AGENDA APPROVAL Chairman O'Reilly requested the agenda be as follows: 1. R/V Park 2. Cold Storage 3. Detachment from Borough (f' Commission agreed to the agenda as suggested. C. DISCUSSION ITEMS C-1 R/V Park PUBLIC COMMENT: a. Sue Carter, Kenai Chamber of Commerce. There are 439 members of the Chamber at this date. Ron Malston, Kenai Chamber of Commerce. He had wanted to have the City build an R/V park. Now it seems private industry wants to come in and do it. He would like to see the City do all they could to help these people make a success of it. It is only for a 3-5 months, it is not all that profitable. Not money from the City, just help with their problems. Anyone with a motor home has to be sent outside of the City to park. Carolina Willis, Kenai Chamber of Commerce. There were 5 units. in one hour that•• wanted .facilities - --- L._ ...___-.. .-. Commissioner Thomson noted Malstons has 12 spaces, ! they have power, water & sewer. 3 were occupied " this date. Mrs. T- Carter noted it Just -opened. - - � 4- b. Dan Roberts, Kenai R/V Park. They don't have a sign up yet. There are 15 spaces, 14 with power, j water, sewer, gas; one with electricity only. r� M. a.- i KENAI ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION j JULY 13, 1968 PAGE 2 They will be officially open next week. Mrs. t Carter added, Fred Braun will be backing this. : Chairman O'Reilly read the Chamber of Commerce resolution.. He noted there are 2 concerns: one is the City helping and the other is to study the benefits of the park in down town area. He asked Mr. Roberts if he put this in by a plan or just saw a need. Mr. Roberts replied, for at least 2 years they have discussed this. They had considered it elsewhere. He saw what they had in Soldotna, Kenai had nothing. Kenai does not have the traffic Soldotna has, but still has many tourists._ if this works, he will go to a larger l_ scale. Chairman O'Reilly asked, what is the a minimum size park for a seasonal nature? Mr. Roberts replied, he did not know, but for maintenance reasons you would have to have more to pay for it. Mrs. Carter noted as early as May they had people asking for spaces. They did not, want to rough it. They wanted to park here, go around the Peninsula and call this home. The City Park was full, there were no hook-ups, it is hard to manipulate. Mrs. Thomson asked if Mr. Roberts planned a time limit on the park. Mr. Roberts replied, they can stay the whole summer, he has a summer rate. Mrs. Thomson noted, with residency for the summer, some will not be able to find spaces. She has had people in for the last 2 days that could not stay because there was no place to stay. They started in Soldotna and came back to Kenai. In less than 3 weeks, they have had 70 inquiries for parking spaces. She was speaking with the Airstream people, they had much praise for Kenai. It was the first time in 2-1/2 weeks they had grass under them. c• Carolina Willis. It puts the Chamber in a defensive position. We invite them, what do we do with them when they get here? We tell them about Capt. Cook park but that is far for them. They will never be back again, this is a once in a lifetime experience. Mr. Roberts said, by the end of the season they will be able to determine how many spaces they will need. They have based their prices on what they have seen elsewhere. $15 per night, $12 to park,_15% discount weekly, 20% discount monthly. He noted State parks are $6 to $10--with facilities. Commissioner Elson asked if there was room -to -expand.- Mr. Roberts replied yes, about -- the same amount. Commissioner Dyer asked if they were going to park on gravel pad. Answer - yes. Chairman O'Reilly explained, there are several W1 r W ti 3 I i� jo-i KENAI ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION JULY 13, 1988 PAGE 3 ` types of R/V people: fishing, wilderness experience, travelers. d. Mayor Williams noted the City has discussed purchasing the land around Cunningham Pk. for river access and parking. There will be an outcry if that is done. Does the City want to involve themselves in Cunningham Pk. for boat landing? Are we going away from Martha Cunningham's intent? The city needs gravel, they have thought of purchasing the gravel pit across the street and using for campers. He has talked to the neighbors.- They have assured him there would be a hue and cry. Councilwoman Bailie noted we have endorsed the Foster Bros. project. He has said he would not be putting a dock into the river. The only other place for boats is the City dock. Whenever we discuss economic development in areas, there is an outcry. We should try to do with as little destruction as possible. She would like to see this ready for next season. Mayor Williams said if we can do it, Chester Cone had suggested a trade of Cunningham Pk. for property by the laundromat more suitable for an R/V park. Commissioner Thomson said we are getting away from the original concept. The idea of an R/V park was to identify those who want to park in town, see the sights, park their vehicle and use City facilities without having to unhook and drive out to get a meal. Cunningham Pk. people and Foster park people are interested in fishing and wilderness experience. Councilwoman Bailie. We should look at enlargement of Cunningham Pk. She would like to see areas for R/V parks: 1) The Plant Test Site. It has been fenced and has water & sewer. It cannot be built j on. She would like to see private industry ` develop this. It has sidewalks and is close to town. 2) Spruce St., below Womens Resource & Crisis Center. It is wetlands, it may need a Corps. of Engineers permit. It could have a foot path to Old Town. 3) We need to remember the Bicentennial is coming. 4) Municipal Park. If we had good-R/V parks, we could clean -out the park --- for better use and have picnic areas. The view is -great.- _%) Tourism._ -If we could tie in the road from Nikiski to Sterling and promote, "Take the r scenic route to the Peninsula" at Sterling end, they would have to come to Kenai. We could work with the Nikiski legislators. Commissioner J i '-i !1 !1 j,. 1� l KENAI ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION JULY 13, 1988 PAGE 4 Thomson noted FAA lands are restricted. Councilwoman Bailie replied, this is different. She added, the area by the Senior Center would be very expensive. Councilman MaComsey noted the park by the ball fields is good. There will be 20 teams this week end. It could be for tents as well as trailers. Commroom iforoner R/V'shomson and room for peopleis ratthesufficient ball fields? Mrs. Carter said she, Fred Braun and Royce Roberts went to Cunningham Pk. about 2 years ago and thought it was a natural for a boat launch, There was need for parking. That is when Foster Bros. were approached. The dock facility is great but it is difficult for novice boat people. There is bank fishing as well as boat launching there. The problem is people who live there have people fishing below their houses and the litter. It would be a great boat launch. There are bad parking problems there. Mrs. Thomson said on a daily basis they have people asking to fish in Kenai. Cunningham Pk. and under the bridge are the only places. City Manager Brighton noted it is gravel in those places, all other areas are mud. Mayor Williams noted if we talk about developing Cunningham Pk., it may cost $1/4 Million plus acquisition of land across the road. Commissioner Thomson explained where he grew up in Australia the City he lived in developed 4,000 camping facilities, private industry did the rest. The had close interaction between private enterprise and the City. We have not had private industry start this. Commissioner Dyer said there were 2,000 people at Capt. Cook State Pk. on July 4. We need more than 15 spaces, but we should not under -cut private enterprise. Mr. Roberts asked if there were statistics of those needing space. Commissioner Dyer replied, just those at the Chamber, but we have not tried to market.. Commissioner Thomson noted we are not in the travel magazines. Commissioner Elson noted the State keeps records on park visits. Mayor Williams suggested, 1) the Commission encourage Mr. Roberts to go ahead and develop to the maximum, 2) Administration explore the cost of developing Cunningham Pk for a day park and boat x11I/181� 10 - 1c J k _ y i 9 KENAI ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION JULY 13, 1988 PAGE 5 _ .launch, 3) encourage Foster Bros. to continue development, 4) Look at obligation of U.A.A. t regarding opening the Plant Test Site area for i. occupation.primarily by the ball park people. He noted, development of R/V parks by the City should be viewed as contributing to development, not to r be economically viable. Commissioner Carter suggested we should make every effort to look at non -productive, privately owned property in the City. Example - the area behind Carr's. It is well wooded, it could be landscaped. It may be able to be leased. They may want to participate in the 1991 Bicentennial. Mayor Williams noted he would be meeting with Mr. Cairns, he will discuss this. l Councilwoman Bailie suggested tourism should be discussed as year-round. The Merit Plaza has been discussed as a convention center. The AML has been asked to meet in Kenai, that would be 500 people. ` e• Mick Rosenberg, Merit Inn. He is encouraged by 1 this meeting. He would suggest if 2-3 months is a great risk, note the large enterprise risk for a full year. Councilwoman Swarner said the Beautification Committee discussed putting the visitor's building on the other end of town. The Lawton Strip would be a good place. It is FAA land and must be fair market value. The D/Q building is another. Mayor Williams said Lawton Strip is a green strip area. Mrs. Carter added, the Bicentennial Commission wants to have the visitor's building to be with the museum. Mayor Williams reviewed tourism : 1) it is summer ! only, it is untapped in winter, 2) there are many visiting relatives of local people. For small conventions of 15 to 100 people, this is a good area. There are 107 commissions in the State that } meet quarterly and some up to 10 times per year. All meet in Juneau, Fairbanks and Anchorage. Kenai could be included. There should be an organ other than Council and the Chamber to do that. The Bicentennial Commission was to identify -every { - idea. We need a convention bureau. We need a full time coordinator for the bicentennial and a -- convention bureau. The City could put up 1/2 ( I salary for one year, with a grant to the Chamber to over -see. They could seek out financing for Y•ti r— i 4 1:. r.., t_ KENAI ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION JULY 13, 1988 PAGE 7 L Commissioner O'Reilly said he had a letter from Gary Ervin (Seafoods From Alaska) regarding operating costs and shares. He asked for the status on the cold storage. City Manager Brighton replied, the preliminary has gone in. The administrator for Alaska is personally shepherding this through. They will submit the final on Friday. They have to do on -site drawings. it is within the time frame. Because of the dock activity, there have been at least 3 processors in the area that, once it is an accomplished fact, they are interested in leasing there. Mayor Williams reported on the meeting 7-8-88 with the 8 Japanese fish buyers. They have been authorized to purchase $12 Million worth of seafood representing 1,600 grocery stores. Regarding the statement that Japan will not come to Kenai to buy fish, they are here every season to buy fish. These 8 are from high ranking processors. He added, he talked to several small processors that do not want to be involved. it is a divisive issue between the large and small processors. The City was told not to contact processors with contacts in Japan, but they saw Kenai Packers who are almost all Japanese controlled. They were all along the Pacific Rim - Kodiak, Kenai Borough, Seattle. Commissioner Dyer asked, how many processors were involved? Mayor Williams replied 7, 3 came. The end of October and first of November will be American Seafood Week in Japan. They hope to reach 20% of the Japanese population promoting and sampling products, 26 Million people. Councilman McComsey noted they bought 500 lbs. of caviar from Dragnet. C-3 Detachment from Borough Commissioner O'Reilly said they will meet by Aug. 30 regarding detachment. Mayor Williams suggested a report by the time of submittal to C&RA. No one in Kenai has been asked to sign the petition. We need to be ready. There is a 14 day comment period allowed. We have been monitoring this. We have Administration's numbers and Assemblyman O'Connell's report; Roland Lynn is putting this together. City Manager Brighton said KNA has asked to discuss the negative findings regarding annexation of Wildwood to see if they could be eliminated. Mayor Williams noted we have discussed unifying municipalities rather than a 2nd borough. He will speak to Mr. Lynn. C-4 Added Itemt LandFill - -- Mayor Williams noted the discussion regarding the landfill and dock facility. The Borough will have an ordinance for public hearing on Sept. 16. There would } I- -- - "-- -__ l . . KENAI ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION JULY 13, 1988 _ PAGE 8 be $85,000 worth of dirt removed. We can extend use to Dec. 31, 1989 or till the new trench is full. The present facility cannot be used after 1991 because of Federal law. They propose to continue use as a transfer site. If not, Kenai residents will have to ;y' \ transfer their trash to Soldotna. Commissioner Thomson noted a recycling proposal was made some time ago. Is that still viable? Mayor Williams noted garbage is a Borough problem. It has not been acted on. The Borough proposal is to have a central site in Soldotna with a 30 year life. Councilwoman Bailie explained, it would have developed a business, they had heat pellets to sell, it is working in other areas. The Borough told them to make a bid. She did not know what happened. Fairbanks is using the heat now. Mayor Williams noted we dispose of 30 tons of garbage per day in the Central Peninsula. ADJOURNMENT: Meeting adjourned at 900 PM.

PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD Mr. Stephan - Welcome to Kenai Sign Mr. Stephan had submitted designs for the Welcome to Kenai sign, however the designs were not chosen. It was Mr. Stephan's wish, at this time, to propose the construction of the accepted design. r In line with this, Mr. Stephan presented several samples of ` J types of materials for signs, plus photographs of signs he has done in the past. There were 4 different types: 1) Scotchlight reflective with changeable letters 2) Carved or sandblasted of cedar or redwood 3) Plexiglass - can be used with either the carved or sandblasted base 4) Plywood painted Councilwoman Bailie asked if Mr. Stephan knew the size of the current sign, answer about 4' x 8'. Mr. Stephan proposed the new design to be 6' x 12' for best visibility. The Committee asked Mr. Stephan to return with cost estimates for the 4 types of signs utilizing the chosen design. The Committee left the type of supports up to Mr. Stephan's discretion. One of the samples displayed were of single letters, Councilwoman Bailie asked about single lettering for the Airport Triangle Park. Mr. Stephan stated that the lettering were not of the type that could be used in that way, that they were mainly intended for use against a background. - The -Committee discussed the -letters. that were discussed at Council from Brewington Signs which were - - anodized aluminum. in KENAI BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE July 26, 1988 Page 2 e l t�: 1 1" APPROVAL OF AGENDA Agenda approved as submitted APPROVAL OF MINUTES of July 12, 1988 Minutes approved as submitted OLD BUSINESS a.. Purchase of Trees Chairmar. Wisniewski noted that at the last meeting the Committee had discussed the black cherry trees offered for sale by Kenai River N►irsery which was brought to the attention of the Committee by City Manager Brighton. The Committee had elected not to pursue the purchase at the time, however, after some rosearch, Chairman Wisniewski feels that the price is such that it would behoove the Committee to take another look at the purchase. Planning Specialist Loper: Councilwoman Bailie had asked for a breakdown in the purchases of trees and flowers in 1987. Trees $4,019.80, flowers were $8,054. Acting Parke & Rec Director Mussen stated that in the minutes of the last meeting, it is a package deal, there are 12 trees at the $17 price. I do know that we have had to replace some trees this years, and you, dealing with this on a consistent basis could inform me as to what location would benefit from this type of tree. You need to consider the placement of this type of tree if it bears fruit. Committee Member McComsey stated that you need to consider the time of year. Last year, having purchased this late in the year, out of 8, S died and there is no guarantee. Chairman Wisniewski asked for an opinion from Mr. Museen who answered that he would need to speak with Bob Fraites who actually works with the areas. Councilwoman Bailie spoke of having a place to plant and store greenery. For example, there is a place in Minnesota that offers trees and shrubbery at an extremely reasonable price. In lieu of a greenhouse, since we are doing so much beautification, perhaps there may be an area where we could plant and store.-- We have so much green strip in the City and while we may not use it right now, there would be areas later. Chairman Wisniewski stated that an ideal place would be the plant test site, Councilwoman Bailie answered that that location is a little ify. That is a place that may become a camper facility. Committee Member Jackson stated that it would be ideal, particularly based on the fact that they would be moved -as needed -anyway. - The -Committee- discussed the budget. Chairman Wisniewski felt that if the trees are still available it should be -considered. Mr. -Musson stated that - perhaps, in the next week, he could go out and take a look at the trees, talk to Mr. Fraites and Kayo and return with a recommendation. Chairman Wisniewski stated that there are areas that could use them at a later time. Mr. Mussen added that the U ■ S „17 t, t 4 ' KENAI BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE July 26, 1988 Page 3 black cherry would add another variety that the City does not already have. 'MOTION: Committee Member Jackson moved that we investigate the trees, the availability and condition of the trees and purchase if a acceptable, seconded by Committee Member McComsey. VOTE: Motion passed unanimously. b. Banners Chairman Wisniewski stated that there appear to be feller banners and some empty poles. Answer from Mrs. Loper, I just sent six of the torn banners back to Highflying, Inc. for repair. Councilwoman Bailie asked why they were shipped back, answer because of damage. Councilwoman Bailie asked if the caps were going to keep the banners from blowing in, answer unknown, that type of question would be best answered by trying it. Councilwoman Bailie, are the caps on, answer no. We are still waiting for an estimate from Air Tek for cost of putting the caps on the poles. Committee Member McComsey asked if a private individual could get up there and work on the banners and brackets. Chairman Wisniewski stated that it would be a good idea, but putting a ladder up against a round pole will be dangerous and no private person has equipment that will go that high. Councilwoman Bailie stated that at the last Council meeting she stated that one of the RV parks up near the Northway Mall have used boom trucks. This would be just what we need so I asked Keith to look into how much one would cost and I hope that he will because we are spending too many dollars. I think the City can use this in other areas. Chairman Wisniewski asked when the caps will be put on, answer Air Tek has said they only have one truck and they will get back with us on availability and money. Several question followed concerning caps and brackets, however, they could not be answered. Councilwoman Bailie agreed to contact either the Public Works Director or the City Manager concerning the technical aspect of the brackets. L 6. NEW BUSINESS a. Mound Plantings at Memorial Park The Committee agreed that the mounds look awful. Comparing the mounds done by Booths (in frLnt of the Carrs Mall) and those done by -Wards -(Memorial -Park) there -is a.worl-d of difference. -The Committee restated that proposal given by Wards and felt that the rim to _keep the grass out -at the foot of the mounds were not done, nor were the flowers what the Committee felt were acceptable - -- - - Mrs. Loper instructed to contact Wards and ascertain the status of the mounds. r— KENAI BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE July 26, 1988 Page 4 Concerning the rest of the Memorial Park, Chairman Vieniewski noted that in the newly cleared area the grass in doing well, however, asked if the tree needs to be limbed out. Committee Member McComsey asked how often the fountain needs to be cleaned out, answer very often. It is difficult getting the soap out. Councilwoman Bailie asked that the FAA be contacted regarding the little shed. Answer from Mr. Musson, it was his understanding that it was going to be moved soon by the FAA. Mr. Musson assigned to check with the FAA. Crew Awards The award will be drafted, however, it had been suggested that a pot luck be planned as a more personal touch. The Committee agreed that what teenagers like more is pizza. 41 NOTION: Committee Member Jackson moved to spend $200 from the R&M account to send the workers to the Pizza Hut, seconded by Committee Member Selby. VOTE: Notion passed unanimously C. Budget Councilwoman Bailie asked that a copy of the current month budget be provided to the Committee at the beginning of each month and that a breakdown of remaining monies be included. 7. COMMITTEE QUESTIONS & COMMENTS Chairman Wisniewaki asked where the flower boxes went that were in front of the Carrs Mall and were moved when the new mounds were put in. Mr. Musson answered that they were spread out to different locations. Mr. Mussen will return with a report on the exact locations. j. 4 i S.

