Dear Mayor Williams,
Kenai Health
210 Fidalgo Street, Suite 102
Kenai, Alaska 99611
(907) 283-4871
November 4, 1993
Thank you for your concerns about the crowded conditions at the
Kenai Health Center. As you know, money has been requested in the
coming State budget to fund the building of a new Public Health
Center. I tried to find out what amount was requested but was
unsuccessful. The "budgeteers" are unwilling to share this
information at this time, because if what we got was radically
different from the request, it could cause embarrassment to the
Department of Health and Social Services. Of course, when the
budget comes out in January, all of this will be public
information.
Regardless of this, we would still appreciate any support that
you can give us in obtaining larger quarters. A resolution from
the Kenai City Council would be great. One from the Chamber of
Commerce would not hurt either.
Another suggestion that was -made to me is to request that the
City establish a committee to oversee efforts to bring about the
construction of, or relocation of, the Health Center in a bigger
space. Perhaps council members and other Kenai health providers
could be appointed to it. They would have a lot greater leeway in
coaxing legislators to our point of view than I, as a State
employee, am permitted to exercise.
I'd like to give you some, more recent, information about the
"Old Court House". A meeting was held last week for State
agencies that might be interested in relocating there. The newest
description that I have of the space that is available indicates
that it is considerably larger than I had previously been led to
believe and that it is above ground. Because of this I am
submitting a statement of our Health Center's requirements to see
if there is a possibility that we might be relocated there. I
don't mean to get anyone's hopes up. The renovations that are
mandated because we provide health services might not be possible
in this structure, or too costly.
I plan to attend the November 17th City Council meeting to be
available to answer any questions you or the Council might have.
Thank you, again, for your continued efforts to improve our
situation.
Sincerely,
ci
Jeanne K. Berger Nurse Manager

Memo to: Tom Manninen. City Manager
From: Charles A. Brown. Finance Director
Date: October 27, 1993
Subject: Spur Water & Sewer Crossings; Fund Balance
Attached is an ordinance appropriating $250,000 for Spur Highway water and sewer
crossings. An update of the Water & Sewer fund balance follows.
Total W & S fund balance, 6-30-93 $ 1,002,222
Appropriated for FY 94 budget (139,840)
Net open P.O.'s at 6-30-93 (5,464)
FY 94 approp. for water study (19,780)
FY 94 approp. for Thompson Park W & S (600,000)
Fund balance now available 237,138
This approp. for crossings (250,000)
Deficit $ (12,862)
Even though the above shows a deficit, it is so close to zero that I believe
money is available for the $250,000 appropriation. Several factors contribute
to this.
First, the construction bid for the Thompson Park sewer interceptor was about
$600,000 under budget. The Water & Sewer fund contributed $268.660 toward the
project. Assuming we avoid large cost overruns on the interceptor project, the
$268,660 should be returned to the Water & Sewer fund upon completion of the
project.
Second, we usually do not spend all of the budget. So, an unknown portion of
the FY 94 Water and Sewer appropriation will probably lapse to fund balance at
June 30, 1994.
Third, there is a reasonable chance that the $139,840 appropriation toward the
FY 94 budget will not have to be repeated in the FY 95 budget. Capital and
significant repair costs (sewer cleaning truck, telemetry system. and sewer
treatment grinder) were $320,000 in FY 94. Hopefully, we will not have similar
extraordinary costs in FY 95.
Also, consider that at some future date, the $600,000 appropriated for Thompson
Park water and sewer lines should be returned in the form of special assessment
payments.
But, a note of caution is warranted. Don't expect much money to be available
for other water and sewer projects for a few years.

RESOLUTION NO. 93-87
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, URGING
THE ALASKA LEGISLATURE TO PLACE A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
RELATED TO THE ALASKA PERMANENT FUND ON THE BALLOT FOR THE NEXT
GENERAL ELECTION.
WHEREAS, at the Kenai Peninsula Borough Mayor's 1993 Economic
Summit, a proposal was made for changing the State's system of
finance to achieve sustained spending, which has attracted state-
wide interest; and,
WHEREAS, hearings held by the Kenai Peninsula Borough, the City
of Soldotna and the Kenai Peninsula Caucus, concluded residents
desire an opportunity to vote on this proposition.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
KENAI, ALASKA, as follows:
Section 1: The Alaska State Legislature is petitioned to
place a constitutional amendment on the ballot for the next
general election which would generally:
a. Dedicate all of the State of Alaska's future natural
resource revenues to the Alaska Permanent Fund;
b. Transfer assets of various state reserve fund to the
Alaska Permanent Fund; and,
C. Enable a percentage of the market value of the Alaska
Permanent Fund to be withdrawn and appropriated by the
Legislature for financing state government.
Section 2: The Kenai City Clerk is hereby authorized and
directed to forward a copy of this resolution to each member of
the Alaska State Legislature and Governor Walter J. Hickel.
PASSED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, this 17th day
of November, 1993.

Carol L. Freas, City Clerk
The State's Natural Resource Revenues
Premises
• a substantial part of the state's revenues will continue to be derived from natural resources I
• revenues from natural resources fluctuate unpredictably
• Alaska's economy will continue to be dependent on state spending
Existing system
• the state spends the natural resource revenues 3
Problem caused by existing system
• when natural resource revenues are plentiful, state spending creates a great demand in the
private sector for goods and services
• if the revenues then decrease substantially, spending is cut and the demand evaporates, with
loss of lobs and other adverse consequences
Theory
• for a stable economy, the state must spend at a sustainable level
• but it can't do that, because of the unpredictable fluctuation of natural resource revenues
• therefore, the state should not spend the natural resource revenues
• it should convert them into revenues that don't fluctuate (or that fluctuate predictably), so tt
it can spend at a sustainable level
Proposed system
• natural resource revenues are not appropriable and are deposited into the Alaska Permanent
Fund
• the fund is invested. and earnings are reinvested
• a fixed percentage of the fund (at its average market value over a period) is withdrawn annually
for appropriation"
• the withdrawal feature is so designed that the revenues made available for appropriation don't
fluctuate, and they continually increases
I In Alaska the chief source of wealth is natural resources. The state owns and can tax them or otherwise is
entitled to the revenues from them.
2 When and how much these revenues will increase or decrease can't be predicted. at least in the long term.
because they are governed by discovery, production and world price
3 Except about 10% of them, which goes into the Alaska Permanent Fund
4 The fixed percentage is 6. which is the real annual rate of total return on investment if the nominal rate is
10% and the rate of inflation is 4%
S If the actual rate of return or the actual rate of inflation differs adversely from the assumed rate, the amount
withdrawn can decrease, depending on the extent of the difference and the amount of natural resource
revenues deposited.
eversion to proposed system
• requires (1) the transfer of reserves to the fund, (2) temporarily, the same reduced spending
and increased conventional revenues that the coming ''fiscal gap" would require under the
existing system and (3 ) a higher but gradually reduced withdrawal percentage factor during a
transitional period
Advantages (in addition to stable economy)
• the Permanent Fund has a purpose (to avoid the consequences of unsustainable spending and to
perpetuate the wealth)
• appropriations are based on a known amount rather than an unreliable forecast
• the states assets are diversified ( natural resources and securities)
• the state's credit is reestablished
• public works projects are not crammed into periods of high revenues, with inadequate planning
and incomplete accounting
• the need for reserves is eliminated
• there is no deficit spending (because there are no reserves)
• long-range planning is feasible
• private capital is attracted by the stability of the economy
Obstacles to change
• `he legislatures reluctance to allow the people to vote on a constitutional amendment that would
-yoke its authority to spend natural resource revenues
• the misconception that the proposed system eliminates "dividends"
• a fear that the fund will be depleted if there is less investment return or more inflation than
anticipated or, during transition, there is a greater decrease in oil revenues than forecasted
• a fear that if great wealth results,
- the bureaucracy will expand
- the state will lose its incentive to develop natural resources
- Alaskans will become dependent, disinterested in government, lethargic and
immoral
Schedule
• spring, 1994 - legislature passes resolution proposing constitutional amendment
• fall, 1994 - people vote in favor of proposed constitutional amendment
• July l ,1995 - conversion to new system begins

Constitution
Article Ir Section 15 Alaska Permanent Fuod
isameQded bvsubstrtutiQg the fo11onag.
In order to avoid the consequences of unsustainable spending and to perpetuate the wealth,
the following are not subject to appropriation: revenues derived from the sale of natural
resources and from taxes 11) on natural resources produced or in reserve, (2) on property
used in exploration, production or transportation of natural resources and (3) on income
from production or transportation of natural resources, They are deposited into a fund
iAlaska Permanent Fund), which is invested in securities, generally for long-term capital
appreciation. Investments are made in accordance with the standard requiring that degree of
judgement and care which investors of prudence, discretion, intelligence and experience
exercise in the management of their affairs, not in regard to speculation but to permanent
disposition of funds, considering probable appreciation and income as well as probable safety
of capital. Earnings are reinvested. In each fiscal year, money is withdrawn from the fund in
an amount equal to six percent of the average of its market value at the end of the quarters
of the three preceding calendar years. The money withdrawn is appropriable.
A public corporation manages the fund. It has the same powers that a person has with
respect to property, and, as provided by law, its affairs are subject to audit and public
disclosure, Its expenses of operation are paid from the fund without an act of the legislatu,
Its investment and other policies, which can include delegation of investment authority to
independent managers, are made by a board of directors consisting of seven governor -
appointed residents, of whom four have terms of six years and three have terms of four
years. As and to the extent provided by law, directors are compensated, reimbursed their
expenses, immune from liability.and dischargeable for cause.
The percentage used to determine the amount of money withdrawn annually from the fund
is inapplicable initially. In fiscal 1996 the applicable percentage is f J. Then it decreases
geometrically until fiscal 2006, when it attains its permanent value.
All or the indicated portion (at market value) of the assets of the following are added to the
fund: Budget Reserve Fund; Railbelt Energy Fund; Alaska Housing Finance Corporation,
hundred million dollars; Permanent Fund Earnings Reserve Account; Budget Reserve Fund

