Cary Graves, the Acting City Attorney, reviewed the document and recommended a few changes. That information is provided on the enclosed memorandums. 2 have made those changes on the enclosed document.

Graves, Acting City Attorney C� City of Kenai DATE: November 1, 1988 RE: Ferguson Lease Assignment Changes needed to make the Assignment of Lease for Security Purposes in the above -referenced matter acceptable are as follows: 1. Paragraph 3 should be amended as follows: Bank shall not be obligated to exercise any remedy available to it under this Assignment. The Lessee hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Bank harmless of and from any and all liability, loss or damage which it might incur as a result of its interest in the Lessee's estate or the Lease pursuant to this Assignment. If after taking possession of the Premises, or acquiring the Lessee's estate by foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, Bank subsequently reassigns the Lessee's estate, then in such event, Bank shall have no further obligation to Lessor under the Lease. T -1- I made three changes in Paragraph 3. First, I eliminated the City from indemnifying the Bank. second, I removed a provision allowing the Bank to escape any further obligations after it had taken possession of the lease by abandoning the premises. Third, I deleted a clause stating that the Bank had no obligations under the Lease. 2. Paragraph 11 deals entirely with the City of Kenai waiving its legal rights and remedies. It should simply be deleted. CRd/clf -2- \ 1791.1991 CITY OF KENAI 210FIOK W KENAI,ALASKA 9W1 TMMHON827 -MB FAX 907.293.3014 TO: win. J. Brighton, City Manager City of Kenai ddd FROM: Cary R. Graves, Acting City Attorney (� City of Kenai DATE: October 31, 1988 RE: Ferguson Lease Assignment You requested that I review the Assignment of Lease for Security Purposes. I have two objections to the proposed assignment which are presented as follows: 1. Paragraph 3 contains the following provision: ...Lessor and Lessee hereby agree to Indemnity and hold Bank harmless of and from any and all liability, loss or damage which it might incur as a result of its interest in the Lessee's estate or the Lease pursuant to this assignment. (Emphasis added.) Paragraph 3 places some potential liability upon the City of Kenai. I do not feel it would be wise for the City to assume such liability. In my opinion, the City should not agree to indemnify the Bank for any loss that it may incur. 2. In Paragraph 11, the City: ...waives, any and all liens, claims, demands or rights, however arising, including without limitation, the right to levy, distrain, -sue-, execute, or sell for unpaid rent, which Lessor now has or may hereafter acquire with -respect to any -or -all of the property of Lessee, or in which Lessee has an interest,... -1- 1 ,graph 11, it appears the City is waiving the right to , with any claims against the Lessee. This waiver includes ,y not involved with the Lease. The clause could be eted to be a waiver of the current litigation we are d in with this property. The provision appears to strip y of most of its legal remedies involving the property. I believe it is wise for the City to waive so many of its emedies. This clause would badly handcuff the City should itional litigation arise over this property. above reasons, I do not approve the above -referenced eat as to form. -a- � 4 i ASSXGNM-MM OF LEASH FOR SECURITY PURPOPES This Assignment of Lease for Security Purposes, hereinafter "Assignment", made and entered this day of _ . 1988, by and between EDWARD A. FERGUSON, hereinafter referred to as the "Lessee"; ALLIANCE BANK, a banking corporation, incorporated under the laws of the State of Alaska, hereinafter "Bank"; and CITY OF KENAI , hereinafter "Lessor". WITNESSETH: J ' WHEREAS, Lessee and Lessor entered into a Lease Agreement dated August 20, 1970► recorded October 24, 1977, Book 115, at Page 947, Kenai Recording District, hereinafter "Lease" covering - premises located in the Kenai Recording District, Third Judicial i • District, State of Alaska, and more particularly described in j Exhibit "A" attached hereto, hereinafter "premises", 1 WHEREAS, this Assignment is executed as security for ? �t repayment of Three Hundred Nineteen Thousand, Five Hundred and ; No/100 dollars ($319,500.00) plus interest evidenced by a Promissory Note in said amount dated October 28, 1988, executed i '41, by Lessee in favor of Bank, and all renewals, extensions, and + modifications thereof, the performance of all terms, covenants and conditions hereof and the payment of all other indebtedness -- — - - - -- -of the Lessee to Bank, whether contingent-, now due, or hereafter - _______.____.-__-_ to become due, and whether heretofore or contemporaneously -1- ' f i ----- --- - -- -.:: ... . i� i t.: e1MA.M�i i herewith or hereafter contracted, or whether arising by operation of law out of the same or different transactions between the parties hereto or between others, hereinafter "indebtedness". As further security, Lessee concurrently with the execution of this Assignment has executed a Deed of Trust covering Lessee's in terest in and to the premises and Lease, and hereby incorporates by reference all the provisions provided in said II Deed of Trust, and i WHEREAS, Bank is willing to make the loan hereinabove described only if Lessor agrees to the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 1 1. Lessee hereby grants, transfers and assigns to Bank, as security for its indebtedness, all of its rights, title and interest as Lessee in the Lease. a. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in f the Lease, Lessor grants to Lessee the right to encumber Lessee's interest in the Lease and assents to the assignment of said interest in accordance with the terms hereof. Lessor agrees, upon any default by Lessee, to serve a copy of any notice of default, or notice that a default has occurred, upon Bank, and no } notice shall be deemed to have been duly given unless and until a -a- copy thereof has been so served. Bank shall thereupon have sixty (60) days after service of such a notice within which to remedy or cause to be remedied the defaults complained of, and Lessor shall accept such performance by or at the instigation of Bank as if such performance had been accomplished by Lessee. No default by Lessee in the performance of work to be performed, or acts to be done, or conditions to be remedied, that cannot reasonably be completed within the grace period, shall be deemed to exist if steps shall, in good faith, have been commenced promptly to rectify the same, and shall be prosecuted to completion with diligence and continuity. So long as Bank has not entered into possession of the property for more than thirty (30) days, it shall not be liable for rent or any other obligation of Lessee under the Lease. Should Bank elect not to cure any default of Lessee under the Lease, Bank shall have the right to take possession of the property for thirty (30) days without liability for rent. Without limiting the foregoing, Bank shall have the right to enter the premises to remove its collateral without taking possession of the premises. Lessor stipulates and agrees that the personal property and fixtures placed on the property by Lessee in which Bank has a security interest are severable and may be removed.by Bank.without further consent by the Lessor in., the event the Lessee defaults under the Lease or any obligation -3- L s �1 ti �+ to Bank. Whether or not Bank enters into possession of the Premises for any purpose, Lessee will remain fully liable for all obligations of Lessee under the Lease. If Lessor elects to terminate the Lease by reason of any default of Lessee, Bank shall not only have and be subrogated to all rights of Lessee with respect to curing such default and have the right to cure as hereinabove set forth, but shall also have the right to postpone and extend the specified date for the termination of the Lease as fixed by Lessor in the notice of termination, for a period of not more than six months, provided that: (1) Bank shall in accordance herewith cure any then existing default and, meanwhile, pay the rent and additional rent and perform all of the other requirements of the Lease required to be performed by Lessee; (2) no further defaults shall accrue hereunder during such extended period; and (3) Bank forthwith takes steps to acquire Lessee's interest in the Lease by foreclosure of its Deed of Trust or otherwise. 3. Bank shall not be obligated to exercise any remedy available to it under this Assignment. The Lessee hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Bank harmless of and from any and all liability, lose or damage which it might incur as a result of its interest in the Lessee's estate or the Lease pursuant to this Assignment. If after taking possession of the Premises or -4- r acquiring the Lessee's estate by foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, Bank subsequently reassigns the Lessee's estate, then in such event, Bank shall have no further obligation to Lessor under the Lease. 4. So long as no default exists under the Lease, or under any other agreements between Lessee and Bank, Lessee shall have all rights as Lessee under the Lease to the use and enjoyment of the Premises. 5. In conjunction with the execution of this Assignment, Lessee agrees to execute a Deed of Trust covering the property and its interest in the Lease, and Lessor hereby authorizes and consents to the execution by Lessee of such Deed of Trust. In the event of a default by Lessee under the Promissory Note or any obligation secured hereby, the Deed of Trust, the terms of the Lease, or this Assignment, Bank shall have the right to foreclose any lien or security interest held by it. Lessor also consents to the execution by Lessee, in the event of a default, of an assignment in lieu of foreclosure whether or not permitted by the Lease. Any person or entity acquiring such leasehold estate sold or assigned by Bank shall be liable to perform the obligations imposed on Lessee by this Lease only during the period that such person has ownership of the Lease pursuant to the foreclosure or -5- assignment. The time available to Bank to initiate proceedings to foreclose its Deed of Trust or any security interest held by it shall be deemed extended by the number of days of delay i occasioned by any judicial restriction or automatic stay of the Bankruptcy Code, now in effect or as hereafter amended, against such initiation or continuation of such foreclosure proceedings or occasioned by other circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Bank. 6. In the event that a proceeding is commenced by or against the Lessee or Lessor under any chapter of the United States Bankruptcy Code, Lessee and Lessor agree not to terminate or reject the Lease without the prior written consent of Bank. i 7. Lessee agrees not to execute any other or further assignment of its rights under the Lease, and further agrees to t assign to the assignee, so long as the indebtedness shall remain i fully unsatisfied, all subsequent leases or extensions thereto, relating to the premises.

DIRECTOR'S REPORT a ARPA Conference 10/13 - 10/15/88 in Anchorage Director McGillivray informed the Commission that he and Bill Musson will be attending. The agenda is not very heavy as compared to "normal" state conferences, the reason being that Alaska is hosting the regional meeting next spring so this will be more of a work shop. Director McGillivray will be installed as President Elect which means three more years to serve. NOTE: Commissioner Carlson joined the meeting at 4:35 P.M. b. Parks & Beautification There was no quorum for the last Beautification Committee meeting. There were a couple areas that did not get mowed before the frost. There are some people who have been dumping trash at the Beaver Creek Park. Director McGillivray spoke to the Police Chief and he was able to obtain an address of the owner from the trash. If the dumping continues, action will be taken. C. Rec Center/Gym Requests by U.S. Coast Guard Director McGillivray informed the Commission of the arrangements made with the Coast Guard regarding family passes for use of the Rec Center. We have never had this type of process before, however under their funding they can obtain funds for recreational purposes and can be workable. The plan is to have a yearly pass and there would never be more than two members or families using the facilities at one time. Restrictions were drawn up, a price put on it, and they have informed Director McGillivray that the money was approved in the amount of $950 per year for each family. Chairman Hultberg asked how many families are involved, answer 4 or 5 for the whole area. Also, there must be a Coast Guard member with whoever uses the facilities which prevents heavy use by unaccompanied youngsters. d. Trash Containers. The containers are all completed and at the shop, however, they are portable and not the type originally discussed with the pipe that could be anchored in the ground. Note: Commissioner Siebert joined the meeting at 4:40 P.M. L 0"I P M J, 1 I I KENAI PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION October 11, 1988 Page 3 6. OLD BUSINESS a. Request for Release of Lands - Miller & Baily (See memo from Mayor Williams) Director McGillivray presented maps depicting the lands that had been discussed previously. The motions to correct the minutes have taken care of this item. 7. NEW BUSINESS a. Request for Park - Walker Street Area - Mavor Williams Director McGillivray informed the Commission that the original request was for some lands which are now in private hands. Several years ago the land was all city -owned and could have been subdivided to accommodate this request. At the time the park was first discussed years ago, the concept of pocket parks was discussed and the decision was that there were enough parks. There is one small parcel that is owned by Homer Electric that Mayor Williams had considered, however, that would present a problem with possible high voltage equipment. Also mentioned was the Lawton Strip. The only other land available would be the strip adjacent to Walker Lane from the Spur Highway to Tern which is the easement for the HEA power poles. The Commission discussed creating a park with some play equipment, clearing and grass, however, with the power poles there and the need for the large trucks to service the poles, the general feeling is that any development would stand to be damaged. MOTION: Commissioner Sandahl moved that the Parks & Recreation Commission examine the possibility of establishing a small pocket park at the end of Walker Lane, come up with a basic design, and request that the engineering department cost out the equipment needed to furnish the park so that the area may be better served, seconded by Commissioner Massie. The Commission wished to list the objections to a park in that area: 1) kids having to cross a busy street to get to it, 2) equipment and development stand to be damaged by HEA equipment working on the poles, 3) power poles in vicinity of children playing not desirable, 4) do qot want to create additional maintenance problems 5) Lawton Strip is not suitable due to proximity of the Spur Highway, 6) do not want additional parks at this time. If the City were to put -a park in for Walker Lane; - then Woodland, Redoubt, etc. will want a park also. VOTE: Motion failed unanimously by roll call vote KENAI PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION October 11, 1988 Page A 8. COMMISSION QUESTIONS & COMMENTS a. Director McGillivray asked for discussion on the idea of having an invitational city league tournament for other communities. Assuming that it would be based on the current tournaments, there would be a fee in an amount which would cover the costs, the only drawback would be tying up the gym for a period of time. Chairman Hultberg asked how many other teams we might draw, answer 10 to 12 or as many as the facility could handle. Homer has had one and it works well. Commissioner Siebert asked if it would be just a men's tournament, answer yes because there is very little women's activity. The Co fission agreed that it should be pursued. Also, that it would be a good idea if sponsors could be found. b. Director McGillivray informed the Commission that there is a sign up sheet for a wally ball league to test for interest. At this point there are not enough for the teams. C. Chairman Hultberg stated that he had been called by a couple of parents asking about the youngsters hanging out in front of the Rec Center. The youngsters were seen to be smoking and in one case was a controlled substance and asked if anything were being done. Director McGillivray answered that he had been in discussions with the City Manager and the police department and the subject had been brought up before. The general consensus is that the staff cannot control what goes on outside the building. Possibly we could go to Council and set a policy of no smoking on the premises but that has not been a viable option at this point. No further discussion. 9.

