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

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 to approval by the Homer Electric
Association Board of Directors.
Ms. Kim Howard

COUNCIL ON AGING MINUTES
November 12, 1993
The meeting was called to order at 9:30 a.m.
ROLL CALL
Members present: Paul Padilla, Joanna Hollier, Gene Seay,
Al Pease, Pauline Gross
Also present: Pat Porter, Sheryl Paulsen
Absent: Georgetta Funk, Sam Huddleston
APPROVAL OF AGENDA
Minutes of the September 13, 1993 meeting were approved.
OLD BUSINESS
1. Dinner at Soldotna Senior Center: Hollier reported the dinner
was held for all Peninsula centers and most were represented.
She stated she would like the Kenai Senior Center to have a
salmon bake or something in June or July and invite Soldotna
to reciprocate. She said there will more discussion about
this as the time draws near.
2. Memorial Plaques: Porter reported the plaques are being made
in oak by Sienna Cabinets for much less than it would have
cost to buy them. They should be ready today.
3. Increased Meal Prices: Hollier reported prices were raised
effective November 1, and there have been no complaints.
Gross added very few complaints have been heard regarding the
increase in the bus rates either.
NEW BUSINESS
1. New Employee: Hollier reported Mary Ellen Perrizo was hired
to replace Lynn Kocinski. She stated, "We are glad to have
her." Porter stated Kocinski was very involved in the hiring
process and, while all applicants were well qualified in the
area of office skills, Porter and Kocinski feel Perrizo's
compassion and feeling for the older people make her the best
person for the job. Perrizo worked for Shell Oil for 12 years
as a secretary.
2. Housing Addition/Mayor's Request: Porter reported Mayor
Williams announced at the last City Council meeting there is
a vacancy in the senior housing. Porter then told Council
-1-
there is a waiting list of 45 people. Council discussed this,
and it was decided Mayor Williams would research the
possibility of a low interest loan from Alaska State Housing
for additional housing. Porter stated since Williams is a
realtor he understands the issues and can maybe get the needed
money.
Hollier added she is all for the addition, but she would
recommend it include covered parking for the residents.
3. Request to Legislature: Porter stated the Senior Center needs
new vehicles. Because it does not qualify for non-profit
monies, Porter decided to ask Representative Mike Navarre
about a legislative grant. He was receptive to the idea and
will pursue it. Porter wrote a memo to Swarner who brought
the idea up at the last Council meeting. Porter said there
are two vehicles which need to be replaced now: a 1981 Ford
Escort which is too small and a 1984 van the shop wants
replaced. Also, the Meals -On -Wheels van is getting too many
miles on it (200,000 plus). The Center takes 4 to 5 people to
physical therapy every day. Vans and mini -vans are too high
for people to get in and out of. Porter said a large station
wagon would work well because people could get themselves in
and out, and the back could be used to haul wheelchairs, etc.
4. Reappointment of Members: Hollier stated Padilla's and Gross'
terms on the Council are up in January. Padilla has said he
will serve again; Gross has not decided yet.
5. Election of Officers: Hollier asked for volunteers for a
nominating committee. Gene Seay volunteered himself. Hollier
volunteered Funk. Nominees will be needed for three offices:
president, vice-president and secretary.
6. Salad Bar: Hollier stated that the line for the salad bar is
sometimes very long; yesterday everyone was served in 17
minutes. Someone had suggested to her that the salad bar be
pulled away from the wall so people could use both sides of
it. Porter said she would try it. Porter also stated there
will be three salad choices everyday: a green salad, a Jello
or fruit salad, and cook's choice. Porter asked if she should
put up signs asking people to go through the salad bar only
once. After some discussion it was decided not to use signs
at this time.
Meeting adjourned at 9:55 a.m.
Respectfully submitted,

Objectives by mid -January.
7. AIRPORT MANAGER'S REPORT
Mr. Ernst also passed out Airport Commission notebooks
outlining the operations of the Kenai Airport. He pointed out
the Airport Overview of Projects and Contracts in the notebook
which listed specific 1992, 1993, 1994, and future projects
for the airport. Under the 1994 projects he stated they are
AIRPORT COMMISSION
November 18, 1993
- 2 -
almost ready to go out for bid for the new airport signs. The
bid will have the contingency that the signs would not be put
in place until May or June when the weather gets better.
Approximately $20,000 of AIP funds are currently available.
The 1994 allocation has not come through yet because Congress
has not yet passed the re -authorization bill. A vote is
expected at the end of this month. Ernst is projecting
approximately $600,000 from the bill which will be enough to
do the specified projects.
Ernst pointed out the updating of the master plan under future
projects. The last one was completed in 1986 so work should
start on an updated master plan.
Regarding the terminal, the carpet needs to be replaced even
though its only three years old. It looks shabby, does not
clean well and was a low quality carpet. He would also like
to see some new furnishings and thought it would be worth
looking into renovating the ticket and car rental counters.
A long term goal for expansion might include extension of
Charlie taxiway. He shared a few other ideas and
possibilities for expansion. Ernst noted that any future
renovations would have to be in compliance with the American
Disabilities Act.
Ernst discussed the businesses in the airport and the five-
year bid process. Bob Scott asked if current bid holders
would have the first right of refusal to at least match
another bidder. Ernst was unsure as to whether that would be
allowed but stated he would check with City Attorney Graves on
that issue.
Discussion regarding the location of seeding a grass area that
could also double as a ski area in the winter.
Tom Thibodeau questioned the status of establishing camping
sites near the basin and other locations. Another location
was also discussed near Kenai Air for wheeled aircraft. Ernst
didn't feel it would take too much to incorporate.
Ernst stated the aforementioned are just ideas that could or
could not be incorporated into the Airport Commissions Goals
and Objectives. He encouraged each Commissioner to consider
the ideas and also review the notebook when deriving their
goals. Each Commissioner should come prepared to work on
goals at the next meeting.

Ernst then did a brief overview for each section in the
Airport Commission Notebook and pointed out the Land Status
Map.
Ernst then discussed the fish hauling operations which
requires special rules such as obtaining special use permits.
He is concerned with Everts Air working under the auspices of
Kenai Airport Fuel Services as their handlers. After talking
with Mr. Eicholz, they don't have any affiliation with Everts
Air now as far as dry cargo concerns. If that is the case,
then they should not be treated any differently than the fish
haulers. The airport did try to get a $20/day fee for dry
cargo loading commercial operations but Council did not vote
for it, but it may be something that needs to be looked at
again. There also has been a lot of problems with Everts
spilling fuel on the ramp and staging across the whole lease
area from United Fuel Services all the way to FedEx. Bob
Scott asked where does the liability lie for them being out
there if they are no longer associated with the fuel company;
all special use permits require insurance.
Ernst also noted that there is major contamination on Lot 3.
Northern Test Labs was their engineer to oversee the
excavation of the tanks and cleanup, but just as Northern Test
Labs were ready to make their report to DEC, they switched to
Rozak. Ernst has not seen any report from Rozak but he
understands from Northern Test Lab that contamination is
fairly extensive with as much as a foot of product standing on
the ground water.
8. COMMISSION COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS: None.
9. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS:
Ernst stated he and City Manager Manninen went to Homer last
week to look at their new terminal station which should be
operational December 1, 1993. Although he foresees a few
operational problems, he stated it is a vast improvement from
what they had previously.
10. ADJOURNMENT:
Tom Thibodeau moved for adjournment and Ron Holloway seconded.
Vice -Chairman Scott adjourned the meeting at 8:28 p.m.
Vice -Chairman Scott immediately re -commenced the meeting to
discuss the mock disaster drill at the airport earlier this
month. Ernst stated the exercise went well and improvements
in some areas are needed but that was the whole point of the
exercise. This type of training program is required by the
AIRPORT COMMISSION
November 18, 1993
- 4 -
FAA every three years. Ernst stated the National Guard was
impressed with the local agencies during the exercise. Ron
Holloway and Tom Thibodeau gave their impressions of the drill
and stated a few of their concerns. Ernst stated there will
be a critique meeting on November 23 and he will take their
concerns to the meeting; however, he encouraged them to also
go directly to the Fire Chief with their concerns.
Tom Thibodeau moved to re -adjourn and Holloway seconded.
Vice -Chairman Scott adjourned the meeting at 8:37 p.m.
Respectfully s bmitted,

KENAI HARBOR COMMISSION
November 15, 1993
Kenai City Hall
Tommy Thompson, Chairman
1. ROLL CALL
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Thompson at 7:10
p.m.
Commissioners present were: Thompson, Spracher, Munn and
McCubbins. Commissioners absent were: Aldridge and Jahrig.
Also present were Keith Kornelis from the City of Kenai and
Councilman Jim Bookey.
2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA
Hearing no objections, the agenda stood approved.
3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 13 AND OCTOBER 11, 1993
Both sets of minutes were approved unanimously.
4. PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD
Swede Freden was unable to attend as scheduled. He will be
asked to speak at the next meeting.
5. OLD BUSINESS
a. Design drawings of dock ramp by William J. Nelson:
Thompson stated that it was decided at the work session
that we could do it ourselves just as well and for a lot
less money.
b. Boat launch fees: As requested, Kornelis wrote a letter
to the fish processors regarding payment of the launch
fee and taking turns in the boat launch line. A copy of
the letter is in the packet.
C. Revenue and expenses: Charles Brown responded to the
Harbor Commission's questions with a memo and a print out
showing the history of financial activity of the boating
facility (in the packet). Boat launch fees for the 1993
season were $11,229.
d. Keener Packing: Attorney Cary Graves responded to the
Commission's question about the status of collection of
monies from Keener Packing (memo in packet). Nothing has
been collected to date; a further attempt will be made in
the spring after fishing season begins again.
HARBOR COMMISSION MINUTES
November 15, 1993

