Dear Ms. Whelan:
Re: Easement Vacation, McKechnie, Foster and Brown
(Secs. 2 and 11, T. 5 N., R. it W., S.M.)
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game has reviewed the
request for appeal of the denial of a vacation of the
referenced section line easement. The department remains
opposed to this easement vacation for the reasons stated in
the enclosed letter to the Kenai Peninsula Borough dated
December 23, 1987.

Dear Mr. Fenner:
Re: Easement Vacation, Mcxechnie, Foster and Brown
;^ (Secs. 2 and 11, T. SN., R. 11 W., S.M.)
L
VV
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) has reviewed
the proposal by McKechnie, Foster and Brown to vacate a
sixty—six foot section line easement common to Sections 2
and 11, Township 5 North, Range 11 West, Seward Meridian.
The easement runs approximately 634 feet in length between
Angler Drive and the Kenai River. The purpose of the
vacation is to restrict public access and also help maintain
natural drainage of city streets and a gravel pit.
The ADP&G is opposed to the requested easement vacation and
recommends that it not be granted. Unrestricted public
access to the Kenai River for recreational purposes is very
important and should be maintained. The department has no
information as to the actual amount of public use that
occurs on this easement; however, the mouth of Beaver Creek
is a popular sport fishing area. Sport fishing pressure on
the Kenai River is steadily increasing and all public access
points will be needed in the future. The department has
plans to spend several million dollars on the Kenai
Peninsula for recreational access and has received inquiries
from Kenai River property owners interested in selling
property which total over three million dollars. The
department does not believe that it is in the public
interest to vacate public access easements on one hand and
to spend public funds to acquire access on the other.
Mr. Kevin Fenner —2- December 23, 1986
Please inform us as to what final action is taken on this
proposal.
Sincerely,
Dennis D. Kelso, Deputy Commissioner

Common to Sections 2 & 11, or the
west end of Anglers Drive
Vacant - drainage ditch for gravel
pit
Several property owners and developers have gone before the Borough
Planning Commission to request the vacation of a 66' section line
easement. The Borough Planning Commission met January 5th. The City of
Kenai had not received notification prior to the date. At that meeting,
two letters were read into the record from state agencies recommending
denial of the vacation request based upon statements which suggests
restricting public access.
A
Since that time, two additional letters were received by the Borough.
One recommending objection, one not. One of the applicants, Mr. Jack
Foster appeared at that meeting and, hearing the objections, withdrew
his request. However, after speaking with the other property owners,
and feeling that there were misunderstandings concerning the project,
they have decided to proceed with an appeal and request the City of
Kenai review the request also, as the project lies within the City.
The issue was then brought before the Kenai Planning & Zoning Commission
which reviews vacation issues and passes recommendations to the Mayor
and Council. The Kenai Planning Commission recommends the Council
uphold the Borough decision based on findings of fact: "denial because
specific criteria, which is requested by the state agencies was not
submitted referring to denial of public access along a section line to
the river". (A portion of the unapproved minutes attached.)
At the Kenai Planning & Zoning Commission, several documents were
submitted and reviewed and are attached to this packet which outline the
plan of the applicants pertaining to the boat launching facility as well
as the retention of a 25' easement for the drainage ditch and board
walkway for public access.
On January 29, 1987, I was contacted by Suzanne Millington of the
Division of Parks & Outdoor Recreation. Ms. Millington stated that she
had read of the appeal and asked for more information which was
provided. Ms. Millington stated that the state agencies were not aware
that the applicants intended to construct such a facility and if the
material submitted to the City could be rushed to her department, it
would be reviewed by those state agencies. Ms. Millington was of the
opinion that, upon review of the material and the fact that such a
facility was to be constructed rather than just restricting access, and
the 25' easement for the drainage ditch and public walkway, the agencies
may remove their objections. As there is a time factor, letters from
those agencies may not reach the Council prior to Council meeting. In
that case, Ms. Millington may attend as representative.

STAFF REPORT STATED:
Public Notice appeared in the Decemher 17 and 24, 1986 issues of the
Peninsula Clarion.
Twenty certified mailings were sent to owners of property within 300 feet
and to ether interested parties. 16 of the receipts have been returned.
Petitioners of the vacation are David McKechnie of Fairbanks; Gary Foster
of Kenai; Jack Poscer, Steve Foster and Don Brown of Soldotna.
Petition states purpose of vacation "To restrict public access through our
d
properties and also help to maintain natural drainage of Kenai City Street
and our gravel pit.,.
Comments of Kenai Advisory Planning Commission have not been received.?
However, telephone comments were received on 12-31-86 from Jack LaShot',-
City of Kenai, rating that.at least,& 25'4�wide drainage easement should be
:action
created if the line 4iiiaient"is viiated.
Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) letter of December 23, 1986
states:
"The ADF&G is opposed to the requested easement vacation and recommen(_~,
that it not be granted. Unrestricted public access to the Kenai Rivek-kor
recreational purposes is very important and should be maintained. The
department has no information as to the actual amount of public use that
occurs on this easement: however, the mouth of Beaver Creek is a popular
I
sport fishing area. Sport fishing pressure on the Kenai River is steadily
increasing
1
and all public access points will be needed in the future. The
department has plans to spend several million dollars on the Kenai
i
Peninsula for recreational access and has received inquiries from Kenai
River property owners interested in sellinroperty which total over three
million dollars. The department does not believe that it is in the public
interest to vacate public access easements on one hand and to spend public
funds to acquire access on the other.".- Also a letter received this date
January 5, 1987, from
Alaska Division of Parks, voiced an objection similar
to above as follows: the central paragraph of this letter "The Division of
Parks and Outdoor Recreation is opposed to the requested easement vacation
and recommends that the request be denied. Public lands and public
easements adjacent to the Kenai River are limited in number and should be
retained in public ownership. These easements are ideal locations for a
placement of boat retrieval sites, boat launching sites,
sanitary
facilities or bank fishing accesses. In the the Division has
past. spent
funds to acquire private property in order to
provide or preserve public
access to the Kenai River. The Dtvision does not believe
i
i
that it 8 in the
public's interest to vacate public easements along the Kenai River and at
some future date spend public funds to purchase public access points."
Mr. Troeger said that the two letters you will note are very similar in
content.
FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. Alternate access has not been provided.
2. Section line easement provides access to public waters.
3. Public access to Kenai River and Beaver Creek are needed.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Disapprove the vacation of Section Line Easer( .-.-:
between Angler Drive Kenai River;
and within and adjacent to north bokl�jry
of Lot 1, Anglers Acres Part Four for the reasons stated in findings.
NOTE: There are eight (8) calendar days in which to file written appeal
of Borough Planning Commission denial. Appeal must be submitted to Kenai
City Clerk.

Mr. Troeger read the staff report outlining background and staff
recommendations.
Commissioner Ernst opened the public hearing.
Testimony 11 - Mr. Jack Foster, Box 494, Soldotna, Alaska
I am one of the petitioners. Those were some interesting letterst in view
of what the letters stated, I am not going to argue the fact. At this
time, I would just as soon let it drop and not continue. It wasn't so
vital for us to have the privacy as the drainage ditch. Since Jack LaShot
wrote in and stated he wants that 25 foot right -of -day that takes care of
that drainage ditch. E
Commissioner Mickey: When you say you are going to let it drop, you mean f
that you are going to drop the petition or going to drop the dealing with j
the letters that came in.
Mr. Foster: I don't want to go for the vacation. I would just as soon
cancel. i
Hearing no further testimony, the public hearing was closed.
MOTION: Commissioner Hursh, seconded by Commissioner Bryson, made a
moc on to approve the vacation of Section Line Easement between Angler
Drive and Kenai River: within the adjacent to north boundary of Lot 1,
Anglers Acres Part Four.
Commissioner Bryson: I would like to get clarification from the borough
surveyor as to how that leaves the application itself. He is one of four
applicants.
Mr. Troeger: That's true. I think we have the petition before you and I
believe it would be in order for the Planning Commission to rule on the i
request based on the testimony given.
Commissioner Bryson: If the motion is defeated, any modification of the i
drainage easement will also be defeated. Are they addressed in the
easement itself?
Mr. Troeger: There is no drainage easement as such that exists. The city
would have the authority as I see it. I believe the city views it the same
way. They have the authority to come in and maintain the ditch, the
drainage ditch by virtue of the section line easement being in place so
there would not have to be a separate easement created at this junction
because it is contained in the existing section line easement so they have
the authority to go in and maintain it right now.
Commissioner Bryson: An adjacent property owner would not necessarily have }
that right.
Mr. Troeger: There is a ditch there. Since it f's public access, the
adjacent owners would have a certain right to do maintenance it as would
the city. `
ACTION ON THE MOTION: Hearing no further discussion or objection, a roll
callvote was to en. The motion failed unanimously.

increasing and all public access points will be needed in the future. The
department has plans to spend several million dollars on the Kenai
Peninsula for recreational access and has received inquiries from Kenai.
River property owners interested in selling property which total over three:
million dollars. The department does not believe that it is in the public
interest to vacate public access easements on one hand and to spend public
funds to acquire access on the other."
FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. Alternate access has not been provided.
2. Section line easement provides access to public waters.
3. Public access to Kenai River and Beaver Creek are needed.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Disapprove the vacation of Section Line Easement
between Angler Drive and Kenai River; within and adjacent to north boundary,
of Lot 1, Anglers Acres Part Four for the reasons stated in findings.
NOTE: There are eight (8) calendar days in which to file written a( eal
of Borough Planning Commission denial. Appeal must be submitted to Kenai
City Clerk.

Dear Mr. Fenner:
Re: Easement Vacation, McKechnie, Foster and Brown
(Secs. 2 and 11, T. 5N., R. 11 W., S.M.)
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) has reviewed
the proposal by McKechnie, Foster and Brown to vacate a
sixty-six foot section line easement common to Sections 2
and 11, Township 5 North, Range 11 West, Seward Meridian.
The easement runs approximately 634 feet in length between
Angler Drive and the Kenai River. The purpose of the
vacation is to restrict public access and also help maintain
natural drainage of city streets and a gravel pit.
The ADF&G is opposed to the requested easement vacation and
recommends that it not be granted. Unrestricted public
access to the Kenai River for recreational purposes is very f
important and should be maintained. The department has no i
information as to the actual amount of public use that
occurs on this easement; however, the mouth of Beaver Creek
is a popular sport fishing area. Sport fishing pressure on f
the Kenai River is steadily increasing and all public access
points will be needed in the future. The department has
plans to spend several million dollars on the Kenai
Peninsula for recreational access and has received inquiries
from Kenai River property owners interested in selling
property which total over three million dollars. The
department does not believe that it is in the public
interest to vacate public access easements on one hand and
to spend public funds to acquire access on the other.

The Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation has reviewed the proposal
by McKechnie, Foster, and Brown to vacate a 66-foot section line easement
common to Sections 2 and 11, T5N, R11W, S.M. The applicants have requested
(^ the vacation to restrict public access and to maintain the natural drainage
of city streets and a gravel pit.
The Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation is opposed to the requested
easement vacation and recommends that the request be denied. Public lands
and public easements adjacent to the Kenai River are limited in number and
should be retained in public ownership. These ea-.wients are ideal locations
for the placement of boat retreival sites, boat launching sites, sanitary
facilities or bank fishing accesses.
In the past the Division has spent funds to acquire private property
in order to provide or preserve public access to the Kenai River. The
Division does not believe that it is in the public's interest to vacate
public easements along the Kenai River and then at some future date spend
public funds to purchase public access points.

PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
January 14, 1987

Wise answered that the ordinance could get very specific, but then
you have defeated the entire concept.
The Commission next discussed the 30 day clause. Commissioner
Smalley suggested, "no motor home, RV, etc., may be used as a
residence or sleeping quarters after it has been parked in the city
30 days". The Commission agreed that it would create triple
negatives, however, that is the idea.
Bill Brighton suggested that the canneries use that type of
arrangement and placing a 30 day limit on them would be
restrictive. Chairman Lewis answered that what this is for is only
a guideline to give the city the opportunity to do something about
those nuisances. Bill Brighton felt that the term nuisance can tie
yourself up and nullify what you are trying to do in the first
place. Planning Specialist Loper explained that this verbiage
comes from the Kodiak code and is workable there, further it is
placed under the zoning code rather than the police section of the
code so that the city would be more responsive to complaint than
outright enforcement. The Commission suggested a fee for areas
such as the canneries.
MOTION:
Commissioner Bryson moved to continue public hearing to the next
regularly scheduled meeting, seconded by Commissioner Osborne.
Commissioner Smalley asked if the item did not return to the
Commission from the attorney by the 28th, do we need to
readvertise, answer from Commission, yes.

Planning Specialist explained that this type of item usually comes
before the Commission and Council prior to Borough action, however,
in this case the City did not receive notification in time for the
Borough action which was denial. The applicant has requested the
item come before the City through an appeal process. It will be
handled as a normal vacation request, that is, the Commission will

r

review the issue and pass along a recommended to"the Council who
will stand as a Board of Appeal. The applicant supplied material
which were not brought out at the Borough level, which you now have
before you. The applicant felt the verbiage on the application
itself was worded badly. It uses terms which suggest restricting
the public access to the river, where this is not the case. The
applicants wish to provide direct access in an orderly way and
include an easement for the drainage ditch.
Commissioner Smalley noted that the access would be provided,
however a fee would be involved. Planning Specialist Loper
explained that the applicants could do so without the vacation as
they own the property. The vacation would merely give them
additional space for the project. Commissioner Bryson noted that
the wording says they are willing to provide access, however this
requests that public access be eliminated. It appears that this is
what the state also suggests in the letters provided.
Bill Brighton, City Manager spoke. It appears that the river study
committee was saying that there are not enough accesses to the
Kenai River between the City boat ramp and Eagle Rock. They are
encouraging additional accesses to the river. With that
recommendation, our Cunningham Park has a boat launch, if you can
carry your boat down, its not feasible to drive down and launch
your boat. Therefore the City has been looking at it for either
restricting boat launching and leave it to fishing or providing
launching. During the fishing season that place is so crowded and
congested that it is not practical to provide boat launching
without spending substantial amounts of money to upgrade. Council
also considered a suggestion to go across Beaver Loop and acquire
real estate to provide parking because you couldn't possibly park
all those cars in that small park.
The Chamber of Commerce became involved through their boardwalk on
Bridge Access Rd. and it was suggested to them that if there was
some way private enterprise could undertake to build another boat
ramp or launch into that river it would help alleviate the
congestion and put a middle section between the City boat ramp and
Eagle Rock. From those conversations came this idea that you now
have before you. Most of the folks at the City felt this would be
a great idea because the City is not going to be involved in
spending substantial sums in order to provide an additional boat
access to that river and encouraged this individual to pursue that
operation. Yes it will deprive the public from a free boat launch
because he is not going to expend that money that you must in
construction of a site such as this. At the present time, even j
though the public has access you can't put a boat in down there.
It is impractical due to soils, the bank, etc. unless it is one
that you can pick up and carry. Therefore if he is going to expend
the money to build a reasonable boat launch, some of the folks at
the City felt this would be a good idea. I don't know how it got
((
in front of the Borough before coming to you, however, it did.

In conjunction with the boardwalk that the Chamber is promoting and
apparently is going to get built, they became involved in this
project also and are willing to lend a hand to this individual. He
came to us and we have attempted to make the road, from the
permitting standpoint, as easy as we possibly can, hoping that
eventually there will be another area along the river within the
City where individuals can launch their boat. You can launch your
boat at Eagle Rock, but not for free. The only free place in the
City, is the City boat ramp at the canneries and the City feels
that it might take a burden off their shoulders of trying to
acquire, pay for, and build another boat ramp in order to create
easier access to the river.
John Williams, I agree with City Manager Brighton for the need for
this type of facility, however, some of the things that bother me
is the statement to restrict public access through the properties
and help to maintain natural drainage. As you are well aware,
Congress set aside 66' easements along section lines for public
access. This is one of the only section lines that I can see that
would allow public access in the general vicinity. I am concerned
about the letter from the Alaska Dept. of Fish & Game in which they
state that they have plans to spend several million dollars on the
Kenai Peninsula for recreational access and has received inquiries
from Kenai River property owners interested in selling property
which totals over $3 million. It does not appear to be in the best
interests of the state to vacate lands on the one hand and to spend
public funds to acquire lands on the other. I tend to agree with
that, you have a gentleman that says give me the land and I will
expend my own money, while on the other hand you have the state
saying that they will be spending money to acquire, however, we
will not be spending money. I feel that more material should be
reviewed, if he is going to charge for the launching, where the
drainage is, etc.
Planning Specialist Loper referred to the material submitted at the
meeting from the applicants and explained some detail. Mr.
Williams commented that there had been a similar situation where
the City had given land away for a large project and the City ended
up reclaiming those lands at a price of $125,000. I would
encourage the Commission to wait on a decision until full plans
have been submitted.
Councilman Wise indicated a desire to see an entire package brought
before the Commission feeling that the Borough had denied the
vacation due to the lack of such information. Commissioner Bryson
referred to the proposed boat ramp profile indicates a public boat
ramp which infers that there is no fee. In looking at the area
adjacent to the section line exists either as an easement or
undeveloped ROW. I would presume the property owner that has a deed
to that property has the right to use the property until it is
developed for access by the appropriate government. It appears
that he has plenty of room to be able to develop a boat ramp on
that lot. He could use the easement for other non -permanent
facilities without a vacation. I am concerned with restricting
L

Fm-

Page 7
foot access to the river under either circumstances. I would be
supportive of a private boat ramp in the area but not at the
expense of eliminating foot access. Chairman Lewis asked if there j
was foot access at the present time, answer yes. Councilman Wise
stated that he was not aware there was a path there. Commissioner f
Smalley stated that people have used the path for a long period of
time with Mr. McKechnie chasing them away.
Commissioner Smalley referred to the notation concerning the
drainage ditch and asked if the City were going to maintain it. I
believe they had to come before us before when they wanted to
deepen that drainage. Commissioner Bryson asked if the City would
be doing that man made water course as a part of the Angler Drive
project, it is unknown. Commissioner Osborne commented on the
letter from fish & game, it appears as though the letter had been
written by someone who had never viewed the site. Commissioner E
Mishou commented that what it appeared to him was that the t
individual was asking for the Commission to recommend approval of a f
vacation which would allow a private individual to put in a boat
ramp and collect fees to further enhance his private business.
Commissioner Smalley referred to the letters submitted to the
Borough; ADF&G has suggested that all public access points to the F
river should be maintained, Div. of Parks says the same thing.
Planning Specialist Loper referred to the Kenai River Study which
presents the concept that private individuals should be encouraged
to develop facilities along the river. Councilman Wise asked the
Commission to make some type of recommendation for the Council.
Several Commissioners stated that they would like to have the issue '
postponed to the next meeting with additional material presented.
Councilman Wise stated it is immaterial. The only thing before you
tonight as in the case of the Borough is the vacation with the ;
retention of a 25' drainage easement.
MOTION:
Commissioner Smalley moved to recommend to the Council to uphold
the denial of the vacation of the 66' section line easement,
finding of fact; denial because specific criteria, which is
requested by the state agencies was not submitted referring to
denial of public access along a section line to the river, seconded f
by Commissioner Mishou.
Commissioner Bryson stated fnr the record, during the public
hearing at the Borough there was one representative of the group
that petitioned for this vacation. After the submittal of the
state information, Mr. Foster indicated that he didn't care whether
or not the application was approved or not because his concern was
a 25' drainage easement was being maintained and that was his
primary interest at the time, he explained nothing about future
development in the area. There were no other individuals T
commenting on it. f

Planning Specialist Loper explained that this item comes from the
Review Board who, after working with the "new" site plan portion of
the ordinance felt that the verbiage still did not quite convey the
intent and went on to explain. Commissioners Bryson and Smalley
discussed the definition of the word new, stating that the
interpretation could be an addition to an existing structure or
changing the interior of the structure. Planning Specialist Loper
explained that the Board used the word "improvement" because it
would cover just about any circumstance in the building industry.
Commissioner Smalley asked if the building inspector had reviewed
these amendments, answer yes, they originally came about at his
suggestion. It is his decision as to whether or not a contractor
goes before the Board.

MEMORANDUM
FRO eimogers, Attorney
of Kenai
TO: Honorable Mayor & Members of City Council
RE: Administrative Appeals From Board and Commissioners
An Appeals Board is under a duty to act justly, reasonably, and
without abuse of discretion on applications for appeal concerning
matters before it. It is a quasi-judicial body, and while strict
rules of judicial procedure may not be applicable to the
proceeding before it, the attitude and conduct of members of the
Board should be judicial and impartial.
The hearing should be a public one and is ordinarily in the
nature of a de-novo proceeding and the Board should not refuse
arbitrarily to receive and consider material evidence on the
issues being presented. Since these hearings are not judicial
hearings, they should be more or less informal and not subject to
strict judicial or technical rules of procedure. Where no
particular method of procedure for the conduct of the hearings is
provided for, the hearings must be governed by established rules
of the procedure applicable generally to administrative
tribunals.
The proceedings should be recorded so as to constitute a full and
complete statement of the proceedings with particularities
sufficient to enable a court to understand what was done should
the matter be appealed for judicial review.
The Board should not consider anything except the provisions of
the laws and facts determinative of the question whether the
situation warrants or requires the relief for which application
1
L
J
is made. Nor can it consider burdens or hardships arising not
from zoning laws but from plat or deed restrictions, since these
are not relevant to proper grounds for relief from zoning
restrictions. Protests and objections should be considered.
It is the duty of the Board to require the submission of evidence
to establish facts and it is incumbent on a party to produce
evidence if he desires to preserve his right of judicial review
of an adverse administrative decision. The evidence must be
sufficient to justify the administrative action for which
application is made. In the case of a variance, there must be
sufficient evidence of unnecessary hardship or difficulty and of
conformity with the fundamental purpose of zoning plan, and
consistency with substantial justice. The hearing before the
Board being de-novo, the decision being appealed from is not
conclusive and binding on the Board as to issues of fact. The
Board is empowered to ascertain facts from any competent evidence
and members of the Board are entitled to consider facts learned
by them from personal observation of the location in question and
surrounding conditions. The Board may, in the exercise of its
discretion, take a view of the premises at any time prior to
deciding on an application, and the Board may consider and rely
upon what it saw on the view. Where such a procedure is
followed, however, the Board must set forth in the return the
facts known to, and acted on, by its members but not otherwise
disclosed. Various personal observations of Board members have
been deemed sufficient evidence for the taking of administrative
action.
The Board may consider the recommendation of City officials but
may not substitute that judgment for theirs.
The general rule with respect to the hearings, is that witnesses
should be sworn, and their testimony taken only on oath, unless
the administration of the oath to witnesses has been waived.
Such waiver should be upon the consent of the Board as well as
the parties. The administration of an oath is particularly
appropriate where material findings of fact must be made on
conflicting testimony.
Insofar as presumptions and burden of proof, it is maintained
that:
"A party applying or appealing for relief to a zoning board
of adjustment or review has the burden of proof of facts
entitling him to that relief ... if an applicant seeks the
allowance by the zoning board of a variance or exception, he
has the burden of proving facts entitling him to it; i.e.,
he has the burden of setting before the zoning board the
evidence necessary for exercise of its seasoned discretion.
It follows that failure or insufficiency of proof as to any
factor or element essential to the allowance of a variance
will defeat the application therefor. Unless an applicant
2
L
is required to establish by proof all the essential elements
of his right to relief, a board of review would have the :.
power to nullify the zoning ordinance under the guise of -=
exceptions or variances. But the burden of proof is j
sustained by evidence that under special conditions, a
literal enforcement of the provisions of a zoning ordinance
will result in unnecessary hardship and that in spirit the
ordinance will be observed and substantial justice done by
allowing a variance."
Any action or decision of the Board must be based upon facts as
established by the evidence properly introduced before it. The
decision of the Board as to variances where other matters rests
exclusively within its own discretion, but its decision must not
constitute an abuse of discretion or power, and in this respect, i
is always subject to judicial review and reversal.
The recommendations of City officials are not intended to prevent
a Board of Zoning appeal or the like from either granting or
refusing a permit. The action or decision of the Board is
presumed to be valid. t
The Board requires a quorum consisting of four and a majority is
the requisite required vote.
The Board is required within thirty days after the hearing, to
render a decision on the appeal and can impose appropriate i
conditions and safeguards in accordance with zoning ordinances
relative to any matter subject to its jurisdiction. Any
conditions imposed must be reasonable and not arbitrary, 4
unnecessary or oppressive and they must be related to and f
incidental to the proposed use of the property. Thus, the Board
is not limited to an affirmance or reversal of the actions below,
but may use its judgment and discretion in making such j
modification and attach such conditions and restrictions to the
granting of a variance as in its opinion should be made.
Before arriving at its decision, the Board should make findings
of fact upon the evidence so that any reviewing authorities may
be advised of the reasoning behind the Board's decision
especially where the relief sought is granted.
The general rule would seem to be that parties in a zoning
proceedings have a right to cross-examine witnesses offered by an I
adversary.
�I�
FIN
Witnesses should be administered the following as an oath or
affirmation prior to their testimony:
"Do you solemnly swear that the testimony that you are about
to give in the case now before this Board, to be the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the truth...
So help you God?
Under pain and penalty of perjury?

Dear Council Members, �oz
The Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation has reviewed the proposal
by McKechnie, Foster and Brown to vacate a 66-foot section line easement
common to Sections 2 and 11, T5N, R11W, Seward Meridian.
The Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation is opposed to the requested
easement vacation and recommends that the request be denied. Public lands
and public easements adjacent to the Kenai River are limited in number
and should be retained in public ownership. The Kenai River Comprehensive
Management Plan addresses vacations of easements and right-of-ways in
Chapter 4, Recommendations for Land and Water Use: "The Kenai Peninsula
Borough and the Cities of Kenai and Soldotna should not vacate section
line easements or dedicated rights -of -way which provide reasonable access
to the River. Reasonable access includes vehicular or pedestrian access,
and may include steep bluffs or other areas only suitable for foot trails
i or stairways. These easements are ideal locations for the placement
of boat retrieval sites, boat launching sites, sanitary facilities or
bank fishing accesses.
In the past, the Division has spent funds to acquire private property
in order to provide or preserve public access to the Kenai River. The
Division does not believe that it is in the public's interest to vacate
public easements along the Kenai River and then, at some future date,
spend public funds to purchase public access points.
Sincerely,

From Home Owners:
Read into public record. Kenai City Council
TELEGRAM #422
From Anchorage
Addressed to: Kenai City Council
Attention of: Janet Loper
We as of affected property owners request that the following
comments be read into the record at the Public Hearing February
4, 1987, of the Kenai City Council.
We vigorously object to the vacation of the easement off Angler
Drive for the following reasons:
1. It is a piece -meal step in a much larger plan which
will involve zoning changes to Lot 1 of Angles Acres
Subdivision. The entire plan should be considered
before approval because it will have an extremely
detrimental effect on the residential community of
Angles Acres. For this reason, broader notice should
have been given than is required for easement vacation.
2. The easement should not be vacated because it would
deny public access.
3. Corps of Engineers input has not been provided to
determine the potential damage to Beaver creek.
4. The proposed development is not compatible with the
existing development. The plan would create
congestion in Beaver Creek and there is no room for the
boats from a large RV park to be concentrated on one
lot in a residential subdivision. The foot trespass
problem through Anglers Acres property for the
occupants for the RV park to gain access to the bank
fishing would be intolerable. For this reason zoning
changes to Angles Acres Lot 1 should be addressed at
the same time and no piece -meal approval of this plan
should be permitted because it denies proper input from
those that are affected.

RE: Request for appeal of
Decision of Kenai Peninsula
Borough Planning Commission
Dear Mrs. Whelan,
I would like to say a few things about our upcoming appeal
which at this point may not be clear.
First the purpose of this vacation, as it appears, is in-
correct. This was a fault of mine in the beginning, not under-
standing how this wording would be interpreted. I would like to
take the opportunity to clear up this mistake.
The long term plan for this property is to construct a boat
ramp into the lower Kenai River. At this time the permits for
such an activity have been applied for, and public notices will
be out in the near future. This boat ramp is designed to serve
the public with concrete ramps extending into the river, facilitat-
ing use at high or low water.
The most practical place to construct this ramp is adjacent
to the 25' drainage ditch right of way of the City of Kenai. At
this point, the bank into the river is lower and less steep,
allowing for more natural access. This spot is on the section
line right of way , which allows foot traffic to access the river.
If this were vacated, it would leave a larger area for much need-
ed parking of vehicles and boat trailers. In addition , a wooded
buffer zone between the adjacent property owner and the public
boat ramp is planned, with a small park like area above the ramp
for viewing , relaxing etc.
We feel this is a valuable addition to the facilities offered
by the City of Kenai. At no out of pocket cost to the City, this
project would help develope tourism and also help to alleviate
some of the increased pressure on the upper Kenai River.

Mr. John Williams, Mayor

Kenai, Alaska 99611 r
Dear Mr. Williams:
As we are aware, there is serious concern over the next fiscal year
State budget. Two items which highly impact the Railbelt Area are
Bradley Lake and the Railbelt Energy Fund.
The Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project has had good public support.
Construction has started, and the project is providing immediate
needed jobs. Power from the project will be necessary in the
Railbelt Area, and the project is definitely financially feasible.
There is some concern whether the remaining funds will be provided
and whether the project should continue to completion. The
Legislature had agreed to fund $218 million. A total of $168
million has been appropriated, of which $50 million was "frozen" by
Governor Sheffield. The $50 million nNNds to be unfrozen, and
another $50 million should be appropriated. This last $50 million
could easily come from the Railbelt Energy Fund.
Another area of concern is the $280 million in the Railbelt Energy
Fund. This Fund has been established for energy projects in the
Railbelt from Fairbanks to the Kenai Peninsula.
Additional generation projects are not immediately needed beyond
Bradley Lake. The Railbelt Energy Council and the seven Railbelt
utilities have. indicated the most beneficial purpose for part of
the Railbelt Energy Fund is to build new transmission facilities
between the Kenai Peninsula and Anchorage, and improve the
transmission facilities between Anchorage and Fairbanks. This
action would provide tremendous flexibility and economies.
It appears prudent to ask the Kenai City Council to consider a
Resolution in support of Bradley Lake and support of proper
utilization of the Railbelt Energy Fund. We have attached a
proposed Resolution for your consideration.
We suggest the Resolution, or something similar, be sent to all of
the Railbelt Legislators and to the Governor's Office.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. We look
forward to working with you.

RESOLUTION 87-2
(Introduced by City Manager)
A RESOLUTION CONCERNING THE BRADLEY LAKE HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT
AND THE PROPOSED RAILBELT AREA ELErTRICAL TRANSMISSION INTERTIES
WHEREAS, the Alaska State Legislature has, in past years, appropriated
monies that now total $282 million to the Railbelt Energy Fund for the
generation and distribution of electrical power throughout the Railbelt; and,
WHEREAS, the Legislature has also appropriated $158 million to the Bradley
Lake Hydroelectric Project, of which $50 million has been "impounded" due
to the State's declining oil revenues; and,
WHEREAS, the Bradley Lake Project is currently about $100 million short of
promised cash grant appropriations from the State of Alaska; and,
WHEREAS, it is reported that the Horner Electric Association will be
required to "take or pay" for 10 to 20 percent of the Bradley Lake output
and to borrow an additional $20 million in connection with the Bradley
Lake Project to construct an an electrical transmission line between Homer
and Soldotna; and,
WHEREAS, some of this area's largest electrical customers, representing
more than 25 percent of Homer Electric's revenues, are considering plans to
generate their own power in reaction to recent rate increases; and,
WHEREAS, an agreement in principle has been reached by all seven Railbelt
utilities, which collectively serve more than 75 percent of the State's
population, to support a regional power development program, which would
require $218 million of grant funding for Bradley Lake and to use the
Railbelt Energy Fund for construction of transmission interties between the
Kenai Peninsula, Anchorage and Fairbanks; and,
WHEREAS, there are important public policy questions whether Homer
Electric Association's ratepayers can afford more debt and higher electric
rates and whether the remaining $100 million needed for Bradley Lake can
be financed in cash from the State's General Fund; and,
WHEREAS, there is now both an excess of electrical generation capacity in
all areas and a need for lower priced power in some areas of the Railbelt;
and,
WHEREAS, upgraded transmission intertie systems would enable each
utility within the Railbelt to share electrical power and, thereby, avoid
4�
duplication of capital investment for power generation; and,
J
J <�
n
I-
Resolution 87-2
City of Soldotna
WHEREAS, upgraded interties would enable mutually beneficial
arrangements between the utilities whereby Fairbanks area utilities could
buy less expensive gas generated power from the Kenai and Anchorage
areas; and,
WHEREAS, upgraded interties would enable natural gas, coal or alternative
technology electrical generation projects to be brought on line in increments
less expensive than Bradley Lake as justified by growth in demand; and,
WHEREAS, this Railbelt transmission system has broad support among labor
and government leaders, Chambers of Commerce, the Alaska coal industry,
and others; and,
WHEREAS, funding of the Bradley Lake Dam Project is at a critical juncture;
and,
WHEREAS, it has become obvious that the upgraded intertie systems are
more important to the well being of the Railbelt's electrical consumers than
the costs and risks incidental to continued construction at Bradley Lake
pursuant to the current financing plan; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOLDOTNA AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: We support using the Railbelt Energy Fund for financing
electrical transmission interties between the Kenai Peninsula, Anchorage
and Fairbanks. In addition to the lines which have been proposed by the
area utilities, we believe the transmission Iine between Soldotna and Homer
should also qualify for funding from the Railbelt Energy Fund.
Section 2. We believe the final power sales agreements for Bradley Lake
should be equal in form to the agreements made for the Four Dam Pool so
that the early year cost of the hydro power will be equal or lower than
alternative means of electrical generation. The present financing plan for
borrowing up to an additional $175 million for construction is projected to
make the hydro power more expensive than gas in the early years and
requires substantially more risks to the area's ratepayers in the event of
an earthquake or tsunami.