APPROVAL OF AGENDA MOTION: Commissioner Bryson moved, seconded by Commissioner Nault, to approve the agenda as submitted. Motion passed by unanimous consent. 3. PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD 3-a Sylvia Spearow, Borough Planner - Coastal Zone Management Plan Sylvia Spearow. If anyone needs copies of the Coastal Zone Management Plan, they can contact her. The Borough has a draft Coastal zone Management Plan, they will have a hearing Oct. 24. It it not a new - program, the Federal plan has been since 1972, the State since 1977. The State has special standards for all projects, State or Federal, that may affect the coastal zone. Most are already reviewed through this. After the Borough passes this, it will become part of the State law. They average 150 permits through the Borough per year at this time. We do not have standards for Borough review, so it is on a case -by -case basis. The Borough has no authority, the State does not have to follow their recommendations. The draft was done in 1979, it called for zoning in the entire borough. That did not pass. They have just started this now. The boundary is 1000 ft. elevation, the City of Kenai is in the coastal zone. The policy is, issues and objectives are enforceable. The different categories of policy are: Coastal development Floating -facilities Commercial fishing -Dredging and filling Geophysical hazards (floods, etc.) Recreation and public access Energy and industrial standards Fish and seafood processing L 7 KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION OCTOBER 12, 1988 PAGE 2 Mariculture (mussels, etc.) Timber (similar to State) Mining & Minerals Habitat policies Archeological & historical Implementation would be carried out by State and Federal agencies. The Borough would be one of the commenters. There is provision for areas of special mention, a total of 12 areas. Kenai River is one. The public hearing is Oct. 24, there will be public comment till Oct. 30. There will be Borough Assembly hearings after that with re -writes. Commissioner Brown. Does the Borough have final approval? S. Spearow. The Planning Commission will have a hearing, the Assembly will have final approval. Then the State and Federal agencies will approve. Commissioner Nault. Is there any teeth in the policies? S. Spearow. Yes, it is the law, the State can enforce it. Commissioner Brown. Will this supersede the State plan? S. Spearow. It will add to the State plan. The State standards will still be back-up. Commissioner Roberts. Where will the hearings be? Answer - The Borough building. Commissioner Brown. In new development, the developer would be responsible for both State and Borough plan? S. Spearow. The Borough either repeats or replaces the State plan. All you would have to follow is in this book. Chairman Smalley. There is no additional fee? Answer - no. Commissioner Brown. What if there is expansion of the facilities out north? S. Spearow. Anything that requires a permit now will require a permit. i Chairman Smalley. The commercial fishermen that are set netters with permanent anchors - will they need a permit? S. Spearow. If they do now. Chairman Smalley. A portion of their anchors are way off shore. S. Spearow. -I have never reviewed one-. There is no policy on this. S. APPROVAL OF MINUTES, SEPT. 28, 1988 MOTION: l a KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION OCTOBER 12, 1988 PAGE 3 Commissioner Nault moved, seconded by Commissioner O'Reilly, to approve the minutes as submitted. Motion passed by unanimous consent. 6. OLD BUSINESS None 7. NEW BUSINESS 7a Tidelands Lease Applications Portion of Kristine S/D - Royal Pacific Fisheries, Inc. Admin. Asst. Howard. This is the formal lease application. P&Z looked at it in Aug. There will be full public hearings at Harbor Commission, Council and P&Z. Both areas are being surveyed. She is asking if the contemplated use is falling within the stated use. Joe Dragseth. Mr. Dragseth is ill, he will be at the Council meeting (10-19-88). MOTION: Commissioner Bryson moved, seconded by Commissioner Nault, that the proposed use is in conformance with industrial and river -related use. MOTION, Amendment: Commissioner Bryson moved, with consent of second, to amend the word "industrial" to "zoning." VOTE, Motion as Amended: Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote.- 7b Tidelands Lease Application: Portion of Kristine S/D - Larry Powers Chairman Smalley. Does the City take care of the suggested length of the lease? Answer - yes. Commissioner Bryson. Is this proposed for launching of small recreation boats? Larry Powers. It is for small -boats -but now necessarily for the public.- it could take a load off the City during peak times. MOTION: Commissioner O'Reilly moved, seconded by Commissioner Brown, to approve the tidelands lease application as it is in compliance with the zoning ordinance. E 1 KENAI PLANNING & ZONING; COMMISSION OCTOBER 12, 1988 PAGE 4 Commissioner Bryson. (to L. Powers) Do you have the adjacent up -land property under contract? Answer - yes. Commissioner Bryson. As we have done with previous applications for tidelands, it would be appropriate that the area applied for conform to adjacent property whether it is limited to water, or whatever. Joe Dragseth. If he has floating dock facility directly upstream from us, his anchor will have to be directly underneath ours. How will he do that? Mr. Powers. It is 150 ft. from the dock out, there will be an anchor at each end. There will not be a need for anchors where Dragseth has theirs. Mr. Dragseth. Is it far enough out so it won't run into ours? Mr. Powers. Yes, the Corps of Engineers determined if it was too close to existing structures. We measured from the floater. Chairman Smalley. The Harbor Comm. will review this. Mr. Powers. The Dragseth dock will be 30 ft. to 40 ft. further out than mine. Commissioner Bryson. Is the land end of the launch ramp at the end of the subdivision? How far is the average high tide in relation to this drawing? Mr. Powers. A normal high tide (17 ft.) is 25 ft. from the cut -bank. A 22 ft. tide comes to the cut -bank. Commissioner Brown. What did he propose to be used for anchoring floating docks? Mr. Powers. The 3 floating piers between Dragseth and Dragnet. They are anchored to screw anchors. One cement way will be on the down -stream edge of the pier closest to Dragseth. It will be used to haul fishermen in and out of the water. Commissioner Bryson. Would it be more appropriate to be used for launching boats rather than replacing the facility? This will end up in contract for lease if approved by Council. But the use is stated in the development plan. Motion passed by unanimous consent. S. PLANNING Chairman Smalley reported they had a work -session regarding Bed & Breakfasts. There is a need in the future to meet with the Rec Comm. regarding an R/V ordinance. Commissioner Nault. What Bed & Breakfast was discussed? Chairman Smalley. The one on Anglers Dr. The -City has directed them to come into compliance. -I the Code does not address this, they cannot have it. They are coming to P&Z Oct. 26. Also, a guiding service. r) _J r KENAI PLANNING; & ZONING COMMISSION OCTOBER 12, 1988 PAGE 5 Commissioner Brown requested that a letter be sent to all Bed & Breakfast businesses that there will be a work session. Commission agreed to the request. Chairman Smalley. The Mayor has requested an ordinance be prepared on Bed & Breakfasts. Right now they have to be in conformance with Home Occupations. Till we get something on the books, we will have to deal with them on a case -by -case basis. Commissioner Bryson. We could start with the Soldotna ordinance and ask for input regarding that. The Soldotna ordinance is more restrictive, but it is good place to start. Chairman Smalley asked that the Soldotna ordinance be sent to existing businesses that have been identified in the City. The Commission agreed to hold a work session on Dec. 14 with the Rec. Commission regarding an R/V ordinance. The Commission further agreed to hold a work session on Nov. 3 regarding Bed & Breakfasts. 9. REPORTS 9a City Council Chairman Smalley. What was the decision of the Council on the Foster Bros. R/V park? Clerk Ruotsala replied, it was denied. Commissioner Roberts. It was•not in the paper. Commissioner Bryson. It came to Council as if P&Z had denied the use. Commissioner Nault. P&Z denied modification. Chairman Smalley requested copies of the decision be sent to P&Z. Commissioner Bryson. All he wanted in the motion was a public hearing. He thought it was inefficient. Commissioner Nault. The denial was till it was brought back as a conditional use permit, not a modification. Commissioner Bryson. It was presented to Council as if P&Z denied modification. Chairman Smalley. P&Z was not speaking in opposition to an R/V park, but to the modification. They felt a public hearing was necessary for modification. 9b Borough Planning Commissioner Bryson. There was a meeting Oct. 10 in Seward. The major request was for zoning powers similar to Kenai, Soldotna and Homer. It was approved.- 9c City Administration None 10.

