Kenai City Council Members
Bill Kluge, Principal Architect
Kenai Bicentennial Visitors and Cultural Center
I feel the Council needs to redefine their views of a change order. A
change order is not automatically a dirty word. The flexibility to
make changes is an important part of the construction process. No
matter how much planning precedes the beginning of actual construc-
tion, unexpected contingencies always develop. If the Council feels I
am unjustified in making such a statement, I challenge them to show me
a project to the contrary. Our budget on this project includes a
minimal 5% contingency and until that contingency is used, we are
within the project budget.
We are in receipt of a letter from Keith Kornelis requesting that the
Mechanical Engineer pay for an additional 1/2 inch of concrete. In
the letter attached to the change orders, I pointed out that the
concrete is a Structural Engineering decision. Bill Nelson noted that
his concrete references indicated we were 1/8" shy of the desired
thickness. He also informed me that he felt 1/8" wasn't enough to be
concerned over. From experience, I realize it is inappropriate to
expect subgrade for concrete to be perfect. If the subgrade were 1/4"
high our slab would be 3/8" less then the desired thickness. I recom-
mended the additional concrete in the interest of assuring a quality
end product. It is unreasonable for the City to expect an Architect
to pay for materials used to improve the quality of their building.
I would also like to make sure that you all understand the contribu-
tions that we have made on this project. In an effort to obtain
funding for this project I personally donated $10,160 at our Archi-
tects and Staff Architects billing rates. When Architectural propos-
als were submitted on this project our proposal came in lowest by
$3,972. To assist the City in staying within their budget we trimmed
our proposed fee by $19,792. To assure that the bidding documents
were complete, we continued working on them even though we exceeded
our negotiated design fee. Including Architectural, Civil and Struc-
tural work, our local businesses expended $61,384 in billable hours
above and beyond what was in our negotiated fee. If you think this
amount is just dreamed up, I'd be happy to provide time sheets. The
bid prices and the fact that no deductive alternates were needed to
stay within the construction budget illustrates the quality of our bid
documents.
After all this effort for the community I have lived in for ten years,
we were excluded from interviews for the next City project. I'm
asking that you do not add insult to injury by expecting us to pay for
materials on the City's project.

RESOLUTION 91-42
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, IN
SUPPORT OF THE INCORPORATION OF NIKISKI AS A SECOND-CLASS CITY.
WHEREAS, the people of the Nikiski area have historically and
consistently advocated local community control of services; and,
WHEREAS, the North Peninsula Service Areas have been providing
fire (since 1968), recreation (since 1980), and road (since 1983)
services; and,
WHEREAS, the incorporation of Nikiski will allow for the maximum
citizen input of participation into the local decision -making
processes involved in planning, land use, and resource
development; and,
WHEREAS, the people have expressed a desire to insure the
continued viability of Nikiski as a residential, industrial,
commercial and recreational area offering its citizens a quality
life style.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
KENAI, ALASKA, that
Section 1: The Council supports the incorporation of
Nikiski as a Second -Class city within the boundaries defined by
the Local Boundary Commission.
Section 2: Copies of this resolution be distributed to the
Commissioner of the Department of Community and Regional Affairs.

of June, 1991.
John J. Williams, Mayor
ATTEST:
Carol L. Freas, City Clerk
(6/14/91)
The intent of this report is to give a "ball park" picture of
incorporation and to stimulate ideas and discussion concerning the
direction of local government in the Nikiski area. Any possible
combination of services, government, liabilities, and revenues may evolve
during this process.
The purpose of this process is to utilize the tax base of the Nikiski
area for the benefit of the residents in the Nikiski area. To keep local
control of existing services and to maintain the current low level of
taxes.
It is the intent to form the least intrusive form of government to
keep local autonomy. The original goal is to form a Second Class City and
then incorporate as a Home Rule City (with as few powers and costs as
possible).
The facts and figures in -this report are gathered from the Kenai
Peninsula Borough, City of Kenai, and The Department of Community and
Regional Affairs. The figures concerning the operation of the city are an
educated guess and are subject to the will of the Nikiski area residents.
Nikiski Area Report
May 30, 1991
This report is intended to put forward information on the subject of
governing options for the citizens of the Nikiski area. The purpose is to
give a basic overview on the costs and services that would result in the
formation of a city in the Nikiski area.
This report is done figuring the boundaries of the Nikiski Fire
Service Area as the boundaries for the proposed city. Using the Fire
Service Area will allow as close as comparison as possible with present
and projected costs and revenues if a city is formed.
It is to be noted that formation of a city will not have any local
impact on the Borough Mill levy. However, formation of a city will insure
local control of the three existing services: fire, recreation, and roads. It
will also assure residents that Federal and State Legislative Grants will
be utilized for the benefit of the Nikiski area.
Down sizing of the proposed area for incorporation will have an
impact both on revenues and for the expenditures for services. The
combining of the three present service areas may result in savings by the
new city.
Available to a newly incorporated city is formation funding as per
Alaska Statuates 29.05.180. This amounts to a one time grant of $50,000
for the first year and $25,000 for the second year.
Before any city may be incorporated there is a petition process to
get the question on a ballot and then voter approval from within the area
to be incorporated. Also, during this process public hearings are conducted
and the Department of Community and Regional Affairs must be in
agreement with the boundaries and needs of residents and/or any concerns
from existing municipalities effected by 8 newly created city.
There are three forms that a new city can be operated under.
Following is a brief summary of the distinctions between home rule, first
- class and second class cities within an organized borough.
Second Class Citu `
Voter approval is necessary to authorize either sales or property
taxes. The property tax levy may not exceed 5 mills (except to avoid
default on bonds). No specific services are mandated by law, however, the
city council may authorize the excercise of a wide range of services
without voter approval so long as the city can support these services
financially. The city is governed by a seven member council; the seven
elected council members decide who will be mayor. The mayor may vote on
all matters before the council. The mayor has no veto power. A second
class city may adopt a home rule charter only if it has a population of at
least 3,500 and its boundaries encompass at least 35 square miles.
First Class Citu
Voter approval to levy sales tax is required. However, the council
may levy property taxes without voter approval. The city may not levy
property taxes in excess of 30 mills (except to avoid default on bonds). No
specific services are mandated by law, however, the city council may
authorize the excercise of a wide range of services without voter approval
so long as the city can support thoses services financially. The city is _
governed by a six member council; the mayor is elected separately by the
voters. The mayor may vote on matters before the council only to break a
tie vote. The mayor has veto power. Any first class city may adopt a home
rule charter.
Home Rule
This farm of government offers the most flexibility in the needs and
desires of local residents. The powers, duties, procedures, et cetera, of a
home rule city are determined largely by a constitution (charter) approved
by the voters of that particular city. These powers can be as broad or
restrictive as the local residents wish to make them, within the
limitations set out by State law under title 29. For example, the charter
might provide that the excercise of any powers other than fire protection,
road maintenance, and recreation, must be authorized by the voters. Some
home rule governments have prohibited the levy of property taxes without
voter approval, however, it is uncertain whether such limitations are
permissible. Under current law, a home rule city may not be incorporated
directly. It may only be formed from an existing first class or second
class city.

city government there would be an increase of approximately seven
employees:
city manager
city clerk
attorney
legal secretary/deputy clerk
accountant/data processing

There would be some question on the amount of Service Area fund
balance that would be retained if "Nikiski City's" boundary ended up less
than the present fire service boundary. Also the question of debt service
for bond repayment and borough lands that would be in the proposed city
limits.

SUBJECT: FRATERNAL/CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS SIGNS AT AIRPORT TERMINAL
At the Airport Commission meeting of June 13, 1991, Commissioner

facilitate Civic/Fraternal Organization signs. Each sign must be
submitted to Airport Manager for approval, and be displayed in an
area, which shall be specified by the Airport Manager.

draft similar regulations for the Kenai Airport.
KENAI HARBOR COMMISSION
June 10, 1991
Kenai City Hall
Barry Eldridge, Chairman
1. ROLL CALL: The meeting was called to order by Chairman
Eldridge at 7:12 p.m. Commissioners present were:
Eldridge, Malmberg, Jahrig, Maguire, and Thompson. Also present
was Ad Hoc member Walker.
2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA:
Chairman Eldridge requested a City Council report from
Councilman Walker to be added as the first item under Old
Business.
3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF MARCH 11 AND MAY 6. 1991:
March 11, 1991 minutes: Page 2, change the word "dock" to
"boardwalk" under Item 9, Information.
May 6, 1991: Page 1, delete the "and" in the first line of
Breeden's motion making motion to read "ask the City
Officials to look into the appropriateness"; Page 1, change
Sweden to Swede under Old Business, Item b; and Page 2,
under New Business, Item a, change the word in the first
line from "were" to "where" to read "in Homer where Fish and
Game release fry".
Hearing no further corrections or objections to the minutes,
they stood approved as amended.
4. OLD BUSINESS:
aa. Councilman Walker addressed the Commission regarding
the Oberts property and the Beaver Creek area "no wake
zone" stating these were discussed over 8-10 months ago
before Council and the Commission. The Beaver
Creek "no wake zone" is finally going into law. Even
though the Oberts property is private, Dingle -Johnson
funds are to be used and eventually the Parks department
will take it over and operate it. He is glad the
property is being' developed after all these years and
does not see it as being in conflict with the boat
launch. Regarding Mr. Nelson's proposal for a
causeway, Council had decided to hold off and proceed
with the mooring basin; however, since then the Council
has decided to let matters lie because of costs and
ongoing studies on the river. Council has opted to
wait for the results of the studies before proceeding
further. Eldridge inquired as to why the mooring basin
did not come through the Commission and he was told it
KENAI HARBOR COMMISSION
June 10, 1991
=WM
came through the mayor and not the Council. Walker
encouraged the Commission not to let up on the matter
but to keep investigating and finding alternative
locations or approaches.
a. Blessing of the Fleet. Eldridge is now the chairman of
the Blessing of the Fleet committee for the Bi-Centennial
Committee. It is scheduled for June 23 at 2:00 p.m.
All the fishing organizations have been notified and
should be announced in their newsletters, and some boat
supply businesses have donated prizes for the event.
b. Harbormasters Conference. Thompson went over his memo
to the Commission regarding the conference. A sample
notebook and packet were at the meeting for the
Commissioners to evaluate. Two pressing items that
need to be taken care of are lining up the speakers and
finding a location for the conference. Eldridge will
line up the tours of the plants. Commissioners
discussed the tentative agenda for the conference. On
Thursday's Insurance Forum, topics 'a' through 'j'
listed in Thompson's memo under Insurance should also
be listed.
C. Fishing Hole. Walker stated he did not have the
minutes in time to take this idea before the Council;
however, he will since he believes it to be equitable idea
if there are no problems with private property in that
area.
S. NEW BUSINESS:
a. Jahrig reported the gas nozzle automatic shutoff is not
turning off automatically and causing backsplash and
stated it should be checked immediately.
b There was also discussion of diesel being pumped from
the dock into a CISPRI gas vessel. The tanks sustained
about a 30% mixture. Fortunately, the error was
discovered and relayed to the vessel before permanent
damage occurred. There are three pumps at the dock,
one is labeled diesel; however, two pumps are diesel and
one is gas.
MAGUIRE MOVED TO HAVE THE PUBLIC WORKS CHECK THE PUMPS
AND HAVE EACH FUEL PROPERLY IDENTIFIED AND FOR
THE CITY TO POST A MEMO STATING FUEL SPILLS IN THE

The removal of the automatic shutoff latch was
recommended since the shutoff latch might encourage
unattended fueling which may result is spillage.
It was also recommended to standardize the nozzles
according to the fuel the pumps contain.
C. Will Jahrig was welcomed back to the Commission.
6. CORRESPONDENCE:
Commissioners reviewed the May 13 memorandum from the
A.A.H.P.A. President. Thompson will find out what came out
of the Executive Board teleconference.
7. DISCUSSION•
a. Commission Vacancies. Loretta Breeden has resigned
and there may be another resignation soon so each
Commissioner was encouraged to solicit candidates for
the commission.
8. COMMISSION COMMENTS & QUESTIONS: None
9. INFORMATION•
Walker has been approached regarding the possibility of
damming the slough just east of Forest Drive to create a
small lake. There may be some Conservation Land and Mental
Health land involved but it is not in a wetland area. He is
going to look into the possibility since it would have more
esthetic value than a gulch and could provide fishing for
smaller children.
10. ADJOURNMENT:
The next meeting was scheduled for July 8 and the Commission
requested to have their packets in the mail before the
weekend of July 1 so they could plan on the meeting.