"- VOTE: Motion passed by Unanimous Consent B. SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT B-1 Warren Larsen, Cooperative Extension Service - Plant Test Site ` Mr. Warren Larsen handed out materials g and } .� prior to the meeting referred to them, stating that one of the lists contained +° materials which had been planted in 1 984. With -plant evaluation it takes at least 4 years or longer before valid conclusions can be made. The Alaska Plant -Materials -Center which is also involved at - '= the test site and the University Extension Service are at the point of making recommendations on materials which have been tested over the past 4 to 5 years. U i r - KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES July 20, 1988 Page 2 j Mr. Larsen informed the Council of some of the activities including grasses and potatoes. Last fall Mr. Larsen formed an advisory council for the test site to help evaluate and do some actual work. r Councilwoman Bailie: Initially, we were shown some slides of a test site in Kodiak and was under the impression that it was a show place where people would literally come and wander through and, I understand it was something that you inherited, and while I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, I don't consider it a show place. It looks rather scruffy. I have had it mentioned to me on occasion, unless I told someone it was a test site, it looked to them like an abandoned piece of property. The reason for bringing this up, I personally, can see a use for that site for some other purpose. How would you feel if this were to happen. Mr. Larsen: I don't know how the impression came about that it was to be well manicured end a show place, to do that takes a tremendous amount of hand labor. I know the City of Kenai has taken a rather aggressive landscaping and beautification plan in the last five years, and I agree that it is not a show case, however, it is a valuable asset. This year we were able to have a small budget to acquire some student hire throughout the summer months. I had a girl, however she went to work for the cannery and I am again looking for help. The agreement I had with the City of Kenai was a lease for 7 to 10 years and I would hope that we could honor at least a minimum amount of that as we are at the point of making a recommendation and it will be an asset and I would be very willing to negotiate several possibilities which may include a reduction in size, to complement some existing plan that you have, and of course I am not the only person or agent that has an investment in the site. Councilwoman Bailie: This could be a real possibility. when this was first conceived I remember the bill for the fencing came to $13,000. However, the way it was presented it certainly was a show case and something tourists would flock to. In time something could be worked out. Personally I would like to see that area looked at for a camper park and possibly for some ball fields. Councilwoman Swarner asked if the site were developed into a camper park would the land have to be leased at fair market value. City Manager Brighton explained that permission would have to be gained from FAA for that use, and if they did give permission then yes, it would have to be at fair market value. Councilwoman Bailie noted that that parcel is in the flight path from the airport and nothing could ever be built there, structurally. Mr. Larsen and the Council agreed to -keep -lines of -communication - open towards the continuing plant test site. A public tour is set for July 26th, Tuesday and Council is invited. I11 F .i aNW! 1.. L� KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES July 20, 1988 Page 3 C. PUBLIC HEARINGS C-4 Resolution 88-52: Special Assessment Proposal, Road Paving - Swires Rd. Mayor Williams called for an introduction motion. Seeing none, then item C-4 will be set aside. C-5 Resolution 88-57: Award Bid - Swires & Lawton Street Improvements Mayor Williams stated that various bids had been received to determine the method by which we will approach expenditures. MOTION: Councilwoman Swarner moved to introduce Resolution 88-57, seconded by Councilwoman O'Reilly Public Works Director Kornelis explained the breakdown of the bidders. The bids were received 7/19 which is why the blank resolution in the packet. Alternate A is a gravel loop road which connects the end of Swires to the east end of Lawton. Alternate B is water & sewer on Lawton to Swires. Alternate C is sidewalk in front of the school from Aliak to the second entrance and Alternate D is the sidewalk on the school side from the Spur to Aliak. Choice A is the basic plus A plus C plus D with Hernan and Hernan for low bidder. Choice B is basic plus C and D with Doyle Construction. Choice C is whatever combination you wish. Councilwoman Bailie asked for results of the Borough Assembly meeting (7/19) which dealt with Swires Rd. Mayor Williams gave a brief rundown. Basically, even after hearing from Kenai representatives. the issue faitid. The most interesting point being that the School Board did not want to pave that road. Assemblywoman Betty Glick entered the meeting at the time and Mayor Williams asked Mrs. Glick to give a more detailed report. Borough Assemblywoman Glick: "We gave it our best shot by bringing up a resolution, however it turned out we were a day late and quite a few dollars short." The reasons some of the Assembly members decided not to go along with the resolution was the fact that Mayor Gilman raised the specter that perhaps it was illegal because, according to him, he felt the project had already been closed out, however, in the Finance Committee we were told by the finance director that the project had not been closed down, it was about 99% finished, and there are still $792,000 unappropriated bond dollars from the Mountain View Elementary School construction project. It was also pointed out that the School Board did not chose to pave that some 919 feet that was extended from Aliak to access the school. There also ensued a lengthy discussion to the fact that the access into Skyview, Nikiski, and Homer were built to access school- - property and I still contend that the access into the Homer High School is an actual street that was built by the Borough to access ri I F7 -- r 5 a,. KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES July 20, 1988 Page 4 the Homer School, but it opened up a whole new access because the access that was supposed to have been used was found to be unacceptable. They also said that the accesses into Skyview and Nikiski were accesses into Borough property whereas this was actually paving a public street. And the last point that I tried to make was, even though it is an extension of a public street, it is indeed, not just for the citizens of Kenai, but for every person in the Borough who comes to the school because it is an access to an elementary school. It's the same if you access to Sears Elementary off Forest Drive, Kenai Elementary off Spur Highway, or any of the other streets. Mayor Gilman did state that it is and has been the policy to participate in LIDs as far as improvements within a city. There were also a few side remarks to the effect that the City of Kenai chose to be a home rule city because they thought it would be to their advantage but it really backfired on us this time because if we were a first class or second class city we actually could participate in the local service roads and trails funding, whereas a home rule city does not have that benefit. There were some concerns that had we approached the Borough a month or more ago, prior to the Mayor going to bond council to put together a proposal for use of the over access bond monies for the Seward Elementary School we maybe would have had a better shot. In conclusion there was question whether or not it was legal to use the funds because the Mayor's version was it was a closed out Project, finance director said, no it wasn't. The other thing is the Mayor said that because it was not part of the original school construction project, that we would have to go to the Department of Education for approval just to pave this simply because the Board of Education has chosen not to pave it as part of the original project. My personal conclusion is that if you really want to throw roadblocks up you can come up with 1,001 reason why not to do it. There were some side conversations in which the City of Kenai was more or less accused of stealing dollars from the Seward Elementary School project and my comment to that was that in no way were we trying to detract from the proposed project nor were we trying to spirit funds in any way and resented that kind of accusation because until the people vote in this next election to use those access bond monies for the Seward Elementary School project, they don't belong there, not until the people vote for it. Mayor Williams: We might also mentioned that it received a no pass vote on a 3 to 2 issue from finance and also overwhelmingly received at public works prior to the meeting. City Manager Brighton: They would not even address a recommendation. L 0 - "-- - - -"- KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES July 20, 1988 Page 5 i 1 Mayor Williams: It was only at Assemblywoman (click's insistence -� that we were able to get it on the agenda. 5+` Assemblywoman Glick: When I called over to have this resolution " added to the agenda, the agenda had not been finalized, and because it had not been finalized it had not been printed and certainly had not been distributed. I was told that the Mayor - s would probably have a problem with this particular resolution and I said, if he has a problem he can give me a call. I did not get ,Y until after the packets were distributed and when the r, a call packets came out it was just a resolution inserted in the front with the notation "this came in too late to be included in the agenda". As far as Mayor Williams' comment on public works, again, the "-... comment made directly from them was the Mayor said it was illegal, that we could not use the funds and I think that set the tone for the Public Works Committee meeting. City Manager Brighton: I think that Council should commend = - - Assemblywoman Glick because she has spent a lot of time on this .:.. subject, she has even measured the access roads into the new schools south of Soldotna and the Nikiski High School and counted the placement of lights along those roads in order to justify her : position and our request, and I think she gave it her best shot. 4,_ And I think she is to be commended for it. Secondly, I don't t think it would have made any difference what kind of justification we went in with, I think it was obvious that any subterfuge that could be found or used would have been used to permit the Borough not to participate in the paving of that street. In sum and substance, when they say well we were too late, even though we " would have been much earlier that would not have resolved the questions that they raised; that it was a public street, it was c not Borough's access road, and a couple of the other excuses, I would not have been resolved had we been earlier in our request. I The two things that I think are important; one is that Betty has expended a great deal of time on our behalf in this effort, even though it has been unsuccessful, secondly I don't think, under the >. circumstances, it was in the cards for them to agree with our request at this point. - .- --- Assemblywoman Glick: Two points; one, I also measured the access into Homer, and secondly when talking about building streets, the other point that he made is that the Borough does not have road powers therefore, because they don't have road powers, they could not go in and do any work on a street and immediately I countered that with, for an entity that has no road powers per as other than through road service areas, we certainly exercise some powers when we built the extension of the street for that 919 feet any way so y. what power did you use for that. I didn't get the answer yet. Mayor Williams: On behalf of the Council we appreciate the effort you put forward. is u .. i. t F; 7; j ' F KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES July 20, 1988 Page 6 councilmanMcComsey: There was a statement in there also, that the people who live on the street benefited from the water & sewer that was run to the school. Mayor Williams: Yes, and it was pointed out that the city's main water line runs right through the same gentleman's property and he's never taken advantage of that and certainly didn't need an additional water line run along his property just because its there. We were pointing out that it would become a major financial benefit to property holders because he was furnished with all this water & sewer. Councilwoman Bailie: Have they been advised legally, that they can use that additional money for the Seward School even though is has not been voted on. Mayor Williams: It is obvious that their bond council has directed them -in that -manner because they are preparing all residual funds from all school projects into one lump sum for a vote by the people to be appropriated to the Seward School. Assemblywoman Glick: That is correct, there is some $4 million worth of residual bond monies are available from the various projects including some money that was left over from the Homer High School. City Manager Brighton: But until the people pass it it cannot be. used for Seward schools. It could also be used to retire a portion of that bond debt. Councilwoman Swarner asked for the recommendation of Administration on the two bids. Public Works Director Kornelis answered that they do not recommend Alternate B which is the water & sewer on Lawton. We do recommend doing basic and C and D which are the sidewalks. On Alternate A, the loop which would tie in Swires into Lawton could be done at a cost of $148,000. The question is; is putting in the loop from the school to Lawton worth $148,000 of value to the City. The engineer's estimate was $192,000. City Manager Brighton: If we didn't do the loop now, and the Council decided it was a very important part of the street program, since the Borough has always said they always join in special assessment district, and since they own about 50% of the property on that loop, we could do a special assessment on that loop and put the Borough in a position to pay 50% of the cost, at a later date. The City and the State combined own more than the Borough owns, which would put the Borough in the position that they could not object to the project. There is an individual that owns a small piece. Mayor Williams opened Ordinance 88-57 to the public for comment. No public comment. _ Councilwoman Bailie: If ws were going to pave Lawton anyway, we could pave Lawton and the extension of Swires, leaving -the rest of- Swires and then school buses could come down Tinker and then down Lawton. We could form the assessment district and that would a] ii� ' l KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES July 20, 1988 i Page 7 - certainly cut down on the traffic on that end of Swires (north end) which is what the residents on that road prefer anyway. Mayor Williams: There really aren't a lot of residents along swires Road and it hasn't been the Swires Road residents that have - i prompted the request for paving. Councilwoman Bailie agreed, ` - \ stating that it was mostly because of the school. Mayor Williams: It may present the problem that it dramatically jl - increases the school route that must be taken with the buses and - _ _ involves another whole area of the community and I would not be sure that the school buses would refrain from running the buses from East Aliak. Secondly, I have a problem with the Borough not cooperating in the paving of this street or any other streets-- { around our schools, we do have the integrity of the bid process to C ` consider. We have asked contractors to give us legitimate bids on these, they have come in well below the engineer estimates have been, and I would prefer the Council take some action to remedy the situation there. I personally stand against having an idea of opening the loop because it leads to land that may not be ,.__. developed for years to come as it is state and borough land. +3 - 4 Councilwoman 8warner: If this is approved tonight how soon could 'i. the road be paved. Answer from Public Works Director, the goal is i <• to get it completed this year before the schools open, however r r - that is questionable. Alternate A requires a Corps of Engineers permit and we have applied for it and it will be a while. Councilwoman O'Reilly: May we assume that any of these bids are ready to go right away, answer yes, 45 days is the allotted time to get the equipment here and get started. Councilwoman Bailie asked how much of the road was built by the school, Public Works . Director Kornelis answered through the use of maps, i.e., a very small portion.

