Brown, finance Director DATE: January 7. 1992 SUBJECT: Set Net Spec."al. Assessments Fit the ,January L5, 992 council meeting, you will have before you two pieces of legis-ation dealing with Set Net assessments. 1 Resol'.at: on No. 32-4, which establishes the assessment district on SF,t Net Drive. 2; Ordinance No. 1471-92, which approoriates money for Set Net. Drive. Notices abc:>ut: this meeting were sent_ to property owners on both Set Net Drive and Set Net c'osrt. During the public hearing on Resolution No. 92-4, the Mayor should request public comment from owners of properties on both streets. If, after the public hearing on Resolution 'Vc. 92-4 is completed, Council wishes to add Set. Net Court, this c::zn be accomplished by amending the reE:olu'ion a°id ordinance with ..he enclosed substitutes. Amendments to proposed assessment districts are covered by i:MC 16.10.070. Cary and I ha✓e discussed this. Technically, it would be very unlikely that we wtL receive enough o:,sections .from property owners to prevent tt.e :dd tic;n of Set Net Cc:,urt. It would probably take ten ob: ections fr(_ n :he twenty people ;,r the "Alternate" assessment roll. However, fr Drn a morE- pr<ac-: cal view, if three or more of the people added to the roll by the iddit:ion of Set Ne Court obJect, Council wouid probab I y not Ar isr t:c> make the subs tit°;t. ions.

Brighton, City Manager BY: Charles A. Brown, Finance Director �94 DATE: November 19, 1991 SUBJECT: Assessment Petition, Set Net Drive On November 1, 1991, the City received a petition to create a special assessment district to pave Set Net Drive, between VIP Drive and Bowpicker Lane. The petition asks for road and drainage upgrades, and that a 12% assessment be levied on the paving portion only. The petition is signed by nine individuals, but according to Borough property tzLx records, only eight are owners. Even eight satisfies the 50% test per K' 16.05.0.3); there are fifte�.,n lots involved. Set Net Drive has become a busy street. Upgrade, including paving, is desirable. The Administration agrees with .he scope of the project, which excludes Set Net Court, a dead-end ro,id that receives less traffic. The two parcels that intersect wi`_h VIP Drive (Parcels 049-400-1.1 and 049-400-22, were also assessi>d $277 and $271, respectively,, for VIP pay.-ng. We believe t1lat they should be included in this assessment district: for the benefit they are receiving. This is allowed per KKC 16.0`1 . ( 70. The Public Works Department estimates that the entire project will east about $173,300. Council has, through t: actions on recent paving special assessment districts, establ :died a policy of assessing 1:1.% on only the paving related portion of st_c}i projects. 14ork to bring the gr ,vel road a: d drainage up to stE _lord has not been in sessed. a - esu i.t., ti--.e actual percentace assessed, as a pFrcentage cf pro�jec. c(-st, .; often much lc.�«,r than i.?"s.

We estimate that three-quarters of project costs will be paving related, resulting in assessments totaling about $15,627: Project Costs Estimate of Paving Costs Paving Costs Assessment Rate Assessments Financing can be provided as follows: 1986 Road Grant 1988 Road Grant #2 General Fund, Contribution General_ Fund, to be repaid by Special Assessments $173,622 75% 130,217 _ 12% 15,627 $ 1.9,475 56,402 82,118 _ 15,627 _t 73 , 622 We also recommend that assessment payments be due in one, lump -sum amount, and that they be calculated using the square footage method. �✓ The attached draft assessment roll identifies s the parcels and estimated assessments. If Council wishes to form this assessment district, please advise the Administration at your December 4, 1991 meeting. We will then file a preliminary assessment roll with the City Clerk and draft a resolution don setting a public hearing on the matter. CoL,ncil may also want to consider the addition. of Set Net Court to the project. If this is a passibility, let us :-no,,,. at the Dece.-nber 4, 1991. meeting, and we will include this information. in our notices to property owners (including take owners on Se. Ner_ Cc:urt). Any final deci-sion of adding Set Net Court should should be made at a later public hearinc;. Or. a final note, the Administration believes that. the City Council. should rev (F .v its asf;esfiCm?at poLicv.

Regrettably we had alread,,, scheduled a function on the night of the hearinci so are unable to atr:E:nd in person. What is not clear - i.s ,�ez Net Court to be paved also under this proposal orare we simply being asked to support the paving of Set Net Drive? if Set Net Court is NOT being paved, it seem3inappropriate and inequitable to expect us to pay the same amount as a per:3onsA living directly on SErt Net Drive - we will have gained little o-- no additional value and/or convenience. This we would STRONGLY oppose such action.. If the proposal is to also pave Set- Net Courl., we would not strongly oppose it, bat could certainly not be counted as supporters.

Richa,•d B. Lauber, Chairman forth Pac:..fic Fishery Management Council P.C. Box ;1.03136 Anchorage, AK 99510 Dear Mr. Lauber: May this letter serve as our formal request to delay final implementation of the IFQ until more information has been gathered.as to ics economic impact on the communities of our state. I speak on behalf of all of the Chambers of Commerce whose communities may be impacted in an adverse way through this decision and implementation. As you are no doubt aware, from all of the resolutions which have been passed and for— warded on to you, there is grave concern as to the potential negative impact on our fishery and its coastal communities. These concerns are being voiced by our federal congressional delegation, our state Legislative representatives and our cc=unities at large. It would seem that an issue of such potential economic impact on an entire state would be meticulously studied before implementation. On a more ;political note, we believe that this issue is so controversial that it could become a liaoility to President Bush and other politicians during an election year. As emotionally charged and "populist" oriented an issue as this could be manipulated to the disadvantage of the. administration, Which must. pass on the recommendations of the NPFMC. Because of the importance o,: this issue and the substantial amount of time spent by Council to develop it, we urge you and ocher Council menbers to proceed cautiously, and take serious note of �!he potential negative impact on our state and its fisher,. resource before .reco=, ending this action to the Administrations.

Seldovia, Alaska 99663-0237 (907) 234-7646 January 01, 1992 To 'Whom it May Concern: This letter is being sent to cities, ooroughs and villages In coastal Alaska to alert them to a ma,ior new fisheries manaaement plan devised recently by the North Pacific Fishery Management Council. The .3ablefish and Halibut Fixed Gear IFC Management Plan and Its assocl�tec Imo3ementatiori Plan contain many provisions which will impact coastal Alaska people and communities if they are implemented. Many of the impacts will, witnout question. be harmful. These social and economic impacts have not yet been adequately addressed. Thev will not be unless the affected people and communities demand it,. Some of the aspects of the plan and their possible adverse Impacts on people or communities are: The number of participating boats may be drastically reduced, by over 900 2500 Alaskan participants from 1984 to 1990 are eliminated immediately As few as 200 boats could eventually participate statewide. The crew needed will be less on each boat. Over 29000 crew could loose their .Jobs in these fisheries. Wealth could be concentrated in the hands of a few. Fewer workers may be needed to process fish on shore, etc. Communities may experience reduced income and population. Boat owners are granted valuable, sellable rights to shares of the quota. Their sharing partners, the crew, get notiing - except lost jobs. Alaskans will have to buy shares from outsiders to increase Alaska's share, Exports by ship allowed only from "Primari Ports." Is your home one of these? Highgrading in the halibut fishery will likely increase - bad for halibut. The cod resource may be overfished. Dock sales and other small operator activities may become prohibitive. The Fecierai Bureaucrat.,, will grow in size and in influence over Alaskans. Mr. Ti1lion may have called to tell you ':hat this plan is good for ,'ou. Doµ,,t believe him - even for a second. He has his own tunnel vision dream of what is good for us and he'll never find the time to do this over if we don't force them to take the time to do it right now.

Adcresses and 'phone numbers are on an accompanying shee.. The Council meets again uanuary 15 in Portland Oregon. They can rescind thiylr earlier action and buy the time necessary to adequately study the impair-ts of ina alternatives to this scheme. You owe it to your =i munity and tc Alaska to write a letter or pa_�a a resolution requesting that the Council resc na its December action or IFOs ,r;r. repair or replace th.s plan with a more equitable and ccnsecvatior orier'_�c t:seeries many ement plar� which has been prcperly and adequately assessed na :;accepted by the affectea people.

Tell him that you hold the Governor personally responsible for the destruction of your livelihood and community because the fish czar, Clem Tillion, the Governor's appointee, has just successfully pushed through the IFQ plan which is going to devastate Alaskan coastal communities and the Alaskan small boat fishing industry. Tell him that you want this plan reversed by the Council in January, and. Clem Tillion replaced by someone who has Alaskans' best interests at heart. Mention that there is a great deal of talk about conflict of interest in the Council system. You might also mention that the recall movement has been fueled in your community by this IFQ decision. (2) Follow up your phone call with a letter to Governor Hickel at the below address. It can be hand written, it can be two sentences long, or a xerox of a letter you have sent in the past to the Council on IFQs. Just ma.Ke sure you send something because if we flood his office with opposition we will make a HUGE impact. Make copies of it and send them to the other 4 ad;:r==== below too. (3) Call your legislative representatives at the numbers below and voice your opposition. Murkowski and Young are both up for re-election. Make them aware that the coastal communities are looking for action in opposition to this IFQ plan.

This comes at a bad time for Alas- kan fishermen. With salmon markets in worsening shape, fishermen are trying to diversify the species they fish, including halibut and cod. If li- censes for halibut and cod arealready assigned, that will limit diversifica- tion The aim of the proposal is to limit the number offisher-men who can fish for halibut and cod. Now these fisher- ies, in federal waters beyond the state three-mile limit, are open to all com- ers. Thousands of boats — the man- agernent council estimates as many as 11,000 to 12,000 -- have entered the $100 million halibut fishery in recent years, so many that to protect the resource, federal fisheries regu- lators have limited seasons to as little as one day. That creates a hectic free- for-all that is not only inefficient, but dangerous in bad weather. But while no one wanted the cur- rent open -to -all halibut fishery to continue, critics of the ITQ proposal argue that thecouncil never seriously considered other ways of solving the problem, through traditional methods of management such as seasonal open ings combined with gear or ves- sel size limitations, or even a limited entry system bke Alaska has in salmon, which limits fishermen, but does not assign a guaranteed quota of fish. f ]lu Tn Tillion, at the center of the sG>rm, argues the guaranteed quota is needed, and dismisses the charge that a public good i.s beinggiven away. "Pillion has long argued that the root of problems in Alaska's fisheries is the fact that fishermen, competing with each other, exploit a common resource, but with no vested interest in the longevity of th,- resource. Orly through essigninga property righi will fishermen see their own interesttied tothir IonE=-term resource, he fE els. A more fundament.-1 objection may be that the quotas gill be hard for month. Tillion's boss, Gov - Walter Ilickel, is one target for lobbying. Critics argue the individual quota allocations, which cz�n be sold, amount to a windf dl for established halibut fish- ermen, mostof whom a re from out of state. In effect, they establish a private property right to a puhlic hood, at no charge, they say. Fisherman who want to enter the fishery will have to huy the quotas, much like people buv state limited entry permits f(jr may be more long-term pressure on the resource than is now expected. Similar plans have been used in New Zealand and Canada, with mixed results, critics argue. Canada had a bad experience with an ITQ system in !� its abalone fishery, and has moved cautiously in applying it to its west' coast halibut fishery, which with 450 boats is much smaller than Alaska's. To prevent overexploitation and problems it experienced with abalone fishermen, Canada investsheavily in halibut management. But to dupli- cate that in federally managed wa- ters off Alaska, federal fisheries agencies would have to spend about $18 million. They are actually plan- ning to spend about $4 million in management, which critics ofthe plan feel is inadequate.. At the same time, U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens warned the council that it is unlikely more federal funds will be forthcoming. The alternative will be some form of tax on fishermen to pay management costs, which will require amendment to the federal Magnuson Act, which controls fisheries. If the plan is adopted by U.S. Commerce Secretary Barbara Franklin (the management council's actions are actually recommendations to Franklin) it, will bring about some significant changes in the way hali- but and black cod are fished. Crone will be the hectic, dangerous one -day seasons. Iialibutwill instead be taken all year long, except for a three-month hiat,usduringthewinter months, and will most likely be com- bined with fishing for other species. But on e effect of thi s, critics ch arge, is that halibut fishermen are more likely to take theircatches directly to Seattle rather than use Alaska ports, which will take business away from Alaska shore plants. One effect, of ending the short hali- but seasons is on many Alaskans who worked as crew during the short, but ucrative, fisher}. It will be harder to Find crew jobs as the fishery changes to one operatmh for nine months of .l'a,;e Z • Alaska Journal of Commerce • Januory f; 1992 Kodiak senator; Quota cure worse than disease r,v.Sen Fred F. Zharoff The controversy over the proposed individual fishing quota (IE'Q) man- a;ement scheme brings to mind a q ,ote by Winston Churchill, who said, "Democracy is the worst system de- vised by wit. ofman, except for all the cthers.- After studying the proposed IFQs (also called individual transferable quotas, or ITQs) and other schemes to control participation by commercial fishermen, one could accurately re- p[ ra se that quote to say, "Open access is, the worst fishery management w stern devised by man, except for all the others." On Sept. 29, the North I'veific hshery Management Council liPproved in principal the creation of ar; IFQ program for halibut and sablefish (black cod) in an attempt to 'srlve" the problems of the current open access fishery. ']'hese include short openings, pro- ce�sing bottlenecks, hazardous fish- int� conditions, and gear loss. These problems, however, will pale in com- parison to the problems the council an d thefishery managers will con fron t if and when an IFQ system goes into efl'r,ct. Under an IFQ system, the re. source would be divided into shares, which could be bought or sold. No one con ld fish unless they owned shares, wh ch would be initially issued by the gocernmenton thebasisofpast catch records. Rather than simplify the srtu.ation, IFQs will result in more conflict and turmoil, make the council's and fishery managers" jobs much more complicated, and create mca•e difficulty for the thousands of people who work as commercial fish- ermen. Ir southwest Alaska, the most suc.-essful fishermen adapt to changing market and biological con- ditir,ns by diversifying, as the need arises, into multiple fisheries. IFQs wil I — to a large degree — destroy this flexibility by locking out fisher men who don't own shares. IFQs will create an additional layer of cost for fishermen, In addition to their vessels, gear, safety equipment, licenses, and obse-verfees,fishermen willalsohave to purchase IFQs. If "ur experience with salmon lim iced intryinAlaska isany indication, the cast will soon become prohibitive. Alaska's coastal communities will sutTer from major economic disloca- tion, tinder proposed regulations, marl v communities will excluded from the category of designated delivery ports, resulting in Lost processinl; jobs and lost local business. The curie n t halibut seasons-- short IFQ enforcement will be extremely compli- cated. IFQs would provide a cover for ille- gal fresh fish on the market. IFQs would encourage under -reporting of the actual catches and high -grading, so that smaller sized and less desirable fish are dis- carded. Plans are in the works to thwart illegal activities. But unless adequate fi- nancial resources are committed early, they are doomed to failure. A struggling and underfunded program of this com- plexity will be crippled from the start. Over time, IFQ ownership will be concentrated in the hands of a few. as they may be — provide a substan- i tial economicboostfor local fishermen, 1 local processing plants, and for the i people who work in the plants. IFQs will provide an incentive for bypass- ingAlaskan ports. Communitiesthat generate less local revenue will be- come an increasing financial burden on the state, affecting every citizen in Alaska.

Over time, IFQ ownership will bt- concentrated in the hands of a few. Even with ownership restrictions of no more than 1 percent of the sablefish shares and one-half percent of the halibut shares, individuals and — Sen. Fred Zharoff companies could maneuver to con .rol more shares of the resource, resin ing in under-the-table deals and hidden ownership schemes. One of the most frightening asp(c t; is the huge bureaucracy that will tic• established to administer and enfe,rr, e this new system. The fish r,; industry'sregulatory side will becoo,e even more burdensome. U-S. Sen. It d Stevens, in a June 24, 1991 letter 1 o the council, expressed concern abort the expected cost. "In these tif;ht budget times, finding additiocal money will be extremely difficult," he said. "In light of this reality, I hcae the council will explore carefully th.e budget impacts of all available mar, agement options." The council has not followed Sen Stevens'advice. IFQ management an vI enforcement cost is now estimated a $3.8 million, which still may need be revised upwards. Where will all this money con c from? It will come out ofthe pockets <' fishermen and taxpayers. The higher price fishermen supposedly will r> ceive for their "market -driven" prod uct under an IFQ system is illusion. ary. It will be wiped out by the higher administrative expenses they mur t bear. One of the paradoxes of effort. limitation schemes the world over --- whether they be in Canada, New Zealand, or the United States — s, Continued on Page i Zharoff on quotas Continued from Page 2 that they may solve a few specific problems, t)ut they end up making the overall situation worse. We do have alternatives to IFQs such as establishing smaller regula- toryareas, exclusive registration, trip limits and flexible openings for weather conditions. Ifthe council put the same amount of effort into using these traditional management tools as it has into IFQs, we might find ways to solve the problem. Instead, the council has single- mindedlyfocusedon IFQs as the solu- tion to all of these possible problems, The council should manage for the perpetuation of the resource rather than for the control ofthe people who work in the industry. The counci I has wasted hundreds of hours on IFQs that could have been used to address so many other pre ingissues.

