October 16, 1987 RE: Proposed KMC 1.59 "Kenai Advisory Bicentennial at Commission f t i In regard to your submittal of the proposed ordinance to my office, please be advised as follows: 1. We have taken liberty to correct certain grammatical and form errors in the body; 2. The amended addition referred to in Section 1 should, of course, be attached; 3. That portion of section 2 exempting the Commission from KMC 1.90.030 may be unnecessary in view of the fact that the Council has the power to specifically exempt a body created by the Council from the residency requirement. it would appear that y this could be accomplished_by resolution, as well as ordinance. Since you desire that the exemption be by ordinance, there should be a section to this ordinance or a section in KMC 1.59 specifically providing that this Commission shall be exempt from the residency requirements.

The economics of Kenai and Alaska have made it necessary for my wife and I to leave the State. We are returning to the State of Maine, where we have learned that, while the economy is not booming, it is at least stable. I have been offered a position with a major independent Broker in the City of Bangor, and he has expressed some excitement at the prospect of picking up an experienced Agent. I appreciate your confidence in me, and I am sorry that I could not have fulfilled it. Sicerel, �90 4Le*'r-hton' N. Mishou r�����•.��> i c 207 E. NOIthNn Lights BWO. 7 E. Nlpe.

Mayor Williams commented, the 1991 Bicentennial of the Village of Kenai should be recognized as it is the 2nd oldest Russian Village in Alaska and would like to develops a memorable occasion as it is significant. His first idea would be to create a commission with strength and substance and sunset the Old Town Committee. The commission would consist of seven people to investigate everything of historical value, and such things ast funding, grants, acquisition of land, with each commissioner to serve as Chairman of sub -committees to gather information to bring to the commission. The commissioners seated would be Kenai City residents with no restrictions on the sub -committee members and the commission would decide how many sub -committees would be needed.

Move Welcome to Kenai Sign The Committee discussed the sign itself, suggesting shorter loge with a surround of either stone or ties at the base. Pat Porter suggested the large slate rocks and, since the Seniors were going to Cooper.Landing in a day or two, volunteered to get enough rock for the Senior Center and the sign. Keith Kornelis informed the Committee that he had contacted the Dept. of Transportation and obtained permission to move the sign to the new location without reapplying for a new permit. The sign will be removed this week, j taken to the shop and the new legs put on prior to replacing the I 'sign in the vicinity of the Dust Bowl ball field in the new base. t The Committee agreed to contact the Rotary Club and ascertain if 1 they would be willing to take on a smaller project, that of setting up this sign and the surround. Secretary Loper instructed to contact a Rotary representative. b.

Secretary Loper instructed to contact the prison representative who has expressed an interest in working with the City on any construction projects and obtain a cost estimate. C. Banners - next year planning The Committee again discussed the banding and possible ways of securing the banners so that they will not come down and tear. The Committee agreed to place all the banners on one side of the roadway as opposed to both sides as they are now hung. Keith Kornelis was not sure if the banding could be taken down as well as the banners right away Rue - to the type of equipment available to the City at the current time. 6. NEW BUSINESS 7 a. Goals & objectives Mayor Williams has asked for all committees and commissions to draft goals and objectives for the coming year, these are to be ready by the next joint meeting in November. The main areas discussed were: Develop more attractive Municipal Park Develop park lands known as Lawton Strip Spur Highway hillsides near Spruce & Forest Additional wooden trash containers, banners, cement circle planters Landscape entry to City Cemetery Adopt a Park A full draft will be available for the next meeting for discussion. COMMITTEE QUESTIONS & COMMENTS Upon checking the Memorial Park sidewalk, Chairman Wisniewski ascertained the dimensions of the plates to be 12x9xi 1/2" which in not the size the Committee had decided upon and will not fit the standard granite marker. Upon contacting the producer, it was found that the markers will now be a "custom size" and will be more expensive for the consumer. The thinner size will also decrease the stength, however, since the marker is set in the sidewalk, it is believed that the thinner size will work. The City will need to set a policy that if the granite cracks, the city will not be responsible for the replacement. The Committee discussed relations with the veteran's group.

Architect Carmen Gintoll, The problem is if there is an earthquake it will fall down. it is valued at $25,000. It was his error they did not do seismic calculations. What is broken down is Tom Slas.y's cost, not 15% additionally that he could charge. It is value added to the construction, we will not have to tear it down and rebuild. It is necessary. They took the braces down on a windy day and it started to move, that is why braces are up. The highest cost is labor } because it is "Davie -Bacon" construction.

Burgess, Executive Direct Proms Scott Dates October 13, 1987 Subjects AML Representatives on the NLC Small Cities Council I am seeking individuals who are interested in representing Alaska on the Small Cities Council of the National League of Cities. In the past, we have recommended a member of the AML Board or from a NLC direct member city (those above plus Anchorage which does not qualify as a NLC "small } city"). We are allowed two representatives so I am looking for one individual who has the time and commitment to serve along with John Devens who is currently serving his second year on the Small Cities Council for Alaska. Please send me a name by October 26th so we can be represented ` . and the person can get NLC materials for the Small Cites Council meeting in conjunction with the NLC annual Congress of Cities meeting in Las Vegas, December 12-15, 1987. The NLC solicits names through the state league directors of elected officials from municipalities in their state under 50,000 to serve a two-year term on the NLC Small Cities Council (SCC). The SCC is made up of 100 local officials, two from each state, who serve two-year staggered terms. The SCC represents the special concerns of small cities and towns within NLC. Here are some. NLC guidelines to which appointments must :.{. complys o The appointee must be an elected municipal Official from a municipality of 50,000 or under, who can make a two-year commitment to r serve on the SCC. - i o The appointee must be from a municipality which is a member of NLC or a member of the state municipal league. i o The appointee should be someone who is interested in issues of small cities and towns, will serve as an advocate for small cities in ` 9 Alaska, and will be an active participant in SCC meetin s at the Congress of- Cities (ds3ually its late November -or- early December) and- the j Congressional -City Conference. o In the event that our SCC representative is elected by the SCC members to serve on the SCC Steering Committee, it may also be important that our appointee is inclined or financially able to attend the annual ' summer meeting of the SCC Steering Committee, usually held in June. MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL LEAGUES OF CITIES AND THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES r Memo re Small Cities Council October 13, 1987 Page 2 John Devens is currently serving on the SCC. Elaine Seymour of Ketchikan was our other representative and served on the BCC Steering Committee until she resigned from the City Council. I realize budgets are tight but if we are going to be active in NLC this is an opportunity to be involve in issues most relevant to the majority of our members and our state. If I do not hear from anyone by October 26th, I will not recommend a name. ` if I get more than one name, AML President George Carte' will make the {I - --- - --- -:} f appointment on behalf of the AML.

Baines Ploslduni October 9, 1987 Dear Mr. Brighton: Enclosed for your information are materials that give an overview of the proposed "Natural Gas for Fairbanks" project. The people of Fairbanks apparently share my enthusiasm about how this pipeline would improve their cost of living and air/water quality. It may be the kind of jobs project that we need right now, as well as a project with the long-term benefit of making North Slope gas available for the residents of Southcentral Alaska, by reversing flow in the future. Your comments on the proposal would be welcomed. Very truly yours, j RFB/dms Enclosures Mr. Bill Brighton Manager City of Kenai ! 210 Fidalgo Kenai, Alaska 99611 r l ENSTAR Nalurral Gas Company A OWIJON f!F qg�UL,, pgori (-,t)AP(-jRAfi0?j 3000 1pena!d Road P 0 Box 190288 Anchorage, Alaska 99519 0288 NEWS RELEASE (907) 277.5551 FAIRBANKS October 6, 1987 Natural gas service could be a reality in the Fairbanks area, and at halt the cost residents currently pay for fuel, a natural gas utility executive told the Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce here Tuesday. Richard F. Barnes, president of ENSTAR Natural Gas Company, which has been providing natural gas service to the Southcentral area for 26 years, told the Chamber that his proposal could become a reality if the state funds a 285-mile gas pipeline to the Fairbanks area. Mr. Barnes said that studies done by ENSTAR have estimated that a 20-inch gas pipeline to bring gas to Fairbanks could be built from the existing ENSTAR line near Wasilla for about $185 million. Estimates for constructing a distribution system within the Fairbanks area indicate costs of approximately $35 million. He estimated that 600 to 700 persons would be employed for about two years to construct the 285-mile pipeline, plus another 140 to install the Fairbanks distribution system —I F7 -2- He said the most feasible route for the 28S-mile transmission pipeline (Bee map) would also make gas service available to the communities of Big Lake, Houston, Willow, Talkeetna, Cantwell, Healy, Clear, Henana and North Pole. ly "The state's role would be to provide funding for the .transportation system to connect Fairbanks and the Cook Inlet reserves," Mr. Barnes remarked. "This would not be a new concept, but something similar to what has already been done with the electric intertie, the state railroad, state highways and state -financed ports. "If funding could proceed in this fashion, the people of Fairbanks would have to bear only the operating and maintenance costs of the transmission line, at rates similar to ENSTAR's in Anchorage," he added. On the ENSTAR system, Mr. Barnes said, natural gas is {' delivered to homes at the equivalent of 45 cents per p gallon, or about one-half the cost of home -delivered oil in ,.Fairbanks. -.He- estimated that with gas service the average Fairbanks family could save the equivalent of another Permanent Fund check every year. One possible source of state financing, he suggested, r` ,. might be the Railbelt Energy Fund, which was set aside by i •:.; .. ; � -more. - - - , -- ------ ----------- ---- --- -- ------------------- --- f l .. -3- k ; the legislature for energy projects and now contains about 0230 million. i "I characterize the pipeline as a piece of infrastruc- ture that, like the intertie, would draw the regions closer together and be a very appropriate use for the Energy Fund," Mr. Barnes pointed out. He also said natural gas use would help alleviate some of the Fairbanks area's current air and water pollution problems. As for a distribution system in the Fairbanks area, he said ENSTAR would probably be only one of several utilities interested in bidding to install such a system. "We might not be the utility that is ultimately chosen to serve f Fairbanks," Mr. Barnes related, "but we can still assure you i that this would be a feasible project with which you would be very happy." He told the Fairbanks group that eventual decisions that could lead to the introduction of gas service will depend largely on how strongly they want to pursue the idea:: "In many respects, the key is in your hands," he stressed. "if you are interested and want to pursue the idea, ENSTAR stands ready to help in any way possible." -30- i I F L LIVENGOOD LEGEND MANS W Br ErRVED FAIRPRmKS %&NORTH POLE laiiss mml-�ffim � | / ` . / ' � � / ` � � / / ' / �—'r-----'--'---'----'�—U \ o +1 a I NATURAL OAS FOR FAIRBANKSa AT LAST, A FEASIBLE PROJECT nw'_ O ML * Build a 285-mile, 20-inch pipeline to bring Cook Inlet natural gas to Fairbanks. * Construct a utility distribution system in the Fairbanks area to supply individual homes, businesses and electric power plants with gas from the pipeline. * State funding of _the $185.Aillion pipeline as an energy transportation system. only operating and maintenance costs would be charged Fairbanks custom- ers, as is done with the existing state electric intertie. * A private gas utility would fund the M million in cost of distribution facilities in the communities served by the pipeline.