Resolution 87-2
City of Soldotra
Section 3. If it is perceived necessary to offer a "take or pay, come hell or
high water pledge" as security for the APA's Revenue Bonds, we believe the
question of continued state funding for Bradley Lake should be contingent
upon a favorable Railbelt-wide referendum of the area's ratepayers, just
as the State or any Municipality would be required to seek voter
ratification for its General Obligation Bonds.
Section 4. We encourage decision makers to look more closely at the costs
and benefits of alternative means of electrical generation. We should not
disregard the economic impacts of jobs associated with the present use and
future development of gas, coal and alternative generation resources.

TO: Mayor & Members of the Soldotna City Council
'i
FROM: Richard Underkofler, City Manager
DATE: January 7, 1987
SUBJECT: Bradley Lake / Railbelt Electrical Transmission Interties i
Homer Electric Association (HEA) has asked the Council to consider a ;
Resolution in support of continued grant funding for construction of the
Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project. HEA has also asked you to support a
f
proposal to use some of the Railbelt Energy Fund money for construction of
transmission interties between the Kenai Peninsula, Anchorage and
Fairbanks. The suggestion is made that appropriations made to these „-
projects might be considered "loans" for subsequent paq-back into a
revolving fund to enable future Railbelt energy project development.
A copy of a letter from Kent Wick, HEA General Manager, dated December f
29 relating to this subject is attached.
s
It is suggested that you defer consideration of this topic until your Council
meeting of January 21 because the Kenai Peninsula Caucus has scheduled a f
meeting for consideration of these matters on January 17. It will be held at
e
the Homer City Hall beginning at 1 FDA. Representatives of the Alaska
Power Authority (APA), HEA and other Railbelt electric utilities have been
invited to make presentations to the Caucus. Members of the Council map
- -
wish to attend to become more acquainted with the present status of these =
affairs.
Here is a summary of my current understanding of the issues and some
ideas for alternative solutions derived from my Petersburg experience with
the Four Dam Pool Hydro Project negotiations. Ik
F
Background: r
-
HEA and Chugach Electric Association have signed agreements with the
'
Alaska Power Authority (APA) indicating that they will assume long term
debt not too exceed $200 million for the Bradley Lake Project based upon an
expectation that the State would provide cash appropriations in the amount 1
of $218 million toward the construction cost.
The APA has borrowed interim construction, financing on the order of $267
million for the Bradley Lake project and has encumbered approximately $58
million for the first phases of construction.

In negotiations for the "final" power sales agreement, the Railbelt utilitiesAL
have indicated that they also want a cash appropriation from the Railbelt
Energy Fund (this is money which was formerly earmarked for the ;
Susitno Project) in amounts sufficient to fund an upgrade to the intertie
systems between the Kenai Peninsula and Fairbanks. The Railbelt Energy
Fund presently contains $280 million.
i :.
The utilities argue that the interties need upgrading in order to improve
system reliability and to increase the capacity of transmission lines to
carry power back and forth between the Kenai Peninsula, Anchorage and
Fairbanks. Such upgraded interties would improve power sales from
Bradley Lake for peaking power requirements throughout the Railbelt. The
Railbelt interties may also improve the utilities bargaining position in _
negotiations for future sources of generation energy - natural gas and coal.
The APA maintains that the interties are not absolutely necessary to
making Bradley Lane work because interties already exist between the - -
Kenai Peninsula and Fairbanks. i
1
The State has appropriated $168 million to the Bradley Lake Project. The
State has "impounded" the $50 million FY 87 appropriation. The remaining
$50 million was scheduled for appropriation in FY 88. So the project is
currently about $100 million short of promised cash appropriations. Due to
a budget deficit from declining oil revenues, there is a question whether
the remaining $100 million can be provided in cash from the State's general
fund.
Meanwhile, Tesoro, one of this area's largest electrical customers, in
reaction to recent HEA rate increases, is threatening to to pull off the
system and start generating its own electricity from natural gas. If this
happens, the cost of electricity for all of HEA's other customers would
increase considerably.
The utilities have been asked to assume the full $200 million in
debt financing for the project. These proceeds together with
revenues earned from interest earnings, revisions to the
assumptions related to interest expense and estimated project
construction costs may be sufficent to complete the construction
without delay. The Bradley Lake Project may be shut down if the
utilities will not agree to assuming $200 million in debt for the
project_
The utilities argue that the debt service cost from borrowing the full $200
million would raise electric rates so high that the Bradley Lake power may
not be competitive with natural gas. Even now there are serious questions
about whether or not Bradley Lake will be competitive with natural gas.
Some projections have shown that natural gas would be cheaper in the
short term, assuming full grant funding ($218 million) and full utilization of
the project energy.
The utilities want any savings to be applied to reducing the amount of debt
which the utilities will assume for the project.
L

Bradley Lake i
The current estimate of construction cost for Bradley Lake is $356 million.
Some say the ultimate cost could be lower due to the current competitive s
bidding climate. However, it should be noted that 2 of Alaska's most recent j
hydro projects (Tyee Lake in Wrangell/Petersburg and Solomon Gulch in
Valdes) had substantial construction cost overruns.
s
At $356 million, Bradley Lake would be the most expensive capital project
this state has ever undertaken. Although the project is rated at 90 ,
megawatts, its average annual producing capability is projected to be 45
megawatts. Due to seasonal variation in the water supply, water would be y; '
accumulated behind the dam and reserved for peaking operations. Its ( --
construction cost ($7.9 million/megawatt) is quite expensive when compared E
to gas generation plants, but it would not be as expensive as the Terror `t
Lake Project in Kodiak, which holds the dubious distinction of being the -
most expensive hydro project in the world. The Terror Lake Project ended
up at about $200 million for 20 megawatts ($10 million/megawatt). In
contrast, the gas generating plant recently constructed in Soldotna had a
construction cost of $18.1 million and has a capability of 38 megawatts
($476 thousand/megawatt).
Comparisons of hydro projects to gas generation projects must consider life
cycle costs, however, because gas generation projects have much higher
operation and replacement costs. The cost of buying natural gas must be
factored in when computing the total cost of a gas plant. Hydro projects _
also have a longer useful life. Most components of the Bradley Lake project �
are said to have a useful life of 100 years. A gas generating plant has a
useful life of about 20 years.
The Bradley Lake project was projected to result in 6 cent per kWh
wholesale power coming on line in 1990 assuming: a $356 million project
cost; the full $218 million in grants from the state, an average annual
interest rate of 109 on borrowed funds and 100P sales of all project power.
Any of these assumptions could vary widely. For example, the APA is
generating some additional project revenue from investment of the
construction financing loan proceeds; interest rates are presently lower
than 10Y.; and the construction cost could be lower due to today's !
competitive bidding climate. A tidy sum is included for contingencies in the i
current construction cost estimate. I
APA's current projections indicate that Bradley Lake power could have an
entry rate of 4.9 cents/kWh if all interest earnings derived from past
appropriations and the interim construction financing proceeds are used to
help finance construction.
In contrast, HEA's current wholesale cost of power from Chugach is
approximately 4 cents per kWh. When blended with the cost of HEA's
Soldotna gas turbine peaking plant, HEA's generation cost is now reported to
be 4.4 cents per kWh. - - -

r
Bradley Lake's economic viability is said to depend mostly on what the
price of natural gas will be in the future. Is it realistic to assume that the
price of natural gas will increase according to the projections? How about
coal? Since we have plenty of coal and natural gas resources in this area,
will competition between coal and gas tend to keep prices competitive?
Given our abundant supply of natural gas, it seems likely that our gals
suppliers will always be able to price their product below the equivalent
cost of energy from Bradley Lake. The potential threat of losing the
large industrial loads to independent gas generation is likely to
always be with us unless the price of Bradley Labe power can be
brought in and always remain below the alternative cost of
natural gas.
There is speculation that the Railbelt Energy Fund money will be
used for other purposes - such as for other capital projects or
for balancing the state's current budget deficit.
This would be a real rip-off to the Railbelt's residents. Other areas of the
State have received millions of dollars for energy subsidies from State
funds on the promise that the Railbelt would get a eventually get a "fair
share". The hydro projects in the Four Dam Pool were completely financed
with $479 million in grants and loans: the cash grants totaled $293 million,
the principal amount of the State loan was $186 million. Electric utilities in
the Bush have been receiving subsidies on the order of $20 million per year
from the State's power cost equalization program.
The Railbelt has a well documented claim to the $280 million reserved in
the Railbelt Energy Fund as well as to the $118 million appropriated to
Bradley Lake in previous fiscal years. The Alaska Legislature has a moral
obligation to appropriate this money for use within the Railbelt.
ALTERNATIVES:
Alaskans are never short on ideas as to how to spend money. Here are
some choices which have occurred to me as to how the Bradley Lake and
Railbelt Energy Fund money could be used:
(1) Perhaps, the Bradley Lake Project could be completely
financed by the State by borrowing the remainder needed for
construction from the Railbelt Energy Fund.
This was the method of financing used for the Four Dam Pool Hydroelectric
Projects when it was determined that alternative sources of energy would
be less expensive than power from the hydro projects in the short term
and Petersburg rejected the "take or past, come hell or high water" terms
required for conventional long term financing.
Bradley Lake
f7) � In the Four Dam Pool model, the debt was structured in a geometric ,
manner so that so that the price of the hydro power would always be less
than the diesel generation alternative. Debt service payments deferred in j
the early years will be carried forward to later years when the price of
the alternative fuel and project sales are expected to be higher. The entry }
level debt service payments were 4 cents/kWh.
1
I
The State was promised an 89 per year return on its loan over the 40 year
life of the contract provided that the debt service payments would not
increase the cost of power higher than the statewide average. In this
instance, the debt service payments would be reduced so that the power
cost within the Four Dam Pool would be equivalent to the statewide ;
average. This provision will tend to provide incentive for other
areas of the State to be interested in anaicing sure that power
costs in the Railbelt remain as low as possible_
There appears to be sufficient money available to accommodate a loan
transaction similar to the Four Dam Pool model, if $238 million could be
borrowed from the Railbelt Energy Fund and added to the $118 million in
grant funds already appropriated to the project. Repayment of the loan
could be structured in a fashion similar to the loans made for the Four
Dam Pool so that the price of the power would always be less expensive
than gas generation.
The rate of return for the State should be 89 per annum in order to be
consistent with the precedent established with the Four Dam Pool loan and
to be fair to other areas of the State. For example, Bush areas will
probably make a claim to interest income received from State energy loans
for continuation of the power cost equalization program.
This alternative would:
(a) assure funding for completing construction at Bradley Lake without
delay;
(b) provide a source of money for paying off the interim construction
financing;
(c) bring in the Bradley Lake power at price equal to or lower than gas
generation;
(d) mitigate the potential of losing the large industry electric loads;
(e) avoid the onerous security and insurance terms required of
conventional long term bonds (this is particularly important to protect
ratepayers against the risks of low water years, an earthquake or
tsunami); and,
i
•i
(f) and generate a means of capital recovery for future energy projects
and taking care of power cost equalization in the Bush. -
r

I
r—
Bradley Lake
The downside of this proposal is that would put all of the "eggs in one
basket"; it would leave only $42 million for upgrading the intertie systems;
and it would delay funding for other energy projects which may be needed
within the Railbelt.
So here is an alternative choice which is likely to be unpopular, but which
might be more in tune with the state's current economic conditions:
(2) Perhaps, it would be more cost effective to delay further
construction at Bradley Labe and apply the remaining money
(less shut down costs) with the money in the Railbelt Energy
Fund toward:
(a) constructing the upgraded intertie systems; and
(b) paying off a proportionate share of the current debt of
each Railbelt utility.
Upgraded intertie systems between the Kenai Peninsula, Anchorage and
Fairbanks would enable each utility to share resources and, thereby, avoid
duplication of capital investment for power generation. It would enable
Fairbanks area utilities to buy larger blocks of gas generated power from
the Kenai and Anchorage areas, which is presently less expensive than coal
and fuel oil. C
Additional natural gas or coal generation projects could be brought on line
in smaller increments as more rationally justified by growth in demand.
The Soidotna gas generating plant seems to be an example of excess capacity
in the current system which could be shared with the other utilities.
HEA's Kenai Peninsula electric rates could be lowered, if some of the power
generated from Soldotna could be sold to the other Railbelt utilities.
If a natural gas pipeline is ever built from the North Slope, additional gas
generating plants could be brought on line in Fairbanks and other locations
along the route of the pipeline, and thereby, enable the sharing of North
Slope energy via the interties throughout the Railbelt. Likewise, if
additional coal fields are developed on the west side of Cook Inlet or in the
Fairbanks area and if the price is more competitive than natural gas,
additional coal generating plants could be brought on line and the power
shared along the interties throughout the Railbelt.
Using the remaining money to pay off existing utility debt could provide
immediate benefit in terms of reducing everyone's cost of power. It would
offset projected increases in local taxes as the State decreases its sharing of
revenues with local governments. It would give the utilities extra
borrowing capacity for future additions to plant and equipment.
The promise of free grant money tends to distort the conventional economic i
criteria used to justify capital improvements. Asking the utilities to start
over again without the promise of hydro power from projects on the
Susitna River and Bradley Lake might facilitate more rational planning for
the sharing of alternative power- generation resources within the Railbelt.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Williams and Council Members
FROM: Janet Loper, Planning Specialsit
SUBJECT: Ordinance 1133-86 Pertaining to a New Townsite Historic (TSH)
Zoning District
DATE: January 15, 1987
The Planning & Zoning Commission held additional work sessions and
public hearings to "clean up" the document to bring it into compliance
with KMC14.25. Landscaping ordinance after the addition of the site plan
requirements.
There has long been a discussion over where the district should lie.
The final outcome of the additional work sessions and public hearings is
that the line should be extended to Lake Street in order to include the
location of the old Harbor view building and open up that area for
further controlled mixed development.
As evidenced by the articles in the Clarion, the public appears to be
happy with the steps taken thus far.

MEMORANDUM
T0: Mayor Williams and Council Members
FROM: Janet Loper, Planning Specialsit
SUBJECT: Ordinance 1133-86 Pertaining to a New Townsite Historic (TSH)
Zoning District
DATE: January 29, 1987
At the last Council meeting, several suggestions were made to "clean up"
the ordinance. Mayor Williams suggested that the numbers be changed
from KMC14.20.145 to KMC14.20.105 which would change its placement in
the index from the last of the zoning items to fit between residential
and commercial classifications.
Additionally, that verbiage be added to identify the location of the new
zoning district. This is more difficult as there are only two natural
boundaries which could describe the location. It cannot be done by plat
as not all areas are within definitive plats existing. Therefore, the
vebiage added relates only to the Official City of Kenai Zoning Map
which will depict the zoning district as shown on the attached map.
The other changes are corrections to typing errors which can be done at
any time should more become apparent.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Williams and Council Members
FROM: Janet Loper, Planning Specialist
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 1188-87 Pertaining to Encroachment Permits
DATE: January 15, 1987
At the present time, a Variance to the zoning code is used for
irregularities prior to construction. However, if there is a
pre-existing condition which does not meet the zoning code, a property
owner is at a loss to proceed. (Usually his desire is to buy a home or
sell his home.) if his home encroaches on to the adjacent property or
into a setback he must replat which takes about 3 months minimum and
many steps through at least two agencies.
The Encroachment Permit is a vehicle by which the property owner can
present this document to the local financial institution and Borough
which says, in effect, that the City of Kenai has reviewed his problem
and approved this permit. The property owner will still have to replat,
however, his time has been cut down to three weeks at the most,
depending upon submittal date and public hearing time, allowing him to
move ahead with his sale. The platting can be accomplished at any point
thereafter.

KENAI MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 14.25.010 AND 14.25.020 PERTAINING TO THE
LANDSCAPING/SITE PLAN ORDINANCE.
WHEREAS, during the course of reviewing and attempting to meet the
needs of developers, it has been found by the Landscaping/Site Plan
Review Board that there is an area of the code that is lacking, and
WHEREAS, the Board has worked towards drafting revisions which would
clarify the meaning and intent of the ordinance and sent them on to the

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI,
ALASKA, as follows:
Section 1•
A portion of KMC14.25.010 be amended to read: "The general purpose
of landscaping is to visually enhance the city's appearance and
reduce erosion and storm runoff. (Ord 1094)"
A portion of KMC14.25.020 be amended to read: " 'Commercial
development' shall be defined as any improvements requiring a i
building permit for new construction or any improvements of $10,000 ;
or more located on properties ....." as defined in the attached

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Williams and Council Members
FROM: Janet Loper, Planning Specialist
SUBJECT: Amend KKC14.25.010 and 14.25.020 Pertaining to Landscaping/
Site Plan Requirements
DATE: January 15, 1987
The attached copy of the ordinance with their revisions comes to you
from the Planning Comlmission and the Landscaping/Site Plan Review Board
who are requesting these changes after having worked with the ordinance
felt these changes necessary.
1114.25.010 Intent:" The Board feels that dealing with issues regarding
property values should lie with the attorney rather than with the Board.
The Board recognized that no development in a situation with adjacent
land uses could avoid lower property values to one of the lots.
1114.25.020 Application:" adds Qiia to clarify intent. Presently, the
wording of the ordinance has been interpreted to mean that only
construction of $10,000 or more need appear before the Board. This was
not the intent of Council or the Board. By adding the words, "new" and
"or any improvements". The sentence now reads "Commercial development
shall be defined as any improvements requiring a building permit for new
construction or any improvements of $10,000 or more located on
properties within ......." and meats the intent of the ordinance.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers,
ty of Kenai
FRO im Rogers, City Attorney
City of Kenai
RE: Item � Ordinance 1188 and Item J4, Ordinance 1189,
Amending certain sections of the Zoning Code.
Before the Council are two ordinances relating to the City of
Kenai zoning code. The Legal Department has some concerns about
both the form and content of these two ordinances.
It is requested that Ordinance 1188 be defeated and Ordinance
1189 be returned to Planning & Zoning accompanied by the Legal
Department's suggested changes.
ORDINANCE 1188-87
As to Ordinance 1188-87 (Encroachment Permits), the sole apparent
reason for enacting this ordinance appears to be to avoid the
time it takes to re -plat properties. The reason being that
purchasers of properties or sellers may be aided by the City
acquiescing to encroachments rather than making the seller or
buyers wait through a re -plat procedure.
From a legal standpoint, the way the Kenai Municipal Code section
relate to variances (14.20.180), could not be used for
encroachments. Traditionally in the law of zoning, variances
have not been used for curing encroachments. The problem that
arises with granting blanket encroachment permits occurs in a two
or three -party situation. If the owner's property is encroaching
upon a neighbor's property, the City cannot simply grant an
encroachment permit, because the third party's rights are being
affected. It is up to the owner to buy that portion of the
neighbor's property in order to avoid the encroachment or remove
the encroachment itself. It is a civil matter between the two
parties, not between the City of Kenai and a potential buyer or
seller of houses.
1
L
L
The memo accompanying the proposed ordinance really limits itself
,e
to the one situation where the City desires to reduce the time
sellers need to close sales. Absent other specific provisions or
bt�
reasons, this particular ordinance sounds very much like special
-
legislation. Special legislation may, of course, be subject to
attack by third parties.
The first problem with the language of the ordinance is that it
is, in effect, adding in certain language and subtracting other
language (most referring to the building official) in an
-'
ordinance which does not even exist yet. If these few additions
and deletions are being made to an ordinance approved by Planning
{
& Zoning, then the matter needs to go back to Planning & Zoning
for approval of the additions and deletions. In addition, under
Section (d)(3), there appears to be no language. If language is
missing, it should be added, or if there is no language for
(d)(3), it should be subtracted.
'.'
After subparagraph (e), the headings appear to be mismarked.
They should be remarked to indicate subparagraphs f, g, h, and i.
As to the expiration of the permit, it suggests that one of the
`
times for expiration is following the useful life of the building
or structure. This is too vague and needs to be defined or at
least clarified. The last subheading, which should be (i),
-
contains two words in it that are apparently out of order and
--
should not be there. One is misspelled (shll application).
These should be removed.
In conclusion then, the effect of the proposed ordinance is to
create yet another exception to the zoning code. This appears to
be an exception to the variances of 14.20.180(c)(2). It is
getting to the point where exceptions are going to swallow the
rule. Courts have repeatedly invalidated municipal ordinances
which grant variances too freely, based upon unlimited criteria.
Encroachments are best dealt with as they are. While this may be
an inconvenience to buyers and sellers, the system is, in effect,
'
not broken and there exists little reason to fix it.

ORDINANCE 1189-87
Y
-__
As to Ordinance 1189-87 (Landscaping/Site Plan), there are also
several problems. Correction of the landscaping/site plan
ordinance seems to be a never ending process. Last summer
'
therewere several extensive amendments made to the regulations.
The Legal Department recently undertook to consolidate those
--- --_ -.
amendments into a final form for inclusion in the Kenai Municipal
-
Code.
_ l
I
L
SO
w
M
When the Legal Department attempted to consolidate the various
amendments, we found numerous discrepancies and conflicts. The
Legal Department has since undertaken to correct these problems
and has a set of amendments to the landscaping/site plan code to
set everything straight again. Amending the ordinance yet again
before we have had a chance to enact an appropriate codified
version, only adds to the confusion. The regulations as set
forth in the attached Exhibit "A" are, in fact, not the way some
of the Code actually appears to date and the Council should have
the full information available to it before amending it yet
again.
The intent, as explained in KMC 14.25.010, includes the
maintenance or increase in property values. Admittedly, there
was some misunderstanding about this provision of the Code during
the convenience store discussions last spring. There is an
attorney's memo on the subject clarifying it. Further, the
maintenance or increase in property values is well within a
city's police power and usually considered a part of zoning
powers. See, Mc uillin, Section 24.14.
The memorandum accompanying the proposed regulation change
suggests that property values should, "lie with the attorney."
This is quite unclear and could probably use some clarification.
The memo goes on to suggest that, "the Board recognizes that no
development in a situation with adjacent land uses could avoid
lower property values to one of the lots." This statement is
undecipherable also. It could mean that where a commercial
development takes place in a zoning next to a residential
development, there is an inevitable decrease in the property of
the residential value immediately adjacent to the commercial
zone. Whatever the meaning, it should probably be clarified. In
addition, proposed amendments to KMC 14.25.020 deal with new
construction. This section defines commercial development, but
does not define industrial development. The words "and
industrial" need to be added into the second line after
"commercial" and between "development." Also "new construction"
should be defined with some sort of clarity. There could be
problems if construction has already taken place upon a
commercial lot.
In conclusion then as to the Ordinance 1189-87, it would be the
Legal Department's wish that the Council not act on the matter
until we have time to submit the consolidated and corrected

Re: Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project -
Dear Mr. Brighton:
Enclosed please find a copy of Resolution 87-2 supporting the
Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project as adopted by the Homer City j
Council on January 26, 1987. With the encouragement of the ;}
Homer Electric Association and the Homer Chamber of Commerce,
the City Council unanimously supports the Bradley Lake Project }
and urges legislative funding necessary to complete the project C
with no delay in construction.
t
The Council further urges that a plan be developed in which the
Railbelt Energy Funds spent for transmission interties, the
Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project and other energy projects
can eventually be recovered to enable future Railbelt energy
project development.
There appear to be four basic and highly beneficial consequences }
of the combined Bradley Lake/Railbelt Transmission Program.
These are:
1. Long term consumer electric rates significantly
lower than they might otherwise be;
2. Operational advantages and efficiencies for
Railbelt electric utilities that would not otherwise be
possible, translating into signiiicantly improved
regional power reliability;
3. Greatly increased opportunities for economic
development in the Railbelt, through establishment of a
true electric energy intrastructuLe;
4. A virtually unprecedented regional cohesiveness
brought about by creation of the still growing coali-
tion supporting the Bradley Lake/Railbelt Transmission
System Program, which would not exist if the projects
were considered independently.
L.�
r-
January 28, 1987
Page l
The Alaska Power Authority's current projections intricate that
Bradley Lake power could have an entry rate of 4.9 cents per
kWh it all interest earnings derived !:rom past appropriations
and the interim construction financing proceeds are used to help
finance construction. In contrast, H&A's current wholesale cost
of power once blended with the Soldotna gas turbine peaking
plant, is now reported to be 4.4 cents per Mi.
Other areas of the state have received millions of dollars for
energy subsidies from state funds on the promise that the
Railbelt would eventually get a 'fair share." The hydroprojects
in the Four Dam Pool were completely =inanced with 4479 million
in grants and loans. Electric utilities in the bush have
received subsidies on the order of 420 million per year from the
State Power Cost Equalization Program. Therefore, we believe
the Alaska Legislature has a moral obligation to appropriate
Railbelt monies at this time for projects within the Railbelt,
specifically Bradley Lake and the transmission interties.
Thank you for your favorable consideration of this request.
Sincerely,

by request of the Commission for a measure to assist those
homeowners who do not fall under the variance criteria. This does
not approve encroachments into ROWS.
Chairman Lewis opened the issue for comments from the public.
Jackie Russell came forward to ask if these amendments pertained to
future buildings, answer no, they refer to pre-existing cases only.

There being no further comments, the issue was brought back to the
Commission.
MOTION:
Commissioner Smalley moved approval of KMC14.20.185 adding new
section pertaining to encroachment permit, seconded by Commissioner
Osborne.
Commissioner Bryson used a scenario for question: if in the next
building season, a contractor builds a building which is in
violation, they will not be able to use this section to resolve
their problems, answer no. What is being constructed at the time
is not a pre-existing use. This body, at one time, had considered
penalties for construction violations, these are entirely different
situations.
VOTE:
Motion passed unanimously
b. Amend KMC14.20.145 by Adding New Section Pertaining to New
Townsite Historic Zone
Planning Specialist Loper explained that this section had been
placed on hold by the Council pending the approval of the Site Plan
Ordinance which is now in place. This section returns to the
Planning Commission due to the fact that there has been a request
to extend the boundaries of the proposed zone. The text of the
section remains the same. Certain members of the public feel that
such buildings as the Harbor View are between 40 and 50 years old
and should be included.
Commissioner Bryson stated: for the record I am part Amer in
property that is included in the zoning modification and unless
there is some objection, I will be voting on the issue. Chairman
Lewis felt there would be no objection.
Chairman Lewis opened the issue to the public.
Father Targonsky: have all property oAmers been notified? Answer
no, the code has a provision that any large zonings do not require
individual notification. Notices have appeared in the newspaper.
John Williams, appearing as resident of the city and property owner
in the area to be rezoned. Mr. Williams asked for detailed
explanation, it was provided. Mr. Williams explained that he had
approached this Commission about a year ago about a zoning change
and is glad that it is moving forward.
Jackie Russell asked if the newspaper was correct when they said no
more than duplex style residences are allowed, answer, the code
reads discouraged rather than prohibited.
Chairman Lewis returned the issue to the Commission.

MOTION:
Commissioner Osborne moved approval of KMC14.20.145 by adding the
new section, seconded by Commissioner O'Reilly.
Councilman Wise stated that he had a problem with the ordinance,
under item 4-c it forwards the plan to the Old Town Committee and
it should not. After approval and finalization that Committee will
be sunsetted. The Commission agreed and exchanged the word Old
Tarn cmuittee for Building official. The section will be amended
and passed on to the Council.
MOTION AMENDMENT:
Commissioner Bryson moved to amend the main motion by adding
correction to item c, removal of the words Old Town Committee and
replaced with Building Official, seconded by Commissioner Smalley.
VOTE AMENDED MOTION:
Motion passed unanimously.
VOTE MAIN MOTION:
Motion passed unanimously.
c. Amend KMC14.20.240 Pertaining to Mobile Homes and Adding
Verbiage Pertaining to Recreational Vehicles
Planning Specialist Loper explained that this is also by request of
the Commission. Several complaints had been received by private
individuals and public agencies of different types of vehicles
being used for living purposes in areas where they are
inappropriate. These revisions are placed with the intent of
helping those persons who do have complaints. These revisions are
not intended to interfere with the bona fide tourist who comes to
use campgrounds or any other area for a short time.
The Commission agreed to the addition of the words "recreation
vehicles" to all passages which currently exist with only the words
"mobile homes". The Commission asked for definitions of
recreational vehicles, this will be added under section 14.20.320.
The Commission discussed the verbiage of 14.20.242 with several
suggestions, none meeting with the satisfaction of the Commission.
*for the purpose of discussion, RV's will be defined as vehicles
designed for temporary or permanent habitation.
Chairman Lewis opened the issue to the public for comment.
Father Targonsky asked the Commission if this meant that the 30
days means you can have your mobile home on a site for 30 days then
move it to another location for another 30 days. Chairman Lewis
answered that the ordinance states anywhere in the city for less
than 30 days. Father Targonsky stated that a person could take it
out of the city for one day and return and be legal. Councilman
in
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
January 14, 1987

Wise answered that the ordinance could get very specific, but then
you have defeated the entire concept.
The Commission next discussed the 30 day clause. Commissioner
Smalley suggested, "no motor home, RV, etc., may be used as a
residence or sleeping quarters after it has been parked in the city
30 days". The Commission agreed that it would create triple
negatives, however, that is the idea.
Bill Brighton suggested that the canneries use that type of
arrangement and placing a 30 day limit on them would be
restrictive. Chairman Lewis answered that what this is for is only
a guideline to give the city the opportunity to do something about
those nuisances. Bill Brighton felt that the term nuisance can tie
yourself up and nullify what you are trying to do in the first
place. Planning Specialist Loper explained that this verbiage
comes from the Kodiak code and is workable there, further it is
placed under the zoning code rather than the police section of the
code so that the city would be more responsive to complaint than
outright enforcement. The Commission suggested a fee for areas
such as the canneries.
MOTION:
Commissioner Bryson moved to continue public hearing to the next
regularly scheduled meeting, seconded by Commissioner Osborne.
Commissioner Smalley asked if the item did not return to the
Commission from the attorney by the 28th, do we need to
readvertise, answer from Commission, yes.
VOTE:
Motion passed unanimously

a. Vacation Request for 66' of Section Line Easement Lying Within
and Adjacent to Lot 1, Angler's Acres S/D - McKechnie/Foster
Planning Specialist explained that this type of item usually comes
before the Commission and Council prior to Borough action, however,
in this case the City did not receive notification in time for the
Borough action which was denial. The applicant has requested the
item come before the City through an appeal process. It will be
handled as a normal vacation request, that is, the Commission will

review the issue and pass along a recommended to'the Council who
as Board of Appeal. The applicant supplied material
1
t==
will stand a
which were not brought out at the Borough level, which you now have
before you. The applicant felt the verbiage on the application
itself was worded badly. It uses terms which suggest restricting
;
the public access to the river, where this is not the case. The
j'
applicants wish to provide direct access in an orderly way and
include an easement for the drainage ditch.
Commissioner Smalley noted that the access would be provided,
#
however a fee would be involved. Planning Specialist Loper
explained that the applicants could do so without the vacation as
z` =
they own the property. The vacation would merely give them
r,
additional space for the project. Commissioner Bryson noted that
the wording says they are willing to provide access, however this
requests that public access be eliminated. It appears that this is
#
what the state also suggests in the letters provided.
Bill Brighton, City Manager spoke. It appears that the river study
committee was saying that there are not enough accesses to the
i
,t
Kenai River between the City boat ramp and Eagle Rock. They are
,r
"
encouraging additional accesses to the river. With that
recommendation, our Cunningham Park has a boat launch, if you can
[
carry your boat down, its not feasible to drive down and launch
}u
your boat. Therefore the City has been looking at it for either
`
restricting boat launching and leave it to fishing or providing
launching. During the fishing season that place is so crowded and
congested that it is not practical to provide boat launching
4
a,
without spending substantial amounts of money to upgrade. Council
s�
also considered a suggestion to go across Beaver Loop and acquire
f
'•".
real estate to provide parking because you couldn't possibly park
+
j
all those cars in that small park.
The Chamber of Commerce became involved through their boardwalk on
Bridge Access Rd. and it was suggested to them that if there was
i
some way private enterprise could undertake to build another boat
ramp or launch into that river it would help alleviate the
_
congestion and put a middle section between the City boat ramp and
Eagle Rock. From those conversations came this idea that you now
be
have before you. Most of the folks at the City felt this would
a great idea because the City is not going to be involved in
spending substantial sums in order to provide an additional boat
j
access to that river and encouraged this individual to pursue that
operation. Yes it will deprive the public from a free boat launch
because he is not going to expend that money that you must in
construction of a site such as this. At the present time, even
though the public has access you can't put a boat in down there.
It is impractical due to soils, the bank, etc. unless it is one
that you can pick up and carry. Therefore if he is going to expend
the money to build a reasonable boat launch, some of the folks at
the City felt this would be a good idea. I don't know how it got
-
in front of the Borough before coming to you, however, it did.