Third, it would eliminate the current gear losses that occur because fishermen set more gear than they can retrieve before the end of the brief halibut openings. Finally, it would allow fishermen to fish in areas and weather conditions and at a pace that decrease gear losses. The IPHC estimated that 1,860 skates were lost during 1990 and that this lost gear killed about 2 million pounds of halibut (Tables 23 and 2.4). It is estimated that an IFQ program would have reduced the cost of lost gear replacement by $2.0 million in 1990 (Table 4.1). With an exvessel price of $1.78 per pound in the 1990 Alaska hahbut fishery, the exvessel value of the foregone harvest was about $3.6 million. If an IFQ program would have decreased the foregone catch by 50%,'there would have been an additional saving of $1.8 million for a total saving of $3.8 due to reduced gear losses. 4.1.6 Effects of an IFQ Program on Gear Conflicts with Other Fisheries Although an IFQ program will tend to decrease -gear conflicts within the halibut fishery, it may increase gear conflicts between halibut fishermen and other fishermen by increasing the areas and length of periods in which such conflicts can occur. For example, it is less costly for trawlers to avoid the halibut grounds during the brief halibut openings than to avoid these areas most of the year. Similarly, the areas and times with a high risk of gear conflicts are easier to identify and avoid with the current intensive halibut fishing periods than with an IFQ program. No attempt has been made to estimate the magnitude of this effect. 4.1.7 Effects of an IFO Program on Other Gear Costs Another gear cost that would be reduced by an IFQ program is the cost of redundant gear. With IFQs, the opportunity cost of the time required to repair gear or return to port to replace lost or damaged gear would be much less than it currently is with the very brief intensive halibut openings. Therefore, vessels tend to carry more backup gear, than they would with an IFQ program. This redundant gear not only includes longline gear, it also includes electronic fishing, navigation, and communications gear. In the benefit cost analysis of the Canadian individual vessel quota (IVQ) program, it was estimated that the annual savings due to a reduction in redundant gear would be about $13 million. If this estimate is used for the Alaska halibut fishery but expanded by a factor that reflects the greater landings in the Alaska fishery, adjusted using the exchange rate, and then decreased by 50% to adjust for the redundancy that may be reasonable even when fishing in an IFQ fishery off Alaska, the resulting estimated cost savings for the Alaska fishery would be $3.0 million. This saving would be increased to the extent that the IFQ program would decrease the number of halibut vessels and, therefore, decrease the amount of gear that is purchased specifically for the halibut fishers. No attempt has been made to estimate this additional saving. 4 4.1.8 Effects of an IFO Program on Bait Casts There are two reasons why bait costs will be lower with an IFQ program. First, less bait will be required because fewer hooks will be fished_ Second, the cost per unit of bait will be lower either because a lower quality of bait will be used or because the halibut fishermen will catch their own bait. The second is explained by the decrease in the incentive to maximize the rate of harvest with an IFQ program. In the benefit cost analysis of the Canadian IVQ program, it was estimated that the saving on bait cost would be about $0.7 million. If this estimate is inflated to account for the larger catch in the Alaska fishery and adjusted using the current exchange rate, it increases to about $3.0 million. The :ost model generated an estimated bait saving of $0.8 million. The initial distribution of quota shares will have an effect on the ability of individuals to obtain IFQs. Those who are given QSs are made wealthier and more able to control IFQs. Therefore, an IFO program will increase the wealth and bargaining strength of the initial recipients of the QSs. 4.1.15 Effects of an IFQ Program on the Geographic Distribution of Halibut Landings By increasing the flexibility fishermen will have in determining fishing and landing strategies, an IFQ program can change the geographical distribution of landings. The transferability of IFQs will tend to assure that the distribution of landings reflects most benefits and costs; however, it is difficult to predict what the distribution of landings will be. Some of the effects of an IFQ program} will increase: the competitiveness of ports close to the halibut grounds but other effects will decrease their competitiveness. It is not known which will prevail. The ports that have relied heavily on tender:: for an advantage in obtaining landings or ports that are competitive principally due to the: concentrations of landings after each brief opening will tend to be less competitive with an IFC program. It is possible that the change in competitiveness will eliminate some ports as halibut landing, sites. If halibut landings were sufficiently important to a processor or community at such a port, they could assure continued landings by obtaining IFQs or delivery contracts with those who have IFQs.. 4.1.16 Effects of an IFQ Program on the Stability, and Use of a Community's Residential Labor Force An IFQ program would provide greater flexibility in making use of a community's residential labor force. Landings and processing could be scheduled to make the best use of the residential labor force and decrease the use of transient labor. However, it is not !mown to what extent an IFQ program would change the use of resident and transient labor forces.. 4.1.17 Effects of an IFQ Program on the Ability of Additional Communities to Participate in the Halibut Fishery Some rural communities adjacent to the fishery resource are not yet participating the halibut fishery. The residents of these communities typically lack the expertise and financial backing necessary to invest in large fishing vessels and they also may lack convenient access to processing facilities. The shorter the season the more difficult it is for these communities to attract processors or interest existing pro :essors in the Iandings. Without local processors, local fishermen are unable to use their smaller fishiing vessels for halibut fishing. Three possible examples of communities such as this, in regards to the halibut fishery, are Atka, St. George, and St. Paul, all in the BSAI area. These communities have shown interest in longline fisheries and two are expanding harbor facilities. However, they have: not fully participated in the halibut fishery yet. Rural coastal community involvement in the halibut fishery, with relatively few exceptions, is not perceived to be a problem at this time. Most of the communities whose residents do not participate are likely to be in areas where the halibut grounds are offshore and out of range of their traditional vessels. These areas are also those with longer seasons so that these residents could have participated in the past if they had been prepared. While they might become interested in the future, the increases in effort from larger vessels is expected to shorten seasons, thereby decreasing the opportunities for new involvement by these communities. 4-10 Table 4.1 Harvesting cost model estimates.

It is important to note that there are many rural Alaska coastal communities that rely heavily on halibut for subsistence purposes. These communities also rely, to some extent, on halibut for income in a commercial sense. Chapter S of this document provides a detailed description of these, communities and their reliance on the halibut resource. 4.1.18 Effects of an IFO Program on the Economic Stability of the Halibut Fishery and Fishing Communities On a year to year basis, industry members have no firm idea of whether or not they'will be able to secure sufficient product. This is the case in terms of both short and long-term planning. In areas with only a few very short openings, if a vessel breaks down, a fisherman might miss all or a substantial portion of the season. Likewise, increased fishing effort does not allow processors to plan for consistent or orderly processing. The short-term discontinuities make planning difficult. Long- term plans can be made but, unlike some other industries, participants are not guaranteed acce:»s to halibut. Several towns in southeast Alaska, especially Petersburg, traditionally had longiine fleets. These meets now are partially diversified into other fisheries as a result'of short halibut and sable tiish seasons. Likewise, with an increase in the number of halibut vessels and stable or decreasing stocks. (A) fishermen who had relied on halibut have had to turn to other fisheries in order to maintain their income,. In some instances, increased effort or decreased stocks will cause fishermen to leave the (e) fishery or the occupation. As fishermen switch fisheries or occupations their living standards may LG) suffer. This is especially true in communities which offer few alternatives to fishing. In these CBS communities, especially along the Alaskan coast, communities could experience reduced income and population. The data presented in Table 3.20 demonstrates the volatility of participation in the halibut fishe ry. Of the 9,335 different vessel owners who participated between 1984 and 1990, 43% have done so -or only one: year while only 5% have participated all seven years. The implementation of an IFQ program would result in significant changes in the halibut fishery. Initially, these changes would increase uncertainty and decrease stability. However, once tite adjustments are made, IFQs would decrease uncertainty and increase the ability of fishermen and processors to plan their participation in the halibut fishery. By reducing the level of overcapitalization, an IFQ program will also tend to dampen. 'the fluctuations in income and employment associated with changes in quotas and landings. 4.1.19 Effects of an IFQ Program on Other Fisheries By relieving pressure on the halibut fishery, a halibut IFQ program would tend to increase .'participati:on in other fisheries for two reasons. One reason is that participation in the other fisheries would probably increase as fishermen attempt to create a record of participation is the expectation that IFQs would eventually be used in those fisheries. The increased participation in the other fisheries would impose costs on fishermen who are already participating in those fisheries. Another reason is that those who chose not to participate in the halibut fishery might be more likely to participate in the other fisheries. However, this redirected effort would likely be minimal due tc the fact that most habbut fishery participants are already participating in other fisheries. The halibut season openings in the major halibut landing areas are only two days long currently and most fishermen are enganged in other fisheries during the rest of the year. Those that cease to .fish halibut would be freeing up only a very limited amount of .fishing time to direct at other Fisheries. Additionally, most of the boats that fish halibut are small vessels under 50 feet in length whose 4-14 lopportunities to participate in other fisheries are very limited. This is particularly true of the vessels that would most likely not find it viable to continue in the halibut fishery; i.e., those that receive QS J which amounts to substantially less than their average past landings. There are other factors involved which may tend to increase pressure on other fisheries under a halibut IFQ program. If longline fishermen in other directed fisheries, such as Pacific cod and rockfish, are able to retain their halibut bycatch with IFQs, then their directed fishery for the other species may be more economically viable than before when they had to discard incidentally caught halibut. The marginal costs of harvesting halibut as bycatch are much lower than in a directed fishery situation. The attractiveness of this situation may induce additional participation ift these fisheries as fishermen grasp an opportunity at a more economically efficient operation. In the recently instituted Canadian Individual Vessel Quota (IVQ) program this situation apparently has occured with respect to rockfish. Additional effort has been exerted in the directed longline fishery for rockfish, resulting in the total allowable catch of this species to be taken in a much shorter period of time: than has previously been experienced (Zyblut, personal communication). Actually, there is a two -hold reason that the TAC was taken quicker this year than usual. Fishermen in the IVQ halibut fishery are now retaining the incidentally caught rockfish that were previously discarded in the fast -paced, open access fishery for halibut. These retained rockfish are now being reported and counted against the TAG A similar situation could likely occur in the Southeast Area off Alaska under a halibut IFQ system. Additional effort could be exerted against rockfish stocks, assuming an ability to retain incidentally caught halibut. Without the derby style "race for fish", unreported (and discarded) bycatch of rockfish in the directed halibut fishery would likely be reduced and these species would now be landed and the landings counted against the TAG These combined factors would likely increase the possibility that the TAC for these rockfish species would be reached earlier than traditionally occurs. On rche positive side, the IFQ program would result in much better accounting of the actual mortality of these species. The demersal shelf rockfish complex has a low TAC of 425 mt (1991) and mortality of this species in the directed hahbut fishery is currently unknown. The IFQ system would likely result in fisheries managers having a more accurate understanding of demersal shelf rockfish stocks. 4.1.20 f"ffects of an MO Program on Groundfish Discards in the Halibut Fshery When there is a premium on the rate of harvest, the costs of taking the time to retain bycatch are higher. .As a result, the bycatch of rockfish and other groundfish that might otherwise be retained is discarded in the current open access fishery. The mortality rate for the discarded rockfish is almost 100%, bLLt much lower for other species. An IFQ program is expected to decrease the premium on the rate of harvest and to increase the amount of bycatch that is retained by halibut fishermen. This will provide two types of benefits It will increase the exvessel value of total catch because more will be retained. It will also results in less uncertainty concerning total fishing mortality for the species taken as bycatch in the halibut fishery. Because rockfish typically have been discarded, it is not known what the rockfish bycatch rate hris been in the halibut fishery. If a bycatch rate of 10% is assumed, as was done for the Canadian halibut fishery, approximately 7.0 million pounds of rockfish were taken in the Alaska halibut fishery in 1990. 1Jsing the average 1990 exvessel price of rockfish of $0.24 ($/lb round weight) for all gear or 50.41 for longline gear, the potential exvessel value of the rockfish bycatch in the halibut fishery was from S1.7 million to S29 million. 4-15 5.2 Description of Affected Communities 5.2.1 Relevant community profiles Previous community profiles developed by the Council are to be found in Langdon and Miller (1983, 1984a and 1984b) and IAI (1991). The communities profiled are those of Akutan, Kodiak, Petersburg, Saint Paul, Sand Point, and Unalaska, Alaska; Bellingham and Seattle, Washington; :Ind Newport, Oregon. The Langdon and Miller study was of the halibut fishery; that by IAI was of the North Pacific groundfish fishery. Both data sets have been fully utilized in this literature review and are the basis for the descriptions in Sections 5.1.1 and 5.1.2 above. Extensive additional material has been drawn from the community profiles developed by the Subsistence Division, Alaska Department of Fish and Game of rural Alaskan coastal communities. This material has been incorporated into Sections 5.1.1 and 5.1.3 above. Information from social impact studies undertaken for or by the Minerals Management Service and the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior, and for the Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture has been incorporated where appropriate. 5.2.2 Size. composition. and stability of affected work force No comprehensive survey of halibut fishermen and processing workers has been undertaken for this 8 FMP amendment. Estimates based on the studies reviewed in Section 5.1.1 are that, in 1990, there were 14,889 fishermen and 4,500 point -of -landing processing workers involved in the halibut fishery. (The estimates of the number of fishermen employed in the fishery developed as part of the economic analysis in Section 4.1.13 above is 14,721; since these estimates were developed separately from different source materials, their similarity indicates that they are realistic.) Langdon and Miller (1984b), using IPHC survey data of the fishery, showed that there were 2,050 halibut fishermen m 1978 and 2,809 fishermen in 1982. The increase was attributed to the shift to the open access "derhy" fishery in 1977. �C\\ Between 1984 and 1990, 8,212 vessel owners have participated in the fishery, and, in 1990, there were ) 3,823 permit holders. In Tables 3.20 and 3.21 the movement in and out of the fishery since 1984 is shown. Only 6 percent of vessels fished in all seven years between 1984 and 1990. This movement in and out of the fishery has three explanations. Fist, the short seasons made it possible for fishermen to fish for halibut without affecting their participation in other fisheries. Second, the development of the longline fishery for Pacific cad and sablefish increased the number of larger vessels able to fish for halibut. Finally, a number of fishermen sought to develop a record of participation in the fishery prior to ally consideration of access controls by the Council. For these reasons, the number of fishermen and ,,,.vessels in the fishery has grown rapidly. Langdon and Miller (1984b:33-34) showed that the fishery in 1982 had offered relatively stable and continuous employment for fishermen. The mean age �)f fishermen, in their sample was 40.66 years, and the mean number of years of experience in the halib It fishery was 13.05 years. The fishery has three principal components; the vessels from "Outside" which tend to be larger and exploit the western halibut fisheries; the vessels from urban Alaskan communities; and the vessels associated with rural Alaskan communities. The rural communities have, in the main, hight:r proportions of Alaska Natives as residents and fishermen and grezter numbers of smaller vessels, particularly skiffs.