PROJECT EMPLOYMENT * pipeline construction would employ 600-700 craft workers for about two years. * Construction of the gas utility system would employ about 140 workers for 2-1/2 construction seasons. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS * Using gas will improve air quality. No soot, ash, carbon monoxide or other noxious byproducts are produced when gas is burned. * There is no benzene to end up in the water supply from leaking buried fuel tanks ol. other sources. * There is no sulfur or acids to end up in streams and lakes.

Support the gwilue Enstar Natural Gas Co. makes a pipeline to de- liver natural gas to Fairbanks and the Railbelt area sound irresistable. It is an expensive proposition-3185 million for the pipeline. so million for an underground distrlbu- tion system in Fairbanks and untold costs for con• ver ins furnaces to gas —but, according to Enstar Natural Gas Co. President Richard Barnes, it would out heating costs in half. It is probably safe to say that nothing could 10 done for law money that would have such a sigaifi- cant effect on our cost of living. The gaslins would also bring lower fuel oil prices and lower electricity rates, Barnes said. i The chief problem with the idea is that it would take,$US million in state funds to build the line. T'be prospect of getting the Legislature to approve that kind of money to subsidize energy costs along the Rallbelt would seem improbable. c, • Actually, the Legislature has been subsidising utility costs for years. Rural electricitylusers get a subsidy on their bills and hydroelectric projects for the Southeast and Southcentral regions have cost more than the proposed cat of the gasline. Barnes pointed out that the Railbelt gasline would provide a secure source of gas for the Anchor- age area. When wells in Cools Inlet run dry, the valves could be reversed and gas could flow south from the line carrying future North Slope gas through Fairbanks to Valdes for export. The community should give this pro)ect its wholehearted support. A task force should be formed similar to the one that engineered the bid -tor --the _ supercollider.

Funding -for „ Schools; (a) The Alaska State Constitution mandates In Article ViI, Section i, Public Education, that the State shall establish and maintain a system of public education. open to all the children. Therefore, the Caucus supports the State assuming full financial responsibility for basic education. (b) The Legislature should establish a definition of basic education, and establish an equitable funding formula that insures this basic education Is provided. Defining basic education is the key to development of a fair formula for state funding of education. The development of this formula should Involve the municipalities or districts who must fund the local share of education. (c) full funding should not inhibit the rights of local government to supplement state or federal funding, or to administer local schools. (d) The Caucus supports and encourages local effort. (e) The Caucus supports the use of forward funding to provide for basic education. (f) The Caucus supports legislation that would allow local school districts to have a reduction in force of teachers when either student enrollment decreases or when funding is reduced. 2, Bonded indebtedness: (a) The Caucus supports continuation of the program for reimbursement to municipalities of school construction costs at levels sufficient to provide adequate facilities for basic education (see above discussion as to "basic education") In accordance with the states responsibilities under the Alaska Constitution. (b) The Legislature must clearly establish the types of structures eligible for reimbursement. This requires defined standards and criteria for determining eligibility. Only { such regulations as are necessary to carry out the legislative program should be adopted, and the statutes should clearly define the limits on regulations so as to prevent inadvertent alteration of the legislatively established program.

An article about gravel islands begins above. In is Islands built up by piling gravel and sand onto the seafioor were the first structures used for the oil xploration that began in the Canadian Beaufort Sea in the 1976s. Today, gravel islands —or artificial as they sometimes are called — till are important on both the American and Canadian sides of the Beaufort Sea, even though islands of man-made ice nd various structures of steel and con- crete have been developed. In the past several years, three gravel stands were built northwest of Prudhoe Bay for drilling exploration wells that discovered oil. The first discovery was made in 1983 from Seal Island, con- structed in 39 feet of water 15 miles northwest of Deadhorse. Afterward, to explore the area further, two more gravel I (Sandpiper and Northstar) were built nearby. Sandpiper island is pic- tured below. In addition, two gravel islands are being used as platforms for producing the first offshore oil from the Beaufort Sea, from the Endicott Field. Produc- tion of Endicott oil for transfer into the TAPS pipeline will begin by the end of 1987. The Endicott gravel islands are 10 miles northeast of Prudhoe Bay and 2 miles offshore from the Sag River in an average water depth of 7 feet. The top photograph on page 3 shows one of the Endicott production islands underconstruction and the gravel causeways on which roads and oil pipe- lines to shore lie. The choice of an oil exploration or production structure for a particular offshore site anywhere in the world is based on a number ofconsiderations. These include water depth; distance from shore; type of soil on the seafloor; oceanographic, ice, and weathercondi- tions; number of years the structure must be used; logistics of construction and supply; government regulations; and cost. Although several types of (Continued on page 2) L . _7 :y i E Gravel Islands (Continuedfrom page 1) structures may he suitable for a site, one type generally has mare desirable - characteristics when all considerations are weighed. Cost %vill be the determin- ing War if all other considerations are comparable. Gravel islands are chosen for certain sites for several reasons. They offer good resistance to environmental forces, and they may he less expensive than steel or concrete structures. In addition, the material to build them is nearby and abundant. Island construction is relatively sim- ple. One method is to truck the gravel via an ice road to the site, cut a hole in the ice, and repeatedly dump gravel on the seafloor until the pile rises above the water surface to form an island. The other method is to load the gravel on barges, ship it to the site, and then dump it.

Whether this oil will be brought into production has not yet been announced by the operators, Shell and Amerada Hess. As mentioned. Standard and partners will begin pruthwing oil this year from two Endicott Field gravel islands. Gravel construction for these islands began in 1985. The amount of gravel used for the islands, roads, and cause- ways was 6.8 million cubic yards. A few general statements may be made about the design and slope protection for the five gravel islands currently in use in the American Beaufort Sea. Most American islands now arc circu- lar with a top diameter of 350-400 feet. The side slopes of the islands slope at all angle of about 18° from horizontal. The top surliuces of tine islands are about 15-2o feet above the waterline. The slopes of American gravel islands in the Beaufirrt Sea mainly are protected with what oil industry personnel call "sandbags." These really are gravel bags because they are filled with gravel, not sand. They are much larger and heavier that%ordinary sandbags, weighing as much as 12.111H1 pounds each. Such hags are shown in the lower photograph at the right.

The microbes are expected to re- lease gases and other substances which may thin the oil and aid its flow out. Importance of ROB New and better recovery methods are very important to Alaska and the United States as a whole because dis- covered reservoirs are being depleted faster than they are being replaced by new discoveries. Nfore effective and cheaper methods for getting more oil from existing fields are needed to sup- plement domestic production and help reduce our growing dependence on for- eign oil. (The United States now im- ports about 40%.) Unfortunately, inthis time of low oil prices, many recovery methods are too expensive to apply to many oil fields. As a result, oil that could be removed has to be left in the ground. If the wells have to be permanently abandoned be- cause production is unprofitable, the wells cannot be reactivated and en• hanced oil recovery methods cannot he applied later when oil prices rise. The extra production that FOR could have made possible is lost. In the case of Alaska, total production from its discovered oil fields is expected to begin declining in 1989 in spite of the use of the best FOR methods wherever they are economic. A chart in the pre- vious issue ofAlaskan Update (Spring 1987) showed how total Alaskan produc- tion will decline steeply over the next decades. FOR methods are getting the maximum amount of oil out of Alaskan fields, but they cannot keep reduction at its previously high level.W . 1 ----- - - i'bix newprocessingplant at -Prudhoe Hal/extracts natural gas from crud�t►!i Part of the gas then is Injected tutu the gas cup of the oil -producing ruck formations to i maintain reservoir pressure and force nun a till out than could be preuluccel without gas Injection.

