WHEREAS, KMC 22.05.045(a)(2) provides that the City is to secure a grantee index from a title company prior to acceptance of a note and deed of trust in a sale of City land, and WHEREAS, the language of this code section is flawed in that a grantee index is not a product that can be purchased, and WHEREAS, the City administration is scheduling a sale of foreclosed property and believes that it is unnecessary to obtain title reports and reviews of the grantee index on most sales of foreclosed properties. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA that KMC 22.05.045(a)(2) is hereby amended as follows: 22.05.045 Terms for Financing Sale of City Lands: (a) In order to expedite and facilitate the sale of City lands, the City Manager is hereby authorized to accept terms for said sales and may accept a note secured by a deed of trust for a portion of the purchase price thereof, subject to the following restrictions: (1) If the sale is to a lessee who has placed a lien for financing upon the land or improvements, then the City Manager is not authorized to sell the land except for total cash payment, provided, however, that the City Manager may accept a note secured by a deed of trust subordinate to the existing security interest if the amount of the note thereby secured is within the difference between the fair market value of the land with improvements, and the sum of all prior security interests. The sale documents shall be subject to the same restrictions contained in the lease as the lease provides at the time of sale. (2) Except for property sold by the City subsequent to foreclosure for delinquent taxes or assessments, [P]prior to making a determination to accept a note and deed of trust from a prospective purchaser, the City Manager shall secure a preliminary commitment for title insurance and a review of the grantee index covering the party desiring to purchase the land from the title company [IN THE RECORDING DISTRICT IN WHICH SAID PARTY RESIDES AND ALSO] in the local recording district, and no credit will be advanced on such sale if there are any delinquent liens or unpaid judgments found in the title company report until any such judgments or liens are paid and releases therefor have been filed.

Brown, Finance Director Q DATE: December 27, 1990 SUBJECT: KMC 22.05.045 (Grantee Index) The City administration has been reviewing the Kenai Code and Alaska Statutes in preparation for a sale of foreclosed property. We will be bringing an ordinance and other information to Council soon for a sale that should take place in late spring or early summer. One provision of the City Code that must be dealt with is KMC 22.05.045(a)(2), which says the City must "secure a grantee index covering the party desiring to purchase the land" when a note is taken on the sale. The attached ordinance does three things: (1) It says that the City will secure a preliminary commitment for title insurance and a review of the grantee index. The old language makes no sense; one cannot secure or purchase a grantee index, which is a reference book not a product. (2) It eliminates the requirement of this review in the recording district in which the proposed buyer resides, while retaining the requirement in the local recording district. The review in the buyer's recording district would probably not be very effective and, in fact, is not being done now. (3) It makes an exception for sales of foreclosed property. The administration feels that this is an unnecessary cost and burden when selling most foreclosed property. In many cases, such as for inexpensive parcels, we should ask for cash sales. Thus, there would be no note and no need to investigate the buyer. In other cases, such as for expensive parcels, we should set the down payment high enough to help ensure that as much of the back taxes and assessments will be paid as reasonably possible.

MEMORANDUM TO: William J. Brighton, City Manager FROM: Keith Kornelis, Public Works Director DATE: April 6, 1990 SUBJECT: Trading Bay Improvements Granite Point Extension A very rough cost estimate to extend Granite Point from Trading Bay across Ryans Creek to the site of the new shopping mall would be: Construction $ 64,000 12% Design Engr. 7,600 15% Inspection 9,400 $ 81,000 This would be for a 36 ft. wide paved road with curbs and gutters and sidewalks on both sides. The City has a complete set of engineering design drawings and specifications ready to bid the improvements needed on Trading Bay. These improvements would solve the serious drainage problems of this area and should tie into the Granite Point Extension project drainage plan. These plans call for a storm drain down Granite Point Extended. The Trading Bay cost estimate comes to $247,444 for the basic bid plus $17,458 for sidewalks for a total of $264,902.

KK/kv CITY OF KENAI SENIOR CITIZENS CONGREGATE HOUSING PROJECT 1791-1991 CITY OF KENAI „del CapiW 4 4�ad�„ 210 FIDALGO KENAI, ALASKA 99611 TELEPHONE 283 - 7535 FAX 907-283-301 A January 16, 1991 TO ALL CONCERNED: Please be advised that the Kenai City Council has established as its absolute #1 priority for capital improvement projects within the City of Kenai, the Senior Citizen Congregate Housing Facility. The cost estimate for this facility has been set at $6,900,000. A full study funded by the Alaska State Legislature has been completed. Additionally a broad scope of study was completed indicating need on the Kenai Peninsula for housing of this type by the Older Alaskans Commission. The City of Kenai has agreed to donate one of the most valuable pieces of real estate that they own overlooking the mouth of the Kenai River, with a view of the surrounding Chugach mountains and the Alaska range - including Mt. Redoubt and Illiamna - and the Cook Inlet as the intended location for the project. The City of Kenai has also agreed to furnish all utility service to the facility including water and sewer. The City of Kenai further agrees to assume the operation and maintenance responsibility for the entire facility at no cost to the State of Alaska once the project has been completed. The 1990/91 State Legislature appropriated $3,800,000 towards the construction of this facility. The City of Kenai is requesting an additional $3,100,000 to complete the facility. Page 2 We urge your strong consideration and approval of this grant as an investment by the State in the future of not only its present senior citizens but of all those who will follow in the years to come. With best regards we remain sincerely yours Members of the Council of the City of Kenai. John Williams, Mayor Raymond Measles, Council Hal Smalley, Council Kevin Walker, Council Christine Monfor, Council Linda Swarner, Council Art McComsey, Council ATTEST: Carol L. Freas, City Clerk WHAT IS CONGREGATE HOUSING? As defined in the State of Alaska Senior Housing Report prepared by the Older Alaskans Commission, January 1989, Congregate living is: "large group -living facility, with meals and some on -site supportive services, operated by a non-profit housing authority or private developer...fills a gap between independent living and nursing care; basic services prolong tenants' ability to maintain a semi-independent lifestyle." Proposed in the "Feasibility and Schematic Design for a Congregate Housing Facility for the City of Kenai, Alaska," a 40 unit apartment house will be built adjacent to the Kenai Senior Citizens Center with a covered walkway connecting the two buildings on land donated by the City of Kenai. A hot meal will be served at the existing Center seven days a week. Unlike low income housing, Congregate Housing as proposed for this project would provide housing for the frail and elderly without government occupancy restrictions. Seniors who would normally enter a Pioneer Home, if one were available in the area, would have an alternative presently denied. This project would address the very real need for middle -income and residential care facilities and provides the necessary alternatives to independent living and nursing care. It allows Seniors independence without insecurity. A State grant of approximately $3.1 million would complete the project costs for a 40 unit facility. It is expected that rents would cover all operating and maintenance costs and the project would not be a burden to the taxpayers. Similar to the senior housing facilities built and operating in Chugiak and Homer, a State grant would establish a Congregate Housing Facility for the Kenai Peninsula. 1 WHY FUNDING CONSTRUCTION WITH A STATE GRANT? The Senior Housing Report prepared by the older Alaskans Commission in January, 1989 summed up the conflict faced by Seniors who are seeking residential facilities without occupancy restrictions: "No one is aggressively pursuing the middle -income senior housing market, and that creates a problem for those seniors who desire such housing. Alaska is a small market by national standards and private developers are hesitant to build an unsubsidized middle -income project here -- large enough to be profitable for the developer yet small enough to fit Alaska's limited demand. There also is the possibility that if an unsubsidized residential facility for middle -income seniors were constructed, the market -value rents might be too high for some seniors on a marginal middle income." There also exists a precedent as the Chugiak and Homer senior housing facilities were built with State grants and maintain reasonable rents with a waiting list of Seniors desiring affordable housing. 2 WHY KENAI? * The City of Kenai has made the Congregate Housing Project its top legislative priority. * The City of Kenai has graciously donated the site as well as the water, sewer, and road facilities for the proposed Congregate Housing project adjacent to the Kenai Senior Citizens Center. * Pioneer Homes are located almost everywhere in Alaska except the Kenai Peninsula, yet of the four largest boroughs in the State (Anchorage, Fairbanks North Star, Mat -Su, and the Kenai Peninsula) the Kenai Peninsula Borough has the largest percentage of seniors in relation to total population - and the Senior population is growing! * The proposed location is within walking distance of medical facilities, grocery and drug stores, City library, shopping areas, recreation complex, and municipal airport services. * The Congregate Housing Facility will be built adjacent to the Kenai Senior Center providing access to recreational facilities, small library, sewing room, large kitchen facilities, and most importantly a great social atmosphere. Duplication of services and sense of community will not occur. * The State of Alaska provided a $161,500 grant to the City of Kenai for the purpose of compiling a feasibility study which indicated the serious need on the Kenai Peninsula for housing of this nature and the City of Kenai was the most appropriate place to locate this facility. This study has been completed and distributed. * The State of Alaska has also provided a $3,800,000 grant to the City of Kenai to go towards the completion of the Congregate Housing Facility. An additional grant of $3,100,000 would make this 40 unit housing complex complete. 3 EST-_..ATED PROJECT BUDGET LIVINGSTON SLONE, INC. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. KENAI CONGREGATE HOUSINu BASIC 20 (?)

