Dear Ms. Nelson:
Please be advised that Mountain Hotels, Inc. and Kenai
Mt., Inc. filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy on April 1, 1993. A copy of
the petition was faxed to Patrick Sharrock on April 2, 1993.
The City of Kenai's letter of April 2, 1993 protesting
the renewal of the liquor license is an attempt to collect a pre -
petition debt and is in violation of the automatic stay found at
Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code. Accordingly, that letter is
not effective as a protest or as an effort to initiate any action
against the subject liquor license. The ABC Board is stayed from
taking any action against the license based on the non-payment of
taxes to the Kenai Peninsula Borough.
You should also be aware that the protest is against the
license held and operated by Kenai Mt., Inc., and the delinquent
taxpayer is Mountain Hotels, Inc. Even though these corporations
are under common ownership, I do not believe this justifies using
the tax obligations of one corporation as a basis for terminating
the license of the other.

Chambers in the Kenai City Hall.
Members Present: Bill Toppa, Bob Scott, Teresa Werner-Quade, Bonnie Koerber, Tom
Thibodeau, Ron Holloway
Members Absent: Diane Smith (excused)
Also Present: Councilman Ray Measles; Randy Ernst, Airport Manager; Kathy

3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - September 9, 1993
Werner-Quade noted Bob Scott was absent from the September 9, 1993 meeting and
the minutes need to be corrected to reflect his absence.
4. PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD
None
5. OLD BUSINESS
Ernst stated he was asked to check into the possibility of getting some picnic tables to
set up at the south end of the airport. Ernst checked with Kayo McGillvray, the Parks &
Recreation Director, who informed him he does not have any extras available at this time,
but they might be pulling the tables out of the Municipal Park on Forest Drive. Ernst
asked if the Commission would like him to get information on purchasing some picnic
tables.
KENAI AIRPORT COMMISSION
OCTOBER 14, 1993
PAGE 2
Toppa asked for volunteers to form a committee to obtain information on the picnic
tables. Tom Thibodeau and Ron Holloway volunteered. Ernst stated he will help too.
Ernst mentioned Ron Holloway's request for information on lighting at the Float Plane
Basin. He stated the Mayor had already asked Nelson for an estimate for lighting at the
Float Plane Basin, which he was unaware of. Ernst noted Nelson's response is listed
under Information, 9d. He said the reason the estimate appears to be high is the cost
of getting power to that end of the Basin. Ernst stated power has been installed to the
automated fuel tank so the cost may be less. He added it may be shorter to bring power
in on the glide slope end.
Werner-Quade asked Ernst if he brought the Float Plane Basin Regulations she had
previously requested. Ernst stated he has copies for everyone to pick up after the
meeting.
Toppa stated if the Commission would like to discuss the possibility of reducing the cost
of slips at the Float Plane Basin the item could be discussed later in the meeting. The
Commission agreed.
6. NEW BUSINESS
a. Review Gift Shop Lease Reduction Request and Future Viability of Gift Shop
Toppa stated it was previously approved to reduce the rent beginning January 1, 1994;
now there is a request for reduction in rent beginning October 1, 1993.
Werner-Quade asked for a clarification on when the rent had been reduced in the past,
January or October.
Toppa stated in the past it was January. He added the vendor probably would have liked
to see a reduction earlier but, by the time a request came to the Commission and it was
approved, the reduction was made effective in January. Toppa stated he sees no real
problem with reducing the rent for this time period.
Ernst informed the Commission Mitch Dobrich, Lessee, is in the audience to answer any
questions.
Holloway asked Dobrich if he feels it is worth keeping the gift shop open during the
month of December.
KENAI AIRPORT COMMISSION
OCTOBER 14, 1993
PAGE 3
Dobrich stated business dropped at the end of August and the first part of September.
Dobrich said he was very disappointed in business at the gift shop, stating he felt
business would be better than it actually was. Dobrich said he opened the gift shop on
May 15, but would have rather opened it May 1. He said the merchandise he ordered
arrived after May 15. Dobrich said at the middle of August business started dropping.
Dobrich has been paying the rent on the gift shop, but it has been closed. He felt it was
not feasible to pay someone to be there all the time. Dobrich stated the merchandise he
has ordered is not on consignment; it is merchandise he is stuck with. He stated he
could sell it for 50% or 60% off as a special sale and go in with a clean slate next year.
Holloway asked if there is enough traffic during the holidays for Dobrich to re -open in
December. Dobrich said he doesn't know because he has not been open through the
holidays before. Dobrich said his numbers do not compare to the old lessee's numbers.
Werner-Quade asked Dobrich if he wants the reduction for this year only and Dobrich
stated he only has one more year.
Toppa asked Dobrich if he intends to open during the holiday season. Dobrich stated he
will try anything to sell his merchandise. Toppa said if the Commission makes the
decision to recommend to Council a reduction in rent until next spring, it should be stated
if Dobrich opens during the month of December for a holiday sale, his rent will remain at
the reduced rate.
Werner-Quade agreed that if a holiday sale could be done it would help Dobrich clear out
his merchandise to start over in the spring, and the rent could still remain at the reduced
rate.
Scott stated the dates Dobrich is going to be open should be spelled out. Dobrich said
the old lessee opened on May 1. Ernst added the old lessee had a reduced rent from
January 1 through April 30.
Toppa asked the Commission for a clear motion on the dates Dobrich will be required to
be open.
MOTION
Holloway made a Motion to reduce the rent to $50.00 from October 1 st to April 30th; and
if the gift shop is opened in December, the rent will stay at the reduced rent for a holiday
sale.
KENAI AIRPORT COMMISSION
OCTOBER 14, 1993
PAGE 4
Koerber asked Dobrich if the gift shop will be completely closed during this time of
reduced rent or if he will be running back and forth between the gift shop and the
restaurant. Dobrich stated the gift shop will be completely closed.
Toppa told Dobrich the Commission doesn't want to restrict his business and that he
doesn't see a problem with him opening the gift shop during December. He stated the
Commission should not specify a month to re -open during the reduced rent time, but that
if he wants to open the gift shop for a short period of time to have a sale he should be
allowed to.
AMENDED MOTION
Scott made a Motion that the gift shop shall be open and the full rent ($500.00/month),
be paid from April 1 through September 30, and any time the gift shop is opened during
the reduced rate months, the rate will not be affected.
Toppa asked if the last lessee had any restrictions on whether or not the gift shop could
be open or not during the reduced rent months. Measles said the amendment made to
the prior lessee's contract did not allow the gift shop to be open. Toppa read from the
lease "...the $500.00 monthly rental shall be pro -rated for the period of time the gift shop
is open..." Toppa asked the Commission if they want to do -away with that section of the
lease. It was agreed upon among the Commission members to do -away with that section
of the lease.
Werner-Quade stated for clarification, during the reduced rent months, the lessee can
open the gift shop anytime or for the whole time and still have the rent remain reduced.
Toppa said if the Commission does not restrict it, then this is what he can do.
Thibodeau stated for this year it should be fine, and being able to open for a while during
the reduced rent months will be an incentive for the lessee to get rid of some old
merchandise to prepare for the spring opening.
Werner-Quade asked for the Motion to be re -read
Re -Read MOTION
Scott made a Motion that the gift shop shall be open and the full rent ($500.00/month)
be paid from April 1 through September 30, and any time the gift shop is opened during

Toppa asked for a show of hands. Unanimous decision.
Toppa asked the Commission for comments on the feasibility of the gift shop.
Ernst stated Louis Schilling and the Mayor have discussed the idea of looking at
something other than a gift shop in the airport. He stated the people coming through the
terminal do not have a lot of time to waste between flights. Ernst mentioned the
possibility of moving the gift shop to a smaller place. He said another possibility that
Schilling brought up is making a smaller restaurant with a bar downstairs and eliminating
the bar upstairs. (Ernst stated this idea is strictly "out of the blue.") Ernst suggested the
possibility of a snack shop with espresso, rather than having a full restaurant. However,
he added, Dobrich has exclusive rights to serve food and beverage of that type in the
terminal.
Werner-Quade asked how Dobrich did with the restaurant. Ernst said he is not sure but
he thinks fairly well. He stated Dobrich and Schilling have worked together on some
catering jobs. He added they are also working together by Dobrich sending sandwiches
up to the bar, etc. Ernst stated there is a possibility of keeping the two businesses
together. Ernst said the airport's hands are tied when it comes to offering more than a
five-year lease. He thinks Schilling would be willing to remodel the whole downstairs if
he could lease it for more than five years. Ernst stated the FAA controls the regulations;
if there were another small restaurant in the terminal, Schilling wouldn't have exclusive
rights so the lease could be for more than five years. He added Schilling's lease is up
in 1995.
Toppa stated the Commission needs to have some kind of proposal for the gift shop by
next November when Dobrich's lease expires. Ernst added it should be before the
expiration of the lease so there is time to prepare for a bid. Toppa asked how the
upstairs would go out to bid. Ernst said Schilling owns the fixtures and the City owns the
appliances.
Holloway inquired as to whether or not the Upper Deck could be expanded. Ernst said
the terminal was not made for a second floor.
Toppa sugggested a tentative work session for after the January, 1994, Airport
Commission meeting to discuss possible changes at the airport. He suggested inviting
Schilling and Dobrich.
Werner-Quade asked the Commission if they felt the Business Alliance should be invited
to this work session.

Toppa stated he thinks Schilling is a part of the Alliance; he will check into it. Toppa said
a tentative work session is scheduled to be held after the January, 1994 Airport
Commission meeting.
7. AIRPORT MANAGER'S REPORT
Ernst handed out his Manager's Report. He said the airport picked up 1,000
enplanements over last year. Ernst stated the parking lot revenues and permits are
looking good. He said the security gates project is still going on. The old gates are being
left up because the new gates have not arrived yet. He added the new gates should be
here in January sometime. Ernst told the Commission the airport will be having it's tri-
annual disaster drill sometime soon. He added the National Guard will be included in the
drill this year. Ernst reported the runway and taxiway crack sealing and painting job has
been finished. He said the airport signage plan has been approved and is being
engineered. Ernst stated we will be applying for a new front-end loader and a new
sander once AIP funding is allocated. Ernst said the bids were opened for the courthouse
soils removal. There is a possibility of having the soil disposed of as an asphalt material
and a good place would be the FBO lots.
Thibodeau asked Ernst if there is a compass rose on the airport. Ernst said there is not
at this time. He said he has the paint for it, but there was too much going on at the
airport this summer to get the compass rose done. He added he would like to get it done
before the fish haulers start this spring. Ernst also said he would accept any ideas of
location for the compass rose. Thibodeau mentioned the middle of the north ramp would
be a good place.
8. COMMISSION COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS
Toppa said at the last meeting something was brought up that should have not been
handled by this Commission and it is being handled by the Administration. Ernst said it
had been accidentally put in the last packet. Toppa said he spoke to Manninen and told
him if he sees anything on the Airport Agenda that looks questionable (whether or not the
Commission should handle it or the Administration) he will have it directed to the
Administration.
Toppa asked Ernst why Schilling's letter regarding the neon sign went to Council before
the Commission. Ernst said the letter came to him two days after the Commission's last
meeting. He said he was reluctant to approve Schilling's request without Council approval
because Schilling already has six signs at the airport. Schilling had stated he wanted the
KENAI AIRPORT COMMISSION
OCTOBER 14, 1993
PAGE 7
sign approval expedited for Monday night football. Ernst said Schilling and the Council
came to a compromise. It will be a lighted sign, but rather than having "Budweiser" or
"Miller" on the sign it will say "Welcome to Alaska," or something to that effect. The sign
will be placed around the tube upstairs.
9. INFORMATION ITEMS
a. Extension of Construction Schedule, Lot 4, Block 1 F.B.O. Subdivision
Toppa asked if this is the Pitts/Eicholtz request. Ernst replied it is.
b. Request for Airport Lounge Neon Sign
Already discussed.
C. Diane Smith, Excused Absence
d. 500' Extension for Float Plane Facility
Toppa asked what kind of input the Commission will have on the Float Plane Basin
extension. Ernst said the Commission can make recommendations to the Council. He
said there are a few users that have mentioned making it longer. Toppa asked if anyone
has ever run out of water and Ernst replied no.
Thibodeau said there are not too many commercial users of the Float Plane Basin. A
heavily loaded Beaver should be able to get off with what is there, if it's overloaded there
is the possibility of it being too short. He asked Ernst how much interest he gets with
the Float Plane Basin. Ernst said the summer transient group is increasing every year.
The long term slips are slow. Ernst said the idea of lowering slip rental is still one the
Commission should consider. Thibodeau asked if Elephant Lake is going to be used for
a float plane parking area. Ernst said he does not know.
Werner-Quade said the whole idea of the extension came from Mayor Williams because
it was brought up at a Council meeting. Ernst was asked what was going on with the
Float Plane Basin; he replied that it was slow and he had been asked by people if we
planned to extend the basin. Williams agreed with the extension because the City is in
need of sand and this kind of project would kill two birds with one stone. Ernst said
Williams had spoken to Nelson, and Nelson replied by letter.
Holloway asked Ernst if fuel will have to be paid for by credit card. Ernst replied yes
He stated something will have to be worked out in case people come in with cash.

Thibodeau said lighting on the Float Plane Basin would probably increase usage. He
stated pilots have to plan on being back here before sunset, or land in the dark. He
suggested some threshold lighting.
Toppa asked if the Commission could get an estimate on just the lighting. Ernst said he
will talk to HEA to try and get a cost of hooking up the power out there.
Werner-Quade asked if anyone on the Commission is opposed to the extension of the
Float Plane Basin. She stated she would like to know where everyone stands on this
issue. Everyone on the Commission agreed the Float Plane Basin Extension is a project
that will benefit the facility. They also agreed to keep it in mind during the following
meetings.