6. NEW BUSINESS
a. Possible Violation of Home Occupation Permit - Irene's
Lodge
Loretta Harvey, Planning Secretary said that a concerned citizen
had come into City Hall and asked that the situation would be
investigated. The citizen said that there were boats parked at
the site and campers, trailers and tents, and they wondered what
kind of permit Irene had.
RENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
Page 4
June 12, 1991
Harvey had reviewed Irene's Home Occupation permit with the
complainant and felt that under the original permit the
referenced activities were not allowed.
Howard Hackney reported that he had driven by the site and it did
not appear to be in violation. There were cars, but not an
excess of vehicles for the establishment. The boats in the yard
were parked and there was no ordinance preventing this activity.
Commissioner Rehm said that Irene's Lodge does have one trailer
in their yard that they use for overflow and they also sometime
put guests in tents.
Harvey said that the Home Occupation permit said they could only
utilize 30% of the total floor space of the residence and that
she didn't feel a trailer would be included in that space.
Commissioner Rehm he felt that the parking had never been
crowded.
Councilman Smalley said that this family also fishes and some of
the campers may be workers in their fishing operation.
Chairman Bryson asked Hackney if he felt that the Home Occupation
was being deviated from.
Hackney said no.
Commissioner Graveley said that the Commission should take into
consideration the up keep of the business. The operation is
always in good condition.
Chairman Bryson said that due to Staff report no further action
would be requested by the Commission.
b. Minimum Lot Size Waiver - Whitford's Surveying
Chairman Bryson said that the lot size created by splitting one
large lot into two, would be approximately 400 ft. under minimum
lot size in the area. Hackney had informed the surveyor that he
would need to be granted a variance. He than asked Hackney if
the proposed lots would have access to sewer and water.
Hackney replied that they would.
Chairman Bryson he felt that the owner of the property was trying
to meet the minimum requirements for lot size in this zone.
KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
Page 5
June 12, 1991
Commissioner Graveley said that it appeared there were other lots
in the area that did not meet minimum requirements.
Chairman Bryson said that these lots were created before the
zoning was enacted.
Harvey informed Commission that this item still needed to go _
through the Variance process, but was received too late to get
the proper public hearing notices out. The Surveyor was seeking
some consensus from the Commission on whether this would be
considered as a variance.
Chairman Bryson said if the City did not waive the 20,000 minimum
lot size the Borough would not grant the plat.
Harvey said she felt that the surveyor just wanted to know if the
plat would meet the criteria for a variance.
Commissioner Rehm asked if the surveyor wanted to know whether it
was worth bringing it before the Commission?
Harvey, yes.
Bryson said that it was worth the Surveyor coming before the
Commission to the extent that he was trying to accomplish the
variance before the final plat.
No consensus was reached at this time.

2. APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES
The minutes were changed to delete Linda Swarner's name from
among those present at the last meeting. A change was also made
noting that Nina Selby is Vice Chairman.
3. PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD
Peggy Mullen. Peggy Mullen from the Soldotna Advisory Parks
Committee spoke on the "Adopt -A -Park" program being used in Soldotna.
This program is in its second year and is working really well,
according to Peggy Mullen. Soldotna has no parks and recreation
_ department so this is a valuable tool in beautifying the city. The
program was started with a letter to the editor asking for volunteers
who wished to beautify a corner near where they lived. They
originally started with four corners and have seven for this year.
Ms. Mullen recommends at least three people working together for each
corner. They try to pair novice and master gardeners. The City of
Soldotna pays for the flowers and the topsoil and the volunteers
provide the labor and the watering.
If something of a similar nature were to be started in Kenai, Ms.
Mullen advised that a coordinator be named and that the program be
started in January or February. The property owner nearest the
right-of-way would need to be consulted before any planting was done.
After a lengthy discussion, it was decided by the committee that
this program be brought before Parks and Recreation this winter in
hopes of getting it started next year.
A discussion was then held on whether or not it was too late to
do anything for this year. It was felt that maybe one plot could be
done if volunteers could be found, the money for flowers was donated
and Parks and Rec furnished the dirt. Council Member Swarner
suggested that the Beautification Committee do the one plot themselves
to see how this program would work before getting anything started
involving the community.
MOTION:
Vice Chairman Selby moved to have a test corner for the
Adopt -A -Park program in Old Towne, possibly at the corner of Main and
Highland and that Parks and Rec furnish the dirt and the
Beautification Committee chip in for the flowers and furnish all the
labor. The motion was seconded by Committee Member Malmberg. A copy
of these minutes will go to the Parks and Recreation Commission for
approval.
VOTE:
Motion passed unanimously.
Richard Hultberg. Richard Hultberg spoke to the Committee on the
possible introduction of an ordinance to help keep the City cleaner.
Property owners would be sent letters asking them to clean up their
property; if they did not comply, the City would do the cleanup and
then bill the owners for the work done.
He stated that the homework could be done now, letters could be
written this winter and the ordinance then be introduced.
The question arose as to how much of the City would be cleaned in
this manner. Council Member Swarner suggested that a small area be
done first and then the boundaries could be expanded if the ordinance
was successful.
MOTION:
A motion was made by Committee Member Jackson that the
Beautification Committee strongly urge the Parks and Recreation
Commission to pursue an ordinance for the purpose of cleaning up lots
in certain City areas. The motion was seconded by Vice Chairman
Selby.
VOTE:
The motion passed unanimously.
The next meeting of the Beautification Committee will be held
June 18, 1991 at 1:30 p.m. in the Public Works Conference Room at City
Hall.
There being no further business, a motion was made by Committee
Member Jackson and seconded by Committee Member Malmberg to adjourn
the meeting. The motion passed unanimously.

As indicated to you at the June 5, 1991 Council Meeting, Clerk
Freas has researched the history of the Beautification Committee.
I requested Carol to do a complete search of the minutes to
determine the beginning and inception of the Beautification
Committee.
The documentation provided to me by Carol (which was double
checked by her) indicates that on July 7, 1982 a discussion was
heard between Tim Wisniewski and the City Council with regard to
establishing a Beautification Commission, not a committee. Mr.
Wisniewski added at the end of the discussion, "They will not be
happy with just cleaning up, they would like a budget."
The next reference to the Beautification Committee happens in the
January 19, 1983 minutes when Recreation Director McGillivray
stated, "There will be a meeting on January 24 of the
Beautification Committee." The remaining minutes checked
thoroughly through September 4, 1984 do not reveal any indication
that the City Council or the Mayor actually and officially
established any subcommittee of the Recreation Commission or any
commission or committee that is now known to be the
Beautification Committee.
The apparent implication here is that the Beautification
Committee has been a quasi -unofficial committee of citizens
nominated by themselves to serve the City of Kenai, and dependent
upon the Mayor, with approval of Council, to continue their
extensions through additional appointments throughout the years.
-1-
Unless there are other minutes after September 5, 1984 that we
are unaware of that would have made them an authorized committee,
we are dealing with a situation that includes volunteer status
without official designation.
It would appear in viewing the minutes of September 5, 1984 that
the Committee considered itself officially seated as Councilwoman
Bailie makes reference to the Committee in requesting to plant
mature trees in the downtown area. Councilwoman Bailie then goes
on with her comments by saying the Committee would like to be a
commission. However, Mayor Wagoner asked for time to review the
request.
To the best of our knowledge, committee/commission status was
never given, and the apparent implication as stated previously,
is that the Beautification Committee does not have a legal
existence with regard to official sanction by the Council or
Mayor.
I request your directive in proceed with welcome your
suggestions.

BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MEETING 3
JUNE 51 1991 '
SEARING TESTIMONY IN REGARD TO APPEAL
OF ACTIONS OF KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION
Appeal of John E. Bannock, Nu -State Nursery
ITEM A: CALL TO ORDER
Mayor John J. Williams called the hearing to order at i
approximately 7:*05 p.m. in the Council Chambers of the City of
Kenai City Hall.
ITEM B: ROLL CALL
Board of Adjustment members present were Swarner, Walker, Monfor,
Measles, McComsey, Smalley and Williams. No members were absent.
Administration members present were Attorney Graves, Acting City
Manager Brown, Clerk Freas, and Public Works Director Kornelis.
Phil Bryson, Chairman of the Planning & Zoning Commission was
also present.
The Mayor led the people present in the Pledge of Allegiance.
ITEM C: TESTIMONY PRESENTED
Mayor Williams stated to those people present that the Council
was acting as a Board of Adjustment. The Board will hear
testimony as a quasi-judicial group. An oath will be
administered by the Clerk to anyone who will be giving testimony.
Mayor Williams stated that a letter of appeal was received by Mr.
Bannock and was included in the packet of materials before the
Board. Also included was the staff report, a variance permit,
City Engineer's report, the P&Z resolution, application for the
permit, and a site plan.
JOHN E, BANNOCK - Mr. Bannock was sworn in by the Clerk. Mr.
Bannock stated that he is requesting that a variance be given at
his flower shop on Second Avenue and Forest Drive. The variance
is to allow him to build a new building 12 feet into the setback
in the place of a building which burned down. The new building
will be used as a garden supply store. The building will be
centered between the two other buildings already in place.
Mr. Bannock stated that an encroachment permit was granted for
the existing warehouse which goes 12 feet into the setback. Mr.
Bannock displayed a drawing which demonstrated the placement of
the buildings. Mr. Bannock will be removing the old flower shop
from the existing warehouse. The existing warehouse will still
extend 12 feet into the setback. Mr. Bannock wishes to bring the
new building forward 12 feet into the setback to line up with the
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT HEARING
June 5, 1991
Page 2
existing warehouse after the old flower house is removed from the
warehouse. The corner building is used for a flower shop and
residence. The flower shop will remain in that building.
Mr. Bannock's main reason for this request is to consolidate.
Mr. Bannock believes the best place to build his new building is
between the other buildings. There will be room for his delivery
truck to go between the buildings to load and unload. Also, with
the building in this place, there will be room in the back of the
building to display shrubs, etc.
The proposed new building will have a basement and first floor.
Mr. Bannock will have gas to the existing flower shop and the new
building. The warehouse will remain unheated as it will be used
for storing lime and fertilizer, etc.
Board Member McComsey asked the Clerk if there was any response
to the hearing notice from any of the adjoining property owners.
Clerk answer that all the green cards were received from the
certified letter, however, there were no comments received.
Lt. Patton, Salvation Army - Lt. Patton was sworn in by the
Clerk. Lt. Patton stated that the Salvation Army owns two lots
on the corners of Second and Fourth. The Salvation Army has no
opposition to the granting of a variance as proposed.
There were no other public comments.
Board Member Smalley referred to a question that was asked of Mr.
Bannock during testimony given to the Planning & Zoning
Commission. Smalley asked if the building could be turned
sideways to fit between the other two buildings. Then a variance
would not be needed. Mr. Bannock stated that to have the
building placed sideways would not allow much room for displaying
plants or loading and unloading of his delivery truck. Also, it
would be awkward to place the building sideways. It would not
look good.
McComsey asked if the building were placed crosswise, if there
will be room to drive a vehicle between the buildings. Mr.
Bannock answered that the space would be cut down some. Snow
removal may be difficult. After the fire, which burned the
original building in this space, he would prefer that more space
be between the buildings.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT HEARING
June 5, 1991

Williams referred to the existing house on the corner and asked
if it was not presently being used as a commercial building.
Bannock replied that it is the flower shop. It is also their
living quarters and storage.
Smalley asked Mr. Bannock if he was able to contact anyone with
regard to the stability of the existing warehouse structure and
how long it has been situated there. Mr. Bannock answered that
he had discussed this with Mr. Bookey, but Mr. Bookey was called
away and was not able to be at this meeting. However, Mr. Bookey
did not know if he was qualified to make a judgement of the
stability of the existing warehouse. Smalley asked the
approximate age of the building. Mr. Bannock answered that he
did not know. However, the building was there when they moved
here. He put a new roof on the building since moving there. The
building is very sound.
Williams stated that the Board is faced with a dilemma with this
request. The City has been working toward clearing up
encroachments in the town which have come to their attention
since the banks have been clearing up titles. The City has been
working to clear encroachments, and this will create an
encroachment.
Smalley stated that he does not see it as a problem. The
encroachment permit was granted. Mr. Bannock is asking for a
variance for the new structure. At this time the existing flower
shop (on the corner) does not encroach. The existing warehouse
does encroach. Smalley stated he does not personally have as
much of a problem allowing this variance here as in other areas.
Mr. Bannock added that it is a dead-end street. There are three
families living on that street. Bannock stated that he has been
told that there are no plans to continue the street through.
There is a large gully at the end of the street. Fourth Street
and the Spur Highway are other routes to get across the gully.
Mr. Bannock stated that when they were operating out of the old
flower shop (that burned), customers would park perpendicular to
the building and there was still room to drive down the street.
There were no further public or Board comments.
Williams stated that the Council will take the testimony and
material presented this evening into consideration. The Board
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT HEARING
June 5, 1991
Page 4
has thirty days in which to render an opinion. The Board will
study the request and confer with the attorney and will give a
written response.
Mr. Bannock urged the Board to render a decision before thirty
days due to the shortness of the building season. Williams
stated that a decision will be rendered as quickly as possible.
There is a good possibility that the process can be speeded up
and the full thirty days will not be needed.
There was no further testimony.
The Board of Adjustment hearing was closed at 7:22 p.m.

