Building a basement under the extension was suggested. It would be 48 in, concrete additional. Council could leave the solarium as an alternate. A bathroom in the new addition was suggested. We will need a setback, 2 ft. on the end. She suggested we go as far as we are allowed to go, cut out the bathrooms, make a doorway into the stairway to the basement. Councilwoman Swarner. is the basement for storage or public access? In the library, we had to have a handicapped ramp and elevator, it used lots of space. B. Warren. We will have to cut back on sq. footage of the expansion, but with a basement we will not need as much space. We need additional coffee serving area. We will have to put the extra chairs downstairs. C. Ladd. He was in favor of downstairs storage but it will be shot down because we would have discrimination against the handicapped, etc. Councilwoman Swarner. We could use the basement as an alternate. B. Warren. We have money that we have raised ourselves, cook books and salmon bakes. If we have to expand down, it will save on sq. footage. We can raise enough money through our own work to get the basement. If we also use it for storage we will not have problems. Councilwoman Swarner. You should talk to Building Inspector Hackney in case there are changes in the building code. B. Warren suggested forming a committee to work with this to scale back the schematics. Councilwoman Swarner. Ask how many toilets you will need for the additional amount of sq. footage. Mrs. Porter. We will schedule another meeting with Architect Kluge. C. Ladd. we will have to wait a month, Mr. Kluge is hunting. Mrs. Porter. You will need a dollar figure to work with.

Mr. Kluge had said 2 bathrooms with shower, but it did not have wheel chair access. We need one for the people working in the building. The handicapped will not be using it. Councilwoman Swarner. State requirements may make it necessary. Chairperson Johnson suggested a small bathroom with storage and a bench. The other storage would have separate access to the dining room and be an alternate dressing room. She suggested, an unheated storage locker on an outside wall to accommodate garden tools. The outside area generated a great deal of heat now and transfers to the kitchen. B. Warren. We need ventilation there. We should make copies of Chairperson -Johnson, B.

Program Director Porter: __. -This is- for free-. - C.- Ladd. - Why won'-t- the City Attorney do it? Mrs. Porter. He would not do it. - -C.-Ladd.--How-did-you come out -in Jan/Feb with Austin & Randolph? Did they get taken care of? Answer - yes. C. Ladd. He was in she court house recently. On Aug. 2, Randolph had a spiall claim against the State. He appointed Program Director Porter to act on his behalf. Is the Senior Center involved with that? There was a I I� I COUNCIL ON AGING SEPT- 13, 1988 PAGE 5 $204.64 claim against Rudy. Will this go against the Senior Center? Mrs. Porter. She did not feel it is the business of the Council on Aging. When Rudy died, he did not have a relationship with his family. The family chose to not come up to take care of selling his car, trailer and personal things, and going to the court house to get his personal effects. She is not sure how the family got her name, but they asked her to do this. She talked to City Manager Brighton, he saw no problem. The family gave her permission. She made it clear she did not want to make anything on this. She went to the court house and picked up his money, took care of his things. $1,400 was donated to the Center for what she did for them. it was put in the Senior Center account. There is a lady who claims he owed her money. The State disagrees. She did not feel it was the business of the Council on Aging. C. Ladd. Did you know about this? Mrs. Porter. Yes, but she did not feel it was a justified bill. C. Ladd. Did you recently have a senior citizen give you money when he died? Mrs. Porter. She did not feel that is his business. Councilwoman Johnson. Regarding -the foundation, she contacted an attorney recently here, he did nothing for us. She contacted another attorney, he made a promise and there was no action. The man Mrs. Porter contacted has been doing something. Atty. Rogers gave her the name of a man in Anchorage that had expertise. There is no one locally. She called him and he never replied. She called an old friend in Anchorage who recommended another man. He said he would do it for nothing because he had a mother who died of Alzheimer's Disease. C. Ladd. Regarding the entrance sign. Why can't we have a sign for the street we named for the seniors? He will pay for the sign if we could get one. MOTION: • B. Warren moved, seconded by F. Wilson, to go off the record to discuss a matter. Motion passed by unanimous consent. COUNCIL WENT INTO RECESS, 9:15 AM.

John J. Williams (5764, AA Mayor f% In reviewing the minutes of the Sept. 20, 1988 meeting, I find that a negative motion was made by Commissioner Sandahl, the motion being made "to not release this land as requested." Motion was seconded by Commissioner Siebert and there were four negative votes. In as much as the motion to not release the land was followed by four negative votes, t e result of both the motion and the votes is that the land should be released. However, it is stated in a sub -paragraph "the Parks & Recreation Commission recommends to the Kenai City Council not to•sell or lease this property because of the ideal habitat for wildlife and visitors." The verbatim minutes will be brought to the attention of the Council at its regular meeting of Oct. 5, 1988. However, it is strongly suggested that the Parks & Recreation Commission once again review the matter, present a motion in a positive form and then appropriately vote on the question. Once this has been done, the matter should be presented to the City Council as soon as possible for any appropriate action the City Council may wish to take. In other matters I am presenting before the Council for their approval the names of Cliff Massie and Ron Hansen as new members to the Parks & Recreation Commission.

Answer yes. Commissioner Nault: Was there gas produced before from this well? Chairman Smalley: Yes. It was a working well, Unocal capped it and Far North oil & Gas either leased or bought it. Mr. White: It is a lease. Howard Hackney, Building Inspector: Are you going to be putting up any buildings on the site? Mr. White: We may hook this well to a pipeline, there will be other work that we will have to do and at that time, we may add construction and will come for any permits, but what we've done so far and in the near future don't warrant buildings. Chairman Smalley returned the item to the Commission. For the record: Chairman Smalley, "I need to identify that on this particular sight, again I'm not too sure of the legalities between Mr. Nhite'e company and Unocal. I currently hold a lease agreement with Unocal on that property description as a mineral rights holder and I'm currently receiving dividends from Unocal. They're not great and quite a few people in the City, I mean I can go to pizza probably once a year, but, I will still vote on this Issue because I don't believe that's a conflict of interest. I have in the past and it's never been mentioned. Councilwomen Nonfor also. Mr. White: Union has your property under lease, I don't have your lease, just some surrounding acreage. I can make you a better deal. MOTION: Commissioner Bryson moved approval of PZ88-14, for moil and gas extraction, seconded by Commissioner Brown. Chairman Smalley: I noticed it is identified under item 15 that a chain fence will surround the site, is that when and if you put up buildings. Answer no, that is just in the future. There is quite a bit of vandalism there. VOTE: Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. Planning Specialist Loper: The petitioner for the next item is not here, I would request we take item 7-a next as the petitioners are present. The Commission agreed. 7. NEW BUSINESS a. Request for Development Within Townsite Historic District (TSH) - Bed & Breakfast - Tom & Kathy Tomrdle Planning -Specialist Loper: The portion _of the code pertaining to this item are before you. As the development is not anticipated to exceed $10,000 and the zone is a mix of both residential and commercial, no special permits are necessary. r) KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION September 28, 1988 Page 3 Chairman Smalley: Would more than 30% of your home be used for your business? Tom Tomrdle: Probably not this year. We would like to get this going and see how it works. Chairman Smalley: The reason I ask is that the code does not address bed and breakfasts or RV parks and we are looking at devel8ping ordinances. What we have is a home occupation which limits to 30% of the floor area and it's my understanding that you probably want to use more than 30%. Planning Specialist Loper: In this case it wouldn't hold though, because the TSH zone is both residential and commercial. A commercial venture would not be out of place in that zone. Commissioner Brown: So in this case it wouldn't be a home occupation but strictly a business. Chairman Smalley: I would hesitate to call it a bed and breakfast because that would cause some confusion in the very near future. Planning Specialist Loper: By going through a formal review of this body, it protects the integrity of the TSH zone for historic value. It meets the criteria for the funding agencies for historic grants, both federal and state. Chairman Smalley: I'm sure most of the Commissioners are aware of the home. I remember what it used to look like and it's come a long way. MOTION: Commissioner Bryson moved to state that the proposed activity is compatible with the intent of the TSH zone, seconded by Commissioner Nault. Commissioner Nault: Are you going to occupy the house while you develop the business or are you going to turn the house over to someone to run it. Kathy Tomrdle: Probably it would be me and at times my son as Tom and the other children are gone during the summers. After that we may make other arrangements. Chairman Smalley: Would it be necessary for them to come back to this body if it were to change and they moved out of the home. Answer no. Should they decide to expand onto the adjoining two lots grey will come back for a second review, but it is tied to the building permit. VOTE: Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote 4. PUBLIC HEARINGS b.. Resolution PZ88-15:__ Variance for -Construction within utility. Easement - Lot 2. Gusty S/D - Thomas H. Wagoner Mr Wagoner joined the meeting, this item moves to it's original place on the agenda. i , r- KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION September 28, 1988 Page 4 Planning Specialist Loper: The building presently lies within the platted right-of-way, Cohoe Avenue. According to the engineer, a water line runs under a corner of the building. Mr. Wagoner proposes to expand his building which will continue the back portion of the building in the right-of-way. At some point the City Would like to move that water line closer to where Cohoe Avenue really lies. Commissioner Brown: How much of that water line runs udder the building. Tom Wagoner: The back of the building site over the utility line by 4' at the furthest point, then it goes at an angle back towards the Tesoro station and gets narrower as far as encroachment. The only reason I'm asking for a variance because I want to maintain that line on the building. I could off set it easily 31. Because it's right in the downtown area I hate to stare breaking up the lines of the building and make it look like a bunch of additions. I want the building to look nice. The other reason is that my business has grown so much I plan to use the warehouse that Muffler King is in right now and they're a good renter and they don't want to move so I'm going to build a warehouse. Chairman Smalley: There are no other utility lines under the building? Tom Wagoner: I don't think so. We may find a lot of things once we start digging. Chairman Smalley: If the water line breaks, the City is not liable when repairing? Tom Wagoner: No. It is my responsibility. Commissioner Bryson: Some time ago there was a somewhat similar situation where Ed Lowry requested to build adjacent to an easement. Tom Wagoner: I think in that situation he built his rear.steps into the easement. The building wasn't but the rear steps were. Commissioner Bryson: I would suspect that the same type of liability statement could be attached. Mr. Wagoner agreed. Chairman Smalley: When we deal with this we need to ensure that it meets the criteria as set forth in the code and they appear to be there. MOTION: Commissioner Bryson: Finding that all the conditions specific to a variance are found to exist I would move for approval of P288-15, seconded by Commissioner Nault. VOTE: Motion passed by unanimous roll call vote. S. APPROVAL OF MINUTES of September 14, 1988 Chairman Smalley: In looking through the minutes I did not find the comments from Commissioner Brown on two uses on the same MR r- f KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION September 28, 1988 Page 5 conditional use. We tried to clarify the point. Commissioner Nault: It was the statement that the two uses weren't permitted but I don't think the clarification is in there. Chairman Smalley: We looked for it and could not find it in the code. Planning Specialist Loper: Where would you like -it inserted? Commissioner Brown: Under Comments and Questions. MOTION: Commissioner Nault moved for approval of the corrected minutes, seconded by Commissioner Bryson VOTE: Motion passes with unanimous consent. 6. OLD BUSINESS None 7. NEW BUSINESS b. Request for Development Within Townsite Historic District (TSH) - Renovation of Historic Building for Commercial Use - James. A. Arness Planning Specialist Loper: This is the same circumstance as for the previous request. It requires a building permit, however is not over $10,000. This is a renovation of an existing building within the Petersen compound. Chairman Smalley: It sounds like he's maintaining the integrity of the zone and the building. MOTION: Commissioner Bryson moved to find that the request for Mr. Arness' activity is compatible with the intent of the TSH zone, seconded by Commissioner Brown. VOTE: Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote a. Request for Release of Lands: hots 6 & 7, Section 15 - Miller Chairman Smalley called attention to the letters enclosed from the Parks and Recreation Commission and Kim Howard, Administrative Assistant. Chairman Smalley: Last night I was on the river and with the high tides right now, there was a great deal of water on lot 7 which you could see from Cunningham. Commissioner -Roberts: The -memo says "made available for--sale-- again", has this been brought before the Commissioner before. Chairman Smalley: Yes, however we took no action, we sent it on to the Parks and Recreation Commission for comments. - KBNAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION September 28, 1988 n Page 6 1' Planning Specialist Lopert The Land Use Plan calls for that land 1 to be for conservation and public use. Commissioner Brown: The Land Use Plan, does it seem that there was a lot of property they didn't know what to do with so they { called it public use, is that about it. 3. Commissioner Nault: What is on the adjoining lands besides the ranch. Answer just the river and wetlands. Chairman Smalley: 'f From about Cunningham Park to the fish wier it is one of the most y :. j heavily fished spots in the river. The ranch belongs to the ;.. Martins. Basically it's a land locked parcel. There is no access..r'._.' ,. except by river. Commissioner Nault: It's all swamp to get to it - - -` isn't it? Answer yes. Commissioner Roberts: There is an area of lot 6 that is high is it not. The Commission agreed. MOTION: Commissioner Brown moved that Planning and Zoning Commission recommends to the City Council that the subject lands are - determined not required for public use and should be made ' available for sale, seconded by Commissioner Roberts. Commissioner Bryson: I'm not that familiar with how well this is formulated but I felt at the time the City proposed the Corps permits in the industrial portion of the river that the intent was that the focus of the development would be in the lower portion of the river rather than allow any commercial development in the upper portion or above the mouth. ,y Commissioner Brown: Would this be for commercial development or residential development. Commissioner Bryson: It's not stated at µ this time, I would only surmise that they are proposing i commercial. Commissioner Brown: So whoever bought this property would have to rezone it to develop it commercially. Answer yes. ? Commissioner Bryson: I personally feel the highest and best use for this parcel is to leave it in public control, and leaving that ' portion of the river undeveloped. ,. Commissioner Brown: I'm not arguing for or against development, ; A I'm saying I think by looking at this Land Use Plan there is more - than enough public lands that they have under their control and putting conservation land under private control, I don't see a problem with it as long as Planning and Zoning has control of the ' zoning and if that conservation zone remains with the property then before they can development they have to come back to the - - - - Planning Specialist Loper: To further clarify this, since it lays -development. - - in wetlands it would take a Corps permit for any 'r. k " r () �, KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION September 28, 1988 Page 7 Commissioner Bryson: What it creates essentially is an inholding in that wetlands area which I think from a planning perspective is not a good situation. Chairman Smalley: I talked with Dale Sandahl and Dick Hultberg on these two issues and the concern that Dale mentioned was again, what'Commissioner Bryson mentioned and I also believe the City has an obligation to keep hold of the property it has on the river for public use. Commissioner Brown: Are there any comments from the Parks and Recreation Director as far as it being highly used by the City? Answer no. However ,it _is inaccessibly except by the river and under those circumstance the City could not maintain it. What we would have to do is float a barge down the river with lawnmowers. Commissioner Roberts: I have a problem with the fact that the ordinance states here that if it's not required for a public purpose then it should be made available to the public for sale. I don't foresee any public necessity for this land. As far as getting to the land, I would think it would be the landowners responsibility. Chairman Smalley: That road that comes down beside the Beaver Loop Mortuary goes right behind the land on follows a section line and that has been shut down. Commissioner Roberts: He just might have a ferry that he wants to put out there and I don't think that is our problem, we shouldn't deal with that. Planning Specialist Loper: our concern here tonight is only if YOU want to release the land. As far as control is concerned, we have•control over the zoning, the Corps would have control as far as development since it is within wetlands, it probably falls under the Kenai River Management Plan so they would be involved. Since there are several reviewing agencies I don't think you would need to consider development aspects at this time. Administrative Assistant Howard: George Miller may not necessarily be the owner of the land. You are declaring it available or not available and not required for public use. It will,,go out to public bid and it may not go to George Miller. t Commissioner Nault: Are the lands surrounding it in public or private hands and second does the Comprehensive Plan address that portion along the river. Planning Specialists Loper: I don't remember any portion of the Plan that addresses the river property specifically except for bluff setbacks. Chairman Smalley: There is Borough, City, and private ownership adjacent.

Request for Release of Lands: Lot 14, Section 1 - Gaily Chairman Smalley: This property is almost behind South Ames Road '.� across from one of the bed and breakfast requests that we have. Commission recessed to view the map. Chairman Smalley: The concerns that the Parks and Recreation ,I 'i Commission had about this parcel is that it remains undisturbed. I think any kind of development in there would cause a disturbance. Commissioner Brown: I don't see where they say they are going to f be developing it. Chairman Smalley: I can't see anyone buying a parcel that size and not doing anything with it. ,. Commissioner Brown: I again think that the City should be ' promoting the idea of getting some of it's property out into private hands to where it doesn't become a custodian to the majority of lands in this area. I have always been a believer that private property owners have more concern for property than a government entity. If it's a good habitat for birds and it's the _ wishes of the Commission at a later date to continue to leave it as a conservation, so be it. I think the City should be releasing these lands for public sale.

