Approval - Vacation of Section Line Easement - South Ames Road/Lot 1, Caro Subdivision. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of the vacation of a section line easement on South Ames Road, Lot 1, Caro Subdivision. Swarner noted that Fish & Game objected to the vacation due to the access it gives to Beaver Creek. LaShot confirmed that it will deny access to Beaver Creek and is against the River Management Plan. LaShott added that it is physically difficult going down the section line to get to the Creek. Walker stated that he did not believe it difficult to go up and down the bank to get to the Creek. Walker added that many people use the trail to get to the Creek. Walker stated that he objects to any removal to the easement, especially because of the access to the water. Williams reminded Council that they had denied an easement below this area. Williams added that if they denied one easement, they should deny the second request as well. Smalley referred to the letter from Fish & Game which was included in the packet. Smalley stated that it L:3 confusing. Smalley stated that he objects as well. Measles stated that the request is for a vacation of a section line easement and a right-of-way as well. Walker stated that he believes it imperative that both be maintained.

This vacation action has been approved by the Planning Commission, therefore, it is being sent to the Kenai City Council for their consideration and action. The Council has 30 days from July 20, 1992 in which to veto the decision of the Planning Commission. If no veto is received by the Commission within the 30-day period, the decision of the Commission will stand.

PUBLIC HEARINGS 2. Petition to vacate the section line easement lying between South Ames Road and the slough at the southeast corner of Lot I, Caro Subdivision. Section 2, Township 5 North, Range 11 West, Seward Meridian, Alaska. AND vacate the right-of-way easement, not to exceed fifty foot in width, along west bound- ary of Government Lot 13, Section 1, Township 5 North, Range 11 West Seward Meridian, Alaska. Also being within Kenai City limits and the Kenai Recording District. Staff :report as read by Dick Troeger: PC MEETING: 7/20/92 Petitioner(s): Carol B. Padgett of Anchorage, Alaska; Elizabeth Smith and Kenneth L. Smith of Kenai, Alaska. Purpose as stated in petition: Easement:; as they exist make the property unbuildable. The right-of-way is presently unused and unconstructed. It is unlikely that this right-of-way will ever be used for river access or crossing. Actual river access on this section line is down a high, steep bluff and across approximately 200 feet of wetland. We have no intention of entering into any commercial activit,., as a result of this vacation of easement. Easement is not necessary for access tc adjoining parcels. if easement: vacation is granted Parcel 1 and Parcel 2 will be replatted into one contiguous parcel. (Parcel lying northerly of Lot 1, Caro Subdivision would be combined with Government Lot 13). Public 1Jotice appeared in the July 9 and 16, 1992 issues of the Peninsula Clarion. Nineteen: certified mailings were sent to owners of property within 300 feet; and to other interested parties.. Eighteen of the re- ceipts ':ave been returned. One mailing waE. returned "Undeliverable as addressed. No forwarding order on file". Comments • not received as of this date from the Kenai Advisory Plan- ning CoTmission. Statement of non -objection from Homer Eler;tric Association except that a 20 foot utili_y easement is reserved for -existing power - lines. 3,iid easement is centered on existing powerlines. Statement: of non-obje Lion from PTI Commui,i.cations. Statement of objection received from: 1) St -ate of Alaska Department of Fish and Came. Letter partially statEts "The ADF&G recommends that the requested section line easement vacation be denied, in order to maintain tt.e oxisting public access. This easement pro- vides for public access to Beaver Creek. As long as the section line eascment is maintained, the ADF&G t;ss no objection to the vacation of the right--of-way easement." 2) State•. of Alaska D vision of Parks and Recreation has verbally object:&_: to the vacation. They believe the access to public waters should be retainel. If right-of-way cannot be constructed; it will ;till provide, pedestrian access for fishing. 3) Stat+a of ,Lask.a Department of Transportation and Public Facili- ties ha!, verbally stated an objection tc vacating easements to public waters. repartrrent of Transportation would probably agree to the vacation if ae alternate access is provided. ?'inriin__rf Fact 1. So(.— ion iine proposed for vacation does not appear to be in use for access. Section Line ea:!em:-2nt does not appear to he suitable for ve- hic )lar use_iue to excessive topograp,xical features. 22 3. Per Petition, easements are not constructed and not being used for access. 4. Section Line easement and right-of-way easement provide access to public water and/or public lands. 5. No alternative or superior access has been dedicated or pro- posed. ' 6. An existing section line easement, running east/west between Sec. 2 & 11, is approximately 1/4 mile southerly. Staff concurs with State that access to public waters should be retained; however, an alternate easement through the subject parcel is not feasible due to the configuration of the lot lines. The existing property cannot be fully developed with the existing sec- tion line easement or with an alternate location. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve vacation of section line easement and public access easement within west boundary of Government Lot 13; subject to the following conditionsc 1. Submittal of preliminary plat in accordance with Chapter 20 of Borough Code of Ordinances. (FINAL PLAT MUST BE SUBMITTED WITHIN ONE YEAR, OF VACATION APPROVAL) 2. The City Council of the City of Yenai, has thirty days in which they may veto Planning Commission approval of the vaca- tion. NOTE: IF VACATION IS DENIED, PETITIONER HAS EIGHT CALENDAR DAYS IN WHICH TO APPEAL THE PLANNING COMMISSION DENIAL. WRITTEN APPEAL MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE KENAI CITY CLERK. END OF' STAFF REPORT Under statements of objection in the staff report, (Item �2 State of Alaska Division of Parks and Recreation), Mr. Troeger advised he has received a written objection and read excerpts from the written statement: "The Kenai. River and Beaver Creek are both popular public sportfishing waters with limited public access due to the surrounding private lands. Section line easements and dedicated road rights -of -way leading to the river are often the only points of public access for considerable distances.. A field check of the easement and right-of-way in question was made on July 16, 1992. While the alignment contains an approximately 70 foot bluff which would make road construction more costly, the grade was easily walkable for trail purposes. The entire alignment is wooded upland and lowland with only approximately 20 feet of wetlands area where it:. meets Beaver Creek. The eighty-three foot total width of the combined section line easement and dedicated road right-of-way is ample width for trail meander and switchback. This access c.,ould provida:, important riverbank access for other nonfrc.>ntage landowners of the neighborhood and for other public, users. For those reasons stated, Mr. Troeger sziid the Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation objected to the vacation. Mr. Tzoeger advisee r_ letter of objecticn was also received this date from State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Land and 'dater and read excezpts from that letter: "livision of Land has reviewed the referenced petition fc;r vacation. The Kenai River and I3zaver Creek are very F:,cj-u ar public, :streams and access .ioints are and will ccntirjue to ,)e very important. From the available F"PB PT, ;JtI]"�1G CO'rML>STOIJ MEETING , July 20 1992 PAGE 23 .information, it is not possible to determine the importance of this specific access point, although this section line appears to provide as good or better access potential than most of the section lines for several miles. With no obvious alternatives in this location, we can see no public benefit.to the vacation of the section line and therefore objectito the proposal." Mr. Trceger directed the commission's attention to the base map displayed depicting the subject proposed vacation. Chairman Hammelman read the rules by whlCh these public hearings will be conducted and opened the public Nearing. 1. Mack Padgett, 3300 Country Woods Drive, Anchorage, Alaska 99502, spouse of petitioner Carol Padgett, commented without this vacation the property is unbuildable. He said they purchased this property two years ago with the intent of building a home and moving to the Kenai Peninsula. He said w:rth the section line as it is, there is no way to build a home on this site. Referring to an objection expressed by thc� Alaska Division of Parks and Recreation, where.n they stated it will.. not provide pedestrian access for fishing, Mr. Padgett pointed out there are no fish in Beaver Creek; he said a person can fish, but chances of catching a fish are nil. Mr. Padgett presented six photographs of the subject area which show the creek bank ;as well as the slope of the hill. 2. Bill Bryant, 272 Charity Court, Soldotna, Alaska stated he is in the process of improving some land juat down the road from the Padgetts' and spoke an favor of the vacation. He said by allowing this vacation as petitioned, it will allow for improvement of the area. 3. Nathan Baily, P.O. Box 3337, Kenai, AK 99611, recently purchased the lot adjacent to the subject, property. He said they have lived in this area for many years and concurred with Mr. Padgett Is statement that there is no fish nq in Beaver Creek and he has never seen anyone use that access for fishing. He stated the bank cn Beaver Creek is unsuitable for traffic and the foliage easily damaged and embankment easily destroyed. There being no one +,lse wishing to comment, the public hearing was closed and opened for discussion among ttse commissioners. MOTION: Commissior,IE�: Clutts, seconded by Commissioner Knoc},, moved to appro%e vacation of section line easement and public access easement with.r, west boundary of Government Lot 13 subject to staff recommendations. VOTE: A roll call vote was to} -,en with 11.1 commissioners present voting in favor of tlhi vacation. The motion passed unanimously.

The Kenai River and Heaver Creek arc+ both popular public �I sportfishing waters with limited public access due to the surrounding private lands. Section line easements and dedicated road right-of-ways leading to the river are often the only points of public access for considerable distances. A field check of she easement and right-of-way in question wac made on July 16, 1992. While the alignment contains an approximately 70 foot bluff which would make road construction more costly, the grade was easily walkabie for trail purposes. The entire alignment is wooded upland and low 'and with only approximately 20 feet of wetlands area. where it meets Beaver Creek.. The Eighty-three foot tot11 width of the combined section line easement and dedicated road right-of-way is ampl.a width for trail meander and switchback. Thi13 access could provide important riverbz-nk access for other non - frontage landowners ofi the neighborhood anc' for other public usnr.s. For the reasons atat_ed, and to preserve options for current and tutors public fishing and river access to the Kenai River Special Management Area, the Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation is opposed to granting the vacation of this easement and road right- a�--way. Thank you for the opportunity to review and cc=ment on this request. Most: sincerely, ,Jaltar H.

The commission asked me if I could go but I explained that I did not have the time to go because of our Courthouse Project and finalizing the Congregate Housing Project. After hosting last year's conference, the commission felt we should at least attend this year's conference. I had to explain that the City Manager took all of the travel funds out of the Boating Facilities budget that I submitted. We had anticipated a very low income year at the dock. Fortunately, the large fish run has increased our revenue tremendously. If the Council decides they want to send Commissioner Ray McCubbins and Swede Freden to this conference we need a resolution transferring $1960.00 from contingency to transportation in the Boating Facility budget.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, that the City Council ratify the following amendments to the. Airport Regulations, Chapter 14.05: 14.05.010 General: (a) There shall be a landing fee of twenty-five (25) cents per thousand pounds of weight on aircraft with a [CERTIFICATION] certified gross take -off weight of 4,000 pounds or over, payable monthly. The landing fee shall be computed on the certified gross take -off weight of each aircraft.