Bill Kluae, Architect - Senior Center Building Expansion Mr. Kluge passed out copies of drawings to the Council. Mr. Kluge: What this addition entails is; an addition to the dining room, provisions for dressing rooms for exercising and possibly a theater, storage facilities, and expanding the lounge. The plan includes expanding the solarium, providing storage for tables and chairs, and storage for the kitchen. The additional kitchen space allows for refrigerator and freezer. The plan is to keep the same elevation and roof line and use existing windows and doors to cut costs. The proposed addition extends beyond the present property line. The seniors intend to purchase additional property from the City. I recommend they extend the property line down to the creek. If they had this project then a volunteer project could be to build a board walk down to the beach. The estimate for the project is $450,000. Councilwoman Monfor: The expansion is wonderful but I would like to know what happened to the basement because I had understood that it would be cheaper. Mr. Kluge: We drew four different plans and originally I recommended against having a basement, basically because it is a seniors' building. They would have to have a younger person carry materials stored in the basement to the upper levels. In discussions with the building inspector is was decided 4. -that in excavating the basement, they would be sing the ground beneath the existing -foundation. _The area .of the basement ey�y 'exceeding limits of the code for existae thus creating the need for JWN two stairways. The end result is the cost of the basement and - stairways and square footage would be about the same by doing it as this plan calls for. City Manager: The land is in a green belt and it will have to be F; r �J y,. i 1 �i q-: 1 KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1988 PAGE 3 rezoned. What we did when we added the parking is perhaps creating an encroaching beyond what we paid for. Councilwoman Monfor: Can we buy the land and if so can we buy it at fair market value? Answer yes. Does that add to the $450,000. Mr. Kluge: Those lines are included. City Manager Brighton: Are we utilizing real estate for which we pay no lease or rent which we should be paying. The encroachment beyond the survey line is additional real estate plus a rezoning to the green belt. The drawing shows that it is a line which falls off. Mr. Kluge: Each line is one foot increments so at this distance, the property falls off 8'. I would assume the value of this land is not great. Councilwoman Monfor: Should we be going into this immediately, i.e. get the land, the rezoning, etc. City Manager Brighton: The Council needs to make a determination of whether or not they are going to pursue this, then administration can get everything together and present it to you. MOTION: Councilwoman Monfor moved for tentative approval of this proposal, administration to pursue the rezoning and additional cost for real estate, seconded by Councilwoman Swarner VOTE: Motion passed by Unanimous Consent 2. Jim Doyle - Additional Lease Space Adjacent to Present Space - Gusty S/D #6 Jim Doyle: I applied for this piece of property between Coral Street and Spruce Avenue, Gusty S/D #3. The activity has increased in this area, this will be the third application for additional property. It will strictly be a parking area for the trailers similar to the other two lots. We want to be closer to First Street with the exception of a 20' border of trees the Council has indicated a desire for. City Manager Brighton: Mr. Doyle is asking for a lease on Tract C, D, and the blank area which abuts First Street plus a 20' buffered tree zone between the lot and First Street. He has a lease on Gusty 8/0 N3 Tract A and Block 3 which is across Coral Street. In addition, there may be some confusion because administration had anticipated his request would have been for Tracts C and B, we did not realize that he was asking for the blank space also. Councilwoman O'Reilly: We already approved C and D? Answer yes. MOTION: Councilwoman Monfor moved to have administration go ahead and order survey and appraisal, including the 20' buffer zone, seconded by Councilwoman O'Reilly r-- KENAI CITY COUNCIL — MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1988 PAGE 4 (•, Mayor Williams: Do any of the Council feel that this should go before Planning & Zoning for a review of that area relative to the changing of the surveyed lines. Councilwoman Monfor: I don't think so, especially since the buffer zone has been made a part of the lease. Mr. Doyle: If we can I would like to have the ground prepared prior to freeze up. VOTE: Motion passed by Unanimous Consent 3_. Assignment of Lease, - Booth/Zerhruna to TEMT Alaska 4 City Attorney Rogers: The one question for the Council would be, in this instance, is that the assignment is to a corporate entity and I have in all cases in the last six years, require individual sureties to sign individually on that document, or as you'll see later, a separate guarantee document, guaranteeing the debts of the corporation. The reason for that having been some unfortunate situations some years back that left the City holding the bag so to speak on various leases. However, under certain circumstances in { the past, upon a demonstration by an applicant of financial solvency or worth of a particular corporation, the Council has waived that requirement. Mayor Williams: You will notice that the property in question is the old Windmill Restaurant location. Mrs. Crabaugh presented materials to the Council. f i Public Comment i a. Steve Booth, 1049 Keystone Drive, Soldotna: I am one of the assignors to the lease. This has gone on for quite some time. We had been led to believe that it would handled in a different manner, this has been since mid September. All contacts has been verbal. Later on we found out that a letter of intent of assignment was required and a copy of the assignment. That was hand carried to the City on 10/5 and felt it was ample time for your packet. Just by a fluke yesterday, we found out that we weren't going to be allowed to have it in the packet and we appreciate you letting us give it to you. I feel it's very important that the paperwork in this transaction, the paperwork has been held up because of this and actually we're anxious to move on. People are planning to increase their assets on the adjoining piece of property. They are planning an expansion of the local theater, -I'm not sure - what their position is at the moment, I can't speak for TENT Alaska but -they are substantial... I think it would be in -the city,s-best - - -- interest to allow this to move on. Looking back I find leases dating back to '76, and at that time there was no requirement for individuals to sign. 1 I KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1988 ! PAGE 5 City Attorney Rogers: Relative to conversations between the City of Kenai and people representing this entity, I would ask that Kim Howard address the Council because I think she was the individual that spoke with someone on the other side making them aware of the requirements. Administrative Assistant Howard: Mr. Booth did bring in his assignment of lease on 10/5 and I gave it to the city attorney's secretary and I received it back and the attorney did not approve of the lease assignment because it did not have an individual signatory on it. I informed Mr. Booth and was waiting for a response either with an assignment of lease with individual signatory or something that indicated that they wanted to do otherwise. City Manager Brighton: The assignee are the people who are purchasing the real estate that is presently under the theater and they are the ones that are trying to assign the additional lot for the purpose of adding theaters to the existing structure. Councilwoman Monfor: Why can't they buy this if they already own. the other property. City Attorney Rogers: My policy is I require individual signatory. if you're convinced of the financial worth or solvency of corporate entity as a result of them providing you some information, that is your prerogative. Mayor Williams: Could this property be purchased rather than leased. City Manager Brighton: Technically the lessee of that property at the present time, doesn't have the right to sell it. Councilwoman Monfor: Couldn't they turn the lease back to the City and the City sell it? City Manager Brighton: I don't know what the private transactions are. Councilwoman Monfor: Is that a possibility? City Attorney Rogers: It could result in driving the price up since it would off set the bid if we turned it back. City Manager Brighton: They are only wanting to assign the lease, not necessarily to purchase at this point and I think the property is going to be used for parking space. To build additional' theaters they are going to need additional parking space. Councilwoman Monfor: Does that mean the building that is there now is going to be taken down. City Manager Brighton: I'm sure it will be. Councilwoman Monfor: I really understand where the attorney's coming from and it has definitely saved us a number of times to have individual signatures. I just don't think that I would have a problem not having that in this situation. Councilwoman Swarner: I disagree, I think -we do need individual signatures. MOTION: Councilwoman Swarner moved that we follow the attorney's advise L - - �"i KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1988 i PAGE 6 There was no second. Councilwoman O'Reilly: Has there been some resistance to individual signature. Answer no. City Attorney Rogers: It hasn't been specifically stated to me that there is other than that it was alluded to in a telephone call I had yesterday with Mr. Zerhung. Whether or not that was {j communicated to the Administrative Assistant I don't know. I have ' indicated that there is another way and that is a separate -- guarantee document that guarantees the debts of the corporation + -: similar to Fisherman's Packing. i b. Roberta Crabaugh: We represent Orca Theaters. We have lived " in the area since 1961 and I would like to read this letter. The letter, in short, presented objections to the transfer of leased lands based on the number of screens in what was termed an "over screened" area and felt that it would not be in the best interest of the community or the movie industry citing a formula which equates the number of screens a given population within a community can support. The distributors of product do not -allow theaters within a 10 mile proximity to show the same movies and by adding .` more screens making a total of seven screens would not bring more • product and would result in poorer service. City Attorney Rogers: I don't think that much of what was ram' f presented by Mrs. Crabaugh should be considered by Council as to � the transfer of the lease. However, the information she provides further substantiates perhaps the need for individual signatories. We have never used the projected success of a given enterprise as criteria for purposes of transferring a lease. f !'J Mayor Williams: It would appear that there is credence to ` Councilwoman Swarner's desire for individual signators to the lease. MOTION RESTATED: Councilwoman Swarner moved that the attorney proceed as is . t customary for getting individual signatures for leases, seconded by Councilman Smalley. r. Councilman Smalley: Is there any major difference between your guarantee document and the individual signatures. i City Attorney Rogers: The major difference is when you have a very infirm corporate entity that has just come out of bankruptcy as is ? the case in the other instance. You're in fact mixing personal assets and corporate assets in order to "pierce the corporate veil". That's why the guarantee document is used so the individual . name isn't on the lease document. You're guaranteeing all the debts under the lease. The effect for the city is basically the same. - - - City Manager Brighton: Under a lease situation, other than the lot, what collateral do you need to collect on the lease. If you V T J_. F:i it 0 '4 s. 4 "j. KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1988 PAGE 7 assign this lease to another entity, you're only assigning the lease to the real estate, they don't owe us anything except to meet , the obligation of the lease which is a monthly payment. ` City Attorney Rogers: Those monthly payments in some instances have accrued to the extent of $50,000 before we were able to get our property back out of the bankruptcy court. City Manager Brighton: Does that mean that if the present lessee were to go into bankruptcy we're protected from that situation? Answer no. But we have more protection and more collateral then the corporate entity. Often times there are two reasons for a corporations one is the limited tax, and protection from liability i should the corporation fail. j Councilman McComsey: What you're saying is that if we lease land to a corporation and they took out bankruptcy then we can't do anything until the bankruptcy is settled. City Attorney Rogers: Yes, that is what has happened in the past. We have a severe problem -with getting a timely release of the property that is in +�(c the possession of the bankruptcy court, IN arguing the other side,' and feels the city doesn't have any additional collateral I disagree. City Manager Brighton: As I understand what I'm told tonight is that we have no more protection for that lease under the existing circumstances than we have if it were assigned to the assignee who's intent is to help the economic situation by adding additional tax base and sales tax, perhaps even additional jobs and if we refuse without those signators we're right where we would be if we I' permitted the assignment because they don't have single signators 1 on the present lease. t Mayor Williams: While the information is merely heresy and conjecture at this point, the implication that possibly Mr. Thomas P.

I think it's a lot of money and if we don't have some kind of documentation and the memo { is specific as to how this should be handled. r Mayor Williams: The issue of the donated labor was discussed at length. PW Director Kornelis spoke of details of labor. Mr. Craycroft will be donating the shop space to do the prefabrication ! and can use the time clock facilities if they chose. PW Director Kornelis: I have a set of forms that workers can use j for equipment time, labor time, etc. which needs to be well ff l-^. documented. We will be using the Davis -Bacon wage scale. We plan not to use cash funds until we have donated labor. We plan on using $20,000 of city labor and equipment which will be city crews and some railroad ties that are left over. Councilwoman O'Reilly: The city labor and equipment usage will equally be well documented. Answer yes. Finance Director Brown: We can use between 20-25% benefits and add that on to their actual }. rates of pay. We can't use a manual rate on Davis -Bacon on all employees.

VOTE AMENDMENT: Motion passes unanimously by roll call vote VOTE MAIN MOTION: Motion passes unanimously by roll call vote Additional Item Mayor Williams: We have had an ongoing problem with recreational lands that were traded to the City some years ago, specifically, the lands adjacent to the armory. The City Manager and I discussed the fact that more correspondence from the state has been received on the subject. What is the possibility of taking our share of Birch Island and some surrounding ground for the trade, especially considering that the State Division of Parks & Outdoor Recreation to continue development of this viewing system and it is of no value to us. City Manager Brighton: We are going to have to do something with the Department of Natural Resources on the basis that in 1967 the City said that they would exchange like land of like value for what is now the Municipal Park and the City of Kenai has not followed through with that exchange. I would suggest that what the Mayor is suggesting is our best first shot. Further, the Department of Natural Resources is looking at locking that land away on the basis of the geese, ducks, and wildlife. Councilman Mccomsey: Do we have 80 acres on that side of the river? City Manager Brighton: Without the documents I cannot tell you. Councilman Smalley: Birch Island is probably about 10 itself. City Manager Brighton: We only have about a third. Mayor Williams: The state has an intention of developing some acreage further up into parks and recreation area later on. There may be some method we can work on then. I'm suggesting this as an interim method to say to the state, begin from here. The last letter we got was rather insistent. City Manager Brighton: We have to do something, short of giving them back the real estate and perhaps they may be the best -ones to run that operation anyway. Councilman McComsey - Couid we ask that you get more information _ that we can review at the work session. Answer yes. 1. . KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1988 PAGE 10 °. 2.

Councilman McComsey: Does this mean that on every piece of land : that we will lease that the potential lessor is going to pay not only for the surveying but the appraisal also, answer yes. ` City Attorney Rogers: The other dealt with tidelands, this is all city lands. . ,. Councilman McComsey: Do you think this will stop a lot of - interested individuals. I know that most companies that come in - are working on a small budget and this is about $7,000 to begin. - City Attorney Rogers: I don't know how many parcels there are left that are going to require a survey. This will necessitate people sit down and sharpen their pencils before acquiring lands. On the other side, remember that the percentage down and the terms that rf the City gives are quite favorable. In some circumstances, it has ' been pretty substantial to survey a parcel of land just to make it available to the person. Under previous codes it was a nominal " amount down to initiate the process and then they backed out. Mayor Williams: There are some costs associated with the appraisals of city lands that run pretty high. Is it our intentions to apply 4 - this to all city lands including airport industrial lease lands. 1 What was the cost of that last survey that we looked at? 11 Administrative Assistant Howard: It was lower than what you're ' saying, it was $700 and the FAA requires an MAI review the ' appraisal and that's an additional $400. Mayor Williams: I had thought that when the trucking company had 3: that appraised it was a pretty good figure. Somewhere in the Al neighborhood of $1200 to get one of our industrial lots appraised. ^' It is not required that those lots get surveyed every time they're _ y leased is it? Answer no. I think the only lands that need surveying at this time are the tidelands. Anyone who builds a ' building on a leased lot naturally has to have an as built drawn. - City Attorney Rogers: You had the Doyle lease tonight.

Councilwoman Monfor: I'm not going to vote for this ordinance. I think it's too much money and the time isn't right to spend that money. We're getting a lot for the money, it's just that I don't feel comfortable putting the money out at this time. Councilman Smalley: When these figures first came out it was my understanding that they were less, why have they gone up. City Manager Brighton: First, the figures were substantially more. Mayor Williams explained the project to the new Councilman. We are on our second engineering firm and the designs that were brought back to us did include a substantial reduction from the original cost. However, they included a $50,000 redesign fee. The Council has discussed this over the last several months and the Council finally concluded that the fact that we had the money available to us in the airport funds, the fact that our bicentennial is coming up, the fact that the times are right for getting the best buildings for our money now, that IR*as the desire of the Council — 'ik to move with the entire project. By shutting down now we can dispense with a lot of problems with leases that are waiting with the restaurant and bar and the whole project should be completed by next tourist season. Councilwoman O'Reilly: I'm going to support this ordinance. I think it's an improvement that we've talked about for a period of time, it's needed, the money is there in airport funds, and it is a good time for building, and perhaps it will come in for considerably less than this figure.

Ordinance 1291-88 - Increasing Rev/Appns - Airport Terminal Renovation - $771,667 a. Proposal from Mr. Kluge The drawings were reviewed by the Council. Council Recessed Bill Kluge; What we have before you is a proposal for the contract d�,„;,,...• '' O&inistratibroservices on the project and the services included revising the original documents, outlined on page two. We had to prepare an addendum to go with these documents for the restaurant and bar. It was also requested to include a roofing alternate. Because of the amounts of areas on the existing southern end of the airport being modified there will be quite a few holes and penetrations in that southern end. The first renovation in 1981 there is a distinct break between the old and new addition and I recommend that that roof area be included. It would be more economical to do that at the same time. There are three phases of our work; the first portion would be any work done on the drawings. The second phase is the bidding phase. The third phase is the actual contract administration. This also includes the inspections and we recommend three, one at the rough in stage, one at the intermediate stage and one at the final stage. We are basing these services on a six month construction period. Councilman Mccomsey: You said the price was set up on a six month construction, if it goes over six months would there be additional charges. Mr. Kluge: That's hard to say. After six months you would be into liquidated damages. Any additional services required of me after that time would be covered under the liquidated damages. Councilman McComsey: Not through the city but through the contractor? Mr. Kluge: That's what I would assume. PW Director Kornelis: The inspection contract sets the price at a not to exceed amount. The amount of hours that a person spends on that contract are based on the amount of construction time we put in the contract document. If the construction goes beyond that time, unless there are change orders or a prior agreement there are liquidated damages that are assessed against the contractor. If those liquidated damages are not spelled out to be used for that purposes, well we need to be sure it is in the contract. We are one of the few municipalities that are noted to do a special section on damages, in fact we had $85,000 taken from the dock job. j However, this is a not to exceed figure and in order for him to get any more money he has to get a written agreement with the city and ---- - — - he brings it to the Council. He will keep track of his time in the field and will be billing us for his time times the rates that are set in this proposal and we will pay him at those quotes that he has put in there. There is a possibility that he still will not go over. r i F KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1988 PAGE 13 Mayor Williams: In your reimbursable you indicated a not to exceed sum of $4250 and on the back page under fee schedules it calls for reimbursable on consultants costs, mechanical inspections, etc. are you comfortable that your costs will not exceed $4250. Mr. Kluge: I allowed eight hours for the engineers and they are located in Anchorage and it could be an eight hour day, however, this will cover a possibility. Included in that is the 10% handling fee. PW Director Kornelis: We write the contract for the total not to exceed amount and allow the architect to go over and under on individual accounts as long as the total not to exceed amount is not exceeded.