Chairman Smalley: I think it's too bad that the persons were not here to explain what they intended. Commissioner Roberts: I think it definitely would have been to their advantage to have been here tonight. Chairman Smalley: When someone petitions something like Wet are .they encouraged to be here when it's coming up? Administrative Assistant Howard: I've kept them up to date on what has been going on. Planning Specialist Loper: As far as I know there is nothing in thb code that says we even have to say who it is that is petitioning for lands. Taking you back ,to when Jeff Labahn was Land Manager I think he made that statement. It is really the only way you are to make recommendation, based on the merits of the property only.

Williams YAW �, �` Mayor The question of long range planning regarding R/V parks and tourism has become a major issue within the City of Kenai, as you are aware. The Mayor's office is presently in the process of selecting two new members of the Commission (one being Dan Roberts, the second as yet undecided) in order to bring the Commission to full strength, with the hope of addressing this subject in an appropriate manner. At this time, after consideration by the City Council and much discussion concerning the subject, I am taking the opportunity to request that the Planning & Zoning Commission undertake as a priority item, a complete review of its recommendations regarding R/V parks that was passed on to the City Council some two years ago and in which no action was taken. Additionally the subject of the zoning code throughout the entire city as it relates to R/V parks must also be examined and addressed. Once and for all the City must come to grips with the question of service to the tourist population and visitors who choose to stay in the City if we are to move ahead -with any meaningful tourism industry. In order to accomplish this we must be prepared to designate areas capable of accepting R/V parks within our City boundaries in a manner that is consistent with good planning practices and in a manner that will not impact adversely those areas affected. To these ends, the City Council is requesting a full report of this -matter be completed as soon as possible and - presented to us for our review. At this time, on behalf of the City Council and the Mayor, I wish to extend our heartfelt thanks for the many hours of work that has been put into planning & zoning'within the f I & ZONING COMMISSION Kenai and congratulate you on your efforts on behalf i :ity to bring these matters to justifiable and Dle conclusion for all of the citizens of the city. understand that your work is most important -to the � Df the City of Kenai and does not go unrecognized. r {. i.

At the last meeting the Commission had asked for a letter stating what their intent was, I have that now, and also a letter from the Corps of Engineers stating that what Ken wants to do in regards to Beaver Creek, he does not need a permit. They will be able to do what they want to do until they get to the high water line. Mrs. Mattison distributed copies of both letters. According to the letter, as long as no debris falls into the creek no permit is necessary from the alders up. Once down into the high water line a permit becomes necessary. The letter from Ken and Elizabeth Smith states that there will 6 people at a time in the house as there are only 3 bedrooms plus no more than 3 drift boats.

The length of stay is usually two weeks. { 4.: e. is I KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION September 14, 1988 Page 2 Commissioner O'Reilly: Are you saying that they would only be using 30% of the house? Answer; three bedrooms of that house probably would be. Their main guide service would probably be run out of Sunshine Sports as before. Commissioner O'Reilly: when they applied for this did they apply for home occupation? Answer from Planning Specialist Loper: They wanted to be able to cover all possibilities and opted for the more stringent as opposed to the home occupation. Commissioner Bryson asked Mrs. Mattison to describe what the guide service and bed and breakfast as far as activity is concerned. The guide service activity that is taking place on the lot. Answer from Mrs. Mattison: The client comes to the house and stay there, they are taken out on the drift boat, they drift down river and pull out. They would be fed at the home. Commissioner Bryson: Basically the most activity generated would be at the house for meals and sleeping. Chairman Smalley: They would be pulling the boats out at Cunningham rather than Beaver Creek? Answer yes. There or depending how far down the river they go. Chairman Smalley: And there wouldn't ever be any more than 3 or 4 boats on the property. Answer no. Commissioner Bryson: How many guides are licensed? Answer, only one. Commissioner Bryson: Do you have to be a licensed guide to operate? Answer, I don't know. Chairman Smalley: Actually a drift boat doesn't require a license such as a six pack. Answer from the audience: Right, drift boats don't require the same licenses as do motorized boats. Chairman Smalley called for comments from the audience. David McKechnie: I live at the end of Ames Street. I have also sent a letter addressed from Fairbanks. I believe you talked to the Army Corps of Engineers, I have also talked to them, and basically what she said is correct. Once they get down to the flat spot you do have to have a permit to do anything. There is another permit that is required, this area is part of the Kenai RiveriManagement area and therefore they have to go through the State,of Alaska Parke and they handle permitting for anything that has to do with the shoreline and that's Sue Millington. All the residents on either side and along Ames Street have nothing to do with guiding businesses. All the guides are down on Anglers. There's no business that brings the kind of traffic we're talking about down in our area. I'm really against it. It -opens the door to another development that Ion sure you're all aware of which is the RV park. And I consider this one to be in a similar vein although -it's much lesser impact. -The boat, although she says there won't be any guiding activity out of the house, I find that hard to believe that they're going to go to all the expense of building a dock and n way to pull the boats up out L Wl r _: .1 KENAI PLANNING 6 ZONING COMMISSION September 14, 1988 i° Page 3 i there. Therefore there will be more activity based on that plus ;t more people coming down here if they're running four boats with i four to six people to a boat .... Chairman Smalley: probably no I more than two, any more than that it's too hard to control the boat. David McKechnie: So we're still talking eight to 16 people plus the associated traffic, trespassing .... Terry Mattison: They only go out on the river once a day. They take people to and from the airport to the house, there are no - individuals who would increase traffic. David McKechnie: Yes but I have no assurance that that won't — change. There are a bunch of illegal guides down the river and n jj believe me its a roaring business in the pure sense of the word. , - - ---- - " Chairman Smalley: I believe the City is pursuing that. David McKechnie: I believe they will go to power to get up Beaver _ Creek. i ..i Commissioner O'Reilly: Can we separate the bed and breakfast from ' the guide issue? Answer; probably. _- David McKechnie: The way the ordinance is written you can only have one conditional use per property and the way this is written it combines the two. And they are not necessarily tied together. They are two separate entities. Nick Miller: I live next to the property being discussed. You already know how I feel so I won't go into that. The only thing I would like to state is that for any reason you approve any one or other or both of these or any part of these, that you make sure that the restrictions or conditions are very clearly stated that „ do protect people that would like to be a private property owner in the area, and pretty well write it out, this is just to nay you - - - - do decide to do it for some reason. Put in all the restrictions ' that should be put in there that are in the book so that the other owners around there will have some recourse so that people who own the property, should they get a permit also will know the guidelines they have to go by under the conditional use process. - Commissioner Brown asked if the restrictions in the letter would suffice. Answer from Mr. Miller: Well, for the number of people, its not really covered in the code real well, you pretty well have to decide how many boats or how many people or any part of it that _ _... you want to allow. But there are some pretty specific things under the uses that have to deal with, not only screening, sight obstruction, off street parking, all these other things. The reason I'm bringing this up is in case any part of it goes through that we do have some recourse and we call the City for some reason, that there is something specific that we can tell the City so they're not just saying its just because you're not having a -- -- - - good dayand you don't like the guy; and you're just compiaintng: - - - - - - :- If it's specific then we do and if you limit the number of people - 7 that -are living -in the -house -or under -the -bed and -breakfast -and boats coming up, that should be in there specifically so that if 1• # r 4 KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION September 14, 1988 Page 4 • it is being abused there is some guideline to go by. I can't just � ' call the City up and say hey he's using four boats today. He might only be using two, I don't know. But those things should be In there and there is another matter going before the City now ! °; ; that if it had gone through the way it was there would have been f, no guidelines on anything. The person could have done anything they wanted unless it had, reason I'm saying this is because that's one thing that could be left out and if they got, say the bad and breakfast without the guides using the place well then, c you know what time in the evening, if it's too late to be making ` - ! noise, if that's what's going on or what, I don't know, that's -= questions you will hear about later if this does happen. I would have been a lot happier to see this happen if the person doing it - twould have been a single person with a single guide business and __,.. then maybe having a room as a bed and breakfast and living there year around where if there was a problem, I'll talk to a neighbor ! j you .live with and say hey, you know you're disturbing us a little bit, but this isn't somebody that's going to live here year II around. He's not a person to know real well so we can't go over and say, hey, knock it off, you're bugging me. Tanni Miller: I'm not actually opposed to bed and breakfast and guiding service, although in the area I feel that its not particularly a good place for it, in a residential. And I believe ,. it's kind of opening the door to anyone that has any property on Beaver Creek to just bombard the place as has happened in Soldotna. I went to a meeting last week in Soldotna over the bed l and breakfast issue and guiding service issue. And it's gotten to the point where the guides feel like it should be against the law for private property owners tn nwn property on the river. It ( { - •T should belong to guides and bed and breakfasts and people that j serve the tourists. And shame on you if you are a private property owner because you're depriving a guide. That's pretty much how I feel. I hate to see the whole area opened up for just guiding services because it's going to push us right out. Chairman Smalley called for further comments, there were none. Commissioner Bryson: I wonder if it would make a better document z if we approve or take action on an item or get a set of conditions or 4 set of development standards, whether its not having flashing lights on after a certain time of night, or screening, or what e ever. U. Commissioner O'Reilly: Along those same lines, I get the feeling 4" that we're going to be =_eked for a number of these g g permits and it seems that if there are this many businesses, people, or entities that need a_ conditional maybe we the zoning -_use, -_should -consider itself. Commissioner Brown: That may not be desirable as you open up to others. Commissioner O'Reilly: I'm not saying one way or the other, we should change the zoning. I'm just saying that - some people say this area has become commercial and some people say no its residential. Maybe we should let the people decide whether they want this to remain residential or have more freedom. r, � I i Ili,,,•. 1A ,r M u. G•� r: S KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COHNISSION September 14, 1988 Page 5 Chairman Smalley: I read those comments in the papers regarding past meetings. The area is zoned rural residential and granted there are businesses operating down there that are not operating in complt+te compliance to Kenai law. The City is pursuing it, so its not that the area has gone commercial, the area has gone illegal. I think we need to be careful so that we don't cot a preco$ent that we'll make that become a commercial area. The input we've received says they want it to remain residential. Commissioner O'Reilly: I agree. Does it seem to you though that we've got some people that say that it should remain residential and some people who don't? Answer yes. Commissioner Bryson: Historically, the Planning Commission has left zoning changes up to the people in the area. Our zoning right now does not have a designation specifically for a recreational/commercial use. In that respect there is something we could do which would create a zone, but when no one's in it. In the not too distant past, Leo Oberts has asked for a zone of this type, at least for five years that I've known of. Chairman Smalley: And the difference for instance between the Ames Road area and Angler's Drive, number one the size of the lot, type of housing combinations, most zones are summer and only one or two are large enough for year round. It's almost two different areas. Commissioner Brown: Are we generally in favor then of coming up with some type of guidelines for bed and breakfast and guide services. Perhaps a favorable motion would be tied to those guidelines. I think the guidelines should be on the shoulders of the Planning and Zoning Commission and not a burden on property owners. Chairman Smalley: The guidelines would be the burden of the Commission and City Administration. Commissioner Nault: Can we set conditions for these, so they would be across the board for everybody from here on? Commissioner Bryson: What we're doing tonight would apply to this one only. Chairman Smalley agreed. Commissioner O'Reilly: So when you were talking about setting restrictions you were speaking to only this one? Commissioner Bryson: yes. The concerns I have personally on this one in the event it were approved would be not having the additional clearing or removal of vegetation or screening on common lot lines for adjoining residents. Something addressing how late activities can take place, something that would be compatible with residential use. Chairman Smalley: I know that with regular guides hours of operation are 7 to 7.

Chairman Smalley: No. Commissioner Bryson: Just the nature of recreational ... it might be more abused in a residential area. Commissioner O'Reilly: Is it even - constitutional to make them comply? Chairman Smalley: We talked about off street parking, I think there's probably adequate space down there, having walked through the property to park a number of vehicles, these people would be flying in, picked up and delivered, at no time there wouldn't be anyone driving their own vehicles. Terry Mattison: I wouldn't say at no time, because there are some --- ---- - people who might rent cars, however, there is more than adequate parking that cannot be seen from the road. Chairman Smalley: Then there's the potential of having all the space used by vehicles or boat trailers or boats that the side screening be so ' that ... Terry Mattison: On one side there isn't much screening, but the other side it is. Commissioner Bryson: Other conditions would be per stated by the agent plus garbage, number of boats, number of bedrooms used, etc. Commissioner Brown: until we come up with a general set of guidelines that could be used for all bed and breakfasts that apply for a conditional use permit rather than going through the exercise of trying establish guidelines for, I can see a dozen coming before us soon. ` Chairman Smalley: Yes, but they are going to be different, like _. down on Angler's Drive when those start coming in to us, you get DEC to work down there as far as sanitation. Commissioner Brown: ' So we -sit here and say the Jones' come before us and for your bed and breakfast you can have 40% and for Smith's they'll say well Jones got 40% why am I restricted to 30%. Chairman Smalley: We're talking for specific number of clientele, if you set it specific for all bed and breakfast, some of those off Angler's Drive might not be in compliance. Commissioner Brown: That's why I'm saying you need to set a guideline for why you're even looking at it. You need to be specific as to what you're trying to achieve by restricting the number of people they can rent to. slf Commissioner Bryson: I think this is a situation where this is a residential district and it should have those guidelines as far as impact. Commissioner Nault: I think the solution is responding to the people in the area. Commissioner O'Reilly: I do agree "4. with Commissioner Brown that I can see that there will be a number of permits coming to us and it seems ridiculous to go through every single one. All the bed and breakfasts are going to be in -- ---------------- - residential. It has to be— - It seems - like -instead of --saying if ". you're going to have six people in your bed and breakfast maybe we should allocate _astertain-percentage of -house area. Make it a special use. Chairman Smalley: The home occupation uses 30%. Commissioner O'Reilly: They need more than that. Chairman Smalley: This is a big house. I'm sure they're well within the i4 irw KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION September 14, 1988 Page ? l 30%. I think you're going to have to be specific to the number of persons because there are different sets of standards that you have to look at that regulates the number of people. Commissioner Brown: What is that percentage of floor space, does that apply to bedrooms? Commissioner O'Reilly: But doesn't that mean they are going to be using the living room and eating in the dining room? Commissioner Bryson: That's where it should become a zone situation. Every one of these are going to be different. In all likelihood we will be going through this every time with every one. Commissioner O'Reilly: What criteria are we going to use for the guides. It seems that we should be using the same criteria. Chairman Smalley: Or the criteria we could use to evaluate them is the public input which we hear. Part of that is to help us establish guidelines as far as restrictions. But I agree with Phil, they're going to be specific. We didn't create the situation, we just have to deal with. I think rather than trying to create something general to all that may come in we need to deal with this issue and get this process on -going and then maybe we can establish something. Planning Specialist Loper: Part of our goals and objectives beginning in 1965 was to look into the bed and breakfast question. I have available for the Commission information from several sources that you could use for reference. Many of the samples have been in place and working for several years. if you desire, I can get it together and send it out to you and this may help you with restrictions. From listening to your discussions it sounds as though you are confused and this may help you out.

SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT (10 Minutes.) 1 Stephan Signs Guf Sherman - "welcome to Kenai" sign Guf Sherman presented hie scale drawing to the Council as approved by the Beautification Committee. The price quote was $8,600 installed. Most of the concerns of the Beautification Committee dealt with durability and maintenance. L 1 F E9 KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES SEPTEMBER 21, 1988 PAGE 2 Mayor Williams: To make a comparison in size, please use the present sign for the community to the east. Mr. Sherman stated that this sign is wider and a foot shorter. The lettering is twice the size and less expensive. The letters will be cut out and raised on a rough cedar background. The seal for the city is going to be 23 carat gold and carved. The sign will have a steel superstructure with wood, it is low maintenance and set in concrete. The base is rock. The sign should last a very long time with the only maintenance would be painting some of the trim boards. There were other bids submitted, however Mr. Sherman did not see them or know what their budget was. Councilwoman Swarner: I would like to see the word welcome. MR. Sherman explained that this was discussed by the Committee and they decided that the word welcome could be placed on the space provided at the bottom. The original design submitted by the logo contest did not have the word welcome in it. Councilwoman Bailie: Some interpretation from the Committees initially they weren't so much in favor of replacing our sign, but the more they got to thinking about it, there's no sign at all in the K-Beach area. When this was proposed they looked at placing the present sign over there and wanted to place this sign along the Spur Highway. I might add that this price includes installation. The sign that Soldotna has is close to double the price. My own opinion, upon return from the "south 4811, signs like this are very prevalent in small communities, and it does make an impression on the visitor. Regarding the "welcome", that was not something you saw on an awful lot of the signs. Just the name of the town was a welcome. The Committee felt very positively about this sign. Councilwoman Swarner: Did Janet find out if you could put the sign on K-Beach Road in any right-of-way or where it is possible to locate that sign. Councilwoman Bailie: I don't know. I believe a part of the land is state. Keith Kornelis: The land on that side of the river is mostly all state. I don't think there would be a problem for getting a permit to place it in the right-of-way. We did get a permit for placing it on the Spur Highway. Mayor Williams: My concern is that we are well outside of the proposed right-of-way for the new double lane highway. About the color, was the Committee set on the color? Answer from Mr. Sherman: No. The colors are optional-. They suggested a.red, - white, and blue because of the bicentennial years. Mayor Williams: Traditionally we've been looking at blues more than reds and I'm wondering how it would look if the main letters were blue and some of the lesser letters were red. Mr. Sherman stated that you can change any of these colors. Fj I F i' KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES SEPTEMBER 21, 1988 PAGE 3 Mayor Williams: How does Council feel about the new sign. Councilwoman Swarner: I would like to find out what we can do with the old sign for sure before we go ahead and order a new r. sign. Councilwoman Monfor: Could we purchase this sign from revenue sharing monies? I don't have a problem with it. Councilwoman O'Reilly: What is the time frame for completion of this sign, can it be done this fall or spring or when. Mr. �- Sherman: About 4 to 5 weeks from the time I get started. Mayor Williams: If it pleases the Council we can direct �. administration to prepare a contract with final approval from the n Beautification Committee on any details. Mayor Williams: Before we move further, I see from the agenda that A representative from Stephan Signs was supposed to be here. We had gone out for RFP and it appears that there is only one major proposal. Councilwoman Bailie: There was another proposal from another company, however, the Committee felt very strongly _.. -.-- about this design. Mayor Williams: If I remember, the design and construction falls under professional services, therefore it does not require that it be let for bid. It is up to the Council's discretion. Councilman Measles: Mr. Sherman indicated 4 to 6 weeks for completion, there is some concrete work to be done, can that be done within that time frame? Mr. Sherman: I can do it any time, I have poured concrete during the winter. City Manager Brighton: It will be 4 weeks before the money can be appropriated and made available to pay for it. You need to tie it down An what you want unless you are going to permit the Beautification Committee to determine the colors and everything else concerned with this. I don't want it left to the point that we're trying to write a contract to build the sign and we're dictating the colors of what the sign is going to be. Mr. Sherman: On the proposal it says colors are optional and its the only question I had. During the meeting with the Committee they Veren't sure. City Manager Brighton: May I ask Councilwoman Bailie, if Beautification determines the colors and we agreed so that the project moves ahead. Councilwoman Bailie: I was not at the meeting when this was presented, but it was absolutely unanimous decision with this, that they were very impressed with the drawing. Mr. Sherman: After a lot of discussion about the weathered -gray or Tough -cedar, they -basically did agree on these _.---------------.-. colors with the background being rough cedar with the reds and - - blues -being brighter and the only change was the color- band. -I can go back and verify for exact colors. KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES SEPTEMBER 21, 1968 �i PAGE 4 Councilwoman O'Reilly: Did the Committee also agree on weathered gray. To me that would look a lot better with the other colors we're using than the brown. Councilwoman Bailie answered yes. MOTION: Councilwoman Bailie moved to direct administration to prepare the documents for contracting for the sign, seconded by Councilwoman 41 O'Reilly VOTE: Motion passed by unanimous consent Finance Director Brown: On C-3, rather than bring back an ordinance, if you want to appropriate the money out of federal revenue sharing, I see no reason why we can't amend that I ordinance. It's up for public hearing soon. Mayor Williams: j Agreed, it will save us a month. C. PUBLIC HEARINGS 1.

Fred Braun, land owner and business owner although not a resident. -'--- :- --:-' I -do favor this ordinance.--i-think, as a business person, we've all seen the downturn of the economy in the last 2 to 3 years. I . really think the tourism is something we've all over looked or taken for granted. I think that with this full time Convention L lei s r- KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES SEPTEMBER 21, 1988 PAGE 5 and Visitors Bureau, it would be a major attempt to promote the tourist industry. I think it would help the economy, the area for sales tax returns. And I do think it's time that the City of Kenai, the Chamber of Commerce and the Convention and Visitors Bureau get together. Mayor Williams referred to a letter presented to Council from Mr. R.F. Williams, President of Kenai Bicentennial Visitors and Convention Bureau and is Manager of Chevron USA in support of this ordinance. It has been mentioned that there are several major companies waiting in line to make substantial donations. Councilwoman Monfor: This probably won't be the last time we will have to appropriate money, but the money we spend this year and perhaps next year will be returned so many times over it will be like a drop in the bucket. I had the opportunity to speak to Ashley Reed a couple weeks ago and he mentioned that he already knew of companies in Anchorage such as Alascom that are just waiting for this to happen so that they can start making donations. It's one of the best things we can do for our taxpayers. We need this to keep our tax flow and mill rate low. I was informed today by Sue Carter that the telephone utilities are saving 283-1991 for us and that we have the post office box 1991. I went to a board meeting yesterday and it was so exciting. This is something that is going to put us on the map. City Manager Brighton: I want to call your attention to one thing, for those of you that can remember when you got the proposed budget, we're appropriating $90,000 and their bottom line was $110,000 on the basis of $20,000. The City appropriated $25,000 in this budget for the budget, which in effect, would make that $115,000 instead of $110,000. They made a mistake in the $20,000 item. The last item which says the information center contractual services, inclusive of cost of brochures, personnel, office space and Visitor and Convention Bureau. That figure is actually $25,000 and was appropriated by the Council in the budget instead of $20,000. Councilwoman Monfort Even though we're funding this, and to me its like giving a grant, if we hired an employee for the City I don't think that we could do it and at the end of three years let them go. Councilwoman Bailie: I came across a publication, "New Strategies for Advancing Alaska's Economy 1986 - 1990" which is very interesting, but when we talk tourism, this publication does state that tourism is the second largest renewable resource income producer -in Alaska. Approximately 740,000 visit Alaska each year. This was put out two years ago so I'm sure figures are higher, but the_typical_expenditure _for -a -visitor- is_$1,000._ In,addition,_I have the annual report for FY1987 from Juneau. Conventions and tourism is up extremely over last year and have managed to have 17 conventions coming to Juneau outside the State. That is exciting, L W 0 f r— I �s s. ; f 4' f• i' KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES SEPTEMBER 21, 1988 PAGE 6 especially when you look at what we have to offer here in this community. We have made a positive step for the economy and the citizens of Kenai by supporting this ordinance. Mayor Williams: I might mention that Kenai is hosting the Firemen's Convention this weekend and there are nearly 300 people with most of them here about a week by the time they finish.

Coundilwoman Monfor: I would like to ask if a department head is goni and someone else takes their position how many days is it for that person to be gone, answer from PW Director Kornelis, ton working days. Councilwoman Monfor: I definitely want to see that changed. An can be gone for five days, I don't feel that Finance Director Brown: The personnel ordinance says ten days, but in the City Clerk's section of the code which is not personnel ordinance it specifically says that deputy city clerk is five days. We deleted the reference to the attorney a few months ago on that aspect. It is different. You asked for department heads. Coun6ilwoman Monfor: I want this person to be treated just like any other person. I have a problem with this whole thing any how and I'm going to vote against it. I was under the impression that when we did this, this one was going to be, every time the City Clerk was going to be gone five days, the deputy clerk would get a pay increase. Either I misunderstood or it's not working out. I never anticipated this. City Manager Brighton: It's always been that way. Finance Director Brown: If I may, in defense of the situation, what had happened before was the deputy city clerk was in the legal department. The legal department has three employees and they didn't really take any extra money in the budget. When you have several employees in one department, because of raises, stop increases, etc, there is always a little money extra in the budget. The legal secretary was always getting this extra money but you never had to see a separate appropriation for it. Councilwoman Monfor: So this isn't brand new. Entire Council: no. Finance Director Brown: The difference is the deputy city clerk is in the Planning Department, there is only one employee and there isn't any money to cover it. Councilwoman Monfor: So then from now on when it's budget time, we'll put it in the budget. Then I will retract my objection. Coungilwoman Swarner: In the budget it just says temporary help under City clerk. It doesn't have compensation like for this. What1was the temporary help. Finance Director Brown: The temporary help was actually used up in the first week or two weeks that Janet was gone. Councilwoman Swarner: Because of -the five days. Finance Director Brown: she's been gone one five day period this year. That $300 has been used up. We figure, $280 per week extra pay. Councilwoman Swarner: I would like to see it changed to ten days so the clerk is treated the same as other department heads. Councilman Measles: I realize that this is new it just hasn't appeared before us in this form before, but why was it not i I KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES SEPTEMBER 21, 1988 PAGE 9 (` provided for in the budget. Finance DI.rector Brown: When we switched departments, either Janet or I should have thought to add it to the budget, neither one of us did.

Mayor Williams: H-6 is a change order for Doyle Construction which would make this subject to FAA. Airport Manager Ernst: First let me explain Item H-6. The segmented circle and wind cone was an item of construction that was brought to our attention by the FAA after looking at the float plane facility and the approach -to the actual water basin which FAA felt was necessary on the west side, middle of the water runway. Then we have the access to the east side to the water way which now is just made out of native material and is not an all- weather road. Because it is a safety item, and sometime in the future which we hope we won't need, for emergency vehicle use which are not 4-wheel drive. Airport Manager Ernst; In item three we have outlined A though E. _ These_are different portions of the project to be paved. The FAA builds in a 10% contingency amount from our AIP money. What we're seeking to do is see which one of these projects they might fund. They have indicated they may go for item A which is the main road u.t•. - - 1 KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES SEPTEMBER 21, 1988 PAGE 10 into the basin since it is the only access to the basin. By doing ?.: this it would alleviate possible run through traffic from the other subdivision. At the last Council meeting I said that all streets would be barricaded, however, I have found that Third Avenue cannot be barricaded because of access to a private home and they need the road. We are trying to get as much of the $66,000 which is 10% of the grant amount which is $667,000. As you see with the description of the suggested wording from the i Finance Director for the approval is; if you approve the whole change order and the FAA decides that they're going to fund a - certain amount of these then we would adjust the figure with our state grant money so that we're not going over. Mayor Williams: As I understand it, we are going to pool the money now in anticipation of receiving FAA grants. In the event 7 that we do not receive the FAA grant as anticipated the pooling of the money in place will serve to take care of several projects on the list but not all. Councilman Measles: I'm confused over too many sets of figures. - - The change order shows $43,186. The resolution talks about $79,751, the motion talks about $79,751 but includes the change order of $160,580. Airport Manager Ernst: We hand carried that .`.,` one in. It is a substitute to the resolution today. There is an addendum to H-6. Airport Manager Ernst: We had to bring this in now because we did not have an amount for the paving portion. Mayor Williams: All of these items from A through E are . alternates that we may or may not go ahead with depending on the grant. The state grant is close to five years old. We originally ' started with the state grant on the main apron extension. When we got such a good price on that we asked to move it to the airport safety zone project and when it wasn't all used there we moved it to the airport float plane project. Its getting to the point we need to use it in its entirety. Councilwoman Swarner: Has any of this work been started? Answer .: no. Bill Nelson: I wanted to explain the substitute change order. ;R The time we were putting together the original change order, we were negotiating a price with the contractor and we didn't have '. any numbers to put before you. Essentially, we are renegotiating t the price he placed in his original bid. The original project had ' 4 a paving price of $19/sq. yrd. which was high due to small quantity. $7.20/sq. yrd. was for a larger quantity. As a matter of comparison, Marathon Road was paved over an existing road bed ' with D-1. That was $13.60/sq. yrd. I think you're getting a good price.- . There were some cheaper prices for the apron, but again that is a much larger volume. On the gravel for the road, that road was constructed at no cost from existing materials and is loose sand. What we're trying to do at this point is make it an improved road for safety and all weather use. It is really a dramatic improvement and I think it will be quite a complement to your tourists. r �1 KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES i, SEPTEMBER 21, 1988 PAGE 11 VOTE: Motion passed Swarner - no Williams - yes ,i Bailie - yes Measles - yes Monfor - no O'Reilly - yea Council recessed for 10 minutes. D. COMMISSION/COMMITTEE REPORTS 1. Council on Aging Shirley Henley: The Seniors have two concerns; one is the expansion of the Senior Center and the second is work on the congregate housing facility, i.e. the feasibility study that was presented to the Council in April. The first is that we would like to do whatever is necessary in getting these two projects under way and we thought it would be a E good time to bring this to your attention and perhaps when the new w} legislators are elected they be apprised. Is there anything further that the Council could do to help these projects progress? Councilwoman Bailie: That was during the time I was not here, please bring me up to date. City Manager Brighton: There was a bill introduced to appropriate money for the congregate housing and that was the extent of it. Since the last session was the second session of the legislature, every bill that was introduced that did not get passed is now gone off the board so it will have ,,... to be.'reintroduced in order to get consideration from the " legislature. There were no capital improvement projects funded beyond the "works bill" they appropriated for highway services. sf� We will have to start the process all over if we anticipate getting funding from the legislature. As you know the legislature appropriated the money for the feasibility study which is done, each one of our legislators have a copy so nothing more need be done in that area. It is my - understanding that there is going to be a bill introduced to relieve the Pioneer Home to create another sort of housing for the seniors. That has not been brought to the floor with finalization with all the intricacies involved. It was our hope that they would take our bill and use it as a pilot program to provide housing for seniors to make a comparison between it and the pioneer homes on the basis that this could be done a whole lot --- - • - - - cheaper, but it didn't develop that way. - -.- - ----- — Mayor Williams: I might suggest that one method of handling this j might be to compare resolutions for passage by the Council requesting the re -introduction of the bill in the next L r KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES !� SEPTEMBER 21, 19aa 1 PAGE 12 j - legislature. We can prepare resolutions to cover both projects and they can become part of our capital works request and I think those resolutions can be introduced as soon as possible. About capital requests, I have been in meetings over the last few months with legislators and government people from around the stat4 and at the rate the price of ail is changing r.igbt now, there may not be any capital budget money this year, however that is still yet to be seen. Councilwoman Bailie: This would be something that would benefit the whole peninsula and not just the City. Reading in the paper ,1 about the Borough's new approach to their funding from the legislature, they -were looking for projects that would benefit the unincorporated areas or I would certainly hope would benefit the + " Borough as a whole. i Shirley Henley: Our other concern was for the expansion of the present senior Center. It is extremely over crowded especially at meal time. There is a drawing the seniors have been working on that will fit our needs. Mayor Williams: Again I say that could be a second resolution brought to us for adoption and perhaps could be run through as a ' separate vehicle or special request legislation. Do you have a figure for the cost of the expansion? Answer from Director " Porter: Between $300 000 to $400 000. Mayor Williams: That is {- y ` an entirely different legislating matter. I would suggest this one be handled separately as a special request. Councilwoman Monfor: When the paving is completed for swires, „ could we pave the second parking lot at the center? Answer from PW Director Kornelis: Are you talking about adding it to their -, project? I have no figures on it. That is a road project and I'm hoping that we can get it before the end of the year. Councilwoman swarner: We met last week and they have set the date for their fashion show as December 2nd. The ticket co-chair is Betty Warren. 2. Airport Commission Councilwoman O'Reilly: There was a work session on September 16th and we will be assessing their recommendation later on in the f meeting. Mayor Williams: There will be a tour tomorrow at 2 1 P.M., meet in Randy's office. ' 3. Economic Development Commission Mayor Williams: No meeting. The final report on detachment is a hopefully due at the next meeting on_Octo-or 13-th._ I -visited -with - r. - l.._ -` - Nikiski contingent today, wanting an update. Mayor Williams asked !. - if there were any response from the questionnaire they sent out, they had. There was some discussions that didn't go too well at 'Y - . � 4 3 � k • ��, J e f, KENAI-CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES SEPTEMBER 21, 1988 PAGE 13 f the Borough Assembly last night and as a result, the interest is again stirring. 4. Harbor Commission PW Director Kornelis: We met Monday night, however, there were only three people. We went through the agenda anyway and there is a memo under D-4 for you. Council had requested Harbor Commission - suggest a representative for the Kenai River Management Board who will be Tom Thompson. Mayor Williams: With Council's approval I will go ahead and recommend appointment of Mr. Thompson. He has been on the Commission for some time and is familiar with the City. S. LibrarXComnission M Councilwoman Monfor: There was no meeting this month, however, beginning Sunday its "Ban the Book Week". The Library will be hosting a town meeting October 6th at 7 P.M. for a statewide study on the future of libraries in the state. j The new computer system is great, its like having a Master Card. l 6. Recreation Commission --� City Manager Brighton: The director went home sick today with the flu. Mayor Williams: We need two replacements on the Commission and we will deal with that later. 7. Planning & Zoning Commission Councilman Measles: I was out of town for their last meeting and the minutes are not in the packet so I don't know if they met. S. Misc. Commissions/Comnittoes None E. MINUTES } 1. *Regular Meeting, Sept. 7, 1988 Approved by Consent Agenda F. CORRESPONDENCE G. OLD BUSINESS 1. Board of Adiustment'Decision - Foster Bros., R/V Park i Mayor Williams: You have been presented with a draft of the Board of Adjustment's findings of fact and conclusion. It suggests that we take these home with us now and review these. Our next meeting A L 1 I KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES SEPTEMBER 21, 1988 PAGE 14 we will have to take action. I have been instructed by the Attorney that you call him immediately with any concerns or questions, deletions or other matters that will affect this draft. 2. Airport Terminal Renovation Airport Manager Ernst: We did not have a quorum, therefore it was a work session, however, they did present their ideas. I presented the six scenarios that have been brought up since Carmen first drafted the terminal renovation drawings. After review of those six, the Commission felt compelled to stay with the original design mainly due to the cost of engineering. They also felt that if someone were bidding for the space of the airport terminal bar or restaurant that probably those people -would have the backing to put in the equipment. We would do everything to facilitate putting in the equipment, i.e. the hookups, any electrical changes, etc. As Mr. Kluge stated in his letter at the prior meeting, most airport only furnish the area and the hookups. To facilitate this type of arrangement we may have to extend the lease to a 5 to 10 year lease, whatever it would take to recoup the cost of that equipment. That is the $126,000. Deleting the phasing was another recommendation. Begin this winter, close off the south end and go for the whole project and save $19,000. If we left the bar and restaurant open it would bring in about $8,000 in revenues. If you wanted to keep it open for the convenience of the public then you may want to spend the $19,000. They did not have before them what the inspection costs would be and it was never included in Carmen's cost either which makes an additional 8 - 10% of the $725,000. This bidding climate is probably the best it's ever going to be. Mayor Williams: I think if the Council rounds it out to $800,000 it would be about right. Council may make the decision, if they so choose to direct administration to bring back the necessary resolutions for us to proceed. I still have mixed emotions about spending $800,000 for the building without being able to see any addition to the economy to the City. In talking with Senator Steven's office, we still have not been able to ascertain the Navy's plans. I have not been able to pick out the figures in the budget for Alaska which would indicate an affirmative. However, there was $170 million for home porting of navy vessels but again not specifically for Alaska. I believe they may be in the Bangor Washington facility where they are introducing four more nuclear submarines. The navy hasn't appeared to have released any information at all. In lieu of not being able to come right out and say what the - navy's plans are or if we will ever see them, I cannot suggest to the Council that they -consider building this building unless they - think it would be a good facility to have at the airport to induce ,. some other type of industry. ---- - - - - - --- - t KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES SEPTEMBER 21, 1988 PAGE 15 Councilwoman O'Reilly: I was not on the Council at the time this was discussed, was that discussed with any frame of reference with regard the Navy's plans? Mayor Williams: No, not at that time. This is all new and is speculative and may never come about. I'd like to see the renovation of the terminal but if I thought there were any chance of drawing the Navy in with this building, I would rathet use the money to do that. Councilwoman Monfor: We spend the $800,000 what do we have left. Airport Manager Ernst: If you remember, we proposed that probably the best thing to do would be to leave the terminal fund intact which is somewhere in the vicinity of $600,000 and use the airport lands system money of which there is approximately $3,300,000 available. Councilwoman Swarner: I would see the renovation as a start of a bicentennial celebration because we want the airport terminal to be pleasant for visitors who are arriving and if you looked at it as phase one of the bicentennial celebration, you could justify it that way. City Manager Brighton: This may be a subject that the Council would want to hold over for their first work session on capital improvement projects where you can sit down and let your hair down about the project, look at it objectively to see what the end result would be, the advantages and disadvantages will be as opposed to trying to make a decision at this point. Mayor Williams: We can begin construction any time of the year. Airport Manager Ernst: The only reason it was brought before you tonight is if we were to go out to bid now, it could be completed by June of next year. Councilman Measles: I think what we need to do is make a decision and go because if you get much past early June you are into the tourist season. Airport Manager Ernst: We feel we can have a package together and have it out to bid and awarded by the end of the year and have construction in January. Mayor Williams: Let me say this, its going to be three weeks yet before the plan gets down to the plan. As I understand the report from the surveillance team was due out the middle of this month. The-Atuation may be the Navy decides they want us to join them as a partner and they do want to come in and we can find the money and go with the project later. The airport fund is there for economic development if it warrants spending a million dollars later and it develops we can discuss it then. It gives us a little more time to get an understanding what they're doing and look the plans over.

