OF HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES DIVISION OF PUBLIC HEALTH Mayor John Williams City of Kenai 210 Fidalgo Street Kenai, Alaska, 99611 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 Kenai Health Center �-I Suggested By: Public Works CITY OF KENAI ORDINANCE NO. 1573-93 AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, INCREASING ESTIMATED REVENUES AND APPROPRIATIONS BY $250,000 IN THE WATER AND SEWER FUND FOR SPUR HIGHWAY WATER AND SEWER CROSSINGS. WHEREAS, the State of Alaska will soon be repaving the Spur Highway; and, WHEREAS, the City of Kenai has determined that it should install certain water and sewer crossings under the Spur Highway before the repaving project is completed; and, WHEREAS, the Public Works Department has estimated the cost of the crossings to be approximately $250,000. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, that estimated revenues and appropriations be increased as follows: Water and Sewer Special Revenue Increase Estimated Revenues: Appropriation of Fund Balance $250,000 Increase Appropriations: Water - Transfers $125,000 Sewer - Transfers 125.000 $25 Spur Crossings - Water & Sewer Capital Project Increase Estimated Revenues: Transfer from Water and Sewer 5250,000 Increase Appropriations: Construction $2501..000 BE IT FURTHER ORDAINED, that the City Administration is authorized to enter into agreements with the State of Alaska for construction and reimbursement of the crossings and related costs. Ordinance No. 1573-93 Page 2 PASSED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, this 17th day of November, 1993. John J. Williams, Mayor ATTEST: Carol L. Freas, City Clerk Introduced: November 3, 1993 Adopted: November 17, 1993 Effective: November 17, 1993 Approved by Finance: G4 (10/27/93 clf 1791-1991 CITY OF KENAI 210 FIDALGO KENAI, ALASKA 99611 TELEPHONE 263-7535 FAX 907-283-3014 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. SUGGESTED BY: Mayor Willi..._ City of Kenai 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. John J. Williams, Mayor ATTEST: 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 8/1/93 r. spring, 1993, mid case 12.0 11.0 10.0 9.0 8.0 7 .0 billions of dollars 6.0 5.0 4.0 3.0 2.0 1.0 0.0 Proposed State Financial System - Retrospective 1371 1974 1977 1980 1983 1986 1989 1992 1995 1998 2001 2004 2007 2010 Income Budget ing, 1993, mid case billions of dollars :M .M MY] 120 M. :6 m 20 Proposed State Financial System - Retrospective 1971 1974 1977 1980 1983 1986 1989 1992 1995 1998 2001 2004 2007 2010 Permanent Fund Data: Dept. of Revenue ( projections: spri ng, 1993, mid case) * Permanent Fund Corp.

DOR MID -CASE REVENUES 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 (statutory); [ I. This amendment is effective at the beginning of fiscal 1996. Article IX Secljovs 16. Appropriation Lim?, an d,1/7 Budget Reserve Fuod, are repealed. 8/3/93 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. ®/ i BA Anchorage pally News Friday. November 6. 1992 / 1147-0RUM Our state GQnstitu��an and oil dn'tomix I)y ROGER CREM0 The legislature Is crillclecd for spending .a lot of money. 13ul, _" one limliallon. Il should spend • 101 of -money. when this state was crk.ied. Alaskans and Congress knew that ,is populallon would never be great. They realised that the Mclh- od of supporting governrnenl em- ployed in other stales — broad lex•llon — wouldn't produce enough tevenue, so they went 10 unprecedented lengihs. 'tile stale was endowed not only with a hundred' million acres of land, much of It polcnilally valuable for petroleum and other rnlotrals, but wills a large share 01 the mineral revenues Iroan The land retained by the federal govensmeril. 'plat d'etennined the structure of Alaska, perhaps for all tone. Its greatest source of wcallh, nalural resources, would be publicly owned. In diulsarge of Its duty to see to the people's welfare, this unique slate should spend liberally In support of the propertyless econo- my. Slate spending is the major force driving lhal economy add usually. makes the difference be- tween prosperity and recession. There Is. however, a limit to the amourul that the stale should spend In any year. not more than It can sustain , Rol 'more Ihan It reason- ably expects it can equal or exceed In the years that follow. Budgets are sustainable in the oli.er slues, where income is from ee r 1 l taxotao. T'bdie Sir,tes,.ustng their enforceable power to collect taxes on Income, sales or properly, cad reasonably count oo collect" .C a budgeted amount every y IZ Alaska, however, .here revenues are !rasa -natural resources., the stale can't specify the amount of Ili Income. So there really Is no Income budget. Whereas other slates get wilal they lake. Alaska lakes whet it gels. Tile fact that the stale cannot control Its Income Is not total, ►f the Income Is stable and thus Pr` dictable. But that isn't the case with natural resource revenues, whicli rise and tall, with the pro- duction and world price of com- modll ies. For these reasons the legislature can't observe the principle Illal spending be lim:led 10 a Sustain- able amount. Undaunted; It 101- lows another rule: spend it all every year. Thal eventually results In disaster, as In 1986- But we can 'I accuse the tegisla- lure of exceeding its authority, because its ruinous practice Is con" doated If not prescribed by our constitution. The framers of that document apparently didn't con- sider the fact that Il,e slate's In- coane would differ radically from that of the other states. The consll- lution Is quite conventional un the subiect of finances. It provides lhat the government has the power to tax. sisal locome -and expense are budgeted isrnually and That the f legislature can Appropriate the slate-s income -al any time. We have to switch to a system that slab111tes natural resource revenues for use 1n the budge! process. And there Is ■ way to do this. Those revenues would have to go into • fund that Is beyond the reach of the legistature. They would be Invested In securities. and nnoney for approprlallon would be withdrawn annually In an amount equal to part (perhaps 7 peasant) of the value of the fund. Thal value would be an average of llte fund's market valust va ous limes dosing a preceding peri- od. so t)te will.drawal amount wouldn't change abruptly. And Ilse withdrawal alndtinl would -be known during tilt annual budget debate. Generally, tlse site of the fund and the amount withdrawn annu- ally would steadily Increase,'balh nominally ausd in real terms. Over a given period, deposited revenues, retained investment Leconte and unrealized gain, combined, would be greater than what is withdrawn and the erosion caused by Infa- lion, combined. And the extent of growth would be predictable. A decrease In the amount withdrawn would be countered by legislative reduction of the budget or a nhance- Tiiis isn't a "savings account" to be spent when some future generation decides that it's a "rainy day.

