The budget for Professional Services was an approximation. based on F/Y 1990-91. The new Janitorial Contract was approved for a lesser sum. We need to purchase a microform reader/printer to replace one that was declared not repairable by the vendor. The amount currently in Machinery and Equipment is $1,700 which was originally budgeted for a laser printer. The Library purchased a satisfactory printer for much less money accounting for the unspent funds in this account. A microform reader/printer can be purchased for $4,200 plus shipping.

Commissioner Bannock seconded. Passed by Unanimous Consent 3.

So noted. Commissioner Scott noted that she had requested an excused absence for the next meeting. So noted. MOTION AND VOTE: Commissioner Murphy moved for approval of the minutes as corrected, seconded by Commissioner Graveley. Passed by Unanimous Consent. 4. PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD S. PLANNING 6. NEW BUSINESS a. Land Required for Public Purpose Kim Howard, Administrative Assistant, explained that the Planning and Zoning Commission had reviewed a list of parcels which were proposed to be sold in an upcoming land sale, at a previous KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION Page 2 meeting. At that meeting the Commission had requested that a five acre tract be withheld from a 77 acre parcel, in Mommsen's Subdivision for a park. Since that meeting the City realized they had obtained a parcel of property, of approximately the same size and location as the Mommsen's parcel, through foreclosure. The City Administration brought to the Council's attention that the property shown on the attached map could be retained rather than the five acre parcel selected by the Commission. This would allow the 77 acres to be included in the land sale. Council unanimously voted to pass Ordinance 1414-91 finding that all the foreclosed properties on the list were not needed for public purpose. Administration asked if the Planning and Zoning Commission wished to retain Tract A, Mommsen's Addition No. 2 for a future park? MOTION AND VOTE: Commissioner Graveley made a motion to retain Tract A, Mommsen's Addition No. 2 for a future park. Commissioner Rehm seconded. Passed unanimously. b. Lot 9, Block 2, F.B.O. Subdivision - Request to Purchase Kim Howard, referred to a memorandum to P & Z, which requested that the referenced property be made available for sale by competitive bid. Howard explained that it had taken 2 years for the F.A.A. to release this property and asked for the Commission's recommendation to Council on whether the property should be sold or retained for a public purpose. Commissioner Murphy asked where the access was to this property? Howard responded that the access was through an easement on Lot 3. MOTION AND VOTE: Commissioner Bannock moved that Lot 9, Block 2 F.B.O. Subdivision be sold by competitive bid. Commissioner Scott seconded. Passed unanimously. C. Lease Application - Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIEDA) - Lot 6 Block 2, Fidalgo Commercial Center Kim Howard referred to a memo in regard to the lease application submitted by AIDEA for the referenced property. The land lease KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION Page 3 was terminated by Court Order and the property has been returned to the possession of the City. The building is owned by AIDEA and they are requesting to lease the land. Their intention is to sell the building and later assign the land lease to the buyer. Commissioner Bannock asked if the City would have any input into what type of business the building could be used for? Howard referred to KMC 21.10.030 (5) which states the intended use must comply with the zoning ordinance and comprehensive plan of the City. MOTION AND VOTE: Commissioner Scott moved approval of Lease application by AIEDA. Commissioner Murphy seconded. Passed unanimously. d. Petition to Vacate Ten Foot Utility Easement along northerly, easterly and westerly boundaries of Tract A., Baron Park No. 5, within the City of Kenai, Section 33, T6N, R11W. Kim Howard explained that the vacation would eliminate the utility easement. Tract A has been divided into a larger parcel and the existing easement lines might conflict with future development of this tract. The Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning Commission had already approved the vacation, and the City Council had 30 days to veto that decision. Administration was seeking a recommendation to Council on this matter from the Planning and Zoning Commission. MOTION AND VOTE: Commissioner Rehm moved to recommend to Council, approval of Petition to Vacate Ten Foot Utility Easement along northerly, easterly and westerly boundaries of Tract A., Baron Park No. 5, within the City of Kenai, Section 33, T6N, R11W. Commissioner Graveley seconded. Passed unanimously. 7. OLD BUSINESS a. Comp Plan - Economic Trends Chairman Bryson asked that this portion of the agenda be moved to a work session at the end of the regular meeting. He also requested that item 8: Reports be switched with item 9: Persons Present Not Scheduled. KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION Page 4 S. PERSON PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED Steven Peloza introduced himself to the Commission and explained that he was looking into the possibility of opening a retail business in Old Kenai on Lot 39-A, Dolchok Subdivision. He was considering a small gift shop/art gallery, which would be located across from the Russian Orthodox Church. Because the business would be in the TSH zone, he was seeking the Commission's approval for this development. Commissioner Murphy asked -if the building was part of the historical registry? Peloza answered that the home was built in 1919 and was not part of the registry. Commissioner Graveley asked what changes would be made to the building? Peloza said he would just be repairing and painting the outside of the building and possibly some repair to the roof. Commissioner Graveley asked if there would be adequate parking in that area? Peloza said that there was currently a parking shortage in that area and he expected mostly foot traffic. Commissioner Graveley asked what kind of signs would identify the shop? Peloza said he would install a small wooden sign, possibly on the front of the building. After further discussion Commissioner Scott said she agreed with the proposal in concept but felt that the Commission needed more time to look at the plans, site, etc. She asked that the discussion be carried over to the next agenda. Chairman Bryson asked that the item be included on the March 27th agenda. So noted. 9. REPORTS a. City Council Councilman Smalley reported that the City was seeking funding in Juneau for several local projects, which included the development KENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION Page 5 of two new city parks. One site for a new park would be on the bluff near the Senior Center and the new Congregate Housing Facility. A work session had been held with Carr's representatives, the Council, City Administrators and the Mayor to discuss possible uses for the Carr's mall, after construction of the new Carr's Center is completed. The Council would be interested in input from the public concerning uses for the old mall. --b. Borough Planning Chairman Bryson reported that the Assembly had overruled the Planning Commission's approval of the DEC permit to relocate the waste from the Sterling Tesoro to the Borough landfill. The proposed K-Beach Air Quality disposal soil treatment facility is seeking a permit from DEC before they are allowed to operate. KPB Planning Commission passed the concept of this facility on the consent agenda. C. City Administration Loretta Harvey, Planning and Zoning Secretary reported that the Comprehensive Plan was near completion and that the land use section would possibly be ready for review at the next meeting. She asked that the Commission began considering time frame to present to Council and to hold public hearings on the approved draft of the Plan. 10. INFORMATION ITEMS a. City Council Agenda b. KPB Planning Commission Agenda 11. COMMISSION COMMENTS & QUESTIONS Commissioner Rehm asked for an excused absence from the next meeting. So noted. Commissioner Scott requested a copy of the ordinances that pertain to public purpose land use issues. She also asked for a list from the City of the lands currently available for public purpose. She also suggested the possibility of staff developing an application for use in reviewing development in the TSH zone. RENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION Page 6 12.

