Fibered Aluminum Roof Coatina F600 Alaska Oil Sales, Inc. -- 1 to 1-1/2 gal. per 100 sq. ft. $442.50 per 55 gallon, f.o.b. Kenai. Automated Flight Service Station: 12.956 ag. 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: Ayoggg mately 11.656 sg. 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 1990,-however as near as we can tell, Western Pacific -1- L Lip Ventures is out of business. Therefore, we suggest applying aluminium coating using casual labor. We have had a problem with leaks in that roof, so we may have to do some patch work and/or have the roof flood coated before application of the aluminimum coating. City Hall: AiDiPxOxiR&tGlv 64420 Ia, ft. Due to the fact that summer is almost over, City Hall will probably be the last of three roofs we will work on this year. If flood coating should be required on City Hall, or the bibrary, it is recommended that the aluminimum coating not be applied until at least three months later. We would use the money to prepare any other roof in need for alumininum seal the following year. We reauest $20,000 of revenue sharing monies to be used on these -projects. Next year we would like to bring the Public Safety Building roof up to acceptable standards, and possibly the Terminal Building, depending on the remodeling project. We would calculate that approximately $9,000 to $10,000 would be used for labor costs. We may have to buy a minimal amount of equipment, such as a wood burner with stand, brooms, rollers, ate. We are attaching copies of photographs of work in progress at the Kenai Junior High School. HMOD/clf Attachments IMM k 4 .

WHEREAS, the present law provides for the distribution of the fish tax monies on the basis of a formula which gives the State 50%, unified municipalities 50%, cities within second class boroughs receive 25% and second class boroughs receive 25%, and WHEREAS, it was the intent of the original legislation to permit those funds to be used to enhance the fishing industry, and WHEREAS, second class boroughs have no powers by which they can enhance the fishing industry, i.e, lack of power to build docks, boat ramps, provide fueling facilities, develop fishing industrial parks, build roads to fishing sites, provide water and sewer and providing emergency medical facilities to or for the employees of the processors, etc., and WHEREAS, cities within second class boroughs have all of the necessary powers to provide those services for the enhancement of the fishing industry, the borough should not share in 255 of the fish tax collected in those cities, but the cities should retain the 50% share the State is not entitled to, and WHEREAS, this formula change does not eliminate second class boroughs entitlement to 50% of the fish tax collected by processors outside of cities within that borough, and WHEREAS, this would appear to be the more equitable and reasonable distribution of the funds that were specifically designed to enhance and perpetuate one of Alaska's largest renewable resource industries for the benefit of all Alaskans. L r— NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA. that the Alaska Legislature is hereby urged to make the appropriate amendments in the present fish tax lap that will permit municipalities in second class boroughs to have additional funds for which they can, in cooperation with the processors, commercial fishing fleet and sports fishermen, continue to invest in the improvement and enhancement and perpetuation of the fishing industry in the state of Alaska. By this resolution, it is also hoped that the cities of Seldovia, Homer, Seward and Soldotna Will join with the City of Kenai in support of a resolution with the same intent and desired result as this resolution. pASSED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, this 17th day of August, 1988.