ITEM B: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT
B-1. Nate Kiel - Public Support for an Indoor Recreational
Ice Rink Facility for the City of Kenai.
Mr. Kiel introduced himself as the Head Hockey Coach at KCHS, a
volunteer KPHA coach and representing various user groups of the
ice rink. Mr. Kiel believes that there is an assessed need and
lots of perspectives for the possibility of building of an ice
rink in Kenai. There is a lack of ice time available for user
groups at the Soldotna Ice Rink.
Mr. Kiel distributed a packet of information, letters of support,
etc. to all the Council Members. Also, a packet of information
was distributed to the Mayor which included those letters of
support, plus petitions with adult signatures. At this time
there are over 400 signatures of adults (18 years or older) from
the City of Kenai on the petitions. There has been lots of
active interest from users from the Nikiski area as well. There
are nearly 100 signatures on petitions from that area. Their
petitions are still available for signature in different places
in the City.
Mr. Kiel believes that youth support should be considered as an
integral part for the decision of whether to build an ice rink or
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JUNE 5, 1991
PAGE 3
not. All age levels of students are interested in having another
activity place in the winter. He has received signatures from
250 students from four to five Kenai area schools.
Mr. Kiel stated that the public concern is the size and cost of
this type of project. There opinion is that the facility should
be a facility somewhat smaller in respect to the Sports Center
and less cost. Approximately $2 million.
Mr. Kiel stated that the City is well on its way to receiving
support of this type of project. Mr. Kiel stated that the
packets include letters of endorsement from the Denali Figure
Skating Club, Boy's & Girl's Club, Morris Redford/MicMac Club,
Rusty Blades, High School Booster Clubs (4), etc. Also, Mr. Kiel
read a resolution in support of the project from the KPHA.
Mr. Kiel stated that ice time now has children skating at 5:30
a.m. This is very hard_for participation for the Nikiski area.
Mr. Kiel stated that the KPHA has done a study which shows how
their Thanksgiving Tournament affects the area's income. Mr.
Kiel believes that this type of project will make a profit. Mr.
Kiel and those he represents are asking the Council to
investigate and devise a plan of action and make it available to
the public and to work with them (user groups) to build such a
facility.
Smalley asked how much money the KPHA study states was brought
into the area. Mr. Kiel estimated it in excess of $100,000 which
is from motels, food, tournament fees. They turn down teams for
the tournament due to lack of ice.
Williams stated that some members of the Council and public have
been looking into the possibility of building such a facility for
some time. They are very concerned about the cost. There are
grant monies sometimes available, however they are hard to be
awarded. One possibility is to split the cost of such a facility
with Nikiski or the Borough and maybe the State with the City of
Kenai. The City of Kenai may be able then to furnish the real
estate. If the facility would cost $1.75 million, a one mill
increase in property tax may have to be assessed. The budget
will be affected if the mill rate is increased. This would
increase the tax on a home about $100 per year. A bond
proposition will need to go before the voters. The voters will
have to be convinced that the facility will benefit the whole
community. Williams stated that he is waiting on information
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JONE 5, 1991
PAGE 4
from Holmsten Ice Rinks regarding costs. and types of rinks.
Williams believes that a preliminary cost may be $2.75 million.
Monfor asked when a resolution, etc. needs to be passed to put a
proposition before the voters in October. Williams stated that
the bond attorneys need to be consulted as to how much time it
will take. He is trying to set up a meeting now regarding a
revenue bond.
Monfor requested information for the last meeting in July.
Williams stated that the question needs to be answered, whether
they feel a bond issue will be successful or approachable. It
may take one to -three years to get grant monies. If a bond issue
is passed, a facility could be built and in use by next fall.
Williams stated.that bond issues in the City of Kenai have been
hazardous.
Smalley stated that according to the information of the income to
the City of Soldotna from one tournament, the City could yield
one-half million dollars from five tournaments. The business
community could make quite a profit from such a facility. At a
call of hands, it was approximated that 40 people in the audience
were in support of such a facility.
Carla Shervanick - Stated there would be a savings in gas to get
to practice. Also, a savings of approximately $300 per weekend
from not traveling to Anchorage for tournaments.
Williams suggested that if a bond was received, there would be an
increase in the tax rate. If the revenue exceeds the operating
costs, the bond may be retired early.
Walker asked the audience if anyone was not willing to pay an
increased 1.5 mills in tax. There were no hands. Walker
suggested to continue forward with the investigation.
Mark Hall - Stated he has six children playing hockey. His
family spends a great deal of time at the Sports Arena in the
winter. One of his sons received a scholarship to play hockey.
Williams stated again that the preparation of a bond question for
the October election will be investigated. There were no
objections from the Council.
Monfor suggested raising the sales tax by $.01 so that anyone
shopping in Kenai would be paying for the facility, not just
property owners. Williams stated that he believed a one cent
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JUNE $, 1991
PAGE 5
increase in sales tax would pay for the building in three years.
An increase in sales tax does not have to be brought to the
voters, it can be done by Council. Measles reminded Council that
the increase in.sales tax does not need voter approval, however,
an expenditure of $1 million to build the building will need
voter approval. Williams stated that this proposed facility
would be built on City -owned property.
Williams stated that they will investigate whether the City can
support a one cent sales tax increase or would it rather bond
with an increase in the mill rate. Kiel stated he is concerned
with the question of raising the mill rate. The history of bond
issues with the voters has not been good. Kiel asked if a
combination of funding is possible. Williams stated that it may
be possible to propose a one cent sales tax increase and
retire that increase when the debt is paid. Then it may be
possible to go to the legislature and give one-half a mill to the
- project. They may fund it if it is done on an area -wide basis.
There are a number of ways to put the package together.
Kathy Heus - She suggested that the Council not vote on the
proposal at this time. Williams stated that the issue will have
to go before the voters. The Council will not make this decision
other than deciding to put it on the ballot.
Lt. Patton, Salvation Army - Stated his opposition to a one cent
sales tax increase for three years. Patton stated that there are
over 443 cases of poverty in the community. A one cent increase
in sales tax would impact those people very badly. This increase
may not be the most beneficial way to handle the project.
Gentleman from audience - Asked if the Bicentennial building went
before the voters on a ballot. Williams answered no. It was not
necessary as the funding is grant money.
Gloria Blume - Stated her support of the project. Ms. Blume
stated that there are many children in the area that benefit
greatly from being involved in the KPHA program. More than words
can express. The motive of the project should be to help
children.
Williams asked the Council if they wished to explore the bond
issue and/or sales tax issue. Answer: Yes.

Monfor asked that it be brought back to Council at a time
specific. Williams offered that in order to have time to contact
the bond attorneys, etc. he suggests waiting to the last meeting
in July or the first meeting in August.
BREAK: 8:20 p.m.
BACK TO ORDER: 8:30 p.m.
B-2. Jack Brown - Request for Resolution of Support or
Letter of Non -Opposition to Nikiski Incorporation as a
First/Second Class City.
Assemblyman Hodgins spoke to the Council. Assemblyman Superman
was in the audience. Hodgins stated that they were requesting a
letter of non -objection or resolution of support/non-objection to
the Nikiski incorporation as a second-class city. A draft
resolution was included in the packet. It is part of the
Community and Regional Affairs process to have letters of non-
objection/resolutions from neighboring communities. They will be
traveling to Tyonek and Beluga Bay to request the same.
They wish to form a second-class city/home-rule city. In order
to be a first-class city, they first must be a second-class city.
They intend to form the least obtrusive government as possible.
The catalyst for incorporating is the Borough's investigation to
dissolve road service areas and forming one service area. They
feel that would take away local control and they would not get
value of their tax dollars. The Borough is also investigating
the dissolutionment of fire service areas. Their city would
retain only the road, fire and recreation areas. Boundaries have
been discussed. At this time they are considering taking in the
fire service on the Tyonek side and Nikiski area, approximately
600 square miles of land. Their biggest hoop is the Nikiski
residents. A generic budget and narrative were included in the
packet.
Hodgins stated further that no specific services are needed to
form as a second class city. They are starting with fire, roads
and recreation. Other services will come as needed. The only
municipality affected by their incorporation will be the Borough.
This proposed resolution has not been brought before the Borough
as yet. Mayor Gilman is to bring a resolution forward to the
Assembly.
Williams asked if the Borough will try to make up any loss of
municipal assistance from the State by increasing taxes. Hodgins
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JUNE 5, 1991
PAGE 7
stated that he has discussed this with the Borough Finance
Director. He was told that it would be cheaper for the Borough
to not have to deal with these services.
Hodgins stated that a committee of their Community Council is
investigating this proposal. The biggest problem will be
designating the boundaries. Hodgins is not aware of the
percentage of the support of the Nikiski residents. This has not
been discussed officially with the North Peninsula Chamber of
Commerce. The Kenai City Council is the first body with whom
this proposal has been discussed.
Williams requested that the City administration discuss the tax
base change and how it will affect the Borough, City of Kenai,
and Nikiski. Also, a resolution should be brought to Council at
the next meeting. The consensus of Council was affirmative.
Assembly members Hodgins and Superman are to be contacted for the
June 19, 1991 meeting.
B-3. Livingston/Slone - Kenai Congregate Housing Project.
Kornelis stated that the drawings were discussed today with
Livingston/Slone representatives. Decisions need to be made
regarding the amount of the building Council wishes to include in
the bid. Their schedule for advertising the bid is to begin June
17 and bid opening will be July 17. Because not all the money
requested from the State was awarded, this decision of how much
to build needs to be addressed.
Kornelis stated that the project has been set up to bid for
twenty units with common areas and an additive alternate for
twenty additional units. Kornelis needs direction as to how the
bidding documents should be done.
Joe Aback, Livingston/Slone - Mr. Abeck discussed the different
alternates, etc. in relation to the amount of money available
with the Council (a sheet of information was distributed to
Council). Mr. Abeck gave suggestions as to how the building
could be bid as money is available:
1. Build twenty units and a shell for additional twenty
units = $900,000.
2. Construction additional six units and enclose the
remaining fourteen units. This is a little over the allowed
amount of funds and additional fundings available.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JUNE st 1991
PAGE 8
3. Make 26 units. This amount of units was selected
because of the design of the building. The building of more
units, but not the total twenty, would involve more complicated
changes to the drawings.
The information also gave a breakdown on how the funds will be
used. The original amount is $3.8 million. Mr. Abeck gave some
ramifications of building an empty shell or completing the
project. If the shell is built, heating will be required,
insulation, structural requirements, minimum lighting, and
sprinklers. There are code issues that will need to be addressed
also. Also security, insurance and electricity costs will need
to be added.
Design fees to build 26 units will change. Additional time (one-
two weeks) to adjust the drawings with Alternate One, the
additional six units and Alternate Two, an additional 14 units.
An additional $10,000 will be required.
Monfor stated that either they build the project, or do not build
the project. Monfor stated to take a chance and bid the whole
project like they desire. Bid for thirty units with an alternate
of 10 units. Twenty units does not take care of the needs.
Smalley agreed. Williams stated that he likes the twenty units
and six for the alternate and a shell. This puts the project at
the amount of money available. If money comes in 20% under the
bidder's estimates, there may be extra money.
Measles stated that if the bid goes out for the forty units, they
do not lose anything but time. Measles stated to go with what
they have. Do not spend anymore money. Williams stated that no
one really knows what the bid will look like. Measles stated to
bid it and find out. Williams suggested that the bid can be
thrown out and rebid. Measles stated that if they are not happy
with the bid, they can then spend the $10,000 and change the
drawings.
Swarner asked how much it will cost the City to put the project
to bid. Kornelis answered approximately $2,000 (cost of
drawings, advertisements, etc.) Abeck stated that if the bids
are thrown out, it may delay a construction season. Williams
stated that if the bid comes up short $600,000-700,000, it can be
dealt with later.
Kornelis stated that now they have a basic bid and Additive
Alternate No. 1 of twenty additional units. Other additive
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JUNE so 1991
PAGE 9
alternates can be the front slab heating coils, canopy, delay
work on the patio ramp and reduce the parking lot. Measles
restated that one bid should go out and see what happens.
Kornelis stated that was not the way the package originally was
going to be bid. The bid may be more with regard to flat rate
and item -for -item for each individual apartment.
MOTION:
Councilman Measles MOVED to go out to bid with the design they
have in place and see where it goes from there. Councilwoman
Monfor SECONDED the motion. Measles added one bid, total
package.
Williams asked if the additive alternate Kornelis discussed
previously regarding the parking lot paving, heat deck, etc. was
5-10% of the project. Kornelis stated that they are required to
have one parking space per unit. He does not know if there will
be enough money to pave the whole parking lot.
Williams stated that his point is if they separate out the
structure from the additive alternate, they can look at what
those additive alternates are.