(A) The most recent survey of halibut fishermen, carried out in 1982 by Langdon and Miller. showed that 7 percent of the fishermen were residents of Washington State; 37.5 percent lived in Southeast Alaska (including Yakutat); 3.2 percent lived in Prince William Sound communities; 35.6 percent resided in Cook Inlet communities; 11.1 lived on Kodiak Island, and 3 percent in the Lower Ah ska Peninsula and Aleutian Islands. Of the Alaskan fishermen, 72 percent lived in urban communities. The crews are typically paid on a crew-share/boat-share basis. This pattern of payment extends back to the early days of the halibut fishery. The Deep Sea Fishermen's Union (DSFU) fpunded in 1912, has represented the Puget Sound fishermen in negotiations about pay and conditions with the Fishing Vessel Owner's Association (FVOA) since 1914. This is the only example of organized labor -owner agreements in the fishery. 5.2-3 Relative economic importance of the halibut fishery The Iiterature survey has not provided sufficient specific information to assess the econoric dl J importance of the halibut fishery to communities. . In general, there are few employment opportunities other than commercial fishing available -to residents of rural Alaskan communities described in Section 5.1. In consequence, any change in the allocation of harvest rights to a fishery will have: impacts on rural Alaskan fishermen and their communities. The commercial fishing industries of Kodiak. Seward and Sitka will be impacted by an allocation scheme, but it is difficult to predict from the literature survey what that impact will be; much will depend on developments in the halibut marketing and processing sector. The communities of the Upper Cook Inlet(Kerai Peninsula and Seattle have diversified urban economies, and changes in the allocation of halibut%—, harvests will have little or no effect on the social and cultural systems of these urban areas. eatile may benefit from an allocation scheme since it, and other Northwest ports, may regain landings Icst J to Alaskan ports. Other Pacific Northwest communities in Washington and Oregon will have sonic social impacts from an allocation program, but these will be relatively minor and will primarily affect vessel owners resident in those communities. 5.3 Analvsis of the Alternatives Two alternatives are being considered for the future management of the halibut fishery. Alternative 1 is the existing status quo in the fishery; that is, the fishery would continue as an open access fishery with harvest controlled through area -specific seasonal quotas. The fishery would continue as described in Section 5.1 above; increasing numbers of vessels and gear, leading to ever -shorter seasons and decreasing catch per unit of effort. The problems and issues related to continuation of the stati-'a quo fishery have been identified and listed in Section 4.0 above. The second alternative under consideration by the Council is the introduction of an individual fishing quota (IFQ) program for hialtbut fishery in the waters off Alaska. The Council is considering three variants of an IFQ program. However, all would allocate quota shares (QS) in the fishery to participants proportionate to their historical fishing records. After the total allowable catch (TAC) for a givers fishing year has been specified, IFQs would be set. The IFQ would be the poundage equivalent of the proportionate ratio of QS to the TAC. Thus the amount available for harvest under an rFQ would vary each year with the size of the TAC. IFQs would be transferable under all variants of the program. In two variants of the program, portions of the TAC would be set aside for community development_ 5-47 The foi1owing discussion of issues, costs and benefits of possible adoption of an IFQ program are based on a qualitative assessment of social impacts. As noted previously, it has not been possible to conduct a social impact study and this assessment is based on a survey of available literature. 5.3.1 Assessment of impacts The discussion of impacts is organized by issue so that the reader can refer to the discussion of economic impacts in Sections 4.1 and 7. 5.3.1.1 Provision of a harvest share -� a. The allocation of a QS to an individual is the allocation of a fishing privilege and not :he allocation of a piece of real property. Further, the yearly poundage represented by the ratio of the QS to the TAC will fluctuate as the stock biomass changes. Currently, the biomass appears to be decreasing and thus the annual poundage of the iFQ will also decrease until the stock recovers and TAC is increased b. The Council proposes to allocate QS and IFQ to vessel owners and qualified bareboat charterers who landed halibut in designated years. In so doing the Council will recognize the capital investment and risk taken by these individuals and/or companies. Crew and hired skippers have also invested time and labor as co -venturers paid through the vessel share system, but these investments are not recognized in the allocation of harvest shares proposed. c. Since the IFQ is proportionate to historic catches, and these have been declining over time (see Table 5.1), an individual vessel owner will not see any immediate increase in catches and will forgo the opportunity of "striking it rich" through fishing skill or luck, for the opportunity to expand fishing operations through the purchase of additional QS or IFQs. However, the vessel owner is assured of the opportunity to take the full poundage of an IFQ during the season, and not be subject to the need to take unnecessary risks in bad weather or in fishing practices in order to maximize harvests during an opening. Further, mechanical or othervessel problems can be resolved without missing the opportunity to fish for halibut, as was the =e with, for example, engine failure at the beginning of an opening. A significant social ar,d cultural impact of the introduction of an IFQ program is' the switch from a "hunting ar,d r� fishing" culture to a "farming" culture. For many the attraction and satisfactions of fishing ;is Ca life-style will fade with the introduction of quotas and the lessening of feelings of competitiveness and independence. d The initial allocation of QS and IFQs will fix the maximum social parameters of the fishery. Access to the fishery, -unless the Council and Secretary change the IFQ program through an FMP amendment, will be by purchase or lease of QS and IFQ or through inheritance in years after implementation of the program. Since many of the initial allocations will be small, it is predicted that the number of vessels and fishermen will decrease as unprofitable QS and IFQs are sold or transferred The economic model suggests that an economically efficient fishery `. woiuld contain 288 to 376 vessels with 1,504 to 1,976 fishermen. This economically efficient \\)) //// C r•, `y -1 ( IIec:t. would be similar in numbers to that operating in the halibut fishery in 1978 (Langdott J and Miller, 1984b), but with increased fishing power due to improved technologies. Sinn: much of the rural Alaskan fishery operates within a mixed cash -subsistence economy, with different criteria of efficiency, availability of QS and IFQs to the present operators of the flee of skiffs and medium-sized vessels will permit continuance of traditional fishing, but will no encourage economic growth in rural communities. MK In summary, there will be social benefits accruing to the individual and community from the allocation of QS and IFQs in removing uncertainty about the potential size o& and returns from, harvests. Some of this uncertainty is related to income, or to conflicts with openings in the salmon or sablefish fisheries, but other forms are purely social; an oft heard complaint was that the preparations for the May halibut opening conflicted with traditional Native ceremonies and with family celebrations, such as high school graduations. Further social benefits will accrue from the reduction of some of the operating risks associated with fishing in an open access, "derby" fishery, especially in the reduction of pressure to fish in an unsafe manner. QS and IFQs represent privileges that can be transferred, through sale or gift, to others; the social benefits to individuals and communities is that traditional patterns of life can be maintained if it; is chosen to do so, or the benefits of economically efficient fishing businesses can be achieved. The social costs associated with the proposed allocation of IFQs include three factors that will affect the social and cultural dynamics of the fishery and fishing communities. First, the program does riot provide individuals with the opportunity to increase their share of the fishery through the application of skill alone, and thus for many represents a less-satisf k life style. A further social "cost" is the possibility that the allocations may enhance the discrepancy in life -opportunities existing for residents of rural communities vis-a-vis those from urban areas; Alaska Natives and others with a subsistence component in their domestic economy will likely be impacted adversely in particular. Urban communities offer a variety of job opportunities and, because of their size, the infrastructure to support fishing- and processor -support activities. If the rationalization of the fishery by the quota system succeeds, there is a real possibility that processing will become concentrated in urban locations, further impoverishing the rural communities. finally, the allocation will stratify t ne harvesting sector industry and create, formally, a class of individuals who are owners of shares &id another class of non -shareholding workers; while the transferability of shares through the market- place will take place, both kin -based vessel operation and the opportunity of crew and hired skippers to own their own vessels operating in the fishery will be impacted Family -based fishing operatio is .are found throughout the fishery; vessels are owned jointly with kin and, particularly in rural communities, crews are kin -based Allocation of QS and IFQs are to be made to individuals (real and corporate) and thus for family interests to be maintained as a unit, families must be prepared :o incorporate their fishing enterprises. Crew and hired skippers have always had the opportunity ; o work hard, learn the trade, and advance through chartering vessels, and fishing on their own account or by buying small vessels and working their way back to the top. • The purchase of a QS or IFQ w i I be an additional economic barrier to achieving the social goal of "being your own boss." 5.3.1.2 Choice of criteria for a harvest share The Council has proposed a number of criteria on which to base a QS. These will be reviewed in 'turn. a. The period of years on which fishing history will be based is potentially a socially important sifting device. Newcomers to a fishery will receive a smaller share if a longer historical perioi is selected, while the longer the historical period chosen the greater the share to fisherme -i who have always utilized halibut. Tables 3.20 and 3.21 above show that 8,212 owners operatedi vessels in the halibut fishery during the period 1984-1990; of these owners, 3,441 (42 percent) operated vessels for only year in the period, while 479 owners (6 percent) operated vessels iAr every year of the seven year period. Selecting the best 5 of 7 years as the basis for allocation would reward many fishermen with a long tenure in the fishery, but would penalize skit: fishermen. Catches in the skiff fishery in 1990 had declined to an average of 1,081 pounds pe skiff, or 41 percent of the average catch by skiff fishermen in 1984 (see Table 5.1). Fo 5-49 fishermen who were not able to participate fully in the fishery -- for reasons of bad weather during openings, conflicts between halibut and salmon openings, or need to take subsistence harvests from their commercial catches* for example -- assignment of zero to years with no immmercial halibut catch would lead to minimal QS. Since the rural Alaskan communities have the highest proportion of skiffs, the lowest -income fishermen would not benefit from the application of the best 5 of 7 years, or best 3 of 5 years. The selection of Option 2, of Council Alternative 2.2 — the best single year between 1988 and 1990 — would level the playing field by rewarding fishermen for their best efforts in the fishery and would simplify the allocation process by avoiding conflicts. b. Mocation which conforms to existing patterns of activity is likely to be less disruptive than one which crosses those lines. The use of vessels described in the earlier sections of this chapter suggests three components to the fishery. The small vessel or skiff fishery with vessels less than 35 feet in length; the combination longline and salmon seine vessels up to 60 feet in length; and the larger vessels in excess of 60 feet. Each vessel type serves a particular set of community and social needs; allocation which is made to vessel classes will permit, for example, fishermen from Kodiak who commonly fish in the salmon seine fishery to trade QS and IFQs among themselves without competition from vessels larger than 60 feet. This will have the effect of protecting small businesses and rural communities. Since QS and IFQs would be transferable within vessel categories, social and economic benefits of the sale of quota would be maintained The benefits of a freely tradeable QS, regardless of vessel size, are outweighed by the social costs of potential loss of QS from rural communities and smaller fishing businesses. While every share may have a "price," the purchasing power of larger ventures could easily strip some Alaskan communities of the QS needed to maintain a viable fishery. If there is insufficient halibut being landed to justify a processing line or a shipment of fresh fish, fishermen remaining in the fishery, and their community, could suffer the social and economic consequences of loss or devaluation of QS and IFQ& C. Of the options proposed for transfer of QS and IFQs, it appears that Option 1 of Council Alternative 2.2, that QS and IFQs be fully saleable and leasable, has the greatest social benefits if the Council selects a program of allocation by vessel characteristics. This will ensure free flow of quota within vessel classes and optimize the flexibility of operators o obtain additional quota or to leave/enter the fishery, while shielding smaller businesses and/or Waal communities from the economic power of larger ones. d. Without further study it is not possible to comment on the specific social impacts of the community development set -asides or the proposed open access set -aside. Community development quotas and open -access fisheries with registration areas could be very helpful in achieving the social goals of maintaining the community -based fisheries in Alaska and is providing "nursery grounds" for new entrants to the fishery. Community quotas, if used witn care, could also ensure the throughput of fish within a port to maintain a halibut processing facility and retain its attendant employment in the community. 5.3.13 Flexibility in operations An IFQ system will provide each participant in the fishery with a share of the allowable harvest that can be taken at almost• any. time in the fishing year. in theory. this will permit QS owners to plan their fishing operations in a way which will permit the greatest efficiency in their use of Iabor and capital, and enable them to provide fresh halibut to the market -place in a form and at a time tha,. maximizes returns. 5-50 1)tms Laslrbo.glr f Writer HOMER NEWS �isheraes management council oks ITQs A hiniir41 enter rj-,n tk� but aryl black Cod fyshennenshams in the idol (af�h tfuotas gained final appiova n the Notch Pacific Fishery Mariagement ,rrncit i;tst weekend Council mcniber Clem'fillion, who has uf>irined il)e plans for Gov.

Alternatively, DFO should seek co• operation from the province to alleviate the necessity of drawing firm boundaries. The Department has pursued neither of these aptions with British Columbia, consequently the nix Individual quota systems that have been implemented in Pacific fisheries may be subject to legal challenge on these jurisdictional grounds. From the Commission of Inquiry's public hearings and written briefs, and from casual conversations with fishermen and industry workers, the points against quotas can be summarized as follows: • they convert a common property resource to private property; + difficulty of enforcement of high grading and the exceeding of quota limits; • threat of foreign control; a concentration of licences in the hands of too few individuals or corporations; s reduces the opportunity for entry-level fishermen; creates unemployment through quota stacking; • permits unfair labour practices; and • may be constitutionally unsound and subject to legal challenge. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INDIVIDUAL QUOTAS The Problem; Are IQs, NQs or ITQs a method that should be continued or expanded as it management system for Pacific fisheries? Recommendations Fishermen and resource rnanagers should be aware individual quotas are not simply an alternative licensing system, The transltion to IQs is a fundamental change that converts to private property that which has been a public or common property resource. The MhLng industry is prepared to accept changes, but these changes must be the result of evolution, not revolution. Fishermen will not accept changes that have been manipulated into place. They will not accept Chan es that are the result of balloting where licence holders aria asked to vote for or against personal gain, There are some significant disadvantages to quota fisheries, but the three personal licerzed quota fisheries present no current problems: Spawn -on -kelp and herring food and bait are each unique fisheries and the present management system is adequate; the abalone fishery is closed.

He said that British Columbia Industry fears of corporate control were realized in New Zealand: four major companies Control the majority of quotas for both the inshore and deep water resources. These companies allocate a quota to it fisherman for a lease fee. Real prices New Zealand fishermen receive for their catch are lower than pre -quota ones, as companies attempt to service debts incurred in the purchase of quotas. In Greymouth, a small cmtsl commu- nity, he said there are about 50 fishing boats, but only four or five of these now have their own fishing quotes, The rest lease the right to fish from company -held quota licancea, And they must accept the prices offend or forgo the quota. Ken Shirley, former Minister of Fisheries for New zeniAnd, was quoted In the newspaper Crey Star as saying„ "with hindsight the government should never have introduced permanent flRhing quotas." It proved impossible to get official confirmation of this statement from the Ministry of Agriculture'and eisheries fur Ntw ZaslAnd. Legality Quotas raise a jurisdictional question that may cripple the entire proposal: Is it constitutionally legal for the Government of Canada to regulate any fishery, once access has been transferred from common property access to Individual entitlement? Such privatized rights as individual quotas could be beyond the necessary legislative competence of the federal government since, as private property in the legal sense, IQs would be subject to the authority of provincial law relating to property and civil rights. In 1985, the Faculty of Law at Dalhousie University analyzed this issue. Its report, Individual Entif lerntnts in The Tidal Fisheries: Some Legal Problems by Bruce H. Wildsinith, Professor of Law, R.I. Spears, LL.B, and W.G, Wharton, LL.B, was prepared under contract for DFU, The report defines the historic role of the federal government: under the power of the Constitution Act,1867, Section 91(12), the fisheries in Canada are an area of jurisdiction allotted to the federal government. It also confirms the fisheries as common property, offering the Canadian Law Dictionary definition "that which belongs to the citizenry as a whole." The report finds that individual entitlements, resource allocations, or individual quotas — all meaning; the same thing -- give to an individual a right to harvest a definite quantity of fish, expressed either as a fixed amount or as a percentage of the total allowable catch. Privatization of the resource in this manner removes the right of public access to it common property, and converts this to private property. Calling on constitutional considerations, administrative law, and the Canadian Charter o/Rights and Freedoms, the report acknowledges that legal interpretations recognize a provincial proprietary right arA provincial legislative jurisdiction over property and civil rights. However, it considers that the: federal government has the necessary legislative competence for control over the total harvest of fish In all waters recognized by international law as being within Canada's jurisdiction; ftirther, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans can legislate to create exclusive transferable rights, ITQs, to fish in waters beyond provincial jurisdiction. But the report points out that the Supreme Court of Canada has held the seabeds under the waters ili the straits and gulfs between Vancouver lsiand and the Queen Charlotte Islands and mainland to be property of the Province of British Columbia. The first three miles of territorial sea could be similarly included as provincial property. Within this area, in the report's opinion, the actions, of DFO in attempting to regulate IQs could be found to be ultra tires, that is, beyond their authority or legal power .

Some quota holders do still take crews, but the share of the halibut catch accruing to the boat now runs at 40 to 50 per cent -- reducing the crew's historic share to 50 to 60 per cent of a catch whose dine they can no longer increase by skill and effort, The halibut quota system has effectively destroyed the livelihood of All these fishermen and made their professional skills irtstantly redundant. As for entry-level fishermen, if almost all halibut fishermen are vessel owners and quota holders, there is no training ground for the next generation. Entry-level fishermen cannot afford to purchase quotas and, without crew positions, they have no means of acquiring either the necessary money or the experience. The sablefish or black cod fishery is also cited. Two crew members of a black cod boat offered the following experience of quotas in practice. While preparing for the start of the 1990 season, the vessel owner announced that there would be a Change in the crew share arrangement. Instead of sharing in the value of the catch, the crew would be paid by the pound, which made them feel they had been reduced to employees instead of co -entrepreneurs sharing the risk of the venture. They were offered five cents per pound of black cod sold and had no choice but.to accept. On returning to the vessel in 1991, they found the pay offered was now three cents per pound -- on fish that hmd been selling for up to $5.65 per pound. In spite of many years' work in the black cod fishery, they chose to attempt to find on -shore jobs Instead, Cuolaa Abroad Vision 2000 states that quota licensing is now "state of the art" in Iceland, Australia and IVew Zealand, The Commission of Inquiry's research found that New Zealand participants in the system gave mixed opinions. Robin Hspi, General Manager and Chief Executive Officer of the Maori Fisheries Commission, in Wellington, was generally pleased with the quota regime in the inshore fishery, The quota process is being used to transfer fishing rights to the Maori people, although only 15 percent of the fisheries have been addressed so far. Initially, these rights are being transferred to the control of the Commission; the allocation to individuals will prviceod at some later date. Mr, RAy Dobson, General Manager of the New Zealand Fishing Industry Bond, an organization representing the interests of the New Zealand fishing industry, Is a self- proclaimed advocate of ITQs, believing that quotas are the solution for New Zealand Fisheries. He cites increased efficiency, increased flexibility and the advantages of market forces dictating fishing times. His major concern was the high cost of the initial installation of ITQs and suggested that to be successful, quotas must be preceded by increased research in order to develop a high level of input for the establishment of the total allowable catches. He pointed out that particularly for inshare fisheries, owner operator provisions were vital. He said thtr enforcement of quota objectives was a problem --- it appears high grading in the rock flbbster fishery is rampant -- but he claimed New Zealand fishermen are adjusting, ,recognizing that it is in their own best interest to fish legally. Mr. Brian Flner,with 30 years experience as afisherman,15 of them as a vessel owner;' skipper, is a resident in Greymouth on the west coast of the South Island. Strongi,r opposed to quotas, he warns that British Columbia Hshermen should resist any system r ROM : K—N—S i BAR I NE PHONE NO. : 907 235 6342 F_ DEC 16 ' 91 02: 5gFll UFAWU 604 255:a162 P.6 — - L3 Moloney and Fessee, 1979: "Quantitative rights would be most easily adapted to fisheries that do not cull for frequent, intraseasonal management intervention in the forth of changes to the allowable catch." Wilen, 1980: "It is certain that such it system applied in a fishery which needs 'fine tuning' like the B-C, roe herring fishery would require a fair degree of complexity." . Prasar,1980: `The more variable the resource stock, the mdrasignificant are the ensuing problems and the legs practical are individual vessel quotas as a management technique Clark,1980. "There are doubtl"sly some fisheries for which allocated ftshermen's or vessel quotas would be unsuitable, For example, in cases where annual recruitment is highly variable and unpredictable, th+ere'would be no basis upon which to fix annual quota levels." Enferv+ement With a quota system, the potential for high grading (the practice of keeping only the higher - valued fish and dumping all low -valued fish at sea) and "quota busting' (exceeding quotas) Is certainly felt to be high, but there is no mechanism available to gauge its extent and impact on the resource accurately, It is also too early to judge the effectiveness of the complex procedure now In place, at ,shore locations, to monitor Individual quotas. But there is evidence that a fundamental enforcement problem faces DFo. Enforcement of quota fisheries is based on the right of WO to monitor and enforce these fisheries by conditions attached to the licences. But it is a right subject to legal challenge. Recently, the British Columbia Court of Appeal upheld a decision of the County Court of Prince Rupert contesting DFQ's enforcement right in two cases. Challenged was the Department's right to ragulate fisheries and impose restrictions as a condition of licence. Even without court challenges, the DFO takes 16 months, on average, to develop and promul- gate a regulation. It has taken as long as five years, if our present fisheries regulations cannot provide the necessary controls to monitor and enforce quota fisheries, and this situation prevails for even 16 months, the effect on the industry and on the resource will be disastrous. Critics cite the abalone fishery as an example of failure to enforce quotas, and suggest that the Department may not have felt it had the legal grounding to do so. Impact on Employment The Issue in this area Is that quota systems may put crew and Vessel owners out of work, reduce 'S— wage levels and deny opportunity to entry-level fishermen. The halibut fishery Is cited as an example. Speaker after speaker at the public hearings echoed the words of this fisherman: "I have fished h allbu t f or years, and I don't have a job this Spring because of the halibut quota, To fish hAllbut now you either have to own a quota, or work for nothing." The Commission of Inquiry's research found that the people on board halibut boats shared in 75 to SO per Cent of the value of the catch, it was a labour-intensive fishery, and the crew shares reflected that reality. These crew members, many of them professional halibut fishermen, had "busted their butts" to catch the fish that counted as the historic portion of the vessel quota, but they received no recompense for their pre -quota efforts under the advisory process conducted by DFO. As quoted above, the Fisheries Council of British Columbia described the manner in which DFC conducted this advisory process for the halibut IQ system is fraudulent.

