Parcel #047--064-39 has only 25 foot of frontage on this project (access to the back of the building for deliveries). We feel it is neither fair nor equitable to be assessed the lions share for a 25 foot driveway. The entirE? project was for 1483 feet of improvements; as per the Public Works Director; with total. collectible assess- ments of $22,938.00 or $15-47 per running foot. $15.47 x 25 feet = $386.75,- 50% (-2 the road width) = $193.38 This is the amount we believe due by us. The method used in assessing this property was inappropriate clue to the inconsistancy of property shapes and sizes; and an adjustment needs to be made to be fair to all parties concerned.

Brown, Finance Director if 9a DATE: September 12, 1,991 SUBJECT: Upland/Highland Paving Assessment. Roll You will. receive at least. one objection to the method that was used to c-alculate the final assessment roll on the Upland/Highland paving district.. The method used, the square footage method, is identical to the method used to prepare the preliminary assessment roll, which was approved by Resolution No. 89-56 on August 2, 1989. Notices and preliminary rolls were mailed to property owners on July 14, 1989. The only substantive- difference between the preliminary roll and the t'inal roll i.s tnat the assessment is lower on the final roll by about 22%. as a r(]sult of lower construction costs than estimated. _n the case of Mr. Bystedt (047-064-39), he was not given notice of the preliminary roii or the public hearing on. August 2, 1989. At that time, National Bank of Alaska owned the parcel, and they were given notice. According to Borough tax records, Mr. Bystedt purchased the property in July, _1990. 'I'he final assessment roll has been prepared correctly. KMC 16.05.070 says that the Council may assess any benefited real. property "abutting, adjoininq, adjacent, contiguous, non-contiguous, or other property or interest in property benefited directly or indirectly by the improvement." KMC 16,.05.1.00 says, "except as otherwise provided by Law, ord-Ji.nance, or by Counc i I -approved policy for a. particuiar local impr(,-�vement district, costs wiil be allocated on a square footage ba,-;�s extendin(i one Lot deep adjacent.- to improvements in subdivided areas. . . " However, the KM(-' last (:iuoted above also says, "The methods of assessment E.�,Lre (described in general herein and will require decisions of policy 1--ky the Counci.l..." Obviousiy, there can be more than one correct metf-�od of preparing an assessment roLl. Kenai City Council Memorandum September 12, 1991 Page Two Mr. Bystedt has a legitimate complaint. His lot has about 27,952 square feet, but only about twenty-five linear feet of frontage on Upland Street.. The square footage method works to his disadvantage; the front footage method works to his advantage. A drawing is attached to show you how irregular the lot shapes are in this neighborhood. The dark Lots were assessed; Mr. Bystedt's lot is colored green. No matter which method you use, some owners will probably object, Owners with small lots that have long frontages adjacent to the street wilL pay more if you switch to a front footage method. Below, I have estimated what would happen to seven assessments :f you were to switch methods: Square Front Footage Footage Increase Parcel. Method Method <Decrease> 047-064-04 (Reese) $ 449 $ 425 $ <24> 047-064-18 (Garnett) 1,979 1,827 <152> 047-064-19 (Roberts) 1,727 2,336 609 047-064-:39 (Byst.edt) 2,575 222 <2,363> 047-071-:22 (Vozar) 602 1,436 834 047-092-13 (NYCE') 373 1,230 857 047-092-17 (Tomrdle) 1,002 1,674 672 The problem that. the Council has before it now is how to equitably allocate the costs. If you switch to a front footage method to favor Mr. Bystedt, you increase the assessments to many other property owners. Those other owners will not. have notice of the "new" method; they will rely on the pre-iminary roll, the final roll, and the notices of assessments that have been mailed to them. They probably will not at�:end the September 18 council meeting, because they won't anticipate a change. The City administration has generally avoided the front footage method because it generally doubles assessments on corner lots, thus resulting in complaints from those property owners. Also, as noted above, unless Council directs otherwise, it is the method prescribed by City COde. A'.. this point, I offer -he followinc advice: do not change allocation methods, because in fairness to the other property owners, it is simply too 'Late. If the Council genuinely feels that Mr. Bystedt's aGsessment is inequitabLe, then make a finding that his lot has no', r,�ceived benefit from tiie paving in the same manner that other parcels hive receive.d. What. yci,i would be doing is invoking your authority uiider KMC 1h,05.010 'by iE-.�c.,dinq �_hat the value of the benefit to Lot 047-064-39 _s, less than 1.11at calca.,lated by the usual allocation mt�thod. In doing so, di.rect ftat t�.e assessment on that lot be set at s�)me lower I'Lgure (say $21(,,0), and that the oxcess be paid from grant f_,nds, not roailocated 1 o other properties.