Councilwoman Monfor requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. (One package,
one bid, 100%.)

Comments from the general public:
Lt. Patton, Salvation Army - The newspaper states that the budget
does not address social needs. He is representing the people of
low income of the Kenai area. The Senior Housing project is a
social concern. Ordinance 1440-91 regarding the Council on Aging
is a social concern. Patton stated that with the increase demand
on social agencies, the City of Kenai needs to address their
involvement. Social agencies can better apply for grant funding
if they have a governmental group involved. The needy pay a
large amount of sales tax and income tax. A percent of the
budget should be addressed to getting grants to funnel into
social agencies. A city government has more leverage to get
grants.
Williams stated that the Senior Citizen Center receives funding
through pass -through grants. All their monies are pass -through
grants. Patton asked if the City would be available to get grant
monies for other social agencies in the community. Williams
stated that there are more resources than the City of Kenai.
Patton stated that was true, however, a large portion of the
budget comes from sales tax. The poor pay a large amount of that
sales tax.
Gerry Sparks, Beautification Committee - Gave an update on the
Memorial Park, stating that there are number of spaces to be
purchased or have been purchased, leaving only two -three
available for purchase. More spaces and more sidewalks need to
be placed in the park.
Kathy Heus - Ms. Heus is the chairperson of the Library
Commission. Ms. Heus requested amendments to the budget to allow
Sunday openings at the library and a change in the salary of one
of the workers to be paid more when the librarian is out of the
building. She supports both requests. If the Council cannot
work this into this year's budget, she suggests they investigate
it further for another time. The service of the library is not
always in numbers. The library is of extreme importance to the
community. She hopes that the Council will support the need for
Sunday openings and the part-time position needed to have those
openings. Also, please support the upgrade of the personnel.
Carol Brenckle - She is a member of the Library Commission, a
Kenai resident, and business -owner in Kenai. Brenckle spoke in
support of the Sunday openings for the library, the addition of a
part-time person to work on Sundays and the upgrade in personnel.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES

Brenckle urged the Council to take a position of leadership. The
Kenai library has much respect in the community and is used by
people from other communities in the area. Brenckle urged
Council to give support to Emily.

one Library employee. Councilwoman Monfor SECONDED the motion.
Councilwoman Swarner asked Finance Director Brown if there is
another department in the City where all other pay ranges are the
same and how is an acting supervisor designated. Brown stated
that there is not a similar situation with all other people in
one range.
Walker stated that it is similar in the Fire Department and
Police Department. Walker stated that this was discussed at a
work session and that there are similar problems elsewhere.
Brown stated that dispatch has a supervisor at a Range 11, who is
not a department head. When that supervisor is out of the
building all the people left in dispatch are one range. Walker
asked if the case is similar, would not any person left "in
charge" also be able to claim this type of increase in order to
be fair. Brown stated that they can ask. If a supervisor leaves
the building for a few hours, the supervisor can appoint one of
the remaining (who are the same range) to be "in charge."
Swarner stated that the Library has one department head and
everyone else is one pay range. No department head should have
to be working six days a week.
Measles asked what happens when the librarian has
is on vacation. Brown answered that the librarian

General Public comments:
Dr. Jack Moran - Stated his support for the Sunday openings.
Moran believes it is foolish not to have the Sunday opening.
No further public comments.
Swarner urged support of the amendment stating that the Sunday
openings will benefit the whole community, unlike the sidewalks
in Memorial Park. Smalley urged support of the amendment stating
he uses the library both personally and professionally. It is a
nice quiet place to go. Tourists use it and would be using it on
Sundays also.
Measles stated that he will vote against the amendment. Measles
stated two reasons for this decision: (1) if the library is not
open on Sundays, those people know to use it another day. (2)
If the City Hall would be open on Sundays, people would use it
too. The point is diminished return for services supplied.

Monfor referred to the letter from the Bicentennial Visitors and
Convention Bureau requesting a grant of $10,000 to be used for
preparing and placing advertising before September in order that
they be included in spring publications. Williams reminded
Council that at the work session where this was discussed, it was
proposed that the City continue the assistance to the
Bicentennial to January 1, 1992, coupled with introducing a bed
tax on June 19 with sunset language to be included by January,
1992. Monfor added that this request needs to be addressed in
order that the advertising be done by September.
Sue Carter, Executive Director of the KBVCC stated that the
budget distributed to Council this evening, was requested by
Mayor Williams. Carter stated that in order that advertising
appears in spring publications, the purchase of the advertising
must be done by September. They are requesting $10,000 in order
to do this. The KBVCC will be more than matching that amount.

Carter answered yes, along with other fund raising and grants for
which they are applying, the money will get them through until

Walker asked if a lot of advertising must be in place by October
1. Carter answered yes. Walker asked if monies were in the

years is up in May or June of this year. He requested an

plus some of the spouses. Airfare is estimated to be about
$1,500. In return, fifteen representatives of Okha will travel
to Alaska and will pay for their own airfare. Housing here will
be in private homes, etc. Swarner asked if the cost would be up
to $10,000. Williams stated no, cost should be more in the
neighborhood of $5,500-$6,000. Williams stated that he received
information from Marathon that VECO will help to defray some of
the costs.

the meeting.
D-2. Airport Commission
Airport Manager Ernst stated that there was no meeting since the
last council meeting. The next meeting is scheduled for June 13.
Williams stated that the T-33 is inside the hangar. VECO has
stated they will build a pedestal if they can get 13-5/8" casing.
Councilman Walker offered 13-3/8" casing and the transportation
to the VECO shop.
Williams also stated that there are two applications in the
packet for appointment to the Commission. Those people are Artha
(Bonnie) Koerber, representing the car rental agencies and Bob
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES

Scott from Salamatof Seafoods. Both are users of the airport.
Williams asked concurrence of the Council. Swarner asked that
Ms. Koerber complete the normal application.

objections to the motion. 80 ORDERED.
D-3. Harbor Commission
Walker stated there was no meeting since the last council
meeting. The next meeting is set for June 10, 1991. The
resignation of Loretta Breeden from the Harbor Commission and
Kenai River Management Board was included in the packet.
Williams stated that he has spoken to Will Jahrig to rejoin the
Commission in Ms. Breede_n's place. Jahrig has stated he will
return.
Swarner stated that Jahrig had a previous problem with
attendance. Walker stated that his absences were due to a
business contract in Seward. That project is completed. Walker
supports his appointment. It was noted that there is still one
opening on the Commission.
There were no objections to the appointment of Jahrig to the
Commission.
Williams brought Council's attention to information added to the
agenda at I-1, Mayor's Report consisting of a letter from
Petratrovich, Nottingham & Drage regarding the boat launch.
Williams stated that he had a discussion with Mr. Gunderson
(writer of the letter) about the facility. Gunderson stated that
he has met with the intergovernmental agencies. Gunderson's
letter states that the design would be permissible if three tasks
are accomplished: 1) quantify demand; 2) establish that this is
the best site; and 3) complete an environmental assessment to
answer agency questions prior to submitting the Corps permit
application.
The approximate cost for this is $80,000. Williams added that if
they spend the $80,000, the permit still may not be approved.
Walker stated that he is a proponent of the boat launch. Walker
suggested a note be attached that Petratrovich would get paid if
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JUNE 5, 1991
PAGE 23
the permit is approved. Walker added he is not prepared to pay
$80,000. The question needs further study. Smalley and Monfor
concurred.
McComsey asked if administration could do anything. Williams
stated that at the intergovernmental meeting, which City
representatives attended, the City was viewed as an adversary.
Williams stated that the legislature has appropriated $100,000
for a study to determine whether the Kenai River has reached the
maximum use factor. Also the drift fishery and amount of motored
boats/guides may make a difference. Williams suggested that
perhaps Council should wait until the study is completed. The
City should have a representative on the Kenai River Management
Board to track the study.
The closing of Cunningham Park was discussed briefly. Williams
stated that if they close Cunningham Park, they may not be able
to reopen it. Walker suggested that maybe it should be closed
before someone gets seriously hurt.
Williams suggested again that the project be put on the shelf for
now and get a representative on the KRMB. Monfor stated that the
representative needs to be someone that is a strong proponent.
D-4. Library Commission
Monfor stated that the summer reading program will begin June 10.
There will be no Sunday hours.
D-5. Parks & Recreation Commission
McComsey stated there was no report. There was no meeting since
the last council meeting. McGillivray stated that the ARCO/Jesse
Owens Games were scheduled for June 29 at KCHS. The summer
recreation program will also start June 10. This weekend there
will be a men/women's softball tournament with 22 teams
participating.
Monfor reported to McGillivray and Police Chief Ross that there
are tent campers in the Forest Drive Park and on the FAA field.
McGillivray stated that some of the campers on the FAA field are
for a Native sobriety celebration. McGillivray added that his
employees have been picking up the trash at the park. The park
was checked on Monday and there were no tents. Ross stated that
they are running them out at night and giving them maps to show
them where they may camp. Walker stated that some of those on

the FAA field are not from the celebration group. Ross stated
that they are running campers off City property. Those campers
are not on City property.
Williams stated that Clerk Freas has researched the history of
the Beautification Committee. He will address this at the next
meeting. Swarner added that there was a resignation of one
member and an application for Sally Bailie was included in the
packet. Williams stated he will address that at the next
meeting.
D-6. Planning & Zoning Commission
Smalley reported that the meeting minutes were included in the
packet. Minutes from the previous meeting were distributed at
the beginning of the meeting. Pages 4, 5, and 6 include
information regarding the topic of the Board of Adjustment
Hearing held earlier this evening. Smalley referred to the name
changes on Ryan's Drive and Senior Drive.
Smalley stated that the Commission wants to know if existing RV
parks are legal to allow tent camping. Williams stated that this
should be addressed as there is a need. Williams added that he
is not aware if a recent look has been taken to designate
potential areas for tent camping or whether the City should
establish a very rough area designated as tent camping.
Monfor suggested that Parks & Recreation make it a discussion
item at their next meeting. It was stated that the Parks &
Recreation will not be meeting through the summer. However,
McGillivray stated that they will meet if there is an item to
discuss. Williams asked Attorney Graves to review the Code to
see if the RV parks can lawfully have tent camping.
Administrative Assistant Howard was requested to produce a map
for Planning & Zoning and Parks & Recreation showing City lands
now in use and rough unused lands. The Commissions can then
propose a designated tent camping area. Monfor stated that if an
area is found to be appropriate, toilet and refuse facilities
need to be included. Costs need to be estimated.
Williams stated that an application has been received from Sally
Bailie for placement on the Beautification Committee. There were
no objections to Ms. Bailie's placement on the Beautification
Committee.

REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION:
Williams suggested bringing more information to the next meeting
and discussing it again at that time. Councilman McComsey
requested reconsideration for the next council meeting. Williams
asked Mr. Oberts and Mr. Meeks (who were in the audience) to
check into the history of Ryan's Drive.
Councilman Smalley stated that action is needed prior to June 12
or it will become law. Williams stated that if Council does
nothing, the street will be known as Spur View Drive. Williams
stated that the motion failed. Kornelis pointed out that
everything failed. Williams stated that there is a request for
reconsideration with no time specific. Perhaps time specific
needs to be discussed.
It was discovered that McComsey was on the affirmative side of
the vote and therefore cannot request reconsideration.
REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION:
Councilman Walker requested reconsideration.
MOTION:
Councilman McComsey MOVED to separate the issues and Councilman
Smalley SECONDED the motion. There were no objections.
MOTION:
Councilman McComsey MOVED to vacate the public utility easement.
Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. Councilman Walker
offered a friendly amendment to add the change of Senior Drive to
Senior Court. McComsey asked that to be made part of the
original motion. The second agreed. There were no objections.

