQ and AS
1 29-53.370 - 385 Before the sale of tax -foreclosed
property held for a public purpose, Council, by
ordinance, shall determine that a public need does not
exist. The ordinance shall contain the information.
required in 1 of this section."
�----�..,�--
i
: a.

AMENDMENT 13
KMC 22.05.020 set forth in Section 2 of Ordinance 622-80
should be amended by deleting the . after chapter at the end of
the fifth line, substituting a , therefor, and adding "and, with
ivbvect to properties acquired through foreclosure for taxes, in
compliance with those terms and provisions of AS 29.53,360-385
which home -rule municipalities are required to comply with."
This amendment is suggested to make it clear that in addition of
Provisions of this chapter, there are provisions of State law
which must be complied with in the sale of tax -foreclosed
properties.
AMENDMENT #4
Councilman Ambarian suggested that lands should not be sold
because they were not needed for "immediate public use," as set
forth in the last line of Page 1 of Ordinance 612-80, if they
might be needed for future public use.
In setting aside tax foreclosed lands the Alaska Statutes usually
use the wording "public purpose" and does not require immediate
use. In order to be able to plan for the future, it might be
appropriate to change City ordinances to agree with this wording
in the various provisions before the Council.
I would therefore suggest that Ordinance 612-80 be amended as
Follows:
1, KB1C 22.059010 as set out in Section 2 is amended by
Inserting before the word "municipal" in the 8th line thereof the
underlined words "a ou lic" and by placing in brackets and in
capital letters the word "municipal" and the last "s" in
"purposes" following.
2. That Section 22.05.030 (a) as set out in Section 3 be
amended by inserting before the word "municipal" in the fifth
line the underlined word "&" and by placing within brackets and
In caps the following wording "municipal or other" and the last
"s" in the word "purposes."
(NOTE: If Amendment No. 1 is nat adopted, then the
following additional amendment should be passed to accomplish the
purpose of Amendment #4s)
3. KMC 22,05,060 2 as set out in Section 1 is amended to
replace the wording "immediate public use" in the last line on
Page 1 with the wording "public purpose."
/"`
AMENDMENT f5
i
Councilman Ambarian suggested that the value to be set by the
appraiser should be specifically clarified by adding market
value, and in order to make it comply with requirements for
i Airport lands, Ordinance No. 612-80 should be amended as follows:
1. Section 3 should be amended by adding to INC
22.05.030(b) therein the words "fair market" before the word
"value" in the first line of said sub-section(b).
.. 2. Section 4 should be amended by inserting the words "fair
market" following the word "appraised" in the 2nd line of INC
22.05.040(d)(4) therein.
e
AMENDMENT #6
Councilman Ambarlan suggested that the words "earnest money" in
Section A, KMC 22.05.040(b)(1) should be defined, and if the
Council feels it necessary, the section referred to should be
amended by adding after "money," the first word in the fifth line
of said sub —section, the following parenthetical statement
"(which shall consist of cash or its equivalent depposited with
the real estate brokers if any, and if none with tine Pinance
J.
Officer of the City of Kenai)".