6. NEW BUSINESS
a. Goals and objectives: Councilman Bookey stated he would
like this list finalized and presented by a member of the
Harbor Commission to Council at their second meeting in
January, 1994.
1. Build a fish cleaning table for fishermen.
2. Extend the city dock and add a second causeway.
This will expand the dock capacity and ease traffic
congestion. (This is a long range goal.)
3. Provide a ramp from the shore side of the dock to
the dock floats, with an access way underneath the
dock. This will greatly reduce the City's present
liability due to personnel climbing the open
ladders on the dock sides.
4. Explore the feasibility of adding a third boat
launch ramp.
5. Add protective material around the present open
pilings on the upstream side of the boat ramp
floats. The present float design prevents larger
boats from using the upstream ramp.
6. Put in place an oil spill response and emergency
contingency plan.
7. Seek to discover means of preventing or reducing
siltation at the dock and boat ramps.
8. Explore the feasibility of providing a fenced boat
storage yard. This will provide convenience for
many boat owners and will generate revenue for the
city.
b. Munn asked about making a goal of providing camping
facilities for the summer workers. Councilman Bookey
stated that the Parks & Rec Commission has that on their
goal list, and it is beyond the scope of the Harbor
Commission.
C. Councilman Bookey stated that Council is looking at
possibly disbanding some Commissions or combining
Commissions due to lack of quorums and lack of activity.
He encouraged the Harbor Commission to work on their goal
list and maintain a quorum.
d. There was some discussion about putting the Kenai River
beach on the list of goals, but it was pointed out that
Parks and Rec is also handling that one.
HARBOR COMMISSION MINUTES
November 15, 1993
Page 3
Spracher MOVED to adopt the eight (8) goals; Munn seconded the
motion. The motion passed unanimously.
7. INFORMATION
a. Letter of resignation from Bill Altland: Spracher
suggested sending a Thank You card to Bill Altland for
his work on the Commission. He will get the card.
b. Letter by Keith Kornelis to Cherrier & King re:
Siltation problems. After some discussion, it was
decided to put this item on the goal list.
C. Anchorage Times Article "Too Much Acrimony": This was in
the packet last time.
S. DISCUSSION
a. Spracher stated he wrote a letter to Representative Don
Young regarding the siltation problem. He also spoke
with Peggy Arness about it.
b. It was decided that the next meeting will be held on
Monday, December 6, 1993. Chairman Thompson said to plan
to finalize the goal list at that time. Then the list
can be re-evaluated at the first meeting in January and
presented to City Council later in January.
C. Kornelis stated he received a letter from Delcon
complimenting the City of Kenai on the management of
their dock facility. The letter will be in the next
packet.
9. COMMISSION COMMENTS & QUESTIONS
None.
10. ADJOURNMENT
Munn moved to adjourn; Spracher seconded. Thompson adjourned
the meeting at 8:10.

4. PLANNING
a. Landscaping/Site Plan Review - Salamatof Native Association
Bryson introduced the item, which was a request for modification of the site located at
the comer of Willow and Granite Place. Bryson said he had gone by the site after he
received his packet. At that time there were five trees, the site plan indicates parking
on that side. They are proposing parking which is partially on their property and
partially in the right-of-way (ROW). In addition they are proposing snow storage
generally in the ROW partially on their property. He had a problem with the fact that
the property is located on a comer and they may block the visibility at that point, and a
sewage lift station that possibly could interfere with proposed snow storage. Also, he
does not like a parking situation where people have to back into the street to leave.
Kevin Walker said it appeared that most of the work was already done. He wondered
why the site plan was before the Commission, when there will have to be parking
whether it's approved or not. Walker also expressed concern about the snow storage
and felt parking and backing onto the street at that corner is inappropriate.
MOTION:
Goecke moved approval of Resolution PZ 93-46. Glick Seconded.
DISCUSSION
Bryson asked if anyone knew whether the pavement was new or not? Duane
Bannock noted that Mr. Chumley was in the audience representing the applicant and
perhaps he would answer questions regarding the siteplan.
Mr. Chumley said that the asphalt is not there. There was clay under the building that
needed to be removed so they could replace a sheet of metal that had a hole in it.
The building is very old and they are doing a lot of improvements. At this time there is
very limited parking, if you park several cars in front of the building it's hard for people
to back around and leave the lot.
Kenai Planning & Zoning Commission
November 10, 1993 - Meeting
Page 2
Bryson also noted from the siteplan that all the area on the lot will now be parking or
building. Snow removal is going to be a problem. He was uncomfortable with being
presented with one situation in the packet and when the meeting rolls around it's a
different situation. He asked if Administration had addressed the issue of snow
removal?
Springer said that he had not addressed the snow removal, just the parking situation.
There appears to be plenty of space between the street and where vehicles would
back up.
Goecke asked Chumley if consideration had been given to parallel parking, three
abreast on that side of the building?
Chumley said that it wasn't, but, they would have no problem with looking at that. As
far as the snow storage, they had to indicate a place according to the application, but
the storage area could be changed.
Glick asked if there was a door on the Granite Street side?
Chumley said there is not, but the new plans will include a door there.
Right now the building is basically a warehouse and they are going to make 60%
office space.
Walker said that he would like the snow storage area to be moved, and the parking
spaces changed to parallel parking.
Chumley said he would agree to move the snow storage area and change the parking
to parallel.
Goecke asked to include on PZ 93-46 parallel parking and the removal of the snow
storage to another area. Glick (second) concurred.
Bryson asked if anyone on the Commission had an objection to the changes. Hearing
none the motion was changed. Bryson reiterated that he was still resistant to backing
onto City streets and he felt that the City Engineer should comment on the location of
the snow storage area.

6. NEW BUSINESS
a. Homer Electric Request to Purchase
Kim Howard reviewed the memorandum regarding the request to purchase land
described as the southern 4.7 acre portion of Tract B, Baron Park Subdivision No. 5.
If the commission finds that this property is not needed for city use, and the FAA will
finalize the release for sale, the property will be put up for competitive bid. Since HEA
made the original request to purchase they would be able to meet the low bid.
MOTION:
Glick moved to recommend to Council that the City of Kenai place land described
as the southern portion 4.7 acre portion of Tract B, Baron Park S/D No. 5, up for
sale by competitive bid. Teresa Werner-Quade seconded.
DISCUSSION:
Walker wished to add to the motion, providing a deed of release is received from the
FAA. Bryson asked if maker and second concurred. So concurred.
Ron Goecke asked what HEA needed the land for?
Dave Bear, HEA representative, said they are wishing to replace the sub -station on
Walker Lane. This station was built to facilitate operation of Kenai Packers and is
outdated. HEA needs to replace and upgrade this sub -station. If allowed to purchase
the property for the new sub -station, they will remove the station on Walker Lane.
Bryson said this area has been a waste site in the past and he wondered if that would
create problems.
Kenai Planning & Zoning Commission
November 10, 1993 - Meeting
Page 4
Bear said they had dug some test holes on the site and it did not appear there would
be any problems. The actual space for the sub -station is a fairly small area.
Bryson noted that the dirt mounds near the sight may eventually be play areas for
children, would the sub -station be fenced?
Bear replied that it would be fully fenced.
Werner-Quade asked how much of the site would be used for the sub -station?
Bear replied that it would be approximately 150 ft. by 250 ft. The reason for the large
configuration of the lot is HEA must bring transmission into the site. Also, there are
numerous underground distribution feeders that have to come from the site, so they
need a large area to facilitate these lines.

from Phillip Evans to M.J. Grimm and R. J. Johnson?

Duane Bannock reported that Council will be reconsidering the TSH Zone ordinance,
size, Land Use Table, and Landscaping Ordinance. He urged P&Z to contact Council
members and let them know their feelings and talk with the people who expressed
concerns about the TSH zone before the December 15th meeting.
Council will be advertising for members for an Historic Preservation Board. The City
of Kenai is still looking for quantities of good water and are looking into several areas
within the City. The Council discussed Grant Place. A family lives in the middle of
that block which is not served by city water and sewer. There septic system is failing
and they wish to hook into the city system which would be very expensive. Council
kinda said to dig their own hole and hook into the system. Bannock thought this was
wrong.

Financial Statement.

Single Audit Report for the year ending June 30, 1993 which were

B-2. Jeanne Berger, Kenai Health Center - Support of Their
Request to Move to Old Courthouse Building.

Health Center. Berger stated the Center is housed in the
basement of the Kenai City Hall in approximately 1,000 square
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
STUDENT GOVERNMENT DAY
NOVEMBER 3, 1993
PAGE 3
feet of room. At this time, the Center employs eight persons and
will be adding two more persons to their office within two
months.
Berger reported the City of Kenai has housed the Center in City
Hall since 1980. In that time, the population has grown, as well
as their clients and services. Berger stated they would like to
move into larger quarters. They have applied for space in the
old courthouse building. Berger informed Council there is
problem, however, because other state offices moving into the
courthouse are using remaining rental funds for renovation of
their new space. Because the Kenai Health Center pays a minimum
amount of rent to the City, they have no funding for renovation
work. Berger stated they have applied to the state for funding
to either renovate space or build a new facility, but that takes
time.
Berger requested Council's support of their request to the State
for funding of $1 million for the construction of a larger
facility in which to house the Kenai Health Center or for
renovation work in an existing larger facility. Berger added she
believed the City could easily support this request because it
wants good health care for the people. Berger stated it has been
suggested the City appoint a committee and take the Health
Center's request on as their objective.
Williams stated he met with several judges and requested them, as
well as Manninen and Kornelis to find out what the State's
intentions are of the old courthouse. Williams suggested it
would not be good to renovate the downstairs courtroom as there
is a big need for space to hold administrative law hearings.
Williams added some feel that building could be used for a center
for administrative law. Williams stated they are trying to find
out who is in charge in order to request them to leave the
courtroom as it is. Williams added in the near future, the
courtroom could be used to hold District Court proceedings.
Williams suggested the council could pursue, in writing, not to
change the building. Williams added there is a concern enough
funding would not be available for renovation costs or build a
new facility. Williams added something must be done.
Williams stated he has suggested before to enter into a
partnership with the Health Service to build a regional health
center. The City could buy its way out by donating the land.
The facility could be over by the Senior Center. Williams added
KENAI CITY COUNCIL
STUDENT GOVERNMENT

DAY
he thinks it would be good to join in for support for money for a
regional health center. Williams added that could take three
years.
Monfor stated she agreed with Williams 100%. Monfor reminded
council of her request for administration to do an inventory of
city lands. Monfor suggested there may be other areas where a
new facility could be built in order to keep the core of the
community close. Monfor added it is probably late to approach
the Legislature, but believed the State needs to be told of the
need and it needs to be addressed as soon as possible.
Williams stated he will work with the city manager and put a
resolution together for the next meeting and hopefully he will be
able to give a report as well.
ITEM C: PUBLIC HEARINGS
C-1. 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.
MOTION:
Student Councilman Overway MOVED for approval of Ordinance No.
1573-93 and Student Councilman Bryson SECONDED the motion.
Kornelis stated standard specifications will be followed.
Student Councilman Baldock asked if there was any grant money
available to help pay the cost. Finance Director Brown stated he
was not aware of any grant monies available. Brown added money
needs to be set aside now as it is not known if there will be any
grant money available.
Student City Manager Chivers stated he felt it is a good idea to
do this work now. It would be more costly to complete the paving
and then cut into it to do this work. It is better to do the
work before the paving.

