J . •�� At a recent Council meeting there were several disgruntled local citizens who appeared before the Council for the purpose of complaining about the lack of regulation of itinerant cannery workers and/or other intinerant campers who descend upon the city and surrounding areas during the summer months. The specific complaints were in the areas of the lack of sanitary facilities and the tremendous amount of garbage and debris that is left on private property by these individuals. It is a concern that the Council has under serious consideration at the present time. The complaints have resulted in the city taking a look at the camping facilities provided for cannery workers in Petersburg, Alaska. The project in Petersburg is a direct result of complaints from their citizens about a problem in Petersburg that corresponds with the problem in Kenai. With this brief background, the City is requesting input from each of the area canneries as to the willingness or unwillingness on the part of the canneries to share in the costs and/or energies expended in trying to resolve this problem. The members of the Council of the City of Kenai appear to be willing to establish a park providing the appropriate sanitary conditions and providing a means for preventing the accumulation of garbage and debris from spreading throughout the entire city, if there is willingness on the part of the responsible corporate agents of the canneries to participate in such a program. It is the City's serious request that you reply indicating your interest or disinterest in participating in such a program. In the City's opinion, it is a serious problem for the community and the City is hopeful that between the parties concerned a solution or at least a partial solution can be found to eliminate the problem that will result in benefits to all concerned.

December .9; •"�:9$Ynr1oN Mr. William Brighton City Manager P.O. Box 580 Kenai, Alaska 99611 This matter of summer campers is indeed a problem that must be addressed before next season. Kenai Packers, in recent years, has shouldered much of the burden through overuse of our restrooms, coffee break areas, and garbage removal. Last season we went to considerable effort to hire local residents in an effort to "starve -out" the campers on the bluff - most of whoa ended up employed elsewhere. I agree there is shared responsibility and benefit between city and processor, in that the campers do provide the processors a labor pool, while both we and they pump considerable money into the local economy. Your idea of a cwgxjround is good. Our experience has shown that you will need space, water, showers, restrooms and garbage disposal for at least 200. Routine cleanup and maintenance is also necessary. Once this facility is set up, the city must establish and enforce an ordinance against camping elsewhere. You may also want to consider a nominal users fee to cover maintenance costs. As is the case with much of American industry, we are in a financial "belt tightening" period and as such would have to know and evaluate the costs or energies required of us before making a corn mittimt. I'm glad to see something being done about this problem so if there is any further infonnatfon or assistance I can provide, please let me know.

Box 680 Kenai. Alaska 99611 Dear Mr. Brighton: In reference to your letter of November 16th reaardina the sanitation and debris problem of our communities,as,a•,resdtt of itinerant cannery workers. I certainly sympathize with the people affected by that situation. Our plant is located in Sterling, 27 miles from your city, fortunately we have been able to control this problem pri- marily because we make a concentrated effort to hire only Alaskan residents due to our year round operating schedule. In addition, being a secondary processor of seafood, many of the transient workers do not meet our standards of clean- liness and appearance. In the few cases we do hire transient workers, it is closely controlled because they are camped on our doorstep. Being the only processor in Sterling we feel it is our responsibility to control the problem'in:-our community. Although I symathize with the City of Kenai, I feel our obligation is to our community first and that we are already making that contribution. Sinc ely, 0 Roland W. Schwanke President RWS;Jco P.O.

At peak season, Summit Seafoods employed about 20 people. Many of these were local residents. I was able to find summer house- sitting arrangements for the rest. However, even though Summit Seafoods does not contribute much ` to the problem, I am concerned as a citizen and appreciate the Council taking a serious look at it. I think the park you mentioned is an excellent idea and one that would benefit the entire community.

