Henry Glenn (HG Const), 165 Birch, Soldotna. He submitted a bid for i11,000♦. It was turned down because he did not have the right kind of specialty license for it. The contract said Alaska license or specialty license. He has a } specialty license. superstructures was $400 above, budget. Since this is Federal Revenue Sharing, he 4 believes his attorney and Atty. Rogers would have to get together. With Federal moneys, he did not need a contractor's license. Councilman McComsey asked if he gave the City a copy of his specialty y license. Mr. Glenn replied he had this (license) fj In 1986, when he renewed it was not enclosed. As of Dec. 18 he had it. It was not in the bid. Councilwoman Swarner asked if it was a mesons license. Mr. Glenn replied yes, mason and frame specialty. Public Works Director Kornelis explained, the contractor did not meet our specs. The contract calls for a license that would be for frame work. When we received the bid, Engineer LaShot chocked the license in Juneau. They said It was -not valid for the bid. The bid was declared non -responsive at that time. Atty. Rogers added, the decision was made subsequent to the bid opening of Dec. 9. At the time of the bid .. opening, qualifications were checked. There was non-compliance in thst instance. The recommendation of Administration was that this bid was less but non -responsive. Councilwoman Swarner asked Mr. Glenn, when did he renew the 1987 license that the State left off? Mr. Glenn replied, in the Sth month. He was working in Adak and did not need a license for a Federal project. That is what this is. Councilwoman Swarner asked, he did not renew the license till May 19877 - - .._ ... Answer - yes. Atty. Rogers said in the document - there is the ability to waive minor defeats. They - did not feel this was minor. They also reserve the right to not necessarily accept the lowest - - --bid' - Councilman-McComsey- said -it -did -not -say -in -- t the document that the license had to be with the L bid. Atty. Rogers replied it is not our problem. L 7 :.1 o� KRNAI CITY COUNCIL DECSMBER 16, 1987 PADS 6 Mr. Glenn said it says a specialty contractor's license, it does not specify what kind. Councilman Mccomsey said it says there was a copy with the bid. Mr. Glenn said he presented a copy of the specialty license with the bid. Nr. Kornelis explained, it was not in this field. A mason cannot bid regarding this. Mr. Glenn replied it did not call for a specialty license. Atty. Rogers asked Mr. Glenn if his position was that he could submit any specialty license even though it was not connected with the job? Mr. Glenn replied no, but he went to Ron Rice, licensed engineers he checked the building over. He was going to put papers to the City at no cost to the City with hie seal of approval that it was C done right. Atty. Rogers asked Mr. Glenn, was it his understanding that submittal of any specialty license would be acceptable even though his specialty license had no connection to this job? j Mr. Glenn replied he felt he had a right to f submit. Atty. Rogers replied, the City disagrees. He added, Administration recommends accepting their recommendation. It not, they recommend re -bid. Councilman MceomseY asked it this had to be done quickly. Mr. Kornelis replied no. Mr. Glenn added, he would like to do this as soon as possible if he gets the job. Superstructures asked for 120 day time extra if they do the job. Councilwoman Swarner said she would like it re -bid and be more specific about the specialty license. Mr. Kornelis explained, the contractor decides to bid the job, the State requires certain things. It is illegal for a special to bid on a job -- without a license. Atty. Rogers added it is intuitive in the bid document. The burden is not on the City. Councilwoman Swarner asked if there is anything in the bid document regarding taxes owed to the City. Answer - no. Councilwoman Swarner said she would like to have that in the bid document.

DMV The Kenai Health Center now includes approximately 1147 square feet of usable space and has become quite cramped. To accomodate the flow of patients and the variety of types of services the clinic provides, .they have been forced to put two clerks in a small office measuring 8' x 121. The new client load increases monthly by 25 - 30 people. This generates about 10 - 12 new charts a month and 15 - 20 new immunization records. At this time, they are really needing to be creative with the space to be able to add another much needed file cabinet. The only large room is often used as a group meeting space and classroom. If the patient education classes involve more than six to eight people, it becomes quite cramped and difficult to use audio visual aids. To meet the health needs of the Kenai area, the State is anticlpatin� three the i&-1_th Cegter. Programs emphasing women s ,and—ser—vices o cn=ren and infants will receive added attention.

Murkowski United States Senate 522 Hart Building Washington, D. C. 20510 Dear Senator Murkowski: I am a City of Kenai Councilman and the Council representative to the Kenai Harbor Commission. Both the City Council and the Harbor Commission have asked that I send this letter representing their request. This letter addresses a definite need that Kenai faces in the immediate future - the dredging of the Kenai River Harbor. Sand bars have begun to choke off the river's mouth and prohibit safe navigation from the river mouth to the Warren Ames Bridge, which is approximately two miles upstream. The City of Kenai, as caretakers of the public interest, sincerely encourage your assistance in obtaining a federal grant to dredge the Kenai River and return it to a safe and usable waterway. This past year our commercial fisherman who used the Kenai River as a harbor produced roughly $20,000,000 in raw fish sales. With the ripple effect, applied to the processing of the fish and the supplying of the fishing fleet, the economic impact could exceed $140,000,000. Obviously, the fishing industry is important to Kenai. Unfortunately the Kenai City treasury cannot finance the dredging needed to -return Kenai's harbor to the safe standards that we once enjoyed. our interest in trying to ovzazn neeaea nuip zor a narpor Proiaati ;J that is beyond the area's financial abilities. Your help and interest in the project would be greatly appreciated. We look forward to your response.