In conjunction with the boardwalk that the Chamber is promoting and
_V
T s
apparently is going to get built, they became involved in this
- }
t`
project also and are willing to lend a hand to this individual. Hey,.
came to us and we have attempted to make the road, from the
`
permitting standpoint, as easy as we possibly can, hoping that
if
eventually there will be another area along the river within the
J
City where individuals can launch their boat. You can launch your
r r9
boat at Eagle Rock, but not for free. The only free place in the
i
City, is the City boat ramp at the canneries and the City feels
that it might take a burden off their shoulders of trying to
acquire, pay for, and build another boat ramp in order to create
easier access to the river.
John Williams, I agree with City Manager Brighton for the need for
this type of facility, however, some of the things that bother me
V
is the statement to restrict public access through the properties
_
and help to maintain natural drainage. As you are well aware,
Congress set aside 66' easements along section lines for public
access. This is one of the only section lines that I can see that
would allow public access in the general vicinity. I am concerned
about the letter from the Alaska Dept. of Fish & Game in which they
state that they have plans to spend several million dollars on the
i
Kenai Peninsula for recreational access and has received inquiries
�.
from Kenai River property owners interested in selling property
which totals over $3 million. It does not appear to be in the best
interests of the state to vacate lands on the one hand and to spend"'
'
public funds to acquire lands on the other. I tend to agree with
-
that, you have a gentleman that says give me the land and I will
expend my own money, while on the other hand you have the state
saying that they will be spending money to acquire, however, we
C
will not be spending money. I feel that more material should be
-
reviewed, if he is going to charge for the launching, where the
drainage is, etc.
i
ti.
Planning Specialist Loper referred to the material submitted at the
meeting from the applicants and explained some detail. Mr.
Williams commented that there had been a similar situation where
the City had given land away for a large project and the City ended
t
up reclaiming those lands at a price of $125,000. I would
encourage the Commission to wait on a decision until full plans
have been submitted.
Councilman Wise indicated a desire to see an entire package brought
before the Commission feeling that the Borough had denied the
vacation due to the lack of such information. Commissioner Bryson
i
t
referred to the proposed boat ramp profile indicates a public boat
-
ramp which infers that there is no fee. In looking at the area
,
-
adjacent to the section line exists either as an easement or
j
undeveloped ROW. I would presume the property owner that has a deed
- - -
to that property has the right to use the property until it is
f
-
developed for access by the appropriate government. It appears
that he has plenty of room to be able to develop a boat ramp on
_
that lot. He could use the easement for other non -permanent
�'
facilities without a vacation. I am concerned with restricting
L
PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
January 14, 1987
Page 7
� foot access to the river under either circumstances. I would be
supportive of a private boat ramp in the area but not at the
expense of eliminating foot access. Chairman Lewis asked if there
was foot access at the present time, answer yes. Councilman Wise
stated that he was not aware there was a path there. Commissioner
Smalley stated that people have used the path for a long period of
time with Mr. McKechnie chasing them away.
Commissioner Smalley referred to the notation concerning the
drainage ditch and asked if the City were going to maintain it. I
believe they had to come before us before when they wanted to
deepen that drainage. Commissioner Bryson asked if the City would
be doing that man made water course as a part of the Angler Drive
project, it is unknown. Commissioner Osborne commented on the
letter from fish & game, it appears as though the letter had been
written by someone who had never viewed the site. Commissioner
Mishou commented that what it appeared to him was that the
individual was asking for the Commission to recommend approval of a
vacation which would allow a private individual to put in a boat
ramp and collect fees to further enhance his private business.
Commissioner Smalley referred to the letters submitted to the
Borough; ADF&G has suggested that all public access points to the
river should be maintained, Div. of Parks says the same thing.
Planning Specialist Loper referred to the Kenai River Study which
presents the concept that private individuals should be encouraged
to develop facilities along the river. Councilman Wise asked the
Commission to make some type of recommendation for the Council.
Several Commissioners stated that they would like to have the issue
postponed to the next meeting with additional material presented.
Councilman Wise stated it is immaterial. The only thing before you
tonight as in the case of the Borough is the vacation with the
retention of a 25' drainage easement.
MOTION:
Commissioner Smalley moved to recommend to the Council to uphold
the denial of the vacation of the 66' section line easement,
finding of fact; denial because specific criteria, which is
requested by the state agencies was not submitted referring to
denial of public access along a section line to the river, seconded
by Commissioner Mishou.
Commissioner Bryson stated for the record, during the public
hearing at the Borough there was one representative of the group
that petitioned for this vacation. After the submittal of the
state information, Mr. Foster indicated that he didn't care whether
or not the application was approved or not because his concern was
a 25' drainage easement was being maintained and that was his
primary interest at the time, he explained nothing about future
development in the area. There were no other individuals
commenting on it.
VOTE:
Motion passed unanimously.

recommend the submission of a complete operational plan and a fee

a. Amend Zoning Code: 14.25.010 and 14.25.020 Pertaining to
Landscapina/Site Plan Regulations
Planning Specialist Loper explained that this item comes from the
Review Board who, after working with the "new" site plan portion of
the ordinance felt that the verbiage still did not quite convey the
intent and went on to explain. Commissioners Bryson and Smalley
discussed the definition of the word new, stating that the

12. COMMISSION COMMENTS & QUESTIONS
Commissioner O'Reilly asked for length of terms. It shall be
provided.
Commissioner Bryson asked Council feeling on the application for
Tract F Dena' Ina and what changes go along with the removal of the
word "advisory". Councilman Wise answered that the Council
introduced an ordinance authorizing sale of Tract F and will be up
for public hearing next meeting. The word "advisory" was related
more to the Borough when it was formed years ago when you were
advisory to the Borough. The Council took it out because you do
have functions authorized by Council that are not advisory,
particularly with the -resumption of zoning powers. Technically
every group is advisory to the Council. It was one of the least
controversial issues we have had. Commissioner Smalley asked if
Parks & Rec had submitted comment on the use of that tract, answer
from Councilman Wise, Kayo McGillivray indicated that Commission
had no use. Commissioner Smalley noted that the Commission had not
met until last night, Councilman Wise answered that Kayo is
authorized to speak for that body.
13. ADJOURNMENT

MOTION:
Councilman Ackerly moved, seconded by Councilman Wise,
to approve the Consent Agenda as submitted.
Motion passed by unanimous consent.
B. PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE BEARD
B-1 John Sims, Usibelli Coal - Power Generation
Mr. Sims explained he had spoken at the Kenai Peninsula
Caucus Jan. 17. They view the Bradley Lake project as
not good. Mr. S.ms reviewed a letter he had sent to
the Legislature. He explained, he is president of the
Alaska Coal Assn., consisting of Usibelli, Diamond,
Mobile, Rocky Mountain Energy and others. The Railbelt
Energy fund has $282 Million, if the upgrade
is done, it will cost $200 Million. $82 Million would
not be sufficient to complete Bradley Lake. If Bradley
Lake is the economic star, it should have further
analysis. Without State subsidy, is it feasible?
would the rates attract customers? It is propped up by
massive State subsidy we cannot afford at this time.
This type of State involvement is detrimental to the
coal industry. The coal industry has a vital role to
serve in this State far into the future to energise the
State. Coal is an abundant resource to export to the
Pacific Rim countries. They have exported from Seward.
This year 100,000 to 150,000 metric tons to Taiwan. They have had
a

serious inquiries from Japan. These things are
happening in a depressed market. They have Alaska
resources and Alaska entrepreneurs serving the overseas
market. Yet there seems to be strong adverse
projections against coal in the State. We relate with
exporting but not to energize our own State. Part of
the blame is Alaska Power Authority, they lean on hydro
electric development. He is pursuing the concept that
if we participate in overseas markets we have to have a
strong commitment to coal. All the rival countries
have a strong domestic commitment. Alaska has 40% of
the entire nation's resource. A lot is in the Brooks
Range, a lot on the railroad. Alaska has 2/10 of 1% of
the nation's total produced. The coal industry does
not welcome State subsidy. The feel they can proceed
with state of the art at Healy which can and would
supply power at competitive rates through the rail
belt. Another exciting prospect is using Alaska coal
up -graded product. Alaska coal has a low heat quality,
the new technology involves drying and produces a
stable product. We end up with a dryer product and
extremely low sulfur content. it will have a premium
price. They would use that power plant for power and
use the steam in the coal processing facility. The
horizons for Alaska coal are unbounded if we use that.
This will take a minimum of 8 years to achieve. There
will be opportunities in the 1990's for 150-200
megawatts as legitimate increments in the rail belt if
they develop Diamond and Beluga. The cost of that with
state of the art technology and environmental
restrictions is $1,500 per installed kilowatt, or $225
Million. That is three times the available power
output of Bradley Lake. Bradley Lake is dependent on
State grant and subsidy. This would be a consortium of
the private sector. Councilman Wise noted Usibelli has
quality coal that is developable, they have the edge
over Beluga and Mat -Su. Mr. Sims replied, Usibelli's
long term tenure in the international market is more
tenuous should they be brought on line. They would
have a transportation problem, Beluga would not.
Usibelli's advantage is their property and equipment is
amortized, the capacity is in place. They can purchase
850,000 metric tons per year with present equipment.
He noted, coal mining is cost driven, not market
driven. The cost to produce is important. Councilman
McComsey asked how many people in Healy compared to
Bradley Lake? Mr. Sims replied Bradley Lake is an
attractive, short-lived construction bubble, after
which there is not much people -involvement. with coal
there would be about 80 permanent year round jobs for
the power plant. There would be more in the operating
staff. Healy was cited as having the highest per
capita income in the State on income tax returns. They
can deliver coal to the Railbelt at competitive prices.
Councilwoman Bailie asked if this was discussed at the
Bradley Lake hearings. Mr. Sim replied, this was not
discussed during the spending boom. He has responded
to many letters regarding Susitna. The Power Authority
was told they had not analyzed alternatives. He told
them of the adverse reactions to coal but has not had a
reply. He arranged a meeting with the Power Authority,
but was stood up. Councilman Ackerly asked about the
deliverable cost. Mr. Sims replied Bradley Lake will
depend on a subsidy. without a subsidy the cost will
be intolerable. Councilman Ackerly said he would like
assurances that this would go ahead if Bradley Lake did
not go. Mr. Sims replied, if Bradley Lake did not go,
it would be a consortium within the private sector.
Regarding a market, Alaska Power Authority projects

1.6% annual growth through the year 2000. They will
need 750 megawatts of new power generation within the
railbelt. He questions that, for the past 20 years the
demand has been 9t-10i. He estimates 1.4% growth over
the next 25 years. Australia is an example. In 1972
they exported 200,000 metric tons of coal, in 1966 the
figure was 48 Million metric tons. More than 50% was
to Japan. The Pacific Rim countries want diverse
sources. We are politically stable and have easy
transportation. Even without the new technology, the
attraction of coal is still there. The tests were done
in Montana, the next step is to secure matching funds
from DOE for commercial tests. Mayor Williams asked
that Mr. Sims keep the City informed.
B-2 Bob Schafer - Friendship Air - Insurance Minimum
Problems
Mr. Schafer explained he is requesting relaxation for
30 days of the current insurance requirements to allow
them into the Kenai airport. They have a turbo -power
DC-3. They have $4O0,000 per seat, $8 Million cap.
The City requires fi Million per seat. He introduced
Ken Sandy of Corroon 6 Black Insurance. He added, it
is not their intent to circumvent, they are willing to
meet these requirements. They have a time delay, but
hope to have it fixed within 30 days. Mr. Sandy
explained the London insurance market. It is not one
entity, there are over 200 syndicates in Lloyds. With
them are 100-150 private companies. Friendship Air
policy goes from May to May, it has to be cancelled.
The London broker has been working 2-1/2 weeks now.
There are 42 players in it now, they expect 50 when
they are done. The broker has to deal with each
underwriter. It will cost Friendship Air $30,000.
Atty. Rogers explained, the City may not be the final
determining factor. ERA and SouthCentral have met the
requirements. We would not be treating all carriers
the same. Also, the City has found the required
insurance to be the correct amount. Assuming the City
granted the concession, if there is a catastrophe,
there would be less than deemed sufficient.
Councilwoman Bailie noted the memo from Airport Manager
Ernst. Anchorage has the same as Kenai. Even if Kenai
relaxed their requirements, would they have a problem
in Anchorage? Mr. Schafer replied, they don't have the
same requirements in Anchorage. They reduced the
insurance on aircraft going to Kenai. Juneau, Kenai
and two others have this requirement. Airport Manager
Ernst explained, Anchorage has two different systems,
different amounts with different weights. It is still
$1 Million per seat with $10 Million cap.
Jack Birmingham, ERA Alaska. There are two issues. 1)
Proper protection for the City if the City had the only
"deep pocket." 2) Attempt to find proper balance that
would protect the passengers. $1 Million per seat was
accepted. Atty. Rogers asked if ERA policy was written
year to year. Mr. Birmingham replied, in most
instances they have a higher amount. Atty. Rogers
asked if he would be willing to lessen theirs if these
people were accommodated. Mr. Birmingham replied no,
they could not and would not.
Vern Lofstedt, SouthCentral Air. He noted the City of
Soldotna's experience with accidents. The City has
spent $300,000 in attorney fees defending the case. He
qW is involved because of "deep pockets." He suggested
Kenai contact their insurance agent regarding lowering
f
L
KENAI CITY COUNCIL

the rates. It will affect the rates. An accident that
took place three years ago with no serious injuries
recently had a $1.2 Million settlement.
Mayor Williams said Council would welcome Friendship
Air into the local market. But is is Council duty to
serve equally, . This cannot be tampered with to
accommodate certain people. There is a concern for
catastrophe during that period. He did not think it
was possible at this time to offer any change or
satisfaction to accommodate.
Council agreed with the statement.
B-3 Gary Martin - Marco Vending - Pepsi in Airport
At the time he submitted the letter requesting this, he
was unable to be here (Dec. 17, 1987). He asked for
reconsideration of the Council decision. They have
machines ready to put in with a bill devaluing device.
There is plenty of room for the machine. They can
generate money for the City leasing floor space.
Councilman Ackerly explained he told Mr. Martin to come
to Council to explain his request. Airport Manager
Ernst explained at the time the request was brought to
Council an individual wanted a concession stand in the
airport. Council did not want any further competition
in the airport. He recommended waiting for remodeling,
Council had agreed. He sent a letter to Mr. Martin at
the same time. Councilman Ackerly said he has concern
regarding limiting competition and looking at this as a
closed entity. There is room to accommodate but you
limit income. Councilman Measles said when we did the
renovation on the terminal we set up guidelines. At
that time it was Council feeling we would limit to one
of each type. We solicited RFP's and one was selected.
If one leaves, there would be room under the guidelines
to solicit RFP's. Otherwise we end up with a mess in
the terminal.
Council agreed to follow the Dec. 17, 1987 decision and
not allow additional machines.
B-4 Acceptance of Corporate Signatories to Lease - ERA
Atty. Rogers explained Council has previously deemed a
10K fora appropriate. These people are asking for
relief of the requirement of corporate signatures.
MOTION:
Councilman wise moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie,
to approve the request.
Motion passed by unanimous consent.

Councilwoman Bailie asked if communities are allowed to
retain, and if they will have to support. Also, has
Soldotna been asked to support this? Mayor Williams
replied, the cost will be by the State, not the
Borough. Soldotna has been asked. Some community
colleges feel they are not structured the same as
others and should not be treated the same. KPCC is one
of the most efficient in the State and the largest -
next to Anchorage. Councilwoman Bailie suggested we

till both have digested the material. Councilwoman
Bailie said she was concerned with the memos
distributed this date. She thought Council made
decisions. If there is heat, they take it. She has a
problem with Public Works opposing granting this. we
granted the right-of-way in 1983, reiterated it in Jan.
7. That was the method we wanted to pursue. Regarding
Atty. Rogers' memo, page 3. She thought we had a prior
commitment to granting of easement and we wanted to
take this route. Atty. Rogers replied, Courcil
directed Administration to find access, this or other.
City Manager Brighton agreed, explaining Administration
was to bring back alternates. That is the reason for
the Public Works memo. He asked if Council wanted
Administration to survey, plat and record the easement.
Atty. Rogers referred to a 1983 mesa from Land Manager
Labahn. Councilman Measles asked if the lots on Lawton
are platted. Answer - no. public works Director
Kornelis added, the paper work is done, he did not know
if the Borough portion is done. They planned to retain
all the lots for the golf course. Councilman Measles
noted the spaces look like an intended right-of-way for
Lawton. Mayor Williams reviewed the minutes of Jan. 7.
This was brought back because of Mr. Morgan's memo.
Public works Director Kornelis has documents outlining
the 3 road alternates. Atty. Rogers has prepared
documents indicating his right to not even offer to
lease. If the City chooses not to lease till
Candlelight is extended, Mr. Morgan has the right to
refuse or reject at that time. The main question is,
does the City want to pay for this and does the City
wish to pay for building alternate Y1 or t2.
Councilman wise noted there is a 3rd option,
negotiating with Mr. Morgan of extending Linwood down
the sand pit to Burnett's property. It would be less
cost and distance. We have dual commitments: 1) to
Morgans for the golf course (they have invested a great
deal of money. This would be more economically
viable), and 2) to Burnetts that was swept under the
crack. Had Mr. Morgan known of the easement, the
course could have been designed around it. Now we are
obliged to honor both requirements and should look at
all alternatives. Councilman Measles said some where
back in the last 3 years, at some point Council did
tell Mrs. Burnett they would have use of that easement
with stipulation the building of the road would be at
their cost. At one point in the discussion with Mr.
Morgan, he was made aware of the possible easement.
Mayor Williams noted the memos from Land Manager
Labahn. Atty. Rogers added, Aug. 24, 1983, Land
Manager Labahn sent a memo to City Manager Brighton and
Atty. Rogers discussing Ord. 8".0-83. He noted 2
methods of implementing and recommended Burnetts incur
the cost of survey. The City shall not assume cost, an
estimated $3,000. This matter was made known to Mr.
Morgan. Council had a work session regarding the golf
course. It may not be on record. The language in the
lease says property is as -is, subject to easements of
record and indemnification clause. The lease was a
joint document. After the RFP, Mr. Morgan was not
satisfied with the document. He was the only bidder.
Atty. Rogers was instructed to re -draft with Mr.
Morgan, his attorney and himself. The rights of Mr.
Morgan consist of the right of 1st refusal. He would
be taking the property as it exists when he signed.
There was some misinformation that the property was
already under lease, that is not the case. Mayor
Williams said Council has to answer which alternate
method. If we use Candlelight Dr., we can ask the
C>•

lessee to accept the land with Candlelight through and
design around Candlelight as best he can. It will be i
substantial less cost to the City than alternates fi,
82 and 83 (from Councilman Wise). City Manager i
Brighton said, regarding alternate i3, the day after k
the Jan. 7 Council meeting, Mr. Morgan came into Mr. k
Brighton's office. From his standpoint there was no
leniency as far as Candlelight was concerned. It had
to go. Before the discussion was over, he said if
there could be some exchange of land so he could
redesign the golf course and utilize Burnett's
property. Mr. Brighton suggested he contact his
architect to prepare. Burnetts own - fee simple - the
land he is talking about. We own the land it would go
through that has to be used for parks. Mayor Williams
suggested it could be exchanged. Mr. Brighton replied
it could be done. The simple and most logical way t.
without liability is to perfect easement on
Candlelight. Councilman Ackerly said he would not vote
to appropriate money to build a road. We can offer
them as we did in 1983, a way to get to their property.
Mayor Williams said Atty. Rogers has said the Burnett
property does not have much value compared to other
lands. The City has chosen to reserve 21 lots on
Candlelight and 16 on Lawton. We might be able to
trade these for the Burnett property. He suggested
shelving action on this till we can get all people here
for a work session. Councilwoman Bailie suggested Mr.
Morgan is interested in getting started this SprinS.
She suggested a representative for Mr. Morgan come to
the work session. Mayor Williams noted it may be worth
the plane ticket for Mr. Morgan to come. City Manager
Brighton noted lots 1 through 13 and 2 through 6 on the
left. They are not available till the City makes a
trade with Dept. of Interior for like amount of equal
real estate. Lots 1 through 16 and lots 7 & 8 on the
right can be traded. Councilman Ackerly suggested the
City appraise and trade off. Mr. Brighton noted it has
not been broached to the Burnetts. Mayor Williams
noted the value of the lots is $60,000. Atty. Rogers
noted we will need an appraisal. He added there is
also an impetus for development then. Councilman wise
said Linwood Extended has a road to Candlelight
Extended. It was used when sand was excavated. It
exists, it could serve as access. Mayor Williams asked
that a meeting be arranged as soon as possible, and
request Mr. Morgan come in early for the meeting.
Councilman Ackerly asked that both memos be sent to k
Burnetts and Morgans. t[
H-11 Disc. - Kenai Borough Resource Development Commission -
Appointment of City Representative fi
Mayor Williams noted the Resource Development
Commission has been operating illegally because of the
Sunset Laws. It has been resurrected. Les Vierra has
represented the City. Councilman Ackerly noted we have
never had a report. Mayor Williams stated if Mr.
Vierra is City representative he will report.
Councilwoman Bailie suggested Vince O'Reilly. Mayor k
Williams said he will review and report back to

a. He distributed copies of the brochure regarding
off -road vehicles. Jan. 24 the Kenai Police Dept•
will participate in a Community Schools program in
Nikiski regarding this• The brochures will go out
in February or March.
b. Regarding the -memo to Gov. Cowper distributed this
date (item I-3). This refers to Bradley Lake. He
did not sign page 3 because Council did not take
any action. Most people are connected with HEA,
MEA, Mat -Su Power, Anchorage Mayor, etc. Homer,
Kenai, Soldotna did not sign. The meeting was
also to discuss rail belt cuts. Anchorage Mayor
Knowles called this the "Fairness Test" for
grants. I£ the State cuts 20%, we should be
willing to take 2O% cut in municipal assistance,
revenue sharing, school bond indebtedness, school
funding. Everyone in the room subscribed.
Soldotna Mayor Farnsworth said she would not sign
because the Borough Caucus has made school bond
funding their 91 priority. She persisted, saying
we want 80% of school bond indebtedness even if
you eliminate revenue sharing and municipal
assistance. The subject is scheduled for the Jan.
31 meeting at the Borough. One mill in the city
is $300,000, in the Borough it is $3 Million. If
they cut a percentage we have to raise levies
higher than the Borough does. What was proposed
is fair, everybody is cut 20%. But to cut us 40%
and schools 10% is tragic for the taxpayers.
Seward and Homer agree. He will presenting these
views at the Jan. 31 meeting. It is their
problem, they created it. Why ask us to solve it
for them? Councilwoman Bailie noted there was
supposed to be unanimous vote to approve. Mr.
Brighton replied the By -Laws say that.
Councilwoman Bailie said it should be brought back
to the Councils before passing. Councilman
Mccomsey said it is an 11 member board, all have
to agree. He added they are going to ask for 5.20
per capita dues, $25 from the chambers. They want
1-1/2 year's dues. Councilwoman Bailie asked,
what is the money for? Councilman McComsey
replied, postage and supplies.

economical. Bradley Lake facility cannot reach
the magnitude of product anticipated. Can we
afford it or do we need it? 15i increase in rates
for a new turbine that site idle. It will cost
$92 Million to abandon Bradley Lake project.
Councilman Mccomsey noted they have $43.6 Million
in it now. He thought that was inflated.
Councilman Measles explained, that is to buy off
contracts. Mayor Williams the question is do we
go for $90 Million and get out, or let coal go on
their own.
e. Water problems across the City are showing dirt in
the water. Is this seasonal? Public Works
Director Kornelis said this is the first he has
heard of it. He has heard complaints regarding
the smell. The City tests every Monday for
sanitation. Mayor Williams asked what it would
take to test for turbidity. Mr. Kornelis replied
it could be done at the well house.
f. Having voted for the off -road vehicle ordinance,
Mayor Williams said he did not have a feeling for
the ordinance. It eliminates in entirety the use
of off -road vehicles in the City. Before snow
machines had an opportunity to ride at the side of
the road, now they cannot. Snow machines have to
be put on a trailer, taken to a designated spot
and then used. The City is a vast land area. On
Candlelight he is in the hinterlands. The land is
good for snow machines. He suggested allowing
snow machines in RR areas and places not densely
populated. He will present an amendment to the
ordinance regarding this. Police Chief Ross
explained, the ordinance does not ban the use of
off -road vehicles in Kenai. It does state they
cannot be used in rights of way that are improved.
Any area seeded, landscaped, improved with
sidewalks is barred. The original ordinance was
to ban all use. He met with the Beautification
Committee, this ordinance is a compromise. They
are in effect banned from down town area. Mayor
Williams said we are dealing with types of
off -road vehicles. Snow machines do not have as
great an effect when we have snow. The primary
effect is noise. Chief Ross said it does not
matter what kind of vehicle, it destroys terrain.
The old ordinance allowed use in rights of way.
We only designate where you cannot use them.
a.(contd) Regarding Kenai Borough Caucus dues.
Councilman Measles said if we are not going with
the Caucus the other 10 may make decisions that
affect us. Councilman wise asked if they are
asking for money up front. Answer - yes.
Councilman Wise suggested payment in 6 month
increments. Councilman Ackerly suggested we ask
them the reason for the amount. Councilman
McComsey said the administrative costs and
communication cost have been paid by the Borough
and Soldotna. They want to share the expenses.
They are working on a budget. 24ayor Williams
suggested the City pay 6 month's dues pending a
budget proposal.
Council agreed to the suggestion.
g. Councilwoman Bailie asked if more people could be
appointed to the Beautification Committee. There
were only 3 at the last meeting. A student has
been appointed, and the meeting time has been
changed to 1:30. Mayor Williams replied 2

f. Councilman Ackerly. some time ago he distributed
some material regarding coal generation. He will
distribute it again.
g. Councilman McComsey. Regarding the Kenai
Peninsula Borough Caucus. They want a directive
regarding Frontier Training Center (Info 19). The
State has cut $90,000 from the budget. They asked
if we would support a resolution to the Governor
to get it back. Also, are we going to support
Bradley Lake or say nothing? Mayor Williams
asked, what were their comments regarding the gas
pipeline? Councilman McComsey replied it will be
discussed at the Jan. 31 meeting. Councilwoman
Bailie said she thought Bradley Lake was the top
priority. Has school funding ever been discussed?
Councilman McComsey replied no. He noted the
training center is a worthwhile project. City
Manager Brighton noted Council has had resolutions
at every meeting recently to support continued
funding from the State. He wondered if there
would be resolutions in support of revenue sharing
and municipal assistance. They will have to cut
something. Councilman McComsey explained, the
reason this would be worth funding is, this is
only a small portion of what they get. They keep
handicapped students from going to the Valdez
Center. It costs $50,000 to send a person to
Valdez, $10,000 at the Frontier Training Center.
They train in laundry and other work places.
a.(contd) Councilman Wise suggested the Economic
Development Committee look into the free trade
zone idea.
h. City Manager Brighton noted a group has gone to
Washington D.C. regarding a port of entry. What
happened? Mayor Williams replied, there was no
response.
a.(contd) Mayor Williams suggested the free trade zone
idea be investigated by the Airport Commission
after it is formed.
c.(contd) Mayor Williams. Regarding Anchorage as a
fish processing center. We could have a large
storage area here. The nearest place is Seattle.
We could warehouse here and freight to Pacific
countries. He will ask the Harbor Commission and
Economic Development Committee to review this. we
cannot get bonding for industrial development, we i
will have to investigate other areas of funding.

Dear Mayor Wagoner:
The Assembly of the City and Borough of
Sitka, as well as it's citizens feel the Alaska Public
Safety Academy located in Sitka serves the entire
State of Alaska. This service not only includes
training for those in law enforcement retained by the
state and it's communities, but also those in law
enforcement of our federal agencies. The academy has
also trained residents of United States possessions.
The facility is unique in that it serves a
04 diverse populace and is the only such training ground
open to the entire state. The cost of sending
potential law enforcement personnel out of state would
be prohibitive and undoubtedly lead to under trained
people.
Toward this end, the Assembly of the City and
Borough of Sitka adopted Resolution 87-330 urging the
State to continue to maintain the Alaska Public Safety
Academy in Sitka at its present strength and to
continue to provide the same excellent services to the
people of the State of Alaska.
Since time is of the essence, I ask for your
support in sending a resolution of your own to
Governor Cowper, Commissioner of Public Safety Nix,
and your legislators and anyone else you feel should
be aware of the importance of the Public Safety
Academy at Sitka.
Sincerely yours,
U L et, l C2rkt—

Dear William:
Thanks for writing to inform me of your concern about
the problems you have had in finding a source of funding to
move the FAA antenna towers situated on city -owned property
in Kenai. I have contacted the Federal Aviation
Administration on your behalf for their comments on this
funding issue.
Thanks for bringing your concerns to my attention.
I'm glad to be of assistance.

MEMO TO: Kenai City Council
FROM: Charles A. Brown, Finance Director e4?4
DRTS: January 27, 1987
SUBJECT: Annual Audit
If�
On January 9, 1987, the
City received
six proposals for audit
services
for the three fiscal years ending June
30, 1987,
1988, and 1989.
He asked for prices for
each of the three years.
They were:
FYE 187
FYE 188
FYE 189
Total
Peat, Marwick, Mitchell $ 15,000
$ 16,000
$ 17,000

75,250
In order to put the annual audit costs in perspective, it might be
useful to know that we spent $22,500 for the 1985-86 audit. I
contacted six cities in Alaska (Palmer, Soldotna, Homer, Seward,
Kotzebue, and Wrangell) and asked what they paid for their last annual
audit. They ranged from $20,000 to $45,000, and averaged about
$29,000.
I believe all of these firms are capable of performing the audits for
the City. However, it would seem that we should limit our consider-
ation to the first two listed above based upon the significant cost
difference between those two and the other four.
After a review of their proposals, I offer the following summary of my
opinion of the strengths and weaknesses of each of the two firms.
Peat, Marwick, Mitchell
This firm is the City's current auditor. They have audited the City
for the past six years, and nine of the past twelve years. The audit
staff is located in Anchorage. The partner, manager, and in -charge
accountant scheduled to be assigned to the City's audit all have
worked on this audit for several years. They have a good under-
standing of City practices and procedures. Therefore, City staff time
and effort during the audit will be kept to a minimum. In my opinion,
Peat, Marwick, Mitchell has always provided excellent audit services
in the past.
Peat, Marwick, Mitchell's proposal is $1,500 less than the next higher
proposal. In addition, there is a small savings based upon the time
value of money; the first year is $2,500 less. (This "cost of money"
savings is about $300.)
Peat, Marwick, Mitchell is a multinational accounting firm; perhaps
the world's largest. As such, they have extensive resources to draw
upon, including a governmental research department in New York.
�f
fV
L
Mikunda, Cottrell
This firm's main office is in Anchorage. They also have an office in
Kenai. Their proposal indicates that most of the audit would be
conducted by personnel from the Anchorage office, with involvement by
the manager of the Kenai office. Partner, manager, and in -charge
experience in municipal audits appears to be very good. I have known
several of the individuals scheduled to be assigned to this audit for
many years; I have no doubt that Mikunda, Cottrell would perform
quality audits. e
I contacted three municipalities that have, or recently have had,
Mikunda, Cottrell as their auditors. All three gave excellent
references.
I see two drawbacks to the selection of this firm. The first is cost;
$1,500 more over the three years. The second has nothing to do with
Mikunda, Cottrell, but deals with changing auditors. Any new audit
firm cannot be expected to have as good an understanding of the City
as the current auditors have. The City will spend extra time
explaining our procedures to any new firm. We will also be expected
to help develop what is called a "permanent file". This essentially
consists of copies of bond covenants; finance, budget, personnel, land
disposal, and other ordinances directing City operations; investment
authority and procedures; etc. The current auditors already have this
permanent file. The extra effort by City personnel will take time
(and, therefore, money).
Summary
Peat, Marwick, Mitchell will cost the City less money (in a time of
falling revenues). Their selection will cause less work for me and
my staff. I am tempted to give some degree of preference to Mikunda,
Cottrell based upon the location of their Kenai office. But, from an
operational standpoint, I see no advantage to the Finance Department
of the selection of Mikunda, Cottrell due to their Kenai office. I
very rarely consult our auditors on technical matters. When I do,
it's a matter of a phone call (this would probably be true whether I
call Anchorage or Kenai). The Council will have to decide for itself
the value of their Kenai office.
The City's auditors work for the Council. They audit the administra-
tion. It is not appropriate for me to select the auditors for you.
Either of these two firms, Peat, Marwick, Mitchell or Mikunda,
Cottrell, should provide excellent service to the Council.
The Council should, by motion, select one firm as our auditors for the
next three years. The two firms in question will be provided with
copies of this memo, and will be asked to have representatives at the
February 4th Council meeting.