Brighton# City Manager Box 580 Kenaip Alaska 99611 Dear Mr. Brightons Your letter of November 16th arrived here today after being forwarded from Kenai. I have discussed the contents of the Letter with our plant manager. It is his feeling that the concerns you have do not affect our Company directly. It is our policy to house our employees in Company bunkhouses to ensure that they can be available at the beginning, of the work day regardless what time that may be. We agree that a campsite such as in Petersburg would be a solution# and suggest you contact the City of Petersburg as to the facilities provided. As we understand it the facility at Petersburg is a city financed project and a nominal daily fee is charged the campers for its use. We cannot agree that as processors we should be expected to participate In financing such a program. It would seem to us that if a small community such as Petersburg was able to finance a project such as this out of general revenue, it is not unreasonable to expect Kenai to do so also if it deemed of sufficient importance by the citizens.

Brighton, City Manager i FROM: Keith Kornelis, Director of Public Works SUBJECT: 1982-83 Capital Improvement List My personal recommendation, concerning the 1982-83 CIP priority list is to basically follow the 1981-82 list and then add on the new projects. Certainly priorities change from year to year -- that is why I said basically follow the list. Some items that are suddenly of a higher priority could be slipped into the list or if some have lost their priority, they could be taken out. BUT there should be specific reasons for the change --simply a general statement that our "Priorities have Changed" shouldn't be a reason to throw out all prior priorities and start over. I would think that the Legislators (or whoever) would look favorably upon a City that sets out long-range priorities, has a plan, and basically follows it. What good is a three or five-year plan if everything is thrown out each year and the process is started new each year? Anyway, this is my feeling an it --even though I personally do not completely agree with the order of priorities set in the past. Something I feel that should be taken into consideration when setting the priorities is what the Citizens avant for improvements. A good indication of what I think the people want was revealed in the three surveys summarized on the attached sheet (Attachment A). The questions were asked a little differently on each poll, but I think that there was a clear indication that road improvements were number one on their minds. The City of Kenai spends a lot of time and money maintaining inadequate mud streets. These mud streets also have the worst problem of dust control --a problem that might increase if ADCC stops us from oiling the roads. Attachment B is a list of mud streets that the Public Works Department feels should be upgraded to at least a good gravel surface. The list was prepared and prioritized by the street crew foreman,who has been working on these streets for the last seven years, and myself. They are prioritized from a maintenance stand point only. Afemo to Wm. .1. Brighton . Page Z ! December 11, 1981 i i i The City of Kenai street maintenance crews spend most of their time in the summer working on our gravel (and mud) streets. Besides cleaning the storm drains and maintaining street signs, paved streets take considerably less time. Every time we pave a street, we not only make it easier and more desirable for our citizens but lessen our street crew's summer street maintenance. Which streets to pave is often a political question. I have thrown out some suggestions and reasons why I have suggested them in Attachment.C.Mainly I have tried to think of forming large loops that more people could get to faster. Well, I have stated my feelings and hope that I have not confused or offended anyone. Setting CIP priorities is a very important thing,and the responsibility of setting them is a difficult one. The citizens of the City of Kenai are realizing that these State Grant monies are not just possible funds. Streets are being improved, buildings built, the Airport is being renovated, and parks and recreation facilities are being improved. They are seeing things being done and not just dreamed about and everyone wants a piece of the pip! It's great to see our City being improved! I'm proud to live in Kenai and have a Council that works hard with the Administration to make dreams come true.

(c) Same as above for part of Section 36. The City should have $1,080,000 coming July 1, 1982 from the $250 per capita of SB-168 thus we have this type of picture: Preliminary Total of Projects To Dates $8,000,000 Available July 1, 1982: �11080,000 $6,920,000 Now guesswork - if total C.I.P. money available in Juneau is cut 50% from $600,000,000 to $300,000,000 and we should receive as a minimum 1% based on our population relative to state, we should receive $3,000#000. This means we have to lobby for additional $3,920,000. All of this is just to help focus our thinking. We will have further work sessions, Council/Commission meetings and public hearings.