Cremo plan deserves
Legislature's attention ,
The Soldoma City Council Wednesday night put in
a request to the state Legislature, but it was not
the usual request for money for roads or other
projects.
It was a request that the Legislature take a bold step
that would control and stabilize state spending.
The council urged the Legislature to place a constitu-
tional amendment on the next general election ballot that
would let the public vote on an alternative way of funding
state government known as the "Cremo Plan."
We applaud the council's action and hope other local
governments and citizens also get behind this idea.
The Cremo plan, put forward by Anchorage attorney
Roger Cremo, would take oil and other natural resource
income that comes to the state and put it into a fund that
is beyond the reach of the Legislature.
The revenues would be invested in securities. Money
for state government would be withdrawn each year in an
amount equal to part (perhaps 7 percent) of the value of
the fund.
That value would be an average of the fund's market
values at various times during a preceding period, so the
withdrawal amount wouldn't change abruptly, according
to Cresno's plan.
This alternative funding method would prevent the
windfall spending that occurs when oil revenues are high,
or certain past tax settlements come into state coffers.
And it would avoid the painful budget cuts that happen
when oil prices or productions drops.
Neither the booms, nor the busts, of the present system
are good for the state or for the local governments that de-
pend on funding from the state.
Former Kenai Mayor Vince O'Reilly, who urged the
council to adopt the resolution, summed up the problems
with the current system.
"We can't handle the spikes and valleys," he said.
"When the money is high, we end up with new programs
and new levels of funding for cities. When the money
gets tight, we end up with programs we can't afford, and
cities lose money they are used to having."
We voters berate legislators for not cutting state spend-
ing and not having more self-control when it comes to
spending. But we also berate them for not fixing our road
and not building our senior center and not funding our fa-
vorite program.
Tkus.altemative funding mechanism would provide the
needed discipline that both legislators and constituents
need to build a more stable future for our state.
We think most voters understand the current system isn't
working and would be willing to consider an alternative.
We hope the Legislature will listen to the city of Sol-
doma and provide the public with the opportunity to de-
bate and vote on this important issue.

De Forest reported that a local businessman had offered to fix the Library's Info-trak
machine and trade some Grolier program discs for the 286 IBM Clone. DeForest asked
for a written proposal including the selling price of the 286 and also the repair cost of the

7. OLD BUSINESS
a. Welcome New Student Board Member
The student member is Amy Price. She had been welcomed at the previous meeting.
b. Library Board of Trustees Update
Ed Meyer reported that the Board had met on Monday, November 1st. They discussed
the Clarion on computer program. They were excited about this program and were
anxious to get it on line. DeForest said she had ordered the Mac for the Clarion and also
a computer with the ARCO grant money.
The Board also discussed the "Friends of the Library" reception to be held next year in
conjunction with the 45th anniversary. A price range has been set for membership dues
and they would like to increase the general public's participation.
c. Computer Update for Clarion News
As reported under item 7 b. the computer has been ordered. After the computer arrives
a volunteer will be needed to download the Clarion information on a routine basis. This
process should take one to two hours, and should be done on a weekly basis.
d. Arco Grant Update
DeForest reported that she had spent the money. She ordered a computer and 6-10
discs which came with the package. She has ordered the Grollier package, thesaurus,
animal encyclopedia, and almanac, to date.
e. Other - None.
8. NEW BUSINESS
a. Commission/Board Meeting - Communication
Meyer reported the Board would like to meet with the Commission to work more closely
in accomplishing common goals. He said he would try to have the Board minutes
prepared for the next Commission meeting to keep members informed of Board actions.
The Commission asked if the minutes from the previous meeting could be sent with the
December packets. Chairman Heus said the two groups have met in the past and it is
a good idea to continue this on a regular basis.

c. Other - None
9. INFORMATION
a. Anchorage Times Article: Too Much Acrimony
From Tom Manninen, City Manager
Heus asked the Commission for comments about the article, there were none.
10. COMMISSIONERS COMMENTSjQUESTIONS
Mary Quesnel mentioned that her term would expire in January and she would like to be
replaced since it is difficult for her to drive at night.
Councilwoman Monfor asked for suggestions on how to get more citizens to participate
on Commissions and Boards?
Meyer said he knew nothing about the areas of service needed until he was appointed
to the Library Commission. He suggested that perhaps the Clarion could run a series of
articles on the various groups, including who they are and what they do. People would
be more willing to serve if they knew all the different opportunities there were.
Heus suggested this item be carried forward to the next agenda and the Commission
could come up with some recommendations to Council at that time.
Monfor also congratulated the Library Commission for being an exemplary commission.
Each year they set Goals and Objectives and seek to achieve these which is the way all
City groups should work.
11. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at approximately 8:15 p.m.
Trans ibed and respectfully submitted:

ITEM D: COMMISSION/COMMITTEE REPORTS
D-1. Council on Aging
Swarner reported she was asked by Director Porter to inform
Council the Center intends to contact our legislators to request
$50,000 in legislative appropriations to replace current vans
used to transport seniors to and from the Center, appointments,
etc. Swarner added the shop foreman has requested replacements
be found. Director Porter added it is not the intent of the
Senior Center to have this request listed as a part of the CIP
list. Porter added they do not wish to compete with the CIP
list.
Porter stated there are 45 applicants on the waiting list for
housing at the congregate housing.
Williams stated he has had discussions with Alaska Housing
Finance Corporation (AHFC) regarding low -interest loans which may
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
NOVEMBER 3, 1993
PAGE 4
be available for adding 20 units to the congregate housing
facility. The loan would have to be paid for by revenues
received from rents, etc.
Williams asked Finance Director Brown if the voters would have to
approve the City of Kenai going into a loan situation with AHFC,
or can it be through a housing authority fund. Brown stated he
would have to check with the attorney and manager first, but he
thought if a loan is approved and the City can get a lending
agency to agree that all payments will be paid by rents, he did
not believe it would have to go to a vote of the people. Brown
added if it is stated in the paperwork the City's tax base would
not be at risk, he did not believe a housing authority would have
to be formed -- it could be done on its own, as well as through
revenue bonding.
Williams stated the method he has discussed would be to loan
money to a private non-profit organization who would build the
housing. The low interest loan could be one to two percent
interest. Brown stated he does not know much about housing
authorities and could not comment.
Swarner asked Williams if he was suggesting income restricted.
Williams stated it is his understanding it is not. Williams
asked council if they were interested in doing something like
this and if more information should be received and investigated.
Smalley stated he believed it is worth investigating. Swarner
asked if there were any FAA requirements that would keep the City
from building an addition using a private, non-profit group.
Administrative Assistant Howard stated she does not know how much
more property is available by the existing facility.
Williams stated he would take the Council's comments as a signal
to investigate the possibility further.
Swarner informed Council Lynn Kocinski has resigned her position
at the Senior Center. There will be a lunch for Lynn on November
16, 1993.
D-2. Airport Commission
Councilman Measles reported the minutes of the last meeting were
included in the packet. The next meeting is scheduled for
November 18, 1993.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
NOVEMBER 3, 1993
PAGE 5
Williams reported he received a telephone call from Airport
Commissioner Toppa regarding the placement of Commissioner
Werner-Quade from the Airport Commission to the Planning & Zoning
Commission. Williams stated he assured Toppa Council's choice
was due only to the fact that Werner-Quade's application was
submitted first.
D-3. Harbor Commission
Councilman Bookey stated the next meeting was scheduled for
Monday, November 8, 1993. Bookey added there is a vacancy on the
Commission.
D-4. Library Commission
Councilwoman Monfor reported a meeting was held last night. The
Commission discussed other avenues to generate interest for
participation on commissions and committees. Monfor also stated
the Library's Open House is scheduled for December 21. The
Library will be closed November 25, 26, 27 and 28 for the
Thanksgiving holiday.
D-5. Parks & Recreation Commission
Councilman Bannock reported the minutes of the last meeting were
included in the packet. The Commission reviewed an offer from
Mr. Sturman to sell property (at a low price) to the City for a
park in the Section 36 area. Bannock reported the Commission
thanked Mr. Sturman for the offer and stated they did not believe
the City needed it as there is property on the east side of Cook
Inlet Drive available.
Bannock added the Commission discussed their goals and objectives
and prioritized them as well. Their first concern is tent
camping and second the Bernie Huss Fitness Trail clean-up and
fencing.
Monfor complimented the Commission for the goals and objectives.
Monfor stated she would like goals and objectives received from
the other Commissions and Committees soon after the first of the
year. Monfor added Council should then have a work session and
review and do their own prioritization.
Williams requested Ernst to find out from FAA what their
intentions are with the small green building situated at the Leif
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
NOVEMBER 3, 1993