Election.
MOTION:
Student Councilman Saltzgiver MOVED for approval of Resolution
No. 93-87 and Student Councilman Overway SECONDED the motion.
John Williams - Reviewed the intent of the Cremo Plan with the
students and councilmembers. Williams stated he discussed the
Plan with finance directors and Alaska Conference of Mayors
during the AML Conference. Williams added the Mayors did not act
on the resolution because they did not feel knowledgeable of the
proposed plan. A meeting of the AML Board of Directors, AML
director, members of the legislature and representatives of the
Office of Management & Budget and Division of Permanent Fund has
been planned. It is hoped the meeting will be carried by RATNET
and the public radio station throughout the state. Williams
spoke in support of the resolution.
Williams added this is not the only plan that will work, however
it is a start. Passage of the resolution would show support of
the people for the legislature to review the plan and work toward
designing some program to achieve sustained spending.
James J. Elson - Kittiwake, Kenai, AK. Elson spoke in support of
the passage of the resolution. Elson spoke about state spending
during his term as mayor and his concern in regard to the
business climate in the State of Alaska. Elson stated the
formulation of a plan such as the Cremo Plan would stabilize
municipal revenues. Elson stated the present state finance
system is not working. Elson requested support of the

resolution, adding the resolution does not address the Cremo
Plan, but gives the people a chance to look at what is affecting
the finances of the state.
Representative Mike Navarre - Navarre stated he supported the
passage of the resolution. Navarre added during his tenure as a
state representative, he has worked toward and interested in
creating a long-term budget plan. Navarre stated the state's
revenue is declining and by the year 2000, it is expected there
will be 50% of the revenue now coming into the state. There will
be a shortfall. The Cremo Plan would help to keep the budget
even.
Navarre added the plan is not perfect, but it demands responsible
decisions which are not now being made by the Legislature.
Navarre added the Plan does not address what will become of the
Permanent Fund Dividend. Navarre added the Plan would force
responsible decisions by the Legislature and passage of this
resolution will tell the Legislature the municipality wants
something done. Navarre stated the Legislature will then have to
come up with a solution. The Plan will be discussed and debated.
Those discussions will be very volatile. Navarre added the
sooner a long-term budget is discussed, the better the decisions
for the future will be.
Navarre urged support of the resolution.

a. Donation/Punch Cards - McGillivray stated he had a
discussion with the City Manager, City Attorney and Finance
Director regarding punch cards at the Center. In the past, they
have donated punch cards as prizes for various fund raisers such
as the Boys & Girls Club, Pickle Hill Public Radio, Alternative
School, Peninsula Oilers, etc. Their feeling was the donation of
the punch cards were good advertisement. Generally, people
receiving cards come back after the cards have been used up.
McGillivray added in 1993 they donated approximately $378 in
punch cards.
Councilwoman Monfor stated she did not have a problem with the
donation of the cards. City Manager Manninen stated staff
recommendation is to adopt a policy to allow donation of up to
ten cards, or $500, per year.

Councilman Smalley MOVED to adopt a policy to allow donation of
up to ten Recreation Center punch cards, or $500, per year.

replacement costs for 24 items would be approximately $3,500.
McGillivray stated he spoke with Manninen and they decided to
bring the subject to Council's attention. McGillivray asked
Council if they wished to replace the items immediately in order
they may be placed this year or wait until the next budget
discussions.
Councilman Smalley asked if the funding for replacements would
come from General Miscellaneous. Brown answered no, a resolution
to transfer funds from contingency would be required. Brown
added there is money in contingency if Council wishes to spend it
on decorations.
Williams asked Brown how he perceives the city's fiscal gap in
the its budget. Brown stated there are some accounts which will
probably have extra revenue. Brown added it is too soon in the
year to make predictions of how the budget will end. Brown asked
Council to remember in July, $220,000 was paid on city hall debt.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL

Those funds were not included in the budget. Brown added it is
difficult to say the city is in much better condition. Brown
stated he did not think the numbers are that convincing. The
city is doing well, but Brown could not say the fund balance will
stay.
Monfor asked if McGillivray orders the decorations and brings the
resolution to the December 1, 1993 meeting, how soon can the
decorations arrive. McGillivray stated he would have to call and
find out. He has had them send light replacements and they
arrived quickly.
Monfor stated the Chamber's main event is "Christmas Comes to
Kenai" and is a major fund raiser for the City because it brings
so many people into town. Monfor supported the purchase of the
decorations.
MOTION:
Councilman Smalley MOVED for city administration to draft a
resolution to draw funds for the ribbons and decoration
replacements in the amount of $4,000. Councilman Measles
SECONDED the motion.
Councilman Measles asked if Parks & Recreation Director may be
directed to order the decorations tomorrow without having the
resolution passed first. Brown answered no, the Council should
not.
Swarner asked McGillivray if there was money to transfer within
his accounts. McGillivray stated there was. Brown stated only
$1,000 can be transferred. McGillivray stated he has only $1,600
in that account. Smalley asked if the purchase order number must
be given to the vendor at the time of the order. McGillivray
answered yes, items are not ordered without a purchase order
number.
Brown stated the procedure is well established. Brown will not
sign a purchase order until money is appropriated into the
account from where the item is to be ordered. Nothing is ordered
without a purchase order. Smalley asked if in the past there
have been special exceptions to the policy. Brown stated no.
Brown added there have been bills that come in without a purchase
order being done first because of miscommunications. Brown
stated he calls them errors. Measles stated this would be a
planned error.

available for the open house. Freas added she contacted the
Kitchen Express for a proposal and brought that information back
to council in memo form. Council approved the cost of $825.
Other costs to the city were $150 for the sound equipment and
postage for the invitations, as well as time. Freas stated
Williams stated he had received a call from someone at the State

the utilities. If the work is not done now, it may delay summer
projects. Swarner stated she thought this should be reviewed.
Swarner asked for a report of what other towns do. Kornelis
stated he could call other towns. Normally they do not allow
this type of digging after a hard frost. Swarner stated she
realizes there are emergencies, but does not see this one as an
emergency. There was no action taken.
Monfor - a. Thanked Kornelis and Freas for their help with the
AML booth.
b. Asked about the city moving the trees in front of the
Texaco station. Monfor stated she would like the city to move
them and replant them at the Bicentennial building. Swarner
stated she has a problem with the city trying to move the trees
because of the underground utilities on the property. Monfor
again stated she would like the city to try. There was no action
by council.
Measles - No report.
Bannock - Asked the process in requesting new street lights, i.e.
does the city put them up, how often, who's responsible for them,
etc. Kornelis stated requests are taken from citizens and the
Police Department. He has asked HEA how much they will charge
for installation and then the information is brought to council.
HEA installs them. They are non -metered. HEA maintains them.
If there is vandalism to the poles and lights, the city is
charged. Bannock stated he has had some discussion regarding
street lights from people on Channel and Woodside in Woodland
Subdivision. Williams asked Bannock to pursue the question of
street lights and report back to council.
Smalley - a. Wished everyone happy Thanksgiving.
b. Sorry he missed AML but heard people had a wonderful
time and were really impressed with Kenai/Soldotna.
C. Asked Manninen if the city has considered having a
recreational plan for employees of the city, i.e. allowing them
to use the Recreation Center at no cost as a fitness/wellness
program. Manninen stated he has had some preliminary discussions
with staff in regard to a fitness program for city employees. At
this time the public safety employees are mandated by law to be