ROLL CALL Present: Joanna Hollier, Sam Huddleston, Georgetta Funk, Frances Meeks, Paul Padilla, Sylvia Johnson Absent: Elmer Seay, Pauline Gross Also Present: Councilmember Linda Swarner, Kenai Senior Director Pat Porter, and interested Senior Citizens 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES The minutes of the last meeting were approved by unanimous consent. 3. OLD BUSINESS a. Smoking Policy President Hollier reported that most of the people she had talked to about this issue were in favor of retaining a smoking area at the center. She felt that maybe a policy could be instituted in the future to make the center non-smoking. Hollier also presented several *Letters most of which were in favor of keeping the smoking area. Concerns were expressed about the health of some seniors who might be affected by the smoke. Anchorage,Ninilchik and possibly Homer have made their centers non-smoking. Linda Swarner asked if there were Federal Guidelines f or non- smoking in senior centers? Pat Porter said there were no federal regulations, but state regulations limit smoking in public buildings to specific areas. Motion and Vote: Hollier made the motion to continue the smoking policy as is, with anticipation of reconsideration of changing the policy in 2 years. Georgetta Funk seconded. Passed unanimously. b. Dance Floor The new dance floor has arrived at the center. It will be used for groups who wish to rent the center and need a dance floor. MAYORS COUNCIL ON AGING September 10, 1991 Page 2. Linda Swarner asked if there would be an additional charge to use the dance floor? Pat Porter said yes and that she is working out the additional charge for this use. C. Housing The congregate housing design committee went before the Council with several suggestions to add to the housing design. Some of the suggestions were: cedar siding (similar to the Senior Center); changes to the third story windows; automatic doors; and additional car plug -ins in the parking lot. Council is in the process of reviewing these suggestions to utilize excess money which had been appropriated but not used due to the low bid amount of this project. 4. NEW BUSINESS a. Chamber Meeting Pat Porter reported that monthly chamber luncheon will be at held at the center September 11th. This will coincide with the center's 20th anniversary celebration and a large cake will be provided. b. Name for Congregate Housing Pat Porter reported that the Congregate Housing project needed a name. Chris Monfor had suggested Vintage Pointe, Vintage Pointe Manor was also suggested. riche Council on Aging wished to refer this to the City Council. 5.

Their next regularly scheduled meeting will be October 10th, 1991. D--3 KENAI HARBOR COMMISSION September 9, 1991 Kenai City Hall Barry Eldridge, Chairman ROLL CALL: The meeting was called to order by Chairman Eldridge at 7:21 p.m. Commissioners present were: Eldridge, Jahrig, Maguire, and Thompson. Also present was Ad Hoc member Walker. 2. APPROVAL —OF AGENDA: Thompson moved to approve the agenda and Maguire second. Agenda was approved. 3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF AUGUST 12, 1991: Thompson moved to approve the minutes as written. Jahrig seconded and minutes were approved. 4. OLD-AUgLINESS - a. Harbormasters Conference (1) Commissioners reviewed the memos of September 4 and 9 regarding room rental and meal quotes from various motels/restaurants. Maguire noted the rates from Kings Inn differed from the ones he received from Shelly at the Kings Inn. This needs to be clarified as well as the availability of the room for the banquet. Maguire also stated that Louie's does have a room at the airport that is available and he has received some quotes for the room and meals. (2) Since Mr. Kornelis was unavailable, the Commissioners were unable to determine if all the speakers have been lined up. A work session was set up for September 16, 1991, to finalize the agenda for the conference to be submitted to the Council on Wednesday. Thompson stated he would get together with Mr. Kornelis and obtain the information before, the next meeting. Commissioners reviewed the registration memorandum and noted the people/organizations that were sent the registration packet should also be sent the motel room rates. b. Fishing Hole. There was a general discussion of the feasibility of two Possible fishing enhancement projects. one being a fishing hole by Meek's Crossing KENAI HARBOR COMMISSION September 9, 1991 - 2 - and the other to dam an area at the gulch to create small lake to stock for fishing. The area of the fishing hole has many small private lots in the vicinity and the area of the gulch project may have some mental health lands which might become available after the next legislative session. After the meeting the Commissioners went upstairs to look at maps of the area to establish ownership of the parcels. After further investigation, the Commission intends to submit the projects with their justifications to the Council for possible engineering studies. Thompson will talk with Homer Fish & Game regarding their fishing hole and he will also talk with Cook Inlet Aquaculture regarding fish enhancement. Maguire felt these projects should encourage handicap accessibility. He also suggested placing an easy slope ramp with handrails at Cunningham Park to assist the handicap. C. Commission vacancy. In order to meet quorum requirements with more ease, the vacant position needs to be filled as soon as possible. Maguire suggested since Hallstead has been absent from the last several meetings, his position should be declared vacant making two vacancies on the Commission. An inquiry needs to be made of Hallstead to determine if he desires to remain on the Commission. Maguire stated Robert's Rules of Order should be searched because he feels there is a clause stating when there are two vacancies on a commission/board, the quorum requirement can be 6ismissed until such time as those vacancies are filled. d.

The ground will be leveled in preparation of grass seed. Seibert expressed concern about the City planning or making major changes within a park without first going to the Commission. He made note to Ordinance No. 1448-91, referring to re -appropriations for a new Kenai River Viewing Area. He does not feel that any money should be taken from ballfield improvements to build a new park that was not even brought through the Commission for approval. Those monies should be spent on improving or maintaining current parks that need it and not for establishing a new park. McGillivray stated the Council did vote to leave those funds alone. Attempts were made for the Forest Drive Park project to go through the Commission, however, a quorum could not be established during the summer months.