Hansen Memorial Park. Williams suggested the building could have
a log facade and sod roof added and used for storing fertilizer,
etc.
D-6. Planning & Zoning Commission
Councilman Smalley reported the Commission minutes were included
in the packet. A variance permit was approved for the Keck's to
add a recreation room to their home. Commissioner Werner-Quade
was sworn in as well.
D-7. Miscellaneous Commissions and Committees
No reports.
ITEM E: MINUTES
E-1. Regular Meeting of October 20, 1993.
Approved by consent agenda.
ITEM F: CORRESPONDENCE
None.
ITEM G: OLD BUSINESS
G-1. Discussion - Certified Local Government Historic
Preservation Grant Funds.
Manninen referred to his memorandum included in the packet which
requested direction from Council as to what their priority is for
the grant application to the Department of Natural Resources.
Manninen added there is approximately $40,000 throughout the
state for FY94 CLG grants.
Williams stated the grant application could be used for
information to get other grants as well. Williams asked
administration to continue working on this. Manninen stated
administration needs Council's direction as to what their
priority is and for what to request funds.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
NOVEMBER 3, 1993
PAGE 7
Councilman Measles suggested No. 2 from the memorandum, i.e.
local historic preservation planning projects. There were no
objections.
G-2. Discussion - Second Well Drilling
Kornelis referred to the memorandum included in the packet and
stated the water samples were available for council to see.
Kornelis stated the new well was drilled to 3601. Water was
found, but not any clearer than what is coming from Wellhouse No.
2. Kornelis requested Council's direction as to where to drill
next, if that is what they wanted to do. Kornelis stated his
recommendation would be to drill next to Wellhouse No. 2.
Kornelis stated Wellhouse No. 1 has clean clear water, but if
more water was found there, there would still be a distribution
problem (tanks, pumps, etc.) and would be expensive to
accomplish. Kornelis stated if a well is drilled by Wellhouse
No. 2 and more water found, the well could be discontinued and
the existing tank and distribution pumps could be used. It would
be less expensive.
Discussion followed regarding the 1971 report which was included
in the packet. Williams suggested pumping the existing Test Well
No. 2. Swarner stated she would like Public Works to investigate
a well in the potential area on State land, find out what
requirements there would be to drilling there, i.e. leasing of
the land, etc. If Test Well No. 2 does not work out, the State
land is halfway between the test well and Wellhouse No. 2.
Swarner added she is willing to gamble money on another well
before building a filtration system.
Kornelis reported it is time for testing of both Wellhouse No. 1
and 2 (tests are to be done every three years). Kornelis
suggested no drilling take place until after the testing is
complete so that the tests are not affected. Williams suggested
setting the issue of drilling another well aside until after test
information is received on Wellhouse No. 2.
Smalley asked about money set aside to drill another well by
Wellhouse No. 2. Kornelis stated the previously approved $5,000
purchase order was not used. There is a new purchase order to
Kraxberger on the purchase orders over $1,000 list. Kornelis
stated he would like to either hold that purchase order or amend
it to pay for the drilling and testing of water at Wellhouse
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
NOVEMBER 3, 1993
PAGE 8
No. 2. Williams suggested it be a not -to -exceed amount of
$9,600. (Action on the amending of the purchase order was taken
at Item H-2.)
G-3. Discussion - Water & Sewer Service Lines - Grant
Place/Aspen/Beaver Loop.
This discussion is a follow-up from the October 20, 1993 council
meeting wherein the Slaughters requested the City to help them
find a way to hook into the city water and sewer service.
Williams referred to a memorandum included in the packet which
discussed the cost of putting sewer service to the Slaughter
property on Grant Place. Estimated cost for water and sewer
service to only the Slaughter residence was $20,000. Kornelis
had a map showing the location of the Slaughter residence
available for Council to review.
Mr. Slaughter spoke to Council. Slaughter stated he can place a
DEC approved septic tank on his property, but has no where on his
land to put it because of the proximity it would have to his
well. A new well would have to be drilled. A new septic system
would be within 80' of a manhole. Slaughter added he was advised
the cost would be approximately $20,000 for the city to hook him
into sewer service. Slaughter stated the work could be done for
$9,500 if the city did not have to do the work.
Williams (stating he did not want Administration to get upset)
suggested it would cost Slaughter to run a sewer line to his
property for approximately $3,000. Williams stated there are
bootlegged water and sewer lines in the community which are tied
into city lines. Williams suggested to allow Slaughter to put
the line in himself and use it for the next two to five years.
Williams added the City does not have funds available at this
time to put in water and sewer to this property. Williams
suggested to allow Slaughter to put in the line and put the
information on an inventory list for future work for the City to
do. Williams added the cost of putting in this line would be
totally Slaughter's cost.
Smalley asked Attorney Graves what kind of liability would be
created. Graves responded that the question would then be how
the City could say no to others if permission is given to
Slaughter to put in his own line. Graves added it is setting a
policy of allowing bootlegged lines.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
NOVEMBER 3, 1993
PAGE 9
Monfor stated she agreed with what had been said. Monfor added
the Slaughters have had the problem for a long time. The problem
could force the Slaughters out of their home. Bookey stated he
does not have a problem with it, but legally, the City should
make sure ADEC will approve. Bookey cautioned, the City does not
want to get into a situation with ADEC.
Williams stated he thought Graves could come up with a hold
harmless for the property owner to sign. Kornelis stated ADEC
requires any work done in a right-of-way must be designed by an
engineer. Williams stated that is what they are not going to do.
Kornelis stated he believed DEC would consider the line an
extension of the main line and DEC would require the line
designed and approved in order to give an operating permit.
Measles stated he believed it could be done without being
considered an extension of the main line. Slaughters want to
drop a service line into it. Kornelis stated the policy has been
that any time a line is in the right-of-way, the City requires
the main line go at least as far as the property does. Then
service lines come off of that. The property owner has certain
responsibilities for the service line to the main. Kornelis
again referred to Code requirements. The Code requirements are
there so there are not 20 service lines going down a street.
The history of the problem was discussed. Nancy Gourley stated
the Slaughters have talked three times to DEC and La Shot and
then they came to Council. It has been an exhausted effort.
Four contractors have told Slaughter to hook in himself during
the middle of the night.
Williams asked if an arrangement can be made with DEC in which
they, in this instance, would send the City a letter saying they
will approve a substandard or small service line for a single,
one-time use by a residence, could the City let him go ahead with
placing the service line. Kornelis stated he does not have a
problem if directed by Council and if DEC does not have a
problem, however, Slaughters will need to get a licensed and
bonded contractor.
Williams stated Slaughter should go to DEC and state it appears
the City may allow him to place the service if they approve it by
letter. Williams stated to Slaughter he would have to pay for
the cost. Williams added Slaughter must get a letter from DEC
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
NOVEMBER 3, 1993
PAGE 10
and bring it back to Council. Gourley asked about engineering
costs. Williams stated those would be Slaughter's costs.
Measles stated Slaughter does not have to bring it back to
Council. If Slaughter obtains the letter from DEC he could bring
it to Administration and the work can proceed.
Slaughter asked if he has all the equipment there to do the work,
can he run a water line also. Williams stated he would need to
get a bonded contractor and tap into it. Kornelis stated he
would have to tap into a stub out. Kornelis added there would be
service lines and they would be his (Slaughter's) responsibility.
Williams asked what to do if there are more residents that want
to do the same thing. Monfor stated those persons must deal with
the City Manager.
Gourley asked what if property owners between the Slaughters want
to hook in. Williams stated they would have to put in a service
line.
Summary of discussion was:
1. Work performed in the public right-of-way must be done by a
contractor licensed to work in the city right-of-way.
2. ADEC must write a letter giving their approval of running a
sewer service line down the right-of-way without requiring
an engineering design.
3. The Slaughters will be responsibility for maintaining the
service line from their trailer to the manhole on Third
Avenue.
4. The Slaughters must agree that should the City ever run a
main line on Grant Place, past their trailer, they will be
required to hook into the main and abandon the part of the
service line going down the right-of-way.
Williams introduced Representative Mike Navarre and
Assemblymember Tim Navarre who were in the audience.

H-3. Ordinance No. 1573-93 - Increasing Estimated Revenues
and Appropriations by $250,000 in the Water and Sewer
Fund for Spur Highway Water and Sewer Crossings.
Approved by consent agenda.
H-4. Discussion - Water & Sewer Crossing - Spur Urban - DOT
Redesign of Storm Sewer.
Williams referred to information included in the packet regarding
the DOT/PF's request for $5,000 to redesign the storm drain on
Swires Road. The State proposed storm drain and the City's
proposed sewer line conflict. If the storm drain alignment is
not redesigned, the city may have to eventually install a lift
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
NOVEMBER 3, 1993
PAGE 12
station due to a loss of approximately four feet of elevation.
Cost for the State to redesign the storm drain is about $5,000.
Ordinance No. 1573-93 will be at public hearing for the November
17, 1993 meeting. The $5,000 would be coming out of the $250,000
to be appropriated with Ordinance No. 1573-93.
Williams asked Representative Mike Navarre if it would be
possible to get 90/10 money (which is what is being used to do
the highway project) to assist the City for funding the crossings
since it is part of the overall highway system. Navarre stated
he did not know, however he thought he may be able to get the
possibility discussed.
Williams stated he was reluctant to appropriate City money if
funding can be obtained to fund the work. Williams added the
Legislature will not reimburse money appropriated by Council
after the work is completed. Williams added, if the
appropriation is made, the Water & Sewer Fund will be depleted
(see 10/17/93 Charles A. Brown memo attached to Ordinance No.
1573 and T. Manninen 10/29/93 memo attached to Item H-4).
Kornelis explained the dilemma is the $250,000 (if appropriated)
would not go into effect until November 17, 1993. The State
would like to start the redesign of the storm drain immediately.
Kornelis requested permission from Council to go ahead with the
redesign and to approve the expending of $5,000 to pay for the
redesign.
MOTION:
Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval to start the redesign of
the storm drain and the for Public Works to contact DOT/PF to
begin the redesign. Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion.
Kornelis stated when the City's completed design of the sewer
crossings and the State's design of the storm drains were
compared, they found this one intersects. Kornelis added it is
better to have the State redesign the storm drain because it will
be less costly.
Smalley stated his motion was to have the City Public Works
Department contact DOT/PF to start the redesign. Smalley stated
he did not mention money in the motion. Smalley stated it should
be for whatever the cost is.