Gravel Islands In the Beaufort Sea (Continurd from page 3) The bags were laid in rows lengthwise down the slope, with the top of each hag overlapping the bag below by about 50 percent. On Northstar Island, slopes were covered with a checkerboard -like sys- tem of concrete blocks connected with cables, from just above ilia waterline to about 5-10 feet below it. Then gravel bugs were added above the waterline to the top of the island and from about 5 feet below the waterline to the seafloor. A combination of gravel bags over concrete blocks was used on the two new Endicott islands. - Gravel bag berms are added around the rims of islands to keep as much sea water off the tops as possible during summer storms. Gravel Island Research Since 1975, more than 15 research projects sponsored by oil companies have investigated aspects of gravel Is- land construction in offshore Alaska. The first project, listed as #34 in a research record book maintained by the Alaska Oil and Gas Association, was sponsored by 13 companies. Its report, released in 1976, discussed the feasi- bility of building both temporary and permanent islands in the area between Flaxman Island and Cape Halkett. Data were gathered about equipment and materials requirements, costs, sched- uling, and design. Other later projects that looked into general design and site problems were the following five: Project #151 sur- veyed the retained -fill construction methods used in Canada for application in the American Beaufort Sea. Project #t155 assessed the feasibility of gravel islands in Norton Sound off the Bering Sea. (In subsequent exploration there, gravel islands could not be used be- cause the water in the areas explored was taro deep for them.) Project #183 assessed gravel island use in Harrison Bay of the Beaufort Sea. Projects #233 and #240looked into a variety of structure concepts for explo- ration and production, including gravel islands, for the Diapir Field area of the Beaufort Sea leased in federal Sale 87. Four other research projects have been devoted to the protection of slopes of gravel islands from erosion and sea ice forces. Project #126, the first such study, was completed in 1981. It consid. ered wave and ice action on three island designs for 20 and 40 feet of Beaufort Sea water. Project # 156 modeled slopes of 4S* and 60° to the waterline to learn how ice moving against them might behave. In Project #161, three slope protection systems used in offshore Mexico were tested to see whether they performed better than conventional sandbags. Project #172 investigated three designs for the placement of sandbags on slopes to see which performed best. Two projects surveyed potential sites for gravel and other natural material to build islands. Project #189looked into onshore sources along the coast of I iar- rison Bay for islands that might be con- structed in the Diapir Field Sale 87 area. Project #212 developed and eval- uated a design concept for an offshore f dredging systrnr that could be used ` during the Alaskan winter. Several projects have investigated i geotechnical information about seafloor soils where gravel islands might be built. Projects #171 and #244 studied frozen granular sesdloor soils. including their deposition and settling, thermal properties, and strength. A number of other projects have gathered seafloor soil Information about areas of the Beaufort, Chukchi, and Bering seas. this information may he used to help determine whether to choose a gravel islandor another type of structurefor a particular site. Project #264 used a Computer ppro- -- gram to study waveUhavioratislands. ---- - includingwave breaker heights, and to make estimates ofwave run-up and overtopping of the tops of Islands. ■ MakanUpdate 3 A Study of Birds in the Prudhoe Bay Oil Field How do facilities constructed in the Prudhoe Hay Oil Field affect the num- bers of birds that feed and nest there in the summer? To provide answers,14 oil companies sponsored a major study that involved counting birds and their nests during the 1986 breeding season. The -study was conducted by an independent con- sultant with experience in arctic bird research, LGL Alaska Research Associ- ates, Inc. of Anchorage. The work was undertaken because most previous studies have not docu- mented bird use of the older, most - highly -developed parts of the oil field, Includingareas along busy road& - Tlre results of this new study give a clearer picture of bird abundance among facilities and roads in the oil field and also of likely bird use of other, nearby arctic areas that might undergo petro- leum development. Summary of Bird Study Results In the 1986 study at Prudhoe Buy, researchers found 39 species in plots selected for observation. Of these, 25 species nested on or adjacent to the plots. Birds that live in the area year-round and migratory birds both were counted. Data analyses focused on the 10 most numerous species, which were: Lapland longspur. semipalrnated sandpiper, pec- toral sandpiper, red -necked phalarope, I i 8 Alaskan Update aY U I. lr� duniin, red phalarope% stilt sand riper, oldsquaw, greater white -fronted goose, and king eider, Data were used in evaluate whether isolated blocks of tundra left by sur- rounding facilities (what the research- ers call "fragmented" tundra areas) are less suitable for birds than contiamous, unaffected tundra areas, The study was conducted in "fragmented" tundra blocks of different sixes scattered throughout the most -developed parts of the oil field. The authors of the study report have concluded there is little evidence that the fragmentation of tundra by facilities affects bird abundance or nest density for any species. A surprising finding was that water- fowl preferred areas adjacent to roads over areas farther away from ro;uls. This may have been due to the early snow melt along the roads. On the other hand, most species of shorebirds preferred areas away from roads or along roads with less traffic. For previous research projects in 1981, 1982, and 1984, bird censuses had been conducted in 10 "control" plots of continuous tundra unaffected by the oil field. For the 1986 study reported here, researchers counted birds and nests in these same 10 control plots to obtain data on the natural variation in abun- dance of species from year to year.

Tire re- searchers explain this as l►eing related to the time of year when the snow melt season and therefore the nesting season began at Prudhoe Hay. Snow melt and nesting were later in 1982 and 1986 than in 1981 and 1984. Other among -year variations in bird numbers would have been dosed by natural occurrences far away from Prudhoe Bay, such as the severe El Nino weather events in the winter of 1982-83, which affected migratory species that winter in the tropics. How the Bird Study Was Carried Out and Recorded LGL, the company that conducted the study, selected areas where the number of birds and their nests would becounted. First, they chose 23 blocks of tundra throughout the oil field which were largely surrounded by roads and other facilities; that is, they were "fragmented" areas. These blocks were of three sizes: small (less than 0.6 square miles), me- dium (about 0.6-2.5 square miles), 0, large (more than 3.9 square miles.) By - having blocks of different sizes, the re- searchers were able to study bird pref- erence for small, medium, or large tundra blocks. These 23 blocks are the blue -shaded areas on the map at the left. They are labeled "A" through "W". Then. within these blocks and an additional area with no boundary (the "control" plot area), the researchers selected 60 plots of 24.7 acres each. These plats are the small solid -blue rectangular areas on the map. The bird and nest censuses were conducted only within the plots. Of the 60 plots, 341 were along road- sides, 20 were ►bout 1300 feet or more away from roads or other facilities, and 10 were in the control area ofcontinruus tundra uucdfected by oil field facilities. Tile 10 control plots are in the north- western area ol the map. Generally, inside each tundrd black, the researchers selected plots adjacent to roads and plots away from roads. Tlris made it lmssible ftrr them to compare bird preference far roadside or distarL plots within each block. - The census was carried out in foor - spoors lrt•NV:Y`If �1m4` lU mrd July (S.- - - - - :- -- - -- ---- - - -- -- - - -- - --. 1986. (Continued evil page 8) i 1 i A Study of the Effects on Fish from the Use of 1 Linear Explosives in Near -Shore Seismic Exploration In 19%, the nil industry conducted research into the effects on fish of a geological ex duration technique using explosives which has been applied in certain types of near -shore areas in other states. The study results are sum- !� marized in this article. Following is some background infor- mation about the need for the research: To discover rack formations that may contain petroleum, geo hysicists use seismic techniques in which sound waves (seismic waves) are produced on the surface, bounce below, and return to the surface where they are recorded and analyzed. On land, geophysicists usually pro- duce the seismic waves with a vibrating device mounted below a truck. For areas some distance offshore, they pro- duce the waves by firing compressed air with airguns dropped into the water from the side of a ship. Both these i methods are environmentally safe and have been used extensively in Alaska t for many years. Geophysicists cannot use airguns in certain water areas very near shore, ' which they call transition zones. Many natural sounds produced by the action of water against the shoreline and other factors interfere with the sound waves ' produced by airguns. To date, explo- sives are the only sound source that will " make satisfactory seismic records of rock fi►rmutions below transition zones. "Point" explosives (those which ex- plude only ut one place or point) ocea- sionalh' are used, lmt generally the oil . industn, obtains best restdts with "linear explosives, which come in a . cord -like form that can be strung out - below the water surface for some dis- 1-.." tance, usually ranging from 35 to 2�U li ex Iosive commonh' used lit certainrtain near -shore areas of Alaska, the oil industry must use linear explo- sives tocon►plete, seismic records of rock formations which run from below land out beneath the sea. Areas of inter- est lie along the Chukchi Sea, Norton Sound, and particularly along the Point Moller area in Bristol Day. 7o date, the State of Alaska has been hesitant to issue permits for use of linear explosives because of potential damage to fish, especially juvenile fish. The fishing industry and other groups concerned with natural resources want assurances that explosives will not cause significant damage to commercial, sport, and noncommercial varieties. In addition, oil companies do not want to undertake explosives explora- tion with results that might mar their long-term record of environmental protection or undermine the growing sense of trust earned from the people of Alaska. Therefore, the industry de- signed a study that would he applicable to typical near -shore transition zones in Alaska and credible to all interested groups and the public. The main objective of the research was to determine what percentge of fish would he adversely affected at spe- cific distances close to the explosion and also how -far away fish would be safe. A second objective was to study pressure characteristics of linear explo- sives so the industry can improve its ability to obtain good seismic records while mitigating wildlife in cries.

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game provided hatchery salmon and staff assistance. Alaska Explosives Limited of Anchorage provided field equipment and the services of an Aaska-certified blaster. The University of Alaska provided facilities of its Seward Marine Labora- tory at modest cost. The U.S. Navy granted permission for the participa- tion of a scientist from the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory. Research Methods and Results Possible Alaska sites for the study were few because the study had to be conducted near a marine laboratory with sea -water holding facilities for the fish used in the tests and because the bottom contours of the test site had to be similar to the Bristol Bay site where the oil industry wants to conduct seis- mic exploration. The Seward Marine Laboratory in Seward was selected as the facility and the nearby Lowell Point area in Resur- rection Bay as the test site. For the fish experiments, large and small juvenile salmon (mho and chum) were obtained from hatcheries, and Juvenile Pacifte herring were raptured locally. During the tests, the fish were placed in cages at selected depths and distances from the linear explosive. A hydrophone was placed in each cage to record the pressures to which the fish were exposed during etch explosion.

L Effects on Fish (Continued jro►n page i ) The diagram on page 7 shows a t%pi- cal test setup with fish cages and the explosive laid out along the seafloor. Twenty-one detonation tests were made with explosives of different lengths and power. After each detona- tion, autopsies were performed on all the caged fish to determine the pereen. Cage that suffered injuries which were fatal or which would be fatal. In addi- tion, wild fish killed by the explosions were counted. and autopsies were per- formed on representative fish. The total test results for the caged fish experiments are complex because explosives and cage locations varied. However, the chart below summarizes some significant findings with use of a linear explosive that was 110 feet long and had a charge of 100 grains per foot (a measurement of explosive power). Among wild fish found dead after the tests were juvenile walleye Pollock, Pacific tomcod, Pacific cod, Pacific her- ring, copper rockfish, coho salmon, and Dolly Varden. Lethal ranges for the wild fish were difficult to determine, but some dead fish were found beyond 324 feet of the explosive charge after several tests. Pollock were most affected; more than 1000, mostly juveniles, were found dead after 17 detonations. Other species were not recovered in large numbers (usually less than 10 after each detonation). The best estimate of the range of im- Cat on fish fur linear charges cutnpara- e to those used in this test (110 feet of 100 grain explosive and 220 feet of 24K) grains) is about 490 feet. This estimate is based on results from the juvenile cohu and chum salmon used in these tests and also incorporates information from predictive models, pressure field measurements, and other fish experi- ments. Areas beyond 490 feet generally can be assumed to he areas of no impact. -In additon to the tests with caged fish, 33 detonations also were made to study explosives behavior, including the maximum positive pressures cre- ated, the strength (if the impulses, the energy flux density, and time factors involved. Measured pressures off the midpoints and ends of the linear explo- sives were recorded and compared with predictions of what might have been expected based on experience. Better understanding of these and other technical considerations is needed for planning further research aimed at improving the capability of explosives to provide good seismic records in tran- sition zones while reducing the risk to aquatic life. The study report recommends that more information he gained about the, seasonal distribution of wild fish in ALL kaul arras where linear explosives use is needed. In other areas of the United States where these explosives have been used, such as the Gulf of Mexico, impacts an fish have been minimized brplanning detonations during times east biological activity. The results of this study have been presented to the State of Alaska to use in its ongoing assessment of whether to grant permits for seismic exploration with linear explosives in Alaskan near. shore transition zones.

