MEMORANDUM
TO: Rick Ross, Chief of Police
FROM: Charles A. Brown, Finance Director
r 0 "�
DATE: August 29, 1991
SUBJECT: Telephone System
This memo documents conversations we have had regarding a new
telephone system, including dispatch communications, for the public
safety building. You are considering acquiring a system generally
described in an attachment to this memo.
MI understanding is that your current system i.s obsolete. Maintenance
and parts are no longer available for any part. of the system,
including the two consoles. one console is only partially functioning
at this time. The City has also been notified that the telephone
system in City Hall is simiiarly obsolete.
P.T.I. Communications has oroposed the following options:
1 ) Purchase for $'�6,)12.00
2) Lease/purchase:
a) $53:.92/montri for 36 months
b) $423.03/month for 48 months
c) i358.51/montt for 60 months
3) Rent f01- $5,45.4115/,nonth
Purchase and leaSe/purcf- ' as�2 optLons inciude instailation and a one
year warranty. The 1,ease/ourchase option results in ownership for
$1.00 at the end of �he Lease; �t also includes an early buy-out
provision.
The rental opt:ior, does r,Dr- mclude installatdc,n ($2,080), but does
include maintenance. It. a.Lso includes a favorable buy-oui: schedule.
AIL of �he 1,?cise/purchaso- )ptions include in�erest at ipprOXLmately
12 �.- . Except 1-or r;on-appro�)riatdon by the Cc�.ircii (rar(,iy Used), the
e

lease/purchase cannot be cancelled. The early buy-out provision
requires payment of (1) 20% of the equipment cost plus (2) future
lease payments discounted to present value using the Fed discount
rate.
To help determine which option is the best, I'd like to compare the
purchase to the lease/purchase, and the lease/purchase to rent. The
first comparison is simple: the lease/purchase charges 12% interest,
and the City only earns about 6% interest on its investments.
Purchase looks better. However, if as you have indicated, there is no
way to know for certain that this equipment will do the job, it's best
not to make the purchase commitment until we've tried and tested the
equipment for an extended time.
I want to compare lease/purchase to rent two ways:
a) Three-year lease/purchase and three-year rent.

The lease/purchase buy-out option is terrible. The rental plan, at
very little extra cost, offers flexibility and an easy method to
reject the equipment if it doesn't meet your needs.
The lease/purchase agreement also contains some pretty nasty clauses;
the rental agreement is simple and straight -forward.
I'd rent.

maintained; but it was noted that when renovations are
made to the parks, handicap accessibility should be
considered, The FAA football field area is no longer
used as its original intent but is now used for
baseball practice and camper caravans which is
permissible since they are outdoor activities and the
inspector will recommend that the football field be
declared obsolete. LWCF people are now asking for
boundary maps and as -built surveys and this has been
discussed with the City Manager.
C. The allocatic-;n for sidewalks within the Memorial Park
:is in the budget; however, the bid price has doubled
from $16,000 to $32,000+ from the estimate last year.
Director McGillivray will recommend waiting until next
Spring and go out for bid again.
d. The Junior High field area is being scraped and graded.
They are now awaiting for fencing.

B-2. Clarence Ladd - Smoking/Non-Smoking at Senior Center
Mr. Ladd was removed from the Agenda upon his prior request.
B-3. Donna Riddle - Bank Erosion/Angler Drive and the Kenai
River.
Ms. Riddle stated her address to be 1535 Angler Drive, Kenai,
Alaska. Ms. Riddle stated that she and others on Angler Drive
have been working to acquire a permit for establishing bank
erosion stabilization for three years. They are now in a state
of emergency because her home is nearly falling in the river.
Riddles has spoken with her insurance company. They want a bank
erosion permit before they will allow the moving of the house by
the owners. Riddles has been to other offices to find the
correct procedure. Riddles has been told that she must first get
a declaration from the local government.
Riddles presented Council with a draft "Declaration of Disaster"
which she received through the Ombudsman from the Department of
Emergency Services. Riddles stated that she is not able to
acquire financing to move the house back without a permit or plan
in place to stabilize the bank.
Councilmembers Smalley and Swarner arrived at 7:35 p.m.
Riddles stated there are five families involved. Her home is the
first to be affected by the erosion of the bank. Riddles stated
that they must move her home this year. If the house falls in
the river, she will be fined for polluting the river. Riddles
suggested an improvement assessment district in order to
stabilize the bank.
Williams stated. that the City has the ability to do an
improvement district, however, the financing may not be able to
be completed this year. Riddles stated that they need to move
the house first and then stabilize the bank. Riddles stated that
she understands that in order to get federal resource monies, the
Governor must declare an emergency.
Brighton asked if' the monies from the State/Federal government
are grant or loan monies. Riddles did not know. Brighton
referred to AS 26.23.020 which was cited in the Declaration of
Disaster. Brighton asked what the ramifications to the City were
in regard to the statute. Riddles stated she did not know.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING
AUGUST 21, 1991
PAGE 3
Brighton asked Riddles if her house is insured. Answer was yes,
however, the insurance company will not cover the move without
the declaration of emergency. Brighton stated for discussion,
that it would be cheaper to move the house because the cost of
stabilization will be in the millions of dollars. Riddles stated
that they will have to move the house anyway.
Williams stated that he is not aware of any actions over the
years for declaring an emergency regarding bank erosion.
Williams stated he would like Attorney Graves to review AS
26.23.020 and investigate any ramifications which may affect the
City of Kenai. Then, if there are no adverse ramifications, the
Declaration of Disaster could be signed to assist that particular
area and would not tie the City to matching funds. Williams
suggested to Riddle that she speak to the Borough Mayor's office.
The Borough is the local Office of Emergency
Planning/Coordination Center. Williams stated that if it is
deemed acceptable by Graves, he will sign the declaration and fax
it to the Governor's office.
Smalley suggested that the Municipality of Anchorage be
contacted. They have had some experience with regard to the
funding due to flooding problems.
MOTION:
Councilman Walker MOVED to sign the Declaration of Disaster and
send to the Governor's office if appropriate and Councilman
McComsey SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. so

KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING
AUGUST 21, 1991
PAGE 6
MOTION:
Councilman McComsey MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 91-52
and Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion.
Councilman McComsey stated that the bid was very high or the
estimate was not accurate. McComsey suggested investigating the
work again, stating that the work probably could not be done this
year anyway.
Kornelis stated that the other items included in the bid were for
curb and gutter repairs, etc. around town. Brighton added that
it was work that could be postponed until next spring. Kornelis
added that he spoke with the contractor (Tri-City). Tri-City
stated that his bid included $19,000 for the excavation. He
received that cost amount from a subcontractor. Kornelis added
that more excavation is required because of the poor soil. Tie
bar and sand will need to be added before the sidewalks can be
poured.
Williams stated that Council should remember that they had a
previous discussion regarding the value of the park land and
Council placed a 11011 value on the land. Williams did not believe
the cost of the project will be less in the spring. Williams
stated that the real question is whether the work should be done
on low valued land.
Walker asked what the bid was for the original work. Kornelis
stated he did not know. The original bid included the gazebo and
water fountain. Walker stated that he would like to know the
price before spending that amount of money.
McComsey asked if the sidewalks were built to the same
specifications as the new ones are to be built. Kornelis stated
probably not because of the lawn. They had more area in which to
work. McComsey asked if the original sidewalks were built on
sand and tie bar. Kornelis stated probably, but not a restricted
corridor.
Swarner stated that she was not ready to spend twice the amount
estimated for the sidewalks. Swarner suggested putting the bid
out again in the Spring. McComsey asked again whether the
original sidewalks were built on sand and tie bar. Kornelis
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING
AUGUST 21, 1991

stated he did not know. McGillivray stated that the original
sidewalks are holding up very well. McGillivray added that the
Parks Department seeded along the sidewalks after the work was
done.
VOTE:
Swarner: No
McComsey: No
Walker: No
MOTION FAILED.
Monfor: Absent Measles: No
Smalley: No Williams: Yes

under the original sidewalk concrete (sand and tie bar).
Brighton stated that in the Spring, the City crews may be able to
do the work. for less cost.

amount to $15,110 and Councilman McComsey SECONDED the motion.
Walker requested that the money amount be changed throughout the
resolution and the reference to sidewalk concrete be removed from
the resolution also. Walker requested the whereabouts of the
repair work.
Measles stated that he agreed to delete the "concrete sidewalks"
from all parts of the resolution and the dollar amount be changed
throughout the resolution.
Kornelis stated where the repair work was to be done throughout
the city. They were all separate items on the bid and the
contractor considered the work as a package. Kornelis stated
that he will ask the contractor to honor the bid.
VOTE ON AMENDMENT:
Councilman Measles requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no
objections. SO ORDERED.
VOTE ON AMENDED MOTION:
Councilman Measles requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no
objections. SO ORDERED.
Williams stated that if the contractor will not do the work, it
will have to be re -bid. Measles added that it is probably too
late to do the work this year. The curbs, etc. will probably get
torn up from snow blowing. It may be better to wait to do the
work next year. Swarner agreed. Williams noted that there was
no motion for reconsideration.