H-6. Discussion - Sales Tax Policy
Councilwoman Monfor asked Finance Director Brown how he decides
if a vendor is current in sales tax, i.e. is the vendor current
after the fact or during the fact. If they have no sales tax
due, does that make the vendor current. Brown stated most
vendors pay sales tax quarterly. If they have not missed a
filing and do not need to file, they are considered current.
Monfor asked what the City's sales tax policy is. Brown stated
there is none. Brown added they do not check consistently.
There is no policy in regard to checking before approving
purchase orders. Brown added before Public Works awards a bid,
the contractor's sales tax must be current, also before cab
permit renewals are made.
Monfor asked if a vendor, who is not liked, is checked when
someone else would not be checked. Monfor added if one vendor is
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
NOVEMBER 3, 1993
PAGE 14
checked, then all should be checked. Brown stated they do not
check their sales tax to give them a bad time.
Swarner stated she would like to have the Finance Department
check sales tax if there is a purchase order over $1,000. Brown
stated there were three council meetings in which this was
discussed. Council asked if there could be a policy. Brown
stated he said checking the purchase orders over $1,000 would not
be burden. This was never adopted as a policy. Brown stated he
did discover some of the vendors were late and had not filed.
When that happened, the Department Head was told to get it
cleared up before the council meeting or the purchase order would
be pulled.
Swarner stated if the vendor is not paying the sales tax, he is
cheating the taxpayers and the city. Swarner added she realizes
it is a burden to check all the vendors, that is why she
suggested checking those over $1,000. Williams stated the
Borough is the enforcement and they have a big problem doing it.
Williams added he would hate to see the Finance Department bogged
down with checking sales tax on every purchase order. However,
agrees equity is needed. Williams added he was not sure the over
$1,000 is the equity.
MOTION:
Councilwoman Swarner MOVED that Administration come up with a
policy regarding purchase orders, vendors and sales tax. MOTION
DIED FOR LACK OF SECOND.
Monfor stated she does not disagree with Swarner in regard to the
responsibility of the vendor to pay his sales tax. However, she
feels very strongly that everyone should be treated the same.
Monfor added the biggest question is in regard to those small
businesses that pay 30 days after the fact. Will they be shut
out. Answer, no.
Williams stated to Assemblyman Navarre, the City's problem with
the taxicab drivers, owners, etc. paying sales tax and the
Borough's policy with regard to taxicabs. Smalley stated there
should be a way to tax the owner of the vehicle.
Monfor asked how do we know the vendor is current and will
everyone be treated the same.
No action was taken.

H-7. Discussion - Cremo Plan - A Request for a
Constitutional Amendment Related to the Alaska
Permanent Fund to be Placed on the Ballot for the Next
General Election.
Williams explained the Cremo Plan and stated he supports the
concept. Williams asked if Council would like a resolution of
support brought forward to the November 17, 1993 meeting.
Representative Navarre stated he has discussed the plan with Mr.
Cremo twice in two years. Navarre added the plan is fraught with
political land minds, however, he believes it has lots of merit.
Navarre stated the plan provides for a long-term economic base
for the state. Navarre added hard decisions need to be made.
The Cremo Plan has merit and it may be helpful to force some
discussion and decision making at the state level. If enough
people in enough cities provide direction by saying they want
something done, the Legislature will have to come up with
something.
Williams again stated he would like to bring a resolution forward
at the November 17, 1993 meeting. There were no objections from
Council.
ITEM I: ADMINISTRATION REPORTS
I-1. Mayor
1. Visioning Seminar - Williams reported on the two-day
seminar where 50 people participated. They discussed a Borough
plan to 2015. They discussed school growth, education, etc.
Williams added they are suggesting the creation of a mini -
permanent fund within the Borough. Williams requested Council to
give some consideration to this. Williams stated he would like
to support the idea.
2. Peninsula Caucus - Williams reported the annual meeting
was held. They discussed visioning, the Cremo Plan and all was
well received.
3. Hockey/Ice Rink - Williams referred to a memorandum
Council received from City Manager Manninen in regard to the ice
rink. Williams stated he was chagrined with it and that Manninen
did not request any cost information from him.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
NOVEMBER 3, 1993
PAGE 16
Williams passed out an updated cost information report. The cost
information include low, medium and high projections. Williams
reviewed the report with council. Williams stated whether
Council decides to build the facility or not cannot be decided
yet. Williams stated the town hall meeting (scheduled for
11/8/93) should go ahead and get public input. They can run the
numbers, and get the sentiment of the community. Williams added
credence cannot be put to figures from the City of Soldotna
because their ice rink does not resemble the proposed one for the
City of Kenai.
Nate Kiel - Introduced himself as the Ice Rink Task Force Chair.
Kiel referred to the information passed out by Williams. Kiel
encouraged council to attend the town hall meeting. Kiel offered
his assistance to answer questions or if more information is
needed, he will follow up with it. Kiel added he and the Task
Force have been working on this proposal for approximately three
years. Kiel stated the public will have to be educated as to
what the facility would be like and the difference between this
proposed facility and that of Soldotna's.
1-2. City Manager
1. Ice Rink - Manninen stated his memorandum served its
purpose. Manninen added he was glad the information Williams
distributed is out and hopes the information proves to be
accurate. Swarner thanked Manninen for his report because it
brought up interesting comments and thoughts. Swarner added
Manninen was doing his job and doing what the Council want him to
do.
I-3. Attorney
No report.
Manninen referred to information passed out to Council prior to
the meeting (it was not added to the agenda for discussion).
Manninen stated Ramos' request is to purchase the property. The
property is basically developed, but there was no plan submitted
although the ordinance requires a development plan. Manninen
asked Council if they wished to allow the sale or should the Code
be amended to allow the sale.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
NOVEMBER 3, 1993
PAGE 17
Williams asked if a development plan was required when the
property was first leased. Administrative Assistant Howard
stated no one knows. It was originally leased in the 1968-1970
period.
Brown added the ordinance states the property can only be
purchased if there is a development plan. Measles referred to
the Code and stated it to say, "where the lease sets forth a
development schedule." Measles stated the leasing rules now are
different from when the property was first leased. Measles added
the two-year clause in the Code does need to be cleared up. That
was the original intent of the ordinance.
Howard stated the portion, "where the lease sets forth a
development plan," was added in 1986. Brown stated the conflict
in the Code was raised by Vozar. Administration was following a
policy and believed they had the authority to do so. Brown
stated he advised Howard and Manninen on the Vozar question.
Brown stated Administration is caught now because in one part of
the Code it states to do one thing and another says another.
Brown added Ramos does not have a development schedule. Brown
stated Administration did not want to stick their necks out
again.
Williams suggested Council may want to have Administration
examine the issue and put something together that will be legal
and will be good for the City and not hinder development.
Measles stated it wouldn't if the City says it will lease the
property and in two years the developer can buy the property
without going to bid unless the property is not developed like it
was promised. Williams suggested Administration bring something
back to Council.
Monfor referred to Howard's memorandum. Monfor stated the City
has a people/bureaucracy problem and we cannot continue doing
this. Monfor added they need to "get our acts together" so the
public does not come to the city and get so frustrated.
MOTION:
Councilwoman Monfor MOVED to sell Lots 10 & 11, Aleyeska
Subdivision, Part 2 to Jose and Maria Ramos. Councilman Smalley
SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED.
Measles stated the reason the former ordinance was tabled was
because of the potential litigation and legal action. Measles

added it was not time to amend the ordinance. Graves was asked
his opinion of clearing up the ordinance at this time. Graves
stated there is still a chance the City will be sued by Vozar.
Graves added he does not see anything wrong with changing or
amending the policy at this time. In the Vozar matter,
Administration did what was appropriate under the old ordinance.
MOTION:
Councilman Smalley MOVED to amend the ordinance and Councilwoman
Monfor SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO
ORDERED.
I-4. City Clerk
1. Courthouse Dedication - Reminded Council of the
dedication at 5:00 p.m., November 9, 1993.