AMENDMENT A7
Councilman Ambarian also suggested that a credit check be run on
applicant, and if that is the desire of Council, then KMC
j 22.05.040)(b)(1) as contained in Section 4 of Ordinance 612-00
should be amended by addition of another sentence at the end of
the present contents to state "After said earnest money is
deposited and before any other action is taken in preparation for
sale, the City Manager shall obtain a credit check on the
applicant to ascertain that he has sufficient financial
capability to purchase said property and pay all costs thereof."
�Y
AMENDMENT #8
Amend ordinance 612-80 to add a new section to read as follows:
"Rection e: That the Kenai Municipal Code is hereby amended by
adding a new section to be numbered INC 22,05.025 which shall
read as follows:
022.05,025 C-Algnveva ce to Encourage w Business
Enterprises: (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions
of this chapter, where it is found that encouragement
of a new business enterprise would increase the
economic stability of the city of Kenai and would be
beneficial to the City of Ienai, the City Council by
resolution so finding may direct conveyance of one or
more parcels of City land by the City Manager to such
business enterprise upon such terms as to price,
conditions of conveyance, and with such contingencies
as may be set forth in said resolution.
"(b) In the event the land directed to be
conveyed under sub -section (a) above consists in part
or in whole of airport lands, then the resolution
ordering its conveyance will not be effective until the
City Council by ordinance has appropriated from the
general fund to be dedicated to the Airport investment
Reserve the difference between the appraised fair
market value of said airport lands and the purchase
price, if any, set forth in said resolution."
This amendment was proposed by Councilman Marston in order that
conveyance of City lands can be made to entice new industry or
business to locate in the City which would be beneficial to the
City.
AMENDMENT fg
Amend KMC 22.05.040(f) in Section 4 of Ordinance No. 612-80 to
read as follows:
"(f) Where a real estate agent furnishes a buyer or
grantee for City land, the closing agent shall be
authorized to pay to said agent a real estate
commission of 20% of the purchase price for the land or 10% of
the appraised fair market value of the land, whichever
Is higher, under the following terms and conditions:
"(1) The City Manager may grant exclusive
listings of one or more parcels of land to one or more
real estate brokers with the real estate commission set
forth to be divided in accordance with normal practices
of real estate brokers in the event that sale or
conveyance is consummated.
"(2) if a parcel of land not subject to exclusive
listing as set forth above is sold to a buyer furnished
by a real estate agent, whether on negotiated sale or
after a public sale, then the authorized real estate
commission will be paid to the real estate agent
furnishing said buyer by the closing agent on closing
the transaction.
"(3) If a parcel of land not subject to an
exclusive listing as set forth above is sold at public
sale, and the applicant who instigated procedures for
such public sale was furnished by a real estate agent, and the buyer at said public sale was a different party
furnished by a different real estate agent, then on
closing of the transaction the closing agent shall be
authorized to pay the real estate commission set herein
to the real estate agents concerned, divided in
accordance with normal real estate practice as though
the real estate agent furnishing the applicant had been
granted a listing to the property and the real estate
agent
furnishing the ultimate buyer had furnished the
a
Ynt of the property.
This amendment was suggested in part by Councilman Ambarian who
questioned whether the commission would be split or whether the
full commission would be paid to each agent where a different
furnishedntheeapplicand the tewhotInstigatedlsuchosalethe , anent who
Councilman nueller and by Jerry Andrews of the rlanningr& Zoning
Commission who stated that the customary commission of 10% would
be more effective in selling City land since real estate brokers
and agents would not devote their primary efforts to selling land
at a lower commission then could be secured for sale of other
lands, and in part by Jerry Andrews who asserted that the
promotion of City lands for sale would be enhanced by giving
exclusive listings to one or more brokers, monitoring their
efforts, and changing listing where brokers did not perform.

AMENDMENT #10
Amend KMC 22.05.045(a) as contained in Section 5 of Ordinance No.
612-80 by deleting the wording beginning on the 7th line thereof,
"the greater of 101 of the sales price or" and the wording
beginning on the Sth line thereof, "if a real estate commission
is applicable".
Councilman Mueller suggested this amendment based on the fact
that a different down payment where a real estate commission is
not applicable might encourage fraud on real estate agents by
encouraging buyers, who had been told of or shown a property, to
avoid the agent and try to negotiate directly.
In order to encourage sales of lands, the down payment should be
kept as small as possible, but it should be sufficiently large so
that it would cover any real estate commission and also pay at
least a portion of expenses of the City in appraisal, surveying,
and platting the property to prepare for sale, as well as being
sufficient to discourage parties securing property on direct sale
from the City from subsequently defaulting on their note causing
the City to have to take the property back over.
AMENDMENT #11
Amend KMC 22.05.045(b)(2) in Section 5 of Ordinance No. 612-80 by
deleting all the wording thereof beginning with the words "City
Manager" in the second line thereof and substituting therefor the
wording "City Council by resolution."
This amendment was suggested by Councilman Ambarian who believed
that the rate of interest rates should be set by Council.
The original wording was designed to facilitate efficiency of
sales by avoiding having to go to Council to set interest in view
of rapid fluctuation. This would provide a "floor" under the
Interest rate to be set by Council, but would allow the City
Manager to take advantage of higher market rates when available
so as to secure more revenue for the City and so as to encourage
rapid prepayment.