Planning Specialist Loper referenced Section 14.20.158 for the reason for the submittal of the letter. Commissioner Bryson read the section aloud and stated that to break this -down -into different areas of impact; "the original conditional use application was for gravel extraction, the reclamation of the area into a residential development was a conforming permitted use so I feel this wouldn't be an appropriate application of this paragraph. In lieu of proceeding with a permitted use in that zone, they're proposing a use that is not permitted without a conditional use permit. The primary medium term use previously was gravel pit, the ultimate use was residential housing which is permitted. Now the same -medium term use is gravel extraction, the long term use is another conditional use requirement, the RV parks. The impact of this is I feel that it needs to go back to a formal public hearing so that the public L KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION -- - - July 13, 1988 s' page 2 can be addressed, ask for their opinion and it will be on the ,'•i record. Commissioner Nault asked if an amendment to a conditional use permit require that all the surrounding property owners be noti- fied, answer no. Commissioner Bryson stated that the CityA public advertise in the newspapers that a hearing's being held. hearing is mandatory on a conditional use? Answer yes. commis- sioner Nault: couldn't you just say that they should have to file for a conditional use permit if they're going to change the use? - - - commissioner Bryson: I don't really care how he does it I just think they should have a formal public hearing. To not have one I - think is circumventing the zoning for the city. The only protec- tion the people in the city have is when something deviates from _____.__.___.._____..._ :! the norm, the norms that are legislated, in this case the zoning ordinance, they have a right, they have a basis for making their opinions known and that is not being allowed. Commissioner O'Reilly: The use of it as an RV park though that's ' A. not against the City code is it. Answer no. I mean as opposed to 1 -- the case last week where the real estate office was, answer yes. J Y Commissioner O'Reilly: so that's why we didn't have a public hearing on that one. Chairman Smalley: The RV park could be a ` permitted use under a conditional use. Commissioner Bryson: No, it will never be a permitted use. It could be a conditional use. Chairman Smalley: I know there are some people that came this {_ •. lr evening to speak with regard this issue. Even though its not a hearing. Commissioner O'Reilly: Is that generally allowed? Chairman Smalley: We have in the past allowed them. Is there an Just so objection. Commissioner Bryson: I have no objection. {� its kept in mind its not formal testimony. Tanni Millet, 609 Ames Rd.: When this conditional use first came about in 1984 there was a lot of problems between the Foster Y' Brothers and ourselves over what the ultimate goal was going to be for this pit. We had to fight with Chester Cone for many years and we thought, well, maybe when the Fosters come in it won't be quite as bad because when you argued with Chester he'd turn his - hearing aid off and walk away from you. And we thought we'd come � to a meeting of the minds when the Foster Brothers and the j residents on Ames Rd met at our house and discussed a conditional i use permit and finally came to an agreement with all parties - involved so that we would not fight their conditional use permit j and that was the Foster Brothers ultimately turn it into a I feel very strongly as I think the residential use only area. majority of the people on Ames and Angler that our property is going to decrease so tremendously by having an RV park come in. �.. I_would_hate to think the property that we have there is going to -- -- - - „ be totally useless with an RV park around because its turned nto by the Foster Brothers that it was --- - - - a slum. We were guaranteed to be lovely homes of $150,fl00 to $250,000 on nice little �. -- going lots. And I don't really think that an RV park is appropriate for - ;- the area. Y. T. 4-7 ; . .. " KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION July 13, 1988 ! Page 3 W 1! Chairman Smalley: Is there any other comments? Will Jahrig: My name is Will Jahrig and I'm a property owner in various places in the City. I!ve been before the board on zoning for my own property and I've tried to abide by every law and every rule that was ever set forth, I've tried to not step on peoples toes even though one time I came before I did step on peoples toes because there were people opposed to me using a heavy industrial lot down here on Bridge Access Rd. They didn't like it because of the fact that I was going to be a nuisance, I was going to cause problems, I tried to do everything in my power and I think I've done a real exceptionally good job of not doing anything negative for the people, as a matter of fact the people who were against -it now have come to me and say that I have done a beautiful project. The problem we have down on Anglers Acres is that we are totally surrounded by residential, the area that Fosters wants to develop is residential around him. Where I was at I was surrounded on three sides by industrial then a bluff 45' at a different height between residential and myself. Now I feel I had a good argument and I'm sure they feel they have a good argument but I think when you start weighing the negative and the positives, what we have down there is strictly residential and because of the fact that there is some city people who are pushing for the money aspect of it, which I don't think the city is going to really reap from because of the fact that they're going to be stuck down in that area, as basically out of sight and as the saying goes, out of mind. Now Fosters already come in once and they tried to get the boat ramp put in that was the beginning of the project and they got totally shot down because of that. The ROW, we have an area that he's trying to make presentable and that's right, the intentions are good and if he follows the intentions all ready set forth under the conditional use permit on the previous he's doing a good job. I'm as much as anybody for bringing tourism to our city. Our city has a potential for tourism, I think we have a very positive outlook for tourism here, if its handled property but when you start spreading the areas out, there's one down at Beaver Creek then they'll put one out the beach, then we'll try and have one out at the old dump site, they talked about trying to do something there. The people who come here not the tourist, its good to have them come here and its good benefit to use their money that comes through but the people we've got to protect are the people who live here because we're the ones that's going to make or break the city. Not -the -outsiders— This place has been -here for --years now and if we can just keep the development going in a positive direction it'll be a positive spot. I just don't understand why _. we have to have a squabble down there in our area in a residential area. 1 C TI KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION July 13, 1988 Page 4 Chairman Smalley: Are there any other comments? Bryan Lowe: My name is Bryan Lowe and I live on Lot 6 Angler Drive and the RV is just going to destroy the area around there. You know there's .. what's going to be next is gong to be the boat ramp if they get the RV park, the way I see it. Right now there's still going to be the traffic, on the slough, they'll be parking their boats all over the bank along there there'll be trespassing on all the properties, with all that boat traffic in there, environmentally it will be killing all the king salmon smelt and scaring all the moose away and its just going to make a disaster. And the slough can't handle that many boats And I feel the RV park should not go in. You know I know Kenai needs an RV park, but you should find some where else to put is the way I feel. Chairman Smalley: Are there any further comments? John Groeneveld: My name is John Groeneveld and I have two pieces of property on Anglers Drive, lot 8 and lot 24. And my concern is primarily with the one the road traffic and foot traffic and the traffic on the slough. I think what's going to occur with the RV lot is that we're going to have an awful lot of traffic, in and out of the slough itself, degenerating the ramps, the dock areas, the boat landings that we currently have, as Bryan said the king salmon area right in front of Beaver Creek is very good at this time and the smolt do run in that general area and any, any development or further boat traffic in that given area is certainly going to degenerate the fishery that we do have going in the Kenai River, I think that any further development of boat traffic that's going to be a real problem for us all. I think that the foot traffic currently on lot 24, I have an awful lot of people who like to get down on the river and do their fishing. I'm opposed to it and opposed to any further development, I do think that the Fosters are doing a nice job, and working on their properties, I think that it could be done, it could be put to better use than We at this point in time. Thank you. Dana Roth: My name is Dana Roth, I live next to the Lowes, Bryan Lowe, the owners of the property are James Cowan and Giles Manwaring, I'm Giles' nephew, I stay there. I simply want to state for the record that I am in agreement with what I've heard here from the residents of Angler Drive and I feel that a trailer park there would environmentally, I believe it also hurts the creek itself, the additional mud washing, there's low water, I feel too it would hurt the ... trespassing, granted you get more people in an area there's a lot of private property right a lot of people just don't . really ... aren't too courteous, not that the average person isn't but you get a few bad apples and it kind of starts a trend. I think boat_ traffic would definitely be increased regardless of whether there's a dock there or not. People are just going to tie their boats up to the bank, I have a j feeling, (inaudible). Well anyway, I just wanted to state I'm in opposition to the Foster project. Thank you. i �1 r.� I y1Md��f KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION July 13, 1988 Page 5 Chairman Smalley: Any additional comments? John Lowe: My name is John Lowe and I also live on Anglers Drive down there and I'm in concurrence with everything except most of the property, they own to the meandering water line and from the proposed RV park down to the corner of where the mouth of Heaver Creek is all mud flats and there's no way to walk there. We have people today that are trying to walk down to the property, they'll park up above and they'll walk through our private property which we don't have posted because we never had a need to but there are people still trying to get down to that and you see them walking on down and they finally get down to the lower portion where there is gravel aad its still private property so I can see where the people down at the lower portion of Anglers Drive will have more of a problem than we will but they're still trying to get down there with foot traffic. But anyway'i just wanted to'express these things. Helen Groeneveld: Hello I'm Helen Groeneveld, I'm part owner with my husband in lot 8 and lot 24. I share in the same sentiment as the other people. The issue is new to me. Myself, and grandchildren like to fish on our beach, we have part of the beach past the gravel area right at the mouth of Beaver lot 24 goes up and its a dreadful problem with people coming up and thinking your lot is ok parking. Additionally we now have a dock down on the creek, if you have an opportunity to go up and down on that creek I would take a look at it its a small creek. Already that Beaver Loop intersection, if you all have fished in there, you know, you can see its, its the traffic in there you can't even get across it from one end to the other, its pretty congested. And I, again, I don't know how many spots he has planning in his trailer park but even if it was as many as 50 or 100 the thought you know, is pretty awesome, it just doesn't seem like the area can support that type of congestion. Thank you. NOTION: Commissioner Bryson: I would like to propose a motion stating that the proposed amendment constitutes a major deviation from the intent of the existing conditional use permit and should not be considered without a formal public hearing being advertised and held. As findings of fact I'd like it stated that the original permit would not Have been approved had it contained the proposed amendment. Two, a public hearing is still necessary and appropri- ate, and three, effectively the proposed method of reclamation such as residential housing which is a permitted use is now requested to become ... is now requested to be omitted. Let me restate number three. Commissioner O'Reilly: Can I ask a question. If we were to -put this in the form of a public hearing would it be taken from the Planning & Zoning and put back -before the Council or -is -it just that we want to have more public input. i. t KENAI PLANNING & ZONING CONNISSION July 13, 1988 Page 6 Commissioner Bryson: I don't care if its a conditional use permit or a reopening of hearing ... the original permit was for the boat launch wasn't it? (inaudible) I don't know that they've come to us specifically on this yet. Planning Specialist Loper: That's what you're asking? Commission Bryson: I'll strike that. Planning Specialist Loper: That's what you're asking is that they come back for a conditional use? Commissioner Bryson: Well, I guess effectively that's what I'm saying, that they apply for a conditional use permit. I would personally be happy if the City were just to reopen up the public hearings on the original permit, it doesn't matter to me just so the public has a chance to comment. Chairman Smalley: We need a second on the motion. s Planning Specialist Loper: I need to hear the motion again. Commissioner Church: Restate the motion please. (Laughter) Voice: Please. Chairman Smalley: Read it Phil. MOTION RESTATED: Commissioner Bryson: I propose a motion stating that the ... the immense ... the proposed amendment constitutes a major deviation from the intent of the existing conditional use permit and should not be considered without a formal public hearing being advertised and held. As findings of fact I would like number one, the - - original permit would not have been approved had it contained the proposed amendment and two, a public hearing is necessary and appropriate, seconded by Commissioner Church. Commissioner O'Reilly: If we go ahead and have a public hearing is that in essence saying no to what they're asking for right now. Chairman Smalley: he wants them to go through that process, he isn't necessarily saying he wants them to have a conditional use. ' He wants that process. t Commissioner O'Reilly: But if we're asking them to go through . that process of applying for a conditional use permit then in essence we're saying that we're not going to approve their request ' - for an amendment. Commissioner Church: That's correct, we need 71 more public input. �...... _... _ Commissioner Bryson: What I'm saying is that the amendment .. I still don't think the amendment is appropriate. ry Commissioner Nault: Would it be more appropriate to deny the ".; amendment. Commissioner O'Reilly: Either way you have to vote on ' .. this. Commissioner Bryson: Keep in mind that if you get reversed at the Council level its approved. ( inaudible voices t Chairman- Smalley:- -I"a vote, if - this - is -voted down it -can be . ! appealed to Council and Council can reverse our decision. And '1 I ` then its theirs. Commissioner Nault: So if we deny the amend- ment Council can reverse that. Commissioner Bryson: They can approve the amendment, yes. r j , i,. L. L "�i c KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION July 13, 1988 Page 7 Chairman Smalley: But I think it stands as a message to Council that this is probably a more appropriate way to handle this particular matter. To allow the public to provide input rather than to have something without ... Commissioner Nault: We could deny the amendment, pass it on to Council with the recommendation that it be submitted as a conditional use? Planning Specialist Loper: Council does not hear conditional use permits. Commis- sioner Nault: I know but stating clearly that the message is that we don't feel the amendment is the proper vehicle to be doing this. Chairman Smalley: I think Council will be getting a copy of these minutes. Commissioner O'Reilly: Except, Council has clone everything that is within the ordinance, I mean it is our decision, this is what Planning & Zoning Commission is supposed to be doing, making the decision. Chairman Smalley: yes or no. Commissioner Bryson: As near as I could tell from the minutes of the Council, they're up for interpretation, they were saying, well the amendment is the proper way to take ... and I feel its a major deviation. Commissioner Nault: Now what's the zoning for that area, is that rural residential? Answer yes. And an RV park is ... a permitted conditional use in a rural residential use. Planning Specialist Loper: An RV park is not mentioned at all, and by its omission it is allowed. Now that is the way it was explained to me. You're saying that you want it to be a conditional use is that right, rather than an amendment. Commissioner Bryson: I would paraphrase it .. that .. its not stated, its not addressed, in that a conditional use approval is the appropriate vehicle for permitting it. Commissioner Church: Well its such a great ... the original application was for extrac- tion of gravel and now its a completely different thing that he's asking for in an amendment and it should be two different things, I agree. Chairman Smalley: And I think a conditional use permit, you know, since it isn't specifically spoken to in the book, you know, that allows public testimony to those people that could be potentially affected by any kind -of development as such and allows that testimony to go on record. Commissioner Bryson: The major deviation I see in both cases he's proposing, effectively, gravel extraction will occur, however, in the second situation he's substituted the permitted use which was the housing and substituting -an -item that isn't -addressed (inaudi- ble) Commissioner Church: I agree. I KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION July 13, 1988 Page 8 Commissioner Nault: Well in the Council minutes, Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer stated that it doesn't have to be doesn't . have to be a conditional use permit because its part of the reclamation. - ! Commissioner O'Reilly: The other thing that I would bring up is if we go back and bring this up for more public testimony, this '. man, he's not under tremendous time constraints but if he wants to u. make this RV park go for next tourist season he needs to be able to get underway with that as quickly as possible. Commissioner Bryson: What it has come down to is the same thing --. - - in the public hearing process, the property owners have the right to petition ... items concerning their property. Commissioner --. -_-. -- Nault: So its both sides. Chairman Smalley: I agree wholeheartedly and I think what Phil is doing is trying to .. with this motion is to make that avenue available to both parties. Those that live out there and people that own the property. Commissioner Nault: If we're going to consider this as an u amendment to a current conditional use permit we have the authority to call a public hearing on that? Several inaudible voices. Commissioner Bryson: Normally the public hearing is initiated by _- .. the application for conditional use. Commissioner Nault: We're not having that position though. My question is are we allowed to 4' call for a public hearing. Commissioner Church: That's right. On an amendment. Chairman Smalley: I think in his findings of fact statement the original permit would probably not have been approved had it contained that proposed amendment. The code book speaks to had it initially been approved then so shall their additional request be o r1 approved. But it was not. 0 7l Planning Specialist Loper: Why not just a simple fail or pass, whats on the floor right now, I don't mean the amendment motion because that is something I can't keep up with, but just simply pass or fail the issue at hand. And then pass a second motion that says if he wants to return for a public hearing and go for a conditional use then that's the way you're recommending rather than this great big long statement. - --- - ------ Commissioner Bryson: Findings of -fact -are very important -when an item is going to be ruled on. Planning Specialist Loper: Yes, I agree, but you are confusing the issue at -this -point, the issue -is do you want to pass this or don't you. Yes or no. Wouldn't that be the easier way, and then your finding of facts. .. i - �a �• i I '7 KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION July 13, 1988 Page 9 Commissioner Bryson: I feel there's two specific items here. One is the appropriateness of this conditional use. Well I'm addressing the first (Several portions of conversation are inaudible due to many people speaking at once and a very loud, over riding chair squeaking) one, I think it is the more important one. I haven't even indicated what I think about the RV park. I may be very supportive of it. Commissioner Church: If we fail to pass the amendment it goes back to Council. Planning Specialist Loper: No it doesn't. (several voices all inaudible) Chairman Smalley: They can appeal it. According to Mr. Brighton and .... (several voices inaudible) Chairman Smalley: (reading from Council minutes) Councilwoman Swarner says then do I understand that it does not come back before us like zoning if it has-been defeated, -no, only if their decision is appealed. (several voices inaudible) Planning Specialist Loper: (reading from code book) Intent, this section governs all public hearings held by the Commission as required, this is not a public hearing. That's all it addresses here is public hearings, I believe that is the only thing that may be appealed to Council from this. Chairman Smalley: (reading from Council minutes) Councilwoman Bailie, are you saying that anyone who comes before Planning & Zoning may get a negative response to them does not have the right to appeal to Council, City Manager Brighton, yes, they do have that right. Planning Specialist Loper: This section only deals with public hearings and leads me to believe that (inaudible). Chairman Smalley: (all of these comments are too soft to be heard, however, Mr. Smalley is reading from a document) Commissioner Bryson: I think in addressing the applicability of the appeals, we're advisory in some aspects and have a decision making power in others, and the ones in which we have the decision making power can be reviewed, the other ones can be over ruled by off .. Council. Commissioner O'Reilly: I agree with Janet because I think we should vote yes or no on the RV park and then if you want them to bring it up as a conditional use permit, make that a second motion or a second ..... Planning Specialist Loper: It would be a real clean and easy way of doing it. Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer: About appeals, section 14.20.290 (reading from code) "appeals board of adjustment, appeals for decisions for administrative officials and commission shall be heard by the Kenai City Council acting as board of adjustment" and it goes on to list procedures. This is not in connection with the other .. there is a section here on public hearings and appeals ... Chairman Smalley: So any negative response can be appealed. -Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer:- I don't know if this -is-:. The Council voted by a 5 to 1 vote to approve that. To approve RV park._-- .Chairman Smalley: Yes, I'm aware of -that.-- - - - Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer: (reading from Council minutes) "we have the question before us to .support the concept of the Foster Brothers reclamation and it was a 5 to 1 vote. L smsss . •• r KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION July 13, 1988 Page 10 Commissioner Bryson: But in the same light they're circumventing the public ... Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer: I'm saying that if you vote it down here and they appeal it ... (several voices - inaudible) Chairman Smalley; Ok, we have a motion on the floor and its been seconded, any further discussion. Do we want .. is everybody squared away as to what the motion .... Chairman Smalley; This is the motion requesting a public hearing to support facts finding finding of facts so on. Which in a sense speaks against ... well no it doesn't either, it just speaking strictly on the conditional use itself. It has nothing to do with the RV. Commissioner Church: That's right. Call the roll. VOTE: Chairman Smalley - yes Commissioner Bryson - yes Commissioner Church - yes Commissioner Nault - yes Commissioner O'Reilly - no Commission recessed for 10 minutes. Chairman Smalley: I do have a question. Does this in a sense not C deal with the specific issue that came before us. Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer: He does not want it to be considered without a public hearing so actually isn't he postponing action on it until a public hearing can be held. Commissioner Bryson: I think probably a motion on that would be appropriate. Planning Specialist Loper: In the first finding of fact, (reading the motion) "the original permit would not have been approved had it contained the proposed amendment", that tells me no you don't want it. Commissioner Bryson: I'm saying the amendment is inappropriate. Planning specialist Loper: So your intent in the motion is voting it down. Commissioner Nault: It says in here that the only way you can approve an amendment to a conditional use permit is if the amendment, if the contents of the amendment are something that would have been approved had it contained in the original permit request. Chairman Smalley: And that's what this speaks to because it was not in the original request in any form and it would not have been approved. Commissioner O'Reilly: I have a question, by the Commission voting -in -favor -of that -motion, are wet are those people who voted yes, are they saying that they would not have voted this in had it - been in the -initial permit. -(several voices- - -all inaudible) - Planning Specialist Loper: How can you say what you would have done three years ago. Chairman Smalley: I can say what I would ` i i KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION July 13, 1988 Page 11 l have done. Commissioner Bryson: That is the only condition that tf you have to address on denying amendments. You know. I think its appropriate. We do have public testimony ... and we do have the .... Commissioners opinion at the time. Granted half the r Commissioners are new. Chairman Smalley: But based on the +i " findings of fact at that time. Commissioner O'Reilly: I don't - think its fair for any (change of tape and loss of end of statement)7. d -.----.--- Commissioner Bryson: ... and go back to the findings of fact and — see what was found to be the case. And that's the only thing they will decide on. What is the backup information that addressed , .... Commissioner O'Reilly: Who is the they that you are ,j i referring to, Planning & Zoning Commission or Council. Commissioner Bryson: Which ever side is,contesting'the :... Planning Specialist Loper: Contesting, are saying appeal? j Commissioner Bryson: I don't know. Planning Specialist Loper: I think it sounds like Margaret and I are still confused about what it is you're trying to say. Commissioner Bryson: We're making a decision, if its contested they will go to findings of fact to determine if .. to support the original motion. I, I, I'm ... to make a decision on the original motion. Planning Specialist Loper: Which would have been the one on the permit three years ago when the permit went through is that what you're referring to. Commissioner Bryson: No, the motion is that the amendment process is not appropriate. Chairman Smalley: The original application did not have an amendment in it specifically stating what the develop of an RV park. When you're talking about making a change, an amendment to a conditional use, it suggests that if it would have been in there and it would have approved, then you can approve it well it wasn't in there and the contention is that at that point in time the findings of fact would lead us to believe it would not have been approved and if you check the records you'll find it was a unanimous consent opposed to it .. well not opposed to it, it was unanimous opposed to other type of development. They approved unanimously ... it was approved to make residential houses in there. Planning Specialist Loper: Because nothing else was proposed at the time. Chairman Smalley: Nothing else was -° proposed so he's saying its inappropriate to give this amendment because it is a major deviation. Commissioner O'Reilly: It seems that we can say that there is a major deviation from what was originally proposed, the problem ,. . that I have with that is I don't think we can say that it would not have passed as presented. I mean, yes, t s d Brent ut can we say it would not have passed. Planning Specialist Loper: Right now there are only two Commissioners from the original - - --- -- - ":`. Commission when this first came through three years ago. ( ', That �.I t •t KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION July 13, 1988 Page 12 would be two out of five. Chairman Smalley: I think if you go back and check the record, if you check the testimony that came in Commissioner Church: You mean on the residential requirement? Chairman Smalley: No, Phil and I were the only two that were here. Commissioner Bryson: My comment on that would be ... your vote on the motion indicates your opinion on the motion. And ... you know, if you feel that the wording is inappropriate or incorrect ... perhaps it should be brought up for reconsideration. Commissioner O'Reilly: I have another question, with this motion - in hand and passed by the Commission, is it possible to bring up another motion that deals directly with whether or not we should allow the RV park. Commissioner Bryson: You could make another motion over riding this motion and ... Commissioner Nault: It's - not a request for a public hearing is it? Chairman Smalley: Yes it does. Planning Specialist Loper: (reading from•the written motion) It says, "it should not be considered without a formal ` public hearing behind advertised". So he's saying number one its inappropriate to approach it this way and number two he wants a public hearing. . Chairman Smalley: So at this point in time then, based on that motion and request for public hearing, in a sense then its no ` longer an issue. It would go back to Council for their decision as far as suggest that we bring it to public hearing? Council doesn't set public hearings. Planning Specialist Loper: No, your motion is asking for the public hearing not Council. Chairman Smalley: Ok, then what do the Foster Brothers have to take to Council ... by our action here. Planning Specialist Loper: Nothing. You've said its inappropriate the way it was presented and you want a public hearing. Commissioner Church: And didn't you say it should be a conditional use permit application on the RV park itself? Commissioner Bryson: That's the end result of it. They still have a use ... Commissioner Church: And who does this, the Fosters have to make application for a conditional use permit for the RV park, not the Council. Chairman Smalley: For our own protection would we be best off placing another motion. Commissioner Nault: Well that's what I was just going to suggest, that, if we could reconsider this motion and separate these two ,. questions, it might make things a little more clear. Separate the two questions of whether an amendment is an appropriate vehicle - - -` for requesting what they want to request and whether, there ought to be a motion suggesting that a conditional use permit is the proper vehicle. Commissioner Church: We're not answering his question. Because he's requesting and amendment. Commissioner O'Reilly: That goes back to the original idea we brought up before he made the motion was brought up as to whether .. during --.--_---_--;.------._- -. discussion I guess _ _ Chairman Smalley:- The motion -indicates the - LL amendment process is inappropriate according to us so I think that would speak s t f c s eiic o his re specific _- _ _ quest, Commissioner Church; Ok. ` The microphone began to squeal at this point - a large part of s. conversation is lost. I ' Tf + t r ,h r `i i KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION July 13, 1988 Page 13 Commissioner Nault: I was at a Council meeting a couple weeks , ago, it was a meeting or a work session, he was there and he brought up this same notion and I think the loyal opposition were 1 also present and at that point the Cnuncil's direction to him was this doesn't belong here take it to Planning & Zoning. Commissioner O'Reilly: And then Council brought it up again. And gave approval. Commissioner Nault: Right, the discussion began with a report on the Economic Development Commission and about having an RV park within the City somewhere and it somehow meandered over to this application. And I don't know was there an application before the Council at the time the discussion meandered in this direction. Commissioner Bryson: No, applications would come before Planning & Zoning Commission rather r than Council. Commissioner Nault: So nothing formally was before --- -- ---- Council regarding Fosters proposal. Commissioner Bryson: Correct. Commissioner Nault: So discussion just happened to move along in that direction and they ended up voicing their support for the kind of concept they believe he's proposing though he wasn't proposing anything at that point. Commissioner O'Reilly: So is there anybody here that can answer f this question about whether we can make a motion saying yee or no to the RV park. Chairman Smalley: You can do that. Commissioner Nault: I think to clean things up what we need to do is .... r` Chairman Smalley: The prior motion doesn't speak towards the RV park it speaks towards the process. Commissioner Nault: but what Fare we going to vote on. If we're going to say hie process is inappropriate then why are we even going to consider it a question if he hasn't put it before us in a way we consider it appropriate. Chairman Smalley: One thing that would be appropriate would be for us to move for a postponement on that decision until Council has had a chance to review our recommendation to them. Commissioner O'Reilly: But that's not our recommendation, that's just our opinion on this decision. That's a recommendation to the t technicality of whether it should be an amendment or a new t conditional use. Commissioner Nault: Right. { NOTION: Commissioner O'Reilly: I move that the Planning & Zoning y Commissioner recommends approval of the amendment to the conditional use permit, seconded by Commissioner Nault Commissioner O'Reilly: I can say that as an employee of the Kenai Chamber of Commerce I see tourists every single day. I was there when the Chamber of Commerce was taking a survey as to how many people were asking for RV parks and I do believe that it will brine quite a bit of money into the City of Kenai and its not that people are going to be stuck in Beaver Loop because is what happened; the -60- and -65 year old people driving -the _ RV's have come to the Chamber and say, what's there to do in Kenai and also where can I go, --where is there a nice RV park where-1-can hook up. So they're in the City in the heart of the City already and then you can say there's an RV park here on Beaver Loop. And I also feel r- BWt KBNAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION July 13, 1988 Page 14 C that, its not the responsibility of the City to build an RV park and here's a person in the private sector who wants to build it, they have the financing available, and I feel that that's the way it should be done. Chairman Smalley: Any other discussion. Commissioner Nault: I feel that we need to separate the concept of a privately developed RV park from the question of whether its an appropriate use in the neighborhood that its in or the neighborhood its proposed for. I think they're two separate questions and I don't think we should necessarily wrap them up in one ball. Chairman Smedley: In a sense then what are you saying. Commissioner Nault: I'm saying that its ... I'm saying that what we need to consider is the appropriateness of that conditional use for that particular neighborhood rather than get all wrapped up in the issue of whether we all support a privately funded RV park some where in Kenai. Whoever asks oirst gets it. Chairman Smalley: Conment, Margaret, based on what you said, based on some of the testimony that came in from earlier tonight from folks that live in that general vicinity, is it in the best interest of the City to allow a use that will .. may bring potential revenue for ... store and shop owners in the City of Kenai for a short period of time and potentially create a land devaluation for property owners that live out there. Which, what Cis in the best interest of the City. Commissioner O'Reilly: where is it determined exactly that the land will definitely go down in value because of the fact that there's an RV park. It would depend first off on the nature of the Kil park, if the Fosters build an RV park which is nice, which is clean, which has grass, the people that want to inhabit these RV parks ask for that kind of thing and I think as a private enterprise you would try to please your customers. So I think if it turned into an RV park which was nice which is what we'd all like, that may not put the value of the property down. Chairman Smalley: In a discussion with a real estate broker just today concerning that specific issue, that is something that can have an effect on property value. People trying to sell real estate in an area that may be affected by an RV park. Because of the increase in traffic, foot traffic, automobile traffic, etc. That particular area being a road that does not have a margin on the side, a two lane road. It will have a negative impact on property value and that came from one real estate broker today. I called specifically because I had contacted ten people that live down in that area and asked them about it. Some of those folks are trying to sell and that's also what they had been told. So I also contacted just one of -those -real estate agencies, and they said ch yes it definitely will have an affect. Commissioner O'Reilly: Well everything has an effect. But real estate values are quite relevant. I think that you, I'm not saying that you could find another real estate agent who would say r-- KENAI PLANNING & ZONING CONNISSION July 13, 1988 Page 15 r that it was going to increase the value of the property, however, its not set in stone, it makes a difference as to what type of RV park its going to be. Chairman Smalley: I agree with that but perhaps there's, perhaps there's more appropriate land available within the City for such a use than development rather than in a residential zone. Commissioner O'Reilly: But would it be appropriate to have an RV park in, I think a residential zone would be an appropriate place for an RV park. Commissioner Nault: I just found a more organized way to say what I was trying to say. Conditional uses are supposed to be (reading from Code) "similar to principal uses permitted in the zone and in harmony with the intent of the zone". The intent of that zone is to preserve the rural or good quality of•the environment to prevent health hazards in areas not served by public water and sewer. We're supposed to prohibit uses which would violate the residential character of the environment and generate heavy traffic in predominately residential areas. And I think there are several of these things that people have directly spoken to tonight including that the public health hazard because it is not served by water and sewer and people don't have the facilities they need in that area. In terms of preserving the rural open quality of the environment because its a much heavier density of development than anything that's out there. Sven though its only for part of the year its going to increase the population in that area incredibly for a period of time. Which in my mind would violate the residential character of the environment you would also generate heavy traffic in a predominately residential area and it would probably contribute to the trespass problem to these folks who own their property out there. So if that's a more organized way what I was trying to say. VOTE: Commissioner Bryson - no Commissioner Church - no Commissioner Nault - no Commissioner O'Reilly - yes Chairman Smalley - no Commissioner Nault: The only other thing I want to do is clarify to City Council that our intent was to deny it as an amendment and to make it clear to them that the proper vehicle for bringing it back to the Commission is a new conditional use. Chairman Smedley: Phil's motion should do that. Commissioner O'Reilly: Well the two -together should do that. Chairman Smalley: Someone may have to read it to them ... I understand what you're saying. Commissioner Nault: The last issue that I feel like we dealt --- which this on was the question of the rezoning of that-Dena'Ina (� Point subdivision and I don't feel like a lot of the things we did were clearly communicated having gone to the City Council meeting a �. F KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION July 13, 1988 Page 16 where they all considered the issue. I want to make it very clear to them that that's what we're doing, we're not expressing an opinion on the RV park yes or no, what we're doing is expressing an opinion that the amendment is not the way to go about it. Chairman Smalley: I think dealing with Phil's motion first and this one second speaks to that. b. Lease Application: Tract Bj.Gust S/D #6 James _0-0y—le C. Lease A lication: Tract C. Gust Z S/D #6-- James H. Doyle TAKEN TOGETHER Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer explained that both leases are for additional parking of trailer vans adjacent to his existing lease. The lease application designates five to ten years, you may want to be more specific, either five or ten. Commissioner Nault asked what was on the lot presently, answer a few trees and trailer vans. Commissioner Nault stated that there is a large scale project going on there, is that just Coral Street? Answer yes. NOTION: Commissioner Bryson moved to approve the leases from James Doyle for Tracts B and C for Gusty S/D #6 for a period of ten years, seconded by Commissioner O'Reilly. VOTE: Notion passed unanimously by roil call vote d. Leased Lando/Approval of Building: Lots 5 & 6, Block 4, CIIAP Hal urton Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer explained that this is a request for a simple addition to their building. A representative of Haliburton explained that this is a dry storage shed on the south side of the lot. Commissioner Bryson asked if they were in compliance with their development, answer they have been in business several years, they have a very old lease with the covenant that any construction come before this body. MOTION: Commissioner Bryson moved to approve the proposed amendment of lease -for Lots 5 & 6 CHAP for HaMurton, seconded by_ Commissioner O'Reilly VOTE: Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION i July 13, 1988 i Page 17 6. Leased Lands/Approval of Building: Inlet Salmon, Inc. Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer explained that the drawing is very confusing. In looking at the area with the dock, it is their plant, however, what you won't find is the area for construction. - it appears that perhaps it will be built on to the end of the building, and perhaps not even attached to the building. It is going to be used just for storage. This is similar to the other lease. Commissioner Nault noted that the drawing does state the '- building will be attached. Commissioner Nault asked if it meets all setback requirements, '-- -------- -- -r answer it is addressed through the building permit process and it is in an industrial zone. Chairman Smalley asked if we approve - i' this for storage of say, paper products, can it be used for -.- anything else? Answer from Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer, :. you are really only approving the construction of the building, not what it is used for. You only come into use situations when <. the uses are changed of the over all lease. MOTION: Commissioner Bryson moved to approve the requested building modification for the lease to Inlet Salmon, seconded by Church VOTE: - - 0 Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. S.