Nash said that his understanding of the reconsideration was that the only thing being addressed was the main mot -Lon, so he would direct his comments to that. Nash said it. appeared that the two issues that were of concern to the Commission on the first vote were 1) total number of square feet used for the B&B versus the total square footage of the building, 2) whether or not the B&B would be owner occupied. The testimony of the 24th was that Ms. Wright intended to have this B&B as a seasonal operation and she would occupy it during those months. The issue of the total square feet was discussed from rough drawings and since that time, drawings have been rendered with total square feet of the three levels of the house. (Nash presented copies to the Commission.) KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION August 24, 1991 Page 2 The upper floor has three bedrooms, storage area and stairs.

Williams stated the RDC has been very active in the ANWR question and without proper funding, they cannot continue. Monfor and Swarner stated that they felt the RDC was lacking in putting out information, etc. Monfor added that she sees no benefit to the City and that the City should not be spending taxpayer mone, on it. Smalley stated that the RDC has been Y active in the wetlands issue. Williams stated that he feels the City should continue to pay the dues. The RDC has been active in the wetlands issue. Williams .is planning on bringing another proposal to Council regarding the boat ramp. He is waiting new Corps of Engineer rules. Williams suggested that someone represent the City at the RDC meetings. Monfor reminded Council that not all citizens of Kenai are pro - development and supports AMTR.