The following represents what is considered by the writer to be a fair assessment of the positive financial impact that will occur to the City of Kenai as a result of the construction of 40 units of elderly congregate as proposed by the City of Kenai to the State of Alaska. Considerations are given to the following areas and are considered to be conservative in nature. 1. Sales tax impact to City and Borough 2. Economic impact to the local area 3. Number of jobs created as a result SALES TAX IMPACT Forty units of housing rented under the proposal will generate $192,000 in rental income per year at $400 per month per unit. All rentals are taxed at 5% with 2% going to the Borough and 3% going to the City. The following represents the "first impact" of those funds. $192,000.00 x .05 9,600.00 60% City 5,760.00 40% Borough 3,840.00 $ 9,600.00 Since the $192,000 in rental income will in all likelihood be spent within the local economy on such things as utilities, maintenance, and services, the roll over impact at a conservative estimate of three times will bring a secondary sales tax effect represented as follows: $ 9,600.00 x 3 28,000.00 60% City 17,280.00 40% Borough 11,520.00 $ 28,800.00 5 Thus the sales tax effect from rentals alone, using the three times multiplier will be: $ 9,600.00 + 28,800.00 $ 38,400.00 60% City 23,040.00 40% Borough 15,360.00 $ 38,400.00 ECONOMIC IMPACT TO LOCAL AREA With the addition of 40 units of senior housing, the community benefits from the same effect as having 60 new jobs brought into the economy. The 60 figure is based on the assumption that one half of the units will be occupied by singles and one half will be occupied by married couples. Additionally, at least 30 of the residents will have additional pension money from retirement accounts other than social security. All of the residents will have spendable income on an annual basis calculated as follows: 30 RESIDENTS, ANNUAL MINIMAL INCOME Longevity Bonus Permanent Fund Social Security 30 Residents $ 3,000.00 900.00 7,200.00 11,100.00 x 30 $330,000.00 30 RESIDENTS WITH HIGHER INCOME Social Security $ 7,200.00 Longevity Bonus 3,000.00 Permanent Fund 900.00 Add. Retirement 7.200.00 18,300.00 30 Residents x 30 $549,000.00 Total all spendable income 330,000.00 549,000.00 879,000.00 Less rent paid to unit-192,000.00 Net spendable income $687,000.00 L Given once again, a conservative economic roll of three times through the economy we can show a real value to the economy with the above figure of: $ 687,000.00 x 3 $2,061.000.00 The secondary take on sales tax from the total spendable package then can be seen as: $2,061,000.00 x .05 103,050.00 60% City 61,830.00 40% Borough 41,220.00 $ 103,050.00 In recapping the above figures, we find that the local economy should benefit a total of $2,253,000 (including original rents paid), the City of Kenai should receive $67,590 sales tax and the Kenai Peninsula Borough should receive $45,060 as their share of sales tax. NUMBER OF JOBS CREATED IN LOCAL AREA Assuming that 40% of the $2,253,000 would be spent on wages and 60% on the wholesale merchandise that will create the wages we find the following jobs created based on $30,000 gross per job created per year. $2,253,000.00 40% 901,200.00 Divided by 30,000.00 Jobs created 30 One can see by the economic model that there are several variables. One being the rental factor of the project, another being the income of the senior citizens, and third being the roll over factor of the local economy, (three being conservative and five being too liberal in the writer's estimation) a fourth being the amount allowed for wages versus materials (60/40), and finally, the amount assigned to the value per job, ($30,000.00). It has often been said that "what we need is more one handed economists so that they can't say, on one hand, but then on the other hand". I trust that the reader will find the foregoing helpful in the decision making process as it relates to the Kenai Senior Citizens Congregate Housing Project. 7 SUMMARY ECONOMIC MODEL SENIOR CITIZEN CONGREGATE HOUSING 1. Total cost of project $6,900,000 2. Annual economic impact 2,253,000 3. Sales tax to City 67,590 4. Sales tax to Borough 45,060 5. Jobs created in the local economy at $30,000 each 30 MODEL PRODUCED BY: JOHN J. WILLIAMS MAYOR, CITY OF KENAI 8 HISTORY January, 1983 The need for a Pioneer Home is discussed and local physicians write letters confirming the Seniors request. Letters to legislators follow. 1984 1985 Later in the year the current Kenai Senior Citizens Center was completed, and it was hailed as a "much -needed social outlet for those living in the (proposed) Pioneer Home." State appropriates monies for a study by Laventhol and Horwath to determine the need of a Pioneer Home for the Kenai Peninsula. The study indicates that the Pioneer Home should be built in Kenai and provide at least 56 beds of which 26 would be residential beds and 30 would be intermediate and skilled nursing beds. "Current demand for the facility would support 56 beds . suitable site at a location central to the eligible population and accessible to supporting services." House Bill 52 was introduced which would provide for a Pioneer Home in Kenai at the cost of $10.2 million. Seniors organized a letter writing campaign to urge legislators to pass HB 52. 1986 While HB 52 would not pass this session, Senator Fischer obtained funds for a feasibility and schematic design for a Congregate Housing Study which would be conducted by the Lutheran Hospitals and Homes Society. They sought to find what finance model would combine the elements necessary for a successful project: Cost effectiveness Does not duplicate existing services Addresses specific needs of frail elderly (residential) care 1987-1988 A group of committed volunteers formed the "Design Review Committee" and met regularly with representatives from the Lutheran Hospitals and Home Society and architect Carmen Gintoli, to develop a project that would best meet the needs of Peninsula Seniors and would be cost efficient. E 1987-1988 (continued) The "Feasibility and Schematic Design for a Congregate Housing Facility for the City of Kenai, Alaska," was a result of many hours of work. The 40 unit facility was estimated to cost $6.4 million. The Seniors distributed copies of the study to the legislative delegation and sought their support. January, 1989 Congregate Housing Committee meets to discuss means of obtaining legislative support and funding for proposed project and agrees to meet every Monday thereafter. February/March, 1989 Letter writing drive began to convince legislators of support and need. April, 1989 A special representative and Linda Swarner, member of the Kenai City Council, go to Juneau to meet with legislators to discuss the possibility of funding the Congregate Housing project. Senator Fischer thought we might be able to obtain $350,000 for the Architectural and Engineering design costs. Bill Kluge, local architect, agreed that the estimated $425,000 was high and he could do it for $350,000. The legislative appropriation failed to come through, however. June, 1989 The Committee meets to re-evaluate the proposed cost of the project and works to reduce the $6.4 million price tag. By factoring in current labor/production costs, modifying the structure, the proposed cost is now estimated to be $5.6 million. The Kenai City Council votes to push the Congregate Housing project, a Senior housing facility for Peninsula Seniors, as the City's top priority for Capital Improvement money from the legislature. Mayor Williams, a dedicated supporter of the project, promises to continue working to obtain funding for Congregate Housing. 10 September, 1989 A petition is drafted to be signed by Peninsula Seniors who support this project. It will be sent to Senator Jay Kerttula, Chairman of the Senate Special Committee on Senior Citizens and Pioneers and the legislative delegation from the Kenai Peninsula indicating the continue and growing support of the Congregate Housing project. July, 1990 The City of Kenai receives grant number 2/91-031 in the amount of $3,300,000 and grant number 9/91-906 in the amount of $500,000 to construct a congregate housing facility. August, 1990 A new Congregate Housing Design Committee is formed to work with the City Administration on choosing an Architect/Engineer and developing a design for the building. October, 1990 The City of Kenai receives eight (8) proposals from Architect/Engineers to design the Kenai Congregate Housing Facility. The Design Committee makes a recommendation to the City Council and the Council awards the design contract to Livingston/Slone.