Commissioner Smalley asked for a message to be passed to Council, "I specifically am not opposed to RV parks in the City of Kenai, I think that they definitely can be advantageous to the City, there's not doubt about that, the amount of tourism is here. I think they need to take a real careful look and find property that would be better suited within the City for such development and I believe it does exist". 13.

Lease Application: Lot 6, Blk 2, CHAP S/D - Trucking Co, Trailer Parking and Freight Transfer Lot - Carlile Enterprises Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer explained that this is a straightforward application. It does not appear that there will be any new driveways into the street, and it will be used for parking and freight handling. MOTION: Commissioner Bryson moved for approval, seconded by Commissioner Brown. VOTE: Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. L L �1 KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION August 10, 1988 Page 2 b. Release of Tidelands for Lease: Seaward of Lot 2, Proposed Kristine S/D 0 Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer explained that this is similar to the situation with Northland Services. This will be the first round for approval, the consideration of releasing the land for lease. Not necessarily for an individual, but Just the area itself. Both of these leases are (Lot 3) close together. This one is next to Salamatof, on the opposite side as the last application. The other lease for lot 3 is a bit further down. Both are about 2 acres. NOTION: Commissioner Brown moved for approval, seconded by Commissioner Bryson. Commissioner Bryson: is the motion to approve satisfactory to what you need, answer the motion should be in the form of your recommendation to Council regarding the release of these lands. Chairman Smalley read the section under "policy" regarding beneficial industries and asked if this would be considered a beneficial industry. Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer it would be difficult to say at this point because the code conflicts with itself. It wants you release the area for lease with no specific individual in mind and yet it is saying the only way you can do that is if it is a beneficial industry. Until you have an application in front of you can't really make that determination. If you release this area for lease and take applications for lease and find that it is not a beneficial industry you really haven't lout anything by going ahead. Chairman Smalley: A privately owned off-loading facility is not a beneficial use to the City. Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer: That would be the all commission and Council's job after this evening. Commissioner Brown: My interpretation of that would be an industry employs some local people, then that would be benefit to the City as opposed to some outside firm coming in and leasing it. There would be no dollars coming back into the area. Commissioner Bryson: Is it probable that competitive leases would come back to us? Answer no. In the situation with Northland that didn't happen. Commissioner Bryson: In both cases for request for releases are they the same petitioner? Answer no. Commissioner Bryson: In both cases they control the upland? Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer: They have an agreement, Royal Pacific has a lease on the upland side and I think the savie owner has the entire strip and has separate agreements with both. Commissioner Bryson: Do you happen to know the terms of the first release are? Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer: We have not, r) �1 r KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION August 10, 1988 Page 3 at this point, entered into a lease agreement with them. What was agreed upon was a two year lease with an option for renewal at the end of the two years and was based upon 6% of the current value and works out to be roughly $2,000 per year. He will not be constructing this year. Commissioner Bryson: Was the two year lease term proposed by the city, answer no. It was proposed by him. That is the minimum time for leases, the maximum being 55 years. NOTION RESTATE: Commissioner Brown moved to recommend to council that Planning Zoning Commission recommends that the lands being considered for the possibility of being of beneficial industry to the City be considered available for leasing, approved by second - Commissioner Bryson. VOTE: Notion passed unanimously by roll call vote. C. Release of Tidelands for Lease: Seaward of Lot 3, Blk 3, Proposed Kristine S/D #1 Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer explained that this is the same situation and same general area. NOTION: Commissioner O'Reilly moved to recommend to Council that Planning & Zoning Commission recommends release of tidelands for lease, seconded by Commissioner Brown. Commissioner Bryson: The way these two have been laid out there is a considerable area of land between them and up to the end of the first one considered tonight. Are there other land owners up above that control land that we may be cutting off? Answer no, I believe Mr. Fredrickson owns one parcel and Mr. Dragoeth owns the other. VOTE: Notion passed unanimously by roll call vote d. Release of Lands for Lease: Lots 6 & 7, Sec. 15, T5N, R11W - Georae Miller Chairman Smalley asked if this was the same parcel we had dealt with a couple years ago, answer no. Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer explained that Mr. Miller came in in April 1987 and It 7. talked about it but never took it any further. He has decided to pp move ahead with it. Both parcels were patented to the City in 41. 1964. There is no access to either parcel and he understands that, he fools that he can buy access. Commissioner Bryson: is the entirety of this area uplands? It was unknown. Commissioner Bryson asked for material concerning t V7 �I : j -- KBNAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION August 10, 1988 Page 4 topography. Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer asked if this would be necessary in the decision to release. Commissioner Brown asked if Administration felt the City had no use for it. Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer: The Council will take a look at this after your recommendation.- Commissioner O'Reilly: Do we want to know what he is going to use the land for at this point? Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer: That should not be a consideration at this point. Commissioner Bryson: That may be, however, I would like to know if it is wetlands, what plans the City has for providing access, if it is reasonable to have access. Just because somaone petitions for City land doesn't mean the City has to dispose of it. Commissioner Brown: I would disagree. -I feel that if there are private people out there that are interested in land and it has been sitting there since 1964, and•the City hasn't done anything with it by now and if there is an interested party out there, I would say to that private party "go for it". Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer: As remote as it is, I can't think of anything that it could be used for. Commissioner O'Reilly: Why did we acquire this? Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer: It was patented to us along with a lot of other lands. Chairman Smalley: Things are changing a great deal around the City and that particular stretch for those two parcels are probably the most heavily fished sections of the Kenai River. Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer: That is-ggite a bit of land, those parcels are probably about 11 acres. Comission recessed to review maps. Commissioner Bryson: Have any other commissions reviewed this? Answer no. Chairman Smalley: I think it would be a good idea since the Land Use Plan designates this for public use and conservation. Administrative Assistant Gerstlauer: If you feel better about it we can send it to Parks & Rec. There does not appear to be a time crunch. Commissioner Brown: We could recommend it contingent upon review by Parks & Rec. Chairman Smalley: The only problem I have with that is that technically we've made a decision. Commissioner Brown: if we recommend that the City Council put it up for sale and the Parks & Rec didn't agree with us, they can tell the Council that and it is their decision. NOTION: Commissioner Brown moved to recommend to the City Council that Lots 6 & 7, Section 15, T5N, R11W be made available for sale, seconded by Commissioner O'Reilly NOTION: - - - -- - - - -- Commiesioner Bryson moved to table this item pending the Parks & Rec Commission reviews the proposal � L J J KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION August 10, 1988 Page 5 VOTE: Commissioner O'Reilly - no Chairman Smalley - yes Commissioner Brown - no Commissioner Bryson - yes Tie vote - motion fails Commissioner Brown: Again, if this land has been in the City's hands since 1964 and the City has not found a reasonable usage for it, that it be made available to any private party that wishes to bid on it. Commissioner O'Reilly: The reason I voted no on the tabling is because it can still go to Parks & Rec. We as a Commission should make our decision and they can make theirs and the two together can be considered by Council. Commissioner Bryson: Without formulating even a considering a limited access to either one or both parcels, the City is doing a disfavor to themselves and also putting the upland property owner in a tremendous economic advantageous position. Commissioner Brown asked if letters were sent to everyone within 3001, answer no. It is done through general advertising. Commissioner Bryson: I was only half joking when referring to an RV situation but if we open an area like this and the area is salvageable that might not be a bad idea. VOTE: Chairman Smalley - no Commissioner Brown - yes Commissioner Bryson - no Commissioner O'Reilly - yes Tie vote - motion fails MOTION: Commissioner Bryson moved to recommend this issue go to Parks & Rec Commission, seconded by Commissioner Brown. Commissioner O'Reilly: I'm curious, is there a specific reason you want this to go before that commission first? Commissioner Bryson: Rather than working in parallel to them, we are the body that usually determines land uses. They have the prime input as far as uses, and we should be getting that information before making a decision. Commissioner Brown: I'm against holding up the process. I've been through this process before in the past and it seems like the bureaucracy continues to grow and private people come in and see an opportunity to provide something in the City and they have an idea and it takes months for it to get carried through and by then the �.J L :4 KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION August 10, 1988 Page 6 person has lost interest. However, if sending it to Parks & Rea is going to satisfy the two Commissioners that voted against making it available for sale, then I'll vote for it. Mr. Miller has put the light on the property and that may generate other interest. Commissioner Bryson: If that is the case then the City has the responsibility to provide access. Commissioner Brown: Before putting it up for sale? Commissioner Bryson: Legal access to it before putting it up for sale, otherwise I think they're doing the residents of the City of Kenai a disservice. Commissioner Bryson: Doe the Harbor Commission have jurisdiction over the middle portion of the estuary. Planning Specialist Loper: Generally, its from the bridge to the mouth of the river, particularly after the Kenai River Management Plan. VOTE: Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote e.

The City of Kenai has purchased all the decorations now in use from Mr. Perine. This year the Committee asked to most with Mr. Perine personally and look over the brochures of new items. ' councilwoman Bailie noted that the streets are fairly well covered, however, the memorial park is bare and would be in a good position to get something going that would catch the eye of those entering the City. The Committee agreed upon the newest item, a shape outlined in clear lights, the shape chosen was of a tree. Director McGillivray noted that in the past they had trouble with the bulbs for the old decorations and Mr. Perine recommended a type of bulb. The Committee recommended a presentation to Council regarding the replacement bulbs, a string of lights to surround the gazebo and down the pillars, plus the line lighted tree. Director McGillivray was asked to do the presentation. 3. COMMITTEE QUESTIONS & COMMENTS The Committee asked that the sign proposal by Mr. Stephan be - considered Thursday.

Mr. Sherman had several suggestions, one of which was the base which Mr. Sherman felt was of importance, irregardless of the design chosen. A sort of "frame around a picture".