Discussion - Preparation of a Resolution Accepting the Maintenance of Forest Drive, Redoubt Avenue, Beaver Loop and Wildwood Drive from the Department of Transportation. Williams stated that he and City Manager Brighton and Public Works Director Karnelis attended a meeting with the Department of Transportation to discuss Capital Improvement Projects. DOT requested that the City accept the maintenance for Forest Drive, Redoubt Avenue, Beaver Loop and Wildwood Drive. DOT requested a KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES September 4, 1991 Page 9 resolution from the Council stating their agreement to the proposal. Williams stated that he did not believe Council would agree unless Forest Drive is upgraded to No. 1 condition. Williams stated that he did not believe the City would consider taking over Beaver Loop. Also, Wildwood Drive would need to be upgraded since the prison is the main user of the road. Brighton stated that Forest Drive has been dropped from the upgrading schedule altogether. Walker stated he sees no benefit to the City to take over the responsibility. Kornelis stated that the State may not upgrade the street unless there is pressure from the City. Williams noted that the DOT's budget is getting smaller. The Governor has used approximately $200,000 for building of the Cordova Road. Williams does not believe the DOT will have much money. Brighton suggested the State may turn over the roads to the City without the City's acceptance. Kornelis stated that Forest Drive and Redoubt had been the City's responsibility until the State upgraded them. The work was not acceptable (silt, etc. was not removed) and the City did not accept the work. The maintenance of the road then went to the State. Smalley stated that it would be better to have it upgraded prior to accepting responsibility. Smalley is concerned with taking over Beaver Loop as there would be a large amount of additional plowing for 'the City. Williams suggested Brighton write a letter to DOT including the information regarding the upgrade schedule, etc. and state that when the Forest Drive is upgraded to No. 1 condition, the City may accept the responsibility of the maintenance of that road. Discuss Forest Drive and Redoubt only. Monfor suggested letters be sent to the School District and the Borough as Forest Drive receives much of its use from school buses. Request the School District and the Borough to write letters to the State regarding their concerns of the lack of road maintenance. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES September 4, 1991 Page 10 H-8. Approval - Change Orders/Kenai Bicentennial & Visitor Center. The September 4, 1991 Bill Kluge letter with the attached change orders was distributed to Council prior to the meeting. The letter stated that the T-111 siding specified for the building is no longer available in twelve -foot lengths. Kluge recommended upgrading and using continuous 1 x 6 vertical cedar siding. The contractor has agreed to omit his overhead and bonding costs from the price of the material. Brighton explained the change order for the additional concrete sidewalk. Brighton stated that there was some controversy over the flag pole and where people were going to park at the Chamber and the street cut given by Bookey. Discussions followed in which it was decided the ideal situation would be to not park on the gravel in front of the Chamber, but remove the gravel and seed it. Allow visitors to the Chamber to park in the parking lot of the Visitors Center and add a sidewalk between the parking lot and the Chamber. It was determined there were sufficient funds to allow the work. Brighton added that neither the contractor nor architect were much involved in these discussions. The request came from the Chamber. NOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of the Change order items in the amount of $1,691. and $3,940 for a total of $6,531 to Kluge & Associates. Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED to convene in an executive session of the Council of the City of Kenai, concerning matters the immediate knowledge of which would clearly have an adverse effect upon the finances of the City of Kenai. Finance Director Brown, City Manager Brighton, and City Attorney Graves were requested to be present. Councilman McComsey SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. EXECUTIVE SESSION BEGAN: 8:00 p.m. BACK TO ORDER: 8:23 p.m. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES September 4, 1991 Page 11 Councilman Measles reported that during the executive session the Council discussed a legal matter of litigation pending on Inlet Woods Subdivision. After the discussion, Council gave direction to Administration as to the next step to take. ITEM I: ADMINISTRATION REPORTS I-1. Mayor Williams reminded Council of the ground breaking ceremony for the Fire Training School scheduled for September 5, 1991 at 2:00 p.m. A reception will follow at Pizza Paradisos. Williams requested Vice Mayor Measles to preside during the Council Meeting of September 18, 1991 as he will be Washington, D.C. discussing the Cold Water Recovery School. 1-2. City Manager Brighton requested a scheduled time for the Council to walk through the Forest Drive Park in order to give Administration direction of what Council desires. Kornelis stated that most of the big trees are out. He will have a loader in to remove the brush and then a dozer to remove the stumps. Walker stated that perhaps Council has already walked through themselves and that they could just direct Brighton to direct Kornelis to finish as scheduled. Brighton stated that they would prefer Council give direction. A walk-through was scheduled for Monday, September 9, 1991 at 4:00 p.m. Councilmembers Smalley, Swarner and perhaps Walker will be attending. Smalley asked Council if there were any objections to the Council attending the walk-through to direct Kornelis to continue with the work if that is what they feel would be appropriate. Answer: Yes. Kornelis stated that they will remove the beetle killed trees along the street also. 1-3. Attorney No report. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES September 4, 1991 Page 12 1-4. City Clerk Clerk requested Council to forward information to her regarding attendance to the AML Conference in November. 1-5. Finance Director No report. 1-6. Public Works Director Kornelis reported: 1. He discussed the addition of the windows to the Congregate Housing with the Architect. The architect has agreed to the price of $18,000. $5,000 will be for the cost of the windows. 2. Referred to Information Item No. 4. The item is a letter from Kornelis to Kluge regarding the replacement of the carpet pad and carpet at the Senior Center. Kluge's response letter was attached. Discussion followed. Williams noted that Kluge's letter did not state whether or not he expressed dissatisfaction of the City during the Final Inspection. Kornelis stated that he recalls pointing out the creases in the carpet, to Kluge. Kluge told him that the contractor explained that the creases were from the carpet being rolled up. Kluge agreed with the contractor that it was an acceptable explanation for the different thicknesses. It was brought to Kornelis' attention that the carpet was bad when the manufacturer was in town. They examined the carpet and found the problem. Kornelis added that the architect's contract states that he is responsible for the work to be done properly. Also, the subcontractor has gone out of' business. The subcontractor's bond is available. It will cost approximately $20,000 to replace the pad and the carpet. Swarner asked if there is anything written on inspection forms that the architect voiced a concern regarding the creases. Kornelis stated that he remembers that he pointed it out to the architect. Kornelis asked the architect to ask the contractor. He was told by the contractor that it was the way it was rolled. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES September 4, 1991 Page 13 Kornelis stated that the City will have to go against G&S Construction to replace the whole carpet, then G&S Construction would apply for the subcontractor's bonding. The City's agreement is with G&S Construction, not the subcontractor. The consensus of Council was to fix the carpet, whatever it takes. Kornelis asked if Council wants to replace the carpet and forget about Kluge. Kluge will want to be paid approximately $600. Brighton stated he thought it strange to hire an inspector and let him off the hook. Smalley stated he felt Kluge's job is not completed. Measles stated that his personal feeling is that if Kluge wants to work with the City again, he better fix the carpet. The City can take him off the work list. Brighton stated the City paid Kluge to protect the interest of the City and he has not done this. Kornelis stated he feels comfortable with the contract. Walker stated he wants the carpet replaced and the work done properly. Williams suggested they clarify the message for Kluge. Measles stated that the Council wants the carpet taken out and replaced by the general contractor and Kluge to inspect the work at no further charge to the City. 3. Kornelis explained that gravel was placed in a cul-de- sac on Sterling Court as a measure to improve drainage of the area. 1-7. Airport Manager No report. council thanked Airport Manager for the enplanement report and the Long -Term Pay Parking Report distributed prior to the meeting. ITEM J: DISCUSSION J-1. citizens Steven Peloza - Overland Street, Kenai. Peloza requested a follow-up report regarding the speeding of vehicles on the road in front of his shop in Old Town. Peloza stated that he had asked Planning & Zoning to place signs approximately six weeks ago. He has telephoned Kornelis, but Kornelis did not return his calls. Peloza added that he gets complaints from tourists daily. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES September 4, 1991 Page 14 Smalley stated that he brought Peloza's request to the City Manager. Smalley added that at the time of the P&Z meeting, he stated to Peloza that the property is private and the City does not maintain it. There is no maintenance agreement with the owners of the property. The City is now trying to negotiate an agreement with the Church. Peloza requested citations be issued to speeders. Chief Ross stated that the officers cannot issue citations for speeding on the road because it is private property. If a vehicle is driven in a reckless manner, then they can issue a citation. His department has investigated the speeding question. The Police Department has a different idea of speeding than Peloza. Peloza requested that use a radar gun. Ross stated that it does not warrant it. Peloza requested assigning an officer. Ross stated it is private property. Ross added that he and his officers have been there several times. Peloza stated a three-wheeler was stopped and cited. Ross stated the citation was issued for off -road vehicle use in the City. Williams stated that the City would be trespassing if it patrolled that area. Smalley suggested residents of the area contact the Church Bishop and ask for signs to be placed. J-2. Council Walker Nothing. Swarner Upset to pay the RDC. The dues would pay for an additional employee in the budget. Williams stated employees are more expensive. Monfor - Long-term parking was raised to $5.00 per day in Anchorage. Measles - Nothing. MCComsey - Lights need to be replaced above the dais. Smalley - Nothing.