1. ROLL CALL:
The meeting was called to order by Vice -Chairman Sandahl at
7:13 p.m.
Commissioners present were: Sandahl, Carlson, Massie, and
Gifford. Sul tberg was excused. Seibert was absent. Also
present was Councilman Bannock and Mr. McGillivray from the City
of Kenai.
McGillivray requested to add under Director's Report, Item d)
Red Ribbon Week and to add under New Business, Item c) Ice Rink.
Hearing no objections the agenda stood approved as amended.
C •� _ • 7041 0 • 7 ;
Gifford requested that her last name rather than first name be

commissioners. Hearing no further objections, the minutes were
approved as corrected.
+4. PERSONS SCSEDOLED TO BE HEARD: None.
5. DIRECTOR'S REPORT:
a) ARPA Conference. Kayo McGillivray, Bill Prates, and Joanna
Cole attended the conference in Valdez, September 23-26.
While in attendance, they all learned a lot and felt it was
time well spent.
b) NRPA National Congress. Kayo just returned from the
National Congress in San Jose, CA. There were many long
business meetings as well as educational meetings. He was
only able to attend two of the educational meetings and
would have like to have been able to spend more time with
the exhibitors. one session he did attend dealt with the
new ADA regulations. Since the enactment of the law about
85-90 actual suits have been filed. Most were able to be
settled through negotiations and very few have gone to
court. To date there has been nothing filed against a park
and recreation agency.
c) Tractor bid. The bid packets went out and are to be opened
on Wednesday for a new tractor with a front-end loader. An
American -made tractor was specified so that parts for

repair would be easier to obtain if needed in the future.
It has been budgeted for $20, 000 so hopefully the bids will
come in under that amount.
d) Red Ribbon Week. For the past four years the schools have
been involved with Red Ribbon Week which opposes the use of
drugs and alcohol. The Teen Center is planning a Saturday
night "lock -in" which will run through Sunday morning. The
Mayor will be speaking to the youths as well as counsellors
from Cook Inlet Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse. it
should be a very positive event.
NXW BUSINESS:
a) Playground in Bush Lanes Subdivision. General discussion
regarding a need for a playground in the area as well as
Mr. Sturman's offer of a piece of property. There is also
city property nearby in Section 36 that has been designated
as recreational.
ACTION TAKEN: GIFFORD MADE A MOTION FOR T13E COUNCIL TO
CONSIDER USING THE PROPERTY IN SECTION 36 DESIGNATED AS
R=CREATIONAL FOR A FUTURE PLATOROUND SITS IN THAT AREA.
CARLSON SECONDED. !LOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
b) LWCF Grant Application for Outdoor Toilet Replacement. The
deadline for the grant was October 15, 1993, so a letter of
intent was written for application of LWCF grants to assist
with the replacement of five outdoor toilets. Two are
located in the Municipal Park and one each located within
Cunningham Park, Beaver Creek, and the Spur Park. The five
units would be handicap accessible, would have outside
cleanouts and most DEC requirements. The price for the
units is estimated at $192,560 so the matching LWCF grants
would be $96,780. The Department of Natural Resources
should let the City of Kenai know in about two weeks as to
whether the grants are accepted.
c) Proposed Hockey Rink. McGillivray informed the Commission
there is a push from within some�of the community that the
City have an indoor hockey rink. The Council has informed
this group that if they come up with $100,000, then they
may consider matching funds for it. Commissioners noted
that even though this proposal has been going around the
community, no one has approached the Parks & Recreation
Commission for its consideration. Gifford questioned the
need for one in Kenai when nearby Soldotna is having
trouble staying in the black with their rink. Commission
requested that they be made aware of what is happening and
of what is being promoted regarding this subject.

The Commission again re -iterated the need for the Council
to deal with the tent camping issue before moving onto any
other community park. In the past the Commission has
recommended a site off Marathon Road and would like that
area to be examined. It was noted that Kenai Rotary is
considering stocking the little lake in the area with fish.
Commission also stated that a commitment was made to the
Bernie Huss family regarding the Fitness Trail. The
Commission feels the fence needs to be installed whether
Carrs shares the cost or not, and it needs to be installed
before restoring the rest of the park.

a. City Council - Hal Smalley
Smalley said Bob Cowan attended the last Council meeting regarding the TSH Ordinance.
He said Cowan expressed his and several other land owners' concerns about being
included in the TSH map. Smalley stated he will talk more about TSH later in his report.
Smalley stated the contaminated soils removal project was awarded to Glacier
Environmental. He said Glacier will probably cover the pile for the winter and begin soil
washing in the spring. Smalley said there are several ways to remove the contaminated
KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
Meeting - October 27, 1993 Minutes
Page 3
soil; soil washing; chemical treatment; bioremediation; and thermal-remediation. He
added thermal is the most expensive. Pierce asked Smalley if soil washing is done on -
site. Smalley said it is done on -site, and filters are used to prevent contamination from
going into the subsoil. Pierce asked Smalley what is done with the material after it is
cleaned. Smalley said the material will be washed, cleaned, and inspected then removed
to a fill site, possibly the Airport. La Shot said there were proposals for paving at the
Airport but the soil will not be used at the Airport.
Smalley said the Airport gift shop had asked for a reduced rent during the winter months
and Council approved it. He added there was a lot of discussion as to what to do with
the gift shop once the lease comes up for renewal.
Smalley said Councilman Bannock has been assigned to be the liaison officer for Parks
and Recreation Commission.
Smalley said the City of Soldotna asked the City of Kenai to join in a venture for a water
project. Kenai's Council rejected the offer stating the City has already committed itself
to efforts here on a water study, drilling test wells, etc., to hopefully resolve the potential
problem of having to eventually put in a new treatment facility, which would cost several
million dollars. Pierce asked Smalley where wellhouse 1 and 2 are located. Smalley said
wellhouse 1 is on this side of Beaver Loop Road and wellhouse 2 is adjacent to Beaver
Loop Road.
Smalley said the ice rink was discussed. He said the project would be a joint venture
between the City and the Borough and involve very little City money. Smalley said the
Ice Rink Committee is going to have a public meeting at Kenai Central High on November
9, at 7:00. Smalley said the Governor has committed to 1.2 million if the Committee can
raise $600,000. He said the Committee will have forms for donations for corporations and
private individuals in order to raise the $600,000. Smalley added there is a $300,000
grant they could get to be part of the $600,000. Smalley stated his position against
expending City money to fund the facility. He said the facility would be much smaller than
the Soldotna facility but still a nice facility. The Committee did a cost estimate for a six
month operation and came up with almost $6,000 profit. Smalley added the Committee
is looking at additional projects the ice rink could be used for during "off ice" seasons.
He said the Peninsula Oilers and the Little League are interested and added the idea of
a summer ice skating camp for kids while the parents use Kenai as a vacation site was
discussed. Goecke asked Smalley how much ice time was figured by the Committee.
Smalley stated he thought 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. He added the Soldotna facility is open
from 6:00 a.m. to midnight and they still don't have enough ice time. Goecke stated his
concern of the Soldotna facility running for 18 hours a day and not being able to make
it. He mentioned the facility at one time had to ask the City of Soldotna for $70 to
$80,000 just to pay for the HEA bill. Smalley said the Soldotna facility's problem is not
the slab of ice, it's the electric bill and the compressor. He said the Kenai facility would
not be heated as much as the Soldotna arena, and added the Kenai facility will be much
smaller.
KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
Meeting - October 27, 1993 Minutes
Page 4
At this time Walker asked Commissioner Bryson if he could be excused from the meeting.
Smalley said the Courthouse dedication is November 9, at 5:00 p.m. for anyone
interested.
Smalley said Judith Bittner sent a letter to the City stating it is too late to get any grant
money for TSH this year but to keep applications current. He said Councilwoman
Swamer made a motion of reconsideration of the TSH ordinance. Council approved
reconsideration of the TSH ordinance amending the code and the ordinance determining
the boundary.
Bryson asked Smalley about the Slaughter water/sewer problem. Smalley said the City
is looking into hooking the Slaughter residence into City water and sewer. La Shot added
the Slaughter's sewer crib is failing and it would cost them approximately $10,000 to hook
into water and sewer.
b. Borough Planning Commission - Phil Bryson
Bryson said the meeting was very short with no discussion on any of the items.
C. Administration - Jack La Shot
La Shot said the City is operating under the old zoning code guidelines since the new
zone is being reconsidered.
Goecke asked La Shot about the cars parked in the yard on Birch Street and the Quandt
place. La Shot said the Birch Street problem is probably going to court and there is
nothing new on Quandt. Goecke stated Quandt did make an effort to remove some of
the cars. Bryson added the residents on Birch Street did haul at least a whole dump
truck load of debris off the property, but the cars are still there. La Shot said the Spur
Motel removed some cars. He added it is hard to tell which are running and which are
junk.

Mayor Williams requested Battalion Chief Jason A. Elson to come
to the dias. The audience was informed of assistance Mr. Elson
gave to an airline passenger during a flight from Seattle to Salt
Lake City. The son of the passenger wrote a thank -you letter to
Chief Burnett. Mayor Williams read the following letter of
commendation:
The Kenai City Council takes great pride in commending you for
your off -duty response and willing assistance to Mr. Max Cash of
Mentone, Alabama on July 5, 1993 during a Delta Airlines flight
to Salt Lake City. Your highly professional conduct and care of
Mr. Cash, during the flight's re-route to Seattle, is reflective
of your compassion and many hours of dedication to your
occupation.
The City of Kenai and its citizens are fortunate to have a person
of your skill and caring in its employ. Thank you for a job well
done!
The letter was signed by all Councilmembers. A standing ovation
was awarded to Battalion Chief Elson.

ITEM B: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT
B-1. Bob Cowan - Townsite Historic Zone.
Cowan stated he was in the Aleutian Islands at the time the TSH
ordinances had their public hearings (October 6, 1993). Cowan
stated he was speaking on behalf of a nucleus of Old Town
property owners who are quite upset with the outcome (himself,
Tom Tomerle, Will Jahrig and Clarence Ladd). Cowan stated the
handling of the choosing of the boundary of the zone had the
appearance of gerrymandering. Cowan stated they feel
discriminated against. Cowan added there are properties left out
of the boundary, i.e. Bookey, Malston, Garnett and Kinney.
Cowan requested reconsideration of the ordinances. Cowan stated
those he represents this evening may have to organize and seek
legal recourse. Cowan added an Old Town Homeowners Association
is in the process of formation.
Cowan stated they would like the original boundary used. Cowan
added if there this is going to be, then they would like to go
back to the original boundary and in a bigger scale.
Bookey referred to the comment Cowan made regarding his property
being outside of the zone. Bookey stated he does not own
property in the TSH zone. Bookey stated he has lease agreements
inside the zone. During public hearing discussion, Bookey stated
his preference was to keep the zone as it was, but that choice
was not before the Council.
Williams stated he made a similar comment during that discussion.
Williams added if the boundary were as it was originally, his
property would also be included. Williams stated he feels most
of the area should be in the TSH zone, including his property.
Williams suggested Cowan get a copy of the land use table
approved at the last council meeting. Williams explained the
restrictions placed on buildings are not to prevent development.
It is a process of orderly development. Williams suggested time
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES

made to work through to change the size of units for compatible
buildings and allowances for conditional use permits.
Cowan stated he is not opposed to preserving the area, but to
have equality.

Reference was made to the memorandum from Engineering Technician
Rachel Clark included in the packet.
Attorney Rick Baldwin - Stated he represents Fertech Environment
Systems, Inc. who believe they are the low bidder for the
contract of the contaminated soils project. Baldwin stated his
clients dispute the award of the bid to Glacier Environmental
Services, Inc. Baldwin handed out a copy of the bid opening
information to council. Baldwin explained Glacier had offered a
unit price in words of "fifteen dollars even." Their total unit
price was stated as $15,000. Baldwin stated Council will be able
to quiz Glacier as to whether they really meant "fifteen dollars
even." Baldwin stated the Supreme Court allows discrepancies
between words and numbers to be resolved in favor of words.
Baldwin added federal law does not. Baldwin stated Glacier
double bid, i.e. gave one bid and then declared it was an error
and gave another bid. Fertech would be the low bidder if
Glacier's bid would be considered as it was originally figured
(using the $15,000 amount) at $430,000. Baldwin stated the bid
award should not proceed from Glacier's mistake.
Baldwin stated Fertech was the lowest responsible bidder.
Baldwin suggested Council should consider the City's liability if
they award the bid to Glacier. Baldwin added Fertech will
eliminate the liability.
Baldwin went on to discuss the types of work that would be done
by Fertech and Glacier. (Glacier will wash the soil, on site.
Fertech bid enhanced bioremediation, removing all the soils to
another site and build their bioremediation unit there. After
DEC certification is received that the soil is clean, the clean
soil is then disposed from the site.) Baldwin discussed the
experience of both companies and financial standing.
Baldwin suggested Council question themselves about the integrity
of the bidding contest and seriously consider the long-term
effect of their actions. Baldwin urged Council to vote against
the award of the bid.
Council questioned the bid opening information distributed by
Baldwin. Attorney Graves stated there are two Alaska Supreme
Court opinions stating a government is to count words over
numbers. Graves stated Glacier is the low bidder under the law
and there is no way around it.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
OCTOBER 20, 1993
PAGE 9
Kornelis stated their bid specifications are standard in industry
in Alaska and nationwide. The specifications state words take
precedence over numbers. After the bid opening, all bids are
reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, according to the written
words. Kornelis added this is always done and there are always
mistakes in the bids, i.e. numbers v. words. They always use the
written words and multiply it out.
Kornelis added the specifications discussed the cleaning of the
piles as well as 3,000 cubic yards of subsurface soils. Kornelis
stated the best way of handling the soil is debatable. Kornelis
personally believes thermal care is best, however it is more
expensive. Both methods discussed tonight are ADEC approved.
There are stringent specifications to control the work. 100%
bonding is required by any of the contractors. Kornelis stated
his department recommends Glacier Environmental.
Kornelis stated the handwriting on the bid sheet distributed by
Baldwin was not his or that of the engineering technician.
Discussion followed regarding the bonding requirements and how
they play in the completion of the work if necessitated by the
inability of the contractor to complete the work.
Tom Sullivan - Vice President of Glacier Environmental Services.
Sullivan discussed the company's financial records and length of
business in Alaska and experience. Sullivan also discussed his
company's experience in Alaska.
Sullivan stated they will be washing the soils and then removing
them from the site as it is required. The company carries $1
million in pollution liability insurance. They will not
transport contaminated soils off the site. Sullivan stated an
accident would cause a huge liability problem. That is why they
clean the soils on site. If it is moved from the site prior to
cleaning, there is a potential of contaminating another site.
Sullivan stated his company has no affiliation with Enviros.
Fertech states they will act as the general contractor and do the
work as well. This is not allowed by the specifications.
Sullivan stated because of this, Fertech is non -responsive.
Sullivan stated he agrees with Baldwin that if the work is not
done right, it will not go away. Sullivan stated Council's best
bet is to stay with the recommendation and award the bid to
Glacier. When their work is complete, the area will be tested.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
OCTOBER 20, 1993
PAGE 10
Williams asked if Glacier will stipulate in writing they will
clean the soils below the piles. Sullivan stated that would not
be a problem. Sullivan stated they have worked with the Corps of
Engineers in Dutch Harbor and have been approved by the Corps.
Steve Miles - President of Glacier Environmental
(telephonically). Stated Glacier works with Enviros. Glacier's
work is to implement plans provided to them. Miles gave a short
history of the company and past work. Miles added they feel soil
washing is better than enhanced bioremediation.
Williams reviewed the law as to words v. numbers. Williams added
council may disregard the law and throw the bid out. Graves
stated that is not accurate. Graves stated Glacier is the low
bidder under Alaska law. Council has the prerogative to award
the bid to another if they think another bid is better for the
city. Manninen added the bid may be awarded to someone else
within the scope of the project.
Swarner asked when the work would begin. Kornelis stated after
the award of the bid and notice to proceed, the contractor will
have to cover the piles or remove them. Glacier would cover them
and probably begin work in the spring. Kornelis stated he
believed Fertech would do the same. Williams asked if Council
does not award the bid, would the City be responsible to cover
the piles until a contractor is hired. Kornelis stated yes.
Kornelis stated he strongly urges Council to award the bid
tonight.
Bannock asked Kornelis if money was available, what method did he
believe would be the best. Kornelis stated thermal. Bannock
asked what the likelihood is for Grace Drilling to pay for the
work. Graves stated they really cannot respond to that in a
public meeting. Graves added if it seemed possible Grace would
have paid for the work without problems, that remedy would have
been pursued. Kornelis added he sent a copy of the
specifications to Grace Drilling, but has not had a response from
them.
Williams stated money has only been appropriated to cover this
bid. No money has been appropriated for thermal. If Council
decides they want thermal, the bid award could not be done
tonight.
Discussion continued. Williams asked Sullivan if Glacier was
unable to complete a project. Sullivan stated no never.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
OCTOBER 20, 1993
PAGE 11
Sullivan added they have never been involved with an attorney so
early in a project either. Sullivan added the request for
proposal asked for an independent third party for sample testing
and design. Sullivan stated Glacier does not own Enviros. They
are a separate company.
Measles asked if anything other than getting the piles covered is
critical to the award of the bid tonight. Kornelis stated he was
not aware of anything. Kornelis added he feels it important to
award the bid tonight. Graves added if the piles are not covered
this winter (by a contractor), he would expect DEC will require
the City to cover them this winter. Kornelis added he has
received threatening letters.
Measles asked if the item was delayed for two weeks, would that
be critical. Measles added after the piles are frozen, the dirt
will not go anywhere.
MOTION:
Councilwoman Swarner MOVED to table the action.
MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF SECOND.
Smalley asked what the cost to the City would be in time and
materials to cover the piles. Kornelis stated it would very
expensive. The piles are covered with something much heavier
than visqueen.
Swarner asked when the contract would receive the notice to
proceed. Kornelis stated the contractor has ten days in which to
get the bonds and certificate of insurance. Then the notice to
proceed is issued. Swarner stated she would like to wait on the
vote until she has time to discuss the matter with members of her
daughter's university engineering department.
MOTION:
Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 93-84 to
Glacier Environmental Services for the amount of $425,015.
MOTION DISREGARDED, MOTION ALREADY ON THE FLOOR.