PW Director Kornelis: The only change * change tape and lost statement. Mayor Williams: The $51,000 the Chamber is talking about is future donations and still hasn't been totally identified. The Committee met on Friday afternoon and discussed at length the items needed to fill the $51,000 void. I indicated to them again that I was reluctant to bring anything back before the Council for approval with an unknown quantity even though I realized that the people in Anchorage is anxious to get the project moving. As you know the Chamber has a new director and the boardwalk committee is getting back in gear again and outlining the details and I think it would be best if we just set this matter aside until the next meeting. Council agreed. 4. Discussion - Priority List for Legislature a. Schedule Work Session The Council agreed on September 28th at 7:00 P.M. at the Library. S. Discussion - Aircraft Maintenance Building in Anchorage - Purchase of Blueprints Mayor Williams: I went to Anchorage and inspected the building. There are 400 tons of steel, a van -load of -pre -wired -electrical panels which are sealed and have been sitting for ten years, the boilers are intact, the equipment is intact, and was originally L I �1 W W 1i { s: 4 :' KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES SEPTEMBER 21, 1988 PAGE 17 intended for a maintenance hangar for Wein Air. I brought the plans back to go over with Keith and make some inquiries to the original building manufacturer. It has been said to me that the offered price is one half of what was paid for it in 1978. It has never been constructed. If I find that to be a true statement, it is a bargain. We will need a cost of putting it up on a square foot basis. If we need to go to bid under the Davis/Bacon Act it will cost more. 6. Approval of Change Order #3 - Float Plane Basin - Doyle Const. - $41,266.66 Airport Manager Ernst: The $41,266 is not applicable if you go to the 86 substitute and refer to the Finance Director's draft memo, this will cover us and trim it back to exactly the amount of money that we have available depending on the FAA approval of the projects. Councilman Measles: And the amount of the change order now is $160,580, answer yes. PW Director Kornelis: However that amount would be reduced according to FAA. MOTION: Councilwoman Bailie moved for approval of change order number 3 subject to FAA approval and funding, if FAA approval and funding is not forthcoming the City administration shall reduce the change order by the amount to stay within the appropriated budget, city administration is also authorized to increase the Nelson and Assoc. inspection contract up to 10% of the final change order amount, seconded by Councilman Measles.

Mr. Kornelis, Mr. LaShot, and the Mayor visited the office of budget and management for the Department of Intergovernmental Coordination. The primary purpose was to set the ground work for another Corps permit. When we arrived they appeared ready to say no until they found out that they were not looking at the same site we were. When we re -oriented them on the blue print and showed them the aerial photograph they changed. We left with agreements to keep in better contact. It looks like there will be little problem with the permit: They presented us with a list of things they want taken care of and engineering is taking care of that. They had pulled together engineers -from DEC, Fish & Wildlife, OMB, and Fish and Game for this meeting. : 14; i ■-. - - KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES SEPTEMBER 21, 1988 PAGE 19 years ago has not been dealt with. In order to deal with RV's anywhere in the City we are going to have to make some adjustments to the zoning ordinances as they now exist. With that in mind I didn't want to pick anyone who is either too much on one side or the other in the controversial issue facing us with the Foster project and I did have three applicants who were very much either pro or can to that project. I wanted someone who was neutral and yet had some understanding of RV park operations. It turns out that Mr. Dan Roberts has become very well educated in that problem in the last year. There exists in RV parks more problems with DEC than I had imagined and he brings with him a great deal of knowledge about what has to be taken care of. I again point out that there is still one position open and we can take some time to think about that and if you have suggestions, please come back with them. There were no objections to Mr. Roberts. 2. City Manager a. The Economic Development District which is technically separated from the Borough at this point is going to meet with your Economic Development Commission on 10/13 and they would like as many members of the Council to come plus members of Planning & Zoning so that they can brief you as to what they think their chore is as economic development district for the entire Borough. Councilwoman Swarner: Was it announced at the last meeting that it would be in Homer? City Manager Brighton: No, it would be at Homer Electric conference room. b. Through the EDD, they are requesting some sort of expression from the Council as to whether you would favor or not favor the Borough adopting area wide harbor port powers. They will probably mention it to you at this meeting. AT the present time the Borough does not have the power to establish part and harbor as a practical matter at the site of Diamond Shamrock coal reserves. Meaning every where in the Borough except in the cities that have the power. Mayor Williams: I think that is a distinction that has to be made. City Manager Brighton: They did pass one but the Assembly tied the hands by saying we will adopt it but you can't spend any money on it. If there is enough positive reaction for this, then EDD intends to move in that direction to get enough support to get move ahead. 3. Attorney a. The EDD office is now in Kenai. b. You have in front of you some draft pleadings. Some time during the next weep please take a look at them. Get back to me s KENAI CITY COUNCIL, - MINUTES SEPTEMBER 21, 1988 PAGE 18 b. On Thursday morning I attended the RDC breakfast with Commissioner Hoffman from Community and Regional Affairs and met with people throughout the state who work with REDI grants. I learned a lot about why we received no REDI grants. This time when we got the letter from them, I found one of the criteria to be that none had applied to us so I disposed of the letter. There will be no recpiests for REDI grants this year. Kenai iR right between meeting the criteria for whether or not we can have one. C. Met with Ashley Reed along with Mr. Kornelis and Mr. LaShot. Mr. Reed is already been doing some work in the Governor's Office on our behalf. As soon as we are ready to talk with him about our legislative appropriations he will be meeting with us again. d. On Thursday I met with Charity Kadow and Governor's Office in Anchorage relative to our request for $950,000 to enhance the Seafood Industrial Park and she has arranged a meeting with the Governor on 9/26. e. I met with Bob Poe, Division Office of international Trade regarding the bicentennial and tourist development and how they can help us. The information will be turned over to Mrs. Carter. f. I met with Neil Johanssen regarding the upcoming legislative session and the reintroduction of the tourism bill in which 1 $400,000 will be added in for the continuation of the development of the Kenai River Viewing System. They have begun some work this year and hopes to keep moving it along each year. He again asked me about the $90,000 and when we will spend it. i' t., g. Regarding Info 14, a memo from Ron Garzini who is attempting G to set up a new body for economic recovery. He suggested that the City of Anchorage will kick in some $35,000 to fund this group and asked me to serve on the group along with other people listed on the third page of the report. In discussions with former Governor Sheffield, you will note that he is also on the list. He is very much in favor of it, however how the proper expenditure of the funding should be handled is still a question. Be aware that if they put this council or commission together it may take additional funding fro the City in the way of travel expenses. If Council has objections please let me know ahead of time. Their primary objective is looking at transportation projects. h. I am only going to request one appointment to a commission tonight although there are several that need attention. Planning & Zoning has two vacancies and I would like to appoint Dan I Roberta. There are five or six applicants for this commission. Knowing that the primary subject of many of the -planning_ Commission's meet meetings in the near future is going to deal with this RV situation, the City of Kenai has to come to grips with the fact -that if -we're going to -promote tourism -we're going to have to f make some provision for RV's in this Citv.

A consultant is coming from Juneau to look over all the libraries on the peninsula. It has been twenty years since there has been a comprehensive plan for libraries. This is in preparation for the White House conference next year. The state representative would like to have anyone interested in library service attend these meetings because they want to know exactly what people want. She doesn't want librarians. This will be 10/6 at 7:00 P.M. at the library. 2. Council a. Councilwoman Bailiee Has anything been done"with"the Municipal Park with the state, offering them another piece, answer - - no. Have we considered the possibility of Birch Island for a--- - replacement parcel?- Answer from Mayor Williams: Only in-house. They own half of that already. Councilwoman Bailie: in KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES SEPTEMBER 21, 1988 PAGE 21 Beautification is possibly going to be looking at the upgrading of the Municipal Park in some respects, but until we know for sure it is oure I wanted to know the progress. Mayor Williams: I might elaborate a little on the discussion with Neil Johanssen last week. As you recall, there was a management plan for the flats that was developed by their office and brought down to us for our approval and even though we all agreed that we weren't going to turn over ownership of that property to anyone, once the management plan was developed, ownership of the surface rights wound up in their hands and that became a major stumbling block. Fortunately, before we became too involved over it, the Fish and Game -Dept. became involved and they decided they want to rewrite the management plan their way. We may be able to trade off some of the surface rights and some of the wetlands which we know we won't be able to do anything with and they want to put into their long range protection. b. Councilwoman O'Reilly: I drove by Swires a couple times and it looks wonderful and is a great addition to the community. C. Councilwoman Monfor: This is homecoming weekend. There will be a parade downtown at 6:00 P.M. Friday night with a bonfire at 7:00 P.M. Saturday is the game and a barbecue from 11 to 5 and the money will go to the James Martin scholarship. Marj will be crowing the queen. This will be the biggest homecoming for Kenai in many years. Varsity has a 4 - 1 record and rates number 8 in the state. d. Councilwoman Swarner: Regarding Swires Road, is the contractor planning to pave into the school. Answer from PW Director Kornelis, yes. e. Councilwoman Swarner: I would like to see about getting more applications for the commissions and suggest you ask Rhonda Webb at the Chamber to announce it next Wednesday. K.

ALABKA TRONONI M-Ml ! s MEMORANDUM TO: WM. J. BRIGHTON, CITY MANAGER FROM: KEITH KORNELIS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR DATE: OCTOBER 16, 1987 SUBJECT: REQUESTS FOR NEW STREET LIGHTS FOR: CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 21, 1987 With the quickly increasing darkness we have been getting a lot of requests for new street lights. Please find attached: Attachment r1 - Letter from six (6) people requesting a new street light at Magic and Cinderella. This was on Laidlaw's list, Attachment C, Page 5, Item #4. Attachment B - This is a list of recently requested new street lights from the mayor and citizens. Only items 1, 6, and 7 are new requests. Item 2 - 5 have been requested before. (See to right of item) . Attachment C - This is where we left off last year concerning requests for new street lights. The ten (10) lights in VIP were completed. The other fifty (50) new street lights were engineered by HEA (and we paid them + $6,000 for engineering). However, because of budget reductions and lose of Federal Revenue Sharing the Council decided not to install any more new street lights at that time. Attachment D - Letter from resident requesting a light at Sycamore Circle and Walnut and Sycamore Circle cul-de-sac. This is a new request on Attachment-B, Page 1, -Item #6. As you -can see, we keep getting requests for new street --lights. I need some kind of direction or policy on handling requests for new street lights. Since just one light costs $1,800 - $1,950 or more, the Purchase Order will have to be approved by Council. I guess it is really their decision and maybe I should just continue to take the requests and simply give the list to Council and let them decide. -1- I have been calling HEA about twice a seek concerning the installation of the light at Swires and the Spur Highway. They said they'd have it in before November 2, 1987. i, I am still working on HEA - trying to get them to go to a11. unmeter04 street, lights where we will pay by the month for power and operation and maintenance. This way the City would be out of the street light repair business. I am also working on a street . ;._ light location study to determine if HEA is properly charging us. i f .0 A DEFT\STREETS\LIGHTS.MEM A OCT I 11981 Ole 4 A C cnr d - �! op Al:rr. 4 13, /07 C2 40c: vluw.t.. .4ol Oki PAGIS 1 ­0 "I 70il-w C I T Y 0 F KBE 210 FIDAI G KENAI, ALASKA "III TELEPHONE 213 -?US October 8, 1987 Homer Electric Association !

I keep calling Larry Sleight -about it but he said that it could be as long as November 2. Why'so long? We sent HEA the purchase order on September 2, 1987 and your engineer must have already had the light figured out in order to give us a price.