MOTION: Councilman McComsey moved approval of the amended consent agenda, seconded by Councilwoman Swarner VOTE: - - Motion passed by Unanimous Consent S. SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT a. Dick Morgan: Mr. Morgan presented written material regarding the Kenai Golf Course. Mr. Morgan stated that he wished to bring the Council up to date on the development of the golf course. - Construction of the back nine was completed, the 18 hole course was delayed somewhat by the unseasonably dry summer. The fairways are planted and growing except for the immediate vicinity of the _ .. lake, the tees and greens are being manually finished. Additional parking spaces have been constructed, additional parking spaces for campers have been completed. The back nine has two bridges, one about 80' in length and is 95% completed, the other is 300' in length and about 45% complete. We still have to relocate a part of the nature trail in the area that it conflicts with the course. We have purchased our own equipment and are working on improving the greens and upgrading the course. I am told that we have the best fairways in Alaska. Next year we intend to construct an equipment building and furnish motorized golf carts at a reasonable rental.- We have acquired soft wear, and are furnishing local handicaps td 328 people. Later this year, after some adjustments we will have the course officially rated by an authorized USDA official so that our handicap may be used anywhere in the US. We opened the _course on May 19th of this year and through July 31st we averaged 150 9 hole rounds per day. The majority -of -the - - -- — --- -- -- users are local, however, we have had people from many states and countries. We -will -collect about $10,000 in sales taxes this - --- - --- - - -- ---- ----- year. a i KENAI CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 3, 1988 PAGE 3 Now to the problems. In June we received a bill from the City of Kenai for rental of the back 9. I went to the Finance Director and explained that the course was not operational and therefore no rent was due. I thought he agreed with me although he said if I owned it for one day I would have to pay rent for the year. The first year's rent is $500, it cost an additional $7500 rental charge down the line. There is no way I can regain $7500 so I'll probably not open it this year, if the City maintains this posture. The dry weather has made this a somewhat irrelevant issue, unless there is some rain I won't be able to open anyway. A few days ago I received another statement that said I was now delinquent and the bill was overdue. I sent it back to the City with a notation that the back 9 was not operational and no rent was due. I assumed it was a computer ert'or but I would like confirmation that I am not delinquent. I received property assessments, later a tax bill for real property from the Borough calling it lease hold interest. on leases fashioned after sample lease, furnished and published by the National Golf Foundation. I gave this sample lease to the City Attorney and stated that it served for a basis for argument. Copies of the sample lease and arguments are here. The samples were passed out. Your attorney deleted the phrase, I have been removed from the tax rolls, and I am not subject to taxation. The words ad locum (sic) and the words subs ani (sic) I noticed these changes when I compared the city prepared lease and the original and thought that Tim was playing games in your interest but also thought that the paragraph was explicit enough to avoid the necessity to delay the signing of the lease and the commencement of construction. It may take a court action to make that determination. Had I known that I was going to be required to pay taxes on municipal lands for approximately $100,000 during the term of my lease I would not have offered to pay the rental charge which escalates to $15 per thousand per year in ten years time. I hereby request the City of Kenai amend our lease agreement to lower the rental payments to $1,000 per year for each lease or protect me legally from this tax problem by upholding my non taxable basis which I think we successfully pursued. As an example, Rink Inc has a lease of $1.00 per year on a $10 million dollar structure and pays no lease hold interest on real property taxes. Incidentally I still think the City of Kenai should drop the clandestine type suit against me on the road easement difficulties. We should be supporting each other not adversaries. Councilwoman Sailiet To the -Finance Director, the rent on the back 9 was that a computer error as Mr. Morgan suggested in getting the -delinquent notice? Finance -Director -Brown.— This was the first notice that I've had that there was no intent to operate it this year. When I talked to Mr. Morgan he said he did intend to open i KENAI CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 3, 1988 PAGE 4 it this year, my response was, the first year of operation is defined as when its open any part of any calendar year. so for one day he owes $500. Its not until tonight that I heard him say he did not intend to open it this year. If he will give us a statement saying that he will not open it this year, we will not bill him. Until that's done we have no choice. Mr. Morgan: How can I be delinquent when I haven't finished it. The way the lease is written, there is no question we agreed, that is when its operational. Finance Director Brown: Based on that statement is the reason we left the billing as we did. The last time I spoke with you I came away from the conversation believing that you would open it. President Pro Tempore Monfor: Mr. Morgan would you have a problem with writing a quick statement to Mr. Brown stating that it won't be open this year and he can take it out of the computer? Answer no problem. Councilwoman Swarner: Do other lease holders pay property taxes? Answer from City Manager, all lease holders pay property taxes. Mr. Morgan: However, all other lease holders have different coverages on their leases, this is not like all other leases. City Manager Brighton: I was suggesting that all leases within the City of Kenai pay property taxes. Councilwoman Bailie: I think the golf course has had a tremendous impact on the community and the rates have been extremely low and I know this from first hand experience. In order for the course to remain a municipal course, affordable to the majority of the people in the community, see us follow a course similar to that of 8oldotna with the sports arena. we need to look at the terms Mr. Morgan has put out the lease. At the end of 20 years, this course will ultimately revert back to the city at no charge to the city and I think we need to keep in mind that no charge. Under these circumstances I would like to see us come up with some type of arrangement whereby the city might possibly be the owners of the course and lease out the operation to Mr. Morgan for a 20 year period which would allow him to maintain and run the course, therefore no taxes as long as it is municipally owned by the city then there would be no taxes paid to the Borough. If that is not agreeable then possibly lower his rates, but I would hope that we could work with him in this situation because it is going to be practically -impossible for him to run it under the existing circumstances. City Attorney Rogers: For the record, he does make one suggestion perhaps, if the Council feels that way, I would first want to look at lowering the lease rate as he has indicated and seeing the taxes. That would be in -the interest of uniformity of other property holders. And that alternative is something I hadn't heard from any quarter before. The dollars--don't-appear to -be the same, by lowering the rental rate on the property. Insofar as, { R: } �11l. i ttt t KENAI CITY COUNCIL I 1` AUGUST 3, 1988 PAGE 5 perhaps writing an entirely new document then your talking really the franchise. Talking of exclusive use of the facility by one person for profit owned by the city and you're talking the possibility of it being designated franchise which means a vote of -- the people. If its going to be a franchise. I want to stay away ` from that. Councilwoman Bailie: Wouldn't that be similar to what we've done ' at the airport. City Attorney Rogers: We used RFP's for that. Councilwoman Bailie: Initially we used RFP's for this golf course and Mr. Morgan was the only one that applied. City Attorney Rogers: Right, but now you have a completed facility and I think you could get into problems. He didn't mention that as an ' ' alternative you did. What he is asking from Council is 1) we ;j either litigate the problem, 2) we reduce the rent and that could • {• be taxes or something of that nature, 3) we somehow alleviate the necessity of him paying taxes. I think that reduction in the rent r would be the easiest way to accomplish what he is requesting if that is the Council's desire. Councilwoman Bailie: I think that unlike other leases the city " has entered into around the community I know of no other that the I completed project would in fact be turned over to the city for y community use at no charge to the city and I think this is some- thing we as a Council should not lose sight of. The value of that property and the improvements that it will make not only for the sportsman but for the community but to the whole City of Kenai and I would hope that we could work with Mr. Morgan on this. ". City Attorney Rogers: I don't recall, was there a renewal after j the 20 year terms? Answer from Mr. Morgan: yes, there was a 20 i year option. Councilwoman O'Reilly: For City Attorney, what is the implications of changing the words "such" to "any" in the lease sample. City Attorney Rogers: It appears what you are attempting to do is exempt him from taxes and that's what I want to avoid. If that's the tact the Council wants to take, we'll research it. As I and Charlie have indicated we're being asked to dispose of - this now and I don't want to give answers without the benefit of research. Finance Director Brown: I did speak with Gilman and the Borough assessor and their position is the City cannot exempt tax. Its a i state law and a Borough function. City Attorney Rogers: If !' Council wants to give a guy a break because it is a quasi public facility, then talk in terms of lease rates rather than exemption of taxes. President Pro Tempore Monfor: I think tonight we can't give you f - any answers; but perhaps council would like to give some direction - to administration. _ � 4 f is KENAI CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 3, 1988 PAGE 6 Councilwoman O'Reilly: I would like to have both Tim and Charlie research it and see what we can come up with. City Attorney Rogers: My time line schedule will be the latter part of September. Councilwoman Swarner: I would like to see the City Attorney research lease payments. City Attorney Rogers: I would like copies of your prepared notes in order to save time in - transcripts. Mr. Morgan stated that he indeed had copies he would be glad to give the attorney. President Pro Tempore Monfor: Are we still in litigation with the golf course regarding the roads? Answer yes. Councilman McComsey: On the $500 lease and wanting to open for one day, could you explain? Mr. Morgan: Theoretically, I should open for one day for tax purposes. For one day it will cost me $7500 and that's about what it saves in taxes. City Attorney Rogers: It triggers the progress payments on the lease just like it would trigger his depreciation schedule on his improvements. Councilwoman Bailie: I would ask that we have something back before us the last week in September. C. PUBLIC HEARINGS 1.

President Pro Tempore Monfor called for comments from the public, there were none. Councilwoman Bailie informed the Council that the Beautification Committee had met with Mr. Perin from the Perine Decorating services and the tree on the back of the resolution gives a sample of the tree the Committee is requesting and is three dimensional. The money includes complete lighting of the gazebo. ' ' VOTE: Motion passed by unanimous consent D. COMMISSION/COMMITTEE REPORTS 1. Council on Aaina No report 2. Airport Commission Councilwoman O'Reilly informed the Council that the next meeting will be Thursday next week. 3. Economic Development Commission No report 4. -_Harbor Commission Councilwoman Bailie stated that there was no meeting. However, Chairman Quesnel and Councilwoman Bailie went on a tour of the waterfront. The Corps of Engineers came down on Saturday and took some videos with a narrative report on the sandbar. Anyone who has seen it esp. at this time with -the fishing boats has seen that it is a problem for the boats to get around it.' Hopefully, something will be done on that. The second item of information is that Doug Coughenhower of the Marine Advisory has spoken to the businessmen in the community and is now sending a survey to the various fishermen and will be coming out with the results in the nearfuture. Councilman Measles mentioned that he hoped he would be able to take that Commission. Councilman McComsey asked about the Corps permit. Public Works Director Kornelis reported that we have received the Corps permit . . ■ -- - - 1. _.1 j R :, x 3. s. KENAI CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 3, 1986 PAGE 8 L for signature. It will have to be signed by them and returned and should return next week. There is a meeting with the Borough 8/16 concerning the contract they are going to let to haul material for the fill. It will depend upon that outcome, however, I understand the majority of the people are in favor of it. Councilman McComsey asked about the cold storage facility. councilman Brighton answered that he had spoken to Bernie Riechert and he sent a package to us. He had gotten the word that the preapplication said yes, go ahead and submit it with these two corrections and chances are extremely good the grant will be awarded. The final application should be in the mail by the end of the week. Councilman McComsey asked about the dock facility. Answer from Public Works Director Kornelis, the'dock has been very busy and has been a good year for us. Councilman Mccomsey: I understand we need a higher volume diesel pump. Public Works Director Kornelis stated that we never anticipated so many tenders coming in. They have been taking oei4,000 gallons at a time. That is one of the items we need to look at for next year. Councilman McComsey asked if storage is going to be a problem. Public Works Director Kornelis did not feel it would be. The tanker would be able to come down and fill the tank. Any time we get over 10,000 we get into stiffer regulations. Councilwoman Bailie: While on our tour I went into the rest rooms to check out the showers and in the ladies, there is a hole right through the wall. Public Works Director Kornelis stated that the hole is gone. Are those facilities being used? Answer yes. We received the meter system and the hole that you saw was for that. Now you put the coins in and it runs, the number of coins regulates the amount of water. Before that it was free. We had some vandalism and fish cleaning problems, but it is getting better. Councilwoman Swarner: I know its a busy season, but is the parking lot always that congested and is there someone going around making sure the boats are not there for more than 15 minutes or so. Public Works Director Kornelis: The parking lot has been congested since the dipnetting began. That has been the biggest cause. The only solution may be to lengthen the ramp for the lower tides in order to move the boats that get left high and dry. We have not gotten the word from the City 'Attorney, regarding marine law. Right now we are handling as a civil case. Swede is very good. People get impatient, but Swede is handling it well. The docks are doing 4 times the capacity it was designed for and that is a problem. Councilman-McComsey: When -we get the sand in-the.new.place we - should have more room for the staging area. If the cars aren't -there shouldn't the boats -have more room? Public Works Director Kornelis: No, its more a problem of getting the boats in and out with the mud problems. 4 A 1f � KENAI CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 3, 2988 PAGE 9 S. Kenai Bicentennial Commiseic Chairman Cowan reported that on behalf of the Commission, thank you Council for your support.. Several members have expressed the desire to continue on and we would appreciate that opportunity. We feel that this is a necessary step to the proper funding and we would like to voice our support to the contribution to the set up that has been proposed by Councilwoman Bailie. That money is sorely needed and will pay back in multiples. President Pro Tempore Monfor: As the Council representative for the Commission I have mixed feelings about sunsetting this Commission and I want to say that without the work that went into it since the beginning of the year we probably wouldn't be going on to the next step. This is an exciting time for the City. I personally want to thank all those members that were on the Commission. The goals and objectives will be carried on, it was a hard task and they did an excellent job. Councilwoman Bailie: There are not many communities that can boast being 100, but being 200 will make this something to be remember long after 1991 and I would like to thank Mr. Cowan and the others for giving up their time. 6. Library Commission President Pro Tempore Monfor reported that there has not been a meeting for the summer months. No report. 7. Recreation Commission Director McGillivray reported that all meetings have been suspended until September. 1. We are having the first wedding Monday evening in the Memorial Park. 2. Summer Rao Program is ending Friday. 220 youngsters were enrolled. Luanne came back to handle the program. 3. The new softball field is coming along, the grass is coming up. 4. The Memorial Park is extending down toward the Uptown motel. 5. There are new brochures out and are available and have been distributed to hotels and the Chamber. 6. Just completed numbering all camping sites in the Municipal Park using the railroad ties. We will be coming back to order more picnic tables, camp stoves, and we won't be asking for appropriations. 7. We are going to have a group at the softball fields Saturday numbering about 200-- 300. Councilwoman -Bailie: Regarding the -Leif Hansen -Park, the small green building that's over there, I've heard rumors that that is going to be removed, is that true? Director McGillivray: I R __l I �I KENAI CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 3, 1988 PAGE 10 talked to the FAA people about the time we were beginning work in that area and they indicated that they would have all of their cables changed out by this fall. Their answer was "we can have it,,. If it is structurally sound, we could move it and use it for storage. Councilwoman Bailie: The large tree that is in front of the gazebo should be limbed because it obscures the view of the gazebo. Director McGillivray: We were going to do that one along with the others, however we ran out of time. It will be done. Councilwoman Bailie: Regarding.the banners, at our last meeting, Janet Loper indicated that there was no clear indication as to what department is in charge of the banners. There is a lot of problems connected with it in that it seems there is no way you can't keep it from coming off the ends so I told her I would mention it to you to see if we can get one department that would at least take a look at it and see if we can alleviate this problem. City Manager Brighton: Obviously Public Works is the only department that can, or is most logical to acquire the facility to repair those things. There is no need to proceed until we get those repaired banners back so that we only need to hire equipment to do it one time. Councilwoman Bailie: Yesterday when we were meeting with the gentleman for the Christmas decorations, he had some suggestions; using a larger pole on the top and a grommet on the side of one of them allowing them to attach to the pole on the bottom part which would allow it to swing freely. He said this is the way the olympic banners were done in L.A. and had very good results. These have been too expensive not to try some method. Director McGillivray: On his banners, on the lower portion where he said they attached with grommets to the pole, the grommets were placed on the point of the banner, the bottoms were not squared off as ours are. If you attach one on ours, that one end is going to whip in the wind. The other design seems to make more sense. The other solution could be good old velcro. Councilwoman O'Reilly: I might suggest an additional point of distribution as that of schools for newly registered students for people new to the community as there are things here for all age groups. Public Works Director Kornelis: The only reason I have not gotten involved with the banners up to this point was because there was no public works involved. We had to go out to AirTek and it has been done through the Beautification budget. I would be more than willing to. -take over the banners if you wish. Councilwoman Bailie: It seems to me a bracket dould-be designed that would be a lot more serviceable than that which have up right now. It probably wouldn't take much. i t i„ KENAI CITY COUNCIL i AUGUST 3, 1988 PAGE 11 Councilwoman Swarner: I would like to complement Kayo on the brochure and also would like to see it distributed to schools. Has there been an increase in the use of the gym and other ' facilities? Director McGillivray: Not in the downstairs area, no, however it does pick up as soon as the weather changes. Councilwoman Swarner: I got some figures this afternoon from Charlie regarding the revenue received for 1987 and 1968. k was down quite a bit. Do you keep track of users? Answer no. I do believe it will increase with winter. We saw a big change in the f number of people that use the racquetball courts versus the gym. A lot of people who used racquetball courts previously, because of the economy, now use -the gym so they are not paying $10 per hour, ;. they are going to the gym for less. Councilwoman Swarner: Do we keep a count of the number of people, answer no. WE have no way of counting people with four different entrances into the facility.