Swarner asked Sullivan questions of the washing process.
Sullivan stated they do not normally use chemicals in the water
they use for washing. Normally they use plain water with a deep
filtration system. DEC approves. The used filters are often
sent back to the manufacturer who recycles them. The used
filters are sent out immediately. There is no purpose for them
to stay on site.
COUNCILMAN MEASLES CALL FOR THE QUESTION.
Williams stated he will observe the law in regard to the money
and will rely on the recommendations of staff and vote to award
the bid to Glacier.

Discussion - Airport Gift Shop - Rent Reduction
Request.
MOTION:
Councilwoman Swarner MOVED to reduce the rent of the gift shop
effect January 1, 1994 through March 31, 1994 to $50 per month.
Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion.
Councilman Bookey stated he feels the lessee took over the lease
last year and was aware the lease would be under the restrictions
of last year. Measles stated no, the rent reduction was for only
one year. That is what the original lessee requested.
Bookey stated the new lessee took the lease on two months after
the lease was reduced. Bookey stated he thinks the lease should
be maintained as it was last year. Bookey added has no problem
with reducing the rent, but not for allowing the opening and
closing when the lessee wishes. Bookey stated the lessee and the
City should derive revenues.
Measles stated the gift shop is a loosing proposition. Measles
explained the lessee (Dobrich) does not plan to keep the gift
shop open during the off season. Measles stated he does not know
if the lessee is planning on renewing the lease unless the
situation changes over what it has been the last few years.
Measles explained Dobrich feels he has a lot of inventory that is
not suitable for an airport gift shop. That is why he wants to
open the shop during the holiday season in order to offer those
items for sale at a heavy discount. Hopefully he will be able to
reduce his stock and get other merchandise that he will better be
able to sell during the summer season.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
OCTOBER 20, 1993
PAGE 15
Williams suggested in the future the gift shop space be leased
without dictating what must be in the space. Measles stated he
did not think that can be done. Measles added Dobrich has the
lease for another year.
Bookey stated he has no problem with the operation of the gift
shop in the space, however he does not believe there will be a
long-term lease in the airport unless the leases are allowed to
seek their own level.
Bannock stated his concern that the lessee can close his doors
while the airport stays open. Bannock added he believes it sorry
that the gift shop will close down during off -winter months.
Staying open is part of business and should be a part of a year-
long plan of the lessee.
Williams stated he would like to have the Airport Commission
review the situation of the airport leases and discuss what they
really want to see as airport businesses. Also, review the
leases and perhaps combine some of the leases, such as the bar,
restaurant and gift shop. Airport Manager Ernst stated the
Commission has already discussed this at their last meeting and
will be discussing it again during the winter.
Measles stated the restaurant and lounge leases are not the
problem. Measles added he does not think the gift shop will ever
be profitable in the airport. People do not stay in the airport
long enough to shop. Bookey restated his concern that the rental
spaces need to be self-seeking.

MOTION:
Councilman Measles MOVED for approval of the purchase orders
exceeding $1,000 and Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion.
Councilman Bookey questioned the purchase of cellular phones.
Chief Burnett stated the decision to purchase the phones is to
better represent the City in a disaster or emergency situation.
Burnett added it is more advantageous to use the phones, i.e.
information is received and distributed directly, instead of by
messages. This is a government package price at $4,500 for eight
months, 15 phones at $310 per phone. The package also allows for
1,000 free minutes of use.
Measles stated he expects they will find it will be hard to use
the 1,000 free minutes and may want to change packages to a
business rate. Measles stated Tesoro started with a similar
package and cut back to the economy package for that reason.
Measles stated it may be something Burnett will want to review.
VOTE:
Councilman Smalley requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no
objections. SO ORDERED.
H-.3 Discussion - Assignments of Councilmembers to
Commissions.
Assignments were made as follows:
Councilman Bookey - Harbor Commission
Councilwoman Swarner - Council on Aging and Beautification
Councilwoman Monfor - Library Commission
Councilman Measles - Airport Commission
Councilman Bannock - Parks & Recreation Commission
Councilman Smalley - Planning & Zoning Commission
Councilwoman Swarner requested other councilmembers consider
being the liaison for the Beautification Committee. Swarner
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
OCTOBER 20, 1993
PAGE 17
suggested a new perspective is needed. Swarner also suggested
the consolidation of the Beautification Committee with Parks &
Recreation be considered. Swarner stated subcommittees of the
Parks & Recreation Commission could be used.
Smalley stated he will continue serving on the Ice Rink Task
Force. Williams stated the TSH Board will need members very
soon, as well as a Sister -City Committee.
H-4. Discussion - Appointments to Commissions.
Williams referred to commission/committee applications included
in the packet. A Planning & Zoning Commission seat is available,
as well as Harbor Commission. Williams referred to the
application of Bill Toppa, senior member of the Airport
Commission who is requesting to be moved to Planning & Zoning.
The application of Airport Commissioner Teresa Werner-Quade was
also included in the packet. Werner-Quade also requested to be
moved from the Airport Commission to Planning & Zoning. Williams
stated a member will also be needed on the Airport Commission if
Toppa or Werner-Quade is moved to Planning & Zoning.
Swarner suggested all applicants complete the new application
which asks for a statement why the person wants to be involved
with the commission for which they are applying. Swarner also
requested Council's consideration of combining the Harbor and
Airport Commission and call it a Transportation Commission.
Swarner stated she feels the City is over -commissioned.
Williams stated combining the commissions had been discussed in
the past. Because of different operations in the budget, it
would be hard to combine them. Swarner referred to minutes of
those commissions and stated it is hard for them to have quorums
for the meetings.
Smalley agreed with the idea to have the applicants complete the
new application. Clerk Freas stated when commissions do not have
a full membership, it is harder to have quorums for the meetings.
Measles agreed and stated the longer Council postpones assigning
commission members, it will be harder for to have quorums and
more meetings are canceled.
Bannock recommended Toppa to the Planning & Zoning Commission.
Bannock added Toppa's views are similar to his and would support
Toppa. Smalley referred to his time as a P&Z commission and ad
hoc member, and suggested a woman's perspective is important.
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
OCTOBER 20, 1993
PAGE 18
Smalley stated Werner-Quade's application was made and received
prior to Toppa's. Smalley added both people are equally
qualified, however he would probably vote for Werner-Quade.
Swarner stated both have filed conflict of interest forms (for
their council campaigns). Swarner suggested they should take the
first applicant.
Williams recommended Teresa Werner-Quade be moved from the
Airport Commission to Planning & Zoning. Williams also
recommended Linda Bonewell to the Airport Commission.
MOTION:
Councilman Measles MOVED for approval of Mayor Williams'
recommendations. Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. There
were no objections. SO ORDERED.
H-5. Discussion - Joint Water Project - Kenai/Soldotna.
Williams referred to information included in the packet from
Soldotna City Manager Richard Underkofler. Councilwoman Swarner
stated she did not think it necessary to discuss this matter
until the water feasibility study is completed. Williams
explained this is a question of whether Kenai will join with
Soldotna to determine what the cost of a water study would be.
There would be no cost to the City until the cost of a study is
determined. Then Kenai could join with Soldotna to seek a joint
state grant application for the funding of the system. Williams
stated it would be interesting to find out what might be
available for the year 2000 and beyond. Williams added a long-
term review is needed. Williams stated Council should only
decide whether it wants to join with Soldotna to put out a
request for proposals to find out what a feasibility study would
cost. Williams added the project would not proceed without money
to proceed.
Discussion followed. Smalley asked if Underkofler can find out
what the cost would be without Kenai's participation. Williams
stated he believes they want Kenai to join and have both cities
working with the legislature to get grant funding.
Manninen stated Kenai needs to look at the question from several
perspectives: (1) a feasibility study is already in progress;
(2) one well is being drilled, but Council may want to drill
another in a different area; and (3) ten years ahead, Kenai may
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
OCTOBER 20, 1993
PAGE 19
want to build a filtration plant and a joint project may be the
best way to do it. Manninen suggested Council should proceed
with drilling the wells and the feasibility study first.
Manninen added the feasibility study should be completed in
January.
Manninen added if better water is not found, it would increase
the chances of state funding for a joint system. Manninen added
a filtration system will be very costly. Manninen suggested if
Council wants to do something, Kenai could enter into a
conceptual agreement to upgrade the 1979 water study, but do not
commit anything but local staff time and Council consideration of
a request for proposals after the feasibility study and drilling
have been completed.
Smalley stated his concern of the amount of staff time needed if
they commit to the request for proposals. Smalley stated he
would rather wait until the study and drilling are completed.
Measles stated the ongoing projects should get first priority.
Measles added there is a lot of time to develop a request for
proposals. Bookey agreed with Measles and Smalley.
Manninen stated the well being drilled is at a 360 ft. depth.
The contractor does not think he can go deeper with his
equipment. The authorized amount of funding has not yet been
spent. Manninen suggested another contractor be hired or drill
another well close to Well No. 1 along Beaver Loop. Manninen
stated Council authorization is needed to begin drilling along
Beaver Loop. Manninen stated another $5,000 could be spent on
the well being drilled at this time and the drilling of another
well (Beaver Loop) will cost another $10,000-15,000. Manninen
stated that cost is cheap compared to a filtration system, etc.
Kornelis stated the water pumped from the current well -drilling
is not any better than from Well No. 2. Kornelis added the water
from Well No. 1 is very clean. Discussion followed. Manninen
requested authorization to drill the second well. Smalley,
Swarner and Measles stated their agreement.
Williams asked if Council wanted to indicate to Soldotna they are
not interested in doing a study at this time and to drill a
second well near Wellhouse No. 1. Manninen stated it will cost
approximately $15,000 to drill a second well.

Administration was requested to bring back more information to
the next meeting.
Nancy Gourley (from the audience) requested Council move to Item
H-10 due to the lateness of the hour. There were no objections.
H-10. Discussion - Slaughter Residence Sewer and Water
Service.
Judith A. Slaughter - Referred to her letter which was included
in the packet. The letter states her crib system for waste
disposal and well do not meet the standards of the City. Her
crib is deteriorating rapidly. She has been informed by DEC she
cannot replace the crib. City water and sewer lines are
approximately 80' from her property line and Third Avenue.
However, she cannot connect without disrupting her neighbors'
property or the Grant Place right of way.
Slaughter added she has discussed the matter with City Engineer
La Shot a number of times. The last time was prior to the HEM
paving project. Slaughter stated La Shot informed her hooking
into the water and sewer lines would be at her expense, as well
as engineering fees associated with the different agencies
involved.
A lengthy discussion followed. Finance Director Brown stated
there was never an assessment district formed in that area. It
is not a matter of participating in an assessment district.
A memorandum from Jack La Shot was also included in the packet.
The memo explained ADEC will not approve a replacement of the
Slaughters' crib system because they are within 200 feet of the
municipal system. Additionally, the Code states if a structure
(which creates sewage or uses water) is within 200 feet of a
sewer or water main, the structure must be connected to the city
system. Because Grant Place is only half dedicated, the sewer
and water capital project done in 1983 did not include this
property. The capital project eliminated the need for an
assessment district because the total cost of the project was
funded by the state grant. According to the Kenai Municipal
Code, cost for the 80 to 90 feet of main line extensions needed
for Slaughter to connect to the Grant Place right-of-way line
would be at Slaughters' expense.