Enclosed is a copy of a memorandum from our City Engineer, Jack LaShot. The memorandum cites problems we have had with two of our projects. Both projects will benefit the City of Kenai and its citizens from the standpoint of safety and recreation. Also enclosed is an article from the Anchorage Times, in which Warren T. Brookes of Creators Syndicate reviewed the history of the 1987 and 1989 wetlands manual. Discussion also involves the 1992 Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act and a court case in Missouri in which the U.S. Government was found to have no jurisdiction with regard to the Clean Water Act and wetlands policy.

BEAVER LOOP BOAT LAUNC KENAI RIVER 256 Type of project: Construct concrete boat launch, gravel filled parking area and access road. Location is within the Kenai River flats at mile 6.8 of the river. How long has permit been pending? Applied for: 12/13/89 Denial notification: 1/29/91 131/2 months for determination Federal agencies that objected and why: Agencies: EPA, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Marine Fisheries Service Objections: Destruction of wetlands habitat for birds, fish, and manimals; erosion potential; water quality: change sediment system; need qUestioned; requested other alternatives be further considered. Page 2 September 9, 1991 Sec. 404 Permit Problems Potential economic benefits and jobs: The additional access to the lower river would add tourism and fishing related support services to the Kenai economy. Construction jobs initially and service industry jobs later could be created. Have federal agencies required mitigation? Permit was denied, therefore project was not constructed. Other information: Need to categorize wetlands as to value. This would give an applicant for permits to have a better perspective of opposition. Agencies tended to "gang" up in the permitting process. AIRPORT DRAINAGE AND SAFETY ZONE PROJECT KENAI RIVER 155 Type of project. Excavation and fill safety zone areas along the runway and beyond the ends, install underground drainage system and erosion control according to FAA guidelines. How long has permit been pending? Applied for: 11/7/90 Permit process now waiting for completion of an environmental assessment. Federal agencies that objected and why: Agencies: EPA, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Objections: Destruction of wetlands habitat, disturbance of caribou during calving scason. Page 3 September 9, 1991 Sec. 404 Permit Problems Potential economic benefits and jobs: The construction would provide jobs for a short period, otherwise the project is to upgrade the airport for human safety and airport functions. Have fMer-al agencies required mitigation? They are requiring that excess soil material be placed out of wetlands, which will increase the project cost considerably. Also, they will require that extensive re -seeding be done and no work can take place during the caribou calving season. Other information: This project is being done to comply with FAA guidelines for safety, yet is objected to by other agencies. It is against FAA guidelines to encourage use of the restricted area of the airport by wildlife, yet the permitting process discourages any destruction of wildlife habitat. The wetlands being considered for use by the project are considered low value, but due to no ranking system, the review agencies discourage use. The removal of excavated material 'will destroy limited uplands in the area at a high cost. JL/kv Legislation.ends-Yeign of terror over wetlandil Last Wednesday, as the coup -ollapsed on the streets of Mos- :ow, the great 200 million acre wetlands "land grab" collapsed in the regional offices of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. A memorandum from John Studt, chief of the regulator), J branch of the Corps Directorate 3f Civil 'Works, announced Lhat the controversial 1989 Federal Manual for Identifying and Delineating Jurisdictional Wet- lands was inoperative, dead, kaput.