Resolution No. 91-8 - Supporting the Development of a New Courthouse in the City of Kenai and Agreeing to Provide a Site for That Purpose. MOTION: Councilwoman Monfor MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 91-8 and Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. Mayor Williams informed the Council that the Judicial System is considering the remodeling of the present courthouse or building KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 20, 1991 PAGE 4 a new building.. Over the years he has discussed this topic with Chris Benedicktsson, Mr. Snowden, and others about building a new courthouse. Mayor Williams discussed with Administration the City of Kenai issuing revenue bonds. Mayor Williams referred to memorandums added to the Agenda from Kim Howard and Attorney Graves regarding land exchanges due to a request for information from Attorney Jeff Jefferson. Mr. Jefferson is interested in exchanging Lot 3, Block 4, Fidalgo Commercial Center (which he owns) for Lot 6, Block 4, Fidalgo Commercial Center (which the City owns). Mayor Williams stated that this exchange would be advantageous to the City and Lot 3 could be used for the development of the new courthouse. Mayor Williams added that he and Mr. Benedicktsson discussed bringing forth a resolution several weeks ago. Mayor Williams has discussed the proposal with Representative Navarre. Rep. Navarre has discussed the proposal with Governor Hickel in regard to capital projects. Finance Director Brown has prepared bond pay outs. Williams stated that there has been lots of background going on about this under cover. Williams stated that the judicial system.is very definitely moving toward this project. They are interested in duplicating the new courthouse in Palmer. There would be four courtrooms and a grand jury room. Williams requested the Council's support. Councilman Smalley referred to the word "inadequate" used in the resolution to describe the present courthouse. Smalley stated that the present courthouse was designed poorly and allowed for lots of unusable square footage. Smalley asked how the present building would be used. Williams stated that the Legislative Office took a survey to see how much office space is rented by the State for other agencies, such as the Recorder's Office, etc. The State would probably remodel the present courthouse and use the space for other agency offices. Councilman Smalley stated that he is concerned that might be taking business away from private enterprise. Mayor Williams stated that the State rents on a yearly basis. If the budget does not allow for rental costs, sometimes leases do not go through. There are no guarantees. Further, the State is now trying to consolidate the budget. He has looked at offices now being rented by the State and does not believe that using the present courthouse for office space will make that big of a dent on the overall market. RENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 20, 1991 PAGE 5 Councilwoman Swarner stated that she did not think the Mayor kept the Council informed of this proposal. She was shocked when she read the newspaper article (in the Peninsula Clarion, March 19, 1991) . Mayor Williams stated that the three lots he proposes purchasing are owned by BROAC, Inc. (owners of two lots) and Jeff Jefferson (owner of one lot). Williams has spoken with one of the partners of BROAC, Inc. That individual assured Williams that he has no qualms to sell to the City. Councilwoman Swarner asked if there is other City land suitable for this project. Mayor Williams stated that if for some reason this property would no longer be available between now and the time of an agreement, he will come back to Council to find another suitable place. Williams stated further that he is not sure what the price of the property will be. Williams suggested that market value is now at $3.25 per sq.ft. or $132,000 for two lots. Williams had no information as to the cost of the land exchange. Williams stated that the total cost for the properties should be less than $180,000. Swarner asked what funds would be used to purchase the properties. Answer was general funds. Williams was asked if the City has sold revenue bonds before. Answer was no. City Manager Brighton stated that he believes that the Mayor is requesting the passage of this resolution in order that the State will see that the City is serious about this situation and in order that necessary stages of negotiation can begin. This resolution is only a beginning. The resolution states "this resolution is subject to land availability, the appropriation of monies for land acquisition, the sale of revenue bonds pursuant to the City Charter and a lease program with the State..." Council would have the right to stop the whole matter. If the money is not appropriated to buy the land, the project ends. Mayor Williams added that they are at a point that something has to happen officially before the project can go forward. Williams is asking the Council to get started. Councilman Smalley stated he believes it a worthy effort and that it would benefit the City. Smalley agrees with Councilwoman Swarner that more information should have been given to Council prior to the newspaper article. Mayor Williams stated that he has had discussions with people over two years. He cannot report KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 20, 1991 PAGE 6 every conversation. Smalley stated that this project is more than an everyday conversation. Williams stated that he did not know until lately whether it was a viable project. Finance Director Brown stated that in order to sell bonds without going to a vote of the people, you have to have a lease with the State that says they will pay rent. That is subject to annual appropriation from the State budget. If the legislature does not make the appropriation, the City is not obligated to make the payments. Even if the City would want to make the payments, the City may be barred from doing so because it did not go to a vote of the people. The bondholders buy the bonds with the understanding that they are at risk. Williams stated the Governor is encouraging greater community participation. Councilman Walker asked what assurances the City has that the cost of the properties and putting water and sewer to the properties will be paid back to the City. Mayor Williams stated that those costs will not be paid back to the City. Walker stated that the cost could be $300,000-400,000. COUNCIL WENT OFF RECORD FOR A FEW MINUTES. BACK ON RECORD. Councilman Walker asked again is the City going to have a return on their part of the investment and if so, in what way. Williams answered no, the City will not get its money back on those costs. However, the lots were sold in 1983. The principals have been making payments. If the City buys the property back at a cash offer, it may pay less than what the principals have paid over the years. Finance Director Brown stated that the City would own the building. At the Palmer Courthouse, the State pays rent which is put toward the debt services. The State also pays $10,000 per month for maintenance (janitorial services, overhead, administrative costs, etc.) The City would receive payments above and beyond the debt. Williams added that it is working out quite well in Palmer. The City could be the owner of the building in ten years for $180,000. Councilman Smalley asked if additional manpower would be required to handle the maintenance, cleaning, etc. of the building or would it be contracted out. Public Works Director Kornelis KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 20, 1991 PAGE 7 stated that with the Congregate Housing Project, the Kenai Bicentennial building, and a new courthouse building, additional manpower would be required. Councilman Smalley asked if the dialogue now is a basis for promoting discussion with the State and City. Answer was yes. Smalley asked if anything is set in concrete. Answer was no. Williams stated it is the first step in a long series of steps before this proposal can be accomplished.

KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 20, 1991 PAGE 14 City Manager Brighton stated that it is important to note how much confusion will be remedied by this agreement. Monetarily it is a standoff. This agreement is good for the City. Public Works Director Kornelis added that the agreement will take a big burden off the City as the City has no way to fix lights. The City has hired a contractor to work on lights. The agreement will remove all meters from the lights with the exception of those on the lift stations. There is a savings to both the City and HEA. The City would pay only one $11.00 customer charge. With this agreement, the City will pay approximately $55,680 per month for about 300 lights. The City has been paying approximately $55,486 per month for 43 lights. With the agreement, the City will not be paying a contractor for street light repairs.

Cost per light is the same for eight lights or 300 lights. There is a bulk savings to the City because a customer charge for every light bill, plus a $24.00 meter charge.

Citizens Father Targonsky: a. Asked what progress has been made in regard to the re- publishing of "The Native, Russian and American Experiences of the Kenai Area of Alaska." Clerk Freas answered that she had contacted a few people involved with the original project. She has heard from two of the persons contacted.

Clerk Freas is awaiting response from another contact. b. Requested that the electric pole situated in front of the church placed on the other side of the road so that the setting would be more historically accurate. He suggested that the pole be placed on the other side of the road and connecting wiring be placed under the road. The church would give permission for them to cross its property to do this. Mr. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 20, 1991 PAGE 17 Rainey, HEA, will discuss this request with Father Targonsky. Mr. Rainey added that he will bring back information to Council at their next meeting in regard to options that may be available. C. Stated that he was opposed to the allowance of the proposed art gallery to be placed in the building across from the church. He believes that is it in the conservation district and not in a commercial zone. He believes it would be very distractive to the church setting. Councilman Smalley stated that the Planning & Zoning Commission will be reviewing the request. The Historical Zone is fairly open. Targonsky believes it to be in the Conservation Zone. City Manager Brighton asked if the junk cars had been removed from the parsonage yard. Targonsky stated that his son is repairing one of the cars and will be removing it when it is running. The other car has been removed. Ron Rainey - Asked if the City can set up a Local Improvement District in order to have bank erosion stabilization done in his neighborhood. Public Works Director Kornelis stated that it is preferable for the property owners to petition for the LID and then approach the City. J-2. Council Walker - Stated that their seems to be money to spend on parks, courthouses, etc., but none for servicing roads. Walker finds this totally unacceptable. Sometimes it takes two days before streets are plowed. The new budget should upgrade the funding for road service, additional manpower, equipment - whatever is needed. If the road services are not upgraded, then they are not being effective for the citizens. There needs to be action taken on roads. Swarner - Asked Councilman Measles for update on the ice rink committee. Measles stated that they are working slowly. They are not recommending anything yet. Cost would be at least $2.5 million. They are considering an Olympic -sized rink. Swarner requested more cost information brought forward with resolutions such as Resolution No. 91-8 (courthouse). Williams stated that cost information is difficult to give due to not having a land appraisal yet. It will be some time before any funds will be spent. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 20, 1991 PAGE 1S Swarner stated that there are sales tax delinquencies in Kenai. Would like the Borough to be encouraged to collect the delinquent sales tax from those businesses. Finance Director Brown stated that he attended a meeting with all the City Managers, the Borough Mayor and Borough Attorney. They discussed the Borough's collection techniques. He receives a confidential monthly report from the Borough Attorney of action being taken. Efforts are being made. The report is available for Council to review in his office if they so request. Monfor - Will not be at the April 3, 1991 meeting. Also asked for update on the customs office proposal. City Manager Brighton stated that due to changes in the federal law, the office was no longer needed for Seward and Homer. The proposal died. Asked Kornelis for more information regarding the bird walk. Kornelis stated that a grant was set up. The Chamber was to provide labor and money ($8,000). The City provided the materials for it. The piling has been placed. The next step is construction. The railroad ties will be placed for the retaining wall. Chamber is to donate the labor to build the wooden structures. The prisoners were going to help, but policy has changed and now they will not be available. The City crews may be able to help or if money is available, they will hire people to do the labor. Monfor stated that it has taken eight years to get this far on the project. Kornelis stated is should be completed this year. Ownership was needed in order for the grant to be awarded. That slowed the process. Measles - No report. Smalley - No report. Williams - Will be meeting with Mark Higgins regarding the Cold Water Recovery School. There are letters included in the packet to and from Brad Gilman with additional information. The Borough is looking at all its taxes and working hard to collect. The Borough is planning to assess the airport building on its value and charge leaseholders personal property taxes for equipment that the City owns. Councilman Smalley stated that the Kenai Elementary School will take $1.5 million to renovate the building. Williams stated that KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 20, 1991 PAGE 19 a vote of the people will be needed to open the building. The Assembly will have to sell a bond to open the school. It will be a year from this fall before it is opened. Williams referred the Council to an AML Legislative Action Alert letter regarding a statewide teleconference to discuss funding for municipal assistance, revenue sharing, school debt and senior citizen programs.

Brown, Finance Director coQ DATE: March 29, 1991 SUBJECT: Quarterly Investment Report; First Quarter, 1991 During the first quarter of 1991, the following securities were purchased by the City of Kenai: Date Type Annual Cost Days Rate 1-8-91 Vanguard MMR $ 150,000 N/A 7.33 2-5-91 Vanguard MMR 600,000 N/A 6.90 2-21-91 FHLB Disc. Notes 1,202,756 181 6.26 3-25-91 FHLB Coup. Notes 1,899,803 184 6.37 Interest rates have fallen nearly all quarter. Look at Exhibit II. The six-month treasury bill discount started out at 6.48 and is now 5.82. This represents a decrease in yield of 71 basis points (71% of one percentage point) during the 3-month period. �-s Of course, the few investments that were made this quarter reflect these decreasing yields. I think most of the damage is done. Judging from what I read, it wouldn't surprise me if rates still go lower for a couple more months. But, eventually, in the next several months, I expect rates to start moving back up. This is why the two fixed securities that were purchased were only 6-month maturities. Unfortunately, the big $11,000,000 block matures in one month, and I'd imagine that rates will still be pretty low at that time. Because of this expectation that rates will be moving upward soon, maturities are being shortened. At the start of the quarter, the average days maturity was 326 days; now it is 267 days. Exhibit I shows the current status of the City's portfolio. The average annual yield of the current portfolio is 8.381% on $27,212,660 invested. At the end of last quarter, the City's average annual yield was 8.677% on $26,519,019 invested. As I do each quarter, I will compare the City's return on investment with specific benchmarks: Average City yield, 3-29-91 8.38 12-week average yield, 3-mo. T-Bills 6.24 12-week average yield, 6-mo. T-Bills 6.38 12-week average yield, 12-mo. T-Bills 6.57 State Investment Pools, January, 1991: Colorado 6.67 Pennsylvania 7.25 Massachusetts 7.43 We still show a significant yield advantage. But, after April 30, we'll be right in the pack with the rest of them. Z`x,4,'6 ,-f -E- INVESTMENTS 365 DAY DAYS DAYS WEIGHTED TODAY'S EFFECT. FROM FROM AT SHARE OF AVE.

