The City of Kenai is considering installing water and sewer within Thompson Park and forming an assessment district to help pay the costs. The City estimates that the total assessment, at 25% of cost, will be about $1,800 for an average sized lot. The City proposes allowing property owners to pay the $1,800 assessment over a 10-year period; the annual cost would be about $300. Please answer the following two questions, sign below, and return this page to the City by November 7, 1990, in the enclosed, postage paid envelope. 1. Do you want water and sewer installed in Thompson Park under the condition that the property owners will be assessed 25% of actual cost? Check one: Yes No 2. How many Thompson Park lots do you own?

Because of this contracted time schedule, it has become necessary for us to discuss capital improvement projects at large for the City of Kenai. I urge each of you, if at all possible, to attend the October 17, 1990 Council meeting and the work session of October 25, 1990. We will need to complete our list of potential capital improvement projects by October 25, 1990. A resolution will need to be before Council for approval at the November 7 meeting so that we may forward our list to the Borough with the resolution no later than November 9. Our list will then be included in the Borough's port folio of projects to request funding from the State Legislature. In requesting that you be diligent in your effort to attend these meetings (October 17, 25 and November 7), I must beg your indulgence and advise you that I will not be here for the meeting of November 7, the deadline for the resolution, since my wife and I will be in Seattle for medical purposes. I would urge that the work be completed and the resolution be passed. I will arrange with Clerk Freas for the signing of the resolution prior to my departure. I will call Clerk Freas on the -1- morning of November 8 to confirm the decision of the Council and authorize that the resolution, signed by me previously, be used or that any other resolution that is produced be signed by me as authorized by Council. I feel it necessary to include my signature on the resolution as this particular resolution will be going before the Legislature and should be recognized as being signed by the Mayor. Thank you very much for your help in this matter and I hope to see all of you at the upcoming meetings.

RE: Work Session/Thompson Park Water and Sewer October 25, 1990, 7:00 p.m. Recently, an invitation to a Council Work Session was mailed to you. The Work Session was scheduled to discuss installing water and sewer mains to and throughout Thompson Park. THIS WILL AFFECT YOU! The City is thinking about requesting $3 million from the State for complete project funding. However, the State may not fund the project at all or they may only fund the estimated amount of $1,600,000 to run a sewer interceptor from Lawton Drive to Thompson Park. The cost of running water and sewer service throughout Thompson Park is roughly estimated at $1,200,000. This means each property owner may pay an estimated assessment of $7,000. This assessment to each property owner will be based on actual costs for the project so this amount may vary higher or lower. With an assessment district each and every property owner -pays their share of the cost. If water and sewer service is run throughout Thompson Park, every structure susceptible to being a source which needs water and sewer service will be required to connect to the service. State and Citv law requires each property owner to Properly abandon their systems and hook into the City's system. Property owners will have to, at their expense, disconnect and abandon their old well and septic system. ADEC requires using a concrete cap to abandon a water well. Each property owner will be required to arrange and pay for their own service lines to be placed from their house to their property lines. The City will run the service lines from the main to the property line. Thompson Park Property Owners October 19, 1990 Page 2 As you can see, every property owner, whether you want to or not, will be affected if water and sewer service is run throughout Thompson Park. Please come to the meeting, whether you are in favor of the project or not. Written testimony is always accepted and can be mailed to the above address. Please respond now, so your comments can be taken into consideration by the Council. Sincerely, CITY OF KENAI �.

Brighton, City Manager FROM: Charles A. Brown, Finance Director e9© DATE: October 16, 1990 SUBJECT: Thompson Park Water and Sewer This information is being provided to you for the October 25, 1990 work session on Thompson Park water and sewer. In the attached public announcement of the meeting, the Mayor said that one of the items for discussion is the possibility of creating an assessment district. I thought that it might be useful to have a general idea how much the water and sewer assessments might be. These figures are based on a cursory review of dated information; they are not meant to be accurate, only a fair indication. Water is available to Thompson Park at the Spur Highway. A sewer interceptor will need to be constructed from Lawton Drive near the golf course. The sewer interceptor would probably cost about $1,600,000. Water and sewer laterals would have to be installed in Thompson Park. The estimated cost of each (water and sewer) is about $600,000. I have assumed that the City will be successful in obtaining a grant for the sewer interceptor. I have assumed that the full cost of the water and sewer laterals will be funded by the City and/or assessments. The per lot cost of the water and sewer laterals is based upon an equal division of costs, such as might happen if all the lots were the same size. Of course, the lots are not the same size and the costs would probably be spread based upon square footage. But, again, this exercise is only to get a general idea of the costs. I estimate that there are about 170 lots involved. At $600,000 for water laterals, the cost per lot is about $3,500. At $600,000 for sewer laterals, the cost per lot is about $3,500. c The last water and sewer assessments in which the City was involved were in the Aliak/McCollum area. We assessed at 25% of the cost. The Council can select any percentage that it wishes; you can do the math yourself. But at 25%, the water and sewer assessments would probably be about $900 each, per lot, or about $1,800 for both water and sewer per lot. As you consider the financing and assessment percentage, keep two thoughts in mind: (1) All City financed costs, assessed or not, must be financed with available resources. Where will we find this $1,200,000? (2) The sum of the assessments, (water and sewer) cannot exceed 25% of the fair market value of each lot, after consideration of increased value due to the water and sewer. For example, in order to assess a lot $1,800, the lot would have to be worth $7,200. t' c 1791-1991 CITY OF KENAI - del eapi l 4 44zd i „ 210 FIDALGO KENAI, ALASKA 99611 TELEPHONE 283 - 7535 FAX 907-283-3014 October 10, 1990 ATTENTION THOMPSON PARK PROPERTY OWNERS!!!!

I am unable to attend your Oct. 252 1990 meeting; per your letter of Oct. 10, 1090, 2. Thank goodness'. You finally plan to move ahead & upgrade the Thompson Park Water and Sewer. 3. Water & Sewer must done together. As I understand it Water lines are buried below sewer lines. Fire hydrants must he installed! This reduces insurance rated. b. A City artesian well is a%ailable at Beaver Creek. I think the sewer is some two miles away. 5. A Jf sewer collection and sewage lift !(pump was designed some years age. This seeds updating. Branck lines to each.property must be included$ 6. I 2I own 5 lots in Thompson Parke Two are business lots. All need water & sewer! 7. My cost estimate for well —cesspool per lot is $10,000.00** Additionally, a 200t seperation between well -cesspool on a commercial property in Thompson Park is impossible) Therefor, exceptions must be applied for. 8. To develop business or residential property xnqt efficiently requires City Water and Sewers 9. Home U & Business loans are much more available with City Water & Sewer& 10. I note the Kenai Spur Rd is to be widened to 5 lanes. The Thompson Park Water & Sewer project needs to be done as part of the road widening. Thompson Park is on both sides of the Kenai Spur Rd.. Highway construdtion funds should be available for portions under the read! Kenai must see to it that the correct & cmmplete engineering is done by Alaska to assure water & sewer is installed under the Kenai Spur Road'. 11. Should a district be required- I would support a $500.00 to $19000e00 assessmentper lot. 12. Make this your top priority; Hopefully the full amount will be available from the State of Alaska as a grant. • -Thank you, Jerald D.