Williams Mayor Please review the attached letter and resolutions regarding limited entry and decide whether we should produce a resolution in support. Please note both the Kodiak Borough and City of Kodiak oppose Federal limited entry in these areas. While the City of Kenai is not directly involved in the sablefish and groundfish industry, I feel it is in our best interest to oppose any involvement of the Federal 1 Government in regulating limited entry. In my experience in the fishing industry as a limited entry permit holder I feel the the State presents enough obstacles to the fishermen without additional bureaucracy. Additionally the City of Kenai has requested the City of Kodiak to join us in passage of new legislation affecting the distribution of fish tax. This you are aware of. While the passage of that legislation will affect adversely the Borough of Kodiak, they do not greatly oppose it because there are eight of the 10 fish processors located within the City. After reviewing all of these facts, it would appear that while not gaining a whole lot, by supporting of resolutions against Federal involvement we could stand to lose more through notable silence or non-support.

L CITY OF KODIAK RESOLUTION NUMBER 56-87 a 1 ANI8.N* N OF THE CITY OF KODIAK OPPOSING FEDERAL LIMITED ENTRY I IHUT, SABLEFISH, OROUNDFISH OR ANY OTHER FISHERIES j WHEREAS, the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council (NPFMC) seems to be determined to manage the halibut, sablefish, and other fisheries through federal limited entry in the form of license limitation or quota shares, and ; WHEREAS, the intent of a license limitation program would be to eliminate a large percentage of the participants beginning - with the most recent entrants, which would affect many Kodiak fishermen; and WHEREAS, a limited access system would concentrate the 1 increasing wealth of our fisheries into fewer and fewer hands, creating great inequities of opportunity in our fishing community and virtually eliminating the possibility for young people of the Kodiak community entering the fishery; and WHEREAS, coastal communities, specifically Kodiak and the .villages on Kodiak island, need open access to and competition in the fisheries, leading to the fairest allocation; and ( t� WHEREAS, the restriction, retardation, or exclusion of fisher- men to develop resources that abound in the vicinity would have an adverse economic effect on this community whicta has seen a sub- stantial reduction in fisheries from time to time; and 'I WHEREAS, a limited access system greatly hinders diversifica- tion, which is an economic necessity for survival of independent fishermen; and WHEREAS, the decline of crab stocks and rise of the impor-; .tance of other fisheries in our community demonstrates the need for 8lversiFfatatiun and oven access to fisheries; and WHEREAS, more processors also benefit from open access to fisheries for the local fleet because they are able to buy a bigger share of the fish; and WHEREAS, the trend of federal management as evidenced by federal government policy statements is moving awAy from support- ing small independent business; and -WHEREAS, . -federal- .government . -intervention--_in . -farming., -.-timber,_-.- and mining has led to the demise of the small independent opera- tor -—- _ and ____e removal o____-rom_email an___ _ �l r) WHEREAS, federal limited entry will change capitalization in ;. fishing from buying real assets, usable in other fisheries to artificial investments such as shares or permits, which will greatly inhibit the ability of the small business fisherman to compete; and WHEREAS,the results of the North Pacific Fishery Coalition Survey conducted in September 1987 which received input from 333 fishermen indicated that most did not think there was sufficient time to study the direct and indirect socio-economic impacts of limited entry before the 1968 season and two-thirds of the respon- dents thought in-depth studies that analyze limited entry should be completed before making any decision; and WHEREAS, the Alaska fisheries industry is one -of the two largest private sector employers in the State, and as such, too vital to the people and the economy to risk all the inherent dangers and inequities of such an irreversible, unnecessary management plan as a limited entry; and WHEREAS, the entire economy of Alaskan coastal communities such as Kodiak is small businesses dependently interfacing with the fisheries industry and providing economic and logistic support to the independent fishermen; and WHEREAS, the City of Kodiak considers the rich abundant fisheries resources in the waters surrounding Kodiak and Alaska to be a renewable PUBLIC resource which serves a primary purpose, along with providing food for the people of the world, of sus- taining the livelihoods and economy of the people and communities of our Island and State; and WHEREAS, the idea of permanently turning over the ownership of our public resource to a -few private hands totally contradicts the principle of free enterprise and is contrary to the fundamentals upon which our country is founded; and WHEREAS, the halibut, sablefish, and groundfish resources are currently in a healthy and stable condition and are therefore capable of providing significant economic benefit to Alaska• coastal communit: cc; .,J WHEREAS, in the halibut, sabiefish, and groundfish fisheries traditional conservation methods have proven effective in protecting the fisheries resource, without the need for limited access; and WHEREAS, the implementation of federal limited entry will remove the influence of the State of Alaska, coastal communities, and local fishermen in decisions regarding the management of halibut, sabiefish, and groundfish resources, NOW, -THEREFORE, - BE - IT-- -RESOLVED that the -Council of - the - City of Kodiak, Alaska is opposed to any form of federal limited entry Resolution Number 56-87 Page 2 of 3 in the halibut, sablefish, groundfish or any other fisheries with- out careful in-depth study of the direct and indirect econoo*,;,- I - impacts on Alaskan coastal communities to determine the scope' if this type of legislation on the entire fishing fleets and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Kodiak City Council supports study of other management options before any final decision is '? made to implement limited entry. �„ + AND HE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, this resolution shall be communi- cated to the following: President Ronald Reagan Senator Ted Stevens Senator Frank Murkowski Representative Don Young . r-: - -- 'r', — James C.