Sutton estimated last year's commercial fisheries were worth over $3 billion to the Alaska economy. There are presently over 630 processors and 17,000 commercial permit holders doing business in Alaska, bringing critical dollars into every community. i in fiscal year 1986, over $32 million was added to -the state's general fund from taxes generated through commercial fishing. In addition, commercial salmon fishermen are assessed up to 3 percent of their gross earnings to be contributed ` to non-profit private aquaculture associations. This year Bristol Bay harvested nearly 16 million sockeye (red) salmon with an estimated ex -vessel value of $134 million. In upper Cook Inlet, 10.2 million salmon were harvested with 9.3 million of that -number being sockeye. The ex-ves- eel value of the upper Cook Inlet fishery is estimated to be $100 million. Sutton noted that Cook Inlet Is second only to Bristol Bay in salmon harvest values. She said that the state's "valuable fisheries industry Is no accident; but, 5- rather, is the result of a combined effort of good management by the Department of Fish and Game, industry participation and favorable environmental conditions." - - -- —L -The-forecast for Cook Inlet for 1988 will be -very, close to the forecast -for this. i year.

"DEC will un- doubtedly face pressure from non - development interests opposed to this mine, but we hope this will not dater the department from taking similarly brave stands in the future." The mining permit will be issued for a period of eight years. Under its terms, Diamond-Chuttna may extract up to 112 million tons of coal annually. which would make the operation one of the largest mines in the U.S. The site is 45 miles west of Anchorage.

Trade Alaska, a program aimed at stimulating export opportunities, "will be a major catalyst for the Alaska of the '90s and beyond," said Cowper. In a letter to new members, Cowper suggested that the group address such subjects as exporting liquefied natural gas from Cook Inlet and Prudhoe Bay, attracting tourists from Japan and Europe, capitalizing on the computer software industry in Alaska and con, necting rural Alaska to the world mar- ketplace. Cowper also asked the Trade board to look at what industries could prosper In the 49th state if there is an increased military presence, the prospect of sel- ling Alaska forest products to Japan and China and increasing Alaska's in- volvement In the North Pacific and Be- ring Sea International fishery.

Chugach State Park borders the east- 4 ern edge of Anchorage from Eklutna to Potter Marsh. The Council's Tourism Division has ' taken a position against the Division of Park's preference to limit the develop- ment of a downhill ski resort to only one area within the park. Randy Goodrich, director of the Council's Tourism Division, proposed ,I a new commercial downhill ski alterna- live which would permit development of ski resorts in different areas of the park as lung as negative cumulative impacts to park resources are pre- i ;: • vented. He said the Council's ap- proach would encourage dispersed user areas, preventing overcrowding. In addition, it would promote new pri• veto investments in the local economy 3 as demand for visitor facilities in- i creases.

RDC believes that the Division of Parks has existing authority, -through the master plan, to permit resort de- velopment and helicopter landings without any amendments. The Council contends that the proposed amend- ments will generate a "park manage• ntent through plan amendment" pro cess that implies new amendments for every important management decision on every state park. Tourism director Goodrich sold Chugach State Park should allow the greatest variety of uses by tourists and other park visitors. He said to - creationists enjoy a variety of sight- seeing opportunities provided through helicopter flight -seeing. .,,,in Alaska, nearly all popular recre: aflut, areas exist because Of access and facilities provided by g, log- ging and commercial tourism opera- tions;' Goodrich said. "Commercial tourism operations have traditionally coexisted with other uses, and this variety of uses should continue" Recreation and tourism have be- come the mainstay of many state and local economies, Goodrich stressed. "Other states are expanding on ag- gressive efforts to capture a greater share of the international travel market. They are providing greater access to public lands and more visitor facilities and diverse opportunities." Goodrich said Chugach State Park gives Anchorage and Alaska a major opportunity to provide the Alaska vis- itor with what they want most, nearby and affordable access. "We should take the first steps now to assure. that adequate facilities and a variety of oppartunities are available to them in Chugach State Park ANWR bill advances in Congress The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee has voted by a 2.1 margin to advance legislation to open the Coastal Plain of ANWR to oil and gas leasing.

Richard F. Barnes, president of ENSTAR Natural Gas Company, which has been providing natural gas service to the Southcentral area for 26 years, told the Chamber that his - proposal could become a reality if the state funds a 285-mile gas pipeline to the Fairbanks area. Nr. Barneo said that .studios done by ENSTAR have estimated that a 20-inch gas pipeline to bring gas to Fairbanks could ba built from the existing SNSTAR line near 4. Wasilla for about $185 million. Estimates for constructing 'j a distribution system within the Fairbanks area indicate t costs of approximately $35 million. He estimated that 600 to 700 persons would be employed for about two years to construct the 285-mile pipeline, plus - another 140 to install the Fairbanks distribution system over two and one-half cone ruc on se s i more- i I L __ a F_ i -2- He said the most feasible route for the 285-mile transmission pipeline (see map) would also make gas service available to the communities of Big Lake, Houston, Willow, Talkeetna, Cantwell, Healy, Clear, Nenana and North Pole. "The state's role would be to provide funding for the transportation system to connect Fairbanks and the Cook Inlet reserves," Mr. Barnes remarked. "This would not be a new concept, but something similar to what has already been done with the electric intertie, the state railroad, state highways and state -financed ports. "If funding could proceed in this fashion, the people + of Fairbanks would have to bear only the operating and of the transmission line, at rates similar maintenance costs to ENSTAR'e in Anchorage," he added. a I On the EN&TAR system, Mr. Barnes said, natural gas is delivered to homes at the equivalent of 4S cents per gallon, j about one-half the cost of home -delivered oil in or Fairbanks. H+j estimated that with gas service trfe average Fairbanks family could save the equivalent of another r Permanent Fund check every year. one possible source of state financing, he suggested, r. might be the Railbelt Energy Fund, which was set aside by "I i f� 1 I -more- L..__ L V, -3- the legislature for energy projects and now contains about $230 million. "I characterize the pipeline an a place of infrastruc- ture that, like the intertie, would draw the regions closer together and be a very appropriate use for the Energy Fund," Mr. Barnes pointed out. He also said natural gas use would help alleviate some of the Fairbanks area's current air and water pollution problems. As for a distribution system in the Fairbanks area, he said ENSTAR would probably be only one of several utilities interested in bidding to install such a system. "We might not be the utility that is ultimately chosen to serve Fairbanks," Mr. Barnes related, "but we can still assure you that this would be a feasible project with which you would be very happy." He told the Fairbanks group that eventual decisions that could lead to the introduction of gas service will ' depend largely on how strongly they want to pursue .the idea. "In many respects, the key is in your hands," he stressed. "if you are interested and want to pursue the idea, ENSTAR stands ready to help In any way possible." -30- fl LEGEND LIVENGOAD NATURAL GAS FOR FAIRBANKSt AT LAST, A FEASIBLE PROJECT ',¢MPROP M * Build a 285-mile, 20-inch pipeline to bring Cook Inlet natural gas to Fairbanks. * Construct a utility distribution system in the Fairbanks area to supply individual homes, businesses and electric power plants with gas from the pipeline. ----- — --- * State funding of- the $285 million pipeline as an energy transportation system.

PIPELINE [tOUT,4 Begins near Wasi.11a at a connection to ENSTAR's Beluga pipeline. * Generally follows the Parks Highway to Clear, then - across country to Fairbanks. * Fairbanks is 285 miles from Cook Inlet gas and 460 ' miles from Prudhoe Bay. . f COMMUNITIES OAININO ACCESS TO NATURAL OAS , * 81g Lake, Houston, Willow, Talkeetna, Cantwell, Healy, Nenana, Fairbanks, and North Pole. j FINANCZA& BENEFITS * It would be possible for ENSTAR to provide the same gas rates as those for the Mat -Su Valley, Anchorage ' and the Kenai e Peninsula, subject to approval by the , sub j P Alaska Public Utilities Commission (APUC). ti .. iF I * ENSTAR's current residential gas rate is equivalent to about 45 cents per gallon of fuel oil, about half the current cost in Fairbanks. * Fairbanks electric utilities could reduce fuel coats and thereby pass savings to electric customers. PROJECT OPkgy--N T * Pipeline construction would employ 600-700 craft workers for about two years. * Construction of the gas utility system would employ about 140 workers for 2-1/2 construction seasons. IRSMENTAL 19ROMMS * Using gas will improve air quality. No soot, ash, carbon monoxide or other noxious byproducts are produced when gas is burned. * There is no benzene to end up in the water supply from leaking buried fuel tanks or other sources. * There is no sulfur or acids to end up in streams and lakes. GAS SUPPLY * Cook Inlet producers estimate there is a 30-year supply of known gas reserves. * ENSTAR's pipeline system is connected to six Cook Inlet gas fields. * After an export line is built from the North Slope, as flow would probably be reversed to ensure long- g term supplies for residents, businesses, power plants, and industrial customers in,Southcentral. UTILITY? { - iI * The APUC would decide which applicant would be issued a certificate to operate the utility. i * ENSTAR Natural Gas Company would be one of the appli- { canto to serve the proposed service area. { * Selection would likely be based on the best deal for .--- _- -- -- customers, while --taking ._ into. account reliability- of - - service and ability to perform. 10/87 1 a LIVf.W*0OD LEGEND 0 MXAG TD HE SERVER FAIRBRWS NORTH POLE NENAM CLEAR DELTR JCT HEALY TOK �~ C PAXSON PROPOSED PIPELINE ROUTE TO FAIRBANKS TALKEElW GL EMf% LEN EXISTING ENSTAR v� ��' am* GAS PIPELINE SYSTEM PALMER HELtJGrI RNCFiORflGE vMM7 Aa.

It is an expensive proposition- 185 million for the pipeline, $0 million for an underground distribu- tion system in Fairbanks and untold costs for con. I verting furnaces to gas —but, according to Enstar j Natural Gas Co. President Richard Barnes, it would cut heating costs in half. It is probably safe to may that nothing could be done for less money that would have such a signiti- cant effect on our cost of living. The gasline would Woo, bring lower fuel oil prices and lower electricity rates, Barnes said. The chief problem with the idea is that it would { take,:i86 million in state funds to build the line. The i prospect of getting the Legislature to approve that kind of money to subsidize energy costs along the Rallbelt would seem improbable. Actually, the Legislature has been subsidising utility costs for years. Rural electricity users get a I; subsidy on their bills and bydr+odectric projects for the Southeast and Southeentral regions have cost more than the proposed cost of the gasllne. Barnes pointed out that the Railbelt gasline would provide a secure source of gas for the Anchor- age area. When wells in Cook Inlet run dry, the valves could be reversed and gas could flow south f from the line carrying future North Slope gas through Fairbanks to Valdez for export. The community should give this project its wholehearted support.