Brighton, City Manager and City Council for inclusion in Capital Improvements Projects requests i FROUs Jim Swalley, Airport Operations Manager RE: Airport Improvements The following list of capital improvements for Kenai Municipal Airport is submitted with the overall direction of growth of the airport and its economic impact on the City and its envisions in mind. 1. Construction of new itinerant aircraft parking area adjacent to the south end of the terminal apron. This project is necessary in that the terminal area is going to be expanded in that direction, making operation of light aircraft in the existing itinerant parking area hazardous. Construction consists of clearing and paving with tie downs, an area sufficient to park 18-20 light aircraft (est. 180' x 400' - 72,000 square feet 0 83 - 8216,000), access to taxiway "A" and 1080' security fencing. Estimated project totals $250,000. 2. Extend existing main aircraft parking ramp to the north 1200' x 3500 (420,000 square feet). This project is necessary to facilitate the increasing number of fish haul aircraft in the summer and other freight operations year around. This project was first requested through ADAP in September 1978. At this time, there is no ADAP legislation pending in Congress, and the outlook for ADAP in the near future is bleak. Estimated project costs $2,500,000. 3. Pave existing parking lots and associated roadways. Parking lot 02 (existing short term) was item number 6 on 1961 CIP priority list ($100,000). It was not included in 1 .,: ` 1981 Capital Improvement Projects. This project includes 3 parking lots (151,875 square feet) and 625' x 40' roadway l (25,000 square feet). Estimated project costs 0400,000. Total, 3 projects: $3,150,000. It is difficult to prioritize the projects listed as they all - have their merits. However, in view of immediate impact on the terminal and the economic impact on the community, I recommend the projects in the order listed.

Identified Need for Project A. Historical - twofold. First as the State and area mature, it is fitting to memoralize in a proper manner, the initial petroleum discovery and petroleum industry developments which resulted to some degree in the change from Territorial to State status and the subsequent development of the State. Second, the area has from time immem- orial been an important fishery. The fact that both industries became compatible and flourished should be brought into focus. B. Economic. The Center could be the attracting magnet for attendees and provide a unique reasors why persons should visit Kenai. The Center can be designed in such a way as to provide base function support for a Community/Culture Center. By doing this, the tourism element of the local economy would be assisted. II. The Industry Exhibition Center would: A. Be a large building containing 1) Exhibition areas and support areas such as a. auditorium b. meeting rooms ce banquet facilities d. administrative and Center function support offices and rooms B. Be located on land within the City. The site to be of such sufficient size for outdoor displays, parking, etc. The site to be part of the central government, commercial and hotel area. C. Function in such a manner as to 1) Display the history of the area's fishery and petroleum activities 2) Set forth the current economic importance to the area and State 3) Attract symposiums, conferences and conventions relative to the fishery and petroleum industries either individually or combined f ry .. Mac 4) Serve as an information center for members of the industries and for involved private business and governmental bodies. The information to be of a practical nature to be used for further growth of the industries. III. The Industry Exhibition Center to A. Be City owned and.operated B. Receive capital and exhibition funds and major items from State and private industry C. Establish revenue sources such as attendee fees, services performed, etc. so as to cover all operations and maintenance and not be a cost to the City IV. Prior Organization Activities In 1977 and 1978, the concept of such a Center was brought to the attention of seven petroleum corpor- ations and several fish processors. The initial reaction appeared to favor involvement in developing the Center subject to further clari- fication, definition of what the involvement would be by participatants and response of other partici- pants including City and State. V. Present and Future Path A. The concepts, if implemented, would deal with creating an activity and facility that would be of benefit and value but is not essential. It requires imagination and enthusiasm and a realistic analysis as to financial feasibility. It also requires the contacting, orientation and bringing together of many organizations over a lengthy time period to first ascertain what valid interest in the project could be obtained. B. If the above is achieved, the definition of State, City and private interests would have to be done. Site selection co-ordination with the culture/community Center schematics and plans of operation would have to be accomplished. C. The tasks above would probably be too much of a burden to be accomplished by individual or group volunteer efforts due to the time and dollar costs. ,-1 t D. A grant from the State to develop the concept, clearly define the purpose, facilities needed and method of operation of the Center and then g to implement the plan if agreed to by the City S and other participants is sought. It would be intended that the grant would be exercised in phases with set time and accomplishment points to allow for review as to whether to continue.

