V. Camper Park Dear Mayor Williams, Council Members and City Managers I have been very interested in putting in a R. V. Park in the City of Kenai and have spent considerable time, last year and the year before, making a personal survey to determine the economic feasibility and have made a more in-depth survey this year. j All of the surveys that indicate that there are very definite requirements that I don't think can be substituted or alleviated in selecting the location or type of camper park that would be acceptable to the public. Of paramount importance area 1. Location. All of the people I have discussed location with feel the R.V. Park should be within walking distance of the -- commercial area for shopping purposes, preferably within one .quarter mile or at most one-half mile away from the major shopping area. Since the City of Kenai's shopping area is basically the mall area we are talking about from one -quarter to one-half mile of the downtown mall, which would also be within walking distance of the post office, the shopping center back of the malle and the strip malls to the south along the Spur Highway. 2. Sewers 0 f the things that seems to be of paramount ' importance to most .people is sewer -hook-ups. I did not F 5.S 4. 2 L city of Kenai Page 2 think this was going to be important) i thought a dump station would suffices however, most of the people we have talked to want sewer hook-up so that they can use their R.V.'s to the fullest extent without having to unhook, go to a dump station and then pull back into their parking space. i 3. Water and Electricity$ Without question water and electricity will have to be provided to each site. Sor for all practical purposes, there will have to be three major utilities to each site, sewer, water and electricity. 4. Adequate space: i The people that we have talked to would like adequate space between R.V.'s. They don't like to be jammed up with only three or four feet between R.V.'s. They would prefer a space of eight or ten feet on the door side so that they can extend awnings if necessary and can sit outside of i their R.V.'s when and if the weather is nice. So an R.V. i space would have to be about twenty feet wide to provide a =� strip between trailers. i Although i feel a lot of the traveling public in R.V.'s would probably accept minimal services to each site, the idea is to provide a location where they will stay several days rather than just overnight. One of the biggest complaints that i have heard this year is that they have no place on the Kenai Peninsula where they can hook-up and stay while they do their laundry and still have access• not only to the river, but to retail establishments. Generally R.V. people have to pull into the mail parking lots for several hours at a time to shop, then leave and go to some remote place where they can spend the night. They are very dissatisfied with this situation. { From the stand point of how many people will use the facilities or how long a period of time they will stay is speculative. We know for a fact that the earliest that the park would be used would be around May 15 of each yo091 probably the latest the park would be used to any extent would be September 15th of each year. With the heaviest concentration being during the later part of June• July and + the _ f i ret part of August. - t --- - -- - - - -- - - - - To put it simply an R.V. park should be within one-half M , . ''— - 1 City of Kenai Page 3 mile of the Kenai Mall in any directions but preferably within one -quarter mile and close to the Spur Hwy. The park �I should have spaces of at least 10 to 20 foot in width and a minimum of 35 feet long to take care of the longer R.V.'s a considerable portion of the spaces should be pass -through or pull -through for longer R.V.'s pulling cars or boats. The services provided should be sewer, water, electric and laundry facilities. There should be someone on duty to look after the park and to provide services to the R. V. Owners. { As I reiterated to some of the members of the Council and to the City Manager in the past this is going to be a - very seasonal proposition, not more than three months at most. As a result the use of City land for that purpose is going to have to be land that the City is not going to use themselves any time soon, and the amount of lease payments is going to have to be based on a three to four month use rather than a twelve month use or a percentage of the gross - -- '. revenue, as this particular facility will provide no income for eight or nine months out of the year. I have enclosed herewith a plot plan for roughly 30 to 32 spaces that could be put on a piece of property roughly 200 ft: wide and 350 ft. long. As you will note there are thirty-three spaces and that is all the area could y, accommodate. However, there should be at least an area of approximately the same size adjacent that could be used for expansion purposes in the event the R.V. park is successful and over the years it becomes necessary to increase the number of spaces. I have spent considerable time, looking at the various areas around the City that would be acceptable as an R.V. Park. I've looked at the parcel that the Council has suggested over next to the ball fields on Main Btreetj that parcel is much too small and doesn't lend itself to expansion without taking up the area of one of the ball parks. The area across the street from the Catholic Church �}. has been considered, but the biggest drawback is the distance from the downtown coreo one of the main purposes b R V owners to the of location is to provide easy access, y merchants of the City of Kenai and the church location is f beyond the walking distance that is the optimum. The area that had originally been mentioned, back of Craycroft s Crysier on Marathon Road presents problems. My contractor. and engineer tell me that we cannot use that parcel for a park if we are going to put in underground utilities, that f it IN El . .1 L L 0 City of Kenai Page 4 the ground is not stable and would provide more maintenance headaches than it would be worth. Also, it is also a little bit too far from the shopping areas. The most -desirable piece of property location wise is the parcel on the southwest corner of Beaver ioop-and-the Frontage R044, presently being used as a football field. The second most desirable piece of property is that area between the FAA facilities and the bluff and east of the Senior Citizens Center. This particular parcel is acceptable for a number of reasons. The bluff apparently is continuing to sluff at a -rather steady rate so any major construction on that bluff would be in jeopardy unless the bluff could be stablized. In the past, the Corps. of Engineers has objected to any efforts to stabilize the bluff. Another reason why the area is of interest is the Senior Citizens Center is located adjacent to this parcel and most of the traveling R.V. owners are senior citizens. This should bold interest for both the Senior Citizens Center and for the traveling public. Another reason that this parcel is of interest, beyond location, is the fact that sewer and water are available without expense to the City* one of the requirements for the use of the property back of Chrysler Center on Marathon Road was the fact that sewer and water would have to be brought to the area at a cost of sixty or seventy thousand dollars. I am ready, willing and able to put an R.V. park in the City at the present time as long as sewer and water is available and the location meets the criterion that I have mentioned above. I realize that the property on the frontage road and to the North of the FAA towers where the football field is prime property. Although I would like to have that for the R. V. Park, the portion back of the PAA: facilities where the old PAA housing was would be acceptable and I would make the following proposa 1t a. That the City lease to us an area of at least 200 ft by 350 ft. on water and sewer as the primary location with room to expand. b. That the lease rental shall be predicated either on four months use or as an alternative, a percentage of the gross revenues and I suggest 609 c. That all the underground utilities and roads would be -installed at my cost, i Rp ;ars L n' City of Kenai Page 5 de The lease can be terminated by the city at anytime within the lease period in the month of October of any y the city paying for the value of our improvements, i.e., gravel roads and underground utilities. The City would always have the option# if they have a project to better utilize the property to terminate the lease. Right now I cannot foresee any need or use by the city for along period of time* that would meet the criteria lproperties istedabove# Ithat I dwouldkbew about happy to consider those also. I would appreciate your kind consideration of my atsllwdereasons�.e city an early decision as aocationforthree discussions ashtoevarious and lalready wasted two years ocationscosbecause of cost, (2) To be effective there will have to be an ad in the Alaska magazine and the Mile Post this fall so that people arriving in Alaska and in the Kenai area will be aware that there is a an R.V. park available that has full h ookuts and is close to the retail center of town. (3) All of the underground utilities should be placed in the ground this year before the R.V. park opens in May of 1988. The decision is going to have to be made relatively soon so as not to lose what is left of the 1967 construction season in making the necessary tap—inse I hope that we can locate some property that is acceptable to the city as well as myself as I am most anxious to get started so that construction can be completed in late August and early September.

I will establish a regular reporting or communi- cation to your office so that you can answer any inquiries that are directed to you and your office. I am suggesting initially that I begin with this letter and a follow-up communication in October or November. I will be going out to clean up trash this week. Agronomist, Stoney Wright, Plant Materials Center, (PMC), Palmer, has two types of grass plots alongthe first street side of the plot. They were established (planted) 1n 1984 and he has been collecting data annually. One type of Stoney's plots is called the Demonstration Plots where he has 5 grass species and 2 legume species growing. The species utilized in this plot are species that are recommended in the Revegative Guide for Alaska to determine their survivability in this area and were fertilized at 3 different rates per acre. Stoney's second plot is called the Advanced Evaluation Plot. This plot is replicated 3 times and consists of 51 species (50 grasses species and 1 forb specie). Some of the species in the plot are known to do well in Alaska (in general); and some species are commonly used 'Outside' for reclamation Purposes and are being evaluated in the Kenai Plot. estThe sspecies have been - r . fertilized only once, when they were 4 d. Both the Demonstration and Advanced Evaluation plots are being continued by the Plant Materials Center. 7 -.14-._w J .� �• M Brighton 5/4/87 I Pg . 2 In October of 1986, several plantings of woody material was planted to establish a wind break or barrier along the Main Street Loop and in the interior of the plot. I see this as one of the important tong range plans, to reduce the sites' exposure to constant wind. Willow (Salix brachycar a) and Clematis tan uica are .the two plant iaterials used -for -the planting nting an will take several years before they become ef- fective in reducing surface wind and wind velocity. Kathy Wright, PMC Horticulturist, will continue to maintain ..and evaluate woody materials. My own plans for the 1987 season are to: 1) establish a turf specie and variety demonstration along f the Main Street Loop side of the plot. There is always a need to evaluate and demonstrate turf varieties suitable for home and business lawns; recreation fields and athletic fields. f 2) research tri81 utilizing 10 varieties of potatoes. This will be replicated 3 times and data collected for research purposes. The potatoes are being supplied by Dr. Don Car. ling, Palmer Agriculture 6 Forestry Experiment Station. 3) one local 4-H Club will establish and monitor for at least 3 years a planting of Toklat strawberries and Kisska rasp- berries. Both berries were developed by,the Agriculture & Forestry Experiment Station. 4) make available some space for a community garden to be used and cared for by the local citizens at large. 5) keep the weeds and trash cleaned up and the plot in an , acceptable appearance to the public. r !