3. CIP Brochure - Reported he took pictures of different
buildings in the City. Would like Council's input as to what
they would like to have on the brochure. Pictures were available
for Council to review. Smalley stated he thought Monfor should
choose. Monfor chose a courthouse picture for the front and have
the Congregate Housing picture for the inside.

requirement. The purpose is to test the city and borough -wide
response to a disaster. The National Guard will also be
involved, as well as volunteer victims, etc.
MOTION:

Our thanks to you and the city of Kenai for the generous donation of the van ambulance to
our service. Our service could not have afforded an used ambulance, especially one that
has been taken care of so well, and yet we have arrived at the point where one would
benefit all involved.
Although this vehicle had outlived its usefulness to your area, it will be fully utilized for us
and will benefit our patients and responders more than you can ever know. No longer will
our patients and volunteer responders be waiting in inclement weather for an ambulance to
arrive from another community or service. We can begin a higher level of care sooner
with a controlled environment in which to deal with the patients and our responders will
no longer be putting themselves at risk attempting to stay warm when providing service.
Thank you for contributing to the welfare of the our patients and volunteers.
Sincerely;
Valerie DeFrance

FROM: Kim Howard, Administrative Assistant
DATE: November 10, 1993
FOR: November 17, 1993 Meeting
RE: Homer Electric Request to Purchase
Please review the attached letter and map from Homer Electric
Association and make a determination as to whether the parcel is
needed for public purpose. The property description is the
southern 4.7 acre portion of Tract B, Baron Park Subdivision No. 5.
The City received title to this property from the Federal Aviation
Administration in 1964. The Quitclaim Deed restricted the property
to lease for aviation purposes only. In 1986, the City requested
a deed of release for the sale of Lot 1, Tract B and Tract C, Baron
Park Subdivision No. 5. A deed of release for sale was received
for Lot 1, but the release for sale of Tracts B and C were never
finalized. The City Administration is now working with the FAA to
finalize the release for sale for Tracts B and C.
KMC 22.05.010 states, "Disposal or sale of lands shall be made only
when, in the judgment of the City Council, such lands are not
required for public purpose."
At the November 10
Commission recommended
Tract B, Baron Park
providing a deed of re.
meeting, the Kenai Planning and zoning
selling the southern 4.7 acre portion of
Subdivision No. 5, by competitive bid,
Lease is obtained from the FAA.
If Ordinance 1576-93 is approved by the Council, the property will
be subdivided, an appraisal will be ordered and the property will
be sold by competitive bid. If Homer Electric Association is not
the high bidder, the Code allows for the applicant (Homer Electric
Association) to meet the high bid.

Kenai, AK 99611-7794
Dear Ms. Howard:
RE: Purchase of City Property
Homer Electric Association has determined, by means of a recently
completed Long Range Transmission and Distribution Plan, that a new
electrical substation must be built in the City of Kenai to replace
obsolete facilities which are being retired from service. We have
studied the situation and concluded that this new substation should
not be built on any existing property owned by Homer Electric
Association due to size or access limitations. However, these
studies also indicate that the southern 4.7 acre portion of Tract
B, Baron Park Subdivision No. 5 (which is presently owned by the
City of Kenai) would be particularly well suited for this purpose.
Therefore please consider this letter an official application to
purchase the subject property as shown on the enclosed plat. I
understand that a $3, 000 good faith deposit is required to initiate
the purchase process and have enclosed a check in that amount. I
also understand that if we perform the subdivision survey, this
deposit will be refunded or applied to the purchase price of the
property. I further understand that our proposal will be reviewed
by your Planning and Zoning Commission who will determine if the
sale is appropriate and if so, will authorize sale under the
competitive bid procedure. If a higher than fair market value bid
is received, the Association shall have the option of meeting that
bid to secure the property.
The acceptance of Homer Electric's offer to purchase and a firm
price agreed to will be subject -o approval by the Homer Electric
Association Board of Directors.

FROM: Kim Howard, Administrative Assistant
DATE. November 10, 1993
FOR: November 17, 1993 City Council Meeting
RE: Security Assignment of Lease -

The Kenai City Council approved an Assignment of Lease from Phillip
Evans to M.J. Grimm and R.J. Johnson at their October 20, 1993
meeting. The parties have now requested a Security Assignment of

Dear Sister City Participant:
INTERNATIONAL
Honorary Chairman —The President of the United Star
SCI plans to pursue a grant from the United States
information Agency to support media development in the NIS. The
project would involve six to eight week U.S.-based internships
for a small team of media professionals (six to ten) from the
NIS, including print and TV journalists, managers, and university
journalism professors. The project would also include the
development of training materials in NIS languages for the NIS
participants to use upon their return to the NIS, as well as a
follow-up visit by U.S. participants to the NIS.
The proposed grant would include funding for transportation
costs, per diem expenses, and book and cultural allowances.
Participating U.S. cities would be responsible for hosting the
journalists and for arranging internships with the appropriate
businesses and organizations.
If SCI receives a grant to conduct this project, would you
be interested in participating?
YES NO
We are also exploring possibilities for materials on
journalism to be translated into NIS languages as part of this
project. Do you have any suggestions based on your own
experience?
we are considering applying for a grant to set up e-mail
linkages for our U.S.-NIS sister cities. Would you be
interested? YES NO
Additional comments?
Please respond as soon as possible.

Cathy Reynolds
Barbara Sheen Todd
Todd, Reynolds Share National Perspectives in Conference Appearances
Cathy Reynolds, of Denver, Colorado, and Barbara Sheen
Todd, of Pinellas County, Florida, have several things in
common -- among them their dedication to public service,
their involvement in national organizations serving local gov-
ernmentsand their citizens, and their commitment to working
against the growing number of unfunded mandates that cost
so much at the local level.
Reynolds, who will addressthe opening luncheon of AML's
43rd Annual Local Government Conference, has served as a
Council Member at Large on the Denver City Council since
1975. In 1987, she was President of the National League of
Cities (NLC), and she has served both NLC and the Colorado
Municipal League as an officer and board member. She is
coming to the AML Conference to help focus Alaskans'
attention on the issue of unfunded federal and state mandates
as part of the national campaign being waged by NLC, the
National Association of Counties (NACo), and other municipal
organizations.
One elementof the anti -unfunded mandates campaign was
declaration of October 27 as National Unfunded Mandates
Day, and on thatday, as on many others, Barbara Sheen Todd,
Presidentof the NACO, was active on the front lines of fighting
the negative effects these mandates have on local govern-
ments and their citizens. Todd was scheduled to appear on the
"Today" show, hold press conferences, and help spread the
word that pushing responsibility downward, without provid-
ing adequate funding to undertake requiredtasks, was hurting
the ability of counties and cities to serve their citizens ad-
equately.
Todd, who will be in the Kenai/Soldotna area throughout
AML's conference, will share her perspective on unfunded
mandates as well as information on NACO's use of teleconfer-
encing for nationwide forums and other initiatives currently
underway in counties and county organizations across the
country. She will participate in the Taxation and Finance
Policy Section and in the workshop on technological advances
and address the general membership during the Annual
Meeting.
Todd has served on the Pinellas County Commission since
1980, on a wide varietyof state -level commissions and NACO
task forces, and on the boards of both the Florida Association
of Counties and the Florida League of Cities.
AML is a member of both the National League of Cities and
the National Association of Counties, and its affiliation with
these organizations provides an important link to national
initiatives on behalf of city and county -level government as
well as information about federal legislative, administrative,
and regulatory actions that affect local governments. Confer-
ence delegates are encouraged to make use of the excellent
opportunity the visits of Reynolds and Todd givetogetto know
these individuals better and togain more ofa national perspec-
tive on the common issues affecting U.S. local governments.

Search for Wetlands Solution Continues;
Municipal Interests Represented at Hearings
On August 24, 1993, President Clinton proposed a compre-
hensive package of changes in the federal wetlands program,
which is administered under Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act The President's package drew specific attention to Alaska
by expressi ng i ntent to withd raw the Alaska 1 % ru le adopted by
the Bush administration. The 1 % rule would not have restricted
development until 1 % of the State's wetlands had been devel-
oped.
Al Ewing, Assistant Regional Administrator for EPA, will dis-
cuss the Clinton wetlands initiative and his agency's response to
it during the Land Use policy section at the AML Local Govern-
ment Conference on Wednesday, November 10.
The Clinton proposal called for the EPA and the Corps of
Engineers to meet with a variety of interested groups and
individuals to identify specific areas where questions about
program policies or implementation have been raised and to
"consider other environmentally appropriate means to assure
regulatory flexibility and the feasibility of alternative permitting
procedures in Alaska."
This process began in late October when the two agencies
held hearings in four areas of the state -- Juneau, Bethel,
Fairbanks, and Anchorage. Various interest groups ("stakehold-
ers") were asked to participate in the two-day sessions, which
were intended to "identify legitimate concerns with Section 404
and develop solutions...."
AML was asked to nominate representatives to participate in
each area as representatives of municipalities. Jan Caulfield, of
the City and Borough of Juneau Community Development
Department; William J. Hunter, Manager of the City of Bethel;
PatSmith of the Engineering Department, Cityof Fairbanks, and
Paula Easley, Director of Intergovernmental Relations for the
Municipality of Anchorage, participated.
The EPA and Corps of Engineers are also accepting written
comments on the issue postmarked through November 10.
Comments should besenttoAlaska Initiative, EPA, Region
Alaska Operations Office, Room 537, Federal Building,.
W. Seventh Avenue, Anchorage, Alaska 99513-7588. Mu-
n icipalities who respond are asked to provideAML with a copy
of their comments.
According to EPA's AI Ewing, a list of all problems identified
in the regional sessions and of solutions proposed by the
interested groups and the public will be available by Novem-
ber 17. Draft discussions on each issue will be prepared and
available by December 17. Ina letter to DEC Commissioner
John Sandor, Ewing said that a second round of public
commentwould begin when the draft papers were completed
and run throughout most of January. The focus of this
comment period will be the draft issue papers. Ewingalsosaid
that audio or written transcripts of each of the first -round
hearings will be available by mid -November.
In January, followup meetings will be held in each region
Q uneau - January4, Bethel -January 6, Fairbanks -January 11,
and Anchorage -January 13). These meetings will involve the
same interest group representatives and are also open to the
public. At these meetings, EPA and the Corps will share and
explain their tentative findings and ask for feedback from the
group. Based on these discussions, if all goes accordingto plan
final draft papers from Alaska will be sent to the federal level
at the end of January and a final recommendation report will
be distributed the end of February.
If you have any questions on this processor what is plar A
by the agencies, please write to Ewing at the address ab
You can also call Ewing at 2 71-5083 or Bob Oja of the Corps
of Engineers at 753-2712.