B. Ordinance No. 612-80. Sale of Airport Lands
Jerry Andrews stated that he hesitates to create a solution
to a problem that he did not have all the facts about. He
questioned clarification of the reasons and priorities for
the sale of the land. Was it to increase the tax base,
dispose of the headaches in handling the land, etc.
Bill Brighton stated that the number one priority was to
dispose of the land and the Commission needs to review the
Ordinance to clear up any hang ups within it that will
hinder the disposal.
Jerry Andrews had the following comments.
1. Real Estate Commissions should be stated as not to exceed 10%
instead of a flat 80.
2. Buyer furnish title insurance should be seller provides
ti insu •ag Qee.
3. losing costs should be furnished at least in part by
the seller.
4. Buyer and seller should share legal costs.
Bill Brighton explained that the amendments which were in
the packet were proposed by the Council after the Ordinance
was.put together by the City Attorney.
George Fox commented on Section 22.05.040, Sale Procedure. He objected to the last part concerning earnest money. He
felt that this should be estimated by the City and should
have a top limit. The buyer should pay the charge but the
City should pay the overrun.
Jerry Andrews felt that the City could still recover the
costs. The buyer would be liable for damages for costs
over and above the estimate. If the buyer backed out, then
he would be liable. Jerry Andrews had a problem with some
of the terms used.
i
Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission
' Regular Meeting, October 22, 1980

1. Earnest money should be consideration or good faith deposit.
2. Earnest money agreement should be agreement to purchase.
Phil Bryson thought that Amendment No. 7 was too objective.
The Commission discussed title insurance and credit checks.
They felt that the credit check was a subjective evaluation.
Bill Brighton felt that prior liens or judgements against a
person could be handled with a title report.
Jerry Andrews felt that if there was no title insurance then
the City could sell a piece of property then a credit check
would be inappropriate to see if the person would pay.
George Fox commented on Amendment No. 9.
He thought that there should be a limit of the percentage
of the land that would be advertised for exclusive listing.
It was thought that if a broker was not involved then the
City might be more willing to negotiate a lower price.
Bill Brighton thought that this gives alot of authority to
one person.
.�� Air. Fox stated that he did not disagree with exclusive listing
but that it should be limited.
Jerry Andrews commented that he thought not all the land
` would be put on the market, at the some time.
Amendment No. S.
The Commissioners felt that this was contrary to the Section 36
findings and will be subsidizing a special interest group. They
tried not to do this with Section 36.
Mr. Fox stated that he did not believe that the City should
subsidize a business by giving land or special privileges. if
they can't make it in a competetive market then they should
not start a business in the first place.
Bill Brighton commented that legislatures all over have
provided ways to help and encourage development of industries
in other areas. The competition for getting those businesses
to locate in a particular area is great. The City needs
something to negotiate for those businesses to give them the
edge.
George Fox questioned why if you are going to give land to a
big company why not help the small guy. If you have to give
business an edge then the business might not be what you are
looking for any way. People should be treated equally.
Bill Brighton commented that the City could operate that way
if all cities did this.

Regular Meeting, October 22, 1980
Jim Blanning commented that if a City is trying to encourage
the growth of business then the City needs an edge.
Mr. Andrews said that he is opposed to subsidies any where
and does not like the disparity between special interest groups.
Mr. Brighton gave an example of how a city could have the edge
on encouraging a business to locate in an area.
Mr. Andrews felt that there probably were other areas that the
City could make attractive to businesses such as reducing
sales taxes and property taxes. Mr. Brighton stated that it is
extremely difficult to do anything about cutting taxes.
Dave Curtis stated that he did not agree with the wording in the
Ordinance concerning business enterprise. Lshould be industry
not busi .W_. He thought that it would help ` tietx ase o ring
stries.
Amendment No. 9
The Commission questioned Numbers 2 and 3. The Commissioners
thought that No. 3 might violate Alaska statues and is written
in an ambiguous manner.
Phil Bryson questioned how the Ordinance addresses spliting
a fee. Mr. Andrews felt that the City should not go into this.
The exclusive agent of the City is their representative. He
will determine how it should be set.
Mr. Andrews further stated that granting subsidies is something
that one has to be very careful with and made in good conscience.'
Mr. Brighton stated that the Council Js trying to formulate
what the Land Committee recommended. It is a very important
Ordinance that the City will have for a very long time.
There will be a work session on this on October 29 and a
Public Hearing on November S. Copies were sent to the people
on the Land Committee.