fit and they are the only employees able to use the facilities
for free. There has been no mandate or money budgeted for other
employees to use the facility for free.
Smalley stated he understood employees working at the facility
use the facility for free. Manninen stated it is not right that
one group of employees can use the facility for free and not
others.
Smalley asked Graves if the City, as an entity, can offer
benefits to some employees and not to other employees. Graves
stated at this time, the city policy is acceptable because those
persons afforded the free use are mandated by law as a condition
of their employ (public safety officers).
Williams added he placed two All -America City coffee mugs in the
display case and hung a Congressional Document on the Chambers'
wall. Williams added a plaque was presented to Council from the
Kenai Bar Association in regard to the courthouse dedication.
The plaque has been placed in the display case as well.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Williams and Kenai City Council I�
FROM: Thomas J. Manninen, City Manager
DATE: November 5, 1993
RE: Thompson Park Water and Sewer Special Assessments
CITY MANAGER'S REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL REGARDING THE PROPOSED
IMPROVEMENT, PROSPECTIVE GRANTS, GRANT APPLICATIONS, PERCENTAGE OF
THE IMPROVEMENT PLAN COST TO BE ASSESSED, DESCRIPTION DEFINING THE
DISTRICT, AND PROPERTIES TO BE ASSESSED SHOWING THE DESIRABLE SCOPE
OF THE PROPOSED THOMPSON PARK WATER AND SEWER IMPROVEMENTS:
This City Manager's Report is triggered by Resolution No. 93-81,
dated October 20, 1993 and Chapter 16.10 of the Kenai Municipal
Code. Chapter 16 entitled "Public Improvements and Special
Assessments" sets forth the general provisions, procedure,
assessment authority and method of assessment for public
improvements. Chapter 16.10 sets forth the procedure and City
Manager action required. This memo satisfies Section 16.10.010.
As required by KMC 16.10.010, within sixty days after passage of
Resolution 93-81, the City Manager shall make a survey of and
report on the proposed improvement to the City Council. This
report addresses the need for, the desirable scope of and the
estimated cost of the proposed Thompson Park water and sewer
improvement, perspective grants that have been secured to assist in
the payment for the improvements, and the recommended percentage of
the improvement plan cost to be assessed against the property
benef itted .
The report also contains a description defining the local
improvement district, the properties to be assessed and shows the
desirable scope of the proposed Thompson Park improvement.
THOMPSON PARK IMPROVEMENTS - NEED:
How was the Thompson Park improvement started? Who pays? Survey
results? Willingness to pay?
In an October 26, 1990 City of Kenai survey to residents of the
Thompson Park area, the City requested the Thompson Park residents
1
to answer yes or no as to whether they wanted City water and sewer
to their property and of their willingness to pay. The assumptions
used in the October 26, 1990 survey were as follows:
1. A $1,800 ASSESSMENT,
2. PAYABLE OVER A TEN YEAR PERIOD,
3. A $300 ANNUAL COST.
The January 17, 1991 survey results indicated, of surveys returned,
YES responses covering 108 lots came from 55 surveys; NO responses
covering 43 lots, came from 22 surveys.
Subsequently, in Resolution No. 91-62 regarding the Thompson Park
priority, the City of Kenai made Thompson Park a No. 1 1992 health
hazard priority for legislative grants.
In an October 10, 1991 memorandum, the City administrative staff
revised the average assessment figure to $3,399 per lot ($537,000
for 158 lots.) The reason given: cost estimates increased two
times since the October 1990 estimate. This was based on the total
direct subdivision costs of 2.7 million dollars, amounting to
$17,000 per lot for 158 lots. The total Thompson Park project cost
(including the indirect cost of the Thompson Park interceptor) made
the total $4,500,000.
1. NEED FOR IMPROVEMENTS
Some residents have been reporting problems with water quality from
their wells for years. Others have reported frequent failures of
on -site septic systems. Many of the lots are simply too small to
adequately support septic systems.
Clearly, the need has been initiated from the Thompson Park
residents, and the City Council followed up with substantial grant
funding. Also, the project has increased dramatically in costs
since the origination from the surveys of over three years ago to
the point where the average assessment for the improvements will
exceed $4,000 per lot. This does not include the property owners'
costs of eliminating their existing wells and septic systems and
hooking up to the City's water and sewer main services when built.
(This is estimated to cost approximately $2,000 - 3,000 per lot to
install service lines. This does not include the cost of
abandoning on -site systems.)
Additionally, the owners of the on -site water and sewer systems
will have to abandon their systems. This is a requirement
according to Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation. This
work must be done in the summer of 1994, after the City installs
the Thompson Park water and sewer mains. The property owners will
be notified of this requirement along with the notice of the public
hearing.
2
2. SCOPE OF IMPROVEMENTS
The Thompson Park water and sewer project scope is depicted on the
attached map and draft assessment roll. Basically, it includes
most of Thompson Park Subdivision, plus Additions I and II, Sunset
Rim Part I, and parts of Mack, Beaver Creek, and Valhalla Heights
Part 2. IT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE LOTS IN THOMPSON PARR SUBDIVISION
ALONG THE SPUR HIGHWAY, NOR THOMPSON PLACE.
The City Department of Public Works has estimated the cost of
adding Thompson Park Subdivision along Spur Highway and Thompson
Place to be an additional $442,000. The additional $442,000 is not
available either through grants, special assessments, or
water/sewer fund balance to do these improvements in addition to
the proposed Thompson Park water/sewer improvements.
3. ESTIMATED THOMPSON PARK PROJECT COSTS AND GRANTS
The estimated cost of extending water and sewer lines within
Thompson Park is $2,700,000. Approximately $2,100,000 is from the
State of Alaska; $600,000 is "borrowed" from the City's water and
sewer fund. The City's $600,000 share is the special assessment
portion that will be paid back to the City's water and sewer fund
over a ten (10) year time period, or whatever time period the
Council chooses to spread the assessment roll.
The Thompson Park Interceptor Project is not being assessed. The
Thompson Park Interceptor Project, costing about $1,300,000, will
be financed totally with State grants.
4. THOMPSON PARR PERCENTAGE OF COSTS TO BE ASSESSED 25%:
The City of Kenai intends to assess 25% OF ALL THOMPSON PARR WATER
AND SEWER COSTS RELATED TO THE WATER AND SEWER LINE PROJECT IN
THOMPSON PARR INCLUDING ROAD RECONSTRUCTION IN THOMPSON PARR
SUBDIVISION. Kenai Municipal Code has two limits on assessments:
A. The assessment cannot exceed the value of the benefit to
the property from the improvements.
B. The assessment cannot exceed 25% of the fair market value
(FMV) OF THE PROPERTY AFTER CONSIDERING THE IMPROVEMENTS.
Although value of the benefit might be the increase in
market value, it may also include the intrinsic indirect
values such as a cleaner, safer water or better sanitary
facilities, or better fire protection/water pressure
supply. Furthermore, new water and sewer mains should
improve lot salability, and in the long-term assessing
only 25% of the cost of the project, the assessments
should not exceed the value.
fl
With regard to B above, the attached 25% OF FMV LIMIT ON THE DRAFT
ASSESSMENT ROLL IS ATTACHED. Therefore, in short, THE 25% TEST is
that instead of assessing nearly $675,000 (25% of the cost), the
City of Kenai can only ASSESS APPROXIMATELY $603#000. See the
attached map of the sewer interceptor area and the Thompson Park
area that is shaded that will be serviced by the Thompson Park
water and sewer extension and note the area not yet to be serviced
adjacent to and continuous with the Thompson Park area. Also see
the attached draft preliminary assessment roll for the Thompson
Park water and sewer.
THOMPSON PARK LID/SAD ASSESSMENT SUMMARY:
In summary, the approximate square foot of benefitted property
assessable is 2,427,810 square feet, with a total project cost
estimated in Thompson Park Subdivision at $2,699,999, total
calculated 25% assessment as $675,022, the total estimated special
assessment is $602,987. THE FINAL $602,987 FIGURE I8 THE
CALCULATION THAT THE CITY MANAGER'S REPORT RECOMMENDS SPREADING FOR
THE BENEFIT TO THE THOMPSON PARK SPECIAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICT AS
PERMITTED BY KMC 16.10, AND 16.05.050, 16.05.060, 16.05.080 AND
16.10.070.

SUBJECT: Thompson Park - Water & Sewer
Utility Relocation Costs - L.I.D.
The cost estimate of $2,700,000 that Kenai Public Works received from our engineering
consultants for the Thompson Park Subdivision Water and Sewer lines does not include
any cost for utility line relocations. I have not been involved in the HEA relocation
negotiations. I do not know what to expect concerning who will be paying for utility line
relocates on future projects. When I asked Cary Graves yesterday if we should include
utility line relocation costs in the LID for Thompson Park Water and Sewer, he said he
thought we should.
It is impossible for Public Works to give a very good estimate for utility line relocation
costs since we don't know anything about the lines. I think the costs may be as high as
$100,000 for electrical, gas, telephone, and cable television line relocations. We should
include some amount so that we can show we have considered it as part of the LID. The
actual costs should be used once the final amount is known.

SUBJECT: Pay to Volunteers - AML Conference Booth
Attached is a memo from the City Clerk, along with purchase
orders to pay the AML volunteers.
I have discussed this with the City Attorney and with the
Kenai Peninsula Borough personnel department. Based upon my
knowledge of labor laws and the above discussions, I have
determined that it would be contrary to law to pay these
individuals from any account other than a salary account.
Among other things, these "employees" would have to be
classified as employees to comply with social security,
medicare, unemployment, and workers compensation
requirements.
If they are to be paid, the following actions will be
necessary:
1) Locate or create the proper salary and benefit
accounts.
2) Appropriate money to those accounts.
3) Issue a waiver for not following proper hiring
procedures in the Supervisor's Handbook.
4) Prepare personnel transaction forms.
5) Have the employees come to City Hall and complete
hiring forms (I-9, W-4, etc).
6) Issue payroll checks, withholding FICA, etc.

income.13 In another case (Helvering v. Horst), the Supreme Court ruled that an
individual who gave his son interest coupons, which were detached from bonds that
he owned, was liable for the tax on the interest accrued before the gift and later paid
to his son.14 Generally, an individual can escape tax on income from property only 9
the individual makes a valid gift or assignment of the income -producing property
(see 1706, below, however) itself as distinguished from an assignment of the income.
706. Unearned Income of Minor Child. The use of intra-family transfers of,
income -producing property to reduce income tax liability by shifting income)
from the parent's high marginal tax rate to a child's generally lower tax bracket,
(Code Sec. l(i)) is greatly limited before the child reaches age 14.15 Instead, a child's+
net unearned income in excess of an inflation -adjusted dollar amount ($600 for
1992), reduced by the child's standard or itemized deductions allocated to such
income, is subject to tax at the top marginal tax rate of his or her parents. Since the i
applicable standard deduction (under the provisions of Code Sec. 63(c))16 is $600 for
1992 (or the amount of the child's earned income) only unearned income of a minor
child in excess of $1,200 will be taxed at the parents' rates. This provision applies to
children who have not reached age 14 before the close of the tax year and have either
parent living at the close of such year.
Example. A six -year -old child has $1,500 of unearned income and no
earned income. His standard deduction of $600 is allocated against his
unearned income, so that his net unearned income equals $900. The first
$600 of that amount is taxed at the child's tax rate, while the remaining
$300 of unearned income is taxed at the top rate of his parents.
The marginal tax rate of the parent with the greater amount of taxable income
will apply in the case of married individuals filing separately. In the case of divorced
parents, the custodial parent's taxable income is taken into account in determining'
the child's tax liability. The tax applies to a child's unearned income regardless of
source and requires a calculation of the parents' allocable tax (defined in Code Sec.
l(ix3)).t1
The parent of a child under the age of 14 may elect to include the gross income
of the child in excess of $1,000 in his or her income for the tax year.18 See 1114.