AML Adds Member Service Program
WIL has added a new service pro-
gram -- a League -sponsored Deferred
Compensation Program (under Section
457 of the Internal Revenue Code).
The program, which will be available to
the employees of any municipality in
the state, will be marketed and serviced
by Phil A. Younker&Assoc. of Fairbanks.
AML entered into an agreement to
sponsor the program in Alaska with
Public Employees Benefits Service Cor-
poration (PEBSCO) and NACO Services,
a subsidiary of the National Association
of Counties (NACO). The League's
interest in providing a deferred com-
pensation program grew out of the sur-
vey of League members conducted last
year by Younker, which indicated that
many members were interested in a
deferred compensation program and
thatseveral of those who currently have
a program would liketo look atalterna-
tive plans if they offered better benefits.
After examining several alternatives,
the Board determined thatthe best plan
ing offered to municipalities today is
..ACO's plan. Over 160,000 public
employees from 2,000 municipalities
across the nation take advantage of this
exclusive offering, which is adminis-
tered by PEBSCO. The Board chose the
NACo plan because if ranked first in
each of six areas -- stability, service,
investment choices, reporting, market-
ing, and cost.
Stability: NACo has been in the
deferred compensation program since
1980 and has contracted with PEBSCO
for all administrative services. PEBSCO
is the largest third party administrator of
deferred compensation plans in the nation
currently providing service to over 4,000
municipalities and seven state plans.
Service: Service will be provided through
PEBSCO and its state representative, Phil
A. Younker&Assoc. Theywillprovidefull
administration, plan documents, toll -free
I i nes to both PEBSCO and You n ker's office
in Fairbanks. Phil A. Younker, Sr. and Phil
A. Younker, Jr., are both registered finan-
cial planners. They will visit municipali-
ties, be available on teleconference, and
provide retirement planning services to
individual employees.
Investment Choices: The AML plan
will offer a wide variety of investment
choices. The plan offers both a fixed-rate
accountwith Nationwide Insurance Co. (a
AAA -rated company) and a selection of
mutual funds. Participants in the AML-
sponsored plan will be able to move their
investments from fund to fund to meet
their individual investment goals. In addi-
tion, employees can chooseto put upto 25
percent of their deferral in a life insurance
plan.
Reporting: PEBSCO will provide pro-
viding complete reporting to both the
employerand theemployee on a quarterly
basis, and information on participant bal-
ances will be readily available by phone.
Marketing: Marketingwill be provided
by PEBSCO through Phil A. Younker &
Assoc., a Fairbanks firm. Phil Younker, Sr.,
is a former municipal official and president
of AML and is familiar with communities
throughout the state. After the kickoff of
the program at this year's Local Govern-
ment Conference, marketing of the AML
Deferred Compensation program will be-
gin with visits to the larger municipalities
to meetwith the administration. Assum-
ing the plan is acceptable to the admin-
istration, workshops on deferred com-
pensation and retirement planning will
be offered to all employees atthe conve-
nienceof the employer. Smallermunick
palities will be contacted by phone, and
a videotape explaining the program will
be provided for employees to view.
PEBSCOwill provide toll -free phone ser-
vice.
Cost: The AML Deferred Compensa-
tion plan, both the fixed account and
mutual funds options, will have no front
end sales fees, no deferred sales charges,
and no administrative charges. The nor-
mal fees and charges on the mutual funds
available to plan participants have been
waived for participants in the PEBSCO
program. The only fee is the Asset Fee,
which is a daily deduction equal to 0.95
percent per year. This program allows
local government employees the free-
dom to move or to withdraw their funds
at termination or for emergency with-
drawals without a cost or penalty.
The AML-sponsored Deferred Com-
pensation plan allows local governments
a chance to provide their employees
with one of the finest deferred compen-
sation plans available today, and at no
cost to the municipality.

Good loss years for the pool
have left the Alaska Munici-
pal League joint Insurance
Association with "surplus"
funds, a portion of which the
Board of Trustees is consider-
ing using to buy a building in
Anchorage.
The building would house the
AML/ lIA offices, and be an
investment for the organiza-
tion, said Joe Evans, Chair of
the Property Acquisition
Committee for the AML/JIA
Board of Trustees.
Evans, an Anchorage attor-
ney,said he has been directed
by the board to thoroughly
examine the possibility of
buying a building.
"We're approaching it slowly
and carefully to make sure we
do it in a prudent fashion. We
have set no deadline for this,"
said Evans.
"The board has directed me
to, if need be, spend a year be-
fore we decide to do this or
not do this. We're looking for
the right investment for our
members."
Evans said the board has pro-
posed spending between
S750,000 and $1 million on the
purchase, which is between 15
and 18 percent of the AML/
JIA's available reserves. The
combination of surplus and
reserves are currently in-
vested in low-vield treasury
bonds and other government
type investments. The
present interest rates are poor
for these type of investments,
said Evans.
"Consequently, the thought
was to look at diversifving the
JIA's investment portfolio in a
conservative fashion, so we
weren't putting more than a
fairly limited amount of our
surplus funds into real es-
tate," he said.
"it may be possible to see a
net return on investment with
real estate of between 10 and
12 percent on real estate in-
vestments ... which is frankly
much better than we're doing
with our funds right now."
The board also appointed Niel