Dear Mr. Rogers:
This letter follows our conversation of Monday, January 26,
1987, in which we discussed the intent of the Federal Savings and
Loan Insurance Corporation, as receiver for Peninsula Savings and
Loan Association (•FSLIC*), the lessee of the above -referenced
lease, to obtain the consent of the city of Kenai, as lessor, for
an assignment of that lease. As we discussed, FSLIC is in the
process of closing a sale of the building and an assignment of
its leasehold interest to Alaska U.S.A. Federal Credit Union.
The closing is scheduled for February 28, 1987.
Pursuant to our conversation, enclosed is an original,
unexecuted assignment of lease in substantially the form to be
executed at the closing of the sale of the building and leasehold
interest now held by FSLIC. We understand that, assuming the
enclosed assignment meets with your approval, you will bring it
before the Kenai City Council at the council's meeting scheduled
for Wednesday, February 4, 1987, with the intent of obtaining the
approval and consent of the city of Kenai to the assignment.
If the assignment of lease is approved at the February 4
meeting, please send us a copy of the consent to assignment
executed by the city of Kenai for our records. If you have any

TELEPHONE 283.7535
TO: Wm. J. Brighton, City Manager FROM: Keith Kornelis, Public Works Director 6e��
DATE: January 26, 1987
SUBJECT: COMMERCIAL USE OF CITY OF KENAI DEWATERED SLUDGE
Ken Siirila, the City's Sewer Treatment Plant Operator, has
informed me that Councilwoman Sallie Bailie requested some
information concerning the commercial use of our dewatered
sludge.
Mr. Siirila has discovered the following:
1. Liability insurance would be very expensive.
2. Commercial use was tried but it failed in Toledo, Ohio.
They no longer sell sludge.
3. Milwaukee, Wisconsin has sold Milorganite (sludge) for
40 years but has never made any money on it. They have
a huge plant and are also heavily into research which
may be why they are continuing.
4. It would cost approximately $600 per month for the
necessary Lab testing to assure that there are no
pathogens in the sludge.
5. Fairbanks has the same permit as Kenai - Agricultural
.use only. They also use drying beds that dry out the
sludge completely.
According to Mr. Siirila's investigation, there is no real
commercial value to our dewatered sludge.
Public Works is presently working on the individual ADEC permit
which, if granted, will allow us to use the dewatered sludge on
the Airport. We already have a general permit for sludge use
from our Sewer Treatment Plant.
Knowing that you wish to be kept informed of items concerning the
City, I have addressed this memo to you and sent a copy to
Councilwoman Bailie. I have also requested a copy to be included
in the February 4, 1987, Council packet.

SUBJECT: KENAI BOATING FACILITY
The City of Kenai is presently building a boating facility next
to the existing Kenai boat ramp on the Kenai River near the
mouth. This facility will include a 36' x 170' dock and a 16' x
200' approach trestle. The facility will include a fueling
facility with gas and diesel; dock lighting; a repair grid;
limited short-term parking for cars, trucks, boats, trailers,
etc.; restroom facilities; on site well and well house (for wash
down and restroom); one unloading crane; a septic holding tank; a
waste oil disposal tank; trash or refuse containers; the existing
boat launching ramp and float facility; proper signing; access
road and parking lot; a dock office; telephones; gabions for
erosion protection, etc.
The City of Kenai is presently under contract with Western Marine
Construction Inc. for the contract sum of $1,565,500 for
completion of this boating facility. At this point we are
approximately 16% complete including stored materials. The
concrete dock will be set on piles that consist mostly of 24" x
1/2" main piles, except for four ice cutting piles that will be
30" x 1/2". The dock will also be protected by fender piles that
will be 12" x 1/2". The project has been designed to be
structurally sound, sturdy, and basic. We have concentrated on
building a low maintenance facility and on providing vandal -proof
fixtures where possible.
The project completion date has been set at June 15, 1987, for
the basic dock trestle, erosion protection, parking, etc. The
contract completion date for the alternates has been set for July
30, 1987. These alternates include the fueling facility, crane,
restrooms, septic tank, landscaping, and repair grid.

The Kenai Harbor Commission meets on the first and third Thursday
of each month. At their last meeting of January 15, 1987, I was
asked to write each of the sea food processors in this area,
requesting their input concerning the new Kenai Boat Facility.
Please respond in writing as soon as possible to the following
Kenai Harbor Commission inquiries:
1. Please make some comments and/or proposals as to how
you would like to see the Kenai Boating Facility/Dock
utilized.
2. Will your firm be utilizing this facility once it is
complete?
3. Please provide any comments, problems, solutions,
and/or suggestions for changes, additions, deletions,
to this facility.
The Kenai Harbor Commission meetings are open to the public and
the commission members welcome and encourage participation in
their meetings. The City of Kenai would like to encourage you to
attend, and provide some input on how to help improve this needed
facility.

that no construction delays occur; and

and
WHEREAS, a plan should be considered ;hereby the Railbelt
Energy Funds spent for transmission interties, the Bradley Lake

be recovered to enable future Railbt�?t energy project
development. Affordability to the ratepayers is the key to any
capital recovery plan; and
WHEREAS, as a means of meeting the Railbelt's future energy
needs, development of coal and natural gas based generation,
conservation, and hydro power should be considered;

KENAI PENINSULA CAUCUS
RESOLUTION 87-2
!Introduced by 1.*&h Robinson, ,coldotna City Council)
A RESOLUTION CONCERNING THE BRADLEY LAKE HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT
AN1L THE PROPOSED RAILBELT AREA ELECTPICAL TRANSMISSION INTERTIES
WHEREAS, the Alaska State Legislature has, in past years, appropriated
monies that now total $282 million to the Railbelt Energy Fund for the
generation and distribution of electrical power throughout the Railbelt; and,
1WHEREAS, the Legislature has also appropriated $168 million to the Bradley
Lake Hydroelectric Project, of which $50 million has been ,irnpounded" due
to the State's declining oil revenues; and,
WHEREAS, the Bradley Lake Project is currently about $100 miilion short of
promised cash grant appropriations from the State of Alaska; and,
be
WHEREAS, it is reported that na a $ 0 mill
homer Eon tric in connectionnw h11 the
required to borrow an add
Bradley Lake Project to construct an an electrical transmission line
between Homer and Soldotna; and,
WHEREAS, some of this area's largest electrical customers, representing
more than 25 percent of Homer Electric's revenues, are considering plans to
generate their own power in reaction to recent rate increases; and,
WHEREAS, an agreement in principle has been reached by all seven Railbelt
utilities, which collectively serve more than 75 percent of the State's
population, to support a regional power development program, which would
require $218 million of grant funding for Bradley Lake and to use the
Railbelt Energy Fund for construction of transmission interties between the
Kenai Peninsula, Anchorage and Fairbanks; and,
WHEREAS, there are important public policy questions whether Homer
Electric Association's ratepayers can afford more debt and higher electric
rates and whether the remaining $100 million needed for Bradley Lake can
be financed in cash from the State's General Fund; and,
WHEREAS, there is now both an excess of electrical generation capacity in
all areas and a need for lower priced power in some areas of the Railbelt;
and,
WHEREAS, upgraded transmission intertie systems would enable each
utility within the Railbelt to share electrical power and, thereby, avoid
duplication of capital investment for power generation- and,
41
Resolution 87-2 Kenai Peninsula Caucus
WHEREAS, upgraded interties would enable mutually beneficial
arrangements between the utilities wheresby Fairbanks area utilitieb could
buy less expensive gas generated power from the Kenai and Anchorage
areas; and,
WHEREAS, upgraded interties would enable natural gas, coal or alternative
technology electrical generat.-on projects to be brought on line in increments
•
less expensive than Bradley Lake as justified by growth in demand; and,
WHEREAS, this Railbelt transmission systern has broad support among labor
and government leaders, Clambers of Comm arce, the Alaska coal industry,
and others; and,
WHEREAS, funding of the Bradley Lake Dam Project is at a critical juncture;
and,
WHEn---AS, it has become obvious that the upgraded intertie systems are
more im-ortant to the well being of the Railbelt's electrical consumers than.
the costs and risks incidental to continued construction at Bradley Lake
pursuant to the current financing plan; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE KENAI PENI14SULA
CAUCUS:
Section —1: We support using the Railbelt Energy Fund for financing
electrical transmission interties between the Kenai Peninsula, Anchorage
and Fairbanks. In addition to the lines which have been proposed by the
area utilities, we believe the transmission line between Soldotna and Homer
should also qualify for funding from the Railbelt Energy Fund.
Section I. We believe the final power sales agreements for Bradley Lake
should be equal in form to the agreements made for the Four Dam Pool so
that the early year cost of the hydro power will be equal or lower than
alternative means of electrical generation. The present financing plan for
borrowing up to an additional $175 million for construction is projected to
make the hydro power more expensive than gas in the early years and
requires substantially more risks to the area's ratepayers in the event of

Resolution 87-2 Kenai Peninsula caucus
Section 3. if it is perceived necessary to offer a "take or pay, come hell or.
high water pledge" as security for the APA's Revenue Bonds, we believe the
question of continued stage funding for Bradley Lake should be contingent
upon a favorable Railbelt-wide referendum of the area's ratepayers, just
as the State or any Municipality would be required to seek voter
ratification for its Gereral Obligation Bonds.
Section 4. We encourage decision makers to look more closely at the costs
f y
and benefits of alternative maans of electrical generation. We should not
disregard the economic impacts of jobs associated with the present use and
future development of gas, coal and alternative generation resources.
ADOPTED this day of , 1987 at a meeting of the Board of

Directors held in Alaska.

U`�
Dear Nomuras
This is the first of the weekly Bulletins which will be sailed every Friday during the Session. The
"Lagislative Bulletins" are produced as a service of the AML for its membership. The Bulletins are designed
to keep our membership informed on legislative issues and events both in Juneau and in Washington, D.C. so
that municipal officials will assist the AML Board, Legislative Committee, staff and your fellow officials
represent the needs and concerns of local governments.
The staff will limit +the Bulletin to reviews of bills and actions which directly affect the League and its
members based on, in rank order, AML Board priorities, the AML Policy Statement, and, finally, general
municipal impact.
The Bulletins are sent to municipal and Associate members, only. As with most AML publications, the request -
ad number of copies are cant to a designated individual for internal distribution. Since this is the only
way we bow of giving you our candid opinion on legislative issues, we would appreciate your treating than
material accordingly. The information is intended to be timely; therefore, we hope you will read the infor-
mation thoroughly and quickly, and follow-up accordingly.- Please respond immediately to requests for action
and information. Remember personal and frequent contact with your legislators and, especially, key committee
sabers is the most effective; public opinion massages, less so; and resolutions, the least. Please sand the
AML staff copies of written communications you have with the administration or legislators on AML Issues.
i Forgets The "Legislative Bulletin" announces bills, committee meetings/hearings, committee and floor action.
A bill is briefly described when it is first carried in the Bulletin after introduction. in subsequent
Bulletins, the bill is referred to by short title only. Please keep past bulletins for reference. An index
will be sent out periodically.
When the Legislature is in Session, the "Legislative Bulletin" is the major AML communication mechanism. The
AML Newsletter and special Bulletins will only be published on a "time available" or "as needed" basis.
General AML information such as meetings, position vacancies etc. will be included in the Bulletin during the
session.

Attention: Keith Kornelis
Subject: Inlet Woods
Keith,
We received the attached letter from Doyle Construction Co. this morning,
January 28, 1987, concerning his claim for extra compensation for work done
on the subject project. We are in the process of formulating a response to
his allegations and would like clarification from the City concerning items
8 and 9. We will be reviewing our documentation of the project and will be
awaiting your direction as to proper response to items 8 and 9. We have
responded to Mr. Doyle requesting backup documentation concerning items
1 thru 10 and a breakdown of the claim of $115,000.00.
If you have any questions, please contact me at your earliest convenience.
Very truly yours,

Re: Inlet Woods Subdivision
The above referenced project is finally complete. The repair to the luminaires
has been taken care of by our Subcontractor, City Electric.
Our work has been completed by Contract, and the only portion remaining at this
time is for us to continue with the proceedings for the 'Extra Work' on this
Project and the 'Delays' caused by the Owner. You have received correspondence
from our office and acknowledged our right to claim for this extra work and the
delays. Our 'Claim' is based on poor co-operation by the Owner to co-ordinate
the Utility Companies with the work of Doyle Construction. We attempted to sche-
dule our work with the Utility Companies and found ourselves unable to do so, as
the Utility Companies had no contract to do any work on this Project on Phase II.
Further, to aggrevate the situation, we were unable to follow our Progress Schedule,
due to the Utility Companies not adhering to their schedules.
We provided the Owner with a 'Progress Schedule' and had informed the Owner of our
intent at the Pre -construction Meeting. This Progress Schedule was accepted by the
Owner. We are claiming for the Extra Work on Phase I for restoration of the Back
Slopes, and for the Delays caused by the Utility Companies in their not being able
to complete their work in a 'Timely Manner'.
We are claiming for the following:
1. For 'Extra Work' on Phase I for restoration of Back Slopes.
2. For the Utility Companies contaminating our streets causing us to go back in
and clean up the Streets.
3. For the Utility Company's destroying our Slope Stakes, and the Owner refusing
to replace them. This caused our Company many extra hours and delay.
4. For McLanes intentionally waiting until we had our Subgrade finished, before
adding extra services. This was done two different times.
5. For our Company having to clean up after Home Builders and having to replace
L
Page 1 of 2
Wince-Corthell-Bryson A\OV
January 23, 1987 IN,
Page 2 of 2
'Service Markers' which they removed and not replace.
6. For the Compaction which the Utility Cb panies were not made to do on their
ditches on Phase I.
7. For the Delays caused by the Utility Companies not being able to complete
their work in a 'Timely Manner'.
• 8. For the Delays caused by the Owner on Phase II, by not attending to the
Utility Companies' Contracts to do work on Phase II, as per our request
at the Pre -Construction Meeting. The Pre -Construction Meeting was held
in the last part of June, 1985. The Owner had neglected to negotiate
a Contract with the Utility Company, Enstar Natural Gas, until the first
part of October 1985, which was not 'Timely'. This negligant action put
Doyle Construction Company in a bad position as we were doing 'Final
Preparation' for paving and the Owner had to shut us down.
9. For the Owner failing to apply for power for the Luminaires in a 'Timely
Manner'. This action made it impossible for us to test our lights and
several lights were damaged by Vandals while awaiting power. The Owner,
furthermore, failed to purchase 'Builders Risk Insurance' as per Contract
and put the burden to repair these lights on Doyle Construction. This
created numerous problems for us in ordering materials and co-ordinating
these repairs.
10. For the delays which resulted in extending our Contract with the Owner
by numerous days for our crew and by months for our Office Staff. Our
problem with the three Utility Companies, Enstar Natural Gas, Homer Electric
and Glacier State Telephone Company was not anticipated by our Company.
We are claiming for the amount of $115,000.00 for all the Work and the Delays
including the Repairs to the Luminaires, Back Slopes, and the Extension of Contract
by Owner caused by delays on Phase I and Phase II.
We would like a 'Timely Response' to this letter. Thank you.

Assemblymember Nash asked Atty. Boedeker what he would anticipate as

the land for lease or sale. Atty. Boedeker said he hadn't analyzed
the situation but estimated a minimal cost of $10,000--S15,000 with a

Atty. Boedeker said the complication in these proceedings was not

Assemblymember Nash said he submitted the ordinance for two (2)
reasons: 1) the present Code didn't specify format of resolutions or

L. CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTIONS
(a) Res. 86-146 "Urging the Alaska Legislature to Amend
the Mun c pal Taxation Laws to Provide the Same
Assessment from Time of Purchase Until the Property
Is Sold" (McGahan)
ASSEMBLYMEMBER MC GAHAN MOVED ADOPTION OF RES. 86-146.
Finance Chairman Crawford stated the committee recommended "do not
pass".
DustyRhoads Brown's Lake Funny River Road, believed the idea
eaerve co sideration. He noted while some individuals wished to
hold onto larger pieces of land, adjacent neighbors subdivide and as
a result through the assessing process and fair market value process
the large landowner's taxes increase.
Assemblymember McGahan felt the idea had merit and noted was done i
several other states. She said one of the possibilities would be not
having to have an assessing department. She said one individual
would check records as to value of property sold which would be
designated as fair market value. She said oftentimes comparable
sales are "way off".
ASSEMBLYMEMBER MC GAHAN MOVED TO AMEND THE TITLE, LINE 2, ADD: "LAWS
TO GIVE THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS THE OPTION OF PROVIDING" : SECTION 1.,

Assemblymember McGahan said it was true this would cut the taxes
received by the borough but then the mill rate could be raised. She
felt would be a more honest way to do this, although she felt there
still were many expenses which could be cut.
THE MC GAHAN AMENDMENT WAS ADOPTED BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT.

Y f
!,"_ !.
.. s_
Assemblymember Keene stated the problem he saw with the resolution
was in determining the selling price for assessment as there was no
mechanism either in State or local law to determine disclosure of
cost when property is sold. Also he noted property is transferred as
a gift or inheritance and how would one assess the evaluation on the
selling price. He asked Assemblymember McGahan if she were asking
the legislature at the time of sale to do one assessment and then
carry that assessment through regardless of the selling price.
Assemblymember McGahan said she hadn't considered this problem but
she knew assessors now have a comparable sale amount.
Assemblymember Keene questioned the "based on the selling price" as
there was no mechanism to determine that amount. He said it could be
assessed at the time of sale but couldn't guarantee the price was
accurate.. i.e. if an individual came to the borough and stated
they'd paid $10 for land worth a million, is that then the selling
price.
Assemblymember McGahan said she assumed the assessors get the
comparable sales from records somewhere. Mayor Thompson said they
get the information from the Recorders Office when available. She
said she assumed then the only time it wouldn't be available was on a
cash sale. Assessor Thomas advised when property changes hands, the
assessors get the deed from the Recorder's Office. A letter then is
transmitted from the borough to the individual buyer who fills out
the letter stating how much was paid.
Assemblymember Phillips said she felt the resolution smacked as an
adverse movement against free enterprise. If a person is buying
property for investment, and subsequently sells property at the
invested or higher price they ought to pay taxes at the higher price.
She urged defeat of the resolution.

Assemblymember O'Connell questioned why a change order had not been
issued for these monies prior to the contractor doing the work.
Public Works Engineer Conyers advised the contractor had discovered
the problem and notified the borough. At that time it was not
determined why the error had occurred and the contractor was directed
to proceed as per his contractual agreement to complete the work.
Atty. Boedeker informed the assembly this contract was a site
preparation contract which was bid at a unit price not as a lump sum
price. He said the contractor had the obligation to finish the job
and it didn't require any further authorization. However, the
contractor is entitled to rely on the information supplied. The
information was in error due to survey contours which were used --
about 25% off.
Mayor Thompson reiterated the survey was inaccurate and the borough
was not paying any more for this job than if the information had been
correct initially.

ASSEMBLYMEMBER MC GAHAN MOVED ADOPTION OF RES. 86-166.
Pam Hansen P.O. Box 1944, Soldotna, stated opposition to the name of
Captain Cook High School as she felt it was confusing due to Captain
Cook State Park.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER MC GAHAN MOVED TO AMEND THE TITLE, LINE 4, ADD:
"NIKISKI HIGH SCHOOL, NEW NIKISKI ELEMENTARY SCHOOL..."; ADD SECTION
3.. Line 1, "That the temporarily named new Nikiski Elementary..."
AND ASKED UNANIMOUS CONSENT.
Assemblymember McGahan explained Nikiski already has an elementary
school so this needed to be delineated.
THE MC GAHAN AMENDMENT WAS ADOPTED BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT.
Assemblymember Phillips noted she'd received several comments and
objections about the naming of the Captain Cook High School.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER PHILLIPS MOVED TO WITHDRAW SECTION 1. AND RETURN THE
ITEM TO COMMITTEE FOR REVIEW AND POSSIBLE RENAMING.
Assemblymember McGahan asked District 2 representatives how Captain
Cook High School was named. Assemblymember Mullen said after review
of the resolution and submitted suggestions, the representatives had
compromised on the name through a voting process.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER MC LANE MOVED TO POSTPONE RES. 86-166 TO JANUARY 16,
1987, ALLOWING DISTRICT 2 REPRESENTATIVES TO REVIEW THE NAME.
Pres. Sewall pointed out the item had been on the agenda for quite
some time and Assemblymember McLane's motion would postpone naming of
all the schools not just the controversial Captain Cook.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER MC LANE WITHDREW HIS MOTION.
Assemblymember Walli advised a Board of Education member said she'd
rather see the school named the Central Peninsula High School rather
than Captain Cook.

(e) Res. 87-1 "Correcting the Boundaries of the Soldotna
Lan - to Match Correct Topographical Information"
(Mayor Q Req. Waste Disposal Commission)
ASSEMBLYMEMBER GLICK MOVED ADOPTION OF RES. 87.1.
Local Affairs Vice Chairman Walli advised the Committee heard
testimony from adjacent propertyowners and had voted two in
opposition and one in favor of the resolution.
Public Works Chairman McLane said the Committee gave no
recommendation.
John Landua, Waste Disposal Commissioner, recapped Waste Disposal
o0 a sion (WDC) recommendations: 1) extend life of Soldotna landfill
for twenty (20) years to be designated as the Central Peninsula
Landfill: 2) close Kenai landfill as per the city council's wishes$
3) build two (2) baler facilities - one in Kenai and one at the
Soldotna landfills 4) begin acquisition of the Elephant Lake site$
and 5) establish a procedural process for coming up with a
compprehensive plan for waste disposal borough wide. He said Res.
87-1 followed the WDC recommendations. He passed out a letter from
Rich Underkofler supporting the basic recommendations of the WDC. In
considering consigning central landfilling operations to the Soldotna
Landfill, the borough needed to take into account if a new landfill
were started at Elephant Lake area, pollution discharge liability
would be increased by 50%. There would be two (2) closed landfills,
and one open one. The closed landfills would still require
monitoring activities for about 30 years. He strongly advocated
passage of Res. 87-1.
Chuck Roser ARC Road, stated opposition to Res. 87-1. He cited Res.
"--ZU7 whick established a buffer zone around the Soldotna landfill.
Expansion of about 330 feet would bring garbage closer to private
water wells in one area and 250 feet in another area of expansion.
He said this was not a topographical error in legal description but
an expansion.
Coral Allen Box 301 Soldotna, urged defeat of Res. 87-1. She felt
t s wou provide expansion of the dump for the next 20 to 100 years
for central peninsula dumping. She noted the 1986 DEC permit doesn't
include the expansion. She felt the intent of the assembly was to
close the dump while Res. 87-1 would provide otherwise. She said
passage would result in 1) violation of Res. 81-207, 2) lands which
had previously been designated as cover source or lands to be sold
would be used for garbage disposal, 3) more garbage being placed in
areas closer to Arc Lake, 4) result in more garbage being placed
closer to private water wells, 5) garbage would be placed in an area
of monitoring wells around the perimeter of the 1981 permit, 6)
permanent establishment of this dump as the Central Kenai Peninsula
Dump without courtesy of public hearing. She urged members to study
maps provided and notice close proximity to the Central Peninsula
land
High School and private lands. She noted private ownership at

the Soldotna landfill while the Elephant Lake site no private
owners adjacent. She noted the Assembly had passed three (3)
resolutions to close the dump and had never urged expansion.

Res . $7=I She felt the resolution was a disguise to increase the
landfill site. She said she was told if the propertyowners wells
were polluted, water would be ran out to them. She noted, however.

good stead for a number of years rather than reacting to emergencies.
Assemblymember McGahan stated she was upset by the resolution not
only because of a promise made to people (Res. 81-207) but also
j
because she felt it was dishonest. She felt it was not a correction
but an expansion and felt the whereases were not valid. She pointed
out in Res. 81-207, the second whereas stated "the land contained in

thus there was a topographical information. She further noted in the
last whereas. "considerable controversy has arisen over the use of
that part of the pothole located in Section 13...". She said she was
i
a sponsor of Res. 81-207 and the assembly knew exactly what land they
didn't want to use - the 3.2 acres - because that would put the
garbage pit closer to the wells of residents located there prior to
the pit. She felt this was a promise and should be kept.

Assemblymember McLane said his firm McLane & Associates had done much
of the surveying at the Soldotna landfill. He said the firm was
retained after the date of Res. 81-207 to stake the boundaries. He
said these surveys at the landfill had been done primarily for
j
'
payment to the contractor who was covering the garbage. Therefore,
was surveyed and unfortunately it wasn't
he said the work area
anticipated at that time the problems that would occur. So, there
wasn't an on the ground topographic survey that went up to the ridge
lines or the drainage breaks surrounding the bowl that the landfill
exists in. He said he didn't believe there was mischievous or
dubious intent behind the resolution, noting the forth whereas. He
reiterated it was unfortunate an on the ground survey wasn't done at

Mullen, Carey, , Sewall, McGahan, O'Connell and Skogstad voting Yes;
Phillips, Walli, Crawford, Glick, Fandel, McLane and Johnson voting
No.
Assemblymember Carey noted a promise had been made to the residents
and now when its economically better to ignore the promise, it was
suggested the garbage pit be expanded closer to private water wells.
He urged defeat of the resolution.
Assemblymember Johnson said he felt the WDC had worked diligently and
had made a very unpopular decision based on all the input they could
dredge up. He recommended "do pass" on the resolution.
Assemblymember Mullen said the reason the dilemna existed now was
because there hadn't been long-range planning. He said he asked
Engr. Bambard how long the Soldotna landfill could operate if Res.
87-1 failed and was told at least three (3) years with the current
status quo. He said he would vote against the measure in order to
encourage development of the Elephant Lake project. If in a couple
years the borough was still in a bind, the assembly could fall back
on the concept of expansion as proposed in Res. 87-1.
Assemblymember Nash advised he'd received a telephone call from Kathy
Bush advising there were some adjacent individual private owners at
Elephant Lake. He said members shouldn't kid themselves that by
putting the site at Elephant Lake individuals wouldn't be affected.
Further he noted no matter what was done, someone would be affected.
He said opening Elephant Lake in two (2) or three (3) years would
involve advising voters of another mill or mill and one-half rate
increase for dumping of garbage. He didn't feel it a proper time to
consider such a move.
Assemblymember McGahan reminded members money was not the only
consideration here but these residents' health also needed to be
considered.

Mullen, Carey, Sewall, McGahan, O'Connell and Skogstad voting No;
Nash, Phillips, Crawford, Glick, Fandel, McLane and Johnson voting

(f) Res. 87-2 "Approving the Installation of One Additional
Monitoring Well Down Gradient of the Soldotna Landfill
Site" (Mayor @ Req. Waste Disposal Commission)
ASSEMBLYMEMBER CAREY MOVED ADOPTION OF RES. 87-2.
Finance Chairman Crawford said the Committee questioned why the
resolution was before the body as the money had been appropriated for
the FY86-87 budget.
Local Affairs Vice -Chairman said the committee unanimously
recommended "do pass".
Engr. Bambard said the monitoring well was originally budgeted in the
86-87 budget and the reason why the resolution was before the
assembly was because it was part of the WDC total packafe
recommendation. It was felt the resolution would reinforce the WDC s
recommendation.
Assemblymember McLane asked if there had been any contamination in
subsurface water at the Soldotna landfill. Engr. Bambard said in all
tests to date, there had been no evidence of such.
Assemblymember Nash asked Engr. Bambard. in light of the vote on Res.
87-1, was there any need to put this monitoring well in. Engr.
Bambard said it would serve as a useful tool to help determine long
range integrity of the landfill. Engr. Bambard said the cost had
L �-

been estimated at $10,000 although this was difficult as the borough
was trying to identify presence of a second aquifer.
Coral Allen, Soldotna, said adjacent residents had been told for
year—` ss th ' d been adequately protected by the monitoring wells at the
garbage dump and which would serve as an early warning signal of
contamination. She urged passage of Res. 87-2 and also asked the
assembly to consider placement of other monitoring wells.
Assemblymember McLane asked Mrs. Allen to confirm neither the borough
nor the EPA had done any testing on the private water wells. Mrs.
Allen said she believed the borough had tested one private well
across from the dump. She indicated residents had requested the DEC
test all private wells but had been refused.
Pamela Hansen Soldotna, asked Engr. Bambard if the monitoring wells
at the site were being tested for heavy metals and if the new high
school well would be a test well. Engr. Bambard said Arc Lake was
tested quarterly and the high school wells would be tested quarterly
because they are Class A wells.
Assemblymember McGahan called members attention to a Circla report
presented at the last meeting. She said the report indicated
drilling muds were placed in the dump from 1972-74. She quoted,
"Sufficient information is not available to completely characterize
the site or to rule out a direct groundwater pathway between an upper
unconfined aquifer and a loser confined aquifer...Because of the high
permeability of natural soils beneath the landfill, the existence of
the former lake in this area, the lack of information on geohydrology
and the use of groundwater for drinking supply, contaminant migration
via groundwater is a primary route of concern. She summarized the
report saying it stated more testing needed to be done and
contaminants are there.

ASSEMBLYMEMBER MC GAHAN MOVED FOR ADOPTION OF RES. 87-4.
Public Works Vice Chairman McGahan advised the committees had met on
Dec. 30 and January 6, with reconsideration of some items of Dec. 30
and subsequent changes. Assemblymember McGahan noted the road
projects list had come from Engr. Conyers, according to ordinance,
with a point values for maintenance and bid ready projects listed
first. She noted federally funded road projects had been separated
out. She stated on the cities' listings, the first three priorities
had been listed for each. Unincorporated areas were :..'.tied for the
first time.
Assemblymember Nash asked Mrs.McGahan why the Funny River project had
been de'-'--.d from federally funded projects and added in the
unincorporated areas' priorities. Mrs. McGahan said the committee,
after review, v 'eu L_ remove the Funny River project off federally
funded projects as it is not now a federally funded project.
Larry _P__oge, P.O. Box 2138 Funnv River area, stated his surprise on
seeing t11ie Funny River project moved from federally funded to
unincorporated priorities. He felt the project should be kept under
federally funded projects as the monies from the State and borough
would be non-existent for this year. He said there was statewide
support for the bridge and indication of available federal monies.

Assemblymember McGahan advised committees aren't held in formal
parliamentary manner: however, when the majority of the committee
wanted to reconsider items, she allowed it.
Assemblymember Valli spoke against postponement also noting in DOT
regional meetings, Funny River Road has never been discussed.
Assemblymember Carey spoke in favor of postponement, noting even if
the list were provided in two (2) months the legislature was absorbed
in the current budget crisis.

Assemblymember Johnson commented per his understanding the Funny
River Bridge was not on a federally funded project list and he felt
it would have been confusing to list it under such a listing.
Assemblymember McLane stated his intention of drafting a resolution
supporting inclusion of the Funny River Road project on the federally

capacity for storage on existing hardware has already been used up
and additional hardware has been ordered. He said the Borroughs
Corp. has instigated a study at no charge to determine what the
boroughs options are. Additionally, the committee is looking at
purchase of leased equipment to save money. Assemblymember Nash
asked about the possibility of networking outside machines with the
borough computer. Assemblymember Johnson said while this had been
discussed, it had been moved to priority three based on other
pressing problems. Assemblymember Johnson said it would -not be
cost-effective to go outside the borough for such networking.
Assemblymember Johnson commended the Waste Disposal Commission
members for the fine job they'd done.
Assemblymember McLane said as budget realities draw closer, he felt
it was important for the assembly to be consistent regarding taxpayer
dollars.
Assemblymember Skogstad asked Mayor Thompson if the borough had

the Dept. of Community and Regional Affairs, has taken data available
and hired a firm to take samplings of target areas to update the
census.
Assemblymember McGahan commented on the school budget questionnaire,
noting some glaring omissions.
Pres. Sewall thanked the Waste Disposal Commission for being the
"heavies" for the assembly and doing yeoman work. He reminded

'
Advocate Passage of a Ballot Proposition" (McGahan)
FAILED 12-16-86, MTR FILED MOORE
ASSEMBLYMEMBER MC GAHAN MOVED TO RECONSIDER ORD. 86-94.
Mrs. McGahan spoke of violations during the last bond proposition
election although there is currently a prohibition on doing so. She
1
stated employees can hand out fact sheets or attend meetings and
discuss propositions factually. However, this year there were
blatant violations of this prohibition. She asked members to vote
for reconsideration and she would then request the ordinance be
`
referred to Education Committee for further work.
I(
THE MOTION TO RECONSIDER THE VOTE ON ORD. 86-94 WAS ADOPTED ON A VOTE
OF 9 YES, 5 NO; Phillips, Keene, Walli. Mullen, Moore, Carey, Sewall,
McGahan and Johnson voting Yest Nash, Crawford, Glick, O'Connell and
Skogstad voting No.
f
ASSEMBLYMEMBER MC GAHAN MOVED TO REFER ORD. 86-94 TO THE EDUCATION
COMMITTEE FOR FURTHER AMENDMENT AND CONSIDERATION UNTIL THE FEB.3,
f
1987.
Assemblymember Carey noted as a teacher he'd been asked to give 4 or
5 handouts. He believed the committee should scrutinize this policy
of possibly putting school teachers in the difficult position of
almost advocating things.
Assemblymember Nash stated he was not in favor of a criminal penalty
as it would be unenforceable. And, in view of the fact there is
already an ordinance not being enforced. He hoped the committee
t
would draft a resolution, rather than a penalty ordinance. requesting
}
Dr. Pomeroy to look at what appeared to happen in 1986 and report to
the assembly.
j
Assemblymember Moore felt members were being uneasy about punishing
public officials. Atty. Boedeker indicated he would not be
representing individuals as there was potential for conflict, per Mr.
Moore's inquiry.