AUGUST 21, 1991
PAGE 12
Williams stated that he had a discussion with the legislative
delegation. Some believed the monies received from the
legislature should all be spent on the housing project. Others
felt that monies left could be reallocated to another project.
Williams suggested that Council review and decide what to do.
Carol Geordge, Design Committee Chair spoke to Council. Geordge
stated that during the design period, the Committee was very cost
conscious. Because the bid came in low, and monies are left, the
Committee reviewed the plan to be sure nothing was missed and to
make suggestions for upgrade for more durability, or less
maintenance requirements, and esthetics.
Williams suggested Council review the list and give a consensus
of whether to do the work or not. The following was decided:
Item 1 - Cedar Siding - Okay
Item 2 - Addition of six more living quarters - No
Item 3 - Automatic doors Okay (check price)
Item 4 - Headbolt Heaters Okay (check price)
Item 5 - Kitchen walls - Okay
Item 6 - Landscaping - No
Item 7 - Patio Windscreen - Okay
Item 8 - Radius corners/sink counters - Okay
Item 9 - Third floor common windows - No
Item 10 - Door grille - No
Item 11 - Furnishings - No
Architect's coordination/presentation trips - Negotiate
Council decided not to go ahead with the addition of the six
units because they wanted to insure enough contingency left for
any additional expenditures which may arise.
Brighton stated that the Council is in a political arena with
this money. Senator Fischer indicated to him that he would not
support any reallocation of monies left from the project.
Representative Navarre has indicated to Williams that he would be
willing to reappropriate $600,000 for some other project if there
is a need. However, no reallocation would be received without
the approval of' the House and Senate. Fischer could create many
problems if reappropriation is tried. The proposed court house
may not be looked upon favorably by the State if reappropriation
is requested. The City could lose credibility. Measles stated
that" Council. is not looking to reappropriate at this time. They
are mainly concerned about having enough money left to furnish
the project upon completion.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING
AUGUST 21, 1991
PAGE 13
Walker stated that he would rather be under budget. Leave the
design at 40 units. Smalley agreed.
Council agreed to leave the design at 40 units and have a safe
contingency. Measles added that Council understands that any
change orders will come before Council for approval. Some may
not be approved due to costs.

not believe the City should cover the extra money. Williams
stated that the problem is partially due to Paragraph 13. There
is a $7,700 error that has been corrected physically.
The inspector for the project, Mr. Kernan was in the audience.
Kernan stated the contest is between G&S Construction and the
architect, CH2MHill. Discussion followed regarding the rebar.
Kernan stated that the engineer (Nelson) asked for the most cost
effective procedure, either using #8 rebar or #6 in lieu of #8,
but, using two in each place. City gave a directive to the
contractor, through the engineer, to proceed and the price would
be negotiated. Payment does not have to be made at this time.
Smalley asked if a motion was necessary

Kornelis stated that the City directed the contractor to get #8
bars. If the directive had not been given, the job would have
been held up. Kornelis suggested Council approve the change
order in the amount of $7,700 and then pursue who made the error.
MOTION:
Councilman Walker MOVED to table the discussion until such time
that the question is resolved between the contractor and
CH2MHill. Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion.
Kernan stated that he did not believe telling the contractor to
take up the extra cost with the engineer is a good way to
proceed. Kernan stated the City should pursue. The City,
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING
AUGUST 21, 1991
PAGE 14
through the inspector, has given the contractor a directive to
proceed. The contractor has complied by getting the product at
the lowest price he can and doing the work for the lowest price
he can.
Measles stated that either the contractor or CH2MHill made a
mistake. The City did not cause the problem. The purpose of the
motion is to not approve payment until the cause is found.
Attorney Graves suggested Council not approve the change order
for $7,700 and direct Graves or Kornelis to ask the contractor
and design engineer who is at fault. Then Council can make a
decision as to who the City may want to pursue.
Measles suggested Council. vote on the change order, fail it, and
direct Administration to deal with it the best way it can. If
there is no settlement, the discussion will come before council
again.
RESCIND MOTION AND SECOND
Councilman Walker rescinded his motion and Smalley rescinded his
second by mutual consent.
MOTION:
Councilman Smalley MOVED to pay the change order of $7,700 to G&S
Construction. Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion.
VOTE:
Swarner: No Monfor: No Measles: No
McComsey: No Smalley: No Williams: No
Walker: No
MOTION FAILED UNANIMOUSLY.
Smalley requested Attorney Graves and Public Works Director
Kornelis to review the matter and draft letters to both parties
(G&S Construction and CH2MHill) along the lines of the discussion
this evening.

ITEM J: DISCUSSION
J-1. Citizens
Betty Warren - Thanked Council for their patience and their
efforts on behalf of the Seniors.
Dwayne Craig - Thanked City Manager and Police Department for
their cooperation with regard to the sand dunes and park, etc.
Craig also stated his disapproval for the clear cutting done at
the Forest Drive Park, especially the trees along the bluff. one
tree was 100 years old. There were other nice trees cut and some
junk trees were left. With a little bit of work, the nice trees
could have been saved. Craig suggested the next time the trees
be tagged prior to cutting and take more time to consider what
the area will look like later.
Williams stated that a verbatim of the August 7, 1991 Council
Meeting in regard to the park were before the Council. Swarner
stated that she was also concerned with the tree cutting.
Swarner referred to the motion made during the August 7, 1991
meeting. There were lots of trees cut down on the playground end
of the park. It was her impression that other trees would not be
cut down.
Smalley stated Kornelis and he had a telephone discussion prior
to the cutting. The Council gave Kornelis permission to
implement the plan discussed in an earlier council meeting. The
proposal included removing trees on the bluff in order to seed
for grass. This will provide visibility of the Inlet. Smalley
would have liked the btg trees left. The park will look better
when completed.
Kornelis stated that they left trees along the sides of the road.
They cut a swath from the pavilion to the parking lot. Swarner
asked when the project will be completed. Brighton stated that
he stopped the cutting. Brighton wants all the cut trees cleared
away and then Council can go in and identify what it wants done.
Kornelis stated that he planned to allow the community to come in
and take away the cut trees for firewood and the City will take
out the brush. A purchase order will probably be in the next
packet for rental of a dozer to remove the stumps. It will be a
few weeks before it will be ready for council to review. There
will be no need to cut any more trees. Brighton stated that the
park should be ready for Council review by the first week in
September.

