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.

WILLIAMS, MAYOR ATTEST: Carol L. Freas, City Clerk Suggested By: Council CITY OF KENAI 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. PASSED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, the 19th day 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.

Also the question of debt service for bond repayment and borough lands that would be in the proposed city limits. I's I KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH 144 N. BINKLEY • SOLDOTNA.

The Commission also requested that Ernst 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 KENAI HARBOR COMMISSION June 10, 1991 - 3 - WATER MUST BE REPORTED TO THE COAST GUARD. THOMPSON SECONDED. MALMBERG AMENDED THE MOTION BY ADDING TO THE POSTED MEMO THAT WHOEVER SPILLS OR WITNESSES A SPILL MUST REPORT IT TO THE COAST GUARD. JAHRIG SECONDED. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. 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. KENAI HARBOR COMMISSION June 10, 1991 - 4 - THOMPSON MOVED TO ADJOURN THE MEETING. IT WAS SECONDED AND ELDRIDGE ADJOURNED THE MEETING AT 8:40 P.M.

She also showed copies of her State and Business license to operate her day care. She said she had operated the business for approximately one year and that she was unaware she needed a permit through the City. She had applied for the CUP as soon as she knew it was required. Howard Hackney, Building Inspector said that this is a permitted use in the Suburban Residential zone. This is also the kind of business the city likes, one that operates and most people don't know it's there. MOTION AND VOTE: Commissioner Rehm moved approval of Resolution PZ 91-18. Graveley seconded. Passed unanimously. d. Resolution PZ 91-19: Replat Ellerman Subdivision #1 MOTION: Commissioner Rehm moved to approve Resolution PZ 91-19: Replat of Ellerman Subdivision Lot SOA and SOB. Commissioner Graveley seconded. Chairman Bryson noted staff comments that Cottonwood St. should be Spruce Street, also that a building exists on one lot, which was not shown on plat. An additional plat had been received since the Staff report which indicates the existing building. VOTE: Passed unanimously. 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. 7.

ROLL CALL Present: Malmberg, Hakkinen, Jackson, Selby, Malston, Sparks Absent: None Also Present: Kayo McGillivray, Linda Swarner, Richard Hultberg, Peggy Mullen 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. Kathy Lawyer Secretary to the Committee 1AQiPt11 BICENTENNIAL. TO: Council Members City of Kenai FROM: John J. Williams, Mayor City of Kenai DATE: June 14, 1991 RE: BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE CITY OF KENAI T , fl %%eU 67apf� 4 4a,;� - 210 Fidalgo Avenue Kenai, Alaska 99611 TELEPHONE 283-7535 FAX 907-283-3014 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. JJW/clf -2- 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 Page 3 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. Minutes transcribed and submitted by: Carol L.

There were no objections. 80 ORDERED. 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. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 5, 1991 PAGE 6 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. VOTE: Councilwoman Monfor requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. (One package, one bid, 100%.) Monfor: Yes Measles: Yes McComsey: Yes Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes Walker: Yes Swarner: Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. ITEM C: PUBLIC HEARINGS C-1. Ordinance No. 1436-91 - Adopting the Annual Budget for the Fiscal Year Commencing July 1, 1991, and Ending June 30, 1992. MOTION: Councilwoman Monfor MOVED for approval of Ordinance No. 1436-91 and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 5, 1991 PAGE 10 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 JUNE 5, 1991 PAGE 11 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. MOTION TO AMEND: Councilman Measles MOVED to increase Fire -Repair and Maintenance by $19,800 for additional costs to refurbish a fire engine and Councilman McComsey SECONDED the motion. There were no public or Council comments. VOTE: Monfor: Yes Measles: Yes McComsey: Yes Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes Walker: Yes Swarner: Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. MOTION TO AMEND: Councilman Measles MOVED to increase Parks -Improvements Other Than Buildings by $16,000 for sidewalks in the Memorial Park and Councilman McComsey SECONDED the motion. Councilwoman Swarner asked Ms. Sparks where she got her information regarding spaces available at Memorial Park. Answer: Director McGillivray. Clerk Freas stated that her records show that there are approximately nine spaces available. She has had two people ask for information, and one has reserved a spot, but no one has purchased any since her last count. VOTE: Monfor: Yes Measles: Yes McComsey: Yes Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes Walker: Yes Swarner: Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. RENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 51 1991 PAGE 12 MOTION TO AMEND: Councilwoman Swarner MOVED to increase Library -Salaries and Benefits accounts by $3,164 to provide a pay range increase for 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 authority to appoint someone to be "in charge" and in the budget to pay that "acting supervisor" more VOTE: Monfor: Yes Smalley: Yes Swarner: Yes MOTION FAILED. MOTION: Measles: No Williams: No an emergency or has the there is money money. McComsey: No Walker: No Councilwoman Monfor MOVED to increase Library -Salaries and Benefits accounts by $13,642 to provide for Sunday openings of the Library and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. RENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 5, 1991 PAGE 13 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. VOTE: Monfor: Yes Smalley: Yes Swarner: Yes MOTION FAILED. Measles: No McComsey: No Williams: No Walker: No 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. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 5, 1991 PAGE 14 MOTION: Councilwoman Monfor MOVED to include in this budget $10,000 for the Kenai Bicentennial Visitors and Convention Bureau to continue work and Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. McComsey asked if this money is to run until January, 1992. Carter answered yes, along with other fund raising and grants for which they are applying, the money will get them through until the end of the year. Walker asked if a lot of advertising must be in place by October 1. Carter answered yes. Walker asked if monies were in the budget already for advertising. Answer was no. It was intended that the KBVCB disband, but then they received the grant to build the facility. All costs for advertising placed for this year has been paid. Williams added that they were going to sunset the organization, but now they will continue until the completion of the building. VOTE: Monfor: Yes Smalley: Yes Swarner: Yes Measles: Yes Williams: Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Williams asked if there were any other amendments.