The first Comprehensive Plan was approved in 1980. The firm of CCC Architects was hired by the Borough on a contract basis to update the plan beginning in 1984. This update was never approved. In October of 1990 the present Staff with the help of Department Heads, The Planning and Zoning Commission and Council Members began the task of updating the 1980 plan. (The CCC Architects plan was used as a basis for this present update.) The Commission and Council have held a series of meetings and work sessions -to receive public and private sector input, as follows: October 10, 190 KPB Planning Department Staff recommendations on updating Plan October 15, 190 Memo to Department Heads to update Department Section October 24, 190 P&Z General Review of existing Plan Novenber 14, 190 Review - Airport, Police, Fire, Parks and Recreation, Harbor December 12,190 Review - Animal Control, Library, Transportation, Utilities, Land Use January 9, 191 Final Review - Animal Control, Library, Transportation January 23,191 Work Session - Land Use March 1.3, 191 Review - Economic Trends March 27, 191 Review - Economic Trends 2nd Draft April 24, 191 Review and Adoption Tentative Schedule May 8, 191 Review and Adoption Tentative Schedule July 26, 191 Work Session with Council Sept.. 25, 191 Work Session with Council Dec. 11, 191 Final Draft. to P&Z Jan. 15, 192 Final Draft to Council - Public Hearing The Planning Staff feels that this meeting schedule reflects sufficient input was received from the public and private sector in preparing the current Plan. Staff feels that the goals and objectives stated in the Final Draft will adequately guide the city for the Plan period, to the year 2,000. C. HISTORY OF THE COMMUNITY Kenai's history is intimately related to Ithe resource economics of subsistence fishing, fur trapping, commercial fishing, oil/gas production and refining, and tourism/recreational develop- ment. Each one of these economies has dominated during different periods in the life of Kenai. 1000 BC Athabaskan Indians, :later known as the Tanaina, built underground homes in the hillsides and ridges near the mouth of Kenai. Raver. 1741 About 1000 Tanaina lived in the area of the river when Russian fur traders first arrived, who referred to the natives as Kenaitze or "Kenai people". 1791 Russians built Fort St. Nicholas and later established the Russian America Company, trading in furs and inter- marrying with natives over the next 75 years. The existing Russian Orthodox Church dates from this period. 1867 Alaska was purchased from the Russians. The Alaska Commercial Company took over the Russian -American Company, 3 and the army established Fort St. Nicholas as Fort Kenay. The army abandoned the fort in 1870 and population declined. 1880's The first cannery was built and Kenai established itself as a commercial fishing community with a population which fluctuated between 250 and 350 until World War II. 1895-1910 Gold was placer mined on creeks in the area. 1940's The airport was built and homesteading was opened up after. World War II. 1950' s Wildwood army base (later becoming Wildwood Air Force Station until transferred to Kenai. Native Association in 1972) and the White Alice Radar Site were built. 1957's The Swanson River Oil Field was discovered. 1960's Kenai became a first class city in 1960 with a population of 778. A Home Rule Charter was adopted in 1963. Oil H. EMPLOYMENT AND POPULATION FORECASTS A. ECONOMIC TRENDS Between 1985 and 1987 Alaska weathered one of the State's worst recessions. Nearly 1 in 10 jobs disappeared from the Alaska economy. (These numbers don't reflect the total job loss during those months because it excludes losses among the self-employed.) Social and economic:: grief endured :by Alaskans during these recessionary months included wage cuts, personal bankrupt.cies, business failures, and bank closures. The Kenai-•Soldotna area's economy was 'the hardest hit on the Peninsula during the recession - almost 1,100 jobs were lost - and it has also been the slowest to recover. A rebound in the fishing industry, a stabilized oil industry, good tourism seasons, and a healthy public sector is lifting the area's economy out of its 1987 low point. By 1988 Alaska's economy posted its first employment gain in two years. The economy seemed to be heading in a positive direction, when on March 24, 1989 the Exxon Valdes, ran aground on Bl i_gh Reef in Prince William Sound. The resulting oil spill cleanup effort continued -to push up employment figures, but a close look shows that. Alaska's economic :indicators were rebounding prior to this spill. 5 Kenai's employment also began to grow again in 1988 and continued on this path through 1991, albeit slower than the remainder of the Peninsula. The Central Peninsula got a boost from the oil spill, but it was not nearly as large as in the Peninsula's other communities. Traditionally primary stimulus to economic growth in the Kenai-Soldotna region has been continuing development of the Kenai -Cook Inlet oil and gas fields and of the Nikisk:i industrial complex. This complex now includes the Unocal Chemical Division, the Phillips LNG plant, and Tesoro Alaska refinery. Two exceptional salmon seasons made the fishing industry an important factor in the recovery of local economies. The 1988 Cook Inlet salmon season enjoyed record salmon prices combined with a near record harvest. In spite of the oil spill, 1989 was an above average year for salmon prices and harvest. While many beach setnetters enjoyed a record year, 1989 was a frustrating year for the driftnet fishing fleet. The oil spill prevented many of them from putting their nets into the water. In addition to good salmon runs, bottom fishing activity has grown steadily during the past four years, helping to offset the declines which continue in the shellfish fishery. In 1985 the City of Kenai completed the Kenai Docking Facility which has greatly enhanced both recreational and commercial fishing efforts locally.. Tourism is another industry which has seen steady growth throughout: the 1980's and is targeted to become a major economic factor in the 1.990's. Such projects as the Kenai Bicentennial Visitor and Cultural Center and Kenai Flats Wildlife Viewing Area Boardwalk which were completed in 1991/92, will enhance the City of Kenai's future in this expanding industry. Strong growth has continued in the support sector activities, especially the trade and services sectors, plus local government. and construction. Table 1 shows annual employment by industry for the years 1980, 1985 and 1989. The growth in the number_ of jobs in the trade and service sectors is a sign of maturing in the region's internal economy. It suggests that more goods and services are steadily being supplied by local businesses. Also, during the early 1980's, the State of Alaska's expenditures for capital improvements, for transfer payments t:o Local governments and for State -subsidized loans for home mortgages and business development, gave substantial .impetus to construction of residential, business and community improvements. Now, 21 as state expenditures are in decline, this stimulus to the local economy is being significantly reduced. Table 1 shows fluctuations in the business cycle. Recent data on real estate and construction activity suggest that the construction industry is steadily improving. UNEMPLOYMENT & SEASONALITY Despite rapid growth in total employment over the past decade, the Kenai Peninsula Borough (KPB) has experienced a persistently high overall unemployment rate. The average annual unemploy- ment rate for the KPB in 1982 was 15.20% and 9.30% in 1989. The Statewide unemployment rate for the same period was 9 . 20 % for 1982 and 6.70% in 1990. The KPB region experiences wide seasonal swings in total employment and unemployment rates. These unemployment patterns are partly attribut- able to construction cycles and partly due to seasonal industries. The unemployed appear to be seasonal workers who came to the community during booms, and stayed after projects were completed. For the future, continued growth and diversification in the region's economy should help moderate the impact of any large-scale projects on the region's growth cycle. Other- unemployed are people in seasonal industries, TABLE 1 EMPLOYMENT BY SECTOR, 1980-1990 KENAI-SOLDOTNA AREA Industry A 181 '82 183 '84 85 Be '87 88 189 •'90 M,ning 733 718 722 552 620 735 050 687 740 677 1.056 Canstrucilon 514 608 675 '190 978 1,029 618 421 389 413 357 Manufacturing 1,0;24 856 924 922 891 1,088 1,009 1,042 1,151 949 1,125 Tran., Comm. & Util. 4a8 643 632 829 564 602 4C 1 347 352 442 574 Trade 511 1,017 1,083 1.262 1 ,631 1.823 1 663 1.622 1,543 1.537 1 ,894 Fin„ Ins. & R E. 1 55 177 206 231 265 263 278 191 164 168 175 Services 9 Misc. 636 758 1) 1 1 1 121 1,153 1,25B 1,3139 1,319 1,358 1,604 1,881 Fedora] Government 76 74 77 92 100 107 105 107 124 133 143 Scala Government 323 365 402 456 524 581 573 543 566 569 621 Lec111 Government 755 779 891 964 1,053 1,134 1,1cS7 1,205 1,134 1,317 1.269 TO1"AL 5,637 5,986 6,523 7,019 7,799 8,581 8,024 7,483 7,527 7,815 8,905 '1q+30 Preliminary Annual Ave'aga Triesa figures do not lnclt.de estimates of self employment and csnain elements of other industries not reported to the Alaska Department of Laoor. 1990 Employment by Industry for Kenal/Soldotna' Ir 'ryIr..Y k '1'YY'Y7 r�Y'.rY14yT14 f `? ii Mining 1 1.9% (((�iy�Y..�T�Y.

ADMINISTRATIVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES The City of Kenai has promoted economic development through the disposal of land. There are two types of land systems, general fund lands and airport Federal lands. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires revenues from the airport land system be used for the support of the airport and further improvement of airport lands. Within the two systems, lands are leased and sold. The City has taken an active role in making land available for lease and sale. Lessees are encouraged to purchase their leased land as outlined in the Kenai Municipal Code. When the FAA decided to decommission flight service stations around the State, the City of Kenai. submitted a proposal for an automated flight service station to be located in Kenai. In 1.983 a $1.00 per year 1-ease with the FAA was entered into for the flight service station location. There are presently 58 local FAA employees, who man the Flight Service Station, Sector Field office and 'Power. (The FAA has been authorized to hire 64 tota"t' positions in the local area.) The Kenai municipal Airport plays an Lntegral part in the local economy. As the largest airport in 'the Borough, it offers daily commuter flights, and also facilities fcr air 10 express, freight and cargo flights. The recent addition of a $1.2 million float plane basin has expanded aviation activity at the airport and enhanced local revenues by catering to additional aviation needs. In 1984, Homer Electric Association (HEA) was looking for a site for a new district office for the Central Kenai Peninsula. The City of Kenai provided ten acres of prime industrial land to HEA at no cost. The FAA agreed to the City°s request to trade this airport real estate for other real estate the City owned. HEA employs approximately 100 personnel in the Borough, with about. 50 personnel in the Kenai area. In 1984, the Kenai Visitors and Convention Bureau was created. It later became the Kenai Bicentennial Visitors and Convention Bureau (KBV&CB). Its purpose is to promote tourism in the City of Kenai. with a focus on Kenai's Bicentennial celebration in 1991. As a result of the efforts of the City of Kenai. and the KBV&CB, a matching grant in the amount of $800,000 was received for the construc- tion of the Kenai Bicentennial Visitors and Cultural Center. Since July 1988, the City has provided funding for the KBV& CB and the Kenai Chamber of Commerce in the amount of $326,400.

ADMINISTRATIVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES The City of Kenai has promoted economic development through the disposal of land. There are two types of land systems, general fund lands and airport Federal :Lands. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires revenues from the airport land system be used for the support of the airport and further improvement: of airport lands. Within the two systems, lands are leased and sold. The City has taken an active role in making land available for lease and sale. Lessees are encouraged to purchase their leased land as outlined in the Kenai Municipal Code.

In 1983 a $1.00 per year lease with the FAA was entered into for the flight service station location. There are presently 58 local FAA employees, who man the Flight Service Station, Sector Field Office and Tower. (The FAA has been authorized to hire 64 total positions in the local area.) 'The Kenai Municipal Airport plays an _integral part in the local economy. As the largest airport in the Borough, it offers daily commuter flights, and also facilities for air 11 express, freight and cargo flights. The recent addition of a $1.2 million float plane basin has expanded aviation activity at the airport and enhanced local revenues by catering to additional aviation needs. In 1984, Homer Electric Association (HEA) was looking for a site for a new district office for the Central Kenai Peninsula.

As a result of the efforts of the City of Kenai and the KBV&CB, a matching grant in the amount of $800,000 was received for the construc- tion of the Kenai Bicentennial Visitors and Cultural Center. Since July 1988, the City has provided funding for the KBV&:CB and the Kenai Chamber of Commerce in the amount of $326,400. Other City facilities, on airport lands, that have encouraged economic stability are the Kenai Senior Citizens Center, Library, Public Safety Building, ballfields and. parks. The City has also dedicated airport :Lands to be used for the construction of a congregate housing facility adjacent to the Senior Citizens" Center, approxi- mately 40 acres for an indoor fire training facility and helicopter cold water recovery school, and ten acrE:s for educational use. The City of Kenai has been successful in encouraging new enterprises within the city and in increasing the economic stability of the city of Kenai by providing jobs for local residents. The City worked with the Kenai Natives Association, Inc., and was instrumental in locating the State Prison adjacent to the City limits. The City provides water and sewer to that facility. The City built a docking facility which helps independent fishermen market fish, and built a boat ramp encouraging sports fishing. The City of Kenai's Capital Improvement. list for 1991-92 included funding requests for the following projects: * CONGREGATE HOUSING * THOMPSON PARK SEWER INTERCEPTOR * THOMPSON PARK WATER AND SEWER MAINS * COMMUNITY ROAD DEVELOPMENT AND WATER AND SEWER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS * WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS, WATER QUALITY COMPLIANCE TO MEET STATE & FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS * PARK IMPROVEMENTS * BOAT RAMP * ICE RINK 12 vis_Ltor market; and (c) the future growth of airport related industries (i.e., distribution) . (d) airlifting of fish for local Commercial fishing industries. d. Prepare a port and harbor master plan to support expansion of commercial and recreational fishing. e. Work; directly with managers of basic industry to encourage loC8L1 training and hiring. Promote resident access to appropriate out -of -region employment in mining (Beluga coal project) and oil and gas operations. The City should maintain the present policy of putting city - owned land into productive use by the private sector, but only when the public benefit can be well demonstrated by: a. Establishing clear economic criteria for release of city land, such. as creation of jobs for local residents, expansion of the tax base,, and compliance with site plan review requirements for commercial and industrial Land,. b. Deve_op a Marathon Road industrial park, served by city utilities and roads, to market sites for transportation - related industries (see fig. Transportation Plan for Road .Layout.) 14 C. Establish land management policies for retaining land in City or other governmental ownership which has high habitat value, but limited building development value, retain other parcels for potential long-term public uses. The City should enhance the contribution of the recreation/visitor industry to the C'ity's economy by: a. Support the development of a marketing plan to promote Kenai as a destination for out-of- state visitors. Emphasize a year round visitor industry, including "package" tours, providing all necessary transportation, food and lodging, recreational activities, and related services. b. Develop in -city attractions and visitor services to strengthen Kenai and the Kenai Peninsula Borough as a destination. Encourage and support private development of a wider range of visitor services, lodging, etc., in the City and the Central Peninsula. C. :Promote state development of campgrounds and other improvements and recreation attractions in t-he vicinity so that ,risitors will have adequate, suitable rest <and daytime use :acilities and overnight approval of domestic systems by the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation.