Councilwoman Monfor (telephoned for more information on the
history of Ryan's Drive) was not able to receive further
information on the history. Smalley asked if the issues were
separated, will the change of the Ryan's Drive portion go to the
three -three decision with the reconsideration at the next
meeting? Williams suggested voting on it to see if it would
pass this time.
Williams asked if there is any objection to changing the name
from Ryan's Drive to Spur View Drive? There were three
objections. Williams requested the Clerk to call the roll on the
motion to change the name of Ryan's Drive to Spur View Drive.
VOTE:

Williams stated that a request for reconsideration can be
requested from the winning side. Walker stated that it is a moot
point that if this is not voted on, it will become law before
their next meeting. There were no requests.
Administration was directed to write a letter to the Borough
stating that the Council did not object to change the name of
Senior Drive to Senior Court, but that the Council voted not to
change the name from Ryan's Drive to Spur View Drive.

property between the Coyle property and the airline warehouse
property. This is the portion requested to be vacated. Kornelis

stated that it comes very close to the City property. Williams
stated that he is against the vacation of this easement.
Williams stated that the future need for access is unknown.
Walker stated that it appears that a piece of the properties will
be landlocked if the easement is vacated. Williams stated that
historically, the only time to vacate a section line easement is
when the easement does not lead anywhere. Smalley stated he was
referring to the staff report. McComsey stated that it appears
access at that corner would be terrible. Williams agreed that
could be true, however, future needs are not known at this time.
McComsey suggested leaving the easement in place.

H-8. Approval - Change Orders on Visitors Center
H-8a. Change Order No. 1 - $2,543.00
MOTION:
Councilwoman Monfor MOVED for approval of Change Order No. 1 in
the amount of $2,543.00 for the cost of adding 1/2" of concrete
to all areas that have hydronic heating at the Bicentennial
building. Councilman McComsey SECONDED the motion for discussion
purposes.
Williams stated that an error was made by the engineer when
calculating the amount of concrete needed. The engineer
calculated for an amount to cover the wrong size heating pipe.
Swarner asked who is the mechanical engineer who did this portion
of the design work. Bill Nelson (in the audience) stated he did
not know.
Williams stated that the floor should be thicker. Swarner stated
that it was the engineer that did not make the right calculation.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JUNE 51 1991
PAGE 30
The engineer should be paying for the extra cost. Swarner added
that she does not want to see a change order when it was the
engineer's error.
Walker stated he is concerned about the amount of the contingency
will be used by these two change orders. Walker does not support
the change order.
Kornelis stated that this is not a contractor's error. If the
concrete was stated in the bid specifications to be 1/2" thicker,
the contractor would have bid more money for that portion of the
bid. Even if Council decides to obtain these extra monies from
the engineer, the full amount of the money will not be able to be
obtained. This amount has nothing to do with the engineer.
Bill Nelson stated that he was not at the meeting because of this
issue, however, he has spoken with the architect. Nelson stated
that it is not a question of whether the floor will work or not
without the extra 1/2" of concrete. However, it is increasing
the margin of safety. The amount of concrete has been decided on
by trial and error in the industry. These types of radiant heat
systems are tried and true, but are not used in 90% of
construction. The architect is recommending to increase the
City's margin of safety by adding the concrete.
Smalley stated that this should have been considered at the time
of bid. Williams stated that the engineer did not know the
difference between OD and ID pipe. With this type of heating
system, if the concrete is too thin, the floor will crack.
Walker stated that he agrees the concrete needs to be there, but
the cost should come out of the engineer's pocket. Walker does
not support paying this. Williams stated that they are walking
into a trap. The contractor needs to pour concrete and needs to
be paid for his work.
Smalley agrees with Walker. Smalley suggested pouring the
concrete and sending a letter to the engineer demanding payment
for extra costs. Kornelis stated that he is not sure it is the
engineer's fault.

Councilman McComsey SECONDED the motion.
Swarner asked who requested the change and why was it not done at
the time of the bid. Williams stated that Kluge requested it
because there is more maintenance to caring for the chrome.
Bronze does not require the polishing. Also the bronze would be
more in keeping with the historic elements of the facility.
Williams recommended the change.
Walker stated his disagreement that chrome does not take more
maintenance. Walker objected to the change order. Williams
stated that he will vote in support of the change order. He does
not like chrome. McComsey asked if there is a difference in
price. Answer yes. Swarner stated the engineers/architect need
to know they are not happy with the change orders, or they will
keep spending the money.

ITEM I: ADMINISTRATION REPORTS
I-1. Mayor
a. Court House - Williams reported that a meeting is trying
to be set up for June 24 in regard to the Court House. Topics to
be discussed at the meeting will include a list of items needing
to be done such as letters of intent, etc. Rep. Navarre has
assured Williams that he will not object to the project.
Williams discussed the matter with Senator Fischer. Williams
does not believe Rep. Phillips has any problems with the project
either. The Court System is anxious to fast track the project.
b. Congregate Housing - Williams reported that a meeting
is being set up between Lt. Gov. Coghill, Bill Overstreet, and
Jack Brown. Williams was invited to go along, however, he has
spoken with Coghill already and has sent letters to Commissioners
Keller and Stastny, which were included in the packet. Williams
has spoken with Rep. Zawacki who stated that he has spoken with
the Governor in regard to this project. Also, Representatives
Phillips and Navarre, and Senator Fischer has spoken with the
Governor regarding this subject.
I-2. City Manager
No report.
I-3. Attorney
Graves reported on the progress of the Ferguson lease suit. This
lease states that after five years, the lease rate needs to be
negotiated. The City has been told by the Supreme Court to
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JUNE 5, 1991
PAGE 34
negotiate. The Court suggested that the City enter into non-
binding arbitration to get both sides off dead center before
going back to the court system. Graves suggests using Dane Clark
from the college. This property is the Roger's Tesoro filling
station. The suit began in 1985 when Ferguson failed to
negotiate. The*suit has evolved from there.
McComsey asked why Ferguson is continuing the suit as it must be
costing quite a bit of money. Graves stated he was not aware why
he continues with the suit. Walker stated he objected to the
arbitration of the lease. If this lease is negotiated, it would
be a violation of the Code. Graves explained that this lease is
very old and it did not contain the same information as the newer
leases.

Brown referred to his memorandum which was included in the packet
regarding health and life insurance. The City of Kenai solicited
proposals for employee health and life insurance. One legitimate
health insurance proposal was received. That was Blue Cross, who
is the current insurer. Three life insurance proposals were
received. Blue Cross had several different health care
scenarios. If there are no objections from Council, he would
like to participate in the Best Care program. Brown stated that
he surveyed the employees and discussed the different scenarios
with them. The survey information was included in the packet
showing that the employees were in favor of the Best Care
program.
Williams stated that there has been considerable amount of
discussion in regard to the City's insurance by the insurance
community. It is hard to get quotes from other companies. A
disadvantage takes place when insurance companies can be blocked
out. Williams stated that he hopes that next year the
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JUNE 5t 1991
PAGE 35
administration will come up with ideas and gather ideas from
brokers with better ways of doing this. There is no room for
competition in the insurance business.
Brown stated that the City went to bid for selection of property
and liability insurance. Administration does not want to do this
with health insurance. Employees want to know what they are
getting. With broker selection, you cannot do that. One is an
employee benefit, the other is not.
MOTION:
Councilwoman Swarner MOVED for the City to participate with the
Blue Cross Best Care Plan for Fiscal Year 91-92 and Councilwoman
Monfor SECONDED the motion. Councilwoman Swarner requested
UNANIMOUS CONSENT.
Williams objected to unanimous consent, and stated that he should
probably abstain from voting as well. Williams stated that he is
concerned over the spectrum of things. There are many things he
does not understand about the insurance business. However, he
has been approached by the local insurance community stating they
are not being given an equal opportunity to bid. Williams stated
we will abstain from voting and asked for a roll call vote.
Smalley asked if the reason for abstention is because of a
conflict. Graves stated that under the Code, a reason must be
given for an abstention. Williams stated that quite a bit of the
complaints he has received (not all of the complaints) have come
from Last Frontier Insurance Company where his son-in-law is an
employee and who has been working on this policy. For that
reason, Williams stated he would abstain from voting because he
did not want to vote on something that his view may have been
skewed.

Brown also reported on the memorandum distributed this evening
from him to City Manager Brighton regarding a request received
from Jesse Wade. Mr. Wade has requested that the City allow him
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JUNE 5o 1991
PAGE 36
to make surface improvements (seeding, grading, etc.) to the
property in front of the NAPA building on the Spur Highway. Mr.
Wade's letter was attached to the memorandum.
Brown stated that if they can make an agreement, he has no
problem with the request. Swarner asked who would mow the grass.
Brown stated he would make that part of the agreement.
MOTION:
Councilman Smalley MOVED to go into an agreement with Jesse Wade
under the auspices that Brown gave and Councilman McComsey
SECONDED the motion.
Williams remembered that Dr. Hansen wanted to do that on a right-
of-way. Kornelis stated that the City did it. Further, that
Hansen asked to do it, and the Council approved it and the City
did it.

Swarner asked Ernst how many slips in the Float Plane Basin were
rented. Ernst answered there are five commercial slips and all
are rented. There are six of 25 private slips rented.
Williams referred to Ernst's memorandum in the packet in regard
to the parking at the airport. Walker stated that he has
reviewed the Code and does not agree with it. He would like the
word "private" removed from the fifth line of Chapter 6.05.010(c)
of the Airport Regulations. The sentence would then read, "The
loading only area on the Terminal side of the loop is restricted
to [PRIVATE] vehicle parking for periods of time as designated by
the Airport Manager." Walker also requested that all the "No
Commercial Vehicle" signs be removed.
It was suggested that an ordinance be brought forward at the
June 19, 1991 meeting.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JUNE 5, 1991
PAGE 37
Monfor stated that she does not have a problem with removing some
of the commercial vehicle signs, but has a problem with removing
all of them. Williams stated that he has no problem with
changing the Code. However, he believes an ordinance should be
brought forward so that it is a decision of the Council in
general, not one single request.
Ernst stated that the Council could make this decision by motion.
It is not necessary to do an ordinance for the Airport
Regulations.
Williams clarified that the "No Commercial Vehicle" signs on the
curb side, adjacent to the building, be removed, pending a vote
of the Council on the ordinance request at the next meeting.
Monfor stated that she wanted to study this request.
ITEM J: DISCUSSION
J-1. Citizens
M. Targonsky - Thanked Council for the decision on their appeal.
However, he was disappointed in it. Targonsky thanked
Councilwoman Swarner for her comments. The parking issue was not
addressed. Targonsky stated that there is an ordinance in the
Code stating that parking spaces must be provided. There is no
information regarding parking on Peloza's application. There is
no map showing where parking will be. Targonsky stated that
people are not parking on the Carpenter property. Targonsky
requested that the City Manager have the permit recalled by
Planning & Zoning because of the parking problem.
Williams stated that the City does not have a problem with the
parking. The City cannot go on Peloza's property without
crossing church property, which is private property. There is no
access to the Carpenter property. Targonsky gave permission for
the City to cross the church property. Williams stated that the
question of access should be resolved first.
Emily DeForest - Stated her concern that she called the ambulance
over the weekend and when they reached the hospital, she found
that both Kenai ambulances were at the hospital. This left Kenai
without an ambulance. She stated that this is very unnerving.
A mutual aide agreement was suggested. Chief Burnett stated that
if a call comes in and both ambulances are out, off -duty people
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JUNE 5, 1991
PAGE 38
will be called and will respond. Burnett does not know how a
mutual aide agreement for ambulance service could work. If there
was one with Nikiski and Nikiski was called out, one of the
City's ambulances would go to Nikiski. The City's other
ambulance could be called out and Kenai again would not have an
ambulance available. Burnett suggested that the only way to
handle would be to hire more personnel and purchase another
ambulance.
DeForest stated that she knows that is not possible. Burnett
suggested using the third ambulance now used for a crash car for
the airport be used again if needed. Then it would no longer be
used as a crash car. Williams suggested an ambulance fee.
DeForest stated that she knows of nowhere else there is not an
ambulance fee.

Smalley - He will be out of town from June 30 to July 10. He
will be in Miami where there is a 14% bed tax. He will miss the
July 3, 1991 meeting.
Smalley also referred to the letter of thanks from Ms. Sue Mauer,
Government teacher at KCHS in which she thanked the Council and
Clerk for Government Day. The students really enjoyed it and
were very enthusiastic.