Kornelis stated he spoke with Dave Johnson of DEC and referred to
Slaughter's letter. Kornelis stated Johnson did not recollect
the comments represented by Slaughter. Johnson stated the crib
could not be replaced with a crib. However, it may be replaced
with a septic tank. Then the only problem would be the
separation of the well from the septic system.
Williams asked if the City would develop the lines, would
Slaughter pay 25% of the cost. Slaughter stated she would have
to speak to her husband. However, they would have a problem with
having to pay when their neighbors did not. Williams was
reminded the original project was 100% funded.
Williams suggested directing Administration to investigate the
cost to extend the water and sewer lines to the three lots until
such time the road is fully dedicated. After the estimated cost
is known, Council will review the matter again. Smalley stated
he had no objection. Bookey agreed, however he requested
Slaughters speak to DEC again and ask them to put their opinion
in writing.
Swarner requested other areas be investigated as well. Williams
suggested an inventory of streets and cul-de-sacs water and sewer
needs be done. There were no objections from Council.
MOTION:
Councilwoman Swarner MOVED to reconsider Ordinance No. 1567-93
regarding the Townsite Historic Zone. Councilman Smalley
SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED.
MOTION:
Councilwoman Swarner MOVED to set the meeting (for the
reconsideration) for December 15, 1993. Councilman Smalley
SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED.
Councilwoman Swarner left the meeting (approximately 10:40 p.m.).
H-6. Discussion - Land & Water Conservation Fund - Letter of
Intent.
Williams referred to Parks & Recreation Director McGillivray's
memorandum included in the packet stating a letter of intent to
Land & Water Conservation Funds has been submitted. The letter
requests funding to replace five existing outdoor toilet

OCTOBER 20, 1993
PAGE 22
facilities in Kenai parks. These facilities are in need of
repair and must be upgraded to meet ADA requirements. Williams
stated no action is needed until it is known whether funds have
been granted.
Williams also referred to an attached memorandum from Finance
Director Brown wherein he stated his concerns of building toilet
facilities near the picnic shelter by the ballfields. The
property is airport fund lands. Brown is concerned the general
fund may need to purchase this property because with the
placement of these facilities, etc., it could be said it is a
park. Williams stated Council should disregard Brown's memo.
A brochure of the proposed outdoor toilet facilities was reviewed
by Council. It was explained the facilities are kits, are
designed for cleaning from the outside, and meet ADA
requirements. The cost for five of the facilities is $195,000.
The grant requested is a 50/50 grant. Further discussion
followed.
ACTION: Place on the next agenda for further review.
H-7. Discussion - Ice Rink - Donation Collection
Authorization.
A memorandum was included in the packet identifying funding
sources for funding of the proposed ice rink. Williams passed
copies of three different donation forms for collecting funding
to pay for a portion of the proposed ice rink. The forms
included:
1. Donor organization (for donation of $1,000 or more) -
entitled to two free days of use of the facilities.
2. Board advertisement (lifetime = $5,000, five-year =
$2,500 or two-year = $1,250).
3. 1994 Permanent Fund Dividend.
Williams explained all three forms include a clause that if full
funding is not secured by July 1, 1996, the money will be
refunded without interest to the donor. Williams added in order
to be credible, authorization from Council is needed to receive
the donations and hold them in a City account.
Williams reported KPHA will hold a "town hall" meeting on
November 8, 1993. Smalley and Williams will be attending a
meeting scheduled for next week. An advertising brochure will be
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
OCTOBER 20, 1993
PAGE 23
distributed which will include details of the cost of the
project. Williams requested Council's approval of KPHA using the
agreements for donations.
Smalley reported some KPHA members have been advised there are a
number of residents who have made comments about the cost of the
facility. The Task Force is still trying to find property in a
space where there will be little or no cost at all for the
location and utilities. Smalley added the Task Force is aware
they want to bring a facility to town that will not cost anything
to the City. The meeting will discuss the cost of operation of
the facility, etc. The group has discussed the potential of
summer camps, skating lessons, Oilers use at the beginning of
their season, etc.
Smalley stated he believed Council had taken action to approve
the City's providing $100,000 for the project. Clerk Freas and
Finance Director Brown stated they were not aware of any formal
action. Smalley requested the minutes be reviewed if action was
taken.
MOTION:
Councilman Smalley MOVED to authorize the City of Kenai to
collect monies donated for the funding of the ice rink and hold
them for future use. Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion.
There were no objections. SO ORDERED.
Discussion - Courthouse Dedication Ceremony.
Williams referred to a memorandum from Clerk Freas included in
the packet. The memorandum explained Williams requested punch,
finger sandwiches and cookies be provided for the dedication/open
house. The memorandum gave an estimated cost of $825 for
refreshments for 300-350 persons. A listing of persons to invite
was also included in the memorandum.
Williams stated he received a telephone call from someone from
the Court System suggesting the Court System pay for half of the
cost. They are to contact Freas.

City of Kenai CITY ADMIN. OF KENAI
210 Fidalgo Avenue
Kenai, AK 99611
Dear Mr. Manninen:
We have reviewed your application for the City of Kenai to become a Certified Local
Government (CLG). Once the following items are completed and the State Historic
Preservation Officer determines that the City is eligible for certification, the application
package will be sent to the National Park Service:
• Outline of process for reviewing local projects (example enclosed).
• Outline of historic preservation plan (examples from Fairbanks and Seward
enclosed).
• Appointing commission members and sending in their resumes. If you have
difficulty in finding professional members, provide written information
demonstrating attempts to seek qualified professionals such as copies of newspaper
notices and letters to the Kenai Peninsula College. If you are unable to fill the
professional positions, you may have consultants to call on as needed for
archaeological, historical or architectural review of appropriate projects. For
example, the City's of Unalaska and Seward use Steve Peterson, architect with the
National Park Service in Anchorage, as a consultant.
Upon CLG certification, the City of Kenai is eligible to receive historic preservation grant
funds (see enclosed brochure). The FY'94 deadline for submitting Letters of Intent was
September 30, however, we expect to see a second round of grant applications after the
Alaska Historical Commission February/March meeting. At that time, CLG's will be
contacted and given an opportunity to apply. Approximately $40,000 is available for FY'94
CLG grant funds. This amount has been consistent for several years.
This year the State board's priorities include: (1) Proposals to complete projects begun with
CLG grant assistance, (2) local historic preservation planning projects, (3) survey and
Thomas J. Manninen
Page 2
inventory projects, (4) National Register of Historic Places nominations, and (5) heritage
education projects.
Letters of Intent for FY'95 grants will be due July/August 1994. Our staff is available to
review draft proposals.
You may wish to discuss the Heritage Village proposal with Russ Sackett, Architectural
Historian, who can be reached at 762-2633. Please give me a call if I can be of further
assistance.
Sincerely,
Jan Clemens
Historian/CLG Coordinator

MEMORANDUM
TO: Tom Manninen, City Manager
FROM: Keith Komelis, Public Works Director
DATE: October 29, 1993
SUBJECT: New Water Well
FOR: Council Discussion 11/3/93
The test well Public Works drilled near our 3 million gallon storage tank did not work out.
We drilled down 360 feet and never did find water as clear as our Wellhouse No. 2 water.
We spent $8,420.00 on this test well. Rachel Clark has prepared a report on this test
well.
Most of the color and turbidity in our water comes from Wellhouse No. 2. We recently
shut Wellhouse No. 2 down and our water has cleared up.
We discussed drilling a well near Wellhouse No. 1, which produces our cleanest water.
If we found clean water there we could pump the water into the tank at Wellhouse No.
1, but I doubt the distribution pumps would be adequate to handle our summer water
needs. We could also have draw down problems in that the water cone of influence from
each well could interfere with each other.
I think we should try to find cleaner water near Wellhouse No. 2 by drawing water from
a different depth. If we can find clean water near Wellhouse No. 2 we can discontinue
use of the existing well no. 2, but still use the existing building, tank, distribution pumps,
chlorine building, etc. This would be a tremendous savings compared to another location.
I recommend that Council approve the purchase order to
Kraxberger Drilling for $9,600.00 to drill an exaloratory
well near Wellhouse No. 2.

Subject: Test Well at the Airport
Enclosed is a well log and final bill from Kraxburger Drilling
for the test well at the Airport. The total cost was $1,180.00
less than our purchase order for $9,600.00. The additional
$5,000.00 purchase order approved by council on 10/6/93 will not
be needed for this well.
The total well depth was 360' and total quantity was 100 gpm. The
water quality varied throughout the well, ranging from slightly
off-color to murky and turbid. Tannins were present from 200' -
360'.
At 360', the driller hit compressed gravel, and was unable to go
any further. The best water quality found in the well, at 2201,
was similar to that of Wellhouse Two, and probably would not
increase the overall quality of the City water at all.
The casing will be left in place, and the well will be capped.
The well could be tapped in the future if a filtration plant is
brought on line.
For your information, we have also attached a Groundwater
Exploration Study done by the USGS for the Beaver Creek Area.
Please note some of the recommended areas for continued
exploration on page 24 of the study.

GROUND -WATER EXPLORATION, BEAVER CREEK VALLEY
NEAR KENAI, ALASKA
By
Gary S. Anderson
INTRODUCTION
The results of the ground -water investigation for the
city of Kenai are presented in this report. The investiga-
tion included an analysis of ground -water potential in the
vicinity of Kenai, Alaska (fig. 1), and a test -drilling
program in the Beaver Creek valley near Kenai (fig. 2). As
a result of the test drilling, a ground -water source was
located and a successful production well was drilled.
This report summarizes the results of this exploration
program and includes the data and conclusions concerning
selection of the test -drilling sites, the results of the
testing program, and some suggestions relative to further
exploration for ground water in the area and the future
management of water supply.
Purpose and Scope of Investigation
The purposes of this investigation were (1) to locate a
ground -water source capable of yielding 650 qpm (gallons per
minute) sustained average flow, or 3,000 gpm for 10 hours
fire demand; (2) to evaluate the water -bearing properties of
the aquifers in the completed wells; and (3) to determine
the chemical quality of water from the exploration wells.

Since July 1967, the U.S. Geological Survey, in coopera-
tion with the Kenai Peninsula Borough has conducted a water -
resources study of the Kenai Borough. During the summers of
1969 and 1970, the scope of the borough study was expanded
and a cooperative program with the city of Kenai was initiated
to make a reconnaissance ground -water exploration of the
Beaver Creek valley near Kenai (fig. 2). The scope of the
1969 summer program included drilling two test wells (test
wells 1 and 2) in what was believed to be the most favorable
part of the valley for the development of ground water.
Durinc the summer of 1970, three test wells were programmed
to delineate the western edge of the aquifer and the closest
point to the city where high -capacity wells could be antici-
pated. These objectives were fulfilled after the second
well (test well 4) was drilled, and the third planned test
well was therefore not drilled. Following completion of the
1970 test -drilling program, Adams, Corthell, Lee, Wince, and
Associates designed and supervised the drilling of a produc-
tion well. Throughout the entire planning, test drilling,
and production -well testing, the Geological Survey acted in
an advisory role to the city of Kenai.
Methods of Investigation
During the study of the Kenai Peninsula Borough and prior
to the test -drilling program in Beaver Creek valley, ground-
water conditions in the Kenai area had been defined in
general terms. Included in this general definition were an
inventory of existing wells, the collection and analysis of
drillers' logs, the augering of shallow test holes, the
geophysical logging of selected wells, the mapping of surfic-
ial geology, and an analysis of the chemical quality of ground
water. These data were evaluated to delineate the most
promising areas for test drilling. Test wells were then
drilled at the selected locations shown in figure 2.
3
The formations penetrated during drilling were sampled,
and the cuttings and cores were analyzed for particle -size
distribution, permeability, and for the presence of clay
and microfossils. The resulting test holes were logged
geophysically using natural gamma, gamma -gamma, and
neutron-epithermal-neutron techniques followed by borehole
flow tests employing flowmeter brine -injection techniques.
Water samples were collected and either analyzed in the
field for selected water -quality parameters or sent to the
laboratory for analysis. In addition, aquifer tests were
performed on the test wells as they were completed and on
a production well.
Geohydrologic Setting
The Kenai area is underlain by unconsolidated deposits
as mapped in figure 2. They are stratified sedimentary
deposits of glacial origin. They have been subdivided using
existing maps, aerial photographs, well logs, field inspection
of landforms, and surficial expression. The units include
drift, outwash-plain deposits, coastal -plain deposits, deltaic
deposits, abandoned -channel deposits, and alluvium.
Not all unconsolidated deposits in the study area can
be classified precisely owing to the complex nature of the
sedimentation and the scope of geologic mapping and inter-
pretation. Nevertheless, at most places the unconsolidated
deposits as mapped differ from each other in form, physical
characteristics, and water -bearing properties. Although
the map of unconsolidated -deposits represents only the
sediments as seen at the surface, in most places the general
hydrogeologic conditions at the surface extend to depths
greater than 100 feet.
Geologic units most favorable for ground -water develop-
ment within the study area include the outwash-plain deposits
and the abandoned -channel deposits. The drift and deltaic
deposits have been suitable sources for industrial and
municipal wells in North Kenai and Soldotna, but have not

proven suitable within the study area. The coastal -plain
deposits are generally unfavorable because of the large
quantities of fine-grained sand, silt, and clay. The
alluvium is generally too thin to be considered a favor-
able water -bearing unit, but may prove suitable for infil-
tration galleries adjacent to the Kenai River. Buried
outwash deposits may provide suitable aquifers beneath the
alluvium.
Selection of Test -Drilling Sites
The coastal -plain deposits upon which the city of
Kenai is located were rejected as a potential source of
municipal ground water on the basis of available well
data. These deposits consist of an upper sand unit,
ranging in thickness from 40 to 100 feet overlying a
predominantly silt and clay unit at least 600 feet thick.
Prior to this exploration and development program, the
city of Kenai obtained its municipal supply from the upper
sand unit. A few private wells produced water from sand
and gravel aquifers within the silt and clay unit at depths
ranging from 180 to 250 feet. Yields of as much as 180 gpm
have been obtained at Wildwood Station from the upper sand
unit, and as much as 50 gpm from permeable zones within the
silt and clay unit. Water from the upper sand unit contains
as much as 8.2 mg/l (milligrams per liter) of iron, and
70 percent of the samples contain more than 1 mg/1 of iron.
Water from the deeper units contains excessive amounts of
dissolved minerals and organic materials.
From the study of the geology and hydrology of the area,
two areas were selected as being favorable for exploration:
(1) the abandoned- channel deposits and (2) the outwash-plain
deposits adjacent to Beaver Creek valley.
The abandoned -channel deposits of the Beaver Creek
valley were thought to have a good water -bearing potential
for high -capacity wells because geologic data indicated .%
that the ancestral Beaver Creek valley was a major drainage
course during past geologic history. This evidence showed
r,
r
D
that well -sorted sand and gravel could have been deposited
within this drainage during the melting of the glaciers in
the Kenai lowlands. This supposition was verified by good
yields from several domestic wells completed in favorable
water -bearing materials. The water quality was also
excellent, although a few wells had chloride contents
greater than 250 mg/l.
The outwash-plain deposits adjacent to the Beaver Creek
valley have been little explored. One auger well (well 1,
T. 6 N., R. 11 W., sec. 12, fig. 2) penetrated 70 feet of
water -bearing coarse sandy gravel and the quality of water
was good. Because of similarities between this area and
areas of proven yield, the possibility was good for finding
artesian aquifers in these deposits within 300 feet of the
surface.
The exploration program was initiated in the abandoned -
channel deposits of the Beaver Creek valley. The outwash-
plain deposits adjacent to Beaver Creek valley were not
tested as part of this exploration program.
SUMMARY OF TEST RESULTS - BEAVER CREEK VALLEY
Description of Water -Bearing Material
The geologic formations penetrated in all test and
production wells were similar. However, the geology is too
complex to allow precise correlation between wells. Three
major units were distinguishable: an upper surficial unit
of water -bearing sand and gravel; a middle confining unit of
clay, silt, silty sand, and cemented gravel; and a lower
unit of sand and gravelly sand that constitutes the major
confined aquifer.
The surficial deposits range in thickness from 15 to
80 feet. They contain large quantities of water, but the
water contains objectionable concentrations of iron.
7
i $1
The middle confining unit of interbedded clay, silt,
silty sand, and cemented gravel is in sharp contact with
the surficial unit but grades into the underlying confined
aquifer.
The lower unit consists of interbedded fine to coarse
well -sorted sand and sandy gravel containing some clay and
silt layers, and is characterized by large quantities of
coal and wood fragments within the water -bearing unit. In
test well 3 the total aquifer thickness was only 6 feet,
but in test well 2 the thickness was more than 135 feet.
In test well 3 the last 90 feet penetrated were in
predominantly fine material yielding very little water.
All the other test and production wells did not fully
penetrate the water -bearing unit; the unit did grade with
depth to predominantly fine sand, silty sand, and interbeds
of clay and silt.
A more complete description of the sediments penetrated
by the test and production wells is presented in figures 3
through 7, which are composites of driller, geological, and
geophysical logs compared to a well construction diagram;
and in table 1, which includes results of the laboratory
sample analyses. Apparent inconsistencies in the diagrams
between lithologic logs, water -yielding zones, and casing
perforations may be explained at least in part by the
limitations inherent in the logging techniques.
Hydraulic Tests
The physical properties of the materials making up the
confined aquifer and adjacent confining beds were determined
by laboratory and field tests.
Hydraulic conductivity, a measure of the rate of water
flow through a porous medium, was determined in the laboratory
for selected samples (table 2). Hydraulic conductivity of
materials making up the confined aquifer was determined on
repacked drill -cutting samples .and ranged from 5.4 x 10-1
to 23.2 m day-1 (meters per day), equivalent to a field