Municipal Airport with regard to landing fees and use fees. Currently, a commercial air carrier who does not lease land from the airport and flies an aircraft with a gross take -off weight of more than 4,000 lbs., but files landing reports, could pay less than $25.00 per month in landing fees. Twenty-five dollars is the amount (per aircraft/per month) we charge commercial operators of aircraft with less than a gross take -off weight of 4,000 lbs. Example: For each operator with one landing per month: Operator #1 (A/C over 4,000 lbs.) Navajo (PA-31)(6,200 lbs.) = $.25 X 6 = $1.50 Operator #2 (A/C less than 4,000 lbs.) Cessna 207 (3,800 .lbs.) = $25.00 Attached is Resolution 92-71 which wou d change airport regulations to resolve the problem noted above.

ADJOURNMENT RENAI PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION OCTOBER 141 1992 7:00 P.M. RENAI CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS CHAIRMAN ART GRAVELEY, PRESIDING ITEM 1: CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL Chairman Graveley called the meeting to order at approximately 7:02 p.m. in the Council Chambers in the Kenai City Hall Building. Commission members present were: Graveley, Bannock, Goecke, Scott, Bryson and Hanson. Absent was Glick. Other persons present were City Engineer Jack LaShot, Councilman Hal Smalley, and City Clerk Carol Freas. ITEM 2: APPROVAL OF AGENDA MOTION: Commissioner Bryson MOVED for unanimous approval of the agenda as presented and Commissioner Scott SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. ITEM 3: APPROVAL OF MINUTES MOTION: Commissioner Bryson MOVED for approval of the minutes of the September 9, 1992 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting and requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. Commissioner Goecke SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. ITEM 4: PLANNING a. Resolution No. PZ 92-30 - Preliminary Plat Approval/D.E. Oehler Subdivision No. 2. LaShot stated that the vacation of the alleyway was before the Commission in March. The vacation has been approved by all concerned parties. The vacation will allow the Kenai Christian Church the opportunity to expand. LaShot added that he is not. sure if they plan to build a separate building or add on to the present structure. LaShot added that Public Works recommends the approval of the plat. It is their belief that it will be better to have the alleyway removed so not to have public access to maintain. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 14, 1992 PAGE 2 MOTION: Commissioner Bryson MOVED for approval of the preliminary replat of D.E. Oehler Subdivision No. 2 and Commissioner Scott SECONDED the motion. Goecke stated his concern that the Church had already begun building and that this is an after -the -fact approval. LaShot stated that a building permit is not required for excavation or clearing of property. To his knowledge, no form work has been done. Goecke stated that he is not aware of form work being done either. However, he drove by and observed ground work. Graveley stated that they are within their limits. VOTE: Bannock: Yes Glick: Absent Graveley: Yes Goecke: Yes Scott: Yes Bryson: Yes Hanson: Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. b. Resolution No. PZ 92-32 - Approval of Preliminary Plat/Wildwood Correction Subdivision. LaShot stated that a very small amount of the property being transferred is within the City of Kenai. The only reason this item is being brought to Council is due to that small piece of the property inside the City. LaShot added that it is his understanding that the plat will help the transfer of the property to the Department of Corrections. MOTION: Commissioner Bryson MOVED for approval of the preliminary plat of Wildwood Corrections. Commissioner Hanson SECONDED the motion. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 14, 1992 PAGE 3 VOTE: Bannock: Yes Glick: Absent Graveley: Yes Goecke: Yes Scott: Yes Bryson: Yes Hanson: Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. ITEM 5: PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD None. ITEM 6: PUBLIC HEARINGS a. Resolution PZ 92-31 - Approval of Variance Permit/Rick Luebke/Lot 8, Doyle Subdivision. LaShot stated that there is an existing foundation on the property with footings. Luebke wishes to build a one-story single-family home using the existing foundation and add to them. Luebke will require an encroachment permit because he will be going into the setback by 1.8 feet. The lot behind the property is an undeveloped government lot of 2.5 acres. The cul-de-sac is off East Aliak and on Roy Way. LaShot reported that Luebke was present to answer questions. Graveley asked if there was a right-of-way there. Luebke answered no. Luebke stated there is the required 20 ft. setback in the back and he would like to extend into it about 22 inches. Luebke added that there was no development behind him. Graveley asked if there were any questions from the Commission or others wishing to speak regarding this permit application. There were none. Graveley declared the public hearing closed. MOTION: Commissioner Bryson MOVED for approval of the variance request for Rick Luebke and Commissioner Hanson SECONDED the motion. Luebke stated that he is waiting for the approval of the permit in order to begin pouring the footings. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 14, 1992 PAGE 4 Commissioner Scott was concerned that the public hearing notice states a request for a "variance permit" in one paragraph and an "encroachment permit" in another. Scott asked if this would be a problem. Bryson stated that the conditions were set in the resolution. Bryson added that he believes Luebke is tied into the existing foundation. Bryson stated that he believes this is reasonable to allow. There were no other comments. VOTE: Bannock: Yes Glick: Absent Graveley: Yes Goecke: Yes Scott: Yes Bryson: Yes Hanson: Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Councilman Smalley asked if the property is to be sold later, will they need an encroachment permit or will this protect the situation? LaShot stated he believed this approval will go with the property. Luebke stated that the person across the street has a variance within 11 feet of her property. ITEM 7: NEW BUSINESS None. ITEM 8: OLD BUSINESS a. Resolution No. PZ 92-26 - Rezone Approval/Lots 1 and 2A, Schurr Subdivision. MOTION: Commissioner Scott MOVED to table Resolution No. PZ 92-26 until a response is received from the applicant. Commissioner Goecke SECONDED the motion. Bryson suggested to limit the tabling to one year. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 14, 1992 PAGE 5 MOTION TO AMEND: Commissioner Scott amended the motion to table the resolution for not more than one year. Commissioner Hanson SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. VOTE ON AMENDED MOTION TO TABLE: Bannock: Yes Goecke: Yes Hanson: Yes Glick: Absent Graveley: Yes Scott: Yes Bryson: Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. ITEM 9: CODE ENFORCEMENT ITEMS a. Irene's Lodge Graveley referred to the documentation of the workings of the Lodge which were included in the packet. Graveley stated he thought the business should be allowed to continue as is. Goecke agreed. Bannock stated he did not disagree, however over the four years he has been on the Commission, the complaint has come to the Commission four times. Bannock asked what Administration will say when the question comes up again. Graveley stated that the documentation and the information forwarded by LaShot is proof that Fandel is within his limits. Graveley suggested that the next complaint received, should document from whom it comes. Scott suggested that a letter be sent to Fandel documenting the findings of the Commission. Scott added that she believes Fandel is well aware that people are watching him. LaShot added that he toured the facility and there is some coordination between the bed and breakfast and the guiding business. LaShot stated that he visited one of -the river sites and was informed how the business is run. Smalley stated he visited with Mrs. Fandel. Smalley stated Mrs. Fandel acknowledged that there have been times when people stayed out in their back yard, but they were friends. Mrs. Fandel also admitted that they store their boats there. It is their property. Smalley added that the Commission/City is a complaint - type of business entity. When a complaint is received, the City PLANNING & ZONING MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 14, 1992 PAGE 6 COMMISSION needs to investigate. This item has been well -documented. Smalley agreed that a letter to Fandel's stating the City's conclusions is a good idea. Hanson, Goecke and Bryson agreed. Graveley directed LaShot to send a letter to the Fandel's to include the findings and enter the letter into the record. b. Quandt Property Graveley referred to the copy of the Planning & Zoning Department's letter to the State of Alaska and their response. LaShot stated that nothing else has been received. LaShot suggested giving the State a sixty-day period in which to make their field inspection and response. If nothing happens in that time, another letter should be sent. Graveley agreed that this item should be continually updated. Commissioner Hanson was concerned that an eight -foot high fence would be adequate. Hanson added that the level of the road is a little higher than the level of the property. Hanson stated he is concerned that an eight -foot fence will still allow visibility of the property. LaShot stated that the State's comment to clean up or place an eight -foot fence may be premature. Whatever is to be done should come before the Commission for approval first. Scott suggested that when the next letter is written to the State, photographs be included. Scott added that this item requires constant follow- up. Smalley suggested that the State be encouraged to visit the site prior to more snowfall. Chairman Graveley directed that a letter and photographs been sent to the State as soon as possible. ITEM 10• REPORTS a. city council Smalley referred to the October 7, 1992 Council Meeting Agenda which was included ;in the packet. Plant Test Site - Smalley informed the Commission that a request was made for the City to rename the Plant Test Site, located by the ballfields, to the Warren Larson Memorial Test PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 14, 1992 PAGE 7 Site. Also, at Item H-8, Council approved the renewal of a use agreement for the plant test site. A ten-year renewal of the use agreement was approved. Resolution No. 92-69 - A resolution was passed by the Council which honored Building Inspector Howard Hackney. Smalley informed the Commission that the employees were collecting donations to place a plaque and tree at Memorial Park in Howard's memory. Smalley invited the Commission to donate if they so wished. Temporary City Manager Assignment - Smalley informed the Commission that while City Manager Brighton has been hospitalized, Finance Director Brown has been the Acting City Manager. Mr. Brown will be leaving town for a two -week period and in his absence, Council approved assigning Kim Howard as the Temporary Acting City Manager. Work Session - Smalley informed the Commission that he has requested a work session to discuss the bed tax and finding alternative funding to support the operations and maintenance of the Visitors Center. The work session would be in November with the hotel/motel, bed and breakfast, Council, and Visitors Center Board of Directors. Fire Training Facility - Smalley informed the Commission that a walk-through of the new Fire Training Facility will take place at 6:00 p.m. on October 21, 1992, prior to the Council meeting. b. Borough Planning Bryson informed the Commission that the Borough Planning Commission met briefly on Monday night. There were four plats to review, one of which was before the Commission tonight. Bryson reported that a complaint has been forwarded to them under Borough Ordinance No. 21-12. Alaska Roadbuilders wish to expand their batch site. The Borough Planning Director stated to them that he had not intended this ordinance to come before them, however there was a complaint and the ordinance will come before them at their next meeting. Also the Borough Commission will be hearing a complaint regarding safety and noise of Merrill McGahan's newly renovated airfield in PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 14, 1992 PAGE 8 Nikiski. This will be before the Borough Commission in the near future. Bryson added that this will be a real problem area because it is not clear whether the Borough can govern air traffic or the safety. C. Townsite Historic Task Force Goecke reported that there have been two meetings since their last Planning & Zoning Commission meeting. Different items were discussed. An archeological dig has been suggested by Alan Borass. Borass would like a dig completed before any development is allowed in the area. This could take three to four years. Goecke added that they discussed the modification of KMC 14.21.050. At this time they are working on guidelines, however, the Task Force is not sure what it is they want to do. Goecke reported that the Task Force is discussing becoming a Commission instead of a Task Force. As a Commission they would be answerable to the Council. Goecke staged he informed the Task Force of his concern that two bodies doing the same type of work would not be good. Goecke added that the proposed changes the Planning & Zoning Commission made are being modified. At this time, he is not sure how much. Graveley referred to the Task Force's mission statement which was included in the packet. Graveley stated one of the key points of the statement is to try to stay within a guideline. Graveley stated he is not totally opposed to an archeological dig, however, he pities the landowners in the area. A dig will hold them back from their plans. Bryson asked if the Task Force is looking at site specific investigation or area wide. Goocke stated that he believes they are talking about the area on which there was a recent request to place a cabinet shop. Bryson asked if they wanted to do the dig on private property. Smalley stated that he believed that property is where the original cemetery was. Bryson asked if Council discussed a moratorium. Smalley reported that the Council decided not to allow a moratorium. Smalley added that the Council is under the impression that the Task Force will remain a task force and not be a commission. Scott stated that she believed the creation of another commission would be another hoop for property owners to have to jump through. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 14, 1992 PAGE 9 Graveley suggested that it is made clear to the Council that he concurs with Council's recommendation to keep the task force a task force. A handle is needed to keep red tape to a minimum. Graveley added that he commends Council to not allowing a moratorium. Graveley stated he believes it is necessary to keep the bureaucracy out. Another commission or group would defeat the purpose. Bannock suggested that a time -line be given to the Task Force. Goecke stated they are well aware of a time line. Goecke added that they all agree that if something is not done constructively now, a year from now, nothing will be changed. Goecke added that Attorney Graves was requested to draft some of their ideas. Commissioner Hanson stated that he believes the task force is doing an adequate job for three hours of work. Hanson added that the rationale for them becoming a commission is because of requirements of the Historical Commission. Without a government commission, they will not be able to receive tax incentives. Scott stated this was discussed during the first meeting of the task force which she attended. Scott stated that additional duties can be assigned to the Planning & Zoning Commission and that, would satisfy the Historical Commission's requirements. Smalley agreed. A rode addition would be needed. d. City Administration LaShot stated that Carr's representatives have contacted him and have requested to place two large signs on their property. They were told that at this time, the Code will not allow the sign sizes they wish to place. LaShot added that he told them to proceed at their own risk. LaShot stated he suggested they apply for a variance. Bannock suggested the sign code be modified. LaShot suggested the sign size be in proportion to the business. LaShot requested advice from the Commission. Graveley stated that a variance could be done within the next month or two. LaShot stated the signs are being made. Smalley :Mated his concern that the size of signs they want to place may obscure traffic vision. LaShot stated he did not believe that would be a problem. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 14, 1992 PAGE 10 Graveley suggested they request a variance permit. LaShot stated he would write a letter and state this. Bannock stated he would like to modify the sign ordinance. Bannock added that a variance would delay the process. LaShot. stated that it would depend on the amount of modification as to how quickly the modifications could go through the Commission and Council. Scott stated her concern that: large corporations can push through changes where small business cannot. Scott stated that the ordinance should be fair to everyone. Bryson stated a variance could be before them for the next meeting and could be enacted at that time. Bryson added that an ordinance is initiated by the City and a variance is from an applicant. Goecke suggested that a variance be brought before them and discuss the sign ordinance after the variance is permitted. Graveley and Scott agreed. Graveley requested staff to direct a letter to Carr's and suggest they apply for a variance. Code changes can be addressed later. Bryson stated that he will abstain from any voting on that item. LaShot stated that a variance would allow Carr's to put up their signs. Scott stated that she hoped the City is not responding rapidly to large corporations and not to the smaller businesses. The City's actions need to be fair. Smalley stated that the Kmart representatives did ask for a code change because the code was not designed for the type of construction used on that mall. The code change went through quickly, however, it was a different type of change than what the sign ordinance would be. Smalley agreed that the ordinance needs to be reviewed. The Commission decided to review the sign ordinance in a work session following their next meeting. The Commission wished to have Council present. ITEM 11: PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD None. ITEM 12: INFORMATION ITEMS LaShot stated that he had with him the preliminary road progress drawings for the Spur Highway expansion. LaShot stated that they PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 14, 1992 PAGE 11 show the alignment from downtown past Swires. Right-of-way maps were also available for the Commission to review. ITEM 13: COMMISSION COMMENTS AND OUESTIONS Bannock - a. Met with a lady from Homer who is on their Planning & Zoning Commission. They discussed sign ordinances. Bannock stated that Homer is very restrictive with their sign allowances. Bannock stated that signs are the doormat of a business and that the Commission/City needs to care about signs. b. Bannock requested that the next agenda include a discussion regarding a possible recreational vehicle violation. Bannock distributed a copy of the recreational vehicle code ordinance and pictures of the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) radar site. The housing for the NOAA site instruments, etc. is a skirted recreational vehicle. Bannock stated that he believed this is a double standard. Bannock stated he would like the Commission to :review KMC 14.20.245. ITEM 14: ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 8:15 p.m. Minutes transcribed and submitted by: Carol L. Freas, City Clerk MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Councilmembers FROM: Jack LaShot, City Engineer City of Kenai. DATE: October 16, 1992 RE: WORK SESSION The Kenai Planning & Zoning Commission met at their regularly scheduled meeting of October 14, 1992. During that meeting, Commissioner Bannock requested that the Commission and Council meet in a joint work session immediately after their October 28, 1992 Commission meeting.