Discussion - Application for Tidelands Lease - Royal Pacific Fisheries MOTION: Councilwoman Monfor moved to approve the lease, seconded by Counuilinan McComsey Councilman Smalley: The desired length of lease is 30 years? Administrative Assistant Howard: These items both went to the ` Planning Commission and the Harbor Commission as a public hearing and were approved, however, the Harbor Commission recommended an escape clause because if there was a significant change in the river channel and the dock became an obstruction the lease -could be terminated or the dock adjusted. On Mr. Powers' lease, he has not yet presented the City with a drawing stamped by an engineer and once he has done that our engineer will look at it and if approved, the Harbor Commission recommended that the condition be that if the river changed the dock would only go to the minus five foot tide level and no further. Mayor Williams: There was a considerable amount of discussion at the Harbor Commission level regarding the length of the lease. I think everyone -is in agreement that if the river channel adjusts itself drastically we're talking about taking out the Salamatof city docks as well and if that occurs I'm sure the Corps of Engineers will become deeply interested. Councilwoman Monfor: Mr. Drageeth is shaking his head no, I would like to know what it was. Marvin Dragseth: It was for moving the dock. You already gave me - a permit -to -build that -dock -right where it's -at and -prior to 1983 when the Corps issued the permit, we're not discussing where or how that dock's going to be built, you already gave me that. What we're discussing here is the cost of the lease. Because your code L •• r 7 I E ' OCTOBER 19, 1988 PAGE 18 says that water lease goes to the uplands lease. So there's no discussion on whether that dock has to be pulled or not, that dock is in there for life. PW Director Kornelis: The Corps gave you that permit. Marvin Drageeth: The City too because the Corps couldn't give me a �•�- permit without every government agency in this world. PW Director �,p Kornelis: Oh yes you do. Prior to 1983, the Corps issued me that permit in 1983 and they could not issue it without the City approval. At that time you didn't have to have the Borough approval, you don't now. PW Director Kornelis: Wa receive Corps of Engineerspermitsand they don't require our approval. They give us the notification of the permit someone is applying for and we have a right to object to it but we do not .... Marvin Dragseth: If you don't object, you approve. PW Director Kornelis: Not necessarily. Marvin Dragseth: Oh yes. PW Director Kornelis: We may not say anything, in fact it may have gone by us without any notification. Marvin Dragseth: Oh but it was advertised, there were fourteen agencies that have to approve that. Councilwoman Monfor: My question is what about, I understand the lease application, but what about this part that says, Royal Pacific approved a 30 year lease with an escape clause. Mayor Williams: No, under the Royal Pacific request, it should say that the Harbor Commission approved the 30 year lease with an escape clause. Councilwoman Monfor: So Royal Pacific has not agreed to that and Mr. Powers has not agreed to his either. Larry Powers: Not for anything less than 55 years if I can do that. Marvin Dragseth: I have a 55 year lease on the uplands and the water lease should agree with that. Councilwoman Monfor: In the last 35 years, how much has that river changed? Mayor Williams: Let me bring back to the Council's attention, the conversation by the Harbor Commission. They were concerned that if the channel changed that the dock itself may obstruct the traffic. There were others who felt that if the channel changed to the point that the traffic were obstructed because of the dock, most certainly the down river dock, Salamatof would be in much more jeopardy because of the action. If it ever occurred, there definitely be something done by the Corps or some agency. I don't believe we have a concern myself, that channel shifts continuously. Councilman Smalley: I go back to my question, to approve a lease does it not have to have a time frame on it and what is it. Mayor Williams: We are not approving the lease only the lease - application. KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1988 PAGE 19 City Attorney Rogers: I would need instructions from the Council relative to the duration of the lease. MOTION AMENDMENT: Councilwoman Monfor moved to amend the lease to include 55 years, With Consent of Second City Attorney Rogers: I don't think I have any information on the costs. Administrative Assistant Howard: We did appraisal of both parcels which came in at $20,000 and we charged 6% of that or $1200 per year with $60 tax. Councilwoman Monfor: Let me state my motion over, -let me make it really clean. Mayor Williams: The motion is withdrawn with consent of second and we shall proceed. MOTION RESTATED: Councilwoman Monfor moved that we approve the lease request filling the desired length of lease for 55 years and that the cost will be $1200 per year plus tax at 6% of appraised value, seconded by Councilman McComsey Mayor Williams: Mr. Dragseth you are aware that policy is five year reappraisal adjustments. Councilman Smalley: Is there anyone here that was at the Harbor Commission meeting. Can you speak to why they selected a 30 year lease instead of 55. Mayor Williams: One of the members of the commission is a -retired Coast Guard gentleman and he is of course concerned about water ways and shifting channels. His concern is that the channel would shift towards the bank thus putting the dock in the channel obstructing traffic. Mr. Dragseth, with his engineer tried to present a case that that channel continually shifts and has not yet become an obstruction. I tend to agree and if that channel shifts sufficiently allowing that dock as an obstruction, then the Salamatof dock obstructing as well. I might also state that Mr. Nottingham from Nottingham and Peratrovich is with us if there are any questions. I went down to the river and visually inspected the operation and it looks like it will be first class. VOTE: Motion passed by Unanimous Consent 6.

The drawing is by Ron Rice, however, it doesn't have a seal on it. Perhaps you can approve my lease here tonight. City Attorney Rogers: I think they're moving toward that, I'm just indicating for the record that there are some things that have to be done before we can proceed. What you have may very well be sufficient, we'll let the engineer do that, but he can do that tomorrow. Mayor Williams: This lease application will be contingent upon the administration approving the drawings and everything. VOTE: Motion passed by Unanimous Consent 7. Discussion - Banner Across Spur Councilwoman Swarner: I envisioned a permanent place to hang banners such as between two utility poles, however, the utility poles are not directly across from each other on the Spur Highway. Councilwoman Monfor: We have the bicentennial coming up and I know that the high school has mentioned it for times like homecoming. There could be a number of times when we could use such a set up. Whatever it would be it would always be temporary. Mayor Williams: What we are suggesting to administration is that we seek out the cost of installing a pole or two poles for the purpose of supporting banners periodically. Councilwoman Swarner: I don't foresee needing any lighting, only the two poles. Councilman Smalley: With a pulley system. PW Director Kornelis: Do you have a location? Councilwoman Swarner: Can you come back with some information perhaps if it would be cheaper in one place than another. PW Director Kornelis: I would assume it would be the same anywhere as long as there were no problems. Councilwoman Monfor: It would have to be somewhere where there would be lights because if we had it in the darkest spot it would probably be gone. Councilman McComsey: I don't believe they are going to let you hook anything up to their street lights are they? PW Director Kornelis: I doubt it. Councilwoman Monfor: That's why we're talking about our own. But they could be close to it. Councilman McComsey: You're also going to have to get the state permission to put something in their right-of-way. -Councilwoman-Monfor: -If-they let us put our banners on the poles, why can't we do banners across the road?

City Attorney Rogers: I was concerned. My suggestion was that if they were concerned about piercing the corporate veil, in lieu of signing the document,- if we had, a collateral agreement that says it unconditionally guarantees the assignment of lease I would recommend approval. This is just an alternative.

City Manager I s a. In the last packet there was an info item from the Department 1 of Conservation dealing with the superfund law pertaining to the local emergency response plan asking you to participate. They also suggested that you consider having the Borough designated as such a -" district as opposed to the City. I would like you to direct me to at least to indicate to the Borough Mayor that the Council would like to see the Borough so designated. " Is it the intention of the Council that I should indicate to the Borough Mayor that this ought to be their responsibility? Answer from Council yes. b. Charlie Parker was in with an HEA petition. They are holding a public hearing for a rate increase for Homer Electric in Anchorage. His petition requests that they hold one in the Soldotna/Kenai area where a majority of their customers are. That petition is -.. upstairs, if there is no objection I will put it on the bulletin :_. board at the bottom of the stairs. c. I have become concerned about the Flight service Station and �._. have talked to Dick Mathews about the transfer of people. He has f indicated to me that there are seven new families in the area. Councilwoman Monfort in Kenai? I don't know for sure. The real problem is with the technical equipment that they need and as soon as that is in place, it is their expectation that three to four families per quarter will be moving into the community. He volunteered another situation, airways maintenance will have five new employees within the Kenai area within the next twelve f months that will be working from the City of Kenai. The hassle we went through about contracting for the weather data for the Flight Service Station has generated two more people in the Kenai area to cover the night time situation from the tower at a payroll cost of about $70,000. So not up to the schedule we were promised, they } are aware and are doing the best they can. d. I will be out of town next week attending the City Manager's 1 Convention in North Carolina. 1 3. Attorney a. There is a communication from Vic Krum, who is the attorney for the Burnetts and I am obligated to bring this to your attention in view of the fact that he has offered to resolve the potential complaint of the Jones' who he says he also represents. It is my advise and suggestion that you not enter into negotiations along -- -`- = -' the -lines -that -he is -suggesting; that I -pursue the litigation. We have drafted an answer to the complaint that he filed and we will - --- - - - - -- - -.. - be filing that. -You have a copy of .the complaint and if you_..have any questions, get in touch with me. If it is your desire to do t anything other than what I'm suggesting then we need to go into an S- i. a _ti a KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1988 PAGE 24 executive session. If not, his offer to compromise lapses on 10/31. I do not see how you can deal with the Jones claim without jeopardizing the Burnett claim. If there is no other direction from Council I will proceed with the litigation. Hearing no other instruction I will assume that is what Council desires. b. Regarding the Chulin matter, it is still dead. It has been dismissed until the federal question is resolved. Today we gave authority to finance to refund the money to Malston and Braun because the -title -has cleared. I assume if and when the federal question, relative to Mr. Chulin is resolved and the personal representative is found, that case may be refiled. c. As a result of the presentation made at the last Council r�meeting regarding beautification and building permits, there is a 1 memo on the state of the law that I finished today and passed out. 4. City Clerk a. I need the AML reservations by Friday. b. Commission/committee minutes - they were all in draft form, they were not edited at all. The secretary was directed to have the minutes ready for this packet and she did a great job in preparing draft copies. They will be corrected before being submitted to the various groups. It does not usually happen that three groups all want their minutes in the packet on such short notice. c. We are still having problems with commission/committee members not showing up for meetings. If you are an ad hoc member please remind them. We have sent out letters twice asking that they let us know ahead of time. We still have to pay the secretary if there is no quorum. It is happening often enough that it is creating a large sized problem. 5. Finance Director None 6. Public Works Director None 7. Airport Manager None J. DISCUSSION 1. Citizens a. Fr.

They are a fishing community but so is ,- the City of Kenai and down the road we may want to look into that. There were processors from Denmark and Iceland which they did not have in Seattle. Councilman Smalley: Minneapolis and St. Paul area also has a large fishing industry. Councilwoman Monfor: We have so many processing plants here and we're building our cold storage plant and we want people to see that the market is here and not all in Seattle. . c. Councilman Measles: Regarding the leaking roof at the airport, is it getting worse and what are we doing about it. The other day while in the terminal I noticed at the baggage claim end that there were several pails sitting there that had several inches of water. Airport Manager Ernst: That happens when the wind blows, the rain is blown under the flashing at the top portion of the terminal building. As I understand that it will be taken care of when the renovation of the south end is done. The rest of the roofing that -- needs taking care of is a line item maintenance cost to be funded _ in next year's budget request. I don't foresee a big problem once --. -- - -.,--- the snow starts.- Councilman Measles: Will you have that problem when the snow starts melting and pools on the roof. Airport Manager Ernst: That is only on windy, rainy days. - Councilman Measles: I am concerned about someone tripping over a : - garbage pail full of water while they have both hands full of luggage and they're backing up. -. d.