coefficient of permeability of 13 to 570 gpd per ft2
(gallons per day per square foot). This range can be con-
sidered to be low to moderately permeable, but great caution
needs to be exercised in applying results on repacked samples.
Hydraulic conductivity, determined by using borehole flow -
testing equipment, within each test well was variable. The
most permeable units were gravelly sand. However, the less
permeable sand units transmit large quantities of water
because they are thick. Hydraulic conductivity of the
materials within the confining beds ranged from 2.2 x 10-'
to 9.7 x 10-2 m day-1 (permeability = 0.0054 gpd per ft2 to
2.4 gpd per ft2). Even these low hydraulic conductivities
allow a large amount of leakage toward the unconfined
surficial deposits under the present head relationship.
However, increased ground -water development of the confined
aquifer could induce leakage from the surficial deposits to
the confined aquifer.
Field hydraulic tests measuring transmissivity and
storage coefficient are summarized in table 3. Maximum
measured discharges and specific capacities are also
included, but may not reflect the true potential yield
because of differences imposed by casing size, well
construction, and effectiveness of development and pumping
techniques. Transmissivity, a measure of the rate at which
water flows through a vertical strip of the aquifer 1-foot
wide extending through the full saturated thickness under a
unit hydraulic gradient, was determined by maintaining
constant discharge in the test well and measuring drawdown
in the test or observation well. Transmissivity ranged from
4,000 to 9,900 ft2 day-' (square feet per day) (30,000 to
74,000 gpd per ft). Transmissivities in excess of
1,300 ft2 day-' (10,000 gpd per ft) are generally considered
to be adequate for most industrial or municipal purposes.

•
The transmissivity values for test wells 1 and 2
(figs. 7-8) were determined from measurements of drawdown or
recovery during the flowing tests of these wells. During
the pump test of production well 1 (fig. 9), test well 4
was used as an observation well to record changes in head.
This test provided a good record by which to analyze storage
coefficient (fig. 10), which is the volume of water released
or taken into storage per unit of surface area of the aquifer
per unit change in head. The measured storage coefficient,
7.5 x 10-1, is typical for a confined aquifer. In most
confined aquifers, values are in the range of 10-5 to 10-3,
indicating that even moderate withdrawals of water will cause
pressure changes over extensive areas.
The shape of the time-drawdown curves (figs. 8-12)
during constant -discharge tests is related to the aquifer
geometry and the position of hydraulic boundaries. If the
slope of the time-drawdown curve is generally constant, as
in figures 8 and 9; or if the data plot on the type curve,
as in figure 12, the test is said to be unaffected by
boundary conditions. But, when the slope of the curve
steepens with time and changes markedly, as in figure 10,
an impervious hydraulic boundary condition may be the cause.
This implies, when geologic information is also considered,
that the eastern edge of the confined aquifer may coincide
with the eastern limit of the abandoned -channel deposits
and that water inflow from this direction is reduced
by an impermeable boundary. No boundaries were detected
during the test of production well 1; possibly another
production well could be drilled west of production well 1.
The hydraulic tests provide information that can be
used to calculate (1) rate of lowering of water level with
time at any place within the cone of depression and (2) shape
and position of the cone of depression at a given time within
the area tested. For example, the drawdown of water level
in the confined aquifer at various distances from the pumped

well in Beaver Creek valley can be predicted using the values
of transmissivity and storage coefficient and knowledge of
boundary conditions determined from the hydraulic tests in
this area. Figure 13a is a graph of predicted decline in
water level at a distance, r, from production well 1 after
pumping from storage for t days. Some assumptions made in
preparing the graphs are: (1) the aquifer is areally homo-
geneous and infinite in extent; (2) transmissivity and
storage coefficient as determined from the test of production
well 1 are representative of the aquifer; (3) the well is
pumped at a continuous rate of 500 gpm; and (4) all water
pumped is taken from storage. Figure 13b is a graph showing
predicted decline in water level at various distances front
production well 1 after pumping specified quantities for
1 day. These graphs can be used to predict optimum spacing
of wells when used in conjunction with economic and engineer-
ing considerations beyond the scope of this report.
On the basis of the available aquifer -test data, the
city of Kenai should be able to obtain the required 650 gpm
sustained average flow or 3,000 qpm for 10 hours from two
or three properly spaced and constructed wells in the Beaver
Creek valley.
Quality of Ground Water
The water from all wells was of the sodium bicarbonate
type and of good quality (table 4). Iron content ranged
from 0.08 to 0.80 mg/l, which is low for the Kenai area.
The water samples ranged in hardness from 1 to 95 mg/l.
Some of the samples had a slight hydrogen sulfide odor and
an amber color.
In all test and production wells, except test well 1,
the quality of water was similar throughout the drilled
interval. The water from test well 1 had the highest
chloride content, which also increased with depth of drill-
ing. This well -is located within a zone of salty ground

water that is known to occur near the Cook Inlet shoreline
and in some of the deeper wells inland from the coast.
Test well 1 is near wells numbers 4 and 5 (T. 5 N., R. 11,
sec. 10. fig. 2), which have chloride contents of 446 and
400 mg/l, respectively. The boundary of the salty water is
not accurately known.
FUTURE POTENTIAL FOR GROUND -WATER DEVELOPMENT
Efficient development and utilization of the ground-
water resources in the Beaver Creek valley will require
continued exploration drilling and testing programs, followed
by properly engineered production wells and a realistic
program of well -field management.
Design of Exploration and Testing Program
A continuing exploration and testing program should
have a two -fold purpose: (1) to locate sites suitable for
production wells, and (2) to delineate the extent and
geohydrologic character of the ground -water reservoir.
Areas considered favorable for continued exploration
occur within the unit mapped as abandoned -channel deposits
(fig. 2); specifically, the following areas bear considera-
tion: (1) between test wells 1 and 2 and 2 and 4, (2) north
of the Kenai Spur highway, and 3 between production well I
and the western boundary of the abandoned -channel deposits.
Each proposed production well should be preceded by a
test well to evaluate the ground -water potential and to
eliminate the expense of drilling an unsuccessful production
well. The test well would provide data to be used to
efficiently design the production well and to serve as an
observation well during the aquifer testing. The hydraulic
information thus acquired is essential in the future design
of the water -supply system and in its operation and manage-
ment.

0 0
The predicted distance-drawdown curves for production
well 1 (fig. 13) together with engineering and economic
considerations can be used as a guide in selecting the
spacing of test sites for additional production wells. The
known physical and hydrologic characteristics of the Beaver
Creek aquifer probably will allow the development of a
fairly close -spaced system of wells. This suggestion is
supported by the predicted distance-drawdown curve of
production well 1 and by the fact that there are approxi-
mately 250 feet of available drawdown.
Well Construction and Development
The effective design and construction of additional
successful production wells in Beaver Creek valley should
take into account the fact that most of the sediments are
fine grained --sand interbedded with silt and clay and
contain many fragments of wood and coal.
The thin beds of fine-grained sand in the Beaver Creek
aquifers may be capable of yielding large amounts of water
to wells, but the beds are difficult to screen and to de-
velop. During the drilling of test well 2, for example,
the stratified sandy clay and sand unit from 210 to 250 feet
produced very little water. However, after development the
geophysical logs showed that the uncased hole had remained
open between 210 and 240 feet and that this lower unit was
contributing approximately 25 percent (fig. 4) of the well
discharge. Consequently, the successful drilling and
completion of wells in these materials will require careful
well construction, screening, and development.
During the drilling of test wells 1 and 2, great quan-
tities of wood and coal fragments washed to the surface.
Approximately 12 hours after test well 2 had been screened
between 208 and 218 feet, the discharge decreased by one-half.
After perforating between 143 and 206 feet, the flow returned
to maximum. Exploration showed no flow from the screened

driller reasoned that the screens had been plugged by wood
and coal fragments. An easy solution to removal of wood and
coal from the screen mesh or periphery is not readily
apparent. This problem deserves further study.
WELL -FIELD MANAGEMENT
Proper management of ground -water resources in Beaver
Creek valley requires continued monitoring activities and a
refinement of hydrologic concepts. Continuous records
should be kept of all withdrawals of ground water and of
water -level changes in selected observation and production
wells. Samples of ground water for chemical analysis should
be collected periodically from wells along the Kenai River
and Cook Inlet. Data -collection activities should continue
and records should be obtained on any new test well or
pumping test. Data gained from drilling and testing addi-
tional wells throughout the valley followed by monitoring
of the water -level decline associated with pumping these
wells will help to establish the optimum pumping schedules
for the well field and to design for further expansion. As
more data are acquired, consideration should be given to
the construction of a model of the ground -water system.
This will help to predict the future response of this system
to use.

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

FOR: Council meeting of 11/3/93
Attached is Jack and Rachel's memo dated 10/26/93 concerning DOT/PF's request for
$5,000.00 to redesign the storm drain on the subject project.
Public Works would like to give DOT/PF the approval to get started on the redesign. The
Ordinance (No. 1573-93) to appropriate the funds for this project should cover this
additional $5,000.00, however it does not pass until November 17, 1993.
If the Council approves. Public Works would like to give DOTJPF the approval to
start the redesign with the understanding that Council will be approving the funds (at
least $5,000.00) to pay for the redesign at their 11/17/93 meeting.

MEMORANDUM
Date: October 26, 1993
From: Jack La Shot, City Engineer
Rachel Clark, Engineering Tec nicianly�
To: Keith Kornelis, Public Works Director
subject: spur Highway Water and sewer Crossings
Attached is a preliminary estimate for the Water and Sewer
Crossings we are designing, including:
Swires - Water and Sewer (for future growth)
Highbush- Water and Sewer (for future growth)
East Aliak - Water (for hydraulic efficiency)
Tinker Lane - Water (for hydraulic efficiency)
The State proposed storm drain and our proposed sewer line at
Swires conflict. If the City had to go over the storm drain, we
would loose about four feet of elevation, and would probably
eventually need to install a lift station to serve additional
area. We recommend that the City pay the State to re -design the
storm drain alignment. The State should be able to do this for
about $5,000.00. No additional construction costs should be
necessary.
The City will also have to pay for a percentage of the fixed
costs for this project. We estimate this should be about 15% of
the base amount (see attached sheet for individual items).
Construction Inspection should be about 5% of the base amount.
We should let the State know about the storm drain alignment as
soon as possible to give them enough time to re -design for a
preliminary review sometime in November or early December and a
final review in January/February.

Kenai, Alaska 99611
Dear Mr. La Shot:
You will find enclosed a cost estimate from the Department's design consultant for a
redesign of the proposed storm drain system in the area of Kenai Spur Highway/Swires
Road Intersection. It is estimated that the proposed storm drain pipe in conflict with
your sanitary sewer design can be raised several feet. Please review the redesign
estimate, and let us know if you would like us to proceed with the changes to the storm
drain system.
The costs to the City of Kenai for the redesign of the storm drain system will be
included in the Reimbursable Services Agreement (RSA), to be included in the
Standard Utility Agreement between the State of Alaska and the City of Kenai. A copy
of the RSA agreement format is also enclosed for your review.
Should you have any questions, or require additional information please feel free to
contact this office.

RE: Implications of Full Funding
and sever Main and Extension
Water and sever Expenditures
Improvement Budget
Council •,
ager
for the Thompson Park Water
s as yell as 1993-94 One-time
as Budgeted in the Capital
The attached financial analysis performed by the City Finance
Director shows that Kenai's water and sewer fund balance of over
$1,000,000 (that took approximately 16 years to accumulate) will be
depleted shortly. The past four months of one-time expenditures,
including the bidding of the Thompson Park water and sewer system
and other one-time water and sewer expenditures, will have depleted
the fund balance ($320,000 in capital items in FY94 water and sewer
budget and FY94 fund balance appropriation of $140,000 as well as
$250,000 to fund FY94 Kenai Spur Highway water and sewer crossings
for future needs).
COUNCIL ACTION NEEDED[CONSIDERATION:
Since the City of Kenai increased water and sewer rates by 22% in
July 1993, it is unlikely that any rate increase would be
considered for several years. However, any rate increase may be
deferred in the future if these one-time expenditures for water and
sewer extensions and projects (such as the approximate $250,000 for
water and sewer crossings at the Kenai Spur as part of the Kenai
Spur upgrade by Alaska Department of Transportation and Public
Facilities) would be reimbursed through legislative funding sources
or other federal or state ISTEA sources. However unlikely, AK DOT
ISTEA or EDA grants should be pursued as the options are to pay
with local utility rates or other local sources.
Therefore, the combination of the Thompson Park water and sewer
extension and the one-time Kenai Spur Highway water and sewer
crossings will cause a deficit balance in the water and sewer
funds. The water and sewer fund will pay for the balance of the
projects not already funded through existing state grants or
special assessments. Long term, approximately $600,000 over the
next ten years will eventually return to the City's water and sewer
fund from the Thompson Park special assessments. This $600,000
will not be available until assessments are paid.
WATER AND SEWER FUND PROJECTIONS: IF THE CITY CONTINUES ONE-TIME
EXPENDITURES AND FINANCES THEM WITH THE WATER AND SEWER FUND
BALANCE, IT WILL FORECLOSE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD UP WATER AND
SEWER RESERVES ALREADY SPENT DOWN TO A DEFICIT CONDITION. HOWEVER,
IF THE EXISTING WATER AND SEWER RATES ESTABLISHED IN JULY, 1993 DO
NOT HAVE TO FINANCE ONE-TIME EXPENDITURES FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
PROJECTS, THE CITY MAY BE ABLE TO ADD AS MUCH AS $100,000 -
$180,000 ANNUALLY TO THE WATER AND SEWER FUND BALANCE.
Some of the City's future capital grant money may be used to pay
for the water portion of the 1994 upgrade. However, the City needs
more information from the Public Works/Engineering Department to
determine costs and eligibility for legislative grants. The Mayor
and City Council should not proceed with other water/sewer projects
until these alternate funding sources are secured.

lessees are current in lease payments.
The City Attorney has reviewed the document and notes this is not
our standard form. Paragraph 4 of the consent form differs to a
degree with Paragraph 31(d)(2) of the lease, but shouldn't be a
problem if the State is given prompt notice of a default.
Does the Kenai City Council approve the Agreement and Consent to
Assignment of Lease for Security Purposes for Lot 3. Block 4,
Fidalgo Commercial Center? If Council approves the assignment for
security purposes, the City Manager can execute the document.