Smalley stated that he was very disappointed in the library
budget amendments failing. There is an employee working as
administrative personnel and should be compensated for it. The
library is one of the finest in the State.
Swarner would like to see a report or list of departments that
have a situation like the library and the dollar amount needed to
change those situations, i.e. someone acting in a supervisory
position when their supervisor is out of the building and that
person is the same range as the other left in the building.
Brown stated that Ross already made that request. Swarner stated
she would like to see the list. Brown stated that the Rec Center
may have a situation like that.

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF KENA' C -
TO: William J. Brighton, City Manager
FROM: Howard Hackney, Building Official
DATE: June 13, 1991
SUBJECT: Who's Ryan?
FOR: Council meeting of June 19, 1991
210 Fidalgo Avenue
Kenai, Alaska 99611
TELEPHONE 283-7535
FAX 907-283-3014
I talked to the surveyor who drew up the plat for Spur Subdivision,
No. 4, where the Uptown Motel is located. The preliminary plat
designated the street in front of the Uptown Motel, from the Spur
Highway to Frontage Road, as "Spur View Drive". The street from
Frontage Road to the Senior Center area was also designated "Spur
View Drive."
When Mr. Aase obtained a building permit,. he was given an address
of 47 Spur View Drive on the basis of this plat which was all we
had to go on at that time. Mr. Schilling now owns the motel and
naturally has used the same address. 47 Spur View Drive is the
motel address with Dunn & Bradstreet, international tourist
publications, such as the Mile Post, all stationary and the
telephone listing. Besides the monetary cost of changing the
address, there is the intangible cost of having the wrong address
in tourist publications which may take a year or more to accomplish
a change. The post office is pressuring him to change the address
because it does not agree with the street numbering system. If
this was something of the motel's doing, we could shrug it off as
their problem. However, this is the address that the City gave
them.
The surveyor said that the preliminary plat was returned to them
with "Spur View Drive" in front of the motel crossed out and
"Ryan's Drive" written in. He understood this was done because the
two segments of Spur View Drive did not line up across Frontage
Road.
Page 2
Who's Ryan?
6/13/91
A plat has now been prepared to provide for the Congregate Housing
project. Spur View Drive to that area has been moved to align with
the street in front of the motel and now both segments are
designated as Ryan's Drive.
The name "Ryan" in all of this has, obviously, come from Ryan's
Creek, which is nearby.
The creek was named for Ryan but the street was named for the creek
because nobody knew who Ryan was.
The surveyor who drew the plat for Spur Subdivision No. 4 did not
know who Ryan was. An old time surveyor in the City did not know
who Ryan was. A long time City employee and resident did not know
of Ryan. A long time resident couple, interested in historical
matters, had not heard of Ryan.
However, a prominent native leader remembered his mother telling
him about Patty Ryan. He had a cabin toward the bluff on the creek
and the creek came to be called Ryan's Creek. He was apparently a
prominent man and well liked. It seems there was an election one
time and an argument developed which escalated into a fight and
although my informant couldn't remember for sure, he thinks maybe
Ryan was shot.
A long time resident native woman remembered her mother telling her
when she was a little girl, about a man named Ryan who lived by the
creek. She also remembered her mother telling her something about
a fight involving Ryan and somebody being shot but didn't know if
it was Ryan who was shot.
Let's see, these people heard about Ryan when they were children so
that could put Ryan on the scene about one hundred years ago.
Therefore, I recommend that the City of Kenai erect a bronze plaque
south of Frontage Road about where it crosses Ryan's Creek,
proclaiming that this creek was named in honor of Patty Ryan.
I also recommend that both segments of Ryan's Drive be designated

I feel sure that Patty Ryan will consider it an honor to have a

Fr: Randy Ernst, Airport Manager
Re: Airport Moose Relocation
On June 18th, Kenai Control Tower Supervisor Bob Beven, Kenai area
wildlife biologist for Fish and Game Ted Spraker and I met to
discuss the moose problem at the airport. Last Friday I had to
rent another helicopter from Kenai Air to try and herd seven moose
off the airport. We succeeded in herding three of the seven off of
the airport property. However, two days later they reappeared
swimming in the float plane water runway.
The problem seems to be that these moose are "imprinted" on the
airport which means all seven, including the three adult cow moose,
were either born or raised within the airport perimeter fencing.
It is difficult, if not impossible, to keep them from wandering
back to airport without taking other measures to insure that they
do not return.
A temporary solution to the moose problem would be to try to
relocate these moose by tranquilizing them and then transporting
them by truck and trailer to an area such as Cooper Landing. Mr.
Spraker thinks this will be far enough to prevent them from
returning to the airport. This operation will require the use of
a helicopter to down the moose with a tranquilizer and airlift them
to the waiting trucks.
It is likely that this operation will take two to three hours of
helicopter time which will exceed the $1,000 administrative
expenditure limit. I request the Council approve a purchase order
in the amount of $1500.00 to Kenai Air to pay for the helicopter
time required for this moose relocation project. The money will be
taken from the rental account of the Airport M & O fund. Of
course, if it takes less time the cost will be less.
As I mentioned above, this is only a temporary solution to the
problem. It is a safety problem which needs our attention. We
will be looking at alternative long term measures to prevent moose
from coming on to the airport and we .will return to the Council
with our recommendations.

nontransferable and must be surrendered to the Finance Department
by the operator to whom it was issued upon the operator's
cessation of business at the location stated in the certificate.
If the business is continued at the same location but the form of
business organization is changed, the operator shall surrender
his old certificate to the Finance Department for cancellation.

Attention: City Council Members
Reference: Re -opening of City Campground
Dear City Council Members:
The Kenai Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, passed a motion at
their last board meeting, requesting that the Kenai City Council re -open
the City Campground and to explore the idea of a host and hostess to
maintain this park, also to implement a daily user fee.
The closure of the campground earlier this summer has caused an
inconvenience to many tourists passing through the City of Kenai and it
would be in the best of interest of the City of Kenai and for local
tourism that this campground be re -opened as soon as possible.
Utilizing a host and hostess plan would allow the park to be supervised,
as well as maintained, which should eliminate any vandalism. These
people could act as ambassadors, welcoming the visitors to Kenai and
pass on information as needed.
Your assistance in this matter would be most appreciated.
Yours Sincerely,
Eleanor Thomson
Executive Director

RE: PROPOSED KENAI RIVER BOATING FACILITY
City of Kenai
The Kenai City Council has received information that the Kenai
River Management Board has been granted $100,000 to do a Kenai
River Carrying Capacity Study. At its June 5, 1991 Council
Meeting, the Council decided to wait until the study is completed
before expending further funds on this project.
Should the study come back in a negative sense, it does not look
hopeful that the City of Kenai will pursue the project. However,
should the study come back in a positive manner, we may be able
to use a lot of the information found by them in preparing our
I impact statement.
For the present, we will sit on this matter until further
information is available.
Thank you very much for your efforts.

determining factor for the City of Kenai in deciding whether or
not to pursue the installation of a new boating facility in
Kenai.
We have been requested by the Intergovernmental Coordinating
Agency to prepare an environmental impact statement of this
facility. Our engineers indicate the cost of this study will be
an additional $80,000. Before expending that amount of money, we
first wish to review your completed study. Your study may
determine whether or not an additional facility will be allowed.
Please forward a copy of your timetable for the completion of
this study. If you require any further information, please
contact this office.
Thanking you in advance for your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
CI OF KENAI

Dear Mr. Brown:

We are pleased to enclose the first full retro adjustment
on the above captioned policy. As you will note, the
retrospective premium on this policy, based upon your
loss experience, will be $67,915. CIGNA is forwarding
a check in the amount of $63,598 directly to the City
that should be in your hands by the middle of next week.
A breakdown of the first adjustment is as follows:
Manual Premium: $176,789
Billed Premium: $131,513
Retrospective Premium: $ 67,915
Return Premium: $ 63,598
It is interesting to note that the Joint Insurance
Arrangement workers' compensation premium for that period
would have been $155,574. Your initial premium was 15.5%
lower than the JIA. The retrospective premium is 38.4%
of the manual premium, and 43.7% of JIA premium.
The City should be commended on the loss experience for
the twelve months covered by this policy. There were
twelve claims during that period that totalled $9,275.63
in paid claims. This is the eighth year in a row that
the City has received a significant retrospective return
premium. In the event that your experience for this year
is favorable, we look forward to delivering to you a
sizeable check next year.

DATE: June 12, 1991
SUBJECT: Supervision at Various Departments
A request was made at the June 5, 1991 council meeting to review
supervision at the various departments. To paraphrase the request, I
believe it is to describe other situations, similar to the Library,
where the following occurs: The supervisor leaves the building (or
department), and the remaining employees consist of two or more
employees of equal pay grade. Inherent in this request is the
assumption that when this occurs, one of the remaining employees must
be placed in charge and must, therefore, be elevated to a higher pay
grade.
Perhaps the best place to start is to review the situation at the
Public Safety Building. During certain hours of the early morning,
there are two pay grade 14 police officers on duty, who may or may not
be in the building. According to the Acting Police Chief, one is
informally placed in charge, at no additional pay. There are a total
of eleven pay grade 14 police officers. It is not possible to
determine which two will be the two employees on duty alone at 3:00
a.m.
Therefore, the only way to assure that the two employees left on duty
will be at different pay grades is to elevate ten of them to all
different pay grades. It would not be sufficient to elevate ten
police officers, or even five police officers, to grade 15; that would
result in a similar supervision dilemma when two of them are matched
up at night. It follows, then, that we would have to have each of the
eleven police officers at a different pay grade, starting at 14 and
ending with 24. Of course, this would necessitate the sergeant (grade
16), the lieutenant (grade 18), and the Chief (grade 22) receiving
raises, lest the officers be paid more than their real supervisors.
Kenai City Council
June 12, 1991
Page Two
The same situation arises in the Communications Department. As
already noted, in the early morning, the two on -duty police officers
may be out of the building, leaving two of the six dispatchers alone
(the Fire Department employees have no supervisory authority over the
dispatchers). Again, we can't predict which two dispatchers these
will be. In order to assure ourselves that the two remaining
dispatchers are at different pay grades, we would have to elevate five
of them, leaving six different pay grades beginning at 8 and ending
with 13. This, of course, would require a raise for the
communications supervisor, who is a pay grade 11.
A similar situation exists at the recreation building. There are
numerous times when the only employees in the building are pay grade
3. There are four pay grade 3 employees. We don't know for sure
which two will be on duty together. So, in order to assure ourselves
- that's enough; surely you get the picture by now.
This memo has taken on a tone of absurdity, largely because the
assumption made in the opening paragraph is not valid. It is simply
not true that when two employees are left alone, one must be at a
higher pay grade to be effectively in charge. Every department head I
discussed this with said they felt that they could (and did) appoint a
selected employee to a short-term supervisory role without additional
pay. It's done all the time. Also, there is no support to the
argument that the person in charge must be at a higher pay grade.
When the City Manager and Finance Director are both out of the
building, Kim Howard, who is not the third highest paid employee in
City Hall, is in charge.

Field Inspection: William J. Nelson
Inspection - Office Services: CH2M Hill
G & S Constructions sub -contractor, Jackson Construction, has been
working on the project. The parshall flume has been excavated out
and the Sewer Treatment Plant is scheduled to be shut down Friday
night at 10:00 p.m. to disconnect and change the plumbing. On
Monday or Tuesday night the plant will, again, be shut down to move
the parshall flume. This parshall flume weighs approximately
50,000 lbs. Jackson Construction has also excavated for the east
side of the chlorine building and is compacting for the footings.
They have also relocated the storm drain on the north side of the
site. A sub -contractor has relocated the south fence according to
Change Order No. 1, and has temporarily relocated the north fence.
In relocating this north fence, the contractor found a tremendous
amount of garbage, beer bottles, and other items thrown down from
the Municipal Park located above the Sewer Treatment Plant. It is
obvious that the area above the Sewer Treatment Plant which is the
Municipal Park is used extensively for beer parties.
Public Works is presently writing the inspection contracts with
William J. Nelson & Associates and the City, and CH2M Hill and the
City.