No wetlands juris- rranual not adopted in accord- dictional deteirminations should- ance with the requirements for he trade using the 1'139 manual after Aug. 17,1991." Suddenly, literally thousands of property owners around the country, left in limbo by arbi- trary sanctions against their property under the 1989 manual, are off the book. The great wet- lands land grab has been tempo- rarily derailed, another example of the failure of environmental extremists to understand the limits to their abuse of power. This does not, however, end the issue. Even the 1987 manual, which is far more rational in its approach to defining a wetlands as a property that actually is wet most of the time, has no real basis in law. and remains a bu- reaucratic construction. Bear in mind that the 1972 Clean Water Act says nothing about wetlands. Its Section 404 only forbids dumping into "the navigable waters of the United States." The story of how bureaucrats at the Corps of Engineers, as well as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Environmental Protection Agency gradually ex- tended Section 404 to cover iso- lated patches of "hydric soils" with not even the remotest con- nection with real marshlands, let alone "navigable waters," is as murky as the way in which halt a dozen Soviet apparatchiks seized power in Moscow last week. The illegal process was well documented in a 1989 brief pre- pared for the Justice Depart- ment by then Assistant Attorney General Stephen Markman that said: "The Corps and the EPA have actively circumvented the Constitution's requirements, and the federal district and circuit courts have let them get away "ith it. But the Corps and the EPA have been treating Section 4,'4 of the Clean Water Act as a convenient vehicle by which to provide a limited bootstrap ve sion of the wetlands preservatic program Congress never enac ed." Last April, a federal distrit court jury in Missouri expos4E this when it threw out the go ernment's flimsy case again James and Mary Ann Mosele. Missouri farmers who had built perimeter levee to keep the Mississippi basin farm froi flooding —only to have the corl step in and claim the area to t "wetlands of the Uniited States It sued the Moseleys for viol tions of the Clean Water Act, d manding fines of as much i $25,000 a day. But the Moseleys' lawye John Arens, destroyed the go emment's case not only I demonstrating the capricious re lure of this "wetlands policy" b also the total absence of at legal foundation for it. He said in this week's Forb magazine. "What really cc vinced the jury the governme had no case came when it disco ered the government prosecuto had no lawl "The jury kept sending out the judge for copies of the 'we lands law.' When the judge se them federal regulations, th, sent back and asked for the la When the judge sent them t Clean Water Act, Section /A and said this was all the law bad to give them, they decid the government had no case t cause they had no jurisdiction.' Last week, the wetlands cc began to unravel, for exactly t same reasons the thugs who tn to steal the Soviet governmf failed: It was lawless from t start. Warren T.

Based upon our discussion, it is apparent that we share a high regard for the uniqueness of the Kenai River system. We also agree with you that conservation solutions are probably going to found on the "middle ground." While we have not concluded our analysis of information collected during our two day visit with interested individuals, groups and government representatives, we do feel confident that The Nature Conservancy can provide some type of meaningful assistance on Kenai River conservation initiatives. Our task now is to determine what type of assistance would represent an appropriate and cost effective use of Conservancy resources.

Our common goal is to present a unified and visible commitment toward the creation of a DRUG -FREE AMERICA. We all have the right to live in drug -free families and communities, learn in drug -free schools, work in drug --free work places and drive on drug -free highways. Drugs will always be available, so we must change attitudes and develop one of intolerance to the use of illegal drugs, and to the illegal use of Legal drugs. Enc.-Al.osed you will find suggested activities taken from the NFP Red Ribbon Handbook that you may want to implement during the week of October 19-27, along with an order form for supplies. The fight against drugs can be won, but we must continue to prevent drug use by educating our youth about the dangers, and encourage them to make positive, responsible choices.

It is clear, how- ever, that municipalities are heavily im- Facted by the Act, nat only as empioyeis, I ut as providers of public service�.