The letter of explanation from Councilman McComsey regarding his absence was discussed. Mayor Williams stated that Councilman McComsey has missed the last three meetings (including this one). Mayor Williams stated that in the past the Council has reappointed the councilmember. Acting City Attorney Graves stated that the Charter, Section 2.7 does not include a provision for an excused absence. Attorney Graves read, Section a -7. Council: Absences to Terminate Membership. If the Mayor or any other councilman shall be absent from more than one-half of all the meetings of the Council, regular and special, held within any period of three (3) consecutive calendar months, he shall thereupon cease to hold office. Attorney Graves stated that Mr. McComsey is not in violation at this time. If Mr. McComsey is present for the January 16, 1991 meeting, he will still be a legal member of the Council. Mayor Williams stated that he believes that the Council should have the prerogative to waive absentees by Council. There is no provision in the Code or Charter allowing a waiver for an emergency or councilmember being on City business. Councilwoman Monfor stated that she did not agree. Councilwoman Monfor stated KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES January 2, 1991 Page 8 that if a councilmember cannot make meetings, the councilmember probably should not be on the Council. Councilwoman Swarner stated that the people elect the councilmembers and would want their elected officials to be at council meetings. Mayor Williams stated that the Charter is thirty years old and should perhaps be amended. Councilman Measles stated that a change in the Charter would require a vote of the people. He does not think that the people will excuse absences. He is not in favor of putting this question to the vote of the people. Councilman Smalley asked how past councilmember's absences were handled in regard to summer school. Mayor Williams stated that special council meetings were scheduled. An example was posed. If a councilmember was out of favor with the Council, would it show bias by Council to waive an absence. Councilman Measles stated that either way, whether a councilmember was out of favor, or in good favor with the rest of council, he does not want that responsibility of whether the absence should be excused. The Charter speaks clearly. Councilman Smalley suggested that Attorney Graves investigate what other cities have the ability to excuse council absences in their charters. Councilman Measles stated that perhaps there is a need for special conditions, but as a general rule, he is not in favor. He does not want to determine when it is acceptable to miss a meeting. Attorney Graves stated that any absence counts as it is written in the Charter now. If Council wants to change this, the Charter will need amending. Mayor Williams suggested that Council think about putting the question before the voters regarding authorized excused absences. He requested that Attorney Graves draft something before Spring. Councilman Walker stated that planned vacations can be made to accommodate meetings. He is not willing to change the Charter and does not want to ask. Councilwoman Swarner stated that most of the Council is not in favor of a change in the Charter and does not want Attorney Graves to investigate the possibility. Mayor Williams stated that he would ask Attorney Graves to do it personally for the Mayor. Councilwoman Swarner objected to that request. Mayor Williams stated her objection was noted. Attorney Graves read Charter, Section 2-7 for Council. Councilman Smalley stated he would have difficulty supporting a RENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES January 2, 1991 Page 9 change in the Charter. Councilmember Measles stated that he is concerned if exceptions are made. There is no end to exceptions. If a councilmember cannot make three meetings out of three months, they should not be on the Council. b. Mayor Williams informed Council that he will be in Juneau on January 16, 1991. He will not be attending the Council Meeting on that day. He will be in Juneau with Mayor Gilman to discuss the Helicopter Cold Water Recovery Project. Mayor Williams asked that Vice Mayor Measles preside at the Council Meeting. C. Mayor Williams presented Council with the book, "Going Up In Flames." Mayor Williams believes that the book, along with the Board of Directors for Commonwealth North and the Resource Development Council have a correlation to the appointments Governor Hickel is making. d. Mayor Williams reviewed a memorandum from Clerk Freas regarding a cost estimate from Art at Dean's Printing with regard to the City brochure. The cost for 1,000 brochures will be $4,600, plus $65.00/hour for changes. Mayor Williams believes that there will not be many changes to the brochure. He is planning an insert be printed which will include water and sewer prices, tax information, etc. Councilwoman Monfor suggested that the insert also inform the reader of changes made since the last printing. Such as the addition to the airport, port expansion, etc. Also, upcoming projects such as the Bicentennial Building, the Fire Training School, etc. Mayor Williams suggested including artist's renderings of projects for which there are no pictures. Mayor Williams will talk with Art again. I-2. City Manager No report. I-3. Attorney Attorney Graves stated that he will be out of the office next week on Monday, Thursday and Friday. He will be involved with depositions in the Leigh v. City litigation. I-4. City Clerk No report. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES January 2, 1991 Page 10 I-5. Finance Director No report. Councilman Walker asked what bank Finance Director Brown deals with in regard to the City's investments. Mr. Brown stated that the Vanguard accounts are separate. He uses the NBA Investment Department in Anchorage for the rest. Councilman Walker asked if this work was ever put to bid. Mr. Brown stated no. Mr. Brown added that he met locally with people from another bank. When they could not answer his questions they stated they would have someone from their Anchorage office contact him. They never did. I-6. Public Works Director No report. I-7. Airport Manager No report. ITEM J: DISCUSSION J-1. Citizens a. City Manager Brighton stated that Council needs to appoint Pat Porter as the primary member in charge of games for the Senior Center. It is required by the State of Alaska on the gaming application. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED to make Pat Porter the primary member in charge of gaming at the Senior Center. Councilwoman Monfor SECONDED the motion. SO ORDERED. b. Leo Oberts - Mr. Oberts stated he wanted to inform Council of his plans to sell 600 feet of prime Kenai River frontage and a 60-foot road access to the Kenai Spur Highway to the State of Alaska to be used as a Public Recreation Site multiple -use project. Mr. Oberts presented to Council a map with an attached explanation. A copy has been included in the Clerk's file. Mr. Oberts would like the City's support because part of the property is inside the City of Kenai. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES January 2, 1991 Page 11 C. Father Targonsky - Thanked Council for allowing the Christmas lights to remain up and burning for the Orthodox holidays. He suggested that they not be left up after the 17th if power costs prohibit it. Father Targonsky also suggested that the Charter be printed in the paper so that the citizenry has the opportunity to read it. Then work sessions could be held for citizens to suggest changes. J-2. Council Councilman Walker - No report. Councilwoman Swarner - Congratulated Mayor Williams for having his picture included in the 12/17/90 Nation's Cities Weekly newspaper. Councilwoman Monfor - MOTION: Councilwoman Monfor MOVED to move Cary Graves to the position of City Attorney for the City of Kenai. Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. Councilman Walker stated that he understood that this position is usually advertised. Resumes and interviews are normally entertained before placing someone in that position. Also, that this position is one that is negotiated with the attorney. Mayor Williams asked Councilwoman Monfor if her motion included a fiscal impact on the City under the terms of the motion. There has been no discussion with regard to salary. Does Councilwoman Monfor mean that Mr. Graves be moved to that position at the same salary rate as he has presently. Councilwoman Monfor stated that there is an ordinance in the Code that sets salary guidelines for the City Manager, City Attorney and City Clerk. Councilwoman Monfor added that she feels very strongly that Mr. Graves has proven himself more than once. Secondly, that when Mr. Rogers hired legal assistants, he went for the best. Councilwoman Monfor added that she would not consider hiring an attorney now practicing in the City of Kenai. The previous attorney had conflicts of interest from personal relationships, business relationships, etc. and outside counsel had to be hired on numerous occasions. Mr. Graves has come from KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES January 2, 1991 Page 12 another location and does not have those conflicts. She has not discussed this motion with Mr. Graves. Councilwoman Monfor added that she feels that it is time this subject is dealt with as Mr. Graves has been doing the City Attorney's job since September and it is now January 1991. The salary can be negotiated. If Mr. Graves does not want the position, and if a salary cannot be agreed upon, he can decline the position. Mayor Williams stated that Council was requesting Administration to prepare the ordinance necessary to move Mr. Graves from Acting City Attorney to City Attorney. The Mayor was corrected as the motion was made. Mayor Williams stated that he was not familiar with the portion of the Code in regard to the salary. Finance Director Brown stated that portion of the Code was repealed several years ago. He explained that there were ranges for the pay of Manager, Attorney and Clerk. Those ranges were exceeded and instead of changing the ranges, the Council repealed the ordinance. Councilwoman Swarner stated that she thought another ordinance was passed that when one of those positions was filled, that employee started at a set wage. Mr. Brown read that portion of the Code to which he had referred. Mayor Williams stated that he was not prepared to discuss salary at this meeting. Councilwoman Monfor agreed and stated that was not part of her motion. Councilman Walker stated that he believes it may be inappropriate to appoint someone to a position which was not negotiated and entered a very strong objection to simply appointing a person to a position such as the City Attorney's position without advertising the position. He knows of no one else he would rather have in the position, but has been contacted by several members of the public asking whether this was going to come before Council and if so, they believed that it should be an advertised position. Councilman Walker stated again that he believes the position should be advertised and objects very strongly to putting someone in the position prior to negotiations. Councilman Measles stated that he has no problem with not advertising the position. The position is similar to promoting someone in-house like the fire chief or police chief. Those positions are not necessarily advertised if you have someone in- house that is qualified. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES January 2, 1991 Page 13 Councilman Smalley agreed with Councilman Measles. Mr. Graves has proven himself time and time again in his capacity to represent the City. Councilman Smalley questioned what kind of legal problem the City could run into appointing someone and then establishing a salary later. Attorney Graves stated that if an agreement is not reached, he would assume that he would resign from the job. Attorney Graves stated that he will not be making any exorbitant salary demands. Mayor Williams stated that he had planned an executive session at the last meeting and it was not done because of the absence of two members of the Council. He had no objections to calling an executive session at this meeting and talk with Mr. Graves regarding his desires for salary and Council's concerns and perhaps come to a conclusion at this meeting. Councilman Smalley stated that perhaps Mr. Graves was not ready to discuss these items at this time. Mr. Smalley stated he believed Councilwoman Monfor's motion was in order. An executive session could be set for a future meeting to establish a salary at that time. That would give Mr. Graves time to collect his thoughts and present them to the Council to discuss. Mayor Williams stated that he felt that the question may be divided doing it that way. He personally would like to do it all at one time. He would like to discuss this prior to the motion coming to the floor. Councilwoman Monfor stated the motion was on the floor at that time. Councilwoman Monfor stated she would like to change the wording of her motion to: REWORDING OF MOTION: The Council would like to offer to Mr. Graves the position of City Attorney for the City of Kenai to be voted on tonight and then a date will be set for a work session to discuss salary. Councilman Smalley (who seconded the original motion) stated there was no objection, by the body. VOTE: Williams: Yes Walker: No Swarner: Yes Monfor: Yes Measles: Yes McComsey: Absent Smalley: Yes KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES January 2, 1991 Page 14 MOTION PASSED. Mayor Williams stated that he would prefer setting a special meeting to go immediately into executive session for the purpose of discussing salary. That would be the only order of business. Mayor Williams stated that he felt there may be some things that they may want to discuss privately. January 9, 1991 at 6:00 p.m. was set for the special meeting. Councilman Measles stated that he was not sure that a special meeting should be held. Councilman Measles stated that Council offered the job to Cary and Council now needs to decide on a figure to offer as a salary. Mr. Graves then needs to say whether that salary is acceptable or not. At that point, if there is a discrepancy, another meeting could be set and an executive session could be entered into to negotiate if both parties want to negotiate. Councilman Measles stated that he was hesitant to schedule a special meeting for the sole purpose of going into an executive session. WORK SESSION: Set for January 9, 1991 at 6:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers. Clerk is to acquire a fruit and vegetable tray. Councilman Measles - No report. Councilman Smalley - Reported that he was in Anchorage during a snow storm. He is very appreciative that he lives in Kenai in regard to snow removal. Councilman Smalley asked Director Kornelis if the State can be urged to do better snow removal into, through, and out of Kenai. Director Kornelis stated that he has been calling the State and complaining. Councilman Smalley stated that the street light at Lawton and Tinker is still burning 24 hours a day. Councilman Smalley stated that he attended the Peace Vigil at the Memorial Park. Some of the participants are going to keep their Christmas lights up and burning until the soldiers come home. Councilwoman Swarner - Stated that she will be attending a teleconference on fisheries tax tomorrow. She invited anyone interested to join her. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES January 2, 1991 Page 15 Mayor Williams - Informed Director Kornelis that the street light at Willow and Marine is still working properly. Director Kornelis stated that the light is on his list which has been forwarded to HEA. ITEM K: ADJOURNMENT MOTION: Councilwoman Swarner MOVED for adjournment. There were no objections. SO ORDERED.