Li rn i COUNCIL DISCUSSION NEW STREET LIGHTT- i CITY OF KENAI "Oil ihd 4 4"" 1110 ADAWO smut, am" ""I � M"110149M.M" MEMORANDUM TO: Bill Brighton, City Manager FROM: Keith Kornelis, Public Works Director DATE: December 11, 1986 FOR: COUNCIL MEETING OF 12/17/86 SUBJECT: NEW STREET LIGHTS The Council has authorized and budgeted $900000 for 50 new street ! lights. Attachment A is the list of street lights that were presented to Counc in the fall of 1986 and approved. Notice that the first 34 were from Burton Carver Bus Company. Attachment 8 Is e copy of the purchase order to HEA for $19,500 to cover the Installation of 10 new lights in VIP. They have been installed. I have been waiting for the coats to install the remaining 40 lights from HEA. They came and looked at the locations on December Sp 1986. Attachment C is a new list (to replace the old list) of new street lightrequests. I worked with the Laidlaw dispatchers (who finally ended up giving each bus driver a form I made up) to come up with a new list of bus stops that need a new street light. Page 1 of i Attachment C shows 28 new light requests made by Laidlaw Bus Drivers. Page 2 shows the remaining new street light requests made by various people. Jack LeShot and I drove around town and crioritized the new street light requests. This is merely a Public orks recommendation as to priority, not to absolute need. I feel that even though lights are a safety item they are still a luxury not an absolute need. Public Works recommendation for First Priority consists of 12 new lights. With the 28 requests -from Laidiaw -end -these-12--we have the - - - --- - -- -- - 40 new lights that are budgeted. Notice that each group of new lights are listed in alphabetical order-. - - --------------- Page 3 shows 11 new light requests that I would suggest not be i considered. Also page 3 gives a summary of the number of lights requested. ATTACHMENT C PAIGE These new lights have been estimated to have a capital cost of , around 51g800 each or less depending on if there is an existing pole or transformer nearby* The new lights would not be metered and the costs for maintenance and energy would be $13.53/each per month plus $15 service or billing charge. Therefore the costs for 40 new lights would be $556.20 per month or $6p674.40 per year. If we were to do all 65 lights it would covet $894.45 per month or $109733.40 per year. KK/sw s� N S. r 5 r I.

I was assured street lights would be installed the following spring. Until now, lack of street lights has been nothing more than a minor inconvenience. Now there are several elementary school children using this street to walk to and from school. This is not a question of economics, I would gladly pay for electricity used by these lights. I use outside house lights, at critical times they simply do not provide enough light. The point, however, is the rest of Woodland Sub. has street lights and since our property assessments are based at least in part on these services ( how else could a 75ft. X 150fte lot be assessed at $15000.00 ) we should have them too. Should you decide to install them, a light at the corner of Sycamore 6 Wal- nut and one at the apex of the cul-de-sac on Sycamore Circle would be ade- quate. Respectfullys 4 eve A.

This is a rough estimate for your budgetary purposes. If you require a firm estimate, we will require payment of the engineering costs of S% of the preliminary estimate, or $1,000.

Burgess, Executive Direc RE: "Draft 1989 Policy Statement" Attached you will find a copy of the draft AML Policy Statement for 1989. Please review this document, discuss it with local government officials in your community, adoptitisnorltoMsuggest somecal changes. You will note that the AML Legislative Committee and the Board of Directors have already made some changes in the document from last year. First 1s the addition of background/explanatory material to the document. The addition of background information will make the Policy Statement a more useful reference document for both AML staff and individual municipal officials in their lobbying efforts. This longer and more complete document will be distributed to members, but it will not serve as the Leagues main advocacy document, as it has in the past. Instead, as was explained in the September AMA Newer, a "Municipal Platform," which highlights the priority issues for municipalities for the year, will be prepared and distributed to legislators, the administration, and the press. The hope is that legislators will take the time to read the shorter platform document, which will include short background pieces on each issue, and thus get a more comprehensive understanding of AML priorities. The Policy Statement will continue to exist as a statement of municipal policy on a wide variety of issues, and it will be available to anyone who is interested in seeing our position on these issues. The second major change involves reorganization of some sections. The Land Use and Resources sections were combined, and some Resources sections were moved to the Economic Development section. Various other sections were moved to create a more coherent document. Please refer to the Table of Contents attached if you are having trouble finding a specific section that may have been moved. As in the past, all proposed deletions are bracketed and proposed policy additions to the Policy Statement are underlined for your reference. Since addthe explanatory material -is new, -however, it is not underlined. In ition, each individual policy statement proposed for the 1969 document is -in bold type. Material not in bold is either explanatory -material or material that the committee proposed be deleted. You will note that not all policy statements are followed by explanatory material and that the quality of the backup information varies. Developing L� McMUM OF TML NATIONAL LBAOUR OF CITIES AND THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES L 9 11 ors r 23, 1988 backup information for the entire statement may well take a couple and refining the Policy Statement will be a major task of the 1989 ve Committee. to that all new Policy Statement material introduced at the Conference Must bp,supported by explanatory/backup i_ nformijo D that in this draft document.

STATE ASSISTANCE IN FINANCING LOCAL GOVERNMENT 1. s Nun1c1- palitles in Alaska presently derive s gn ficant revenues from state - collected, locally shared taxes and licenses to help not their basic operating expenses. The League, therefore, opposes reduction of such revenues through elimination of such taxes and licenses, unless other equal sources of revenue are made available to local govIrnments or appropriations to compensate for lost revenues are made by the State. There are several state -collected taxes and licenses that are shared with municipalities. These state -shared taxes constitute a signifi- cant resource for many municipalities. The reduction or elimination of such taxes shifts to municipalities the burden of supporting the programs that are supported by state -shared taxes and licenses. If the State reduces or eliminates a state -shared tax or license, it should replace that revenue source to the municipality with one that reliably and dependably produces at least the same revenue in the future as was produced by the state -shared tax. Z. Forward Fundines The League urges the Legislature to estab- lish a forward funding program for the municipal assistance, munici- pal revenue sharing, school foundation, and school construction that the program ley bin eefully implemented ds atrthe earliestspossibie so date. Because a substantial number of public programs including education, are administered at the local level with partial funding by the State, it is necessary for municipalities to know during their budget process how much will be made available by the State of Alaska for such programs. All municipal programs and services suffer when the Legislature does not provide the anticipated level of fundinngg for a specific municipal program after the municipal budget and mill levy have -been set. It then becomes necessary to -reallocate funds -from other programs to adequately fund state -assisted programs that receive less than the municipality had anticipated and planned for. Forward funding would eliminate the guesswork and unanticipated short funding of municipal programs that now occurs. We commend the Draft 1989 policy Statement - 2 - Taxation and Finance Legislature's early passage of education funding measures during the 16th session and encourage continuation of this practice because it aids local budgeting. 3. Usk of P p,t,Fund Earnings for�,µgjgjRal Sueoorts The League supports the use of Perisanent Fund earnings for revenue sharing, municipal assistance, foundation formula, and school debt reimbursement if a statewide ballot shows that Alaska•s voters support the use of the earnings reserve account. 4. Fundino of Local Cagital ProJaacts: This League supports the -- -- - establishment, by statute, of a 'block grant" approach to a ppoortion the of the state funding of local capital projects in order to allow { decisions regarding local capital project priorities to be made at the local level. Each year the Legislature appropriates monies for certain local projects that may not be in the local capital improvement program and _ may possibly even be counterproductive to the local capital program. A block grant approach to the funding of local capital projects would the degree of coordination of capital projects at the local Mel delivery of local level that is required for the most effective - services. Ad■lnistralion oLfirag and Entitlements: The League sup- . ports legislation simplifying and standardizing grant programs and .i prohibiting the addition of special conditions to grants by a state agency where such conditions are not contained in the apyropriation The League . or the authorizing legislation for the grant program. fees deducted by state further supports elimination of administrative departmants administering the grants. The League opposes any re- strictions on the retention or use of interest earned on grant funds. The State and municipalities both serve Alaskan citizens. Alaskan municipalities, as instrumentalities of the State of Alaska have similar goals: that is, to expend the public resources in a manner ,! that provides the greatest good for the public. The imposition of ' numerous restrictions on grants to municipalities is not only un- necessary but causes municipalities to make wasteful expenditures for unproductive activities that do not contribute to the accomplishment of the purpose of the grant. Further, the deduction by state agen- cies of a fee for grant administration additionally reduces the amount of grant funds available. The task of administering grants is one of the necessary duties assigned to the particular agency administering the grants, and the cost of such administration should be a general fund budget item for the administering agency. 6. pass-Throuah Funds and grants: The League encourages the Le islature-to_make-approp�lations-to-nonprofit corporations and other named recipients under the provisions of AS 3 .08.316 rather - than making such grants to municipalities as "pass -through" grants I • j Draft 1989 Policy Statement - 3 - Taxation and Finance C) under As 37.05.315. The League further encourages the Legislature to amend AS 37.05 to permit grants that municipalities reject for lack of power or other reasons to be processed as grants under AS 37.05.316, which would allow the State to make the grants directly to a qualified nonprofit organization. When a municipality accepts a grant under the provisions of AS 37.05.315 for the construction of a public facility, the munici- pality covenants that it will operate and maintain the facility for l , its practical life and that it -will not look to the State to operate or maintain the facility or pay for its operation or maintenance unless the grant is for the repair or improvement of an existing j. state facility. Although AS 37.05.316 provides a mechanism for making grants directly to named recipients other than municipalities (e.g., private, nonprofit organizations), the Legislature continues ` to make "pass -through" grants to municipalities. These pass -through 1 rants are intended for specific, named recipients to perform specl- ic functions or for specific capital improvements. Pass -through l grants are sometimes made to a municipality for projects that are either extremely low on its priority list or are, in fact, projects { that the municipality opposes. Many times, the grant is for a purpose or function the municipality does not even have the power to perform itself. in spite of this, the municipality is expected to accept the pass -through grant and covenant with the State that it 1 will operate and maintain the public facility to be constructed under the grant even though the facility is to be owned, operated, and controlled by a private organization and even though the municipality may not have the power to perform the function. For these reasons, l the Is should either make pass -through grants appropriations under AS 37.05.316 or provide a mechanism under AS 37.05.316 that would permit the Department of Administration to convert section 315 p b municipality to section 316 grants. 4 grants that are declined y a p Such a system would probably increase the efficiency of the grant system as it would eliminate the expenses associated with having to pass such grants through a municipal "middleman." 7. Matching Qrants: 1n the state programs that require local match, the matching requirement should be imposed on all grantees. Because of the reduced availability of funds to continue to make grants to municipalities and named recipients under AS 37.05.316 and .316, proposals have been made to initiate a matching requirement for grants made to municipalities. The benefits to be derived from a matchingg requirement will arise not only in municipal grants but in grants to other -entities as well. The willingness -of the rant 9 recipient to shoulder a portion of the grant project costs 1s indi- - cative of how -important -the -grant is --to the recipient. -if a matching requirement is established for rants, it should apply across the board to all grantees, and not just to municipalities. L L -,1 Draft 1989 Policy Statement - 4 - Taxation and Finance rd B. MUNICIPAL ASSISTANCE/REVENUE SHARING PROGRAMS 1, Revenue Sharinet a. The League supports the State Revenue Sharing Program. In order to provide more predictability of payments under the program and to insure that the benefits and burdens of changes in state revenues are shared equitably by state and local government, changes in the annual appropriation by the Legislature to the State Revenue Sharing Program should be based on such criteria as state populations inflation, cost of local government services, and other timely con- siderations. b. In those cases in which legislation is approved increas- ing the state revenue sharing entitlement for specific recipients or for a specific purpose, the League advocates that the total funding for state revenue sharing be increased accordingly in order to preclude the dilution of funding to other recipients. c. The League supports an increase in the state revenue sharing minimum entitlement. d. The League supports full state funding for road main- tenance at the $21,500 per -mite level and ice road maintenance at the :1,500-per-mile level determined by the First Session of the 11th State Legislature. The League also supports the adjustment of that amount to reflect the increased cost of maintenance. The League also urges that the Legislature add an entitlement for winter trail staking. The delivery of public services is the primary purpose of state and local government and can best be implemented through a cooperative state/local partnership. The State, with its acknowledged superior •*. access to public resources, has recognized that many public services are more effectively delivered through local government and that state resources should be used to assist municipalities in delivering r: such services. In order to maintain the appropriate level of locally delivered services, revenue sharing and the various municipal assis- tance programs should be adjusted annually based on factors that are relevant to the services to be delivered. This would make the ' p mp rogram more rational and improve predictability of funding levels. In addition, such funds bepartially funded at an adequate -- -- - of level at tine beginning of the fiscal year so that municipalities are i not required to "borrow" from other local funds to support the -- - - - - - - State's share of such programs. L r Draft 1989 Policy Statement - 5 - Taxation and Finance Z, dyplgjoa1 assistance: The League supports the continued funding of Municipal Assistance at the highest teveI possible. - •p9le i. Where formula funding is established, the Legislature should fully fund such formula programs so that municipalities may rely on such formulas for budgetary purposes. 3. b Math Da -terminations The League supports the use of f orallyaccepted demogra ohic techniques (to determine, annually, fm Lion of resident population for urooses 2LARrevenue sharing and manic pal assistance grogra■s. Population determinations for revenue sharing and municipal assis- tance should be made on a basis that cannot be distorted to favor one area of Alaska to the detriment of another. Legislative adoption of federal census guidelines would assure unbiased determinations. In the absence of federal guidelines, only accepted demographic tech- i niques should be used. l 4. ,litii ` The League strongly supports funding of hospital and health facility grants outside the municipal revenue sharing program. Although each municipality generally requires a hospital or health facility to adequately serve the needs of its residents health f facility construction and operation are heavily controlled by the Department of Health and Social Services. It would be more appro- priate to fund aid to hospitals and health facilities under appro- priations throughdtheomuniciipalrrevenuefsharing programial Services rather 1 i g. Fisheries Taxs The League supports an offshore fisheries business tax revenue sharing program. { Offshore fisheries activities outside municipal boundaries create i substantial onshore impacts. Municipalities are adversely affected by such activities and should share in fisheries business license and any other tax revenues in relation to the onshore impacts caused by offshore catching and processing activities. 1 C. LOCAL TAXES I 1. L imi ationg on Tax Levine Authority: The League opposes any -efforts -by - the State that would reduce local tax bases, 1-imit local tax -levying authority, or adversely affect the marketability of municipal bonds. A. 4"" Draft 1989 Policy Statement 6 - Taxation and Finance 2. StlSe-NandAW LKqMionst a. The League opposes the imposition of state -mandated exemptions of certain classes of pro rtyl individuals, organi- zations, or commodities fro the app Icat an of taxes unless full compensation is mado for revenues lost due to these exemptions. If the reimbursements for state -mandated exemptions are not fully funded, currently or in the futures the exemptions should be re- pealed* In Implementing state policies, the Legislature has created required tax exemptions from local property taxes for certain classes or r. property individuals, organizations, or commodities. As it is a state PONY or grogram that requires these exemptions, the burden of the exemptions should fall an the State, and not the local govern- q ment. if the State is going to establish such exemptions, it should fully reimburse the municipalities for revenues lost because of the exemptions. If the State Is not going to fully fund such losses, the exemptions should be repealed or suspended. be The League supports U ion of ski a reason. able and equitable solution [which I would substantially diminish the current fiscal (impact to) municipalities caused by the operation of the Senior CM a led Veterans property tax Zen/0 sob Assessment 20 exemption program and Farm Use oat Particular attention is called to the Senior Citizen/Disabled Veteran property tax exemption program and the Farm Use Assessment program, which have been underfunded or zero -funded in recent years There are ways the cost of these programs can be reduced through regu- lation; however, because the State mandates local participation and administrations it has the responsibility of funding reimbursement at least to the level of local revenue lost. Regulations that would reduce the state cost of these programs include stricter residency requirements, such as those for the J Longevity Bonus Program and restriction of residence and place of abode to a single legally described parcel used as a residence. 3. --- 641jeus The League endorses the establishment of a program for payment -in -lieu of taxes for improved state property and state public corporation lands within a municipality. Property owned by the State of Alaska or public corporations (e.g., the Alaska Railroad) within municipalities requires local public services just as does property owned by private entities. Because state. -owned property is exempt xempt from local taxation, those munici f Improved i panties that have a dispropirtionately large amount C state property within their boundaries bear a disproportionate share the-burdenofproviding-public services o such property.- A of -the t J" e*) r r K Draft 1969 Policy Statement - 7 - Taxation and Finance payment -in -lieu of taxes or permit to tax would reduce this disparate burden. 4. g Jo Tax: The Lea ue*opposes any further state effort to levy a property tax that would infringe upon the rights of local wooerhin thi taxing jurisdiction. the m rate of tax as levied on other property The property tax is the mainstay of local government revenues and is the traditional source of revenue for most municipalities within the State and the nation. The State should leave this source of revenues to municipalities so that they are not put in a position of competing with the State in this field of taxation. Municipalities that do not optionally exempt motor vehicles from personal property taxation but have elected to levy taxes through a motor vehicle registration tax are increasingly aware of dispropor- tional and inequitable treatment of tax on vehicles as compared to V:j other forms of personal property. The tax schedule in AS 28.10.431 was adopted in 1978 and has not been revised since that time. Local officials estimate that the registration tax is less than half of the local revenue that could be generated by local levy of personal property tax. a. Maiver of Tax_collactiions The League endorses legislation to permit the waiver of collection of taxes when collection costs exceed taxes due. Because there is no method of exempting from taxation certain proper- ties that have little value, municipalities are placed in the posi- tion of having to attempt to levy and collect a tax on such property that does not even pay the cost of assessing the property and collecting the tax. Municipalities should be given the option of either exempting such property or waiving the collection of such taxes where collection costs exceed public benefit. : The League endorses the repeal of the sales tax limit contained in Title 29. Because a sales tax must be approved by the voters before it may be implemented, there should be no statutory -limit on the rateof sales tax a municipality may impose. if the voters in a municipal-ity des-tre_to tax themselves at a rate higher than is currently autho- rised by statute, they should be permitted to do so. - I C:: Draft 1989 Policy Statement - 8 - Taxation and Finance B. Tax Liability for Certain State Agency Prooartieas The League supports legislation to require payment of property taxes by state agencies for real property owned by the agency for investment Agencies of the State and federal government are treated differently as regards local property tax on property obtained through default or foreclosure. MFC and HUD are two agencies that commit through regulation or legislation to pay local property tax in realization that local services contribute to the value of their property. Farmers Home Administration, Public Employees Retirement System, and Teachers Retirement System are also government agency investors who obtain property through default, but they do not pay local property tax, claiming exemption under AS 29.45.031(a)l. AIDA property does not contribute to local services. 9. kMI Manufacture Taxes: The League endorses legislation that would amend AS 29.45.050(j)[, permitting] to jermit a local option exemption from property taxes for inventory used in the in -state manufacture of product. _The Leaeue_also _suoRgrts threg- The League recognizes the critical need for permanent jobs and employment stability in local communities. Where property tax incentives are meaningful in attracting manufacturing or value-added Industry using the human and natural resources of the State, exemption incentives may be an economic development tool. This philosophy applies not just to timber but to other natural resource inventories. In any case, adoption of such an incentive should be by ordinance approved by the voters and have specific duration of three to five years, at which time the industry can be proven viable to the extent of sharing the burden with other taxpayers. The League recognizes that expansion of optional exemptions from property taxes involves more than preferential treatment of classes of owners or property. Issues of public benefit, effects on formula funding revenues, changes in tax burden on other property owners, and competitive market influences are a few considerations to be weighed. As these factors affect the public generally, adoption of local exemption should only be through ordinances approved by the -voters-, Further, in recognition of changing conditions and public needs these W. Draft 1989 Policy Statement - 9 - Taxation and Finance exemptions should only be considered with provision of a sunset in three to five years. y y_ 11. fDisclosur_ a oft Real oronerty Transaction Values The League urggees that [, should 1L the Alaska Legislature enactit [any - form of] legislation requiring ([disclosure] ���rtina of real pro- rrty transaction values, such ie islation also require that these isclosures] reports be shared with the [local] aonro_,_,� late munici- pol ities. t Alaska is one of only fourteen states in the country that does not require recording of real property transaction values. The American Bar Association's proposal for sale price reporting, new IRS re- porting requirements, and national links of market data to financial institutional failures all make it likely that the State of Alaska will seriously consider or be forced to consider full reporting legislation in some form in the near future. Since municipalities are required to base local property tax on full and true value, it is equally important that any price reporting data be made available to local municipalities if uniformity and equity in assessment are to be maintained. 0. PUBLIC EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT The League urges that [in] any legislation [which] = in- creases the cost of the Public Employees Retirement System or the Teachers Retirement System due to increased benefits require the cost t to be borne by contributions from the employees. The League urges the Leeggislature to require fiscal notes to address the impact on each participating municipal employer if any amendments are made to the Public Employees Retirement System and the Teachers Retirement System. II Because municipal employees, including teachers, are members of the Public Employees Retirement System or the Teachers Retirement System, municipalities are affected by changes made by the Legislature to either retirement program. Many times proposals are made to change a retirement system without focusing on the increased cost to munici- palities that such changes will cause. Because the municipality has no control over the retirement system and any increase in retirement benefits will decrease funds available for other municipal services, any increase in retirement system costs resulting from legislative j action should be borne by the employees who will benefit from the 1 increased retirement benefits. Additionally, in order to assist municipalities and the Legislature in evaluating changes to the __retirement systems, fiscal notes accompanying such legislation should include in analysis of the fiscal impact on each of t e participating -- - — - municipalities. f i F Draft 1989 Policy Statement - 10 - Taxation and Finance E. HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES 1. Utilization of Local Health FI,i itiess The League urges the state and federal agencies responsible for health care to use local health facilities and to transport patients to regional centers only when necessary services are not available locally. Local health facilities whether municipally or privately operated, are essential to the welfare of each community. The greater use that is made of local health facilities, the wider the range of services the facility can offer the community. State and federal agencies that place patients in health care facilities can contribute to the increased availability of health services by ensuring maximum use of local health facilities. 2. Hospit&I an lity Funding: The League supports state assistance for hospital and health facility construction and operating costs so long as such support does not negatively (impact) gffect existing levels of municipal assistance and revenue sharing funds. 3. OMactine of State Health and Social Services: The League endorses the contracting out of state health and social services where cost effective. 4. : The League supports a program to cover the cost of transporting patients to regional health care facilities for trestavent in a medical amergancy. Many communities in Alaska are small and in remote regions that are not connected by road to urban areas where extensive medical services are available. The citizens of such areas should have adequate access to such regional facilities when required in a medical emer- gency. State support of the cost of air or sea transportation of patients requiring emergency medical treatment would improve such access. 3. Child Cargs The League urges adequate state funding for communities panic pacing in the child care program. 4. Adult Day cares The League urges adequate state funding for cosmuunitiss participating in the adult day care program. F. FISCAL NOTES/GOVERNMENTAL MANDATES 1. Fiscal Notes: The League supports enactment of legislation - requiring -the -State to proper*.- In consultation with the -impacted - - local governments, notes assessing the fiscal impact on local govern- ment of any proposed bill or regulation, including pass -through grants. Draft 1989 Policy Statement t{ a . 11 - Taxation and Finance Numerous bills are introduced each year that would have an impact on the cost of the operation of the local governments. However, it appears that no analysis and. little thought are given to the actual impact such legislation would have on affected municipalities. In order to assist the municipalities and the Legislature in making informed decisions about such legislation, fiscal notes assessing the fiscal impact on local government of such bills are necessary. 2. 69IM3001 s The League urges passage of legis- lation that would requ re the transferring governmental agency to reimburse municipalities for costs they incur in programs or activi- ties mandated or transferred by the state or federal government at other than the request of the municipalities. Proposals are occasionally made to require municipalities to under- take programs or activities for which there is either inadequate or no reimbursement. Proposals that shift the burden of such programs to municipalities should provide adequate reimbursement to the municipalities for the administration of such programs. G. FEDERAL ISSUES i. Vsdecal Asgistance: The League supports federal recognition of the federal -local partnership in providing governmental services to citizens through federal assistance to local governments. 2. outer Conti tal Sbelz M Revenue ShIringi The League endorses enactment by the United States Congress of an CC$ revenue sharing program, to be funded annually from the proceeds of the oil and gas lease sales on the OCS at a fair and equitable level. The League also endorses an automatic direct pass-throu h of a fair and equitable amount of the States allocation to commities affected by OCS activities. the vague endorses the concept that the State's and communit as, a location of OCS revenue sharing funds be used for coastal planning, resource protec- tion programs, construction of capital infrastructure resulting from direct OCS activity, and health and social service needs resulting from OCS activity. For the past several years, federal Ocean and Coastal Resource Management has expected state coastal districts to rewrite portions of their plans making concessions to accommodate the oil and gas industry. This creates extra work for state agencies and coastal districts developing coastal plans at the same time federal funding is being cut. Coastal districts have accommodated the industry as much as possible, often compromising their --plans more than they would have liked in order to obtain federal approval. Since the compro- mises to oil -and gas -made by coastal districts will enable_explorw tion and development to occur with fewer restrictions.and impedi- L ;t _. 12 Taxation and Finance Draft 1989 Policy Statement - - ments, an OCS revenue sharing program would help coastal communities make up for the negative impacts the development would cause. An OCS revenue sharing program would assist coastal districts that are or will be impacted by oil and gas activities. Monies could be used to further coastal planning; provide funds for port, harbor, and airport development and improvements, protect local populations from adverse effects of OCS oil and gas development and mitigate existing impacts; be used for clean-up plans, procedures, equipment and supplies should an accident occur; and provide for governmental services to fulfill needs created by this development near coastal communities. Direct pass -through of money to impacted communities would ensure that the funds are used for what they were intended. However, the State should be permitted to retain a portion of the funds to assist in providing support services to coastal districts.