TO: CITY COUNCIL
FRO)h CHARLES A, BROWN, FINANCE DIRECTOR
DATE: OCTOBER 29, 1980
After a detailed review of Section 6 of Ordinance 612-80, I believe we
need language in 7.30.030 (b) (3) and (4) that clearly states that interest
earnings in the Airport Investment Reserve may be transferred to the
Airport Terminal Enterprise Fund or be added to the Reserve, but only if
it does not create a deficit. A situation could develop whereby some
interest earnings were used for operations during the year, and after the
books were closed at June 30, 1980, the remaining Unappropriated Fund
Balance in the Land System would be less than the prior year's interest
earnings. In this case, 100% of the prior year's interest earnings would
not be available.
Therefore, I propose 7.30.030 (b) (3) to read:
" (3) After June 30, of each year interest earned by the Airport
And, I propose 7.30.030 (b) (4) to read:

MEMO
To: Mayor Vince O'Reilly and Kenai City Council
From: Jim Swaliey, Airport Operations Manager
Res Airport Terminal Renovation
Council is again faced with the difficult task of prioritizing
Capital Improvement Projects for presentation to the State
Legislature.
I realize that the needs of the City are many: roads, water
and sewer, cultural center, etc. This memo is to request that
Council give careful consideration to the Airport Terminal
renovation project.
The City of Kenai, the general Kenai area, in fact the entire
Kenai Peninsula is rapidly approaching another major industrial
boom. Several large corporations are looking at our area for
possible construction of huge petrochemical facilities. This
fact, along with the steady growth rate this area has experienced
over the years has taxed the Airport Terminal to its maximum.
Although the terminal building is a fairly new structure - built
in 1966 - I am sorry to say it's planners and designers were not
looking for growth.
With the coming industrial influx and the federal deregulation
of the airline industry, more airlines and air related activities
are going to need facilities at Kenai Airport.
As you are aware, one of the major components of growth is
transportation. To many, corporate heads included, the Airport
Terminal is a first impression of Kenai and our surrounding
area.
The renovation of the Airport Terminal will benefit the City in
that it will give a more favorable impression of our City and it's
i�rwrwrrr:::=9i:

environs, allow for growth of the airline inc
the City structure thus creating more jobs, c
tenants a better working atmosphere, and give
the airline passenger - a more attractive anc
terminal in which to conduct their business a
and relatives.
I strongly urge the Kenai City Council to gig
Terminal renovation project top priority when
list of projects to present to the State Legj
January.

Mayor
Fluor/Exxon
Friday afternoon, Fluor called from Irvine, California,
stated they were doing the Exxon petro chemical site
feasibility study and were interested in our area. Mr.
Teshka of Fluor asked if I could meet their team in
Irvine on Thursday and Friday, October 30 and 31. Consider-
ing the competitive situation from other sites, I agreed
to go to Irvine though this is a different approach.
Saturday I had a conversation with Don Gilman, gave him
the picture. Indicated to Don that the City did not
want any of the industrial prospecting efforts to lose
strength or continuity though we recognize ultimate rgs-
ponsib=lity and effort belongs to Borough. Don suggested
Frank McIlhargey go with me to Irvine and I fully agree.
Also met Stan Thompson and informed him of what was devel-
oping. will contact Keith Campbell.