The Soldotna Story: How Loss Control Can Put
Money Back in Your Budget
When you have a municipal
maintenance staff of 16, it ma\
be easy to put safety training
at the bottom of the list. But
Gear• Gannon, maintenance
superyisor for the City of
Soldoma, has put it near the
top, with the support of City
Administrator Rich
Underkofler.
And it has paid off
Losses for Soldoma have
more than halved, on average.
since 1988, the last year the
city insured with a commer-
cial carrier, said Underkofler.
With assistance from the
Alaska Municipal League
joint Insurance Association,
Soldotna now has one of the
best safety records of anv
member of the association.
Rich L nderkorlec Citv Manager, Cit.
of Soioorna. talks about the success
the Solootna loss control program
In fact, in each year of its
membership, the municipality
has received a Loss Control
Award for having losses that
totaled less than 25 percent of
its premitmt/deposit.
Gannon is proud of the city's
record. He said he has re-
ceived compliments from in-
spectors sent by the Division
of Occupational Safety and
Health.
"If there's something we don't
comply with, it's because we
didn't have the knowledge. If
they point it out to us, we
comply immediately. Not the
next dav, but immediately,"
he said. Gannon offers be-
tween eight and ten training
sessions each vear on safety
for his workers. The city has
also formed a safetv council of
emplovees, who
review accidents
and look for pos-
sible problems.
Underkofler said
the kev to a suc-
cessful loss control
program has been
doing it "from the
inside."
"An organization
doesn't have any
ownership in it
unless they do these things
vourself," he said.
For example, Soldotna is now
writing a safety manual.
"We're doing it a chapter at a
time, topic by topic. It's writ-
ten and reviewed by the em-
ployees themselves."
"One of the reasons we
organized the AA was to
provide loss control
services, and that sets this
organization apart from
traditional insurance
companies.
Underkofler said he would
recommend to any municipal-
ity interested in improving
loss control to follow
Soldoma's lead — work from
within the organization, with
professional help as needed
from outside.
"One of the reasons we orga-
nized the JIA was to provide
loss control services, and that
sets this organization apart
from traditional insurance
companies. That's how you
cut your costs, just preventing
accidents," he said.
The other tip Underkofler has
is that the support for the pro-
gram should come from the
top, whether it's the city man-
ager or mayor.
KAHN TALKS ABOUT RISK MANAGEMENT
The three biggest liability
risk areas facing municipali-
ties in Alaska and elsewhere
are streets and roads, action
by police, and emplovee
claims, says an expert on risk
management.
Steve Kahn has spent the
past 17 years in the field of
risk management and is a
principal in the firm of
AR (Tech, a firm that spe-
cializes in providing risk
management and actuarial
sen ices to corporations and
governmental entities nation-
wide.
Based in Lake Forest, Calit..
Kahn has worked extensivei%
in Alaska, providing risk
management advice to the
Cih of Bethel, Citv of
Kodiak. Fairbanks North Star
Borough and the ON and
Borough of Juneau, among
others.
Kahn will talk about risk
management at the annual
meeting of the Alaska Mu-
nicipal League Joint Insur-
ance Association. He will give
a presentation on basic risk
management. focusing on in-
demnification clauses in con-
tracts and on how to quickly
read and understand insur-
ance policies.
"These policies can be very
lengthv, but with a few basic
rules it's much easier to
clearly understand them,"
says Kahn.
Kahn says he and his firm of-
fer advice to organizations on
how thev can best avoid
claims. This advice may be
based on actual experience of
the organization — a study of
past claims may indicate a par-
ticular problem with roads and
sidewalks, for example.
It may also be based on na-
tional trends in litigation.
For example, says Kahn, there
are increasing employee suits
rising from such issues as un-
fair dismissal and sexual ha-
rassment. It's important that
employers are aware of these
trends, so thev can work to
avoid them.
And finally, each individual
municipality may have a poten-
tial liability that is not vet rec-
ognized,says Kahn.
"A town's sewage treatment
plant may represent a liabilih_
but not have any past claims
upon it, so it is difficult for the
town to judge future potential
"If the chief administrative of-
ficer is leading the charge, then
it's more effective," he said.
AML/JIA offers a loss control
program because, as a mem-
bership -only program, any
loss control benefits all the
members, said Nancy
Cannington, administrator for
the Citv of Unalakleet and
AML/JIA's Loss Control Sub-
committee Chair.
"Historically, it's shown that
loss control will cut insurance
costs in the long term," she
said.
AML/JIA regularly sends
staff to its member communi-
ties to assess possible prob-
lems and suggest corrections.
Kevin Smith, Risk Control
Manager, visits member mu-
nicipalities. While there, he
goes through municipal
buildings, walks the side-
walks and drives the streets.
"The best wav to cut losses is
to take a look at the whole
picture, and that's what Kevin
tries to do when he goes out,"
said Cannington.
"There's just so much he can
look at when he goes into a
community. Problems range
from confined space entry to
animal control," she said.
losses based on past experi-
ence," he says.
Kahn says that while his
firm can assist AML/JIA
members in identifying
problems, the AML/JIA's
staff works with members to
help prevent losses.
"The AML/JIA's approach
to risk management, which
is increasing awareness of
the problems and continuing
education, is the best ap-
proach," says Kahn. "It's es-
pecially important that on-
going training is available
because of the small number
of staff in manv Alaska com-
munities, and the tum-over
rate."
Deadline Extended for Landfills,
But Not for USTs
The federal and state govern-
ments have extended dead-
lines for municipalities con-
cerned about financial compli-
ance for landfills, but have
not, as hoped, extended a
similar deadline for storage
tank owners.
Under the federal regulations,
most municipalities and other
storage tank owners have
only until December of this
year in which to prove they
have the resources to deal
with possible storage tank It -
ability.
The financial responsibility
requirements are phased in
for all tank owners, according
to the type of owner and the
number of tanks owned. Most
tank owners will be required
to demonstrate S1 million of
financial responsibility per oc-
currence and $2 million ag-
gregate.
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) will grant ex-
emptions to tank owners who
are petroleum marketers,
demonstrate profits on gaso-
line of less than
$15,000 annually and
meet the federal defi-
nition of "rural."
Failure to be able to
provide this coverage
after Dec. 31 could
result in daily fines of
up to $10,000.
For more informa-
tion, contact Dave
Belvea with the Ju-
neau office of the De-
partment of Environ-
mental Conservation (DEC) at
465-5203, or John Barnett with
the Board of Storage Tank As-
sistance at 465-5219.
On a happier note for most
municipalities, the deadline
for showing financial respon-
sibility for most landfills has
been extended to 2004.
Exempted are Anchorage,
Fairbanks, Juneau, Ketchikan,
Kodiak, Mat -Su Borough and
Kenai Borough. These govern-
ments will have to meet the
original April 1995 deadline
for showing financial compli-
ance.
What is "Surplus?"
The AML/JIA has funds set
aside for covering losses,
called "reserves," and funds
that are no longer needed to
pay for losses, that are
called "surplus." Presenth,
these funds are invested in
low vield government
bonds and notes. To date,
AML/JIA surplus is about
51.9 million. It is this
monev that may be used to
eliminate rental costs to the
AML/JIA, and generate
rental income from others.
Even though it is called sur-
plus, these unallocated
funds are not really extra, or
unnecessarv. The funds are
acquired through good loss
experience of the pool, and
belongs to the pool mem-
bers.
Once all the claims have
been settled for prior years
(just no%v possible for FY89),
the funds could be returned
to the membership. But
there are other uses for this
savings account too. These
funds can be used later, in
bad years, to prevent asking
members for additional
funds to cover losses. By
having more funds in the
bank, the pool can also offset
costs associated with in-
creased reinsurance premi-
ums, thereby stabilizing
costs to municipalities over
the long term, instead of fall-
ing victim to the cyclical na-
ture of the traditional insur-
ance market.
The deadline for showing financial responsibility for most landfills has been
extended to 2004.
Under the new regulations,
landfill owners will have to
show thev have sufficient re-
serves to cover the cost of
closing the landfill at any
time, provide 30 years of
monitoring following closure
and make some minimum re-
pair to the closed landfill as
needed.
Glenn Miller, manager of the
solid waste program for DEC,
said there are several ways
landfill owners may show fi-
nancial assurance. These in-
clude a trust fund, surety
bond guarantee, letter of
credit, insurance, corporate
financial test, a corporate
guarantee or state -approved
mechanism.
In addition, the EPA has yet
to publish a test that, if
passed, could allow a local
government to indicate its
normal reserves would cover
the possible liability.

the same time leasing a por- Chair, and the AML Executive
lion of the building to tenants. Director) will look it over.
"We're paving out a lot of
monev in rent, which is just
going down the tubes," said
Steve Wells, Director of Risk
Management for AML/JIA.
"Buying a building will actu-
ally generate funds."
Currenth., AML/JIA is spend-
ing $12,000 anually to lease
office space in Anchorage.
The procedures for locating
and purchasing a building
were identified by the board
as follows.
1. The Property Acquisition
Committee, staff, and the
realtor will look at potential
properties which meet the
board's specified guidelines
with respect to cost, sue and
location.
3. If the propertv meets with
the Executive Committee's
approval, they will authorize
staff to begin efforts to pur-
chase the building, including
offers, deposits, and agree-
ments. All offers are still sub-
ject to full board approval.
4. A special board meeting
would be convened, perhaps
by teleconference, to discuss
and vote on the matter.
5. Funds would come from
prior years' surplus. Two-
thirds of the cost is targeted
from FY90, with the final third
coming trom FY91.
AML/JIA members who want
to discuss this issue further
should contact Steve Wells at
the Anchorage office at

Leo Rasmussen
Leo Rasmussen was on the
Alaska :Municipal League
Board of Directors when a
joint insurance organization
was just a gleam in the
board's eve, so to speak.
A decade later, he has been
named to the AML's Joint In-
surance Association Board of
Trustees. Rasmussen serves in
that position as one of two
AML board members ap-
pointed to the JIA board.
As a former tour -term mayor
of Nome, volunteer firefighter
and small business owner,
Rasmussen is very familiar
with the problem of finding
adequate insurance.
In Nome, as in manv munici-
palities, the city council is
struggling with increased
health insurance, for example

"It's been a real pain for most t
municipal governments be- t
cause of the ups and downs in
the industrv," he said.
As vice president and then
president of the AML in the
earIv 1980s, he liked the idea
of offering insurance coverage
to members.
"The league had been nothing
but a lobbvist... I knew it had
to offer something more," he
said.
While Rasmussen is pleased
with the current progress of
the AML/JIA, he said he is
interested in increasing ser-
vices as membership grows.
"I don't think the scope of
what we can do has vet been
expanded to its fullest. We're
doing probably at this time
close to as much as we can do

AML/JIA Offers Training Assistance to Members
The town of Thome Bav em-
plovs seven people full-time
and three or tour people part-
time. Flying someone in to
teach on-the-job safety to the
tinv staff at this Southeast log-
ging community doesn't
make economic or practical
sense. But putting a few vid-
eotapes on the plane to the is-
land does.
"It is the cheapest and easiest
wav to get training here in the
outliving communities," said
Harnett Edwards, Thome Bav
city clerk. "You don't have
enough people to warrant
bringing someone from out-
side."
The videos viewed by Thome
Bav employees are from a
huge library of safety videos
available through the Alaska
Municipal League Joint Insur-
ance association (AML/JIA).
The bulk of the association's
videotapes come from two
sources — the National Re-
source Safety Center, and the
Wescott Communications
Group. The National Re-
source Safety Center main-
tains an enormous library of
satety videos designed to
meet OSHA standards for