ALASKA 99611 Kenai is a First Class City in the Kenai Peninsula Borough. Because of its proximity to the various petroleum industries, Kenai attracts a number of residents who prefer the services a city has to offer. The population is well Oducated, and exceptionally active in service organizations, church groups and recreational activities, which suggests a productive use of leisure time and an interest in maintaining a good standard of living. The per capita use of the library by the residents • of the City of Kenai, and also by the residents of the Kenai Peninsula Borough, is astounding. As of December 15, 1981, there are 6,507 active library card holders, 2,392 in 1981 alone. Our present building of approximately 5,000 sq. ft. was constructed in 1976 and has now exceeded its capacity to accommodate any more books. It has been necessary to remove seating and aisle space to make room for additional shelving. In addition to books, the library has periodicals, recordings, films, projectors, newspapers and other materials, all avail- able for loan to the public. Bach type of material requires suitable storage and display space and equipment. The library sponsors a wide range of activities such as film showings, story hours, displays from the Alaska State Council on the Arts, which require a relatively sound -proof area able to accommodate the audience. The library offers educational and cultural exhibits and displays to provide information and to stimulate the use of the library collections and services. It accepts as its basic objective the provision of mater- ials and services which aid the individual in the pursuit of education, information or research and in the creative use of leisure. The library is open six days a week for a total of 59 and one-half hours. Our petroleum oriented/alternating work week borrowers make it necessary to have scheduling match aircraft arrival and departure for those living several miles from the airport, as these families habitually travel into town only once each week. 0 i The proposed 10,000 square feet shall be allocated for the following services: 1. Reading and study area - 3432 square feet. This area will also contain racks for approximately 200 current periodi- cals, and a collection of 800 or, more phonodiscs. Small tables, carrells for individual study, as well as at least one game table for jigsaw puzzles or other board games shall be contained in this area. There shall be a lounge space for 20 people, and seating for 30 at tables. 2. Activity room - 520 square feet. This room will accomodate housing for the Genealogy Collection and for meetings of the Totem Tracers Genealogy Club; space for the 2nd group of Story Children (age 4-5) for the weekly Story Hour; weekly meetings of the Non -Threatening Writers Group; and act as a projection room for groups of under 30 viewers for both film and video showings. This room will also be used as a classroom for volunteer training, Genealogy classes through the Community Schools program, and as a meeting room for those meetings directly associated with Library operation. 3• New stack area - 1980 square feet. This space will house the adult non-fiction collection of approximately 13,000 volumes. The center area will also contain study tables to enable students to work in the immediate area of the reference collection. Wheeler, in "The Small Public Library" recommends 2000 feet for a non-fiction collection in an area with 5,000 population. 4. Typing rooms (2)•- 36 square feet each. For public use of typewriters, a great demand in this area. 5. Storage area - 1096 square feet. This area shall have storage space for 200-250 non -current periodical titles for a 5 year period, some on microfiche and some in hard -copy. This room will also house the Alaska Documents Collection, a valuable reference asset for the entire community, as it contains one copy of every document published by any state agency. Compact shelving shall be utilized to permit maximum use of available space. There shall be built-in shelving to accomodate the large pieces of AV material, projectors, and screens. There shall be a cabinet for map and plat storage. There shall also be a work station to enable the staff to properly process and protect this valuable resource. 