President Pro Tempore Monfor called for public comment, there was none. Councilman McComsey: Just a question, what is the overrun'on sealcoats. I thought this was a bid item. Public Works Director Kornelis: The bid is on the unit price. All costs were estimates. Councilwoman Swarner: What are you going to do about streets that do not have any rocks embedded in tar. There are streets down Sth and there are streets down Ash where the tar was not spread evenly. I was not aware of that. Councilwoman Swarner: The street sweeper came by yesterday. I would suggest you take a look. VOTE: Motion passed by Unanimous Consent (H-I)City Manager Brighton: We got a request from the chamber for the $25,000 that was appropriated. Charlie has submitted a memo explaining that we cut $3,000 from the Miscellaneous Account but did not indicate which item that $3,000 was to be cut from. It would appear that the possibility exists that it should have been cut from the $22,000 in Miscellaneous but I think we need direction. None of the other accounts are large enough to absorb a $3,000 cut. MOTION: Councilwoman Swarner moved to direct the Finance Director to pay the Chamber $25,000 and take it from the Miscellaneous Account, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie. VOTE: Motion passed by Unanimous Consent 3. Ordinance 1277-88: Amending KMC, Title 22, Extending Time Period for Payment of Notes - City Lands MOTION-: - -- Councilwoman Bailie moved for introduction of Ordinance 1277-88, seconded by Councilwoman O'Reilly. L �! F KENAI CITY COUNCIL ? AUGUST 3, 1988 PAGE 13 i �sss�s Councilwoman Bailie: The reason I ask that it be removed from the consent agenda is that it was asked to be placed on the consent agenda so that we could come up with some method whereby we could help individuals out there that had purchased land from the City and now with the economic times being what they are, it would help them with their payments rather than receiving the land back to the City. In the mean time since this was asked to be brought before us, I have heard of a method which some of the banks are using and x� perhaps we could consider a method along the same lines. They are t - lowering the interest charged on some of their notes, as low as 4% 4 to some and at the end of the years' time, they are going back and 4- --- - - -- reviewing the financial situation of the involved party and if things have improved in that year, then the additional interest is { taxed back on. In effect the interest is postponed for a time. Would it be possible for us to consider something along this line. As we discussed, 30 years lengthens the length of the note, it is much more costly, and does not do much to alleviate the amount due. The only ramifications I could see would be the amount of money that would be coming into the City due to the lowered interest rate. i Finance Director Brown: I would like to review this and report back. One area that concerns me is our inability and expertise to evaluate a client. Councilwoman Bailie volunteered to approach the banks for assistance. There are two things 1) we would keep the land in the private sector which is ultimately what we would like to do, 2) and eventually we would get our money. I Councilman McComsey: Being a business person, someone who would be paying for 20 or 30 years, would be paying three times the price of the property at the end. Is there not some way you could pay interest and put the principal back on the end of the payment. Finance Director Brown: We are working on something now where the , lower payments are now and balloon payments later. I will have a i report by August 17th meeting. 1 VOTE: Motion fails unanimously 4. ordinance 1278-88: Amending KMC, Title 1 - Kenai Bicentennial Commission Consent Agenda S. Ordinance 1279-88:--Increasing Rev/Appns - Federal Revenue ; - Sharing Fund by_$307,551 ? MOTION: Councilman McComsey moved for introduction of Ordinance 1279-88, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie. KENAI CITY COUNCIL , - -- ---' AUGUST 3, 1988 i PAGE 14 Councilwoman Swarner: Regarding the lawn mower and exercise equipment. Director McGillivray: There are no pictures available, however, the exercise equipment, the stair climber was approved at budget time and was put in revenue sharing and pictures were available then. It monitors the heart as far as exercise is concerned and is called a stair climber. It was taken from the budget and placed on revenue sharing. The mowing tractor is similar in size to the one we use for grass _ pickup. We have been using the tractor we purchased from Dewayne Craig three years ago and we have been having quite a bit of �•_:.; trouble with it. The shop foreman felt that if money was available it would be a good time to purchase a new tractor. The boom mounted mower mounts on a tractor and will be mounted on the Ford tractor that the Airport has and can be used for mowing hillsides, slopes, and ditches. This is an attachment to a mower. Councilwoman Swarner: When was the last time we purchased a new mowing tractor, answer we purchased a smaller one this year. Last _. year we purchased a 14-16 horse. We haven't purchased a larger tractor in about 5 years. Councilwoman Swarner: On the loader with the radio, is that replacing one that we have or is this an addition, answer from Public Works Director Kornelis, it is replacing the 966. We can't get any money from an auction for it so we will use it as a backup. The 966 is the hardest working piece of equipment we have. We plan on piggy backing a bid with University of Alaska Fairbanks. our original estimate will be down from $175,000 to $138,000. Councilman McComsey: Could you put a blade on this in the winter? Answer yes. Councilwoman Swarner: The hydraulic puller, is that supposed to help with outside charges? Answer yes. This was also an item that was in the budget then placed in revenue sharing. Councilwoman O'Reilly: On the oven at the Senior Center, is that a replacement? Answer no. It is a special one that does not require venting. Councilwoman Bailie: We had some comments from the -audience that - they are unable to hear us. I think it is very'frustrating to attend a meeting but cannot hear. We need to make an effort. The comment I would like to make regarding federal revenue sharing, I would like to make an addition for the Senior Center and it would be that of a computer. Right now the computer is a Personal one, that of the director. I would put a figure of ----- - around $3,000 on it. Director Porter: It should be IBM compatible. - r- _ _ f ;a fi KENAI CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 3, 1988 PAGE 15 City Manager Brighton: You want that added to the list? Answer yes. City Manager Brighton: In that case you probably want -to add an amendment to the memorandum from Howard Hackney and Denis Douglas. We need to commit $20,000 more than this list by September or what is not committed will revert back. What they are suggesting is a maintenance program for roofs. There isn't a year that goes by that we don't have a roof leak somewhere. Councilwoman Swarner: I would like to make some additions before the roof. I would like to add a Macintosh computer at the library. They have not had any federal revenue sharing funds for the last few times. Macintosh computer and printer would be approximately $2,000 but would not include programs. Councilwoman Swarner: Regarding the roof; on the flight service center, is there a leaking problem there now? Public Works Director Kornelis: there has been a problem in the past. We would like aluminum colored finish on this which is not to replace but to extend the life. Councilwoman Swarner: This is a new building which is why I have a hard time repairing a new roof. Public Works Director Kornelis: This was bid as it is now. Councilwoman O'Reilly: If we do this is the present warranty void? City Manager Brighton: What they mean is if we physically do the job, then it is void. Councilwoman Bailie: I was speaking with an individual with the Borough over the weekend and his comment was how much money they have saved by instituting a maintenance program on the roofs of various Borough buildings versus waiting until something went wrong. It is amazing how much they have saved. NOTION AMENDMENT: Councilwoman Bailie moved to add a computer for the Senior Center, seconded by Councilman McComsey. MOTION AMENDMENT: Councilman McComsey moved to include all of the roofs that Mr. Hackney has placed on the list, seconded by Councilwoman O'Reilly. Finance Director Brown: I will have a substitute ordinance at the August 17th meeting. Councilman McComsey: We have probably more compUtere in this library than anywhere else in the United States and I really don't feel they need another computer. I'm against this. They have three computers over there now. When they took us through the library we saw three computers there now. Linda McNutt: There is one main computer that runs the automation -system which is a Dynex. We have two personal computers, one in Emily's office and one in -the back -office that we use for accessing the data -base for cataloging. The other computer is an Apple that was donated several years ago that is accessible to the public. All other C 't ;y r- KENAI CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 3, 1988 PAGE 16 computer terminals are catalogue computers and the public can only access it in that manner. Councilman McComsey: what happened to the computers in the stalls. Linda McNutt; There are two IBM typewriters, one music listening station and one Apple. City Manager Brighton: The two computers that are retained for use by the staff, can you get software to permit those to do the same things that another computer would do. what is the purpose of the additional computer. Linda McNutt: It would be for public use only. The Apple is for public use. It can be used for any disk use including children's games. City Manager Brighton: we have retained two computers for employee use. How many employees do we have over there. Answer three. we also have a large volunteer staff.

Clerk Ruotsala said the ballot proposition must be in and approved by Council by August 17. The instructions must be.specific regarding functions. We need as much support as possible from Administration, including a secretary, attendance at meetings by City Manager Brighton & Public Works Director Kornelis, and a record of prior action by the City. She suggested; Duane Quellette - Eagle Rock Dale Sandahl - Thompson Park S/D Don St. John - VIP S/D Frank Getty - Candlelight Area Leon Quesnel - Woodland S/D Colleen Ward, Flo Mccollum, Rick Baldwin - ( -� McCollum Area She asked that they all be contacted to see if they are willing. Ron Malston is willing to serve, but will not be back till Aug. 17. She suggested Councilman Measles as Ad Hoc member. Council- woman O'Reilly asked, what will they come up with and will there be enough time? Council agreed to schedule the election to coincide with the Nov. 8 State and Federal election. i MOTION: Councilwoman Swarner moved, seconded by Councilwoman Bailie, to go ahead with the task force. Councilwoman Monfor said it should be developed without loaded questions and be a cross section. Councilwoman Bailie said this will come up again, it needs to be settled once and for all so Council will not be faced with this again. The committee could come up with suggestions to put on the ballot. Councilwoman O'Reill said the t k f a ill itit d ti y as orc w come up" recommen a ons - 1 regarding how this will be done. it will be a yes or no. Clerk Ruotsala asked if Council wanted this to be a Charter amendment or just a policy vote. Councilwoman Bailie replied, the committee will decide. Councilwoman Swarner said the task force should have an answer by the middle of Sept. Councilwoman Bailie suggested the task force elect their own chairman. VOTE: Vote passed unanimously by roll call vote. Councilwoman Bailie asked that this be set up as soon as possible. Clerk Ruotsala will handle it. [IN r 9, y KENAI CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 3, 1988 PAGE IS Councilman McComsey asked if the motion included the names recommended. Councilwoman Bailie replied, yes. Councilman McComsey noted he would like to add others. Councilwoman Monfor said it should be open to the public. A representative from the committee or Councilman Measles could give the report. Finance Director Brown asked, is the purpose of the task force to come up with fair wording on the ballot or their preference? Councilwoman Monfor replied, fair wording. Finance Director Brown said, Council is not asking them to come up with recommendations, this is not compatible. Councilwoman Bailie replied, they are coming to a decision regarding the task. It will be voted on by the group. Councilwoman O'Reilly said the job of the task force is -to come up with a fair way to pay for capital improvement projects. The wording for the ballot would be by Administration. Finance Director Brown added, a recommendation as to how the financing will take place. Council agreed to the statements. Councilwoman Monfor said someone will have to explain how this will he done, probably Administration. I ADMINISTRATION REPORTS 1. MUor None 2. City Manager City Manager Brighton: Passed out tonight was a copy of the Soldotna agenda, and in particular item 12-a: Authorization for-> City Manager to Host 1989 AML Conference in a Joint Venture with the City of Kenai and Kenai Peninsula Borough. They indicate that Soldotna's share of expenses would be $10,000. The Borough Mayor has agreed to $10,000 and if Kenai wants to participate, we will have to commit $10,000. This is a program that has been put together on what each communities responsibilities are going to be. We need to respond back as soon as possible. I believe the Board is meeting August 15th and I will need some direction by that time. Councilwoman Swarner: Did you check into using school facilities here in Kenai? Answer no. City Manager Brighton: In the letter provided, City Manager Underkofler has indicated he contacted the Kenai High School and classrooms are available. 'Councilwoman Swarner: I would suggest they seriously consider using our local schools here and the motels that are available here. Councilman McComsey: I understand that this is going to take all the facilities available as it is. Councilwoman Swarner: I am talking about the reception. Councilwoman Bailie: I would concur with Councilwoman Swarner. I don't believe the Sports Center lends itself well to this type -of - -- - - - - - convention. As delegates you know you like to go from one to the other and if we're looking to having to space this out to various L r- + (+ i. KENAI CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 3, 1988 PAGE 19 facilities, that in itself is going to be cumbersome. I think if we were to contact the Borough and ask for the availability of the Kenai Elementary we would have the gymnasium that could be used for the afternoon luncheon that could be catered; the school rooms that would be more than adequate for the meetings; and the Sport Arena could be used for the final banquet. This way the two communities would join together in having the conference. If we are gong to do it we need to keep in mind the numbers of rooms that are needed for this conference and transportation. City Manager Brighton: Perhaps the President Pro Tempore would like to appoint two members from the Council to sit down with the City Manager of Soldotna and work out these arrangements. I am sure that there will be people with conflicting ideas from both communities. Councilwoman Bailie: I don't feel that is necessary. The Council has the right to huggest options and the City Manager can take it from there. Councilwoman Swarner: Did you help make this list? Answer no. Council agreed Bill would handle. Councilman McComsey: If those involved don't listen to Bill does he have authority to go ahead and cancel? Even if they are not going to hold in Kenai are we going to cancel? If they say no, we should have an option. Councilwoman Bailie: I certainly want AML to come here but at the same time I cannot see the City of Kenai sitting back and not making any suggestions to try to encourage the bulk of those people to be meeting in our community. We have a responsibility to our business people. If the bulk of the convention is being held in the Soldotna Sports Arena our business people are not going to be getting the lion's share and I see nothing wrong in trying to go in an negotiate with the City of Soldotna and try to get the bulk here. We have double the population the City of Soldotna does. Councilman McComsey: I agree. If all three put in $10,000 then they are going to be pushing as hard as we are and we are going to have to negotiate. Councilwoman Bailie: The Sports Arena is ideal for the large banquet, but they don't have the various meeting rooms for this type of group. Councilwoman Swarner: I would suggest we decrease the amount if that is the case. Councilwoman O'Reilly: Do you know precisely who came up with this list? City Manager Brighton: I believe the City Manager did most of the work after consulting with Betty Glick and others: -He Bent us an -original basic proposal and this is in the form in which it needs to be submitted to the AML Board for them to -either- acceptor -reject. Itanswersall the questions that they say have to be answered in order to be considered for location. Councilwoman O'Reilly: What is the time frame. City Manager Brighton: I believe they are meeting on August 15th. L *— _ a M KENAI CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 3, 1988 PAGE 20 Councilwoman O'Reilly: I don't think it's unreasonable for us to request a meeting of two city managers and what ever his counterpart may be called at the Borough to negotiate. City Manager Brighton: The only thing that indicates that there may be a major siting over in Soldtona as opposed to Kenai is the fact they were intending to use the Central Peninsula Sports Center as the main place while providing other meeting and reception rooms at the Kenai Peninsula Borough, and other rooms in Soldoona and Kenai and at a later date work out the rooms as the various subjects dictate. Transportation would be provided by the host communities and this is above the $10,000 cost. Councilwoman O'Reilly: This question is probably premature, but who is going to work out the detailed planting? City Manager Brighton: The letter indicates that the city managers of both cities and a Borough representative. Councilman McComsey: Could we ask the Borough to include the Kenai Elementary building in the list? ' President Pro Tempore Monfor: I'm sure we could, but I think everyone is getting excited prematurely. We need to see first if they approve it and we can work out the fine print afterwards. There are a lot of things that can happen between now and November 1989 and I feel that just getting it to AML is a major hurdle we have to over come before we consider anything else. We as citizens have some legitimate concerns. The Kenai Elementary and the Merit Inn does seem to be the perfect places to hold the bulk, but that needs to be determined because we don't know the amount of rooms available. No one knows that by next year there won't be more space available. Councilwoman O'Reilly: Quote from letter to Heather Flynn speaks of "Kenai Peninsula Borough, in a joint venture" and I think they should be the primary organizers, not the managers of either of the two cities. City Manager Brighton: I would agree with that. President Pro Tempore Monfor: The other point I want to make is, if these people are coming to either one of our cities they are going to spend the money here. You can always spend one day in one town and one in the other. In four days they will be back and forth several times. We will just have to ensure more buses. Councilwoman Swarner: I like the idea of letting the Borough be the contact person, the thing is to get this in process. President Pro Tempore Monfor: The City Manager will handle. 2. City Manager Brighton: The Council needs to take a look at a letter that was distributed at the last Council meeting about land transaction - to come up with some decision on whether or not relief ought to be granted to the-Malston/Braun real-estate- - - - purchase from the City. ff KFNAI CITY COUNCIL i AUGUST 3, 1988 t PAGE, 21 II . City Attorney Rogers: I received a letter from the BIA yesterday, and they want to meet the latter part of this month regarding that situation. Insofar as the Council is concerned, in view of BIA's insistence that we have no authority to foreclose on the property r for assessments. It is the prerogative of the Council, if you want to accommodate those people, take the property back and refund the - " money, but that's a policy decision. We would pursue litigation even if we had the property back. I'm working my way up the 'S ... ladder with BIA and their position has not changed. I assume at some point they will get legal staff. They have given me no new _."...:. :.... authority to make me change my mind. We have the right to do what ' we have to do. in pursuing the course we are pursuing for a larger cause, so to speak, because we have other lands that may be _ 'a affected, certainly when you're talking about foreclosure for assessments and such we want to be able to treat all lands the same. We are dragging others into the litigation that don't want to be there because they purchased property from the City, even though we're giving Quit Claim we never warranted we owned anything in the first place. If Council desires to rescind that transaction and put us back to ground zero then that's obviously a political decision that 1. doesn't involve a legal assessment. MOTION: Councilwoman Bailie moved to accommodate their request and at the 2 same time not only consider refund of the purchase price but also any taxes that may have been paid on that particular piece of property, seconded by Councilwoman O'Reilly Councilwoman Bailie: Seeing as how we really didn't have the right in the first place to sell a piece of property ... City Attorney Rogers: Except that we didn't have the right to sell it, that's why we used a Quit Claim Deed. i City Manager Brighton: From an equity standpoint instead of legal terms - people approached us to buy property, they assumed that when we sell them property they are going to get usable title. We assumed we were giving a title. They had a right to feel they were paying a down payment and made payments of property they thought they could utilize. After they got the property, it was determined that there was a clouded title, they're in court, they've paid their money, they continue to pay their money on a monthly basis and they can't do anything with the property. Under that set of circumstances it would seem only fair in equity that we didn't give them anything, we ought not take their money. We ought to give their money back and assume whatever position we had with that property prior to the sale. - VOTB:--- -- - - Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote A W1 KENAI CITY COUNCIL - - - AUGUST 3, 1988 PAGE 22 3.