The reason I ask is, I have seen similar used vehicles in Anchorage for sale and I wondered if you had checked into it, answer yes. They are very expensive. Councilwoman Bailie: I think that, looking at the cost of hiring Air Tek every time the banners are put up, we're looking at $1,000 and I think we could use something like this for other things also.

Mr. Quesnel will also be speaking with the Corps of Engineers office regarding the City dredging project. Councilwoman Bailie stated that at the last Council meeting she had consented to be the representative, however, she has another commitment and needs to be excused. Mayor Williams asked for a volunteer, Councilman McComsey agreed. D-5 Kenai Bicentennial Commission Mayor Williams: In referring to the memorandum that was sent to the Commission and included in Council packet - I have suggested taking a now existing shell corporation created several years ago for the purpose of creating a visitors and Convention Bureau and turn that into the private, non-profit corporation as the holding agent for the Bicentennial Commission. And further that we fund that corporation on a one-time basis. The intention and first priority is that the corporation executive director perpetuate that position through grants and funding from other sources, as well as the situation of also joining with Soldotna on the bed tax question, and direct grants from the Division of Tourism. At this time, -the only way I see the Bicentennial Commission functioning well and be a viable force, hopefully leading to a much broader tourist industry is to function as a private non- profit corporation for the ability to accept funds for cultural and heritage centers of things of that nature. Councilwoman Bailie: I think its a great idea and I would like to see the Council get behind it and move ahead. Mayor Williams: If the rest of the Council thinks this is an appropriate idea, I will discuss it with the City Attorney to determine the proper avenue of moving the Bicentennial Commission into this private non-profit corporation and removing it as an entity.of the City. The Council agreed and plans will move ahead. on KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES July 20, 1988 Page 12 D-6 Library a No report D-7 Recreation Commission i No Report ; D-8 Planning & Zoning Commission ' Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer reported that the primaryn�:.w _., discussion was on the Foster proposal for an RV park.

The Council agreed that the letters were very nice and would be an ' asset, however, they would be a target. The Council agreed that some type of base would be necessary to prevent theft.

VOTE: Motion passed by unanimous consent H-2 Requisitions Exceeding $1,000 Mayor Williams noted an addition of $1900 to Alaska Title and Guarantee. Councilwoman Bailie asked if this was in addition to the $1100. Answer it is in addition or a total of $3,000. Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer: I believe that he did not investigate it fully when he quoted me that price. It was a lot more work than he anticipated. Mayor Williams asked if this was a bid item, answer no. There is no other title company in this area. City Attorney Rogers: Another question that may be germane is if the decision is made to get title insurance, you might get a little break on the price if you also get title insurance. Has the decision been made by Council to get title insurance? Answer no. MOTION: Councilman Measles moved for approval of requisitions over $1,000 dated July 20th, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie.