6. Tool/ garden storage area - 100 square feet. This shall have an outside entrance only, and will be used for garden tools, fertilizer, and other materials to care for the grounds and the exterior of the building. .r- VA T. Meeting room - 1980 square feet. The meeting room shall be so located that entrance and exit can be effected without entering the main public areas, as well as with a direct, lockable, entrance from the library. The meeting room shall be designed to permit film showings and audience participation events without disturbing patrons in other parts of the building. This room shall be used for "The Friday Night Flick", a family program of general interest films. This program is now averaging an attendance of 60 adults and children per showing - in the main part of the library, necessitating moving considerable furniture to inadequately present the programs. We will use this room to conduct our Summer Alaskans Film programs, with daily showings from May 15th until September 15, for tourists, residents and their visitors, and scheduled tour groups. We will also use this room in which to .• conduct our Summer Reading Program activities. Because of lack of space in the past we have not been able to provide & fully structured program. This trill also give us adequate space to present traveling -art and museum exhibits that are available for no charge frm tthelAIaska Division of Libraries and Museums and from the Alaska State Council on the Arts. This room should legally hold 100 people for film showing or other activities. We are not accounting for the entire 10,000 square feet. The large meeting room should have toilet facilities available directly from the room. It should also have storage space for tables and chairs, a counter and sink for minor food service, and a large, deep sink at children's level to clean up after craft projects. t is 0 �I Present space to be re -assigned. 1. Periodical room - to house packing materials, bulletin board supplies, office supplies and books to be processed. 2. Conference room - to be the librarian's office as originally planned. Windows need to be installed in non -bearing wall facing the present reading area, telephone service in the present facility will need upgrading to coordinate with the new section. 3• To continue the separation of age groups we will continue presmat housing for the Easy Reading collection, but will - - move the Juvenile Collection to the space vacated by the present non-fiction collection. We will also use the wall area of this vacated section to accomodate the Njystery and • Detective and Science Fiction sections. o•m Statistics: 1.

Real Property Assessment $100,000,000 Personal Property Assessment 25,000,000 Total $125,000,000 Annual Budget $ 3,500,000 Current Property Mill Rate 9.9 Mills Current Sales Tax 3% Kenai benefits from a diversified economy composed largely of petroleum, fishery, and transportation activities which has resulted in substantial commercial and service industries localizing within the City limits. The 7500-foot,fully-equipped runway and truck freight facilities form part of the Kenai transportation hub. Kenai value of activity from the salmon fishery is estimated at $30,000,000 annually. Five processing plants are located in the area of the Kenai River mouth. The City serves as the permanent residence for many involved in Statewide petroleum exploration and development, for technicians operating the petroleum product facilities immediately to the City's North, and also as the home base for service employees. The City bore a large share of the impact from the 1960-70 petroleum development in the area and did it without the presently existing Federal and State programs. Much of the rapidly developed subdivision development is still served by inadequate gravel roads that are at times impassable. Now financially balanced, the City following its accepted Comprehensive Plan, is fleshing out facil- ities and services for present residents and getting prepared to accommodate the proposed one billion dollar Pacific Alaska LNG facility and perhaps the one and a half billion dollar petro-chemical facility. Economic diversity will be maintained by sufficient concentration on harbor development facilities. General infrastructure will be added to by prudent concentration on municipal road, water, sewer facilities, p park and recreation improvements and a cultural center. It should be emphasized, the City of Kenai has a high absorption capability for capital improvement projects r without resultant effects such as additional personnel or highly increased tax rates. Projection and analysis indicate eight to ten million dollars of municipal in- vestment can be made in roads, water, sewer and trans- portation facilities before substantive increases would be necessary in personnel or other operating expenses. -� - 2 - L I f r,. r. r, CITY OF KENAI 1981-82 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJEOrS REQUEST FOR STATE GRANS FUNDING Project Road Improvements Airport Parks & Rec Nmber Gravel P-PayingovementsImprovements Pro ect Cost Accum.