PAGE 3
Kornelis stated that the money requested to be transferred is for
the purpose of doing the necessary design work for the seven
items council gave preliminary approval to at the August 21, 1991
Council Meeting. The architect will now review and detail to get
firm price from the contractor for the addition of the items to
the project. When the cost proposal comes back from the
contractor, the items will come to Council again for approval.
Walker stated that the price is high for the design of these
items.
Kornelis referred to a letter and attachments he handed to
Council prior to the meeting. The letter was telefaxed to him
just prior to the meeting from the architect with a better
explanation of the amounts for the proposed additions. Kornelis
noted that the price for design has decreased significantly.
VOTE:
Monfor: Yes Measles: Absent McComsey: Yes
Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes Walker: Yes
Swarner: Yes
MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
ITEM C: OLD BUSINESS
Change Order No. 2 - G&S Construction - Sewer Treatment
Plant.
Williams reported to Council that Administration directed G&S
Construction (contractor for STP project) to proceed with a
concrete pour after the contractor spoke to Administration and
the Mayor regarding Change Order No. 2. The Contractor states
that he does not have a contract with the design engineer, but
with the City of Kenai. The contractor was quite upset by the
Council's decision not to pay Change Order No. 2, but to first
determine who was at fault for the change in rebar.
Williams stated that he spoke with City Attorney Graves and
Graves stated that if Council pays the change order bill, it will
not alter the City's position to pursue repayment from those at
fault. If the contractor had not done the pour, the cost for
stopping the work would have been far more expensive to the City
SPECIAL CITY OF KENAI COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
AUGUST 28, 1991
PAGE 4
than the $7,700.00 cost included in Change Order No. 2. Williams
stated that he will take responsibility of the decision for the
contractor to proceed with the pour.
Walker stated that the change order was denied at the August 21,
1991 meeting, and is not in order for Council to vote on it
again. Williams stated that the Code allows the City Manager to
act due to extraordinary conditions. The discussion with the
contractor happened after closing. If the approval had not been
given, the concrete pour would have been held for about seven
days.
Brighton stated that the contractor was more upset because he
understood he was to negotiate with the engineer to find who was
responsible for the rebar problem. The contractor has no
contract with the engineer, only with the City. The City
directed him to make the change. If the work was held up, the
cost could have been as much as the cost of the change order, and
there would have been no productivity at all. If the change
order is paid, it does not prevent the City from collecting from
the contractor later, if he is found to be at fault.
Administration believed it was in the best interest of the City
to have the contractor go ahead with the work.
Graves was asked how the motion should be stated. Graves stated
the motion should be to approve the change order and he and
Kornelis will proceed from there with regard to who is at fault.
Smalley stated that at the last meeting, Council stated that the
City should pursue finding who was at fault. Is that still in
effect? Brighton stated that the "To Do" list stated Public
Works was to write to both the contractor and engineer requesting
from both who was at fault. That was one of the objections of
the contractor. The contractor's contract is with the City of
Kenai. It is up to the City to find out who is at fault.
Smalley asked if another directive is needed. Answer: No.
MOTION:
Councilman Smalley MOVED to pay Change Order No. 2 in the amount
of $7,700 to G&S Construction. Councilman McComsey SECONDED the
motion.

C-2. Approval - Congregate Housing/Architectural Design
Costs for Items Approved by Council.
Kornelis stated that approval is required from Council for the
additional design work to be done for the seven items discussed
at the August 21, 1991 meeting.
Monfor stated she did not object to the approval. However, she
would like to add the windows on the third floor. Monfor stated
her reason to be that the Design Committee discussed the design
of the building at. long length. They are more aware of what is
needed. Monfor does not approve the addition of the six units.
Williams agreed. Williams stated that further discussions with
the legislators have found they are insistent that fund money be
spent on this project. Since the project bid was well under the
budget, etc., he has no objections to adding the windows. The
furniture and landscaping can be done later.
MOTION:
Councilwoman Monfor MOVED that at this time we would ask for the
seven items and add the windows as presentation for the design
and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion.
Kornelis stated that Resolution No. 91-54 will need to be amended
due to the extra cost for the window design. Walker stated that
he would rather rescind the former motion for approval of the
resolution and. put in the money figures.
VOTE:
UNANIMOUS CONSENT was requested. There were no objections. SO
ORDERED.