Brown, Finance Director cl'-4 4 DATE: January 9, 1991 SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 1414-91, Sale of Lands Ordinance 1414-91, along with its Exhibit A, is Council's determination that certain foreclosed lands are not needed for public purposes and may be sold. Please review the maps attached to Exhibit A of the Ordinance to identify the specific properties. In general, the properties are mostly in Mommsen, Inlet Woods, and Redoubt Terrace. The additional information attached to this memo is provided to inform Council of the administration's plans regarding the sale. By adoption of the Ordinance, you are only authorizing a sale, you are not approving the details of the actual sale that are set out in this additional material. The Kenai Code specifies that the City Manager determines the timing, terms, and details of the sale; Council action is not required for these. However, the administration requests that the Councilmembers read and comment on the General Information, the Bid Form, and the spreadsheet which identifies assessed values, taxes and assessments owed, and the administration's recommendations for minimum bids. The methodology behind the setting of minimum bids is (1) just above the taxes and assessments owed if that total is small relative to value, or (2) a very low estimate of value if the taxes and assessments probably exceed fair market value. Many individuals in the administration have worked on this project just to get it to this point. Any input, from Council or other employees, will be appreciated. 1791-1991 CITY OF KENAI %Old 6212,10" 4 4ia,&"„ 210 FIDALGO KENAI, ALASKA 99611 TELEPHONE 283 - 7535 FAX 907-283-3014 .y of Kenai, Alaska 1991 Foreclosure Sale GENERAL INFORMATION On May 14, 1991, the City of Kenai will be conducting a sale of land that has been acquired through property tax and special assessment foreclosures. All bids must be submitted in writing on the bid form included in this bid package. Bidders may copy the blank form for the purpose of bidding on several parcels. All bid forms must be signed and completely filled out. Any irregularities on the bid form, such as incomplete information, insufficient or inconsistent identification of the property, or lack of signature may invalidate the bid. All bid forms must be sealed, with the required bid deposit(s), in envelopes addressed as follows: City of Kenai, Alaska 1991 Foreclosure Sale Bid 210 Fidalgo Avenue Kenai, Alaska 99611 Bid envelopes must be received by 2:30 p.m. on May 14, 1991 at City Hall at the above address. Hand delivery to Kim Howard or Kathy Lawyer in City Hall is recommended. A public bid opening will immediately follow. Once received by the City, a bid may not be withdrawn. However, a bidder is not prohibited from making more than one bid on a single parcel. A $500 bid deposit in the form of cashier's check or money order must be included with each bid form. A bid envelope may contain multiple bid forms. Minimum acceptable bids are indicated in this bid package. Each sale of a single parcel of $10,000 or less must be paid by cash, cashier's check, or money order within fourteen days of the bid opening. Credit may be extended on sales of individual parcels of greater than $10,000 at 10% annual interest, with monthly payments and right of early payoff, with the following terms: Sales Price Down Payment Length of Note $10,000.01 to $20,000.00 50% of Sales Price Five Years $20,000.01 to $50,000.00 35% of Sales Price Seven Years Greater than $50,000.00 25% of Sales Price Ten Years All down payments must be paid by cash, cashier's check or money order within fourteen days of the bid opening. All recording fees and collection fees (set-up and annual) will be paid by the buyer. Recording fees will be deducted from the bid deposit. In the event that full payment (cash sales) or the down payment (credit sales) is not received from the highest bidder within fourteen days of the bid opening, the bid deposit will be forfeited and the successful bidder loses all right to the property. In this case, the property will be offered to the second highest bidder, who must perform at his or her bid amount within fourteen days, or the bid deposit will be forfeited. This process will continue until the land is sold or there are no more bidders. Bid deposits of unsuccessful bidders will be returned by City check within sixty days of the bid opening. This extra time allows the City time to offer property to the next highest bidder(s) if the highest bidder fails to perform within the designated time. The bid deposits, less fees, of successful bidders who perform within the designated time will be applied to the sales price. The City of Kenai will pay or satisfy all City special assessments (including deferred assessments) from the proceeds of the sale. In addition, the City of Kenai will pay or satisfy all City and Kenai Peninsula Borough property taxes through and including the 1991 tax year. The buyer will take the property with no amounts due for property taxes or City special assessments. All property is to be sold subject to any and all restrictions, easements, or reservations of record, zoning ordinances, and any and all plat requirements and covenants. The City does not warrant that the parcels are suited for any particular use whatsoever. There may be major geophysical hazards, access problems, prior use commitments or easements, difficult soils or wetlands, or other problems that might make any of these parcels difficult or impossible to use. Because of these possible problems all prospective bidders are urged to examine carefully any parcels they are interested in prior to the sale. Prospective buyers are advised that the City does not warrant for its right, title, or interest in any of the properties. Conveyance will be made by quitclaim deed. Prospective buyers are also advised that the City reserves the right to withdraw any or all of the parcels scheduled for sale. Pursuant to law, any or all of the properties or parcels scheduled for sale may be repurchased by the former record owner(s), or their assigns, at any time before the sale. Questions concerning the sale procedures should be directed to Kim Howard at 283-7530 or at City Hall. However, the City of Kenai will not disclose bidding information, such as from whom bids have been received or for which lots bids were received, if this information is known, until after the bid opening. The sale of foreclosed lands is governed by Alaska statutes and the Kenai Municipal Code. This bid package creates no rights for purchasers or obligations on the part of the City. In the event of a discrepancy between information contained in this bid package and the statutes and ordinances, the provisions of the statutes and ordinances will control.

City Manager j City Manager Brighton informed the Council that a request has been made by Mr. Jim Bookey to lease a portion of City of Kenai property which is part of the proposed building site for the { Kenai Bicentennial Visitors and Convention Center. Mr. Bookey will provide access across property owned by his father to the KBVCC. A letter was included as a handout to Council from Sue t'Carter, Executive Director of the KBVCB. The KBVCB stated in their letter that they see Mr. Bookey's project as an overall great benefit to the project. Mr. Brighton added that Mr. Bookey wants to add another twenty spaces to his RV park. Mr. Bookey is also planning to upgrade the existing restaurant and put in a gift shop. The old home will be renovated to be used as a bed and breakfast. Mr. Bookey is not planning on cutting down any trees. Council action is needed to go ahead or stop Mr. Bookey's proposed lease and use of the property. Also a legal description of the property needs to be completed and submitted to EPA after their action. MOTION: Councilwoman Swarner MOVED that Administration proceed with the plans of Mr. Bookey and requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. Councilman Walker.SECONDED the motion. Councilman Smalley stated that he visited with Mr. Bookey this summer. Councilman Smalley stated that Mr. Bookey's plan for the use of the house does not comply with bed and breakfast requirements. Mayor Williams stated the easement is somewhat pie -shaped. Perhaps Mr. Bookey would agree to cutting off the tip of the property and deed it to the City. City Manager Brighton stated that Mr. Bookey is not the owner of that property. VOTE: There were no objections to the request for UNANIMOUS CONSENT. SO ORDERED.

The Kenai Bicentennial Visitors & Cultural Center Advisory Committee has reviewed the request by Mr. Bookey and the City of Kenai for lease/sale of a portion of the proposed building site. The committee feels that the request by Mr. Bookey to expand his RV park as well as turn over a portion of his land to the City for public access would be of great overall benefit to the project. A proposed site plan has been prepared by project architect Bill Kluge that will meet the concerns of all parties involved. In addition, the new site plan will reduce the land acquisition costs somewhat thus assisting in keeping overall costs within line of budgeted amounts. We welcome the private sector's participation in providing additional tourist attractions for our area which will add to the future development of the Old Town area as well as the enhancement of the tourism industry for the City of Kenai.

Graves Deputy City Attorney DATE: November 16, 1990 RE: Mobile Homes The Council requested this department contained KMC 14.20.240 as it relates situated in Thompson Park Subdivision. KMC 14.20.240 provides: research the code provision to a mobile home currently (a) No mobile homes may be installed for use in the City of Kenai for public, commercial, or assembly purposes after the effective date of this ordinance. (b) Mobile homes for residential use may be established only in mobile home parks as permitted in the Land Use Table. (c) Mobile homes which were installed prior to the effective date of this ordinance in conformance with applicable building code regulations in areas where now prohibited and used for residential purposes, may have such use continued indefinitely, except that such trailers shall not be replaced if destroyed or removed. (d) Mobile homes utilized on bona fide construction sites for offices, storage, or other such purposes may be so used anywhere within the city limits on the construction job they serve, but shall be removed immediately upon completion of said construction. Page 2 - Memorandum November 16, 1990 City Council Re: Mobile homes The first issue to be dealt with is whether the structure in question meets the definition of a mobile home under the code. Under KMC 14.20.320(49) a mobile home is "a structure, transportable in one or more sections which is built on a permanent chassis and designed to be used as a dwelling unit, with or without a permanent foundation when connected to the required utilities". On November 16, 1990, Howard Hackney, Building Inspector and I drove to Thompson Park and visually examined the structure. The structure meets the definition of a mobile home. It is a transportable structure on a permanent chassis. It also appears to have been designed to include use as a dwelling unit. The mobile home is not hooked up to electricity. Nor is it attached to any water or sewer system. According to Mr. Hackney, the mobile home is not being used for storage purposes, i.e., nothing is being stored inside the mobile home. Rather, it is itself being stored. While the term "installed" is not defined in the code, under the ordinary use of the term the mobile home would not be considered installed for use. Under KMC 14.20.240, mere storage of a mobile home does not appear to be prohibited if the mobile home is not installed for use. Accordingly, it is the opinion of this department that the mobile home is not in violation of KMC 14.20.240. Council also requested that I look into amending the code to clarify the wording to correspond to the Council's intent. I am somewhat unsure of what portion of the ordinance Council wanted amended.