These are the Project Narratives for the City of Kenai 1981-82 Capital Improvement Projects --Request for State Grant Funding. The number on the loft is the Project Number and is followed by a brief project description. Under Road Improvements, those projects followed by a capital "G" are projects that basically require excavation of mud, silt, and clay along with backfill and gravel material to bring them back up to grade. These projects do, of course, also include some type of solution to the surface water drainage problems. These roads which are listed for future gravel resurfacing are roads that are impassable during spring breakup and during heavy rainfalls. Those projects listed followed by a capital "P" are projects that would include water and sewer (where applicable), surface water runoff drainage, curbs and gutters, sidewalks, lighting, and paving. Paving these roads would save the City a considerable amount of money under summer road maintenance. 1. This project is for gravel resurfacing of Candlelight Drive from the Spur Highway south to the terminus and for Linwood Lane from the Spur Highway south to the terminus. Both roads have quite a few residents living along them and both roads are impassable many times during the year. (G) 2. North Dogwood Road from the Spur Highway northeast to the terminus and North Lupine Drive from the Spur Highway northeast to the terminus. These two roads are the main entrances to a relatively large subdivision. They are also impassable many times during the year. (G) 3. Spruce Street from the Spur Highway north to Fourth Avenue. This is for gravel resurfacing of a residential road and a road that receives quite a bit of through traffic. Again, it is impassable many times during the year. (G) 4. This road project starts at the Spur Highway going north along.Main Street Loop where it ties in to Willow Street. The project also includes Barnacle Way which "T's" off of Main Street Loop to Willow Street. Included in this project would be some possible reconditioning of Bain Street Loop continuing on from Willow Street back to the Spur Highway. This project also includes water and sewer along with all the other items listed above. The water and the sewer on this project have already been engineered. The complete project is presently being engineered and will be completed by February 25, 1980. (P) 5 - f"= .''I i i� Project Narratives S. This is a paving project of Forest Drive Extended from the Spur Highway south to the terminus. This project would also include paving of Gill Street from the Spur Highway to Tanaga Avenue. Both of these streets provide the entrances to Redoubt Terrace Subdivision, one of the City's most heavily populated areas. This project would not include water and sewer since these services are already in existence, but it would include all the other items listed above. (P) 6. This is a paving project that would include Tinker Lane from the Spur to Lawton Drive and Lawton Drive from Tinker to Rogers and Rogers Road from Lawton to the Spur Highway. This series of roads forms a loop around the Junior High School and High School. Because these roads serve as entrances to both of the schools and because it is a heavily Copulated area, these roads are very heavily traveled and adly in need of paving. (P) 7. Kenai Airport averages over 80,000 landing/takeoff operations per year and enplanes over 100,000 passengers per year, making it one of the busiest airports in the State. The Airport Terminal was built in 1966.and was very adequate until the mid -to -late 1970's when increased activity in construction; fish processing, and the oil industry on the Kenai caused an influx of traffic through the airport. Kenai is presently served by two commuter airlines with 38 fli hts daily to Anchorage, S flights to Homer, and daily et service to Anchorage and Seattle. The renovation project will incorporate the current City Hall offices into the terminal operation and allow more effective utilization of present terminal space. 8. The paving of the Kenai Airport Parking Lot will allow for more efficient maintenance of the lot and give easier control and access to the Airport. This project will include drainage of the lot which will reduce ice buildup and provide a safer environment for terminal patrons. 9. This is a paving project and would include First Street from Main Street Loop to Birch Street, Birch Street from the Spur Highway to Fifth Avenue, and Fourth Avenue from the Airport fence to Forest Drive. This series of roads is very heavily traveled since it is the shortest route from the Airport to the heavily populated area surrounding Birch Street and also one of the City's largest Subdivisions, Woodland. Paving of this transportation route would be a savings to the City under summer maintenance and operations of roads. (P) 4� 1 -- _.