fied T-111 plywood siding in gable ends of the building. The vertica-
lines of T-111. sidincT were intended to help break the strong horizon-
tal lines of bevel siding that sheaths the rest of the structure. it
was also our intent I -or the siding to be continuous from the horizon-
tal siding to the peaks, requiring twelve foot sheets. We have beer,
informed that T-111 is no longer available in twelve foot lengths. U..
letter from the supplier is attached). If the specified T-111 sidin(
is used it will result in a horizontal flashing line in the gables.
It is the Architect's opinion that the flashing line will disrupt E
desi.red vertical element in the building's facade and reflect the fact
that the siding material is spliced.
I recommend that the Council strongly consider upgrading the gable enc
material to continuous I x 6 vertical cedar siding. Attached is z
requested change order in the amount of $3,940 for this change. Ir
the interest of a quality end appearance, I was able to convince thE
Contractor to omit his overhead and bonding costs from this price.
Timinq is critical in that we are getting one coat of finish appliec
to the horizontal bevel siding and trim prior to shipping. This car
also be done to the vertical siding if approved now. The end result
will be that the siding will not get water stained prior to sprinc
time applied finishes.
Also attachE�d is the requested change order for an additional sidewalk
to the Chamber Building.
Thank you for your consideration on such short notice.
Sincei.ely,

residency requirements) which hold anything over a one-year
requirement unconstitutional. Mr. Peloza also cites the leading
Alaska case, Gilbert v. State, 526 P-2d. 1131 (Alaska 1974), only
for the proposition that strict scrutiny is the judicial
standard for this case.
Even with a strict scrutiny standard, however, the
Alaska Supreme Court in Gilbert found that the State did have
compelling State interests in establishing a three-year
residency requirement for candidates running for the State
legislature: (1) "to permit exposure of the candidate to his
prospective constituents so that they may judge his character,
knowledge and reputation" and (2) "to ensure legislators are
familiar with the diverse character of the State where they will
participate in the lawmaking process." Gilbert, 526 P.2d at
1134.
A fact pattern similar to the one at hand existed in
Castner v. City of Homer, 596 P.2d 953 (Alaska 1979). There a
candidate crossed out the one-year residency requirement from
his filing papers, the Homer City Clerk refused to file the
papers. Relying on Gilbert, Superior Court Judge Hanson and
Supreme Court Justice Connor both wrote opinions upholding the
constitutionality of the one-year residency requirement.
The Castner opinion made reference to one, two and
three-year residency requirements throughout the State but did
not either approve or disapprove these requirements. There is
Page 2
case law from various jurisdictions which finds residency
requirements of various lengths, from one to seven years, to be
constitutional based on compelling State interests. Accordingly
the Court finds that the Kenai residency requirements to be
constitutional.
Mr. Peloza also argues "that the residency requirement
is declaratory in nature only, for it is part of the City
Charter, and cannot be enforced." Ex Parte Request for Writ of
Mandate! at p. 2.
Charter provisions are not declaratory in nature. The
provisions of the charter take precedence over City ordinances i7f
a conflict arises. Area Dispatch v. City of Anchorage, 544 P.2d
1024 (Alaska 1976) (Anchorage Municipal ordinance which conflict�;
with the Anchorage City Charter is invalid).
Finally, Mr. Peloza argues that Ms. Freas "unlawfully
with malice aforethought, added this residency requirement to a
City Ordinance." Ex Parte Request for Writ of mandate at p.2.
Mr. Peloza is referring to Ms. Freas' addition to the nominating
petition of: a section in which the candidate certifies that he
or she meets the charter's residency requirements.
Kenai Municipal Code 6.10-010(c) requires that the
nominating petition be in substantially the same form as it is
set out, in the ordinance. Although this added section is not
specified in KMC 6.A.010(c), a candidate must comply with the
Page 3
charter provision whether or not,t1lat section is in the_
nominating petition. —This Court finds that Ms. Freas has
complied with this ordinance.
Mr. Peloza also argues that KMC 6.10.010(b) which
states "No voter shall sign more than one (1) petition except
that a voter may sign as many nominating petitions for
councilmen as there are vacancies to be filled . . .11 has not
been printed on the nominating petition. He is not arguing that
the ordinance is not proper or is not being enforced but that
Ms. Freas removed that portion of the ordinance from nominating
petition. The Court
petition is in "substantially" the same fogirMm-As-.=�� *
-,in KMC
61'.10.010(c).

Subject: Petroleum Contaminated Soils - Storage at Kenai Elementary School
Mr. Kornelis:
In response to your request for a status report on the petroleum contaminated soils
stored at thE! Kenai Elementary playground, I have good news.
The soils were relocated on August 14, 1991 from the elementary school to a storage
containment cell constructed at the Soldotna landfill. The material was combined with
similar material removed from two other sites where Borough underground fuel storage
tanks were removed.
The soils have not been disposed of at the landfill, but are currently stored in a specially
designed containment structure. Hopefully a cost-effective treatment will become
available for processing next summer.
Please contact me if there are any additional questions regarding the soil relocation.
Sincerely,

Your letter of August 16, 1991 was presented to the Council of the City of Kenai at their
meeting of August 21, 1991.
The Council decided that the City would like the carpet pad rejected. Therefore, they have
chosen your option number one (1) from your letter. They want to reject the installation, have
it removed and then have new installed properly.
The Council also commented that since your firm was responsible for inspection of this project
they feel that you should finish the job of making sure the project is properly completed.
Therefore, the City feels that your time in correcting this problem is covered under our
inspection contract and additional compensation is not appropriate.