In your letter dated March 6,'1991, you asked permission to again use the referenced City -owned lands for the operation of a SONAR counter. The City of Kenai has granted the needed permission the last five summers in order for the Alaska Dept. of Fish and Game to stage this worthwhile research project. This year, however, the City must be more cautious in allowing the use of our critical wetlands along the Kenai River. I am sure you are aware of the newest federal policies concerning wetlands and the increasing environmental problems associated with the use of the Kenai River. The City has been met with great resistance in the recent past in our efforts to secure the necessary permits to construct a much needed boat launching facility just downstream from the SONAR site. Many of the permit reviewing agencies (including the Alaska Dept. of Fish and Game) withdrew support for our project due to concern for the wetlands habitat similar to that of the SONAR site. In light of this, the City must have documentation that the Dept. of Fish and Game has either obtained all required approvals for use of the site, or that no approvals are required. Some of the approvals that may be necessary and agencies to contact are: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Alaska State Park System Dept. of Natural Resources Dept. of Environmental Conservation Alaska Coastal Management Program Consistency Review Dept. of Fish and Game Page 2 March 21, 1991 AK Dept. of Fish and Game Also, enclosed is a City of Kenai Conditional Use Permit Application which should be completed and returned as soon as possible in order that we may schedule a public hearing. This Conditional Use Permit will be necessary as the site is within the rural residential zone of the City. We hope you understand the concern we have that all activity within this sensitive area is properly conducted. Also, we must be cognizant of the potential liability involved regarding unpermitted activity. As soon as all information is received and approved, we may then grant permission to utilize the site. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Sincerely, Willi J.

Ptess releases and/or stories have been sent to 12 publications. These are primarily magazine format publications which work several months ahead of schedule. Our releases and stories were sent to coincide with an April or May publication date: -\The following Is a breakdown of the publications contacted and the estimated/promised date you can expect to see the story in print. Copies of each publication will be sent tome and copies of the stories sent on to you. i Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association Magazine - They have acknowledged receiving the story and say their editors are considering it. We will be notifed at the end of March or first part of April whether they will use the story. , Western Flyer Magazine - The information was sent to Cliff Cernick, the Alaska writer for the magazine. He liked it and is working on a story. He may be calling you or me for more information. The story will be in the April Issue which Is put out at the end of April and usually doesn't get to Alaska until the first part of May \ ;-'Alaska Joumal of Commerce . This publication was sent the business 'leasing' story and it will be used as a submitted manuscript. That means it may come out as an article submitted by me and carrying my byline. I: expect it to be in the March 25th or April 1st issue. There Is a good chance that they will use the float plane story as well, later In the season. Alaska Business Monthly - The 'leasing' story will be a news brief in the May issue of the magazine. Water Flying Quarterly - The float plane story was sent to John Pratt, the Alaska writer for this magazine. I have left messages to try and determine that he got the information and whether the magazine will use it, however, as of this writing, he has not gotten back with me. -more-, 44539 . Sterling Hwy. Soldotn0, Alaska 99669 (907) 262-2664 1 Alaska Magazine- They have. said they did receive the float plane story and are interested in using it In the Ketchikan toBarrowsection. However, they won't know. until' April 1 st, whether or not they can use It., Alaska Air Carriers' Association Newsletter- April Is this group's next quarterly issue and the story will be used then. Alaska Aviation Safety Foundation Newsletter - The story will be in this group's quarterly newsletter due out at lthe end of March. Alaska Travel News - The float plane story should be in the April Issue which is distributed in 72 i different locations. Greater Anchorage Tomorrow - This Is the newsletter for the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce sent to all business members. The 'leasing"story was sent to them and will be in the April issue. Alaska ighway News - They will use the float plane story in the May or June issue or both. They won't know for a few weeks. The New Alaska Outdoors Magazine - This Is a brand new magazine created when new owners took �• over'Alaska Outdoors Magazine.' Their first Issue comes out in June and the float plane story should. be In that Issue. Alaska Airlines Magazine - I spoke with the editor today and she was interested in the story. I will mail � a pre -written story, photos and the map to her this week and she will let me know if they are going to use it. ,• ' ; , On other subjects, The first 5500 of the brochures were labeled the weekend of March 16th & 17th. However, we seem to have come up short about 2000 brochures. At first the printer said he sent all;the brochures (about 8200) in three boxes on the 15th of March and we did pick up three boxes on the 15th. However, there were only 5500 brochures. As -of Ihis morning, he discovered that the other brochures were never printed (although no one told him), because they ran short on paper. So he will have to print more. The only drawback is that he can't get to it until sometime the week of the 25th. There are two choices: mail those that are already labeled now and mail the rest after the second printing, or wait until they are all done. My advice is to wait and send them all out at the same time. The float plane basin Isn't even useable until the middle of May so there is no real hurry. I also think it's advisable to get the information to everyone In the flying community all at once. Please let me know what you would like to do about the mailing as soon as you get this update. I will keep you informed about our dealings with the printer: I will also let you know when we start mailing the stories and releases to the regular daily and weekly media.