ROLL CALL Present: Smalley, Bryson, Church, Mishou, O'Reilly, Osborne Absent: Lewis (excused) 2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA - Agenda approved with the addition of item 3-a for Twin City ` Raceway 3. PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD a sign for Twin City Raceway - Mrs. Fred Pollard Mr. Pollard is a partner in a group that has taken over the Twin City Raceway. The raceway has been dormant for several years, this is the first year the property has been opened up for I business again. In 1971 the former owners of the raceway placed a sign adjacent to property described as Lot 14, Blk B, Beaver Creek Alaska S/D. During the time the raceway was inactive the sign remained in this location, eventually reaching a state of disrepair. sometime within the last week, the building inspector informed the 1 new owners that the sign must be removed, the owners complied. They were also informed that they could not put a new sign back up in that it violates the sign code section pertaining to a sign advertising the business at the same location as the business itself. The Pollards have asked to come before the Commission for help in determining if this ordinance does indeed apply, in that the sign has been at this location with no objections for several years. Commissioner Mishou asked for an explanation of "Grandfather Rights", which was given. Commissioner Smalley asked if the Grandfather Rights go with a change of ownership, answer yes. Commissioner O'Reilly asked about the moving of the sign, answer it was at the direction of the building inspector. Commissioner Smalley stated that depending upon the size of the sign, there is 1 one problem with the location of the sign as they are proposing it, --which is that there -are a_-lot-of_three-wheelers.-that cross the road there, and if it were placed on the east side where it used --� - --- - - to- be,. -it would -not -inhibit- -anyone coming off the road. Mrs. Pollard agreed, stating that the location is not a factor. Commissioner Mishou asked for the ownership of the land on the 4 i� L 10 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION July 22, 1987 Page 2 east side of the road, answer, it belongs to the State. Commissioner Smalley stated that there used to be a dump station at that site. Possibly Petrolane, Commissioner Smalley asked if there was anything in the current sign code concerning being that far away from the business, answer yes. A sign must be located on the property it advertises. When that ordinance went into effect I'm not sure, was it in 1983 when we did all those revisions, answer from Commissioner Bryson, wasn't there regulations addressing signs long before there was a sign ordinance. Has someone determined that this is a grandfather? Answer no. Commissioner Smalley noted that they said Howard told them they had to request a variance at the cost of $100. Commissioner Bryson stated that the grandfather issue would probably need to be evaluated. I know the raceway has been there for quite a long time, but the sign.... Commissioner Smalley stated that the sign has been there since I have been here. Commissioner Bryson stated that there has been something addressing signs for a long time also. Commissioner O'Reilly noted that the raceway started in 1971 because it was the year we moved here. Commissioner Smalley noted that he moved to Beaver Loop in 1974 and the sign was up then. Commissioner Smalley felt he had no problem with the sign and it is nice having it back there because a lot of people like to utilize the tract, but on the other hand, I agree that this body may not be able to determine if this is a grandfather issue. Specialist Loper asked if it is the wishes of the Commission that Pollards proceed with the variance. Commissioner Mishou asked which procedure would guarantee them that they could put up the sign and it would stay there without being harassed. Answer the variance would. Mrs. Pollard stated that there is no road frontage at all. If we put a sign up on the property no one would see it. Local folks would know its there, but those coming down from Anchorage and we have a couple of entrants from Fairbanks already, they don't know where it is. Commissioner Smalley noted that there has been a sign that still hasn't come down that advertises the shooting range. it's on the edge of the road and illegal also. Why is that. Answer from Specialist Loper, perhaps because it is a temporary sign. Mrs. Pollard stated that last week they put a sign on a trailer and pulled it out to the ditch. r) Commissioner Smalley asked if they are objecting to paying the fee for the variance to have the sign there. Answer from Mrs. Pollard, I wouldn't object, however, our company is just starting up and with the vandalism we had Saturday night, we are short of cash. Commissioner Mishou expressed surprise at the vandalism, Mrs.- pollard -answered -that it -was extensive, the toilets_ were destroyed, fences, and the mechanics area. Commissioner Smalley suggested to move forward -on this issue we - -' __.., -2 ....__,..... &u.4. +1.1 n 41gn is grandfathered and allow them to at happens. Answer from specialist Loper, j4 i i PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION July 22, 1987 Page 3 she would then put her sign back I believe. Commissioner Nishou stated that then should it be addressed again in the same manner, and perhaps someone decides to levy a fine on them, that won't help. Commissioner Smalley asked if they could be levied a fine if we take action can they? MOTION: Commissioner O'Reilly moved that we grant Twin City Raceways Grandfather Rights to construct a sign at the original location, seconded by Commissioner Mishou. `{ Commissioner Bryson stated that he would like some determination of the time frame on the ordinance prior to construction. The -- - - - -- - - f Commission agreed. Commissioner Church asked if tt►_ie could happen j� prior to the next race, answer a variance would take about two weeks. Commissioner Smalley noted that the time would not allow them to have a sign up prior to the next race. The Commission -suggested a temporary sign of some type, perhaps the idea of the sign on the trailer and a flat tire. The Commission also noted 3f that a temporary sign would give them all winter to work on the necessary permits. The end of the season is the first of September, therefore the temporary sign would be a good 7i alternative. ..... i VOTE: Motion passed unanimously 4. PUBLIC HEARINGS " None S.

Representative from Civil Air Patrol - Relocation & Upgrade = Tom Thibodeau Commander, and Tom Sumey, Deputy Commander appeared ' representing the -Civil Air Patrol. Chairman Irwin opened the issue by explaining that this has been -- - -- - -- -- discussed several meetings ago: --At that -time CAP was not -- -- - - I — - -- - -- --- - - - included. Tom Surrey: as a result of conversations with the Mayor we originally appeared before Council to request the current paving � � o 1 AIRPORT COMMISSION - Minutes July 23, 1987 Page 2 project be extended to the CAP hanger. The Council said that funds are not available due to the fact that this property, while federal as well, is considered private property. The Council did not appear to understand why the system divides two federal functions in this way. Soldotna got into a situation where they were going to relocate to allow the City greater use of prime property, they were told that the city would provide a portion of the cost of the hanger and lands. Wing Headquarters was to supplement the rest of the cost, however, it never did happen. The Soldotna squadron has closed and it's members have slowly joined the -Kenai squadron. As you know, Kenai and Soldotna have not always been on the most cordial of terms, however, those that have Keonai doesSnototna wanthave been get into made welcome and they seem happy. the same posture. The reason for the request is that we are non-profit. There are no paid members except for 2 which are in Anchorage at the headquarters for the state. All bills such as utilities are paid by the Department of Public Safety out of a state budget. Last year we had to shut off the electricity and gas several times due to budget cuts. Currently there are two corporate planes based in Kenai, a Beaver, soon to be on floats, and a ley on wheels with a Cessna 150 available for the cadet program, plus 16 private planes on the tie -down used by members. There have been a number of prop strikes from the gravel pad. We are not here to propose ideas, but rather at the direction of Council and to bounce around some ideas. We would not oppose moving to another facility on the airport nor would we mind moving in order to allow the city to make some money from a prime piece of property, if we could get a facility close to the present one, i.e. hanger, office, acreage, etc. We just got the Beaver on floats and perhaps we could work to gain both interests. The Air Guard is planning to move to Kenai and the Council is considering donating some property and placing us near them. Chairman Irwin stated, "that would depend on whether CAP came under the Dept. of Military Affairs. The budget would take care of that. How much federal funding comes to CAP other than through the Dept. of Public Safety. Mr. Sumey answered that recently the CAP has come under the DPS. The CAP has been in a posture of having to sell Birddogs and floats in order to raise enough money to pay the hull insurance for the state planes for the year. Papers show the land was given to the Kenai Squadron not to Wing. 7 Commissioner Knopper asked if the city had anything comparable, Airpor-t-Manager -Ernst_-answered-that because the CAP has a private membership and are limited, ADAP will not let us use funds for the ideas spoken of.- Administration has talked about moving the CAP to lands north of the tower with your -own -facility-and-runway.- As - - --- ----- - — --, far as the float plane basin is concerned, it would not be feasible to have a building in that vicinity, it would be like I AIRPORT COMMISSION - Minutes July 23, 1987`� i Page 3 placing a building between the runway and taxiway. The land is more valuable to the City as space for an FBO or expansion of the tie -down facilities. "Personally, I think it is a good idea and it would get you into a decent facility." Whatever costs involved would have to come through city funding rather than airport € funding. That will have to be proposed to Council. Now is a bad {{ time, if it were to be used later for something else. Mr. Sumey stated that they would need to return to the Kenai and Anchorage membership to inform them of the discussion this " -evening. We are also looking at the aircraft maintenance section moving to Kenai from Anchorage. Currently, all CAP aircraft on a statewide basis, must fly their aircraft to Anchorage for either routine or special maintenance. For some time, Anchorage has been in a financial situation where they have had to close a large maintenance hangar and use the space available at Merrill Field in the Polaris Squadron hangar. There is money available to provide _ a hangar, however, there is no space available in Anchorage and what space is available is cost prohibitive. Mr. Thibodeau stated that right now, all aircraft from all over the state come to Anchorage for their maintenance and I on sure that if we could provide a facility, Anchorage would move down, esp. in view of the '-' fact that Kenai is a more central point with less crowded - conditions. Then if the Air Guard moved down you are looking at expanding branches of both. Chairman Irwin, then any way you need to present a plan of what ! Kenai would need, and also with that if you moved maintenance what that would add to it then give us an idea of the amount of usage. + Mr. Thibodeau answered that ideally, we would need the same amount j, of land, considering the maintenance facility, they would need space for several aircraft which would be coming in on a statewide basis. Mr. Sumey stated that what we need locally are 16 tie down spaces and the same size facility because we can get 3 planes in the hangar now with one more coming down. The wing maintenance is going to a bigger facility and if Kenai had one and the entire Wing maintenance were to come down then we would need twice the 0 space, however, that does not appear to be what You want.- Wing _ has 2.8 million more or less available for a facility, where ever they decide to locate. 1 Chairman Irwin addressed the money issue stating that we need to know first who the funding authority is.

Commissioner Knopper asked is there property we could look at acquiring in the near future, answer from Manager Ernst, no. �f r, I i N: 1, AIRPORT COMMISSION - Minutes July 23, 1987 Page 4 To recoup the cost of the move, paving, the facility, etc., we would need to look for a smaller piece of property. Mr. Thibodeau stated that the Kenai Squadron had been approached about the move and that you were interested. Manager Ernst stated that we need to work on this more and will know more at a later date. We have a new tie down facility for 40 spaces with 8 of those filled. Chairman Irwin suggested a letter from the City to the CAP regarding what we have discussed. Manager Ernst agreed, stating we need to get some of the ideas down and check with the City Manager and the Council. 4. APPROVAL OF MINUTES of June 11, 1987 Minutes were approved as submitted 5.