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

Re: Kenai LNG Plant and LNG Ship "Polar Eagle"
Dear Mayor Williams:
N ; r CLERK
KENA
Marathon Oil Company and Phillips Petroleum Company cordially invite you to
tour the Kenai LNG Plant and the new LNG ship "Polar Eagle". The date for the tour
is Saturday, November 20, 1993.
For those outside the Kenai area, arrangements are being made to charter an
airplane to fly attendees from Anchorage to Kenai leaving approximately 8:30 a.m.
The tour of the plant and ship will begin at 9:30 a.m. and lunch will be provided. We
plan to depart Kenai for arrival back to Anchorage approximately 2:30 p.m.
Phillips and Marathon have jointly owned this LNG project since 1969 with
products shipped and sold to Japan. Its continuous operation since that time
demonstrates the exceptional dependability and efficiency of LNG as a fuel and the
outstanding safety record of producing and shipping the product.
In June '93, the ship "Polar Eagle" was placed in service to carry LNG to
Yokohama Japan. This is the first of two new ships to be placed in service in 1993.
Replacing two older vessels, these new ships contain the latest technology and
demonstrate our commitment to long term future activity.
We realize the Saturday date may not be the most convenient for everyone, but
we are tied to the port schedule of the "Polar Eagle ". Nevertheless,, we hope you
will be able to join us on this worthwhile visit.
Please RSVP to Carol Coleman at Marathon in Anchorage at (907) 564-6460 by
November 11, 1993.
Upon confirmation of your attendance, we will provide you with additional
specific details about logistics for this trip. If you have any questions or would like
further information, please give one of us a call.

RE: White Ribbon Against Pornography Campaign
Dear Mayor Williams,

\'cv. I Ty OF KEIVa r

I am writing to you as part of the national White Ribbon Against
Pornography Campaign, sponsored by Morality in Media, a national
anti -obscenity organization.
I bring to your attention the increasing availability of pornography
in our community, be it through videos, magazines, movie theaters, etc.
Alaska is one of only eight states in the nation without an effective
state obscenity law. Such a law is crucial in curtailing hard.core
pornography and has been shown to decrease sex crimes.
I ask that you contact the appropriate city council official and
urge him/her to introduce a local obscenity ordinance. If you need more
information or help I'd be happy to give assistance.
Pornography promotes extramarital affairs, rape, incest, child molestation
and a general disregard for human dignity. Pornography is largely controlled
by organized crime and often decreases property values in a community.
May I hear from you please? Thank you.
Sincerely,

From: Kenai Ice Rink Task Force
re: rink feasibility summary
Nearly two years ago the city of Kenai commissioned a seven -member task force
to research and determine the feasibility of building an indoor ice rink in Kenai.
The committee has spent many hours researching the costs, revenues, expenditures,
and funding for a basic ice rink facility. Our task now will be to dispell misperceptions some
may have about our intentions. Also, we will continue to educate the public regarding the
comparisons constantly being made to the Central Peninsula Sports Center.
We will present our findings during a town meeting at the KCHS Cafeteria on Monday,
November 8th. An ice cream social will start at 6:30pm followed by a presentation at 7:OOpm.
Free child care is available and the public is encouraged to attend.
Your attendance at this function would be greatly appreciated. We anticipate a large
audience representing all user groups. Please call if you have concerns or suggestions.

None of the present user groups can expand as here is no ice available.
Major expansion of users is expected due to availability of facility y. Many new markets are
available in the Kenai Nikiski area as well as the rest of the peninsula.
Presently the rates for ice through out the state run from $110.00 to $125.00 per hour.
The present rate at Soldotna is $116.00 per hour. Open Skating is $4.00 per person .

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Carol L. Freas, City Clerk
City of Kenai
DATE: October 29, 1993
RE: PROPOSED ICE RINK - MINUTES RESEARCH
At the October 20, 1993 council meeting, I was requested to
research the council minutes for actions that may have been taken
regarding the City of Kenai committing $100,000 toward the
construction of the proposed ice rink.
Attached are copies of minutes from 1991, 1992 and 1993 in which
there was discussion regarding the ice rink. I found no obvious
consensus or vote on the City contributing $100,000 to the
project.
Finance Director Brown has advised me even if there was a motion,
no City funds can be committed without an ordinance appropriating
the money.

MOTION:
Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of the Consent Agenda as
amended and Councilman McComsey SECONDED the motion and requested
UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no objections. SO ORDERED.
ITEM B: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT
B-1. Eric Weatherby - Indoor Ice Rink.
Mayor Williams stated that he understood that the group of people
attending the meeting were there due to a statement that he made
and was heard on the radio. The statement was that there was no
interest in the community for the building of another hockey
rink. The statement was misconstrued. Mayor Williams stated
that the City had formed a committee which is chaired by
Councilman Measles to study the possibilities and feasibilities
for building a multi -purpose building for use as, among other
things, a hockey rink. The committee is awaiting cost
information, etc. Mayor Williams added the Council had placed
the hockey rink on the CIP list and requested $500,000. When
speaking with the legislators, the Mayor has been told that if
the City can get other sources of revenue to build the building,
they indicated that they will match the amount received. The
Mayor suggested that perhaps the City could put up $500,000, the
Borough $500,000, the North Peninsula Recreation Area $500,000,
etc. Mayor has been told that the NPRA has declined. They have
other priorities for monies which they may receive from the
legislature. Mayor added that the ice rink is not a first
priority for the City.
Eric Weatherby - He has been a member of the Kenai Peninsula
Hockey Association for over five years. Mr. Weatherby stated
that the KPHA is very interested in the building of another ice
rink. Mr. Weatherby informed Council of the ice scheduling
problems which occur at this time. Also, Mr. Weatherby stated
that the KPHA have 251 participants in their program. There are
approximately 170 participants from Soldotna, 62 from Kenai, and
19 from Nikiski. Outdoor rinks do not give strength to the
hockey program. The KPHA has been in existence for 17 years.
Mr. Weatherby stated that there is definitely support in the
community for another hockey rink.
Mr. Weatherby informed Council that during the Thanksgiving
Hockey Tournament, the economic impact to Soldotna was
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
FEBRUARY 20, 1991
PAGE 7
approximately $131,797 in expenditures during a four -day weekend.
He believes a multi -purpose building would be wise. With another
building, there could be two state tournaments held at the same
time which would impact the economy of the area.
Mayor Williams stated that the cost projection of a multi -purpose
building could be approximately $3M for a standard -sized rink,
48,000 sq.ft. building.
Councilman Smalley stated that ice skating is a life -time
activity. Smalley believes that a recreational community -use
facility needs to be pursued. Smalley asked if the the use of
the facility will pay for the construction. Answer, probably
not. Smalley stated that if people want the building, other
funding should be reviewed. If there is not enough interest,
then the project should not proceed.
Councilwoman Monfor stated that supportive people need to come
forward. The Council needs to know if the Nikiski numbers are
there. The City could take money from the General Fund for
construction of the building. The City owns the land, so there
is not that expense.
Mayor Williams suggested placing a proposition on the ballot in
October to construct a multi -purpose building. The cost could be
borne by raising the mill rate by approximately one mill. Mayor
Williams asked the public attending the meeting if they thought
enough support could be gathered to bond for the project. Answer
was yes.
Mayor Williams stated that he will ask Councilman Measles to
continue discussions and the Council will take under
consideration the possibility of placing on the October ballot
the question of a General Obligation bond which will obligate the
citizens to pay for the building. There is a possibility that
the cost of the whole project would not need to be bonded.
Clerk Freas was requested to review the structure of the
committee with Councilman Measles and have KPHA represented on
the committee.
Councilman Smalley stated that perhaps the Clarion and Times
could help inform the public to promote feedback to Council so
they will have a better understanding of the public interest in
the project.

Rainey, HEA, will discuss this request with Father Targonsky.
Mr. Rainey added that he will bring back information to Council
at their next meeting in regard to options that may be available.
C. Stated that he was opposed to the allowance of the
proposed art gallery to be placed in the building across from the
church. He believes that is it in the conservation district and
not in a commercial zone. He believes it would be very
distractive to the church setting. Councilman Smalley stated
that the Planning & Zoning Commission will be reviewing the
request. The Historical Zone is fairly open. Targonsky believes
it to be in the Conservation Zone. City Manager Brighton asked
if the junk cars had been removed from the parsonage yard.
Targonsky stated that his son is repairing one of the cars and
will be removing it when it is running. The other car has been
removed.
Ron Rainey - Asked if the City can set up a Local Improvement
District in order to have bank erosion stabilization done in his
neighborhood. Public Works Director Kornelis stated that it is
preferable for the property owners to petition for the LID and
then approach the City.
J-2. Council
Walker - Stated that their seems to be money to spend on parks,
courthouses, etc., but none for servicing roads. Walker finds
this totally unacceptable. Sometimes it takes two days before
streets are plowed. The new budget should upgrade the funding
for road service, additional manpower, equipment - whatever is
needed. If the road services are not upgraded, then they are not
being effective for the citizens. There needs to be action taken
on roads.
Swarner - Asked Councilman Measles for update on the ice rink
committee. Measles stated that they are working slowly. They
are not recommending anything yet. Cost would be at least $2.5
million. They are considering an Olympic -sized rink.
Swarner requested more cost information brought forward with
resolutions such as Resolution No. 91-8 (courthouse). Williams
stated that cost information is difficult to give due to not
having a land appraisal yet. It will be some time before any
funds will be spent.

Councilman Smalley - Reported that a Kenai Hockey Association
booster has stated the association is very interested in pursuing
the investigation of building an ice rink in the City of Kenai.
He wants to present the Council with a petition at the June 5
meeting. Smalley directed him to call the Clerk to be placed on
the agenda. Further, the gentleman stated that his association
supports placing a bond proposition on the ballot for building an
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
MAY is, 1991
PAGE 32
ice rink/recreation facility in the City. Smalley told him to
call Councilman Measles to discuss it. Measles stated that
something else has come along to pre-empt the plan. Measles will
not support a bond proposal.
Councilman Smalley also referred to the use of the old Quandt
property along the highway. He believes vehicles have been
parked on the right-of-way. City Manager Brighton stated that
the City pursued this violation when Quandt owned the property.
The State was informed that Quandt had to comply with the City
zoning code. The State did not pursue. The property is now
being used differently. The new owner may not be in violation.
Smalley asked that Administration investigate the cost of
enforcing the lease and zone. There were no objections.
Mayor Williams - Referred to Administrative Assistant Howard's
memorandum in the packet regarding airport leases. Also,
Williams informed Council that he received a status report from
Brad Gilman this afternoon (memo was distribute to Council at the
beginning of the meeting). Williams stated that as soon as the
legislative session is over, he will turn his attention to this
matter.

ITEM B: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT
B-1. Nate Kiel - Public Support for an Indoor Recreational
Ice Rink Facility for the City of Kenai.
Mr. Kiel introduced himself as the Head Hockey Coach at KCHS, a
volunteer KPHA coach and representing various user groups of the
ice rink. Mr. Kiel believes that there is an assessed need and
lots of perspectives for the possibility of building of an ice
rink in Kenai. There is a lack of ice time available for user
groups at the Soldotna Ice Rink.
Mr. Kiel distributed a packet of information, letters of support,
etc. to all the Council Members. Also, a packet of information
was distributed to the Mayor which included those letters of
support, plus petitions with adult signatures. At this time
there are over 400 signatures of adults (18 years or older) from
the City of Kenai on the petitions. There has been lots of
active interest from users from the Nikiski area as well. There
are nearly 100 signatures on petitions from that area. Their
petitions are still available for signature in different places
in the City.
Mr. Kiel believes that youth support should be considered as an
integral part for the decision of whether to build an ice rink or
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JUNE 51 1991
PAGE 8
not. All age levels of students are interested in having another
activity place in the winter. He has received signatures from
250 students from four to five Kenai area schools.
Mr. Kiel stated that the public concern is the size and cost of
this type of project. There opinion is that the facility should
be a facility somewhat smaller in respect to the Sports Center
and less cost. Approximately $2 million.
Mr. Kiel stated that the City is well on its way to receiving
support of this type of project. Mr. Kiel stated that the
packets include letters of endorsement from the Denali Figure
Skating Club, Boy's & Girl's Club, Morris Redford/MicMac Club,
Rusty Blades, High School Booster Clubs (4), etc. Also, Mr. Kiel
read a resolution in support of the project from the KPHA.
Mr. Kiel stated that ice time now has children skating at 5:30
a.m. This is very hard for participation for the Nikiski area.
Mr. Kiel stated that the KPHA has done a study which shows how
their Thanksgiving Tournament affects the area's income. Mr.
Kiel believes that this type of project will make a profit. Mr.
Kiel and those he represents are asking the Council to
investigate and devise a plan of action and make it available to
the public and to work with them (user groups) to build such a
facility.
Smalley asked how much money the KPHA study states was brought
into the area. Mr. Kiel estimated it in excess of $100,000 which
is from motels, food, tournament fees. They turn down teams for
the tournament due to lack of ice.
Williams stated that some members of the Council and public have
been looking into the possibility of building such a facility for
some time. They are very concerned about the cost. There are
grant monies sometimes available, however they are hard to be
awarded. One possibility is to split the cost of such a facility
with Nikiski or the Borough and maybe the State with the City of
Kenai. The City of Kenai may be able then to furnish the real
estate. If the facility would cost $1.75 million, a one mill
increase in property tax may have to be assessed. The budget
will be affected if the mill rate is increased. This would
increase the tax on a home about $100 per year. A bond
proposition will need to go before the voters. The voters will
have to be convinced that the facility will benefit the whole
community. Williams stated that he is waiting on information
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JUNE Sr 1991
PAGE 9
from Holmsten Ice Rinks regarding costs. and types of rinks.
Williams believes that a preliminary cost may be $2.75 million.
Monfor asked when a resolution, etc. needs to be passed to put a
proposition before the voters in October. Williams stated that
the bond attorneys need to be consulted as to how much time it
will take. He is trying to set up a meeting now regarding a
revenue bond.
Monfor requested information for the last meeting in July.
Williams stated that the question needs to be answered, whether
they feel a bond issue will be successful or approachable. It
may take one to three years to get grant monies. If a bond issue
is passed, a facility could be built and in use by next fall.
Williams stated that bond issues in the City of Kenai have been
hazardous.
Smalley stated that according to the information of the income to
the City of Soldotna from one tournament, the City could yield
one-half million dollars from five tournaments. The business
community could make quite a profit from such a facility. At a
call of hands, it was approximated that 40 people in the audience
were in support of such a facility.
Carla Shervanick - Stated there would be a savings in gas to get
to practice. Also, a savings of approximately $300 per weekend
from not traveling to Anchorage for tournaments.
Williams suggested that if a bond was received, there would be an
increase in the tax rate. If the revenue exceeds the operating
costs, the bond may be retired early.
Walker asked the audience if anyone was not willing to pay an
increased 1.5 mills in tax. There were no hands. Walker
suggested to continue forward with the investigation.
Mark Hall - Stated he has six children playing hockey. His
family spends a great deal of time at the Sports Arena in the
winter. One of his sons received a scholarship to play hockey.
Williams stated again that the preparation of a bond question for
the October election will be investigated. There were no
objections from the Council.
for suggested raising the sales tax by $.01 so that anyone
pping in Kenai would be paying for the facility, not just
Derty owners. Williams stated that he believed a one cent
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JUNE 51 1991
PAGE 10
increase in sales tax would pay for the building in three years.
An increase in sales tax does not have to be brought to the
voters, it can be done by Council. Measles reminded Council that
the increase in sales tax does not need voter approval, however,
an expenditure of $1 million to build the building will need
voter approval. Williams stated that this proposed facility
would be built on City -owned property.
Williams stated that they will investigate whether the City can
support a one cent sales tax increase or would it rather bond
with an increase in the mill rate. Kiel stated he is concerned
with the question of raising the mill rate. The history of bond
issues with the voters has not been good. Kiel asked if a
combination of funding is possible. Williams stated that it may
be possible to propose a one cent sales tax increase and retire
that increase when the debt is paid. Then it may be possible to
go to the legislature and give one-half a mill to the project.
They may fund it if it is done on an area -wide basis. There are
a number of ways to put the package together.
Kathy 8eus - She suggested that the Council not vote on the
proposal at this time. Williams stated that the issue will have
to go before the voters. The Council will not make this decision
other than deciding to put it on the ballot.
Lt. Patton, Salvation Army - Stated his opposition to a one cent
sales tax increase for three years. Patton stated that there are
over 443 cases of poverty in the community. A one cent increase
in sales tax would impact those people very badly. This increase
may not be the most beneficial way to handle the project.
Gentleman from audience - Asked if the Bicentennial building went
before the voters on a ballot. Williams answered no. It was not
necessary as the funding is grant money.
Gloria Blume - Stated her support of the project. Ms. Blume
stated that there are many children in the area that benefit
greatly from being involved in the KPHA program. More than words
can express. The motive of the project should be to help
children.
Williams asked the Council if they wished to explore the bond
issue and/or sales tax issue. Answer: Yes.