Thirty roundtable members will be selected from those that indicate an interest. As you know, handling waste in Alaska is different than handling waste in the Lower 48. Transportation and the economies of scale make Alaska's problems unique. The basic purpose of the roundtable is to offer practical, applicable training for Alaska's local government officials in pollution prevention techniques and to serve as a forum for the exchange of information about pollution prevention methods that work in Alaska. The mission and scope of activity of the roundtable may evolve further, however, depending on the interests of the participants. The first meeting of the group will be May 1-2, 1991, in Juneau. A second meeting will be scheduled in mid -June in Fairbanks. If DEC receives funding to continue the program, four additional meetings will be scheduled in Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau during FY 92. Each roundtable meeting will feature presentations by pollution prevention experts from the private sector as well as from the public sector on topics that will be informative and stimulate debate. Possible topics include reducing the waste stream by managing your office differently, buying recycled goods, setting up recycling programs, developing public support for recycling and recyclables, and disposing of waste in the least damaging way. Alaska local government officials will be asked to share information on approaches used in their municipalities -- both those that have worked and those that have not. For your information, I have included a tentative agenda for the first meeting. You will note that Todd Peterson, Manager of Recycling and Planning Programs for R.W. Beck, will address the roundtable about pollution prevention possibilities. R.W. Beck and Associates is a consulting engineering firm with offices in 13 cities including Anchorage and Seattle. The firm has nearly 20 years of experience in helping local governments with waste management, reduction, and control, including several projects in Alaska. Member of the National League of Cities and the National Association of Counties Pollution Prevention Roundtable Page 2 Bill Ross, President of Ross & Associates, is also scheduled to address the roundtable. Ross, an environmental consultant from Seattle, is a former commissioner of the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, and an excellent speaker. Ross has considerable experience in pollution prevention, particularly in Alaska and the Northwest. I encourage you or one of your staff to apply to participate in this valuable roundtable. The Alaska Municipal Pollution Prevention Roundtable is a perfect chance to learn more about a pressing issue that all local governments will need to confront in the future. To take advantage of the opportunity, please fill out the registration form enclosed and return it to the Alaska Municipal League immediately. There is no charge for participating in the roundtable. Participants' transportation and lodging are the responsibility of the municipality or sponsoring organization. I have tried to send this letter to people who are likely to have an interest in participating in the Alaska Municipal Pollution Prevention Roundtable, however it is likely that I may have missed some important contact. If you know of someone who should be invited to apply to participate on this roundtable, please forward a copy of this letter and the application form. Thank you, I appreciate your help.