Manager Ernst also reported on the status of funding, it is too late this year to receive the money, Mr. Ernst will reapply next year. Manager Ernst reported on Mr. Doyle's project to use a conveyor in the float plane basin project. Manager Ernst stated that the City may need to advertise that we are now taking applications for float plane slips. Right now we do not have a management plan. We need to get into more of the details of the project. Council wanted to begin with a bare bones project and it will be that. We are looking at opening of the basin for the summer of 1989.

Review Proposal from Wards Landscaping - Airport Triangle Park At the meeting of July 14th, Wards Landscaping had been invited to speak on the Memorial Park Project. During the course of the discussion, Marcia Ward had indicated an interest in work on the Airport Park project. The Committee asked Mrs. Ward to proceed as all prior efforts to get that project underway had met with no response. Mrs. Ward and Mrs. Callahan returned to this meeting with a plan for developing the park. Mrs. Callahan presented a blue line drawing of a design for the park which could be expanded upon at any time. The design lays out three main focal points which would be enclosed by the railroad ties purchased last year. The plan also included a planting box which would use flowers to spel-I out the word KENAI. The word would be outlined in black and would be prepared for planting with potting soil and could be planted each year. The entire park project is planned with minimum maintenance in mind. There is a drainage in the center of the park which is perfect for watering purposes, however, the present contouring is not efficient for watering and draining purposes. The plan would have to include some -contouring and some better grade-- topsoil, -plus some hydro seeding as money is available. The plan does not --include the price -of hydro seeding -at -the present time. -The water-__— -- U 0% � - -_-1-- - - - - --- A--- - - - L i •i' s, i Fa KENAI BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE July 28, 1987 Page 2 line available to the park will need to be finished in order to facilitate watering once the park is underway. Total cost of the project is just under $6,500 and this price i includes a donation from Wards Landscaping of trees valued at just over $2,000. These trees are on the design at the three corners of the park. MOTION: Committee Member Jackson moved to recommend to Council to approve this project submitted by Wards Landscaping as presented and is being done due to the fact that volunteers and other sources have not completed the project, seconded by Committee Member Selby. VOTE: Motion passed unanimously The Committee wishes to stress to the Council that this park has been in the planning stages since early 1985. Since then the price tag for the park has ranged from as high as $255,000 submitted by Ron Kasprisin, to $103,179.75 submitted by Carmen Gintoli, a revised estimate coming in at $42,421.89 to the current cost figure of just under $6,500 submitted by Wards Landscaping. The Rotary Club of Kenai and Soldotna had submitted a plan to create the design submitted by Mr. Gintoli, however, to date that project has not succeeded. The current design would allow room for any future volunteer group to under take a much smaller task to enhance this space. Wards Landscaping suggests that at this time of year, most nurseries which market flowers close their doors July 316t. Any plants left at that date will be thrown out and perhaps the City would be able to use some of those plants until spring when new more permanent plants can be used. Marcia Ward informed the Committee that they intend to donate one of the rose gardens proposed for the Leif Hansen Memorial Park. This will be the garden in front of the fountain. The cost of the project will be itemized and presented to the City prior to the next Council meeting packet day. 6. NEW BUSINESS None 1 7.

Mrs. Callahan and Mrs. Ward made several suggestions, however, with no water available any live plantings would prove futile.

Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. 0 Public Works Director Kornelis explained, the j contractor has been ill, he will be starting next week. i ` Councilwoman Bailie said the Beautification Committee ! is looking at a continuous service for landscaping of the Memorial Park. Wards Landscaping has provided drawings. They proposed the base to be $150-$200, l depending on the size. The trees would be 2" in diameter, a ft. to 10 ft. tali. Some would be clumped. Wards was the only one that met the criteria. The committee got some advice from the Anchorage Parks Dept. They contacted every landscape representative in the area. There are plaques available for $100. The memorials would not cost more than $350. Councilman Malston asked if the trees were guaranteed. Councilwoman Bailie replied, for at least one year. The Recreation Dept. cannot provide service. She noted the Legal Dept. did not feel comfortable with this. i Atty. Rogers explained, he is. not aware of the total expenditures on this. If it is professional services, there is no problem. If not, even though there has been work, we may have to go out to bid. He cannot advise Council without checking the Code.. He noted this does not have to be decided this date. 4 Councilwoman Bailie said the trees will not be planted right away, but people have contacted us that they want i to participate. The senior Citizens have volunteered to help handle arrangements with the families. Atty. Rogers explained, it is not an expenditure of public �i funds, this concerns him. Councilwoman Bailie said it may fill up in one year or 10 years. Atty. Rogers explained a private individual must pay private funds to a private individual for public service. Councilwoman Bailie said they will pay the City. Atty. Rogers explained, the City will act as intermediary. Councilwoman Bailie replied, they will be using a public facility. Atty. Rogers said he will have a r@port at the_Aug. 5 meeting. City Manager Brighton _. Public - asked, when will the park be ready for trees? Public works Director Kornelis replied, the contractor has 60 days. He - is having a hard time -getting the -designate - - materials. City Manager Brighton asked Councilwoman 'r �+ KENAI CITY COUNCIL - - DULY 15, 1987 Page 3 Bailie if that created a problem. Councilwoman Bailie replied no, they are looking at a cut-off date of Aug. 16, but last year they were planting lawns in Oct. I _ Public Works Director Kornelis said the bid requirement number -is $6,500. if is is under this, we do not require a bid. Regarding professional services, we have had landscaping and trees in contracts before. C-2 Ord. 1222-87 - Increas. Rev/Appns - Float Plane Basin - $2,189,239 t MOTION: ! Councilwoman Bailie moved, seconded by Councilman Mccomsey, to adopt the ordinance. PUBLIC COMMENT: a. Charles Ross, 505 Pine, Kenai. He asked, what is the cost of the completed project? Public Works Director Kornelis replied, the basic bid is $712,353, the alternate (road into the float plane basin) is $57,668, the 2nd alternate (road into future lease holders) is $77,254. Mr. Ross asked if there would be floats in the lake. Answer - no. Mr. Ross asked, what will the annual operating cost be? Mr. Kornelis replied, there has been a report. He anticipates it will be very low. Mr. Ross asked, has the City made a survey regarding the numbers that will use it. Answer - yes. Mr. Ross asked, how does the city anticipate recovering the cost? He stated, he did not feel the City can recoup their cost and he did not want planes going over his house. Airport Manager Ernst replied, it will not be cost-effective. He explained, we received these moneys from the Federal government through enplanements. The stipulation is that we have 3 years to use the funds at the airport to improve services to the public. Cost-effectiveness does not enter into it. Mr. Ross noted Kenai is like Wisconsin - land of 10,000 lakes. There are alternatives to the float plane basin. We could use the funds for other airport uses. Mr. Ernst noted the City has had 2 public hearings regarding this. Mr. Ross said there are other uses for the money. He is worried the City will have something that is not economically feasible. Councilwoman Monfor expressed her concerns: a) When we - - expend -this money, - it -will- take out all the FAA- allocation. b) our dealings with FAA have never been great. She sees them deteriorating now. c) The Council has been most vocal regarding schools, now we .P L KENAI CITY COUNCIL JULY 15, 1987 Page 4 are building a float plane basin that will not be cost effective. d) No one has taken the time to explain to her why we need this. Councilwoman Bailie said we are not going to be spending $2 Million, but $800,000+. We need to remind ourselves of a few years ago. The airport looked like a millstone for Kenai, it is now our greatest asset. in 1949 there were 10,000 people in Anchorage, now they have the largest float plane basin in the world. This may not pay for itself for 5 years, but it will in time. This is one way to diversify our income. Tourism is the 2nd largest industry in the -State,- we should tap into this. it has been very popular in other parts of the State. Councilwoman Monfor said regarding Lake Hood and Lake Spenard (float plane lakes in Anchorage), the only difference between them and Kenai is this is much smaller and planes coming in there are not landing over large subdivisions. Councilman Measles disagreed. I VOTE (Passed)t Yest Bailie, Mccomsey, Malston, Measles No: Monfor Councilwoman Bailie asked if this includes landscaping. Public Works Director Kornelis replied yes, FAA i requires us to do some seeding. Engineer Wm. Nelson_ added, about 70 acres. Councilwoman Bailie asked if he thought this was a feasible amount. Answer - yes. Councilwoman Monfor noted the difference in the bid amount, will the rest go back to ADAP fund? City Manager Brighton replied, it is their intent to use State funds up front and the remainder ($300,000+) will go to ADAP. C-3 Ord. 1223-87 - Amend.

Vice Mayor Measles noted that could be professional services or government. ADDED ITEM: Councilwoman Bailie suggested we need to give the comet/comet the right to elect their own chairman. That is not being done at this time. Atty. Rogers replied, Roberts Rules of Order presides. Vice Mayor Measles noted there have been appointments made on new commissions, but not on the old commissions. Councilman Malston suggested the election of the chairman should be in the Code. Atty.

H-3 Disc. - Grant Writing Proposal City Manager Brighton explained, one of the problems is that the concept as originally proposed is not acceptable. Paying them as they get grants at no cost to the City cannot be done. We will have to appropriate the money on a grant -by -grant basis. It would have to come from general fund. Councilman Malston suggested these proposals be acknowledged and have a work session. He asked, if someone in the City is getting grants now, would they be getting a percentage also? City Manager Brighton explained, he understood this proposal would be grants from large private companies and would not transgress on what the City has done in the past. PUBLIC COMMENT: Jack Brown, Birchwood, Nikiski. It would be cheaper for the City to look at an hourly basis. His figure is $50 per hour. it could be performance -based (number of hours available with a bonus if grant received). He has not been denied a grant in 8 years.- Money is tough now; but in spite of the down -turn there is money available. Block grants for water & sewer will be l going for economic development, the City could try for the float plane basin. Tourism, capital improvement projects, recreation centers, new facilities, service i grants are available. There is a lot of competition. It takes 80 to 150 hours to write a grant application. Kenai is a 1st class city, they can request many types of grants. it is important to: a) look at the grant writer's ability. b) look at his legislative contacts. c) look at his ability to have a good working relationship with State employees. Councilwoman Bailie asked, a) does the City have to tell him what to request or does he do this? b) is it geared to a certain time of year or are -they all through the year? Mr. Brown replied, you get on State and Federal mailing lists. You also have to read the newspapers. A grant writer should work directly with the City Manager and should have a detailed contract. Councilwoman Monfor said Kenai has a lobbyist, would it be worthwhile for him to work with the grant writer? Answer - yes. Councilwoman Bailie suggested -Council -meet -with -the - lobbyist in Sept.