or loss upon its sale) is divided between (or among) the owners insofar as each is.
entitled, under state law, to share in the income.19 There must be evidence that the
joint ownership was bona fide and not used merely as a tax -avoidance scheme. These
rules also apply to tenants in common 20
710. Community Property Income. In community property states (Arizona,
California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, and Washington.
(under the provisions of the Wisconsin Marital Property Reform Act, the rights of
spouses in Wisconsin may also be considered community property rights 21)), the
property acquired by a husband and wife after their marriage is generally regarded
as owned by them in community, and income from such property is community
income divisible equally between them. Although each state has exceptions in
classifying income as separate or community property, the general rule is that
salaries, wages, and other compensation for the services of either or both the
husband and wife are community income. But it does not follow that in every state
income from separate property is separate income. The states also differ in their
treatment of property acquired by inheritance or intestate succession. However, the
IRS can disallow the benefits of any community property law to a spouse for any

194 U.S. Master Tax Guide
Under the claim -of -right doctrine, a taxpayer receiving income under a claim of
right and without restrictions is taxable on that income in the year received even
though his right to retain the income is not yet fixed or he may later be required to
return it (see 115448
Compensation is income even though the amount is not fixed in advance, as in
the case of marriage fees, baptismal offerings, and like sums received by a member
of the clergy.9 A Christmas bonus is usually taxable, particularly if based on salary
or length of service. The value of a turkey, ham, or other nominally valued item
distributed to an employee on holidays need not be reported as income even though
the employer is entitled to deduct the cost as a business expense. However, a
distribution of cash, a gift certificate, or a similar item of value readily convertible
to cash must be included in the employee's income.10 Severance pay, vacation pay,
and the like are taxable as compensation.
The amount of compensation to be reported on the return is the gross amount
before any reductions for withheld income tax or Social Security taxes, dues,
insurance, or other deductions by the employer. One or more of these reductions
(such as union dues) might be allowable deductions under some conditions, but they
do not reduce the amount of gross income reported.
Fringe Benefits. Certain fringe benefits may be excluded from an employee's
gross income. See 1863. Benefits such as air flights, cars, computers, educational
benefits, entertainment (see 1910), or travel (see 1951) may be excludable as
working condition fringe benefits. However, these benefits may be includible in
income to the extent the employee uses them for personal purposes.
In general, an employee is required to include in income the amount by which
the fair market value of a fringe benefit exceeds the sum of (1) the amount, if any,
paid for the benefit, and (2) the amount, if any, specifically excluded by some other
provision of the law.
Special valuation rules are provided for determining the taxable value of
certain types of benefits. The value of the personal use of an employer -provided car
may be computed either under annual lease value tables or under standard cents.
per -mile rates established by the IRS. The annual lease value of an automobile is
computed by first determining the fair market value of the automobile on the first
date it was made available to any employee for personal use. Under a safe -harbor
provision, the employer's cost can be substituted for FMV, provided certain condi-
tions are met. Once the FMV is established, the Annual Lease Value Table, prepared
by the IRS, is consulted to determine the annual lease value that corresponds to the
FMV. (This table appears at 15906 of CCH STANDARD FEDERAL TAX REPORTS and
at 181 of the loose leaf edition of the U.S. MASTER TAX GUIDE.) The annual lease
values include the FMV of maintenance and insurance for the automobile, but do
not include the cost of gasoline provided by the employer. The fuel provided can be
valued either at its FMV or at 5.5 cents per mile for all miles driven within the
United States by the employee. If certain requirements are met, the use of an
employer -provided commuting vehicle is valued at $1.50 each way per employee
(Reg. § 1.61-21(d)),It Air flights on noncommercial aircraft are valued under a
formula provided by the IRS (Reg. § 1.61-21(g)) and based on Standard Industry
Fare Level (SIFL) flight mileage rates, a terminal charge and the weight of the
aircraft.12
Other includible benefits include golden parachute payments (see 1907) and
moving expense reimbursements (see 11073). The value of stock or other property
provided to employees subject to certain restrictions is includible, but not until the
restrictions are removed (see 11931), unless the recipient elects to recognize income

upon receipt. That portion of an employee's vacation, athletic club, or health resort
expenses that is paid o. , t,, employer is also taxable to the employee.13
Cafeteria Plans. Employer contributions under written "cafeteria" plans are
excludable from the income of participants to the extent that they choose qualified
benefits. See 1861.
714. Compensation of Federal or State Employee. The salaries of all employees x
or officials of the United States Government are taxed the same as those of
other individuals. This is also true for state and local government employees.14
715. Treatment of Excessive Salaries. Although an employer will be denied a
deduction for compensation paid to the extent that the payments constitute
unreasonable compensation, the full amount of the payment is nonetheless includible
In the income of the recipient. In the case of an employee -shareholder, the excess
Amounts may be treated as dividend income. Excessive salaries are taxed only to the
extent of the gain if the excess amounts are determined to be payments to the
recipient for property rather than compensation.15
716. Social Security and Equivalent Railroad Retirement Benefits. A portion
of a taxpayer's social security benefits or equivalent portion of tier 1 railroad
retirement benefits may be taxable. The amount of benefits that must be included in
Income is the lesser of one-half of the annual benefits received or one-half of the
excess of the taxpayer's combined income over a specified base amount. The
combined income is the taxpayer's modified adjusted gross income plus one-half of
the social security or tier 1 railroad retirement benefits. Modified adjusted gross
Income is the taxpayer's adjusted gross income plus (a) any tax-exempt interest,
including interest earned on savings bonds used to finance higher education, and (b)
amounts earned in a foreign country, a U.S. possession, or Puerto Rico that are
excluded from gross income (12401-2415).
The taxpayer's base amount is: (a) $32,000 if married individual filing jointly,
(b) zero if married ue at
any time during thetyear, and (c) $25ng separately andt000tfor any other filing statuse(Codes
Sec.
86).tb
Example. John and Jane Mapes have an adjusted gross income of
$24,000 for 1992. John, who is retired, receives social security benefits of
$7,2W per year. The couple also receives $6,000 a year from a mutual
fund that invests solely in tax-exempt municipal bonds. On their joint
return for 1992, the Mapes would make the following computation to
determine how much (if any) of John's social security benefits must be
included in their gross income:
(1) Adjustctil gross income ................................ $24,000
(2) Plus: All tax-exempt interest .......... • ...... • ... • . • ... 6,W0
(3) Modified adjusted gross income ............... • ......... $30,000
(4) Plus: One-half of social security benefits .................. 3,600
(5) "Combined income" ....................... . ........ . . $33,600
(6) Less: Base amount ...... • ............................ 32,000
(7) Excess above base amount ............ • .. • .. • . • ........ $ 1,600
(8) One-half of excess above base amount .................. • . $ 800
(9) One-half of social security benefits ...................... 3,600
(10) Amount includible in gross income (lesser of (8) or (9)) ...... $ 800
Although tier 2 railroad retirement benefits are not taken into account under
the above rules, such benefits are taxed in the same manner as benefits paid under
private employer retirement plans (Code Sec. 72(r)).17

Tax
2648. FICA Tax Rates. Under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act, an
employer is required to withhold social security taxes (including hospital
insurance tax) from wages paid to an employee during the year and must also match
the tax withheld from the employee's wages. For 1992 and 1993, the combined tax
rate is 7.65%, which consists of a 6.2% component for old age, survivors, and
disability insurance (OASDI) and a 1.45% component for hospital insurance (medi-
care). The OASDI rate applies to wages paid within an OASDI wage base and the
medicare rate applies to wages within the medicare wage base. For 1992, the OASDI
wage base is $55,500 and the medicare wage base is $130,200. For 1993, the OASDI
wage base is $57,000 and the medicare wage base is $135,000 (Code Sec. 3101).11
If an employee works for more than one employer, each employer must
withhold and pay FICA taxes on the wages paid. In such instance, the employee's
FICA tax withheld for the year might exceed the maximum employee tax for the
year. If this happens, the employee must take the excess as a credit against his
income tax (see ¶ 1372 as to limitation) (Reg. § 1.31-2)18 or, if he is not required to
file an income tax return, he may file a special refund claim (Reg. § 31.6413(c)-1).19
The same rule applies to taxes withheld under the Railroad Retirement Tax Act.
If an individual is concurrently employed by two or more related corporations
and all remuneration is disbursed to the individual through the common paymaster
for the group, the common paymaster is responsible for the reporting and payment
of FICA and FUTA taxes. However, the other related corporations remain jointly
and severally liable for their appropriate share of the taxes (Reg. § 31.3121(s)-1).
In the case of persons performing domestic services in a private home of the
employer and persons performing agricultural labor, if the employer pays the
employee's liability for FICA taxes or state unemployment taxes without deduction
from the employee's wages, those payments are not wages for FICA purposes (Code
Sec. 3121(ax6)), but they are wages for income tax withholding purposes (Reg.
§ 31.3401(a}l(bx6); see ¶ 2601).20
Return and Payment by Employer
2650. Employer Return and Deposit of Taxes. An employer subject to either
income tax withholding or social security taxes, or both, must file a quarterly
return. Form 941 is the quarterly return form, which combines the reporting of
income and FICA taxes withheld from wages, tips, annuities, supplemental unem-
ployment compensation benefits, and third -party payments of sick pay (12604).
However, taxes on wages for household services in a nonfarm home may be reported
on Form 942. Taxes on wages for agricultural employees, including domestic services
on a farm operated for profit, are reported annually on Form 943.
Generally, an employer must deposit the income tax withheld and the FICA
taxes with an authorized commercial bank depositary or a Federal Reserve bank.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Williams and Kenai City Council
FROM: Thomas J. Manninen, City Manager
DATE: November 23, 1993
RE: Christmas Decorations
At the November 17 regular City Council meeting, the Council went
on record to purchase Christmas decorations for the Kenai Spur and
other areas in town. In the recent budget years, the Christmas
decorations have been spent down or cut out of the City's budget.
Therefore, when the Department of Public Works put up the
decorations there was a shortage of working lights, bulbs and
decorations.
At the November 17 meeting, City Parks Director Kayo McGillivray
made a presentation of the Council. It was clear by the City
Council that they wanted to spend up to $4,000 to get these
decorations as soon as possible. As of Monday, November 22, I was
advised by City staff it would be $5,700 to get these delivered.
I also was advised by the Finance Director that it was illegal to
spend that unauthorized money.
I met with the Finance Director and the Parks and Recreation
Director and signed a purchase order for up to $4,000 that was
appropriated per the City Council's action at the November 17
meeting. However, I was later advised that these lights would not
be delivered until two weeks later. THIS MEANS THAT IT MISSES THE
CHRISTMAS COMES TO KENAI THIS COMING FRIDAY AFTER THANKSGIVING.
Although this is the case, these decorations will be delivered and
in place this Christmas season.
DOES THE CITY COUNCIL WISH TO CONTINUE THE CITY'S SUPPLYING
DECORATIONS OR TO HAVE THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE/KENAI BICENTENNIAL
VISITORS CENTER OR OTHERS WITH PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY SUPPLY
DECORATIONS AND THE CITY PROVIDE INSTALLATION/LABOR?
In addition, the Visitors Center has asked the City to put up their
Christmas decorations. I have instructed the Public Works
Department to put them up this year. DOES THE COUNCIL WANT THE
CITY TO DO THIS IN THE FUTURE? Other suggestions are that the
Visitors Center or Chamber of Commerce put them up.
cc: Parks and Recreation Director Kayo McGillivray, be advised to
expedite the final delivery of these materials and to
coordinate placing of these Christmas decorations on the poles
when delivered. Thank you for your help.