Monfor asked that it be brought back to Council at a time
specific. Williams offered that in order to have time to contact
the bond attorneys, etc. he suggests waiting to the last meeting
in July or the first meeting in August.

B-2. Jack Brown - Request for Resolution of Support or
Letter of Non -Opposition to Nikiski Incorporation as a
First/Second Class City.
Assemblyman Hodgins spoke to the Council. Assemblyman Superman
was in the audience. Hodgins stated that they were requesting a
letter of non -objection or resolution of support/non-objection to
the Nikiski incorporation as a second-class city. A draft
resolution was included in the packet. It is part of the
Community and Regional Affairs process to have letters of non-
objection/resolutions from neighboring communities. They will be
traveling to Tyonek and Beluga Bay to request the same.
They wish to form a second-class city/home-rule city. In order
to be a first-class city, they first must be a second-class city.
They intend to form the least obtrusive government as possible.
The catalyst for incorporating is the Borough's investigation to
dissolve road service areas and forming one service area. They
feel that would take away local control and they would not get
value of their tax dollars. The Borough is also investigating
the dissolutionment of fire service areas. Their city would
retain only the road, fire and recreation areas. Boundaries have
been discussed. At this time they are considering taking in the
fire service on the Tyonek side and Nikiski area, approximately
600 square miles of land. Their biggest hoop is the Nikiski
residents. A generic budget and narrative were included in the
packet.
Hodgins stated further that no specific services are needed to
form as a second class city. They are starting with fire, roads
and recreation. Other services will come as needed. The only
municipality affected by their incorporation will be the Borough.
This proposed resolution has not been brought before the Borough
as yet. Mayor Gilman is to bring a resolution forward to the
Assembly.
Williams asked if the Borough will try to make up any loss of
municipal assistance from the State by increasing taxes. Hodgins

Herman Fandel - Stated that this item is too important to be
skipped over in a few minutes. Fandel handed out an aerial view
of property he is selling in Nevada. He was thinking of
investing the money in this area ($14 million). Fandel stated
that he does not know of anybody that asked for this tax (second
whereas). Also, if the third whereas includes hotel/motel
operators, it should include lots of others. The Council is
investigating raising sales tax for a skating rink, the Borough
is raising taxes. These will all affect them. Fandel suggested
charging a liquor, cigarette, car rental, restaurant, real estate
agency, attorney, dentist, doctor, eye doctor, etc. tax.
Fandel believes the room tax is ridiculous. He does not know how
the hotel/motel business can add this tax on and compete. Fandel
does not want the business the Visitors Bureau may send. He
would, however, be willing to pay a commission for reservations
made through them. Fandel believes the tax is an unjust solution
and thinks it will end up hurting the community. Fandel added
comments how he believes the tourist business has been hurt by
the lack of king salmon in the Kenai River and how the eastside
setnetters have hurt the run.
Delores Crowley - General Manager of the Kenai Kings. Crowley
reiterated what she stated at the work session. She and the
owner object to the tax. They believe it to be unfair to new
business owners. They have had no input. They are willing to
give ten percent to the Chamber of Commerce or Visitors Bureau
for anyone they send to their hotel.
Crowley stated that they would rather maintain the number of
employees they have. Crowley believes that the Council is making
a serious mistake to impose a tax on a few businesses. Crowley
suggested having rental owners pay a bed tax. Crowley stated
that the owner sees a future here, but she is already being asked
to pay more and more than anyone else is willing to share. They
want to pay their employees, however they can lay them off.
They hotel/motel owners have not been able to meet to discuss and
investigate some other way to raise these funds. She hopes
Council will share the burden with other businesses in the
community instead of a select few.
Smalley stated that there is no language in the substitute in
regard to paying a set percentage rate for bookings. Williams
stated he spoke with Attorney Graves. They are making an
official statement of record that the intention of the Council,

Williams reported that he met with Neil Johansen. A meeting is
set for August. He, Brown, and Graves met with the bond bank in
regard to the Court House project. He had a telephone call from
Seattle First and they are interested. It will be a while yet
before financing the court house. It is not possible to finance
it with Alaska Bond Bank money as the State cannot lease from
themselves. Meetings are continuing. The tri-signature letter
came through for Snowden. This will be next spring's project.
Williams spoke with Brad Gilman and two members of Stevens'
staff. Gilman is working diligently on the Helicopter Cold Water
Recovery Facility.
Williams met with the EDA Director, Joyce Hampers. She came to
view projects on the Peninsula. Bernie Richert, also attended.
It was an interesting meeting.
Williams received a telephone call from J.B. Spracher regarding
the Merchant Marine monument for Memorial Park. Spracher stated
that he did not realize it would cost so much money to make their
monument. He has not been able to get much help to work on it
either. Spracher requested Williams to speak to Council for
money. Williams suggested that they install the anchor and mast
and the City could pour the pedestal when pouring the sidewalks.
Williams stated that Toloff can put the anchor in place and
Spracher will put in the mast. Swarner stated as long as it does
not cost money. Williams stated that Toloff will donate the
crane to place the anchor. Walker requested a fiscal note for
that before he gives his okay.
Kornelis stated that he can add another bid schedule to the
sidewalk project and then can see at the time the bid is awarded
what the cost will be.

don't think we'd be required to even pave that. Which means we
could possibly get away with that, I don't know. MCCOMSEY: Is
that going to have to be an amendment now, before we accept this?
KORNELIS: No, I don't believe there is anywhere that it
stipulates that we have to pave. WILLIAMS: I want to say that
the Wildwood guys did a really great job on the walkway down at
the bird flats. I don't know how many hours they had in it all
together, but they were very good at that and they did a
tremendous job. KORNELIS: When we did the dirt work down
there. The city crews did it. WILLIAMS: The city crews did the
dirt work and we contracted the paving. KORNELIS: That and
driving the piles were the only actual construction contracted
that we did down there. WILLIAMS: Are you planning on building
this year? Next year? KORNELIS: Next year, I think. We're so
swamped right now. WILLIAMS: My opinion is that we ought to
accept the grant now. Take a look at it in the Spring and go
from there. MONFOR: Well, one thing good about it. The
campers living in their tents with no toilet facilities or

MOTION PASSED.
ITEM B-1 - ALLAN NORVILLE for Carr-Gottstein re: Old Carr's
Mall.
Mr. Norville opened with some background information regarding
this proposal referring to a February council meeting which he
attended. At that meeting there was a proposal put forth by the
hockey people for building a new ice arena at a considerable
cost. He met with a structural engineer to explore the
possibilities of putting an ice rink in the existing Carr's (old
mall) building and converting the balance of it to some community
uses. That engineer advised that it could be done at a
considerable savings. He spoke with the Carr-Gottstein people
who decided to explore it, which is the reason for this
presentation this evening. Mr. Kluge has done drawings and
feasibility studies and talked to different user groups. It
turns out there are more users than space. This proposal is a
venture that will be revenue producing. Users will pay for the
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JULY 3, 1991
PAGE 20
space and revenue will be produced by the rink. A 4-day hockey
event in Soldotna produced over $100,000 in revenue to the City
of Soldotna which included food, lodging and fees paid for the
ice rink. So, this is a venture that could make money. If it
doesn't, and there's a possibility that it may not, it's going to
provide a service to the community. There has been a tremendous
amount of support for a rink. It can be built for a
considerable amount less than another proposal that was put
forth.
Bill Rluce - Presented drawings and explained the layouts of the
proposed renovated old Carr's Mall building with three primary
functions for the building of an ice rink, a community center,
and proposed office areas for the Kenai Peninsula Borough
Economic Development District. The design included landscaping
added to the asphalt parking lot and a formal entry on the center
front. This design would accommodate the needs that are somewhat
provided by the local Armory building. The community great hall
dimensions are proposed at 160' x 801, which could seat
approximately 800 people in a banquet situation. The entry would
include an arctic entry and coat check area. As a multi -use
space, movable walls are incorporated to break down the larger
space into three smaller areas. Also, a receiving area for
catering. Three meeting rooms which may accommodate 50 people
each would be located along the sides of the great hall. A
dressing area is included behind the great hall to accommodate
theater groups. Mens and womens restrooms are at the ends of the
facility which would accommodate the ice rink as well as the
community center and the EDD portion. An area for chair and
table storage is included. The ice rink floor plan design
accommodates a 1851x 85' ice area, a concession area to the left
of the ice, an office/control point for skate rental and ticket
booth at the entry. Four team locker rooms, and a mechanical
area for a zamboni. He mentioned that $300,000 has been spent
for the visitor's center on side work and parking. The Kenai
Mall has existing parking that would run somewhere between
$700,000 to $900,000 if done new. You can't come close to
building a new space for an ice rink for what we would be able to
renovate the existing building for. It is in the prime part, the
heart of Kenai, with the new visitor's center coming up and new
congregate housing. He said he would hate to think what the
area would look like if not kept up or was allowed to go vacant
and deteriorate in the heart of our city. He passed around
renderings depicting the proposed spaces. Columns in the
present structure would have to be freed up and trusses are
proposed to clear span the existing building, to accommodate the

ice rink. There would be carpet wall coverings to absorb noise.
Mike Tagliavento. Kenai Peninsula Economic Development District
Mr. Tagliavento stated that through discussions with the City of
Kenai and working in conjunction with Allan Norville as liaison
for Carr-Gottstein, EDD has a very keen interest on the space
outlined as we have it right now. The creative door is open.
EDD doesn't necessarily want the whole facility. The scheme as
it is proposed right now with the ice rink and EDD's great
interest in the community center in order to begin to energize
convention marketing for Kenai and the peninsula.
The preliminary thinking of the EDD Board is that we are looking
at the far left side of the building for space, with the City of
Kenai taking the center portion and the ice rink concept. But,
it is all open for discussion.
Councilwoman Monfor commented that she hoped the newspaper makes
that their headline story, and then underneath bed tax 1993, so
that people can see the future and a rosier scenario.
MAYOR: Any questions or comments from council?
City Manager Brighton asked Mr. Tagliavento if EDD is still
talking with Homer Electric about their project over in Ridgeway
that wouldn't also be a possibility that could also fit into
this. Tagliavento replied no, that the Ridgeway scenario is not
going to generate revenue. This has to generate revenue to
service the debt.
Mayor Williams elaborated on the function of the EDD and how
many proposals first come to the City for consideration, and that
it takes several years for such development of projects. And
that it would behoove the community to take a little more
interest in what's going on at city hall.
Addressing Mr. Norville or Mr. Kluge - what is your next step in
reviewing this program?
Norville answered that they are asking for an opportunity to
explore the possibility of continuing the project, if there's an
interest on the part of the City Council, and possibly a
committee could be formed to work with the owners and architect
to see if it's feasible. He mentioned that creative financing,
KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
ZTULY 31 1991
PAGE 22
so that the facility pays for itself, is the key. That Mr. Bob
Vince of Carr-Gottstein is ready to come down immediately to work
with the City. And, the reality is that if this doesn't come
about, the Carr-Gottstein people will find a use for the
building. It's not going to sit vacant. Williams asked Mr.
Norville how much money are we talking about in terms of finance.
Norville replied we have to determine first if there is an
interest, that the plan has to work first, then the financing
would be explored.
Williams advised council that anything of this nature, regardless
of how much money we are talking about, if we incur debt, then we
need to go to a vote of the people, which must be a major
consideration in this whole thing. Norville commented that it
depends on who the user groups are and what the cost will be -
that's the key - breaking it up where we have different groups
supporting this. That's the only way it's going to work.
Williams asked that since Carr-Gottstein has funded the research
and analysis up to this point, are they willing to continue to
fund that through the economic discovery phase of it?
Norville replied that should be brought up if you meet with them.
He couldn't speak for them, but sees no reason why they wouldn't.
Williams mentioned that this would rest on the electorate, if in
fact that debt is incurred, and asked council if this is
something we should continue to explore or should we set up a
preliminary meeting with the Carr-Gottstein people and take a
little further in depth look at this.
McComsey was in favor of exploring the matter further and asked
if the EDD intends to take half of the building. Williams
replied that we don't know until there is a meeting of the
principles, Carr-Gottstein, EDD and the city. Brighton added,
and any other potential user. Williams Right - until a meeting
of the principles is put together and we can explore the whole
thing, I really don't know how we can answer any questions.
Walker pointed out that by a vote of the people we've already
seen a convention center turned down, so we should move very
cautiously.
Norville responded that he looks at this more as a community
hall. There are support facilities for the hockey. A community
center has been used in the presentation. He has met with user
groups that can pay. If not a community hall, then there are
different user groups. Looking at the growth of the community

Swarner advised there is a meeting next week. We are all

housing bill by July 5th.
D-2 Airport Commission
Randy Ernst announced a meeting on July lath, and referred
council to the memo regarding underground storage fuel tanks at
float plane basin.
Mayor Williams advised council that this is a major problem that
we face in handling fuel at the float plane basin. Recent
regulations state that we cannot allow elevated gravity fed tanks
anymore, nor buried tanks. This presents a dilemma as to how to
handle the fuel at the float plane basin, if at all. This may
call for a major expenditure in order to create a first-class
fueling system usable by all, with a common skimmer that is
acceptable to EPA. If the City is taut into a position of great
expense in order to enhance what,! -,-already have, then the FAA
should recognize the responsibil4 put on us by the EPA. We
will probably hear more about tt- from the Airport Commission.
We could go one way and do absc rely nothing and let the winds
blow, or turn in the other direction and spend a lot of money to
conform to federal regulations.
Taxi Parking at the Airport - There was a discussion between
Mayor Williams and Randy Ernst regarding the number of spaces
allowed for taxi parking, and alternative solutions to
accommodate the four taxi cab companies. Among the suggestions
would be to have one cab space with the cabs waiting in the short
term parking area for a turn at that one space. And it was
mentioned that Markair has two van parking spaces, but at times

meeting).
D-7. Miscellaneous Commissions and Committees
Mayor Williams requested a work session for Monday, September 9,
1991 to discuss the Carr's Mall. Williams stated that Carr's
requested the work session. Proposed costs are to be presented
to Council to review and decide whether the proposed ice rink
should be presented to the citizens at a special election.
Williams suggested that if the proposed costs are acceptable to
Council, that a Town Hall Meeting be held on October 9, 1991.
Approximately 75-100 letters should be sent to primary users of
the ice rink requesting them to attend the meeting. Williams
suggested further that at the meeting, petitions be available for
these citizens to take with them and seek signatures to request
the Council to place this question on a ballot and have a special
election, perhaps in February.