ROLL CALL Task Force Members: Jim Arness, Jim Bookey, Kim McCune, Roger Meeks, Becky Tromblee Planning and Zoning: Ron Goecke, Paul Hanson 2. _APPROVAL_ OF AGENDA Agenda approved as presented. 3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES September 17, 1992 - Minutes were approved as presented. 4. NEW BUSINESS S. OLD BUSINESS a. TSH Ordinance :Tim Arness felt the group should begin discussing concepts they would like to have included in the Ordinance. He felt that perhaps Cary Graves could draft a new ordinance and the Committee could review and refine that ordinance. At the previous meeting the Task Force had pinpointed the purpose of the ordinance, that permits would be required for all new construction, demolition, and alterations. The Task Force discussed keeping the Historic Commission separate from Planning and Zoning. It would be a seven member body, which would include an architect, real estate specialist and attorney, if feasible. There would be a Townsite Historic Zone and designated landmarks outside the zone if needed. The criteria for historic status would be 50 years or historic value. Actions to be reviewed would include any activity requiring a building permit or any public projects even if no building permit is required. They thought there should be a minimum amount of value on construction needing a permit (such as $1,000) or demolition of any building. Bookey said he felt there should be a clause addressing the financial feasibility of restoring an old building or demolishing it. Some buildings may pose an economical problem for property owners due to high insurance premiums, etc. Arness said the "economic hardship" clause could be included. Property owners could appeal a negative decision on the basis of economic hardship. A clause should also be included that any present building destroyed by :fire, etc. may be rebuilt to same status as before it was destroyed. TOWNSITE HISTORIC TASK FORCE October 1, 1992 Page 2 Bookey thought that should include the same types of business activities also. They should have grandfather rights even though they might not be allowed under the new ordinance. Bookey felt that the size of the zone should be established before a lot of detail went into the ordinance. b. Zoning Boundaries After a brief discussion the Task Force decided on proposed boundaries as shown on the attached map, and including from the top of the bluff to mean high tide mark. Arness said that the Task Force should decide how restrictive they want to be within the new zone. He felt that multiple housing should be discouraged, any industrial or manufacturing activity. Service businesses could be allowed, such as attorney's, dentists, etc. , but a size limit on office space might be defined, such as no business office bigger, then 2,000 to 3,000 SF. Arness said he would talk to the City Attorney about drafting an ordinance the Task Force could work :from. c . Projects Arness asked if there were additional projects besides the Heritage Village proposed by the Mayor? Paul Hanson said he would like to see a walking tour established with signage on the historic sites. Becky Tromblee said she would like to see the road to the cemetery reconstructed to run between church property (alongside the rectory) and the Fish and Game property. Presently the road cuts through her property and her neighbor's. Jim Bookey felt this could best be addressed along with the Mission Street improvements project. Roger Meeks wanted to look at establishing a trail to the beach, which would be built to protect against bluff erosion. 6.ADJOURNMENT There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at approximately 9:00 p.m. Respectfully submitted, (./�Yor"Har Transcribing Secretary CITY OF KENAI TOWNSITE HISTORIC TASK FORCE October 15, 1992 City Hall Council Chambers MINUTES I.

Absent: Kim McCune, Roger Meeks, Ron Goecke, Berry Eldridge II. Approval of minutes A. Minutes of October 1, 1992 meeting were approved as presented. III. Zoning Boundaries A. The Task Force reviewed the map of the boundaries. After a brief discussion, it was decided to make no changes at this time. Jim Arness stated that the Commission will be abl_E� to move the boundary as desired over time and that landmarks in other parts of town (outside these zoning boundaries) can also be designated as historic. IV. Protects A. The Task Force has identified the following as possible projects/problems to be considered during this process: 1. Street to cemetery 2. Trail to beach 3. Roads around the church 4. Heritage Village 5. Bluff erosion V. TSH ordinance A. Jim Arness handed out an outline (copy attached) which he developed to aid in writing the new ordinance. B. As discussion began, Paul Hanson suggested that this outline be presented to CounciL and P&Z for their input at this early stage of writing the new ordinance. For example, he stated that P&Z may not want the Historic Commission created. After a brief discussion, it was determined that what is needed now is clarification from TOWNSITE HISTORIC TASK FORCE Minutes -- October 15, 1992 Page 2 Council regarding the direction of the Task Force and the end result desired. Jim Arness will talk to Mayor Williams. C. Most of the meeting time was used to discuss in detail specifics to be included in, or excluded from, the new ordinance. Jim Arness will re -draft the outline to include the changes and suggestions decided by the group. More of this type of discussion and drafting will be necessary to complete the ordinance, which will be shown to the City Attorney for his review and input before presentation to City Council. VI.