Municipalities were eligible to participate as well, and the City of Kenai did participate one time, in 1989. During the two other R.I.P.'s, I was successful in convincing the City Council that R.I.P.'s are contrary to good public policy and, in fact, do not save money compared to other alternatives. I am writing this letter to you today to encourage you to defeat any attempt to introduce new R.I.P. legislation this year. At the least, please exclude municipal participation in the program. My greatest concern is that the calculations that determine savings, which are required in the R.I.P. agreement, are erroneous. The municipalities are given no guidance regarding the calculations. The factors that may or may not be included (salary increases, training costs, benefit cost changes, etc.) cannot be accurately predicted for three or five years into the future. Therefore, the "savings" is not real, but an imaginary figure. Now, I have learned that employees who have voluntarily retired under a R.I.P. and are actually drawing PERS retirement benefits are eligible to draw unemployment insurance benefit payments as well. Because the City of Kenai is on a direct reimbursement basis for unemployment insurance, City taxpayers will have to pay a former employee unemployment benefits while he is drawing PERS. This is after our City taxpayers became indebted to PERS in the amount of $20,727 to give this employee the privilege of participating in the R.I.P. I doubt that this is how the State Legislature intended to use the taxpayer's money. The knowledge that a R.I.P. retiree could draw unemployment benefits was not communicated by the State to the municipalities, was not factored into "savings" calculations, and is another example of how the "savings" is an invalid figure. Honorable Mike Navarre Page Two January 10, 1991 In conclusion, I respectfully request that you: 1) Oppose any new R.I.P. legislation, especially as it may allow municipalities to participate, and 2) Review the statutes or regulations that allow a PERS retiree to draw unemployment benefits.

Skogstad, Assembly President and Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly 144 North Binkley Street Soldotna, Alaska 99669 Dear Mr. Skogstad and Assemblymembers: The City of Kenai opposes Kenai Peninsula Borough Ordinance No. 91-1 and requests that the Assembly defeat the ordinance. Ordinance 91-1 would treat rent of harbor slip spaces differently from other rents in that harbor slip rent would be exempt from the monthly calculation of sales tax provided for in KPB 5.18.430(a). The City of Kenai has no harbor rentals that would be applicable to this ordinance. However, the City is the lessor of approximately ninety parcels of commercial real estate. We calculate sales tax based upon a maximum tax of $25.00 per month, even if the rent is paid annually. I believe that if the Borough exempts one type of rent from the monthly calculation, other renters and lessees will expect similar treatment. I expect that the Assembly would soon be confronted with requests for exemption by renters of commercial real estate, soon to be followed by renters of residential real estate. How will the Assembly justify limiting the exemption to only one class of renter? The City of Kenai requests that you defeat Ordinance No. 91-1 based upon its lack of equitable application of the sales tax to all taxpayers, and the resulting loss of revenue to the City if the code provision is applied to all taxpayers. Sincerely, Charles A. Brown Finance Director Introduced by: Anderson Date: January 8, 1991 Hearing: February 5, 1991 Vote: Action: KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH ORDINANCE 91-1 AMENDING THE KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH SALES TAX CODE TO PROVIDE FOR ANNUAL COMPUTATION OF MUNICIPAL HARBOR SLIP RENTALS WHEREAS, the Borough sales tax code at KPB 5.18.430 provides that borough and city sales tax on payment of rent for real or personal property is calculated on a monthly basis, regardless of how the rent is actually billed or paid, for the purpose of computing the maximum tax; and WHEREAS, it is desirable to amend the code to provide that rent payments on municipal harbor slip rentals would be calculated, for purposes of the maximum tax, based on how the municipality bills and collects the tax; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH: Section 1. That KPB 5.18.430(A) is amended to read as follows: 5.18.430 Maximum tax. The tax shall be applied only to the first $500.00 of each separate sale, rent or service transaction. A. The payment of gent, whether for'real or personal property, in excess of $500.00 and for more than one month, shall be treated as several separate transactions covering the rental/lease for one month each; except for rentals of municipal harbor slip spaces, which shall be calculated on how the municipality bills and collects the rent, whether monthly, quarterly or annually. section 2.

Hickel Governor, State of Alaska P.O. Box A Juneau, AK 99811 Re: Congregate Housing Dear Governor Hickel: The City of Kenai has pursued the acquisition of a Pioneer Home for the Kenai Peninsula over the past six years. The Legislature has indicated that they will no longer fund Pioneer Homes because of the ongoing maintenance and operation of those facilities at State expense. Therefore, the City Council of Kenai has altered their proposal to seek funding for a congregate housing project as a solution to the senior citizen housing problem on the Kenai Peninsula. During the last Legislative session, $3.8 million was appropriated towards this project and another approximately $3 million will be required to fully fund the construction. This project is the City of Kenai Council's Number One capital priority and it is to service the entire central Kenai Peninsula. I would -like to emphasize that the City of Kenai has made a substantial commitment to this undertaking - the purchase and dedication of the land required, the supplying of water, sewer, streets and other necessary utilities and improvements at an estimated cost of $500,000. Additionally, the City has pledged to absorb the future costs of operating and maintaining the facility with no further costs to the State. It is the City of KenaiiIs intent that once our congregate housing project is completed, there will be no future costs to the State of Alaska and any costs will be assumed by the City of Kenai. It is the City Council's hope that you will look with favor upon this project since there are no Pioneer Homes on the Kenai Peninsula, the largest populated area in the State of Alaska without a Pioneer Home, and that you, as Governor, will request $3.1 million in the Governor's Capital Budget to complete this project. The Council feels comfortable with making this request from the Governor's office because the project is an area wide project and not singularly limited to the City of Kenai. If you or your staff have any questions about this project, please do not hesitate to contact me or Mayor John J. Williams. Let me close by saying that the Mayor and Council of Kenai wish you success during the next four years. The City of Kenai and its Council are looking forward to working with you on any matter that will benefit the citizens of the State of Alaska. Sincerely, Wm.

An Annual Polar Bear Jump —Off Festival January 18 — 20 Seward, Alaska Touted as the most exciting event to take place in the State of Alaska during the month of January, the annual Seward Polar Bear Jump -Off Festival is slated for January 18 through 20. The festival serves two very important purposes - It is a winter carnival geared to provide fun and excitement, and more importantly, it is a fundraiser for non-profit organizations and the Alaska Division of the American Cancer Society. Each year between 15 and 25 brave souls collect pledges to jump into the Bay. The jumpers dress in crazy costumes and take a plunge into the chilly water of Resurrection Bay. Nanook Awards are given to the jumpers collecting the most money prior to the plunge and 1st through 3rd place prizes are awarded to the jumpers with the best costumes. Activities held during the event will include the Seward Polar Bear Jump -Off Basketball Tournament, Tsunami Swim Club Meet, a Seafood Feed featuring the "Tall Tales" Contest, a 299-yard Nanook Dash, Dog Weight- Pulling Contest, "Slush -Mush" Sled Dog Race, Ice Bowling, Parade, Auction and much more. A new feature will be the Polar Bear Festival Exposition, showcasing Kenai Peninsula communities and special events, to be held January 19 from 11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. in the Frontier Restaurant Banquet Room. Many peninsula communities and organizations have already signed up to participate. If you are interested, contact Don Sutherland at 224-5230 or Marilyn Reynolds at 224-3886. Items are also being sought for the auction to take place the evening of January 19.

BYRON BIRDSALL TO JUDGE l� The spring juried art show is coming, so get right to work because well known artist Byron Birdsall has agreed to be the juror for this years exhibit. MARBLING, QUILTING ANYONE? "Marbling & Quilting" techniques are the focus of February's workshop. Led by Linelle McIntire, a variety of subjects will be covered during her February 22 and 23 visit to Kenai. Two workshops and a lecture are planned. Quilting patterns designed to fit invites beginning to advanced quilters. Come hear Linelle's "A Whack on the Head" lecture to generate new attitudes towards the creative process. Suitable for all artists, this talk admittedly has a slightly 'quilty' bend. Marbling on fabric, paper, tennis shoes or small clothing items is yet another offering by Linelle for February 23rd. The process transfers "floated paint" onto fabric. Participant fees range from $10 to $30 depending on the topic and materials costs. ANNUAL FAIR HUGE SUCCESS Net proceeds of $4,660 were received from the annual event. Many thanks to the organizing committee for an efficient, thorough job on the show. Barb Hultberg and Billie Huddleston co-chaired the committee with Peggy Thompson and Mae Hughes. Traditionally the funds have been used for scholarships.

We hope that this letter will answer many of your questions and help you understand our organization. No funds from the City of Kenai were utilized in the purchase of promotional items for the Bicentennial. All costs of items were covered from special fund raising sources. Additionally, I can assure you there was nothing irregular about any business transactions made by our organization. We have done business with several of the local advertising/specialty representa— tives in the Central Peninsula area and generally try to pass the business around. Most likely, your business will be able to provide us with service some time during this Bicentennial year. Mr. Blake Johnson of Peninsula Advertising made several presentations to our office and we purchased some one—time sales promotional items. However, the Board of Directors prefer that we utilize private businessses for sales of Bicentennial specialty items. For example, Mr. Charles Johnson of Nikiski is independently marketing Bicentennial belt buckles, embroidered logos, and hats. We would encourage you to contact businesses who might wish to promote Kenai's 200th anniversary and Bicentennial celebration as part of their advertising plan. We hope that the above will respond to your concerns and we look forward to working with you in the future. Sincer , Robert F. Williams, President Board of Directors RFW:sc CC: Mayor John J.

