I have kept close watch on the complaints, comments, tests, etc., to try and find a pattern of what the problems are. To date, the problems have been scattered cases of discoloration, odor, and occasional sediment problems. The sediment problems can and are being taken carp of by flushing portions of the system. Several people and companies have asked to take tests or perform exporimonts to try to eliminate the odor and dis- coloration. Those people have not been allowed to do this work until they were made aware that they would bear all costs and provide all data to prove their methods. Also, no'one has been allowed to work directly with the system without the supervision of public Works to insure public safety. As yet, no one has been able to provide proof of an economical method for eliminating the odor and discoloration. Also, no one can prove that the water being produced is impure. One firm, Tri Flo, who produces potable water for the oil platforms and has quite a list of clients, had a water samplo analyzed by a certified lab and could find no water qquality problems other than minor discoloration. The City o£ Kenai's water rated as one of the best being produced by a Municipality in Alaska, -, -- according to this firm. If desired, the color could be eliminated with a filter Wys em p aced at each Well House. (They have not sent cost estimates yet, but indicated it probably would not be worth the expense). i I f , f t 1� Memb to Keith Kornelis Page 2 October S, 1982 Magnetics of Alaska (Jim Ricks) has tested magnets at the Well Houses. He has been unable to provide any proof that his method works. To my knowledge, no changes have been noticed duo to his work. If any more work is to be done, I would suggest the hiring of an engineer specializing in water systems, to analyze the system for other possible problems such as: loss of chlorine residual, stagnation in dead lines, pressure variations, etc. Some of these items will be brought out in present "Sewer and Water Improvements Engineering" project. If the budget will allow, this project could be expanded somewhat for more research. JL/jet I ,x'Ily ;.

Dechlorination is a chemical process in which the residual chlorine is converted to hydrochloric acid. The hydrochloric acid provides an additional benefit by converting a portion of the alkalinity to carbon dioxide. Adsorption Is a physical process in which organics, taste, color or odor are removed by adhering to the surfaces of the activated carbon granules. High porosity activated carbon granules are utilized. therefore, to increase the effective surface area of the carbon bed.

M TREATING FLUIDS MAGNETICALLY. Aquo nedis Paver units The development of the Aqua Magnetics Power Units for control of scale and paraffin in fluid systems is the result of many years of research and field testing. The operation of the Aqua Magnetics Power Unit is based on the fact that most of the scale causing solids in fluid systems are diamagnetic. Being diamagnetic their nature is such that they will be repelled by a strong magnetic field. Typical of such substances are Calcium Carbonate, Calcium Sulphate, Barium Sulphate, Sodium Chloride, Magnesium Sulphate, Paraffin, 011, Waxes and Greases. When subjected to a strong magnetic field these substances become polarized, they take on the polarity of the magnetic field itself. This is called "induced polarization". This polarization is such that the magnetic field of the magnet induces a similar polarity in the diamagnetic substances. Thus, since likes repel, the diamagnetic molecule is repelled by the magnetic field and by other polarized diamagnetic molecules. This is characteristic of all diamagnetic substances, and is due to the fact that the diamagnetic molecule has no permanent magnetic moment of its own. Since most scale causing particles are diamagnetic, in order to cause these substances to move away from the inner surface of pipes and fluid systems, it is necessary to provide the proper source and quantity of magnetic energy. This has been accomplished with the Aqua Magnetics Power Unit in such a manner that the resulting low cost energy output of these units make them unique in their field. ® Aqua Magnetics Incorporated, 1981 '7 Nbrd about Water A brief history of Magnetio Water Conditioning Until recently, Americans combatted their hard water problems (especially scale build-up) in one or more of five major ways.' E3 The Ion Exchange Process (water softening): Water to be treated is passed over beds of salt (sodium chloride). Ions of the hardness -causing elements, calcium and magnesium, are ex- changed with sodium ions. O Prevention of Suspended Solids From Entering The Water Sys- tem: This is accomplished in one of two ways. Incoming water for consumption is filtered. Or, suspended particles of hardness -causing elements are coagulated by introducing chemical additives to the water supply. The particles then pre- cipitate as a harmless sludge and do not form scale. O Reverse Osmosis: The net movement in osmosis is the diffusion of a less concentrated solutior through a semi -permeable membrane into a higher concentrated solution. Reverse os- mosis is the movement in the opposite direction. Pressure is applied to the raw water containing contaminants through a membrane that is permeable only to the water thus separating many of the impurities from the water. This method has been used In many applications to water treatment. O Prevention of Scale Formations This is generally achieved by adding "hardness stabilizers" (chemicals) to the water supply. These stabilizers favor the formation of phosphates which do not readily adhere to the pipes. O Removal of Existing Scales This is usually brought about in one of two ways. In the first process, "solubi lizing chelates" (chemi. cals) are injected into the water supply system and dissolve the scale. in the second process, the entire system is shut down and scale -dissolving acid is pumped through the pipes. All five of these methods require expensive hardware and/or chemicals. They necessitate costly installation and periodic mainte- nance, often by trained servicemen. They can be complicated, time-consuming and cumbersome, thus being limited in their applicability. Some pose serious environmental and potential health problems because of extensive use of chemicals.r In short, they are not always practical for the cost-conscious home owner. The financial, psychological and ecological expense of obtaining quality water has been high. Yet, there may be an alternative: Mag• netic Water Conditioning. Though a seemingly new technology to many Americans, hard water treatment through use of magnetic fields stems back nearly 35 years. Its use is widespread in Europe and the Soviet Union. Why, then, is magnetic water treatment just starting to catch on in the United States? Mainly because this technology, so widely used with great benefit in other parts of the world, has suffered from a severe credibility gap. There is much confusion over whether it works or not and whether it is scientifically feasible. The record needs to be set straight. Magnetic water conditioning is based on phenomena known for years, and has been the subject of research in various parts of the world., In 1945, Belgian engineer, Theo I.S. Vermeiren, had the idea of utilizing it for industrial water treatment purposes. Years later, in a 1957 lecture in Brussels, he reiterated his postulation for the first practical application of the magnetic treatment of water for scale prevention: "It would be difficult to consider modern techniques without magnetism. Radar, television, radio, the electronic mi- croscope, cyclotrons in atomic energy, etc., could not work without the existence of permanent magnets to guide the electrons or to increase their kinetic energy. It is well known that magnetic fields may have an effect on the behavior of dissolved matter as well as of crystalline matter; it is therefore logical that these fields could act during the reaction in which these matters take a part, and more particularly, on corrosion and scale formation.14 With this in mind, Vermelren developed the CEPI/COMOV mag- netic water conditioning unit, the first device of its kind. The CEPI was a success. Within 20 years of its introduction approximately 65,000 such units had been installed in homes, schools, hotels, hospitals and industrial plants throughout Europe.s 1.