Discussion - Senior Citizen Housing and ASHA. Williams stated that he read in detail Finance Director Brown's report, which was included in the packet. Williams agreed that a lot of red tape must be gone through, but he personally has never had a problem in dealing with ASHA. Williams added that when planning the building of the facility, it was decided that someone's income would not be a deciding factor of who could Live in the complex. Williams urged the Council to direct Administration go ahead with the ASHA contract. Walker stated that he understood the facility was not to be low- income housing. Walker stated that throughout the building of the project, it was always his belief that those to live there would be able to afford it without being subsidized. Williams stated the facility was built with funds from the people of Alaska. Williams stated he believes that the City may be open to suit if the facility was not made available to all. It could be seen as discriminatory. Walker requested that Council and Administration review this very closely. Walker added that the City should not give away any control of how the facility is to be run or the ability to raise the rent, etc. Williams stated that each tenant is treated individually. There is no blanket contract to cover the entire complex. Each tenant will be charged as to their ability to pay. Walker was concerned that there will be times that the rent will need to be raised, and the City will nct be able to do it if it is an ASHA contract. Walker added that he would hate to see the City lose any of its control. There may be times the rents will need to be raised to balance out and not have a deficit in maintaining the building. ASHA contracts will not allow the rent to be raised. Williams KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 7, 1992 PAGE 11 stated that if a contract is signed for one year, the City cannot raise the rent for one year, except for provable causes. Williams added that there will probably be five tenants on ASHA and those costs can be absorbed. Smalley asked then that it is possible, using this agreement, there will be tenants exempted from an increase in the rent and some that will not. Williams stated that there will be some that the rent will not be able to be raised for one year, unless authorized. Smalley asked if similar contracts have been signed by the present tenants in the facility. Brown stated that at this time, the tenants are on a month -to - month contract. The rent can be raised with a thirty -day notice. Williams stated that ASHA pays on a thirty -day basis. If a tenant terminates in the middle of the month, ASHA will not continue their rent. Unwanted tenants can be removed with a thirty -day notice. Williams added that the Landlord -Tenant Act provisions must be abided by whether they are ASHA or not. Monfor stated that she did not have a problem with a contract with ASHA. MOTION: Councilwoman Swarner MOVED that the City enter into an agreement with the Alaska. State Housing Authority, known as ASHA, in this agreement... Williams stated that he did not think the motion should be to enter into a blanket agreement. Brown stated that Council would want to authorize the Administration to enter into this and all similar contracts for Alaska State Housing Authority. MOTION: Councilwoman Swarner MOVED to authorize the Administration to enter into this and all similar contracts for Alaska State Housing Authority. Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. Councilman Measles referred to Brown's memorandum included in the packet regarding rent increases. Measles stated that during the year, the City cannot raise the rent and after that it can be raised if ASHA concurs. Brown agreed. Measles stated that was not Williams just stated. Brown agreed. Measles stated that if there are any apartments under an ASHA agreement, they control KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 7, 1992 PAGE 12 the rent on those apartments. Brown stated that the ASHA representative to which he spoke was adamant about the one year period. Brown stated the representative said during that one year, you should not ask for a rent increase. Measles stated he would have a big problem with that restriction. Brown stated that after the year, ASHA would allow the rent to be raised if rent increases are justifiable. Brown added that as long as that tenant is in that apartment, even if it is for three or four more years, ASHA has a say in the rent amount. Williams stated that the tenant does not have to stay. The City will have the right to not enter into a rent agreement during the second year. Also, the maximum amount of rent for these apartments is commensurate with the amount of rent generally paid for an equivalent apartment in the local area. Williams added that he believed the rents for the facility already set are well below what ASHA's maximum amounts will pay. Senior Center Director Porter stated that they are not all, about half of them are below. Porter added that there are some apartments in the complex that ASHA would not rent to anyone. Williams stated he has been working with this program for a number of years and has not had any problems with it. Porter stated that there will be five out of 27 tenants that will be using the ASHA contract. They must pay their full deposit. VOTE: Monfor: Yes Smalley: Yes Swarner: Yes MOTION PASSED. Measles: No McComsey: Absent Williams: Yes Walker: No H-7. Discussion - Contract for Lobbyist Services - Ashley Reed & Associates, Inc.

Costs for the contract have been budgeted.

MOTION: Councilman Measles MOVED to alter the sign and Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. Councilwoman Monfor remarked that she noticed the All -America City decals have been placed on some of the vehicles. Swarner asked why they were not placed on Kornelis and Lashot's vehicles. Kornelis stated that he had small decals placed in his car's windows. Swarner stated that Council specifically stated that the decals were to be placed on the director's cars. Williams stated that he and Kornelis discussed on which vehicles to place the decals. They did not have enough to place on Kornelis or LaShot's vehicles.

PASSED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, this 4th day of November, 1992. JOHN J. WILLIAMS, MAYOR ATTEST: Carol L.

Presently the code covers three leveis of kenneling activities permitted in the City of Kenai. N e would like to see these three levels consolidated into one level. Under current definitions a "dog fancier" can have up to "Our dogs before a permit is required. A kennel under the definition can have up to three dogs before a permit is required. A dog mustier's facility, while mentioned through out the code, jacks a definition at all. Putting these three facilities under one hczdim would alleviate confusion for the facilities owner, adjacent property owners and the animal control office. Our proposed ordinance could reed as follows: A kennel facility means a premises where lour or more do,-s over the ape of four months are kept for the purposes known to the owner of the facility 'This new definition would streamline the present definitions making it easier to identify facilities and enioree the code.. Licensing procedures, standards for operating a kennel facility, and revocation hearings and appeals world remain the same as presently dictated by the animal t:o�itrol code. fhe next area of the code that needs revision is Protective (--'ustody, 3.25.090. Presently, an inimal control officer may seize a rc.strairied animal which he determines to he in some sort cif 11opardV. We would like to s�-,e this area, animal jeoparck , extended to the public's sarety. Page 2 Code Revisions/A.C. 10/9/92 For example we receive many calls where a dangerous animal is restrained in a place that poses a threat to individuals. We respond by removing the animal, however, there is a gray irea as to the legality of the seizure. Clarification of this area would certainly assist animal control in performance of our duties. The proposed ordinance should read as follows: When an officer finds it necessary that an animal, not subject to impoundment, be taken into custody of the Animal Control Shelter to preserve the public's or the animal's health and safety, the officer may take the animal into protective custody. The final revision to the code we would like to see is license fees, see KAiC 3.05.100 (b). We request that the fee for non -sterilized dogs be increased to ten dollars ($10.00) and sterilized dogs be decreased to two dollars ($2.00). This way animal control is rewarding individuals for having their animal spayed or neutered, and also giving incentive to those that have not. BG/h-v cc: Cary Graves, City Attorney 1791-1991 CITY OF KENAI 210 FIDALGO KENAI, ALASKA 99611 TELEPHONE 283 - 7535 FAX 907-283-3014 LVARILTINVII-10 TO: Keith Kornelis, Public Works Director FROM: Brett Reid, Animal Control Offic& l DATE: September 25, 1992 SUBJECT: Animal Adoption Procedures Animal Control is working on revising our adoption procedures. Because of the surplus of dogs and cats, there is no reason for these pets to leave City custody in breeding condition. The current system of refunding a deposit upon proof of spay/neuter is resulting in extra work for the Finance Department as well as less than desired compliance with spay/neuter goals. Under the proposed system fees for adoption would include the cost of spay/neuter surgery. After payment the animals would be taken to Kenai Veterinary Hospital by the Kenai Animal Control to be spayed or neutered and get their vaccinations. The veterinarian would bill the City twice a month for the services (which have already been paid to the City by the new owner). Dogs and cats that are too voung for surgery would be adopted and given a voucher that can be used when the animal is old enouh. This system would reduce non-compliance with spay/neuter goals to almost none, as well as reducing work for the Finance Department. Fees for adoption would, at first glance, be increased but total costs for adopting a spay/neutered anima.i would be less due to special rates from Dr. McCartan. The fees would be as follows: NIA I, E CATS FEN1.1I,,E CATS k, DOGS UNDER 60 L13S. S 3 0. 00 Sur�;ery S 50.()0 Sur,_,ery 12.()o Rabies 12.0 Rabies 10_i;i1 Adt. I"ee 10.(10 Actopt. Fee S 5'2.

Fee 13 OTHER ANIMALS $ 82.00 Total The Animal Control Ordinance would have to be amended to reflect these changes The decision to use Kenai Veterinary Hospital would have to be addressed. My position is that the Kenai Animal Control has an excellent relationship with Dr. McCartan and has relied on his services for many years, often at little or no cost. Dr. McCartan is the only veterinarian operating in the city limits and unless another clinic is opened here he should be given preference. BR/ kv cc: Charles A.

I have, however, completed preliminary valuation analysis and conclude a current market value of the subject property at: $170500/Ac. a 6.77 Ac. s $118,500 (R) This value is predicated on the fact that Baron Park Lane, which does not presently exist, is to be built and paved at least to the northern portion of the site and full public utilities including electricity, telephone, natural gas, water and sewer exist along Marathon Road. I anticipate the appraisal report to be completed and to you within a week. Thank you for your patience and I trust this letter meets your needs for the time being.

His recommendation was that it be released after the election. In 1990, a Public Opinion Survey was mailed to 265 registered voters in Kenai. One hundred and twelve were returned. We again recommend sending the survey to every loth registered voter, which will result in the mailing of about 284 surveys. I tried to make the questionniare more concise than those sent out in the past. 1 moved some of the questions around, so that the questions were more sequential. The demographic type questions are first, City services and spending priorities next, followed by consumer spending inquiries, and questions about taxes last. I added two questions that I thought especially relevant: #18 asking if anyone has been restricted from any City program because of a disability, and #24 asking if they would be willing to pay more sales tax to supportan ice rink. Please review the attached draft questionnaire and inform me at the October 21 meeting of any changes you would like incorporated. /kh C:\WP51\L10RK\SURVEY.MEM October 22, 1992 g, 0 Dear Voter Your name has been selected by a random sampling of the City of Kenai's voter registration list to participate in a public opinion poll.

Attached is Change Order ##1 for this change which is for a not -to -exceed without prior approval amount of $249,982. While writing this change order and studying the details and amounts of this change, I believe that $249,982 is more in line with the contract documents. I just received verbal approval of the change order from the contractor, architect, and the Alaska Court System (ACS). I recommend the Council approve of Change Order #1 for a not -to -exceed without prior approval amount of $249,982 and contingent upon written approval of the contractor, architect, and ACS. KKJkv 14 MEMORANDUM DATE: OCTOBER 2, 1992 / /'" p p9 CoofN G;v6 IF4 TO MAYOR JOHN WILLIAMS KENAI CITY COUNCIL FROM: KEITH KORNELIS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR SUBJECT: KENAI COURTHOUSE Because of the lost time caused by encountering contaminated soils, this project has been accelerated to try and get back on schedule. Without an accelerated schedule the project would have had to be shut down for the winter. The Contractor has been working 2-12 hour- shifts. The soils contamination problem is causing a lot of additional expenses. It is the City of Kenai's position that these additional costs are a result of the soils contamination problem and should be paid for by Grace Drilling Company. I received a letter from the Grace Drilling Company dated September 24, 19SA2 which indicates they are not accepting the responsibility of all costs associated with the soils contamination. I have given our City Attorney a copy of this letter. I air presently working with the Contractor, Alaska Court System (ACS), and inspectors to come up with an equitable solution for paying the Contractor for the extra cos?.s. Because of the extreme changes caused by finding contaminated soils on the site of this project we are considering changing the costs on the schedule of values by: 1) Taking the labor costs out of the concrete item and paying for the concrete labor by a cost plus method. 2) Changing the excavation item and paying for it on a time and materials cost plus method. I am still working on the details but we have received approval from the ACS in their letter of September 24, 1992 (attached). Public Works requests a Council. motion similar to: "I recommend that the City of Kenai authorize the continuance of an accelerated construction work schedule on the Kenai Courthouse similar to what is outlined in the ACS letter of September 24, 1992 with a not -to -exceed increase in the construction contract of $261,163.00." 0 APPROVAL OF ALASKA COURT SYSTEM BY _ DATE CHANGE ORDER NO.: 1 Proiect: Kenai Courthouse Initiation Date: September 4, 1992 Contractor: G & S Construction City of Kenai You are hereby requested to comply with the following changes from the contract plans and specifications: Item Description of changes - quantities, units, Change No. unit prices, change in completion schedule Increase + Decrease - The following increase to the contract is completely and solely due to the problems of encountering contaminated soils on site. If we had not found contaminated soils on site there would be no additional costs and the contractor would build this project for what he had submitted in his bid. Much of this cost is for an accelerated work schedule to get the project back on schedule so the contractor can continue to work through the winter as planned. Since Grace Drilling is the responsible party for the soils contam- ination problem the City will be asking them for reimbursement of this $249,982 change order increase to the contract.. The new total for items I, III, & IV are not to exceed without prior approval amounts and are to be paid on a time and materials method.