This isn't a "savings account" to be spent whets some future genera- tion decides that It's a "rainy day." It's IS productive flnanelal reservoir benelitling all genera- tions by stabilizing and perpetual- ing natural resource revenues. Had it been In affect from the outset, conventional revenues would have been used to fund it.* bulk of the budgel during the early period. Before the end of the 19301, howev- er, contributions from a growing fund would have become the prin- cipal Ingredient of a real income budget. With .a 7 percent annual withdrawal and a total return on Inveslmenl of ID percent a year, the fund would now have a value of sixty-iwo billion dollars (based an Depastmenl of Revenue fig- ures.) Conversion to the proposed sys- lenn would be simple but not cast'. It wouldn't be necessary to create a new fund, In the Al. -a permanent Fund would be the appropriate vehicle. And the slate's surplus money, which Is kept (n accounts ihal would then be redundant, I.e. tise Permanent Fund Earnings . nescrve Acrotant and lilt Budget Reserve Fund. would be added to tine fund. There would be a transitional period of about 10 years, marked by a cont- binatlon of leresporary -measures: extraordlnary wMadrawals from the fund, increased conirenilonal revenues and some austerity. Too lough? No, not -lien compared to w;,at will happen again and again if we persist In using llte wrong system. We tire plagued br boom or bust. There Is a desperate need for sla- bll►ty. Instead of eomplalating about how much money the )crisis - lure spends, we should admit our A ouls: failure to provide a system under whleh an effectively re- strained legislature can operate re- sponsibly. we should amend the constitution! 0 Roger Creme Is an Anchorage law- yer. 7-252-'.245 OCT 28'93 15:13 No.011 P.01 Post -it"' bran I Fax Transmittal Memo Company Location F" " Telephone C role I, . 7672 Nn.

DIRECTOR'S REPORT 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 Info -track. (The Grolier programs are approximately a $300 value.) She will then decide whether to trade the machine. The Commission felt this would be a good deal for the Library. De Forest and Linda McNair will be in Seattle for a Dynix Workshop next week. The Christmas Open House has been scheduled for December 21 st. KENAI LIBRARY COMMISSION November 2, 1993 Page 2 7. OLD BUSINESS a. Welcome New Student Board Member The student member is Amy Price.

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.

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. KENAI LIBRARY COMMISSION November 2, 1993 Page 3 b. Next Meeting Date The next meeting is scheduled for December 7th. 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.

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 PAGE 6 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. BREAK: 8:35 PM RETURN TO ORDER: 8:45 PM KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES NOVEMBER 3, 1993 PAGE 11 ITEM H: NEW BUSINESS H-1.

There were no objections. SO ORDERED. 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. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES NOVEMBER 3, 1993 PAGE 13 Measles stated he understood the $5,000 is included in the $250,000 to be appropriated at the next meeting. Affirmed.

MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of the Agreement and Consent to Assignment of Lease for Security Purposes for Lot 3, Bloc 4, Fidalgo Commercial Center. Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. Administration had no objections. VOTE: Councilman Measles requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. 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. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES NOVEMBER 3, 1993 PAGE 15 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 KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES NOVEMBER 3, 1993 PAGE 18 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. 2. Townsite Historic Property Owners - Freas requested direction from Council as to whether they wanted all the property owners notified of the reconsideration of two of the TSH ordinances. Consensus was yes. I-5. Finance Director No report. I-6. Public Works Director 1. Courthouse - Kornelis reported the courthouse substantial completion was done and they established that date to be October 27. There are items on the punch list need to be completed. The plaque is up and the building should be ready for the dedication. 2. Soil Remediation - Glacier has started work on the contaminated soils. 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. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES NOVEMBER 3, 1993 PAGE 19 4. Building Official - Richard Beck has resigned. Bob Springer has been hired. I-7. Airport Manager Ernst referred to invitations Council received to attend the triennial emergency disaster drill scheduled for 11/8/93 beginning at 6:00 p.m. Ernst explained the drill is an FAA 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: Councilman Smalley MOVED to convene in an executive session of the Council of the City of Kenai, concerning matters the immediate knowledge of which would clearly have an adverse effect upon the finances of the City of Kenai. Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. 80 ORDERED. EXECUTIVE SESSION: APPROXIMATELY 10:15 P.M. BACK TO ORDER: APPROXIMATELY 11:00 P.M.

Smalley - Reported he will be out of town next week. Smalley stated he has requested Councilman Bannock to attend the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting for him. Williams - Reported he will be speaking before the Finance Directors at AML. Williams requested a letter of recognition be written to the dispatcher who was on duty and handled a false alarm of a chlorine leak. Williams added the dispatcher dealt with a variety of government agencies and did not get excited. Councilman Measles stated he also heard the report on the scanner and agreed the dispatcher did an excellent job.

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.

Ms. Kim Howard Administrative Assistant City of Kenai 210 Fidalgo Ave., Suite 200 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. Ms. Kim Howard October 21, 1993 Page 2 Thank you very much for your assistance in this matter.

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. the grant proposal on November 19th and input before this date. Thank you for forward to hearing from you.

The Forum offers both the candidates and AML members a chance to share ideas and concerns.

Page 2 AML Touchstone ■ November 1993 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. AML Touchstone ■ November1993 page 3 City Managers Richard Underkofler, Soldotna, and Tom Manninen, Kenai, and Host CommitteeTransportation Committee Chair, Laura Measles, are looking forward to meeting al/ of the AML Conference delegates at the 1993 AML Local Government Conference in Kenai/Soldotna. 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.

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.

Over 80 percent of partici- pants received awards this year.

Based on the the exceptional loss history for FY93, it is ex- pected that many members will receive credit. Members with poor experience could receive up to a 30 percent bill- ing. "This program is intended to recognize and thank commu- nities with active and effective risk management programs," said Steve Wells, Director of Risk Management for AML/ JIA. 5 YEAR CLAIMS EXPERIENCE (FY89 - FY93) 300 250 ■ Wan -I C riowmhon ' 56" 200 ■ GWWW uwey - 27% ■P,bWorw.W- 1% 150 ❑Pcfq Prof -"-4% ❑Aub l/tnly-5% 100 13Pmmny-8% 50 Participants with claims total- ing 1 percent or less of their premiums will receive "plati- num" awards, those with claims totaling 1 to 10 percent of their premiums will receive "gold" awards, those with losses between 11 and 20 per- cent will receive "silver" awards, and those with claims totaling 21 to 25 per- cent of their premiums will receive "bronze" awards.

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."

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. New Building, continued from page 1 membership grows, while at tee (Trustees Chair, Vice - 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 1-800-337-3682. 4 Risk Management REPORT AVM m 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 Appointed to Board "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 until we become large enough o expand fur - her," he said. Specifically, Rasmussen said he is interested in having AML/JIA offer health insur- ance to its mem- bers, and in in- creasing the mem- bership of munici- pal schools and utilities. "We need to 1eo Ra continue to attempt and /!A Boaoa to bring them on Monday as members of our Business insurance pool, and increase the size of our pool," he said. In addition to his service as Council Member in Nome, Rasmussen, who owns and operates the Music Mart in Nome, has served as chair- smussen, Louncn r FrOer, L1W or rvome. 1 Past President, was appointed to the AML' rd or Trustees. His two Year term begins November 8. at the AMVIIA Annual Meeting. man of the Republican Party in Alaska, as Official Timer for the Iditarod Trail Race and is a member of the Rotary Club, Nome Kennel Club and Alaska Geographic Society, among other memberships. 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 both industry and govern- ment. The Wescott group specializes in local govern- ment s ideo training and pro- duces the Law Enforcement Television Network (LETN), Coachinc the Maintenance Vehicle Operator" is one of several training tapes mailable mrouch the AMLWA.

City of Craig Public Works Director the Fire and Emergency Tele- vision Network (FETN) among others. The AML/JIA spends thou- sands each vear in member- ships and rental fees to firms that offer hundreds of safety training videos. The videos, ranging in length from five minutes to more than an hour, cover such top- ics as safe lifting and back care, welding safety, forklift safety and hearing protection. City of Craig Public Works Director, Mike McKimens, said he has used many videos in the past for safety training, but finds those provided by the National Resource Safetv Center, through AML/JIA, to be among the best.

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. SR:kfw K FRANK H.

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. Sin ly, F ank H. Murkowski United States Senator ROBERT C. BYRD.

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.

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 ly, JaL. Cloud Page 2 / RESOURCE REVIEW / November 1993 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.