State Management of LocalDebts Because the establishment of a mechanism for dealing with municipal bond defaults, when bond defaults have not occurred and when none appear imminent, would give the bond market a negative message about the fiscal stability of Alaskan munici- palities, the League urges the Legislature not to establish such a mechanism. EX. State Taxes and Finance] J. STATE -LOCAL FINANCIAL POLICIES AND REGULATIONS 1. [State Tax Policy] State_ Financial Policys In any study of state tax debt or financial structure (and] a policy, the impact on, and of, f municipalities should be covered, and there should be substantial input from municipalities in evaluating the structure and making recommen- dations. { - 2.

I 1 municipalities that affect functions of the state. i 3.. Long Range State Financial Plas_sn_ings As _the Production of Prudhoe Bay declines, the ma9or source of state revenues will evaporate. it is essential that the state make_ necessary adiustments to the known Icon of oil revenues in a planned and timely fashion.

Therefore, the League supports the State assuming full financial responsibility for basic education. (b) The Legislature should establish a definition of basic education[,] and [establish] an equitable funding formula that ensures [this] basic education is provided. Defining basic education is the key to development of a fair formula for state funding of education. The development of this formula should involve the municipalities or districts who must fund the local share of education.

Service Area Advisory Boardse The League supports legislation that would exempt elected or appointed service area advisory boards from campaign and financial disclosure requirements. C. VOTER QUALIFICATION 1. State Requirements The League supports an amendment to Title 29, Municipal Code, to require a municipal voter to be registered to vote in state elections 30 days before the municipal election, or before signing a nominating or recall petition, or an initiative or referendum petition. Present statutes are unclear on this. The registration list from the State is compiled for 30 days before the election, and election officials are unable to determine validity of registration for anyone I registering less than 30 days before the election. i 2. Local iRequirements The League supports legislation that would allow a municipality, by ordinance, to require persons to be registered l within the State of Alaska and the precinct, district, service area, or { municipality in which they reside not less than thirty (30) days i immediately preceding the date of the municipal election. 3. Reregistrations The League supports current statute language which requires a voter who has been purged from the voter registration list in accordance with AS 15.07.130, Elimination of Excess Names", to } reregister in accordance with AS 15:07:090; -and- supports- deletion- of- - - - f �20- L 0 •.tt`i! 4 4. AS 15.15.198, "voters not on Official Registration List", which is in con- flict with those statutes. D. QUALIFICATION FOR ELECTIVE OFFICE The League supports legislation that would include provisions in Title 29, the Municipal Code, and Title 14, the Education Code, for municipalities to set qualifications for all elected municipal officials including school board members. E. LIMITATION, REFERENDUM AND RECALL 1. The League supports legislation that would require the clerk to notify the designated contnct person who eubraits nn application for an initiative, referendum or recall petition of the sufficiency of the application and the availability of the petitionsi and would require the clerk to provide petitions only to persons who request a petition in (_ person at the clerk's office. L PART Vill LOCAL GOVERNMENT POWERS i A. LOCAL AUTONOMY i; The League supports legislation which would promote more effective and ' ?! independent local government in all organized boroughs and cities, and { opposes any legislation which unduly restricts local government operations. The League opposes all repetitive and unnecessary regulation by state agencies. Such over -regulation serves no purpose, and results in confusion and increased cost to the public. 1. Logs The League supports the continued exemption of municipal officials and employees from the lobbying reporting reVirsments under the Lobbying sections of Title 24, the Legislative Code (AS 24.45). _ 2. Anti -Trust Laws The League supports legislation at both the -f state and federal levels placing municipalities in an equal posture with state governments with respect to federal anti-trust laws. j. Y. 3. Enforcement of Municipal Ordinances: The League opposes state restriction on enforcement of municipal ordinances, and supports t� legislation clearly establishing local autonomy in the creation of mandatory sentences and other remedies for violation of local ordinances. 4. Public Records The League supports legislation ensuring that local governments are free to adopt, through ordinance or resolution, their can policies and procedures concerning local public records. - S. Interest on Retainages The League supports repeal of the application to municipalities of the Public Construction Contract Payments t section of Title 36, Public Contracts Cods (As - 36.90.001) relating to payment of interest on retainage on aonstruotion contracts. -30- :. . ,j Wall 0 G. Eminent Domains (a) The League strongly supports legislation amending the Prerequisites to Taking of Private Property section of Title 9, Code of Civil Procedure (AS 9.55.270), to create a rebuttable presumption that the choice of the condemning authority has been made in a manner compatible , with the greatest public good and least private injury.' (b) The League supports legislation amending Title 29 to give municipalities the authority to exercise the power of eminent domain, including the declaration of taking, in areas outside their boundaries. 7. Local Constructions Local governments should retain autonomy to administer local construction projects. Title 36, the Public Contracts Code, should be amended to permit local governments to establish their own notice, reporting, and prevailing wage requirements for local i construction. e. Plumbing and Electrical Codess To eliminate the conflict between state and local plumbing and electrical codes, the League supports an amendment to the State Statutes to place sole authority for enforcement i with municipalities that have adopted such codes, and supports the expeditious updating of state safety codes. The League also supports an i amendment to the statutes governing these codes that would allow i municipalities adopting these codes to provide for a transition period } { regarding licensing and certification requirements for plumbers and electricians working within their boundaries. 9. Authoritiess The League ospoees any effort by the Legislature f to restrict the method of establishment, form, posers or other features of I municipal port or other authorities. The League su porte legislation that R r � would olesify the author�.�omunici siities-to form public corporatioaa. { i 31 - 114 authorities and similar public entities through which they may exercise e 2oxer B. PUBLIC EMPLOYER LABOR RELATIONS 1. Alaska _Public Employees Labor Relations Acts The League atrongly opposes any legislation which would force municipalities to be subject to the provisions of the Alaska Public Employees Labor Relations Act. The League opposes, just as strongly, any legislative efforts to dictate the provisions of local public employees labor relations ordinances. The League supports legislation to allow each municipality at any time to reject or withdraw from the terms of the Alaska Public Employees Relations Act. The scope of decisions as to local goverment finance, and labor policies is best left to the local governing body. !1 2. Binding. Arbitrations The League opposes legislation imposing binding arbitration on local governments and school districts. Binding n i arbitration hinders local elected officials ability to determine their personnel costs and prevents local governments from having complete control of determining the local tax rate. The scope of decisions with regard to what local government can afford for labor is best left to the local bodies possessing that knowledge. C. UNORGANIZED BOROUGH The League urges the Legislature to address the organisation of the unorganised borough, esp= ally aith regar8 to educational districts. D. TRIBAL COUNCIL/LOCAL GOVERNM NT RELATIONS The League supports and encourages efforts on the part of the Legis- r. 1 �' lature and other concerned parties to address tribal/local government relations. i - 32 - IN W E. FORMATION OF NEW NUNICIPALITIES 1. State Policies: The League supports state policies that encourage rather than discourage the formation of new municipalities. 2. Funds The League stronglyasongly supports legislation to provide adequate funds to assist in the study of the feasibility of forming new municipalities and in the formation of newly organized municipalities and in the unification and/or consolidation of borough and city governments. 3. Transfer of Powers: The League supports legislation setting out provisions for the transfer of powers, services, and facilities from a borough or service area to a newly incorporated city within the borough. This legislation should include provisions for continuation of the power i being exercised by the borough or service area until the newly formed city { i actively assumes the power. i 4. Delegation of Powers: The League supports an amendment to Title 29 to permit a borough to delegate to a city the authority to exercise a part of an area -wide r• i F. COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL AFFAIRS The League supports adequate funding for the Department of Community j and Regional Affairs, Municipal Assistance Division, for sufficient staff to effectively serve growing areas of the State and support staff - responsibilities. i ►::: -- G. CONTRACTING STATE SERVICES 1. In an era of decreasing funding, the League suppo rts where appropriate and cost effective, the contracting out of State services to appropriate regional entities, other local governments and local non -government entities. i...A 2. Recorder's Office. The League strop 1 eu ortb Oft Ed" and 1In maintenance of the Distriat Recorder's Offices in the districts as they presently exist, recognizing that the function of the Recording office is vital to local municipalities. fi s A. NATURAL RESOURCEB 1. Oevelo_p las The League supports the adoption and implemen- tation by the State of Alaska, in cooperation with the private sector, of policies for the exploration, inventorying, planning, conservation, development, processing and marketing of natural resources in a manner that produces direct benefit for the State and municipalities, and provided that it is consistent with approved state and local plans. 2. Energy Efficiencys (a) The League urges the federal government, the State of Alaska, and League members to design, construct, and use their facilities with an emphasis on energy efficiency, as a part of life cycle cost considerations. (b) The League urges regionalized studies by the State for development and changes in model building codes to be kept up-to-date with emphasis on proper planning, high quality workmanship and maximize energy efficiency. 3. rish�eriess (a) The League urges the State to oppose all federal limited entry fisheries designations. (b) The League supports continued state funding of the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute. (c) The League supports state funding of research and develop- ment efforts to expand the Alaska fishery. (d) The League supports sustained yield management of State --) fishery resources. i u .. -.. .. A . . . PART IX RESOURCES L (e) The League strongly urges the State to pursue skate jurisdiction over the management of fishery resources in the federal Exclusive Economic Zone. (f) The League strongly urges the united States Congress to ' implement a date -specific phase -out of foreign fishing and joint venture processing in the Fishery Conservation and Management Act. (g) The League supports the development of a stable, year-round ` private mariculture industry, with the initial efforts directed toward the shellfish industry. 4. Timbers (a) The League supports the development of our state-owned, timber resources. Specifically, the League urges the creation of a long-term program for the harvesting, sale and reforestation of timber on eligible state lands, development of transportation infrastructure, and encourages the development, processing, and marketing of Alaska timber r products. - (b) The League supports the creation of a cooperative timber „ marketing program similar in concept to the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute. :. 5. Subsistences The League supports legislation which provides fair and equitable rights to all subsistence users. { V. t 6. Minerals The League supports development of state-owned f mineral resources and urges state support of efforts to improve the l - efficiency of mining technologies to lessen any negative environmental i :r.. I impact of these activities. 7. Agricultures The League continues support of a state and private marketing campaign for "in -state" use of Alaskan farm products. 36 f c, Z B. HUMAN RESOURCES 1. Alaska Hires The League supports and encourages, within the confines of the Constitution and human resource limitations, any efforts of the Governor and the Legislature to implement a local hire on the past R policy, particularly within state government which would not preempt a municipal policies and ordinances. 1.