In the meantime, mu- nicipal employers arewell-advised to write job clescripions that clearly state all the duties most important for each job be- cause position descriptions will be given primary consideration of an employer's intent. An individualwithadisabilit� isonewho has a physical or mental impairment that �Isubstantially limits one or more major life activities," who has a "record" iDf such im- pairmerit, or who is "regarded'" as having such an impairment. Thus, individuals who may be included within ADA's pro- tection are those with disfiguring scars or perhaps a cured disease, if that. individual is regarded by others as bein disabled. 1 9 The ADA identifies seven q,pes of dis- crimination: 1. Limiting, Segregating, or Classifying Disabled Persons. Employers cannot dis- criminate against qualified disabled per- sons b\ "limiting, segregating, or classify- inii applicants or employees such that they are riot given opportunities or status because of a disability. This rneans that employers must make hiring, promotion, ard other decisions based on racts appli- cable to specific individuals. 2. Accommodation and Undue Hard- ship. Employers cannot discriminate against disabled ipplicants or employees by failim, to make "reasonable accommo- dation" to the i-idividual's "physical or mental impairnient," unless the employer can show that'giving that accornmr-Aation would cause theemployer an "undue hard- sn,p." Specific interpretation of what con- stitutes an undue hardship, as compared to what a reasonable accommodation might be,wi I vary in each SitUariOn. Con- gress, Ims, however, anticipateO a number of questions pertoining to undue hardship a n, , d reasonable accommoclatic,n and has F,rovidej ;otne asistance. First, the emp1c,yee must be "otherwise qL1JhfieLT' tO perfcrm the "essenrial duties" ofa job. Sec:)nd, the impairmeit must be known o !he eniplo�er. And third, the acco n) r,,ncl a �inn Must be reqi;e,ted by t I ie eniplovoe. [�',e,isc�nibleicccriiiii,--)clatioris ni,:� in(: ILJ,-Ie making existing t,icilities ac- cessible and usable, restructuringa job to fit particular needs, modifyingworksched- ules to allow for physical therapy, acquisi- tion or modification of equipment used on the job, providing readers or interprete�s. etc. Undue hardship is defined by th,? Act as any action that results in significant diffi- culty or expense. Under Section 504 of the rehabilitation Act, such hardships may include the nature and cost of the,:iccom- modation, the financial resources of the employer to provided the accommoda. tion, the size and number of other emplcy- ees in the employer's business, et�:. Many factors may be taken into consiJ eration when weighing undue burcIcin against what constitutes a reason,ible ai�-- commodation. Since enforcement age�i- cies and the courts are free to cletermike whether other factors may be incluct-d and will do so on a case by case bas,5, employers are advised to consulm it In legal counsel when faced with these prcbICIT-5, 3. Qualification Standards. Employe-s cannot discriminate against disabli?d per- sons by using qualification stanclaids, ern- ployment tests, or other selection criteria thattend to screen out the disabled, unless the criteria can be shown to be job i or related to "business necessity." Nius, if employers use certain job requirements that tend to screen out persons wii:h ct�r- tain types of disabilities, employers mt,,;t first show thatthe requirement wa � nece - sary because itwas related to the'c,,sentl il duties" of the specific job and thx sett,[ g the standard constituted a 'busiress rt- cessity." What constitutes 'bLJS1r,CS$ ��O- cessity" will be determined on a a�e case basis. (conti:med on o i -Yt� I . I 'V�tl Touchstone a September 11 91 '%ii� I, - ge 1 3 ADA (continued from page 13) 4. Employment Tests as an Accurate Measure of job Criteria. Under this pro- vision, employers cannot discriminate by using employment tests that do not accti- rately measure what the test Purports 10 measure. Employers will be required to show that any test accurately reflects tf,.e skills, aptitudes, or other factors that a ie required to perform the essential duties ()f a job. The employer may even incluc�e such things as sensory, manual, Or spea��- irg skills, if required to perform the job. 5. Contractual or Other Agreements. Employers cannot discriminate against d is_ abled personsbytaking part in contracts or other relationships that tend to discrimi- mite against an applicant or employee with a disability. This includes relatiore- sl-lips with employment agencies, labor otganiZations, and organizations provid- ing benefits or training. 6.Administrative Standards. Employers cannot discriminate against disabled per - son!� by using administrative standards, criteria, or methods that have the effect cf di,1criminating on the basis of disability, or that perpetuate the discrimination of oth- ers undercommon administrative control. 7. Disabled Relatives. Employers cannot dkcfiminate against persons because they may bi�� related to or associated with an ndividual known to have a disability. For example, assume that an individual ap- plies for employment who is qualified for the po�,ition sought, but tells you durin�,, the interview that her spouse has multiple sclerosis. The employer would be violat ing ADA if it refuses to hire the applican, 1)ecause to do so would cause the indi �idual to miss work more often than an- )thei in order to care for the spouse, or thiit covering the applicant's dependent inder medical benefitswould betocostl� o I he employer. 8. In General. A final type of cliscrimina- Tiol is applicable overall and relates to �ctahation or the development of an em- p1cyriellt environment in which interfer t�n -e, coercion, or hostility is involved. licre. i,rnployers cannot discriminate nst individuals by virtue c,f their exer 1�1 I C,f :i ny right guaranteed by the ADA. milly, theAct does not permit empicyer� t -) n(;uire of the applicants whether theN, i\ e dkabilities. Rather, employers may "k" Fre-ernPloyment inquirif-5 into the abijity ot or applicant to perform job re- lated I'Linctions." If an employer becomes ay.,.-ire thit a present employee is having dilticulty performing a job, the employer m,)y request that an employee undergo a VOIUntar�, medical examination, under certain cirCUmstances and precautions. Municipalities as Providers of Public facilities ritle 11 of the ADA states that "public ertities" (cities and boroughs) cannot ex- ClUde any "qualified individual with a dis- ability" trom its "services, programs, or ac- tivjties�'or subject the disabled to discrimi- na-ion. Qualified individuals are those who "with or without reasonable modifi- cations to rules, policies, or practices, the removal of architectural, communication, or transportation barriers," meet the .1es- sential eligibility" requirements for the re- ceipt of services provided by public enti- tie,,. What constitutes the "essential eligibil- ity''of a disabled person to the services and facilities of A�aska's cities has notyet been determined. it is clear, however, that intewention of the ADA will be broader than the publ ic access questions, provided underTitlell of theCivil RightsActof 1961, because Congress has made it clear in a number of Senate reports that it intends to en,�ible the disabled greater access to the benefits of society and our culture. And, though not specifically discussed here, access to privately owned business such as FeStaurants, bars, hotels, theaters, banks, and health spas in order to provide "full and equ al en�oyment'* of those accommo- has similarly been ordered under Jations Fide III of the ADA. Conclusion The federal Equal Employment Oppor- tunitv Commission has released regula- tions to enforce the ADA and has already iSSUed guidelines for enforcement for both the employer -employee relationship and the r_�rcivisjon of Public accommodations.

The regulations, issued by the state D��partment of Natural Resources, would enforce the revised Forest Prac- tices Act, adopted by the legislature in 1990. The new law regulates logging or state and private lands, while fed- eral lands, such as the Tongass and Chugach National Forests, are cov- ered under federal timber management regulations. Those who derive their living from th,� forest turned out in large numbers in publ , ic meetings across the State over the pasi month to voice their con - cerns over the proposed regulations. Timber operators insist the long and �,cniplex reg�.jlations w& ren-Ove large chunksof prime timber from narvesting and will result in substantially higher acimmistrative and operating costs.