Consent Agenda MOTION: Councilman Measles moved approval of the Consent Agenda, seconded by Councilman McComsey VOTE: Motion passed by Unanimous Consent I B. SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT (10 Minutes) 1. Bill Kluge, Architect - Senior Center Building Expansion Mr. Kluge passed out copies of drawings to the Council. 1 Mr. Kluge: What this addition entails is; an addition to the dining room, provisions for dressing rooms for exercising and possibly a theater, storage facilities, and expanding the lounge. The plan includes expanding the solarium, providing storage for tables and chairs, and storage for the kitchen. The additional kitchen space allows for refrigerator and freezer. The plan is to keep the same elevation and roof line -and use existing windows and doors to cut costs. The proposed addition extends beyond the present property line. The seniors intend to purchase additional property from the City. I recommend they ' extend the property line down to the creek. If they had this project then a volunteer project could be to build a board walk T. down to the beach. 3 T: The estimate for the project is $450,000. Councilwoman Monfors The expansion is wonderful but I would like f. to know what happened to the basement because I had -understood that it would be cheaper. Mr. Kluge: We drew four different plans and originally I recommended against having a basement, basically because it is a seniors' building. They would have to have a - younger person carry materials stored in the basement to the upper levels. In discussions with the building inspector is was decided that in excavating the basement, they would be sloughing the ground beneath the existing foundation. The area of the basement — -- - - --- - - -`_ exceeding limits of the code for egress thus creating the need for two stairways. The end result is the cost of the basement and stairways and square footage would be about the same by doing it as ' i this plan calls for. ! City Manager: The land is in a green belt and it will have to be L r - i KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1988 PAGE 7 assign this lease to another entity, you're only assigning the lease to the real estate, they don't owe us anything except to meet the obligation of the lease which is a monthly payment. City Attorney Rogers: Those monthly payments in some instances have accrued to the extent of $50,000 before we were able to get our property back out of the bankruptcy court. City Manager Brighton: Does that mean that if the present lessee were to go into bankruptcy we're protected from that situation? Answer no. But we have more protection end -more collateral then the corporate entity. Often times there are two reasons for a corporation; one is the limited tax, and protection from liability should the corporation fail. Councilman McComsey: What you're saying is that if we lease land to a corporation and they took out bankruptcy then we can't do anything until the bankruptcy is settled. City Attorney Rogers: Yes, that is what has happened in the past. We have a severe problem with getting a timely release of the property that is in the possession of the bankruptcy court. In arguing the other side, and feels the city doesn't have any additional collateral I disagree. (portions of statement were inuadible) City Manager Brighton: As I understand what I'm told tonight is that we have no more protection for that lease under the existing circumstances than we have if it were assigned to the assignee who's intent is to help the economic situation by adding additional tax base and sales tax, perhaps even additional jobs and if we refuse without those signators we're right where we would be if we permitted the assignment because they don't have single signators on the present lease. Mayor Williams: While the information is merely heresy and conjecture at this point, the implication that possibly Mr. Thomas P. Moyer is not going to really be liable to the situation if he sells out to another company anyway. VOTE: Motion passed by roll call vote McComsey - yes Measles - yes Monfor - no O'Reilly - yes Swarner - yes Williams - yes . Smalley - yes Councilman McComsey: If Mr. Moyer sells -this -property to another entity, this has to come back before us does it not? City Attorney Rogers: I assume there would be another transfer.

Councilwoman Monfor: I'm not going to vote for this ordinance. I think it's too much money and the time isn't right to spend that money. We're getting a lot for the money, it's just that I don't feel comfortable putting the money out at this time. Councilman Smalley: When these figures first came out it was my understanding that they were less, why have they gone up. City Manager Brighton: First, the figures were substantially more. Mayor Williams explained the project to the new Councilman. We are on our second engineering firm and the designs that were brought back to us did include a substantial reduction from the original cost. However, they included a $50,000 redesign fee. The Council has discussed this over the last several months and the Council finally concluded that the fact that we had the money available to us in the airport funds, the fact that our bicentennial is coming up, the fact that the times are right for getting the best buildings for our money now, that A was the desire of the Council to move with the entire project. By shutting down now we can dispense with a lot of problems with leases that are waiting with the restaurant and bar and the whole project should be completed by next tourist season. Councilwoman O'Reilly: I'm going to support this ordinance. I think it's an improvement that we've talked about for a perio,' time, it's needed, the money is there in airport funds, and i good time for building, and perhaps it will come in for considerably less than this figure. Councilman McComsey: Those are my thoughts. This figure is set and we're hoping that it will come in lower than this.

Proposal from Mr. Kluge The drawings were reviewed by the Council. Council Recessed Bill Kluge: What we have before you is a proposal for the contract administrative services on the project and the services included revising the original documents, outlined on page two. We had to prepare an addendum to go with these documents for the restaurant and bar. it was also requested to include a roofing alternate. Because of the amounts of areas on the existing southern end of the airport being modified there will be quite a few holes and penetrations in that southern end. The first renovation in 1981 there is a distinct break between the old and new addition and I recommend that that roof area be included. it would be more economical to do that at the same time. There are three phases of our work; the first portion would be any work done on the drawings. The second phase is the bidding phase. The third phase is the actual contract administration. This also includes the inspections and we recommend three, one at the rough in stage, one at the intermediate stage and one at the final stage. We are basing these services on a six month construction period. Councilman McComseY: You said the price was set up on a six month construction, if it goes over six months would there be additional charges. Mr. Kluge: That's hard to say. After six months you would be into liquidated damages. Any additional services required of me after that time would be covered under the liquidated damages. Councilman McComsey: Not through the city but through the contractor? Mr. Kluge: That's what I would assume. PW Director Kornelis: The inspection contract sets the price at a not to exceed amount. The amount of hours that a person spends on that contract are based on the amount of construction time we put in the contract document. If the construction goes beyond that time, unless there are change orders or a prior agreement there are liquidated damages that are assessed against the contractor. If those liquidated damages are not spelled out to be used for that purposes, well we need to be sure it is in the contract. We are one of the few municipalities that are noted to do a special section on damages, in fact we had $85,000 taken from the dock job. However, this is a not to exceed figure and in order for him to get any more money.he-has to -get a written agreement with the city and he brings it to the Council. He will keep track -of his time -in -the field and -will be billing us for his time times the rates that are set in this proposal and we will pay him at those quotes that he - has put in there. There is a possibility that he still will not go over. FAM KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1988 PAGE 18 says that water lease goes to the uplands lease. So there's no discussion on whether that dock has to be pulled or not, that dock is in there for life. PW Director Kornelis: The Corps gave you that permit. Marvin Dragseth: The City too because the Corps couldn't give me a permit without every government agency in this world. PW Director Kornelis: Oh yes you do. Marvin Dragseth: Prior to 1983, the Corps issued me that permit in 1983 and they could not issue it without the City approval. At that time you didn't have to have the Borough approval, you don't now. PW Director Kornelis: We receive Corps of Engineers permits and they don't require our approval. They give us the notification of the permit someone is applying for and we have a right to object to it but we do not .... Marvin Dragseth: If you don't object, you approve. PW Director Kornelis: Not necessarily. Marvin Dragseth: Oh yes. PW Director Kornelis: We may not say anything, in fact it may have gone by us without any notification. Marvin Dragseth: Oh but it was advertised, there were fourteen agencies that have to approve that. Councilwoman Monfor: My question is what about, I understand the lease application, but what about this part that says, Royal Pacific approved a 30 year lease with an escape clause. Mayor Williams: No, under the Royal Pacific -request, it should say that the Harbor Commission approved the 30 year lease with an escape clause. Councilwoman Monfor: So Royal Pacific has not agreed to that and Mr. Powers has not agreed to his either. Larry Powers: Not for anything less than 55 years if I can do that. Marvin Dragseth: I have a 55 year lease on the uplands and the water lease should agree with that. Councilwoman Monfor: In the last 35 years, how much has that river changed? Mayor Williams: Let me bring back to the Council's attention, the conversation by the Harbor Commission. They were concerned that if the channel changed that the dock itself may obstruct the traffic. There were others who felt that if the channel changed to the point that the traffic were obstructed because of the dock, most certainly the down river dock, Salamatof would be in much more jeopardy because of the action. If it ever occurred, there definitely be something done by the Corps or some agency. I don't believe we have a concern myself, that channel shifts continuously. Councilman Smalley: I go back to my question, to approve a lease does it not have to -have a -time -frame on it and what -is -it. Mayor - Williams: We are not approving the lease only the lease application. i Y • KENAI CITY COUNCIL - MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1988 PAGE 22 b.

Williams Mayor City of Kenai 210 Fidalgo Kenai, AK 99611 Dear Mayor Williams: Thanks again for taking the time last week to speak with us about the pressing need for economic development incentives. We know you are busy, so your willingness to remain after the Chamber meeting and spend part of your afternoon with us was especially meaningful. We realize that what we presented was conceptual in nature and that, to fully assess our ideas, you will need more detailed information. That information will be provided soon. Bills are being drafted by our legal counsel and we are having background research done on the experience of other states and cities. When the final product is done, we think you will find it both responsible and exciting in its implications for Alaska. As we mentioned, Alaska is almost unique in that it has virtually no incentives that communities can use to attract new industry or help existing industry expand. Yet given our uncertain economic outlook, Alaska needs a broad and flexible incentive package more desperately than any other U.S. state. Before the start of the 1989 legislative session, we will visit you again and provide details and back-up. We look forward to working with you on this. Sincerely, Scott E.

PURPOSE 6 INTENDED USE Place gravel fill on leased wetland area north of the existing pad to provide space for expansion of plant facilities, additional boat storage and construc- tion of buildings to house boat fabrication and repair shops, electronic equip- ment shops and mini storage for fisherman's gear. The proposed gravel pad is to be constructed between a sea wall placed along the 1979 Meander of Mean High Water and the west line of the lease. Develop- ment is to be in three phases with Phase I being the southerly 250 feet and containing around 30,800 cubic yards of material to be done in 1985. Phase II with 28,100 cubic yards and Phase In with 30,.400 cubic yards are slated for construction in 1987 and 1989 respectively and are both subject to change. The depth of the fill varies and is controlled by the elevation of the exist- ing pad, 30 feet plus or minus. The average fill depth is approximately 5 11 feet. The fill will be retained on the east by an extension of the existing sea wall constructed of wood timbers or sheet piles. The south'side will be retained against the existing fill with the west and north sides allowed to assume the natural angle of repose. Phase III will fill a tidal trench that presently runs along the north side of the, existing pad. This trench runs from the river by the processing plant across:the flats and reconnects with the river near the mouth. It handles natural and tidal runoff for the area in close proximity to the proposed pad. Billing this trench will eleiminate erosion problems near the river bank and will cause very little increase in the amount of water ponding in the trench due to natural runoff. All gravel fill materials will be obtained locally from a commercial gravel suooly and hauled to rho airea,hv r'''ucks over the access road to the existing L ' Typical North -:South Cross Section j t L2t 2 50, 210' 19 9. 23' L�t Kenai 1 PHASE I PHASE 7I PHASE Zlt I Proposed Fill Original Ground .

My records show that you discussea with me such a rescission on October 13, 1988. You may want to alter your records to reflect your error. As your lease for the above -referenced property is billed annually, the Finance Department has informed me that there are monies owing in the amount of $776.86, representing a prorated lease charge from July 1, 1988 to October 31, 1988, including penalties and interest. Without payment of these monies to bring the account current, I doubt that the Council would even consider a mutual rescission. Please be aware that your request, along with a copy of this letter, will be included in the packet and placed on the agenda for the Council Meeting of November 2, 1988. You may desire to be present or have a representative attend that meeting in order to address any questions that may arise.