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES The state-owned and maintained Kenai Spur Road is the primary highway linking Kenai to Soldotna and to Nikiski. It is also the: major route in the city linking the most populated neighborhoods. The road is five lanes in width between Bridge Access Road and Forest Drive, and two lanes east to Soldotna. In the most, heavily traveled section of the highway (between Willow and Main Streets) traffic volumes increased by 9.5%, between 1988 and 1989. The average annual traffic count for 1989 was 13,800, in 1990 the: count increased to 15,610 vehicles daily along this section of the Spur Highway. Additional highway improvements may be required if traffic growth continues to increase. During 1989 the state counted 145 accidents within the City of Kenai. Most of these accidents occurred along the Spur Highway and its major arterials. To improve traffic flow and safety, traffic lights were placed at the inter- sections of Willow Street and the Kenai River Bridge Access Road in 1985. In 1991 a traffic light was located at the intersection of. Spur Highway and Forest Drive. The Kenai Spur Road suk-l-base is in poor condition resulting 29 in high maintenance costs and less than optimum traveling conditions. Alaska DOT&PF has .identified two federal aid projects to upgrade two sections of the road to four lanes. A third project will be .identified to bring the remaining two lane segment to four lanes when traffic counts justify the upgrade. The two projects presently in the DOT&Pf 1991-1997 Capital Improvement Program are as follows: KENAI SPUR HIGHWAY RECONSTRUCTION PHASE I Mile Post 2.8 to 10.7 This project, expected to be in the construction phase in FY193, will extend the Kenai urban four lane facility from Kenai River Bridge Access Road (MP 10.62) to Swires Road (MP 8.05). It will also repave the existing two lane segment from Swires Road to Mooring Drive (MP 2.8) . KENAI" SPUR HIGHWAY RECONSTRUCTION PHASE II Mile Post 0.0 to 2.8 This project, expected to be in the construction phase in FY194, will replace and extend the existing four lane urban facility from the Sterling Highway (MP 0.0) to Cheechako (MP 2.13). This project will also extend the four lane also extend the four lane facility by construction of a four lane rural section from Cheechako to Mooring Drive (MP 2.8). This project will rea- lign the road in the vicinity of Pickle Hill to the east of the road's present location. Alternative access between Kenai and Soldotna is provided by the Kenai River Bridge Access Road connecting to Kalifonsky Beach Road (both state highways). As con- trasted to the Spur Highway which has a right-of-way up to 300 feet, this southerly route to Soldotna has a minimum right -of --way of about 100 feet. A second, so called "by-pass" or "escape route" was con- structed by the Borough which extends :From Miller Loop Road to Marathon Road. This road gives an. alternate route from the North. Kenai area for. use in case of a major disaster or. Industrial accident. It is unpaved and allows passage of one vetlicle with several turnouts for two way traffic, and is riot presently maintained. CITY FACILITIES Currently-, city street main- tenance is provided by a crew of 5 full-time employees and 2.5 winter employees. Personnel from other departments and other part time employees are used as needed during heavy snowfalls. These 7 employees maintain more lane miles of streets than any othex small city maintenance crew in Alaska. :30 Approximately 65 miles of streets are a part of the city street system. In the period of 1980-1990, over 15 miles of new streets were added and approximately 75% of the existing streets were upgraded to either a good gravel surface or paved. The street crew also maintains the Kenai Municipal Airport Facility, which takes priority over city streets during heavy snowfall periods. The combined duties and high ratio of lane miles per employee create a severe manpower shortage at times. Local City roads include paved streets in the downtown area and in newer subdivisions. Some older subdivisions have dirt or gravel roads, with poor control of storm drainage. Some collector -standard streets are not paved. Some neighborhoods have local roads which are intermittently developed because there has been no overall neighborhood road planning and lot platting (i.e. roads in the East Kenai neighborhood follows lots laid out on a 330 foot grid originally established by the Bureau of Land Management).. The road network is generally clear and well established. The downtown area not is parti- cularly well laid out for future growth, and the original tow:nsite road network will be improved by vacation of some unnecessary road sections. ("Kenaii. Original Townsite Development Options", 1985). The :street lighting system is comprised of basically two C . MARINE TRANSPORTATION The port of Kenai, located near the mouth of the Kenai River, consists of private docks, warehouses. Fish processing plants aLre located here and across the river. The city -owned portion of the port consists of the city dock and two ramps for launching recreational and commercial boats. Using grant funding from the state, the city has completed a new dock, parking/staging area, water and sewer facility, fuel facility, office facilities, three small :Lifting cranes, and public re:strooms and showers. The city has little land free of wetlELnd limitations with frontage on the river. There- fore, the use of good land must be carefully managed to ensure that only uses requiring river access are located in the port area. To improve the port to serve commercial and recreational boats and visitors to Kenai. The city should: a. Develop a Port and Harbor Master Plan to insure the most efficient use of land and river frontage, and adopt the plan as a component of the Compre- hensive Plan. Develop a plan which also considers the need to protect buildings and properties from r.iverfront erosion north of the port area. 35 b. Extend water and sewer to serve the port. C. Limit land uses of the port area to river - dependent industries (see chapter IIIH., Industrial Land Use). V. PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES PROVIDERS. The city provides police and fire protection, emergency medical services, sewer and water :services, parks and recreation, street maintenance, senior citizens services, and zoning, subdivision, and building permitting, airport, library, animal control, public lighting system, cemetery, and beautification services. Municipal assistance, interest revenue sharing and sales and property taxes account for nearly a7.1 of the local funding support for these services. The borough, state, and private utility companies provide other services„ The Kenai Peninsula Borough is responsible for education, solid waste, planning, platting, and assessing and tax collection. The Central. Peninsula General Hospital in Soldotna is supported by a special taxing district. In 1984, 1.70 of the property taxes collected within the city were allocated to the hospital, and 40o was earmarked to the borough.. The state is responsible for construction and maintenance of state roads in Kenai (Kenai - Spur Road, Kenai River_ Bridge Access Road, Beaver Loop Road, North Forest Drive, Redoubt, N. Strawberry Road, and. Cannery Road) . `::'he state is also the primary funding source for health anti social service programs. 36 Private utility companies provide telephone and electrical service.

Homer Electric Association provides power from the Chugach Electric gas generation plant at Beluga, Bradley Lake and Bernice Lake and its hydro- electric facility at Cooper Landing. RESIDENT SATISFACTION WITH CITY SERVICES Annual city surveys have polled Kenai residents on their satisfaction with the quality of city -administered services. In the 1990 survey, all City services were ranked "fair"to "good". Senior Citizen services were rated the highest, with Emergency medical services, Library, Fire, Airport services tied for second; followed by Police (3rd); Sewer (4th); Animal Control, Water, and Parks and Rec (5th); Boat Ramp and Dock (6th); and Streets rated as needing the most improvement of all City services. C. FIRE. DEPARTMENT The Kenai Fire Department covers an area approximately 33 square miles in size with one station located on Main Street Loop and Willow Street. The department is presently manned by thirteen full time personnel, twelve uniformed and one administrative assistant. The administration consists of three administrative officers and an administrative assistant who all work: five days a week. Each platoon consists of three men, all. certified State of Alaska Firefighter I, working 24-hour shifts. The Public Safety Building was constructed in 1972. The location is ideal, in the center of the community and within the required time limits for airport. responses. A project to enlarge one bay of the facility is in the planning stages inorder to accommodate additional airport apparatus and equipment. The facility also houses the Dispatch Center with dispatchers on duty 24 hours a day. An emergency generator makes it possible to continue operations during area wide power outages.. The Kenai Fire Department is responsible for the minor repair and maintenance of all fire appai-atu.s and the station. They are also responsible for all day-to-day activities which include fire prevention programs :For the local schools and the general public, inspection of all public buildings, and enforcement of 43 all fire safety and fire prevention codes as adopted by the City and the State of Alaska, as well as invest- igation of all fires. During 1990 the department compute- rized operations in order to simplify record keeping. The Department is charged with the responsibility for fire suppression, ambulance, rescue, and all emergency incidents occurring on the airport. Airport protection requires specialized training and equipment. A response time of three (3) minutes, as set by the Federal Aviation Administration (F.A.A.), requires the equipment be on location within that time limit. The addition of one airport rescue fire fighting vehicle is anticipated within the next year. The Kenai fire station is equipped with a 1,500 gallon crash truck, three pumpers, and a 5,000 gallon tanker, a rescue truck, two advanced life support ambulances, one reserve ambulance and two staff veh-cles. It is anticipated that: one pumper and one staff veh..cle will need to be rep.- due to age and dilapidation within one to three years. A number of buildings in excess of three stories and buildings that:. require a large fire flow have been built in Kenai. The City needs to consider the purchase of an aerial device in the next three to ten years to GOALS AND OBJECTIVES Expand health services in response to general population growth and by targeting service to local needs. The City should: a. Support state funding for additional staff at the Central Peninsula Mental HeaLlth Center in proportion to projected areawide population increases. b. Support. state funding for local probationar°y staff trained to deal with convicted perpetrators of sexual abuse. . ;1 1985-1986 The Beautification Committee budget was separated from the Parks and additional areas taken on for beautification purposes.. The old fire tanker was given to parks for watering the new flower beds. 1986-1987 The last. pieces of playground equipment: were put into the parks. Work was started on the Airport Triangle Park and on the Leif Hansen Memorial Park. Construction of another softball field was begun and a move is on to get a new youth sports complex in the Section 36 area. Summary The last seven years have seen some tremendous changes in the Parks & Recreation Department of the City. The Department has grown from a one man operation to six full time and five part time employees, with the part time force increasing to about twenty in the summer months. The Program boasts two trails systems ;fitness and hiking), nine ballf ields (5 adult., and 4 youth), nine maintained parks that contain various types of playground equipment and some have shelters, camp stoves, and basketball courts. The Municipal Park is set up to take care of campers during the tourist season with 26 camping pads. The recreation facility has a full siZe gymnasium, three 52 racquetball courts, weight room and also houses the Teen Center. It is one of the finest in the state and is the envy of many communities. Kena.i's adult softball fields are considered to be the best in the state and the summer of 1989 eight tournaments were held here, two of which, were State tournaments. Future With the addition of the Airport Triangle Park and the Leif Hansen Memorial Park, park maintenance will increase. The Memorial Park maintenance will be intensive due to the flower beds and constant addition of trees or foliage due to private memorial plantings. It is suggested that the airport accept the burden of maintenance of airport grounds using shared equipment to reduce maintenance costs. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The Beautification Committee has targeted Lawton Strip for future park use, however, growth of this park is expected to be very slow due to the concerns of the property owners in the adjoining Inlet View Subdivision. A joint project by the City and the Kenai Peninsula Borough to establish at least two ballfields and have a large grassed area for other- field games is currently under way. They are located on Borough lands at the Kenai Middle School. determine the costs for construction, maintenance etc., of a covered ice arena in Kenai. The scope of the project is undetermined at this time. The City is working to put in a public boat launch area on the Kenai River within the City boundar.es . A grant has been received from Department of Natural Resources and the National Park Service to construct a viewing area on the bluff above the Kenai River mouth. 53 In January 1989, the Department began a process of revision of its Personnel Rules and standard Operation Procedures. This is to insure compliance with ordinances, statutes, Alaska Police Standards requirements, and the National Law Enforcement Accreditation Standards. The last major revision was accomplished in 1984 with only sectional updates since that time. This was prior to the publication of the ]maw Enforcement Accreditation Standards which the Court and insurance industry are increasingly viewing as an evaluation tool. In the next three to five years, the City may be faced with the decision of whether or not to seek Certification of the Department by the National Committee on Law Enforcement accreditation in accordance with these standards. This could involve future liability insurance and grant funding considerations. The duties and responsi- bilities of the Police Department are generally reflected in the Goals and Objectives which is the Program Statement adopted 11/86 (Goals and Objectives page 56). This was reaffirmed as still valid in October 1990 and is being used as the basis for prioritization of service delivery. Activity loading on the Department peaked in 1.986, dropped significantly in 1987 and began rising again in 1988 and 1989. The table below is representative of the activity trend experienced.

During the fall of 1992 a 40 unit independent living housing complex, adjoining the senior center, will be ready for occupancy. Funding to construct this facility was provided through a State of Alaska grant. Support for the senior citizens program is; provided through grants and private donations. Those agencies providing funding are: Older Alaskan Commission Kenai Peninsula Borough United Way City of Kenai During the past 10 year:, Kenai Senior Services has grown from a budget of $52,459, serving 373 unduplicated elderly, to a multi -purpose Senior. Center with a budget of $350,000 which provides programs and services to 1,300 unduplicated elderly. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES To continue to provide quality services to older Alaskans that ensure honor, dignity, security, independence and assist them in maintaining quality lives the Senior Program should implement the 59 following objectives: 1. Secretarial Services, are a vital part of the services provided. Record keeping, letter writing, grant requests, monthly newsletter and form completion are necessary to maintain a quality program for the elderly. During the past year our demand for service has increased 24% over projected levels. It would be our objective to add a half - time secretarial position to the staff, within the next three years. Kenai Senior Center has, in the last five years, increas- ed their service level 61% without any addition- al staff increase. 2. Demand for recreational activities continues to increase. During the next four years it is our objective to obtain funding without any additional staff increase. 3. Obtain funding for construction of a 20 unit addition to Vintage Pointe Manor. A city owned congregate housing project. I. Lrlm I'm Utility systems in Kenai are in good condition and capable of being expanded to meet needs. Water supply and sewage treat- ment capacity can be expanded to serve all areas of the city. Only about half of all residencies are now connected to the city systems. Power supply is more than adequate for the foreseeable future from the existing.[ Chugach Electric gas turbine stations at Beluga and near Sol.dotna, a hydroelectric project at Cooper Landing, and the 90 14W Bradley Lake hydro- electric facility near Homer. Power is transmitted via quality distribution Lines to residential and commercial customers ;in Kenai by Homer Electric Association. Gas service is provided by Enstar Natural Gas. PTI Communications provides local telephone service and Cable television is provided by Prime Cable. All of the above utilities are regulated by the Alaska Public Utilities Commission, except City water and sewer. :9 WATER The Kenai city water system consists of two wells, both in the Beaver Creek area. The combined capacity is approximately 2,600 gpm. There is a 3,000,000 gallon reservoir storage tank at the southeast corner of the airport which significantly increases the storage capacity and fire- fighting capability. The present system serves approximately 1195 residential units and 178 businesses or about 44% of the population. It is anticipated that the existing facility will be adequate through 1995, unless the system is expanded to East Kenai, whereby additional capacity may be needed sooner. Also, new federal surface water treatment rules may require filtration of the existing water. supply. This would necessitate major system improvements. Currently, two (2) personnel operate and maintain the water system and the sewer collection system. Should filtration of the water system be necessary, additional operators will.. be nec..essary, and billing rates wi...l be raised accordingly. X. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM Kenai is well served by City facilities such as the Recreation Center, the new Airport Terminal Building, Float Plane Basin, and Airport Apron. A. Senior Center has been constructed and expanded, Police and Fire Stations have been expanded, and there has been a substantial addition to the Library. Under construction and scheduled to be completed in early spring 1992, is a modern tourist and visitor center; a 40 unit apartment complex adjacent to the Senior Citizen Center; a :Fire Training School on Marathon Road; and a major shopping center scheduled to be completed loy Faster of 1992. Many streets have been widened and paved and some new streets constructed. In the planning stages are a major trunk sewer system to :service the Thompson Park area with both water and sewer services, a State Courthouse in the vicinity of the existing courthouse, and an additional shopping area in conjunction with the new C'arr's Mall.. All cf these projects should be under construct. ion in the summer of 1992. In addition plans are on the drawing board to expand to four lanes the Spur Highway from Soldotna to Kenai. This construction is scheduled to begin in 1993 or 194. The above mentioned facilities have been built or commenced 72 during the period of 1980 to 1991, mostly with grants provided by the Legislature from significant State royalty oil and Severance Tax Revenues. The exception, of course, is the major shopping mall which Carr's has under construction. Since the State funded City projects which might have been formerly paid for by local taxes, it has been possible to reduce the City's tax rates. In 1979 the City mill rate was 12.5 mils by 1986 it had been reduced to 2.7 mils and has remained at that level for six years. At the same time substantial growth in residen- tial and commercial development pushed the assessed valuation from $128 million to over $250 million. The City has a 3% Sales Tax, as do most other cities on the Kenai Peninsula. This Sales Tax raised 1.28 million dollars in 1980 and 2.69 million dollars in 1991, an increase of 110% for the City of Kenai. These revenues helped lower the property tax burden upon city residents. The net effect of present assessed valuation and tax structures in Kenai, is a City government on a good financial footing. The City Council, over the past ten years, has exercised and pursued fiscal responsibility on behalf of citizens of Kenai. Despite the solid financial position in which the City finds itself in 1992, with substantial balances in the Water and Sewer fund; Airport funds including Maintenance & Operation and the Land Fund; and in the General Fund, local tax revenues are not expected to increase as rapidly as they did during the 1980's, and State Grant and Revenue Sharing Funds are being reduced dramatically. The City's Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) should be developed with realistic expectations about continued lower levels of State funding. Prudent planning will require that new Capital Projects do not overburden local tax payers with high operations and maintenance costs and possibly unwanted or unanticipated increases .in taxes. The City Counci11s Capital Improvements planning and programming process is established to systematically evaluate needed improvements and better delivery of existing City services on behalf of the constituency. The CIP discusses projects and ranks them according to priority on an annual basis. Depending upon the circumstances, occasionally some are deleted and others are added, as the Council continues to reevaluate public safety, public health, recreation, transportation development., and growth of the community on behalf of. the citizens of Kenai., The CIP is the single most effective tool available to the City to implement relatively short term provisions of land use and transportation 73 components of the Comprehensive Plan. In order to maintain favorable property tax rates and at the same time continue to develop necessary Capital Improvements Projects should: a. Promote polices to encourage forms of development which generate higher assessed valuations. b. Promote policies and programs designed to develop economic growth by providing additional jobs and additional assessed valuation. C. Update the CI time to incorporate long range identified guidelines Comprehensive P Lists from time to short and improvements in various in the Plan. X.