AIRPORT DRAINAGE AND SAFETY ZONE IMPROVEMENTS
This project has been placed on hold until the City submits the
Environmental Assessment on the project. The City has hired Aries

Wince, Corthell, Bryson, have completed and submitted a draft of
the environmental assessment. The City of Kenai has distributed
copies of this draft to the various federal and state agencies
asking them to review the draft and submit their comments before
July 5, 1991. A copy of this Draft Environmental Assessment is
available at the Public Works office.
RENAI CONGREGATE HOUSING
Architect: Livingston/Slone
The first ad for the construction bidding on this project will run
in the newspaper on June 23, 1991. The construction bidding
documents will be ready for the bidders on July 1, 1991. The pre -
bid conference is scheduled for July 16, 1991 at 10:00 a.m. and the
construction bid opening is scheduled for July 31, 1991 at 2:00
p.m.
The FAA Road which is being renamed "Spur View Drive" and Senior
Court are being bid as part of this project under a separate
schedule. These roads are being built to enhance the FAA property
and provide adequate access to these airport lands. This portion
of the project has to be separated because of the different funding
being used to pay for the construction.
RENAI WILDLIFE VIEWING AREA - BOARDWALK
The City of Kenai crews, Kenai Chamber of Commerce, and inmates
from Wildwood Correctional Institution have been actively working
on this project. The inmates have installed the railroad ties
(approximately 300) into the H-Beams that were installed last
winter. The City and the inmates have also performed the welding
necessary for the support braces, steel cap, and retaining wall
bracket supports. The City of Kenai crews have been hauling
backfill onto the site, spreading and compacting to approximately
2 feet from the top of the retaining wall. The Kenai Chamber of
Commerce provided the labor to build 10 of the 7 ft. sections of
the Boardwalk on Saturday June 15, 1991. It is hopeful that the
inmates will complete the additional 7 - 9 ft. sections of the
Boardwalk, which would complete the decking, sometime this week.
This would leave the handrails and finishing work to be completed
the following week. The City still has about 30% of the backfill
behind the retaining wall to be completed. Larry Wilkes has been
given the responsibility of handling the Boardwalk project for the
City. He is the temporary Engineering Technician and has been
doing an excellent job. I am hoping that he can complete this
project before his time is up. It is really too bad that this 6
month position could not be increased to a full time position. At
this low salary this is a real bargain for the City.

KENAI RIVER VIEWING AREA
I received word yesterday from State Parks that the City of Kenai
has received the grant for this day park from the National Park
Service. It may even be possible to receive this federal grant in
time to do some work this construction season.
BASEBALL FIELDS - NEAR K.J.H.S.
Much of the topsoil has been hauled for these fields. The next
step in. construction will be surveying to determine the slope after
which our crews will level out and continue backfilling until the
proper grade is reached. It is hopeful that our street crew will
have sufficient time to complete this project so that the grass
will have time to come up before the end of the season.
DUST CONTROL - CSS1 FOR GRAVEL ROADS
The street crew completed the dust control measures on City gravel
roads by June 6, 1991. The total cost for one complete time of
dust control amounts to approximately $40,000. It cost a little
over $25,000 for the CSS1 and a little under $10,000 for the
distributor truck with the remaining amount for freight. These
costs do not include the City of Kenai street crew nor the
equipment furnished by the City which consists of a motor patrol
grader, water truck, and pick up.
PAINTING WELLHOUSE TANKS
R & K Industrial is presently working on sandblasting wellhouse #2.
They are doing a good job and upon completion both our wellhouses
should be in good shape as far as painting and the building itself.
SEALING CRACKS ON PAVED ROADS
The City of Kenai street crew was pulled off of this project
because the backfill for the Boardwalk needed to be completed in
order not to hold up that project. The street crew will be going
back to sealing cracks as soon as possible in an effort to complete
this very important part of pavement maintenance.
AIRPORT SWEEPER
The bids for the Airport Sweeper were received on June 13, 1991.
The City of Kenai received two bids for the sweeper. The lowest
bid was received from Samira for an Elgin Eagle in the amount of
$103,777.01, the other bid was received from Sahlberg for a Mobile
Sweeper in the amount of $107,269.00. The bid we received from
Samira was $3491.99 less than Sahlbergs, however, their bid
contained many major acceptions to the specifications.
Page 5
P.W. Directors Report
June 19, 1991
FAA is paying for 93.75% of the sweeper. The City of Kenai is
requesting that FAA concur with us in declaring the Samira bid
nonresponsive due to not meeting the bidding specifications. The
award for the sweeper is not being brought up for consideration by
Council at this meeting since we are still conferring with FAA.
Hopefully it will be before the Council at their next meeting of
July 3, 1991.
AIRPORT/FIRE CRASH TRUCK
The Public Works Department is presently working with the Fire
Department in drawing up the specifications for bidding this
vehicle.
R.V. DUMPSITE
Public Works is presently working on locating a site for dumping RV
campers. I have located a new 10,000 gallon tank that could
possibly work for this project. The plan is to provide a facility
for RV and mobilehome vehicles to dump their waste water which
contains formaldehyde, a product that is damaging our wastewater
treatment. Waste water from the RV's would be temporarily stored
in the 10,000 gal. tank, finely ground up and placed into our sewer
system at a gradual rate. At the present time we are looking at
placing this site near the existing lift station down Willow
Street, past the FAA tower, or possibly near the future lift
station on Marathon Road. In any case it appears that possibly the
funding that was budgeted for last year may lapse and.may need to
be reappropriated.
P33 AIRPLANE
Public Works is presently working with the Mayor in an effort to
try and figure out a method for displaying the P33 plane that we
have recently received from the military.
WATER SAMPLING
Public Works is presently working with ADEC and various testing
laboratories for the required testing of our City water. Besides
coliform testing, we are involved in VOC, nitrates, inorganics,
organics and radio activity. The City provides municipal water
from not only our two wellhouses but also the City Dock.

VACTOR DUMP STATION
The vactor dump station at the STP is about 90% complete.

Public Works will be starting on this project next month and may
combine the work with some other concrete work that has built up
like: Spruce Street curb; police station parking curb & drainage
structures; vactor pump station concrete work; Fathom Drive
sidewalk repair; City Hall and other City buildings parking lot
concrete repairs.

ATMC F/W/S FAM TRIP GENERATES
NEW ALASKAN TOURS
In March, several Soldotna Chamber members
joined other Peninsula business owners in a
mini -trade show at the Sports Center to
highlight products and services offered
during the fall, winter and spring months to
a group of 17 tour wholesalers as part of a
familiarization trip to promote the state as
an all -seasons destination.
Bill Elander, CEO of the Anchorage
Convention and Visitors Bureau, reports that
all 17 plan to come back, bringing thousands
of new visitors to Alaska in the
fall/winter/spring. Among those tour
wholesalers who participated in the fam
trip, many will incorporate the Kenai
Peninsula in their itineraries.
*Saga International Tours of Boston plans
eight departures in mid September and
another eight in early March. Their tours
will run 10 nights, with an eight -night
add -on. Tentative itinerary includes
Southeast, Southcentral and the Interior.
*Don/Diane Funtours of Seattle wants to
test market an Iditarod program next year
which would include Southcentral and the
Interior.
*Christian Tours of North Carolina will
market an eight -day, seven -night itinerary
that will include the start of the Iditarod
and a trip to the Kenai Peninsula.

a 32-page guide, the format was
expanded to 40 pages and contains
approximately 50% advertising and
50% text/photos.
We would like to extend our
appreciation to everyone who helped
in putting this publication together
and especially our members who
reserved advertising space. It was
through the good response to
advertising sales that we were able
to produce a 40-page guide. We
have already had many visitors
through the Visitor Center picking
up a copy and will be distributing
bundles throughout Southcentral
Alaska for promotion in other
communities. In addition, the
guides will be mailed to inquiries
for information we receive from
tour operators, travel agencies and
visitor service centers on a
year-round basis.

I was born in Anchorage, Alaska. I am 12 years old, in the 6th grade
and now live in Sterling. I play many sports like soccer, volleyball,
basketball, softball and skiing. I enjoy reading, hiking, camping,
collecting postcards, playing my flute and especially writing stories,
poems and something new, brochures. I have written a lot of stories
but my brochure was a totally new experience and challenge. I enter
many writing contests. I win sometimes and when I don't, I learn what
to do to make myself a better writer than what I already am.
To begin our brochure project, my QUEST class of 4 took a visit to the
Soldotna Visitor Center. I said to myself that there was no information
on berries or flowers. Flowers, a topic I really enjoy was chosen by
another student, so I chose berries on the Kenai Peninsula. I figured
tourists might have an interest in them so I began researching
information on certain berries.
1 will go to college in the field of journalism and when I am done with
college I hope I will work as a news reporter on TV or write articles for
newspapers. In my spare time I will always write stories. Perhaps
many of them will be published some day.
- Emily Tracy
I am 12 years old. I was born on May 15, 1978 at the Presbyterian
Intercommunity Hospital in Klamath Falls, Oregon. I moved from
Oregon when I was 2 years old. In 1980 1 moved to Sterling, where 1
still live today. I love to dance and will be advancing to pointe in ballet
this fall, and I am currently taking tap dance lessons now. I also love to
read large novels.
I started writing stories in Kindergarten and wrote my first report in
list grade for the science fair. Since then, I have written many reports
and stories. I chose Wild Flowers and Grasses of the Kenai Peninsula
for my brochure because no one has really ever written one before. I
have been in camping grounds and parks and have heard people from out
of state say, "Oh, Honey! What is that beautiful flower?" I thought
maybe my brochure could answer their questions.
I either want to be a pro ballet dancer or a doctor. If I am a ballet
dancer I want to go to Russia or New York and study dance. If I am a
doctor, I want to go to medical school at Berkley then work as a doctor
in a hospital somewhere. Whatever I do, I want it to be complicated.

ALASKA O11L PRICES -ANOTHER LOOK MAY 1991 /
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1. We now estimate FY 1991 general fund unrestricted revenues will amount to $2882
million with an average price, for Alaskan oil, of $21.00/bbl.
2. The scenarios developed in the Spring Forecast are still a reasonable way to character-
ize the oil price outlook for FY 1992 with estimated general fund unrestricted revenues of
$2125 million for Scenario B and $2720 million for Scenario C.
3. Although oil consumption growth will put upward pressure on oil prices in the me-
dium term, the current global economic slowdown, and uncertainty about the return of Kuwait
and Iraq into the export market present significant downside risk over the next 12 months.
4. Trend -analysis suggests that barring.another major supply disruption, Alaska oil prices
would not be expected to exceed $18.00/bbl over the next 12 months.
ANALYSIS
We now have a pretty good idea of how the state did in FY 1991. We have collections
from oil production taxes and royalties through April and a reasonably good fix on oil prices
which will determine revenue from these sources for the rest of the year. Our best guess is that
FY 1991 general fund unrestricted revenue will amount to $2882 million.
FY 1991 has proven to be a very good year for state revenues thanks to the disruption in
the market caused by the Persian Gulf War. We estimate that the price spike due to the embargo
of Iraqi and Kuwaiti oil added over $5.00/bbl to the average annual price of Alaska North Slope
(ANS) crude oil. If you exclude the months when oil prices were impacted by the embargo,
ANS prices reported by producers averaged just over $16.00/bbl.
Viewed another way, if it hadn't been for the War, the Spring 1990 mid scenario of
$19.33/bbl for FY 1991 could easily have proven to be too high. As it is, the state will enjoy a
healthy surplus of revenues for FY 1991.
The outlook for FY 1992 ANS oil prices remains essentially unchanged from that which
we outlined for you in our Spring 1991 forecast. Setting aside the market collapse scenario of
$12.00/bbl oil, both Scenario B ($16.11/bbl) and Scenario C ($19.93/bbl) bracket fairly well the
consensus view on where prices will fall next year.

+ AM pries is derived by mdtiplying the Department of Enna's forecasted M2 Refiner Acquisition
Costs by the average 1990 Lower" ANS/Refiner Acgaisition Cost ratio (0.9498).
Reading from the price/revenue matrix prepared for the Spring 1991 Forecast, the range
of forecasted prices listed above result in Alaska general fund unrestricted revenues of $2125
million for the Dept. of Revenue Scenario B, $2344 million for the Cambridge Energy Research
Associates base case, and $2439 million for the U.S. Dept. of Energy base scenario.
Although we have not recommended a particular oil price scenario, it is important to
emphasize that there is significant downside risk for oil prices over the next 12 months. This
risk is related on the demand side to the possibility that the current economic recession in the
U.S. and the global economic slowdown will continue to depress petroleum consumption
growth. Risk on the supply side is related to the ability of OPEC to accomodate the return of
Kuwait and Iraq into the oil export market. We feel that the risk of lower oil prices is greater in
FY 1992 than in FY 1993 at which time we expect world consumption to begin pressing up
against current production capacity with resulting upward pressure on oil prices.