Resource Development Projectss The League supports resource development and funding policies which provide that state -assisted, resource development projects, substantially impacting communities, should be approved by the municipalities. Z. Waste nie�posal+ The League encourages the State to adopt and maintain acceptable standards concerning waste disposal from processing of i all resources. 3. Cooperative Plannings The League recognises that. many of the � State's most valuable resource lands are already under private control through mining claims, leases, and conveyances pursuant to the Alaska Native Claims settlement Act. Thus, in furthering its goals of both i resource development and the protection of Alaska's environment, the League urges meaningful, cooperative planning between -. the. State. --.----------- ---.-.___.----.--- -37- L municipalities, and appropriate private parties, particularly Alaska Native Corporations. 1 ,f PART x ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT } A. IMPACT lThe exploration, development, and industrial utilization of renewable and non-renewable resources, both inside and outside municipal houndaries, creates a substantial and immediate impact on the need for municipal facilities and services. The need exceeds the financial ability of most -.'- - -- -- municipalities to have such facilities and services operational in the time available. The League urges adoption of state and federal ;r legislation which would provide financial assistance to municipalities which are facing impacts of resources development- Such legislation needs to establish criteria for impact assistance with appropriate trigger - mechanisms to activate such assistance. INCENTIVES f The League urges that legislation be enacted to encourage local municipalities to adopt and implement incentives for economic development, r such as joint public/private sector economic development corporations and tax increment financing authorities. C. (INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT BONDS) MUNICIPAL BONDING 1. (Allocations Legislation is needed to establish a state policy + with regard to the allocation of authorization to issue industrial development bonds (IDB's). -- -- 2.1 Tax Statues The League supports the continued tax exemption of municipal bonds for public purposes.

BRIGHTON, CITY MANAGER FROM: KEITH KORNELIS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR DATE: OCTOBER 16, 1987 SUBJECT: REQUESTS FOR NEW STREET LIGHTS FOR: CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 21, 1987 With the quickly increasing darkness we have been getting a lot of requests for new street lights. Please find attached: Attachment A - Letter from six (6) people requesting a new street light at Magic and Cinderella. This was on Laidlaw's list, Attachment C, Page 5, Item #E4. Attachment B - This is a list of recently requested new street lights from the mayor and citizens. Only items 1, 6, and 7 are new requests. Item 2 - 5 have been requested before. (See to right of item). . Attachment C - This is where we left off last year concerning requests for new street lights. The ten (10) lights in VIP were completed. The other fifty (50) new street lights were engineered by HEA (and we paid them + $6,000 for engineering). However, because of budget reductions and loss of Federal Revenue Sharing the Council decided not to install any more new street ► lights at that time. Attachment D - Letter from resident requesting a light at ,r- Sycamore Circle and Walnut and Sycamore Circle cul-de-sac. This is is a new request on Attachment B, Page 1, Item M6. As you can see, we keep getting requests for new street lights. I need some kind of direction or policy on handling requests for new street lights. Since just one light costs $1,800 - S1,950 or ----------- ----------- �. - more, the -Purchase Order will have -to -be -approved by -Council.-- -I -- guess it is really their decision and maybe I should just =`=--_----- - --- - -- continue- to --take the -requests and -simplX 93ve the list to_Council -_ and let them decide. -1- 1 in -J fr, I have been calling HEA about twice a week concerning the installation of the light at Swires and the Spur Highway. They said they'd have it in before November 2. 1987. i I am still working on HEA - trying to get them to go to all unmetered street lights where we will pay by the month for power and operation and maintenance. This way the City would be out of the street light repair business. I am also working on a street light location study to determine if HEA is properly charging us. . 7. - DEPT\STREETS\LIGHTS.MEM _ ., .. _.. 1. _.... _ I ..f.

Attachment A is the list of street lights that were presented to Counc3Tin the fell of 1986 and approved. Notice that i the first 34 were from Burton Carver Bus Company. Attachment 8 Is a copy of the purchase order to HEA for $199500 to cover Se Installation of 10 new lights in VIP. They have been installed. I have been waiting for the caste to install the remaining 40 lights from HEA. They came and looked at the locations on December 5, 1986. Attachment C is a new list (to replace the old list) of new street light requests. I worked with the Laidlaw dispatchers (who finally ended up giving each bus driver a form I made up) to come up with a new list of bus stops that need a new street light. Page 1 of ` Attachment C shows 28 new light requests made by Laidlaw Bus ,( Drivers. Page 2-shows the remaining new street light requests made by various people. Jack LeShot and I drove around town and i prioritised the new street light requests. This is merely a Public Works recommendation as to priority, not to absolute need. I feel that even though lights are a safety item they are still a luxury not an absolute need. Public Works recommendation for first Priority consists of 12 new } lights. With the 26 requests from Laidlaw and these 12 we have the 40 new lights that are budgeted. Notice that each group of new lights - -are- listed -in alphabetical_ order-.--- _ __Pogv__3 _shows- 11 _new Tight_ _requests that _I_ _would suggest not be -_ __ _ _�_ _._ considered. Also page 3 givee a summary of the number or lights requested. AITACHMtNT OF.�� '""1 These new lights have been estimated to have a capital cant of , around $19800 each or leas depending on if there is an existing pole or transformer nearby. The new lights would not be metered and the costs for maintenance and energy would be $13.53/each per month plus $15 service or billing charge. Therefore the costs for 40 new lights would be $556,20 per month or $60674.40 per year. If we were to do all 65 lights it would cost $894.45 per month or $10p733.40 per bear.

City of Kenai 10/16/87 Public Works Dept. 210 Fidalgo Street Kenai, Alaska 99611 4 Cenilement , I moved to Sycamore Circle, Woodland Sub. in October 1979. 1 was assured street lights would be installed the following spring. Until now, lack of street lights has been nothing more than a minor inconvenience. Now there are several elementary school children using this street to walk to and from school. This is not a question of economics, I would gladly pay for electricity used by these lights. I use outside house lights, at critical times they simply do not provide enough light. The point, however, is the rest of Woodland Sub, has street lights and since our property assessments are based at least in part on these services ( how else could a 75ft. X 150f t. lot be assessed at $15000*00 ) we should have them too. Should you decide to install them, a light at the corner of Sycamore 6 Wal- nut and one at the apex of the cul-de-sac on Sycamore Circle would be ade- quate.

She advised the central office administration staff and principals had accepted a ten percent decrease and the classified - employees had accepted a 9.6 % decrease after negotiation in the past week. She said there was still a shortage of about 50 teachers, even with the rehire of 80 staff members. She saidded enrollment whenschoolindicate there will be severely opens. She noted the hazardous bus route fundingg would only last until would February. She ofid by what its needs is school district needs wouldtbe, Dennis Carlson._Kenai. said millions and millions of dollars were spent os sc oo structures while there is now a teacher shortage and overcrowding in the classrooms. He said Dr. Pomeroy indicated if supplemental monies were received he could hire back teachers and ease the overcrowding. Patt Boil Homer. asked the assembly to follow through the implied comet tment to provide funds to the school district. She believed education of the borough's children wan an investment in the borough's future. She additionally read a letter from Maryanne Grose, president of.the Homer PAC, which stated the school board had approved reinstating hazardous bus routesforschools but with the understanding there is currently not enough money to provide busing for the entire year. She asked the assembly to seriously consider providing additional funds to the school district. KILLrankL Anchor Point, reiterated Mr. Garnett's comments and stated v o ent opposition. Rocky Frank Anchor Point. cited economic conditions throughout the oroug population. He felt forecasts of overcrowding to be unrealistic as many people had left the peninsula. He felt money should be used to retire the bond debt. Barbara Waters Kenai, felt the school district hadn't even been en g vthe op— tunity to attempt to live within its means. She urged everyone to deal with the situation more positively. is . rry Anderson Homer. said he attended the school board meeting to urge a ngg ,000 for the hazardous bus routes.

He encouraged the assembly the apply the $2.2 million for debt reimbursement. Mike Obeerrts Sterling, echoed other comments questioning why the measure or urther apro riation was even being considered. sett Warren Kenai, noted others had taken drastic wage cuts and ncrease taxes would be devastating to the citizens of the borough. Sharon Moock Soldotna, reminded everyone this was only introduction o t e or nance and after school has started next week a clearer idea would be had of what was needed. Zada Friedersdorf£ Kenai, spoke as a teacher and as a parent. She advised t e scTo., district had at this point cut certificated staff (teachers) by some 15 percent. She said there is a report of one first district has t ree fourade class in the rth4gradesol classes, each with 38 or enrolled. Another 9nts o students. She challenged information that there is indeed a declining enrollment. Suzy Franklin Soldotna, urged introduction of the ordinance so an appropr"%tJion would be in readiaens when information about enrollment could be obtained.

Asoomblymember Sewall said his prime motivation in bringing the ordinance forward was based on class site--Pupil/teacher ratio. If f y. the ordinance is set for hsaring on September 15, enrollment figures will not be speculation but readily evident by that time. Rehiring teacher@ would obviously have a trickle -down factor in the local economy. He noted the assembly had budgeted for 56Z State reimburse - Mont per the Governor's statements. Then the legislature cam* through with reimbursement at 122 which was better but not ideal. He advised he'd contacted school board president Debra Mullins to see if the board and assembly could most in joint workeeeston on the 15th at 600 p.m. if the ordinance were intro uced. _ Assemblymember Carey noted persons givingg testimony against the to chars failed to also include the cooksisid off, seer was ies- anitore and other individuals who'd been his ealing people were leaving, but not necessarily people with children. He urged introduction and hearing in a month so enrollment. figures can be determined. Assemblymember McLane noted last year's ending general fund balance was aproximately $12 milliono this year it will be approximately 86 milliopn. He stated support for introduction as amended. Assemblymembers Crawford and Walli noted other supplemental :.i appropriations had been made but there had been clear indications by the district as to the areas of need. Assemblymember Johnson felt the timing of the ordinance was inappropriate as the school administration is still in negotiations witu teachers. He recalled information that October was when firm _..._-..._- .. .. fi� enrollment figures are known and programs aren't fixed until then. He urged non -introduction. 001 - Mayor Thompson spoke against giving the school district a multi -million dollar appropriation at this time, as negotiations { He could be upset b the knowledge there was more money available. that funds given to the school also asked memberw to remember district from these State funds, will not be available next year for debt retirement. 1 ASSEMBLYMEMBER PHTLLIPS MOVED HEARING DATE ON ORD. 81-46 BE CHANGED TO OCTOBER 13, 1987. .