PUBLIC HEARINGS 6. OLD BUSINESS a. Comprehensive Plan - Final Draft La Shot reported that the text and maps were complete but the map reductions needed to be upgraded. Staff recommended that the plan be submitted to Council for their January 2nd meeting. Councilman Smalley expressed concern that the population figure of 6, 327 may be low. La Shot explained that the Council and Commission had discussed this figure in a work session and no recommendations had been made to arrive at new figure. The information came from the 1990 Decennial Census which was the best source available. La Shot felt that public hearings at the Commission level had been completed. Staff recommended that the plan be passed to Council for public hearing and approval. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION December 11, 1991 Page 2 Commissioner Scott noted that the trail system on the Transportation map was hard to read. La Shot told her that would be darker in the final text. Smalley :said he felt the Council had been comfortable with progress in work sessions. He said he would suggest a date in January for the public hearing. La Shot :reported that. after Council approval the Plan would go to the Borough for public: hearings at the Planning Commission and Assembly, level. The Assembly would then adopt the Plan and it would go to final print:. Commissioner Scott recommended that Planning and Zoning and Council hold a :joint public hearing on the plan sometime in January. Commission concurred. 7. NEW BUSINESS a. Juneau's "Clean It or Lien It" Ordinance La Shot reported that the City Attorney had put this Ordinance in the packElt at the request of Councilwoman Monfor. The City has an existing Ordinance but it is not as strong as the Juneau Ordinance. Councilmen Smalley said that Councilwoman Monfor had wanted the Commission to review this ordinance and make a recommendation on whether Kenai should adopt a similar one. Smalley expressed concern ever entering personal property and what the legalities of that would be for the city. Commissioner Scott felt that the Commission should study the possibility of such an ordinance very carefully. Scott felt that the City of Kenai was the neatest on the Peninsula and perhaps the Commission should obtain public comment before pursuing a comparable ordinance. Commissioner. Graveiey agreed. He felt that Juneau's "Clean It or Lien It" ordinance was good but it was a different community situation then :Kenai. tzraveley couldn't. recall anyone coming to P & Z with a complaint which would require such an ordinance. Commissioner Scott asked if' Administration has had complaints, and how many. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION December, 11, 1991 Page 3 La Shot said that Staff was presently investigating a complaint of a business on Frontage Road, which had old cars and parts that were a concern to neighboring businesses. Staff had found that the owner was not violating any city or building codes. Councilman Smalley said that the Council members had received complaints and were looking for a way to expedite the process of property owners cleaning up property. One example was a partially burned home: in Thompson Park, which created a nuisance for neighbors, because garbage from the house had been strewn around the neighborhood. This situation had taken a long time to resolve. Smalley :Felt: that garbage would be defined by the ordinance. Graveley noted dates of example letters from Juneau's ordinance which spanned April through September and said he felt this ordinance was not more effective then what already existed. Councilman Smalley said that many cities have such an ordinance and that somE! of these should be researched. Chairman Bryson requested that this item be rescheduled for a future meet ing . S. PLANNING a. PZ Resolution 91-44: Home Occupation Permit Jerry Freeman - Taxi Dispatch Station Loretta :Harvey, Administrative Assistant reported that she had talked with Roper that afternoon and he had said that he was moving his dispatch station to Echo Lake. Roper planned to use the site on Beaver Loop as a back-up system. Commissioner Rehm asked if neighbors had responded to the letter which asked for public comment regarding the business? Harvey reported that onl..y one response had been received. A Mrs. Frichante who noted an increase in local traffic and interference with television reception. MOTION: Commissioner Scott moved approval of Resolution PZ-91-44 Home Occupation Permit for Taxi Dispatch Center. Commissioner Landeis seconded. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION December 11, 1991 Page 4 Commissioner Scott said she would be voting against this resolution as the site plan which had been requested from the applicant had not been received by the Commission. Commissioner Gravely said he would be voting against the issuance of this permit due to the complaint which was received involving television reception interference. VOTE: Graveley: No Landeis: No Scott: No Rehm: No Bryson: No 9. REPORTS a. City Council Councilman Smalley reported that the Council had approved funding for the Kenai Bicentennial Visitor and Cultural Center for approximately $50,000 for yearly maintenance and operation. The building should be completed at the end of January due to a problem with a supplier which caused a delay in construction. The City is purchasing a new sweeper for the airport with AIP funds. Also, two patrol cars are being purchased. The Council, is planning a work session to discuss an assessment district in VIP Estates. And the City will be rebidding the airport restaurant lease. The Mayor is; appointing a committee to work on an application for Kenai to receive an All American City award. Smalley told Commissioner-s if they wished to have input on this committee to contact the Mayor. b. Borough Planning Chairman Bryson reported that Suzanne Little gave a presentation on the Proposed Zoning District Ordinance and Standards developed for 21.12 which will affect unincorporated parts of the Borough. C. City Administration La Shot reported that the Five Iron Heights S/D which was prepared to better define city leased lands and residential lots had been postponed at the Borough level. This property had been the subject of a lawsuit over Loss of access (which is currently on appeal), and the Borough felt they needed more information before further review of this plat. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION December 11, 1991 Page 5 The City, in a staff meeting today, decided to withdraw the plat at this time. The City may proceed at a later time with the same plat or subdivide in a different manner to suit our needs at that time. 10. PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED 11. INFORMATION ITEMS 1.

Williams thanked all the volunteers for taking the time to draft a handbook which will serve the new Congregate Housing Facility. The Mayor felt that a Chairperson should be elected to head the Task Force as soon as possible. Williams suggested that the group should prioritize the topics that need discussion keeping in mind that they are setting the operating criteria for a multi --million dollar facility. Some of the issues which will need to be addressed are the budget, who will live there, how selected (age, need, etc.), and should follow federal guidelines. Mick Latona said that the lease would be a big issue. It should deal with mental or physically handicapped issues. Some federal guidelines may not apply due to it being elderly housing. Pat Porter reported that 39 units will be available for rent, hopefully by July 1st. The guidelines should be finished by then. Williams noted the Task Force notebook which the City Clerk had compiled with information from various sources. Williams said these were just examples which might help the group draw up guidelines, which would be reviewed by the City Attorney. He suggested that the group contact Charlie Brown, City Finance Director when work on the Budget began. Some of the items the croup felt should be addressed were: smoking areas; tenant insurance; pets; tenant criteria; management; rents/le-ases; and appeal processes. The group set the next meeting for January 8th at the Kenai Senior Center at :noon. The secretary was asked to mail a notebook and notice of the meeting to the members who were not present.

ITEM B: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT ITEM C: PUBLIC HEARINGS C-1. Resolution No. 92-1 - Transferring $3,606.97 in the Bicentennial Visitors and Cultural Center for Change Order No. 7 to the Construction Contract. MOTION: Councilman McComsey MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 92-1 and Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. Jim Bookey President of the Bicentennial Board of Directors. Bookey requested that this resolution not be approved. Bookey stated the Bicentennial Board of Directors feel the decoration on the outside of the building is adequate and would prefer to save the money until after the building is completed and purchase audio visual equipment for the building for $18,000. Finance Director Brown stated that there is approximately $39,000 left in the contingency fund. Half of that amount is grant money and could not be used to purchase audio visual equipment. Brown added that in discussions with Brighton, they hoped to use left grant monies to purchase a security system for the building. Also, retainage to the contractor will be decided at the end of the job and those monies will come from the contingency fund also. Brighton stated that the architect did not discuss the sandblasting designs with the Bicentennial Board. Brighton added the Board's concern of not being able to furnish the inside of the building seems to be legitimate and reasonable. Audio visual equipment is a big item and will cost a substantial amount of money. Kornelis stated he received a telephone call from Kluge this afternoon. Kluge stated that the committee members had changed KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 2, 1992 PAGE 3 recently. Bookey stated that it is the same Board of Directors, but different officers. Kornelis added that Kluge stated he has already verbally told the contractor to proceed with the sandblasting of the designs. Kornelis is not aware of how much of the work is done. Bookey stated he spoke with Kluge at 3:30 p.m. At that time, Kluge did not know what designs he would be using on the building. Bookey stated that the Board would like to be included in the choosing of the designs. Bookey stated that screens and speakers have already been purchased as they needed to be placed at this time of construction. An application was sent to Union Oil for the purchase of the rest of the equipment and was turned down. Williams stated that a decision could be made later. Williams was not ,aware of the design discussion because he was not present at the last meeting. The portion of last meeting's minutes were read regarding the mot.ion for allowing the sandblasted art work. Swarner stated she thought the exact price and designs would be brought :back for final. approval of Council. The change order was not approved. Kornelis stated that he was unaware that Kluge was going to request -the art work at the last meeting. Kluge was not able to attend this meeting due to another obligation. Kornelis stated that he understood the design work by Kluge was to be a donation. Brown stated there is $39,062 left in contingency. Of that, $18,531 :is the City's money. McComsey stated he wou'1d like the art work on the building, but thinks the Board should be included in the decision. Swarner stated the Board should have been included. There may be other unknown costs to come.. Brighton suggested that Kluge may bill for more by the end of the job if the contractor goes over the completion date. Kluge will need to inspect and will charge. Attorney Graves stated that the contract says Kluge must work for thirty days for free at., the end of his contract. Discussion followed regarding the type of designs, etc. suggested by Kluge. Williams suggested adding a caveat to the motion that it is approved contingent upon the approval of the Board. Smalley :suggested postponing the resolution until the next KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 2, 1992 PAGE 4 meeting and allow Kluge time to get the Board's approval. Kornelis stated that would add days to complete the building. Bookey stated their Board meets on Monday, at noon. It was suggested that the motion be amended to include approval by the Board. Kornelis and Kluge should also attend. If the Board approves the designs, Kornelis can then sign off on the change order. Kornelis was instructed to contact Kluge and have him attend the Board's meeting on Monday. Measles stated that Council should approve the resolution now to transfer the funds and the approval of the change order at Item H-8 should be contingent upon the approval of the Board.

Attorney Graves stated that he spoke with Leonard Dunham and told him that the City needs a definite commitment for the release. Dunham stated that he thought the corporate headquarters in Dallas would approve the June 1 date. Graves stated that he changed the date on the release which is before Council and that is the only change on the release since the last time it was brought to Council for approval. Graves added the release must be approved before the Court System will approve bonding for the project. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of the Mutual Release between -the City of Kenai and Grace Drilling Company and Councilman Walker SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. H-7. Discussion - Assignment of Lease/Kenai Bowling Alley. Graves reported that the new operators are in the building and are operating the business. The new operators require an assignment from the Small Business Administration who took over from the former owner, Church, at the time of the bankruptcy. A telecopied, signed assignment has been received from SBA, and the original should arrive in a few days. The operators have received permission from SBA to be in the building now.

VOTE: McComsey: Yes Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes Walker: Yes Swarner: No Monfor: Absent. Measles: Yes MOTION PASSED. H-9. Approval - Award of Architectural/Engineering Services for the Kenai Courthouse - McCool, Carlson, Green. Williams referred to Engineer Jack LaShot's memorandum which was included in the packet, along with a fee and scope letter from McCool, Carlson & Green. Williams stated that Brighton, Kornelis,, Brown, Graves and he met with Michael Carlson on December 20. They tried to cut the cost as much as possible. Williams stated that the primary problem is that it has been a long time since the original design was done for the Palmer building. The design was not done on a CAD system, but done manually. The building will cost more due to the positioning, etc. The design will. k>e subject to the Court System's approval. Walker stated that in reviewing the letter he has difficulty with their billing on time and expenses without limits. A contractor could take considerable risk if he underestimates the time to do the work. Walker stated he prefers strong bids or bids with a cap on them. Kornelis stated that the original proposal was a lump sum. Kornelis stated he understands the letter to be a not - to -exceed amount. The architect is putting a high amount on the project because he knows it will be the maximum amount. Kornelis stated that he has sent a copy of the normal contract the City uses. He received a letter back from the architect wherein he mentions the high price to insure enough cost coverage. Williams stated that at: the end of the meeting, the architect stated that this amount was as low as they could go. Williams also informed Council that Kluge and Wm. Nelson will be involved with the engineering and inspection of the project. A better price can be acquired with the civil engineering and construction inspection being done locally. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 2, 1992 PAGE 9 Walker stated that this was not bid out. Council does not know if money was saved going with this architect. Williams advised against bidding the project. If a new design was used, the architectural fees would be more, perhaps up to $450,000. Williams stated the project is being done in conjunction with the Court System. The Court System likes the Palmer building. The plans for the Palmer building are copyrighted. Smalley remarked that LaShot's letter states to only approve the schematic design and design development at this time. Kornelis stated that is because there is only enough money for this portion at this time,. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED the City of Kenai award the first two phases of the court house project, the schematic design and design development in the amount of $136,597, to McCool Carlson and Green contingent upon the approval of the Alaska Court System.

The memorandum included a schedule to meet with the insurance brokers, etc. Williams stated that there was prior discussion to invite local businesses, within 20 miles of Kenai. Williams requested that Brown invite the JIA-AML group as well. Brown stated that he did not want to receive quotes from retention groups or insurance pools. Brown does not want to get involved with the JIA and would not want to lead them on. Brown added that he thinks the City should shop for policies, and that a city this size should not be in an insurance pool. Williams stated that he thought Sitka was participating. Williams added that neither Anchorage, Fairbanks, nor Juneau are in the pool. Soldotna is participating. Williams would like to see if there would be a savings if the City participated in the pool. Williams stated he did not think that would be leading them on. It would be shopping. Williams stated that he thought the City should review it. Brown stated that J:TA will not meet the criteria for A -rated companies. Brown stated that if the Council wants to invite them, he will, however, it is not how he intended to direct the City's insurance program. Brown added that Kenai would probably be the largest city involved. Brown stated that he believes that if they are given the opportunity to participate, it will become political and will be more and more difficult to say no. Brown stated that he will get two quotes from each broker. This will insure that each broker can quote and no one will be blocked out. Consensus of Council was to follow the :schedule set out in the Brown's memorandum (which does not include JIA). RENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 2, 1992 PAGE 13 I-6.

Engineer By Contractor L)a�e Owner Date 1791-1991 CITY OF KENAI 64Z;04�W4 44z,-i" f f 210 FIDALGO KENAI, ALASKA 99611 TELEPHONE 283 - 7535 FAX 907-283-3014 TO: William J. Brighton, City Manager FROM: Keith Kornelis, Public Works Director G DATE: January 10, 1992 SUBJECT: STP Disinfection Facility Change Order No. 6 FOR: Council meeting of January 15, 1992 Public Works recommends approval of Change Order No, 6. ITEM NO. I.: As you can see from the drawing, page 6, the one emergency light, L26, was drawn to give; emergency light to both the chlorine and sulfur dioxide storage rooms. This is not possible since there are operable sliding doors that stay shut except when changing cylinders. Therefore, the electrician had to furnish and install an additional emergency light so each room would have emergency light. ITEM NO. 2_: All of the electrical equipment in the mechanical room was so heavy that the normal wall of the prefabricated and contractor designed building could not handle the load. The wall had to be structurally rebuilt: and had to be moved out away from the building bracing. Since no new or additional items had been added to this wall since it was bid, the contractor should have ;made arrangements with his building subcontractor to increase the load bearing capacity of this wall. The contractor has been very adamant about receiving extra money for furring out and building this new wall. To clarify our position and to prevent a possible future claim I included this item as a change order. Item no. 3 of this change order helps the contractor out a great dc2l so it encouraged him to agree to this item no. 2. 'age a 0 f S Page 2 STP - CO #6 1 / 10/92 ITEM NO.3.: This item of the change order allows the contractor to complete the exterior concrete work, outside light pole, and exterior painting after break-up. This is a great benefit to the contractor but also helps in getting a better quality product. Nelson & Associates letter of November 4. 1991, page 14, gives some good explanations why it would benefit the project. These three (3) items would not interfere with the operational end of the disinfection facility. Public Works agrees with Nelson and G & S that waiting to do these items would be best.

ITEM NO. _l.: The contractor installed the light switches as shown on the plans, page 3, inside the chlorine and sulfur dioxide storage rooms. As a safety and convenience feature the City would like to see the switches changed to the entrance roorn so the operators could turn the lights on and look. at the scales and cylinders through the window without entering the storage rooms. ITEM NO. 2.: The new improved pressure regulator for the chlorine and sulfur dioxide cylinders has a heater on the drip leg. The drip leg catches any liquid and this new heater heats the drip leg, thus changing the liquid back to gas. This prevents liquid from going beyond the regulator. The plug-in outlet for these heaters was not anticipated but is needed. These two i.lems were requested by the City and Public Works recommends approval of this Change Order No. 7.