---- - 6 - Project Narratives 10. This project consists of gravel resurfacing of Second Avenue from Spruce Street to the terminus and Third Avenue from Spruce Street to its terminus. Both roads are marginally passable during breakup. (G) 11. Phillips Drive from North Lupine Drive to North Dogwood Road. This gravel resurfacing project is located in Valhalla Heights Subdivision. The entrances to this subdivision are listed above in Project No. 2. This is a residential road and is impassable many times during the year. (G) 12. This is the completion phase of Project No. 6. It is a paving project and would include additional paving on Tinker Lane from Lawton south to its terminus, paving Lawton Drive from Rogers Road to Walker Lane, and paving Walker Lane from the Spur Highway to its terminus. This project would not include water and sewer since it is already available but would include the items listed above. This project would complete a larger loop around the High School and the Jr. High School and provide paved entrances to Inlet View Subdivision and Central Heights Subdivision. It would also provide a finished, paved road into one of the City's largest parks which is located adjacent to the Oilers Baseball Field. (P) 13. In December of 1978, the -City of Kenai formed a parks and Recreation Department, and a Commission was appointed. In April, 2979, a full-time director assumed his duties, and a recreation program was initiated. Also, completed In 1979 was a Comprehensive Plan for the City of Kenai. Using this as a guideline, the City is undertaking an extensive park improvement and recreation facilities program. This item is for some additional improvements to the City of Kenai's ballfields and the Kenai Youth Center. These ballfields and the Center were completed with State Grant No. 2-030 which was a result of Capital Improvement Funds received under this program last year. This project would include saunas, whirlpools, and for lockers in the Kenai Youth Center. Areas those items were provided for in the original structure. The improvements to the ballfields would include parking and landscaping of the areas around these now ballfields. 14. This item is for parks and playground Improvements to the following five existing parks. (1) Deaver Creek (2) Fourth Street (3) East Kenai Park 1 7 I= Project Narratives 15. 16. 17. (A) Old Town Park (5) Winicipal park Such improvements would include park shelter; multi-purposo courts such as basketball, volleyball, soccer, etc.; playground equipment; and outdoor ice staking rinks. This item is for a Community Gymnasium that could be connected to our new Kenai Youth Center. The new Youth Center was designed so that this Gymnasium could be added at a later date. This Gym would receive heavy use just from existing activities not to mention new activities that would be created once the building is in existence. It would relieve some of the over -loaded gyms of the local schools. At the present time, many activities cannot be scheduled due to unavailability of gyms or because of the fact that they are not available until the late hours of the night. This project would consist of improvements along Ryans Creek Park. Such improvements would include a fitness trail and picnic area along the creek near the Youth Center. The City of Kenai feels that this area would receive a consider- able amount of use since it is in the business district to town and yet along an established creek and also near the Kenai Youth Center. This project is for historical renovation of log cabins that are in the historical Port Kenay. These lop, cabins are some of the first that were built in this area and should be maintained for their historical significance. This project is for improvements to the existing Kenai Boat Ramp. This is the City of Kenai's only boat ramp and it has received a considerable amount of damage due to usage and ice damage through the many years of its existence. It is badly in need of renovation. This project is for paving First and Second Streets going Into Mommsen Subdivision. This subdivision has paved streets with the exception of these two streets that are used to enter the subdivision. (P) This project is for gravel resurfacing of Aliak Drive from the Spur Highway west to McCollum Drive, of McCollum Drive from the Spur Highway north to its terminus, Cinderella Street from the Spur Highway north to its terminus, and PrIAcess Street from the Spur Highway north to its terminus. These roads are in need of gravel resurfacing and a solution to surface water runoff drainage. (C) -a - Program Narratives 21. This project is for gravel resurfacing of roads that are in very poor condition within Thompson Park Subdivision. This subdivision is a heavily populated area with dirt roads. The following roads are badly in need of resurfacing and upgrading. (1) Fireweed (2) Togiak (3) Eisenhower (4) Iowa (S) Nevada (6) Wildrose (7) Dogwood (8) Primrose (9) Forget-me-not Many of these roads are impassable during spring breakup. 