Councilman McComsey noted P&Z had approved the request. Motion passed by unanimous consent. H-5 Disc. - Columbia Ward - Appl. for AK Fisheries Business Tax Credit City Manager Brighton explained Council did not have to act on this right now. The City has not received a copy of the application, but we cannot do anything till the State approves. Salamatof made an application to the State, it was approved. Council had rejected it because it was not timely. This is the same thing. This is why Council has asked for a change in fish tax laws. It can deplete the amount the City gets and have no bearing on the amount the Borough gets. Councilwoman Bailie asked if we had made the State aware of this fact. Mr. Brighton replied some legislators and DOR have been made aware. A bill will be pre -filed before the next legislative session. He has talked to Homer & Seward city managers, they will support this. Kenai legislators asked him to talk to the Borough Assembly members and iron it out lot. Councilwoman Bailie suggested we share with the Borough till this is ironed out. Mr. Brighton replied he did not think they would agree to this. Councilwoman Bailie suggested we try to work this out with the State Atty. Genl. office. Mr. Brighton explained the idea behind the original bill was good. It was designed to add additional tax base to an area by enouraging up -dating of the plants. Part of the fish tax would come back to them. But the problem is, the Kenai Borough is unique. Councilman McComsey-asked, have these permits been approved by the State? Answer - yes. Mr. Brighton expressed concerns: a) We have spent money to improve the economic climate. We are not responsible for this law. if we reject this, we may undo a lot of that. b) With a 2nd class borough and a 1st class city within, there is an unfair situation the legislature is not aware of. Councilwoman -Bailie_ .said _Council_ has_ the option to refuse payment. Can we approve partial payment? Atty. ers replied,_that_would be disapproving it. He did not think we had that option. Councilman Malston-as ed if this was a one-time deal. Mr. Brighton replied they ,a - - - - ---. 1 L I._ KENAI CITY -COUNCIL JULY 15, 1987 Page 10 can come back every time they have a major project. He explained, fish tax collected by our processors in Kenai is split 50% by the State, 25% Borough, 25% City. Finance Director Brown explained, they apply to the State for credit, the State approves. If the City wants to, they can get the City portion. If the City takes no action, they are not getting anything. Mr. Brighton noted if we do not get the law changed, Salamatof will be back. Vice Mayor Measles asked, if we approve this, will it weaken our position? Mr. Brighton replied he did not think it will have any bearing. We are asking that the State get 50% and we get 50% inside the Cityl outside the City, the State gets 50%, the Borough gets 50%. Councilman Malston said we should send a letter to Columbia Ward explaining why we are not taking action. Council agreed to the suggestion and took no further action. H-6 Disc. - AK -Korea Business Council - Trade Show, Korea - Nov. 28 to Dec. 5 Councilwoman Monfor said she did not think there was anything we can do that the State cannot do. Council took no action. H-7 Approval - Comm/Comm Secretary Contract - FY 88 Councilwoman Monfor said we should take into consideration that we now have Airport Commission, Economic Development Commission, Harbor Commission and new Bicentennial Commission. It is money well spent. It has taken a load off Administration. She has appreciated completed minutes in the packet. There is a lot of work involved. Councilwoman Bailie said because of the City's volunteers we have saved money. We have tried other things like tape recorders, the minutes were late. She feels she knows what is going on when she reviews the minutes. It does exceed the budget, but does Council feel it was effective? MOTION: Councilwoman Bailie moved, seconded by Councilwoman Monfor, to accept Peninsula Postal bid.

Councilwoman Monfor suggested putting a not-to-exceed also a amount in the bid. vice Mayor Measles suggested not -to -exceed amount for hours. Councilman Malston suggested going out to bid with an hourly rate. Clerk Whelan replied she had proposed it this way and it was changed. Finance Director Brown explained, the Legal Dept. felt it would make the applicant an employee. vice Mayor Measles said we do not want another employee, but we do not want to pay more than the other employees. Councilman Malston asked, don't -we have any other employees that are hourly? Atty. Rogers replied, the problem is with secretaries, are they profesurtsal? si Training, experience, supervision, etc. and workmans' compensation call them employees had nowheneve possible to allow them to collect benefits. problem with rejecting and re -bidding. He added, the original contract said "under the supervision of the Clerk." He thought that sounded like an employee so he took it out.

Councilman Mccomsey noted they did not come to the meeting. Councilwoman Bailie said time is of the essence, there is a problem with raising the money now. Atty. Rogers explained, in the past Council has never looked into the past of these requests. There is a body of law that takes care of this. For Council to get into subjectivity is a matter Council has not done in the past. Councilwoman Bailie noted, what if he took off with the money? There is a concern because money has been mis-used here. Atty. Rogers advised Council to act on the information they have. The burden is on Mr. Birch. He added, he would be uncomfortable in carrying out Council direction to pursue more facts. They should come to Council. Councilman Malston said normally we are familiar with the ones that come through and they are approved. They are asking for something, we do not know them. He felt an obligation to approve to help the kids, but he felt uncomfortable not knowing anything about this. He asked, where is the application? Clerk Whelan replied, it is in Juneau. Councilwoman Monfor suggested a telephone poll if we can get information. Clerk Whelan replied, that can only be done if it is financial, we could have an opinion poll. Finance Director Brown said Airport Manager Ernst knows Mr. Birch. Atty. Rogers said there is nothing before Council. Council took no action. H-10 Change Order, OTECO Inc. - JABBA Project Councilwoman Bailie asked, why didn't the engineer put in the design if it is needed? Public Works Director Kornelis explained; -he--reviewed-the--drawings-and-found-- a problem. He tried to get OceanTech to put a ditch there. The- corps.--af- -- - - - - -ed they fill it in. This was the only cage. He did the best he could with the L L. 1f KENAI CITY COUNCIL JULY 15, 1987 Page 13 !! drainage, a new property owner came to him and asked for a ditch. He contacted the property owners, now they are in favor of it. DEC requires a siltation barrier. Councilwoman Bailie asked, what would happen if the new property owner had not convinced them? Mr. Kornelis replied, the area around the road would have been flooded. There was no solution at that time. MOTION: Councilman Malston moved, seconded by Councilwoman _ Monfor, to approve the request. Motion passed by unanimous consent. I. ADMINISTRATION REPORTS I-1 City Manager Councilwoman Bailie asked City Manager Brighton if he had contacted FAA regarding the new facility. Mr. Brighton replied, he will be hearing from an FAA representative 7-16. Over the phone he had indicated the small communities involved are complaining to their senators. They are "stonewalling" it. Mr. Brighton felt FAA would go ahead with the project. He told FAA there would be substantial objection if they move in without paying $40,000. The City is not spending $1.5 Million on a facility for them to move out of a . facility and move in free. He told Mr. Brighton he understood, he will get the transfers in. Councilwoman Bailie said we did our part in good faith. They said by 1990 they would be moved, now they are saying 1992. Mr. Brighton said they will move some people immediately upon moving into the facility. It may be 1992 before they complete it. Councilwoman Bailie said there is a good chance it may never be completed with III: the forces involved. The airlines assoc. is lobbying against it. Son. Stevens is `against it. She suggested contract that the we discuss put in an addition to the Y �. live up to the agreement. Councilman Malston said we should correspond with our representatives regarding -- this. Councilwoman Bailie said we should have this in writing. There is nothing in the contract but they committed themselves in discussion. Son. Stevens has said he cannot support unless he is assured 100% there will not be a problem. we cannot assure that. Councilman McComsey asked if there is a time when this 1 X is a contract and we can evict them if they do not bring -people -in. if -not, we should -not--let-them move - - in. Atty. Rogers explained, over the course of meetings -and - revisions -of' -contracts, -there is almost - - - - - - unfettered discretion for FAA. There is some ground for a good faith contract for the City but it is not a rl 0 l KENAI CITY COUNCIL JULY 15, 1987 Page 14 strong contract for the City. Councilman Malston said they are not living up to their end of the bargain. Mr. Brighton explained, there is nothing to live up to till Sept. They were supposed to bring 70 to 80 families in. Councilman Malston said they have a $1-1/2 Million building for $1 per year for 20 years and option for the next 20 years. They said they i wanted to move in by 19670 now they are not going to. Do we have room for negotiation? Mr. Brighton replied, we do not know what they will do. Councilman Malston said at this point Mr. Brighton is in contact with FAA, we should let him negotiate. Councilwoman Bailie suggested an amendment that occupying of the building will begin in 1987_and all people will be moved in by 1990. At that time if they do not fulfill their agreement, rent will be levied retroactive to the 1st j date of occupancy. Mr. Brighton noted by translating this message they will know we are serious about this. I-2 Attorney None I-3 Mayor R` None I-4 City Clerk I i Clerk Whelan spoke. � a. The AML reception in conjunction with Soldotna is } scheduled for 7-17-87. She asked for a count of { Council members attending. l 3 b. There is a balance of 13 days on the Freedom j Almanac production on KCSY. The Chamber has proposed to pay 1/2 of the remaining days if Kenai would pay the other 1/2. The City share would be $75. ,j Council agreed to participate. I ce she asked for leave time from 7-31 to 8-10. Council agreed to the request. 1-5 Finance Director - -- -- -- - - - - None- 1-6 Public Works Director C unci.lwoman Bailie asked about the status of the a. Triangle Park. Public works Director Kornelis E L. 1 KENAI CITY COUNCIL JULY 15, 1987 Page 15 i replied he is trying to see if we can do it ourselves. Councilwoman Bailie asked if we can do it this year. Mr. Kornelis replied, he is not I sure we can do it in-house. It will be more expensive to contract, it will be labor intensive. Councilwoman Bailie noted there was money for Airport Way seeding that could be used. We could go out for bid, if the bid comes back too high, we can do it in-house. We have to shoot the contours and place the timbers. The material is here. Mr. Kornelis replied we have the railroad ties, but not the gravel, sand or re -bar. b. Councilman McComsey asked about the status of oiling the streets. City Manager Brighton replied it is a dust suppressant. The City will be doing more. Mr. Kornelis added, he is continuing the program, we do not know if we will do the same roads. They add 50% water to it, rain will not hurt it. Councilman McComsey noted his street is dusty already. Mr. Kornelis explained, it will keep dust down, but not surpress it. c. Councilwoman Monfor suggested Council should start thinking of 1988-89 Capital Improvement List instead of waiting till the last minute. We - should have a work session in Sept. She asked to have the 1987-88 CIP list in the packet for the 8-5-87 meeting. 1-7 Airport Manager None J. PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD a. Joe Nord, Allied Processing, Kenai. He has a lease at the City dock. He is asking for a variance on off-loading tenders. $.03 per lb. is good for drifters, but it is not enough for tenders. He would like it to be 1-1/2 cents. The tenders come in the day after the fishing period. there is a possibility of $15,000 if he can do this. He has talked to -Larry Powers (lessee at City dock). He has made overtures to the tenders. They can go to Salamatof for less, Arness dock is cheaper but is out of the way. We can give better service than Salamatof, but cannot do it at $.03. Councilman McComsey asked if $15,000 was for one time. Mr. Nord replied, for the season. He added, it will not be a hindrance for the drifters it is a M fferent time Councilman K McComsey asked, what do the fishing boats bring in? Mr. Nord replied, about 5,000 to 10,000 lb. in the peaks. Councilman McComsey-noted it would - ----- - be money we would not be getting otherwise. r,% KENAI CITY COUNCIL. JUL.Y 15, 1987 Page 16 Councilwoman Monfor said since this is the 1st of the season, we should be flexible and see what works. She suggested we work with the lessees, she would hate to think they would not come back next year. City Manager Brighton said the City has a negotiated contract. If we reduce one individual cost by 50%, we will have to reduce others. Atty. Rogers said during the bid process a proposal was made by Mr. Nord and accepted by the City. It was incorporated into a contract. At this time there is a request for the City to take less than bargained for. If Council can find a public benefit, they can approve. Councilwoman Bailie asked if we had discussed the idea of tenders off-loading in the original contract. Mr. Nord replied no, just boats. Mr. Kornelis said, the contract says $.03 per lb. for all fish. Councilwoman Bailie said you can get a better price with a large amount. Mr. Nord said a tender can bring in 130,000 lb. Councilwoman Bailie asked, how does this work at other docks? Mr. Nord replied, 2-1/4 cents at Salamatof. They furnish labor, crane and put it in the truck. This is for tenders. He added, this will generate extra revenue for the City. Councilman McComsey suggested we try it for a season. Councilwoman Monfor noted Mr. Nord is an experienced processor. He should have realized this. But because it is the lst year, she is more willing. Some processors feel we are in competition, they feel it is private vs public. if we get 1-1/2 cents it should be for all. The run will be here in a few days, we cannot wait. vice Mayor Measles said he was concerned if this will broaden the private vs public gap. will this create additional problems? Mr. Nord said he talked to Salamatof, they felt it was okay. They charge 2-1/4 cents. They braille them out. Mr. Kornelis noted some of the problems are with the fishermen. They are afraid of the barge out there. They do not like to sell fish at one place and buy fish at another. Once the facility is complete it will help. The tenders are bigger than the boats, they could not get in with the barge there. it is gone now. The contractor pays a lump sum at the beginning, they do not pay at $.03 till they reach that sum. Councilwoman Bailie said we have a facility we have to recoup costs, but we do not want to be in competition with private enterprise. Mr. Kornelis said we -are in competition -with the processors on thtd t the river. This is for processors a o no - --have access to -the-water-.-- - - - - - - NOTIONs L r 1 t'. KENAI CITY COUNCIL JULY 15, 1987 Page 17 I I Councilman McComsey moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie, to have both lessees pay 1-1/2 cents (per lb.) for tenders only, on off -hours. ` Mr. Nord added, priority to drifters. Atty. Rogers said it would be effective immediately, but it will take time to modify the contract. Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. b. Councilwoman Monfor asked that the discussion regarding the Mayor appointing comm/comm chairmen be discussed with Mayor Williams. Vice Mayor Measles asked Clerk Whelan to hi -light the portion of the minutes for the Mayor. c. Councilwoman Bailie noted the proposed -- - Nikiski/Sterling cut-off will be beneficial to Kenai. It would allow campers to take an alternate route. They bypass now and go to Homer. City Manager Brighton asked if it has been determined where it will be. Vice Mayor Measles replied it is a rough idea only. It will be just a narrow dirt road, possibly on the Swanson River Rd. Councilwoman Bailie said we should encourage more than a narrow road, it will bring tourism into the City. Campers like things out of the ordinary: whales, mountains, moose, refineries. She recently saw a sign that said, "Keep the Peninsula Green, Bless the Tourist." d. Councilwoman Monfor noted all the roads need work. Even the back roads in Washington State are better than this main road. ADJOURNMENT: Meeting adjourned at 11:07 PM.