The special design of the Zig-Zag Monocable logging system allows the transportation of logs over small creeks, wet areas, through undisturbed forest, and up and down hills to a central gathering area. The system can cover areas of two to ten acres per set up. The yarder will normally handle logs up to 400 pounds and 18 feet long. A -two person crew can operate the yarder efficiently. Opera- tional tests have shown that, once harvested trees are down and the system laid out, an Inexperienced crew can yard more than half a cord per hour and an experienced crew can harvest 1.6 cords per hour. Additional two -person crews can be employed at any section along the cable lay out to Increase production. This yarder, developed In Japan, is believed to be especially well -suited to Alaskan conditions due to its relative transportability, simple design, low cost and ease of fabrication from readily avail- able component pants. Cost for the entire unit is approximately $10.000 to $15,000 depending upon the length of cable and the number of blocks used. Many of the component pans may be available locally. This light -weight cable system Is an excellent tool for thinning dense stands of birch or spruce. Wheel or track vehicles, which can crush the roots and scar the stems of young trees, need not be used. Road building Is not necessary. The small diameter mat- erial removed can be used for posts, poles, timbers, small house logs, or firewood. The remaining high quality "crop trees" are left undamaged with room to grow more rapidly to sawlog or houselog size. The Zig-Zag system has a continuous loop of cable (1/4 to 9/16 Inch diameter) called a "monocable." The cable runs through a series of specially designed open -sided blocks called Zig-Zag blocks. These blocks are suspended from support trees by tree -pro- tective straps. Support trees are located to span such critical areas as slope breaks, fragile soil, streams and wetlands. The monocable is driven by a capstan winch. Logs are attached to the moving monocable by tying or hooking chokers to the cable, consequently, the logs travel continuously from the hooking loca- tions to the landing. Various materials such as nylon cord, bating twine, or similar materials can be used as chokers. When the logs reach the landing, the choker is either cut with a knife or an automatic cutter can be used. The logs are then either dropped to the ground to be piled by hand or dropped directly me7ag-no morrocable system Is designed to allow the hanapor- 1010on of logs over small creeks, wet areas and undisturbed forest to a central gathering area. it Is Ideally suited for Alaska due to its relative fransporlablllry, simple design, low cost and ease of fabri- cation from reaft available component parts. into the bed of a truck. The system Is similar to a continuous conveyer belt. The mention of trade names crthe particular sources of procure- ment does not constitute endorsement of the products by USDA. The various places of equipment can be purchased through other sources or constructed by a machine ship except for the Zig-Zag blocks which are presently only manufactured in Japan. The USDA interest is only in the promotion of the Zig-Zog yarding concept through the USDA Technology Transfer Program. Workshop to focus on world markets The Alaska Center for International Business at the University of Alaska, Anchorage will conduct a workshop In Anchorage, De- cember 7 to help Southeast Alaska's timber industry market hem- lock, spruce and cedar products In Asian markets. The workshop will cover recent market developments In Japan, Korea, China and Taiwan and their Impact on Southeast Alaskan processors. In addition, success requirements for suppliers in gen- eral and specific opportunities for marketing processed products will also be addressed. The workshop will focus on specific Issues requested by mem- bers of the Industry. For suggestions on workshop content or further information, please contact the ACIB at (907) 661.2322. Japanese Markets ... (continued from page 3) of wood housing. Each of these efforts Is designed to expand the building Industry, thus expanding the market for panels and solid wood products. Decreasing supplies of high grade softwoods worldwide are threatening the stable -flow of quality wood products into the Japanese market. In an effort to secure supplies and reduce processing costs. many Japanese importers and processors are entering Into joint ventures and other types of relationships with foreign suppliers. Many. of these relationships call for the Import Of finished and semi -finished products rather than round logs. rage o 1 DUMMAL f-ummil / 19au 10 Often the Japanese partners are willing to provide capital. technical training, and marketing services In exchange for a committed supply over the long term. This type of relationship could be particularly beneficial to Alaska due to the high quality Alaskan resource, the scarcity, of capital for expansion and the close ties between Alaska and Japan. As these trends unfold, opportunities are being created and capitalized upon by Alaskans and other suppliers In North America. The forest products Industry, always fiercely dynamic, promises to be Increasingly exciting for exporters to Japan. X J 1 Laminated veneer lumber offers many tadvanta es may be more profitable � � y Laminated veneer lumber (LVL), sometimes referred to as parallel laminated veneer (PLV), has been developed to utilize the strength properties of natural wood along the grain. LVL is made from wood veneers laminated with parallel grain (fibers). LVL may be more profitable than sawn lumber. A ton (ovendry basis) of barky logs can yield as much as 509/6 more lumber If rotary peeled for laminated lumber than if sawn, according to wood scientist Dr. Peter Koch. Illustration 1 shows this advantage of LVL over sawn lumber, particularly when small logs are the material source. When wood is sawn, the outer ring is either sawn or chipped off, In order to - create a rectangular solid, which is further "ripped" Into lumber. Under many circumstances the outer wood, being chipped or slabbed off, Is the clearest (sans knots) portion of a tree bole. Also the interior portion of the cross section, which ends up as lumber when sawn, is more apt to have wide spaced growth rings and other wood characteristics which can result in weax lumber. Conversely, rotary peeling uses the outer portion of the log and the waste comes from the middle. Illustration I Recovery when sawing, peeling small logs Sawn Log Peeled Log As an example. If the logs In Illustration 1 are 12•inch diameter Cylinders, 8 feet long, the left picture, representing one potential sawing pattern, would result in gross meausre 4.30 cubic feet solid wood potential recovery from a 6.28 cubic foot cylinder (about 88 percent). The right, peeled to a 2 inch core, would result in 8.10 cubic feet gross recovery (97 percent) from the same size Cylinder. LVL, a veneer product, like plywood, is solic wood, with all the advantages, and few of the drawbacks, of naturally occurring wood, with better recovery from a log than sawing. Because of he superior strength properties and tow piece to piece variability, it is superbly suited for use in engineered wood products such as I•beams and trusses. Wood is antsotroptc, meaning its -strength properties- vary-ac-cording to the orientation of the grain with respect to forces acting upon it. For example, in tension and in stiffness (i.e., modulus of elasticity) wood Is approximately 50-60 times stronger along the ( grain than across the grain. For this reason, panels made with randomly oriented particles cannot be as strong in bending or stiffness as the original wood in its natural grain direction. Laminated veneer lumber takes advantage of this anisotrople nature of wood by having the grain of the different plys oriented In parallel. This arrangement overcomes the inherent weakness In sawn lumber which is associated with density variations which result from branches and variable tree growth. On the other hand, LVL is made up of many layers of thin veneer with randomly distributed defects, none of which atone can influence the strength characteristics of the piece as much as the some defect going through a sawn board. In other words, a knot, or knothole does not go through the depth of an LVL plank, only through an individual veneer. The some for wild grain, which Is buttressed by straight grain In adjoining plys. LVL can be manufactured from wood of less size or quality (less expense) to the same dimensions, or larger, than naturally occurring wood. All these advantages means LVL has the potential of being a product that Is comparatively easy to make, with high relative value, like sawn lumber. LVL is shock resistant, resistant to chem- Icals, has sound deadening and insulation (heat and electric) qual- ities and Is readily worked with simple tools. Illustration 2 Uses for laminated veneer lumber (LVL) Plank Soled Beam (illustration 2 depicts typical uses for LVL.) In all cases It can l be used as a substitute for sawn lumber. Illustration 3 shows the j difference between LVL and plywood. To an untrained eye the difference between parallel and cross laminating may appear tri- vial, but any handling of the material reveals the Inherent differ- ences and the lumber qualities of LVL.

As you know, the widening of that road is slated in the Kenai Peninsula Highway Transportation Six Year Plan. Even though construction will not be for sometime; preliminary planning is taking place now. The bike/safety path funding may not be paid for by the same sources as the road widening; however it is logical that there would be a costs savings if constructed when the road is wided.

Re: Proposed Regulations Cormming Detachment from Boroughs r Dear Mr. Bettisworth: c°'� ` �'",'• This acknowledges receipt of your letter of September 28,1986 asking for comments on proposed changes to regulations in the Alaska Administrative Code regarding proposals to detach territory from Boroughs. Soldotna has an interest in these regulations because it has been reported that a petition is being circulated to detach the northwest part of the Kenai Peninsula Borough and to form a new borough in that area. It is our understanding that the territory proposed for detachment will include Nikiski, all of the City of Kenai, an area of Cook Inlet where the offshore oil and gas platforms are located, and a portion of the territory on the West side of Cook Inlet where the property contains extensive petroleum and coal reserves. The City of Soldotna has taken a position in opposition to this detachment proposal because it would "rip off' more than half of the Kenai Peninsula Borough's assessed valuation and thereby result in lower quality public services and/or higher local taxes in the territory that would be -left in the rest of the borough. The Soldotna City Council reviewed the proposed changes to the regulations at a meeting held October 3,1988. The Council concluded that the changes would help to "better" define factors to be used in determining whether to approve or reject detachment proposals, but we have some suggestions for some additional changes. The detachment proposed for the Northwest part of the Kenai Peninsula Borough contains A of the Kenai peninsula Borough's largest taxpayers and 97% of this Borough's oil and gas assessed valuation. Carving out political subdivisions to skim off the cream of the tax base at the expense of other areas is bad public policy. The regulations should address, in some way, a means to prohibit such obvious "gerrymandering". Please consider adding another factor for the Boundary Commission to evaluate when considering detachment proposals, such as the following: "the- extent to which the proposed detachment will gerrymander, boundaries to give_ special advantages to one group of residents at the expense of others, The Kenai Peninsula Borough spends most of its money for schools. The northwest Kenai Peninsula Borough detachment proposal is likely to require increased state and local spending for schools in the remainder of the Borough where needs for educational services are greater. L 7 t�� r�1 r i- ' r We think it would be appropriate for you to consider: "whether the proposed detachment will affect state or local funding for schools and the constitutional right of every Alaska child to a basic education as it relates to: school facilities; curriculum offerings, employment of instructional and classified staff, staffing ratios and salaries, and, special education services for handicapped, gifted or minority students;" The Kenai Peninsula Borough and School District is Soldotna's largest employer. Soldotna'* next Ingest employer is the Central Peninsula Hospital, a service area of the Kenai Peninsula Borough which includes the territory proposed for detachment. A proposal to detach the northwest area of the Kenai Peninsula Borough would result in a loss in the number of jobs in Soldotna. Would you please consider another factor to evaluate, such as ,,the extent to which the proposed detachment will have the effect of moving Jobs from one commuting area to another commuting am" The Central Peninsula Hospital serves an area with a population of approximately 27,347. The area proposed for detachment contains a population of approximately 10,715. It would not be cost effective to establish a second hospital for the northern part of the service area. A second hospital would duplicate existing investments in plant, equipment and services. A second hospital In this area would cause operating losses at both institutions and, thereby create requirements for additional local tax subsidies. Your suggested language at 19 AAC 10.230(6) should adequately cover the efficiency issues related to hospital services. We thank you for this opportunity to provide review comments on the proposed regulations. Sincerely, Dolly Farnsworth Mayor of Soldotna Don Giknan, Mayor, Kenai Peninsula Borough Pat O'Connell, Assembly Member, Kenai Peninsula Borough John Williams, Mayor, City of Kenai John Calhoun, Mayor, City of Homer Harry Gieseler, Mayor, City of Seward Gerald Willard, Mayor, City of Seldovia Victoria Pugd, Mayor, City of Kachemak - 1(t49IVEQSEP3oj988 .:_.

As such, I have enclosed a copy of the notice of proposed changes to the existing regulations of the Local Boundary Commission (LBC) concerning this matter. I have also enclosed a copy of - the proposed changes to the regulations for your review. Portions of the text which are capitalized and enclosed by brackets are proposed to be deleted from the existing regulations. Portions of the text which are underlined are proposed to be added to the existing regulations. The principal changes proposed in the regulations involve the identification of factors to be used by the LBC to judge whether a detachment proposal meets a requisite finding of 'best interests". For the most part, the proposed factors were used by the LBC in judging actual detachment proposals acted upon previously. It is intended that the proposed changes will more fully Identify the factors used by the LBC in judging such matters. Doing so will not only assist the LBC, but will also provide better guidance to petitioners and others involved in such matters. The LBC would appreciate any comments you may wish to offer concerning this matter. The enclosed notice provides complete i nat rnet i nna fnr tha Auhmtssion of comments. Sincerely, -C.B.

SEPTEMBER 20. 1988 Mrs. McGahan objected to the addition on the basis of lack of notification to the public. Mrs. Phillips asked if it was necessary that it be adopted at this meeting.Mr. Boedeker stated it was vern critical because if present funding runs out before the project is complete, it would have be be discontinued before the next meeting (Oct. 11). Mrs. Phillips again objected to the item being laid on the desk at the meeting rather than having been included in the packet and did not wish to have it happen again.

Mr. McLane requested Res. 88-79 be placed on the Consent Agenda. Mr. Nash requested Ord. 88-39 and Ord. 88-40 be placed on the Consent Agenda for setting hearing on November 1, 1988. Mrs. Phillips noted the additional list from Bear Creek Fire S.A. to be added to the surplus property listing attached to Res. 88-79. Mr. Nash supported Mrs. Phillips' request that administration make some effort to contact the Assembly and news media in advance when a critical item because of timing fails to make the packet deadline. Pros. Sewall offered public opportunity to speak on Consent Agenda items and there were no comments.

Sewall passed the gavel to Mr. Carey in order to comment that 4�' ' upon his return to the state this date. the City of Seward contacted him with concerns regarding some problems that exist. He felt since the workshop -had been postponed until Spring there would be no impact - - t from the delay of the ordinance. ASSEMBLYMEMBER SEWALL MOVED TO POSTPONE ORD. 88-31 UNTIL THE NEXT { MEETING AND REFER TO THE LOCAL AFFAIRS CMTE. Mr. Sewall believed this would allow time for discussions between the City of Seward, the Borough administration and Mr. Fenner regarding issues that may be communication problems. Mr. Skogetad reported in his conversations with the City, he felt the concern was not with the ordinance but with a report that was done on contract through the Planning Dept. regarding the flooding of 1986. Mr. Fenner stated he had spoken with the Seward Mayor that day and he agreed the problem was with the report, not the mitt ation strategy. He had no argument with postponement but state city administration had been given a copy of the proposal and were aware the ordinance was on this agenda. MR. SEWALL WITHDREW HIS MOTION TO POSTPONE. The gavel was returned to Pros. Sewall. ORDINANCE 88-31 WAS ENACTED BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT.