I BY By By Architect Contractor Owner Date Date Date ORIGINAL `" a Of 6 KENAI COURTHOUSE CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 G & S Construction started working on this project on July 28, 1992. Subcontractor, Rozak Excavating and Construction, encountered contaminated soils on the site on July 29, 1992 and work was therefore suspended. Since Grace Drilling was the responsible party, they started the clean-up operations. This included environmental engineering, testing, and the actual physical work of removing and disposing of the contaminated material. G & S was given a new Notice to Proceed on September 4, 1992. They lost 37 days of valuable time that was needed for the excavation and concrete work that has to be completed before winter freeze up. An accelerated work schedule is an absolute necessity in order to keep this project going through the winter and complete the project on time. I. Because of the contaminated soils problems, the excavation subcontractor, Rozak, is working on a completely different project than he bid on. The usable material that was contaminated has to be replaced with off site material. He is being held up whenever contaminated material is found. His whole method and schedule has changed. He has and is having extensive overtime which was and is still needed to get his necessary work completed before freeze up. He had to rent a garage for warm storage to prevent his water truck and other equipment from freezing up. The contract item for excavation is being increased by $162,927 to a new total not -to -exceed without prior approval amount of $525,050. Because of the many extreme changes the payment for the new "Excavation - T & M" item is 525 050. Excavation is being changed to a time and materials method of construction. I1. There is also a major change caused by the contaminated soils problem in the concrete item. In order to get the concrete poured before winter freeze up the contractor has had to go to an accelerated schedule working a lot of overtime. The contractor had $172,000 plus 15% for a total of $197,800 in his bid for the building, foundation, and slab (B.F.S.) concrete labor. This amount is taken out of the concrete item ($492,521) leaving a new item called "Site Concrete and all Material' with an amount of $294,721. III. The $197.800 from the concrete labor is added to the accelerated labor costs to create a new item called "Building. Foundation. and Slab - Concrete Labor - Cost Plus" with a new total not -to -exceed without prior approval amount of $248,943. The cost for this Architect Contractor Owner 'age 3� Of 16 ORIGINAL item will be the cost of the labor B.F.S. plus 15% for overhead and profit, plus 2% for bonding. IV. Because of the contaminated soils and the necessary accelerated schedule the contractor has need to rent outdoor lighting and purchase additional plywood so he can pour the concrete faster in one pour instead of four pours using the same plywood. This has created a new item called "Accelerated Schedule - Additional Material and Equipment - T & M„ for the lights and formply. The cost of this item is a not -to -exceed without prior approval amount of $15.972. V, VI, & VII. Because of the accelerated schedule caused by the contaminated soils problem the mechanical and electrical subcontractors will have a lot of overtime and additional costs to get their work done that has to be done before winter freeze up. The additional mechanical cost will be paid by (V) a lump sum increase in "Plumbing RI Under Slab" of $2,204 which brings that item to $44,224, and (VI) a lump sum increase in "HVAC RI Under Slab" of $2,203 which brings that item to $68,753. The additional electrical cost will be paid by (VII) a lump sum increase in "Electrical Under Slab Rough In" of $15,533 which brings that item to $42,247.

As we have discussed, and as was indicated in our letter of September 4, 1992, the court system is anxious to have this project proceed expeditiously. My understanding from our discussions and the correspondence (attached) is that the contractor is currently operating on an accelerated schedule and believes that the project can be back on its original schedule within the next four., or five weeks. I •.1nderstand as well that the general contract ha:s been modified to separate the excavation and form work costs from t`le schedule of values and is treating those portions of t..e pro_lect: on a separate TrrM, or force account, basis with a guaranteed maximum. Similarly, the additional inspections and changes of arcritec-oral or engineering details required by the soil problems and ':he accelerated schedule are also currently bei.n4 managed on a negot.iat:ed "not to exceed" basis. Other costs attributable to �-he cont--3minated soils problem are the supply and plact1ment of approximate.y 8,000 cubic yards of specified material to replace these contaminated soils removed from the site, and one morit .'s rental, of ar: wai'`n storage building. Page 119 OE 160, --1 R I � I 002 As we've discussed, the proposed costs associated with the mitigation of the contaminated soils are summarized as follows: CONTRACTOR A/E EXCAVATION $95,000 EXTRA CONCRETE LABOR $34,000 ADDED SUPERVISION $9,600 LIGHT $5,400 MECHANCIAL $4,000 ELECTRICAL $14,100 ADDITIONAL FORMPLY $12,716 PROBABLE FORMPLY CREDIT ($4,500) ONE MONTH GARAGE RENT $2,500 ADDTL 8000 YDS OF FILL COST OF MATL $24,000 COST OF PLACEMENT $26,400 subtotal $223,216 P/O @ 15% $33,482 Bonding costs @ 2% $4,464 TOTAL $261,163 TEAM BILL NELSON $23,535 MCG/KLUGE $13, 537 GRAND TOTAL $298,235 In conformance with the September 4, 1992 letter, the court system is in agreement with a change order for both the general contractor and design team which identifies the above items as not -to -exceed amounts in a negotiated, or T&M contract format. Jobsite documentation and pay requests must identify those costs items which are the result of the Contaminated soils problems and treat these separate from pay requests for work covered under the original construction and architectura:'_ contracts.

Our original estimate and schedule called for 48 straight time daye with 10 men to complete this work. The new schedule allows 26 days to complete this $172,000 of work. We now plan to use two eight men shifts, 10 hour a day, six days a week. We are anticipating this work will take five weeks. This translates into an added labor cost of $34,000. Our overhead percentage for payroll is 35% of employee gross pay. Added superintendent time will be required during this acceleration. Our superintendent will be required to work an additional 32 overtime hours per week. Extra supervision for the additional five week period will be $9600.00. It this expediting period extends beyond this 5 week period additional supervision costs will be incurred at the rate of $1920.00 a week. Additional lighting is going to be required. It is our intent to rent Light towers. Estimated costs per week for two towers including fuel and oil is: $1080.00 Total five week expense for light towers: $5400.00 Mechanical: Crooch and Harris has estimated his costs to expedite the underground mechanical at $4000.00. Electrical: Attached is a breakdown from Jahrig Electric for additional overtime for the underground electrical. His eetimated costs are $14065.00. Excavation: Attached is a breakdown from Rozak excavating.' We will expect 15% for overhead and profit until his orginal bid amount is exhausted. This was what we had in our orginal bid for 0 & P. We are in agreement that .any amount in excess of Rozak's orginal bid, will have a 8% overhead and profit plus bonding added for G &. S Construction. You also requested a breakdown of spec_fic schedule of value iterne. This is listed below.

Report 10/21 /92 I met with Janet George, DOT/PF Regional Planning Manager, Patrick Beckley, DOT/PF Southcentral Planning, and Rich Underkoffler, Soldotna City Manager. We discussed the Federal ISTEA program and the DOT/PF 6 year CIP program. ISTEA stands for Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991, and involves some major changes in the federal highway programs. I received a federal brochure that is a summary of ISTEA. If anyone would like a copy I can have some made. DOT/PF provided their own explanation which I have attached. It is my understanding that the federal government is providing the State of Alaska with $200 million per year for the ISTEA programs. This is $50 million more than what the federal government gave the state last year. The state is thinking of giving the boroughs 35 % of this money for them to use as they see fit on their CIP road projects. I think that KPB Mayor Don Gilman is part of a working group that is studying this idea. I did tell the DOT/PF officials that the City of Kenai would like to see ISTEA funds used on road projects within the Kenai City Limits. I also reminded Mr. Beckley that if DOT/PF was to properly upgrade N. Forest Drive and Redoubt the City would be willing to take over the road maintenance. Apparently the decision on what projects will be done will be made by the boroughs if then receive the ISTEA funds. Page 2 ISTEA 10/13/92 Attachments include: a.