HEROISM AWARDS Any person responsible for saving a life, or reducing injury due to fire. Names Wanda Seyter Titles Citizen Address 114 Paula Court Hm Phi Kenai, AK 99611 Wk Phi Brief Descriptions On March 27, 1987 at approximately 8s59 p. . our figs department medics responded to a burn incident in which two boys playing with candles and a 16 oz. can of WD-40 brand name lubricant were burned severe) when the can exploded after being punctured by a rock. he two boys, after txtinguishing the fire on themselves, ran inside the church they were playing next to where their mother was attending a meeting with Mrs. Seyler and others. At this point it was determined throuoh further investigation by this department and interviews with other witnesses, (namely the boys mother)- that Mrs. Seyler took charge of -the situation and took the rote of first responder. Mrs. Seyter advised the mother to call 911 and have them dispatch the ambulance while she began treatment of the boy who was burned the worst by applying cold water and towels on him as well as advising others o do the same with the second boy. The extent of the boys burns are as f ollowss Boy M1s Age 13, had second and third degree burns about the face neck, shoulders, arms, upper chest and hands. He was reaped by our medics on scene, transported to Central enlnsula General Hospital and then air medi-vac to the hermal Unit at Providence Hospital in Anchorage. Boy 02s Aoe 109 had first and second degree burns to the face and first deg9ree burns to both hands. He was transported with �iis brother to the Thermal Unit at Providence and was treated and released. Through further interviews with the staff at the Thermal Unit Tn Providence and other witnesses it is the opinion of myself and this Department that the extent of the injuries to these boys could have been far more severe and their treatment extensively prolonged had it not been for the quick actions and treatment given by Mrs. Seyler. To further give you an understanding of the concern and compassion of Mrs. Seyter, I enclose a copy of a letter to the editor that was published in our local newspaper, the Peninsula Clarion exactly one month after this incident. The letter was written by Mrs. Seyler and to me shows that she feels prevention would be a far better cure of these injuries than having to provide treatment as she did. In closing l would Just like to say I feel Mrs. Wanda Seyter is an excellent candidate for this award and would appreciate your consideration in this matter. The names of the boys remain anonymous per request of the parents, however if further information is desired I will be willing to supply as much as possible upon your request. Please do not hesitate to contact the Kenai Fire Department at 105 South Willow Street, Kenai, AK 99611 or call at 283-7666.

The purpose of the new program will be to ,The the quality of life in Alaskan communities and promote the following: • Increase business and employment opportunities; • Promote self-sufficiency and diversification in local economies; • Expand the capacity of local communities to plan and support economic development; • and situations which impact the communi- ty's health and welfare In such a manner as to promote long-term solutions. To achieve these objectives, the new grant pro- gram will offer grant -loans to eligible com- munities in three categories: Communi pEwetopment Economic Development Technical Development The focus will be on funding local economic development projects within rural Alaska, with some funding also made available for other community needs. Grant will be project oriented, must demonstrate firm public com- mitment, and, in the case of a publidprivate project, firm private commitment must also be demonstrated. Communities will also be re- quired to provide either local funds or in -kind support for the proposed project in order to be considered for funding under the new grant program. Department staff will work closely with sp. plicants to assist them in developing viable projects. Application materials will be available for distribution by December 1, 1987. The deadline for receipt of Community Develop- mentappticattons will be February 1,19", and applicatiions for Economic Development and Technical Assistance (as well as for those pro- jects falling under an Emergent Needs set -aside category) will be accepted year-round.

The importance of community -based early childhood development programs is seen as a key in the beginning of an enriched educa- tional process. The third priority is the in- volvement of the business community in the support of educational processes through training and vocational development. It was stressed that businesses, which will be hiring future graduates, need to communicate with the Department what skills they will require of employees in the future.