Aase - Payment Reduction Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer: Mr. Aase made a payment, apparently to release the lot according to a provision in his lease which allows for partial release. He made this payment in March.of $220,000, it is apparent now that it was to release the '- -- - - - KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES July 20, 1988 �. Page 14 f t lot, however he did not request the release. City Attorney Rogers ` stated that there is a letter from his office requesting clarification from him. We have received no response. Mayor Williams: In the event that that release is granted, what s would the equity in the position of the City -be relative to the „ \ loan value? Answer from Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer: l : there would still be over $400,000 in value, leaving a balance of ' about $237,000. Councilman McComsey: Is this to release the lot King Oscar is on? " Answer yes. Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer: There are _ actually eight lots involved. Councilwoman O'Reilly: Reference 1 Mr. Brown's memo, I would support his recommendation. Councilwoman Bailie: I agree with Councilwoman O'Reilly, and I - would like to see Council entertain an idea of lengthening the ? time period required for pay off of some of the lots that have l been purchased already. I understand 20 years is average, and lengthening it to 30 years. The reason I say that is in the past I've had more than one occasion spoken with individuals that have ' purchase land from the City and the sudden down turn in the ',-..-.... economy has made it hard. City Attorney Rogers suggested a { revision to the Code to that effect. Finance Director Brown: It reduces payments about 10% and really is not a great savings. Mayor Williams: When paying on a 20 year note, virtually the first 10 years are interest. Is it then the reacamendation of the Council that the note be renegotiated? Answer yes. H-6 Approval - Lease Applications - J. Doyle - Gusty S/D N6 -' Councilman McComsey asked if this was in addition to the leases -" already existing. Answer from Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer yes. City Manager Brighton: It should be noted that Tract B, that he is requesting, about 1/3 of that area is cleared of trees, '- the remaining 2/3 is treed. I would assume that if he is given „• the lease he is going to remove the trees in order to provide for the parking. I want you to be aware that there will be a number of trees removed from that site. Councilman McComsey asked if he t:. would be required to leave some buffer, answer from Mayor _- Williams, the buffer would probably be the adjoining City :. ' property. Coral Street continues on to the cemetery and there is - - quite a distance from there to the cemetery. Mayor Williams: Is there any objection to the leases? seeing none we will go on.

AD14INISTRATION REPORTS 1-1 Mayor At the direction of Council, Administration is proceeding with correspondence with the State regarding land acquisition on the north end of the runway. City Manager Brighton: That letter was put in the mail today along with some maps of the airport. Other reports on Birch Island, and mental health lands are pending, and the Borough meeting report has been given. The matter of hauling sand will be taken up at the next Borough meeting, a member of Administration will attend that meeting. There will be a Ports Alaska conference in Anchorage, the Chairman of the Harbor Commission and I will attend, plus contact the Corps of Engineer's office. City Manager Brighton suggested that the City Engineer accompany the Chairman on the trip as he has the hands-on knowledge. Mayor Williams: The Airport Commission needs three new members. If there are no objections, I will go ahead and send out letters to the three person suggested at the last meeting. The names are Kircher, Summers, and Shackleton. The Parks & Rec Commission will remain as it until more recent applications are received. The Review Board needs two person, enclosed are two applications. The Planning & Zoning Commission needs one seat, however, there are interested persons who have not yet applied. Councilwoman Swarner suggested a query be put out at the next Chamber meeting. Councilwoman Bailie: I think that persons who submit applications think that they are going to hear right away and they should be let know. Mayor Williams asked that his application be updated. Councilman McComsey suggested that in the ad that is published every year a .sentence be added._that .asks...if your application--is.- over a year old, update it or resubmit it. Councilwoman O'Reilly: Is there a reason why, if an_application is dated_ 1986 it should not be considered? Councilman McComsey: I know of three i, x. r'-- KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES July 20, 198S Page 18 f. applicants for the Parks & Rec Commission that are not here any more. Mayor Williams: Obvious I would not go back a couple of years. Councilwoman Bailie: I rather doubt if people will come in every year to update their application. Councilwoman O'Reilly: I think that a person who comes in and puts in an application could assume that it takes a couple of years to get on. Mayor \ Williams: We can take of Parka & Rao then by having Mr. Ischi update his application. Planning & Zoning is very important and we need someone who has a good overview of the entire area. I would hold on that one. Mayor Williams: The Airport Commission does not have a budget. The last two years that I know of, we have, by phone poll, have asked the Council for $1,000 for the air show. I am suggesting that perhaps '.t might be time for the airport to entertain preparation of the budget, and I would need some guidelines on what that airport money could be used for and I would suggest that !. .: $1,000 be included in that budget and we would not need to keep � going back every year. _ In discussions with Administration I find that there really are no guidelines for setting a budget because we don't know for sure what the FAA is going to allow in that budget. The FAA needs to be contacted to find out if we can create a budget for our Airport Commission. 1-2 City Manager City Manager Brighton: There is a letter from Malston/Braun in - ' the packet. It requests no action, however, please read it for future reference. Under Info 9 is a letter I have sent to the Assembly people soliciting support of Swires. It infuriated the Borough Mayor. .. I-3 City Attorney - City Attorney Rogers: The Council had requested information regarding the rights to the Logo. A memo addressing that is in the packet. If the Council wants that logo, I assume what we'll ' have to do is enter into a contract. Do you want copyright .;r rights? Answer from Council, no. It was suggested that if something is done similar to this in the future, it will be submitted with the understanding that they are the property of the City.

Last r time I was before this Council it was for the name change of our street, again, to Watergate Way. This time I heard, via the grapevine that we're going to get our street paved, someday. And '-. that it was going to be mentioned tonight. It wasn't. I was - disappointed. A couple of administrations ago we were on the list to get our street paved at that time. Administrations changed, it was thrown out. I would just like you to know that we're still out there. You waved the bone in front of us again, we'd like to r... see some action. We were not at the meeting last week, because I received no notification that we were under consideration. When our street name was changed we received a letter from the clerk with a signed returned receipt card on it. Something of great t' importance like the name of the street. I think paving is equally ° important and at least we could receive some type of notification. Notification that it is going to come before the Assembly. I know f the hour is late so I won't take any more of your time. Mayor Williams: I will go ahead and address those comments. Yes :... Watergate Way is a number one priority to be paved. The reason it is not before the Council is because of the time and manner in }• which we have to act. Watergate Way is in need of a tremendous amount of additional work besides just the paving, it also ._-_-- includes relocation of utilities such as telephone lines, the r1:_. _..... .... ... . ' telephone p company has to be put on notice so that they have to order the cable, we're looking at a three month delay to give them „. time to get their materials here and they have not even budgeted for the telephone cable removal. In consideration of the time element Council has decided to deal with Watergate after we dealt with the other issue but it definitely is on the paving list for ., nextspring. f Don St. John: I have no problem that it might be done -nest -fall, but at least something could have been brought up and said about it and if the Clarion reported a couple of different things on the i I KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES I ;p July 20, 1988 i Page 20 - t ( last issue then there was a correction and then they come out in todays paper saying it would be before the Council. I hope that this helps straighten this out. At least the notification that it was coming before the Council would have been nice too. Mayor Williams: I might also recommend that you attend the next - \ two meetings of Council because whatever action taken regarding roads and assessment districts as a result of the two resolutions and ordinances tonight the amended ones will be before us at those times. If Council elects to form an assessment district that will :'. __ _:..:.... .... . be the same policy that we follow over there. Don St. John: Will they rescind our assessments in three years. Mayor Williams: I cannot speak for future Councils. Don St. Johns: And some roads at cost and some at no cost like they don't ..,.. '� tonight? Mayor Williams: I cannot speak of the future cations of " I,( Council. ' J-2 Council _-.. Councilwoman Bailie: Three things all directed towards the Public ' Works Director. 1) Main Street needs to be striped meaning Main Street where we made the center lane for left turn. So many of our tourists don't know its there and it certainly needs to be .. done before the snow starts to fly. 2) I received a phone call that the shrubbery needs to be cut on the corner of Redoubt and let Street in the Mommsen area. They called the City a couple of - times and it looks like someone came out and stomped down on them but nothing was cut. They have almost been hit twice so something ' needs to be done. 3) Public Works look at the retaining wall at _..... _,- the end of Forest Drive. It still has graffiti, it has been there for almost a year and nothing has been done. ' Finance Director Brown stated he signed a purchase order today for sandblasting for that wall. City Manager Brighton: I can confirm that, I was with him when he gave that assignment to his crew to get that done. Councilwoman Swarner: I was called this evening about dock facilities. Evidently there has been a problem at low tide of parking. When boats are putting into the river they park their -- -"' trailers there and the question was asked whowasresponsible for ,., ,— making those trailers move. City Manager Brighton: i would assume the dock foreman would need to inform the population. I wasn't aware of the problem. -" Councilwoman"Swarner: How -often do water trucks go down Candlelight and Aliak, those streets. City Manager Brighton: As often as time permits -but "we -would have to run them three times"a day to keep the dust down. I would suggest a schedule.

Especially the fish tax resolution so that I can get them out to the other mayors. 1;. { Councilman McComsey: With our Russian connections now, Le the airplanes flying back and forth, we should look into that further. - Mayor Williams: I've written to the Governor relative to developing some kind of a relationship with the community of Kabvavak, or however its pronounced. The people from this j, community are thought to have wound up in Kenai as the original fur traders 200 years ago. Also in an article published in the Tundra Times this was documented. We are trying to set up some lines of communication. Councilman McComsey: I had heard that they were going to have acme type of ambassador person in Anchorage.