RE: Christmas Decoration Transformers
On November 23, 1993 the streets foreman reported that there were seven transformers burned
out on poles that had Christmas decorations hung on them. AirTek was contacted and a cost
figure of $3,290 was quoted. As we have money in the budget for this repair, a purchase order
was filled out for the repair. The amount is over $1,000 so it must go to Council for approval.
However, the transformers had to be ordered from California. After discussion with the City
Manager and the Public Works Director, I gave the okay to AirTek to order the transformers so
work could begin on the poles as soon after the Council meeting as possible. I hope this action
meets with Council approval.

RE: DRAFT TRI-BOROUGH POSITION PAPER
PROPOSED FEDERAL OIL & GAS LEASE SALE 1149
I recently had dinner with several executives from Marathon Oil.
They expressed concern that if State Lease Sale #78 fails and
produces any evidence of conflict and disagreement, Secretary of
Interior Babbit will cancel Federal Lease Sale #149. If this
happens, it will also discontinue any future lease sales,
exploration and drilling in the Lower Cook Inlet.

TRI-BOROUGH POSITION PAPER
FEDERAL OIL i GAS-LEASL" BALE 149
The United States Department of Interior is preparing for
off -shore oil and gas Lease Sale No. 149 in the Lower Cook
Inlet and Shelikoff Strait planning area of offshore Alaska.
The proposed lease sale area is included in or contiguous
with the boundaries of Kenai Peninsula Borough, Kodiak
Island Borough, and Lake and Peninsula Borough. The three
boroughs have met together to discuss the proposed Lease
Sale and have jointly agreed to the following position with
regard to the Federal OCS Lease Sale 149.
The Tri-Borough position is that five critical issues must
be addressed in fhe lease sale's environmental impact
statement, and specifically addressed in the terms and
conditions in any proposed notice of sale. If the five
issues are not addressed in the lease sale review process,
the Tri-Boroughs have grave reservations about supporting
the lease sale. These five items are in addition to any
other issues that might surface in the federal government's
environmental impact statement process. The Tri-Boroughs
reserve the right to identify any additional concerns which
may need to be addressed as an outcome of the environmental
impact statement process. Following is a summary of the
Tri-Boroughs' position on each of the five issues.
P. 03
The lower Cook inlet -and particularly the Shelikoff Strait
area comprise some of the most dangerous navigable waters in
the entire world. The seas in this area are highly
unpredictable and subjsct to extreme weather changess,
unusual currents, rogue tides and waves. This feature of
Shelikoff strait waters makes off -shore loading of tankers
particularly dangerous, posing an extremely high risk of an
oil spill while attempting to load a tanker in these waters.
The position of the Tri-Boroughs is that any recoverable oil
must be pumped to an onshore facility where adequate
protected dockage can be provided to allow the safe loading
of tankers and
minimize
theoilogeneratsd by thf ill
saleduring
the loading process
1
NOV-23_93 TUE 10:52 _ KPB CLERK i FAX NO. 9072628615
P. 04
The avoidance of conflicts with the commercial fishing fleet
and their gear is absolutely mandatory in these waters. The
Lower Cook Inlet and Shelikoff Strait support an extremely
rich fishery resource which generates a great deal of
fishing activity on a year-round basis. These year-round
fisheries are the primary economic base of the entire region
and therefore must be protected to the greatest extent
possible, including an absolute minimum of disruption. The
Tri-Boroughs require that any oil exploration or development
proposed in the region have up front plans to eliminate
conflicts within the fishing industry in order to minimize
any negative impact on the fishing industry. This includes
critical time periods when no drilling activity would be
allowed to occur due to spawning activity and crab molt of
the crab in the areas in and around the drilling platforms.
in addition, all support anchors and anchor lines must be
buoyed and clearly charted indicating the location of all
lines and cables with associated drill rigs -and/or
development platforms. This information should be clearly
identified and published on a regular basis so that the
fishing industry will be fully aware of the location of this
equipment and can, therefor, avoid any possible conflicts.
It is in the best interest of the oil industry as well as
the fishing industry to avoid negative impacts from drill
rigs and/or development platforms on fishing gear and
resources.
Based on the experience of the Exxon -Valdez oil spill, the
Tri-Boroughs are determined that adequate spill prevention
and response capabilities shall be specifically identified
in exploration and development proposals for Lease sale No.
149. Input from the Cook Inlet Regional Citizens Advisory
Council could be used to help determine the adequacy of
spill prevention and response capability. At a minimum, a
vessel with adequate amounts of boom and response capability
should be on site during the exploratory and pre -development
phases. Upon completion of exploratory drilling, and during
the production of any successful well, prevention and
response capability should include readily available
response equipment and labor which can be deployed on site
in a matter of minutes.
FAX N0, 9072628615 P. 05
4. Identif ic&Uon of =i j ical Habitat Areas -
As a precursor to spill prevention and response that may be
needed in the future, the Tri-Boroughs require that critical
habitat areas be identified during the environmental impact
statement phase of the lease sale process at a minimum
before any actual exploration occurs in the Lease Sale No.
149 area. This habitat identification process must involve
the land owners and users, the managers of fish, game and
wildlife resources, such as the Alaska Department of Fish
and Game, and the Federal Fish & Wildlife service, as well
as representatives of the fishing industry and local
governments. Idantification •of critical habitat should
include a prioritization for habitat protection, given the
location of a particular spill, as well as identification of
critical habitat that can not practically be protected in
the event of a spill. Further, the identification of
critical habitat areas must be a public process that allows
residents of the region to have input into and an
opportunity to review and critique the proposed critical
habitat protection priority prior to final adoption. once
identified, critical habitat and known coastal resources
must become part of the municipalities GIS systems for easy
map retrieval and updating.
The Tri-Boroughs have extensively discussed and agree that a
mandatory requirement for moving ahead with Lease Sale No.
149 is the provision for revenue sharing back to the
boroughs from OCS impact assistance revenues collected by
the federal government. These funds are necessary because
the three boroughs will have impacts from an influx of
population demanding additional municipal services such as
of police, fire, road service, parks and recreation,
education, solid waste disposal, etc. The history of
municipal service provision shows that revenues always lag
behind the demand for services. The only reasonable way to
approach this problem without placing an undue burden on the
existing tax bass is to provide for revenue sharing within
two hundred mikes of any exploration site. Although the
three boroughs recognize that there is a potential for
federal revenues to be shared with the State of Alaska, it
is clear that revenue sharing to the state does not
necessarily assure that these funds are shared with local
governments. Therefore, it is mandatory that legislation be
introduced and passed in Congress that allows for revenue
sharing with the three boroughs in order to provide the
financial resources needed to deal with the impact of Lease
Sale Ho, 149.

NOV-23-93 TUE 10:54 KPB CLERK FAX NO. 9072628615 P,06
Conclusion/summa=
The position of the Tri-Boroughs is that all five of these
items must be addressed in the Notice of Sale for proposed
Lease Sale No. 149. We look forward to the opportunity to
discuss and further develop these concepts with
organizations and individuals interested in Lease Sale No.