VOTE: Councilman McComsey requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. Councilman Walker objected to the request. Walker stated that the City is not in danger of the money reverting back to the State. Brown stated that was incorrect. Attorney Graves stated that he would have to look at the grant proposal, however there is usually a time period in which the money must be spent. Kornelis stated that the time period is five years from the grant date. The five years is up in May or June of this year. He requested an extension because the project could not be awarded by that time. The project has one year in which to be completed. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 5, 1991 PAGE 18 MOTION: Councilman Walker MOVED to table the award until the groundbreaking at the Carr's site. Walker added that was one of the reasons for doing this project. Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. Williams stated that the legislature tried to pull this money from the City this year in order to reappropriate it. There was a lot of work and discussion to keep that from happening. VOTE ON MOTION TO TABLE: Monfor: No Smalley: No Swarner: Yes MOTION FAILED. Measles: Absent McComsey: No Williams: No Walker: Yes Kornelis stated that the bids were received on May 31, 1991 for the Carr's Center. Walker stated he was aware of this. Walker added that building the road now is like putting the cart before the horse. Walker also stated that it is a non -debatable motion that failed.

MOTION: Councilman Walker MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 91-33 and requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. Councilwoman Monfor SECONDED the motion. There were no comments from the public. Councilwoman Swarner asked what the cost would be. Williams stated that at this time RENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 5, 1991 PAGE 19 he did not know. More should be known on Friday. Marathon Oil is sending visa.papers for seven people to travel. Those will be Pat O'Connell, Mayor Gilman, a VECO representative and himself, 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. Smalley requested that the resolution be corrected to not use "Russia." Clerk is to check with the protocol office to get the correct title. Williams stated he will furnish information to the Council as soon as he receives it.

Council on Aging Swarner stated there was no meeting since the last council meeting. The Congregate Housing Project was discussed earlier in 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 JUNE 5, 1991 PAGE 22 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. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of both applicants once the application is completed and filed by Ms. Koerber. There were no 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 RENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 51 1991 PAGE 24 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. RENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 5, 1991 PAGE 25 D-7. Miscellaneous Commissions and Committees Discussion of a work session with the Planning & Zoning Commission followed. It was suggested that the Council meet with the Planning & Zoning Commission after their meeting of June 26. The Clerk is to request the Planning & Zoning secretary to confirm this date with the Commission at their meeting of June 12 and bring that information to Council on June 19. ITEM E: MINUTES E-1.