ment. The Wescott group

The AML/JIA spends thou-

WARREN LARSON MEMORIAL TEST SITE
Report of 1993 Activities`s 6-AiA
The Warren Larson Memorial Test Site had considerable activity uring
Evaluation of previously established materials and plantings:
Kathy Wright of the Alaska Division of Agriculture, Plant Materials
Center, visited the site to evaluate P.M.C. plantings and do routine pruning of
woody materials. Operations to be done during the summer were reviewed.
Turf trials that have been established in the past were evaluated for
winter hardiness and evaluations of those trials were evaluated throughout the
summer. Bent grass varieties did not survive the 1992-93 winter and several
species and varieties were damaged. Well fertilized, Alaska developed, fascues
and bluegrasses were generally the best performers.
Production of each berry variety (currants, service berry, blue berry)
were recorded and given to the P.M.C. for comparison with results in other areas
of the state.
A planned management procedure for the P.M.C.'s berry planting was
developed. The blueberries and currants were divided into three types of
fertilized applications. Commercial chemical fertilizer, compost and organic
fertilizer from the Seward plant. Observation and production results are planned
for 1994.
Kathy Wright of the P.M.C. was at the sight in September to evaluate the
plantings' progress for this season. Height measurements of tree and shrub
growth during the past year were taken and five varieties of currants (25 plants)
were added to the plantings.
Annual test plantings were carried out.
• Evaluation of 10 potato varieties in a cooperative statewide potato
variety test with Dr. Don Carling of the Agriculture and Forestry
Experiment Station at Palmer were carried out. Duplicate potato variety
trials were done using organic fertilizer (white cod bone meal) from
Meehan By -Products, Inc. in Seward on one trial and conventional chemical
fertilizer on the other. Harvest reports are not complete as yet but will
be published in the annual Cooperative Extension Service Demonstration
and Research Report. The preliminary results indicated higher production
using the organic fertilizer.
• A small evaluation of using infrared transmitting ORT) plastic mulch
and perforated row covers for growing vegetables was set up in conjunction
with using a drip irrigation system. The procedure appears to give plants
a significant advantage but the project as set up was unable to withstand
the winds that frequent the site. A revised version is being suggested for
another year.
• The use of sulfur to lower pH and prevent potato scab.
The potato trial plot had some potato scab this year. Sulfur obtained from
the Tesoro refinery (a waste product derived from the refining process)
was applied to the potato plot area. A rate of 4.5* per 100 square feet was
applied in an effort to lower the pH about 1.5 points thereby reducing the
potential for scab on potatoes. it will probably take two seasons to see any
significant results.
COMMUNITY GARDENS:
The number of community garden plots were increased from 24 in 1992 to
28 in 1993. Most gardeners did an excellent job but some did not do so well. All
gardeners are not created equal. For those that watered carefully it was a good
year but plants that had to depend on mother nature for water had it tough.
OTHER TEST SITE ACTIVITIES:
We were fortunate in having a volunteer, Kathy Wahl, about 8 hours d
week and help from Ole Andersson and Cheryl Wickstrom for a few hours away
from their regular Integrated Pest Management program activities. This extra
help made possible reasonable care of the facilities plus the establishment of a
compost system designed to make a positive use of grass clippings and plant
materials.
We were able to put an addition on the storage shed and acquire a gas
powered weed whacker to assist with maintenance.
An open house was held on August 23. Most gardeners spruced up their
plots and came to visit with each other, some nursery folks attended and a few
from the public. Those that came seemed pleased with the operation.
A place was tilled for the City of Kenai Beautification Committee to plant
perennials for use in their beautification project and some plant materials were
furnished for their program.
The City of Kenai put up a new sign designating the site as the "Warren
Larson Memorial Test Site" and gardener volunteers took care of the plantings at
its base.
The test site is a good community activity. The facility provides an
opportunity for many more things to be drive. The limitations are largely the
time for labor and guidance that can be applied to its operation.
it has been a pleasure working with the project this year. A permanent
agent, Dan Lucas, will be starting on November 15 so I will return to retirement
status in Palmer.

Thank you for forwarding to me the resolution passed by
the City of Kenai emphasizing the burden imposed on American
communities by unfunded federal mandates.
I could not agree with your concerns more, and I have
been a consistent supporter of efforts here in Washington to
make Congress and the federal government pay for what they
force upon local communities. Unfortunately, it seems to me
that this Congress is simply more concerned with passing new
laws than it is in paying for them.
Recently, a group of freshman Senators led by Judd
Gregg of New Hampshire, Dirk Kempthorne of Idaho, and Paul
Coverdell of Georgia have seized upon this issue and
determined to force fiscal accountability upon the Congress.
I am pleased to be a strong supporter of their efforts.
Thank you again for bringing this critical issue to my
attention.

Dear John:
Thank you for sending me a copy of the resolution passed by
the City of Kenai regarding unfunded federal mandates. I
appreciate hearing of your concerns on this matter.
Senator Kempthorne has introduced a bill dealing with
unfunded federal mandates. S. 993 is a bill to end the practice
of imposing unfunded federal mandates on states and local
governments and to ensure that the federal government pays the
costs incurred by those governments in complying with certain
requirements under federal statutes and regulations. Also, on
October 27, 1993, Senator Brown introduced S.J. Res. 248. This
resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution barring
Federal unfunded mandates to the States. I am a cosponsor of
both the bill and the resolution.
I would be happy to work with the City of Kenai on this
matter.
With best wishes,
Cor 1 lly,

Official Program
Resource Development Council
for Alaska, Inc.
Dear Colleague:
Here's a preview of the Resource Development Council's 14th Annual Conference, "Alaska's Economy
in Transition: Exploring Common Ground." Bigger and better than ever, RDC's conference is a fact -
filled forum featuring over 40 speakers in a program of debates and bonus workshops on the most
volatile resource and economic issues facing Alaska.
RDC's conferences have a history of excellence and I think you will agree the line-up of speakers is
outstanding, the topics provocative and the educational effort worth supporting. A new format includes
three optional workshops which provide opportunities to get together, ask questions and have intensive
learning sessions with the experts. You will be impressed with the range of subjects, the caliber of
speakers and attendees, and the many networking opportunities.
The conference will focus on the transitions underway in Alaska's local economies and its basic indus-
tries. How will these changes affect you? With Alaska's economy in transition, what can we do to
supplement resource development?
The challenges before us are not simple, but RDC's "Alaska's Economy in Transition" is on the
cutting edge of the most current issues and information on resource development and Alaska's economy.
From the regulated to the regulator, the preservationist to the resource producer, the consumer to the
retailer, this timely conference embraces different perspectives in a spirit of forward thinking to find
common ground to the challenges ahead.
Adapting to change is a necessity in order to thrive in a changing, new economic order. It's time to move
from conflict to consensus and consider the possibilities and new ideas to help Alaska find a brighter
economic future. In Alaska, a state that has 88 percent of its land in public ownership, and whose
economy is almost entirely based on resource development, the changes sweeping the nation will have a
profound effect.
The issues are complicated, but it is in the interest of us all to bring them to light for the public to
understand what is facing Alaska. Educating the public is our goal. Attending RDC's annual conference
is one way you can help RDC work for you. Your participation is important. We hope you will take the
time to be there.
SiYes

Conference offers new format,
outstanding speakers and
lively panel debates
Featuring 47 speakers focusing on subjects ranging
from the retail boom in urban Alaska to new federal
policies affecting resource development on public lands,
the Resource Development Council's 14th Annual Con-
ference, Alaska's Economy in Transition: Exploring
Common Ground, will open Thursday, November 18
at the Hotel Captain Cook.
John Knebel, President of the American Mining
Congress, will officially open the two-day conference
with a noon keynote lunch presentation on Washington's
agenda for Alaska and the West. Knebel will address
new federal policies affecting resource development on
ublic lands and how those policies will affect Alaska, a
public land state heavily dependent on resource devel-
opment.
The Friday keynote lunch will serve as a special
legislative forum where the leaders of the House and
Senate, along with the majority and minority leaders of
both houses and the chairman of the resource commit-
tees, will address resource issues of the 1994 Alaska
Legislature.
The opening segment Thursday afternoon will fea-
ture a special panel presentation entitled, "Alaska's
Retail Boom: What Do They Know That We Don't?"
Panelists include Don Shinkle, Vice President of Corpo-
rate Affairs for Wal-Mart, Robert Matthews, General
Manager of Kmart, Rik Bucy, Store Director, Fred
Meyer of Alaska, Gregory Carr, Vice President of Mar-
keting and Sales for Carr Gottstein Foods and Neal
Fried, Senior Economist with the Alaska Department of
Labor. The RDC panel will mark the first time major
national retailers come together at the same table to
discuss the retail boom in urban Alaska. Fried will
present an economic -labor analysis of the expanding
retail sector while Gregory Carr will address how the
ajor Alaska food chain will respond to heighten com-
petition.
The conference includes a number of other panel
presentations on a wide range of subjects, including the
RDC conferences and forums have a history of excellence. The
1993 program offers optional workshops and panel presentations
on a wide range of subjects.
Mental Health Lands Trust dilemma, resource develop-
ment and environmental regulation on Native lands,
and a media perspective on resource development, the
environment and the economy.
The media panel features John Fund, Senior Edito-
rial Writer for the Wall Street Journal, Graham Fysh,
Senior Business Writer for the Tacoma Morning News
Tribune, Howard Weaver, Editor of the Anchorage Daily
News and John Tracy, News Director of KTUU Channel
2 News in Anchorage. Specific topics to be addressed
by the media include the coming bust in the Pacific
Northwest, the new politics of the environment and
economic activities to supplement resource develop-
ment.
The RDC conference will also feature a segment
highlighting the transitions underway in Alaska's oil and
gas, mining, timber, fishing and tourism industries. In
addition, a panel of state, federal, and local government
officials, as well as industry leaders will address
controversial Alaska resource issues in the context of
ANILCA. The labor perspective on federal land use
policies and their impact on Alaska jobs will be outlined
when a high- level official from Teamsters Local 959
addresses the conference.
The conference also includes three optional work-
shops:
• Strategies for Working Juneau Effectively
• How To Stay Alive in the Competitive Retail
Marketplace
• EPA Regulatory Issues Impacting Small
Communities and Business
The conference program includes representatives
from the Sierra Club, the National Wildlife Federation,
the Alaska Center for the Environment and the National
Park Service to not only provide different perspectives
on the most controversial issues, but to explore com-
mon ground and consider new approaches to resolving
conflicts in the resource development arena.

IT'S AMAZING HOW FAR YOU CAN GO
WITH A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT.
It's easier to overcome obstacles and cover a for of ground if you have steady
encouragement. Today, Alaska's oil industry needs the reassurance of stable taxes and
reasonable regulations to encourage energy exploration and development.
We have to get a jump on exploration because production
on the North Slope is dwindling, and new discoveries are
needed to take the place of the declining fields.'`
If the oil industry receives a little encouragement,
then Alaska's entire economy could
grow by leaps and bounds.