ALAM "611 T13L9PM0NB983.163s Ae— --- MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Williams and Council Members FROM: Beautification Committee Janet Loper, Secretary SUBJECT: Airport Triangle Park Project At the meeting of July 14th, Wards Landscaping had been invited to speak on the Memorial Park Project. During the course of the C! discussion, Marcia Ward had indicated an interest in work on the Airport Park project. The Committee asked Mrs. Ward to proceed as all prior efforts to get that project underway had met with no response. Mrs. Ward and Mrs. Callahan returned to this meeting with a plan for developing the park. Mrs. Callahan presented a blue line drawing of a design for the park which could be expanded upon at any time. The design lays out three main focal points which would be enclosed by the railroad ties purchased last year. The plan also included a planting box which would use flowers to spell out the word KENAI. The word would be outlined in black and would be prepared for planting with potting soil and could be planted each year. The entire park project is planned with minimum maintenance in mind. There is a drainage in the center of the park which is perfect for watering purposes, however, the present contouring is not efficient for watering and draining purposes. The plan would have to include some contouring and some better grade topsoil, plus some hydro seeding as money is available. The plan does not include the price of hydro seeding at the present time. The water line available to the park will need to be finished in order to facilitate watering once the park is underway. - Total -cost- of the --project -is - just under- $6,500. and _this_._price _includes_ a donation from Wards Landscaping of trees valued at just over $2,000. These trees are on the design at the three corners of the park. L L e� R MOTION: Committee Member Jackson moved to recommend to Council to approve this project submitted by Wards Landscaping as presented and is being done due to the fact that volunteers and other sources have not completed the project, seconded by Committee Member Selby.I I ,am VOTE: E— motion passed unanimously The Committee wishes to stress to the Council that this park has been in the planning stages since early 1985. Since then the price tag for i the park has ranged from as high as $255,000 submitted by Ron Kasprisin, to $103,179.75 submitted by Carmen Gintoli, a revised - estimate coming in at $42,421.89 to the current cost figure of just under $6,500 submitted by Wards Landscaping. The Rotary Club of Kenai and Soldotna had submitted a plan to create the design submitted by Mr. Gintoli, however, to date that project has not succeeded. The current i ` design would allow room for any future volunteer group to under take a much smaller task to enhance this space. Wards Landscaping suggests that at this time of year, most nurseries which market flowers close their doors July 31st. Any plants left at I that date will be thrown out and perhaps the City would be able to use some of those plants until spring when new more permanent plants can be �^ used. i Marcia Ward informed the Committee that they intend to donate one of the rose gardens proposed for the Leif Hansen Memorial Park. This will be the garden in front of the fountain. �p z PURCHASE ORDER CITY OF KENAI OITE • VENDOR 210 FIDALQO ST. PHONE 283.7536 MRY - C N� NGING KENAI, ALASKA 99611 ,i 4 onwtpr oAtt ITEMNO.

Box 4131 Nbsnai Alaska 99611 907-263-5225 Ladies and gentlemen of the Kenai City Council. I have come to this meeting tonight again, to ask about the prospect of havingI community playing fields built. I met with the City Parks and Rec. Commission aproxe two weeks ago to ask about the progress of f I the plans that the city has. I was told at that time by the Director, N.r. K. r,cGillivray that I needed to have some concrete i volunteers. I have spent some of the last two weeks finding the I j J help that was asked for. They are as follows$ 1. Peninsula Oilers Their board is looking into the idea of helping their players find work while playing baseball at home. Kayo McGillivay President I Coral Seymour General Manager 2. Northern Oil Operations To help supply equipment and qualified operators Glen McCollum President/owner 3. Kenai Nall plerchants To possible let work on upcoming promotion in K.ay pg. 2 of 3 V r Phone conversations and letters of intent have been sent for consideration. ` However, we feel that the new fields would not be for the Little Leagues exclusive use; We suggest that the youth organizations and adult associations be asked to help sponsor the construction of - --- new fields. Two weeks has not been enough. time to talk to all spectrums, but „ it should give an idea of the help that is available during these times of economic problems. We also realize that nothing that nothing can be done right this minute, but a workshop to look at plans and possibly a ground breaking soon is important. We have brought a set of plans for r, reveiw as a possible development. Ground needs to be broken this year for the fields to be usable by anyonewithin two years. With the lose of the dust bowl next year and the increase of our registration each year, we will need to address the issue now!!f Last year we had approx. 47$ children participate, however the out 3 look for this season is an increase of approx 100 children in our b� ° progrm alone. That breaks down tot SOFTBALL 3 minor oirls teams 15 on each team 2 major 2 senior girls teams 12 on each team At present the above teams have the utilizdtion of only 1 ie d or both practice and scheduled games. { pg. 3 of 3 BASEBALL 6 t-ball teams 15-20 on each team 7, minor boys teams 15 I'll 5 major boys teams 15 on each team 5 senior boys teams 15 on each team At present these teams have utilization of only 3 fields ( not including the dust bowl ) for both practice and scheduled games. We do understand the City$s financial problems and we know that we could help out a little also. We are working on raising money to needed repairs to the Kenai fields we are using now. We have volunteers to put the new steps in the boys dugouts and on the snakbar. Also we will build the covered dugouts for the girls fields at no cost to the city. We also understandpbut are not sure, the city provides funding to help with our umpire staff. We are willing to reduce this funding by half and will have our auxillery organization work on the fundraiser to help pay them. We have been told that to construct the fields as some people envision theme would take millions of dollars. However by using knowledgable volunteer labor and volunteer equipment we could greatly reduce the construction expense to the city. Also the development of the field complex could be scheduled over a period of years until final completion. Eagle River Little League were donated the cleared land to maintain# so they seeded it, groomed it and now have a multimillion dollar - field -complex that -just cost thousands._- All done by -people -who_ F It that the fields were important for kids all kids not just Little League# and people who also realized the immense value of the complex to the whole community.