The meeting is for introduction of two ordinances and 4 resolutions. He asked that the public hearings be as brief as possible. The ordinances will be for introduction only, there will be no public hearing till August 17. He suggested it may be better to hold off on this till Spring if we cannot come to a conclusion. There is a squeeze on time. There have been comments regarding use of the money. It is in a road -building pool, it cannot be used for any other projects unless it is re -appropriated by the Legislature. Council approved the agenda as submitted. B. PUBLIC HEARINGS B-1 Res. 88-64 - Initiating Special Assessment Proposal, Road Paving - Candlelight, Linwood, Kaknu, Kiana, Baker, Lawton MOTION: Councilman Measles moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie, to adopt the resolution. PUBLIC COMMENT: a. Toni Dyer, Owner of a lot on Linwood. There are a lot of people in the community taking advantage of these roads. It is not fair to have us paying for others using the roads. b. Duane Quellete, Eagle Rock, Kenai. He has --lived on this road for 20 years and eaten lots of dust. They have had people from all_over the -country _and world down that road. They were not given a choice. They were told there would be no improvements without assessments. Eagle Rock i l u KENAI CITY COUNCIL JULY 27, 1988 PAGE 2 X c* d. e. f. g• h. should have some kind of compensation. Mayor Williams. There has been a resolution regarding this, it is a separate issue. Dalton Peters, Candlelight, Kenai. Council is completely inconsistent. Marathon and Swires are being done. $200 may be as much to some other individual as Swires assessment is to Mr. Zubeck. Eagle Rock requested an assessment. That is history, he will not make a judgement. Paving Candlelight and Linwood is fair. Connie Wilson, Linwood, Kenai. She has lived there since 1972. They have eaten dust from the City -dirt trucks getting sand from the sand pit. Now it is the golf course, they are getting all those people. If they City wants it paved, they should pave without cost. Bob Jackson, Linwood Lane, Kenai. City Manager Brighton did extensive research on this project. We pay him good money to do these things. He had the best solution to this situation. Jim Doyle, owner of property on Candlelight. He has lived here since 1959. He is for paving, but not assessments. People cannot afford this, it should not be forced on us. He suggested a vote of the people for public record as to those for and against assessments. Sharon Williams, 306 Candlelight, Kenai. For 20 years the Capital Improvement Project list has not had assessments. There have been subdivisions that have had roads put in that the City has funded and are being paid back to the City. As a contractor, we put all roads in and paid for them. That is the normal way it is done. If the City has to eat one big subdivision, we will pay for that. Let's not forget the safety of the kids in school, when the dust is up in that area, we cannot see them. Frank Getty, 208 Candlelight, Kenai. He is against an assessment district. He spoke to Councilwoman Bailie regarding Swires. she explained to him she voted for this because of dust conditions and the need for street lights for the kids in school. They have the same situation but have a golf course instead of a school. They do not have street lights. They have added problems: 1) the golf course. 2) the Oilers games getting out, the traffic is backed up and they come down. -Linwood and Candlelight. 3) the road was quiet till Lawton Extended was opened up. Now they have the Jr. High and High School kids parking there. Mr. Aase and Mr.- Craycroft got their road done and the FAA road took 3 weeks to get through. With a lien on his property, he has i 4: KENAI CITY COUNCIL JULY 27, 1988 PAGE 3 to pay interest, he may as well sign it over to the City. He did not want a lien on his property. i. Don St. John, Watergate Way, Kenai. The name of his street has been changed several times. It reminds people of something in our history that was not pleasant, but means problems in government can be corrected no matter how high. When he moved to Kenai, there was bad government in the City, we have an excellent one now. He did not want to see it changed. There seems to be favoritism and discrimination. People with large amount of lauds get a break. it would be interesting to take this to court. Mayor Williams asked for a show of hands'for those in favor of assessments. For - 3, Against - approximately 25. J. Phyllis Quellette, Eagle Rock, Kenai. In 1985 Council wrote a letter that the State was in an oil crunch and all people would be assessed. They were offered paving but they would have a 50% assessment. She felt government should no longer give, we should be willing to pay for what we get. Councilwoman Monfor noted she was ill during the last 2 meetings. She noted it is not easy to sit in Council, but elections are coming up and it is rewarding to run for Council. She felt we cannot ask for everything we want from government, but she can understand why they do not want to be assessed. But what do we do with VIP and Thompson Pk.? They will never get water & sewer. All Kenai people have needs, Council has to look at the needs of the entire city. If we put all the money we received into roads, what will happen to the people who don't get anything? Councilwoman O'Reilly noted the City is at fault for being inconsistent and not assessing. The money is running out, but we have money to do these jobs. The overall fact is severe conditions exist because of outside problems, caused by the City and the Borough. She cannot vote for assessments in view of the Swires action last week. Councilwoman Bailie complimented Mr. Quellette for his statements. Council was at a breakfast meeting with Governor Cowper and Reps. Navarre and Swackhammer. The Governor's comments were, "We cannot go back to what we did in the past, now we have to go on and make as few mistakes --as possible." She asked the representatives_ what their feelings were about assessments. They said when this is_gone, there will not be more. They said if there were not assessments, it would be -impossible to get money from Juneau. There have been assessments in the past. She received a call from one individual who is paying assessments. They said it is not easy, J 's r . , KENAI CITY COUNCIL JULY 27, 1988 PAGE 4 but they will pay. They also said if they were having health problems, they would pay for part of it. She did not think it was right to pay for Swires. The Borough put the facility in when we had no say. They said they had no responsibility for this but the School Board did not intend it to be paved. How can they say that with the traffic it will bear? It is not fair for the Swires people to pay for this when the Borough will benefit. If we exempt them, we are not being fair to those on Candlelight and the other streets. We are looking at a large and diverse community. VIP and Thompson Pk. will never have water & sewer and are paying the same mill levy. There was a system in resolution form for assessment districts. It was circumvented by the City Manager with a memo suggesting the paving be done with no cost. She has a second memo from the City Manager suggesting 50% assessments. She proposed, with roads impacted by outside government entities, assess them 100%, all others 25%, with a moratorium before paying. In a residential area with little chance of impact, paving would be 50%. VIP and Thompson Pk should fall into a category such as Candlelight and Linwood. She would like to consider a policy similar to Anchorage. The people with small assessments pay over a 5 year period, larger areas have 20 years. Mayor Williams said one of the reasons for postponing action was to have ideas such as these. His suggestion was, roads are community property, especially those accessing public facilities. We could set up by ordinance a road, water & sewer improvement fund specifically for those projects. It would be a special savings account for capital improvement projects. One mill tax to all residents, $100 per year per citizen for future needs for maintenance and construction. By taking one mill in the fund, there would be $225,000 per year. it would generate more money. Benefits from an assessment district are slow in coming. Councilwoman Bailie asked if there was anything we could to at present with those who have second thoughts regarding Swires to halt the process. Public Works Director Kornelis replied, the project has been awarded, notice to proceed will be next week. He did not know -if it was legal to -stop. Mayor.Williams said Council had an agreement with the legislators that Swires was top pYiority and would be paved. That is one reason for the money we have. Councilwoman Bailie - said she is upset that the Borough can do this and the City has to pay when they have put in a "driveway" for a school that was longer than Swires.

Brown C44 DATE: 7/28/88 SUBJECT: Federal Revenue Sharing Enclosed is an ordinance which would appropriate $307,551 of Federal Revenue Sharing funds. The list attached to the ordinance was prepared directly from requests from the City departments. I did not cut any requests. The City Manager has not had an opportunity to review the list. It is being brought to you at this time because several departments have indicated an urgent need for the appropriations. Unappropriated Federal Revenue Sharing funds total $438,267. FRS regulations require that $329,885 be appropriated by September 30, 1988. Therefore, the City must add at least $22,334 (but no more than $130,716) to this appropriation. The City Manager and/or City Council may have suggestions. C 7 . _1 r .

Kenai- Automate-4 light Service Station: 12.956 sa. ft. Roof is in very good condition at present. We would like to apply fibered aluminimum roof coating on this roof to protect it from the sun. This roof is still on a five-year warranty and for that reason, we would like to have Joe Popper do the job at a cost of $4,500, including labor and materials. If we do it, the warranty is voided. Library: Approximately 12656 sax ft. I do not believe the Library is under warranty at this time. Western Pacific Ventures was supposed to have a warranty on the roof until 19900 however as near as we can tell, Western Pacific -1- 1 {p Ventures is out of business. Therefore, we suggest applying aluminium coating using casual labor.