Ord. 86-35 SB8T "Repealing KPB 17.60 Forest and Timber Resources and Reenacting as 17.50 Forest Management" (Local Affairs Cmte.) ASSEMBLYMEMBER SKOGSTAD MOVED TO ENACT ORD. 88-35. Mr. Skogstad reported Local Affairs Cmte. has discussed the ordinance at length. He stated the only difference between the original and the substitute was in the organization of them. He wished to make a couple of amendments to the accompanying resolution at the proper time. Public hearing was opened. Duane Anderson, Kenai, stated the ordinance should be enacted although it was not perfect it could be amended as necessary. He believed it was necessary to enable timber resources to be harvested. He urged the assembly not to waste this resource. He noted there are parts of the forest that are fire prone. He objected to section 17.50.030, the personal use concept, as counter to sound forest management. He stated it produces an atmosphere similar to a fire sale and results in ruined land. Speaking from the perspective of a timber processing person. he stated they depend on sales of volume which are available from the state forest lands. It was not a selfish motive to urge personal use be eliminatedt he believed ready cut firewood was economical to purchase from the permit holders. He stated a person intent on cutting his own could take from permissive neighbors who's property is overgrown with species other than spruce, which is what would be commercially harvested. Public hearing was closed. ASSEMBLYMEMBER SKOGSTAD MOVED TO AMEND TO ORD. 86-35(SBST) AND TO FURTHER AMEND THE SUBSTITUTE BY CHANGING 17.50.040(A), "2 weeks" TO "30 days" AND TO ADD 17.50.035 "Forest Management Sale Report (A) Prior to disposal of forest resources the Planning Commission shall adopt a Forest Management Sale Report. The Forest Management Sale Report shall set terms and conditions for the sale as set forth in KPB 17.50,040 and such additional terms as may be set by the Planning Commission Pursuant to this Chapter. (B) The action of the Planning Commission in adopting the Forest Management Sale Report is appeal- able to the Assembly. An appeal suspends the effect of the Planning Commission action for 30 days. The Assembly shall hear the appeal within 30 days and approve, reject or modify the Forest Management Sale Report. If the appeal is not heard within 30 days, the action of the Planning Commission shall be deemed upheld and the appeal considered as denied." Mrs. Phillips wished to make sure notification was published in the area. of the Borough most effected by the sales. Mr. Skogstad believed that would be taken care of in an amendment proposed for the accompanying resolution. Mr. Hodgins asked if areas of harvest would be clearly marked so that timber would not be accidentally taken from adjoining property. Mr. Skogstad that provision was in the resolution. Pros. Sewall passed the gavel to Vice Pros. Carey in order to address the problems that can arise with personal use. He did not believe it was necessarily-unmanaged--uee.-- He had participated in such a program in Vermont where it was managed correctly. The gavel was returned to Pros. Sewall. Z'O a1MUIR III KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH ASSEMBLY REGULAR MEETING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1.988 Mrs. McGahan stated a prior situation of poor handling of personal intent to have it — cutting had prompted this ordinance. It was their availab le, but properly managed, as the State of Alaska also provides tv . _ for. Mr. Nash asked when the Forest Management Sale Report would be _ repared. Mr. Sko stad stated the resolution sets out the guidelines be taken to a or preparation o? the sale report which would then public meeting in the Iocals of the sale and a report would be _ prepared for Planning Commission approval. Mr. Nash asked if a determination had been made of approximate cost of site investigation and other procedures. Mr. Skogstad stated the the Borough will j pproposed sales listed in the resolution are programs be taking over from the State when title to the lands are received. He acknowledged acknowledged there would be costs involved in avoiding problems encountered in the past by adjoining property owners. Fees from , -- - — -- commercial sales will partially offset the cost. - THE SKOGSTAD AMENDMENT WAS APPROVED BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT. Mr. Nash urged defeat of the ordinance due to the fact that major ' portions of the program would be set out in a resolution rather than a codified ordinance which would be available to all the communities be through the Borough Code. He believed the present code could { slightly modified to provide all the advantages of the new ordinance - - - - with resolution being proposed. Most of the provisions are the same foreclosed lands were as the existing code except with it, tax specifically excluded since after one year they are redeemable by the -- former owner. if in the meantime the value has been reduced by a timber sale, the owner would have to be compensated. Another omission in new ordinance is "use areas" that would eat aside for specific uses certain areas where a trend could be seen, for instance where there was heavy beetle kill. He questioned other changes or procedures that were transferred to the resolution such as notifica- tion of plan, age of permit applicant, borough business license, and previous permit violators. Mrs. McGahan stated her understanding was that the existing ordinance was not administrable and staff had contributed to the revised ordinance. She felt the reference in the ordinance to the Forest Management Plan would advise an interested party to go to the Planning Dept. for the plan and application. She reported the committee had spent much time on this ordinance and held hearings in Cooper Landing for public input. Mr. Skogetad stated that although the existing ordinances sets out a 1eneral framework for timber sales, the resolution to accompany 8-35(Sbst) would flesh out the regulations. They had been advised by staff that provisions were lacking to put together a timber sale. Mr. Carey asked Atty. Boedeker if this ordinance was defeated it would mean there could be no timber sales this winter. Attyy. Boedeker stated the forest management plan in the resolution could be adopted under the existing ordinance to provide for a sale. He also stated the prohibition against using tax foreclosed lands was not necessary as the Borough is under legal restraints against doing so j anyway although it could serve as a reminder. t§ Mr. Nash stated he would like to see Ord. 88-35 defeated, Section 1 of Res. 88-78 deleted which takes it out of the code, and have the remainder adopted which is the forest management plan that has been needed for four years.

The Planning Department shall hold local public meetings in the areas of proposed timber disposals upon distribution of the FMSR. i Mrs. Phillips asked if it would be December before a timber sale could be expected. ASSEMBLYMEMBER PHILLIPS MOVED TO AMEND TO EXEMPT THE FIRST 10 AREAS LISTED FOR TIMBER DISPOSAL IN SECTION 3 FROM THE 60 DAY NOTICE OF SALE. Mr. Nash stated these are problems he had alluded to earlier, stating it would have to get on the Planning Commission's agenda in October in order to have a sale this year. Mr. Fenner reported most of the sales identified in Section 3 have already been issued prior to the Borough receiving patent to the land. The others (9 and 12) will follow the forest management sale report procedure and these sales will occur in December or January. He stated Planning to working with the Division of Forestry on the timber sales at this time which will include some personal use. j ASSEMBLYMEMBER PHILLIPS WITHDREW HER AMENDMENT. Mrs. Phillips stated her intent was to get firewood for users this winter but it seemed with the schedule stated it was a moot point. Mrs. McGahan stated her understanding that a representative from Division of Forestry told the committee most of the work for the sale near Troublesome Creek (012) was done and could be prepared quickly. She asked what happened to the timber from Nikiski Escape Road Phase I and Mr. Mohorcich replied it went to personal use through terms of the clearing contract. Mr. Nash commented on the expected need for additional staff and funding if the ordinance was adopted. He pointed out other similarities and differences in the wording of the resolution and the existing ordinance. ASSEMBLYMEMBER MOOCK MOVED TO AMEND PARAGRAPH E ON PAGE 2 BY STRIKING "one year" AND INSERTING "12 months" INSTEAD AND AMENDING THE LAST SENTENCE TO READ "The Borough may grant and extension of time with the concurrence of the Planning Commission." Pres. Sewall passed the gavel in order to speak against the second 1 half of the amendment, believing one year for personal use permits_ 1 was the outside length of time a piece of land should be tied up.- Atty. Boedeker stated his concern with the amendment, noting the languagge does not address under what circumstances the extension would be granted or set criteria, or supply a time frame for applying for the extension. -6- ��rN�tris KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH ASSEMBLY REGULAR MEETING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1988 ' y ASSEMBLYMEMBER MOOCK WITHDREW THE SECOND PORTION OF THE AMENDMENT (second sentence of Paragraph E). >r - - - Mr. McLane believed the amendment unnecessary as it does not state a J.. calendar year and could be interpreted as a season.

Glick stated the ordinance was requested when Title 29 was revised.. in order to bring the Code- in line with State Statutes. In committee some increases in interest rates were questioned.- She stated the ordinance was written with the maximum rates allowed n ,. -----------•-------. - the Title revision but it does not mean they cannot be changed if the - - Assembly so desires. At present. Anchorage charges the maximum. �� Juneau is at 10 and 10x, Mat Su Borough would probably follow suit with this ordinance and Fairbanks is in the process of revising also. _7- _ r t; KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH ASSEMBLY REGULAR MEETINGS SEPTEMBER 20, 1988 Mr. Carey reported Finance Cmte, discussed the ordinance and recommended it be set for hearing and referred to Finance Cmte. Mr. Skogstad reported Local Affairs Cmte, recommended it be held in committee until clarification on the interest rates and other questions which No. Schmidt (author) could answer on her return. Mrs. McGahan and Mr. O'Connell spoke against setting for hearing with the maximum interest rates allowed set in it. They believed it should first go to committee for modification before setting for hearing. Mr. Nash believed the ordinance would make clear the Borough is not a lending institution and those who choose not to pay taxes place a greater burden an who do. The changes would not effect people who are paying their taxes in a timely manner. Mr. Keene stated people who have seasonal work away from home some- times miss the August 15 deadline and to penalize them 20% would be severe. Perhaps it could be modified to apply to a delinquency of more than 30 or 60 days. Mrs. McGahan did not believe it was fair to assume all delinquencies were a matter of choice on the part of the taxpayer. ORD. 88-34 WAS SET FOR HEARING BY A VOTE OF 10 YES TO 4 NO: YES: Nash, Keene.

Mrs. McGahan recalled numerous times some means of obtaining funds for the Ninilchik Bout Harbor had been sought as it is heavily used bq the Cook Inlet commercial fishing fleet but without much success. She believed Port Graham with viable village status should be able to obtain funding without the Borough's sponsorship. She also did not feel a Port Graham port, if built, would have universal use, due to its location. Mr. Keene stated as a commercial fisherman in the Southern District he had sometimes found quiet water in the Port Graham area when bad weather arose during his tripe south and he felt such a port would be of value.

Ron Rice. of Rice Whitford 6 Associates, engineering consultant for the project, provided a detailed description of the unexpected problems encountered in the process of solidifying the contents of the waste site pits. He reported a shortage of money to complete the project resulted from the recent discovery that the first wastes deposited in the pits were covered With clean soil and then the pits were filled, creating the illusion that the pits were not as deep as they turned out to be. He wanted to be able to complete the project prior to freezeup. which might occur after money had run out but before the next Assembly meeting on October 11.

A post was established by Russian fur traders in 1791, and later the U.S. Army built a fort where the modern city of Kenai now stands. With the coming of all exploration in the Swanson River area and Cook inlet in the 1950s. Kenai grew as an important locus of the petro- chemical industry. The Kenai River, below the southern bluffs of Kenai, Is a very special river. In the spring, the largest strain of chinook or king salmon in the world swim mightily upstream to spawn.

Kenai is an important commercial fishing area as well, with a large and active fleet plying the waters of Cook Inlet just offshore. The Kenai City Dock Is a convenient and busy place during the fishing season, providing a variety of services to the seafood industry. The dock presently has three loading stations, two of which are leased to processing companies. Cranes on the dock can handle loads up to eight tons for loading and unloading of fish and supplies. There also are two ramps for launching boats. Both gas and diesel fuel are available at the dock, along with septic and waste oil holding facilities, water wash - r down and steamcleaning, and showers and restrooms. There is a 50-ton tidal repair grid for boats up to 40 feet In length. The dock office has telephones and CS and VHF communications. The City of Kenai, which owns and operates the dock, has plans to expand the present 600-foot square staging and parking area, it also is applying for a grant to build a $1.8 million cold stor- age facility with a capacity of 5 million pounds of fish. With all -year highway links to the Kenai Peninsula and the Railbelt and close proximity to a jet port, Kenai City Dock is conveniently located for quick transport of perishable seafood cargoes. 1 i I Oowntown Kenai I (vJ Q a Qo Kenai River I Ramp l City Dock 0 0 Kenai River L PORTS ALASKA DIRECTORY 27 i I I _ 5 _ r.