Fialbouty Fven though the road toward a U.S. national energy policy has been potted with broken promises and misguided endeavors, President Bush is trying to establish a national onergy policy that will work. He understands the problem more than any prior president, but he runs into barriers created by the Congress and other forces working against him. For example, he has recommended that the Arctic Na- tional Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) in Alaska be drilled, and his administration has proposed a long list of restrictions and regulations to protect animals and their habitats in the vast refuge - but those preventive measures do not satisfy the over-zealOLJs environmental groups that have been lobbying to keep the oil companies out of the area Leaders of these groups have said that they will fight to �eep any activity from ever happening in ANWR. So we cannot drill in ANWR because of objections from tne environmentalists. We cannot move thousands of barrels of oil from the prolific Point Arguello fields offshore California becaLlse of objections from the environmentalists. We cannot build pipelines or transpori the oil we find t-ecause of objections frorn the environmentalists. We cannot carry on any kind of inventory exploration on cr in the 750 million acres of wilderness lands becauseof the cbjections of the environmentalists. The nation is submitting itself to these groups that are gradUally undermining the country's growth pattern as well as effecting its way of life. We are beginning to see a rebuttal of their actions by legal and media professions - two important areas of influence. For example, William Perry Pendley, president and chief legal officer of the Mountain States Legal Foundation in Denver, recently stated: "There Is a dangerous elitism in the reality that Congress appears less concerned about sending young men and women of this nation to war than about risking the wrath of so- called envi ron mental ists by producing oil offshore California or in an infinitesimal portion of the North Slope of Alaska." I im also reminded of the e<cellent staternent made by Warren Brooks of the Detroit News who said " 7 Fogether we have become all-too-willirg putty in the hand�, of the intellectual charlatans of the environmental movernen, who now are eading an almost _uddite attack ag�.iine3t sound science. technoiogy and :.1rowth itself and �A host) main agenda seems rot to be asatei, cleaner environ- n,ent. but si[Tiply to throw swids in the qear:3 of the economy. and psychological terror and just plain misinformation n thE, minds of unsuspecting consumers." It we do not wake up to this destructive agenda a �d en vironmental power that are trying to usurp every gowtIr movement in the country, our already de -industrialize -I con- dition could end in total de -industrialization, forever prevent ing us from restoring our economic and strategic stre!rlgths Americans must realize that unreasonable and fanatical environmental groups should not prevent or stymie U.S eco nomic growth. We can no longer sit back and take the abuse im-ose(i on our industry, which affects the nation as well aS, out profession. We should fight those groups as hard as they are fiqnting us. It is because we have sat back and took what they di shed out that they feel comfortable in continuing their tirade a,gains', US. Moreover, what they are doing is without reasori and wholly contradictory. For example, they want electricity ir every form to satisfy their life style. They want: • Fuel to drive their cars. • Fuel and lubricants for their wheels and motorc� des. • Gas or electricity to cook their meals. • Hot and cold water • Oil and gas to keep them warm in the winter and cool in the summer. • Railroads, highways, trucks to delver their good 3 and food, and a thousand other myriad items - all of which use petroleum - yet, they go out to prevent us from searching, finding and producing it. I do not follow their reasoning, nor do I accepi their methods. Ineffectual demonstrations - purposefully contmed to harass and exploit the media - and displaying sign!; with untruths and fictitious slogans are not the answer; coopera- tion, understanding, tolerance and working togethertoviard a mutual solution is the only way to go. Both sides should sit across from each other anJ fer- vently attempt to compatibly work out proper and satist�ictory guidelines to explore and develop whatever resource �)ene- fits the welfare of the country and its people. It we don't halt or slow -down this environmental po,,ver, it will eventually destroy the incentives to explore and lorc(luce oil, gas, minerals and any other natural resources that -.ome from Me earth. The future of all types of geological exo,oral_ tion is at stake. It's a Girl!

We feel. that services above and beyond our proposed Scope of Work have been provided on this project. During the dinir.q room addition Bid Document preparations, we detailed out and preparEA specifications for re -siding the entire building, at no additiona L costs. During the Construction phase we detailed and administered tte corrective work done at the existing solarium, again at no additionaL cost. Inspection services exceeded -those anticipated by our proposal, ex- tend.-':,.ng over a twelve month period. Never the less, we followed up cii pad 'Lines showing througJ1 the carpet. We then reported our findings, and alternatives to the City. This was not done as a result of 'i Councilmember's or Senior Representative's complaint but because w�� were looking after the ;Owner's interests. We have elected to follow through with the City's desire to have u�.� oversee the carpet replacement. This is being done on a volunteer basis rather than contractual basis, in an interest of keeping a goo,� , I working relation with the Council.. There will be no charge for thi.,� service. All we ask is that the Council appreciate our efforts. Attached is a letter dLrecting the Contractor to remove and replac- the carpet. Also attached for the City's information, is a lettet from Alpine Interiors to the carpet pad supplier, with a cop� of a - advertisement the materiaL was purchased from. I will notify the Cit� aS scon as we receive a response from the Contractor. If an� addi- tional. information is needed or you have any questions, please fee'. free to call..