"ON4 M- Mg T0: enai City Council FROM; im Rogers, City Attorney RE: Leif Hansen Memorial Park - Landscaping i 4 The question presented is whether a proposed agreement to implement landscaping at the Leif Hansen Memorial Park under the. auspices of the Senior Center violates any Municipal Code i provision, state law, or common law municipal procedure. ,i i The facts indicate that the City desires to aide in the establishment of the Leif Hansen Memorial Park at the least cost i to the City. it is also the desire of the City to implement a landscaping procedure that provides for uniformity and longevity of plant materials. To implement these desires, the proposal has I been made that a reputable landscaping company supervise the installation of plant material at the Leif Hansen Memorial Park. ' The method by which the company would supervise the installation of the plant material is as follows (note that the legal department's understanding of this matter is based upon verbal representations by other City empolyees and a Council person: A person desiring to plant a memorial shrub or tree at the Leif Hansen Memorial Park contacts the Senior Citizens Center. An administrative advisor helps the potential donor choose a shrub a tree from a pre -defined list and landscaping layout as prepared by Wards Landscaping. Once a tree or shrub is selected, the person pays the Senior Center a fee ranging up to $250.00 to have the particular tree or shrub installed. The Senior Center then coordinates the installation of the plant material with a reputable ,} landscaping firm, who also supplies the plant. The landscaper guarantees the plant material will survive at least one year. The resolution of the question whether this arrangement is - -- _- - - allowable -must be resolved -by- examining the City Code, --state law---- - and the common law. L KMC 7.15.050 "sole source contracting" The initial question in any situation where someone is contracting to perform services for the City is whether or not a competitive bid is required. KMC 7.15.050 addresses those situations where competitive bids are not required. This code provision provides in part that no competitive bid is required for the purchase of supplies and materials, equipment or contractual services "whose cost does not exceed $6,500 in a single transaction". In this case, the donor writes a check to the City of Kenai for the plant and memorial plaque. Seniors then at the appropriate time, prior to spring, assemble all the requests for plantings and purchase the plantings from the landscaper at the preset price. The landscaper then installs the plant material. If 150 trees were purchased at the $250 price, the result would be a $37,500 transaction and clearly a competitive bid Mould be required. However, the facts in this case indicate that the trees and shrubs would be planted over a long period of time, perhaps as much as 15 or 20 years. As long as any "single transaction" between the landscaper and the City does not exceed 06,500, no competitive bidding would be required. It should also be noted that there is no written adoption of this plan anywhere. it would be the legal department's recommendation that the City Council (if they wish to proceed as others have proposed above) officially adopt the plant materials legend as presented, designating the individual plant materials for the memorial park. This would then become the official planting legend for the park and the senior citizens committee handling the matter could be designated as the appropriate authority to monitor compliance with the adopted map.

A heated phone call from a financial consultant last week prompted this column. He had just visited a placer mining oper- ation near Flat and he had some strongly -worded observations. "Not only are the state water standards driving these miners out of business," he exploded, " the %&"I preservationists are driving miners into extinction. Some of these people are third generation minerst They've been working In the area for dec- ades. With the price of gold as it Is, we should be seeing the mining Industry really booming up herel It's crazy ... what is happening?" TO the up side, when financial consultants get concerned about the mining Industry, things must be getting ready to get better. RDC fosters cross -sector support since politically that Is what resource development needs to regain strength and flourish. Putting It In urban terms, placer mining in Alaska is suffering *gridlock." According to those In the know, strangling to death would perhaps be more accurate. Stringent state water quality standards which honor even the most natural silly, giardia-laden stream with a "drinking water" standard and two lawsuits are the basis of the present web of strangleholds on the placer Industry. It does not take a biologist or ecologist to discern that Alaska's drinking water standard should not be applied to all drainages. Recreational standards are usually sufficient to protect all but the most pristine watershed for human consumption. RDC is working diligently to bring some reality to bear on this Issue, both administratively and legislatively. Never underestimate the power of litigation for bringing an Industry to Its knees. Non -development groups can be given the credit for waging the lawsuit revenge. It appears they have out- done themselves with regard to placer miners. For sheer effectiveness, time delay and cash -flow impact, the preservationists have demonstrated blanket injunctions have the most powerful repercussions. Two such injunctions are pending against placer miners. Non -lawyers might think of the lawsuits as"(not) mining in the parks" and "(not) mining on BLM lands." The actual lawsuits are against the National Park Service and the Bureau of Land Management, not the miners. Apparently, not enough agency studies have been done. The courts have determined cumulative impact statements must be undertaken internally. This Is a lengthy and costly study procedure. Mean- while, the miners are not allowed to operate on NIPS or BLM land. Basically, the miners are being judged guilty until proven in- nocent. Regardless of how sterling a mining operation is, unless a miner can prove the operation has no cumulative impact on the area, mining is not allowed until the agencies complete their studies. These lawsuits can effectively keep miners out of the field for this decade. Why stop the miners while the studies are undertaken? Although miners are sometimes their own worst enemies In puble animos- ry which laIs directed at m ners today, e y otherwisployed Alaskan ewell-meaningl citizens. Miners, after all, are citizens with a long history in Alaska. Mining definitely has its place in Alaska's diversification ef- forts. For many, mining is not just an Industry, it Is a way of life. A good life. Mining is a seasonal, often family -owned business which allows people the opportunity to work in rural Alaska, not on welfare or unemployment, but contributing to their families' well-being while Increasing the overall wealth of the state from one of our most valuable minerals — gold. And as one miner put it, If mining supposedly wrecks every- thing, how come those groups are so anxious to close us down and turn our operations into a state park or scenic river area? Miners must have done something right along the way to have those groups yearning so rabidly for our lands and drainages since we've been mining and fishing here since the early 1900s " Miners, take heart.

Editor & Adve ngniei Manager 1 ,_ Is L I Thoughts from the president Joseph R. _Henri N, Y Export of° '� t North Slope �. Crude Why should Alaska, alone out of the 60 states of the Union, be prohibited from engaging in foreign trade with its oil? Is such Congressional ukase either wise or fair or constitutional? None of the above, in this writer's opinion. That the policy is unenlightened is a view shared by the Lon- don Economist which tells us — I we did not otherwise know — that Japan, for a long time now, "has been begging to buy several billion dollars of Alaskan oil a year." The editor cites the U.S. Federal Trade Commission to the effect that It would be about $S00 million a year cheaper to ship Alaska oil to Japan and supply America's east coser from other sources. Our country Is embroiled in a serious trade tussle with Japan; we want them to buy more from us. However, the thing they want as much or more then anything else — Alaska oil — we refuse to sell, forgetting the first rule of salesmanship: Do what your customers want. If the Alaska crude now going expensively across the Isthmus of Panama were sold instead to Japan, or Taiwan or Korea, where would the replacement all come from? The Economist mentions South America or the Middle East. But how about Mexico, Uncle Sam's most important and somewhat fragile neighbor south of our border? The Well Street Journal of July 3 carried the news that Mexico and Russia have signed a five year trade agreement for greatly expanding commerce between Land use policy is Alaska faces some formidable roadblocks in lts drive to diversity the eco- nomy, the National Public Lands Advisory Council (NPLAC) was told when it met in Anchorage last month. 'The big one Is land use policy," said Richard Tindall, RDC's Renewable Re- sources Director. Tindall spoke before the federal board, which advises Secretary Donald Hodel on various land use Issues. Approximately 60 percent of Alaska's land mass Is owned by the federal govem- ment with the slate holding_about2B Per- cent. Native lands comprise 12 percent of the state while only 1 percent is in other 1, private -ownership: - - - - - 'You can e why land use decisions J se d policy control how, or even 0, develop- ent can proceed In Alaska — onshore and offshore; said Tindall. The ADC director cited the cumulative �► effect of laws, regulations and stipulations Land use that have multiplied at an astronomical rate pact on Al *vim— - the two; the Soviets at the same time suggested a plan whereby Mexico would sell oil to Cuba while the USSR would supplant Mexican petroleum in Europe. Thus, our NATO allies will grow more dependent on the Russians, and Mexico will align herself more with SovietlCuban commerce. If there Is anything beneficial in this arrangement for the United States, It escapes early detec• ton, The strengthening of the Mexican economy, and the achievement of closer Mexican -American economic bonds should be one of our paramount foreign policy goals. Can Alaska get "big gun" help from some of the largest U.S. banks, which have shakey loans to Mexico; would it not be In the Interest of these lendere to encourage the sale of South of the Border oil to Americana, Instead of Cubans? Former Govemor Bill Sheffield met with our Executive Com- mittee the week of July S. He's travelled extensively in the Orient on behalf of Alaskan exports. Asians want our all; selling them the oil gives us leverage to persuade them to take more of our coal, fish, timber, whatever. Congress'e prohibition is so unfair to us because they've tied our hands across the commodity spectrum — we can't play with a full deck. Governor Sheffield suggested something else to us: If ANWR can only be opened by the state's giving up part of Its WID royalty share, then, at a minimum, we should obtain the right to export our North Slope crude. But let's hope that Congress will not try to compel us to abrogate part of the statehood compact by lessening the state's royalty share. The is not the space in which to develop the constitutional law arguments against the oil export prohibition. Nevertheless, when one state only is singled out, and told its principal and most valuable commodity cannot be entered Into foreign com- merce, its citizens have cause to wonder whether they were admitted Into the Union on an "equal footing' with their sister states. in other cases, the nation's high court has Insisted that the states of the Union are equal. Why hasn't this critical point already found its way into the courthouse? it could have been argued several times over by now. The right to export North Slope all, the right of the State to enter its royalty share Into foreign commerce: these are vital rights which could be tremendously helpful In revitalizing our economy.

In a presentation before a Resource De- velopment Council breakfast forum earlier this month, Howard Griffith, President and Chief Executive Officer of Yukon Pacific, said before any pipeline is built, environ- mental permits are required and the project will need presidential approval.