Finally when the world is coming to a point where the Tongass timber is wanted for a reasonable price. the government has r put 9V/e of the land off-limits to umber cut• ling and the Congress Is now discussing taking a portion of the 10% remaining Umber land out of production for more wil- derness, study, or whatever. In the long view of things, considering Alaska's need todiversitylts industrial base and expand its outputs, Congress' consid- eredon of taking away additional acreage Is preposterous. The incessant clamor to withdraw Alaska lands from useful and pro- ductive categories, and the great success i which has accompanied that effort, makes US wonder whether statehood did remove She 49th state" from colonial status. Adding insult to Injury in the Tongass is the current attempt in the House at unilat- eral abrogation of two fitly -year contracts, one of which is with a Japanese trading partner. What that myopic attempt bodes for the future of much -needed investment In Alaska Is still to be seen, but 1 can assure you it is not good. Does Congress care? Who will enter into long-term business contracts with Alaskans after Congress has demonstrated a willingness and ability to reach across this great nation to its most ferflung state and cancel 50-year contracts when we are 35 years into them? This at. tempt at a time of an upswing in world Umber demand and with the Tongass fac- Ing a great future for sustained Umber har- vest under correct management of these fertile lands Is not only unwarranted, but imperious. Alaskans will, as we have so often done, bear the brunt of the fallout of such Congressional action. For too much ground has already been taken from the forestryllimber category. Much has been made of preserving the "old growth" timber in the Tongass. From a pro- fessional forester's point of view, much of the wizened "virgin" forest is rotten. Too much acreage is dying and decadent; every third tree top is a dead top; death slowly descends the bole until the whole "old growth" is moribund; after a while it falls without plan or warning, injuring much around it. The practice of silviculture, on the other hand, can make the lands twice as produc- tive and useful to mankind. Removal of the dead and rotten trees allows young, vigor- ous growth to occur. The logging roads pro- vide access to the woods for a variety of people who can use and enjoyt the forest. It is well -documented that many creatures prosper under forest management.

Equipment must be built that can make large quantities of ice to specified thickness, strength, elasticity, and other characteristics. Research must be conducted into ways of dupli- cating real ice characteristics. Still more equipment must be custom -designed and installed to mea- sure test results. Camera and computer systems are needed to record and ana- lyze the data. Only a few dozen model basins have been built worldwide, by governments and private companies. The types of experiments that can be carried out in the basins vary. Basin sizes differ widely; &summary of the dimension range of some of the main basins in the U.S., Canada, and Europe gives an idea of the wide variation in sizes: lengths 40-262 feet, widths 2-100 feet, and depths 1-26feet. History and Development of Model Basin Methods In 19M. the Arctic and Antarctic Re- search Institute in the U.S.S.R. built a 44 x 6 x 3.6 foot refrigerated tank and used high -salinity manufactured ice to conduct tests on ship models. In 1954-56, British Hovercraft Cor- poration conducted experiments with wax -base compounds to simulate real ice in its 250 x 12 x 5.5 foot basin. In IM, the University of lowa built a 40 it 2 x 1 foot refrigerated basin to study the formation and behavior of river ice. From then on, several pri- vate basins were built in the U.S., Canada, and Europe for ship and oil - industry work. In 1976. the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began building an ice engi- neering facility, including a model ba- sin, at its Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL). For their model basin research, oil companies have used their own basins as well as those of CRREL, several private companies, and several state universities. Research into ways to reproduce the many types of natural ice has accom- panied the growth of model basin use and still continues because, even now, no model ice material can replicate si- multaneously and to a reduced scale - all of the mechanical properties of sea ice. Ice has several different kinds of strength which need to lie replicated In tests and need to be considered in structure designs for icy water —such as flexural and compressive (crushing) strengths. Here is an example of the proble with making model ice: in sodium. chloride (salt -water) ice made witb properties on a scale of 1:50, when ural strength is perfectly replicated elasticity maL be too low and crush strength too high. Model ice research has involved manufactured real ice made with m and additives such as sodium chlor or area and artificial ice made with frozen paraffin and wax materials. I some situations, wax materials repi certain sea ice properties better thi manufactured real ice can; in other ations, they do not. An advantage c wax materials is that model basins I need no refrigeration equipment.) ertheless, none of the model ices a replicate all desired properties at e Alaskan Oil Industry Use of Model Basin Research Model basins have been used in least 16 research projects connate with oil industry operations in the kan arctic. Project summaries are recorded in a research record boot for the Lease Planning and Resew Committee by the Alaska Oil and i Association in Anchorage. Ten of these projects have invest gated ice action against scale mode designs being developed for offsho exploration and production struett Ice replicated has been of various I such as floes, rubble ice, sheet ice, year ridges, and inulti-year ridges. Structure designs tested have been of cylindrical and conical shape. An article on page 3 describes how two of these projects involving ice and conical structures were carried out. Four projects investigated wave and ice action against slopes, including sandbag -retained slopes, -to evaluate protection for the sloping sides of the numerous gravel islands that have been built in the Beaufort Sea for exploration and production purposes. Articles in the Summer 1987 and Fall 1937 issues ofAlaskars Update, illustrated with V`ihotographs, describe how gravel is- land slopes are protected as a result of this research. One project investigated u prelimi- nary design for an fechreaking tanker which could be used to camp crude oil in arctic waters, including the North- west Passage. Another recent project is involved with developing an emergency amphili- tous escape system for personnel work- ing on offshore structures in the midst of sea icon. ■ a Use of a Model Basin in Tests of Sea Ice Moving against a Cone -Shape Structure An article beginning on page 1 tells form some of the ice needed for tests The ridges were prepared as thick generally about how and why oil com• scale -modal tests in and to keep it frozen.

Pumps at intervals along a pipeline route are necessary to push the con- tents along, usually at a speed of 3-5 miles per hour. Batches of different products are sent through in an order that allows compatible products to fol- low each other, or batches are sepa- rated by inflated spheres. From time to time. the insides of pipelines are cleaned by letting the product force along a scraping device called a pig. Computers and the pipeline compa- nies own private telecommunications systems are used to control pumping schedules, rates, and pressures, as well as to detect emergency situations.

The previous se�sstiimate oWs endangered species was l'" Ii1. the mid 1970's, concerns escalated allouf preserving the species as well as the Inupiat Eskimo subsistence way of life, which Includes hunting bowheads. At that time, scientists thought there were only 1000 or fewer bowheads re- maining, down from the 20,000 which they estimated existed before commer- cial whaling decimated the population in the late 19th century. In the late 1970's, efforts to make an accurate count of bowheads began. Researchers in aircraft or sitting on "perches" on the sea ice counted the whales that they could see. + , The observation technique is still titled, but has limitations because vision Is hampered by fog, snow, and sea ice. Another problem is that all whales never surface at the same time so all can be counted. (An article about a study usingobservers in airplanes begins on page 1.) In a 1978 census conducted by the federal government, the estimate was 2300 bowheads. Meanwhile, however, the Inupiat Eskimo community insisted that there were many more. They said that the observers were missing whales many miles offshore under the ice. They also said that there were three phases in a migration and that the observers were only present for the middle phase, missing early and late seasonal migrants in Chukchi Sea spring leads (fissures in the ice that create open water areas). The higher estimates of the Eskimos were proven in the 198Ws when scientists began using acoustic monitoring of whale calls to count whales. This technique is responsible for more com- plete. accurate counts and therefore for the present-day higher population estimates. A primary piece of equipment used for acoustic monitoring is the sonohuoy, which consists ofhydrophnnes to hear whole calls and a radio transmitter to send theavonstir information to u re- cording Million. Researchers use data Gum three sonebuovs ut different posi- tions foist-ratad simultaneously to calcu- lal►% by the triangulation technique, the l0aitio1l (if awhale that can't be seen. (Continued In louver next cofrann) (Continuedfrom page 1) interested in knowing all data about the health of the population. Between 1976 and 1982, available data indicated that bowheads might be reproducing at a low rate. Then more recent studies suggested a greater re- production rate than previously be- lieved. So the 1985 study -reported here was undertaken to determine, ifpossi- ble, the gross annual reproduction rate (GARB). The GARB is the total esti- mated number of calves expressed as apercentage of the total estimated population. The sponsors retained the environ- mental research organization of LGL Limited, King City, Ontario, Canada, to conduct the study. The researchers were not able to make a direct estimate of GARB based on a calf census because of what may have been a unique situation that year. The study took place in a very wide area of the Canadian Beaufort Sea in all of the known summering range of the whales. (See map of the study area on the opposite page.) Yet, for reasons un- known, perhaps the severe ice conditions that year, a great percentage of the adult whales and most of the calves, which accompany their mothers, were not present in the study area. What the researchers did find was a very high percentage of yearlings. Year- lings are one year old but less than two years old and therefore born the pre- vious year. Calves are newborns in the present year. It is typical far bowheads feeding in the stu y area to separate according to age and/or sex. However, it is not typi- cal for adults and adults with calves to be almost absent from the area as they were in 1985. Through this monitoring, scientists not oniv have made more accurate cen- suses, but also have learned many new facts about bowhead behavior and have developed new hypotheses. They have learned that bowheads can migrate through lee coverwhich appears to hu- mans to be impenetrable. They hypnth- esite that bowheads may travel in groups of about 12-15, maintained by calling hack and forth to each other, and that the whales use reverberation from their culls as a navigational aid. ■ As a result, the researchers had to make an estimate of GARB based on i yearling count alone, which involved incorporating a calf mortality rate based on previous research into their calcu- lations. Their GARB estimate ranged from 8.2% to 17.8%, depending on how many whales seen were considered to be yearlings. At the time the study was made, most scientists estimated a conservative how - head GARR of 7% and also believed i that 7% was needed both to provide for some increase In the population and to replace loss from the Eskimo subsistence whale hunts. The study estimates ofaS.2-17.8% GARR suggest that the reproduction i rate is greater than previously thought or that the population is greater than the 4500 animals that were believed to exist in 1985 or that both situations may ; be true. i As reppoorted in the article in the left- hand =n, about bowhead censuses, j in 1987 the official bowhead estimate was revised upward to 7200; therefor I the 1985 study conclusions pointing t a larger population have since been borne out. Nevertheless, it is likely that the re- production rate also is higher than pre- viously believed as well. The following summary of how the 1985 study was carried out gives insight into the problems of counting whales in general, as well as of counting calves or yearlings to draw conclusive data on the reproduction rate. Bowhead study methods Whales on the surface were spotted and photographed by two observers in i an airplane flying overhead. Two planes were used for each survey. Two complete surveys of ull whales j visible on the surface were conducted of the study area. August 4-15 and August 16-18,198,5.