LOCAL DEBT ' 1. Debt ti itstimits: The League opposes the imposition of limits on municipal debt other then those imposed by the Alaska Constitution and by the bond market because there are great differences between { municipalities in Alaska with respect to revenue sources, number and levels of functions performed, and needs -for -infrastructure infrastructure develop - Sent. The local government structure in Alaska is.quite different from that i i in other states. First, all local government power resides in cities r. C, CO 91M�d911i Draft l9eg Policy Statement - 13 - Taxation and Finance and boroughs; there are no independent special districts with inde- pendent debt issuing and taxing authority as there are to other states. For this reason, there are relatively few municipal issuers in the State of Alaska. Those issuers are financially stable and have a good bond -repayment track record. The growth pattern in Alaska is erratic and various areas have experienced extremely rapid growth, which places very heavy demands on the ability of the munici- pality to respond with the heavy capital investment required to most infrastructure expansion needs. The tried and traditional assessed - value -based methods of limiting local debt do not take into account such unpredictable demands and would make such limits unworkable in Alaska. The constitution prohibits general obligation debt except for capital improvements that have been approved by the voters. In most situations the voters will probably say "no" to new debt before debt limits are reached. Additionally, the bond market is sensitive to the amount of debt assumed by an issuer and its ability to rep&y such debt. These two mechanisms together should serve to establish a practical limit on local debt. Artificial limits that cannot take into account the varying needs of municipalities should be avoided. 2, IMU HannMt of Local Debts Because the establishoent of a machan ss for dealing with sun cipal bond defaults, when bond defaults have not occurred and when none appear isoinent, would give s the bond market a negative message about the fiscal stability of Alaskan nmicipalities, the League urges the Legislature not to establish such a mechanism. In the past, at least one legislative proposal has been made to establish a mechanism for state management of local debt in the event of a municipal bond default. Such mechanisms have been put in place in other states in times when there were municipal defaults. Putting such a mechanism into place in Alaska at a time when there are no municipal defaults, and none threatened, is likely to send a message to the bond market that there are anticipated defaults by Alaska municipalities. The Legislature should not attempt to fix something that is not broken when that attempt will do more harm than good. I. STATE -LOCAL FINANCIAL POLICIES AND [REGULATIONS] RELATIONS The M_SamM urges that in any study of state tax, debt, or financial structure or policy, the impact ong and of, municipalities [should] be covered, and there [should] be substantial input from municipalities in evaluat the structure and making recommendations. The policies and the structuring of state taxes, debt, and other -finances have a major impact on municipall-ties,.both direct and indirect. In either the study of state financial policy or the L 01 Draft 1989 Policy Statement - 14 - Taxation and Finance adoption of new elements of the state tax, debt, or financial struc- ture, municipal involvement should be sought and adequate conside- ration given to the impact on municipalities of such policies or changes. Z. Advil= GgWgsjon an InterpMDRUI&I Relationst The League urges the Legislature to establish a state -local intergovern- mental relations commission to study and make recommendations on the division and delivery of public services, the allocation of public resources, state activities, and mandates that impact the ability of local government to raise revenues and deliver services efficiently and the activities of municipalities that affect functions of the State. Although since statehood Alaska and its municipalities have grown and matured, the relationship of the State and its municipalities, the division of the delivery of services, and access to public resources have undergone dramatic changes in the last decade. Many of the changes were impelled more by short-range policies made feasible by the abundance of state revenues than by long-range policy considera- tions. With the recent instability in the source of state revenues and the continued decline of that revenue in the future, it is necessary for the State and local governments to work closely and cooperatively to ensure that the citizens of Alaska receive needed services through the most effective delivery system. At present there is no vehicle which provides the State, municipalities, and representatives of other interested entities with a mechanism for dealing with common problems and providing rational and mutually agreeable approaches to multi -level public sector problems. An advisory commission on intergovernmental relations has been in existence at the federal level for many years, and the commission has produced timely and relevant responses to mutual problems of the federal government, states, and municipalities. Other states have established similar commissions at the state level and have been successful in improving relations between the State and its munici- palities in developing rational and cooperative approaches to the division of public resources and the delivery of public services. In this critical time of declining state and local revenues, it is essential that the State and the municipalities not be jockeying in an adversarial sort of relationship but in a cooperative relation- ship. An advisory commission on state -local intergovernmental relations would provide the critically needed mechanism that could lead us to that end. {- -- ------- C` l Draft 1989 Policy Statement - is - Taxation and Finance As the production of Prudhoe Bay declines, the major source of state revenues will evaporate. it is essential that the State make neces- sary adjustments to the known loss of oil revenues in a planned and timely fashion. New revenue sources must be put in place as, and not after, the oil revenues decline. Similarly, if state programs and services are to be reduced or eliminated, an orderly and timely reduction or phaseout should be implemented to avoid the traumatic effects of sudden changes in state and local services on which citizens have come to rely. The League recognizes very major changes affecting the Alaskan economy and invites the Governor, Legislature, municipalities, and private sector organizations to join in development of a long-term economic plan to minimize sudden impact on citizens.