KK/kv A Summary A%ie u064„ts hitffmoAlal Surface Transportation F--.fficien Act of IV91 a ULft"" "a rrangwft* n AL.ASKA EDITION INTERMODAL SURFACE TRANSPORTATION ACT OF 1991 The Intermodal Surface Transportation Act (ISTEA) makes extensive changes to our way of doing business. Funding is expanded, eligibility of types of projects are greatly expanded, the legislation is more intermodal and multimodal, there is emphasis on the movement of people and goods, and there is a strong environmental theme throughout the legislation. NATIONAL HIGHWAY SYSTEM (NHS) The National Highway System (NHS) is the major focus for the federal -aid highway program. The criteria for route selection reflects the growing awareness that the value of all modes of transportation --highway, transit, railroad, plane, ship --is enhanced if it is part of a smoothly operating intermodal network. In establishing the system, priority must be given to motor vehicle access to major ports, airports, public transportation facilities, and other intermodal transportation facilities. Interstate System Interstate Construction In Alaska the Interstate system was designated in the Federal -Aid Highway Act of 1981 to obtain additional funding. The system is not required to meet the national Interstate standards of multi -lanes divided highways with full control of access requiring grade separations and interchanges. Under this 1991 Act, the designated system is only eligible for Interstate Maintenance funds. Interstate Maintenance Projects for the Interstate Maintenance projects will be identified through the Pavement Management System recommendations. Principal Rural and Urban Arterials The state has the flexibility to propose routes for the system within the remaining mileage that are consistent with the objectives of the NHS and that.are responsive to the areas of federal emphasis. The department will undertake a review of the functional classification of roads as part of this effort. SURFACE TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM (STP) The Surface Transportation Program (STP) is the next major program. STP funds focus resources on roads that are the most important to inter- and intra-regional travel and/or connect with other modes of transportation, as well as roads essential for international commerce. This category gives State and local officials the most flexibility --and the most responsibility --in shaping their new programs. Within the Surface Transportation Program are requirements for specific sub -program setasides, including: 10 Percent Setaside for Safety Construction Activities Ten percent of the STP funds must be used for Safety projects. These projects will be identified through a Highway Safety Management Program. Projects for traffic signs and signalization, guardrail, or highway lighting can qualify. 10 Percent Setaside for Transportation Enhancement Activities Ten percent of the STP funds must be used for Transportation Enhancement activities. The definition of transportation enhancement activities includes the phrase, "with respect to any project or the area served by the project." This phrase has been interpreted to mean that the proposed transportation enhancement activity must have a direct relationship to the intermodal transportation system, but not necessarily to a currently planned highway project. This relationship may be one of function, proximity, or impact. Transportation enhancement activities must comply with all applicable environmental and other federal requirements. The department remains responsible for review of local projects to assure that funds are spent in accordance with federal and state requirements including compliance with NEPA, right of way procurement regulations, and appropriate design standards. Many enhancement categories require on -going maintenance and operational obligations. Accordingly, where these obligations are beyond the department's purview a firm commitment from a third -party sponsor to operate and maintain will be a prerequisite. There are ten categories of projects eligible under the Enhancement category: ♦ Facilities for pedestrians and bicycles Facilities must have a transportation purpose (and can't be purely recreational). However, such facilities do not have to parallel a highway facility. Facilities for pedestrians and bicycles proposed to be funded from the Enhancement category should be part of an adopted plan. ♦ Acquisition of scenic easements and scenic or historic sites Funds are eligible for acquisition of view sheds, view points or overlooks and historic properties. Historic sites should either be a transportation element (e.g., train depot) or be directly impacted and affected by a transportation project. Historic sites must be on or eligible for the historic register. Voluntary purchase of overlook or key roadside parcels that open or preserve a vista is encouraged. ♦ Scenic or historic highway programs Applicability will be considered at this time by a multi -agency task force. AMHS may be considered a potential participant in this category. ♦ Landscaping and other scenic beautification This category appears broad enough to be used for the full range of landscape treatment, including special pedestrian paving, street furniture, as well as ornamental plantings. Specialized landscaping treatment at scenic overlooks and interpretative sites may fit this category. ♦ Historic preservation The funds appear limited to preservation and do not include rehabilitation or operational cost considerations. Presumably, there must be a transportation linkage, and eligible projects could go beyond what would normally be undertaken under 106 activities. Funds should only be consider for Historic Register (or eligible) sites. ♦ Rehabilitation and operation of historic transportation buildings, structures, and facilities (including historic railroad facilities and canals) Funds appear eligible for a variety of historic rehabilitation purposes including purchase, rehabilitation and ongoing operational costs of buildings, structure or facilities. Such facilities must have served a transportation function, Rehabilitation of historic bridges appears eligible. ♦ Preservation of abandoned railway corridors (including the conversion and use thereof for pedestrian or bicycle trails Relatively few opportunities in Alaska, but DNB's primary responsibility for trails may mean they will advocate for projects in this category. Where beneficial to the public, serving a transportation purpose, and DNR or other sponsor is willing to assume maintenance in perpetuity. ♦ Control and removal of outdoor advertising Directly applicable to current needs. F HWA requires full control or we will face a 10% reduction penalty. Projects are currently underway --small funding utilization level overall. • Archaeological planning and research Applicability extends beyond normal 106 activities. Inventory or research of sites outside of existing corridors or investigations in areas which previously were given minimal treatment. Where considered, use of funds for this category should demonstrate a benefit to transportation. ♦ Mitigation of water pollution due to highway runoff Primary application may be in water quality enhancement efforts in current problem areas such as eroding embankment near a sensitive water body, or drainage from bridge decks. Primary opportunity to use money in this category may be on retrofit of older drainage features to improve them environmentally. With Alaska's current stringent water quality standards and new EPA storm water requirements this category will be an important item among activities to be funded from the enhancement program. 50 Percent Setaside by Population to Urbanized Areas Over 200,000 and the Remaining Areas of the State Alaska is exempt from this provision the Act. 30 Percent Can Be Used By the State in Any Area of the State Alaska is exempt from this provision of the Act. G In Alaska, funds under the STP may be used to improve any public road (Section 118(f)). For these purposes, a public road must be under the jurisdiction of and maintained by a public authority and open to public travel. At this time, the department will be responsible for review of local projects to assure that funds are spent in accordance with federal and state requirements including compliance with NEPA, right of way procurement regulations, and appropriate design standards. CONGESTION MITIGATION AND AIR QUALITY PROGRAM ISTEA also created a Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ). If a state has ozone and carbon monoxide nonattainment areas, the funds must be used there for transportation improvements that enhance air quality. In Alaska, the CMAQ funds will be distributed between Anchorage and Fairbanks, based on their share of the population of air quality non -attainment areas weighted by degree of air pollution. BRIDGE REPLACEMENT AND REHABILITATION PROGRAM ISTEA makes more funds available to the Bridge Program. The ISTEA makes bridge painting, seismic retrofitting, and calcium magnesium acetate applications eligible for program funding. As in the past, projects in Central Region will be identified from the updated On-System/Off-System Eligibility List prepared annually by Bridge Design.

Those in attendance included: Keith Gerken, Dept. Commissioner; Lowell Humphrey, Regional Director; Bob Boyd, Area Maintenance & Operations; and George Church, Peninsula District Supervisor plus many people from the KPB and City's around this Borough. The attached Kenai Peninsula Fact Sheet gives some of the information that was discussed at the meeting. State maintained Category III roads in the City of Kenai include: N. Forest Drive and Redoubt; Beaver Loop Road; N. Strawberry; and Cannery Road. I requested that DOT;/PF consider traffic counts or amount of use in helping to determine priority. There are Category III roads, such as N. Forest Drive and Redoubt, that have a higher traffic use than many Category 11 roads and should be given top priority. DOT/PF was receptive this suggestion and Mr. Church assured me that N. Forest Drive and Redoubt would have a high priority. During the discussion on capital projects I suggested that DOT/PF give a high priority to roads that when upgraded a municipality will take over the maintenance. This could be financed with the new federal ISI'EA funds and would lower the DOT!PF's maintenance costs. The City of Kenai has said that we would take over maintenance of N. Forest Drive and Redoubt if the State would upgrade it. DOT/PF said they would be considering that. KK/kv KENAI PENINSULA FACT SHEET A. THERE ARE 542 MILES OF STATE -MAINTAINED ROADS ON THE KENAI PENINSULA. B. STATE ROADS ARE CLASSIFIED INTO THREE CATEGORIES: CATEGORY I. PRIORI"nY ROUTES THAT PROVIDE THE INTERSTATE CONNECTING SYSTEM BETWEEN POPULATION AND ECONOMIC CENTERS, AIRPORTS AND MAJOR HARBORS, THEREBY COVERING ALASKA'S FUNDAMENTAL TRANSPORTATION ROUTES. EXAMPLES: TO MILE .1.2 TO MP 12,, SEWARD AND GLENN HIGHWAYS AND EAST END ROAD IN HOMER., AND THE KENAI SPUR ROAD FROM SOLDOTNA CATEGORY II. ROUTES WHERE STATE HAS INVESTED SUFFICIENT FEDERAL FUNDS, REQUIRED BY FEDERAL CONTRACT, A MINIMUM LEVEL OF MAINTENANCE. EXAMPLES: BRIDGE ACCESS ROAD, NASF ROAD, KALIFORNSKY BEACH ROAD. CATEGORY III. ALI, OTHER ROUTES CURRENTLY ON STATE MAINTENANCE SYSTEMS, PRIMARILY LOCAL IN NATURE. EXAMPLE: OLD STERLING HIGHWAY AND FUNNY RIVER ROAD C. STATE ROADS WILL, BE PLOWED ON A PRIORITY BASIS BEGINNING WITH CATEGORY I ROADS, THEN CATEGORY II AND CATEGORY III ROADS. D. DEPENDING ON AMOUNT OF SNOWFALL, MOST STATE ROADS ON THE KENAI PENINSULA ARE EXPECTED TO 3E PLOWED WITHIN 36 HOURS. E. CREWS WILL WORK MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY PROVIDING 12 HOURS OF CONTINUOUS SERVICE; WEEKENDS 8 HOURS. F. OVERTIME WILL BE KEPT TO A MINIMUM. NO OVERTIME WILL BE SPENT SLOWING CATEGORY III: ROADS :EXCEPT IN SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES. G. DUE TO REDUCED STATE REVENUES, CENTRAL REGION HIGHWAYS AND AVIAT?ON MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS WERE REDUCED BY $1.0 ",1.ILLION. THE KENAI PENINSULP, WAS REDUCED BY i. SNOW REMOVAL AND OTHER ROAD MAINTENANCE MONEY COMES FROM THE STATE'S OPERATIONS BUDGET. ROAD AND FACILITY CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS ARE FUNDED FROM THE STATE'S CAPITAL BUDGET. C. OVERALL DOT&PF WAS APPROPRIATED $69.8 MILLION FOR HIGHWAY AND AVIATION MAINTENANCE FOR FISCAL YEAR 1993. THIS REPRESENTS A $4.5 MILLION REDUCTION FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR. THE KENAI PENINSULA WENT FROM $6.6 MILLION IN FISCAL YEAR 1992 TO $6.0 MILLION FOR FISCAL YEAR 1993. I. MONEY FOR THE STATE'S OPERATING BUDGET COMES FROM THE STATE'S GENERAL FUND. DOT/PF IS ENCOURAGING THE STATE LEGISLATURE TO PASS LEGISLATION TO CREATE A DEDICATED FUND TO PROVIDE A STABLE SOURCE OF FUNDING FOR MAINTEN- ANCE AND OPERATION OF THE STATE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM. K:. MONEY FOR THE DEDICATED FUND WOULD COME FROM FUEL TAXES, LANDING AND LEASE FEES, AND FERRY TICKET RECEIPTS AS WELL AS VEHICLE LICENSE REGISTRATION, LICENSE AND WEIGHT FEES. L. BY INSTITUTING A DEDICATED FUND, MONEY EARNED BY THESE TRANSPORTATION AND FACILITIES FEES WOULD BE PUT BACK INTO OPERATIONS AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, INSTEAD OF BEING DISPERSED TO OTHER STATE DEPARTMENTS THROUGH THE GENERAL FUND.