Derthe rse soOf ooand Mr. Mayor on HpeSuniAdviry Planning Commission. Assemblymember Nash had two questions for the Mayors 1) Why was the Homer Baler parking lot being paved? Mayor Thompson responded the present facility is for public parking which has been buckling and heaving By paving the lot, drainage would be improved and there probably would be long-term money savings. Regrading would not control the problem. 2) How would criteria be established for the confidential submittals to Public Works for review and subsequent determination of whom may bid on the closure of the Sterling Special Waste Site closure? Mr. Nash stated his concern was about purely subjective determinationst and the assembly should be able to review the criteria. He hoped the criteria would be established early enough that -a--contractor not meeting he criteria could remedy the situation before bid. Assemblymember Glick inquired about a newspaper article which said the borough is working with the City of Homer in painting crosswalks and asked if this was being done through the school district. Mayor Thompson said he'd check it out and advise at the next meeting. Q. OTHER BUSINESS R. ASSEMBLY AND MAYOR'S COMMENTS Assemblymember Johnson commented on the 87/08 School Budget, printed July 22. 1987. noting some conflicts in references to Holt School and North Star Elementary School. He noted per student cuts of 142 were reflected while rumors are circulating of 35% cuts. Assemblymember Hodgine said he was requesting an in-depth study by - the assembly of the construction of public buildings - i.e, possible removal of employees involved, not contracting with management firms, better control of change orders and persons empowered to change a project. Assemblymember O'Connell advised he'd come very close to voting against introduction of the supplemental education appropriation as there was no request by the school district supporting it. He felt anticipating some sort of ,promise,, out of the assembly/school board workshop next week was optimistic at best. He challenged some information provided by Mr. White about the history cited regarding American forefathers and the Masons. Assemblymember Nash observed if the body had to give equal time to all mayor:! candidates, there wasn't going to be much time to do agendas. Ue suggested the Policies and Procedures committee discuss the matter by the next assembly meeting and work out a procedure whereby an individual (candidate) testifying would be restricted from campaigning by forfeiture of testimony time. Assemblymember Phillips urged persona concerned about the speed limits to write the DOTPP Commissioner at Pouch 2 in Juneau. She urged members to read Dr. Pomeroy's News in Brief reports i.e.. the first Project Leadership was held at wbich a Washington State University speaker was brought in. She doubted the appropriateness of this activity as opposed to not fully funding hazardous bus routes. She, too, was concerned about public works projects and supported the idea of a task force.

The Executive Summary of the plan, entitled, "Strategic Plan of the Board of Directors of the Alaska Municipal League, 1987" is in- cluded in this Newsletter. The complete document will be included in the con. ference packet available to delegates when registering for the 37th Annual Local Govern- ment Conference in Anchorage, November 11-14, 1987. The Board also adopted the "Draft 1988 Policy Statement" for review at the annual conference and the AML budget for FY88, subject to revisions necessary to implement the plan. The adoption of the Strategic Plan marks the end of a yearlong effort to, for the first time, develop and document priorities and a direction for better serving the AML membership; and, it marks the beginning of an annual process to ensure that the Board Wstaff continue to respond to the needs of membership. The Board hired Leonard Lane Associates to assist it in the process of identifying membership needs and a plan for addressing those needs. The plan will be presented to the membership at the annual business meeting in conjunction with the an- nual conference in Anchorage in November. In the meantime, members with questions should contact their Board representative or the Executive Director. M naaa 2) ALASKA MUNICIPAL LEAGUE Communities face Hard Times -- McAlpine, Commissioners to Discuss Aid Options at Conference Lt. Governor Stephen McAlpine is heading a cabinet -level task force charged with assessing ways for State agencies, using existing resources and programs, to help Alaska's communities struggling with economic problems. The group, which is due to complete its work in October, will report to AML members at a workshop dur- ing the Local Government Conference. Many of Alaska's rural communities are currently facing severe economic problems. Some of these problems are a result of poor fishing seasons, others a result of poor management; all, at least In part, are a result of drastic reductions in state and federal sup- port during the last few years. Some areas are being seriously affected by the economic dislocation that accompanies high unemployment levels, steadily decreasing amounts of state municipal assistance and revenue sharing as well as declines in federal aid, and, perhaps most significant in the short run, a drop in state capital project money. In villages all over Alaska, community facilities —water and sewer projects, com- mundy centers, and medical clinics, among others -✓were built with state funds during the recent days when oil money was plen- tiful and the state's collective mindset was (continued on page 2) t� ' �t�ifber Governor Steve Cowper will be the keynote speaker at the 37th Annual Local Govern- ment Conference. The Governor will Join AML members and guests at the opening lun- cheon on Wednesday, November 11, to share his concerns about State/local govern- ment relations. Governor Cowper to Deliver Keynote Governor Steve Cowper will give the keynote address at the opening session of the 37th Annual AML Local Government Con- ference at noon, November 11, 1987, This will be the first time Governor Cowper has addressed the largest annual gathering of municipal officials in the State. The sixth per- son to serve as Alaska's top official, Cowper will be completing his first year as Governor in November. In the wake of the First and Special Sessions of the 15th Alaska State Legislature, municipal officials will be anxious to hear the Governor's legislative proposals, including the FY 88 budget, and the direction he is setting for the State for his second and subsequent years in office, Rexford Replaces Olemaun as Second Vice President At Its August meeting, the Alaska Municipal League Board of Directors removed Barrow Mayor Nate Olemaun as AML Second Vice President, Barrow City Councilman Delbert Rexford was -appointed by AML President.-.. George Carte, Mayor of Palmer, to fill Ole. maun's unexpired term as Second Vice. - President - - -- -- - -- - Mayor Olemaun was elected Second Vice President of the AML at the annual conference held in Juneau last November, (continued on page 4) 01 Board Meeting (continued from page f) The Board also heard the Legislative Com- mittee report given by Dave Soulak, Chair, and acting on its recommendations, adopted the Draft 198E ANIL Policy Statement. The draft was sent to all members this month for their review prior to the annual conference where the draft will be debated, revised and adopted by the membership at the annual meeting, November 13, 1987. The Board also adopted "A Resolution of the Alaska Municipal League Board of Directors Oppos- ing the Proposed Alteration of the Revenue Sharing Formula in the land and Water Con. servation Act Which Discriminates Against the State of Alaska:' The resolution opposes the proposed reduction by Congress (5.735) of Alaska's share of rent, royalties, and bonuses from oil and gas leases on reserved public land from 90%to 50%. The Board approved the FY 88 budget. The budget anticipates revenues and ex- penses to decrease by 9% but it is a preliminary budget and subject to change. The budget was developed on a status quo basis, i.e. no significant changes in member- ship or in programs, and, therefore, no dues increases are proposed at this time, Dues notices and invoices wiltbe sent out by Oc- tober 1st based on the latest population figures certified by the Department of Com- munity and Regional Affairs, and payment will be due by January 1st. However, the Strategic Plan calls for the Executive Director to present a work program and revised budget for approval at the first Board meeting In January or February. Depending on the Board's action to begin implementing the plan, the AML budget may be amended. In other action, the Board declared the of- fice of Second Vice President vacant and replaced Barrow Mayor Nate Olemaun with Barrow City Councilman Delbert Rexford (see related story); adopted new resolutions and elections procedures for the annual con- ference (see "Special Conference Bulletid'); and selected Elgee & Rehfeld to conduct the FY87 audit. i Hard Times F . r. (continued from page 1) to spend it quickly for the improvement of ° life for Alaskans. Unfortunately, all too often S, the projects designed to "Improve" people's f lives are now causing a drain on limited community resources and thus threatening the economic viability of the community. _ Communities are having to face the reaAty of how expensive it is to operate sewer and Avatersy1WMs to heat community centers, # to maintain buildings in the unique Arctic environment. As one village administrator, quoted in a recent Anchorage f)aily News article, put it, "We've got these projects that were given to us. They brought us jobs, but now we can't afford to maintain them." According to Marty Rutherford, Director of the Division of Municipal and Regional Assistance of the Department of Community and Regional Affairs, quoted in the An- chorage Daily News, the department has been quietly wrestling with the problem for a year. "What had been a smattering of pro- blems last year is now pervasive," said Rutherford. The department has identified at least 18 western Alaska villages as being in critical financial condition at the present time, and another 20.30 are expected to be in similar straits by the end of 1987. Several communities have debts in excess of $100,000 at the present time, and many owe large amounts to the Internal Revenue Ser- vice for employee withholding tax that was never paid. Some communities that are not in critical condition at this time are, nonetheless, fac- ing a cash flow problem and are unable to buy fuel for the winter. In other places, the shortage of personal Income (caused by a poor fishing season and the drop in employ- ment in state -funded capital projects) will mean that residents cannot buy adequate food for the winter months. Declines In sales also mean declines in sales taxes, an impor- tant source of local government revenue in some areas. Those knowledgeable about Alaska's communities also fear that some, rural as well as urban, have not yet recognized the realities caused by the drop in oil prices. These communities are still operating on old assumptions about the level of state aid, have not cut back on local government ex- penditures, and will, thus, be hit even harder in the near future. Many of the hardest -hit communities have been cutting budgets and making other efforts to cut costs and meet their obliga- tions. However, in many Instances, even these efforts have not proven adequate. Some outside assistance, probably in the form of technical and management advice on how to cut budgets further and how to restructure debt, will he necessary. Governor Steve Cowper recently pointed Lt. Governor McAlpine, fd mayor of Valdez and one long familiar with The problems faced by local government, to head the Cabinet Committee on Economic Dislocation. The committee, made up of McAlpine and the Commissioners of Health and Social Services, Community and Regional Affairs, Environmental Conserva- tion, Military and Veterans Affairs, and Education, has asked state departments to review their programs and determine what they can do to help the communities who are "economically dislocated." The committee identified three objectives for its work: 1) to assess the current finan- cial situation in the communities; 2) to forecast what the financial situuation will be this winter; and 3) to develop strategies for coping with this winters crisis. It is develop• ing criteria to evaluate the severity of a corn- munity'seconomic situation and to prioritize requests for disaster assistance. Since there are no fundsavailable to assist "economic- ally dislocated" communities, it will be ex• iremely important, say committee members, to allocate current state resources in the most effective manner and to deal with the most severe problems first. The Lt. Gover- nors office (i65-3520) is serving as the inghouse for all economic disc quiries and requests. The committee plans to finish up its work within the next month. It is possible that In addition to developing a process for apply- ing for relief, the group may also propose legislation to address current problems and attempt to avoid future economic disasters caused by such factors as mismanagement of state funds. Lt. Governor McAlpine and other members of the cabinet task force will discuss the results of their work at the AML Local Government Conference. They are scheduled for a presentation on Friday, November 13, at an 8:iS a.m. workshop, "Dealing with Economic Dislocation." It promises to be an informative and useful ses- sion, particularly for our rural municipalities. AML NEWSLETTER 105 Municipal Way • Suite 301 • Juneau, Alaska 998010 (907) 586.1325 STAFF: Scott A.