RE: JOINT CITY/STATE PROJECT: BOARDWALK, ISTEA ENHANCEMENT
FUNDS
In the discussion last week with Neil Johannsen, Division of Parks
and Outdoor Recreation Director, he indicated his willingness to
work with the City of Kenai on a joint boardwalk project, sponsored
by Kenai and to be funded eventually through the ISTEA enhancement
monies. The ISTEA monies are the 10% set aside for enhancement
allowing State trunk lines provided for by the federal funding
source.
Mr. Johannsen's premise was that he thought this probably would be
the first such project jointly sponsored between a State agency and
the City, that would go back to Mr. Campbell's office for review
and approval. As such, he felt that it would stand a higher chance
of being funded than the stand alone project for enhancement by the
City of Kenai for the same or similar improvements.
Please advise and follow through with this request and contact the
staff people at Neil Johannsen's office to follow through with the
application procedures through ISTEA to make a joint request for
boardwalk funding by the Warren Ames Bridge area. Mr. Johannsen's
staff will be sending a copy to the City of Kenai of the proposed
boardwalk.
Please review, revise and coordinate the application process with
Mr. Johannsen and advise me when it is ready to present to the City
Council for their approval. Also, if you have any questions along
the way, please advise me.
Mayor Williams and I discussed this matter with Neil Johannsen last
week at the RDC conference in Anchorage as one of our meetings. By
copying the City Council with this memorandum I am advising them of
the contents of that recommendation and I concur with utilizing the
ISTEA funds as a funding source for this project.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Tom Manninen, City Manager
FROM: Keith Kornelis, Public Works Director
DATE: November 30, 1993
SUBJECT: ISTEA Funds
FOR: Council meeting of December 1, 1993 - Item H-7
As a member of the Kenai Peninsula Borough Technical Committee for ISTEA, I
suggested the following projects for ISTEA funding:
1. Kenai Old Town Street Renovation (Mission Street paving)
2. Forest Drive Reconstruction
These projects were presented to our City Council on March 3, 1993, along with Kenai
Peninsula Borough (K.P.B.) Resolution 93-18. This resolution was the K.P.B.'s project
priority list and it included the Kenai Old Town Street Renovation.
The K.P.B. Technical Committee spent a lot of time detailing needed projects and
prioritizing them. These recommendations went to the K.P.B. Policy Committee who
reviewed them and made a recommendation to the K.P.B. Assembly which passed K.P.B.
Resolution 93-18. There were a lot of people from throughout the Borough involved in
setting the K.P.B. recommended ISTEA project priority list.
In September, the K.P.B. and cities were notified that the local involvement with ISTEA
funding had changed. The commissioner and DOT/PF are using the ISTEA funding for
their Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).
A couple of months ago, I gave Council and you a copy of Mike McKinnon's letter of
September 21, 1993 with the STIP draft list of priorities. The Kenai Peninsula projects
are on pages 2, 3, 8, 9, 20, 21, 27, 32, & 33, which I have attached. I can make
additional copies of the full list if you or the Council would like another copy.
Page 2
11/29/93
ISTEA Funds
Please note on page 20, under priority 2, the Kenai River Flats Interpretive Site Project.
This must have been submitted by State D.N.R., Division of Parks and Outdoor
Recreation. It is described as improving the rest stop near the Warren Ames Memorial
Bridge. This is presently a state owned, operated, and maintained rest stop.
According to your memo, Mr. Johannsen's staff will be sending a copy of the proposed
boardwalk. If Council wants to pursue this, after I receive this information, I will contact
them to see exactly what they want from the City. Unfortunately, if this becomes a City
project we may end up operating and maintaining it in the future.
I don't think there is an application process for ISTEA or STIP funding. I think it is just
making a request which evidently the State DNR must have already done since it is
already on the STIP list.

Salmon Fishing on the
Sakhalin Island Disrupted
A joke of the nature or senseless fishing?
W ll W11111" no WLTW
The specialists of
'Sakhalinribvod", the organization
controlling fishing and production
of sea -products, believe that the
fishing-93 may prove to be the
beginning of the end of the entire
salmon undustry in the region
because of the erroneous fishing
policy and neglect toward the fish
protection agencies.
On August 25 Leonid Nesterov,
the first deputy of the
"Sakhelnribvod" issued an order
to remove fishing nets along the
entire coast of the southern and
central parts of the island. in his
opinion this was caused by
erroneous prediction of the
scientists.
The scientists predicted and
entry of over 63 thousand tonnes
of salmon, but only 33 thousand
tonnes have been produced. The
rivers, where natural spawning
takes piece, where field by 30-40
% , and in order to replenish
salmon, a decision was made to
remove fishing nets.
According to the
'Sakhalinribvod's" experts, there
exist several reasons for such
unexpected disruption of saloon
fishing. First of all, during the
spawning of 1991 (the time when
gorbushe generation came back to
its native coast), numerous high
waters procluded female species to
lay eggs normally. The entry of fish
in 1991 was so great that chahore
fish processing plants tailed to
work all the salmon produced. The
fish was kept in fishing nets where
it simply died. In view of this, the
authorities of town and districts of
the Sakhalin region permitted the
population to fish salmon without
any control.
The Sakhalin population
responded very strangely to such a
permission: they caught fish in
rivers. removed its caviar and
threw away fish most. This was
how the natural process of laying
out eggs was undermined. It
should be noted that only 20 % of
sairnon on the Sakhalin Island are
produced artificially while the rest
are produced by natural way.
In 1992 the escape of young
salmon spiciea into the open sea
was also unsuccessful. But the
malt reason was that the
authorities did not pay sufticbnt
attention to the artificial fish
production.
All this led to the fact that the
'big-fish-93" failed to appear at all
on the Sakhalin Island.
Speaking about the damage
made by the illegal fishing, Leonid
Nesterov noted that "the
Government does nothing to
improve our work. There are no
means to maintain the existing fish
producing plants, not speaking
even about the new construction
projects".
He believes that "if the current
situation is not improved in the
nearest future, nobody knows whet
will happen to salmon fishing on
the Sakhalin Island'.

Twenty Per Cent of .Russian Deputies Show
Indications of Psychic Disturbanses
According to the Social -
Economic research institute
of the Russian Academy of
Sciences, for the last few
years the death toll of the
people died because of the
psychic illnesses increased
by 26,5 %.
The scientists report that
new social layers of the
Russian population of
frequently filled up with
people having different
psychic anomalies. So, about
20 % of the currently elected
deputies of all levels and the
officials of the executive
power are suffering from the
so-called bouritlary psychic
disturbanses that effect
considerably their desicions.
The unstable social
economic situation in the
country is directly responsible
for a growth of suicide - by
33 % for five years.
Moreover, most suicides are
attributed to an interval 30 -
39 years. Of great concearn
is also the fact that suicides
are committed by children at
the age from five to nine
years.
One of the consequanoes of
the poor social economic
position in Russia is that the
kids and teenagers
demonstrate a keen interest
to alcohol and drugs. It was
estimated that in 1992 some
20 % of school -children from
14 to 18 years take alcohol
and 5 % drug adicts. The
author of the report conclude
that the known indifference of
the adults to the Childrens'
problems led to the fact that
the teenagers appeared to be
in a direct contract with the
organized network of drug
distribution. The future of the
Russian population is in
danger.
Japan is not the Only Trade Partner for Sakhalin
According to the Sakhalin
Statistics dept., during the
first sox months of this year
fro regional enterprises
exported goods and
services in the total sum of
US D 55,5 million.
The main export - 96% of
total volume is as ever raw
materials resources and 86%
of them is fish and sea -
products.
The joint ventures acting in
the region provided enternal
market with products in US D
21 million. In this case the
most part of 95% is seafood
export. JVs soled to foreign
consumers 15,838 tonnes of
fish and seafood, 4,092
tonnes of oil, 1,938 tonnes of
Japanese sticks for eating as
well as services in US D
682,000.
As for import it has
reached the sum of US D
59,9 million during sox months
of the present year or US D
19A million more than during
the same period of the last
year. Such provisions as
sugar, meat as well as light
and radio industries products,
machines and eguipment
including sea -going ships
were delivered in the region.
Import increased by 2.4 times
during this year.
The foreign trade
geography was also changed.
Asiatic and Pac fir region
countries share in trading is
51,7% now, Japan is still a
major partner in the foreign
trade relations and export to
this country is by 2,6 times
more than import. However,
at the same time, export to
Vietnam increased by 1.2
times as well as deliveries to
Singapore and North Korea
are enlarged. Import volume
of the USA, China, Vietnam,
Singapore grew too.
Expansion of commodity
turnover with the European
countries took place as well.
Ninety Three Sakhalin Koreans came Back
to Their Historically Native Land
A spokeman of the
Sakhalin administration
informed that In 1992-93 a
total of 93 persons at the
age from 65 to 85 left the
Sakhalin Island for South
Korea. Seventy seven elderly
reside now in the nursery
home kept at the expence
of the church while sixteen
live with found relatives.
Almost all of them, who
were brought to the Sakhalin
Island by Japan before the
World War 11, allegedly
acknowledged that they left
for their Motherland to die.
However, the life appeared
more complicated than the
human thought: the death
does not come by order, and
many Korean elderly people
feel now nostalgy for the
island where they have spent
half a century.
Fifteen emmigrants visited
Sakhalin in -mid August.
However, the joy of meeting
suddenly turned sour. One of
the former Sakhalin
inhabitants committed a
suicide being unable to
choose one Motherland of
two.

The Sakhalin Shed Developmen
Projects Will Became the Part of the
Sakhalin Gas Provision Program
by 10ChaR BUUY :N
The Economic
Department of the Sakhalin
Administration has
recently started
preparation of the Gas
Provision Program for
Sakhalin, in accordance
with the corresponding
presidential decree, that
was signed in March.
1992.
This Program has
appeared because of the
complicated situation in
coal Industry of Sakhalin
in
in particular, a harmful
environmental impact of
coal, when used as fuel.
The transfer of the
industrial enterprises and
power generating facilities
to the gas fuel
consumption will require
the tremendeous financing
for the infractructure
construction. All of the
shelf development projects
will become the part of the
Program on Gas Provision.
Victor Sirenko, Head of
the Sakhalin
Administration's Economic
Department has advised
the "FSN" reporter as
follows:" We have begun
debating this Program
before the presidential
decree is signed. We had
some proposal of local
industrial entities
regarding implamentation
of the Program.
Enfortunately, my
colleagues in the
Administration, including
Valentin Fedorov, the
former Governor, did not
suppot me. The most
reluctant were the ofnaials
from the Fuel and Energy
Ministry. We received two
letters from Moscow,
prohibiting further
development of the
Program, "in order to
observe the interests of the
foreign consortiums and
not to interfere with a
very serious work of the
Government on this
matter".
The situation around the
tender was extremely
complicated. Numerous