Finally I went in to see and was quite surprised at what I saw. , It is obvious that you spent thousands of dollars of the city',s money on advertising specialty items with a brand new firm that just started while not even looking at what I have even though I have been selling advertising specialty products in the area for over 14 years. I cannot help but wonder .."Why?" In many areas, most infact; when an important government official spend_4ots of the , people's money with out getting competitive bids, it is because the lucky firm is giving some sort of kickback to the government official. I arp not saying that this is happening, but I intend to find out why you are not interested in seeing products of anyone but this one firm and why you are not interested in competitive bids. I intend to follow this up because it just is not fair. I will contact anyone I have to to get to the bottom of this. Sincerely, Z Esther Rhines 217 Second Street, Suite 200 ■ Juneau, Alaska 99801 ■ Tel (907) 586-1 The Honorable Walter J. Hickel Governor of Alaska Post Office Box A Juneau, Alaska 99811 Dear Governor Nickel: tiJ��6` s s,�, >� M December 10, 1990 Again, congratulations on your election. On behalf of the Board of Directors, the staff, and the membership of 125 municipalities, I look forward to working with you, Bill Overstreet, your Municipal Liaison, and the rest of your administration and offer the assistance of the Alaska Municipal League in any appropriate way. As a way of introduction, I have outlined below a few key municipal issues for your consideration in appointing a Commissioner of Community and Regional Affairs and for working with municipalities. I have also enclosed a copy of the AML's legislative priorities for 1991. Judging from your responses to the AML Gubernatorial Candidates survey (excerpts enclosed) and your appointment of a respected former municipal official, Bill Overstreet, as your Municipal Liaison, I look forward to your support of strong local government and a good working relationship with the state as an equal partner providing services to Alaskans. Role of the Department of Community and Regional Affairs - The Department must be a strong advocate of municipalities within the state administration. As mentioned above, the state must work with municipalities, cities, boroughs and unified municipalities, as an equal partner to provide needed services in the most efficient and cost-effective manner. Often, this means locally, but the state must assist municipalities by providing financial assistance from state revenues and broad statutory authority for municipalities to respond to local situations. AML as the local government contact - The AML, as a representative body with an elected Board of Directors, can assist you and your administration as a sounding board on possible changes to state policy affecting communities; and, I encourage you and all state departments to do so. Mandates - The trend within the intergovernmental arena has been to shift the responsibility and the cost of providing services to the public down to another level of government, specifically, to balance budgets and avoid political heat, but under the auspices of greater local control. In dealing with declining oil revenues, I encourage you not to continue the process of continuing and increasing public services, which have traditionally been, or should be, provided by the federal government and shifted to the state or by the state, merely by shifting the responsibility to the local Member of the National League of Cities and the National Association of Counties Governor Walter J. Hickel December 10, 1990 Page 2 government without funds and without the local decision to provide the services with local revenue. Environmental regulation deserves special mention in terms of increased responsibility and cost. Local government as a partner - This is mentioned above and repeated for emphasis. Local governments officials are elected by our citizens to provide for their collective needs just as they are at the state level, and local governments must be recognized by the state as partners in providing public services, not as a special interest group. Clarification of roles and responsibilities - As this state has grown and had the benefit of significant oil revenues, little attention has been paid to the proper role of government, the identification and prioritization of basic public services, the proper level of government to provide and pay for these services, and the proper means of paying for the service. As indicated in the League°s 1991 legislative priorities enclosed, the League is ready to take the lead in developing policy in this area and is looking for cooperation and financial assistance from the state. If and when we must cut or reduce government services to the public to seek that balance between what services the public wants and for which they are willing to pay, we must cut from the bottom of a prioritized list of services and ensure that we continue to provide an adequate level of basic and constitutionally mandated services. Operations versus capital - With a small population but with many needs as a young state, Alaska has many capital needs. Blessed with significant oil revenues, the state has been able to build a great amount of infrastructure; however, there is a greater cost over the long term of that capital investment from its operations and maintenance. Future state budgets, especially those potentially inflated from periodic windfalls due to oil price fluctuations, must focus on operating and maintaining existing programs and facilities before adding or building any but the most critical new programs or facilities. This includes assisting municipalities finance the operations and maintenance of programs and facilities at the local level. After all, taxes or other revenues from public resources, whether collected by the state or the local government, are still taxes or other public funds. Existing debt - The state must recognize its obligations under statute in developing its budget. Many of the entitlement programs on the books are under funded, including state reimbursement of municipal school construction debt, the school foundation formula, reimbursement of senior citizens property tax exemptions, and the State Revenue Sharing program. In particular, the state must meet its obligations to the local taxpayers who approved local school construction bond issues under the assumption the state would meets statutory obligations to reimburse portions of that debt under Title 14. It was with the understanding that existing debt would be Governor Walter J. Hickel December 10, 1990 Page 3 retired according to statute, the League and its members supported HB 37, the legislation which passed last year ending the state reimbursement program in lieu of a priority grant program. Municipal assistance and revenue sharing - Two programs critical to municipalities are the Municipal Assistance and Revenue Sharing, and other shared tax, programs. Rather than viewing these programs as sharing any "state" revenue "left over" with municipalities, the AML considers these programs as effective and efficient redistribution mechanisms to return revenues collected by the state from the development or use of public resources back to the public where governmental services are being provided. Unfortunately, the funding levels of the Municipal Assistance and Revenue Sharing programs have declined disproportionately when compared to the overall state budget; they have declined by over 35 percent since 1986. I urge you to support funding of these programs as a fair redistribution mechanism for public funds and as critical to the continued operation of many of our smaller municipalities which have to meet significant statutory responsibilities but which have small local tax bases. For your information I have enclosed a copy of a 1989 article I wrote for "The Alaska Public Affairs Journal" and a brochure on the AML. I hope these comments are helpful to you and your new administration. Again, on behalf of the AML Board, staff, and membership, congratulations and we look forward to being asked to assist you in any way we can for the people and state of Alaska.

Alaska 99801 ■ Tel (907) 586-1325, Fox (907) 463-5e6: 1991 MUNICIPAL LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES Alaska Municipal League As identified by the Alaska Municipal League Board, the top priorities of Alaska's municipalities for the 1991 legislative session are: - Passage of a supplemental appropriation to restore cuts of $81 million in FY 91 operating funds, including $10 million in school foundation funding, $13 million in school debt reimbursement, and $3.6 million in Municipal Assistance, and cuts in state funds required to match federal dollars for capital projects - Creation of a task force to study and recommend appropriate roles and responsibilities of the federal, state, and local governments to deliver and finance priority public services to Alaskans J - Resolving the Mental Health Trust Lands dispute in 1991 in a fair and equitable manner and providing clear title to all mental health lands which have been patented to, approved for patent to, or selected by municipalities. _ - Passage of legislation to establish a direct rebate program to replace the current Senior Citizens/Disabled Veterans Property Tax Exemption Program, a state - mandated program that places a burden on municipalities to fund over 70 percent of the exemptions (over $6.5 million for FY 91) - Passage of legislation that would establish a program to reimburse municipalities for oil/hazardous substance spill cleanup efforts (per SB 359 in 1990 session) - Funding of the Municipal Assistance program at the FY 90 level of $52,747,000 and the Revenue Sharing program at a level high enough ($41,472,000) to implement the statutory increase in minimum entitlement levels passed by the 1990 Legislature in HB 101 - Full funding of the Education Foundation Formula - Full funding of entitlement for reimbursement of existing school construction debt - Funding for new school construction under the school construction grant program established in 1990 by HB 37 - Full funding for operations and maintenance of basic statewide facilities, e.g., roads, ferries, airports, hospitals, etc. hlemCer of the Nctionci Lecgue of Cities cnd the Notioncl Association of Counties - In September the Alaska Municipal League requested gubernatorial candidates to respond to the following questions; the following are those submitted by Governor Hickel. Alaska Municipal League Gubernatorial Candidate Responses What options would you pursue to finance state operations, services, and programs to serve Alaskans in a time of declining revenues and increasing costs? Please be specific in your response to the following options: a. Do you support cutting the state operating budget? If so, please be specific in identifying which programs, positions, and "fat" you favor eliminating or reducing to do SO. We support reducing the cost of state government by 7.5% every year until we are able to operate government on the more traditional revenue base of fees, taxes, lease payments, etc. We will reduce, as a part of the overall reduction in cost of State government, 20% of the cost of management within two years starting with the Executive Branch. We anticipate realizing some additional savings from operating cost reductions in the Legislative Branch as well. Those programs mandated by our State Constitution will provide the basis for rebuilding our state government. We will examine management and service efficiencies within these program areas first to ensure responsible use of public funds and then begin a systematic review of all other programs over the next six months. b. Do you support the use of the earnings reserve of the Alaska Permanent Fund to fund state government or state programs, including education and aid to municipalities? We do not support the use of Permanent Fund earnings for the operation of state government. These earnings must be used to continue inflation proofing the fund and all other earnings should go directly to dividends. This will help stimulate our economy and if the recipients choose the dividend could be paid quarterly helping extend this economic impact across the entire year rather than only in one quarter. C. Do you support the reimposition of a state personal income tax to support state government operations or state programs? We do not support, nor do we see the need for, the reimposition of a state personal income tax. The people of Alaska must first be convinced that all existing funds collected and expended by our State are done so in a cost responsible manner before we consider any change in tax programs. d. Do you support reducing or eliminating state pass -through or entitlement programs? If so, which ones and why? Examples of state pass -through or entitlement programs are: Municipal Assistance, Revenue Sharing, Education Foundation Formula, Pupil Transportation Funding, School Construction Debt Reimbursement, Senior Citizens/Disabled Veterans Property Tax Exemption Program, Longevity Bonus, Power Cost Equalization, Aid to Families with Dependent Children, Medicaid, Public Assis- tance, and Other Health Programs. The more money the State puts back into local communities the better. We support the continuation of pass -through and entitlement programs, however we will review them to ensure the funds are used responsibly for local services and not bureaucratic excesses. 2. The State of Alaska has enjoyed a period of unique wealth from oil revenues and its citizens have benefitted from a high level of government services and a low state and local tax burden. Local governments have and will continue to finance the increasing costs and levels of services with locally generated revenue or reductions in programs and services. Costs and levels of service have increased because of decreases in federal and state financial assistance, increases in responsibilities due to federal and state mandates, and/or increases in the desired level of local service. However, municipalities are increasingly concerned that as oil revenues decline and the state government needs to meet state revenue shortfalls the State will continue to shift responsibilities, liabilities, and the costs of providing essential services to local governments without providing funding or allowing citizens to choose to provide the services or take on the responsibilities. Do you support state mandates on local government? Who should fund these mandates? Do you support local determination of what services will be provided locally, and at what level? We do not generally support state mandates on local government. Any state mandate must be funded by the State. We support local determination of what services will be provided locally and at what level. 3. One under -funded state mandate on local government is the Senior Citizens and Disabled Veterans Property Tax Exemption program. Begun in 1973, the program exempts senior citizens and disabled veterans from paying local property taxes. The State is obligated by statute to reimburse municipalities for this loss of local revenue, but as the program costs have grown the Legislature has not appropriated funds to do this. The cost of the tax exemption has grown to an estimated $9,600,000 in FY 91, of which the State will reimburse less than 29 percent to municipalities. Municipalities have repeatedly asked the Legislature to fully fund the program, repeal it, or amend the program to tie the level of exemption to the level of state funding. AA11. Special Bulletin - Gubernatorial ResponceS prt'e October 1 Z 1990 Do you support full state funding for the Senior Citizens/Disabled Veterans Property Tax Exemption program? Do you support repealing or amending the program. If you support a change in the program, what type of change would you support? We support state funding for the Senior Citizens/Disabled Veterans Property Tax Exemption program. 4. The Municipal Assistance and Revenue Sharing Programs are two state pass -through or entitlement programs important to municipalities. Funding for these programs has been cut by over 35 percent since 1985. Local governments regard Municipal Assistance and Revenue Sharing as entitlements and as a mechanism to facilitate redistribution of revenues collected by the State from public resources so that local governments can provide essential services within municipalities; in some cases, these are services the State provides outside municipal boundaries. Do you agree with the concept of a redistribution mechanism as stated above? Do you support maintaining or increasing the funding levels of Municipal Assistance and Revenue Sharing? We agree with the redistribution mechanism and support maintaining the funding percentages of state revenue to Municipal Assistance and Revenue Sharing. As state revenues decline and we are successful in trimming the overall costs of state government, we will support the overall percentage of state revenue to local government being maintained. 5. In 1990, the Legislature approved a change in the method of financing construction of local public schools in Alaska. Instead of promising to reimburse municipalities for a percentage of the principal and interest on new general obligation bonds sold locally for school construction, the State has set up a grant program to finance the entire cost of priority schools it approves for construction. The priorities are: 1) avert imminent danger; 2) unhoused students; 3) protect existing structures; 4) correct major building code deficiencies; 5) achieve operating cost savings; 6) modification or rehabilitation to improve instructional program; and 7) meet instructional and program needs not meet by categories above. Do you support the school construction grant program? What level of funding do you support? Do you support state reimbursement of the full entitlement for existing debt incurred before the grant program legislation passed? Describe any other mechanism you support to finance future school construction. We support the school construction grant program. 100%. We support reimbursement of the entitlement of existing debt incurred before the grant program legislation was passed, however payment will be based on the same seven priorities and phased over a number of years. .011.