"Magnetic Treatment of Water," by R.M.E. Diamant, M. Sc., Hospital Engineering (Great Britain), Vol 24, October 1970, p. 231 ID As Vernteiren's concept caught on, businesses and industries began to employ magnetic water treatment devices at tremendous economic savings. The British firm of Whittle and Turner, Ltd. (Kirkham, Lancaster) Installed a magnetic device on its boiler system, which wits previ- ously prone to rapid scale build-up. Soon, scale problems almost completely ceased. The firm estimated that it saved over $4,000 annually in labor and fuel costs for an initial investment of under $600.6 Magnetic water treatment is especially popular in the USSR and Eastern Europe where it plays "a vital part in the various municipal large-scale hot water distribution systems".' It is also employed by -many branches of Soviet industry' and in thousands of steam boiler systems.9 Despite its popularity overseas, magnetic water treatment has had a slow start in the United States. Most of this arises from confusion and misconceptions. On the one hand, the success of magnetic water treatment has been documented. It is used extensively in the USSR and Europe with apparent success.10 On the other hand, many scientists claim such treatment is not scientifically sound and that magnetism cannot alter the properties of water." Two reports published by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the late 1950's ("Experimental Evaluation of Water Conditioning Performance," Eliassen and Skrindle, May 15, 1957; "Experimental Performanceof'Miracle' Water Conditioners," Elias- sen, Skrindle and Davis, April 24, 1958) precipitated a series of Federal Trade Commission hearings and, to this day, still greatly damage the credibility of magnetic water treatment in the United States.'a Aqua Magnetics believes that the MIT report is invalid because they used paramagnetic scale for the test in addition to radioactive substances. It should be noted that the FTC complaints against magnetic water conditioning devices were dismissed after hearing and reviewing the testimony of many satisfied users and because of the danger of restraining the application of a new technology.1, ... we must not take the risk of interfering with the de- velopment of a device which may prove to be the first practi- cal application of a scientific principle heretofore undiscov- ered." Little is known about the phenomenon of magnetic water treat- ment. Tests have shown, for reasons unexplained, that flowing water exposed to a strong magnetic field will cause scale to be removed in some systems. Another experiment has shown that the surface ten- sion of water, magnetically treated, is reduced under certain cir- 6. Ibid., p. 231 7. Ibid., p. 231 8. Letter to Roland K.

Still another experiment has shown that concrete when mixed with water, magnetically treated, exhibits increases in com- pressive strength. We do not know why or how these phenomena occur, we only know that certain experiments and experiences bears out the fact that magnetically exposed water acts differently, and these di ferencr.�s are beneficial. As prefaced in the University of Michigan study:" "To our knowledge no well organized or serious research has been done before in the United States to determine why and how the magnetic ... processes work. Also, no research has been done to determine the possible biological and medical effects, beneficial as well as detrimental. It is clear that all of these areas needed investigation." Nevertheless, If magnetic water conditioning works, the advan- tages over the five traditional methods of water treatment are man- ifold:" ❑ Magnetic water treatment devices and systems are relatively inexpensive to purchase and install. • They require little hardware and operate at near peak perfor- mance, which means less wear and prolonged life. ❑ They require virtually no periodic maintenance and expensive servicing. ❑ They require no costly chemicals. ❑ Since they necessitate no chemicals, they do not contribute to pollution and health problems. ❑ They save energy because they require no fuel and no electric- ity, with rare exceptions. ❑ They are generally simple and convenient, thus increasing their applicability for home -owners and small commercial estab- lishments. Magnetic water conditionings's time has come in America. Though the process is not thoroughly understood, the practicality is indisputable. As one Russian Scientist (V.I. Klassen, doctor of the technical sciences, Institute of Mineral Fuels of the USSR Academy of Sciences) so aptly put it: "No one is going to turn down a good meal becautie he does not understand the digestive mechanism: '16 Magnetic water conditioning may not work everywhere, and it may not satisfy all water conditioning needs. However, where it does work, it is an incredible bargain. That is why we at Aqua Magnetics Incorporated urge you to look into the possibilities of magnetic water conditioning for yourself. Aqua Magnetics Incorporated in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has developed a family of products using magnetism for treating fluids in pipelines. This family includes power units that can be applied to pipelines as small as 1/4" in diameter and larger. Aqua Magnetics Incorporated has the capability to design and build custom units for special applications that meet the needs of their customers. The applications include water containing minerals (salts) and oil con- taining paraffin and salt that are diamagnetic. The basic water application is to control water containing calcium and magnesium salts (hard water) such that the scale build-up from these hard water ingredients is lessened or eliminated. This is done by passing the water through a magnetic field established by the power units and the scale causing minerals stay In suspension rather than precipitate out and attach to the surfaces of the plumbing and fixtures. This is performed without the use of any chemicals, electri- cal connections, or splicing into the pipe, and without adding to or removing anything from the fluid. A chemical analysis of the water before and after treatment indicates no changes in hardness or min- eral content of the water. 0 The questions People most frequently ask us THE AQUA MAGNETICS POWER UNIT Q.) How does the Aqua Magnetics Power Unit work? A.) The Aqua Magnetics Power Unit is attached to the outside of the water pipe and sets up a magnetic field through which flowing water passes. Although no one seems to be sure how water is affected, It is believed by somethatthe metal ions in waterwhich pass through the magnetic field may somehow be polarized or otherwise affected and that these ions (which represent the minerals in your water) do not as readily combine within your plumbing system. Accordingly, if that is so, mineral deposits tend to resist clinging to surfaces (such as dishes, automobiles, fixtures, etc.). WHAT THE AQUA MAGNETICS POWER UNIT CAN DO Q.1 Does the Aqua Magnetics Power Unit soften or harden my water? A.1 The Aqua Magnetics Power Unit neither removes minerals from nor adds chemicals to your water. Because your water's chemi- cal composition is not changed, your water is neither softened norhardened. Therefore, the power unit is not a softener, purifier or filter, Q.) Will the Aqua Magnetics Power Unit cause me any short-term problems or inconvenience in my water system? A.) if the Aqua Magnetics rower Unit ads to remove scale from the inside of your water pipes, as we believe it generally will, you may initially notice some scale deposits in your water. This would be a positive indication that the unit is functioning as desired. This removal of scale should improve your water flow. Q.) How do I know the Aqua Magnetics Power Unit is working? A.) You can tell by using the unit and observing positive effects yourself. As previously discussed, you may see scale in the water. Users tell us that deposits on toilet tank walls, in bathtubs and sinks, and on fixtures softens or disappears. This is often the product of the same scale -causing elements which wreak havoc with your pipes. Users also report that they need less detergent and that their dishes or laundry are cleaner. Q.) Will the Aqua Magnetics Power Unit damage my pipes in any way? A.) No. In some cases, however, scale build-up can actually plug leaks in pipes. As scale is removed, you may need to repair your pipes. ( p i Y t F Q.) Is water that has passed through a magnetic field safe for water- ing plants, gardens and lawns? A.) Since the Aqua Magnetics Power Unit neither adds anything nor removes anything from your water supply, your water is safe for gardening and irrigating purposes. None of our users have re- ported any negative effects. The exception would be if your water was not usable for gardening and Irrigation before treat• ment of any kind.