Part of the House's strategy involved a desire to get the operating budget to the Governor's desk so that he has to act on it prior to the legislature's adjournment. That way, the legislature will be in a better position to override his (anticipated) vetoes. Last week, the legislature focused much of their activities on revenue forecasts and budget talks. The attached budget overview has been designed to keep you informed on the legislature's revenue/budgetary activities. As you can see, anticipated revenues are now lower than previously expected and subsequent talks involving the capital budget has shrunk accordingly. I hope this information is useful. Should you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to call. Attachment 510 L Street- Suite 210 •Anchorage, Alaska 99501 (907) 279-5350 • FAX(907) 258-3527 OVERVIEW The House moved closer to action on the operating budget this week, the Senate approved the so called fast track supplemental (SB- 41), and the administration and legislative finance leaders reached informal agreement on the oil revenue figures they intend to use in FY 92 budget planning. REVENUE Petroleum Revenue Outlook On March 13, Senate Finance heard views on the petroleum revenue outlook from the Dept. of Revenue (DOR), the consulting firm of Cambridge Energy Research Associates, and the Legislative Finance Division. Handouts provided by the DOR and Cambridge witnesses indicate DOR expects an average FY 92 price for Alaska North Slope (ANS) crude of $16.11/bbl, and the Cambridge consultants forecasting a price of about $19.00/bbl barrel. These compare with an average of about $20.00/bbl expected in both forecasts for the current fiscal year, FY 91. DOR projects the FY 91 surplus, the result of war -boosted oil prices, at $200 million (low scenario) to $630 million (high scenario). Dr. Charles Logsdon, DOR petroleum economist, presented the DOR forecast. DOR expects prices to decrease rather sharply over the next two months, with the mid -case forecast figure for ANS crude in the lower 48 averaging $14.75/bbl for the remainder of this fiscal year, then rising to $16.11 /bbl in FY 92. Over the longer term prices are expected to firm; the comparable mid -case FY 95 forecast price is $20.89/bbl. Both mid -case and low -case scenarios show ANS oil production (including gas liquids) rising to 1.81 MMbbl/day in FY 92, then declining at an average rate of about two percent annually through FY 95. The high -case production scenario shows a slower decline rate. Alaska's general fund unrestricted revenue is expected to be in the $2.63 to $3.06 billion range in FY 91, compared with FY 90 revenue of $2.51 billion. FY 92 revenue is projected within a much wider range: $1.46 billion in the low scenario, $2.12 billion in the mid -case, to $2.72 billion in the high scenario. Kevin Lindemer, associate director, oil markets, and Bob Esser, senior consultant presented the Cambridge report. Lindemer expects the Saudis to remain firmly in control of oil markets, using floating storage to cushion shocks. They see the Kingdom as willing in the near term to reduce production to 7.2-7.6 MMbbl/day but no further. When Kuwaiti and Iraqi production returns to the market, these levels could drop to 6.5-7.0 MMbbl/day. If prices cannot be stabilized at these production levels, then prices will fall. Compared with DOR, Cambridge Energy Research expects higher prices for ANS crude in FY 92. Under the Cambridge view, the average expected Valdez price for the FY 92 period is about $17.50/bbl. The equivalent estimate in the DOR forecasters' mid -case is $14.57/bbl (an ANS lower 48 price of $16.11/bbl, minus tanker charges of $1.54/bbl). The Cambridge forecast handout implies about $400 million more general fund revenue in FY 92 than the DOR forecast. Staff members from the Legislative Finance Division gave general comments on the petroleum revenue outlook, but did not present their own forecast. Informal Consensus on Oil Revenue House and Senate finance leaders and OMB director Stastny reportedly agreed to budget for FY 92 assuming average south-48 North Slope crude oil prices of $20.57/bbl in FY 91 ($14.65/bbl for the rest of the fiscal year), and $16.50/bbl in FY 92. That indicates FY 91 mid -case revenue of $2.826 billion, implying a fiscal year ending balance of about $420 million carried forward to FY 92. Based on a chart handed out by DOR economist Charles Logsdon, the FY 92 oil price implies total FY 92 unrestricted general fund revenue of about $2.190 million, other things such as production levels equal. This is slightly higher than the $2.124 billion recommended by the Dept. of Revenue, but $330 million less than the figure implied in the range presented by the Cambridge forecasters. Big Tax Settlement Pending On March 12, at a Senate Finance subcommittee meeting on the Dept. of Revenue's budget, Revenue Deputy Commissioner Bill Floerchinger, in response to questions from Sen. Cotten, said a "partial settlement of a $500 million [oil tax] case is in the works." According to Floerchinger, oil and gas tax auditors are concentrating on resolving the older "back tax" cases, without falling behind on new cases. Most of the major issues are now moving through the system. The "statute of limitations case," also known as the "Exxon case," is in Superior Court. The other important cases likely to set precedents are still in the administrative process. Tax cases covering about $300 million are now ready for formal hearing. 2 Administration and legislative forecasts this year have not include funds from any settlements of oil tax or royalty cases. A constitutional amendment adopted in November 1990 provides that money from settlement of back taxes and royalties goes into the Budget Reserve Fund. Money from the fund can be appropriated to maintain spending at the level established in the prior year's budget. Any other appropriation from the fund requires a special three -fourths majority in both legislative houses. . SUPPLEMENTALS Senate and House Pass SB -41, Fast Track Supplemental On March 18, the Senate adopted its version of the first of the two supplemental appropriations bills to cover unfunded current year operating costs of state government. The administration had proposed the two bills last month. According to OMB officials, the administration is satisfied with the Senate's $66 million version of the first bill despite differences from the Governor's original proposal, SB- 134. On Wednesday, however, House Finance heard the bill and proposed further changes. Much of the additional funding proposed in the Governor's February proposal and in SB-41 restores funds vetoed by Gov. Cowper after the 1990 legislative session, or replenishes accounts used to temporarily fund vetoed items; for example, the bill covers vetoed educational formula funds, general relief funds, social services block grants (Anchorage and Fairbanks), and funding for local maintenance of class 3 roads. Many other items cover increases in fuel costs associated with the Persian Gulf war (including $2 million to supplement last year's power cost equalization appropriation), and higher health and social service program costs due to higher case or service loads. The Senate bill provides $20.1 million to cover additional FY 91 litigation costs -- $7.6 million for the Exxon Valdez case, $8 million for oil and gas royalty litigation, $4 million for other oil and gas litigation, and $500,000 for legal fees in the mental health lands case. The Division of Tourism would get an additional $2 million for advertising. Senator Kerttula discussed the bill briefly with the majority caucus members on March 15: the bill passed the Senate March 18, with 15 yeas, 1 nay (Sen. Halford), and 4 not voting. An amendment to increase fuel cost assistance to the Kenai Peninsula College was proposed and later withdrawn by Sen Fischer. The bill lingered for a day on reconsideration by Sen. Fisher, but moved to the House on March 19. 3 House Action on the Fast Track Supplemental House Finance took up the Senate's supplemental bill on March 20, adopting four proposed amendments, and moving the bill to Rules for placement on the House calendar on Friday. The amendments adopted by House Finance: . • Reduce the Dept. of Law's supplemental funding for the Exxon Valdez case from $7.6 million to $4.1 million, and change the funding source from the general fund to the Oil and Hazardous Substances Release Response (470) Fund. • Delete the $500,000 for Dept. of Law funding of the mental health lands case. • Change the lapse date on the additional daycare assistance funding from June 30, 1991 to June 30, 1992. • provide $438,000 to the Dept. of Transportation to cover the costs of repairing damage caused by the Healy Canyon slide. Members indicated that the reductions to the Dept. of Law appropriations for the Exxon and mental health lands cases could be restored later in the end -of -session supplemental if justification was provided. Rep. Jacko offered and later withdrew an amendment to increase funding for single/dual site school districts by about $1 million. Rep Navarre suggested that the problem should be dealt with in the context of other education bills. Rep Kay Brown stated her support for an additional $1 million for the tourism advertising campaign, but said she recognized that the votes were not there for such a proposal now. She hoped that members would later consider bringing the program back to where it was before the Cowper vetoes. House Finance reported the bill with 8 members recommending "do pass," and 2 noting "no recommendation." The House debated SB 41 on March 22. An amendment was proposed by Rep. Martin to shift permanent fund hold harmless funding, taking the $2 million from the general fund rather than the dividend fund. Taking the money from the dividend fund was was alleged to cost each dividend recipient $2. The amendment was defeated on a mostly party line vote, 14 to 22. HCSCSSSSB 41, for $64.5 million in general funds passed the House 31-7. Reconsideration is likely on Monday, March 25. 2 FY 92 BUDGET House Spending Plan Takes Shape The FY 92 spending plan that is taking shape in the House implies a deficit at the end of FY .92 (a negative carry forward to FY 93) of about $100 million. The plan assumes average oil prices of $20.57 and $16.50/bbl in FY 91 and 92, respectively. The table below shows the revenue picture implicit in these oil price assumptions: FY 92 GF Revenue Under House Assumptions (millions) Carryover from FY 91 $423 Revenue in FY 92 2180 Adjustments 54 Revenue available for FY 92 $2657 On the expenditure side the spreadsheets being used by members and staff imply general fund spending of about $2,765 million: FY 92 Expenditures Under House Plans (millions) Agency Operations $1,181 Formula Programs 1,117 GO Debt/Other Debt 80 School Debt 129 Special Oil (470) Fund 28 Loans 20 New Legislation 10 Capital 200 Total FY 92 Appropriations $2, 765 With final operating close-outs scheduled for March 23, the House's agency operations figure isn't likely to change significantly. That leaves the formula programs, loans, capital, and revenue assumptions as the major expenditure items available for adjustment. House Budget Close -Outs The House Majority Caucus met on March 19, and the Finance Committee met on March 22 and 21 to discuss and hear testimony on the proposed agency spending plans being circulated by the House Finance Subcommittees. Minority members -- and some in the House majority -- complained that not enough attention was being paid to 0 cutting the agencies' budgets, but there appeared to be little support for a major change in the direction set in the draft spreadsheets. Agency personnel were generally satisfied with their budgets as they were taking shape in the House proposals. Allocations and major actions on formula programs will be summarized next week, after final committee action on March 23. Floor action is scheduled for Tuesday, March 26, with reconsideration likely on March 27. Governor's Budget Amendments Received The Governor's office forwarded the administrations proposed budget amendments to the legislature on March 11, and submitted further suggested changes on March 21. Most of the revisions were technical in nature -- for example, to identify how earlier cuts would be allocated -- or were to restore items already restored in House Finance subcommittee action. As Chief of Staff Max Hodel noted in his March 11 letter, "some of the budget reductions proposed in January...may have been too deep, too soon." In several agencies, program receipts were allowed as general fund offsets. The March 11 package added $35.8 million in general fund spending, of which $30 million was to come from the mental health trust account. The amount of the March 21 package was not immediately available, but it appeared to be considerably less that the earlier additions. Notable in the changes proposed on March 21 were items restoring $4.2 million in program receipts to the Alaska Marine Highway System "to maintain current service levels." Also included was a technical amendment from the Dept of Public Safety, Division of Motor Vehicles, indicating the agency's intention to meet its budget reduction targets by eliminating the "mandatory insurance" program under which driver suspensions were processed as soon as it was apparent that the driver had not shown insurance coverage. SPECIAL FUNDS Alaska Science and Technology Fund Two bills have been introduced that would divert fund from the Alaska Science and Technology Fund to various other non -science purposes. SB-167, introduced by Senator Fischer on March 8, would appropriate $60 million from the fund: $15 million for rural water and sewer projects, $15 million for urban water and sewer projects, $20 million for road maintenance, and $10 million for local service roads and trails. The bill received one referral, to the Finance Committee. HB-222 by Rep. Jacko and seven other rural representatives, would appropriate $72.9 million, allocated as follows: $20 million for road 0 maintenance, $10 million for the a "rural development initiative," and $42.9 million for village safe water grants and engineering. HB-222 was introduced on March 15 and referred to C&RA and Finance. Bradlev Lake Suralus According to information from the Alaska Energy Authority, the Bradley Lake project is now expected to be finished for about $43 million less than the amount budgeted. Half of this surplus is attributable to the state's account, and could be reappropriated. EXTRAORDINARY REVENUES Exxon Valdez Settlement The Exxon Valdez oil spill settlement, if approved, may have material effects on FY 92 revenue. While many questions remain about the terms of the various settlement documents, legislative attorneys believe that the state could receive some portion of $72 million within several months. As nearly as can be determined, this would go into the general fund to reimburse spill related expenses, and would be immediately available for appropriation for any lawful purpose. In addition, the proposed settlement of the federal criminal case provides that $50 million in criminal restitution would go to the state. This money would apparently have to be used for restoration, but the term seems quite broad, such that road construction to open up recreation areas or the purchase of timber land could be an acceptable object for the expenditure. It is also likely that settlement payments could be used for covering damage assessment and retoration planning costs, currently proposed at about $12 million, and scheduled to be appropriated from the 470 fund. It does not seem likely that the other monies to be received from the settlement would materially affect FY 92 revenues. 7 EMERGENCY RESPONSE IN ALASKA This paper describes the regulatory environment controlling Emergency Response to Rescue and Hazardous Material Incidents in Alaska with regard to capital and equipment requirements. The two primary requirements under law involve the SARA Title III (Community Right to Know), and Alaska Department of Labor 8AAC 10.0101 (Hazardous Waste and Emergency Response). SARA Title III is implemented through the State SERC (State Emergency Response Committee) and local LEPC's (Local Emergency Planning Committees). The mandate is to inventory each region's hazardous material inventory, consider contingency plans in the event of an uncontrolled release, and train local responders accordingly. 8AAC 10.0101 provides the standard for the technical aspects of response and associated training. These laws have been in existence for several years. Alaska is making good progress in terms of compliance for the protection of our population as well as our environment. These laws have been focused by the Exxon Valdez incident, however, the applicability and risk go far beyond oil spills. The State is at the point where actual implementation of a response contingency plan in most regions of the state are stymied by the lack of response equipment and supplies provided for local emergency responders. In most cases, the local emergency responders will be the local fire brigades. In the matter of emergency rescue, Alaska currently depends almost exclusively on the military. Minimal rescue equipment, especially for water rescues is not generally available to our fire fighters. Mandatory training is a very large part of both laws. This proposal suggests that a classroom and office be provided at the Kenai Industrial Fire Training Facility to accommodate instruction and training in all aspects of emergency response in connection with existing University of Alaska programs. Alaska has the highest occupational fatality in the nation by a very wide margin. Alaska also has the highest fatality rate from recreational accidents. A great many of our fatalities involve some form of transportation. Until the State can get a handle on a means of controlling and reducing these high fatality rates, a relatively small one-time expenditure can at least help expedite rescue. Industry has spent millions of dollars on their internal emergency response. Our public emergency responders are, in many -1- cases, hampered by the lack of relatively inexpensive resources to deal effectively and safely with modern chemical emergencies. It can be assumed that the railbelt communities may well have to be the response resource for the rest of the state. This proposal suggests a means of insuring that railbelt communities have the minimal material resources to respond locally, and assist statewide. The attached listing describes a conservative estimate of the material support required to provide: (1) An effective Level A (highest risk category) trained response to HAZ/MAT incidents in the railbelt and a HAZ/MAT backup capability for the rest of the state; (2) An effective level of training and material support for water rescue in the Anchorage area, including Cook Inlet and waters surrounding the Anchorage International Airport; and (3) A classroom for the Kenai Industrial Fire Training Facility to enable use of the facility for advanced training in all aspects of emergency response. This proposal represents one-time costs. There are no personnel costs involved. Alaska will find it impossible to comply with SARA Title III requirements for implementation if our assigned response elements do not have the minimal chemical protective suits, breathing apparatus, and tools to respond to a Level A situation. Similarly, responsibility for water rescue and emergencies means little if the basic water rescue equipment is not available to the responders. The 1990's are already being called the "Decade of Compliance." Alaska is doing all it can through the efforts of its volunteer citizens and fire fighters. This effort will be lost if the minimum hardware is not provided to implement the response which compliance with law and regulation requires.