Dear Mr. Kornelis:

Our contract proposal dated January 31, 1990 included inspectio,�
services through the Final Inspection for the referenced project at i
cost of 3.7% of the total. Construction Contract. In addition, the
City's Contract for the referenced project states that our agreemen�-
shall not be modified without written consent of both parties. Thi�
contract states in Article 1.2.11 that the Architect shall be paid fo.��.
additional services aft-er the issuance of the Final Certificate fo�:,
Payment. Final Certificate for Payment has been made.
The',Council should be informed that I questioned lines in the carpei.
at the Substantial Completion Inspection in your presence. We were
told by the Contractor that he felt the lines were roll marks an(]
would work themselves out. Again in your presence, I voiced dissatis--

Dear John:
ftv
your information I am sending you a copy of
Houk in D.C., and also a copy of the letter to Congressman Young
regarding a federal prison in the Kenai area.
Because of a tight schedule, I had a very short meeting with
Congressman Young after the chamber lunch last Wednesday. He said
he would look into the matter and let me know if there is an
interest at this time in locating a federal prison in Alaska.
I will keep you informed on the responses I get.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Houk:
We would like to renew our stated interest in siting aiedera-1
correctional facility on our property near Kenai, Alaska. As you
may recall, we met with you and Loy Hayes several years ago. At.
that time you indicated there was no need to locate a prison ii[
our state. However, if that need has changed we still are very
interested in working with the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Than;,
you for keeping us in mind.

the possible siting of a federal prison in the Kenai area.
During our brief discussion last week you indicated that you woulc
see if you could find out if a federal prison in Alaska was beinc
considered at this time.
It was good to see you and have you speak at the joint luncheon of
the Kenai Chamber oE Commerce and The Alliance. I look forward tc
seeing you next t.-me you are in Kenai.

HAND DELIVERED K F A. I
Dear Governor Hickel 45
On behalf of the Alaska Municipal League, I urge you to reconsider the 199t
Reapportionment Plan recommended to you by your Reapportionment Advisory
Board in June. The plan ultimately approved by you and or the court will
significantly affect local governments and the representation of Alaskans
that live in Our Communities. I urge you to consider the comments below,
and the comments received from individual and groups of municipalities and
others, and to make appropriate changes prior to September 8th to preserve
fair and logical representation among municipalities and regions.
Reasonable changes by you can avoid a costly and divisive court challenge
and/or implementation measures, e.g. election costs from amended and
increased precincts.
The Alaska Municipal League Board of Directors met in Kodiak, August 15-16,
1991 and discussed the recommendations of the Reapportionment Advisory Board
and some of the resolutions or comments sent to you from various
municipalities and regional groups. The Alaska Conference of Mayors met in
Kodiak, August 14th, just prior to the AML Board meeting and expressed
similar, con -erns. The AML Board asked me to write to you and express its
collective concern that the recommended plan is unacceptable to many areas
of the sta-�i, and request that you amend the plan taking into consideration
the followi,ig:
1. accept deviations from federal guidelines up to the allowable 10
percent, rather than the more restrictive 2 percent adopted or
recommended by the Board,
2'. to the degree possible, keep municipalities, specifically, and
regions generally, intact as requested,
3, amend the plan according to the specific recommendations of
municipalities and local groups, e.g. Southeast Conference, where
poss-!hle, and
4, be sensitive to dist ' inct ethnic groups and makeup of the state
and the additional cost of administering elections as districLs �ire
chancied.
Memoe[ of the National Leaque of Cities and the National Association of Counties

The Boa rd is aware that the publ i c hear i ng process is c I osed ; however,
people have since become more informed about the potential impacts of the
proposed plan on their communities and are offering additional concerns and
reasonable alternate proposals. On behalf of the Alaska Municipal League
Board of Directors, I ask you to amend the 1991 Reapportionment Plan
recommended by your Reapportionment Advisory Board in June taking into
consideration the comments above to ensure the fairest representation
possible within state and federal guidelines.

tended to address issues raised during the
hearings, including the following: con-
cern thatwetlands designations were based
On less than all three Of the base param-
eters (hydrology, vegetation, and soils);
concern that seven days of wetness is not
enough to create wetlands; concern that
areasthat aredryatthe SUrfaCeare consid-
ered wetlan& based on the presence of
water as much as 1B inches below the
surface; concern that under the 1989
Manual wetlands hydrology COUld be con-
siderec demonstrated even withoutstrong
evidence of tile presence of water; con -
cern that actual conditions in the field are
not accurately reflected by the method by
which the growi no season isdetermined in
the 1989 Manual; and concein that the
manual was developed without meaning-
ful public input.