This area is the known summering ground for western arctic bowheads. An article about the study begins on page one and continues on the opposite page. Researchers also were able to identify individual whales that may have been photographed more than once by examining their, size, scars, and other markings. The probable total number of whales In the area was calculated from the number actually photographed by in- corporating experience -based estimates of how many other whales were not seen, both those on the surface and thosethat were submerged. Using length to determine which of the whales photographed were year- lings was complicated by differences in opinion about which length ranges give accurate results for that age group. In the chart at right are the length ranges that the researchers considered to be realistic, plus the estimated total number of yearlings, the yearling per- centages of the total estimated whale population of 4500 animals. and the CARR estimates. All the CARR valises are consider- 1y higher than the 7 % CARR estimate in favor at the thne the study wits made. This is why the researchers came to the conclusion that the repnlduction rate was greater than previously thought and/or that the total bowhead population was greater than 4500. The researchers did not consider the study results conclusive because they - were not able to photograph the entire population, including the missing adults and calves. The study report is dated October 31, 1986, and is entitled Reproduction in the Bowhead Whale. Summer 1985 by LCL Limited. It is available to the pub- lic through Mark Fraker, Standard Alaska Production Company, P.O. Box 196612, Anchorage, Alaska 99519. The project is listed as #318 in a re- search record book maintained for the Lease Planning and Research Commit- tee by the Alaska Oil and Cos Associ- ation in Anchorage-■ Jow Use of a Model Basin In Tests of Sea Ice �. (Continued from page 3) two trolleys, one on each side of the basin running on rails, towed the boom and ice toward the cone. How and where the ice moving against the cone broke apart was docu- mented by 16 mm movies and 35 mm still photographs of significant events in the process. The film records were cor- related with load (force) data collected by instruments in the cone. Horizontal and vertical components of the ice loads exerted against the cone were.measured, as well as the depth in feet that the cone penetrated the ice when the ice broke apart. Project Reports Reports on both tests are now public and are available in libraries of the fol- lowing organizations: Arctic Environ- mental Information and Data Center of the University of Alaska in Anchorage.

Sponsors (called par- ticipants) share the cost ofa project. Project #358--Chukchi Sea Ice Gouge Studys The objective was to use a fide -scan sonar and precision fathom- eter to detetmine the frequency and characteristics of gouges (scours) in the seafloor made by sea ice features. The area studied is within the area which will be leased for oil exploration in fed- eral OCS Sale 109, Chukchi Sea, to be held in May 1988. Characteristics of gouges studied in- cluded width, depth, spacing, and ori- entation as functions of water depth. The contractor was Harding Lawson Associates of Novato, California, and three companies participated. Project #359--Extension of Periph trot Concrete "Ice Wall" Study (Projec ;i ;t h #324)1 The objective was to develop a new theoretical calculation procedure for designing "ice walls" for arctic off- shore structures. An "ice wall" is the part of the struc- tural wall which experiences forces from moving sea ice features. For this study, the wall is made of concrete sandwiched between steel. The contractor was Ben C. Cerwick Inc. of San Francisco, California, and four companies participated. Project #360--1987 Summer and Freeze-up Ice Conditions in the Beau- fort and Chukchi Seast The objective was to obtain data on ice -edge positions, ice coverage, duration of open water, and time and duration of summer ice Invasions in Camden Bay and the Chuk- chi Sea during the 1987 summer and fee freeze-up seasons. Imagery from Landsat and NOAA Very High Resolution Radiometer sat- ellites was the source of the data. The contractor was Vaudrey and Asso- ciates of San Luis Obispo, California, and four companies participated. Project #361—Pipeline Trenching Study for the Chukchi Seat The objec- tive was to investigate new and existing methods for installing pipelines in the seafloor which can be used in the Chuk- chi Sea if oil should be discovered there. Pipelines could carry crude oil From an offshore production structure to shore or to an offshore or near -shore loading terminal. The study also pre- pared reliable estimates of excavation rotes and cost. In addition, new trench- ing techniques which are likely to be feasible and cost-effective were re- t viewed and further developed. The contractor was Intee of Houston, and four companies participated. Project #363—Ice Isiand Identit ca- tion and Tracking (Phase I)t The objec- tive was to use imagery from Landsat and SPOT satellites to find natural ice islands in the Beaufort Sea off the Cana- dian coast. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery obtained by airplane supplemented the satellite work. The contractor was Vaudrey and Associates of San Luis Obispo, California, and three oil companies participated. Project #364—Chukchi Sea Ice Gouge Studyi Side -scan sonar and fath- ometer data were analyzed to deter- mine the depth, width, and frequency of ice gouges in the seafloor. Data were obtained in the fall of 1987 in the Chukchi Sea federal lease silo area : i , (OCS Sale 109). . The contractor was Fugro-McClelland of Houston, 7bxas, and one oil company was a participant. Project #365—SSDC Ice Forces at the Aurora Well Sitel Sea ice forces were measured in the winter of 1987_ while the SSDC vessel was drilling at the Aurora site northeast of Barter Island in the Beaufort Sea.

It seems like we have fought with City Hall since 1968 when we moved out here on Highbush Street. In 1973, we fought Water and Sewer assessments for a year. They dug a new well, brought the line down Aliak Street to Downtown Kenai, then the city assessed me $109000.00 (Ten Thousand Dollars) for that venture. In "1984, the City REFUSED maintenance on our street because the City said, "It was Government Lots and they, (The City) had no control over this section as they were Government Lots." That was when the residents on Highbush Extended hired a man, At a very large expense, to upgrade the street so they could get to their homes during winter and spring break-up. We kept a small dozer at the end of the street to remove the snow. Due to the fact of the City Refusing to maintain the street and to remove the snow. The following year, the City installed water and sewer lines. Since then they have maintained this portion of Highbush. In 19859 the City decided we needed the streets upgraded with --Deep Ditches and Culverts. They,_ (the City)_said we had a water problem. WE HAD NO PROBLEM ON THIS STREETlt But they went on and lowered -the street, -Dug Deep Ditches, Tore up the yards, and everything else in general. THEY DIDN"T EVEN FINISH THE PROJECT THAT YEAR!!i Putting us at a hardship of not being able to enter our driveways, without dragging the bottom of our vehicles. L 6 r— i We alone, had to add 3 Loads of Gravel to our driveway to make it usable. The ditches that the City had dug were so deep, that it made it dangerous for small children to play in the yards and for us to even mow the grass; after we had to replace it after this distruction was done to our yard. Aliak-Street was left a mess all winter as the construction was never finished. The next year, the City decided to raise the streets back to the WGINAL GRADB,that it was before all this construction started, to keep the water and sewer lines from freezing. Seeing how, were were put at several inconviences of freezing lines during the winter. This ment more tearing up of the streets and yards, still at our expense. The way the yards were left from the previous construction were terrible. You can't even mow your lawn. Now you say, "You want to be fair to everyone and access everyone for paving!" What -about Swires Street that you just voted to pave with NO assessment? Mr. Zubeck doesn't have to pay a dime. You call that FAIRM I would appricate very much if you would reconsider your vote for assements on our street.