Mafia in Russia
bQ "on 6YMM"N
Mafia in Italy was generated as a
result of struggle between classes,
in the USA the source of Mafia
activity was the so-called dry law,
and in Russia the current criminal
business spang up on the basis of
the centralized system of goods
distribution.
The 1917 revolution in Russia
was executed by well -disciplined,
militarized and well -controlled
organization of bolsheveks. This
group of conspirators would have
never kept political power a it had
not found effective outside-ot-
economics levers for the
community control. The centralized
goods distribution became the
most important of these levers.
Vladimir Lenin put forward and
performed his idea of so-called
food -procurement squads: armeo
people went to villages, took food-
stuffs away from peasants and
accumulated them in large
storehouses. Part of the food was
sent to towns and given out to the
workers furnished with special
cards, the other part was given
back to the same peasants but
only with the permission of food -
procurement squads commissars.
The supply of resources of the
entire economy of the country was
centralized in the same manner. A
gigantic vertical system of food
distribution was created withih lew
months because of which a single
bureaucrat could cause the
starvation of the regions. Thus,
several super -dictators have
equired an unquestioning
obedience of millions of people.
During subsequent decades this
system was getting tougher and
tougher and at last It reached the
absolute: enterprises of all the
republics gave all their products at
the disposal of the bureaucratic
machinery. A powerful system of
trusts, associations and Ministries
came into existence, all of them
aiming at the single goal -total
uncontrolled distribution of goods.
All of these served as an extremely
rich soil for corruption that has
achieved a nation-wide scale.
The most prestigious in this
hierarchy were the leadership posts
in CPSU machinery. The so-called
profitable posts in the Government
trade system occupied the second
place (nevertheless maybe the
first). Since the centralization of
economy has drastically reduced
the quantity, and what is more
important, the quality of industry
products, all Soviet goods became
considerably worse than those
produced abroad. Moreover, food-
stuffs shortage increased with
every year. Therefore, the officials
among the bureaucratic elite
controlling distribution of food -stuff
and imported goods became the
most respected V.I.P. A person

a party boss with products had

epoch and the western Mafia. If in

syndicates, in the USSR, on the
contrary, the leaders of the trade
clans held key positions in
managing both of the criminal
world and the Government. As to
the classical criminal structures
engaged in drug sales and
robberies, they played a secondary
role and existed only to the extend
at which their services were
needed by "god -fathers" from the
trade Mafia.
This explains the fierce
resistance on behalf of the party -
trade bureaucracy to the
democratic changes in the Soviet
society. Any control exerted by the
democratic society was disastrous
to the system where posts and
privileges began to hand down.
Nevertheless, the smartest guys
from the "white" (trade) Mafia
realized irreversibility of the
changes just immediately. That is
why long before passing official
laws the process of underground
privatization of property began.
Rapidly created private firms were
becoming at first tenants and then
owners of party buildings, network
of state shops, hotels and
enterprises of public catering.
Thousands of agencies and

are licenses for export of salmon
and delicate sea -food).
Nevetheless, as soon as the clan
interests change to private
interests the "white" Mafia started
to split itself from the inside which
deepened with the cessation of the
popularity of the mediators. Those
few who showed the characteristics
of the interpreners started to invest
money into the production field.
The rest who became bankrupts
after the mediatory business
turned into the more criminal
activities, up to the drug business,
prostitution and arm sell. This is
the way how the latter started to
invade the interest of the resent
servants from the "black"
(classically criminal Mafia).
The representatives of the
criminal Mafia also changed. The
fall of the power of the former
masters has put an end to the
only controlling factor limiting the
activity of the criminals. Since the
legal bodies in the USSR engaged
in prosecution of dissidents and
protection of people in power
never in fact controlled the criminal
world. The country witnessed
unprecedented growth of criminal
activities, while the freedom of the
business initiative allowed the
criminals to act almost in the open
under the sign of private
enterprises (naturally, trade
intermediatory units).
Thus, two types of organized
crime in Russia have interwinned to
such an extent at the present time
that they turned into a conglomerat
consisting of intermediary
agences, export-import
companies, firms and criminal
bands. The yesterday's bandits are

businessmen, yesterday's party -
trade bosses are becoming bandits
- and all this is gradually becoming

No churches have been kept

before the October Revolution,
the religion was an important

Sakhalin and the $urns
have a unique history of the
religion. From ancient times

During the 19-th and 20-th

The Russians arrived in
Sakhalin at the second half of
the 19-th century. The first
Russian settlements were

called Due and Kusunatski.
Originally, small garrisons of
Russian sailors were
accommodated there.
By the time when the
Russians arrived In Sakhalin,
the native population was
from b to 8 thousand people.
Their nomad camps were
located mostly in the coastal
area. Internal timberlands of
the Island have not been
developed.
Pursuant to the Shimod
treaty, from 1888 until 1878,
Sakhalin was under joint
authority of Russia and Japan.
Permanent Japanese
population in Sakhalin was
less than a hundred. In
summer and autumn, when
the season fishermen arrived
from Hokkaido, the quantity
of the Japanese in Sakhalin
has been increased.
It was a unique case, when
so different nations have been
gathered in a common
territory. raoh of them had
their own culture, language,
religion, lifestyle. The majority
of Russian people arrived in
Sakhalin from central and
southern parts of Russia and
were the followers of the
Orthodoxy In Japan, the
Christianity was prohibited in
the 18-th oentury and was
under persecution of the
monarchy.
No conflicts, related to the
religion have happened
between the Russians and
Japanese. The Russians
were curious about other
faith and had good attitude
to the churches of the
Japanese. The Russian
Orthodox Church was very
helpful in the political
disputes' settlement, as well.
Unlike good religion
relations with the Japanese,
the' Russian missionaries had
many troubles with the
natives.
Below is a quotation from
the book "Eight years in
Sakhalin" written by the
politioal prisoner, Ivan
Yuvaohev. "The Sakhalin
gi),yaks (niphs) are very
reluctant to adopt the
Christianity. Some people
believe, that it is in connection
with a lack of development. In
that ease, the gUyaks present
a strong contrast to all nations
of the North Pacific.
The Russian missionaries, as
well as those from other
countries, are very happy with

Christianity in the Japanese,

nation can consciously adopt a
religion, if it has suffered a
sorrow, as the Judos in
Babylon captivity or Russians

yoke. On the other hand, when
the Russians arrived, the
gilyaks have lost an
opportunity to locate their
jurts wherever they want,

was differ from the official
doctrine. People were revolted
agatnst the greediness of some
of the priests, their worthless
everyday manner.
Although the people were
the Christians who believe in
Jesus Christ, they also believe
in water -sprite, goblins, -eta.
Additionally, the majority of
the first Russians in Sakhalin
were the prisoners and were
not too pious. The "Vostoohni
Vestnik" magazine wrote in
1902: "The sakhalinite very
seldom takes off his cap when
passes by a ahuroh, but he
does that with reverence when
goes to a bucket of vodka".
After the Ruaslan�Iapanese
war of 1904-1908, moat of the
people have left the Island and
an activity of the Russian
Orthodox Church in Sakhalin
was terminated for a matter of
years.
A small Orthodox parish has
been kept only in Shlkotan,
one of the Kuril Islands, that
is at present a part of the so
called "north territories". In
1880's some of the ains,
former Russia's citizens, were
repatriated to 8hikotan from
the North Kuril . They have
kept Russian names given
them after the christening for
decades.
In 1948, the Soviet soldiers,
who landed in 8hikotan were
greatly surprised when found
In the local houses some books

According to the report of

refugees have already settled
in 87 regions of Russia.
Mainly they axe the former
inhabitants of the Middle

37% to Armenians, 36% to

the Mosoowites are the most

There are some such

Smaller groups are in the

repression, including those
concerning priesthood and
believers.
Some antireliglous
companies have taken hold in
the Far East and Russia.
Communists strenuously
distributed atheistic leaflets,
religious miracles and
oracles.
But, Sakhallin in this
antireliglous company, was
behind its neighbours in the
region. That's why in 1928 a
special decagon for Sakhalin
was issued at the first
conference. It said in
particular:
"To organize the Union, of
atheists involving peasants,
workers and especially
women into it. Groups of
political - educational activity
have to intensity antlreliglous
propaganda".
General closing and
destruction of orthodox
churches were the results of
that activity. In its hatred of
tsarism, the new power
banned divine services In the
churches. Even the Mongolian
- Tatar conquerors of the
Odd Horde, in their time did
not resot so drastically.
Moreover, OGPU-NSVD
began to use these buildings
of churches and cloisters for
concentration camps and
jails. New Soviet tradition
was commenced, from the
Solovetsky monastery in
the 20s and then it crawled
all over the country,
Sakhalin was no exception.

there was separation of the

Pectoral crosses and domes

considered an architectural
relic) and then the
Communist Party hump was

The people kept the
traditions, rites and moral
principles of Christianity.
The most amazing fact of
history is that church bells
continued to peal over
Sakhalin.
One knows little of Sakhalin
lighthouses such as the Cape
of 8rylion, the Cape of
Jonkder, the Cape of Mizabett,
the Cape of Maria and others
which used old church bells
for long periods as means of
reserve signal. When modern
eguipment was out of order
lighthouse attendants always
had a reliable church bell
near at hand. Its powerful
alarm overcame the ocean
roar, night haze and fog, and
was resounded at many miles
nearby.
Perhaps, the Lord only
knows how Soviet sailors -
atheists - owed these bells
their lives...
On March 1922, by petition

Patriarch of Moscow and all

ordered the transfer, free of

I received the attached memo from Delcon Crane Certificators, Inc., which says:
"Gentlemen: Now that all of my crane work for Alaska is done and put
away, it's time to make note of some of the outstanding equipment I
surveyed throughout the summer season.
Yours is top of the list. Best kept dock, best maintained, cleanest
cranes.
Signed: George Jamison
P.S. Thanks for a good job!"
This is quite a compliment since I think Delcon inspects most of the cranes in Alaska.
Good job Swede!

Bob Bears Personnel File
Congratulations for being chosen as the "Outstanding Operator of the Year" for the
Southcentral Region and "Large System Operator of the Year" for the whole state.
You were recognized for this award by your peers and the professional associates of the
American Water Works Association, Alaska Section, and the Alaska Water Management
Association.
There was no doubt in my mind, when I sent in the recommendation for this award, that
you were the best wastewater treatment plant operator in the state. It is you and your
crew at the plant that make my job a whole lot easier. The City of Kenai does not have
the constant and irritating problems that many cities have with their wastewater plants.
You do an excellent job of keeping our plant in compliance and within the regulations and
I thank you for that.

RE: OLD STATE COURTHOUSE BUILDING
Kenai, Alaska
At their regular meeting of November 17, 1993, the Kenai City
Council discussed the concept of holding District Court or
administrative hearings in the old courthouse building in Kenai.
At this time, the state is involved in moving some of their
offices formerly housed in rented office space into the old
courthouse. Renovation work (in the old courthouse) will be
needed to make the spaces fit the needs of the particular
departments moving to that building.
The Kenai City Council urges the Division of General Services to
preserve the downstairs courtroom so it may be made available for
the potential use of holding District Court or administrative law
hearings.
Sincerely,
JJW/clf