Alaska Municipal League Policy Development
August 1991
Amendments to the AML Policy Statement and resolutions passed during the
Annual Local Government Conference (scheduled for November 13-15, 1991,
in Fairbanks) shape the legislative program of the Alaska Municipal League. The
following information on how to make amendments and introduce resolutions
will help members prepare to take an active role in the policy development
process. Please retain this insert for reference and follow its guidelines.
POLICY STATEMENT AMENDMENTS
Amendments to the Alaska Municipal League Policy Statement may be made during the policy sections
at the Annual Conference. Municipal officials should review the existing Policy Statement and
amendments proposed by the Legislative Committee and Board, which will be available in September,
and review them with their fellow officials prior to developing amendment language. Proposed
amendments, with backup discussion, should be presented, in writing, during the appropriate policy
secrion, and adequate copies should be available for distribution. Only representatives of AML member
municipalities or associations can propose Policy Statement amendments. Policy Statement amendments
approved during policy sections will be considered by the entire membership during the Annual Meeting.
For information on the relationship between the Policy Statement and resolutions, see below.
RESOLUTIONS PROCEDURES
A resolution is a statement of Alaska Municipal League intent to support a specific action on a significant
issue affecting municipalities. Resolutions are intended to address specific and timely issues on the
federal, state, or regional level, or for Board action, that are of significance to municipalities. Policy
statements differ from resolutions in that they express long-term or continuing statements of principles
important to local control and local government authority and efficient and effective operation.
Res0lutions are introduced, debated, and adopted by the AML members each year at the Annual AML
Local Governmert Conference and are published with the AML Policy Statement. To be considered
during the conference, resolutions must conform tothefollowing policy, procedural, and format guidelines,
which were adopted by the AML Board of Directors in August 1987.
Resolutions must be postmarked no later than October 1 to be reviewed, accepted, and included in
the delegate packets for consideration at the annual conference.
POLICY GUIDELINES
1 Resolutions shall, in their subject matter, concern shared policy and program needs, issues, or
problems of Alaskan municipalities and shall state the problem and relief sought.
2. Resolutions shall be concerned with state and federal government or AML policy, and should,
therefore, address state and federal or AML policy issues.
3. Resolijtiorl!� shall either expand on or supplement existing AML Policy Statement language.
Resoiufion�; shall neither '.�ontradict nor conflict with the Policy Statement.
4. Reso�Uti0f'S shall not compromise the independence or integrity of individual member cities or
their ability to pursue anv course of action adopted by appropriate municipal policy-maKing
hodies.
A%'-- Pchcy Develop)rnent Procedures - 1991 page 2
5 Resolutions shall not compromise the budget -making, program -determining, or priority -setting role
of the AML Board.
13 Resolutions shall be restricted to action -specific issues and issues of some immediacy and shall
be addressed to the Governor, Legislature, President, and/or the Congress or to the AIVIL Board
of Directors.
Adopted resolutions shall become AML policy and shall have general AML support, but the
sponsor and other interested individuals are encouraged to follow up on the resolution
individually, especially if the issue is not an AML priority.
Resolutions differ from the policies in the AML Policy Statement in that:
a. Resolutions shall address specific issues rather than general policy. However, a
resolution should not be so specific as to address specific legislation by bill number.
b. Resolutions may address regional issues, or issues affecting individual municipalities, as
well as statewide concerns.
C. Resolutions shall be in effect for only one year; therefore, they are intended to address
timely issues, for example, current legislative proposals.
PROCEDURAL GUIDELINES
1. Only councils and assemblies of member municipalities, member municipal associations, member
regional municipal organizations (comprised of municipal officials), the AML Board, and the AML
Legislative Steering Committee are allowed to submit resolutions for consideration. Each
resolution submitted must have been approved by a formal action of the sponsoring body.
2. Because it is desirable to have the resolutions undergo the same scrutiny as the AML Policy
Statement and so that members will have an opportunity to consider the resolutions carefully, all
resolutions should be submitted prior to the conference and all resolutions properly submitted by
AML members must be presented to a policy section for review and approval during the annual
conference, This review is important to ensure a sound and representative policy and to avoid
duplication and conflict within the policies of the AML. Resolutions submitted by the AMIL Board
and the AML Legislative Committee may be reviewed by a policy section if the resolutions deal
with policy issues.
3. Resolutions must be postmarked by October 1 prior to the conference to be included in the
delegate packets and considered during the conference. Resolutions must follow format
guidelines (see below), be typed, and include the name of the sponsoring entity.
4. Staff will review resolutions submitted by October 1 for form and return incorrectly submitted
resolutions to the sponsor for corrections. All properly submitted resolutions will be assigned by
staff to the appropriate policy section for consideration during the conference. Copies of the
resolutions properly submitted will be made available to the delegates in their registration packets.
S. Resolutions not submitted by October 1 may be offered in the appropriate policy section for the
members' consideration. However, the sponsor of any resolution presented directly to the policy
section must provide 50 copies of the resolution and it must be in the proper format. In addition,
to introduce a resolution in a policy section the sponsor must have the support of representatives
of five (5) rnemt)er municipalities in attendance at the policy section.
6. Resolutions will be reviewed, debated, and acted upon by the appropriate policy soction.
Sponsors of properly suhmitted resolutions will be given an opportunity to discuss and support
their resolutions at the policy section.
A-V PU;Cy E�evel�_�,rTlerlq F)roc��cjurc�-,s - 1991
page 3
It apiroved by the policy section, the resolution will be submitted to the Resolutions Committee
for fii-lal approval as to format, duplication, and policy consistency. The Resolutions Committee
will meet following the policy section meetings. The Resolutions Committee shall consider only
resolutions recommended by the policy sections, by the AML Board of Directors, or by the AML
Legislative Steering Committee.
The Resoiutions Committee shall debate and act upon each resolution for final recommendation
to the membership. The Resolutions Committee shall approve, amend, and approve or reject
ea& resolution passed by the policy section, note its action, and, if the resolution is approved,
senc it to the business meeting for consideration. If a resolution is rejected, the committee shall
prepare a brief written justification of fts action and forward that information to the business
meeling
The First Vice President (incoming President) shall appoint a Resolutions Committee because
he/she will have to work with the individuals and resolutions during the next year. This also will
give the person experience in making committee appointments. It is important that the members
of the Resolutions Committee, as the next -to -last tribunal,* be individuals active in, and
knoviledgeable of, the AML_
10, The First Vice President shall serve as Chair of the Resolutions Committee and shall appoint eight
(8) additional elected and appointed municipal officials from the Board and Legislative Committee.
11. Only resolutions approved by a policy section and the Resolutions Committee will be made
available by staff at the business meeting. A resolution that was passed by a policy section but
rejected by the Resolutions Committee may be brought to the floor of the business meeting at
the appropriate time if it meets the following conditions: 1) it has been signed by representatives
from twenty (20) member municipalities; 2) an AML staff member has reviewed the signatures and
approved the resolution for reintroduction; 3) 100 copies of the resolution (with the 20 signatures
and AIVIL staff approval) are available for distribution to the delegates; and 4) delegates from
twenty (20) voting municipalities sponsor the resolution for consideration at the business meeting.
No new resolutions (i.e., resolutions that have not been considered and passed by a policy
section and reviewed by the Resolutions Committee) will be allowed at the business meeting
unleSS they are resolutions from the Board or Legislative Committee.
12. All rE!S0IUt,ons adopted by the membership shall conform to the AML resolution policy, guidelines.
FORMAT GUIDELINES (see sample attached)
1 Resolutions must be postmarked by October 1 to be reviewed, accepted, and included in the
delegate packets for consideration at the annual conference.
2. The resolution shall be typed in the proper format (see sample) on 81/2' x 11' paper.
3. The name of the sponsoring member municipality or association and the date of submission must
be indicated in the upper right-hand corner of the resolution. Each resolution must include the
statement "This resolution was approved for submission to the Alaska Municipal League
membership by the governing body of [name of municipality or association] on [date]' in the
lower left-hand corner.
4 Each resolution submitted must indicate that it is an AML resolution and have a title that identifies
the issue. That is, it must say 'Resolution of the Alaska Municipal League, Resolution No. xx-xx'
and have a title, beginning "A Resolution ... ' that describes the issue and intent of the resolution.
Throughout tl�e texi, the resolution should indicate that the League is taking the position
advocated, no* a given municipality.
5 At least one 'Whereas" clause should identify the policies in the AML Policy Statement that the
resolution addresses (i.e., expands or supplements), if applicable.