In the interest of our local economy it is important that we provide adequate facilities for our visitors. Facilities that will invite these travelers to stay one or several days longer than they planned, Just because the facilities make their stay a delightful one. We count our tourism industry as a significant portion of our economy base and for now and the future we must provide the facilities tourists need. The Foster RV Park is an outstanding example of this type of facility. It will provide an answer to a serious problem we have with RV operators and will attract more operators of RV to our area for longer periods of stay. It seems to me that we as a community should applaud the efforts of the Fosters in making this contribution to our community and bend over backwards to assure that they are allowed to develop the area as quickly as possible. I would urge you to approve the park as an asset to the city of Kenai because (1) it would fill a need and answer a problem we have in the greater Kenai area, (2) it would be compatible with the land use of that area for the past many years and (3) it would attract new RV operators and foster longer stays in the (treater Kenai area.

I have in the past several years been a resident of Kenai and noticed a need for an RV park locally. This past summer my family had guests up from the states. These people ended up staying in a field next to our home. I know that they would have preferred and enjoyed an RV park like the one planned by the Poster's. The RV park would be a convenient asset to the tourists, residents and guests of the Kenai area, one that I would highly recommend. Thank you for your consideration.

S F. „f. r- F-/ �„��t•t 2s�s G� IwoAugust 8, 1988 John Williams , Kenai City Mayor Dear Mr Williams, I'm writing you to express my support for the proposed Foster RV park to be located in the'Beaver loop area. I have two quick points to forward on it's behalf. As a long-term resident of Alaska and a resident of the city of Kenai for the past several years, I've seen the need for a clean,well managed RV park grow with each passing year, First, you must as a resident of Kenai, and as I do, see the growing numbers of RV's parked in our shopping malls, city parks and empty lots every year. These people are just looking for a nice, secure place to stay. Just think about all the future business Kenai could see from the friends of these present tourists if left with a good impression. Secondly, if you have relatives that drive up to visit you as I have, you must realize it is hard, (almost embarrassing) to have them stay in Soldotna because Kenai doesn't have an RV park located in the City limits, that is anything more than a parking lot. The Beaver loop area seems ideally suited for the type of park planned by the Fosters. I can't imagine a well groomed RV park with a stocked lake and lit spaces would do anything but help the+city and leave tourists with one more positive impression of our great city. Once again, I urge you to do everything in your power to see this park gets the city's approval immediatly.

This -needs--to be -someone who is authorized to act on behalf of your municipalities and to make decisions involving your resources, e.g., the *uee-of__Alaskaland, .arrangements -for . the host city reception, and the provision of transportation for mem aR OI THE NATIONAL. LL 0UE OR CITIES AND THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OR COUNTIgQ j ■. f N r- Fairbanks Mayors May 10, 1988 • Page 2 I conference delegates. We don't anticipate any problems with continuity of leadership, but since the conference comes right after the municipal elections we would appreciate knowing that the liaison person will have the full backing of the municipalities involved during any transition period. in the past we have had some difficulties because of transitions, and we hope to avoid a similar situation in Fairbanks. Would you please let us know as soon as possible who we should consider the direct liaison for the conference so that we can begin to work on arrangements. i have attached another copy of the list entitled "Host requirements for the Alaska Municipal League Annual Conference" that outlines what the host municipality is expected to provide, and I -will discuss each point in move detail below to help you and your staff prepare to assist the League with this major undertaking. 1. AML Membership— No problem. 2. Facilities - Although the official conference is November 16-19, as you know associated activities and meetings (association meetings, training sessions, etc.) will occur from Sunday, November 13, through Saturday, November 20. Facilities needed for this period include hotel rooms,, meeting rooms, transportation, and support services. 3. Hotel Rooms - It does not appear* that there will be a problem with hotel rooms. AML has finally received bids from seven Fairbanks hotels and is arranging for blocks of rooms to be held for conference participants. The Westmark Fairbanks will be serving as the headquarters hotel, and Sophia's Station, The Captain Bartlett Inn, The polaris, The Great Land, Super 6-Fairbanks, and Wedgewood Manor will be serving as supplemental facilities. We will let you know if we run into trouble with hotel accomodations. AML will handle all negotiations and ail room blocks and function reservations with the hotels. As usual, individual delegates will be responsible for making their own hotel reservations. All requests for meeting rooms, function scheduling, etc. should come through the AML. 4. Transportation - Transportation will be of the utmost importance for this meeting since the hotels and the conference center are located quite far apart. You will be responsible for providing transportation from designated conference hotels to the meeting areas during the pre -conference and conference periods. In the past that has been provided using Borough buses. S. Meeting Space - It is my understanding that you have reserved Alaskaland for the AML. conference,- and. .I have lsade.. initial arrangements based on that understanding (see letter attached). Insofar as possible, we plan to conduct pre -conference activities at the hotels and to open the formal conference at Alaskaland with an exhibitors' reception on Tuesday evening, November IS. We may also want to consider using city or borough meeting rooms or the facilities of the library for pre -conference sessions if they are available. 7 I r� t isbanks Mayors May 10, 1988 rage 3 f� We plan to open the exhibit area At Alaskaland on Tuesday so that participants will have an opportunity to view the exhibits before the conference officially gets underway. Exhibitors will need to have access to Alaskaland on Tuesday afternoon to set up their displays. The facilities at Alaskaland, including tables, chairs, podiums, and sound systems, are to be provided "at no cost to the League." One of the rooms will have to set aside for an on -site AML staff office and we will have to be able to lock it for security reasons. We would also like to have a room available to use for a delegate office. 6. saneluet Facilities - The annual banquet will probably be held at the Westmark Fairbanks, and conference luncheons will be held at Alaskaland. AML staff will be responsibile for negotiating for and selecting meals. We need information -about possible caterers for meals, coffee, and other functions at Alaskaland. 7. a. You are responsible for providing one e_person to work with AML' staff from Tuesday, November 16, through the and of the conference (either Friday night or Saturday night# the actual schedule is yet to be determined). The same person should be assigned for the entire time to ensure continuity in conference operations. Aa i b. You are responsible for providing three people to stuff packets Monday afternoon (we will provide the packets). ne udeduded in the packets will be the AML program and other conference materials as well as whatever Fairbanks- material, you wish (e.g., maps, tourist information, invitations, gifts, etc. - all optional) to go in the packets. You will be' responsible for assembling all the Fairbanks materials to be placed in the conference packets. C. In addition, we will need staff to help with registration, as follows$ - one person Tuesday afternoon; - two people all day Wednesdays - one person Thursday; and - one person Friday. Other host municipalities have used staff, community volunteers, senior citizens, and visitor and convention center staff. It is much more convenient and efficient if each person stays at least one full day. d. w The host municipalities will need to provide help with the policy statement and resolutions. Before the conference, we _need- someone- to - put - the draft policy statement and resolutions on available and accessible word processing equipment. The draft policy statement will be available some time in September or October -- in hard copy or on IBM Displaywriter diskette or PC diskette (Displaywrite 3) -- for you to put on your machine. "I ■ N t " a I •. 11 Y � i. r 0 r r May 10, 1998- Page 4 I Thursday afternoon and evening and Friday of the conference, at least two staff persons will be needed to incorporate changes made during the policy section and resolutions committee meetings. Once the documents are finalized, 350 copies of the Policy Statement and Resolutions will need to be printed for the Friday business meeting, for distribution by noon on Friday. The cost of printing these documents is also your responsibility. These tasks involve a lot of work and, possibly, late hours, and it is imperative that staff members assigned to them are competent, skilled on the equipment being used, available to work until the job is completed, and flexible. S. Luipment - We will needs a. Two (2) simple correcting typewriters (e.g., IBM Selectrie type, something -that will easy for anyone to use without reading a manual). These are used in the on -site staff office for typing letters, resolutions, and name tags. We will also need either a large -type typewriter for the registration area or another correcting typewriter. b. One (1) small copy machine (with legal -sine and letter -site paper trayss uncomplicateds automatic feed and collating capabilities preferred)s c. Three portable tape recorders d. One portable bulletin board for use as message boards e. Telephones for the registration area and offices and E. An overhead projector, carousel slide projector, and/or 16mm movie projector available if needed for programs g. One picture screen available if needed for programs h. Two VCRs and monitors. - We must have this equipment at Alaskaland and in operating condition by noon on Tuesday, November 15. In past years, IBM, Xerox, and/or an office supply store have loaned office equipment in exchange for publicity in the program. 9. Ceremonies and Entertainment - We will need your assistance in lining up-1 a* a flag ceremony at the opening sessions b. people to give invocations at the meal functionsi and, e* entertainment at various functions (musicians, bands, dancers, thespians, etc.)'. 6 i III r-- rairbanks Mayors May 10, 1988 Page S AML will handle booking the entertainment, but help and suggestions 'of local talent, especially school bands, are welcomed. 10. Conference program - The host municipalities are responsible for having the conference program typeset and printed. Sometimes host k municipalities sell advertising to defray costal sometimes they just • pay the whole cost. It is your choice, as are the design of the cover, paper stock, color, etc. We provide the program text, except for the mayors' welcome page. Other host municipalities have included a city map. in the program, but this can .also be a packet stuffer (see 6b) to reduce the costs of the typeset program. We will need at least 600 copies of the proq-ram. We will need to know our - _-- -- cutoff date (negotiate as late as possible with the printer) to. • provide you with final copy. For the past three -years, host municipalities have also had 300-400 A Y 6A ti. • i. i i j tt i 1 c� is C. mini -programs (just a schedule, with no details) printed and made available at the hotels for those attending pre -conference activities. These have been well received. . I have included copies' of last year's program and mini program for your information. . it. Photos of Fairbanks - We need promotional pictures of Fairbanks and Alaskaland (black and white preferred) to ties in our Newsletter advertising, as soon as possible. 11. Welcomin Reception - The host municipality sponsors .a welcoming reception, traditionally on the opening night (Wednesday). rood, beverages, and entertainment are all your choice. , I hope this helps as far as what is expected of the host municipalities. To summarize, at a minimum we need the following immediately: name of liaison, a firm commitment to provide the, facilities of Alaskaland, Pictures of Fairbanks and Alaskaland, and information on catering firms that serve Alaskaland. Please contact me to begin the coordination process, and please let me know if you have any questions. We look forward to working with you, the borough assembly, the city councils, and the staff to make the 1988 Local Government Conference in Fairbanks the biggest and best ever. Thanks.

Brown, Finance Director EqQ DATE: WAS SUBJECT: Land Sale Notes/Payments The Council asked me to consider various options that could be used to reduce payments due to the City on land sale notes. At the last Council meeting, we discussed extending the payment term from 20 years to 30 years. On a representative $100,000 note at 10% interest, monthly payments on a normal 20 year note are $965.02; at 30 years they are $877.57. The monthly payment is reduced $87.45 (9.06%). Council decided that this small reduction would not benefit the borrower when considered with the additional interest that would be paid over the extra 10 years. One member of Council suggested perhaps lowering the interest rate for a time for those borrowers that are unable to meet their obligations. After several years, we would then review the borrower's financial abilities and consider raising the rate back to 10% along with a charge for the lost interest. I see three potential problems with this option: 1) The City, being a public entity, would have to attempt to give equal treatment to all the borrowers. This means that either we offer the same option to everyone, whether they are.having financial difficulties or not, or we develop specific criteria to determine financial need. If we offer this to everyone, the Administration may be overwhelmed with requests, even by people who don't need the help. On the other hand, the Administration may not be equipped to develop criteria to judge financial need. 2) The City does not have staff personnel with the ability to analyse financial statements (given the criteria presumably established above). We are not a loan department and do not have the required expertise. 3) The "lost interest" calculation, if charged after the borrower's financial affairs were in order, would require keeping two sets of books. One at the lower rate and one for "what if" the rate had been 10%. This could become burdensome and quite complicated. Again, we have no loan department. This is why we have contracted with a bank for collection agreements on all notes. Another possibility is to leave the interest rate at 10%, reduce the payments for several years, then increase them to get a 20 year, payoff. Consider the following examples, all of which are 10% with a 20 year -payoff on a-$100,000 note: - M i Page 2 Total Monthly Interest Payment Paid Normal schedule $ 965.02 $131,604.80 1/2 Normal payment lot 10 yrs: First 10 years 482.51 Last 10 years 2,271.20 230,445.20 3/4 Normal payment lot 10 yrs: First 10 years 723.77 - Last 10 years 1,618.10 181,024.40 1/2 Normal payment lot 5 yrs: First 5 years 462.51 Last 15 years 1,366.54 174,927.80 3/4 Normal payment lot 5 yrs: First 5 years 723.77 Last 15 years 1,165.78 153,266.60 The problem with all these alternatives is that any benefit we give to the borrower today is a penalty tomorrow. In the examples given it takes a monthly payment of $833.33 per month just to cover the interest. Anything below that results in unpaid interest that is added to the note. This causes the payments to balloon in the later years. In either of the two examples where we lower the payments for 10 years, the second 10 year period results in such large payments that I think we may be putting the borrower in a worse position in 10 years than he's in now. Either of the 5 year adjustment options aren't too bad. For instance, the last example would lower the normal payment by 25% for the first 5 years, then increase the normal payment 21% for the last 15 years, resulting in $21,661.80 additional interest. However, I fail to see enough benefit in any of these examples to warrant making them available to the borrowers. The only other option that comes to mind would be low payments now with a balloon in 5 years to catch up. Using the same $100,000 note, we get: ""I f I 1 Page 3 1) 1/2 payment for 5 years:Payment i for 60 months $ 482.51 Balloon on 61st payment 38,640.83Payments 1_0 62 through 240 965.02 Total interest paid 140,330.01 { 2) 3/4 payment for 5 years: Payment for 60 months $ 723.77 - Balloon on 61st payment 19,802.68 Payments 62 through 240 965.02 - y Total interest paid 235,967.46 I don't look too favorably at these options because I'm skeptical of _ the borrower's ability to come up with the balloon payment in 5 years. In summary, I can think of no alternatives that are simple, can be handled in-house with City staff, and give significant short-term benefits to the borrower without long-term entrapments. .4 A. 1A I.1. r..._ i GOP 1 MEMO TO: Kenai City Council FROM: Charles A. Brown, Finance DirectWeOR DATE: August 10, 1988 SUBJECT: Rent at Golf Course, 2nd 9 holes As directed by Council at the August 3, ON Council meeting, I have researched the question of when the first year's rent should begin on the 2nd 9 holes of the golf course. First, let me say that after my initial conversation with Mr. Morgan, I was convinced that he was going to open the 2nd 9 holes this calendar. year. Attached is a memo from Sandy Parnell, who eat in on the conversation. Her recollection is identical to mine, that he was going to open the 2nd 9 holes and had agreed to pay the $SOO.00. I was very surprised at his comments to the contxary at the -last Council meeting. Attached is the relevant page from the lease for the 2nd 9 holes. I have marked pertinent sections for you. Let me review them with you: 1) The annual rent for the "first operating season" is SS00.00. 2) "Operating season shall mean the period of time in any calendar year commencing on the date when LESSEE shall open its facilities..." 3) A further indication of which year was intended to be the "first operation season" is disclosed by the third paragraph on this page, which reads "For the initial two years of operation, commencing with the 1988 season, green fees...." To me, the above three points, along with Mr. Morgan's statement to me that he must open the 2nd 9 holes this year for tax purposes, made clear that he owed the first rent ($500.00) this year. Council asked Mr. Morgan if he would write to me stating that he will not open the 2nd 9 holes this year. He said he would write such a statement. As of today's date, he has not. F11 MEMO TO: Morgan/Golf Course Lease Filet FROM: Sandy Parnell, Accountant.4W DATE: 8/4/88 SUBJECTS Rent for second 9-holes of golf course The day Mr. Morgan came into the office to talk to Charlie in reference to our billing him for the back 9 hole golf course, I was asked by Charlie to participate in the discussion. Mr. Morgan stated that he didn't think he owed for the lease and would Like for Charlie to Interpret the lease document for him. My recollection of the discussion was that Charlie told him (after reviewing the lease) that if he opened the baft 9 hole golf course to the public, then he would owe the lease #ayment. Charlie'asked*him if he would like the legal department to look at the lease document and he said no, he would agree to whatever Charlie decided. Hr. Morgan stated that he had to open the course up for tax purposes and Charlie told him "even if you open it up for only one day, you would owe the entire lease amount". When Mr. Morgan left the office that day,, it was my impression that he was in agreement with Charlie's decision and a check would be forthcoming. C; MI *IV NtO,"tr at11 OF KENAI o ,0„0 uw.