OIL PRICE BACKGROUND - SOME RECENT HISTORY
We have put together several figures to illustrate for you the context for our most recent
oil price forecast. Generally speaking there are two methods for quantitatively preparing an oil
price forecast. The fast looks at market fundamentals, the second examines trends in oil prices.
What follows is a little bit of both.
Market Fundamentals
Market fundamentals of supply and demand will ultimately determine oil prices. The
Department of Revenue develops forecast scenarios of the global oil market supply and demand
fundamentals in order to determine various hypothetical levels of OPEC production needed to
meet world demand. The table below illustrates our Spring 1991 Scenario B in which we fore-
cast that the world would require 21.1 million bbl/day from OPEC in the second quarter of 1991.
OPEC is currently producing approximately 22.4 million bbl/day which, if the scenario is cor-
rect, should mean excess supply and lower prices. Currently spot oil prices for ANS continue to
hover around $17.00/bbl as of May 17, 1991.

* Projected: The fundamental assumptions outlined in this scenario are consistent with those used by the
International Energy Administration (IBA).
The crucial assumptions about the fundamentals revolve around the assessment for
economic growth and the response of OPEC and, in particular, tnega producer Saudi Arabia to
the return of Iraq and Kuwait to the export market. It is estimated that Iraq could export up to
700,000 bbl/day through Turkey, if they got the go ahead from the UN committee on sanctions.
Most analysts feel that Kuwait might be able to resume limited exports, perhaps as much as
500,000 bbl/day, by next fall. Without some production cuts by the Saudis and other OPEC
members OPEC potentially would be producing 24 million bbl/day by next fall. Scenario C
Oil Price Update Page 4
($19.93/bbi) envisions oil consumption growth of 3% which would support this level of OPEC
production. If oil consumption grows at a rate closer to 1 %, as is envisioned in Scenario B
($16.11/bbl), then OPEC will need to trim production to keep price from weakening.
There is no guarantee that the past will exactly repeat itself but it is instructive to look at
what oil price trends have been. To illustrate oil price trends we start with data beginning in
1987. OPEC has pursued what is called a market based pricing strategy since that time. Prior to
,that time, the cartel attempted to impose.a set of official prices, which resulted in Saudi Arabia
acting as the swing producer maintaining official prices while their sales plummeted. This ulti-
mately resulted in a change in Saudi Arabian policy in late 1986 when they began to target
market share, letting market determine price. The bottom line is that OPEC no longer attempts
to control both price and production, but instead focuses on production management to achieve a
general price target.
As can be seen in Figure 1, oil prices have been highly variable over the last four years.

very gentle upward trend implying prices of just over $16.00/bbl if the trend continues. Includ-

over the last 44 months (once again excluding the price spike due to the Iraq embargo and war).
One-half of the time oil prices exceeded $16.16/bbl. 30% of the time oil prices exceeded

Thank you very much for your letter of June 4, 1991 in which you
requested a pro -forma income statement for the above -referenced
project. You requested, in particular, a five-year forecast
showing anticipated income and expenses for the project.
Enclosed you will find that requested information.
The project has been completed through its design phase. The
blueprints are now ready to go to bid. We are asking for an
entire bid on the project so that we may get a feel for the
amount of capital to complete the project all at one time.
Included are a few notes of explanation so that you may be able
to follow the pro -forma statement a bit more closely. Enclosed
are two copies of the pro -forma statement. One copy with notes,
the other without.* If there is any further information you may
require or if you would like to review the blueprints of the
project, some can be sent to you.
NOTES:
1. The pro -forma statement begins by assuming that the City of
Kenai will.loan the project $25,000 in its initial start-up
year as operating capital.
2. At the completion of the first operating year, the project
will pay back to the City of Kenai the initial start-up
capital and will show a profit of $30,326.00.'
3a. The profit shown does not include $50,000 that will be
deposited to the replacement reserve balance.
Commissioner Millett Keller
June 13, 1991
Page 2
3b. The replacement reserve balance will continue to grow at
$50,000 per year, plus interest. There will be a balance at
the end of the five-year period of $283,188.60. This
balance will continue to grow until there is a $1 million
back-up in the reserve.
4. The rents have been set to reflect a mid -market range
between Section 515 Subsidized Housing and average market
rents in the area. These rents can be adjusted to reflect
an even greater cash flow, thus showing a larger profit.
5. In the fifth year, please note that there is a $44.00
decrease in the amount of earnings to the operating capital
of the previous year. Keep in mind that there has been no
mention of adjustments of the rent levels during the first
five years. This is something that will undoubtedly change
as the project evolves, but for now, we are assuming no
changes in rent levels.
6. The total operation and maintenance expenses, as reflected
in the end of the first year, transfers over to the first
column, directly under the borrowed $25,000. This will
continue each succeeding year.
7. You will note that provisions have been made within the
budget for a full-time salaried manager and the expenses of
the manager's apartment. These costs will all be absorbed
by the project.
8. You will note that no provision has been made for real
estate taxes and special assessments since this is a City
owned project and requires none of these.
9. The property insurance figure has been checked with our
broker. We will be insuring the building at full value.
The premium is lower than normal because this building will
be fully sprinkled. Additionally, the City of Kenai is
refurbishing one fire truck at a cost of $67,000 this year.
We are planning the purchase of a six -level platform -
operated fire truck at a cost of $500,000 in the coming
year. This purchase is primarily because the addition of
this facility to the City increases the number of large
buildings of this size to the level that requires a new type
of fire fighting equipment. Incidentally, the $500,000
requirement for the new fire truck has already been budgeted
and pre-exists in the City's heavy equipment reserve
account.

10. Included are all other costs of operation and maintenance,
administrative and other expenses of incremental costs, for
each and every year as the project begins to age. Such
things as outside janitorial contracts for carpet cleaning,
furniture replacement in the lounges, and so forth have all
been accounted for within the budget. As we have explained
in the past to the Governor and others, this project is
intended to run as an economic enterprise project. It
should stand totally on its own merits and should not
require additional input from the City of Kenai. We also
see the possibilities of some of the profit stream being
transferred to the Senior Citizens Center for the purchase
of minor furnishings, such as curtains, cushions, dishes,
etc. that are periodically requested from the City Council.
Since Commissioner Stastny has also expressed an interest in the
operation of the project, we are forwarding a copy of this letter
and the pro -forma statement to him for his review.
Once again, thank you very much for your continued interest and
support. We appreciate the help that you are giving us and look
forward to working with the administration in completing this
much needed project for the Kenai Peninsula.
Sincerely,
CITY OF KENAI

RE: KENAI CONGREGATE HOUSING PROJECT
TELEPHONE 283-7535
FAX 907-283-3014
Thank you very much for your letter of June 3, 1991 and your
comments contained within the letter in regard to the above -
referenced project. .
Included for your review, is a letter to Commissioner Keller as
well as a copy of our five-year pro -forma statement which was
requested by Commissioner Keller in his letter of June 4. As
indicated in Commissioner Keller's letter, we have tried to cover
all anticipated revenues and expenses and feel that the project
should stand on its own.
It is true that the Kenai Peninsula Borough has a very high
concentration of senior citizens. However, you will recall that
the Kenai Peninsula Borough stretches from Seward to Homer, a
distance of 180 miles and encompasses four major communities and
at least ten smaller communities. We have, over the past eight
years, viewed the senior housing as an area -wide project, not
just a project for the City of Kenai. Additionally, the City of
Kenai is now undergoing quite a housing crunch.
Our population is increasing, yet no new residential apartments
have been built in the City of Kenai since 1986. This has
resulted in nearly every real estate agency and rental agency in
the City being inundated with calls for housing. As you know,
mortgage companies are extremely reluctant to loan money for
multi -family projects at this time. The result of forty
additional units of housing will allow seniors, including those
living in Kenai, to move from existing private sector housing.
This will allow vacancies to occur and to be filled by those now
waiting for housing.
Commissioner Shelby Stastny
June 12, 1991
Page 2
I personally operate some 92 units of rental housing. Much of
these units are financed by the federal government under the
Farmers Home Administration, section 515 Program. I look forward
to having those seniors presently living in my complexes to move
to the Senior Congregate Housing Facility, which will allow
others to participate in the Section 515 program. I see no
problem in the foreseeable future of the Congregate Housing
Project impacting the private sector.
You had some concerns as to the operation of the facility and who
will receive the annual income. The City of Kenai will operate
the facility as an economic enterprise and will collect sales tax
revenues just as any other economic enterprise does. The sales
tax is collected by the Kenai Peninsula Borough, and then
distributed back to the cities. The City has agreed to make up
any operating expenses set forth, however, as can be demonstrated
by the pro -forma statement, there definitely does not seem to be
a problem.
The rental figures presently include receipts of approximately
$15,000 a month. In looking at the difference between the rental
value and actual rents collected, one needs to make the
observation that this particular project cannot equate to a
standard private enterprise project because of the nature of the
project and the construction requirements associated with it.
The cost of the project does seem to be extreme. Please be
assured, however, that since the City of Kenai is involved in at
least three other public works projects, the cost of this project
on a square foot basis is right on target with other publicly
funded projects.
You are correct in your assumption that to try to justify the
project on economic grounds definitely does not work. However,
as you so well indicated, it does make sense as a social service.
The project is a hundred -year project in my estimation and will
see many, many years of service for generations to come.
Thank you very much for your concerns and interest in this
project. As indicated to Commissioner Keller, we will be happy
to forward a set of plans of the project for his review. You may
also want to review the plans if it is decided they should be
sent down.

Subject: "No Alternate Bids" Provision
Dear Keith:
oJIU—�

Incorpraled
This letter verifies your directive given this date which deletes all provisions for alternate
bids. Please be aware that this provision conflicts directly with the Contract's Article 1.1
last two sentences; we assume that this new directive will supersede the Contract.
Additionally, this provision nullifies our responsibilities in Article 3.3 since the project
construction cost will significantly exceed the construction budget (the effort for potential
drawing revisions needed to bring the project under budget would have to be compensated
as an extra service).
Our current analysis of construction cost (Design Development basis) and the construction
budget indicates a shortfall of between $1,877,000 and $656,000 (the difference between
these depends upon receipt of additional state funding).
For numerous reasons, we strongly recommend the City's original approach of using Bid
Alternates. In choosing to delete alternate bids, the City should consider the following:
The budget isn't sufficient to cover the proposed construction costs. Even
if some of the contingency were to be used at the time of construction
contract award, it is probable that significant shortfalls will exist.
Bidders may refrain from bidding a project that is significantly
underfunded, th;:s � m, — competition and resulting in higher bid costs.
Also, bidder's have been known to successfully sue Owner's for bid
preparation costs when bids were solicited in bad faith (underfunded
project).
Having no additive alternates, leaves the City with no ready process for
rapidly awarding the bid. The alternate bid process allows the City to
quickly 'adjust' the scope of the project if necessary, on a competitive basis
after the bids are opened. This contrasts with a negotiated process in which
the City is at the mercy of the low bidder(s) through a non competitive,
lengthy process in an attempt to award the project before the construction
season expires.
The project is bidding late in the season when the bidding climate is less
competitive. So any delays for award, (as may be caused by the lack of
alternate bids) will only serve to compound this situation.

The architect's services during bidding phase includes "assisting the Owner in preparing
the construction contract and obtaining bids or negotiated proposals...". We do not have
the necessary effort included in our fees to assist the Owner in negotiating a construction
contract that may result from the large current disparity between budget and bid.
At your direction, we are deleting all bid alternates and have directed our consultants to do
the same. Please call me immediately should you have questions regarding our current
direction.

Re: Kenai River guide limitation system �OF KENAI �
Dear May04(*i�
c6�8aza92c'
Thank you for sending a copy of City of Kenai Resolution No. 91-
22, requesting that the state use sales tax records as the basis
for documenting guiding experience. We have spent a considerable
amount of time on this issue in the past few months, and we
understand its importance to the guide industry and local
community.
The decision was made late last month to proceed with the
limitation system, effective in 1992. Guiding experience will be
the largest factor in determining who is awarded these valuable
permits, since the competitive bid element'originally proposed has
been dropped in favor of a flat fee.
Sales tax records will be excellent documentation of guiding
experience. We have discovered, however, that there can be
problems with tax records being the only acceptable form of
documenting experience. For example, what if the applicant guided
as an employee of another guide, recently formed an independent
business, and has had a "falling out" with the previous boss who
refuses to verify tax payments? We will need to allow other types
of documentation in cases where tax records are unavailable.
Thanks again for your support. After the initial adjustment
period, we believe that the guide limit will result in a better,
more stable Kenai River guide industry.