However, in order to meet municipal needs, local govern• ments will still look to bonding and other financing mechanisms to provide public ser- vices and facilities. This workshop will ex- plain the effects of the Tax Reform ALK on municipal borrowing, describe various tax- exempt and taxable mechanisms as well as other mechanisms available from financial institutions, and give a state and local perspective on bonding.

The Board fdt the action was necessary given the important issues facing the Board and the AML this year and the importance of the Second Vice Presidents office. Major Board issues this year include important legislation and fiscal actions in ' the Legislature, the development of the AML in- surance program, and the Board's strategic plan. Under the AML Constitution and Bylaws, the Second Vice President automatically becomes AML President _in_ two years. By appointing Councilman Rexford, AML President Carte and the Board ensured that AML Director District 7 (North Slope Borough/Northwest Arctic Borough/Norton Sound) would continue to be well represented in the Second Vice President's chair. Under the AML Bylaws, Rexford will have to stand for re-election to the Second Vice President's position prior to succession at the 37th Annual Local Government Con- ference in Anchorage, November 11.14 1987.; AML Executive Director Scott A. Burgess and the AML staff hosted the State League Directors Summer Workshop in Juneau this summer. League directors and staff from 36 states and their families (125 people in all) came to Juneau by plane and by ferry —from places as far Rung as Florida, Maine, Illinois, New Mexico, and California —and they all enjoyed Southeast Alaska. Many went on to visit other parts of the state, and we are still getting notes from people who say that this trip was a once -in -a -lifetime experience, and the best workshop ever. National League of Cities Executive Direc- tor Alan Beals, Assistant to the Executive Director for State Programs Don tones, Direc- tor of Federal Relations Frank Shafroth, and NLC Conference Planner Diane Ferring also participated in the meetings and the accom- panying social and sightseeing events.

Conference Program A tentative conference program is includ- ed in this Newsletter. The final program will be available when you register. Registration begins at the Egan Convention Center at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 10, 1987. The policy sections on Wednesday afternoon and all day Thursday, and workshops on Fri- day morning, will provide learning oppor- tunities for delegates, legislators, commis. sioners, and other knowledgeable In- dividuals will make presentations on a varie- ty of Issues. These are concurrent sessions so Individual delegates will not be able to at- tend all sessions. The thought is that member municipalities will send more than one delegate and they can divide up to attend all sessions. Resolutions Resolutions adopted by the AML member- ship are included in the AML Policy State- ment. Resolutions differ from the Policy Statement in that they address issues more specifically, and they exist for one year only. The Board of Directors approved a new resolutions procedure recently to improve the process of considering and adopting resolutions. The new resolutions procedure was spelled out and distributed to all members as a "Special Conference Bulletin!' dated September 11. Please refer to that bulletin for details about the procedure. Resolutions had to be submitted (postmarked), typewritten and in the proper format, by the governing body of an AML member municipality or municipal associa- tion to the staff at the AML office in Juneau by October 1 (October 12 for extenuating circumstances) to be included in the delegate packets and considered at the con- ference. The resolutions will be assigned to an appropriate policy section for review after the section has considered the Policy Statement. Resolutions that did not reach the AML office by the deadline can still be intro- duced for consideration at the policy sec- tion (50 copies required). See the new resolutions procedure to learn how to do this. A typewriter will be available in the AML Conference Office during the con- ference for use by the delegates. Resolutions not approved by the -policy section will not be considered during the - business meeting.

REGISTER EARLY to save time and money and to im• prove your chances to get the accommoda• tions of your choice. loin the AML 129 municipalities and over 58 firms and organizations are members of the AML. AML members enjoy special conference rates and the opportunity to participate in the policy making of the League. Only municipalities who have paid their dues are eligible to vote on the policy platform and the election of Of- ficers of the League at the Friday business meeting. NON-MEMBERS TAKE NOTE: The AML Wflows any municipality that is not currently a -inember but which pays % of its 1987 dues on or before November 13, 1987 (at the League Conference Office) to be an AML member in good standing for 1987 and, thereby, eligible for member rates and to vote at this year's conference. However, AML membership is not re- quired to attend and participate in the con- ference discussions and activities. Read the Policy statement The major purpose of the AML Con• ference is to develop the League's policy plat- form for the next year. The policy issues are discussed during the conference and voted on at the Friday business meeting. Each member municipality with delegates in at. tendance gets one vote. The result is the AML Policy Statement, which then guides the legislative activities of the League Board, Legislative Committee, and staff. The 1987 AML Policy Statement was wide- ly distributed following last year's conference in Juneau, and multiple copies were sent to all AML members. At its August meeting in Palmer, the AML Board of Directors reviewed the recommendations of the AML Legislative Steering Committee and approved a "Draft 1988 AML Policy Statement," The draft docu- mentrecommendsamendmeMs to the 1987 i i,aCement. Copies have been sent to all AML NoFrembers and will be included in the con- feience-packets-at the conference. -Copies are also available to non-members on request, Road -Responsibility Task_ Force Pending The Department of Transportation has begun to assemble an internal team, directed by Clyde Stoltzfus, Special Assistant to Com• missioner Mark Hickey, to awiew the feasibility of transferring the responsibility of direct maintenance for certain transportation facilities from the state to local governments. In providing funding to DOlIPF for this pro- ject, the Flfteenth Alaska State Legislature also directed the department to assemble an external group or task force made up of representatives of local governments, unorganized areas, and user groups to guide the effort. I3O7/PF is currently working with the Governor's office to establish this work- ing group and has contacted AML for assistance. AML will help the department put this team together to ensure that knowledgeable and representative municipal officials areinvolved in this potentially signifi• cant project. The legislative intent language in the FY86 state operating budget for DOT/PF—Office of the Commisssioner (1987 SLA Chapter 95) reads as follows: It is the intent of the Legislature that DOT/PF. 1) establish a road responsibility task force comprised of representatives of DOT/PF, local governments, unorganized areas, and user groups. The task force is to review the feasibility of transferring the responsibility of direct maintenance on cer- tain routes from the State to local govern- ments, and to examine reasonable and equitable funding sources for maintenance activities, including a review of the motor fuel tax and of existing road service account in the State's revenue sharing program. The task force shall also study the issues of road ownership, liability, and the transfer of equip. ment and employees. Municipalities may remember that the Governor's proposed budget called for significant cuts in DOT/PF, for the transfer of certain existing state road responsibilities to municipalities to offset those budget reduc- tions, and a doubling of the motor fuels tax (HB 156). In response to significant resistance to these Ideas from municipalities during the session, an alternative of using the increase in the motor fuels tax to offset the decreases in the DOT/PF budget was presented. The outcome was that the DOT/PF budget was partially restored, H8 156 did not pass, no roads were transferred, and the .intent language (above) called for further study of the issue with the participation of municipalities. The Department of Transportation has in- dicated that it encourages interested parties to participate throughout the project and will adivelydoifcifapTnions7rom�govemmen[oi�- --}_ .. _.._ .. ficials and the general public.

It is intended to provide guidance to the Boars) and the Executive Director in carrying out their responsibil8ies to the membership. The plan also serves to communicate to AML members and other Interested parties the stated mission, goals, and objectives of AML.

HD 155 shifts costs for municipality reloca- tions incident to public works projects from the utilities to the municipalities; thereby necessitating cost recovery by municipalities rather than a tariff or surcharge to be recovered as part of the utility rate structure. - The scheduled hearings are the latest round in a battle waged by the utilities on several hods for at least the last five years. To date, the utilities have failed to saddle the municipalities with the cost of relocating utility facilities in the public's right-of-way, either by administrative rule of the Alaska Public Utilities Commission (APUC), the Courts, or the legislature. Presently, the City of Kenai and the utilities are litigating the issue in two cases in the urts, one of which has already been to the hearings. Even though the matter is presently being litigated, some communities continue to pay for relocations d utility faciities within municipal right-d.ways without question and without any - contractual obligation. These communities may have erroneously assumed an obligation to pay from past prc.- tices that became a custom and habit. Other municipalities own their utilities, and reloca- tions merely shift costs from one pocket to another while others have entered Into con- tractual relationships to apportion costs. of particular concern in an era of declin- ing revenues is the prospect of having even less money left for the few projects which are funded as a result of having to pay a substan- tial portion for utility relocations as a cost of capital improvements. It has been estimated that claims for utility relocations in Kenai ex- ceed $500,0W and relocation costs on one street project in Juneau exceeded $350,M. This legislation would shift more of a burden than is readily apparent to municipalities. With few exceptions, municipalities do not have the expertise, ex- perience, finances, or staff to question sub- mitted utility relocation costs as to their ap- t t ess whereas the APUC does and t �ska Supreme Court once where Kenai propy a en , prevailed on procedural issues.

Ciry of New York, 418 U.S. 104 (1970)), The real question, then, is whether Nollan represenrs any major departure in the Court's view as to what types of governmental con. troll constitute "takings" of private property for public use. The answer appears to be that the case does not signal any major change in the law, although it indicates the Court will take a closer look at whether land -use con- trols actually further the governmental in- terests they purport to promote. in Nollan; the Court addressed the validity of a state requirement that, in return for per. mission to build on their property, land• owners must grant the public a right of ac- cess over a beachfront portion of their land. The Court's inquiry focused on the relation- ship between the particular restriction and its stated governmental purposv,. The majority concluded that the stated purpose of the restriction -improved access to the beach - was not substantially furthered by the per- mit's condition for an easement along tii beach. The Court was careful not to back away from the basic principle, laid out in earlier decisions such as Penn Central, that controls on the use of land are not "takings" if they substantially further legitimate governmental purposes and do not deny the owner economically viable use of the land. If there is any departure from those earlier cases, it is only that the Court can no longer be ex. pected to take at face value the statements of government officials that the land -use restric- tions in any particular case are necessary to meet the burdens that development imposes on legitimate public interests. This stricter i scrutiny should not have an adverse effect on the overwhelming majority of land -use regulations, including historic preservation ordinances. Unless controls have been im- posed without adequate justification, they i are unlikely to be successfully challenged. Initial reports of both First English and ; Nollan raised the specter of local govern- ments being forced to compensate property owners for the effects of land -use regulations i that are regarded as overly burdensome. Although that possibility exists, failure to ; recognize the remoteness of the likelihood of judicial invalidation on "takings" grounds distorts the true picture. i Those responsible- for -enacting -at a v _ . ministering reasonable land -use controls _ have little to fear, other than the rhetoric of their opponents. - hp 12 October 1987 oil 1 L_. 1987 AML ANNUAL CONFERENCE HOTEL INFORMATION The Hotel Captain Cook will be the official headquarters hotel for the 37th Annual AML Local C;overnment Conference.