Funding for School:: Tha Alaska State Constitution mandates In Section 1, Public Education, that the State shall establish and maintain a system of public education, open to ail the children. Therefore, the League supports the States assumin.1 full financial responsibility for basic education coes0 Article VII, section I of the Alaska State Constitution states that "The legislature shall by general law establish and maintain a system of public schools open to all children to the State...." While this constitutional provision has never been judicially interpreted in Alaska, it is the position of ANL that the framers of Alaska's education establishment clause intended education to be a school child's fundamental constitutional right of a schoo-age child. The constitutional framers' elevation of education as a fundamental constitutional right means that the State has a paramount duty to fully fund the basic educational program. The funding of basic educational need must take place on a fair and equitable basis and avoid disparate impacts among various districts based upon the wealth and taxing ability of the district or upon how powerful that parti- cular district's legislator happens to be. Only recently the State has begun to recognize its duty to fully fund basic educational need and has eliminated some disparities in educational funding with the passage of House Bill 408. Even though House Bill 408 appears to have eliminated some constitutional disparities, components of the funding formula require further analysis. For example, the formula contains a four -mill -equivalency local effort requirement for educa- tion with an optional two -mill -equivalency local effort. Alterna- tively, a local government may increase local effort up to the product of 21 percent of instructional unit value (IU - $60,000) times the number of approved instructional units and the area cost differential. The additional two mill equivalency option and the alternative 21 percent option may cause impermissible disparities in the amount of educational funding a district receives from the State. The geographical differential component of the formula must be examined to ensure that the funding for basic education for a dis- trict is tailored to the actual cost of providing the educational services necessary for the State to fulfill its constitutional duty tar establish and -maintain a system -of public schools -open to - all children of the'State. Finally, the vocational, special education, --bilingual and correspondence programs, -which generate additional instructional units and additional funding for a district, must be - 16 - L Draft 1989 Policy Statement - 17 - Education examined to ensure the cost of the program is related to the actual service provided by the district. Another component of basic educational need is the cost of capital construction. During the "boom" years many municipalities were required to incur significant amounts of bonded indebtedness in order to provide for the basic educational needs of the expanding popula- tion of school -age children. To assist those municipalities the State adopted a program of bonded debt reimbursement. The program reimburses a municipality for a percentage of a percentage of the bonded indebtedness it incurred to build schools and related facili- ties. The reimbursement program is subject to legislative appropri- ation and may cause a significant fiscal impact to municipalities based upon the level of reimbursement authorized by the Legislature.. It is Ws position that basic educational need includes both the operational and capital construction components of the educational system. In order to meet the state's paramount duty and fundamental constitutional obligation to provide children with an education, the Legislature and the Department of Education should work in tandem to develop a constitutionally sufficient methodology to provide for the basic educational need of school age children. 2 Basic Edugational.tleed:_ The Le islature should establish a definition of basic education and an equitable funding formula that ensures basic education is provided. Defining basic education is the key to development of a fair formula for state funding of education. The development of this formula should involve the municipalities or districts that must fund the local share of education. The State of Alaska has never defined what constitutes basic educational need. Presently Representative Larson and Senator Binkley are jointly administering .a $170,000 study in an attempt to define the cost of providing basic education in Alaska. Previously, the officially set cost of providing a basic education was based upon a study involving cost of living differences in various localities throughout the State for state employees. Using this type of study to establish basic educational need provides inaccurate criteria from which to draw firm conclusions relative to the cost of education. In determining what constitutes basic educational need, the Legislature and the Department of Education should consider guide- lines concerning: a) Employment of instructional and classified staff; b Staffing ratios, and salaries; - c) Individualization of instruction to the handicapped, ltud gifted, below average, - and uniquey needy sents; - - - Y Draft 1989 Policy Statement - 18 - Education d) Recognition of unique demographical and geographical demands; e Local control; f Support services; and g Capital construction costs. Lo_,,,gta1_Autonomy to Pro dde Fundino: Full funding should not inhibit the rights of local government to supplement state or federal funding, or to administer local schools. AML supports the right of local government to supplement state or federal funding; however, it recognizes that educational revenue raised through local effort measured by a municipality"s assessed valuation may result in discrimination among children of various school districts since the education they receive will be based upon an impermissible wealth classification. Therefore, any school funding formula authorizing local foundation funding supplementation must operate to eliminate wealth disparities among districts. Ed. The League requests the Governor and the State Legis- lature to amend AS 14.17 to provide for a local effort requirement which is distributed on an equitable and statewide basis.] ForwaltIL The League strongly supports the use of forward fundin to prov a for basic education in order to provide stability in the budgeting process and in setting the mill rate. The 1987 legislative session considered a number of bills labeling themselves forward funding bills. The so-called "forward funding bills" operate to assist a school district in developing certainty in budgeting prior to the adjournment of the legislative session. However, a true forward funding bill would require the establishment of a yearly pool dedicating a sum of money equal to the sum required to fund school district budgets and invoking a mechanism to insure the integrity of that fund. Presently, any forward funding or early funding bill is subject to legislative appropriation, which may or may not be forthcoming. Reduction in Fors of Tenurad - hers: The League supports legislation that allows local school d strict$ to have a reduction in force of teachers (tenured and non -tenured) when either student enrollment decreases or funding is reduced. Title 14 of the Alaska Statutes currently provides that a school district may only reduce its teaching -staff -in the event of.a decline in student enrollment. While a decline in student enrollment may lessen the necessity fsr_teachers, a district should have the autho- rity to reduce its teaching force in the event of a funding shortfall based upon a decline in federal, state, or local revenues. This J r-- craft 1989 Policy Statement - 19 - Education approach provides a practical and logical solution to fiscal problems resulting from the uncertainty of funding of a school district. 6. CgMity The League recognizes the importance of community schools and supports adequate funding for the program. Community schools provide an integral link between the community and its citizens by promoting the advancement and development of learning and skills for citizens in school districts. Community schools are grassroots l-ronded curriculunmtforualltsegmentsnomust asschooludistrict'ssure population. 7. RIAIRM Transfer Agrej so The League encourages the State of Alaska to negotiate transfer agreements between the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the State to assure a maximum level of native education in the State by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. 8. F•rly Childhood Educations The League recognizes the importance of early childhood education and supports adequate funding for the dev*lopmmment, regulation, and maintenance of standards for preschool early childhood education programs. g. Banded Indebtedness: [a. The League supports continuation of the program for reimbursement to municipalities of school construction costs at levels sufficient to provide adequate facilities for education in accordance with the State's responsibilities under the Alaska Consti- tution.) a. If the need arises to reduce the liability of the State for reimbursement of new school debt �mder the eurrent_reimbursement prourM, the reimbursement ratio should be adjusted. Neither a statewide limit on total reimbursement obligation nor other limits not related to local needs or the willingness of the municipality to bear its share of the debt burden should be used. In the past, a proposal was made to place an absolute limit on the total state liability for new school debt reimbursement obligations. This proposal was the product of a perceived need to limit the State's obligation for such reimbursements in order to protect the State's bond rating, even though these are municipal bonds rather than state bonds and the reimbursement is always subject to appro- priation each year. The past proposals would have established the maximum total obligation that would be undertaken by the State to all municipalities, would -have -required all school debt be issued --for a ten-year term with level principal payments and focused almost -- --exclusively on the State's perception -of its needs -when addressing r.�� -r-•, �fr� • 1 Draft 1989 Policy Statement - 20 - Education ' the bond market. It did not, in any way, address the effect of such caps on the ability of Alaska -to meet its educational needs. In addition, it did not address the inequity of the different treatment that would be received by the last municipality to get under the cap j for reimbursement and the next municipality in line, which would be rejected and would have to bear the entire cost of its debt service for school construction. There is a substantial question whether the �'.. bond market sees the ongoing obligation of the State to reimburse new Municipal school debt as a detriment to the State's credit rating. In any event, while the League may oppose any additional restrictions - — or cutbacks in the school debt reimbursement program, if the Legisla- ture determines that it must reduce the State's fiscal burden arising out of school debt reimbursement obligations, the Legislature should reduce the reimbursement percentage for future bonds so that all municipalities will be treated equally in the future. [school o bt:t b. The League supports placing a proposition on the ballot for the next statewide general election that would enable "110; the State of Alaska to sell its general obligation bonds to refinance s all existing municipal school debt. i The League recognizes that there may be present or future benefit to the State in having flexibility to restructure existing school debt.' A ballot proposition would provide that flexibility if passed by the voters. c. The Legislature Must clearly establish the types of structures eligible for reimbursement. This requires defined Stan- dards and criteria for determining eligibility. Only such regu- lations as are necessary to carry out the legislative program should be adopted, and the statutes should clearly define the limits on regulations so as to prevent inadvertent alteration of the legis- latively established program. j d. The League opposes any effort by the State to reduce school debt reimbursement through deduction of interest earned on school bond proceeds. ri I e. The League urges the Legislature to fully fund the school debt reimbursement program at the levels provided by statute. k I 10. School finstruction Grant programs Should the State develop a school construction grant program, policies of that program should I be appplied equally to all school construction.

RECLASSIFICATION GUIDELINES The League urges the Legislature to set up guidelines to assist communities considering municipal reclassification, with regard to transfer of the educational system.] [C] A. ASSEMBLY/COUNCIL-SCHOOL BOARD RELATIONSHIPS The League supports legislation to clarify assembiy/council- school board relationships, and it opposes legislation which would diminish assembly council authority in education matters. The reason is that the assembly/council has the ultimate financial responsi- bility to the taxpayers. The assembly/councils are the only local governing bodies with the authority to levy taxes. With this authority comes responsibility and accountability to the voters and taxpayers of the municipality. To diminish the authority of the local governing body in any way weakens the important direct relationship between the elected body and the taxpayer. (0) f,. LIBRARIES AND MUSEUMS The League supports continued funding for grants to munici- polities in the State for the construction and equipping of libraries and museums. Libraries and museums are important facilities to provide meaningful educational, leisure, and historically interpretive activities in the municipalities of the State. These facilities help provide construc- tive winter -time diversion and add to the experience of visitors, who visit primarily in the summer. The State needs to continue support for these important cultural and educational facilities so the Alaskans and visitors alike can share in the knowledge and rich heritage of Alaska. [E] Q.

B. TRAINING The League urges the Legislature to assure, through state assis- tance, that local full-time and volunteer police, tiref emergent medical, and other emergency preparedness personnel throughout the State have access to adequate facilities and program resources for training.

E, Without transportation planning chaos would occur. Orderly planning is in the best interest of the state and local governments. 3. Muniginal jnvolvement: State transportation plans, includ- ing port and harbor facility plans, should be prepared and developed (consonant) 10 cowunction with with municipal plans and municipal transportation priorities. Such state plans must have direct municipal involvement if they are to be effective and not counterproductive, working at cross purposes with municipal plans. Coordinated planning can help avoid waste of local resources. B.

This reflects a response to the state effort to shift road mainte- nance responsibility on state roads to municipalities without trans- ferring any funds for that maintenance. C. AIR TRANSPORTATION Construction Assistance: The League supports an equitable h to state construction assistance 11or al public airports and approach of continued expansion and upgrading of airports, airport t i facilities$ and air navigational aids in Alaska. Because of the geographic diversity of the Alaska, almost all areas of the state need public airport facilities. These facilities require direct state funding on a long-term continuing basis, just as highways and other public transportation systems do. 2.

Expansion of the Alaska Nitipe H ahways The League supports legislation that will expand the Alaska Marine Highway to western Alaska and improve transportation to tie the central Alaska ports to the Aleutian and Southeastern ports. The League further supports the expeditious procurement and/or contracting of a number of appropriate oceangoing vessels to accomplish the expansion of the Alaska Marine Highway System. 2. Efficiencies in Operations The League supports efforts to provide efficiencies in the operation of the Alaska Narine Highway System providini these efficiencies are based on publicly available economic and tee nical data. However, the League strongly objects to any reduction in existing urine highway systems. The League strong- ly urges that an economic impact analysis be conducted and that a report an the findings and conclusions as well as community Input be required prior to establishing urine highway rates, schedules, and operational changes. The League requests that public Input for studies affecting the operation of the Alaska Marine Highway System be solicited an a statewide basis. 3.