Burgess, Executive Director Excerpts from the 1987 Annual Report presented at the 371h Annual Business Meeting in Anchorage November 13,1987. Mtassbersbip As of November 13,1967, AML membership stood at 135 municipalities, a net increase of 12 since last year. The new municipal members in- clude Akiak, Allakaket, Ambler, Amrik, Bux:kland, Clark's Point, Deering, Diomede, Eek, Koyukuk, Kwethluk, Fort Alexander, Selawik, Stebbins, Togiak, Tununak, and Upper Kabkag. Unfortunately, Kassa", Kasigiuk, Pilot Station, St. Michael, and Tuluksak dropped their memberships this last year. There are also 62 Associate Members of the AML, a net decrease of 14 from last year. Associate Members include commercial firms, agencies, and Nate departments that show a s�ppeecciiaal Interest in local government by suppor- tfngthe programs and activities of the AML. The associate membership also includes 12 municipal associations affiliated with the AML. Associate and Association members are listed on the last page of AML Newsletter each � The AML welcomes its new members and thanks those members that have continued their membership in and support of the league, toodsom The AML Board of Directors' 1987 legislative primilles included funding of the state revenue sharing, municipalassistance, school construc- tion debt reimbursement, and senior citizens property tax exemption programs; a fair and equitable andadequately funded school faun• lotion program; municipal land entitlement program legislation; and continued opposition to mandatory participation in the Public Employees Relations Act and binding arbitra- tion for teachers. At the federal level Board priorities included revival of the federal general revenue sharing program, protection of the federal payment-in- feu4axn (Pitt) programs, restoration of Bureau of Indian Affairs funding for rural education, and passage of the proposed 111991" amend- ments to the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA). The AML and its member municipalities had both successes and failures in the First Session of the 15th Alaska State Legislature and have also had mixed results, so far, in the 100th Con- gress. Accomplishments at the state level in- cluded reducing the amount the legislature cut from key municipal programs from the reduced levels proposed by Governor Cowper. Favorable legislation included the prior -year data bill for the municipal revenue sharing pro- gram, the mental health land settlement iegisia- t1oh the education foundatton-formuta pro- gram amendments, private activity bond authority for municippaalities, the municipal land -" emidemxtr►t bill, estaa lishment of-e state revolv- ing loan program for water and sewer projects, and the authority to refinance school debt. A lot of legislation that was potentially damaging to municpalities' power and budgets was lelt on the table. The legislatiive year ended with a Special Ses. sion, which occurred right after Governor Cowper madethe largest budget veto In Alaska history, 80 percent of which was to have come from municipal programs. Legislative sup. porters of municipal government interests mat- ched that historic action with the first two budget veto overrides in Alaska, preserving legislatively authorszz��'�d funding levels for the school debt reimbursi kment and senior citizens tax exemption programs. We missed ovenidsng all the vetoes of municipal funding programs by only one vote. Working through the membership and the NLC and NAG% local governments have had several succeses in Congress. The President's vetoes of the Czan .N.-tRrAct and the Surface Transportation Act Wiuti-1 rizations were over- ridden. Congress passv4 a budget resolution which basically freezes funding of key municipal programs at current levels in the face of the dramatic cuts proposed by President Reagan, NLC, NACo, and other national municipal organizations won the GRS suit, potentially releasing $180 million. Federal legislation supporting the "1991" amendments has passed both the House and the Senate and is expected to go to conference committee soon. ANWR legislation is also receiving favorable consideration by a key Senate committee. The bad news is that record federal and trade deficits continue to bog down Congressional action and the U.S, and worideconomies. The only action in this area to date has been the passage of legislation to reinstitute a new Gramm-Rudman trigger, which would mandate an automAtic 8 percent reduction in domestic and defense programs, the 13 percent of the budget that has not been exempted from the Gramm-Rudman legislation. AML Board members participated with representatives of the Alaska Conference of Mayors in Governor Cowper's Local Govememnt Working Group on the Budget, chaired by Mayor Dorothy !ones of the Mat -Su Borough. AML has been asked to participate in the Governor's Task force to Evaluate Respon- sibility for Transportation Facilities and the Department of EducatloWs Committee to Review School Construction Funding. Finandal El gee & Rehfeld, CPAs of Juneau, were hired by 1he AML Board of Directors to perform an audit of the Leaguers finances for FY 87. In their report to the Board dated October 28, 1987, the auditors found that the Leaguers records "Present fairly the financial position of the Alaska Munidpa) League at September 30, 1987 and the results of their operations and changes in their financial position .:. " The ex- cess of mvenuestwer expenses for the yearwas- $74,624, bringing the total fund balance at the end of the fiscal year to $225,695. Actual revenues were up Wo 21 percent, and actual ex- penditures were also up about 23 percent for the year. At the August meeting in Palmer, the Board approved the FY 88 budget. Anticipated revenues and expenditures are $438,SW an $429,812, respectively, For the fifth year, t Board has not raised the membership dues: ; hovvew, the budget may be revised by January or February in light of the Strategic Plan and the i Implementation of Its objectives. ' As directed by the Board, AML 190 dues ; notices were sent out in October based on cur- rent population Agurn from the Departmentof ; Community and Regional Affairs. Payment is due January 1st, according to the Constitution ' and Bylaws, and the early notice will help members and the League with their budgets. According to AML Board policy adopted this year, membersate required to pay their dues by Janua 1st. if ppaayment is not received in 90 days,11411 will be dropped from membership. Members who are dropped for non-payment must pay for the entire year to rejoin that year; ' no prorating will be allowed Insurance The AML Insurance Program, begun in April { 1984, has continued to meet many of the In- j surance needs of our members in dffkuk times In the insurance industry. However, as of the Ju- ly 1st renewal date, only about 50 r municipalities and school districts were par- ticipating in the AML insurance Program, an AML.sponsored safety group with the Old Republic Insurance Company and brokered by Alaska 100. r The current AML Insurance Program suff f several setbacks during the year. First of all, 1 Republic threatened to pull out of the program. { After successful negotiations, a revised program with Old Republic was approved and offered to AML membets. Because of the AML's efforts to i offer a competitive program and the softening of the insurance market, several insurance com- pantes returned to the Alaska municipal business and offered lower rates, which resulted in many of our members not renewing their 1 coverage through the AML program. Finally, r our previous broker, Frank B, Hall & Co. of Alaska, was scad to Alakka 100. However, the i AML Insurance Program will continue, un- changed, under the exclusive brokerage of Alaska 100. The passageof the insurance pooling legisla- IL tion in 1986 cleared the way for the league to pursue ways of improving the AML insurance 4 Program. In November 1986, the Board f selected Frank B. Hall & Co. of Alaska to !i develop an AML insurance pool, or Joint In- surance Arrangement (1TA). The target date to put a program in place was July 1,1967, if feasi- ble, and July 1,1980, at the latest. The Board of Directors appointed an AMUJIA Interim Board of Trustees to assist it with the current Insurance program and the develop- ment of the IIA.