T � • r� .1 :10 ■Ioy±l Ail ;Im7AIa _1:i011inroiel: r_• ALASKA, AS WE KNOW IT... • For most Alaskans, the state's unique variety of work and leisure opportunities Is key to enjoying life here. Alaska has been a land of plenty which supported almost any work and lifestyle choices we made. • Oil revenues have financed this good life In the past. ...IS ABOUT TO CHANGE! • Oil revenues are now seriously declining due to a drop-off In oil prices and produc- tion at the Prudhoe Bay oilfield. This grim economic outlook seriously threatens the way of life we Alaskans enjoy, and have come to expect. • Transportation will be one area facing cuts, as it has before. Like other state ser- vices, transportation maintenance is currently a general fund expense and pressure will increase to reduce it. Our economic returns and daily quality of life will slowly, but surely, be eaten away by potholes, unplowed roads, less frequent ferry service, and deteriorated airports and harbors. We would be totally irresponsible if we failed to bring to your attention the very serious problems we see ahead. WHAT ARE OUR OPTIONS? • We considered different solutions and shared our thinking with over 300 community leaders and organizations through newsletters and meetings: We considered asking for a large sum of money to repair all the roads, ferries, airports, and harbors that were falling apart due to years of neglect, and then do it again when they got really bad again. But that wasn't a responsible solution,; repair work that's been put off costs much more than timely mainte. nance, and people who use those facilities would suffer the costs and incon- venience of a system in poor condition. We also considered simply asking for a tax increase, and hoping the legisla- ture would fund maintenance at the level of revenues that were collected. But we heard what you said —tax increases are II_QJ okay unless they are used only on the transportation system. We considerediust cutting services. But, the community residents, business people, and industry leaders with whom we conferred expressed strong dissal- isfaction with the current condition of the state's transportation system and urged that we make fixing it up our highest priority. WHAT IF WE DO NOTHING? • We found no solutions we thought were as workable and responsible as the one we are now proposing. And, we concluded that If we do nothing to solve the financ- ing problem, It will be bad news! WHAT SHOULD WE DO? • Our current thinking is that user fees should be dedicated --separated from state general funds and earmarked for use only to fix -up and operate the transportation system. The user fees to be earmarked are motor fuel taxes, marine fuel taxes, aviation and jet fuel taxes, land lease fees, ferry ticket receipts, and registration, license, and truck weight fees. • We think earmarked revenue should be spent for highways and airport mainte- nance. For harbors, we think the revenue should be put in a Statewide Harbors Reha- bilitation Fund to pay for high priority reha- bilitation projects each year. • We think revenues should be shared fairly with local governments to maintain the local part of the transportation network. After all, the gas being taxed gets you around on local streets as well as state highways. IT WON'T BE EASY... • It will take tax and fee increases to make it work. Neglected transportation facilities will cost more. It costs much more to repair facilities that haven't been maintained. It also costs much more to drive on bad roads because of damage to tires, springs, shock ab- sorbers, and wheel align- ment. • Personal trips will be slower and more tedious. • Economlc diversification will be crippled if we let the transportation network fall apart —the worst thing we could do right now. The current level won't cover our maintenance needs. We're not asking for tax increases now, because we know a dedicated fund needs to be in place to direct these revenues toward the problem. • You won't like it. None of us want tax increases. But we believe that, of all the idoas we've looked at, increasing taxes and other user fees is the fairest way to take care of the system. It makes sense to use financing alternatives to make solving the funding problem easier. Now is the time to act because it will take several years t� put new financing methods in place. ..BUT„. TOGETHER WE CAN DO / T1 • The legislature is discussing this problem in earnest this session, and we have been working with them to fine-tune the resolutions pending in both houses. The resolu- tions would give voters the opportunity to decide whether transportation fees should be dedicated. • If the legislature approves these resolutions, a constitutional amendment to dedicate transportation revenues will appear on the 1992 primary election ballot in August. • Voters will then cast their ballots and make the decision. We need your help in the final stages of these decisions. We need to be sure we have the best answer. Are there costs, negative effects, or hardships we've overlooked? Are there other ideas we should consider? We ask you to contact us if you are concerned about these issues or know others who are. Further details are available by contacting the Office of the Commissioner, Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, 3132 Channel Drive, Juneau, AK, 99801, or by calling 465-3900. THE GOOD NEWS • with dedicated funding in place, you will know that whatever your taxes and fees, they'll show up in better roads, ferries, airports, or harbors. • The public will actually be able to Influence how much money should be collected for this work. The people paying for transportation services will be able to hold stag; government accountable for the services they are getting. • This policy idea has a good track record: Dedicated gas taxes have worked very well for the feder(; government, whose Highway Trust Fund and Aviation Trust Fend have built most of the major highways and airports In this country. • All other states dedlccte rev- enues to transportation, and it has worked well for them. Moreover, the people who framed Alaska's constitution, cr)d the voters who ratified it, agreed that a dedication of transporta- tion fees which existed in the territorial statutes should be continued after statehood. (However, two years later, in 1961, the legislature amended the statute and eliminated the dedication.)

FAX: (907)283-3014 FROM: Tom Duffy, Western Region Sales Manager RE: Baggage cart services Randy: Thank you for your call today. As we discussed over the phone, there are two methods for providing carts to your airport. Our manufacturing division has a cart available just for such circumstances. I've enclosed a brochure that describes the specifications. The cost for quantities of 10 - 50 is $150.00 each plus freight from St. Paul, Minnesota. I would guess that a quantity of 10 - 20 would be sufficient for your airport. Our method of operat.Lon at 100 U.S. airports, including Anchorage, is as a concessionaire. our revenues are generated by passengers rentinc carts. In airports under 1 - 1.5 million. TPX we generally ask the airport to guarantee our revenue at a level to cover our cost of equipment and operations. Assuming one cart management unit (CMU) and ten carts we would require income of $400 - $450 per month. Based on experience you should project that the airport will probably be responsible for about. one half of that. The rental fee for carts can be fixed at $1.00, $1.50 or $2.00, each with a $.25 reward for the return of the cart. It's likely that a larger rental fee will leave a smaller shortfall for the airport to pick up. Our sales manager for the state of Alaska is Jeff Hoff. Please feel free to contact him with any questions. At your request he can provide you with an accurate and detailed proposal. Thanks for your call and hest wishes. Thomas B.

The fee is $1,800.00 ($600.00 per month), plus tax. A three month special use permit is entered into. Proof of insurance by the air carrier is required. The special use permit allows the use of an area approximately 200' X 1150', or 30,000 square feet. This computes to $.02 per square foot ($20.00 daily). A daily use fee should be established to charge for occasional use of the airport ramp. Many times throughout the year, various companies use the airport to fly building material, oil field equipment and other :items to locations around the state. When companies use the airport for these types of flights, they usually need a staging area for a day or even as long as a week. At the present time there is no established rate to charge for this type of use. The Administration, with City Council approval, is proposing a daily use fee of $40.00 per day for the same 200' X 150' area of ramp space as delineated in a special use permit. Doubling the use fee for this type of occasional use will help offset administrative and billing costs. It may give these users an added incentive to enter into a special use permit agreement in which the fee is paid up -front and proof of insurance is required.

Feown, Acting City Vanager c�/I DATE: October- 9, 1092 Z SUBJECT: FAA Financed. Equipment Attached is a memo from me directing that equipment purchased with federal (FAA) money car not be used off the airport. Since I will not be available at the October 21, 1992 Council meeting, some explanation is in ore r. i have suspected for quite some time that the use of FAA financed equipment on pity streets was in conflict with federal regulations and various grant agreements. 1 also believed that it was only a matter of time before tho anchors or FAA persor.nei discovered the violation. The issue became public knowledge this summer upon the arrival of the new a.irpert sweeper. The sweeper was used extensively on City streets. This fact was discussed at a City Council meeting and was reported in the Inca. newspaper. This will be a "find-tna" in the federal audit report. The report will be distributed to thn inspector general of the Department of Transportation. My ;airecti_ve is being issued now so that I can respond to the "f'!ndin7" directly in the audit report. In this way, the audit report wil note the corrective action that the City has taken. ^r,i_s will probably satisfy the DCT,'FAA, and should prevent: them fror taxing serioss action against the City. You and I have no choice in this matter. There are no alternatives. If we do not take this action, the FAA will demand repayment for all the airport equipment .and, most likely, we will not receive AIP funding lentil we come into compliance. Tic FAA will not: even allow the genera'__ fund t.o pay rent to the airport for use of the equipment. It is simply prohibited. I've asked Keith to vrLie a memo no me ouzlininq the effect that this will have on the Stree� Department. We will discuss this later. We may also AnveJop a rental rate for the airportt to pay the general fund when street equipment i3 used on the a:irp:)rt. 1791-1991 CITY OF KENAI 210 FIDALGO KENAI, ALASKA 99611 TELEPHONE 283 - 7535 FAX 907-283-3014 MEMORANDUM TO: Randy Ernst, Airport Manager Keith Kornelis, Director of Public Works David Burnett, Fire Chief FROM: Charles Brown, Acting City Manager,- ��,_ DATE: October 8, 1992 " RE: Use of Federally Funded Airport Equipment As a result of a recent audit of airport finances, the auditor will report to the FAA that the City is using airport equipment on City streets.

VOLUNTEERS HONORED AT SPECIAL PARTY The official tally has been taken and another record has been set in our Visitor Information Center. For the 1992 summer season (Mid -May through Mid -September) 19,265 people visited our facility. This figure represents a 7.5% increase over last year (17,891). Assisting that many visitors and providing quality service requires more staff than we currently have. Fortunately, we have a great group of people who give of their time and talents to help out - our volunteers. L ke staff„ volunteers answer hundreds of questions per day and help direct visitors to member products and services. Sometimes, their assistance reaches far beyond the realm of helping out behind the counter. Answering the telephone, watering plants, vacuuming and other clean up jobs, sweeping the walk -way, picking up litter from around the building, stocking brochures and visitor guides, carrying boxes up and down the stairs, making a sale at the retail counter, stuffing envelopes, collating Newsletters, addressing mail and in general, just helping out, can comprise a typical day. When several hundred people come through the door each day, just a few hours of extra help can be a lifesaver. This year, 21 volunteers provided 336.5 hours of assistance. As a show of our gratitude, a volunteer appreciation party was held on 13uriday, September 13th for these very special helpers: Dan Furlong, Donna Vaughan, Sarah Waisanen, Barb Dilley, Anna Lepsien, Chuck Obendorf, Sandra Quick, Madge Tenuta, Ken Marlow, Heidi Obendorf, Jim Hart, Dan Quick, Leanne Marlow, Holly Quick, Steve Obendorf, Sandy Gower, Sylvia Burford, Daniella McCall, Mary Bicket, Rosie Reeder and Freddie Billingslea. Arid, as usual, our terrific members came through with special gifts for all of our volunteers.