If Yukon Pacific Is to take advantage of this brief window of opportunity. Griffith said permit approv- als and market decisions must come during the next two years. Japan currently buys LNG from In- donesia, Brunel, Malaysia and Abu Dhabi, butwiil need another 9 million tonsannually by the year 2000. Other Pacific Rim coun- tries will require another 8.8 million tons per year by the turn of the century. Griffith Isconfident that hiscompanycen capture up to 14 million metric tons of the projected LNG markets. "We are in a race to market this natural gas because from the market studies that have been performed In these countries, we know that there Is going to be a window, that there Is going to be LNG required," Griffith told the Council. "It's a matter of whether Alaska gas goes there or comes from Indonesia, Brunei, Australia or perhaps even Russia' ,The economics on our projects show TRANS-ALASKA GAS SYSTEM PROJECT TIMETABLE YLAN MILESTONES igm 19Es 1 1992 1994 1998 that it is feasible If we can get a market of 7 million tons to start out with and then grow to the 14 million tons within five years," Griffith said. 'If we don't meet our window in 1995, it will be approximately five years before there will be a market for us to get Into again." ' We think that our assumptions are realistic and the requirements can be met," said Griffith. In order to meet the 1995 opportunity, Yukon Pacific has launched phase I of the project to secure the necessary rights -of - way by mid-1988 and letters of intent for gas purchase and sale agreements. In ad- dition, the corporation is seeking a presi. dential finding, required under the Alaska Natural Gas Transportation Act, that the export of North Slope gas Is in the national Interest.

Under the original law, a company could could not get a permit unlit It had financial backing. In another positive development this spring, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ruled it has limited jurisdiction over the proposed gas line system and none over natural gas sales — a ruling Yukon Pacific officials believe will speed development of the project.

The above -surface part, which looks something like a horse, rocks back and forth to pull a sucker rod inside the well up and down,lifting the oil up to the surface. (See diagram below.) Other types of pumps, hydraulic or electric, are placed at the bottom of the well. - in the gas lift process, hydrocarbon gas is injected into the oil column in the tubing inside the well, which is used to carry the oil to the surface. (See diagram below.) The gas causes the oil to lighten and exert less pressure than the forma- tion exerts so that the greater formation pressure once again can cause the oil to flow out. The gas may be shipped in or may come from nearby natural gas wells or even may be separated from oil taken from oil wells in the field. Gas lift has cen used on oil wells in the Prudhoe ay and Kuparuk fields on Alaska s North Slope where natural gas also is found in great quantity and in the more mature Cook Inlet fields. In the next issue, other recovery methods using gas are explained; in those methods, gas is injected into the rock formation, not Just into the fluid in the wellbore as in the rase of gas lift.■ OAS UFr OIL RECOVERY METHOD ®vAALVES QPACKE-01®POIL iROCK (DOIL FLOW @SPACE Petroleum Production in U.S. Wildlife Refuges For decades, petroleum production has been taking place in a number of home), the prairie falcon, the southern bald eagle, Attwater s greater prairie American refuges and environmentally beickpelican, Americin and five lligaatspecior f sea sensitive areas.

The geophysical companies con- ducted seismic exploration in the mi- gration area during the whaling season. In seismic work at sea, airguns lowered from ships fire compressed air to pro- duce sound waves. The waves bounce off rock strata helow the seafloor and return to the surface where they are recorded and interpreted to locate pos- sible petroleum -bearing formations. The cooperative program was intended to prevent ship noise or the seismic sounds from affecting whale behavior. History of Whaling The villages of Kaktovik and Nuigsut traditionally hunt bowheads in the fall, from late August to early October, when the whales are migrating from their summer home in the Canadian Beaufort Sea back to their winter home In the Bering Sea. Kaktovik whalers usually take their whales within 20 miles of the coast near Barter Island, near enough to use them(�+,, village as a blue camp. Nuigsut what; ''-t operate off Foggy Island Bay about 50-60 miles from their village and use one of the barrier islands as a base camp. These two villages are shown on the map on page 1, along with other Alaskan villages that also have their own how - head whale hunts. The Alaska Eskimo Whaling Com- mission certifies the whaling captains and also assigns strike quotas for each village. A strike is the harpooning of a whale, which may or may not result in recovering the whale. During the full 1986 hunt, Kaktovik had 10 registered captains and was allowed 3 strikes. Nuiqsut had 6eaptains and was allowed 2 strikes. These strike quotas make it possible for whaling villages to continue their subsistence way of life while pre- serving the endangered Western Bow - head population, now estimated at alamt 4AX).

These and previous projects are listed in a reference book called A Com- pilation and Description of Industry Research Projects in Alaska Frontier OCS Areas. The book is maintained for the LPRC by the Alaska Oil and Gas Association,121 W. Fireweed Lane #207, Anchorage, Alaska 99503. Copies of the book are filed with the Anchorage libraries of the Minerals Management Service and the Arctic Environmental Information and Data Center. projects are sponsored by individual oil companies, companies that supply the oil industry, government agencies, and universities. Sponsors (called par- ticipants) share the cost of a project. Project #352—Evaluation of Local Ice Pressure Using Numerical Analysis: The results of Project #302, Medium -Scale Multi -Year Ice Impact Test Program, will be analyzed using damage theory, which treats ice as a ma- terial that already has cracks and (taws (i.e., "damage's, and not as a uniform, clean material. This theory will be used in a finite -element computer code to simulate what occurred in the field in Project #302 when spherical indenters were pushed into multi -year ice to ob- tain strength data. If simulated results are comparable to the field results, then the computer code may be used to simulate other ice loading conditions. The contractor is Det norske Veritas of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Two com- panies are participating. Project #353—Optimal Arctic Pipe- line Design Strategies: The objective was to develop a computer model that can help to design offshore yipelines in the arctic. The program wil� develop the most effective materials to use for pipelines and the best methods for pro- tecting them, for specific situations. The contractor is Det norske Veritas of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and two companies are participating. Project #354—Ice Island Tra- jectoriest The purpose is to monitor the paths of several ice islands from their present locations off the Canadian High Arctic Islands as they move south and eventually pass through the U.S. Beau- fort Sea. Argos buoys, which can he tracked by satellite, will be installed on the islands. The contractor is the Geophysical Institute of the University of Alaska. There are three participants. Project #355—Update of API Report 4370, "Effects of Offshore Petroleum Operations on Cold -Water Marine Mammals— A Literature Review : Since this American Petro- leum Institute report was published five years a o, many new studies have been competed. The updated version will summarize 6 studies available worldwide, but will emphasize studies of marine mammals that are found in Alaskan waters. It will integrate the new material with the old and then pre- sent conclusions about the possible ef- fects of petroleum operations on marine mammals and their importance. The updated report will be prepared by LGL Limited of King City, Ontario, Canada. Six companies are participating. This is the sixth project involving whales undertaken in the past year. Project #358--Impact of Ice with Cable -Moored Strueturest The objec- tive is to investigate the forces of sea ice (level ice and rubble type) on acable. r) moored conical structure. The Wyk. used in the Canadian Beaufort Sea for exploratory drilling, is an example of such a structure., it has cone -shaped sides at the waterline, designed to cause ice that presses against it to bend and thereby break apart. The study will be performed on a model structure in a test basin, and ice loads on the structure will he measured. The contractor is the Institute of Hydraulic Research at the University of Iowa, and there are three participants. Project #357—Multi-Year Ice In- dentation Analysis: A finite -element computer analysis of a spherical in- denter loading and failing multi -year sea ice will be compared with results obtained in Project #302. The theory to be used consists of conventional consti- tutive ice relationships combined with fracture mechanics. The contractor is Engineering Sci- ence of Houston, Texas. One company is participating.■ Tests of sea Ice Samples (Continued from page 3) Strength Tests at Slow Strain Rates," PP. 374-378, and "Laboratory Com- pression Tests of Sea Ice at Slow Strain Rates from a Field Test Program," pp. 379-384.

July 1987 /RESOURCE REVIEW /Page 5 , Endicott moves closer to production America's first offshore oil field in the icy Beaufort Sea is expected to come Into pro- duction this November, according to a senior executive at Standard Alaska Pro- duction Company. Under budget and ahead of schedule, the new Endicott field, ten miles northeast of Prudhoe Bay, Is projected to add some 100.000 barrels of oil a day to the Trans - Alaska Pipeline System, said Mike Curtis, Vice President of Engineering and Special Projects for Standard. Curtis pointed out that new technology, innovative engineer ing and a buyer's market for goods and services made It possible for Standard to develop the Endicott field during a period of unstable oil prices. In a presentation before the RDC's Thursday breakfast meeting last month. Curtis estimated Standard will spend $1 billion to bring Endicott on line. He specu- lated that if the some state-of-the-art technology and market conditions existed during the development of Prudhoe Bay, the cost of that project might have been reduced by one-third. The Endicott development features two man-made gravel islands about 2.5 miles offshore in the Beaufort Sea, Over 6.3 mil- lion cubic yards of gravel was used to build the Islands and causeway. The main 46- acre production island includes a 600.1er- Land use policy (continued from page 3) tainment of the absolute maximum amount of land In true multi -use classifications. Most of Alaska's future development will take place on state, native and federal lands. Much of that development will be affected by the crown jewels of ANILCA. Alaska's huge parks and refuges. That Is why ROC believes multiple -use policy Is of utmost importance when It comes to the long-term vitality of Alaska. One could take the combined states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Mas- sachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio.

The 220 million acres of federal lands within -the state atone would -comprise the second largest state In the union and Is larger -than the combination of California, Nevada and Utah. If Alaska's 65 million acres of designated Wlldemesswere made Into one state it would be the 1 ith largest state in the U.S. The 74.6 million acres of national wildlife refuges in Alaska would comprise the 6th largest slate in the U.S. son operations camp, warehouse facilities, a communications center and large produc- tion modules. By mid -May, construction on the Inter- island pipelines was nearing completion. The pipelines are part of a 24-mile all line connecting Endicott to Pump Station 1 of the Trans -Alaska Pipeline System. In March and April, crews braved chill factors of .60 degrees and colder. So far up to 12 wells have been drilled on the main production islandwhlle 11 have been set on the satellite drilling island. Production modules, some higher than 10 stories, left New Iberia, LA., earlier this spring for the 9,000 mile journey to En- dicott. Offloading is set for a brief period in early August when the ice is far enough offshore to allow the barges to dock. The Endicott development is one of the definite bright spots in Alaska's construe - Von sector this year. Curtis estimated that some 600 people will work on the islands this summer. The Standard official said the field's total reserves amount to about one billion bar- rels with approximately 350 million barrels recoverable. There will be 100 production wells on the two Islands. Bridges In the causeway to enhance fish passage added some $26 million to the project. Standard also had to obtain permits This huge block of highly -restrictive, set - aside land in Alaska directly affects Invest- ment in resource industries. Land where resource development is most likely to occur has been left as islands in a sea of parks and refuges with the only access points coming through national parks the size of Vermont or wildlife refuges that are nearly the size of Minnesota. 'If our window of opportunity is to remain open for the welfare of generations ahead, we must demand reasonable, forward - looking land use policies" Tindall said.