AML Newdelter Page 11 L Collective Bargaining/ Binding Arbitration Workshop by Darrell W. Duty University of Alaska Anchorage The Collective Bargaining/Binding Arbitra- tion workshop was moderated by Joe Evans, AML Director, Anchorage Asiembly member, and attorney in private practice. The panelists were Parry Grover and Fredric R. Dichter, Anchorage attorneys; Ron Gar- zini, City Manager of Seward; Randy Carr, Wage and Hour regional supervisor, Depart- ment of Labor; Art Woodhouse, Superinten- dent, Sitka School District, and Bob Man- ners, Executive Director, National Education Association -Alaska. The workshop started with each of the panelists being allowed a few minutes to speak. The opening remarks.from Mr. Grover were taken from his handout entitled "An Overview of Public Sector interest Arbitra- tion in Alaska from the Employer's Perspec- tive:' While the handout addressed the pros and cons of the subject, Mr Grover limited his remarks to the cons, among them: • Risk cc�� of anomalous or unpalatable • Abdication of parties' bargaining obliga- tions to a third party who won't have to live with the end results, • May not be necessary where union has ef- fective means other than strike for achiev- ing Its ends, including 1) direct appeals to the public; 2) direct appeals to elected of- ficials; and 3) "political clout" for election of favorably disposed officials, • Inflexible and unresponsive in face of changed or changing conditions; • Tends to take longer to complete bargain- Ingprocess and results in greater expense that binding arbitration, when done correct- ly, allows the best dechlons to be made. Ran Garzini related 'The Seward Ex- perlence; A Fight for local Control:' This tale and the accompaning handout explain how the City of Seward and Garzinf fought with the local IBEW bargaining group for control of collective bargaining. The docu- ment Is full of examples of the documents and even has the ordinance used to subdue the IBEW. If you are interested in a copy of this documentation of the step-by-step pro- cess, I suggest you contact Ron Garzini, Seward. Bob Manners related that for teachers there was no clear means of closure or finali- ty. because had a two binding arbitration. page handout that was NEA Alaska's Position Statement. This statement points out that: • There is no meaningful incentive for school boards to reach agreement on terms and conditions of employment as a result of a good faith negotiations requirement; • The dispute mechanism does not achieve finality in the process; • The law does not define and prohibit un- hhuy• Te is currently no administrative pro- cedure for resolution of alleged unfair practices except through costly and time- consumingcourt proceedings, • Bargaining unit determination procedures are ambiguous at best; • Time, energy, and valuable resources are being spent In a collective bargaining pro- cess which is substantially Increasing In Its length and Its frustrations, • The rights of non-ceniffed employees to organize and negotiate on matters pertain. Ing to their ewmployment Is sadly lacking. The main thrust of Mr. Manners' opening Conference Action (continued from page 1) Palmer City Manager Dave Souiak Finance Director Judi Siajer of the Fairbanks North Star Borough were appointed by AML President Heather Flynn as Co -Chairs of the 1986 AML Legislative Committee. Flynn also appointed 38 elected and appointed municipal officials to the four subcommittees that make up the AML Legislative Committee (see list page 2). Conference attendees heard presentations by Governor Cowper, Senate President Jan Faiks, House Speaker Ben Grussendorf, and National League of Cities First Vice President Pam Plumb of Portland, Maine, as well as a host of state commissioners and legislators. In addition to taking part in the policy discus- sions, delegates heard presentations on the teaptiefs proposed self-insurance program and recently completed strategic plan. They also participated in workshops on a variety of local government Issues. Reports on several of these sessions and workshops are includ- ed in this newsletter. OYer 20 firms and agencies participated as exhibitors at the conference to show how they had or could assist communities. Several municipal associations, including managers, clerks, attorneys, finance officers, planners, and assessors also met in conjunc• tion with the conference to hold trains seminars and to prepare policy positions Introduce to the AML. The Newly Electw Officials Seminar attracted over 60 for what was reported to be another worthwhile session. The AML staff is hoping to receive more conference evaluations in order to begin planning for next year's conference, tenta. tively scheduled for the week of November 14,1988, in Fairbanks. f t 1 tothe public employer; • Public sector strike or the threat of a strike remarks was comparing other public employees and their bargaining rights with not always bad for one or both of the par- school employees. ties.