"Water pressure in our taps has improved at least 2514, and we no longer have spotting or accumulation of hard calcium deposits on the chrome sink and fixtures. Now any ,potting wipes off easily, where formerly we had to srrape off the calcium in order to keep the fixtures clean." R.S.K., Arnprior, Ontario "To my absolute astonishment, in less than ten days the deposits have fallen off of the toilet tank walls, the water is flowing faster through the pipes and the shower heads are not now squirting in every direction. That little unit actually really does work." M.U.S., Raytown, MO Humldiffere/Distillers/Vaporizers ... "When you challenged me with your product, I said "Make it do a Job on humidifiers, and then I'll believe you." Two heating sea- sons later when I removed a unit and found the pad clean, plus just loose sludge in the pan that washed clean without acid or work into the sink — I became less of a skeptic." N.S., Consultant Engineer, Edina, MN "But even with soft water, we had always experienced a soft corrosive build-up in and on our humidifiers. We have 5 humidifiers in our home to control the dry cold winter air in northern Wisconsin. One in the hot air dud of our gas furnace, one portable unit, and three enamel and stainless steel pans used with our wood burning heater. As I mentioned, a soh crumbly build-up was experienced with soft water, and after the softener went kaput, the build-up became hard and could not even be chipped off very easily. Since using 11►fi months now) Aqua Magnetic treated water, the corrosion has become soft enough to clean off easily and since the cleaning was done, there Is noevidenceof any build-up at all. We also have a small stainless steel water distiller which we use for coffee and drinking water, it too, had build-up before and now the three operational containers remain sparkling free of any corrosion. We also, just recently, noticed a new limp - softness in our towels, washcloihes, socks, etc., that we never noticed before, even with soft water." L.I.S., Merrill, WI "One of the most impressive benefits from the use of the magnet- ically treated water was the effect that it had on the humidifier on the furnace, Before using magnetically treated water, It was neces- sary to clean and often replace parts such as the foam plastic belt and water tray 2 or 3 times a year. The materials would precipitate out of the water and deposit themselves on the tray and other parts of the humidifier to such a degree that they were impossible to clean off. The first winter that this magnetically treated water was used, the humidifier was used the whole season without any cleaning,' and after a full season's use, the items within the humidifier were still relatively clean and free of deposits. The deposits that were there were soh and easily removed and cleaned off the tray and other parts." R.I.L., Carver, MN Toilet Tank/Bowl .. . "However, there is much less iron staining or deposit in the water tank on the toilet. There are no problems in washing clothes or dishes. Nor in bathing. The tubs (bath and laundry) and sinks are easy to keep clean." H.C.B., Kenosha, WI El Uses Less Snap ... "1 think the water c onditioner is great. Keing a working woman, mother and wife, cleaning time is very limited, but not such a chore now. My clothes seem cleaner, by the way, I have cut my clothes rleaning soap clown to 1/8 cup fora 12 to 20 pound loarl!" Mrs. T.K., Woodbury, MN Scale Removal ... "it has now keen a little over 6 weeks since the installation of the Aqua unit and I'm delighted to inform you the crustation is gone. Frankly, I'm extremely impressed and highly recommend the Aqua unit." Mrs. R.D., Clearlake Oaks, CA Water Heater .. . "The water heater was performing so well we had to turn clown the heat control." A.V., Chaska, MN Shower/Bath ... "After 3 weeks, my wife, who was very skeptical in the beginning noticed the following changes: the water tasted better, the glasses and silverware in the dishwasher were no longer cloudy and were much less spotty. The shower enclosure stayed cleaner and for the first time in 3 years our drain in the shower does not clog up." I.E.B., Poway, CA Iron Problem ... "The solution you suggested to the serious iron problem in my water well is working fantasticallyl It's hard to believe that such a simple solution works so well. A small amount of water is recircu- lated directly back into the well after it passes through one of your Model Hit units. The amount of iron in our well water is 3 mg/1 which is about 10 times the national average. This large amount of iron very quickly and thoroughly discolors the sinks, bathtubs, and toilet bowls within just a few days. Conventional water softeners did little to help the problem. Since we put the small recirculating line un uu► water system with one of your Aqua Magnetics units, we have gone over four weeks without experiencing the same staining problems. My wife is particularly happy because she said that in the past, the fixtures would have to be scrubbed out every three days. What was done to our well was both simple and inexpensive. A small humidifier tapper type valve was installed on one of the pipelines after drilling a 1/8" hole. A small 0/4') plastic tube was run from the valve to the well casing pipe and into the pipe for about six feet. The Aqua Magnetics H/1 unit was placed on the plastic tube close to the valve. Now that the system has demon- strated its ability to deal with the iron, all that remains is to winterize the installation. The plastic tube that was installed was clear and within a few days it turned red in color, which apparently does not affect the performance of the unit. When you first told me about the solution to the iron problem, I was skeptical, but the excellent performance of the Aqua Magnet- ics unit has made me a believer. It works!" R.I.L., Carver, MN Car WashinWiletter Drainage .. . "Since the installation of this magnet,) have found the following things to occur: 1. Using less washing powder to wash clothes. MOE a Magnefics Power Units sa (We have signed letters on file) 2. The clothes come out cleaner in the wash (especially white socks and white football pants). 3. Cleaner shower with less cleaning, no water spots on the ceramic tile and the shower doors. A. Sink and tub faucets stay shinier with less cleaning. 5. Ring -around -the -tub is gone. 6. Cas washing leaves no water spots when rinsed well. 7. Better drainage in the sinks and the tubs. 8. Toilets flush with much more force and toilet tanks are clean. 9. We have noticed an increase in the water pressure throughout the house. This is really great. You made a believer out of us. Thanks. D. B., Raceland, LA Less Water Usage and Greater Soap Suds .. . "Several reasons why we chose this are: - Less Expensive (compared to water softener) - Better for health (no salt intake) Less water usage (no softener cycle required) When a comparison was made, it was noted that the soapsuds in the water from the magnetized water were greater and lasted longer, Would you believe, even the taste of the magnetized water tasted better. Thank you for introducing this water device to us." D. S., Iron ... "Just want to tell you how happy we are with the water treatment system we just recently purchased from you. It is just like a miracle. The sinks do not turn yellow from the Iron in the water, of which we had so much, and before we had the water treatment the white clothes in the laundry turned yellow in just a short time, even though I used bleaches to help keep them white. It also takes less detergent now than before. Our water is crystal clear now and no sediment of any kind, thanks to you." B.H., Eaton, OH Coffee Makers ... "1 have found your magnetic unit stops and soften the shale in our kettle. This was very bad in our kettle and also in our coffee maker. The coffee maker previously had to be cleaned every week and now we haven't cleaned it for 2 months and it is still working fine. I do say it's great for the scale." W.W., Salmon Arm, B.C. Heat Pump ... "Air Condition — Wonderful right off — (My air condition is both heat and air) we noticed a big change in its operation — Was operating continually— now will go off and on and maintains heat and air more to normal — This particular air condition was an electric eater not now —Bill has been reduced to $10.00 this past month. If I did not think these worked all three would I have purchased 6 Air condition Malls — 2 Water and 2 fuel. How they work I have no idea yet. I am one convinced customer." Mrs. S W., Paincourt LA Shower Dvers/Scalp ... "Our shower doors which looked like they were clouded and no amount of scrubbing kept them clean, are clear and shiny with hardly any cleaning. The hard water residue on our taps in the bathroom as well as the kitchen is completely gone with less than a third the cleaning. The build up is nil. Also I have really noticed a marked difference in my hair and in the elimination of an itchy scalp condition that I had." M.A., Salmon Arm, B.C. Skin ... "I want you to know how very pleased I am with my Aqua Magnetic Water Conditioner. Since you installed it, I have no more trouble with my skin. I was breaking out and my skin was very sore before I had the Aqua Magnetic Water Conditioner installed. This wonderful little device surely does a magnificent job. My drinking water is also better in taste and I find my sinks are always shining now." Mrs. G.P.I., Chester, New York Iron Problem ... "We now realize how bad an iron problem we had. Our fixtures are much cleaner and don't have to be cleaned as often. We are no longer embarrassed to have company in our home. My wife finds the laundry comes out much nicer now and is no longer finding stains in clothing. She used to be embarrassed when company came and the towels, no matter how new, looked so stiff and stained. Now they look new no matter how many times they have been washed. We are surprised how much sediment there is when we change the filter. To think we used to be drinking that. Our thanks to you." B.A., Goshen, New York Water Pressure Increased ... "What a difference since you installed our water conditioner. Our water pressure has Increased. We have to clean the sediment from the faucets since you put It in. Now that all that has flushed through the water pressure is great. It is easy to clean away any lime buildup because it is much softer now and does not have to be chipped away. We find we use much less soap for doing dishes and laundry. Things come cleaner and feel much nicer. No more problems with stains on laundry or spots on dishes." C.I.S., Goshen, New York Uses less Soap/Dishes No longer Spotted ... "Since you Installed the Aqua Magnetic Water Conditioner in my home, I have noticed several different things I would like totell you about. My dishes are no longer spotted and I don't have to use as much detergent.) have also cut down on the amount of detergent I use in my washing machine. I have noticed a difference in my skin after showering or washing my hands. I no longer have to use a lot of lotion to put moisture back in my skin. I