Item No. 1: The plans and specifications call for 4 alarm lights on the outside of the control building that would go on if there was a chlorine or sulfur dioxide leak in three different locations. This is ok, but not what the City wanted, (operational -wise). The City wanted one of these four lights to go on if one of the two chlorine or two sulfur dioxide pumps went down. This would let us know that our effluent was not being properly treated and we were more than likely operating out of compliance,. We could then take corrective action. Item No. 1 makes the necessary electrical changes to do this. We still have an outside alarm light that goes on if there is a leak plus indicator lights in the mechanical room to tell us where. Also there is an alarm light in the main operations roots of the plant. Item No. 2: The plans and specifications call for the shut down of the fans and dampers for the air intakes if there is a chlorine or sulfur dioxide leak in the control building. It does not, however, call for a shut down of the exhaust system. The whole purpose of the scrubber is to prevent gas from escaping into the environment. Therefore, it is absolutely essential that the exhaust system is also shut down when there is a leak. Item No. 2 makes this change.

Dear Mavor: am writing to ask AA) to join me in a c umpaign to reorder federrd budget priorities and redefine national security. Today we have a new world order, but a 'ederal government held hostage to a now obsolete budget agreement. Witho at a change in Washington, federal budget pri(D sties will lockout any reim estnaent in cities or towns for at least two more years To change priorities will require not only our best efforts with the Congress, but also our best efforts to reach out to our ow n constituents and taxpayers. During the last Iew months the,vorld a'. ve have known it for the h•,st half century has changed beyond comprehension President Bush's courago )Lrs and unilateral r uclear arms reduction pro aouncement signalled the end of the Cold War. The Warsaw Pact forces whi�-h so threatr°ned Western democracies have ceased to exist. Yet the budget <_,umm it agreement set by the president and Congress nearly a year before these momentous events loci s in a level of defense spercing at near S300 )illion a year versus domestic spending at $200 billion per year. It prohibits any ruts in defense spendint; ro meet thtgie,itt-,,r_ priorities and needs in o;rr own communities. It puts every city and town program in a shark tank - no program to hell cities (:an grow except at the expense of another. Near!yoneyear ago lie National Leaic,w )f Cities Board of Directors - Independents, Republicans, and Democrat, - vote i Unanimously to recomml,,id cutting ,-urrent ,refeme spending by 30 percent between now and 1996 to no more than $20,1 Billion annually. We voted that 60 percent of those savinf: , must be used to reduce the federal deficit and national debt; 40 percent must be reinvested in Americ,�i for economic cr,n,( rsion and adjustment. We have witnessed noarly a decade of lecline in real wages and incomes for most Americans. Our infrastructure i, crumbling, Our edccatiOrt system c,-�nap<lres poorly on any international measure. And while the federal government ha: systematically disinvesteci n local governrne� over the last decade, the federal government has not changed its promises tt r our citizens to provide cl(-.in air, cleans water, •afe chinking water, safer v,ork places, better pensions, etc. What has changers i ; that the federal govern^ gent has sii�aply ai, mated that we be held responsible and pay for those same federal goals an(i objectives since it has so r,iany other greeter spending priorities. This decade of cl sinv >-,tment in cities and owns has resulted in a maj)rty of cities cutting back on vital services and publi( infrastructure. States ano I )cal goverru»er is, re cutting funding for edu(:ation, And states and local governments are raisinf, taxes, fees, and revenues t,:) balance'ocal budgets. Restoring cutbacks irchools, public libraries, transportation, job training, drug intervention, and health care is vital tc economic recovery and t? ncreased oroc;rctvity Whether it is requiring cities and'owns tt obtain federal stormwater permits at up to S2 billion a city - or a "local tax or rain" as one cityofficial called it - or naanclat, w, eder rally set retirement benefits projected to cost local governmentsSl0 billior over the next four years; ,ve have seen a ste,i, iy increase in the amount of local taxes we are required to raise - not to meet what our taxpayers and cc_,nstituents want bt : to comply with what the federal government requires. I believe we can reinvt: nt cir.ies and town . I have pride and faith in what we can do. But doing it will require change. And that will require a'I of us to make the tedr -al government change.

Gerry Herrmann, Executive Director of the John Inskeep Environmental !.earning Center, Oregon City, Oregon, explains about making "composite building materials" freorn waste plastics, wood, and other materials. Trash to Treasure: Economic Development Opportunities For Your Waste 1 ✓ Chow Taylor I went to this workshop because I had to a> part of my job taking notes for AML duringthe Local Government Conference. l ou haveto admit, garbage and solid waste a -e not particularly inviting as a morning's E ntertainment. I've often taken potshots (:.II in fun, of course!) at Marjorie Dunaway a she rapidly became the "Trash Lady of Bristol Bay." However, after listening to Gerry Herrmann of the John Inskeep Envi- rmmental Learning Center, Oregon City, Oregon, talk about the potential uses of Veryday trash, Marjorie's unsolicited title eans a lot more than it did before. According to Gerry Herrmann, the key ,sue is to make waste a commodity rather it.,an a liability. The process of waste management follows five basic steps: 1) ri duce, 2) reuse, 3) recycle, 41) reclaim, 4) d spose. Waste is a byproduct of society Ald is generated everywhere. In order for ,,,.ante to I:recon a resource commodity it a ust be concentrated. Tha- is one of the oblems faced in Alaska and especially in ash Alaska. In order to make waste a able commodity, it must Lie concen- trated, which is difficult when de.uling w ith large geographic areas and smal poptla- tions. But it can be done, and after listen- ingtoMr. Herrmann'scomments.and look- ing at products generated from waste ma- terials, it is clear to me that ni options are availableto us if we are willinf; to invest. the energy and effort it will take itc, put Our garbage to good use. Plastics are a byproduct of re'lning oil When oil production is high a great dea' of plastic is generated. As we are all aware, plastics are an integral part of our lives in the U.S. But, once it is used, what do we do with plastic waste? Mr. Herrmann presented some interesting info rmati-)n regarding manufacture of useful piastic byproducts. A$2 million investmentw().,Id fund construction of a plant to rianufac turebuilding materials rnadeofco mingled plastic waste combined with woo, J or pa per waste.

Mr. Herrmann's message was loud and clear, especially at a time when we are all concerned with recycling; :and waste re- duction. The challenge is there to make efforts to use the plastic and styrofoam products we are using ingr('atvolumesfor something other than taking tip spact� in landfills. Ml. Herrmann brought rnanyexhibits of p astics and combinations of plastics and waste wood products combined and pro- essed to form very durable construction materials. These materials do not break -it wn as does wood as a result of natural )r cesses such as wind, rai=a, heat, cc 1d, tndhumidity.

"There are services first-class cities h ive to provide by law, such as providing, util - ties, schools, land use plans and the cc ll, tion of taxes, " said Chandler, "Fut fire- , police are not among the sere ides a cit. legally has to provide."

The other national speakers echoed hi; views and ;poke of the efforts of various s-ates to deal vith federal mandates and match shifting responsibilities in the sate local relati )nship with appropriate revenue soun-f�s, judge Stewart piqued thei iterest of tr+r elists with his interpretatinn of the co, stnutior, which he says worild allow the lef islature to tax residents of the unor- ganiz( d borough to pay for public services thev i,)w receive from the state for free. ( )rr of the livelier exchanges in the he.rrir ,s occurred during Department of Public Safety Commissioner Ri-hard Burton's presentation of the state's posi- tion on provision of police service n the Anchorage Hillside area and Wasilla Sev- eral membersoftheaudiencecomm"anted bitterly on the amount of state fundi ag for troopers that had been spent in these areas because local residents have refused °O tax themselves. One participant estimated that the state had spent the equivalent of 5100 million to protect the Hillsid( and 520 million in Wasilla. Thejob of the Task Force is handica )ped byfundingand time constraints. Governor Hickel vetoed the S107,000 fiscal no (,on legislation establishing the Task Force, which now operates with no funding .and a staff person borrowed from °he Governor's Office of Management and Budget. As originally proposed, the task Force was to exist for two years, bt t its lifespan was subsequently reduced to one year. A resolution passed by A,'v1 L rrem- bers in Fairbanks urges the administrat.on and legislature to extend the tenure oi he Task Force for another year and to res � ire its original funding. Task Force members include Sema rs Arliss 5turgulewski and Steve Frank; Fep- resentatives Ron Larson and Ivan k. n; Shelbv Stastny, Director, Office of tv,--i agement and Budget (0,11,,4E3'); Edgar (continued on page I ;) ,.All 1 ouchstone ■ Decemb r 1-i I School Construction (continued from page 3) According to the resolurio.�n, "unless the backlog of school construction needs is addressed, school buildings will continue to deteriorate, be more expensive to fix, be a deterrent to the delivery of a quality education, and place more students .:end teachers in dangerous situations." -I he resolution goes on to state that "the mem- i)ers of the Alaska Municip,d League I)e- ieve that Alaska's citizens, if given an Dpportunity, would approve the issuarce ,)f bonds to provide funding for the prior- ity -based grant program for school con- ,truction and repair needs."

'i-he AML welcomes its new members and thanks those members that have renewed and continued their membership in and support of the League. Legishation The AML had many successes in the First Session of the 17th Alaska State Legisla- ture, some of which were lost to Governor Hickel's budget vetoes. The 1991 Munici- pal Platform, the AML's 1991 legislative priorities included: - rer.toration of the i-"Y 91 cuts and full funding for key municipal aid programs establishment of a task force on governmental partnerships resolution of the mental health trust dispute approval of a senior citizenldisabled veterans tax rebate program - establishment of a program to reimburse municipalities for oil/hazardous substance spill cleanup efforts - approval of funding for municipal assistance and state revenue sharing programs full funding of the education foundation formula full funding of the school construction debt reimbursement program funding of the school construction grant program and - full funding for operations and maintenance of basic statewide facilities.

Overall, we had a successful session, particularly with the legislature. The Governor and administration were less supportive of our priorities. Publications The League staff has updated and published many of the AML publications available to the League members again this year. As you know, in response to the members' request at last vear's business meeting to increase dues and reduce costs to save AML programs and services overall, the Board significantly reduced the number of copies sent to members as a pan of their general membership. November 11, PVI Page 5 The 1991 Policy Statement, I PW Municipal Platform, and the I P91 Municipal Officials D&-eciory (published jointly with the Department of Community and Regional Affairs) were published and distributed earlier this year. The information for the 1992 Directory is being compiled now. The 1991 Catalog of State Programs for Municipalities (formerly the State Aid Catalog) has been updated and distributed The FY91 Municipal Sarlmy Survey is complete and available, and data collection from those municipalities that participate is underway for the FY 92 edition. The AML published 6 editions of the AML Newsletter last fiscal year, including 3 under the newsletter's new name, The Touchstone. The AML kept the membership informed on legislative actions throughout the First Session of the 17th Alaska State Legislature with 14 "Legislative Bulletins" which was mailed out every Friday during the session. The Local Government Products and Services Directory," which was produced for two years, listing and describing businesses and organizations offering products and services to Alaskan local governments, was cancelled this year as a cost-cutting measure. Financial Last year, the Board significantly reduced expenditures and increased revenues in order to ensure the financial soundness of the Board, preserving as much of the service program as passible and minimizing dues increases. The budget -balancing measures worked, but costs continue to increase from the effects of inflation alone. At its August. meeting, the Board approved a budget for FY 92 with revenues exceeding expenditures by over $23,000. This includes a 3 percent dues increase for each of the next three years to offset the costs of inflation and maintain a balanced budget and an adequate fund balance. Elgee, Rehfeld and Funk, CPA's, of Juneau were hired again this year by the AML Board to perform an audit of the League's finances for FY 91. In their report to the Board, dated October 24, 1991, the auditors found that the League's records "present fairty, in all material respects, the financial position of the League at September 30, 1991 and 1990, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles." The audit, in summary, shows the following: ASSE-I `S 1991 1990 CURB ENT ASSETS Cash and equivalents S 140,502 S 158,304 Investment in certificate of deposit 50,000 Investment in deferred compensation funds 36,750 29,250 Accounts receivable 12,456 1,157 Accounts receivable - related party 17,428 Prelmid expenses 7,094 9,539 TOTAL.