ASSEMBLYMEMBER JOHNSON MOVED TO POSTPONE ORD. 86-71 AND ORD. 86-71
SUBSTITUTE UNTIL JANUARY 20, 1987.
As semblymember Johnson stated the Data Processing Review Committee
was exploring the possibility of storing additional. information on
micro fiche, which the ordinance doesn t reflect. He stated the
computer storage is running out of space and in fact is at about 1991
as far as scheduled storage. Finance Chairman Crawford stated the
committee concurred with postponement.
No member of the public wished to speak to the ordinance.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER JOHNSON ASKED UNANIMOUS CONSENT APPROVAL FOR
POSTPONEMENT. ORD. 86-71 AND SUBSTITUTE WAS POSTPONED TO JANUARY 20,
1987 BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT.
(b) Ord. 86-85 "Promoting the Furtherance of Local Hire{

a Construction Ombudsman" (Nash)
ASSEMBLYMEMBER NASH MOVED ENACTMENT OF ORD. 86-85 (CORRECTED).
Finance Chairman Crawford said the committee had no recommendation
after discussion of Ord. 86-85.
Public hearing was opened.
Leo T. Oberts 1440 Chinook Ct. Kenai, said in the 35 years he'd been
n as a, ocal hire has been a continuing controversy. He noted
the amount of capital funds expended on schools and university and
asked that the assembly investigate how many school teachers were
products of these schools.
Van Sky, Rte. 1, Box 1330, North Kenai, said he was not aware
�LarrX
ny p� meetings held on Ord. 86-85. He hoped the ordinance
could be postponed so the public could cdmment on it.
Public hearing was closed.
Assemblymember Nash said most comments he'd heard about the ordinance
was that it was complex and everyone agreed it needed work. However,
finding time to address it or portions of it was difficult at this
time. He was also concerned about lack of public testimony. He
noted budstet time would be an avorovriate time to address the
ordinance.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER NASH MOVED TO POSTPONE ORD. 86-85 AND ORD. 86-85
CORRECTED INDEFINITELY AND PROVIDE THAT ANY ASSEMBLYMEMBER OR
COMMITTEE MAKE A MOTION TO BRING ORD. 86-85 AND ORD. 86-85 CQTD. BACK f
TO THE FLOOR AND SCHEDULE PUBLIC HEARINGS AS A MINIMUM IN THE
KENAI/SOLDOTNA, SEWARD AND HOMER AREAS.
Assemblvmember McGahan spoke against postponement noting the assembly
had made a concerted effort to promote local hire and there is an
ordinance in place regarding this. She felt this was an
overcomplicated piece of legislation and didn't feel an ombudsman was n
needed.

Lands Chairman Skogstad said the committee recommended postponement

qualify for this parcel. The Committee felt consideration was
premature without this indication.

Mayor Thompson stated administration was not pushing this conveyance
and actually there were three (3) claimants on the land.
Administratively, he felt it better the matter was turned back to the
State and let them decide which of the three had right to it. He
;
said administration would take other property in return for this
property under borough land authorization.
Assemblymember Valli asked where in the ordinance did it state the
property would return to the State rather than the individual. i
Mayor Thompson said the ordinance would authorize the Mayor to
dispose of the land and in his judgement it would be better returned
to the State.
Assemblymember Skogstad noted the Lands Committee felt this was a
very choice piece of property. They were concerned that although the
Borough might get equal value property, there was concern whether in
actuality this would happen. The committee felt prior to setting up
a trade, the borough should know what lands the borough would
receive.
Assemblymember Crawford spoke against postponement and felt the
property should be returned to the State to rid the borough of the
current litigation possibility and resulting legal expenses.
THE SKOGSTAD MOTION TO POSTPONE ORD. 86-91 WAS DEFEATED ON A VOTE OF i
8 YES, 6 NOi Keene, Walli, Mullen, Carey, Sewall, O'Connell, Skogstad
and Johnson voting Yes: Nash, Phillips, Crawford, Moore Glick and i
McGahan voting No.
i
Mayor Thompson said when lands are traded with the State, if a piece
is unacceptable the borough can reject it.
i
ASSEMBLYEMMBER O'CONNELL MOVED TO AMEND ORD. 86-91, SECTION 3.
STRIKE/ADD "That this ordinance takes effect [immediately upon its
enactment] upon such da as the State of Alaska issues atent to the
Kenai Peninsula orou or an o equal or rester va ue in
exc an a or the specific acreage being relinquished by the borough

Assemblymember O'Connell said the purpose of the amendment was to say
exchange would occur when the State is ready to issue patent on land
of equal of greater value.

Kenai Peninsula Borough Regular Assembly Meeting December 16, 1986
Assemblymember Johnson spoke against the O'Connell amendment
indicating the Mayor was capable of handling the exchange.
Assemblymember Nash spoke against the O'Connell amendment noting the
backlog in the Bureau of Land Management and the possibility of years
before obtaining a patent.
Assemblymember O'Connell stated he felt the arguments only reinforced j
his position of not relinquishing land until the patent was received. ;t',
He noted under the original Entitlement Act to State patented lands
in about 1963 to date we haven't received all the lands. He felt the
land was valuable and shouldn't be given up as a "credit" to the
Borough account.
A
Assemblymember Walli spoke in favor of the O'Connell amendment,
noting the letter from the State to the Mayor which stated, "The v
State will not be conveying the land to the federal government L
the federal government will have to sue the State, etc. ... the
allotment may be valid."
Mayor Thompson said he was trying to avoid getting the Borough
involved in a legal entanglement with the three claimants.
THE O'CONNELL AMENDMENT FAILED ON A VOTE OF 7 YES, 7 NO; Phillips,
Keene, Walli, Mullen, Carey, O'Connell and Skogstad voting Yes; Nash,
Crawford, Moore Glick, Sewall, McGahan and Johnson voting No.
THE SKOGSTAD MOTION TO ENACT ORD. 86-91 FAILED ON A VOTE OF 8 YES, 6
NO; Keene, Walli, Mullen, Carey, O'Connell, and Skogstad voting Nos
Nash, Phillips, Crawford, Moore, Glick, Sewall, McGahan, and Johnson

_tTle Resource Development Commission and Recodifying
and Amending KPB 2.42 and Requiring Quarterly Report-
ing to the Assembly"(Nash/Fandel)
ASSEMBLYMEMBER NASH MOVED ENACTMENT OF ORD. 86-92 (REV. SUBST.).
Public hearing was opened.
Leo T. Oberts 1440 Chinook Ct. Kenai, felt the commission should be
compose o members who promote industrial /bus ine as development and ;
get as many ideas as possible and put ideas together as developers.
He thought membership should be drawn from the community and not just
government representatives and borough staff should be available to
the commission.
Public hearing was closed.
Assemblymember Nash pointed out the existing commission had actually
been sunsetted two years ago but no extending legislation had been
drawn. He advised a commission member felt there was no guidance
from the assembly. Mr. Nash felt there was a great need for a
commission for further growth and employment in the borough. He said
five (5) members would theoretically be nominated by the city for
appointment by the Mayor and the rest would be direct appointments by
the Mayor. He said the powers and duties section was substantively
different and had been achieved through consultation with the
director of State Economic Development and a governor's
representative. These powers are identical to federal and state
powers and duties.
Assemblymember McGahan noted this commission had originally been ;
funded by a federal grant and had been continued although federal !
funding stopped. In light of economic problems to be dealt with. she
felt the commission and department should be sunsetted. She felt
chambers of commerce, businessmen and the borough Planning Dept.
could cover the duties.

Assemblymember Skogstad felt at budget time, services would be
reviewed and a determination made then about cutting services. He
felt the commission had accomplished a lot of good and the assembly
had been negligent in not asking for more reports and information.
Assemblymember Moore said he would expect to see some fulfillment of
the listed duties at budget time in order to support continued
funding.

L. CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTIONS
(a) Res. 86-167 "Requesting the Governor to Conduct an
X&REwive Review of the Decision by the Board of
Fish to Restrict the Harvest of King Salmon in Cook
Inlet by East Side Setnetters" (Mullen/McGahan/Glick)
ASSEMBLYMEMBER MULLEN MOVED ADOPTION OF RES. 86-167.
David Richards 393 Bering St., Soldotna, appeared in opposition. It
was his teetinLg the time for public testimony and action was at the
Board of Fish meeting two weeks prior. He felt it inappropriate the
assembly was acting on this as the Board of Fish had done its job.
He indicated the Board was responding to the majority of the public
to change the allocation of the fishery resource and he said due to
exclusions and exceptions the 7,000 king quota was not a definite
limit.
Cher 1 Sutton committee coordinator for the Kenai Peninsula
s ermen s oop. PAC, Box 546, Soldotna, asked fishermen present in
the audience to stand to indicate their interest (40). Ms. Sutton
read a letter from a fisherman reflecting the hardships which will
befall he and his family under the new quota. She disputed Mr.
Richards' testimony that the majority of southcentral citizens wanted
this quota. She indicated she had been flooded with letters from not
only commercial fishermen but also sports fishermen and business
people both in this area and Anchorage.
Assemblymember Nash asked Ms. Sutton as a PAC, had the Coop. been
working with legislators or the governor's office. She indicated
both had been contacted. He further asked if she anticipated any
legislative action to which she responded she didn't feel free to
specify what was being worked on at this time but knew they were in
support for review of the action by the governor. She felt an action
by this body was significant.
Mayor Thompson asked Ms. Sutton if a newly appointed board would have
the authority to reconsider the action. Ms. Sutton said she didn't
know but felt it was basically out of the hands of the board at this
time because three (3) members had resigned.
Duane Edelman president of the Fishermen's Coop., said the board's
decision to t e 7,000 quota goes directly against the management
plan. He said the primary use of the commercial fishery between
July 1 and August 15 was no longer the management tool in use. He
said there was a possibility of 1,000,000 sockeye harvest loss in the
east setnet fishery versus a possible catch as low as 310 additional

king salmon in the Kenai River. He said the decision was purely
�=
allocative and had no biological basis at all. He said anyone having
any regard for the resource - the fish, the economic impact on the
sports and commercial fisheries, economic impact on the local
has deep far-reaching
and state economies, surely must see this and
effects that couldn't be speculated on. In June of 1986, the coop
participated in drafting legislation setting standards, criteria and
- --
""
guidelines on the Board of Fisheries' decisions. After many'
attem ts, art of these were incorporated in legislation. He said
dealt
certain Board members stated the allocation issues had to be
with as it would take too long to figure out these guidelines. He
said in the past six months, the mandated guidelines have not been
put into effect. He felt the board had abdicated its responsibility
and felt the governor should review and possibly reorganize tae
Board.

Brent Johnson Box 508 Clam Gulch, said he was a setnetter in support
of the reso ution. He felt in this case a user group, the
setnetters, had not been given fair representation. He said
representation was "aprinkled" throughout the state, the
_-
representative from Cook Inlet being Bix Bonney an avid sports user.
"sprinkled"
'
This representation was also throughout the user groups
-- no setnetter being represented on the Board, which he felt unfair_'
politically.
Don Johnson sport guide on the Kenai River, said a lot of money and
time -expen"ddeA on the Board of Fish meeting to determine what to do.
He didn't feel it right the borough spend money to attempt to undo
the Board's action. He felt justice was done as among user groups
represented, a large number sports fishermen had appeared and had
wanted a change.
Assemblymember Skogstad asked Mr. Johnson if he felt the Fish Board
should in essence be making political decisions dependent upon how
many eople speak (political management) or by biological management.
Mr. Johnson said he would personally prefer seeing it managed by
biological management but that wasn't what was set up.
Leo Oberts Kenai, spoke in favor of the resolution stating the need
for bo%gtcal management rather than political management. He noted
little is known about the Kenai River and one week ago some federal
individuals utilizing his property found the kings not only run along
the banks but are also in the mainstream and along the rocks. He
further noted two years ago, the Commissioner of Fish and Game had
extended the season on kings for six (6) dayys and felt this was the
dumbest thing ever known as the fish were in the spawning mode and
unsuitable for human consumption.
Tim Moore S.R. Box 714R Kasilof, pointed out the Fish and Game Board
oes ave criteria to allocate fish and there is a 1977 amendment on
the books, Kenai Management Plan, which he paraphrased, 'In regard to
managing the sockeye run from July 1 to August 15. the board is
supposed to -- all subsequent proposals are supposed to be in line
with this.' He said this proposal was strictly not in line with the
Kenai Management Plan and was strictly allocative and political and
the Board is not following its own process.
Jim Johnson Box 3774 Soldotna, president of the Cook Inlet
ro ess ona Sport fishing Association, a chapter of Trout, Unitd.
said his personal opinion of Proposal 219 (Bd. of Fish proposal) was
not a solution to a problem that had been developing for years. He
felt it was the Board's attempt to actually define what the Cook
Inlet Management Plan says about minimizing the king salmon
incidental catch and gill nets. He said obviously people didn't feel
this solution was acceptable and he didn't feel the proposal would
that much effect minimizing the incidental catch. But, it was an
attempt to define it which has not occurred in the past. He said
many sports fishermen have felt over the years that the Board was
flawed on how it was administered -- questioning why there was one
(1) or two (2) sports fishing reps, five (5) commercial reps --
obviously based on who was harvesting the greater number of fish. He

felt the Board of Fish weren't the experts they needed to be for
management of the fisheries in Alaska.
Assemblymember Mullen said the king quota was totally unmanageable
and was only logical to expect the taking of kings to stop short of
7,000. He said the proposal goes further in that it destroys the
data base used by Fish and Came has been working with in relation to
gathering information about king salmon. He felt it fair to say the
personal use of king salmon on east side beaches would increase. He
pointed out the Cook Inlet Management plan calls for the commercial
king catch to be minimized not eliminated or limited to some
arbitrary number not related to the biological health of the resource.
Assemblymember Carey spoke of the issue of "checks and balances" in
the democratic process. If one group makes a decision, out of fair
play its accepted but this allows only the powerful to rule. The
purpose of "checks and balances" is to protect any individual or
group who will suffer unduly as a result of the wishes of the
politically powerful. He felt the rights of all fishermen should be
protected.
Assemblymember McGahan pointed out the possibility of overescapement
in the river. She noted in 1972 when commercial fishermen were shut
down, the run went up the river faster than anticipated and the
amount of dead fish coming back down the river who hadn t spawned was
tremendous. She said she would like to see the last "WHEREAS"
amended to read, "WHEREAS, the economy of the Kenai Peninsula Borough
will [could] severely be [negatively] impacted..." She noted most of
tTie east side setnetter were second, third and fourth generation
residents who spend their money locally. She believed all
legislators should be given a copy of the resolution.

trap as it was alleged the Board of Fish had fallen into -- making

of the impact.

RES. 86-167, AS AMENDED, WAS ADOPTED BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT PER REQUEST
OF ASSEMBLYMEMBER MORE.
(b) Presentation of Waste Disposal Commission's Formal
Recommendation for Waste Disposal Practices in the
Central Peninsula Area by Chairman Joe Arness
Joe Arness. Chairman of the Waste Disposal Commission, addressed the
High Waste Disposal Commission in
points of a recommendation provided
the assembly's packets. He said last last spring the assembly, by
resolution, requested the Commission take a look and find a proposed
new central peninsula waste site. The Mayor made the same request by
memorandum. The Commission did find such a proposed site at Elephant
Lake but also requested a decision be held off until the Commission
could come up with some sort of long-range program to present. The
Commission disovered while looking for new sites that the Soldotna
landfill site environmentally was ever bit as good as others although
there were obvious drawbacks - primarily, relative location to
privately owned property. The Elephant Lake site had a similar
drawback in that the native association owns adjoining property.
Secondly, the Elephant Lake site would require in excess of
$3.000,000 to break ground including the construction of a road. It
seemed illogical to spend that money to get where the Borough is now
in terms of disposal practices. The Commission, after review of
available information, recommended the Borough maintain and operate
the Soldotna landfill as a central peninsula landfill for a period of
twenty (20) years. Based on the supposition. the Borough will come
up with money to purchase a baler facility for that site extending
its life to twenty (20) years (under current disposal practices, the
site will be filled in eight (8) years). In the incorporated cost
estimates, the cheapest alternative is the maintenance of the status
quo which would last eight (8) years and then location of a new site.
Additional recommendations requiring Assembly approval: drilling of
a new monitoring well to monitor and locate aquifers, establishment
of a buffer zone adjoining the Soldotna landfill and leasing the
ground to a non-profit entity to remove it directly from Borough
hands without removing access, incorporation of areas into existing
legal description as a technical adjustment not an expansion to make
disposal fit the contours of the topography which should have been
accomplished in 1981, Public Works Dept. formulate and institute a
plan whereby existing the landfill will be capped with a impermeable
or semi -impermeable layer such as native clay to minimize the surface
water which percolates through the existing landfill, and lastly, the
assembly instruct the administration to proceed with the acquisition
of the proposed Elephant Lake site as potential future site. Also,
the Commission recommended establishment of a baler site in Kenai
landfill, as it will be closed in 18 months and a baler would lend
itself to economic transportation of wastes to Soldotna.
Assemblymember Nash asked about a reference to "landfillin§
operations at the Kenai landfill to be terminated by June of 1986.
Mr. Arness said this was a typographical error and should read June
of 1988. Mr. Nash said if the recommended baler sites would be
enclosed. Mr. Arness said it would be with trucks removing refuse

daily.He said this was in recognition of the costs to not only the
3orlu but also businesses or private citizens of transporting
wastes to Soldotna. Mr. Nash asked if there were significant cost to
preparing the Soldotna site for baling and Mr. Arness said there was
not. He said the action of capping the site would be reparation for
a baler and bales would result in water running off bales rather than
running through them which is environmentally sounder and cheaper in
the long run.
Assemblymember McGahan asked where septic waste was being dumped.
Mr. Arness said per his understanding there are specific sites for
liquid sites.
Assemblymember Moore asked if the Commission were looking for an
additional Mr.
assignment. Arness noted the twenty (20) year
comprehensive plan suggested would be an excellent idea and also
noted the assembly had assigned Ord. 86-101 on storage of hazardous
to
waste the committee. Mr. Arness advised the Commission had
invited people from the Municipality of Anchorage to give a
presentation to the Commission on January 6, 1987. Also on that
date. the Commission has asked persons in the Special Waste Task
Group to give its input and in the evening the Waste Disposal
Commission will hold its regular meeting. He didn't feel the
Commission would have a recommendation ready by the 6th of January.
Assemblymember Nash asked what a realistic date would be for such a
recommendation. Mr. Amass said he personally thought a
recommendation, final
not a project, could be prepared on the 20th of
February.
Assemblymember Carey asked if the Commission were involved in the
Sterling waste site. Mr. Arness responded there is a lawsuit pending
which has, for intents
all and purposes, taken the Commission out of
it. Mr. Arness said several months back the Department of
Environmental Conservation (DEC) issued a closure order, an
adjudicatory hearing was held from which no result had been
forthcoming. Currently.
the matter has gone to district court and
the Commission cannot do anything until such time as there is some
determination by the courts or DEC as to who's responsibility is
what. Assemblymember Carey asked if the Commission could supply a
report to the Assembly on what they had determined in their
consideration of the Sterling Waste site.
Assemblymember Moore asked Mr. Arness if the Elephant Lake site would
be a suitable site for special waste site. Mr. Arness said
environmentally it would be, but the Commission proposal was not
a suitable proposal if no other reason than it is too small. Per Mr.
Moore, 8 question, Mr. Arness indicated the Soldotna site is not
a�
suitable for special wastes.

adequate sites could be found possibly even considering excavated

daily.
Brother Isaiah Homer, noted the success of the Homer Baler Facility
n g t o t e problems with their surface landfill site. He said
he'd not heard of one complaint regarding hazardous wastes since the
advent of the baler. He suggested be done at the Homer site in order
information
to obtain regarding weight, liquids, space, drainage, etc.
Assemblymember McGahan noted a copy of Res. 81-207 within packet
information stating the Soldotna site would not be expanded, giving
legal descriptions. It was her feeling if the Elephant Lake Site
were developed, people moving into the area, post -development, would
be aware of the dump. She said her resolution is not worded as an
either/or proposition but simply asks the administration to go ahead
with taking steps required to obtain the Elephant Lake site. It
further asks the Mayor to pursue with any involved parties, including
she thought the Salamatof Native Corp., all avenues for a grant for
an access road to the site and construction of the facilities. She
hoped the site would be developed for conincineration. She felt this
would be a start to a long-range plan.

Ed Oberts Sterling, asked if Res. 86-148 (AM) would be considered at
the Januaty 6. 1987 meeting. Pres. Sewall responded the assembly had
not acted to suspend the rules for consideration at this meeting, so
the item expired for consideration.
Atty. Boedeker said unless a special meeting was called before Dec.
23rd or 24th, it could not be addressed.
Mrs. McGahan asked if this meeting were recessed to Jan. 6th rather
than adjourned, could the veto of Res. 86-148 (AM) be taken up.
Atty. Boedeker indicated a veto has to be taken up by the next
regular meeting after notice of veto has been given or 21 days.
whichever is later. He didn't feel recessing was a valid means to

Brother Isaiah Homer, stated appreciation of the assembly's good
work and t me and energy sent and wished everyone a merry Christmas
a most delightful New Year s. He reflected on the subject at hand
and the need for research (waste disposal).
Stan McGrorty, HCR 35780, Clover Dale Circle Homer, appeared on
behalf of Homer Chamber of Commerce. He said the Chamber had
appointed he, Nick Gangel, Hazel Beath, Bill Tosci and Eileen Becker
to an Exploration Committee. They were were established to: 1)
insure that assemblymembers uphold the Mayor's veto or support a new
ordinance which would allow companies to carry out mineral
exploration between Ninilchik and Anchor Point, 2) adopt a resolution
to change the date established by the DNR to accept public comments
from January 9th until June 1st, 1987, 3) adopt a resolution of
support for companies to explore lower Cook Inlet for biological,
environmental and geological purposes, and 4) provide education to
the people as necessary. He said other groups had either supported
extended public comment time or support for exploration. Pres.
Sewall noted DNR had extended the public comment period but had
scheduled no public hearings.
Leo Oberts Sterling, said his concern with Ord. 86-92 Subst. was

period of time.
Richard Mus rove Box 1157 Soldotna, advised As en Mining has had
perm is rom t e Corps of Engineers for several years and to his
knowledge have done nothing. He felt the assembly should override
the Mayor's veto.
Roger Meeks Kenai, felt everyone was overlooking one important
point -- no one knows what's in the inlet in minerals. And, what is
out there is not a renewable resource. However, he felt going into
the inlet was taking a big chance because nobody knows what damage if
any would be done to the fishing. He felt the Borough should not
take a chance on a renewable resource -- fishing and related jobs.
P. MAYOR'S REPORT
Mayor Thompson advised he had proceeded, by Assembly direction, with
purchase of the Hansen property in Homer for a school. He said
sometime in the next week the contract for approximately $300,000 was
near fruition. He advised he had a cost report on the flood damage
in the Seward area.
Mr. Carey asked Mayor Thompson if the Hansen property would be held
exclusively for a school. Mayor Thompson said per his understanding
it was purchased for a future school site but felt the Assembly could
decide to use it for some other use.
Mr. Keene asked Mayor Thompson to detail why the raw property
purchased for approximately $100,000 would end up costing around
5300,000. Mayor Thompson explained of the $317,000, approximately
$120,000 was a conditional price payable only if certain improvements
such as a road, water, electricity %mee supplied by Hansen and
approved by the City of Homer. Mr. Keene thanked Mayor Thompson for
the information.

R. ASSEMBLY AND MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mr. Skogstad asked an indication of members about who would be
interested in attending a workshop with the Planning Dept. regarding
ggoing over the lease plan ordinance dealing with Diamond Shamrock and
Chuitna plans. He said possibly there would be a rough draft of the
ordinance for review on the meeting of the sixth.
Mrs. McGahan thanked members of the public for comments. She said
she wished the Assembly had addressed the override of the Mayor's
veto on Res. 86-148 (Rev.) and was disappointed on the way it was
handled.
Mrs. Phillips thanked the Waste Disposal Commission for their report
and bringing the resolution to the forefront.
Mr. Keene said in that he wasn't in attendance last meeting, he would
have voted in favor of Res. 86-148 (Rev.)
Mrs. Walli thanked members of the public for attendance at committee
meetings and Mr. Arness and the Commission for their hard work. She
said regarding biological management of resources she wasn't an
expert but recalled Stariski Creek and the years it had taken for the
king salmon to return.
Mr. Mullen said he'd read about a takeover bid for Diamond Shamrock
by Mesa Ltd. and wanted to be sure the Borough's interest in the
project weren't jeopardized.

Mr. Crawford asked the Borough Clerk to set up a meeting for the
South Peninsula Hospital Task Force in mid -January.
Mr. Moore advised the new Sterling Fire Station would be dedicated
in the next week.
Mr. Carey said the financially beleaguered Kenai Peninsula Community
College presented its monetary request to the school board. He had
been asked by the Council to check into the fact that in the school
budget approved last year, $86,000 had been appropriated for the
community college but the school board cut $50,000 of this amount.
He asked if after such monies were specifically approved by the
Assembly, subsequently moved by the school board, did the school
board have to come back to the Assembly at some point and explain
their actions.
Mrs. Glick said the Legislative/Policies Committee would be meeting
on the 30th of December at 4:00 P.M. to review capital improvement
projects and priorities. Mrs. Glick noted the Kenai Kaucus had
written a letter requesting at least one member of each of the
communities on the peninsula be placed on the task force groups
looking at reorganization of the community colleges.
Mr. Skogstad asked the Borough Clerk to notify communities and
chambers of commerce in the borough regarding their capital
improvement lists.
Mr. Sewall asked Atty. Boedeker if the service area mill rate was
included in the borough mill rate in terms of the overall legislative
cap. Atty. Boedeker said this was a difficult question but currently
he felt they would be included at this point. Mr. Sewall asked Mayor
Thompson about mitigation work on Grouse Creek. Mayor Thompson said
currently work was held up by Corps of Engineer permission.
Mayor Thompson said there had been misunderstandings regarding Aspen
Mining and specifically their request had been for exploration only
and didn't automatically permit mining. He said a mining permit
requires 22 different permits. He said prospecting would encompass
core drilling, remote sensing, sampling and possibly a dredge would
be brought in to dredge of five feet by five hundred feet. He
thanked Mr. Arness and the Waste Disposal Commission for their fine
work.
Assemblymembers thanked Mrs.McGahan for the gifts she annually gives
at Christmas.
S. INFORMATIONAL MATERIALS AND REPORTS
Mr. Sewall noted informational materials including Memo. 86-199,
Knight Drive and Resurrection/Exit Glacier and asked Atty. Boedeker
for an update on the litigation report.

Attention: Mayor & Council Members
The Cordova City Council at its regular meeting held
January 5, 1987, adopted Resolution 87-1 (copy attached).
This resolution expressed the Council's concern that the
current State laws allowing for the possession and use of
marijuana, tend to condone the use of marijuana and overlook
the potentially dangerous results of its use.
The Cordova City Council respectfully requests your support
in urging our State Legislators to repeal those sections of
the State law which allow for the possession and use of
marijuana and to request that laws be enacted to establish
criminal penalties for the possession and use of marijuana.
Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,

LEGISLATURE TO REPEAL LAWS ALLOWING FOR THE PERSONAL POSSESSION

WHEREAS, the State of Alaska is eligible for certain
Federal grants for control of narcotics; and

narcotics; and
WHEREAS, these provisions serve no useful purpose in a -
society that is outraged at the suffering and expense caused by
drug abuse,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the
City of Cordova, Alaska, that the Legislature of the State of
Alaska is urged to repeal those sections of the Alaska Statutes
which allow personal possession and use of marijuana, and

OPEN MEETINGS ACT
THE EXCEPTIONS
Gordon J. Tans
Partner
In the previous issue of THE MUNICIPAL ADVISER (Oc-
tober 1. 1996) the scope of the opening meetings act and the
implications of its violation were discussed. This article will
discuss the exceptions to the open meetings act.
Certain public bodies are excepted from the open meetings act
by AS 44.62.310(d), while certain subjects of discussion of
bodies otherwise covered by the act are excepted by AS
44.62.310(c). The public bodies excepted from the act will be
discussed firs.
CERTAIN PUBLIC BODIES ARE EXEMPT
It is provided in AS 44.62.310(d) that the open meetings act
does not apply at all to rive separate public bodies. Of the five,
the one of major importance to local government units is the
exception for quasi-judicial bodies when holding a meeting'
solely to make a decision in an aditidicatory proceeding. This
applies, for example, to the planning and zoning commission
when it meets solely for the Rurpose of decsdin (not hearing) a
zonin apReal, an ie to i council or assemblg when deciding
appeals from the planning and zoning commission, board of
w ing s. aso- lu iciai
"55Ty is not a court. ut ac s like a court in determining the
rights of individual parties according to the terms of ad-
ministrative law. A quasi-judicial body is required to determine
the facts and draw conclusions from them as a basis for its of-
ficial action.
For those municipalities which operate hospitals, two other ex-
ceptions found in AS 44.62.310(d) will be of interest. The
meetings of a hospital medical staff and the meetinsts of the
governing body or any committee of a hospital, wen holding
a mee n so e v o act u n matters of profession!uaTiiica-
ttons, privii ems or discipline, are excepted from the re-
quirements of the open meetings ac .
Of no importance at all to municipalities are the exceptions for
juries and parole or pardon boards.
CERTAIN SUBJECTS MAY BE DISCUSSED IN
EXECUTIVE SESSION
AS 44.62.310(c) offers three general exceptions of subjects
which may be discussed in an executive session of a body
otherwise compelled to comply with the open meetings act.