Mr. Nash stated unless the Assembly establishes policy that allows it to get into the internal affairs of the service areas, the postpone- ment would be out of line. If one service area receives such scrutiny, they all should receive the same treatment. Mrs. McGahan reported having found through information provided the Public Works Cmte. that the property line was much closer than believed and had been convinced the lift should be installed. First estimates were closer to $45,000 but because it would have to be installed outside the building, Mr. Hakert believed the cost would be closer to $85 000. She reported Chief Willis had spoken with the t architect of t{e project Mrs. Phillips mentioned in an effort to gain information and had guaranteed this would be the first priority for the funds. r Mr. Hodgins also spoke against postponement, noting this project would require more engineering time than the one in Homer. { Mr. O'Connell believed there were still too many unanswered questions and while the Assembly perhaps should not reach into the internal workings of the service --area, -the--ordinance, .even with- the. -amendment,... ._ would allow any of the other projects to be substituted for the --- ------------- required access.

Mayor Gilman expressed reluctance to get between the Assembly and a service area board. He felt the issue was much broader than the project at hands rather a public policy that says who is going to exercise what control at what time over monetary affairs of the Borough. He wanted to make sure the question was technical, not policy. Mrs. McGahan stated she would withdraw her request.

Mr. Skogetad reported referred to handouts listing the 1988 Legielativn Priority List in two sections. 5 items under Operating - Budget and '6 items under Capital Budget.

Service area/rural community Mrs. Walli noted the Anchor Point Fire Service Area was not included on the list of requests. Pres. Sewall stated there were others as_. well that were not available this date but had been advised if they could get it in within the week it would be included. Mrs. Walli figures on the South Peninsula Road Maintenance Service Area noted projects had been revised downward by the board from those listed.

Pres. Sewall and Mrs. McGahan commented as well on the separation of real needs from "wish lists". Mr. Carey did not believe going back to the service areas with a request to justify their requests would be productive. He asked if there was any commitment to develop the Elephant Lake site into a landfill. { Mayor Gilman reported the Assembly adopted a resolution in 1986 in 1 support of administration pursuing development of the site. He reported additional testing had been done at the Elepphant Lake site and some operational problems had been indicated. It is still the first priority for developpment but if a permit is denied for a normal landfill operation he would come back to the Assembly with another proposal. Mr. Carey requested the current status of Sport Lake Road included on the- priority road list. Mayor Gilman stated he would get that information. Mr. McLane believed continuation of the road maintenance funds should have been the number one priority, but was also surprised at the list requested for road improvements. ASSEMBLYMEMBER BROWN MOVED TO SEND A LIST CONSISTING OF THE 5 OPERATING BUDGET ITEMS AND THE FIRST 5 ITEMS OF THE CAPITAL BUDGET, STRIKING 11/6 Service area/rural community needs". Mr. Skogetad spoke for sending a list including Item 06 but without including the service area items at this time as these was time to identify which of those projects were legitimate requests by the time the legislature needed it. ASSEMBLYMEMBER SKOOSTAD MOVED TO AMEND THE BROWN MOTION BY REMOVING THE ATTACHED SERVICE AREA/RURAL COMMUNITIES REQUESTS BUT LEAVE ITEM /6 ON THE CAPITAL PROJECTS LIST FOR LATER IDENTIFICATION. Mr. Keene urged inclusion of Item 06 as it identified the road maintenance program which is vital to the peninsula. Mr. Skogetad believed the road service areas should submit a request for only the maintenance funds they have received in the past. Pres. Sewall passed the gavel to Vice Pros.

Mr. McLane addressed the question of the importance of committee work and believed with fewer committees, the chance of staggered time schedules increased. Mr. O'Connell raised the issue of service areas and their ability or inability to seek funds from the legislature on their own. He spoke of overlapping service areas and resulting tax levies, without apparent overall planning. He believed it was time the Assembly considered its options under the State Constitution in altering the status quo. - Mrs. McGahan reported her concern following comments of Mr. Bute and h H H ital Chan a order which she had voted on Mr. Johnson on t e omen oep g r, because of the attorney's assurance it was legal. She asked for the c ants on the issue Mayor Gilman stated became close to Mayor a omm vetoing the Assembly's action .on the subject resolution.