knew our water was hard but had no idea just how bad it was. Your unit has been a tremendous help to me. S.S., Goshen, New York Taste Better ... The second "C-1 " went onto the boiler of my own home, which is a one family supplied by a well. We experienced the following benefits, the water is softer; we use less bathing and dish soap; a slow flowing drain now flows more freely; my wife no longer complains of itchy skin after a shower; our coffee taste better; we a now useless gas to heat the water; and (ail i um deposits have now been dissolved and exist no longer. We usv to cxperiencc while crystalization deposits around the inside of our cooking utonsils and this too has been eliminated." W.I., New Brunswick, NI COMMERCIAL: Scale Removal. . "It's unbellevahle the amount of scale that we removed from the pools. Both pools also are much clearer and seem to take less chemicals." G.W., Manager, San Juan Capistrano, CA Photo Processor ... "After cleaning color processor tanks they stayed clean. Filters have not been changed on processor, half as much. No sand and grit on color prints." A.V., Chaska, MN Swimming Pool/lacuzzi ... "Since the installation of the Aqua Magnetic Unit on our Olympic -size swimming pool and Jacuzzi, we have noticed a great improvement in the quality of the water. The pools are cleaner and the water is much clearer." N.R.N., President, Newhall, CA "After installing the Aqua Magnetic B-100 units the heating time has dropped about fifty per cent also these units have cleaned out the lime scale in the heaters." G.W„ Manager, San Juan Capistrano, CA "9 have a Jacuzzi and Pool which are heated by Solar Panels. The system utilizes a 3 H.P. pump for power. We installed a C-2 Aqua Magnetic unit on the 2" P.V.C. line, between the pump and the boiler. After the unit was installed, we ran the pump for 6 hours a day, for approximately one week, and were testing the water daily. We reduced the time to 4 hours and at the end of one mouth, we had reduced the pumping time to 3 hours, and in that month we did not add any chemicals to the pool. The pumping time necessary to adequately heat the large pool is approximately 4 hours. Due to power costs, we wanted to see the minimum pumping time, where we would have no algae, so we could cut out costs, when we were on vacation, or did not wish to heat the pool. We believe a conservative estimate of our savings, from using the C-2 Aqua Magnetic unit. due to the reduction of power costs and chemical additive costs to be approximately $30.00 per month. H.R., Dana Point, CA ke Makers ... "1 purchased the Model H/I Plus unit on October 20,1980. It was installed on 400 lb. Ice Machine, Oct. 24, 1980, attached to a 1 /2 Inch copper line, 6 ft. in front of the pump that circulates to the Freezing Grid. At time of installation there was considerable amount of scale on the pump base, and also on the freezing grid. The 2 plastic pipes that allows an even flow of water down over the freezing grid, had to be cleaned out every 5 days, all summer long. 1 did not attempt to clean out the scale prior to installing the H/1 Plus unit. Todate 1 have not had tocleanany of the water flow lines or pipes. The freezing grids are clean and free of any scale, and the Ice -cubes are freezing to full size and they are almost crystal-clear. did take out the pump -motor, and removed some half a cup of loose scale, in pump reservoir, also no scale buildup in the plastic pipes „ I•E.D., Hutchinson, KS INDUSTRIAL: Cleans Boilers. , , "Last April we cleaned the system and installed the Aqua Magnet- ics Commercial Power Units. We ran hot water for a month and ID quit using it. We slatted again in November 1979 and ran until January H, 1980. This was the normal lime to shut clown and run the ac id through. When we Inspected the tubes they were as c lean as they ever had been with no lime build up." P.I.R., President, Cuncreto Company, Cedar Rapids, IA "The results were dramatic. Within thirty days previously cold radiators began to heat. My building superintendent noticed an unusual amount of rust deposits being flushed from the boiler at regular intervals. This took us to the end of the 19711-1979 heating season." T.C.D., Attorney, Farihault, MN Good Investment ... "We feel we have saved the cost of the power units in one year. Every year will bring us a savings of $1,000.00 to $1,500.00 plus the labor and down time." P.J.R., President, Concrete Company, Cedar Rapids, IA "I honestly believe that your magnets saved me a projected plumbing expense of at least $10,000.00, not including whatever the cost of radiator replacement might have been." T.C.D., Attorney, Faribault, MN Saves Chemicals .. . "In addition, a smaller amount of chemicals are required." N.R.N., President, Newhall, CA "Two or three times a year we would shut the system down and use carbide brushes in the tubes and chip the tank. We found a good safe acid that we have been using in recent years. Each time we used it the cost was about $500.00 plus labor and down time. The total cost per season has been $1,000.00 to $1,500.00, de- pending on how many times we shut the system down." P,I.R., President, Concrete Company, Cedar Rapids, IA Saves Energy... "One additional factor which I almost overlooked is that previ- ously 1 had to operate my boiler at about seven pounds pressure to "force" the steam through the system. I have been able to reduce the operating pressure to 3r/a pounds, and the mineral deposits have been removed from the radiators and return lines. I get more heat from my boiler operating at 3'/a pounds pressure than I did under seven pounds pressure," T.C.D., Attorney, Faribault, MN Cleans Fountains ... "As of today, following six months of use of the Aqua Magnetic Power Units, the system moves appreciably more water; the in- creased flow rates are visually apparent. Unfortunately, we did not perform the truly scientific approach of taking careful meas- urements of GPM flow rates and pressure losses before and after the test. Frankly, there was considerable skepticism on the part of all (myself included) that the simple addition of these devices would result in any significant improvement In the pumping capacity of the system, so no "before and after" testing was considered appropriate. The devices were added nonetheless from a "what's there to lose" approach; any improvement would be welcomed. Not only are the flow rates visibly greater, there was considerable evidence in the pool itself of the release of large deposits of copper sulphate from the piping system. The display nozzles are a morn- ing glory type nozzle, that flow water in a circular pattern. Ac- cumulations of copper sulphate were clearly visible on the pool floor in such a pattern directly below the point of nozzle water impact with the surface, indicating insoluble materials had been pumped through the system, out the nozzles, and accumulated around each in a pattern duplicating the water flow from the nozzle(s). This visible evidence, along with the higher pumping rates (quite clear to me, with many years of experience in fountain piping systems and their hydraulics) was totally conAncing re- garding the effectiveness of these devices. In the future, the Aqua Magnetic Power Units will he given consid- eration for use on every fountain system designed in ►his office, as I am now convinced their use will be an imporloat and valuable contribution to the maintenance of fountain recirculating systems in pristine condition." P.P.P., Jr., San Carlos, CA Ice Makers .. . "1 just wanted to tell you how pleased we are with the performance of the Aqua Magnetics unit which you installed on our ice maker. Because of the high hardness of our local water we used to have constant problems with lime buildup. Aside from the trouble of trying to keep it cleaned off, pieces of lime would break off and freeze in the ice making it unusable for beverages. Within two weeks after you installed the Aqua Magnetics unit the lime build-up was gone and has not returned, The ice is clean and clear and our cleaning problem has been eliminated." K.M., Owner Restaurant, Eaton, OH Radiator More Heat ... "I have placed a model "C-1" in my office building, which consist of three offices; a church and two apartment above, a total of twelve rooms. The building is supplied by City Water, heated by steam produced from an oil fired boiler. Last year we attempted to maintain a 750 control on the thermostat, the tenants consistently complained of not enough heat. We had to raise the setting as high as 78° to meet their satisfaction. We had placed the "C-1" on the watersupply during September 1981, we nowexperience a setting of 72° without complaints. Starting In September of 1981 we continued flushing out the lines as the rust scaling was loosened by the magnetic treatment. We now find that we no longer taste chlorine and all the radiators are now producing heat. Needless to say, this is saving fuel costs as well as not having to respond to tenants complaints about not having adequate heat." W.I., New Brunswick, NJ FUEL LINES: Diesel "To get to the point, approximately one month ago I installed one of your Aqua Magnetics unit on an I.H. Diesel engine truck, with the idea In mind that it would improve my mileage per gallon, plus the constant problem of build-up of corrosion In the filters and gas lines. Needless to say,► was very skeptical as to whether this was going to bring any results at all. 1 would like to report after ap- proximately one month of use we have improved the number of miles per gallon of diesel fuel by 30% and to date have driven 5000 miles over the normal time on the filter and it is still going strong." I.C.M., President, Trucking Company, Ft. Wayne, IN Bus ,,We used your unit H/1 on one of our buses which is operating at the San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant for 6 weeks. Before using this unit we were averaging about 5 miles per gallon. After using your unit we found we had increased our MPG by 2 miles." G.L.H., President, Bus Company, San Clemente, CA Truck Gasoline "I own a 1979 GMC, 1/2 ton pickup, with approximately 16,000 miles on It. I have kept mileage records for the previous 1,000 miles before installing an Aqua Magnetic H/I unit on the truck. The best mileage that I was able to obtain was 16.5 mpg, with the average being even lower. After installation of the H/I unit, my mileage increased to 19.3 mpg on the first filling. Since that time I have had 19.2 mpg, 19.5 mpg, 20.2 mpg, and 19.7 mpg." R.C., Electrical Contractor, Capistrano Beach, CA "We installed the unit on a ford one tort parker truck with 110,000 km. on it. This engine is on non -slop servo a while the truck is on opmatiun revving and idling, moving and stopping. We previously were able to get only about 4 y2 hours of operation from a 16 gallon tank of gas. I am pleased to say that we have experionc ed a 40,71, increase and now get 6 hours from the tank. In addition, the engine runs more smoothly and starts easier and we anticipate fewer tune-ups through use of the Petro-Mag." D.R. Manager, Garbage Disposal Service, B.C.