Last fall Congress passed the Native Gruening State Historical Park Ceremonies officially dedicating Gruening State Historical Park were held November 3, 1990. The site includes the cabin that Ernest Gruening had built while he was Territorial Governor. The cabin was where Gruening wrote his book The State of Alaska and was Gruening's listed residence for the re- mainder of his life. He entertained a number of dignitaries who visited Alaska at the cabin and enjoyed retreating there to fish. Senator Jim Duncan, Judge Thomas B. Stewart (Ret.), and Hunt Gruening spoke at the dedication ceremony hosted by the Juneau State Parks Citizens Advisory Board and the Alaska Division of Parks. A nomination of the property to the National Register of Historic Places is being prepared. Interpretive options and uses of the park are being studied. American Grave Protection and Repatri- ation Act (HR 5237) which recognizes Native American ownership interests in some human remains and cultural items found on federal and Indian lands. It also requires a repatriation of certain remains found in museum collections. The law requires museums to inventory human remains and associated funerary objects; further, it requires repatriation of re- mains and objects to culturally affiliated tribes, if so requested by the tribes. The Department of the Interior has estab- lished a grant program to assist tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations in repa- triation, as well as to help museums pre- pare inventories. No. 47 January -March 1991 On the State Scene The Governor's operating budget for FY 92 (July 1, 1991-June 30, 1992) reduces state funding for the Office of History and Archaeology (Historic Re- source Management budget component) by $47,900. The total budget for the office will be reduced by twice the amount because state general funds are matched dollar - for -dollar by federal Historic Preserva- tion Grant Funds. The reduction translates to a 20076 core program cut. There will be 1.5 positions eliminated from the office's core, basic service program; and will be reduced travel and contractual services funds. Continued on next page Alaska's newest state historical park includes Territorial Governor and US. Senator Ernest Gruening's cabin. The park was dedicated Norember.i, 1990. Staff News Stacy Oates joined the Office of His- tory and Archaeology staff in September as an accounting technician. She will maintain the financial records for the of- fice and assist with the never-ending bud- geting process. Stacy transferred to OHA from the Division of Land and Water Management. She has worked in private and public accounting for fifteen years. We are sure that vendors and grant recip- ients join the staff in welcoming Stacy. Mark Pipkin, a graduate student at the University of Oregon, returned in De- cember to work for OHA as an intern. He will be analyzing artifacts collected from the Bristol Bay area. Previously, Mark worked as an OHA intern at exca- vations along the Sterling Highway and -at Thorne River. Advisory Council on Historic Preservation The Advisory Council will be offering its three-day training course, Introduc- tion to Federal Projects and Historic Preservation Law, in Anchorage, Sep- tember 10-12, 1991. The course explains the responsibilities of Federal agencies under the National Historic Preservation Act. The focus of the course is on the Sec- tion 106 process that applies any time a Federal or federally -assisted undertaking could affect a property listed in or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.