She felt the current procedure of a candidate running for the -office rather than against another candidate or incumbent was preferable and more in the interests of the children the board serves. In any event, she felt the voters should be able to decide whether to go to districting. John Kistler, Soldotna, spoke in favor of the ordinance or a similar one in the irection of establishing districts for the school board members so that each area of the borough can be represented.

He stated at recent hearings, an ADEC representative stated local land use regulations. his office would give consideration to but there are none. He hoped this ordinance would be a place to - start and as information is gathered, could be amended. He believed a Waste Disposal Coon. comprised of apppointees from the cities. an ` industry expert and one from CIAA in addition to the Mayor's balance.

If `. that is done, the assembly will be notified that they will have to meet as a Board of Adjustment. He believed the central question is how to rewrite the borough ordinances so the public interest can be protected in situations such as this siting. The assembly as the policy maker, has never given the Planning Commission guidelines as to determine what is appropriate land use. Me. Schmidt stated in resjunse, todiscussion on who the parties involved in a Board of Adstment would be. that it would be an a ppeal from a decision of te Planning Cmen. so it would be Marathon Oil and the Planning Cmen., supporting their findings. ORD. 87-27(REVISED) WAS SET FOR HEARING BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.

Mr. Carey stated the Finance Cmte. supported the ordinance by a 3-2 vote. Mrs. McGahan stated the Public Works Cmte. had unanimous support for the ordinance. John Williams, Mayor of City of Kenai, reported the ordinance was introduced at his request stated he was available to answer any questions. Mayor Gilman referred to a backup memo in the desk packet which explained quantities of sand. requirements for cover when the landfill is closed out, and other particulars. Mr. brown supported the ordinance as a moneyeaver to the taxpayers. Mr. O'Connell objected to paying the City of Kenai $85,000 for moving their sand to benefit their dock. He noted the landfill benefits city residents as well as others. He believed the landfill should be used until capacity is reached. Mr. Skogstad believed there should be monetary value to the City receiving the sand for their use elsewhere. He stated there should be additional plans and commitments as to transporting the sand prior to enactment. Mrs. McGahan referred to memos noting previous agreements to close the landfill which have been extended while various plane for alternatives were explored. She felt this was a mutual benefit situation. Mrs. Walla felt the Borough's reluctance to regulate land and plan properly were to blame for the bind it was in with the landfill.

Until such time as the school district can confirm the designation is still active she wished to postpone the resolution. Mr, Skogstad reported the Local Affairs Cmts. also discussed the resolutions with similar concerns as to whether that land could be reclaimed in future years if it is classified recreation at this time. Mayor Gilman reported the borough accepted on behalf of the recreation service area a grant for $500,000 to build trails which are already contracted out. The rant states the land must be set aside for purposes of the project. Apparently although some designation -as a- school site took place; formal classification was not accomplished and so appeared to be available.

Mr. McLane reported the Public Works Cmte. discussed the resolution and the possibility of the decision of the Planning Commission being appealed, in which case the Assembly would sit as a Board of Adjust- ment. They had no recommendation. Mike Delbaum, Miller Loop, urged the Assembly to support the re— solue o- on- -le reported the previous evening's meeting with ADEC and representatives of Marathon Oil had produced many questions but no real answers. He was concerned about trucks transporting contamina- ted material from the Poppyy Lane site to Nikiski and what actually was dumped at that site. He felt the plan for recognizing leakage into the aquifer was inadequate and allows 12 months to decide how to recover. He felt the public needed to be informed and involved in locating a site for disposal of such wastes. Glen Trimmer, Nikiski, wished to be on record as supporting the reso�on' John Kistler, Soldotna, spoke against the resolution. stating the wastes have to go somewhere. and unless people cases buying they products that have hazardous wastes as a byproduct, the planned solution is preferable to dumping on an unauthorized site. Vicki Du an, Nikiski, expressed concerns on property values and other questions unresolved. She wished to support the resolution. Blake Johnson, Nikiski. made reference to unauthorized dumping. toting that as happened and citizens need to give the matter of a proper location the necessary time and attention. Mr. McLane gave notice his company has a subcontract with Marathon Oil for site work at Poppy Lane and possibly Nikiski and he would have a conflict of interest. Aset. Atty. Schmidt stated her belief the resolution was premature and should be tabled until the period of time for the appeal process has expired. Consideration and discussion of this matter, should Marathon appeal would have a negative effect on the Board of Adjustment process. ASSEMBLYMEMBER SKOGSTAD MOVED TO TABLE RES. 88-66 AMD THE MOTION WAS APPROVED BY A VOTE OF 11 YES TO 2 NO (Carey and McGahan). (d) Res. 88-67 "Requesting Swires Road Be Paved from the pur g way to Mountain View Elementary School" (Glick) ASSEMBLYMEMBER GLICK MOVED THE ADOPTION OF RES. 88-67. Mr. Carey reported the Finance Cmte. considered the resolution and voted 2-3 against oupport. John Williams, Mayor, City of Kenai, reported the City is lining up paving contracts -in the area and Swires Rd. has been recommended for paving. He stated the road would not need paving if the school had C -8- J r- KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH ASSEMBLY REGULAR MEETING OF JULY 19, 1988 not been located there and therefore they felt the Borough should provide a portion if not all of the funding for that paving. He believed bond funds left from construction of the school could be used for access to it if the project has not been entirely closed down. He reported the city had already installed lighting at the intersection in the interests of safety. An assessment district would not be considered because the largest portion of the assessment would be borne by one property owner. Mrs. Glick reported it had been her understanding that the school construction project had not been closed out and that there was $792,000 of unexpended bond funds in that account. In Finance Cmte. they were advised because paving of the portion of the road the borough built was not included in the original project it might have to go back to Dept, of Education for authorisation to spend the funds this way. She reported before the school was built these was only a small trail that extended from the intersection to the woods. Approximately 800 feet of road was built to access the school. Access was paved into the Nikiski and Skyview High Schools as well as to the Homer High School. where a second access road is being requested by the City of Homer. Since left over bond funds are being identified to build the Seward Elementary school she did not want to give the impression she was against that project as she supports it. Mayor Gilman was asked whether the Mt. Redoubt School project had been closed out and he stated the final completion has been signed and remaining funds are ready to be transferred. He had asked the bond attorney if bond funds could be used to built city streets and he was sure DOE would have to Siva permission. About $200,000 was TheRant to extend the road, water and sewer at the request of the City. school district was opposed to paving the road. The only authority the borough has for building roads is through the Roads and Trails Program and home rule cities have been specifically excluded from that allotment as they get funding directly from the state. Mr. McLane pointed out the Borough receives only $108,000 in LSRST funds for boroughwide use and there are other schools on gravel roads where the visibility and other related problems are just as severe. Mayor Gilman stated the borough has never refused to participate in an LID but it has refused to build a roads the road past Soldotna High School. The City of Soldotna paved it with LSR&T funds and a direct grant from the Legislature. Mayor Williams again sketched the situation of the road and surrounding property and why it was impractical to form and LID. He stated the City was committed to paving the street with the contractor and it would go forward whether or not the borough participated in the funding.

MAYOR'S REPORT Mayor Gilman reported receipt of notification there would be a suit in an attempt for West Cook Inlet Contractors to recover overhead and profit from the Borough pertaining to the bid for construction of the Beluga Landfill. Q. OTHER BUSINESS R. ASSEMBLY AND MAYOR'S COMMENTS Mr. Brown announced he would be introducing an ordinance to require ADEC to send notification of waste disposal applications to the assembly. He stated they are required to publish notice of the applicatione but the right to request a hearing is only provided the local governing body. He requested if the Mayor receives notifica- tion in the meantime he would report it to the assembly. Mr. McLane apologized for missing a portion of the meeting due to personal business. Mr. Hodgins expressed appreciation for the manner in which Planning Commission Chairman Denbrock conducted the meeting in Nikiski on the waste site issue. He expressed congratulations to Kate and Doyle Jowere, pioneer business people on their 50th anniversary. He requested consideration of providing handicap access to the front of the building. He believed the Public Works Cmte. would be the appropriate body to help identify a site for oil waste materials. Mr. Skogetad reported the Village of Hope celebration of the 100th anniversary of discovery of gold was celebrated by over 800 people. Mrs. McGahan expressed appreciation for the Planning Commission's decision concerning the waste site and hoped there would not be an appeal. She suggested perhaps the Assembly could meet in Nikiski for the August 16 meeting. Pros. Sewall stated he was considering such a: move. Mr. Nash expressed concern with the overtime wages allocated in grant ordinances as it seemed preferable to hire temporary personnel rather than paying overtime. Mrs. Valli spoke for giving the Planning Commission some guidelines for long term planning. Mrs. Moock congratulated the "Big League Boys" for winning the first districtwide tournament and announced several activities upcoming with the Soldotna Days celebration.

J. BRIGHTON, CITY MANAGER FROM: KEITH KORNELIS, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS DATE: AUGUST 10, 1988 SUBJECT: CITY BANNERS FOR: COUNCIL INFORMATION, AUGUST 17, 1988 At the City Council meeting of August 3, 1988 a Councilwoman Mated that she understood there was misunderstanding as to which department was to take care of the banners along the Spur Highway. She went on to say that there was a problem with the banners bunching up because of the wind. You stated that the Public Works Department would be the logical department to handle this problem. With that statement I assumed you want me to take over the handling of the City banners. Please let me know if I am mistaken. Up to this point I have tried to stay out of the banner business since it was another department's project and everything that was done concerning the banners required expenditures of that other department's funds. Because the City of Kenai does not have any equipment capable of reaching the 20' height required for the installation of the banners, the Beautification budget paid for Airtek to install and take down and put back up the banners throughout the City. Beautification also paid for the banners, shipping and repair or other work that was necessary concerning the banners. Even though I do not have the authority to sign for expenditure to Beautification budgeted funds, I will do so in order to try to expedite the solution to the problems concerning these banners. In all probability, the Finance Department will request that the Beautification purchase orders be signed either by Janet Loper, Kayo, or yourself, but then again, maybe they'll let my signature suffice, since they know that the banners are a priority of the Council. Janet Loper, Administrative Assistant to the Beautification Committee has answered many questions I had regarding what was done in the past concerning the banners-. With -her help I now know who we purchased the banners from, who has been handling the -installation and--repairs-on-the banners i the --contact persons and - who she has been dealing with concerning the banners when she shipped the banners back to High Flying for repair work, etc. with her help I believe I am now well versed in the past history of the ! banners that the City of Kenai presently possesses. L 7 ■ "rye, f. j.. '1 5' I have taken steps to take care of the banner problems in the following manner: 1. AIRTSK will take down all the banners that are presently up and deliver them to the City of Kenai so that they can be worked on. Z. TACKs AND RAGS for other firm) will: A. Thoroughly go over all the banners to make sure that they are sturdy and properly sewed together, B. Reinforce the grommets on the banner so they will not be torn out in the future, C. Heavily sew the ends of the banners so that they will not give way or let the metal rod push through the banner ends, D. Cut small holes and install reinforcing around the holes on the end of the banner where the end of the rod is so that a electrical tie can be used to fasten that end of the banner tightly to the bracket rod. This hole will be large enough to accept a stainless steel hose clamp should the electrical tie rods not be sufficient. 3. AIRTEK will: A. Tighten down heavily on the banding that holds the brackets to the light poles or replace the banding with a stainless steel hose clamp and tighten down hard so that the bracket will not turn on the light pole in the wind. B. Reinstall the banners properly making sure that the plastic ends are installed on the bracket rods, C. Reinstall the banners on the bracket rods making sure that the electrical ties are tight in the grommet holding the banners toward the light pole. D. Install electrical ties through the new small hole in the banner which is located near the end of the bracket rod and tighten down hard to help hold the banner tight to the banner rod. If it appears that the electrical tie rod will not hold the banner tight enough to the rod to prevent it from moving in the wind, then the electrical tie will be replaced with a stainless steel hose clamp. It is my opinion that if the above items are done properly, we should not have any more problems with the banners being bunched up or turned in the wind. Unless I am directed otherwise I plan �. on pursuing the above items as quickly as possible. RK/kh DEFT\PWDIR\BANNERS.MEM L '-.71 t 7] 6 'r ._ { Its 71 _. _ _ r• �lr I'.

The Executive Director would coordinate a promotional plan for the Bicentennial Cele- bration along with the solicitation of organizations to select Kenai as their site for their meetings and/or conventions. The priorities of the Board of Directors and the Executive Director would be: (1) the coordination and development of the upcoming Bicentennial Celebration (1791-1991); (2) the solicitation of conventions and meetings to the City of Kenai; and (3) the promotion of the City of Kenai, in coordination with the City of Kenai and the Kenai Chamber of Commerce. The Board of Directors and the Executive Director would also work diligently to secure and obtain long-term funding for the Visitors & Convention Bureau that would allow for future promotion and development of the tourism industry after the culmination of the Bicentennial celebration. However, in order to assure that the Bicentennial celebration would be successful and of great pride to our community and to our citizens, we would request a commit- ment from the City of Kenai of its on -going participation in funding for the Visitors & Convention Bureau, at least through June 30, 1991. After review of this material, we respectfully request a work session be scheduled with the members of Council and representatives of the Visitors & Convention Bureau, at your earliest convenience. We hope that the above information may be of some assistance in your deliberations and we look forward to a successful and beneficial association of the Kenai Visitors & Convention Bureau and the City of Kenai.

Rogers, City Attorney ;..... .; C Y of Kenai . DATE: August 17, 1988 _._.. .... RE: .. Task Force As a result of action by the Council at its August 39 1988 meeting, and the subsequent memorandum to the Council from the Mayor dated August 17, 1988, a need for clarification as to the ✓ status of the body formed by Council at their August 3, 1988 meeting has bean created. According to the Clerk's notes, Councilmember 5warner moved and Councilmember Bailie seconded a motion to "go ahead with the task force." After discussion, the roll call vote was unanimous to proceed with the task force. Prior to the motion, there was discussion concerning specific individuals who were suggested by Councilmember Bailie as prospective possible members of the task force, representing various geographic areas within the city limits of the City of Kenai. Those names were not part of the . a motion. However, it is my impression that subsequent to that meeting, a body designated a "task force" met and selected e chairman from among themselves. It is also my impression that body, generally known as a "task force," is proceeding to carry - -- --, - out the desires of the Council as stated in the August 3, 1988 }� meeting. N The memorandum of August 17, 1988 from the Mayor presupposes that at the meeting of August 3, 1988, from which he was absent, the Council created a board, commission or committee. If, pursuant k to KMC 1.90.010, a board, commission or committee was formed, then many of Mayor Williams' points in his memorandum, are S appropriate and do address procedural problems. i • However, if it was the intent of the Council to form a body not covered by KMC 1.90.010, but rather, a body designated as a "took - force" of limited duration and solely for an advisory function of -- the Council in order to gain more input in a short period of time from individuals from various geographic areas of the City as - quivkly as possible, then the Council may very well have had in mind. KMC 1.90 and utilized the "task force" concept so that it ! would not be encumbered by the rather stringent requirements of KMC 1.90. in order that they may address pn immediate problem in. _.. an expeditious manner without creating another body that would . remain in existence in perpetuity.