Burling The onslaught of legal and regulatory abuse that has been been willing to rule against the miners, and that the public Is willing heaped upon the state's resource industries Is due in large part to go along with the courts. It is only through a long and expensive to the propaganda of an environmental doomsday. Unfortunately, the propaganda, which is chock full of emotional rhetoric, is plain campaign that miners have been able to present enough accurate information to the courts to keep mining alive on federal lands empty of reality. For example the Sierra Club recently published a letter in the this year. The campaign of disinformation is hardly confined to mining, Wall Street Journal claiming, among many other sins, that mines "make mincemeat of streams" and on average each mine "dumps however. One need look only to the statements made about oil leasing on the coastal plain to see the same forces at work. In about five tons of dirt into the state's streams each hour." It Is sad the literature of the anti -development forces the coastal plain is that Sierra Club's rhetorical skills cannot be turned to better use, such as presenting an accurate picture of the Industry. In fact, constantly referred to as the'Serengetti of the north." Nonsense. It is about as similar to the African plains as it is to New York City. current reclamation requirements for miners on federal lands, In one environmental magazine a moving poem describes the which are enforced by Inspections at least once a year, ensure that miners restore mined areas according to federal regulations. effects of the oil pipeline on caribou as"antlered multitudes" turning Into "miles of brown panic" with "centuries of ebb and flow brought If they do not, they are put out of business, to a halt." Not only is this bad poetry, but it is bad fact. As anyone As for the "live tons of dirt" per hour, that figure is plain wrong, in this state knows, the caribou herd near the pipeline has tripled It Is based on a study that is badly distorted by data collected over ten years ago, long before most miners put in settling ponds, in size since the 1970's. And then there is the Tongass National Forest in Southeast Today, virtually every miner has settling ponds, as required by Alaska, where the battle cry has become "save the last great law and the zealous regulation of the Environmental Protection rainforestl" Instead the battle cry should be "save the last logger Agency. from the lawsuits."

Per his past understanding of emergency management s budget, dollar for dollar matching federal and state dollars were available for operations. However, per FY which was considerablyilose thanOpreviouslylisted believed,matching dollars Mayor Thompson stated emergency management provision options were: 1) not have the office at all - there is no State mandate. 2) create a position in the Planning Department - not any dollar savings, or 3) leave as is.

ASSEMBLYMEMBER MOORE RAISED A POINT OF ORDER, STATING ASSEMBLYMEMBER GLICK'S MOTION WAS NOT IN PROPER FORM AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN A MOTION TO AMEND THE MC GAHAN AMENDMENT AND WAS A WHOLE NEW SUBJECT. President Sewall- said while -the subject area was different it did result in amending the monies of the McOahan amendment so he ruled the amendment was in order. Assemblymember Nash raised a point of clarification. He asked if it were proper to divide the question so the section raising or lowerin the final government operations figure would be considered separately. This would enable the body to address actions to each department and subsequently go back and deal with the final figure. PARLIAMENTARIAN GLICK STATED THE QUESTION COULD BE DIVIDED SO THE ASSEMBLY RETAINED THE TOTAL BUDGET FIGURE AS THE LAST AMENDABLE AMOUNT. ASSEMBLYMEMBER GLICK WITHDREW HER AMENDMENT TO ADD $40.000 FOR RADIO BROADCASTS IN ORDER TO CONTINUE DISCUSSION ON THE OFFICE OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT.

ASSEMBLYMEMBER O'CONNELL STATED IF THE MC CAW AMENDMENT ELIMINATED THE DEPARTMENT OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT IN ITS ENTIRETY, HIS AMENDMENT WAS MOOT. ASSEMBLYMEMBER NASH RAISED A POINT OF ORDER. Mr. Nash said if the body was present to decide the Mayor's budget then it should do so reflecting a direction for the Mayor to follow.

Mrs. Walli asked if the contract services budget included expenditure for lab testing and wasiPto determinerion what kind ofA m terials were hast. Best stated the testing involved in an emergency and related equipment necessary. He confirmed these monies were not used in the test wells at the Soldotna landfill. Mr. Nash asked if the assembly defeated the Moore amendment and defeated the related portion in the McGahan amendment (Office of Emergency Management), could the body then approve the Emergency Management Budget in total and then restrict it with a provision that the operation f the esemdepartment bartmently owould be by contract, executed by the May Atty.

Assemblymember Nash asked confirmation that upon passage of the Sewall amendment, the body could still amend to �pput the whole office into a contract if desired. Acting President NeGahan confirmed this. Assemblymember Nash said in that case he was supportive of the Sewali amendment. ASSEMBLYMEMBER SEWALL RAISED A POINT OF CLARIFICATION.

Atty. Boedeker stated after reviewing the issue he felt the beet possibility was to eliminate the department and place the money in a contingency account which does raise some questions about the Mayor's prerogative. ASSEMBLYMEMBER NASH RESTATED HIS AMENDMENT ACCORDINGLY, TO ELIMINATE THE DEPARTMENT OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND TO INCREASE THE ASSEMBLY CONTINGENCY FUND UNDER A LINE ITEM LABELED EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT CONTRACTING $123,720.

ACCOUNT 23011 CONTRACT SERVICES - $8,000: ACCOUNT 40110 - REGULAR WAGES - ADD $54,500. Assemblymember Skogstad said the intent of the amendment would be to put the department back under the Mayor's guidance. Assemblymember Nash gfiestioned whether this could be done as there would be workman's comp, life insurance, etc. to consider. Finance Director Barton confirmed if the salary were put into the account, then the other "fringes" would have to be reflected also. Assemblymember Skogstad said his intent was for the Mayor to work out the figure. Assemblymember Nash asked if the $54,000 would be better placed in personnel services, giving more discretion to the Mayor on covering the fringe benefits. ASSEMBLYMEMBER SKOGSTAD SAID THAT IT WOULp BE HIS INTENT TO PLACE THE $54.500 IN PERSONNEL SERVICES ACCOUNT. Assemblymember McGahan stated her continuing opposition to the Office of Emergency Management and belief the services could be handled through other departments. She expressed disbelief that one of the services was to provide wood for citizens who have a power outage thus competing with private enterprise. ASSEMBLYMEMBER NASH RAISED A POINT OF ORDER STATING THERE IS AN EXISTING BOROUGH ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR WOOD WITHIN THE BOROUGH SO THE BOROUGH IS ALREADY IN THE BUSINESS. PRES. SEWALL OVERRULED THE NASH POINT OF ORDER. Assemblymember McLane pointed out there is an elected mayor in the borough and the ordinance system sets up the priorities. He suggested the assembly is getting into administration rather than legislation.

Assemblymember Carey addressed comments to the portion of the McGahan f amendment cutting $400.000 from the School Maintenance Operations. { It was his feeling if the intent was to reflect closure of schools then it was unfair as it seemed to be stating there must be more i monies as you've one less school to operate. He felt this was - — _ hitting the school district twice. Assemblymember McGahan said while she'd mentioned the school closing, she generally wanted to cut the maintenance for more reasons than this. Assemblymember Skogstad said he was not sure what areas the McGahan amendment was addressing but with new schools coming on line and one or two being closed. money would be required. Assemblymember Walli stated opposition to the McGahan amendment noting even closed schools need maintenance. Aasemblymember Crawford said Maintenance Director McCloud advised him ' many of the things the department will be accomplishing this year are preventative maintenance. Aasemblymember McGahan said her intent was to reduce personnel services by $150.000; account 42310 - repair and maintenance by $100,000, account 42360 - by $50,000; account 43780 1 by $50,000 and account 43790 - by $50.000.

Assemblymember Glick said she'd become aware of people all over the borough who listened to the radio broadcasts and felt it should be provided as a public service. PRES. SEWALL PASSED THE GAVEL TO VICE-PRESIDENT MC GAHAN. Assemblymember Sewall stated in the past he'd strongly supported the radio broadcasts but in view of the budget crunch and in light of other draconian cuts made he couldn't support the expenditure. y Assemblymembers McLane and Hodgins spoke in support of the Glick amendment. -5- L r I., .W Kenai Peninsula Borough S ecial Assembly Meeting June 11 1987 Assemblymember Skogstad supported the -Sewall statement, stating his wish the broadcasts could be more targeted to the outlying areas or broadcast on a station which could be received all over the borough without transfer. He also felt not broadcasting might expedite assembly business. ASSEMBLYMEMBER MC GAHAN MOVED TO AMEND THE GLICK AMENDMENT BY TRANSFERRING $40,000 FROM THE ASSEMBLY CONTINGENCY FUND TO PROVIDE RADIO BROADCASTING. Assemblymember Nash asked what sort of expenses have been paid out of the contingency fund. Finance Director Barton stated $14,O00 had been expended from the fund this past year. President Sewall and Mayor Thompson noted unexpended funds revert to the general fund. Borough Clerk Brindley advised the $14,000 expended in 86/87 was for the purchasing ordinance approved to be contracted out by the assembly.

Best advised Resource Development Director Mcllhargey's travel expenditures for lobbying purposes were paid from Resource Development's budget and hotel and other such expenses came from the mayor's budget. Assemblymember McGahan asked Mr. Barton how she might change mileage reimbursement from 8.45 per mile to 5.30 per mile and if he could give an approximate savings. Mr. Barton indicated it would take some time to accomplish the approximate savings total. Atty. Boedeker said since mileage was previously brought up for Appendix A personnel, after review he didn't believe this could be reduced.

Public hearing was opened. Bro. Asaiah Bates Homer, said Aseembiymember Nash had proposed an equita6 e�anJto the South Kenai Peninsula Hospital budget to cover insurance and audit. The motion would take monies from the contingency account to cover unbudgeted insurance and audit services. He commended the hospital for its efforts in lowering the service area mill rate and providing continued excellent medical services. Assemblymember Crawford asked clarification that Bro. Asatah's intent was to decrease the hospital's contingency account by the amount of audit services and insurance. Bro. Asaiah confirmed that this was his intent because the operating board should have considered these necessities in the budget rather than transferring the responsibility for such services to the borough. He also felt this would encourage the board to reflect the items in next year's budget. Mike Oberts. Sterling, voiced concerns about the rising cost to propertyowners of service areas and urged the assembly to show restraint. RockyFrankk.