Mrs. M.W., Paincourt, LA Natural Gas ... "Here is the testimonial you wanted on my experiences with magnets used on my natural gas line. Besides not being able to come to Minneapolis the 14th; it is also the opening of pheasant season in Kansas, and we live in the heart of the finest hunting. We'll be having a houseful of guests. Sorry. On December 1, 1980 1 placed an Aqua Magnetics Model A magnet on the steel 1" natural gas line in my home. At that time I talked with the local Kansas Power and Light employees, and they agreed to observe the results. The utility company selected a house which had the identical fuel usage the previous three years as did my house. This period of time included the coldest recorded winters in Kansas, so the house comparisons have to be reasonably accurate. During the 1981 heating season my house used approximately I BVI; percent less fuel than the house without the magnet on its gas line.

Amerada -Hess Corp. 121 Installuflon L Mifintenonce Q.) Is it really that easy to install an Aqua Magnetics Power Unit? A.) Installing your Aqua Magnetics Power Unit Is simple. You can do it yourself. Since the unit is so compact and attaches to the outside of the main inflow pipe, it requires no plumbing, splicing, or costly modifications. In fact, if your pipe is within easy access, Installing your unit is not at all difficult. Q.) Can I install an Aqua Magnetics Power Unit underground? A.) Yes, but the unit should not be exposed to excessive moisture or immersed in water. You can prevent possible rusting of the metal plates by wrapping a plastic bag securely around the unit, or employing other means which will keep the moisture out of the unit. Q.) If I want to install an Aqua Magnetics Power Unit at my well, should 1 put it before or after the storage tank? A.) Mount the unit on the pipe where water LEAVES your storage tank. If water that has passed through a magnetic field is left static for several hours, some of the beneficial properties are lessened. Q.) If I want to use an Aqua Magnetics Power Unit to treat my hot water, do I install it before or after the hot water heater? A.) We recommend mounting the unit before your hot water tank If the water is static for less than 12 hours and after your tank if the static storage time is more than 12 hours. Make sure that there is a distance of 3-S feet of pipe before the tank. Q.) Do extreme temperatures affect the performance of the Aqua Magnetics Power Unit? How do I protect the unit from extreme temperatures? A.) The unit Is not adversely affected by extreme temperatures normally associated with a home installation. For severe tem- peratures in commercial installations, contact your distributor. Q.) If I have two residences for different times of the year, what good will the Aqua Magnetics Power Unit do for me? A.► Use the Aqua Magnetics Power Unit a1 both residences. Since installation is simple, you can take the unit with you. Even if you spend only a few weeks at one of the residences, the unit should help with your hard water problems. Q.1 Are there any installation fees for the Aqua Magnetics Power Unit? A.) Not if you install the unit yourself. If a local Aqua Magnetics distributor installs it for you, he may charge a nominal fee. Q.) Are there any maintenance requirements for the Aqua Mag- netics Power Unit? A.) There are NO maintenance requirements needed once you have properly installed the Aqua Magnetics Power Unit on your main In -flow pipe. As mentioned earlier, you may have to empty your faucet strainers several times for the first few months. You are not bothered with periodic service calls, replacement of tanks, or the purchase of expensive chemicals. Q.) What are the terms of your guarantee? A.1 Aqua Magnetics Incorporated offers a limited manufacturer's warranty for defects in material and workmanship. Under this warranty, you may return your unit to the distributor from whom you purchased it as specified in our warranty.

We (Travcam) have found certain things to be constant and of use to us in the preperation of this addendum. TIME There is a time slot in which people, who are interested and can afford to re -locate, are the most active in a years time. This time slot is highly condusive to the time schedual as submitted in the original proposal for the maximum effectiveness of a P.R. campaign. AVAILABLE MEDIA Because of production cost and the cost of air time, television is not a consideration. There are no radio stations in the state that reach the slope. How- ever, there are two radio stations that the 1982 Market Analysis indicate as being effective in reaching our target group in Anchorage. These sta- tions account for as much as 40.4% of the listening Anchorage market per day. One is Soft -Rock, the other is Country Western. Their market is adults between the ages of 25-54. There are two print media publications. One circulates directly to the slope. The other, more or less, indirectly. COST Travcam will charge 15% of the cost of advertising in the suggested areas to follow as a production and arrangement fee. Radio Travcam will produce five radio commercials using the basic theme as mentioned in the original proposal to be rotated in the plan chosen by coun- cil from the attached sheet (A-1). Both of the likly radio stations charge about the same for advertising. A more accurate cost statement would depend on councils' choice. i Print - Magazine and Other Publications There are two air services that charter for the major companies that I work the slope. One no longer publishes an in-flight magazine, the other does on a monthly basis. The one magazine that does still publish is the most widely circulated not only on board the aircraft but throughout the area the airline services. We suggest that a 1/3 page ad would be sufficient. A 1/3 page ad would cost $480 an issue or $680 for a full page color ad, per issue. The one publication that circulates directly to the slope charges a flat $3.00 a column inch with color costing $50 per color (there are 4 colors ► ' in a full color ad) per issue and they publish 4 times a month. ! f WN STATEMENT OF INTENT It is our intention at Travcam to serve the Council as fully as possible. To this end we have offered Travel Posters, Brochures, Radio Advertise- ment and Magazine Advertisement as parts of our proposal that we feel with negotiation will fall well within the alloted sum given by the City as their maximum spending allotment. However, it has probably not gone un-noticed that certain information in the Addendum seem to be somewhat vauge. This is because Travcam has spent a good deal of its own time and expense in research and analysis and contacting state wide agencies. Such facts and information would be of great assistance to our competitors and as we are not in business to help our competitors, certain information must remain our knowledge until an agreement is reached between Travcam and the City. We at Travcam are with great resource and do look forward to doing buisiness with the City.