Passage of legislation amending the Senior Citizens/Disabled Veterans Property Tax Exemption Program to make it a direct state rebate program (the amount of tax benefit would be tied to the amount of state funding). Support. Passage of legislation establishing a program to reimburse municipalities out of the Oil and Hazardous Substance Release Response Fund for oil and hazardous substance spill response and cleanup efforts. Support. j. Passage of legislation revising the motor vehicle tax rates in statute to reflect present- day values and greater equity in municipal taxation of vehicles compared to other forms of personal property.

Native villaecs, man, of %%hich have now been incorporated under state law, existed Ion,-, before that. Communities formed and ­ re,v to meet the collective needs of Alas- kans before the state and federal ,ovem- ments were on the scene, and the, continue to exist to meet these needs. To cut off a large share of the resources our municipali- ties use to provide essential services to Alaskan citizens because one easy source of revenue for the state is shrinkin, is illo-i- cal. The needs remain, and the services will need to he provided in some way. In the ab- sence of functionin municipal govern- ments, the state will have to meet the needs of its citizens directly, and at a his -,her cost because of the size and diversity of Alaska. In the debate over the FY 90 budget during the last le,islatiye session, le-isla- tors perceived the public hue and cry as ­Cu t Government! Don't raise taxes!" When le�_islators were faced with a potential bud_et shortfall of SSt)0 million, according to early revenue estimates. they held state- wide public meetings to substantiate the thesis that what the public wanted was to cut government and not raise taxes. The outcomes of some of the meetings did sup- port this thesis, but the turnout, participa- tion, and structure of the meetings were less than satisfactory in objective terms, and the messa_es to legislators from the "public" process were mixed. There was little or no substantive discussion on where and how such cuts should take place, let alone public consensus on what services to cut. The question is: Does the slogan. "cut government, don't raise taxes" mean cut state and/or local government programs? Does it mean cut back on fire and police protection in Alaska's cities, or forego in- surance coverage for municipal facilities (most of which were built with state money)? Does it mean cut back on the hours the community youth center is open in a village racked with alcohol- and drug -related prob- lems, or leave the potholes in the street, or not repair the water or sewer system? Did legislators who voted for cuts in FY 90, and people who promoted those cuts, especially cuts in the pass-throughs to local govern- ments, understand their effect on our com- munities? Did they understand that cutting state dollars for would mean less local serv- EQUIPMENT DEALERS CONTRACTORS a °�Aa ice and more local taxes? Local governments, represented by themselves individually and by the Alaska Municipal League collectively. entered the FY 90 state budget debates on behalf of their municipalities, and they will be Just as involved in the FY 91 and future budget discussions. The Alaska Municipal LL:asue, representing local government in Alaska generally and 122 of the 162 municipaiities directly as members, has developed the following justifications for fair and contin- ued state financial assistance to local _ov- ernment as an equal partne in pro% iding services to Alaskans: A Healthy State Depends on Healthy Municipalities - A healthy state depends on healthy municipalities where Alaskans live, work, and play. Constitutional Mandate - Local zov- ernment is protected by the Alaska Constitution. Article X provides for maxi- mum local self-;ovemment. Local Service Delivery - Nlam state services and programs are delivered to Alaskans at the local level. Aid to munici- palities is not expendable because of tough financial times, especially in a state as larlZe. _ remote, and diverse as Alaska. t H � Revenue Redistrihution -Oil resources and the revenues derived from them belong to all Alaskans. The revenues are collected by the state and must be redistributed back to Alaskans where and as services are pro- vided, which is mainly in municipalities. In state spending -reduction and revenue-rais- ingdiscussions, the implication seems to be' that state revenues should be reserved to run state novernment: that state govern- ment exists for some reason other than to provide services to the people of Alaska; that the state has no responsibility to mu- nicipalities. which serve the same people: and that the municipalities should raise all their own revenues from other sources. Essential Services - State aid to mu- nicipalities provides basic services to Alas- kans. State funds are used by local govem- ments to provide essential services such as tire. police. roads. water. sewer. health, telephone, garbage collection. schools, air- ports, docks and harbors, transit. planning, libraries, recreation. laundry facilities, and administration. Which of these should be cut to compensate for the loss of state dol- lars? State Cuts Increase Taxes - Cutting funds to local eovernment to balance the state budget in lieu of raising revenues is politically convenient for state officials, but it simply shifts the burden to local officials to atlain raise taxes or reduce serv- ices. The citizen pays either way. Scott Goldsmith's study for the Office of Man- agement and Budget on the impacts of state budget cuts (Working Paper 89.1) found that a 15% cut instate spending (an average cut of $651 per capita) would reduce sup- port to local governments an average of $215 per capita, with per -capita decreases in support to local governments in 10 elec- tion districts of over $250. Any such de- crease in state funding will have to be made up at the local level; Alaska's municipal budgets have no "slack." Municipal Programs Already Cut Disproportionately - Cuts in municipal aid have been disproportionate to cuts in other parts of the budget. Beginning in FY 85, the state cut municipal aid programs significantly: forexample, municipal assis- tance was cut by nearly 31 % just from FY 86 to FY 88. During that period, the overall state operating budget declined less than 7% and agency operating budgets were cut only 9% (House Research Report 88171). Funding for municipal aid has declined steadily since FY 85.Overall, since FY 85 funding for municipal assistance has dropped 35.1% and funding for the state revenue sharing program. 36.5%. Municipal Programs Small Portion of State Budget - "Pass -through" programs. which make up approximately 43% of the FY 90 operating budget, are incorrectly equated solely with aid to local govern- ments. In fact, they include such things as the Longevity Bonus Program, health and social services payments, shared taxes, and support foreducation. Municipal assistance and revenue sharing represent less than 5% of the total state budget. Eds for education. a constitu- tionally mandated state responsibility, make up 25%t; of the total budget. State general fund expenditures for formula -funded and entitlement programs as a percentage of operating expenditures have remained rela- tively constant since statehood, varying between 42 and 48% (House Research Report 88.171), and the municipal expen- diture share has been dropping.