Workshop Well Attended Over 75 people participated in OHA's workshop, "Planning Anniversary Cele- brations" on December 1,1990. The par- ticipants listened to Jerry George take them through planning a fictitious cele- bration that did not result in lasting prod- ucts. The presentation was followed by discussion and concluded with the par- ticipants identifying themselves and talk- ing briefly about the event they were interested in commemorating. The Office of History and Archaeol- ogy is continuing to collect information and has recently sent a survey to par- ticipants to begin compiling a calendar of activities. They are also planning a ses- sion for next October at the annual Alaska Historical Society meeting to be held at Haines, that will focus on the Alaska Highway and Klondike Gold Rush celebration plans. The City of Unalaska became A laska'sfifth Certified Local Government in January. The Church of the Holy Ascension, a National Historic Landmark, is visible on the left. Certified Local Government News The City of Unalaska and the City of Ketchikan were approved as Certified Local Governments in January 1991. They are now eligible to apply for pro- gram funding from the federal Historic Preservation Fund that is administered by the Office of History and Archae- ology. Matching grant assistance is avail- able to CL.Gs for survey and inventory projects, National Register nominations, development of design guidelines for his- toric districts, restoration work, and educational projects. Alaska now has six CLGs. The others are the City of Dillingham, the North Slope Borough, City and Borough of Juneau, and the Matanuska-Susitna Bor- ough. For more information about the program, contact OHA. Ketchikan is Alaska's other new Certified Local Government. Preservation Week: Celebrate YOUR Heritage "Celebrate Your Heritage" is the theme for National Historic Preservation Week, May 12-18, 1991. The revitalization of main streets and the restoration of his- torically significant buildings are just two ways in which historic preservation helps to keep our heritage a vital part of Amer- ican culture. This year preservationists are celebrat- ing two milestones: the 25th anniversary of the National Register of Historic Places and the 75th anniversary of the National Park Service. To highlight these events, preservationists are encouraged to find ways to draw attention to as many of their local National Register sites as pos- sible. Some suggestions are to hold events at the sites, give guided tours of them, decorate them, and produce news stories of the local media:= The National Trust has produced a kit with creative suggestions and "how to" information. It contains valuable hints for special events, photo opportunities, and media coverage. The official poster has preservationists — including our own Judy Bittner — waving from Charles- ton's City Hall. This is a great opportunity to bring key people together and to draw public atten- tion to historic resources. Don't miss your chancel Please let OHA know of any events scheduled so we can help spread the word. National TI ust for Historic Preservation Nominations for the Trust's 1991 National Preservation Honor Awards are due May 1, 1991. The awards are given to individuals and organizations for excep- tional accomplishment in preservation, rehabilitation, restoration, and interpre- tation of America's architectural and cul- tural heritage. Projects for which individuals and organizations are nominated must have been completed within the last five years. The next application deadline for as- sistance from the Preservation Services Fund is June 1, 1991. This program pro- vides matching financial assistance rang- ing from $500 to $5,000 for non-profit organizations and public agencies to ini- tiate preservation projects. Eligible activ- ities include hiring architects to prepare rehabilitation feasibility studies for prop- erties, conducting workshops on rehabil- itation, drafting ordinances or tourism plans, designing heritage education pro- grams, and increasing historic site in- terpretation activities. Of special interest this year are projects involving preserva- tion planning, heritage tourism, preser- vation education, and historic site interpretation.

Continued from page 1 Assistance for pre -construction and per- mitting project review will be reduced and the process will be slower. Assistance to local governments to carry out their historic preservation programs and proj- ect reviews will be reduced. Help with baseline research and evaluation assist- ance for the National Register of Historic Places will be less. One of OHNs requests was included in the Governor's capital budget. Funds have been requested to reprint the high- school textbook, Alaska's Heritage. The book is out -of -print, and last fall there were orders for over 200 copies of the book that could not be filled. The second request, funding to encourage planning and commemorating anniversaries of historic events and to provide oversight so that projects of lasting significance are able to be done, was not included in the budget. Members of the Alaska Histori- cal Commission are compiling informa- tion and refining the request. Correction In the last issue, the photo cap- tion for the steamboat Tutshi should have credited Yukon Tourism, Heritage Branch with restoring the boat.