As understood, the Focus Group fits the following criteria: Young family people with one or both spouses working in the mid range sector of butiness and labor. Those people who, by the nature of their employment, have the option of being able to live anywhere in the state they choose while maintaining employment at a separate location, i.e., Slope workers, contract construction workers, union work- ers and mid -range management executives. The message of the project is that Kenai is a better place to live. However, because of high unemployment already existing in the Kenai• area, the main thrust of the message is the better life here and not the employment opportunities. THE METHOD The purposed method of cummunicating with the focus group utilizes two proven.forms of disseminating information. The Travel Poster and Brochure. However, in this case a matching set. A. The Travel Poster 1. Because of their high visibility and wide range of possible circulation, travel posters are ideal for establishing name identification and recognition. 2. Also, if the poster is combined with a subtly subjective statement or slogen, idea identification is established. 3. Dimensions of the purposed Kenai Travel Poster will be a full color print, 20" X 26" with a white band running down the left hand side with the word "KENAI" printed proportion- atly and ascetically large enough to be seen from a distance. The statement or slogen, "Where Good Things Still Happen", will be in the right hand corner in stylized print. At Travcam we have several ideas and concepts we favor for the poster photograph. However, there is one idea we like more than the others. We purpose choosing a young girl, between the ages of 3.to 5 years and setting her in several differant surroundings to depict the serenity of the area, to show a life-style free of conjested highways, free of vicious crime, free of crowed living. And to show that there is a place, Kenai, where those good things, that most of us came here to real- ize, are still happening. It goes without saying that any photography will be subject to Council approval. B. The Brochure 1. There is no substitute for the brochure format when it comes to containment of a large amount of statistical information. 2. Dimensions a. 4" X B". Three panel full color inside and out with the same photo on the front of the brochure as on the poster. 3. Copy Information a. Comparitive information on schools, recreational facilities, taxes and assessments, roads and airport accomodations as well as statements on community in- volvement in the areas of the elderly and the young political social clubs and religious groups. 4. Photography a. There will be color photos as a supportive element as needed. THE DESIRED RESPONSE If a person is seriously looking or comtinplating a move within the state, and they fit the above mentioned criteria, they will be either consciously or subconsciously open to suggestion. The high visibility and wide circulation of the travel poster will suggest, repeatedly, an alternAtive option thereby setting in the mind our subjective claim of the better life. Once the suggestion is planted, that person, who is looking for a better place, will begin seeking more information at those places where that information is available. The matching brochure will be at those places the person would look and the process of association between the poster and the brochure will compel that person to check the facts as furnished by us in the brochure.

Box 580 Kenai, Alaska 99611 Dear Mr. Swalley: Enclosed are 6 copies of a preapplication for Federal assistance. The avail- ability of Federal funds is limited, so this request is the maximum you can expect. Work included in the preapplication is as follows: 1. The asphaltic overlay of the original airport apron, 750 x 400, for a total estimated cost of $475,000 including repair of the apron "frost hump". 2. The acquisition of land required for present and future needs of the sea plane base construction at an estimated cost of $490,000. T e total project cost of $9659000 includes Federal funds of $904,688 ($410,866 discretionary) and $60,312 of sponsor funds. The State may contribute half of the sponsor funds, or $30,iS6. In order to justify the acquisition of the SWI of Sec. 29, your airport layout plan and report requires updating. This should be done as a part of the docu- mentation package which accompanies your preapplication for Federal assis- tance. In order to expedite your submission, we have used word justification, which may be sufficient for this time. If the requested funds must be reduced, the land acquisition costs, if incur- red, are eligible for reimbursement from your 1984 allotment. This allotment will be available after 1 October 1983. 1 have discussed your preapplication with the DOT Planner, Mr. Stan McAllister (266-1455). He is unable to commit the State to any action prior to receipt of an official requeste. However, he seemed to be encouraging. Sincerely, WIC CO THELL-any Pori / 7 Donald Glen Wilcox, P.E.

Acouirition The Kenai Airport Master Plan of 1n7P recommends the construction of a sea plane base west of the main runway. The City Council has expressed its desire to accommodate the regional demand for a centralized sea plane base. They plan for an expansion that will provice the aviation population with adequate operating areas along with a location for fired base operators who will furnish enhanced service, maintenance and. security. The cost of the completed facilities; water and taxi lanes, aircraft parking, roads, utilities, other site preparation and land acquisition is estimated to be more than 8 million 1982 oollars. In order to accommodate the expected availability of funding and time phased construction, we propose to purchase the land necessary for the present and future requirements under this project. The proposed acquisition includes all of the SW4 of Section 29 R11W, TO, S.M. The property is under single ownership and has not been subdivided. The area outside of the recommended airport boundry would be used to dispose of the excess material excavated from the water runway, taxi lanes and parking areas. The adjacent disposal area would substantially reduce the costs of the neces- sary construction excavation. The fill should also enhance the land value. The City would retain the option of selling, to reduce the project cost, or hold it for future general aviation development and a noise buffer zone. Terminal Aaron Reconstruction The airport terminal parking apron was built in 1964. The construction consist- ed of 3 inches of asphalt concrete placed on a crushed base course and sand subbase. The asphalt surface now shows lions of serious distress due to con- stant use and doe. The airport management has determined that continued main- tenance is no longer cost effective, as the pavement is almost at the end of its useful life. The terminal ramp asphaltic cement has served its purpose for more than 18 years, d term well over the national average. We propose to overlay the existing apron with fabric and apply a new 2" asphalt surface. In addition, a portion of the apron surface "heaves" during the winter. The frost susceptible area, 50' wide and 400' long, will be excavated and backfill- ed with new material and paved with 3 inches of asphalt. 0 J' F 6M • 1 / LAND TD a ACQUIRED -_4. 73` r Is WATER uarA= foo AREA COW FACIO1195 MALIC PARKING , ..�/ /•- , • _s Ifi{tt 6 14b�ydp;' i..� R/v/ , T,%V.