In addition, munici- palities are now statutorily required to contribute an increasing, amount of local funds to education. Asanadded burden, municipalities have been required to make up the shortfalls in state education funding (debt reimbursement, foun(ation, and pu- pil transportation), more than S75 million from FY 86 to FY 89. The fundin, for education contested in the annual state bud_et debate is not money for local governments, but to meet the state's responsibility for basic education laid out in the Alaska Constitution and state stat- utes. State funds for education are passed through local governments to meet the state's obligations, and are in addition to the local and federal funds committed to education support. Municipalities Pay For Underfunded Entitlements - The state has not met its funding obligations to municipal entitle- mentprograms. Underfunding of state enti- tlement programs for municipalities has cost local governments over $147 million 1BEWNECA RELIABLE ENERGY IS OUR FUTURE r^' Dear Fellow Alaskans: Alaska's future depends upon the availabil- ity of sound energy resources. Responsible fiscal policy demands construction of intertie transmission lines from Kenai to Anchorage and Healy to Fairbanks. When the Railbelt Energy Fund was set aside for this specific purpose, our State Legislature acted with wisdom and forsight. To use the fund in any other way now would be to rob the people of Alaska of a sound energy future. An equally important question is how to build these transmission lines. If we permit non -Alaskan contractors and their transient work force to build our future, we have lost sight of another equally important goal: The employment of Alaskans in building their own future and the future of this great State. For these reasons, we urge you -to support investment of the Railbelt Energy Fund in these energy projects if and when they are built by Alaskans for Alaska. Gary Brooks I.M.

Double Burden from Certain _ Shortfalls - The underfunding of certain state -mandated programs (e.g., the senior citizens' property tax exemption program) causes a double burden on municipalities. The state restricts the municipalities' abil- ity to raise revenues to provide local -prior- ity programs, while at the same time requir- ing local governments to raise taxes or cut services to meet shortfalls in funding for state -mandated programs. Municipalities currently pay for over 70% of the state - mandated senior citizens' property tax exemption program! . Municipalities Save State Money- - Reductions in state assistance to local gov- ernments and the increasing disincentives of mandated but unfunded responsibilities may force municipalities to disincorporate and discourage new incorporations. thus increasing the state's costs of services to citizens in those areas. Shared Taxes Not State Funds - Shared taxes, which are included in state budget discussions as pass-throughs, should not be viewed as state funds. The taxes on fish. utilities, liquor, aviation and amusements are intended to compensate for the costs of regulation and the impacts of those activi- ties on local communities. The taxes are collected by the state for efficiency, but are shared with the municipalities that regulate the activities. Municipal Cuts Politically Expedient State aid to local governments such as municipal assistance, revenue sharing. senior citizens' property tax exemption reimbursement and school debt reimburse- ment is vulnerable in the budget -balancing, debate -- not because of the relative value of these programs to Alaska's citizens, but be- cause constitutional amendments or statu- tory changes are not necessary to reduce funding forthem. The vulnerability of these programs is increased when they are grouped with other formula programs (e._.. longevity bonus, health and social scr\ ice payments) for proportionate cuts. GLN0d public policy and fairness should pre\ail over political crpedicncy in considerin_, these progrmns during the budget proccs<. State .Mandates Il.ne Increased Lo- cal Costs -The state has shifted additional responsibilities to municipalities v ith,'ut compensation.

Alaskans have dealt with adversity in the past and survived. and they will survive now as well. How easy it will be is a function ofour abiIity to stay with the battle and stick together. As in any disaster, there is a common human reaction to try to put it out of one's mind and get on with life. This is already manifestin_ itself in our communities. Those who made money in the spill are secure. Those who were hurt financially have gTiven up hope of full compensation. And some are so tired of the whole situation that they would just as soon not talk about it any more. But, just because winter is here and Exxon is gone does not mean the spill is over. There are a host of issues facing us. Most immediate are social dislocations within our communities caused by the spill the redistribution of wealth from the spill as opposed to a normal fishing season has bvCD startling. Another concern is the tre- mendous uncertainty as to the viability of next vear's fishing season and the lasting; effects on the environment. Tere are marts• political issues to be dealt with also.

There are industry groups who are beginning to recognize their corporate re- sponsibility by instituting new contingency plans and soliciting public input for the first time. All these issues are going to require considerable energy in the months to come. Each community, however tired from the spill, must decide whetherthey will partici- pate in formulating "these vital issues. Will they take a hand in protecting theircommu- nities' interests or cede that responsibility? Recovery from the E-uron-Valdez spill and preparation for another disaster are separate functions, requiring separate focus and dedication. We all want to repair the damage wrought in our communities and forget the anger felt at the disruption of our lives. We wish to get back to our lives without Exxon and VECO. But at the same time, we must work to see that adequate protections are established for the future. --APAJ Mr. Brodie is Mayor of Kodiak. Alaska.

"Passing the buck" Continued front page 68 In addition, in the absence of legislation requiring fiscal notes on local impacts and preventing additional state mandates with- out reimbursements for program costs to local governments, the legislature has insti- tuted new costly programs. Municipal Assistance Not Overfunded Legislators say that funding, for municipal assistance. $56 mil lien in FY 99, is in excess of the funding floor (i.e.. 30'4 or greater ofthe prior year's corporate income tax -- or.S54 million at a minimum in FY X9).

I:quits - Ta.xpa}ers in municipalities pay locally forservices that are provided by the state at no local cost to residents of the unincorporated areas, for instance public safety and road maintenance. Taxpayers in municipalities also bear responsibilities imposed by the state that are not required by the state or residents in the unincorporated areas, for instance partial support of educa- tion and financial responsibility for school constiuction. Not only does this raise seri- ous equity questions, it also provides addi- tional justification for state aid to munici- palities. Local government is important to each of us, and it deserves our support. The people elect city council and borough as- sembly members just as they elect their state and federal representatives. Local elected officials and the municipal staff they hire represent and serve Alaskans more directly because of daily contact on the street. Local officials understand the needs of their citizens, and they should be consulted by, listened to, and assisted by our state and federal officials. The buck really does stop with the mu- nicipal taxpayer. Therefore, local govern- ment deserves to be an equal partner in the intergovernmental system created to pro- vide services to all citizens. --APAJ Mr. Burgess is E.reeutive Director of Alaskan Municipal League, the Associa- tion of Alaskan local governments.

Freas City Clerk KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING PARTIAL VERBATIM JANUARY 16, 1991 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION REPORT: SMALLEY: Minutes are in your packet. Under 5-A, the encroachment permit, the reason why it was rejected was because the Code does not allow for an encroachment permit. The applicant was encouraged to ask for an easement, is that right? MEASLES: A vacation of an easement... SMALLEY: A vacation of an easement. Yeah. Other than that there was a bed and breakfast approved, a second enterprise selling commercial fishing gear. Other than that, if you have any questions. They are still working on the Comprehensive Plan. MEASLES: Councilman Walker. WALKER: I have one request, and the only reason I bring this up is it's been addressed several times, or asked to be by the Commission while I was on there. People would ask if there is no provision in the Code for what we are requesting, we're spending money for a public hearing, why aren't we just told when we walk into City Hall and request a public hearing, there is no provision in the Code. This is the course you should take. SMALLEY: I have to let Kim address that. I don't know anything about that. I think, it must be a question referenced to you requested this and got a public hearing and then told the Code doesn't provide for it. WALKER: Right. You know, someone mentioned that we, as a group, should strongly encourage to investigate before they ask for a public hearing, investigate what they actually are wanting. But, I just -1- want to bring that up because several times this same sort of thing came before us when I was on P&Z and sometimes people were upset that they spent 150 bucks for a public hearing and found out that they were seeking the wrong item. SMALLEY: I would imagine that he paid the fees for a public hearing on his permit request, they would have been reimbursed. Is that correct? 1 *61 .1 7 � I guess. I'm really not that familiar with the Zoning Code. Loretta and Jack handle that. SMALLEY: Yeah. I think many of the commissioners weren't aware that the Code didn't allow for it. The Code was very specific and did not allow it and that Jack brought that to their attention after some research had been done. I would think that the gentleman probably would have been reimbursed his funds. BRIGHTON: I would say that we will see to it that he gets reimbursed if he gave us the money to entitle him to a public hearing and it wasn't called for, okay? And his name was? SMALLEY: Jay and Christy Schmelzenbach, S-c-h-m-e-l-z-e-n-b-a-c-h. BRIGHTON: S-c-h-a-1... SMALLEY: S-c-h-m-e-l-z-e-n-b-a-c-h. BRIGHTON: You spelled that without looking at anything? SMALLEY: Right here (held up P&Z agenda). -2- I'm not in management. MEASLES: I understand what Councilman Walker was talking about and I'm wondering if Jack handles these, if it would be possible when someone requests a permit like that, if Jack maybe could run it ,passed the attorney to determine before it goes to P&Z if it is a valid request. GRAVES: I would be glad to do that. MEASLES: That may save the citizen a lot of trouble. SMALLEY: I have a question. Will he still have to have some form of hearing for a variance, or a vacation of a right-of-way? MEASLES: Well, as I understand it, that request will go through the Borough and possibly come back to P&Z at some point. But... SMALLEY: I think there are fees attached to that, but I don't know what they may be. GRAVES: I think there are, but I don't know ... I'd have to check with the Borough. SMALLEY: And it was explained to him that the utilities would have to be contacted and generally speaking that this body has rejected requests if utility companies object to it. MEASLES: Basically, my thoughts are, that everything that he was told last night possibly could have been conveyed to him a week earlier. SMALLEY: Correct. -3- I MEASLES: ...and he could have been going down the right path instead of waiting... SMALLEY: That's entirely possible, yeah. -4- KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 16t 1991 TO DO LIST Jack - Reimburse Mr. & Mrs. Schmelzenbach. In the future, have .attorney review requests for public hearings to determine whether they are valid requests. CRG - Draft proposed amendments to the mobile home ordinance.