TOs Council
FROM: Vincent O'Reilly
Mayor
On occasion of the full new Council, I respectfully submit
some thoughts and views as a starting point for Council
discussion for the establishment of Council policies.
I. REVIEW
A. Administration and Personnels All departments
are at full staff and we have competent pro-
fessional managers. Salary and grade levels
need further adjustment. Some departments,
Public Works, Fire and Police, have identified
the need for further staffing. Council should
schedule interim meetings with Department heads
to talk over operations rather than wait until
budget sessions. Attendance by City personnel
at conferences, work shops, seminars, assoc-
iations, etc. should be encouraged to promote
professionalism and to recognize City personnel
dedication.
In my opinion
B. Facilities:
1. Roads, water and sewer - Public Works
Department has in place a priority list
on roads. Certain major water and sewer
trunks are planned and funded. Public
Works subcommittee with citizen and Depart-
ment input, should perhaps schedule meetings
to establish priority of additional water
and sewer.
t6
TO: Council
D.
�i
- 2 -
October 29, 1980
2. Government buildings - Police adequate,
Fire Department wants satellite station
at Beaver Creek. Public Works adequate.
New City Hall estimated to be available,
February. Airport Terminal renovation
project needs Council support.
3. Recreation facilities - Playground and
ballparks impruved or under construction.
Youth Center under construction. Further
capital requests have been prioritized
and submitted.
4. Sewer Plant expansion - Construction under-
way and will be adequate for growth.
S. Library needs expansion and has submitted
request.
6. Airport runway and ramp facilities are
adequate, improvements are necessary for
passenger and freight movements.
Services: Police is at a restricted operation
as accepted by Council. Fire service same
status. Both department administrators cannot
meet all functions they believe City should be
providing or prepared to provide. Public Works
by either methods used or lack of personnel
cannot meet peak demand especially during snow
plowing season. Library staff - adequate due
to volunteer group, has requested additional
paid staff to meet needs. Senior Citizen Pro-
gram - Functioning well, staff trained and
adequate.
Financial: Through professional management,
close supervision and efforts of past Councils,
City is well positioned to meet present oper-
ating costs with adequate working capital, has
sufficient reserves, is bondable and has a
moderate amount of capital improvement funds
available. Probability of Borough Assembly
sales tax reduction efforts, results of which
should be known before we decide future taxing
actions.
E. Economic Status: The City has a varied economy.
Several segments, such as petroleum processing
and government services, remain strong. Other
segments, petroleum exploration, residential,
industrial and commercial construction, retail
trade, have suffered weakness but perhaps not
3
TO: Council October 29, 1980
out of proportion to State an3 National levels.
Major resource oriented developments, which
could affect our area, are some time off in
the future such as Pacific Alaska LNG in 1983
or uncertain such as Dow petrochemical. The
fishery is important within the City, needs
attention and whatever aid the City can render
in the way of making the local fishery efficient
and competitive.
II. COUNCIL AND ORGANIZATION
Council, by usage, has three permanent committees -
Public Works, Policemen Association Conference and
Airport Lands. Council has ex-officio membership
on all City Commissions.
If we expand number of permanent committees, ten-
dency is to "Balkanize" government, Councilperson
would tend to focus on one segment of City operation
and become a strong advocate of that operation.
If we appoint "ad hoc" committees to deal with sit-
uations as they assume prominence, entire Council
input is available and Council remains broad gauged.
Mayor intends to participate fully in development
Of Council/City policy and when required reflect
only Council policy, not personal convictions.
III. COMMISSIONS
We are fortunate in that we will apparently have
a sufficient number of capable citizens willing to
serve on the various commissions.
IV.
Council and Commissions, with patience and under-
standing, must continue to work out degree of aut-
onomy, final responsibilities and future directions.
The Commissions are different from the point -of -
view of ultimate end. The Port and Harbor Commission
could in time become a municipal "enterprise" in
contrast to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
ThA Culture Center Committee, now that the project
has assured tangible voter support, planning funding
sources and perhaps capital funding sources, should
Perhaps become a Commission.
SOME SITUATIONS AND POSSIBLE ACTIONS
A. Section 36 and Airport Lands: Continue the
development of disposal program and means to
accomplish it.
b..
A -
T0s Council October 29, 1980
{
B. Harbor: Re-evaluate present passive role to i
make sure we are fulfilling full responsibility I'
and obligation to fishery and City recreation
boating. 1.
C. Simplify and shorten Council meetings by usage
of consent agenda.
D. Define what we want done at State legislative
level, who is to do it, how and provide means.
E. Airport activities have no direct Council con- '
nection such as committee or commissions. i
All of the above is offered to enable us to jointly worts
out objectives, policies and rsponsibilities. There
will be crisis, change and varying opinions but we will
be able to fulfill our obligations to the citizens if
we act with respect to each other's views and person
and if we act with diligence. -