The document reproduced below presents the official position on direct federal -local relations shared by these four national associations representing local governments in Washington. It was prepared for presenta- tion to the Democratic and Republican platform committees and to the can- didates for President and for Congress In 1980, Each local government official, and each citizen concerned with the future of local government, should read it carefully and convey his or her own concern about the issues raised to candidates during this important election year. The Need for Parity and Partnership in Government The Presidential and Congressional elec- tions of 1988 present this nation with many opportunities for needed change, and non& is more Important than the op- portunity to change the way our federal government relates to local government, the government closest to the people. Over the past decade, this nations cities and counties and their regional councils have been relegated to a secondary role, behind the states in our national system of service delivery. The federal government no longer treats local governments as full and equal partners in identifying or ad- dressing the wide range of national domestic needs that require strong federal Intervention. Our cities and counties are not just governmental units, not just passive delivery mechanisms for government ser- vices. They are, and have always been, the locus of the nations human resources and the social and cultural institutions through which we maintain order and rationality in a complex society. Federal policy in the 1980's has ignored the fact that cities and counties are the engines of the national economy. It has ignored the fad that white cities and counties comprise the metropo•_ Than areas in which three out of four of the nation's citizens live and work, they pro- vide essential public services in rural regions as well. And it has ignored the fad that these cities and counties are the primary tax base for both the state and federal government, making major contri- butions to the support of state and federal programs, and to the solution of growing national problems. Today, for example, local governments bear more than 5o per- cent of the cost of maintaining and im- proving the nation's Infrastructure --our vital network of highways and bridges, sewer and water systems. During the 1980's, controlling a sharply rising deficit became the federal govern- ment's justification for withdrawal of its in- vestment in localities throughout the na- tion. The unfortunate result of this was a weakening of the federal -local partner- ship, and with this, a weakening of local government's ability to meet the growing public safety, human service and public facility needs that are of such critical im- portance to this nation. And while this federal investment was being cut back, the federal deficit continued to rise, it is time for our leaders in Washington to reassess this nation's priorities, restore the federal -local partnership, and ac- knowledge, once again, the central role that local government plays in meeting high -priority national needs. It is time for them to acknowledge that where solutions to national problems call for services that are delivered most effectively by local government, our cities, counties, and regional councils must be directly in- volved in the formation of those solutions and in the design of those services. Principles of Parity and Partnership The citizens who elect mayors, county officials and other local leaders are the same ones who elect governors, state and U.S. respresentatives, and the President. These voters have a right to expect cooperation and coordination across all levels of government in the delivery of the services they are entitled to receive. To restore the equitable partnership that must exist among the federal, stateand local governments of this nation, the Na- tional Association of Counties, National Association of Regional Councils, National League of Cities, and United States Cow ference of Mayors jointly urge th Presidential and Congressional candidate to endorse and advocate a strong agenda for parity and partnership in the federal system, an agenda calling for: • The restoration of direct federal -local relationships in the pursuit of national domestic goals and policies that are clearly within the sphere of local government responsibilities. There can be a positive state role where states are willing and able to substantially supple• ment the federal funding of local governments, and where local elected officials are included in the develop• ment of state policies governing the local activities being funded. • The adoption of national tax and fiscal policies that encourage investment in local infrastructure, promote both development of fiscal capacity and reduction of fiscal disparities at local and regional levels, and restore the long -held principle that sovereign governments do not tax each other In carrying out their vital government functions. • A resolve to shape federal policies an allocate federal resources to more adr, quately respond to the inequities and disparities of resources and capacities. across state, local and regional levels, and so better meet the needs of vulnerable populations suffering under conditions beyond their control. • A commitment to regulatory reform which (1) reduces or eliminates those onerous conditions placed on federal grants which are not essential to achievement of federal program objec. tives and which directly Increase local government costs, and (2) requires the federal government to absorb its fair share of the cost of federally -imposed mandates in such areas as courts, cor. rections, clean air, and clean water.

The AML Board and staff began this effort more than eight years ago at the request of the membership and we are extremely pleased to see the program underway." "For the protection of their communities and their residents, municipalities cannot be subject to crises of Insurance affordability and availability such as those experienced most recently in 198E and '86," said Phil Younker, Chairman of the AMUJIA Interim Board of Trustees, former Fairbanks North Star Borough Assembly Member, and an AML Past President. 'The participating municipalities and school districts will have more control over their insurance." 'The ultimate success of the AMUJIA will depend on the participants' commitment to the program and to effective loss control and safety" said Scott A.

St., Suite 200, Juneau, Alaska 99801, August 1988 Plap 3 I The Budget as a Communication Tool A local government's budget document can be used very effectively to communicate not only its financial status, but also its goals, policies, record, and vision of the future to the council/assembly and to the citizens. However, many municipal budgets are still little more than financial accounting documents, and there is much opportunity for local government -managers to learn how to tailor the budget process to enhance communication. A recent publication in the ICMA Manage- ment information Service series, The Budget a a Comnturtka►tlon Tod, by Thomas Tobin, highlights elements that can make budget preparation and presentation more produc- tive and effective. Tobin reviewed budgets that received awards from the Government Finance officers Association and information provided by other local governments to prepare his report. Some of Tobin's recom- mendations follow; those interested in reading the complete document may borrow it from AML by calling 58154325. The Budget Process The process of preparing a budget must facilitate communication if the document is to communicate well, says Tobin. The challenge in designing such a process is to make it open enough for full discussion of proposed changes in, policy and priorities without leaking it so open that policy deliberations prevent staff from completing the work at hand. it is necessary, therefore, to limit the points of access for the public and the council, while making good use of the points of access that are included in the process. Many local governments find that the work of the council in reviewing and approving the final budget is greatly facilitated if it has access at various points throughout the pro• teas, not just at the beginning and the end. Some cities use budget memoranda to the governing body to allow elected officials to set priorities among potentially controversial budget requests prior to the formal budget review to facilitate consensus during the final review and approval phase. Facilitating communication between the chief administrator and the departments is another important opportunity offered by an effective budget process. The key is to link the dialogue on proposed changes in expen- ditures to policy and performance. A goal• setting and evaluation stage -may,- In- fact, precede any discussion of finances in the budget cycle.The type of data requested by the ad. ministrator from the departments directly af- fects what the budget ultimately com- municates. Many of the more effective budgets combine line -item budget data, per- formance data, and program budget data, and, according to Tobin, it is important to obtain all three types of data from depart- ments to allow for the creation of a budget that can effectively communicate both per- formance and policy changes in addition to the more basic accounting information. The budget process may also be used to communicate the policy directions of the local government to the media and directly to the public. In some municipalities a por- tion of the budget cycle is closed, but in others public hearings are an integral part of the process once departments have com- pleted their initial requests. The tetterof Presentation The manager's letter of presentation is the single most important communication ele- ment in the budget document, according to Tobin, because it focuses the attention of the reader on significant changes. Any such changes, especially in the key areas of inter• govemmentaI aid, revenue sources, or per. sonnel, need to be highlighted because their impact will be seen in the figures presented in the budget. The presentation letter can help "make the numbers talk" by outlining the assumptions and potential policy changes that underlie budget projections. The letter should make these clear to the elected officials and the public, and propos- ed changes, in personnel for Instance, should be linked to the municipality's policies and their effective implementation. The presentation letter may also be used to discuss cost-cutting measures; explain any fund transfers and the financial situation of funds; discuss proposed increases in taxes, fees, or charges; review the debt situation of the local government; describe capital pro- jects that will be undertaken in the coming fiscal year; and review the long-range pic- ture, given current trends. A good com- municator will flag important changes whether or not they are under the local government's control. Communicating to the Council The presentation letter must, despite its im- pottance in giving the budget a focus and a message, be fairly brief. An effective budget document will highlight and explain changes In allocation patterns and changes in policy and clarify how administrators plan to Imple- ment ongoing policies throughout. It can do this by 1) correlating allocation changes with sta performance goals; 2) including ear= rative in the departmental expenditure breakdowns to explain -changes- In _more detail; and 3) presenting a special budget synopsis or statistical abstract section that summarizes major changes in program fund- ing levels all in one location. Communicating to the Citizens The challenge of designing a budget that communicates to the citizens parallels the challenge of designing one that will com-/-, municate to the governing body. However, because many citizens are unfamiliar with the financial data in the budget and in- terested in only a few issues, it Is important to prepare a budget document for the public that identifies changes in funding levels in a more summary fashion and highlights areas of special concern to citizens. The use of graphic presentations is especially important in making information accessible to the public. Most budget documents include standard revenue and expenditure pie and bar graphs, but some municipalities may find it useful to add others, including information on trends in real estate values, contracts awarded, or local government employment levels. Many local governments use their budget documents as general municipal resource documents and Include demographic data, descriptions of the municipal government structure, tax rates, and other useful information. A glossary of terms used in the budget is helpful in making the budget accessible to citizens who wish to review It but may be In- timidated by the vocabulary used by govern- mental managers and finance officers. Such phrases as "encumbrances," "accounts receivable," and "fiscal year' are familiar tq"-' people who use them regularly, but may noi- mean anything to many citizens and may, in fact, keep them from learning about the budget process and outcome. Another useful tool in communicating with the public may be a section profiling topics of particular interest to the citizens reading the budget. This might include a breakdown of uses of taxes or other reve- nues, changes in assessment levels, or linkages between revenues collected and specific services provided. The key to the ef- fective use of this type of section is to select topics of prime concern to the average citizen in the community and to present in- formation in an easily understood format. Tobin concludes that making the budget a i strong communication tool cannot be re- duced to a list of techniques; each ! municipality must tailor its budget document to its capacities and its needs. However, there is some universal information that must be part of any budget document, including. major changes In revenue and expenditures It is crucial for administrators to evaluate the ! information needs of the governing and the citizens and to focus on both uni , sal and local needs to make the budget pro- ! cess useful and also effective. i Page4 August 1980 ALASKA MUNICIPAL LEAGUE The Local Government Products and Servlces Dhectory is a new publication of the Alaska Municipal League and has been developed as a service to AML members. It lists and describes a variety of businesses and organizations offering products and services to Alaskan local governments and is intended to serve as a purchasing reference for municipal officials. Firms are listed in general categories, with cross-references where appropriate. Please take the time to review the directory and then keep it close at hand to help your municipality locate firms that can supply needed goods and seftes. The firms and organizations listed in this first edition of the Local Government Products and Services Directory all support Alaskan local government as Associate or Association Members of the Alaska Municipal League. They have experience in Alaska and would like to do more business with Alaskan cities and boroughs. AML will update and expand the directory annually. Future editions of the directory will list businesses and organizations that are not AML Members; however, League members will continue to receive preference in terns of adver- tising rates and identification as AML Members. Municipal officials can help make future editions of the Local Government Products and Services Directory more complete and, thus, more beneficial to Alaska's local governments by using the form provided to inform the League of firms they use that are not included in this edition, but might be interested in being listed in future directories. ika Municipal League does not necessarily recommend or endorse the n products of any individual or firm listed in this directory; however, s are provided where available.

Growing steadily in the years that follow- ed, Fairbanks boomed again during the building of the Transalaska Pipeline, when the population swelled to Its current size. As the southern terminus for the Dalton Highway, the main supply route for Prudhoe Bay, Fairbanks is still actively involved in the maintenance of the pipeline. Culturally, Fairbanksans have much to brag about. The Fairbanks Summer Arts Festival, held every July, brings International artists together with amateurs from around the country to workshops and performances. The Fairbanks Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Conductor Gordon Wright, has gained a national reputation as a superb or- chestra which often features Alaskan com- posers. In addition, national and interna- tional artists often visit and perform in Fair- banks and the city has a very active theater community. The University of Alaska Museum and the Alaskaland Gallery keep art lovers happy and the wide range of private galleries is a temp- tation to even the most disciplined of shoppers. Access to rural Alaska Is easy from Fair- banks and commuter airlines can take a visitor to one of the many villages in the Interior. Fairbanks —a city of contrasts. High rises and cozy cabins. Nightlife and northern lights. Fairbanks is extremely Alaska. Trials and Tribulations in the Halls of Wisdom: A Manager's Adventure in Juneau by Dave SDulak Manager, City of Palmer, Co -Chair, AML Legislative Committee During the past six years, several Alaskan city managers and the Alaska Municipal League have Wed to encourage legislation to allow tax increment financing (TIF) as a mechanism for financing capital projects. ill lows munote- Tax Increment financing nicipalities toundertake develop- ment or redevelopment projects by selling bonds for improvements and to pay off those bonds with the incremental Increase in pro- perty taxes on the improved property) Since 1983, supportfor TIF legislation has been in- cluded in the AML Policy Statement, but our efforts for pa�age of a bill expanding options for munlcipal financing with the TIF ap- proachiwere high a on deaf ears since oll d there was plenty of more - available for municipalities who Finally, this session, a bill authorizing tax increment financing, HB 434, was intro• duced by Representative Curt Menard from Wasilla and I got a real first-hand look at lob- bying and how a bill really becomes a law. The TIF concept ran into initial opposition from some staff in the Department of Com- munity and Regional Affairs who did not fully understand It and continued to come up with various scenarios showing how a pro- ject could not work. Even with testimony from AMIN Executive Director Scott Burgess and other municipalities and the expert ad- vice of Tom Klinkner of Wohlforth, Flint and Gruening, we still faced roadblocks. Although we had the 1986 Tax Reform Act language, which made it clear that the State had to specifically authorize tax increment financing to protect the tax-exempt status of this type of-bond�we-had a major battle on our hands: When it appeared that com- promise language satisfied everyone to a degree, other hurdles appeared. Because Representative Menard was in the House Minority, the bill came to a loggerhead in the House Finance Committee and was stuck cold in the water. At the same time, the Municipal Bond Bank had H8 538, allowing for lease pur- chasing of equipment using the Bond Bank's credit rating, going through the hoops. With HB 538 moving through the committees, it was decided to roll HB 434, the TIF legisla- tion, in with HB 538 In House Finance. After these hurdles were deared, a member of the House Finance Committee had more pro- blems with the bill which, with Scott's help, were solved. The move started tax increment financing legislation on the road again, ad the amended HB 538, a House Finance _ Committee Substitute, was passed out of the House and on to.the Senate lot action. Now we were down to the last five days of (continued on page 6) Ausud 1988 ftp S L V I _ y , f- Trials and Tribulations (continued from pap5) the session. The Committee Substitute was in el the Senate Community and Regional Affairs h Committee chaired by SenatorSturgulewski. a Arriving on the morning of May S,1988,1 was I whisked to the Capitol Building to attend a t meeting of that committee, First, some h senators had a problem with the amend- ments to AS 29.47.460, especially the part J reading "to Issue bonds to finance im- provements. Since some committee members did not like this wording, and to keep thiryp moving, Senator Sturgulewsk) ad- journed the meeting until 3:00 p.m. for us to c resolve the problem. in the meantime, i had Representative Menard's aide have two versions of the bill drafted, one with the wording "capital Im- provements" and one with "public im- provements." Since it was a sunny day in Juneau, I met a committee member on the stMoldwCapiW Bulldingand showed him the legislation with the words "capital Im- provements" inserted. He did not like the wording "capital Improvements" but would support, Ic impnomenW 1 went back to Representative Menard's office, chucked the draft with "capital improvements" into File 13, and asked the aide to make enough copies of the "public Improvement' wording draft for the 3:00 hearing. At 3:00 sharp, the Senate C&RA Committee convened, with Senators Sturgulewski and Kelly present, along with Scott and me, but no quorum. About this time, Senator Zharoff, a commk%e member, was walking down the hallway and was hustled into the meeting. HB 538 as amended was passed out of the Senate C&RACommittee, but some commit- tee members still had a problem with the bill, especially with the language referring to leas- ingoffacilitles. Now we still had a ways to go and, as you may recall, the new Anchorage Courthouse was a hot topic of discussion at this time. Well, the Senate Finance Committee even- tually waived referral on the bill, with some backroom coaxing, and we had to get HB 538 on the Senate calendar. Finally, it was scheduled for Sunday, May 8,1988 (the day before adjournment). About 4:00 Sunday afternoon the bill was debated on the floor and, after a few quick conferences in the hallways for clarification, Senator Sturgu- lewski and Kerttula helped to pass it out of the Senate. "Hey Dave —you finally got tax Increment financing passed and you can go home since it only needs concurrence from the Houset" No b ggee,l caught the 6:30 p.m. flight out and headed home. -The next morning t got a frantic call from Representative Menard's office saying that things had gone to hell in a handbasket and that the bill was now In a free conference committee because of objections to it. [Editors note: In a regular conference com- mittee the final bill may Include only ements in the versions passed by the two ousel; In a free conference committee rrything in the bill may be changed.] Too ate to catch a flight down to Juneau, except he milk run, so my ulcers started to react. I ad to leave it in the hands of Representative Menard, Scott, and Sterling Gallagher of ohn Nuveen, who was representing the Bond Bank. After many telephone calls on the progress of the free conference committee's work, I began to doubt whether I would see tax In- rement financing this session. As I stated earlier, the Anchorage Court- house was an issue, and some of the concern was about the leasing provisions, which some legislators feared could be used for this major project. Well, as the bill was finally drafted by the conference committee, the language "If the State is not a lessee'' was in- serted to allay those fears. About 10:00 Am, i received a call from Representative Menard's office saying that HB 538 had passed and tax increment fi- nancing was about to become a reality, sub- ject to Governor Cowper signing the bill. Even at this late hour, it was time for a few "Polish pope, and basking in a little ego trip. Then, on June 7,1980, Governor Cowper appeared at the Wasilla Chamber of Com• coerce luncheon and signed HIl 53B into law. Tax Increment financing is a walkyll Tak- ing support of TIF-enabling legislation out of the AML Policy Statement is one task that Scott and 1 will really enjoy when the Legislative Committee meets In July. A final note is that we owe special thanks to Representative M enard, who had faith in the merits of tax increment financing and worked hard to get It passed. And aspccial thanks, also, to Tom Klinkner of Wohiforth, Flint and Gruening for all his work, [Editors note: Without Dave Soulak'sperilstencethe bill would not have passed.] DON'T FORGET TO REGiSTERI The 38th Annual AML Local Govemment Conference will be held at Alaskaland in Fairbanks, November 16-18, 1986.