Bill Evans, Vice President of Cresa McCormick, and Paget, a national manage ment consulting firm specializing in analysis of government organizational structures and performance, will be the keynote speaker for the 38th AML Local Government Con- ference. Speaking at Wednesday's opening luncheon on the topic "How Well Is Your Municipality Serving Its Citizensi' Evans will give practical advice on evaluating local government performance and finding ways to cut costs without cutting services. Widely known as an excellent speaker in such forums as National league of Cities and National Association of Counties con- ferences, Evans recently gave the keynote ad- dress for the conference of the Wisconsin Association of Couidits. ClBorough Formation: Twenty -Five Years after the Mandatory Borough Act 1Wenry-five years ago the Mandatory Borough Act, HB 90, was passed by the Alas- ka State Legislature. The impact of that act, which gave eight designated election districts the option to voluntarily incorporate under the 1961 Borough Formation Act or be formed by action of the State, will be the focus of a forum scheduled for Thursday noon, November 17, at the AML Confer- ence. Local and state government leaders, past and present, will discuss the effects of the act, which forced the formation of the An- chorage, Matanuska-Susitna, Fairbanks North Star, and Kenai FL-ninsula Boroughs. Reflections of the past will be applied to the present in the discussion. John Rader, who served as Minority Leader of the House in 1963 and is widely known as the "Father of the Mandatory Borough Act," and Ron Saroff, former Director of Planning - nd Research for the State of Alaska, deputy i3hairman of the 1967 Greater Juneau Charter Commission, and co-editor of the MefropoWn Experiment in Alaska: A Study of Borotrglr Government, will participate in the forum, as will current Alaskan leaders. ALASKA MUNICIPAL LEAGUE � _ 94 October 1988 The FAX (Survey Results) Are In and Machines Are Available AML members responded well to this fall's survey of facsimile machine (fax) use and ownership. As a result, the League was able to negotiate a group purchase arrangement with The Office Place that will enable AML members to purchase Ricoh fax machines at a substantial discount off list price. Seventy municipalities responded to our survey: of those, 30 already own a fax machine, and another 20 use a machine that belongs to another government agency or private firm. twenty-five indicated a possible Interest in purchasing a machine. In response to members' interest in possi- ble purchases of fax machines and as a mem- ber service, AML has reached an agreement with The Office Place to enable municipal members to purchase the Ricoh Fax 20 ma- chine, which has a variety of features in- cluding autodialer, send -later capability, recorded voice announcement, error report, automatic paper cutter, and 10-page docu- ment feeder, for $1,571, including shipping, a 35 percent discount. Associate members can purchase the Fax 20 for $1,895. other machines are also available at a discount for members with special needs. For more infor- mation on -this group purchase plan or to order a machine, contact Steve Culbreath at 786.5145. Those responding to our survey, loved their fax machines. They are "faster, efficient, and not time-consuming;' "more dependable than mail and great for price quotes," and "extremely useful" according to AML mem- bers. Judy Mayhew, Unalaska City Clerk, wrote about their machine, "We love our fax machine ... carft figure out why we wafted so long to get one --they are greatl" The Aleutians Fast Borough has tied its six communities and its Anchorage office to. gether via fax machines and sends notices for meetings and elections, correspondence, items to review, and other materials imme- diately to Its assembly members and others. In explaining why she likes the fax setup, Marjorie Dunaway, Clerk of the Borough, said, ,we used to rely on expensive speed- pak service with airlines, plus mail time is un- predictable in remote Alaska, especially with weather considerations." just like the copier and the computer, fax machines are no longer a luxury; they are be- coming a necessity, with more and more businesses using them. In 1983, more than 50,000 U.S. businesses had fax machines. By 1985,145,000 machines had been Installed, and this year the total will reach 710,000. Projections for 1990 are for well over 1 mil- lion machines to be in place in the United States alone. The use of fax technology is not limited to private businesses. The State of Alaska directory lists 131 fax machines loca- ted in various state offices, and as mentioned at least-30 AML member municipalities al -- ready own machines and another 20 have access to a machine owned by another agen- cy. The-i989 municipal offJdsfs 01mcM►y- will include fax numbers for municipalities. No fancy wiring is needed to install a fax machine, just a modular phone jack and a standard 110 electrical outlet and you are ready to start faxing. It is recommended that (Continued on page 6) Ar— L1 r_. i AML RA News Are You Ready? When will the next insurance crisis arrive? Experts disagree on the timing of the next crisis, but few predict that the current soh market will last long. Hurricane Gilbert could have provided the impetus for tighten- Ing the market if it had struck the Gulf Coast with predicted Intensity. Fortunately, only moderate damage to the insurance industry resulted. Much of Gilbert's destruction was concentrated in areas where insurance is not widespread. The AMUJIA provides some stability in a hardening Insurance market because our premiums are based largely on participant losses and are not affected by the forces that drive the traditional insurance cycles. To date the JIA participants have experi- enced no major claims under the JIA pro- gram. The overall loss experience appears to be very favorable. Although we still have a long time to go before we close out the year, at this rate we should be in fine shape. Your efforts are being rewarded? For Information on how to join the AMUJIA, please contact John George, Acting Insurance Administrator, at the AMUJIA of- fice, 586.1325. Control Your Losses — Control Your Costs Dudngthe past few months AMUJIA parti• cipants have called the JIA to make sure that a variety of particular activities were covered by their insurance. IIA coverage is extremely broad and our answer invariably is that the exposure is covered. We always try to make the point, however, that just because an ac- tivity is covered by insurance it is not necessarily a proper risk. Every municipality, whether in the AMUJIA or not, has a respon- sibility to assess the risks associated with an activity to determine whether the benefits outweigh the risk cost. Ultimately, we will bear any losses through higher premiums, non-avallability, or by having an exclusion placed in the policy. - By treating every exposure as uninsured, a municipality can decide, for Instance, whether to have trampolines in its recreation _ Program, whether to screen drives of muni- cipal_yehicles, or whether to contract out a :i t project rather than doing It themselves. It is also important to consider managing the risk by placing limitations on the activity. For ex- ample, If trampolines are allowed, they should only be used with properly trained supervisors in close attendance. Rules should limit the types of acrobatics and only proper- ly maintained, inspected equipment should be used. By reducing the chance of loss you add stability to your insurance program. Just because an activity is covered, do not as. sume that a municipality ought to be allow- Ing it to happen. Clerks to Hold Raffle At the annual AML banquet, Friday, No- vember 18, the Alaska Association of Municipal Clerks will draw the winning tickets for a first prize of $2,500, second prize of $1,000, third prize of $500, and three additional prizes of $100 each in their annual raffle. The proceeds of this raffle go to the RAMC Education Fund, which provides scholarships for clerks to attend the AAMCfAMUUniversi- tyof Alaska -sponsored Municipal Cle►ks In- stitute, held each spring. Attendance at three Institutes meets the education requirements for obtaining the CMC (Certified Municipal Clerk) designation. Raffle tickets are $25 each and are available from your municipal clerk. Ticket sales are limited to 500. Mayors Raffle The Best of Alaska The Alaska Conference of Mayors (ACoM) Is holding a raffle in conjunction with the AML's 38th Annual Local Government Con- ference In Fairbanks in November. in a letter to all Alaska mayors, ACoM President Eoing Johannsen of Cordova encouraged each mayor to participate in the fundraiser by donating a prize or gift representing his or her area or city. Mayor Harry Gieseler of Seward Is coordinating the effort. The prizes and gifts will be awarded at the AML Conference. Mayors are asked to send their donations (value limited to under $500) to Mayor Juanita Helms at the Fairbanks North Star Borough or to bring them to the Conference. Mayors are also requested to contact Seward Clerk Linda Murphy (224-3331) to let her know what they are donating and so that she can send them raffle tickets. For more infor- mation, contact Mayor G(eseler in Seward. f Anderson Resigns, Leaving First Vice Presidency Vacant Nels A. Anderson, Jr., Dillingham City Council Member, who has served as Secon Vice President of the Alaska Municlp . League during 1988, Is not seeking re- election to local public office. As a result, he will not be eligible to continue in his AML of- fice and succeed to the First Vice Presidency In 1989. Nominations are being sought for both the First and Second Vice President for 1989. In a letter to AML President Heather Flynn, Anderson said he had enjoyed his AML ex- perlence and knew that he would have learned much more about statewide local government through his AML activities If he had remained on the Dillingham council. "1 think that AML is a very valuable state- wide organization and should be encour- aged to continue to be the voice of local governments," Anderson wrote. "1 valued the spirit of good will and the effort made to cooperatively reach solid policy goals that help everyone around the state." Nominations for First Vice President, as .. well as Second Vice President, directors from the even -numbered districts, and the direc- tor -at -large position should be submitted, on the proper form, to the AML office in Juneau before November 10 or to the AML Confer- ence Office In Fairbanks by November 15. Note that Article 11, Section 3 of the AML Bylaws specifies that the President and Vice( Presidents must be chosen from different director districts. Therefore, nominations for the two vacancies may be from any district except District 7 (North Slope, Kotzebue, Norton Sound). Woolard Resigns from Board Bruce Woolard of Anderson, who has served as AML Director from District 6 dur• ing 1988, has resigned from his position as a member of the Anderson City Council and, thus, will no longer be eligible for a seat on the AML Board. Before being elected to the Board last year to All the unexpired term of Paul Whitney of Fairbanks, Woolard served on the land Use, Resources, and Economic Development Subcommittee of the AML Legislative Committee for two years. Our thanks to Bruce and best wishes in his future endeavors. AML NEWSLETTER 217 2nd Street 0 Suite 200 • Juneau, Alaska 99801 • (907) 5864325 STAFF: ScottA.

One of the most serious problems for many communities has been delinquen- cy in paying Uncle Sam his due. The Internal Revenue Service recently reported that 35 communities, both municipalities and vil- lages, are delinquent in payment of payroll taxes and withholdings. These communities represent a total of over 90 quarters of un- paid taxes. Delinquency of payroll taxes threatens municipal and village assets since the IRS is obligated to attach not only existing com- munity property but also future state revenue sharing and municipal assistance payments. If a communitys assets are Insufficient to cover the liability, the tax obligation will at- tach to the property of responsible com- munity officials. As elected officials, council members and assembly members may find their personal assets garnered by the IRS. The size of the tax liability faced by com. munhies is not limited to the balance of un- paid taxes. The amount of money owed to `the IRS grows exponentially as penalties and interest mount. For example, a 100 percent penalty is added to any withholdings from an employee's paycheck for social security, federal income taxes, or medicare that were collected by the employer but not paid to the IRS. The IRS and the State of Alaska have be. come alarmed by the growing rate of tax de- linquency and have, for the first time, begun a cooperative effort to address the problem. The Department of Community and Region- al Affairs and the IRS are working together to assist the current problem communities and to avoid future problems through educa- tional efforts. The IRS is enlisting the assis• tance of the regional offices of DCRA to help work out agreements and payment sche- dules for delinquent communities. Also, DCRA and IRS are organizing tax workshops In the regions to Increase the understanding of community officials and educate them about their obligations. The DCRA has recently published the Municipal Tax f*bw Usnagenteet Maeuaf that provides Instructions and examples on how to complete payroll tax_ reports and -- make tax deposits. A tax manual for unincor- ®porated communities will also be published soon. Copies of these documents are being sent to every Alaskan community and will be available through the regional offices of the Municipal and Regional Assistance Division (MRAD) of DCRA. While this year's conference has its usual full slate of policy sections and workshops, Thursday night, November 17, will offer a definite break in the routine. The Fairbanks Light Opera Theatre, with assistance from the Fairbanks North Star Borough, will be giving a command performance of the award -winning musical "Annie'' for AML Conference delegates. Based on the "Little Orphan Annie' comic strip of the -Depression era, "Arid' has been adapted for the stage, and the results are magical. The Fairbanks Light Opera The- atre, one of Fairbanks' premier cultural organizations, has been working on this pro- duction since early September, and the play Is likely to be the showcase production of the season. Alaska Muncipal League members will be treated to the final dress rehearsal as a 1 special Conference event at 8:00 pm. Thurs- day, November 17, at the Hering Auditor- ium. Sandy Wolf and Ann Anderson -are -co- directors of this production. Sandy currently teaches at the University of Alaska Fairbanks In the Speech and Drama Department. Ann, who has a long history of involvement in theater production, is also working at the University. The Thursday theater night promises to be an exciting and fun -filled evening, and the Fairbanks Light Opera Theatre is looking for- ward to seeing you At Meet the Bureaucrats —Agency Roundtables Offer Opportunity for First-hand Contact This year's AML Conference will offer a new feature —Agency Roundtables.

AML Newsletter Page 5 L 7 r ,z 1 FAX Are In (Continued from page 1) a fax have its own "dedicated" phone line so as to not interfere with clay -to -day business calls, but this is not necessary. Fax transmis- sion is as easy as making a telephone call — and more efficient in some cases since one page can be transmitted In about 20 sec- onds. Times of actual transmission will vary depending on the density of Information, as well as the clarity of the phone tines being used to transmit. Most faxes on the market today can talk to each other since industry standards have simplified communication, although occasionally two machines are in incompatible groups. Some manufacturers, such as Ricoh, offer remote dfagnostic serv- ice that enables remote users to call a toll - free number and -have a factory technical representative make adjustments to the fax machine right over the telephone line, at no cost to the user. Fax machines have a variety of features, from auto dialing and auto re -try to memory to plain paper copying (most, however, use a thermal printing process and require special paper). Some have document feeders that can handle more than one sheet of paper at a time, others can handle documents that are wider than standard 81h"xl 1" paper. Fax owners are unstinting in their praise of the benefits of the technology of telefaxing, without a doubt the fastest growing office - place technology of today. Fax machines allow nearly instant transmission of written documents or photographs via phone lines, bypassing the mail system and thus speeding up communication. As with a photocopier, you place the original in the machine: the difference is that, instead of the copy emerg- ing at the output end, it gets transmitted aver a phone line and is printed out, via a differ. ent machine, at the other end of the line. When a document is run through a fax machine, it's put through a light sensitive scanner that distinguishes between those areas that are colored black and those that are white. This information is encoded into a series of electrical pulses that are then sent down the phone line. At the other end, the image is reconstructed by a printer that re- sponds to the sequence of electrical pulses and reconstructs the original image, printing it out in lines made up of tiny dots.