The League endorses the concept of state technical and financial assistance to rural communities to improve the most basic sanitation facilities. The League supports an appro- priation level to meet the statewide needs of rural Alaskan communi- ties. g. NjpAs AssaiNIM: The League strongly urges the State, through the Department of Environmental Conservation, to assess the needs of communities for adequate and appropriate water waste water treatment, and solid and hazardous waste disposal facilities, in- cluding the need for operator training and assistance with facility maintenance. 4. d VAsta Reduction PrgprAns The League supports funding and implemental on of statewide solid waste reduction programs, e.g., recycling, litter reduction, waste oil recycling, etc. its and Loans far micess The League supports contin- ued fundingng t at would make direct grants and/or tow -interest loans available to the various essential utilities in the State so they may meet the needs of the citizens served by the utilities. 6. : The League supports the concept of direct grants and low -interest loans from state funds for the construction of conventional and alternative energy sources, so that rates paid by the Alaska consumer for these necessary ser- vices may be set at a reasonable level. 7. public Landfill: The League supports the concept of state established public landfill sites where no alternate sites exist to serve local and regional needs of small communities which are cur- rently bearing a considerable burden by complying with federal and state environmental regulations. W ISM Draft 1989 Policy Statement - 36 - Utilities Many landfills in Alaska pose serious health threats to the communi- ties who use them. 8. Low -interest Revolving_ Loan Fund for Mastawat� jreatiaent proms: The League supports the [concept of a] revolving loan fund for wastewater-treata+ent-related construction .egjala- tun _too anaroorlate -th2 StlIe"s 20 Qgtgg� share o hie fund. [with initial funding by the federal government of 80% and by the state government of 20% under the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation Municipal Grants Program.] The 1988 Legislature created the Alaska Clean Water Fund Appropria- tions Account, a revolving loan fund to provide project financing at a low interest rate for a variety of water and wastewater projects.. This fund is intended to provide a 20 percent match for federal money available under the terms of the Clean Water Act. The 1988 Legisla- ture did not appropriate funds for this account, and the League strongly encourages that such funds be appropriated immediately to allow projects to be constructed beginning in 1989. The loan funds available from this account would be considerably less expensive than bond market funds available to the communities in need and the account will be a self-perpetuating source of funds for water and wastewater projects in the State. 9. tM Cost Iqualizatipt The League supports a power cost recognizesothe program evaluate incentiveseforienergyrconseervatin! The Power Cost Equalization Program is a lifeline for most rural electric consumers, who are faced with electric cost averaging more than .40 cents a kilowatt hour, ten times the cost in Anchorage. N F� PART V I I MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS A. REGISTRATION The League supports efforts to improve the processing and quality of the voter registration system. B. [DISCLOSURE RESTRICTIONS] LOCAL FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE LAM [1. Service Area oa Advisory Brds: The League supports legis- lation that would exempt elected or appointed service area advisory boards from campaign and financial disclosure requirements.] APOC has neither the funding nor the staff to adequately enforce or audit municipal conflict of interest. Assemblies/councils take removal from office by APOC very lightly, but would look at it more seriously if it were a penalty of their own making. The APOC and staff have recommended legislation to this effect. C. [VOTER QUALIFICATION] REREGISTRATION OF VOTERS [I, Stttg Rgguiremepj: The League supports an amendment to Title 29, Municipal Code, to require a municipal voter to be registered to vote in state elections 30 days before the municipal election, or before signing a nominating or recall petition or an initiative or referendum petition. Present statutes are unclear on this. The registration list from the State is compiled for 30 days before the election, and election officials are unable to determine the validity of registration for anyone registering less than 30 days before the election. 2. Lodi Reauivement: The League supports legislation that would allow a municipality, by ordinance, to require persons to be registered within the State of Alaska and the precinct, district, service ss than thirty (30)adays immeor diately precediin ng theydateide of the municipal election.] [3• :] The League -supports current statute _lan uage which requires a voter who has been purged from the voter registration list in accordance with -AS 16.07.130,-'Elimination-of - Excess Names,• to reregister in accordance with AS 18.07.090. The -37- 1 Draft 1989 Policy Statement - 38 - Municipal Elections League also supports deletion of AS 15.15.198, "Voters Not on Offi- cial Registration List," which is in conflict with those statutes. AS 15.07.130 provides for the purging of voters who have not voted in the past two years. The conflict arises in AS 15.15.198, which allows for the ballots of people whose names have been removed from the registration list to be counted for another two years, even though they have not reregistered. They are not truly purged until they have not voted for four years. The two-year purge should be final. 0. QUALIFICATION FOR ELECTIVE OFFICE The League supports legislation that would include provisions in Title 299 the Municipal Cale, and Title 149 the Education Code, for municipalities to set qualifications for all elected municipal officials, including school board members. Title 29 allows municipalities to set the qualifications for candidates for assembly/council and mayor, but not for school board. Therefore, any qualified registered voter could have his or her name placed on the ballot for school board regardless of length of residency in the municipality. If a municipality has the authority to enact qualifications for candidates for assembly/council and mayor, it should also have the authority to enact qualifications for candidates for school board. At the present time, if a person elected to a local school board has a spouse who is a school district employee, resolution of the potential conflict of interest is left to the Commissioner of Education, not the local population. In Alaska's small municipalities, this can cause problems because of the limited numbers of people interested in public office. E. INITIATIVE, REFERENDUM, AND RECALL The League supports legislation that would 1 require the clerk to notify the desiggnated contact person who subm is an application for an initiative, referen- dum or recall petition of the sufficiency of the application and the availability of the petition and (2) require the clerk to provide petitions only to porsons who request a petition in person, or in writing if located in a multi -community municipality, from the clerkes office. When the new Title 29 was written, an entirely new format for initiative, referendum, and -recall petitions was --written into it. It has been tested in the past two years and several sections need to be - "tightened up in two -areas." (1) Applications for petitionsin- larger municipalities could contain hundreds of names as sponsors. The burden of contacting those sponsors, many of whom aren't even aware they have become sponsors, should be on the designated contact 1 Draft 1989 Policy Statement - 39 - Municipal Elections sponsor. (2) Petitions should be given only to those whoagree to circulate the petition and sign for the petition. This would make the initiative, referendum and recall process more manageable for the public and clerk. 2. Aeaoin t of Recalled official. The League supports legislation -which prohibits a recalled elected official or a recalled official appointed to an elected office from being appointed to the vacancy created by the recall. If voters recall an elected official or an official appointed to an elected office, the voters have spoken, and it should stand. This also avoids pressure on other elected officials to reappoint the recalled person. Basically, allowing a recalled person to be appointed to the vacancy created by his recall is contrary to the whole recall process. AS 29.26.320(c) states that a person who resigns (during a recall process) may not be appointed to fill the vacancy, so it should stand that a recalled official should not be appointed to the vacancy created by the recall. Recall should be a final act. —_ be(inellgible forsapperiodstatutes yeeaMu,ring that a person recall- ed4j 3. Non-Areawide Powers. The League supports legislation to clarify AS 29.26.100-.190 by making a distinction for initiative and referenduwt issues of non-areawide or service area powers. AS 29.26.100-.1909 which outlines the standards and process asso- ciated with a referendum election, speaks only to municipal voters and makes no distinction between voters residing inside and outside a city. Repeal of a non-areawide or service area power would affect only residents located outside cities. However, under current statutes, voters within cities would have a significant, and poten- tially dominant, role in determining whether residents outside the city receive services. A process for initiative and referendum petitions is established in AS 29.26.100-.190, There.should-not be vague references to "by petition" for adopting or deleting a manager plan, altering -govern- ment (annexations, unification, etc.) or local liquor option. 1 1 j� t 4� r PART VIII LOCAL GOVERNMENT POWERS A. LOCAL AUTONOMY ue supports legislation [which] 1<h!� would promote more efffecttive and independent local government in all organized boroughs and cities and opposes any legislation [which] Md unduly restricts local govern - operations. The League opposes all repetitive and unnecessary re elation by state agencies. Such over -regulation serves no purpose and results in confusion and increased cost to the public. Article X of the Alaska Constitution sets out as its purpose the provision of "maximum local self-government with a minimum of local government units." Section 1 goes on to state that "a liberal construction shall be given to the powers of local government units." Section 11 of Article X allows home rule boroughs and cities to "exercise all legislative powers not prohibited by law or by char- ter." Clearly the State's constitution recognizes the need to provide the greatest amount of autonomy and flexibility to local governments because of the diversity of needs and local government demands in Alaska. There are numerous examples of federal mandates and programs (housing, sewage and water systems, etc.) that simply do not work in this environment. Similarly, state regulations that restrict the ability of local governments to meet the needs of their people end up being counterproductive. Local governments are the beat forum for assessing needs and devising solutions. 2. s The League supports the continued exception of municipal off cuts and eoployeas from the lobbying reporting re- quirements under the lobbying sections of Title 24, the Legislative Code (AS 24.45). Municipal officials and employees are representatives of their constituents. They are elected and appointed officials who serve in the public policy arena and serve the same people as legislators and their staffs. Local officials strive to influence legislation in a much different way as they advocate for positions and projects that have been created in an open, democratically based process. It would be inappropriate to classify the efforts of citizen council and assembly members and their staffs in the same category as those of professional lobbyists representing corporations and special interest groups. �fti N 7 3. Anti -Trust Larst The League supports legislationn at both the state and federal levels placing municipalities in an equal - -[posture] �Jtion with state governments-wtth respect to federal - - anti-trust taws. . 40 - 0 Draft 1989 Policy Statement - 41 - Local Government Powers As political subdivisions of the State, local governments should be afforded the same status as state government under anti-trust laws. The freedom to act in the public interest would be enhanced if municipalities could receive the same treatment as states under federal anti-trust provisions. 4. Fafarcomm oNunicig NUDIcIR : The League opposes state restriction on enforcement of mun cippaal ordinances. The League supports legislation clearly establishing local autonomy in the creation of mandatory sentences and other remedies for violation of local ordinances. 6. Public as: The League supports legislation ensuring that local governments are free to adopt, through ordinance or resolution, their own policies and procedures concerning local public records. 6. interest o_� : The League supports repeat of the application to municipalities of the Public Construction Contract Payments section of Title 36, Public Contracts Code (AS 35.20.001) relating to payment of interest on retainage on construction con- tracts. 7. Falb _: The League supports legislation amending Title 29 to give municipalities the authority to exercise the power of eminent domain, including the declaration of taking, in areas outside their boundaries, only if necessary for public service. 8. jgeal Constructions Local governments should retain auto- nomy to administer local construction projects. Title 36, the Public Contracts Code, should be amended to permit local governments to establish their own notice, reporting, local hire, prevailing wage requirements, and methods for fecal construction. 9. Plumbing and E1ert C es: To eliminate the conflict between state and local plumb ng and electrical codes, the League supports an smendment to the state statutes to place sole authority for enforcement with municipalities that have adopted such codes. The League supports the expeditious updating of state safety codes and an amendment to the statutes governing these codes that would allow municipalities adopting these codes to provide for a transition period regardin licensing and certification requirements for plum- bers and electricians working within their boundaries. The League supports the adoption of the national codes as the standards for Alaska. ----10. Auth�:--'he League opposes -any effort by the -Legis- lature to restrict the method of establishment, form, powers, or other futures of municipal port or other authorities. The League supports legislation that would clarify the authority of J i 1 Draft 1989 Policy Statement - 42 - Local Government Powers municipalities to form public corporations, authorities, and simil ar public entitles through which they may exercise a power. B. PUBLIC EMPLOYEE LABOR RELATIONS i - 1. Alaska Public U219=s Labor Relations Acts The League strongly opposes any legislation that would force municipalities to I I be su Sect to the provisions of the Alaska Public Employees Labor Relations Act. The League opposes, just as strongly, any legislative efforts to dictate the provisions of local public employee labor relations ordinances. The League supports legislation to allow each ' gu - - - - municipality to reject or withdraw from the terms of the Alaska Public Employees Labor Relations Act at any time. The scope of decisions as to local government finance and labor policies is best left to the local governing body. 2. Binding ,ratio_ns The League opposes legislation impos- ing binding arbitration on local governments and school districts. Binding arbitration hinders local elected officials' ability to determine their personnel costs and prevents local governments from ` having complete control of determining the local tax rate. The scope of decisions with regard to what local government can afford for labor is best left to the local bodies possessing that knowledge. (C. UNORGANIZED BOROUGH The League urges the Legislature to address the organization of the unorganized borough.] 101 fi. TRIBAL COUNCIL/LOCAL GOVERNMENT RELATIONS The League supports and encourages efforts on the part of the Legislature and other concerned parties to address tribal/local government relations. There is increasing discontent with the state system in some Native communities and due to the desire of several to dissolve their city i governments and exercise perceived tribal sovereignty rights. Legislation was passed to simplify municipal dissolution. However, the Alaska Supreme Court recently rendered an opinion denying sov- ereign rights to Native villages; it is now entertaining a motion to reconsider that opinion. The issues are tangled and confusing. 0. FORMATION OF NEW MUNICIPALITIES i 1. llate pAlici2l: The League supports state policies that encourage rather than lscourage the formation of new municipalities. 1 Draft 1989 Policy Statement - 44 - Local Government Powers Municipalities of the State feel strongly enough regarding local A repository of land records to assume recording responsibility before permitting removal of local records. i f T 4� f r) n�rititrt[ r PART X ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT A. IMPACT 1. Inset Assistance: The exploration, developmento and industrial utilization of renewable and non-renewable resources, both inside and outside municipal boundaries, creates a substantial and immediate impact on the need for municipal facilities and services. The need exceeds the financial ability of most municipalities to haw such facilities and services operational in the time available. The League urges adoption of state and federal legislation which would provide financial assistance to municipalities facing the impacts of resource development. Such legislation needs to establish criteria for impact assistance with appropriate trigger mechanisms to activate such assistance. 2. Resource Development Protects: The League supports resource development and funding policies which provide that state -assisted resource development projects that substantially impact communities should be approved by the municipalities. B. INCENTIVES 1. Loell Incentives: The League urges that legislation be enacted to encourage local municipalities to adopt and implement incentives for economic development, such as joint public/private sector economic development corporations and tax increment financing authorities. 2. State ProarM: The League urges that state programs be is and/or legislation be enacted that encourages, through direct flnancia assistance, the development and implementation of economic development efforts at the local and regional levels. 3. State Use of Resources: The League strongly encourages the State to require its agencies to use Alaskan resources and products before utilizing comparable items from non -Alaskan sources. 4. Nunicioal Bond Allocation: Priority should be given to local governments for no less than 25 percent of the available Private Activity Bond authority. C. TOURISM DEVELOPMENT i. Promption/Attractions The League recognizes the importance of tourism to the economy of the State -of Alaska and encourages _ assistance to municipalities for tourism promotion within the grant -45- �i - f n Draft 1969 Policy Statement - 46 - Economic Development igPus administered by the Division of Tourism. Recognizing the rtance of tourism to the State, the League also encourages the continued funding of the Division of Tourism. Z. Recreation and Tourism: The League supports development, maintenance, and operation of parks, trails, access roads, access points, viewpoints, and other facilities to serve land and water recreation areas and natural attractions for the purpose of accommo- dating, dispersing, and expanding recreation opportunities for residents and visitors. 3. privatization: The League supports the ability to privatize state recreational resources in cases in which the affected local governments request that the operation of the facilities be by the private sector. 0. FISHERIES 1. Limite Entry: The League urges the State to oppose all federal limited entry fisheries designations. Alaska fishermen need the ability to move from fishery to fishery. Limited entry would unfairly restrict free movement from one species to another as economics and harvesting quotas demand. Z.Marketing: The League supports continued state funding of the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute. The Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute (ASMI), with a budget of $2-3 million, has proven its effectiveness in promoting Alaskan fish products in the Lower 48 and overseas. ASMI is funded by the State in partnership with industry to market Alaskan fish resources. 3. Recovery Fundina: The League supports state and cost recovery funding of research and development efforts to expand the Alaska fishery. Continued state funding of research and development is the only way to assure adequate future stocks. The cost recovery program receives money from the controlled -shared harvest of certain returning hatchery stocks. This income facilitates operation and expansion of needed enhancement projects. 4, sustained Yield: The League supports maximum sustained yield management of state fishery resources. Sustained yield management assures that harvest decisions will be made based upon scientific and biologic factors, not economic consid- I Draft 1989 Policy Statement 47 Economic Development ri orations. To assure future growth in the industry, harvest guide lines need to be independent of market fluctuations. 5.

It has the expertise and resources; to develop a comprehen save Alaska Management Plan which would provide the industry with constant and locally controlled management Haricultur2: The League supports the development of a stable, year-round private mariculture industry, with the Initial efforts directed toward the shellfish industry. Shellfish mariculture -- scallops, oysters, etc. may provide many fishing industry. small coastal communities with a needed year-round Finfish mariculture needs further industry review and research. 7. Enhancemants The League supports continued ocean fisheries enhancement programs for Alaskan fisheries. The hatchery program has proven its worth to both commercial and sport fishery enhancement. Research and development of enhancement programs for other species is necessary. S& High leas Eareign Interception: The League supports state and federal efforts to end the high seas foreign interception of Alaskan salon. Documented interception of Alaskan salmon by high seas fleets con- tinues to happen, resulting in substantial lost revenue to Alaskan fishermen. E. AGRICULTURE AND TIMBER AgricUlture: The League supports development of an agri culture industry through state participation in educations research, development, and marketing. 2. Timber Development: The League supports the development of Eourj state-owned, or municipally -owned, timber resources. Specifi- cally, the League urges the creation of a long-termProgram for the harvesting, sale. 82 reforestation of timber an eligible state or -municipal-lands and development of transportation 4n restructure.

Tenuass yorest Menaammant: The League supports the 1980 ANILCA provisions for the management of the Tongass National Forest. F. OIL AND GAS DEVELOPMENT 1, Arctic National Mildlife Refumes The League urges the Conqress of the United States to open the Coastal Plain to environ- mentally responsible all and gas exploration, development, and production. 2. Promotion of ExRloration and DevalolMol: The League encourages the State of Alaska to promote environmentally responsible oil and gas exploration and development. 3. Natural Gas Pipelines The League supports any meaningful endeavors which may remove roadblocks, aid in the search for U.S. and foreign markets, or develop practical, cost-effective stipulations for construction of natural gas pipeline projects. G. HUMAN DEVELOPMENT 1. Alask„ Hirst The League supports and encourages, within the confines of the Constitution and human resource limitations, any efforts on the part of the Governor and the Legislature to implement a local hire policy, particularly within state government, which would not preempt municipal policies and ordinances. 2. jraining,Incentivess The League supports the development of incentives that would encourage contractors and other employers to train and apprentice local workers and would encourage their employ- ment.

Huss has been meeting with Borough communi- ties on a cumber of issues including capital improvement plans. He announced dates of upcoming meetings. He reported receipt of the DOTPF Transportation Plan that will be presented to the Legislature next session and it is available for Members to review in his office. Mayor Gilman reported the procedure for accumulating capital improvement requests was started in July with meetings with service areas and meetings in the communities were held in August. By the first week in October all information will be in the office for organization and at the first meeting in November it will be preeented. it will become an agenda item for the second meeting in November.

BE PUT INTO ORDINANCE FORM FOR INTRODUCTION AT THE MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 20. MOTION WAS APPROVED BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT. (b) Athletic Field Maintenance Mrs. Moock asked the Mayor how the maintenance contracts for Borough landscaping were handled. She reported the only reason the football fields were playable was that the coaches cut sod from other areas, patched, watered, and cut the fields themselves in order to make them useable. She understood the contracts were for water, mowing and fertilizer and she felt needed repairs should have been brougght to the attention of the Maintenance Dept. in order to be prepared in a timely manner. She felt the amount of work set out in the contract should have been managed by the Maintenance Dept. She requested a report on the Nikiski football field which was reported to be improperly installed. and estimates of coat to redo the Kenai field. Mayor Gilman stated the contract specification did not require a Nrofessional landscaper. He had also asked why the condition of the field was not reported earlier and bad not received an answer as yet. He stated the Nikiski field is still under contract, is not ready to be played on and if it is, the borough will be liable for repairs. The cost to redo the fields is unknown. Ways of replacing it are being explored because if new grass is planted next Spring it will not be ready for next season's football. Mrs. Moock addressed a problem with drinking water at the Kenai Junior High School which has been intermittent for the last two years. She felt it should have been solved prior to the start of school. Mr. Hodgins recalled last winter there was a concern at North Star and Mountain View Elementary schools with the possibility of ice falling off the buildings. Mayor Gilman reported the solution will be to use ice cleats front and back. R.

He felt the resume re erred to for EDD would have bettor results it input was received in another way. He also urged public review of the results. Mrs. Phillips stated in the interest of saving both time and money, she suggested when there was an agenda as meager an the one for this meetingthe Assembly be polled as to whether or not to hold the meeting., The results of the poll, if against a meeting. could then be published in time for public notification. Mrs. Valli acknowledged Father Dean in the audience, recently transferred from Homer to Soldotna. Mrs. Moock thanked the participants in the 4-H projects at the Ninitchik Fair, particularly those who formed a conglomerate to • purchase James Martin's steer. Mr. Martin was one of those killed the the crash of a Ryan Air plane last year. She reported the proceeds will go into a perpetual scholarship fund in his name. Vice Pres. Carey asked the Mayor how he planned to designate the conference room dedicated with Res. 88-77 or present the resolution.

With there being some possible plans to .expand the Senior Center and/or the construction of congregate housing, I would suggest not paving this area until we know the exact plans for these projects. We may be spending money for something that will be revised later. I have talked with Pat Porter and she agrees with me on this. Also, it appears this project will have to go out for bid (exceeds $6,500.00), in which case it is doubtful to be completed this year. L _ t _ 1 Municipality Of Anchorage P.O.

BOX O, JU'dEAU, AIMKA 99811 srEvE XN FO - % (907) 465-2600 September 22, 1988 The Honorable John J. Williams 0���': Nrq Mayor City of Kenai, W ti 210 Fidalgo Kenai, AK 99611 �l���68L95'��Z Dear Mayor Williams: I am writing to explain the requirements of the recently amended Superfund law pertaining to local emergency response planning and to ask you to participate. The federal Superfund law was amended in 1986 to require that states and localities plan for emergency response to hazardous substance spills. The law requires states to establish commissions to oversee this process. I have been appointed chairman of the Alaska State Emergency Response Commission, and I an writing to you in this capacity. The federal Superfund law requires that state commissions designate local areas for which emergency response plans would be prepared. The emergency response plans would analyze potential hazards from chemicals used or stored in the area and then plan for responses to potential spills. The planning process is to include local governments, facilities storing or using chemicals, fire fighters, public interest groups, and other interested parties. The State Emergency Response Commission has discussed how best to establish local planning districts for Alaska. The Commission concluded that it would be best to use the existing political subdivisions of the state as much as possible. Consequently, I am writing to ask you to consider having the borough designated as such a district. -I-have-enclosed information about the.Superfund local emergency response planning program and process. Much additional information is available on this program. The Division of Emergency Services will take the lead on working with local Mayor Williams -2- r` September 22, 1988 districts in appointing planning committees and undertaking planning. Mr. Ery Martin, Director of the Division of Emergency Services, has also offered to provide information as local governments begin this work. You can contact him in Anchorage at 376-2337. The state Emergency Response Commission was established by administrative order signed by Governor Steve Cowper. The Commission has completed its organizational work and is now ready to begin designating local planning districts and local planning committees. Because the local planning effort is so important to the safety of Alaskan communities, I hope that you will consider being involved in this project. I will lend all the assistance that I can. Please let me know your thoughts on this. If you need more information, contact Ery Martin directly. I would appreciate hearing from you by October 7 in order to include your local planning district on the agenda for the Commissiones October 28 meeting in Anchorage. I have also written to the Kenai Peninsula Borough about this effort. A coordinated approach is desirable in order to produce the best emergency response plan for the residents of your area. I encourage you to consult with borough officials as you consider your participation. Thank you. sincerely, Commissioner 0 i { 1 R 9 r 4,.