Kornelis stated that Howard Hackney included a memorandum asking that Ryan's Drive be designated as Spur View Drive and Senior Drive be designated as Senior Court before the plat is approved. Williams stated that he desired more historical information in regard to Ryan's Drive. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for the approval of Item H-6, the vacation of Spur View Drive and Senior Court public right-of-ways and vacation of ten -foot utility easements adjacent to those right-of-ways and amending the plat changing Ryan's Drive to Spur View Drive and amending the plat changing Senior Drive to Senior Court pursuant to staff's comments. Councilman McComsey SECONDED the motion. Councilman Walker requested a roll call vote. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JONE 5, 1991 PAGE 27 VOTE: Monfor: No Smalley: Yes Swarner: No MOTION FAILS. Measles: Absent McComsey: Yes Williams: Yes Walker: No 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. -- SO ORDERED. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 5, 1991 PAGE 28 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: Monfor: No Measles: Absent McComsey: Yes Smalley: Yes Williams: No Walker: No Swarner: No MOTION FAILED. 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. 8-7. Approval - Petition to Vacate a Portion of a 33' Section Line Easement Within Lots 4-A, 5-A and 8, Baron Wood Subdivision, Sec. 4 and the 33' Section Line Easement Within Government Lot 2, Sec. 9, T5N, R11W, S.M. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of the section line easement vacation and Councilman McComsey SECONDED the motion. Williams stated that this easement allows access to the Dragnet property between the Coyle property and the airline warehouse property. This is the portion requested to be vacated. Kornelis KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 5, 1991 PAGE 29 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. Bill Nelson - Spoke as the future need is not interest of the City is VOTE: Monf or : No Smalley: No Swarner: No a concerned party. He agrees 100% that known at this time. He believes the best to keep the easement in place. Measles: Absent McComsey: No Williams: No Walker: No MOTION UNANIMOUSLY FAILED. 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. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 5, 1991 PAGE 31 MOTION TO AMEND: Smalley MOVED to amend the main motion to include a letter of request for payment to the mechanical engineer for payment through Mr. Kluge, and asking for a full explanation. Councilman McComsey SECONDED the motion. VOTE ON AMENDMENT: Monfor: Yes Smalley: Yes Swarner: Yes MOTION PASSED. Measles: Absent Williams: Yes VOTE ON AMENDED MAIN MOTION: Monfor: Yes Measles: Absent Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes Swarner: Yes MOTION PASSED. H-8b. Change Order No. 2 - $1,226.00 MOTION: McComsey: Yes Walker: No McComsey: Yes Walker: No Councilwoman Monfor MOVED for approval of Change Order No. 2 for costs to change the finish on the hardware from the stained chrome to oil -rubbed bronze at the Bicentennial building. 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.

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. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED to into non -binding arbitration Councilwoman Monfor SECONDED objections. 80 ORDERED. I-4. City Clerk No report. I-5. Finance Director take Attorney Graves' comments and go with the Ferguson lease and the motion. There were no 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. VOTE: Monfor: Yes Measles: Absent McComsey: No Smalley: Yes Williams: Abstain Walker: Yes Swarner: Yes MOTION PASSED. 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. VOTE: There were no objections to the motion. SO ORDERED. I-6. Public Works Director No report. I-7. Airport Manager 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. J-2. Council Walker - No report. Swarner - Referred to the "To across from the Kenai Memorial Also, there is trash at Third new barriers are needed at the street. Monfor - No report. Do" list regarding the junk cars Chapel. The cars are still there. and Float Plane Basin Road. Also, corner lot at Ash and Fifth McComsey - There is a storm drain on Lawton Drive needing repair. Also the stop sign on Lawton and Candlelight needs attention. Kornelis stated that the stop sign is continually taken down by the public. They will check the storm drain. They will try filling in around it with sealant. 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. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 51 1991 PAGE 39 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. ITEM R: ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 12:22 a.m. Minutes transcribed and submitted by: Carol L. Freas, City Clerk (6/13/91) BICENTENNIAL Ulaye ju-e 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 spur View Drive. I feel sure that Patty Ryan will consider it an honor to have a creek named after him.

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.

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.

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. Sincerely, Kurt E.

Hambrick Regional Manager Enclosures MEMORANDUM TO: Kenai City Council 1791-1991 CITY OF KENA 210 FIDALGO KENAI, ALASKA 99611 TELEPHONE 283 - 7535 FAX 907-283.3014 FROM: Charles A. Brown, Finance Director eqo 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. BICENTENNIAL CITY OF KENAI 210 Fidalgo Avenue Kenai, Alaska 99611 TELEPHONE 283-7535 FAX 907-283-3014 TO: William J. Brighton, City Manager FROM: Keith Kornelis, Public Works Director DATE: June 19, 1991 SUBJECT: Public Works Director Report - I-6 FOR: City Council meeting of June 19, 1991 STP DISINFECTION FACILITIES Awarded: May 20, 1991 To: G & S Construction For: $1,234,000 Notice to Proceed: June 10, 1991 Estimated Completion: December 6, 1991 Design Engineer: CH4M Hill 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. LM Page 2 P.W.

Public Works is presently working on the inspection contract between Mike Tauriainen and the City of Kenai.