Completed by City Administration September 1982 r MANNER AND METHOD OF CONDUCTING WATER AND SEWER SURVEY IN THOMPSON PARR SUBDIVISION The necessity for doing this survey was to clarify from the City's standpoint conflicting requests coming from residents of Thompson Park in relation to their wants, needs or desires in relationship to installing water and sewer lines in said subdivision. Administration wrote a letter on July 19, 2982 to which was attached a questionnaire designed to provide the information needed by the City to either proceed or to abandon the idea of installing water and sewer in Thompson Park. Copies of the letter and the questionnaire are attached with this analysis. One of the major differences of this survey and other surveys was this questionnaire went to every property owner in Thompson Park and every property owner was alloted the number of votes on the questionnaire in'relationship to the number of lots he or she owned in the subdivision. The breakdown on the owners was 84 and those 84 owners own 141 lots. There was a key retained in the office to determine how many lots each property owner had and therefore the percentage results are given in terms of the number of lots and not the number of resident owners. This interpretation becomes extremely important when we consider one of the alternatives of installation of said lines is on the basis of a special tax district. Under those circumstances, an owner of five lots would have to pay five times what an owner of a single lot would have to pay and it was felt that a truer picture would therefore be forecast. It was stipulated in the original letter that the owners had 30 days to respond to the questionnaire, however since there were questionnaires being returned on an intermittent basis the T results are comprised of all of the questionnaires returned up to September 27, 1962. Additional justification for such a long response period was that the questionnaire was sent out at the height of the vacation season and many residents would not have had an opportunity to express there opinions. 1 A It was indicated by the tax roles as of September 1962, 70 lots hao improvements. It was also indicated in the letter that any property owner who did not respond by completing and returning the questionnaire that the number of lots owned by said non -respondent would show up in the results of the survey as negative responses. The purpose of this requirement was to stimulate as many responses as possible, and in addition force 100% of property owners to express by action or inaction their desires on the question. As has already been mentioned, there are 84 property owners in Thompson Park and 71 of those returned their questionnaires which represents a return factor of 858. This is's high return and "probably" represents an intense interest in the question. However, since the sampling frame was designed to force 100% participation due to the fact all questionnaiies (returned or not) were to be used in the analysis it is difficult, if not impossible, to interpret the high return response. The break-out of the following percentages may seem awkward to you, but the simplest way to explain it is to indicate Exhibit "A" represents responses in relation to the number of lots involved and Exhibit "8" represents responses in relation to the number of owners involved. . 2 1 EXHIBIT "A" (Lots) QUESTIONNAIRE FOR RESIDENTS OF THOMPSON PARK SUBDIVISION WITHIN THE CITY OF KENAI i Please be advised the return of the completed questionnaire is of the utmost importance to the owners of the real estate in Thompson Park Subdivision. 1.

SOX $00 KINAI, ALASKA 99611 TIMMONS 908 - 7000 October 22, 1982 MEMORANDUM TO: Wm. J. Brighton, City Manager FROM: Dana Gerstlauer, Administrative Assistant RE: Word Processing Equipment Per your request, I have collected information on different types of word processing equipment. Mary Ann and I visited Compucorp, Lanier, Exxon and Burroughs in Anchorage and had demonstrations and the opportunity to type on each brand. I have attached the collected information and added my comments on each. I found that all of the companies offer similar packages, with the major differences being price and service. Also, I have attached the requests from the different departments specifying what they would like to have in a word processor. Mary Ann and I have also listed the problems we are now experiencing with our Hazeltine equipment. /d Attachments EXXON 520 FEATURES * Block & move text within page, or from page to page * Multiple formats within one document * Global search and replace * Column layout (typist has to set up spacing) * Mathematics software (multiply,divide, add, subtract) * Dictionary (50,000 words, 10,000 "look -up" dictionary, where system tells you the correct spelling of the word) * Merge standard text w/variable text * Forms layout * CP/M available for using data processing programs and using equipment as computer terminal. * Ability to continue editing while printing * Screen is 256 characters wide for maximum column layout * 10 key pad on keyboard for computations * 10, 12,.15, & proportional spacing * Records processing SERVICE * Without a service agreement ---if a part goes bad, we call technician in Anchorage, they help us identify problem, we ship affected part to Anchorage, they repair and return it within 24 hours. * With purchase agreement ---they will fly a repairman down to Kenai to repair equipment. TRAINING * Operators will be trained in Kenai (included in price) PRICING Exxon 520, w/ Dual Disk Drive, 50 cps Printer w/ tractor i d, software (including mathematics and dictionary): $10,009.00/each*** Freight and installation per machines $360.00 TOTAL FOR 5 MACHINES: $51,845.00 Service Agreement: $1,332.48/year per machine. ***For Finance Department, add $640.00 for CP/M capability and "Supercalc" software for statistical typing. COMMENTS ON EXXON AND COMPUCORP Exxon and Compucorp are basically the same piece of equipment with different coverings. Compucorp was bought by Exxon and modified slightly. After operating both brands, I found them to be very similar, with Compucorp a little easier to type on. Both have an excellent software program with a wide range of capabilities to cover all needs in the various departments. They both offer training and installation in Kenai. Service for both is out of Anchorage. The basic difference, that I could find, was that the Compucorp system offered a "Winchester" steel disk drives which is one that you can transfer all of your information to for permanent storage so that the "floppy" disks are not taken up. Exxon said that the "Winchester" drive would be available to them in the near future. 0 n'i__ -^-�` - �`��+.�.�.t:i%iY�*'R!'Y#w�$rt1�;r�t�w.�'�i ,7j;'-�'-�`-"'F.?r��� -=eF•r�•�'_�:Jq,�i- .1'.., +yv. .,Z. _„4. . _-�g..z„r.—�''� r. s r - F e.

PRICING ***NOTE: Burroughs does not sell their software, but only leases it to the user, thus an annual fee for software.

Service Agmt: 1,497.00/annually per machine COMMENTS ON BURROUGHS Burroughs did not have their equipment available for demonstration to us while we were in Anchorage. After asking questions and reading their literature, I came up with the following notes: * There is no 10-key pad on machine, you have a code that lets you use an alpha equivalent (Example: a = 1, b = 2, etc.) * The math package does not automatically re -add columns if numbers are changed. * There is no dictionary in the software package. * The Burroughs representative stressed the ability to upgrade in the future more than anything else. He spent a considerable amount of time on the Ofisreader and Ofisfiling systems, which cost approximately $100,000.00 and are not being considered i at this time. u LANIER EZ-1 FEATURES * Automatically stores information on disk so no text is lost * Typist can enter and edit 200 pages at one time * Block and move text within page, or from page to page * Ability to print and edit simultaneously * Mathematics software * 10 key pad for computations * 10, 12, 15 & proportional spacing * Dictionary (88,000 words plus 6,500 of your own words) * Merge standard w/variable text * Records processing * 28 line screen * Screen is 145 characters wide * Winchester (steel) disk drive available SERVICE * Equipment serviced from Barrett Office Supply in Soldotna, same day service or they give you a "loaner" machine to use.

It seemed to me to have excessive coding necessary to accomplish tasks that were very easy on the other brands. Part of our present problem with our current word processing equipment is the time taken by coding. The Lanier did have several attractive features, such as the automatic storage capability, very desirable when the power goes off, no text is lost. The time they spend in training and service is above average also. F A The'remarkableEZol it - 'i'r , , i3 '1. .!!.: i;"7�•'` .,�-.'•:' ":/;r..l.