He had signed the contract only after 3 days of contemplation and was still not comfor- table with it. He believed it refers to comments regarding the authority of the service area board. The Borough has not had anything to say about that contrasts it was all decided by the board and the hospital. The Mayor is required to sign as legally responsible but without input into the process. He was not in Favor of including the service area requests to the legislature because he felt they overstepped their authority.

He did not know the status of the Tyonek delinquency but Mega Foods has been in arrears since August 1 and he has given direction to file a lien against all roperties owned by Mega Foods. The amount owed is estimated to be g57,000. He commented that 52 (sales tax collected in the cities) is greater than the profit margins on all grocery stores. Mayor Gilman apologized for the mixup in dates the auditors would present information on the audit, stating they would be present at the December 15 meeting. He directed the Assembly's attention to Pages 44 and 45 of the audit for the best overall picture of the Borough's financial situation. He also stated the Management Letter for the South Peninsula Hospital points out their funds are not collateralized and are thereby..vulnerable over $100100.0._ _ Mr. McLane commented he understood under state statutes a service - -- - - - --- -area- which -incurs--debt -it is- unable-- to- rapay--causes_-the entire -_---- a. to L .. .1 y -rr : — --.c_ . - KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH ASSEMBLY -REGULAR MEETING OF DECEMBER 1 1987 Mayor Gilman stated debt is borough debt in the name of the service area but the bond attorneys hold that only the properties within the service area are liable to be taxed for those bonds, Statutes had to be changed in 1978 to allow the Central Peninsula Hospital's first bond issue to pledge only the full faith and credit of the service area. Mr. McLane discussed the Elephant Lake site, stating hie intent to allow the Mayor flexibility in pursuing the development of the landfill, including alternate siting. He asked when school buildings become the property of the school district and when are they returned to the borough Mayor Gilman stated buildings must be declared surplus to their needs by the school district before the yY are returned to the borough. He was not sure when they are transferred to the school district, perhaps at "substantial completion" or "beneficial occupancy". Atty. Boedeker stated ownership remains with the boroughs at completion the school district gets the use of it. Mr. McLane stated he would like to see the question settled prior to any budget battle. Mayor Gilman understood the school district would by December 21at lay their recommendations before the school board. Eariy in January the decision will be made whether to open the schools but in any case the assembly will probably have that discussion. S.

I— u Alaska oil or a looming arctic ghetto? Alaska's North Slope has become the battleground for a Con- gressional confrontation pitting two powerful but familiar adver- saries: envlronmentallsts and the energy industry, Tragically, the people who have the most at stake, the Inuplat Eskimos, are again caught in the middle of a struggle that is being shaped more by environmental romanticism than by the realities of life In the Ardic and the national need for new sources of domestic oll production. At the center of this struggle, as well as those In many other pplaces In the world, Is crude oil. And, In this case, it isn't just a hills oil, but possibly as much as 29 billion barrels of all and 64 Department of Interior, Is potentially the largest onshore field — consisting of at least 26 separate structures — In the United States. Plainly stated, the Issue Is whether Congress will act to permit oti and gas development on 1.6 million acres of public lands In the Coastal Plain area of the Ardic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR); or whether these lands will be forever locked away within the National Wlldemese System. My people have a direct Interest In this matter. We own 92,000 acres of land around our village of Kaktovik. These lands are within ANWR and adjacent to the Coastal Plain. Our lands In this area represent the best — and perhaps our last — chance to participate directly to the economic benefit of Alaskan oil. Unfortunately, we are currently prohibited from developing the oil potential of our land by Federal law. The Inuplat live, as we have for generations, on the windswept frozen tundra of Alaska's North Slope. Discovery of oil at Prudhoe Day, 100 miles to the west of Kaktovik (one of the eight North Slope villages), led to dramatic Improvements In the quality of life for the Eskimo people. For the first time, we have jobs; we have semi -adequate housing rather than drafty ehacka built of sod and driftwood; we have schools In our communities, thus ending the tragic ritual of sending our children to distant SIA boarding schools; we have access to medical care that can be measured In tens — rather than hundreds — of miles; there Is electricity rather than seat all for lighting and heat; and we even have running water and san;latlon facilities In some villages. However, we remain essen- tially dependent on our land for survival; we hunt and fish for what we est. There Is no other way of life for the Eskimo in the Arctic. My people are deeply concerned about the impact of all explo- ration and development on our land. We Initially opposed oil and I Guest by Oliver Leavla, Vice President Arctic Slope Reglonal Co►p.':a;f.,... gas development at Prudhoe Say. However, we have loomed over the past twenty years that careful development can be made com- patible with our stewardship of wildlife resources and our traditional subsistence lifestyle. As a result, we support reasonable regulated development of the Coastal Plain's all and gas resources. But we will Insist upon strict environmental controls through the federal, state and our local borough governments. This Is our position on the Coastal Plain. Our future as a people and our claim to economic justice tume on the decision Congress will make on the future use of our Kaktovik lands and the Coastal Plain. The Inupiat have, as a result of the changes brought on by Prudhoe Bay oil development, made the difficult transition from harsh realities of a life In the Arctic to the threshold of a modem life. We realize the benefits of a cash eco• nomy, of medical care and of modern communications. We cannot go back to the life we once had. Not do we want to be subjected to life In a lonely arctic ghetto, living on welfare because of a lack of jobs, development and economic activity. We believe that worms, be the Inevitable consequence of a wilderness designation for t a. -I highly prospective Coastal Plain. Without careful exploration and development of the Coastal Plain, the lives of my children will be grim. During the dark months of this polar winter, long after the photographers from the envlron• mental groups have gone South, we are here, at home, contemplat• Ing our futuro. Fifty years from now, long after the rigs have been dismantled and the oil crews have left, my people will still be here. What the future holds for my children and all our children will, In good part, be decided by Congress.