November 11, 1991 Page 7 Programs Investment Pool The AML Investment Pool Committee, chaired by ANIL President Jerome Selby, Mayor of the Kodiak Island Borough, continued its work to set up a program for member municipalities and school districts to invest their idle funds on a short-term basis. The intent of the program is to insure protection and access with the highest return of interest earnings possible. Requests for proposals were sent out and Fidelity Investments of Boston and Security Pacific Bank of Alaska were selected to provide professional investment management services to the AML and its members. With the assistance of Eric Wohlforth and Julius Brecht of AML Associate Member firm of Wohlforth, Argetsinger, Johnson and Brecht, the League drafted legislation to clarify ANIL's authority to create an investment pool and had it introduced by the Commu- nity and Regional Affairs Committees in both houses. The legislation passed but Governor Hickel vetoed it. The committee believes the pooling approach is still in the best interests of the AML membership but is pursuing alternative methods to provide investment services to ARIL members until legislation can be passed or the pool can be created under current statutes. Unfortunately, the implementation of the AML's Local Investment Service for Alaska or "LISA" has been delayed because Security Pacific has withdrawn its participation as aresult of their reorganization plans and staff changes. In addition to President Selby, the other members of the Investment Pool Committee are Mike Barnette of the Lower Yukon School Distnct, Ellen Braden of Anchorage, Harold Ivanoff of Atqasuk, Ross Kinney of the Kenai Peninsula Borough, Kevin Ritchie of Juneau, Dave Rose of the Alaska Permanent Fund, and Judi Slajer of the Fairbanks North Star Borough. The committee members deserve a lot of recognition and appreciation from the whole ANIL membership for the significant contributions of time, and expense the committee members and their communities and organizations have made. Awards Program Under the Board -approved "Excellence in Local Government Program," the AMI. again recognized individuals as the Municipal Official of the Year, both elected and appointed, and those who have made "outstanding contributions" through their work in the t%ML The League also showed its "appreciation" to those who have helped the AML 'The AML Board chooses individuals for these honors from nominations made by the member. At the annual conference in Anchorage, former Unalaska Mayor Paul Fuhs (now director of the state Division of Economic Development) and former Kodiak Island Borough Clerk Gaye Vaughan (now clerk of the Kenai Peninsula Borough) received the second annual Municipal Official of the Year Awards, and Fairbanks North Star Borough Chief Fiscal Officer Judi Slajer received the Outstand- ing Contribution Award. The third annual Municipal Official of the Year and Outstanding Contribution Awards will be made at the Annual Awards Banquet at the conclusion of this year's confer- ence. Clerks Institute The ANIL, in cooperation with the International Institute of Municipal Clerks (IIMC), the Association of Alaska Municipal Clerks (AAMC) and the University of Alaska, put on the [991 Municipal Clerks Institute in Juneau in March. The attendance of Whitehorse clerk Nancy Houston, this was the first ever "international" institute in held in Alaska. Thirty-two clerks, most of whom are working toward their Certified Municipal Clerk (CMC) designation, attended the Institute. Successful completion of three years of the Institute meets the educational requirement for the CMC designa- tion, granted by the IIMC. The Alaska Association of Municipal Clerks, in coopera- tion with the AML and the Department of Community and Regional Affairs, com- pleted and distributed a new Municipal Clerk's Handbook. Page 8 A1lfL Annual Report Newly Elected Officials Seminar Eighty-one elected and appointed municipal officials attended the 1 1/2 day Newly Elected Officials Seminar in Anchorage last November. The program, held in conjunction with the annual conference for the convenience of AML members, is a popular annual training program of the AML As a service to its members, the AML videotaped the 1989 NEO session and it is available on loan. Management Services AML has continued to provide services to the Alaska Municipal Management Association (AMMA) and the Alaska Conference of Mayors (ACoM) under separate service agreements. The Municipal Interim Management Services (MIMS) Program of the AMMA and AML, which began July 1989, continues to assist member munici- palities with key staff vacancies by providing interim management services. There are now 14 qualified individuals available with municipal management, finance, and clerk expertise. There were 5 requests or expressions of interest by municipalities for assistance this year. Since 1989, we have placed individuals in three municipalities. The AML has continued to assist the AMMA with its Range Rider Program this year. Under the program, former mayor and manager Rocky Guttierez is on contract to the AMMA to provide advice to municipal managers on request through the AML Insurance On July 1, 1991, the Alaska Municipal League Joint Insurance Association, Inc. began its fourth year of operation, providing property and casualty coverages and risk management services to the AML members electing to participate in the program. AMMIA program highlights include: 14 of the 37 charter participants renewed their coverage through the AML/JIA 10 municipalities and 2 school districts joined the program for FY 92, bringing the total participation to 62 - a 68 percent increase in participation in three years 7 municipalities are participating in the Law Enforcement Liability Program, which provides pooled coverage for police professional liability - Over $2.9 million in annual deposit contributions for FY 92, S5.5 million cash on hand, and a surplus of over S 1 million for FY 89, FY 90 and FY 91 combined, as of June 30, 1991 Program exposure rates for liability and auto liability rates were reduced by 15 and 60 percent, respectively, for FY 92; the rates for other coverages remained the same By the AMUHA's presence alone,we lowered insurance rates for all municipalities and school districts Offered a "big muni" plan for large municipalities ( banged the core coverage program from an exposure -based program to a true experience -based program offering real incentives for good loss control I erformed loss control site visits in 24 municipalities 'The AML Board appointed four individuals to the AML,IJIA Board of Trustees at its August meeting. AML Director and Mat -Su Borough Assembly Member Norm Levesque and St. Mary's City Manager Ed Cahill are new trustees and will take office November 1991 for two-year terms. The AML Board also re -appointed Dillingham Cit} Manager Lyle Larson to a new two-year term and former AML Director and Anchorage Assembly Mmember Joe Evans to fill the one-year unexpired term of Petersburg City Manager Dave Palmer, who resigned in July. 'Me boards and staff of the AMI. and AMUJIA join the membership in thanking Nenana Administrator Steve Bainbridge, who is resigning in November after complet- ing Three years of service on the Board and two years as chairman. Thanks to Peters- burg City Dave Palmer for his two years of service on the board, and thanks to the communities of all the board members for sharing their best to make the AML and the V4UJIA a success. November 11, 1991 Page 9 The AMUJIA is a major program of the AML for its members. The AMUJL,% is a pooled risk management program formed under AS 21.76 and provides property, workers' compensation, general and auto liability, police professional, and public officials errors and omissions coverages for municipalities and school districts. The program provides AML-member municipalities and school districts, who chose to participate, an Alaskan alternative to commercial insurance, programs to control their risk costs, and real incentives for effective loss control and safety. The League hopes that, as more municipalities and school districts learn more about the program, they will choose to participate in the AML/JIA, the AML insurance program created at the request of the AML members and owned and controlled by the communities in Alaska who particpate. Work Program In FY 91, the League continued to provide services to the AML membership and continue the implementation of the Board's strategic plan approved in 1987. Several major work program tasks were completed this year in addition to the programs discussed elsewhere in this report_ The AML continued to provide the programs and services the municipal and association members have come to expect and rely or. Municipal Pollution Prevention Roundtable The AML was also awarded a contract by the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation under which the League formed and conducts the Municipal Pollution Prevention Roundtable. The following individuals are serving on the roundtable to explore ways municipalities can help prevent pollution: Steve Bainbridge, Administra- tor, City of Nenana; Lee Browving, Environmental Services Manager, Municipality of Anchorage; Roy Carlson, Jr., Public Works Director, Matanuska-Susitna Borough; Margaret Drumm, Environmental Engineer, Alaska Health Project; Marjorie Dunaway, Solid Waste Project Coordinator, Southwest Alaska Municipa; Michael Glenn Moore, Grants Coordinator, City of Deering; Shaune Grose, Solid Waste Project Manager, Fairbanks North Star Borough; Nancy Gross, City Manager, City of Cordova; Joel Grunwaldt, Director Solid Waste Services, Municipality of Anchorage; Dan Keck, Mayor, City and Borough of Sitka; Catherine Mayer, Solid Waste Adminis- trator, Kenai Peninsula Borough; PNIY Prchal, City Manager, City of Unalaska; Charles Roat, Mayor, City of Anderson; Bill Spenser, Economic Development Director, Northwest Arctic Borough; Don Thornburgh, Compliance Officer, North Slope Borough, Bob Trousil, Environmental Engineer, Kodiak Island Borough; Tom Tumer„ Manager, Anchorage Recycling Center; Jim Voetberg, SPM/E, City of Ketchilmn; and William Wilcox, Cite Engineer, City of Valdez. The League has held three roundtable meetings since last February and another will be held in conjunction with workshops at the 1991 AML Conference. Under the contract, AML has provided updates on the roundtable meetings and will publish a final report following the roundLible's sixth meeting some time during the summer of 199 - Task. Force on Governmental Roles As mentioned above, the AML was successful in gaining passage of legislation creating the Task Forte on Governmental Roles (HCR 17). Even though Governor Hicket vetoed the funding for the Task Force, the Govemor's Office of Management and Budget has contributed staff time and some travel funds to the effort, as has the Department of Community and Regional Affairs. The League has also contributed a signific,int amount of time and money to assisting with the Task Force. In fact, ANIL Executive Director Scott Burgess is serving as its chairman. The gcxwl of the Task Force is to make recommendations on assigning various public services to the appropriate level of government, to recommend services each level of government should provide at a minimum, and to recommend the appropriate means to finance each of the services. The Task Force is to make its recommendations to the governor and the legislature by June 1991 The members of the Task Force are listed in the a nference program but municipal representatives Mark Begich of Anchorage, Lamar Cotten, Caleb Pungow yi of Rotzebue, and Kevin Ritchie of Juneau deserve additional recognition and thanks. Thanks also to those municipal officials that respr rnded to the Task Force survey on municpal services. Page 10 AML Annual Report Municipal officials should keep up with the work of the Task Force and participate in its activities whenever possible to ensure that it can do the best job possible in laying out a program for the delivery of public services in Alaska for the future. In -Place Resources Working Group AML President Selby also appointed working groups to represent the AML in two other efforts initiated by legislation. The AML is working with the Department of Community and Regional Affairs and the Department of Revenue on a study and recommendations on the proper treatment of the taxation of natural resources in place. The legislature put a two-year exemption on municipal taxation of in -place resources, e.g. minerals and timber, through July 1, 1992, and asked for a study and recommendations to be presented in January 1992 (HB 159). Selby appointed Mike Ibompson of Juneau (chair), Jim Barnett of Anchorage, Eben Hopson of the Bristol 3ay Borough, Gary Lewis of the MatanuskaSusitna Borough, Ray Lang of Nome, ;Suzanne Little of Soldotna, Guy Sattley of the Fairbanks North Star Borough, Lee Sharp with the law firm of Preston, Thorgrimson, Shidler, Gates & Ellis, and Jeff "Smith of the Northwest Arctic Borough. Fisheries Tax Working Group "Me League has also appointed a group of municipal officials to work with the Department of Community and Regional Affairs to develop regulations by July 1992 to implement a new fish tax program approved in the Second Session of the 16th ,rUaska State Legislature (HB 456). Members of this working group include Tom Briggs (formerly) of Craig (chair), Ed Cahill of St. Mary's, Linda Swarner of Kenai, Jack McFarland of the Kodiak Island Borough, Jud Fager of Sitka, William Quinlivan d f Emmonak, Nancy Gross of Cordova, Lamar Cotten (formerly) of the Aleutians I -.ast Borough, Lynda Walker of Haines, Ross Kinney of the Kenai Peninsula Bor- t: ugh, Chow Taylor (formerly) of the Lake and Peninsula Borough, Joe McGill of Dillingham, and Pat Carlson of the Kodiak Island Borough. Finance Committee I i addition, AML President Jerome Selby appointed the 1991 AML Finance Commit- t::.e to review the dues structure and the AML budget_ After a review of the AML dues structure, which is based on population, the committee determined that no other method was more equitable and recommended no changes. Serving on the committee were Mayor Juanita Helms of the Fairbanks North Star Borough (chair), Mayor Willie Goodwin, Jr. of Kotzebue, Mayor George Cane' of Palmer, Dave Dapcevich of Stka, and Kevin Ritchie of Juneau, Conference Planning Committee This year, for the first time, AML, staff relied on a conference planning committee, made up of representatives from the municipal associations, to help plan conference workshops. In addition to helping plan workshop topics, some of the associations also cosponsored sessions. The 1991 Conference Planning Committee members were: Tom Pitman, President, Alaska Association of Assessing Officers; Jeanne Donald, Alaska Association of Municipal Clerks; Elizabeth Benson and Peter Freer, Alaska Chapter, American Planning Association; Bob Brodie, Alaska Conference of Mayors; Bill Schechter, Alaska Fire Chiefs Association; Don Walters and Karen Moore, Alaska Municipal Finance Officers Association; Jim Dumont, Alaska Recreation and Park .Ak:sociation; Bob Foote, Nortlx(Northwest Mayors Conference; and Alice Ruby, 1 �: )uthwest Alaska Municipal Conference. Legislative The AML Legislative Committee (see list), under the leadership of Doug Griffin, City Manager of Valdez, assisted the Board and staff with the AML legislative program this Committee year. In addition to an organizational meeting in Anchorage after the annual confer- ence, the entire committee met twice times in Juneau during the session. Several subcommittees met early in the summer and the Legislative Steering Committee met in Valdez in July. The Legislative Committee recommended a draft 1992 Policy November 11, 1991 Page 11 Statement and recommended legislative priorities for the 1992 Municipal Platform. Following the 1991 annual conference, the AML Board will adopt the 1992 Municipal Platform, which will bring the AML's legislative program into focus for the fourth year. Board The AML Board of Directors met sac times this past year to set AML policy and to spearhead the legislative program. The Board held its August meeting in Kodiak as the guests of AML President Jerome Selby and the Kodiak Island Borough. Alakanuk Mayor Peter Black vacated his seat mid -year. After giving notice of a desire to fill the position by appointment, AML received no nominations from member municipalities. within District 8; therefore, the seat remains vacant. In addition to attending the AML Board and Legislative Committee meetings, the AML Board and staff represented the AML and Alaska at a variety of national, regional, and statewide meetings during the year. These included the 1990 National League of Cities (NLC) Congress of Cities in Houston, Texas; the NLC and National Association of Counties (NACo) legislative conference meetings in Washington, D.C.; the NACo Western Interstate Region (WIR) annual meeting in Maui, Hawaii; the NACo Annual Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah; the Southwest Alaska Municipal Conference in Kodiak; and the Southeast Conference in Juneau.

Long-time Juneau Office AML Administrative Assistant Phyllis Larson resigned after after nearly six years of dedicated service to the League. Tom Butler was hired as AMUJIA Risk Control Officer in April, replacing Vicki Jennings who also resigned. Tom has already visited 24 member communities participating in the AMMIA, the League's insurance programs, to review their loss control and safety programs. Barbara Swapinski joined the ANIL staff as Secretary in July, replacing Gwenn Milliken. But the AML member- ship did not lose Gwenn's talents. She was promoted to Administrative Assistant for the 1.eaf,ue's insurance program, replacing Peggie Ward. Valerie Davidson was hired as the AMUJIA secretary. Director of Risk Management Steve Wells, Programs Manager Chrystal Stillings Smith, and Staff Associate Kevin Smith have become familiar AML and AMIJJIA staff members and continue to make valuable contribu- tions to the League and its insurance program. Page 12 AML Annual Report The AML and AMIAIA offices are still located on the second floor of the National Bank of Alaska Building, but they took much more inviting and are much efficient work spaces after major remodeling. The staff has continued to produce high volume, of work of high quality throughout and inspite of the renovation, which continues in conjunction with an overall remodelling of the bank. As always, AML staff invite officials of member municipalities to visit their "Branch Office in the Capital" while in funeau. 1990 Conference The League celebrated its 40th anniversary when the Local Government Conference was hosted by the Municipality of Anchorage, November 14-16, 1990.

Ted Stevens United States Senator 522 Hart Senate Building Washington, D.C. 205110-0201 RE: FLIGHT SERVICE STATION City of Kenai CITY OF KENQ „OtiC CSC � 4a'. 210 Fidalgo Avenue Kenai, Alaska 99611 TELEPHONE 283-7535 FAX 907-283-3014 The Federal Aviation Administration in 1982.sent out solicitation for offers to lease approximately 10,000 square feet of floor space for a Flight Service facility for Southcentral Alaska. The inducement from the Federal Aviation Administration standpoint was that wherever this facility was located, it would require between seventy and eighty full-time employees to operate the Flight Service Station within twenty-four (24) months of the completion of the building. The City of Kenai submitted an offer prior to December 26, 1982. Kenai's submittal was based upon reliance of the Federal Aviation Administration's assurance that if the City of Kenai were the successful proposer, it would necessitate moving between seventy and eighty new employees into the City of Kenai. On that reliance, the City of Kenai proposed to build a $1.5 building and provide major maintenance costs for the facility at the expense of local taxpayers in return for the additional jobs that would come to the City of Kenai. The City complied with sixty-one pages of specific requirements demanded by the FAA to be included in the structure. This imposed an economic hardship upon the City of Kenai, but in the long -run, it was felt that the economic attribute of additional employees in or, around the City of Kenai would be beneficial. Kenai's proposal was successful and the FAA awarded Kenai the Flight Service Station for Southcentral Alaska. At the time this proposal was made, there were also proposals for Northern Alaska and Southern Alaska. There were no proposals from any of the municipalities in order to acquire the Flight Service Station in their communities. It then became incumbent Senator Ted Stevens December 30, 1991 Page 2 upon the federal government to pay the entire cost of the structure of the Flight Service Station in Fairbanks and in Juneau, without any local participation. After Kenai, having subsidized the Federal Aviation Administration to the tune of one and one-half million dollars for the Flight Service. Station in Kenai, the Federal Aviation Administration is several years behind in coming across with their portion of the agreement, i.e. the number of Flight Service Station employees the the City had anticipated receiving originally. At present, there are only twenty-five (25) employees in connection with the Flight Service Station. While at the same time, politics has interjected its influence into the Kenai operation and the result is it will be several years more before some of the areas that were anticipated moving to Kenai will get there, if ever. From this standpoint, the City feels that the FAA and the Congress have welshed on their side of the deal in order to get Kenai to build the Flight Service Station for the federal government and we are protesting the continuation of Flight Service facilities at such places as Homer and others that originally anticipated being moved to the City of Kenai. It is with regret that I write complaining about the FAA maintaining their portion of the deal upon which the City of Kenai relied and feel that the taxpayers in the City of Kenai are being short --changed by the federal government.

The Alaska department of Revenue forecast for FY 92 provided a high, mid and low case scenario with respective projections of $2.68 billion, $2.43 billion and $2.12 billion. The legislature built their FY '92 budget on the mid -case scenario. Based on actual prices and production during the fiscal year to date, June through December, the Department of Revenue projects FY'92 revenues of $2.310 billion. this projection was based on the price of ANS Lower 48 crude (fiscal year to date = $17.42) and production as reported at Alyeska Pump Station 31 (fiscal year to date = 1.7.89 MMB/D.)

B2 Friday, cfanuary 3,1992, The Anchorage Tim, City grapples with effects of lawsuit mania ASSOCIATED PRESS FAIRBANK,i — City officials say a rainy day ac- count to cover lawsuits is among their most expen- sive budget items. People who sue the city range from a woman who sued for pain and suffering after Y rushing to avoid a hydrant's gush to a homeowner, with a ruined driveway. To cover such legal contingencies, Fairbanks sets aside $600,000 a year — about 4 percent of the city's $16 million -budget. Barbara Koneczny, the city's finance director, said some of the money is paid out in worker compensa- tion claims. . "But most of it is to pay for civil claims against the l city and the costs of defending the cases," she said Some years the city does not pay out as much c as it budgets. `Tile city Is all .3 In 1986, for example, easy target for lit- the fund paid out y g , $270,000. igation.

But others are just frivolous," he said. City Attorney Herb Kuss says a win -lose ratio is hard to calculate, especially since a win is hard to de- fine. Sometimes, city attorneys can do little but try lim- iting the damages, . 'TO me, if a lawsuit could cost us $500,000 and ends up costing $20,000, we've won," said Kuss. With another $600,000 plugged into the new bud- get there is no telling if it will be enough. One thing already is clear. The city attorneys of- fice has not had so many civil uses to defend in a long while.:`: ` nmes-am tough out there," Kuss said � `°The city is an easy target for litigation. If a plain- tiff wins against the city, he does not have to worry. about getting the money."

Noblit, a former News -Miner editor, was sentenced to three years ini jail in 1989 z for hindering the murder prosecution of his room- mate, now serving 30 years for stabbing an Alaska Railroad conductor. Noblit and Baird say police vice lated their cavil rights by allegedly taking books, f>xr-' nuture, tools, two cars and three dogs during a search of their trailer home. • Keith Wasserman, a Fairbanks resident who b claims he suffered physical injury, embarrassment, humiliation and lost income when police arrested x him in 1990 at a grocery store. Police apparently .► mistook Wasserman for a federal fugitive. • Frank Turney, a Fairbanks man who says a city ordinance that bans panhandling is unconstitution- al, fie was cited under the ordinance in June and was scheduled for trial early next year. The city eventually dropped the case. : , . ,i CITY OF KENIl I FOR COUNCIL I NFOHNVITI ON - January 15, 1992 Meetinq Transfers of Fimuls i_inrler $ I,000 (KIME ; .d5.0?0) Date D�artment Amount From To �•� a� Explanation 12/13/91 '`--9- 12/31/91 1/7/92 1/9/92 STP 01r Recreation Airport Terminal Airport Terminal $140.00 558.58 500.00 530.00 305.00 Contingency Contingency R&M Supplies Contingency Contingency Small l T.^n i Small Tools Small Tools Advertising m,_ case To purchase small tools Replace washing machine at Re c• Addel. advertisingwfor towing RFP S S C:) C:: I T S .,ef\ S I —A L F G)\ I N-I I. \TI ON SAND PtBLIC AVFAIRS CON St I.F:xNl''S co 12 ,T41 (JAN 1992 aye Cn ?