In this issue we welcome an article from SUSAN L. CHRIS-
TY, Sales Tax Administrator for the City/Borough of Juneau.
Susan is responding to an article which appeared in our Oc-
tober issue; look for her comments in the article entitled "Sales
Tax Audits".
MIKUNDA, COTTRELL & COMPANY follows up its Oc-
tober submittals with an article in this issue authored by

Open Meetings Act (Cont'd.)
First, a public body may discuss in executive session matters
the immediate knowledge of which would clearly have an
adverse effect upon the finance of the government unit. This
exception embodies a stringent test. The information to be
discussed must be such that it would clearly have an adverse ef-
fect on finances. The b.aty wishing to discuss this information
must make the initial detettninntion of whether public
dissemination of the inl.nmution would clearly have an adverse
effect on government tinmtct-%. Unfortunately. there has been
no guidance given by the vault. on this question. Until we have
the benefit of court interptetation of this language, public
bodies should go into executive session based on this exception
only with caution.
The second exception under AS 44.62.310(c) allows public
bodies to discuss in executive session subjects that tend to pre-
judice the reputation and character of any person. This excep-
tion will allow a public body to go into executive session, for
example. to evaluate prospective or current employees. An im-
portant point to remember, however, is that the person who is
to be discussed has the right to demand that the discussion take
place in public rather than in executive session. Furthermore,
the Supreme Court has held that not only must the individual
in question be given notice of the time and place of the
meeting, but also the individual must be advised specifically of
the right to demand public discussion. University of Alaska v.
Geismuts, 666 P.2d 424 (Alaska 1983).
The third exception for subjects which may be discussed in an
executive session is for those "matters which by law, municipal
charter. or ordinance are required to be confidential." State
law does not have a major impact on municipalities under this
provision. As for municipal charters and ordinances, each
municipality must examine its own provisions to determine
what must be kept confidential. It is entirely possible that the
charter and ordinances of any particular municipality have no
requirements of confidentiality. This exception to the open
meetings act provides municipalities an opportunity to protect
certain sensitive subjects from public disclosure. For example,
some municipalities have adopted ordinances requiring that
communications between their attorney and the municipality be
kept confidential. A municipality might also require that
discussions relating to on -going matters of litigation be kept
confidential. Although this appears to be an open-ended invita-
tion to legislate subjects which may be discussed in executive
session, caution should be used in adopting such exceptions.
Excess or indiscriminate use of this provision is likely to result
in a change in state law or in a court challenge. Before any
municipality adopts an ordinance requiring a subject to be kept
confidential, there should be legitimate reasons for doing so
and the subject should truly be one where the interests of the
municipality and the public are advanced by withholding public
disclosure.
HOW TO CONVENE AN EXECUTIVE SESSION
Before discussing in executive session any of the subjects
authorized under AS 44.62.310(c), it is mandatory that the
public body convene in public session, with reasonable public
notice, and disclose the subject to be discussed prior to voting
on the question of discussing the subject in the executive ses-
sion. So far, experience has shown that when this procedure is
followed by a public body, there is seldom a political or legal
problem raised. It is when this procedure is ignored, either in-
tentionally or unintentionally, that the public and the press
become alarmed about the "secret meetings" and assume the
worst about what transpired in such meetings. Thus, the prac-
tical importance for following the proper procedure for calling
an executive session is great. V
r
TAKE NO ACTION IN EXECUTIVE SESSION
Finally, it is critical to know that even when a subject is
authorized for discussion in executive session, no action may
be taken on the subject in executive session. A public body is-.
subject to the open meetings law must always take its action L_
open session. This does not mean that the public body may
agree in executive session on what the result shall be and then
return to open session to formalize it. It means that the actual
decision on what action is to be taken shall be made in open
session. This is admittedly a difficult thing to accomplish and
even more difficult to enforce. However, one can be confident
that if a court ever concluded that action was predetermined in
an executive session and merely formalized in open session, it
would find that the open meetings act had been violated.
The various exceptions to the open meetings act require a
thoughtful analysis by the public body before their use. The ex-
ceptions are limited and the procedure for proper use of the ex-
ceptions is technical. Our Supreme Court has said many times
that it will construe the exceptions to the open meetings act
very narrowly, as contrasted with the broad interpretation it
gives to the applicability of the act. In these days, the courts,
the press, and the public are keenly aware of the general re-
quirements of the open meetings act. In light of this, a wise
public body will attempt to accomplish as much of its business
as possible in the public eye. It will resort to executive sessions
only when truly necessary- and only after scrupulously follow-
ing all of the technical requirements for a proper executive
session. q
SALES TAX AUDITS
Susan L. Christ
Sales Tax Administrator
City/Borough of Juneau
In the October 1, 1986, issue of The Municipal Adviser Mr.
John Bost (Mikunda, Cottrell & Co.) wrote an article on
"Sales Tax". In his article he said he did not know of a city
that conducted its own audits of sales tax returns. My com-
ments are directed to your readers to inform them that the City
and Borough of Juneau has a sales tax staff of three —an ad-
ministrator, an auditor and a tax clerk. As a team, we conduct
250 to 300 audits a year.
Upon general direction from the sales tax administrator, the
field auditor selects accounts to be audited. Categories of selec-
tion are:
• new businesses within their first year of operation
• accounts which are going out of business or changing hands
• delinquent accounts
• trade categories
• random selection
Our objectives are to ensure that the tax ordinance is uniformly
enforced, to encourage accurate reporting and remittance, and
to promote proper collection by enhancing the merchants'
understanding of the requirements and interpretations of the
law as it pertains to his business.
Our program has been successful both in terms of tax dollars
recovered and increased merchant cooperation. It is our feeling
that the merchants will collect the tax correctly if they under- 1
stand how it is to be applied. It is through our audit program 1

LOCAL HIRE
�arely have two words provoked so much emotional response
Alaska. Ask ten people on the street in Alaska as to what
'local hire" mans to them and you'll likely get ten sermons
on the evil of "outsiders". "carpetbaggers", etc. The emotions
wrapped up in the local hire issue reflects a deep conviction
among Alaskans as to the role of local governments in local
economics.
SUPREME COURT RULING
Perhaps the most accurate description of the beliefs that
underlie the local hire issue is that "...the purpose of the
Local Hire Law is to exclude non-tesidents from public con-
struction jobs so that more jobs will be available to Alaskans."
(Robison v. Francis, 713 P2d 239 Op. No. 3011 AK Jan. 17,
1986) Unfortunately, the Alaska Supreme Court followed this
comment with the following:
In our view this is not a permissible justification
for discrimination under the privileges and im-
munities clause.
The purpose of this article is to try to unravel some of the
various threads that make up the "Local Hire" issue and then
suggest some practical mans by which the underlying objec-
tives sought by local hire proponents may be met.
DUAL PURPOSE FUNDING
There has been a concern for some time in Alaska, especially
'during the days of massive capital projects, that dollars spent
build projects in Alaska should be paid to Alaskan
.esidents. In other words, the dollars spent on a capital project
ought to have two benefits for the local community: 1) to con-
struct the needed facility; and 2)To boost the local economy
through infusion of funds. This approach is not much different
than that taken during the WPA days of the Great Depression,
where "pump priming" and public works projects were viewed
as not only providing needed facilities, but actually as a means
of decreasing unemployment.
Thus, the Alaskan Local Hire issue is at its very roots, an ef-
fort to do two things with the public's construction dollar to
build projects and, at the same time, to promote the local
economy. It is in the second area that the controversies have
arisen.
There is little question that public dollars can be spent to pro-
mote local economies. Harbors, airports, convention centers,
trade missions, low interest business loans are all traditional
methods whereby the public's money is spent to promote the
private sector. In Alaska especially, the economic model of
governmental neutrality or non-interference with the private
sector simply hasn't been applied. Although extremely proud
of their frontier individualistic spirit. Alaskans have perhaps
had more governmental influence and intervention in the
economy than any other state in the Union. Where else can
you rind governmental operation of railroads, joint ventures
between cities and private entities, loan programs that are sub-
sidies to business, preferential or discounted leases and ar-
rangements between local governments and "new and
heneficial" industries?
"i ite local hire issue is just a logical extension of the Alaskan
experience of using public funds to establish or, more recently
to preserve, a viable economy. V
L
THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONFLICT
The problem with the extension of governmental influence into
providing a preference for "local hire" is that the preference
for local residents can run afoul a basic U.S. constitutional
right --the privileges and immunities clause. Just a year ago the
Alaska Supreme Court held in the case quoted above that an
Alaskan State statute which required work on public construc-
tion projects to be performed by Alaskan residents violated
that constitutional provision. The Court held that the privilege
to enter another state for the purpose of employment is a fun-
damental right; and, because it is a fundamental right, it can
only be abridged if there is a substantial reason to justify the
individt-al state's action and if the mans employed by the
statute closely relate to the interest served by the statute. In
other words. on one hand we have the individual rights of each
citizen, and on the other there must be a substantial state in-
terest which is enforced by a statute closely relating to the in-
terest being protected. So far, the court has been unwilling to
find the state has met its burden of outweighing the in-
dividual's right to travel. Thus, probably the universally ac-
cepted motivation for local hire legislation is unacceptable
under the Constitution. So what's a government to do?
THE LEGISLATION SOLUTION
The response of the Alaska Legislature was to attempt to dr-
cumvent the Alaska Supreme Court's ruling by enacting legisla-
tion that would only permit a local hire preference where there
was some "peculiar evil", i.e., high unemployment, and that
hiring of non-residents was the "source" of a peculiar evil.
As a result of this attempt to formulate a plan that would per-
mit local hire preferences, the Alaska Department of Labor has
been working on developing regulations which would subdivide
the state into various economic zones, analyze whether the
zone had a peculiarly high rate of unemployment, social pro-
blems attributable to lack of employment. and local unemploy-
ment caused by non-residents taking available jobs.
The problem is that it is fairly certain that, as the Alaska
Supreme Court has indicated, it will be taking a hard line in
reviewing any local hire statutes. The flexibility provided under
the proposed regulations and the creation of zones may be the
only way to survive the constitutional attack. But, keep in
mind that the underlying purpose of the local hire provisions.
at least in the minds of Alaskans, is to have Alaskan money
that is spent on Alaskan projects go to Alaskan residents.
THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT ISSUE
At the local government level the issue becomes even more dif-
ficult. Most residents of a particular community will probably
be just as upset about not getting a job on a local government
construction project of whether the job is taken by an "out-
sider" who is a resident of another state or an "outsider" who
is a resident of another Alaskan community. "Local" in this
context doesn't mean "Alaskan it means the local
community —the city, the village, perhaps the borough, but cer-
tainly not the whole state.
Is it even theoretically possible, then, to have a local hire or-
dinance at the local governmental level that would survive a
constitutional attack? Perhaps, but many communities are
aware of the huge costs associated with defending such an or-
dinance from constitutional attack and are: therefore, reluctant
to pass a local hire ordinance when the only virtually certain
outcome is that it will provide employment for the local city
attorney.

PRACTICAL APPROACHES
There are other ways to accomplish the same results. None by
itself perhaps has the impact of a local hire ordinance; but,
taken together they can provide a reasonable method for get-
ting local projects built by local residents.
Some of the methods that can be used are as follows:
1. Advertisements for bid. Businesses that are out of state or
not local won't bid public projects they don't know abuut.
Although many large companies subscribe to various local
publications, most smaller companies do not. On relatively
small projects there usually is no requirement to advertise
throughout the State. Depending on local ordinance provisions
and any requirements which may be imposed by the State or
Federal Government if the project involves funding from those
entities, advertisement "in a newspaper or other publication of
general circulation" is normally considered sufficient notice.
So. why advertise in state-wide publications or out-of-state
publications for local projects. Of course, it is essential to
realize that the reason for wide publication of public projects is
to attract the most qualified contractor in terms of experience
and cost. To the extent that a project is not widely publicized,
the community runs the risk of not securing the most qualified
bidder. But to local communities constructing "routine" pro-
jects, it may well be that the local contractors are qualified
and, even if a little more expensive, the community may be
willing to pay the added costs for the perceived benefits of
local hire.
2. Phasing of projects. Too often the local contractors can't
bid local projects because they're "too big". Phasing of pro-
jects in different distinct sub -projects can help by providing a
series of relatively small projects that can be bid by local con-
tractors. The risk a community runs in phasing a project is that
the phases won't be compatible or on time —in other words,
project ends up a mess. One way to avoid this is to take suffi-
cient time to plan a project out over a period of time such that
there is a time lag between phases. For example. in a street
upgrade project the phases might be: 1) planning and engineer-
ing; 2) acquisition of rights -of -way; 3) clearing; 4) rough
grading; S) final grading; 6) paving; 7) installation of signs.
and so on. Thus. a project which, under normal bidding pro-
cedures would be expected to be awarded to a general contrac-
tor could be divided amongst seven smaller contractors.
3. Local construction management. Local communities can
supervise their own construction projects. For example, the city
could hire an additional staff engineer (who was or would
become a local resident) to perform some of the functions nor-
mally done by the project engineering firth (usually not a local
business). A word of caution about this approach, however. To
the extent that a local community undertakes local construction
management, it assumes a number of risks under the project.
Faulty specifications, faulty inspection work, failure to be
responsive to the contractors' requests, etc., can all mean the
local government may have substantial claims on the project.
Naturally. the larger the project the bigger the potential claims.
4. Force account work. Most local communities can handle
small projects on a force account basis. This means that the
local government uses an existing local contractor to do work
beyond the original contract scope.
U
S. Use of the local government public works department. There
is no prohibition to local governments handling local projects
through the existing public works department. To the extent
that the government hires local residents to perform the wort -
this is one way of getting "local hire".
6. Waiver of bonding requirements. Some smaller local projects
can be built by local contractors without the requirements of
bid or construction bonding (AS 36.23.025). This ability is
often overlooked in Alaska. Substitutes for bonds can be
found, and exemptions can be made that would permit smaller
local contractors to be competitive.
7. Requests for Proposals rather than bids. It is difficult. and
possibly risky, for the council to hire a local contractor when
an "outsider" has a lower bid. One way to avoid this problem,
if local ordinances permit, is to request proposals from con-
tractors rather than bids. Then, in the proposal evaluation pro•
cess a number of factors can be taken into consideration, not
just price. Although we suspect it might be difficult to justify
the selection of one proposer over another solely on the basis
that one is "local", there usually are a number of different
criteria for selection. Of course, the risk here again is that the
public may not get "the most project for the least amount of
money"; but, to the extent that local hire is viewed as essen-
tial. that risk might reasonably be taken.
8. Union contracts. Local communities that have collective
bargaining agreements with unions should be careful when it
comes time to negotiate "hiring hall" or other provisions
whereby the union, not the local government, performs the hir-
ing function. If the local community must take whoever the
union sends, the union may well send outsiders. This is
especially frustrating if there are qualified local residents wh,0
for one reason or another either aren't members of the union
or aren't "on the list". One approach that will protect the
union from losing control would be to provide for "union
security". i.e., employees hired must become members of the
union; but the hiring process would be left in the hands of the
employer.
9. Jawboning. Although not normally recognized as a tactic,
the establishment of a continual and close scrutiny of existing
projects coupled with political statements can have an impact.
If the governing body makes it clear publicly that "local hire"
is important and it takes steps to monitor projects to see if
"local hire" is actually taking place, it can produce enough
political pressure that contractors themselves will give
preference to local residents. On virtually all state -funded pro-
jects, certified payrolls are required and it isn't that difficult
for the local government administration to monitor who is
working on the projects. Most contractors want to maintain a
goot rapport with the local government and if that governmen-
tal body and administration make it clear that local hire is im-
portant to the community, then some positive results can be
reached.
MAKING THE BEST OF IT
Although the concept of local hire still has appeal from a
legislative standpoint, we wonder whether it is reasonable to
expect a legislative solution. Perhaps a better approach is to
use the above techniques to accomplish some of the same
IL
results. Because those techniques do not have the constitutio
problems of the legislative approach. they may yield a more
favorable result in the long run. ■

PRE -AUDIT PREPARATION
A USEFUL AND COST EFFECTIVE
APPROACH TO A REQUIRED
PROCESS
William C. Dobbins, Senior Accountant
Mikunda. Cottrell & Co.
Over the last two years the Federal Government and the State
of Alaska have increased audit requirements on grants, con-
tracts, revenue sharing, and other forms of financial assistance.
The greatest impact of this trend is that certain entities, small
cities included, are required to be audited for the first time.
There are many uncertainties in the minds of governmental
managers as they face their first financial and compliance
audits. These uncertainties are much easier to face when there
is knowledge of how to prepare for the upcoming audit.
FOCUS ON THE BASICS
The audit will become an annual or biennial fact of life for
most small cities. With proper preparation, the audit will be a
positive and helpful management tool as well as a fulfillment
of regulatory requirements. A CPA film is able to provide a
properly prepared client with quality audit services and useful
management advisement. The process for an unprepared entity
is generally inure expensive and less understood by manage-
ment. The preparation focus for the initial audit should be on
the basics. Complete financial and grant records are essential
for a cost effective audit.
'Four basic financial functions are essential to a smooth audit
process.
1. Establish formal policies and procedures for all major ac-
counting areas: the revenue cycle, the purchasing cycle, and
payroll.
2. Record all disbursements and revenues at the time they oc-
cur, preferably in a system of journals and carried through
to a general ledger.
3. Maintain source documentation files. Alphabetical vendor
riles and monthly revenue files must be established to
organize support documentation. Vendor files should in-
clude purchase requisition, purchase order, receiving report,
check request, and check copy. Revenue files should include
copic of checks or remittance vouchers attached to the
valiclued deposit slips indicating prompt deposit in the Ci-
ty's bank account. Payroll files must contain employee
history including pay rate authorization, Fort W-4. approv-
ed tiinesheets, and payroll action form authorizing
miscellaneous employee withholdings.
4. Verify the accuracy of the entries. Two good examples of
checks on the accuracy of the accounting system are recon-
ciling monthly bank accounts, and agreeing balances in sub-
sidiary journals such as accounts receivable with the general
ledger balance.
GRANT FILE ORGANIZATION
Centralized and well organized grant files will be a focal point
of the auditor's required compliance work. A suggested ap-
roach to this area is filing all documents related to each grant
individual multi -section file folders. This approach allows
budget modifications, correspondence, reimbursement requests.
financial reports, and documentation of major expenditures
each in a separate section.
READ AND FOLLOW GRANT REQUIREMENTS
Specific compliance requirements are often spelled out in grant
documents. These should be followed and documented by city
personnel as they are obvious checklists for the compliance
audit. There are also general requirements such as wage and
equal employment requirements that will be tested. Disorgan-
ized files do not preclude these tests for compliance. They do,
however, prove to be obstacles which increase the likelihood of
non-compliance and increase auditing costs.
The audit is a source of management information. The auditor
will evaluate internal controls and provide suggestions to
enhance control over cash flow, investments, etc. Observations
on the entity's chart of accounts and budget variations will aid
budget development and control. Self -evaluation and prepara-
tion will locate some areas requiring correction prior to the
audit and increase responsiveness to audit suggestions. The key
is to keep it simple. Start with the basics and approach the
audit process with a goal of continual improvement. Avoid the
cumbersome, resented and expensive audit with proper
preparation. ■

MUNICIPAL LAW LIBRARY
UPDATE
We are attempting to expand our burgeoning municipal law
library to include personnel regulations, position descriptions

act), we urge you to forward copies of this personnel informa-
tion to us. We will compile a list of participants and make sure
you receive a copy. This information will then be available for
review and comparison under the same terms as the municipal
codes. ■

LIABILITY OF PUBLIC
OFFICIALS
Donna P. Walker
Associate
Public service on local councils, commissions and boards offers
vast opportunities for leadership, decision making and com-
munity involvement. Of comparable vastness, however, are the
potential legal entanglements one faces in serving in a public
capacity. This is a growing area of concern for public officials,
particularly in light of the increasing difficulty in obtaining
liability insurance coverage for such officials. Suits against
public officials are on the rise, particularly in the areas of tort,
contract and civil rights. As theories of liability expand and
cases multiply, insurance coverage becomes more difficult to
procure, thereby increasing the personal liability exposure of
individuals who publicly serve. Caught in this tangled web is
the individual drawn to public service often for no, or little,
compensation who suddenly finds himself a defendant in a
lawsuit. Without liability insurance he has no alternative but to
assume his own costs of defense and bear full responsibility for
any judgments awarded.
LIMITING PUBLIC OFFICIALS LIABILITY
In Alaska, municipalities, their agents, officers and employees
are given statutory immunity in a number of limited areas.
These include the performance or failure to perform a discre-
tionary function or duty; the granting or denying of licenses,
permits, re -zoning or other entitlements; and the failure to in-
spect for, discover or abate statutory or code violations, or
health or safety hazards on private property (AS 09.65.070).
Additionally, a recently -enacted statute provides that unless a
public official's act or omission to act in the course and scope
of official duties constitutes gross negligence, tort damages for
personal injury, death or damage to property cannot be
recovered from that individual (AS 09.17.050). Although these
statutory provisions go a long way in limiting the liability of
public officials, they do not foreclose all potential avenues of
exposure, particularly in the growing area of civil rights litiga-
tion. In these areas of immunity and limited liability, suits can
still be filed that must be defended, if only to be summarily
dismissed upon motion by the defendant because of the
statutory protections. Having to expend even a relatively small
amount for attorney's fees in such situations could prove
financially burdensome to many who serve voluntarily or for
small recompense in a public capacity.
CODE PROVISIONS REQUIRING DEFENSE
This bald exposure to defense costs and potential judgments
can be a gross deterrent to many who might otherwise feel in-
clined to hold public office. To assure that individuals in the
good faith performance of their public duties do not expose
their personal assets to the threat of litigation, some Alaskan
cities already have code provisions requiring the local govern-
ment to defend and indemnify individuals while serving on
councils, boards and commissions. Other cities may wish to
consider enacting such provisions. There is a great deal of
latitude in drafting such provisions. Each city may make its
own determination of the extent to which it will defend and in-
demnify its officials. Traditionally, loval governments have
drawn the line at not defending and indemnifying where the of-
ficial has acted intentionally or maliciously, and in most in-
stances will not pay any punitive damages assessed against the
official. This would appear to be the most sound and most
equitable approach. In order to attract qualified individuals to
serve the public, focal governments should be ready and willing
to stand behind them when they are sued for having acted in
the course and within the scope of their duties. However, a city
may not desire to (and public policy may very well dictate
r
against) indemnifying public officials when they act with iU
motive or malicious intent in the name of public service.
Therefore, any indemnity ordinance must strike a balance that
will encourage public service by protecting personal assets, an
will also encourage public servants to perform their duties ;
scientiously and in good faith. ■
EMPLOYEE RECORDS,
EMPLOYEE PRE -HIRE
INQUIRIES, EMPLOYEE PRIVACY
Kathleen O. Anderson
Legal Assistant/Arbitrator
EMPLOYEE RECORDS
Alaska's employers are required to keep employee records
relating to many aspects of employment. Under AS 23.10.100.
records relating to name, address, occupation, rate of pay.
amount paid each pay period, hours worked, etc. are to be
kept not less than three years. Under 6 AAC 30.810. records
relating to race, age, sex, position description, classification
studies, payroll data, personnel files and other records kept "in
the ordinary course of business" are to be kept for each and
every employee and employee applicant for a period of two
years.
Various statutes of limitation may dictate the necessity of keep-
ing records longer. We recommend that employee records. as
above, be kept not less than seven years. We also suggest
maintenance of a computerized or manual register of past
employees, recording name, address, social security number.
date of hire, date of termination, etc.
EMPLOYEE APPLICATIONS
The retention of such records, especially those of employee ap-
plicants, may run afoul of other laws. rules and regulations.
For example, the Anchorage Equal Rights Commission
(AERC) has drafted "Guidelines for Employers — Pre -
Employment Inquiries" outlining inappropriate pre-
employment inquiries. Many questions relating to matters such
as citizenship, arrest records, relatives, physical handicaps and
economic status may be unlawful unless based on a "legitimate
job need". We would suggest utilizing an application for
employment that leaves response to such questions optional.
EMPLOYEE PRIVACY
Many potential problems exist for the employer with respect to
maintaining employee privacy. For example, information given
in response to inquiries about past or current employees s►..:ald
be limited to name, position held, date hired and date ter-
minated, in order to avoid possible claims of defamation.
While many states have promulgated restrictive laws on the
scope of employee privacy. Alaska's laves are unclear.
Therefore, need for caution exists, especially in light of case
law and certain federal regulations.
Some issues you should be aware of -- no Alaska employer is
permitted to require a polygraph examination for employment
purposes (AS 23.10.037). the legality of inspecting employee
lockers is questionable, "free speech" of public employees may
be a constitutional right, required drug and alcohol tests may
be an infringement on privacy.

WHITTIER
"UNIQUE, EVEN IN ALASKA"
When a prior Whittier city manager added the phrase "Uni-
que, Even in Alaska" to the City letterhead, one wonders
whether she was contemplating the climate, housing, land
ownership, transportation access. its people ... or even look-
ing ahead with foresight to Whittier's future development
plans.
The city withstood a flood in 1948. a fire in 1953, and the 1964
earthquake. Not a lot of local eyebrows are lifted when one
talks of 84-foot seasonal snowfalls and winds that keep people
indoors for weeks at a time and blow those not exercising the
"buddy system" from the harbor floats. Add to this list of
natural disasters and harsh elements an intense communal liv.
ing atmosphere and the constant inconveniences visited upon
the residents by The Alaska Railroad's historical and con-
sistently poor "on -time" record. Enduring, and often enjoying
these elements common to their surroundings, Whittier's 300
plus residents display what could almost be described as a pen-
chant for adaptability and testing one's survival skills.
Whittier does have a history which precedes WW 11 days;
however, it was the military base development at this northern-
most ice -free port in the 1940s that focused attention on the
community and impacts its growth even today. The buildings
constructed by the Army during the war years now provide the
majority of housing and commerical space available in Whit-
tier. And, the method in which the Army disposed of its land
holdings continues to stifle community control of its growth
and development.
CITY STATUS
Construction funding for a small boat harbor provided the im-
petus for Whittier to make the transition from an unincor-
porated community to a fourth class municipality in 1969.
Then, with the changes in Title 29, the City was reclassified as
a second class city in 1972.
Although for years residents have considered the pros and cons
of being annexed to Anchorage, the recent, growing discussion
of formation of a Prince William Sound borough, to include
Cordova, Valdez and Whittier. has expanded their options and
is the topic of much debate.
LAND OWNERSHIP AND USE
In 1973 the U.S. Army abandoned the majority of its holdings
in Whittier and the federally -owned railroad was granted first
selection rights, claiming virtually all the waterfront and adja-
cent uplands. Being third in line after State selections, the Ar-
my found the City an anxious purchaser when it offered for
sale the Buckner and Hodge (later renamed the Begich Towers)
buildings. A 5250,000 bond issue financed purchase of the
structures, thus allowing the City to emerge as something more
than just a paper entity.
The Buckner Building was sold to a private developer in 1977.
Unfortunately, the planned reconstruction has not taken place
and the building currently sits in a state of disrepair, visible
from throughout the community. To most residents this condi-
tion seems preferable to the earlier publicized attempt to
market the Buckner Building as the State's maximum security
prison. Residents cite the confined quarters of the City and the
impact of having the number of incarcerated individuals exceed
the rest of the population as the reasons for not supporting the
leaseholder's attempts to secure the prison contract.
The City marketed Begich Towers as condominium units. Now
home to anywhere from 60 to 800Io of the population, the City
continues to hold the escrows on the individual units. The
ground floor houses the city offices, post office, museum, a
beauty shop, grocery store and small restaurant. A tunnel from
the Towers to the school facility keeps many from having to
brave the weather during the winter months.

The City exercises planning, platting and land use powers. The
Planning and Zoning Commission finished work on a new sub-
division ordinance in 1985. With building, plumbing and elec-
trical codes, as well as building permit requirements. the City
has established the guidelines for controlled development.
However, there is still the haunting problem of land ownership.
The Alaska Railroad and U.S. government are the major land
barons in Whittier, leaving less than 10% of the developable
land available for private use. To find a single-family
residence, one must drive out the road a few miles to find a
cabin located on private property (no running water, no elec-
tricity). After years of looking out their windows and seeing
prime land lay vacant due to The Alaska Railroad's control,
Whittier has turned its focus to development of the Emerald
Cove and Shotgun Cove areas.
In 1984 the State awarded Whittier 600 plus acres from 7 to 9
miles out the road and Whittier is staking its future on this
area. An RFP to develop Emerald Cove was published in trade
journals world-wide and has sparked international interest.
With a December 31, 1986. deadline for submittal, the City an-
ticipated an interesting mix of responses, including some from
foreign developers.
CITY ADMINISTRATION
Not new to city government, but new with a gavel, Mayor
Georgia Buck oversees a municipality which provides essential
services to its residents. City government is financed locally by
a 5 mil property tax and 309 sales tax. The council is composed
of long-term residents as well as newly -elected members who
have lived in the community less than two years. With an
estimated 25% turnover in population annually, it follows that
almost all of the residents of Whittier who have been there for
any length of time have served one or more terms on the
governing body.
Following up his position as the first full-time administrator
for Thorne Bay, Dr. Courtland Ofelt accepted the position as
Whittier City Manager this past August. Past Alaskan ex-
periences have been in the area of education/school administra-
tion in Kodiak and Nenana. With more than a quarter of a

million people passing through Whittier each year (ferry and
cruise ship patrons). Dr. Ofelt is charged with the challenge to
find a way to derive revenue from the operations and passage
of people over the docks not owned by the City.
CITY SERVICES
Although the wells are owned by The Alaska Railroad. the Ci-
ty provides the local water service. Tests have shown that near-
ly twice as much water is pumped over and above what is used.
Major line damaa.: appears to h-ve been caused by the 1964
earthquake and repair is on the City's long-term priority list.
Sewer service is in the form of a modified settling tank system
with deep water discharge. Because of the lack of an acceptable
landfill site, the City provides refuse disposal in the form of an
incinerator. In addition to these responsibilities, the public
works department also maintains approximately 9 miles of
largely unimproved roads. dealing with dust control in the
summer and snow removal in the winter. Headquarters for the
public works crew is in a city -owned building shared with a
private seafood processing entity and the U.S. Army.
The public safety staff is composed of a police chief and one
officer. Emergency services include an ambulance capable of
running on the railroad tracks. Although there are no doctors
in Whittier, the City operates a clinic staffed by a physician
assistant. The volunteer fire department operates from a fire
station situated on land owned by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service. The fire station building also houses the public safety
staff and the magistrate's offices which serve double duty as
the city council chambers.
Electrical service is supplied by Chugach Electric. With outages
common, all of the major buildings have back-up generators;
additionally, the City operates a number of emergency
generators.
The State-owned small boat harbor is leased to the City and
manned by City staff. The 332-berth facility accommodates in
excess of 400 vessels at the present time. Review of the current
renters and the 4-year waiting list bears witness to the fact that
it is Anchorage residents who tax the current capabilities of the
facility. The Harbor Commission and a separate Port Commis-
sion make recommendations to council on harbor operations
and port development. Recently, the City was successful in its
effort to lease Railroad land adjacent to the harbor; it will be
made available for sublease to local merchants.

students with some protection from the weather. The new gym-
nasium is the "pride and joy" of the residents and head-
quarters for an active community school program.
LOCAL SERVICES
In addition to the commercial businesses located on the first
floor of the Becich Towers. there are three additional grocery
stores and two restaurant/bar/hotel establishments which func-
tion as local gathering centers (one also serves as the "bank').
The gas station ansists of tanks/pumps in the small boat har-
bor area, owned by the City but leased to a private operator.
Three fish processing plants operate on a seasonal basis. Com-
mercial services are not extensive because most residents travel
to Anchorage to do the majority of their shopping.
Television and radio reception are available but limited. The ci.
ty is currently looking forward to an upgrade in its telephone
service by use of a two-way microwave dish.
TRANSPORTATION
Joining land ownership as a factor which limits Whittier's
development,growth and to Portage, and,
thus Anchorage and the r t of SouthcentralAlaska.forces
Whittier to operate within the confines of The Alaska
Railroad's train schedule. Whittier residents may disagree on
many issues but they are united in affirming that the service
provided by the Railroad when it was an entity of the Federal
Government, although not great, was superior to the service
they now receive from the State -run entity.
In the second attempt in as many years, Whittier is lobbying
for legislative passage of a bill which would authorize a toll'
authority to construct a road extension from Portage to the
community. Not only could travelers come and go on their
own schedules, most feel that the toll necessary to pay off the
construction debt and maintain the road would be much less
than the current Railroad fees. One long-term resident has
calculated that if the same per -mile fee charged to travel from
Whittier to Portage were charged from San Francisco to New
York, the tab would be in excess of $3,000 — and let's not
discuss the time it would take to get there! But residents are
forthright in stating that the road will be built not when they
want it but, rather, when Anchorage residents demand better.
more reliable access to their boats, to the excellent diving and
other marine -related recreational activities. and to the ferry
which runs regularly to Valdez and Cordova.
THEFUTURE
The City is currently in the process of finalizing plans for
development of a full -service camper park on land located near
the school and leased from the Railroad. It is expected that
commercial activity will be greatly stimulated by the 17 retail
parcels near the existing small boat harbor which have just
recently been made available for sublease.
The Army has publicized plans to greatly increase the size of
its tank farm. it is unknown how much this expansion will im-
pact the local economy, but it is a clear indication that the
pipeline running from Whittier to Anchorage, supplying all the
aviation fuel to Elmendorf AFB will continue to act as the
lifeline for Alaska's air defense.
Initial discussion of formation of a Prince William Sound
borough has led to a formation of a coalition of Whit-
tier/Valdez/Cordova leaders who are working together to
enhance common commercial and recreational interests and
cultivate what could be called a triangle tourist trade. +

L
Whittier (con-t.)
By the time this article is published. Whittier will have had a
chance to review the proposals for development of the Emerald
Cove and Shotgun Cove areas. The development is expected to
tclude a small boat harbor at Shotgun Cove, single-family
residences and multi -family structures to accommodate
seasonal traffic.
Whittier is in somewhat of a Catch-22, chicken/egg dilemma
with the Emerald/Shotgun Cove development and the road to
Portage. Some feel there is not adequate justification for the
road until more land is opened up for development and addi-
tional vessel moorage is made available. Others feel that the
demand for additional developable land and moorage will not
come to pass until easier access to Whittier is available. in
either event, there appears to be no disagreement that these
two issues are of the highest priority for Whittier residents.
And, as one local leader states, to live in Whittier peacefully
one must learn the an of disagreeing without being
disagreeable. The friendly community exudes the mastery of
this art.
CONSENT AGENDAS
A PROCEDURE TO STREAMLINE
COUNCIL MEETINGS
JoAnne E. Yerkes, CMC
Legal Assistant
�w will dispute the theory that the more hours required to
nclude council business, the less effective become the deci-
sions made during those late -night hours. There is probably
some correlation here to the law of diminishing returns. Many
cities are enacting ordinances which prohibit official action
after the midnight hour.
The consent agenda (or calendar) is one procedure which is be-
ing used by a number of communities of varying sizes
throughout the State to efficiently deal with complex agendas
in a manageable time frame. A consent agenda is nothing more
than a listing of items presented to council, each indicating the
administration's recommended action. With enabling legisla-
tion, the council may act upon the entire list by a single mo-
tion.
Items which lend themselves to placement on the consent agen-
da are items considered of a routine nature, such as reports
submitted for council information, claims and bills which are
budgeted expenses, correspondence which can be handled by an
administrative response, and alcoholic beverage license
renewals. Some consent agendas even include such items as bid
awards. ordinances for introduction, and resolutions.
CODE AMENDMENT REQUIRED
To initiate a consent agenda procedure. a city should amend
the section of its code which sets forth the order of business
for council meetings. For example:
I. Call to Order
11. Roll Call
I11. Approval of Minutes
IY. Approval of Consent and Regular Ateeting Agendas
\•A
AGENDA FORMAT
Items on the consent agenda follow the printed regular agenda,
oftentimes as an attachment thereto. A familiar format is:
City Manager's
Item Recommendation
1. XYZ bill for May 1986. i.. Approve for payment and file
the amount of $278.65
2. May 15, 1986, letter from Direct city clerk to forward
John Green regarding requested information
zoning
3. Planning a-d Zoring For information and file
Commission mating minutes
of May 3, 1996
This procedure does not preclude the council from removing an
item from the consent agenda and placing it under the ap-
propriate portion of the regular agenda for full consideration
and discussion. The motion approving the consent and regular
mating agendas "as amended" would accomplish the move.
MINUTES PREPARATION
When the city clerk prepares the minutes of the meeting, each
item on the consent agenda is listed as if acted upon individual-
ly by the council. For example:
IV. Approval of Consent and Regular Meeting Agendas
It was moved by Jones, seconded by Smith and
unanimously carried by all those present to approve the
consent and regular meeting agendas as presented. and the
following actions were taken:
1. XYZ bill for May 1986. in the amount of $279.65, was
approved for payment and filed.
2. May 15, 1986, letter from John Green regarding zon-
ing was noted. The city clerk was directed to forward the
requested information to Green.
The consent agenda provides the necessary record that council
acted upon a specific item without demanding the time for in-
dividual motions. The procedure allows the council to spend
more time focusing on the critical issues facing the city by effi-
ciently responding to the routine matters.

3. PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD
Ron Sexton and Dan Sexton, Trinity Greenhouse.
4. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - January 13, 1987
Minutes approved as presented.
5. OLD BUSINESS
Dan Sexton spoke on the concern of the committee with
reference to circle planters. With the information he
had, he determined that the soil may have too much sand
and nutrients that it contained, may be flowing
through. He suggested bringing in a sample of the soil
from the planters to the greenhouse and he could better
determine the problem. The problem would be in the
soil, not the planter itself. It was also suggested
that the soil may be in need of Vita -Grow that is
designed for containers.
BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE
January 27, 1987
Page -2-
Director McGillivray asked about the price of Vita -
Grow. Mr. Sexton indicated approximately $9 .00 per
cubic foot, which is at cost. It was determined that
approximately fourteen bags would be needed. Probably
about $126.00 per circle planter.
Also suggested, was to insert cedar, boards or
something of that nature, to create a bottom to
planters and add peat to existing soil. That is if
soil is determined to have proper growing ingredients.
Another area discussed was the Airport Triangle and
Welcome to Kenai sign. Mr. Ron Sexton suggested some
type of floral display. Councilwoman Bailie stated
that the sign location would need something that
requires the barest amount of maintenance. Mr. Sexton
suggested some type of evergreen with perhaps some lava
rock as ground cover and for larger areas Livingstone
daisies, which requires low maintenance. Ground cloth
cover was brought into the discussion for Airport
Triangle, which lasts for up to five years and doesn't
allow weeds to grow through.
A plant list was handed out to each committee member,
and discussed further. Questions and answers followed
regarding the various plants.
Chairman Wisniewski asked if money had been allocated
for the Triangle or is it within the budget. Director
McGillivray indicated there was money that would be
available out of the project fund for Airport Way.
Approximately six to eight thousand dollars, however,
this was for trees, shrubs, grass and soil. Limited on
flowers.
Councilwoman Bailie suggested that contact be made with
Suzanne Little to coordinate project, which is needed.
Ms. Little indicated earlier that she was willing to
donate her time and expertise to the project and she is
well qualified.
Chairman Wisniewski indicated that at this time, the
BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE
January 27, 1987
Page -3-
colors need to be decided. He asked each committee
members to get their ideas together for next meeting so
a decision could be made and an order placed. The
order needs to be made by March 1st,
Planning Specialist suggested that since the boxes and
circles have pretty well been discussed, the committee
may want to experiment with the Kale since the Triangle
strip would not be on line until late in the year and
work some flowers in at different points.
Memorial Park was brought into discussion. Mr. Sexton
passed out a'brochure of a type of plaque that may be
useful for the Memorial Park. This will be addressed
at the next meeting.
Mr. Sexton wanted the committee to know that a lady
tourist had come into his business and commented to him
that Kenai was the prettiest city, by far, in the State
of Alaska.
Chairman Wisniewski stated the budget would be
discussed at next meeting. He indicated that
approximately $700.00 would be needed for soil.
Director McGillivray indicated he would meet with Dan
and Ron Sexton again to further discuss the areas.
Director McGillivray had nothing to report at this
time. He is working on the budget which has to be
submitted by 2/14/87.
Specialist Loper had nothing to report on the banner.
She said that Suzanne Little had been ill.
Councilwoman Bailie was concerned about the money
appropriated for the banner through Federal Revenue
Sharing. Specialist Loper would check with Charlie
Brown,
Councilwoman Bailie reported to the committee that
Mayor Williams was concerned with the Off Road Vehicle
Ordinance. He thought it may be too restrictive.
BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE
January 27, 1987
Page -4-
Councilwoman Bailie also indicated that there would be
only seven committee members appointed f or
Beautification. If there are members who wished to be
replaced, then new people would be appointed. There
would not be a high school student appointed as
requested due to the time of day.
It was decided that Memorial Park, Suzanne Little and
Carmen Gintoli should meet with Beautification at the
next meeting. The Hanson's should also be notified.
Chairman Wisniewski brought up the subject of the
quality of water in the City of Kenai. This was
discussed further and comparisons made with other
areas.

2. OLD BUSINESS
a. Calendars. Marj O'Reilly reported that she sent a
letter January 15th and asked for twelve ( 12 )
Bicentennial Calendars. She also gave the address to
the librarian, so she could write for some calendars.
No response as yet.
b. Kits and Placards. Chairman Koerber reported that

e. Chairman Koerber reported he had not received any
information from Washington on date of the National
celebration. It is unknown whether it will be
proclaimed for the whole year, on a special day or
week. Hopefully, by next meeting, will have
information back from Washington Bicentennial
Committee.
f. Location of -Bulletin Boards. Suggested locations;
Mall by Payless, GCI, four schools, Library, City Hall,
Airport, possibly College, Moose. Meat John's Cabin at
Chamber, Vet Center, National Guard Armory and Court
House. There was discussion on the signs being placed
as a permanent structure.
3. NEW BUSINESS
a. Chairman Fanning heard on the radio of a
convention or conference regarding the Anchorage
Bicentennial Constitution Committee. This was to be
held at the Egan Center, however, he did not hear all
the announcement and stated it may be something this
committee would want to look into. Chairman Fanning
would check on this. He asked if there was any money
in the budget to pay for convention fee, should someone
from the committee attend. Chairman Koerber said it
would depend on the time frame of the function.
b. Chairman Koerber asked Committee member Ackerly if
he would check with the carpenter shop at the school
and ask if they would be willing to make up some
billboards to mount kits on when they arrive. There
are twelve kits. They would be placed at schools and
different areas throughout the city. The size is
unknown at this time.
c. Chairman Koerber stated that the newspaper needs
to be contact to place articles regarding the flag and
general information within the Bicentennial year.
Chairman Fanning suggested an article for the Tides.
Also, the library may be a research area for material
on the flag to send to the newspaper. Chairman Koerber
will contact Emily at the Library.

Committee member Ackerly suggested contact with radio
stations, ask them to use flag information on their
trivia questions during Flag Week.
Discussion on the art design for the boarders of the
bulletin boards. Placement of articles and different
ideas were discussed further.
Committee member Ackerly suggested a design contest.
The general consensus was to have a contest with a
Savings Bond of $25.00 as a prize. Committee member
O.'Reilly suggested a slogan contest for elementary
school and design contest for high school. By next
meeting should have kits to put this idea together.
Also, date of contest can be decided.
Further discussion developed around the
send letters to Art Teachers, Principles
and include background information.
COMMITTEE COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS
contest and to
and newspaper
Homer Electric Association was brought into the discussion.
To enhance the enthusiasm regarding the Bicentennial,
electric bills could send a message borough wide advising of
the 1987 Kenai City Bicentennial Celebration. H.E.A. may
also consider putting special dates that the flag should be
flown. It was suggested that Sue Carter may be able to
approach H.E.A. about this. Committee member Carter will be
asked about this at next meeting.
The City of Kenai may also consider sending a message
on the water and sewer bills regarding Bicentennial
Celebration.
Chairman Fanning wanted to acknowledge those who help
with the Bicentennial by putting name or name of
business on display boards. This might be a way of
deferring costs. Discussion on this will be brought up
at next meeting. Committee thought it may be too
commercialized and further discussion was needed.

CITY OF KENAI CHARTER
Chairman Fanning asked Committee member Ackerly to
research the possibility of using Mac Computer and
students at the school to reduce size of City Charter.
He could do more reduction with a camera. This would
allow the whole Charter to be displayed on the board.
It was further suggested that the -people who originally
formed Charter, that are still in area, be contacted
and recognized, along with former Mayors, at the time
of celebration. A special program should be set aside.

It was decided that the next meeting would take place
at City Hall Council Chambers, 2/9/87 at 6:00 p.m.

5. PRESENTATION OF TESTIFIERS AND/OR SPECIALISTS
Chairman O'Reilly explained to the testifiers present,
what the committee is trying to do. Chairman O'Reilly
stated: What we're trying to do, two -fold, first is to
get a snapshot picture of the city's economy. Dealing
with the private sector and the governmental sector.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
January 27, 1987
Page -2
From that, hopefully to be able to determine what is
the condition of the city's economy, what restraints
are on the city's economy, and then from that, the
second stage; this committee's charge with the
responsibility with making a recommendation to the
Mayor and the Council as to whether there should be a
permanent commission of the City that would deal with
economic development matters. And, if so, what form
should that commission take, and what powers and
authorities it should
have. What life it should have.
What membership, etc..
Chairman O'Reilly expressed his appreciation to the
persons present to testify, for coming before the
committee and offer their testimony.
Chairman O'Reilly went on to explain that the committee
had heard from the real estate interests and will be
hearing from the Borough, Borough School and the City,
in regards to tax matters at y�
the next meeting. Work
of the committee should be finished by sometime around
May 1st. All meetings are open and are on public
record,
a. Dave Brenden, Enstar Natural Gas
Mr. Brenden wanted to bring the committee up to the
minute on what Enstar Is position is to Kenai. Your
probably all aware of KUSCO was bought out b Enstar
back in May of 8 y
y 4 Enstar' s operated in Soldotna,
Sterling, North Kenai area. City of Kenai was operated
se eratel b K P
P y y USCO. We purchased them in October of
84. The Public Utility Commission approved that sale
of KUSCO to Enstar with three stipulations. The three
stipulations at that time were that the current rates
would remain in effect. We were to maintain easily
separable records, complete set of Enstar accounts
versus KUSCO accounts. And the City of Kenai remain to
still have the purchase option in August of 87.
There's evidently some question as to the validityof
the o tion that either id
A . t side has agreed to or disagreed
to yet. But, those three conditions have been met.
We've lived with them from that October 84 Commission
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE

ruling. 'Things have been going pretty,well. We're
e
integrating KUSCO into the Soldotna or Enstar system,
We. closed down the Kenai o Y
office, this .August, was met
.with local resistance by the City of Kenai local
citizens. However, it was done just because economy of
scale. We had two duplicate operations in less than
ten miles apart. We had girls in this office and three
girls in Soldotna office now. The two offices were
consolidated. It seems to be operatingwithout a
hitch. Like I said
, there was a little bit of
resistance, but, to the best of my knowledge, it's one
over very well, g
.Then again, in November of 86, Enstar went to the
Commission- with a tariff. filing for a rate increase.
What may be called a purchase gas adjustment increase
KUSCO s contract with Marathon Oil/Union Oil expires
s a twenty
February l.st, 1987. This i p
year contract.
It was written back in 67. Relativelycheap as
cheap as. En p gas,
extremely p g star, at that Commission filing
wanted. to be able to convert the KUSCO customers over
to Ens tar ' s cost of gas, as that, when the contract
with Marathon ran out. To date, that has been approved
PP d
and we will be bringing
over to KUSCO customers to
Enstar rates, effective February lst of 87. What
effect does this have on the community? It's of a
great effect. The Y g
average residential customer's rate
will probably increase in the neighborhood of 40 to
45$, depending on his consumption.
It was asked if this was just in the City. Mr. Brenden
answered that it was just in the City of Kenai, with
the exception of the City of Kenai South of the river
that VIP, Cannery road area, has p
always been part of
Ens tar ' s system. So we're talking, just the Cityof
Kenai, North of the river. A
Average residential user,
40 to 45% increase, Commercial user, that's probably
neighborhood of 50 i
p y
in the nei
g $ increase. Wildwood, t
could go as high as 75%. The reason for this
ly, because of the cheap '
basically, p gas, being replaced by
Enstar' s blended rate of gas. Both companiest Enstar
and KUSCO, back in the early 601s, contracted for gas,
KUSCO had onlythe g
contract and has carried it from 67
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
January 27, 1987
Page -4-
till current. Enstar has been most annually,
throughout the
years, have been purchasing additional
gas. Buy gas
at Kenai field. More recently at the
Beluga field.
The Beaver Creek field. The Pretty
Creek field and the Lewis River field. So we've got
more than one
contract that we're living on, and
enables us to
keep the blended cost of gas below the
current market
value of gas. Some comparisons here,
KUSCO cost of
gas is somewhere in the neighborhood
of .33 ( cents)
an MCF. Enstar' s cost of gas is about
$1.25, an .80
(cent) purchase cost adjustment will be
added onto the
KUSCO customers bill. That will be the
reason for the
40 to 45% increase.
It was asked by Committee Member Elson, if KUSCO
customers will be paying the same thing that the old
Enstar customers in North Kenai or Soldotna.
Mr. Brenden responded, no they won't. They still won't
be up to Enstar's rates, yet. Mr. Brenden worked up a
comparison as to my gas bill. Mr.. Brenden lives in the
City of Soldotna. Last month he burned 300 ccf of gas.
My bill was $98.68, that's if he'd been in the City of
Kenai, under Enstar rates, and includes the 5% Borough
and City tax. If he'd been with KUSCO, burning the old
KUSCO gas, the bill would have been $63.13. The
increase in those two was 56%. so if a KUSCO customer
had gone into an Enstar customer, paid an Enstar rate,
it would have been subject to a 56% increase. But, the
customer's just '
going to an increase cost of gas, is
all Enstar is going for at this time, and that amounts
to a 44.8% increase. As he sees it now, Enstar
probably will want to roll the KUSCO customers into
Enstar customers in August of 87. And subject to the
Public Utilities Commission findings, could be another
rate increase at that time. To bring KUSCO customers up
to where an Enstar customer is, that it was a postage
stamp rates from the Mat -Su Valley, Soldotna, Kenai,
where ever in the Enstar system.
Committee Member Elson asked if pricing different for,
the Soldotna customer and Eagle River.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
January 27, 1987
Page -5-
Mr. . Brenden indicated, no. The system is a postage
stamp rate. A Wasilla customer pays the same as a
Eagle River customers, Anchorage customers, or North
Kenai customer.
Committee Member Thomsom asked what effect this would
have on the 'residential and more specific, the
commercial users. Its seems as though the commercial
users are going to have a higher increase, so the
burden of the increase is going to be put on the
business.
Mr. Brenden stated, only because they are consuming
more gas. Purchased gas adjustment factor base
strictly on the consumption. Your paying the increase
cost of gas,
Committee Member Thomson asked if the percentage rate
wouldn't stay the same, in that case.
Mr,a Brenden: No., because they are using more in
there.., the Enstar, the KUSCO rate structure is such
that there's a dollar value of, the cost gas decreases
as you use more.
Committee Member Thomson: So, therefore the percentage
increase should be less.
Mr. Brenden: Should be more, because, as you use more
gas, at current KUSCO rates, the price comes down. So
when you add a straight additional factor in there, for
the cost gas, it's bringing that increase up.
Chairman O'Reilly asked if Enstar does population
projections, and/or commercial usage projections.
Mr. Brenden: He did not have those figures with him,
as far as consumption per residential and consumption
per commercial dwelling.
Mr . Brenden: He indicated his speech is not too
popular. It's bringing in bad news. 40 to 45%
increase is not good news in bad times. The further
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
January 27, 1987
Page -6-
develope that bad news, our new customer hook-ups,
construction wise this year, is down approximately 50%
over last year. The reason I base that, is the new
service line hook-ups and main line construction. Both
of them are very close to half, compared to 85, and 86
projections that they are going on, basing on more of a
decrease in construction over last year. We ordering
less pipe. Projecting 350 hook-ups this year, down to
possibly 250 hook-ups next year. Thirteen miles of
main addition to down to seven or eight miles of main.
We're not looking for a very good construction season
this year.
Committee Member Elson: Is the cost for a hook-up
different to anyone, today. Someone that's on the
KUSCO system now?
Mr. Brenden: Right, that's part of that, keeping
separate books. We've kept the KUSCO tariff in the
City of Kenai. There's a different cost for hook-up
here, than there is in the Enstar system.
Committee Member bond: More or Less?
Mr. Brenden: Service line costs, about the same. Enstar is
paying $20 .00 for the first 100 feet and $1.00 a foot
thereafter. And a KUSCO first service line, your paying the
first 100 feet for free, and $1.00 a foot thereafter. So
the service line is a relatively inexpensive proposition.
That's if there is main in front of your house. In front of
your property. Getting main line extended to your property
is more expensive in Enstar system. Paying on the average
of $7.50 a foot in the En g
star system, and your given a
credit of $1,550.00 per hook-up. A thousand foot extension
would be $7,500.00 less $850.00 per hook-up, and the balance
of that would be in the form of a deposit. You deposit with
the company and that would be refunded to you within a ten
year period. As additional customers hooked -up, you get the
$850.00 back, up to your original deposit amount. If you
didn't have any customers hook-up in the ten year period
you get your entire amount back after ten years. The
difference with the KUSCO system in that, is about $6*00 per
foot for the main line extension and that's deposited with
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
January 27, 1987
Page -7-
the company and not sure of the credit to the customer.
Not sure if deposit remains on the books. However, he
believes Enstar has opted to go to a ten year minimum
on that, just so it doesn't stay forever. It' s
confusing having two systems, that's why Enstar wants
to go with just one system. Working one company with
two separate sets of books is confusing. You'd have to
ask your customer what side of the line your on.
That's why the postage stamp rate.
Chairman O'Reilly: Are the supplies of, gas adequate?
Mr. Brenden: We just signed a contract. to the Beluga
pipe line. Beluga to Anchorage, 100; miles of 20 inch
pipe line. We contracted there for a third of the
field, 13 year contract, but with the reserves that are
left over there, should put us well into the 1990' s to
the year 2000.
Chairman O'Reilly: Is that where our gas comes from,
Beluga?
Mr. Brenden Right here, we are taking from five different
fields. Taking from Beluga, Beaver Creek, Lewis River,
Pretty Creek and the Kenai field,
Committee Member Elson: Supposing during the
anticipated economic cycle that we're in, it goes for
the next two of three years, that we should some where
in the City of Kenai, there should be a break... for
instance, if we . had an industry come in and part of the
extended airport lands or development out here in
section 36, is Enstar in a position to respond to that?
Mr. Brenden: A large increase?
Committee Member Elson: Not necessarily a large increase,
thinking of an industrial plant or something in that nature,
Mr. Brenden: We've got the reserves or can get the reserves
for just about anything you can add in here. If economic
conditions are right, we can put on additional large loads
of like that.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
January 27, 1987
Page -8-
Committee Member Elson: The cost of that is essentially
born by the customer?
Mr. Brenden: By the customer. By the consumer.
Chairman O'Reilly: This all began with the City
granting a right of way to Union Oil then?
Mr. Brenden: As best I've been able to piece it out,
yes.
Chairman O'Reilly: Does that right of way remain
permanent, forever?
Mr . Brenden: That right of way is between Union Oil
and the City of Kenai,
Chairman O'Reilly: But, that was the cause of the low
cost contract that we had?
Mr. Brenden: There again, that's twenty years ago.
Committee Member Elson: The way I understood it. For
granting of the right of way, the City got the right to
franchise the gas. Not quiet sure.... got the right to
go in at this current market price of gas. There was
at one time, a check that came in at the end of the
year from Marathon and Union Oil for the gas that was
sold through the KUSCO system. A franchise fee.
Chairman O'Reilly: Are our rates competitive with
other areas?
Mr. Brenden: Our natural gas up here is probably the
cheapest, if not the cheapest in the nation. That's
the entire 50 states. The Alaska gas is, even with the
40% increase, will be some of the cheapest gas in the
United States,
Chairman O'Reilly: I gathered from what you're saying, this
postage stamp rate will apply from the Mat Su down through
this area.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
January 27, 1987
Page -9-
Mr . Brenden: That's correct. We have postage stamp
rates now in other areas. They will all be subject to
Public Utilities Commission's approval, which I
wouldn't know rightnow whether they are going to
approve it. Enstar will be able to have the same rates
in Kenai as they have in the valley, Eagle
River/Anchorage. It's still up before the commission.
Committee Member Elson: The cost of the line extension
on new service are the same in other areas?
Mr. Brenden: Right. The cost of that extension,
covered, is the $7.50 a foot covered. Main line
extens-ion are due. The consumers are on a, hold here
for now. We're not allowed to pass on the costs of the
main line extension to the other consumers. That main
has to be, cost justified, by the person being extended
to it.
Mr. Bill Thompson (Telephone Utilities of the North):
If your saying by postage stamp rate, that Mat Su being
the same here, then Kenai customers would be subsidized
for the pipe line, Beluga, in that area?
Mr. Brenden: It could be looked at that way. What
your saying too, -is that the larger percentage of the
gas comes back here.. Being used by the Enstar
customer, is coming from that pipe line. As their
reserves dry up here on the Kenai field and our
contracts dry up, it's conceivable that someday, that
the City of Kenai may be getting their gas from Beluga.
Chairman O'Reilly The City, has some lands that has
gas rights on them.
Mr. Brenden: I think that was why Mayor Williams
thought they could buy gas at a cheaper rate than
Enstar could supply it for. Enstar's rate is a blended
rate. Contracts that have been purchased from 1967 to
the early 60's to date. That blended is by far cheaper
than the current market of gas. If we could buy gas
here for the blended rate that Enstar's buying it for,
then it would be in the C ity' s best interest to
purchase that gas.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
January 27, 1987
Page -10 -
Committee Member Elson: I think what we're talking
about is, that the City of Kenai, with the lands that
they have, if the gas is developed underneath that has
a royalty of natural gas, it could be utilized for its
citizens or turn in revenue. If it were so utilized.
Committee Member Thomson: Do you have any idea on the
revenue change that is expected to be generated before
and after that change in purpose? When you increase
your pricing throughout the KUSCO system, what is the
change going to be in real dollars.
Mr. Brenden: The sales in the City of Kenai were
somewhere around five hundred and ninety thousand
MCF' s, we could take that and add in that additional
purchase cost, gas adjustment factor, determine what
increase the dollar amount that's going to be spent.
Committee Member Thomson: So it has 600,000 at .33 cents an
MCF. We're looking at $200,000.00,
Mr. Brenden: It's going from .33 cents to $1.25.
600,000 41 MCF going f rom .33 cents up to $1.25. And
that's just the gas portion of the bill. The operating
and maintenance portion of the bill is not going to be
increasing.
Chairman O'Reilly: In other words the gas rates seem
to be predicated more upon Enstar's situation than the
local current market.
Mr. Brenden: All Enstar is trying to do is recover
their cost of gas, and no more. KUSCO rates right now
are .33 cents an MCF. Our blended cost of gas is $1.25
an MCF. The current market value for gas is probably
$2.10 an MCF.
Committee Member Elson : Enstar was aware of the
situation when they purchased KUSCO, as far as
converting KUSCO to the Enstar system. There must have
been some type of calendar, of bringing the price of
gas up. Are you on target with that conversion?
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
January 27, 1987
Page -11-
Mr. Brenden: Yes. This rate increase is more based on
the Utility Commission stipulations. Couldn't raise
our rates until they are justified. And now there
justified, because the contract expires with
Union/Marathon. Our next target.date is August of 87,
where the City of Kenai's option expires on KUSCO.
It's completely up the Public Utilities Commission
rulings. They could expand beyond that.
Chairman O'Reilly: Is there anything that the City
should be doing, either as a City or it' s
bus iness/residential community., that would have a
lowering effect on gas rates?
Mr. Brenden: If the City could sell it's citizens gas
at below current market value, below Enstar's blended
market value of their gas, you could reduce your rates.
Chairman O'Reilly: Are you finding anything in your
billing or your delinquencies that have changed here in
the last six months, a year and a half.
Mr. Brenden: It hasn't shown up yet. We have seen a
little increase in our delinquent rates. A good
portion of accounts are being paid for by the banks.
The mortgage companies are picking up the energy bills,
which in turn is being paid by Alaska Housing. Enstar
is currently has a program of financing home
conversions. In the past, have been lenient on credit.
We are taking measures to prevent any possible increase
in credit problems,
Chairman O'Reilly: There used to be some state energy
program.
Mr. Brenden: There still is. Some low cost energy
programs, state assistance programs, state grants.
Committee Member Thomson: It appears that utility
;r costs for an average business is probably anywhere
between 2% to 3% of their gross revenues. If 2%, that
would mean that 50% increase would make that cost 3%,
which would mean a 1% drop in profit for an average
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE

business operating in the City of Kenai. Is that going
to flow back through and observed by the owner or past
on to the customers. Will this be a significate effect
in the community. The commercial users will be h i t
harder,
Mr. Brenden: The City of Kenai has had artificially
low gas prices in the past few years.
b. Ron Rainey, Homer Electric Association
Mr. Rainey: Move to Kenai is ahead of schedule. KCL
underground rebuild project is half complete. We're
rebuilding all the downtown system and half of that was
completed this summer. The other half will be
completed next summer. Depending on economic forces,
may delay a portion of that underground for next
summer, but main thing, the bulk of the problem has
been converted at this point in time, and the remainder
of what we think will be somewhat critical, will be
done next summer.
Rates. I think an economic development committee
possibly should focus on comparisons rather than high
cost of what you or I think rates are in this area. I
phoned Phoenix this afternoon to get where they are.
They have gone through plant expansion, rapid growth as
we have here. The residential rate in the Phoenix is
.10 cents kwh. Ours is .9.5 cents kwh. The commercial
and industrial cost per kwh is from 8k to 9 cents. For
a large user like Tesoro we get down to .9 cents.
Quiet a bit under what they are in the Phoenix area.
The point trying to be here is, if you have an
industrial prospect come into the area, I think what we
have to avoid doing, as an economic development
committee, is having someone say the electric rates
here are horrible. There are not horrible. There are
much higher than your used to paying, compared to
Phoenix or New York City or many places that maybe this
industrial firm is looking at to locate. That what
needs to focuses on. Capacity, in spite of Bradley
Lake, no matter which way it goes, we will have the
capacity to serve. We would rather have Bradley Lake,
we think the long term benefit of a facility like that
is ridiculous not to put it on line.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
January 27, 1987
Page -13-
Possibly we got, some negative reaction from the Kenai
City Council. I was disappointed to see that. Any
permanent power source, like that, even as small as it
may be, it will have a stabling effect for rates over
the next hundred years, shouldn't be tied. I think it
would be a mistake for the City of Kenai or anybody not
to support the project. We have a small portion of
that project.
Power Reserves. We're buying almost all of our power
from Chugach. We have a partial contract at this time
and we have a commitment for 80 kw of power from
Chugach, and that's about what our peak was this year.
We have Soldotna #1 on line now. It has a capacity for
38 megawatts. We could bring, in another Tesoro
tomorrow if we needed to. There's going to be talk of
g g
excess capacity, depends on who's opinion, hind sight
is 20-2 p
0. Without an economic slow down, we would
probably have been a problem without Soldotna #1.
That's basically where we are with power generation.
I ran
other
comparisons.
From the Phoenix area, I
asked
them,
what's a gallon
of milk; $1.79, $3.19 here.
Electricity
is cheaper. Bone
in round roast; $1 .6 9 ,
$2.69
here.
We got a pretty
good price on electricity.
A good
price
on gas. A,lot
of good energy values here.
That's
what
we need to focus
on.
Before someone asks, I will tell you where we are on
Tesoro0_1 Everyone is concerned about that and it's a
big concern of ours. It could have a real domino
effect on all of use Tesoro has a tremendous advantage
in generating electricity, because they can use the
waste heat in their process, which most business cannot
do. Tesoro can bring in a unit, much like we have in
Soldotna #1, and they pay the gas, a pay a little bit
more than we do for the gas, but, the benefit they get,
is they use that waste heat. And so, they can produce
electricity cheaper than we can sell it to . them for,
But we have two things going for us at this time.
We're before the APUC for a rate hearing, We've
presented our side of the rate case to the working
people, the working staff of the APUC. In essence,
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
January 27, 1987
Page -14-
they've agreed with us, that Chugach is charging us too
much for electricity. They have recommended to their
board, that Chugach reduce their wholesale rates to us
by 12%. This isn't guaranteed. The APUC will look at
that and make a determination, and we think that they
will make a decision some place between 6 and 10%
reduction from Chugach to HEA. This will allow us to
reduce the rates to Phillips and Tesoro some. Not
quite enough. The second part of this scenario is, we
are going to the APUC with a cost of service study.
What we hope that this study will show, is that it cost
much less to serve a Phillips or Tesoro than it does
you or me per kilowatt hour. Therefore, we should
reduce their rate a little further. We got to reduce
it enough, to where it nears their production costs for
electricity. If we don't, if we lose them, then is has
a domino effect. If we lose Tesoro, we got to make up
that revenue some place. They are 16% of our revenue.
That means, we raise everybody else's rates by 5 or 6
or 10%. Then, Phillips can produce it cheaper. That
raises another 10% and before we know what's happening,
everybody that can generate their own electricity, is
doing so, and our rates have gone up 50%. It very
crucial that we keep those lows, Tesoro and Phillips.
We're working hard to do so. I think both of those
companies realize the predicament we're in. I think
the APUC realizes the same thing and we are working on
it daily. I feel good that we keep those. I don't
think that we are going to lose them.
Chairman O'Reilly: Population projection.
Mr. Rainey: As far a projection goes....
Committee Member Jim Carter: It sounds like a real
lock -in situation. We have to buy 80 megawatts, we've
already agreed to that because of the requirements that
we had in HEA, which part of the requirements were
Tesoro and Phillips and some on. And now, HEA can't
get out of that contract with Chugach. They've got to
stick with that 80, and it's been a matter of
circumstances that has boost that cost up, not by a
desire of HEA, and I understand it, and if they go and
do these things, then it's a "catch 22" situation.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
January 27, 1987
Page -15-
Mr. Rainey: We have provided the loads to serve Tesoro
and Phillips :and now they are threatening to pull out
and we still have the base cost that they have created.
We have a contract with Tesoro and we feel it's an all
requirements contract. But, we don't want to have to
get it down to a legal battle. We want them to be our
customer, because we can serve them economically.
Chairman O'Reilly: All requirements contract?
Mr. Rainey: It means they have to buy from us,
Chairman O'Reilly. 'Like we have to buy from Chugach?
Committee Member Carter: The problem is, the contracts
..don't run concurrent.
Mr. Rainey: Basically, we're trying to get down to an
economical level so that they want to stay with u s .
So, we don't have to go through that kind of thing.
Chairman O'Reilly: Population?
Mr. Rainey passed eachcommitteemember a hand-out
prepared by HEA, which covers . the years form 1982 to
1986, reflecting new services connected, total
services, KWH sold, high yearly peak and total miles of
line energized.
Mr . Rainey, speaking on the new services connected,
which was 915 for 1986, indicated that for this year
HEA will go under the 915 figure. He thinks it will go
between five and six hundred new connects. That figure
is 50% of what they were doing for 1985. (Hand-out
attached)
A question was asked if this new connect meant new
facilities. Mr. Rainey indicated new facilities, n o t
re -energizing existing facilities. This is not a net
figure. They would be losing some. Probably, net
growth would be less than that.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
January 27, 1987
Page -16-
It was asked if this was Kenai area. Mr. Rainey,
stated this was the entire, or what is called the
Ridgeway District, total system.
Committee Member Carter: The wholesale power cost
adjustment is because we're buying 80 megawatts and
have to distribute that amount among all the users.
Mr. Rainey: Yes, that's part of the reason, and its a
blended rate. The electric usage is also a blended
rate. We buy a big part of our power from Chugach and
they adjust their power production costs by what they
are paying for gas, which is a blended rate over there.
So, whatever they are pulling from, and I'm told they
buy gas from different fields and different times, and
so, their costs of generating that electricity changes
from one month to the next. And their allowed to
change their wholesale power sales to us. Their figure
based upon where their buying that gas to generate the
electricity.
The other factor is; we brought Soldotna #1 on line
and we started the amortization of that plant three
months ago. That has impacted your bill and until
these plants are more fully utilized, it has a peaking
effect. Rates have jumped like 10% to put this
capacity on line, but now they will level off for the
next few years, and that's what we're trying to show
Tesoro and the rest of our large users, that our rates
are flatting off now. And that we're going to be there
for a while and we're still competitive with the rest
of the country.
Committee Member Thomson: How long has it been known
that Tesoro has the capability of generating power in
their waste heat, and how long have they been thinking
about it?
Mr. Rainey: That's an industry trend. They've always
known that. All plants, such as that, have waste heat
utilization capabilities.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
January 27, 1987
Page -17-
Committee Member Thomson: Wouldn't it have been
possibly feasible for HEA to look at this as an
alternate source of capacity, if they can over produce
and in fact, possibly have some excess to sell back to
the system.
Mr. Rainey: It would have been, had it been
coordinated several years ago. Right now, no. Because
we purchased this block of power from Chugach. We've
built Soldotna #1, and now we're between a rock and a
hard place. We can't negotiate with them, we don't
need anymore right now. They may have been willing to
build that capacity several years ago, and had we done
that possibly, instead of Soldotna #1 or whatever we
were negotiating with Chugach, that's hind sight. It
wasn't done and we can't go back and change that.
Chugach sent HEA a letter two. years ago, saying that
they could not continue serving us as an all -
requirements wholesaler of power. Saying, in other
words, you got 80 megawatts, that all we can give you.
Any excess capacity is yours. And at that time, the
Board of Directors had to make a decision, where are we
going to get the other power. We couldn't get it from
our supplier, so we had to go our own way. We had to
buy the power someplace and hence, Soldotna #1, they
were forced into doing that. It wasn't a choice they
wanted to make.
Chairman O'Reilly: When you refer to jobs on the hand-
out, what are you referring to.
Committee Member Elson: It's not meters because some
jobs would be to put in a single line to an apartment
house and a number of meters, that would be considered
one job. But at the same time, just putting a service
line to single family dwelling, that would be
considered one job. One location one job,,
Committee Member Thomson: Kenai shows that last year
Kenai had 11h % if the jobs, and now their down to 9.5 %
of the jobs. Which indicates that this, not only being
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
January 27, 1987
Page -18-
a total drop off of total numbers, it's also being a
percentage drop off. Kenai shows a larger decrease in
growth and is being effected.
Chairman O'Reilly: What about projections?
Mr. Rainey: We make ten year forecasts and then
something like this happens and you throw them out the
window and start over. So, we are going to start our
planning process over again. And no projections, all
of them we have now, are based on different criteria.
Committee Member Thomson: Planning for 87-88?
Mr. Rainey: The planning, we have transformers, wire
and capacity for the next year and we can get that on
the yearly basis. We're set for construction season
next year, through the summer. Generation capacity is
there, our short term planning is basically done. Long
term planning, we're going to have to look again.
The inner -tie would help. Possibly move some power
around. Re -sell some power. I think that's important
to this area at this time.
Chairman O'Reilly: Hopefully, with our local utilities
and local business interest, is there something there
you care to offer us as to what direction to go on
that.
Mr. Rainey: We support Bradley Lake, even as small as
it is, it stabilizes our power costs over the long
term. We strong support the rail belt inner -ties,
which would allow us to move blocks of power around
more readily. Like the pipe line from up North down to
here. I think those are the two biggest things in the
generation and transmission side of the business. The
other thing that I think Alaska lagged behind on, is
Chugach is trying to be the daddy of generation here in
the state and I think that was a mistake and the other
utilities have drawn away from that. I think now that
we need to draw back together and look at years from
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
January 27, 1987
Page -19-
now. You have to look at coal. Those are big plants.
They're 150 megawatt or larger plants. They're up to
455 megawatt plants and that's going to take a lot of
utilities together to get the economy to scale on units
like that, then we can bring coal and natural gas can
be used for other things. The hydro for the base for
this area. There is a lot of long term planning that
p g
we need to do but the inner -tie being one of the keys
at this point in time.
Chairman O'Reilly: Are there any restraints that the
city, by city action or by the business community, are
putting on you people, that could be removed?
Mr. Br • enden To mention one to Kenai, is the
reimbursement for utilities for relocation.
Mr. Rainey: We still
have not resolved that issue with
the City of Kenai,
I think the City Attorney is too
hard to deal with.
It could be resolved and I think
everybody has wasted
a lot of money and in fairness to
all our other consumers, I think the City of Kenai has
been too hard-nosed
about that. We all should do it
the same. Everybody
should not pay for re -location or
they all should.- The City of Kenai has taken the
position that we want
some of -the system, so we're not
going to pay for it.
That's not,, in my opinion fair,
because you gave or sold or whatever the system, and
now won't pay us for
doing what you want us to do with
the streets. So that throws the burden on the other
consumers.
Mr . Brenden : We're riding the coat tails of HEA on
this issue. We've done a lot of construction projects
since we took over KUSCO and are depending on the out
come of HEA' s .lawsuit regarding the reimbursement for
the relocation. That's not to say we might not come in
and step in and increase our efforts to recover that
money. Your talking a large chunk of change. Every
time you improve street, we've got to relocate a
facility on the right or way to make room for that
street. With modifications, we've got a hundred
thousand, two hundred thousand dollars in jeopardy
right now.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
January 27, 1987
Page -20-
Mr. Larry Hyatt: To give a good example, last year in
86, we relocated in the City of Kenai to tune of over
seventy thousand dollars, non -reimbursable, that was
spread back over every consumer.
Mr. Rainey: Whereas the City of Soldotna, they will
even move the center line of their street to avoid
having to relocate these facilities. They are working
with us better. Their philosophy seems to be more easy
for us to work with than the City of Kenai,
Mr. Brenden: Probably decreasing the unit cost of
construction to the contractor. The City of Soldotna
is probably getting a better price on their contracts
than the City of Kenai. Strictly because the
contractors here have to mess with the utilities.
Soldotna areas will be reimburse the utilities for
relocation. You don't have to mess with us. We're
taken care of before the project hits the street.
Committee Member Carter: In a situation like this,
isn't there another element that if there was a wave of
harmony that, it should be looked at, what's going to
cost the consumer the most. Whether it's the City
paying for it, or HEA paying for it, or Enstar paying
for it, or the telephone company paying for it. It's
the user, the person that going to be effected in the
long run,
Committee Member Darren Bond: When you talked about
the larger industrial users are cheaper to run, cheaper
for you to service and you can offer them a discount.
How do you qualify that. How are you approaching the
Public Utility Commission then.
Mr. Rainey: The key to it is
Tesoro, probably has a 90 or 95%