22. This project is for gravel resurfacing of Evergreen from the Spur Highway north to its terminus, of Haller Street from the Spur Highway to Fourth Avenue, and for McKinley Street from the Spur Highway north to Fourth Avenue. All three of these streets can be impassable during spring breakup. 23. This project is for gravel resurfacing of Standard Drive and Richfield Drive within the Valhalla Heights Subdivision. These two streets are usually in very poor condition during spring breakup. 24. This is for paving of three streets in Thompson Park Subdivision. Lupine Drive from the Spur Highway to Fern Street, Fern Street from'Lupine Drive to Togiak,and Togiak from Fern Street back to the Spur Highway. The paving of these streets would form a loop through the heavily populated Thompson Park Subdivision. 2S. This project is for paving a loop through VTP Subdivision. The streets for paving would include: (1) VIP Drive (2) Lora (3) Watergate Way (4) Ketch Street 26. This project is for paving Granite Point and FBO Road. These roads are used for entering into the airport's fix -based operator businesses. 27. This project is for paved bike trails along the Bridge Access Road from the Spur Highway to Kalifonsky Loop Road, along Beaver Loop from the Bridge Access Road to the Spur Highway, and along the Spur Highway from the Jr. High School to Beaver Loop. - 9 - r, r OTHER PROJECTS r:y APM) RY THE COUNCIL 1. Small Boat Harbor 2. Culture Center 3. Library Addition All three projects have been the subject of public hearings, City Council action and in some cases public referendum. Due to the uniqueness and non -comparability of these projects, the City is expressing its need for funding in an equal but different manner than the custom- ary projects listed such as road, water, sewer, recreation and airport improvements. Separate back-up information is provided on each project by the commission or com- mittees involved with the project. Such material has - been examined by Council and the recommendations are concurred with. A brief description of the three projects is here offered: 1. Small Boat Harbors Project is the construction of a 400 to 600 slip small boat harbor in the mouth of the Kenai River, will serve both the commercial fish and recreational needs of the City and area. The commercial fishing fleet and major processing plants are an important ' part of the Kenai economy, the fishery is estimated to have a $30,000,000 value of first sale and processing. In order to produce the ± quality salmon product, an efficient harbor facility must be in place to allow the industry to stay located in Kenai. The Harbor Commis- sion is blending Corps. of Engineers, past bond money and Coastal Ma:iagement funding to r� construct this facility in a five year phased time span. In addition the river and Inlet is an important recreation fishery and a reason- able portion of the facility will be allocated -; to this purpose. J - l 2. Culture Centers The special Committee involved -' with exam n ng need for, type of and usage _ of a culture facility, has been operating for nine years. Economic feasibility studies have _ proven favorable, preliminary schematics and cost estimates have been made. The Center is necessary to provide aL• least minimal amenity for this community where so many petroleum and fishery industry employees and families - 9a 4 d • r ' I .r �_'—' -�. � ~= .. _ 't2�C. s- .T• `N r- i� ..

An affirmative vote of the citizens was registered late in 1980. The Committee has fulfilled -all the requirements of the State's Culture Center organization. 3. Library Addition: The present Kenai Community L brary building, constructed in 1976, has been utilized to an extent never projected. Citizen, student and youth groups are accommodated on a daily basis. In order to provide additional stack, storage and reading area, the Library needs to expand its facilities. The Kenai Community Library Board has recognized and accepted their responsibility to define, ob- tain and implement the funding for construction. The Library has proven to be one of the most efficient and productive activities of the City, serving City and area residents. - 9b - 9 ,-1 V_ .. u►sc YFAttrs PPQU= U der the City of tkale►ile 1900-01 Capital ft rafflff st Cro9oats program lest yeary the City received the follow1rq State Grafts (;rant No Purpose Mount t)asaripticn - - status 2-029 Care Center 0 250,000 These monies weray'grantod throw„ the City of Y"OL to the Komi Peninsula Camunity Care Center to Osei (forth uas awarded the Construction of this Pro' jaet in July. 1900.