ALASKA 99611 TELEPHONE 9E6 • 769E MEMORANDUM TO: Tim Rogers, City Attorne�, FROM: Mary Ann Dore, Legal Secretary RE: Desires for a New Word Processing System DATE: October 25, 1982 Tuesday, October 19th, Dana and I reviewed four different word processing systems. We appreciated the opportunity to review first hand these systems to see what they had to offer. I am summarizing some of my desires for a workable system for the entire office. With all of us having our own systems, it is very difficult to fill in when someone is off work. As Dana and I are the only ones who can operate our computers, if both of us would be off at the same time, our machines would be inaccessible by any of the other secretaries. Also, if Jan Taylor or Janet Whelan need help, it is difficult to pick up where they left off as Jan Taylor has no word processing equipment and Janet Whelan has a mag card. If we all had the same equipment, our work could be easily passed to another secretary who is available to fill in. I feel that word processing equipment for the City should be reviewed with the future in mind. There is only one way to go and that is word processing equipment -- typewriters and mag card machines are obsolete. Our system should be EASY to operate using simple to use keys instead of our present system. There is no logic to our codes and you have to have a list handy just to remember which way to go. Some of the desired features I would like to see in a word processing system area 1. Automatic Storage — That means that as soon as you start your next line of text, material is automatically stored to i diskette. (Our present system does not have that feature and ( many times we have lost our material due to a power fluctuation) I, I 1 r ' f 2. Larger Storage Capacity - Some of the word processing systems we reviewed had as much as a 300 page storage capacity. (Our present system has a 67 page capacity, limiting each file to QQJX 12 pages) 3. Edit While Printing - I would like to be able to continue typing while my printer is printing text. (Our present system requires that we wait until text is printed before we can continue typing) 4. Dictionary - I feel this is a very good feature as the machine verifies your spelling. All that is required is to proof read for grammar. It is impossible to catch your errors all the time and this dictionary feature would save.unnecessary embarrassment of a mispelled word. 5. Selective Retrieval of Records - I have a very large project that I would like to put on my computer listing all of the legal files, both open and closed, listing the subject of each file. Then I can recall all files that deal with a given topic containing key words, and I will know in an instant which files to pull. This will make for better efficiency in our department. 6. Form Layout - I would like to see a better system for form layouts easier ordinance forms, resolution forms, legal work. 7. Typewriter - I do not have the ability to use my printer as a typewriter for labels, envelopes, or simple typing. All of the word processing systems have the ability to use the printer as a typewriter. I have to share a typewriter with Robin. B. Centering, underlining - With the new word processisg (see #4 above) systems, centering and underlining are very simple instead of having no centering capability and underlining with codes. and 2 PROBLEMS WITH HAZELTINE WORD PROCESSOR: Administrative Assistant Unable to print directories, so I have no hard copy of what I currently have sto:cd on each disk, requiring either hand writing these directories or trying each disk until the required information is found. Unable to merge standard text with variable information for mass mailings. It takes several steps to perform any function; whether it be printing a letter or trying to obtain an envelope from stored text. There is no method of typing in more than one pitch. There is no way to program this computer to print in another pitch, although the printer has the capability. No other programs have been made available to try to put information on computer for leases. There is not enough storage capacity on each diskette, requirinq one document to be placed on more than one disk. Typing columns is very difficult to do on computer and is usually done on typewriter. Machine must be programmed to type columns, requiring following a full page worth of directions. Indentation is also very difficult, requiring special coding to indent, and more coding to return to original margin. If a problem occurs with the software, as it often does, it necessitates a call to Ohio to talk to the Ohio Scientific computer programmers, often resulting in no correction of the problem. They usually do not return calls or answer our letters of inquiry. If a problem occurs with the hardware, which also happens fairly often, there is no local representative for Hazeltine. The representative from Computer Palace has'a slight knowledge of this equipment, but is not well -versed in repairing it. if a new part is needed, it has to be sent for from outside, meaning that the machine is out of commission for several days and sometimes over a week. We cannot use this equipment as you would a regular typewriter, requiring us to have regular typewriters also for the typing of file labels, labels for envelopes and purchase orders. CITY OF KENAI Vd edpdai 4 4ia"a„ I. O. goX no KINA1. ALASKA 99611 7tltiNONS M • 7536 MEMORANDUM TOs Tim Rogers, City Attorney PROMS Mary Ann Dore, Legal Secretary RES Problems with Present System DATES October 25, 1982 I would like to express my views on our present computer set-up and why I feel that we should get a new word processor system. When we purchased this equipment, Jim Agut of Scientific Business Instruments was in Anchorage. He left the state in April of 1981 and we have been without a service representative ever since. Since the computer has three separate parts, we have to call three different places to get service. We have made a total of 109 telephone calls: 40 long distance calls averaging $6.00 each since April of 1981, and 69 calls when Jim Agut was in Anchorage. The service over the phone has been deplorable as our questions were never answered on the first or the second call. Last week we called on a problem with our software and our answer was "I Just don't know." Mr. Joviaek, a member of the technical staff at Ohio Scientific Instruments in Cleveland, Ohio, did not offer to find out, but just said he did not know what the problem was. We have a Hazeltine #1420 Video Screen Terminal, if we have any problems with the terminal, we must call Huntington, New York for service. We have had at least five replacement boards since we have had the computer (approximately 2 years). This terminal is very slow and it has dropped my typing speed considerably. I have a hard time seeing the print as the glare is very bad. The computer and software are from Ohio Scientific from Cleveland, Ohio, The problems we have had with the software are too numerous to mention but I will list a few. My biggest project at the present time is the Code. I have the entire Code on diskettes, However, the entire diskette only holds 64 pages of material. The largest file can only be 12 pages long. Consequently, my Code is a combination of diskettes -- one Title encompassing as many as four different file names. In order to 1 ,a :. fI f i � r k r I r ,I i center anything I have to guuao at it, run it out, fold my paper in half, adjust it and then rerun it. To underline it taken six steps instead of one Hutton. Thoro are certain koys that are easily accessible and if ucod by mintako will goof up the machine and I have to start my work all over again. It is imponoibie to do column work as the screen only holds 00 characters, we can't adjust the margin oizoo with a code. The software is not conaiatent. 0omotimen oomo of the codos work fine, and other times things will go haywire for no reason. We cannot use our machine as a typewriter, hence the need for a typewriter to typo labols, onvelopea, etc. The only local aervico reprecontative is Computer Palace. They are capable of fixing minor problems but cannot help on major breakdowns or software malfunctionst it is very frustrating when oorvico is not readily available and valuable time is wasted waiting for a return call on oorvico questions or when parto have to be sent by mail to New York or Ohio and one week or more is needed for in -transit time. I know there is a better way because I have soon it. Thank you for your consideration of this problem. and 2 Suggested by: Councilman John Wise CITY OF KENAI ORDINANCE NO. --_-82 AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, INCREASING ESTIMATED REVENUES AND APPROPRIATIONS IN THE 1982-83 FEDERAL REVENUE SHARING FUND BY $275,000 FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A BEAVER LOOP FIRE STATION, AND DESIGNATING $250,000 FOR USE IN 1983-64 FOR PERSONNEL COSTS AT THAT FIRE STATION.

WAW/kh attachments FIRE DEFENSES FOR East Kenai from Beaver Creek to City Limits Beaver Creek is five (5) miles from the existing fire station where it crosses the Spur Highway. There are 164 improved lots with structures in five (5) Subdivisions including Thompson Park, Vahalla, Sungate, Illiamna and Basin View for an assessed value of $6,806,500. We also have 70 to 75 trailer houses in Valhalla and Highlands Trailer Park, for a grand total of 239 homes with inadequate fire protection. Here again we feel that there are only two basic options, either manned or unmanned/volunteer. One consideration that has not been discussed and could impact our entire fire defense program is the manning of any substation will automatically increase our overall manpower needs. With three men on duty in the central station and two men on at a substation, we would then have five on duty men and two engines responding and/or covering the stations.

ATTEST: �r Janet Whelan, City Clerk 2 VINCENT O'REILLI', MAYOR~ i City of Kenai Mr. Bill Brighton, City Manager P.O. Box 580 Kenai, Alaska 99611 %®. October 11, 1982 Re: Lease of Lot 8, Block 1, Etolin Sub. #2 to Alaska U.S.A. Federal Credit Union. Dear Mr. Brighton: As you are aware I introduced Alaska U.S.A. Federal Credit Union to the cities lots and ultimately represented the city in securing this lease from them. According to K.M.C. 21.10.110 (a) ERA Property World would be entitled to a fee amounting to 10% of the first years lease payment or 5% of the first five (5) years lease payment, at the Brokers option. After discussing this with Douglas A. Keating, Broker of ERA Property World, we have opted for the 10% of the first year's lease. According to my calculations this would be ($1077.00) one thousand seventy-seven dollars. Please consider this letter as our request for the commission on the above transaction. I an trying to convince Alaska U.S.A. Federal Credit Union that they would be wise to purchase this lot before prices esegate further. In the event I an successfull in convincing them to purchase this lot, I will contact you with a contract. I will expect to represent the City of Kenai for their purchase. Thank you. Sincerely, A.