This conference offers an excellent opportunity to hear presentations and meet with other community representatives on the ever- increasing environmental mancates being passed to local governments to fund. We holE�you will attend. Please take a look at the excellent content and speakers of RDC's 13th annual conference, entitled "Needs of the '90s: Prosperity and the Environment." I think you will agree this is a timely and informative conference for local government officials. Also, in response to our many rural friends and members, RDC's conference raffle has a distinct addition to our usual great list of GRAND PRIZES! Alaska Commercial Company and Polaris have donated a: , P©LRRIs I-rf /13 50 ";Iliiiiiiwiv — - 111i You might be the winner -- but only if you buy a ticket. You need not be present to win!

If your community is a member of RDC, there is an additional savings if you mention you belong to our membership. "With environmental budgets stressed... we have a profoundly serious obligation... to take into account the really important risks to health and the environment... we may need some basic recrafting of the statutes, and at least the regulations themselves, if we're to be honest with people. " William Reilly;. Administrator U.S. Environmental Protection Agency By several accounts Americans have invested some $1.4 trillion since the early 1970s in programs directed at cleaning up and protecting the environ- rrent. More than one hundred major environmental laws were implemented during this time, and impressive strides have been made against pollution. Hazardous and toxic waste dumps are being cleaned up in every state. Air quality programs targeting specific pol- lutants show well-docurnented improve- ments. Wate, bodies once badly pol- u ed now support abundant aquatic lito. R,' cyclirig programs have rriush- ,00rned and vast improvements have bE e�i achievi-�d in drinking water cual- �ty. .oastal E<nd wetland arE�as are now receiving greater protection, and wil- derness designations have been ap- r,li �cc to millions of acres of high -value ;�Jeral lands 3ui like everything else m this world. envi.,orment� l programs ci:rry a price tau. n the ca!;e of environmental man- c a e th;e cots are astrono°iiical N M How the Candidates Stand See pages 4-5 r Estimated costs of federal environmental mandates to the Municipality of Anchorage total 3429.936.737 for the 1991-2000 period.

At a House Resources hearing October 3 RDC testifyed on DEC's, proposed revisions of the states water quality standards. If you and your company were not there or on teleconfer- enc(. you can know RDC was doing its membership service by representing the broad rangE1 of community and pro - development concerns on the issue. Following are excerpts frorr my testimony to help you formulate you. overt. RDC supports water quality standards in ,Aiaska which: • Are based on good science. • Reflect costs and benefits which are real and balanced. • Are technically achievable and economically feasible. • Reflect natural water conditions. • Do not set limits to exceed native water quality. Provide adequate environmental protection without unreasonably impairing domestic, municipal, recre- ational, commercial and industrial uses of the water. • Acknowledge the global economies Alaska faces and do not unduly hand Alaska shore -based processors a deadly disadvantage. ,rr'esctjrce DeWooment Counc s Ala<.ka s ep,walc-y Iurded nororcfd ecc!c'roc delelep- rgr! -_anon vo,king to develop Al,-iska s ra7ural )u ce, in an on e,ty manner and to mate a broad- e - d jersi'ied economy whil,? prcterting and en- • Address the human situation in the 104 communities across Alaska which do not have decent community water or sewage systems. RDC supports the DEC's efforts to tailor water qua'ity standards to Alaska, including adding human health trite - a to the equation without changing the aquatic life criteria RDC also supports the more realistic risk ievel of 1 in 100,000 (instead of 1 in a million), especially since the mai risk of getting cancer from other sources is 1 in 4. RDC believes it takes a strong economy to provide t'ie financial resources to fund state programs to deal with such vital issues such as water quality. Therefore, economic realities must be included in all analyses. RDC urges this dialogue be continued in a positive ve r,, and the process is not continually delayed. It is RDC's ho,)e that EPA will participate in good faith, rather than "drive" t .e process. The local EPA office should relay to Region X hcw hard we Alaskans are working on water quality solutiors. Furthermore.. EPA should not override or undermine these efforts to bring water quality standards into line with t'i? realities of Alaska. Remember, in this exercise, numbers count!

Thoughts from the President t)y Paul S. Glavinovich Inconsistent or Naive? The preamble to the CIintor%Gore Nat io,ral Energy Policy states that "in the last decade, 8,000 of our independent oil and gas producers have closed their doors; 300,000 Ameri- :ans have lost their jobs. Of 4,500 domestic drilling rigs )perating in the United States in 1981 when Ronald Reagan and George Bush took office, less than 700 remain in opera - ion today. We've fallen behind our competitors in energy efficiency and are in danger of leaving future generations of Americans in a precarious positron of overvoielming debt and dependence-" The Clinton/Gore plan wants to "increase energy effi- ei ncy and conservation." I think most respc nsible persons would accept this goal provided that it was implemented in some rationale manner; after all, today's market place pro- r()tes such an ethic. The plan would promote the increased use of natural gas in lieu of America's continued dependency on oil as a primary enemy source. Unfortunately, the Clinton/Gore cams; ,eeni- ingly ignores the fact that present natural gas r=serv;s represent a finite resource that must be replaced by c,ntint - ous exploration and development of the same "envirc r mer - tally sensitive" areas in which U.S. oil companies ct rrenfy search for oil. More often than not, oil and gas are fount I w&,i the same geologic basin. Witness Prudhoe Bay. Clinton/Gore would also like to expand the use of one, %%- able energy sources. A grandiose goal, but one not richiev- able in the near future and, unfortunately, the plan does nct address the energy requirements of the nation while C.lintor Gore "expand the use of renewable energy sources ' The final point of the Clinton/Gore plan calls for, " sate, environmentally sound energy policy." which would "F rohibit drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska.' The Clinton/Gore plan is internally inconsistent arid fau7 to acknowledge or accept the fact that ANWR will, i i-par, provide this nation with the jobs that Mr. Clinton allege:, have been lost to the current energy policy, or lack thereof. ANW also has the potential to provide a significant percentage i:)f this nation's energy while we seek more"acceptable" a terna tives. ANWR could also provide a significant increase to th{: nation's natural gas reserves that Mr. Clinton wants s(:, desperately to expand. ANWR also represents a respersibl(� opportunity to reduce the "overwhelming debt and c'(,pe,. dency " that Mr. Clinton claims we are in danger of lea-ing °c future generations of Americans. Finally, no oil field in the world will be developed in a more strict environmenta disci- pline than will be ANWR. Inconsistent or naive? Guest Opinion "If elected, I promise to create morejobs forAlaskans through diversificat on cf our economy!' - Next time you hearthis promise from candidates for elective state office, be sure to ask what they intend to do about the Mental Health Lands litigation. the Mental Health proposed settlement, now before the courts, has the potential for blocking economic diversification and job creation in this state for many years to come. Since the Hickel administration's negotiated settlement, known as Chapter Trust Lands . 66, was announced a year ago, it has been dragging through the courts whE,re ��++ it faces years of opposition before it even has a chance for approval. E h�O n O hn I c Meanwhile, the cloud on the land has spread far beyond the original one million acres taken from the Trust and now covers 8 million acres. When t-ie Trust was dissolved in 1978, the best of the Mental Health Lands wEre opportunity transferred to municipalities, sold to private individuals, or designated as pars and refuges. Chapter 66 requires that these lands be replaced with comparat 1e hangs i n the state land of equal income producing potential. While the process of selecting replacement lands is ongoing. 6.7 milli )n acres W land, including the rSook Inlet oil and gas fields, have been pledged 31's balance security for the settlement. The Mental Health attorneys are bringing more Iaill into the dispute, including the Cook Inlet oil and gas fields, as they selEr, t proposed replacement lands which so far total 300,000 acres. Alaskans search for solution What is the impact on our, economy of tying up at least 8 million acres f to lands dilemma Alaska land? One example is that the state recently proposed reducing its ccldl royalties on the Usibelli Coal Mine near Fairbanks to help save Usibell hr S�rcrru Jrrrr Du�ra�r cor-tract with a Korean utility and hundreds of Alaskan jobs. However, becau:.I? the coal fields are involved in the Mental Health Lands dispute, reduction ii (Continued to page 7) October 1992 ' RESOURCE REVIEW ' F oge "? How the candidates stand Editor's Note: The RPSOurce Development Council educates and advocates on resource and economic issues n Alaska and at the national level. Althougra it does not endorse candidates, RDC does make an effort to educate r s membership on a candidate's position regarding important issues. As part of that effort, RDC has asked Alaska's congressional candidates and representatives for the presidential candidates to submit brief statements outlining th .ir position on oil and gas development in thf !Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Here are their responses: The Presidential Candidates -- Let's be frank. Early on in his bid for the Presidency, (governor Clinton adopted the position; that he does riot favor opening the Arctic National Wildlife Rr=fucie. For a few Alaskans. Viat's all they need to know when tl•ey cecide how tD vote. Tne rest of us choose our President by considering wide ranc,e of critical national issues. Alaskans have failed to make a persuasive case abou- ANWR. it's not Bill Cl nton s fa.uit if most Americans believe ANWR should be "locked up." It is our fault for not better educating them. Until this changes, ANWR w If remain closed r�cardless of any President's views. ANWR policy is clo:`ely linked to issues of national security anc employment. Clearly, Governor Clinton regards these as priority issues. Jr.iact, Clinton energy policy state- rrent: advocate process toward national energy indepen- de ice, including an effortto expand international markets for raturzi gas. Following a recent visit to Little Rack, I received a It tter from Bill Bur!o'l, Cli,iton's energy r:dvi-3or. He wrote; "f3Ir,ar7e be assured that thf-linton/Gore Cam maign wants to d ) the right thing whey it cornes to energy polo_ y, and that we b�i�eve the right thing incirrcfes working for err?rgy indepen- d �rce. I car, assure you tf-,:t yoc,r views are being heard by p)l;cy people at the highest levels of this ca-r;paign." On the iaay Clinton is inaugurated. we Alaskans should h,� eaciyNit! racoorcirateocampaigntoadvE:rceour energy nterests.

The only course for Alaskans is to vote for Pre{ dent Bush, wno is already committed to opening ANWR. Cliff Groh C,-,airman, Bush-Ouayre Campaign Prqe 4 ; PESOURCE REVIFVi ; October 199< Candidates for U.S. Congress --= YAICp w� Democrat I � upport opening ANWR. I think it's time we locked at some new, creative approaches to get it done. One idea that dE serves study is for Congress to allow drilling of several test wells to determine for the public the extent of oil in ANWR. Another is to initiate a master labor agreement with unions so we can get I,abor's full support in showing the jobs opening ANWR would create. As a Democrat, I'll be able to work pcsitive,y with the Congressional majority to find compro- m;ses allowir-g Alaska to reach its potential r s a resource devcicomeni state. Candidates for U.S. Senate = Ell Democrat Development of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is important for Alaska and the country. Americans need to understand it s part of the solution to our energy problems. I be ,eve development is possible without damacing the envi- ronment or wildlife, if industry uses the best technology. `o Win on ANWR, all the groups with a stake --organized labor. the oil industry, the state, environrrientalisis and Alaska Na ives -- need to be brought together.