Design Engineer: Wince, Corthell, Bryson Inspection: Wince, Corthell, Bryson This project has been awarded to Alaska Roadbuilders and is about to get started. KENAI BICENTENNIAL VISITORS & CULTURAL CENTER Awarded: May 20, 1991 To: G & S Construction For: $1,362,000 Estimated Completion: December 22, 1991 Design Architect: Kluge & Associates Inspection: Kluge & Associates G & S Construction sub -contractor, Jackson Construction, has been working on the project. They have completed the excavation for the building and the parking lot. Approximately 90% of the water and sewer lines have been completed, and 75% of the storm drain has been completed. G & S has also started to work on the building. The basement walls have been completed but still need to be water proofed and back filled. Approximately 80% of the footer and the wall has been laid up. Page 3 P.W. Directors Report June 19, 1991 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 Consultants, Ltd. who in conjunction with B & B Environmental and 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. Page 4 P.W. Directors Report June 19, 1991 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. Page 6 P.W. Directors Report June 19, 1991 VACTOR DUMP STATION The vactor dump station at the STP is about 90% complete. Additional concrete walk and wing walls still need to be constructed along with a slab to catch spillage. The new pump recently arrived and will be installed shortly. LIEF HANSON MEMORIAL PARR - NEW SIDEWALKS 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. CITY STORAGE USING 40' VANS Complete the design and construction of the storage area being built using the two 40' vans as outside walls. STREET REPAIRS Build up with additional gravel and properly drain Davidson, Kiana, Easy Street, Mission, Kenai Beach Road, etc... UNDERGROUND FUEL TANKS Notify ADEC about removing he underground fuel tanks located near the fire station. Dig up these tanks, clean up the area, and dispose of the piping. SEWER DISTRIBUTION Analyze the sewer distribution system with TV cameras. Either by contracting out the work or purchasing the equipment and doing it ourselves. 1991 - HARBORMASTERS CONVENTION Plan for and organize the 1991 Harbormasters Convention that is to take place in Kenai in November.

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.

It is apparent that the efforts to bring visitors to Alaska during the recognized "off season" are beginning to benefit businesses in the tourism industry who have primarily relied on our short summer season to generate enough revenues to carry over into the slower winter months. SOLDOTNA RECREATION GUIDE NOW AVAILABLE The first-time publication of the Chamber, the Soldotna Recreation Guide and Membership Directory, is hot off. the press and ready for distribution. Originally planned as 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.

The "Challenge Cup Softball Game" will take place on Friday, July 26, between the Soldotna and Kenai Chambers. We are looking for a few heavy hitters (and anyone who can catch a ball!) to play on our Chamber's team. There will be a full weekend of activities this year. A planning kit and flyers will be included in the upcoming July Newsletter. PRESIDENT-ELECT SELECTED At their regular meeting on May 24, the Board of Directors held nominations and election for the position of President-elect. John Torgerson (Electrotek/Radio Shack) was voted to serve as President of the Chamber for next year. John served a one-year appointment on the Board in 1990 and was voted in by the membership to a three-year term which began in 1991. He currently holds the office of Vice President, serves as our Chamber representative on the Kenai Peninsula Caucus and has been involved in several committees during his tenure on the Board. u I MEMBER ANNOUNCEMENTS • • The KENAI ART GUILD presents "Kids Summer Art Workshops" Mural Painting - Saturday, June 1st and 8th Silk Screen on Fabric - Wednesday, June 12th Mask Making with Plaster Gauze - Wednesday, June 19th and 26th For more information or to register call Melinda Nelson at 283-9506 or The Kenai Fine Arts Center at 283-7040.

Emily Tracy Berries ! rries rries Stacy Vroman Wild lowers and Jrasses of ,- ,.,sai Peninsa(a 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. - Stacy Vroman N BYLAWS FOR THE KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH N , tr%& EMERGENCY PLANNING COMMITTEE of KEhA�� WHEREAS, the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of"" 1986 (SARA) was enacted by Congress into law on October 17, 1986, and contains Title III: The Emergency Planning and Community Right -to -Know Act of 1986.

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 ($19.93/bbl) bracket fairly well the consensus view on where prices will fall next year. � Oil Price Update Page 1 r r- FY92 FORECAST COMPARISONS Alaska North Slope ($/bbl) Dept.of Cambridge U.S. Dept.

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.

S. Gulf. � Oil Price Update Page 3 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. Total Opec Opec Total Global.. Global Ott Crude Oil NGL/Cond.

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. Excluding the period impacted by the Iraq embargo (August 1990 through January 1991), oil Figure 1 ANS WT.

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. Commissioner Millett Keller June 13, 1991 Page 3 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.

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.

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. Thomas W. Livingston, AIA Donald E.

'ZLEPX ,v L 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. Neil C. Johannsen Director r.