We're predicting that these calculations in dollars
spent, we don't see any projects not coming to pass,
that we wouldn't build those. Those specific projects.
We've broken down our access line and forecasts by the
two different companies that we operate.
Telephone Utilities of Alaska is basically Southeast,
some of the bush communities. Juneau/Douglas and Fort
Wainwright.
Telephone Utilities of the Northland, Inc., takes in
the Aleutian Chain, Kodiak, all of the Kenai Peninsula
and North Pole. We're spread over a wide area and part
of the Yukon Territory.
Looking at the forecast and the growth that we've had
in the past, and I leave this book with you (attached),
Not totally updated, but to give an example, Kenai
itself. 1985 we had an 85.3% growth rate. 1986 we had
a -4% growth rate. We lost customers in 1986.
Committee Member Carter: What had you projected for
86?
Mr. Hyatt: Just a guess, right at 5%. We hit pretty
well on them, up until June. Kenai, as an example,
back in 82, we had 8.2% and 83/10.7%, 84/.16% and then
85/5.3% . Some of the exchanges are growing. All of
them are coming down on the Kenai Peninsula. Homer has
been one of our highest growth areas. 1982 was 25%,
into 84/30.2, 85/7.1%, this year was 2.7%.
Book left with the committee and given to secretary to
file in Economic Development file at City Hall.
We break it down by access line. A customer. I could
break it down business versus residential.
As far as any other thing that I could see that would
impact the Kenai or the Kenai Peninsula I think there
are some things before the commission. I don't see any
rates case at all for the telephone company at this

point. Equal access will have an impact to some extent
on the consumers on calling out of state. The in state
long distance, that's in front of the Alaska Public
Utilities Commission. What decision, I don't have any
idea. GCI has put a proposal in front of the
commission for a way to allow inter -state by other
carriers in Alascom and stillt subsidize the bush
communities around the state, to continue universal
telephone service. I don't know where that's at, I
think, it's a long battle for GCI . We're seeing a big
trend for our customers to use GCI for their out of
state calls, to the tune of 60/40 in a lot of areas, to
80/20 in Kenai.
The only issue that I see.in front of the commission
now is the inside wire charge to residential homes and
business homes.
Chairman O'Reilly: Billing and delinquency on the part
of customers, have you seen any?
Mr. Hyatt: We're seeing a lot more Chapter 11's this
year, than we have in the past, Our billing
delinquency is not anything significantly higher than
it was last year.
It's been a.change because under Contel they're filling
process was quite different than it is now under the
new company. We don't take deposits like we used to.
We take first payment in advance rather than deposit
and you build your credit. Before you put a deposit
down and then proved yourself being a good customer
before getting your deposit back. We're giving back as
many deposits as we can.
Mr. Hyatt: In Kenai we have 3,972 customers and
Soldotna we have, 5,369, year end 86. Between year end
85 and year end 86 we lost in Kenai, 68 customers.

to City Hall for the committee.

Chairman O'Reilly:Is there anything the city should
be doing or not doing?
Mr. Hyatt: The relocates is very, very expensive.
Kenai is the only city that we deal with that does not
favor relocates.
Committee Member Elson: Are there any physical or
financial limitations as far as communications are
concerned that would exclude us from that type of
marketing from anywhere else?
Mr. Hyatt: I wouldn't see it as being such. We're
ready to build any plant that is necessary to provide
service. However, understand that we are consider a
local operating company. We would not provide long
distance, as an example, that would be either GCI or
Alascom. We are restricted in that as a local
operating company are not allowed to provide long
distance.
Committee Member Thomson: Can you provide data quality
lines.
Mr. Thompson: We do. What the customer asks for if
what we try and provide. We are state-of-the-art
digital.
Mr. Hyatt: We are going more and more toward cost
causes towards cost payer. Line extensions. We give
1000 foot of cable free to every customer that we have.
If they build over a thousand feet from our facilities,
they have to pay actual costs from that point on. From
each exchange.
If we get four or five houses built in one area, they
each get a thousand foot free.
Mr. Hyatt: We're looking at other options, radio type
systems, will help relieve some of those costs.
In February, we'll be back in the telephone rental
business again.

difficult situation in the acquisition with Alaska
Commercial,, That is strictly between the two
companies. . Loc-ation within.- Kenai of a retail
establishment: There spoke very favorable about that.
As regards to the distribution center: That may g e t
more complicated because, what is happening now, and
has been a practice for a while, is that the
merchandise, they talk about produce and can goods,
then dry goods. But the produce and dry goods that go
to the v i,l l ages , go Parcel Post out of Anchorage, at
subsidized mail -rates. What will have to happen, for
us to get our selves postured so that we would be
competitive with Anchorage on this, is some really
substantial work on the part of private interests and
the City. Barge line in here, air service in here and
probably working with the U.S. Mail to put in some new
parcel post arrangements. That's about where we're at
on this one.
Hudson Bay people said they don't want any money from
the State, they don't want any tax forgiveness, they
don't want any subsidy from the State. The way they
operate in the Yukon and the Northwest Territory is
that they inform the governments in those areas of what
their pricing practices and patterns are going to be in
those communities.

that would be the logical choice. I understand the
store down here, but all in business know the freight
problem, shipping it here, then shipping it back out

Chairman O'Reilly will meet with Janet Whelan to
arrange a different night to meet.
Chairman O'Reilly: I am concerned about whether we'll
be able to get somebody from the State to discuss what
happens in other communities that have tried this.
Because that entire department of Commerce has been,
that end of it, has pretty well been wiped out. I will
check on this, and report to you on the next meeting .
We will give this an over view of what they do in other
communities.

Frontier Training Center
P.O. Box 2110 Soldotna, Ak. 99669
HISTORY:
Frontier Training Center began actively serving persons with developmental
p 1
Disabilities in February, 1985. Prior to that time Frontier TrainingCenter er
was active as a steering committee to the People Count board of directors
for DVR services and a standing committee to Central Peninsula Mental Heal
th
Center for DD services. The Frontier Training Center Board of Directors
is comprised of parents, educators and other community representatives who
are interested in the provision of vocational and residential services
to handicapped persons on the peninsula.
FUNDING:
In the development of services on the Peninsula this group of interested
persons was able to convince the State of the critical needs here and,
through legislative advocacy, was able to secure funds to begin services.
At this time, both the Vocational Rehabilitation Division and the Develop-
mental P
mental Disabilities Division provide funds for employment training and
supervision; residential and respite services; and case management. In
addition to these funds, Frontier Training Center was awarded $90,000
through a direct%legislative appropriation. This appropriation was
intended to support services, but was never incorporated into the Develop-
mental Disabilities funding package.
ISSUES:
33-5707
We have been notified by the Developmental Disabilities Program that the
proposed budgets for 1987-1988 have been written and have excluded the
$90,000 legislative appropriation at the direction of the Governor. There
is no way that the appropriation can be included for services to developmentally
disabled persons without direct legislative action.
This appropriation is approximately 41% of our operating budget. The loss of
this funding will mean the loss of our Vocational program and a serious
reducation in services to families of handicapped children and adults.
PRIORITIES:
Our Board has determined that its priority for funding 1987-1988 is the
inclusion of.the $90,000 into the program services dollars administered
through the Developmental Disabilities program. This objective supports
This objective supports our commitment to employment and training services.
Without these services, we believe that our handicapped adults will be .
sitting at home; graduates of the school programs will certainly lose
skills and the ensuing pressures on families may lead to placement out-
side of the home.
Our other priorities for the next year include stabilization of the respite
and residential programs as viable resources in the Community.
Lastiv, we anticipate there will be a critical need for a group home and
other residential training programs for adult handicapped persons in the
area. We already have identified at least seven adults ready to enter
such a program.

AML One Step Closer to
Forming Insurance Pool
For Members
i For the past six years, the Alaska Munic-
ipal League has been working towards a self-
insurance program for Alaska's municipal-
ities. Now, as a result of actions taken by he
AML Board of Directors on Novembr 12
that goal may soon be realized.
'
The Board has selected,
, through a com-
petitive process, Frank B. Hall and Company
of Alaska, along with Hall Services Division
of Briarcliffe, New York, to create a self -
insured retention pool for AML members.
That process has already begun, and will in-
volve many hours of negotiations between
the AML Board and Frank B. Hall over the
next several months. Municipalities that
may wish to join the AML for the purpose
of participating in the insurance pool are
welcome, and encouraged to join.
During the month of December, munic-
ipalities in the State, and some school dis-
tricts received a comprehensive question-
naire from Frank B. Hall regarding the com-
munity or school district, and its exposure
to losses, loss history, services offered, num-
ber of employees, total payroll, property
and structures owned and leased and
spec-
ifications for those properties, ' es
t
years of vehicles operated b YP
etc. P y employees,
Communities interested in taking this in-
itial step, along with other AML members,
were asked to fill out this questionnaire as
completely as possible, and return it to the
AML. The information gathered through
this process will then be compiled, an
taken by Frank B. Hall to the commercial
ex-
cess insurance market to u al d
purchase addi-
tional coverage for the pool, as required by
State law. Because of the strict timetable re-
quired by the excess insurance market, the
League requested that the questionnaires
be returned to the AML by January 15,1987.
Completed questionnaires from munic-
ipalities and school districts will serve as an
indicator of tentative initial commitment to
the AML's effort. A final commitment will
be asked for from each community in April,
once the administrative and excess insur-
ance costs have been determined, and fig-
ured into each participant's individual pre-
mium amount. The program's startup date
is targeted asJuly 1, 1987. Also, it is the
Leaguers intention to "reward" those entities
willing to join the pool as a "charter mem-
ber." Com m u n ities waiti ng to the second or
third year to join the Pool will
a moderate "late fee P be assessed
Any questions regarding this effort by the
.eague to form a self -insured retention pool f
orAML members should be directed to the
.eague office in Juneau, or Jody Smith at

1986 Conference Preview
and Legislative Priorities
The membership of the Alaska Municipai
League adopted a new policy platform and
elected a new Board of Directors at the con-
clusion of their 36th Annual Local Govern-
ment Conference held November 1214,
1986 in Juneau. George Carter, Mayor of Pal-
mer, took over as the new AML President
from Sitka Assemblyman Dan Keck, who
presided over the conference as this year's
president. The AML Board of Directors met
following the conference to "boil down" the
25-page 1987 Pbl icy Statement and 33 resolu-
tions, adopted at the conference, to several
priorities for Alaska's municipalities in the
15th Alaska State Legislature and the 100th
U.S. Congress.
At the state level, the AML priorities are:
funding of the State Revenue and Municipal
Assistance Programs; the passage of a more
equitable school foundation o ram
an adequate fundingg level; adequate and
reim-
bursement and fundin levels construction debt g vels of the school
equitable resolution of t am; a quick and
he mental health
land trust litigation; passage of a municipal
land entitlement bill; and co P
op-
position to bindingarbitration for
teachers
and mandaeo aici or teachers
ities in the Publ c Employees
by municipal-
ities Relations Act.
At the federal level, the League will be
concentrating on reviving the general rev-
enue
sharing program; protecting federal
funding levels for the payments -in -lieu -of -
taxes programs; restoring Bureau of Indian
Affairs funding for rural edu •
urging the passage of the proposed
1 and,
amendments to the Alaska P sed "1991"
Settlement Act. Carter Native Claims
said while the pol-
icies and the resolutions address a number
of important issues affecting local govern-
ments, the Board priorities will receive the
emphasis of the legislative activities of the
AML Board, Legislative Committee and the
staff. The amended Polley Statement and
adopted resolutions are bein
and will be distributed to g published
Ilate
slators and t the membership,

Olemaun, Mayor of Barrow, was
elected AML Second Vice President, which

Municipal Officials
Go On Offensive
by Linda Woodhouse
Nation's cities Weekly
Some7AW municipal leaders went to San
Antonio, Texas in November for NLC's 1986
Congress of Cities on the offensive, "deter-
mined to insert urban programs into the na-
tional debate and to focus national atten-
tion on the raw facts of human suffering,"
said San Antonio Mayor Henryisneros
the outgoing president of NLry
In the shadow of the AlamC.
o, where Tex-
ans made their determined last stand in
their fight for freedom, city officials from
across the nation agreed to launch a deter-
mined fight of their own —in the battle to
maintain a role for cities in the federal/local
partnership.
Four legislative priorities -on mandates,
federalism and welfare reform, re -authori-
zation of key urban programs, and tax re-
form —were outlined by the Board of Direc-
tors at their meeting on Saturday. And
war --a war against drugs with an expand-
ed federal role —was declared in a Human
Development Pblicy Committee resolution
that responded in many of its details to the
call to arms issued by New York City Mayor
Edward Koch at a general session on Sun-
day.

Angoon Addresses
Across Board Cuts
The Council of the City of Angoon, with
all members convened and present on this
18th day of November, 1986, do hereby
adopt and submit this position paper for
the consideration of the Governor and
Governor -elect of the State of Alaska.
It is ou r bel ief that the fi rst f u notion of the
State government is to ministerto the needs
of the citizens of the State of Alaska. Among
these needs, Safety, Health, and Well-being
must constantly be the highest priorities.
We further believe municipal governments
to be the most direct, efficient and respon-
sive aids available to the Governor in
ministering to those needs. ..
In accordance with these beliefs, the
Council of the City of Angoon takes the
position that "across the board" budget cuts
applied to Revenue Sharing Programs do
not allow the possibility of responding to
the above stated needs at their recognized
level of priority. We believe that rather than
proposing arbitrary "across the board"
budget cuts, State government must be will-
ing to tackle the more difficult (and more
responsible) task of evaluating expen-
ditures according to the level of "'direct -
service benefits provided by the expen-
diture to the people of Alaska.
We believe "across the board" budget
cuts to be damaging to the citizen in direct
proportion to the deepness of the cut. This
is particularly true when applied to Revenue
Sharing, Capital Improvement projects and
administration of State departments. It is
also the tactic of the "lazy legislator" We
support a policy of cutting the overhead,
not the service.
We believe Alaska is at a point where a
hard look must be taken towards cutting ad-
ministrative costs at the State level, thus
freeing more dollars for direct application
to local citizen concerns by the municipal
governments. Departments, Bureaus, and
Commissions AND their personnel need to
be examined to determine, respectively,
how much real service they provide and
who is actually performing (Le earning their
salary). Each should be able to demonstrate
their worth relative to the! r cost to the State
and, inevitably, to the voter.
Finally, local hire must get strong, active
support as it is crucial to ourwell-being. We

Alaskans Participate
in National Municipal
Conference
AML President George Carter and four-
teen other Alaskans joined with some 7PM
municipal officials in San Antonio, Texas for
the National League of Cities' 1986 Congress
of Cities. They participated together with
their peers from across the country in the
policy discussions, leading to amendments
of the NLC's national municipal policy.
Plenary sessions were held throughout the
four day conference on "key" areas —peo-
ple, capacity, partnership and management,
setting the stage for a variety of workshops.
Attending the Conference were: Mayor
Carter of Palmer, Assemblypersons Heather
Flynn and Pat Parnell of Anchorage, Coun-
cilmembers Ted Lehne (former), Paul
Whitney, Janet Halvarson, Lowell Purcell
and Jerry Noru m of Fairbanks, Assembly -

The National League of Cities, head-
quartered in Washington, D.C., provides in-
formation, training, and representation to
cities and state municipal leagues across
the country. Over 1300 cities are direct
member cities of NLC. That includes seven
cities in Alaska: Anchorage, Fairbanks,
Juneau, Ketchikan, Valdez, Kenai, and
Wrangell. For more information, contact the

Alaska Municipal League
1986 Annual Report
"Excerpts from the 1986 Annual Report
presented at the 36th Annual Business
Meeting in Juneau, November 14, 1986."
Membership
The AML membership, as of November
1986, stands at 121 municipalities, an in-
crease of 5 since last year. The new munic-
ipal members includeAniak, Bettles, Brevig
Mission, Chuathbaluk, Emmonak, Holy
Cross, Kotlik, White Mountain, and the
Northwest Arctic Borough. Both Bettles and
the Northwest Arctic Borough are not only
new members but were only recently incor-
porated. Unfortunately, Akhiok, Ekwok,
Selawik, and Tunanak dropped their mem-
bership this last year.
There are also 76 Associate Members of
the AML; an increase of 19 from last year.
Associate Members include commercial
firms, agencies, and state departments
which show a special interest in local gov-
ernment by supporting the programs and
activities of the AML. The associate mem-
bership also includes 13 municipal Associa-
tions affiliated with the AML.
The AML welcomes its new members and
thanks the members that have continued
their membership and support of the AML.
Legislation
The AML Board of Directors' legislative
priorities included the funding of the state
revenue sharing program, the municipal
assistance program, school construction
debt reimbursement program, and relief for
municipal insurance problems. HB 506, the
insurance pooling bill, and SB 477, the tort
reform bill, both passed in the Second Ses-
sion of the 14th Alaska Legislature to ad-
dress the insurance crisis. The AML was
heavily involved in both pieces of legisla-
tion.
School debt retirement was funded by
the Legislature at $144.3 million to fullyfund
the new debt incurred by municipalities.
Revenue Sharing and Municipal Assistance
funding suffered a greater proportionate
cut (10% plus) than the overall State budget
as approved by the Legislature for FY 87; the
amounts were $53,199AM and $73,176,100. It
definitely could have been worse, and later
was when the Governor cut the revenue
sharing and municipal assistance programs
another 10% in July as a result of a further
decline in oil revenues.
Some other local government successes
in the Second Session of the 14th Legisla-
ture include resisting unnecessary and po-
tentially costly limitations on municipal
bonding; and, the passage of hazardous
waste legislation on the community -right -
to -know and also on expanding the emer-
gency clean-up program. Again, attempts
to require binding arbitration for teachers,,
and mandatory collective bargaining for
municipal employees, failed. The Governor
also responded to the AML request to veto
the Uniform Plumbing Code bill due to the
amendments which made it unacceptable
to many municipalities.
The League and its member municipali-
ties were less successful in the Legislature
in their attempts to defeat additional costs
resulting from serving domestic violence
injunctions; the death of the municipal
fiscal note legislation; the prior year data
amendments to the municipal revenue
sharing programs; and, the funding short-
falls and amendments to the mandated,
senior citizen's tax relief programs.
The AML was also active on the national
scene in Washington. While the AML con-
tinued to support reducing the record fed-
eral deficit, and simplifying the tax code, it
opposed many of the specific proposals.
Heading into the year with what was called
a dead issue, municipalities camewithin in-
ches of saving General Revenue Sharing.
Due to back -room maneuvers and time run-
ning out, we were denied a vote, and the
program died, along with $16 million dollars
of federal aid to Alaska. Pressure by munic-
ipal officials, the much touted, but narrowly
focused Gramm-Rudman solution to the
deficit lost much of its appeal, and constitu-
tionality. The tax code passed but was not
simplified, and the revenues raised by mak-
ing more individuals and corporations pay
their fair share were not used to reduce the
federal deficit; instead they were used to
avoid another round of Gramm-Rudman
cuts in an election year. After much pres-
sure, the proposed changes in the tax code
affecting municipal bonds and state and
local tax deducti bil ity were softened in the
final law but the costs of municipal bonding
will increase and the authority will be lim-
ited. The deductibility of state and local
sales taxes was repealed. The AML was also
active in the proposed 1991 amendments
regarding tax -exemptions for "developed"
land; resisting mandatory Medicare pay-
ments by all state and local employees; and
resisting separate EPA permits for all munic-
ipal storm water discharge points under the
amendments to and reauthorization of the
Clean Water Act.
Publications
The League staff has updated and
published many of the AML publications
available to the membership again this year.
The 1986 Policy Statement, 1986 Municipal
Officials Directory (published jointly with
DCRA), and FY67Municipal Salary Survey
have all been published and distributed to
our members. The Elected Officials Hand-
book, updated last year, is available.
Five editions of theAML Newsletterwere
published last year. In addition, six Special
Bulletins were published and distributed.
The AML staff kept the membership in-
formed of legislative action throughout the
Second Session of the 14th Alaska Legis-
lature with weekly "Legislative Bulletins."
The staff also produced two special reports
this year. The staff developed, conducted
and published the results of a "Legislation
Survey:' The survey reported the impacts of
key legislative proposals before the Legis-
lature and Congress. Unfortunately, only28
of the Leagues 116 member municipalities
responded. Also, the staff, working with the
Board, developed a questionnaire which
was sent to all the gubernatorial candidates
in the primary to get their views on key m u-
nicipal issues. The responses were pub-
lished and sent to the membership.
The staff surveyed the membership to up-
date our publications mailing list to insure
that the proper person in the municipality
was receiving the necessary number of
copies to distribute internally to the elected
officials and key staff. A problem is per-
ceived that the Newsletter, Legislative
Bulletin, and Special Bulletins is not reach-
ing key municipal officials in order to main-
tain an informed and active organization.
Financial
Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co. was again
hired bythe AML Board of Directors to per-
form an audit of the Leagu&s finances for
FY 86. In their report to the Board dated Oc-
tober 11,1986, the auditors found that the
League's records "present fairly the finan-
cial position of the Alaska Municipal League
at September 30,1986... in accordance with
generally accepted accounting princi-
ples. . !. The Leaguers increase in working
capital was $66,975 with a fund balance at
the end of the fiscal year of $18107I. Actual
revenues were up about &2%, while actual
expenditures were down about 5.4%, for the
year.
At the August meeting in Kodiak, the
Board approved the FY 87 budget. Antici-
pated revenues and expenditures are
$411,820 and $410,593, respectively. For the
fourth year, the Board has not raised the
membership dues. As directed by the
Board, AML dues notices were sent out in
October based on current population fig-
ures from the Department of Community
and Regional Affairs. Payment is due Jan-
uary 1st according to the Constitution and
Bylaws, and the early notice will help mem-
bers and the League with their budgets.
Insurance
The AML Insurance Program, begun in
April 1984, has continued to grow and meet
many of the insurance needs of our mem-
bership in difficult times in the insurance
industry. As of the July 1st renewal date, over
100 municipalities and school districts were
participating in the program.
The passage of the- insurance pooling
legislation last year, cleared the way for the
League to pursue ways of improving the
AML Insurance Program. At the Board's re-
quest, four firms have submitted pooling

The staff used conference calls effective-

"I saw a determination and an optimism
among the delegates" said Denver Council-
woman -at -Large Cathy Reynolds, incoming
president of the National League of Cities.
"They understand what the reality of the
situation is, and they are ready to roll up
their sleeves and do whatever it takes to pro-
vide programs and services for their
citizens."
Altogether more than 10AM people came
to the National League of Cities' 63rd Con-
gress of Cities and Exposition held
November 29 through December 3 in San
Antonio. It was the largest annual confer-
ence in NLC's history.
Pbrtland, Maine Councilor Pamela Plumb
said she saw evidence at the conference of
"renewed enthusiasm among members"
after the hard battles of 1986, and looked for-
ward to "a new positive national policy for
cities:'
Cisneros asked city officials to follow
what he called "a rifle -shot strategy" in con-
centrating on five "red-letter, red -flag
issues" in December, January and February:
tax reform; reauthorization of key city pro -
rams, including the Clean Water Act,
Fiighwayfunding and fund
s housingand
community development; welfare reform •
f' p ',
fightingg new mandates without funds to
meet tfiem• and battling drugs.
Addressing delegatesduringgthe opening
general session, Cisneros said, � i g g d, besides
those priorities, cities need to serve as "the
conscience of this country" by insuring that
difficult human problems such as hunger,
homelessness and unemployment are top
priorities for political candidates in the 1988
elections. "This or
ganization- ization has to hold
(those issues) up clearly so the countrycan
see them in this important period we are
entering. We have an obligation, as an
organization, to keep those problems on
the front burner"

& Legislative Priorities
(Continued from Page 9)
Re-elected to serve a second term were:
Assemblyman George Davidson of Juneau;
Mayor John Devens of Valdez; and, City
Councilman Jonathon Solomon of Fort
Yukon. Palmer City Manager Dave Soulak
was appointed by the AML President to
serve a second term as the Chair of the 1987

mittee (see names elsewhere in this
Newsletter).
In spite of cuts in municipal budgets and
bad_ weather, 490 municipal officals and
others interested in. local government reg-
istered and attended the AML annual con-
ference in Juneau, November 12-14, 1986.
The conference marks both the end and the
beginning of the year for the League in
terms of evaluating its past successes, and
in terms of setting out the legislative and
service programs for next year. In addition
to the 21/2 days of policy discussions and
workshops at the conference, municipal of-
ficials benefited from the opportunity to
make contact with their peers from around
the State, and discuss similar problems and
possible solutions._Over20 firms and agen-
cies participated as exhibitors at the con-
ference to show how they had assisted, or
could assist, communities. Several munic-
ipal associations, including managers,
clerks, attorneys, finance officers, planners,
assessors, etc. also met in conjunction with
the conference to elect 1987 officers, hold
training seminars, and to prepare policy
positions to introduce to the AML.
Plans are already being made for the 37th
Annual Local Government Conference
which will be hosted this year by the Mu-
nicipality of Anchorage. The meeting is ten-
tatively scheduled for the second week in
November. Plan to attend!

Meetings
In addition to Board and Legislative
Committee meetings, members of the
AML Board and staff attended a variety of
national, regional and state-wide meetings
during the year representing the AML.
These included the 1985 National League
of Cities' (NLC) Congress of Cities in Seat-
tle, the NLC Congressional -Cities Con-
ference in Washington, D.C., the National
Association of Counties (NACo) - Western
Interstate Region Annual Meeting in Col-

ing Committee, and Elaine Seymour of Ket
chikan was appointed to the NLC Small
Cities Steering Committee. The AML also
had a booth at the Congress of Cities Ex-
hibition in conjunction with the NLC An-
nual Conference. The booth was a big suc-
cess, giving everyone a better understan-
ding of this "Great Land" and the munici-
palities in it.
1985 Conference and Business Meeting
The 35th Annual Local Government Con-
ference was held in Fairbanks, November
13-16,1985, and was hosted by the Fairbanks
North Star Borough and the Cities of Fair-
banks and North Pole. The conference was
a success with the 4% registered delegates.
At the business meeting, the amend-
ments to the AML Constitution and Bylaws
approved in 1984 took effect. The major ac-
tion was to implement the change in the
Board representation through the election
process.
A major part of the FY 86 staff work pro-
gram was consumed preparing for the 36th
Annual Local Government Conference in
Juneau, November 12-14, 1986 Major for-
mat changes included the resolution pro-
cess and moving the business meeting
from Saturday to Friday.
Having received this Annual Report near
the conclusion of the 1986 Annual Con-
ference, we hope that it was a success, and.
sets the state for another successful year
for the Alaska Municipal League in its ef-
fort to represent and improve local govern-
ment in Alaska. We extend our thanks to
the Officers, Directors, Past Presidents,
Legislative Committee, members, and staff
for their work in FY 86

believe idle time is the major contributor
to alcohol and drug abuse in Alaska, not an
innate desire to be drunk or high. The
Council supports the Municipal League
position that Community & Regional Affairs
programs should continue to receive fund-
ing to develop municipalities, at least at last
year's level. One particular area where this
is important to the villages is the position
of the Village Public Safety officer, who
fulfills the duties of a State Trooper at min-
imal cost to the State of Alaska. We believe
the VPSO position needs to be re-examined
in terms of the opportunity for career ad-
vancement within that program, so that the
VPSO would eventually have the opportuni-
to become a State Trooper. In this way,
y,
t e State could eventually provide a Trooper
in each village.
As we all know there is no longer the
same money available as when the oil was
flowing,. Trimmingg back the bureaucracy
which was createddurin those more ros-
reerous times will not be a sim le task. We
state our position that municipalities'P
th •, are
e most direct route to filling the needs of
the people, and that municipal programs
should not be subjected to across the board
budget cuts. This transition period provides
the g rfect opportunity to institutehan es
which will oxide needed cuts in theg

get. a believe this can be done with-
out harming the municipalities' abilities to

citizens. Sincerely,

Assessor Certification
Program Announced
At the 1986 Annual Meetingofthe Alaska
Association of AssessingOfficers the Ex-
ecutive Board adopted a I u nta certifica-
tion program consisting of assessment ed-
ucational and experience standard
s ds for
those qualified to perform in positions of
municipal assessors or appraisers.
Entry qualifications require service in the
profession, commitment to continuing ed-
ucation, and renewal of certification
through specialized training offered bythe
AAAO and the Internatinoal Association of
Assessing Officers.
The program is voluntaryto all employed
in the ad valorem assessment protession
and, through unanimous vote of Assessors
throughout the State will be encoura
of all w • , raged
• • who aspire or occupy positions as
municipal appraisers or assessors. Certifica-
tion is develo around three levels of
.. P� pro-
fic�ency requiring •examination proof of
educational participation, demonstrated
practice of accepted approaches to value,
defense of value in appellant hearings, and
commitment to uniform and equitable
value of determination:
q
It is anticipated that this program will
form a basis for mandatory requirements;
however, due to the expense of providing
very specialized instruction and transpor-
tation to centralized classes, it is realized
that, without greater financial resources,
the AAAO andlocal munici palities can
commit to additional expense.
The program
ro ram does ro ide means of car-
eer development and education for asses
s-
ment personnel that is documented and
can have affect on future employment op-
portunities. Particularly, voluntary participa-
tion demonstrates commitment and inter-
est which the AAAO expects will result in
more uniform assessment administration
throughout the State.

President, Alaska Association of Assessing
Officers at 7454801, or Mike Worley, Alaska
State Assessor, at 465-4750.

* ARE CITIFS AND TOWNS
IN THE PUBLIC INIEREST^?
OKARETf I JUST
ANOTHER SPECIAL INTEREST?
In 1987, Congress will have to decide whether the
nation's cities and towns —and the people who represent
them —are part of the public interest or just another spe-
cial interest.
You know the answer. At the 1987 Congressional-
City Conference you'll be able to make sure that your
ANNLLAl
representatives in Congress and the leaders of the admin-
_. istradon hear it.
And that they understand that it is not a philosophi-
cal question but a matter of practical, day-to-day impor-
tance to all the cities and towns of this country and to
every person living in them.