I've been Impressed that you and your staff have the kind of outlook and Inventiveness that are critical to forging Alaska's economic comeback. Ve look forward to working with you and your staff on an Immediate basis to pursue the creation of the ice production and storage/holding facilities. These two developments will enable us and other seafood processors to achieve higher quality and higher profit margins, while Increasing production of secondary seafood products -- all of which will mean more jobs and more Income for Kenai residents. 1 am also interested in pursuing your notion of creating a Seafoods from Alaska, Inc. retail outlet in the Kenai airport complex. I agree completely that this would be a prime location for substantial business. Ve completely support your proposal to establish an "Alaskan seafood Chef" Internship program on the Kenai Peninsula. In our domestic and foreign marketing efforts we are often encouraged to do more to help people prepare Alaskan seafoods. I would envision a productive relationship between out company and a program aimed at preparing and developing new recipes for our seafood products. We look forward to a productive new year!

Of course, you may elect to assume the function at any time, upon reasonable notice to us.

Brown, Finance Director a 94 DATE: I December 8, 1987 1, Seattle SUBJECT: Economic Development Conference, Nov. 30 & Dec. At your request, I attended the EDA Conference in Seattle. The basic format of the conference was one and one-half days of speeches and in presentations from people involved in economic development programs the western states. Several of the individuals who spoke are heads of economic development programs of counties- It seems that in the western TAwer 40, most economic development activity is a function of the County- 'host emphasized that they provide -economic data and research services to business, brokers, and investors. For instance, they compile data on facilities, utilities, and labor that are available for businesses. With regard to EDA grants, most speakers who were employees of the EDA said that grant funds are very limited and difficult to receive. The most interesting grant funding is the revolving loan fund (EX) - Under this program, funds are received from EDA and loaned by the local organization (usually an economic development district) to businesses who repay the money; then loaned again. To be eligible for the grant, the community must show high unemployment and long-term economic deterioration. L Another interesting funding option for businesses is the Venture Capital Network (VCN) managed by the office of Small Business Programs of the University of New Hampshire. VCN maintains a confidential data base of investment opportunities submitted by entrepreneurs and investment interests submitted by investors. In effect, VCN matches equity financing needs with the venture capital market. The program in general was interesting, but I'm not sure that I learned a great deal that can be of direct benefit to the City. The program was aimed at its expected participants: those directly involved in economic development districts or offices. At this point, it's difficult to see how my current position with the City lends itself to that sort of activity- .emu--_ ���-,��.--•-,-�-.-.+"-._ -.__ . . 0 J- •'4 - - - - - - - - -_ - - I A)FD /6 CITY OF KE..... 11110d Ca#W o f 44m44tv M"HOWI M->6Md CITY OF KENAI BACKGROUND AND PERSONAL DATA - CANDIDATES FOR APPOINTMENT TO COMMITTEES AND COMMISSIONS NAME H1 A a tA- E LAy, t cl Resident of City of Kenai?= Now long? t' Mailing Address 2G14 Rowj!i�-kc- C.A.

I tried to call you today (December 21) but you had left on vacation, so i spoke to John Sutcliffe. I apologise for not copying you with the correspondence in question. This project was recently transferred to me and the file did not reflect your Involvement. Quite frankly, I was unaware that the City of Kenai had a "resi- dent" attorney. Now that 1 know, I won't miss you again! When I spoke to John, I asked him- if he was aware of any problems associated with the transfer that I should know about. He Indicated some concern about the low fine amounts currently paid on your municipal violations. As I Indicated to him on the phone, CH 76 SLA 1987 contemplates that each munici- polity will adopt a fine schedule for those offenses for which it is appropriate to allow a defendant to plead guilty and mail In a fine without a mandatory court appearance. If the City of Kenai has not yet completed this process, this might be a good time to review the amounts of fines due for such offenses with an eye to bringing the fines up to a more reasonable level.