RESOLUTION OF THE ALASKA MUNICIPAL LEAGUE
RESOLUTION NO. 92-xx
A RESOLUTION URGING THE PASSAGE OF LEGISLATION
REQUIRING THE STATE TO REIMBURSE MUNICIPALITIES
FOR THE COST OF ANY NEW STATE -MANDATED PROGRAMS
WHEREAS, 'the League urges passage of legislation that would require a government agency
unilaterally transferring responsibility for a program to a municipality or imposing regulations on a
municipality to reimburse the municipality for the costs of the transferred responsibility or regulations,
(Alaska Municipal League Policy Statement 1991, Part I Taxation and Finance, FA Fiscal
Notes/Government Mandates), and
WHEREAS, state aid to municipalities in the form of Municipal Assistance and Revenue Sharing
has been reduced by over 35 percent since FY 86, while during the same period the overall state general
fund budget has been reduced by only 10 percent, and
WHEREAS, along with the reduction in state financial assistance there have been increases in
state- mandated programs that take the form of increased costs, new programs, and funding shortfalls for
existing programs that are costly for municipalities to administer and implement, and
WHEREAS, legislation affecting municipalities is considered and passed by the Alaska State
Legislature without the benefit of knowing its fiscal impact on local governments, and
WHEREAS, these mandated programs, funding shortfalls, and shifts in responsibilities have
required municipalities to increase local taxes and reduce services in order to balance their budgets and
at the same time, the Legislature has ignored deficit spending while boasting that the state has no income
or sales taxes and that operating budgets have been reduced, and
WHEREAS, costly state -mandated programs provide a significant additional disincentive for
communities to incorporate, and
WHEREAS, the National Conference of State Legislatures in 1987 recommended that state
legislatures consider relaxing or eliminating costly requirements on local governments or assuming the
cost cf complying with the requirements;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE 17 RESOLVED that the Alaska Municipal League urges the Alaska
Legislature and the Governor to pass legislation requiring the State to reimburse municipalities for the
costs of any new state -mandated programs or regulations that increase the costs of local government
operations.