Williams stated that the petition should include one question --
how the remodeling should be done and should it be funded with a
one percent sales tax increase?
This way the responsibility is with the citizens. The sales tax
increase is a way the project can be funded without major
disruption to the finances of the City.

ITEM B: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT
B-1. Loris Every - City Maintenance of Sears Elementary
School Ice Rink.
Ms. Every submitted a letter requesting the City take over the
maintenance of the outdoor ice rink at the Sears Elementary
School in order that the rink stay at the school for the
community's use. Ms. Every's letter was included in the packet.
Ms. Every reviewed her letter with the Council.
City Manager Brighton stated that he discussed the rink with John
Dalgren at the School District. Mr. Dalgren assured Brighton
that if the City will provide the maintenance of the rink, the
rink will stay at Sears Elementary. Brighton stated that the
care would be comparable to that given the ice rink at the
Chamber (snow clearing and hot mopping).

Bob Bird - Spoke in support of keeping the rink at the elementary
school. Bird stated the rink is used by many families in the
Woodland area. Bird suggested that if the School District
requires (in the future) that the rink be moved, it be moved to
some empty lot in the Woodland vicinity.
Bird also suggested that Council investigate the building of an
outdoor cold -weather rink since the Carr's Mall indoor rink
proposal was quashed. Bird stated that just a roof over an
outdoor rink is helpful to cut the wind, etc. Bird believes
strongly that a cold -weather outdoor rink could be built for
$500,000. Bird hopes that the Sears outdoor rink stays where it
gets lots of use.
Smalley asked if there was other property where the rink could be
moved. Brighton stated he did not know. Smalley stated that he
hopes a hockey rink can be built, but knows it will take some
time.
Every asked when the maintenance would start. Brighton stated
that if the weather holds, it will probably start next week.
Williams stated that the Council, after hearing the proposal for
the Carr's Mall, decided that the project would be much too
costly. The City has been very conservative over the years with
regard to the debt service. The proposal would have tripled the
City's debt service. Had the Council approved the proposal, a
vote of the people would have been needed to bond. Williams
encouraged the public to form an ad hoc committee to investigate
costs and ideas for an ice rink. Smalley suggested they speak
with Nate Kiel who has some thoughts about cold -weather rinks.
Smalley asked of the public present at the meeting, how many came
in support of keeping the ice rink at Sears Elementary. Thirteen
people raised their hands. There were none in opposition.
Williams stated that it seems it is a worthwhile thing for the
City to do.
Bird added that an outdoor rink can be easily converted to a
cold -weather rink. Hockey tournaments could be held on cold -
weather rinks also.
Every stated that the materials and labor for the Sears
Elementary ice rink were donated. There was no money involved.

placed there. Williams also included in his discussion the
possibility of obtaining property beside the Toyon Apartments

a park. Discussion followed as to whether the grant received
for
the Kenai River Viewing Area could be changed to another
property. Kornelis stated that the request would have to go
through the grant procedures all over again. Kornelis added
one
of the major questions for the grant is ownership of the
property. Williams stated that he will discuss the question with
the Lt. Governor as he chairs the grant committee.
Williams stated that he is concerned about the number of parks
being put together. If this park would be a better value or
better location, perhaps the City would be better ahead to

Swarner stated there was a work session on February 18, 1992 due
to a lack of quorum.
Williams asked Kornelis if he had inspected the lift truck he
told him about. Kornelis stated that Shop Foreman Dave Reetz
inspected it and that there were major problems. Kornelis stated
he has located twelve other trucks to inspect in the northwest.
Betty Warren - Discussed her dismay at the procedure of not using
the sign-up list started long ago for those seniors interested in
living in the Congregate Housing. Warren was unhappy that a
time, place and date will need to be advertised and the seniors
will have to line up to sign up for space at the housing
facility. Smalley asked Attorney Graves if there was a legal
reason for doing so. Graves stated that the Task Force
unanimously approved the method of advertising. It will be a
first -come, first -served basis. Graves added legal reason for
this method that it protects the City from lawsuits. This
facility is due to a major expenditure of public monies and the
availability of space there requires major advertising to insure
that all have a chance to sign up.
Brighton added that Administration and the Task Force discussed
this extensively. Advertisement must be done to insure that all
have the same chance to rent space in the facility. Because the
building was built with taxpayers' money, it must be done this
way.
Williams stated that the people on the old list would be notified
of the sign-up day and time. Graves corrected Williams stating
that the sign-up day and time will be advertised in the newspaper
and on radio, etc. Warren stated the people on the old list need
to be made aware of the date the sign-up will take place. Graves
stated that the advertising will get the information to most
people. There is no guarantee that all the people will get the
information that way.
D-7b. Hockey Rink Task Force
Williams stated that he has a meeting scheduled with Borough
Mayor Gilman and will discuss the use of the property across from

met with representatives. The representatives requested a letter
of support from Council for the reopening of the school.
Williams stated that he and Brighton discussed Title 29 and the
responsibilities of the City and the State with regard to this
subject. Williams stated that he and Brighton suggested that
Council write a letter of support with the caveat that any
funding from the State would not be taken from that which would
come to the City of Kenai. The PTA representatives stated that
it will take approximately $3 million to reopen the school.
Measles stated that he could support the concept. Smalley stated
the building belongs to the Borough. Williams stated that the
group is frustrated because they are not getting any support to
reopen the building. The Assembly wants the question to go to
the voters of the Borough. Smalley stated he has no problem with
suggesting that the City supports it because the school is in the
City. However, it should not be done at the expense of the
losing money which should come to the City of Kenai. Revenue
sharing and Assistance will soon be depleted.
[Brighton stated that the City is maintaining the ice rink at the
ars Elementary School, which is a school responsibility. The
ty clears snow off the tracks, cleans up bonfire remains,
lunteers the firemen to oversee the bonfires, etc. Brighton
ated that the City is putting itself in a box doing things for
e school district and they do not do for Kenai.
lliams stated that the people will be asked to support the
ilding of an ice rink. Smalley stated that there will be many
her community groups which will support the ice rink.
Monfor stated that the other side of the discussion is the fact
that the school is situated in the middle of Kenai. Monfor does
not want to see it further destruct. It is not maintained at
this time. If the City supports, it will at least have some
control of the school.
Williams suggested sending a letter of support to the Assembly
and request the question of a bond issue be put on the ballot.
Monfor stated she felt it would have a better change with a bond
issue than getting money from the Borough.

Monfor stated that she noticed that the person sweeping the
sidewalks on Spur Highway was emptying the machine into Ryan's
Creek. Kornelis is to call the State and inquire.
Monfor stated that she thought Clerk Freas did an excellent job
in regard to the Student Government Day.
Measles - Stated to Brighton that the sweeper looks good.
Smalley - Thanked Brighton and Williams for spending time at KCHS
teaching in the Government classes. Smalley stated he has
received pleasant comments in regard to the street maintenance
this winter.
Smalley stated he was in Seattle with the hockey team and visited
four ice rinks that are converted grocery stores. All cost
approximately $1.8 million, which included renovations. They are
were privately owned and operate year around. Smalley will
report this information to the Hockey Rink Task Force.
Smalley requested an ordinance be drafted by the City Attorney
which will allow the donation of City property to non-profit
organizations.
Williams - Asked Clerk Freas to remind him to do a letter
regarding signage.
Williams stated that the Charter was amended some years ago
forming a trust account. The provision puts the City in a
dilemma. The State will be receiving the first $50 million from
the Exxon spill settlement. There is a bill introduced in the
Legislature that will appropriate that money to buy lands
affected by the oil spill. There is an opportunity to convert
the islands upstream in the Kenai River into cash. The property
would then be used by the State Parks Department for parks on the
other side of the river. Williams stated the City has an
opportunity to sell that property and the monies received would
be placed in the general trust fund. That money would not be
able to be used and that takes away the incentive.
Brighton stated that the trust fund is a protection. Brighton
was leery of anticipating the monies received from the spill will
be put into a fund. Measles agreed that the fund needs to stay
as it is. Measles stated he has a problem with the State buying
more land for any purpose. Measles added that the purchase of

The Townsite Historic ordinance was tabled from the agenda in
order that it could be reviewed again. There are some that want

B. The Hockey Committee is meeting this evening and it
looks like they are going to put together a building that will
come in under $1 million. 1501x250' in size. It will be a
weather -type rink - no refrigeration. Regarding the land next
door to the high school - it still is under ownership of the
State Dept. of Natural Resources and not in the Mental Health
Lands. There is a new opening for Borough selection of lands
and a fast track change of ownership is possible if it goes into
non-profit or public use. I will be bringing to council a
resolution requesting that the Borough apply for transfer of that
land into their ownership. Assemblywoman Glick will then offer a
Resolution to have the Borough do that. We could have ownership
in the Borough's hands within a year. Mayor Gilman indicated he
will support the issue and allow the use for a hockey rink. And
the only question will be financing of the hockey rink. I
suggested they go for lobbying efforts to raise as much monies as
possible. A building of that size can be of great benefit in the
summer months as well.

There were no public comments. Williams stated that he believes
this transfer can be fast -tracked to the Borough. Williams has
assurance from Mayor Gilman that the property will be dedicated
for a hockey rink. Williams added that the Task Force has
discussed a cold weather rink that will cost approximately $1
million. It would be used for a hockey rink in the winter and
other uses in the summer. Williams stated that he has discussed
with the City's legislators to use the remainder of the financing
for the Congregate Housing Project to build the rink.
Councilwomen Swarner and Monfor stated "NO." Councilwoman Monfor
stated that money will be used for the congregate housing
project. Monfor added that Council minutes state that the money,
which the seniors lobbied for, will be used for that project.
Williams asked Brown how much money is left in the account.
Brown answered, approximately $600,000. Brown added that thought
should be given to costs for change orders and problems in the
future that may use those funds.
Monfor stated that the project needs to be completed before using
the funds for other items. Monfor added that she will disagree
with using the funds left for other items "all the way." Monfor
stated that the Council made a commitment and she will not be
made a liar. Monfor stated that the seniors got the money
through their hard work and lobbying efforts. Williams stated

that he worked on getting the money also. Williams added that if
there is money left over, it could be used for other projects.
Williams stated that he has suggested to the hockey people that
there must be at least 100 families that are deeply dedicated to
the continuance of the hockey program. Williams added that those
people will need to donate one of their Permanent Fund checks to
the project. Smalley added that those hockey families have
probably spent two to five of the checks toward the hockey
programs.
Williams stated that if the Council feels strongly about using
the Congregate Housing monies for the housing project, he will
find another way to find funding.

ITEM B: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT
B-1. Eleanor Thomson - "Christmas Comes to Kenai"
Ms. Thomson stated that she is the Executive Director of the
Kenai Chamber of Commerce, 402 Overland Street, Kenai.
Thomson referred to a letter included in the packet wherein the
Chamber was requesting the use of City property on which to have
the bonfire for the "Christmas Comes to Kenai" celebration.
Thomson stated that with the completion of the Visitors Center
and paving of the parking lot, the area where the bonfire was
held in the past is no longer available.
Thomson requested using the area in front of the Chamber cabin
I
hich has been used as an ice rink in the past. Mayor Williams
had suggested at the Parks & Recreation Commission, where she
discussed this matter, that a fire ring could be placed. The
bonfire could be placed there and in the Spring the area could be
cleaned out and used for a flower bed.
Councilman Bookey stated that the area the Chamber has suggested
to use will interfere with the area the Visitors' Center intends
to use for static displays. They will also be taking pictures of
the Center in the Spring. Bookey donated the use of his parking
lot, as he did last year, until another area is designated.
McComsey suggested that the City place and pay for the fire ring.
Monfor agreed and suggested that the park strip in front of Pizza
Paradisos be used. Frontage Road could be blocked off as it is
done for the Fourth of July celebration.
Williams stated that the Beautification Committee discussed this
matter at the Parks & Recreation Commission meeting. He
suggested they use the fire ring in the winter and convert it to
a flower bed in the Spring. The Beautification Committee would
like to place two or three rings throughout the city in the next
two to three years. Williams suggested they form a task force
and an "Adopt -A -Park" program for flower rings. The City would
not maintain those rings -- service organizations would.
Swarner stated that the Beautification Committee had discussed
placing a perennial flower bed in front of Pizza Paradisos. A
perennial flower bed could not be used as a fire ring.

changed the local share to 50% to populated municipalities of
5,000 to 10,000 and 30% for municipalities with population of
5,000-9,999. Williams stated he wanted to put Kenai into the 50%
category. Williams added that more work will be done on the bill
by the legislature and Kenai will probably come out in the 30%
category.
Measles asked Graves and Brown if there were any other things in
the bill that might create problems. Brown stated he was not
familiar with the bill.
William stated he was not sure if the bill would pass this

Smalley stated he did not believe it would make any difference if
they waited until the next meeting. Williams stated he
envisioned using this for funding for the proposed hockey rink.
Williams added the Governor will support funding the hockey rink
during the next session. Williams stated if council supports the
bill, it would be good to have a firm plan before the legislature
convenes next session.
Swarner stated she did not have a problem with voting on the
matter now. Swarner added she does not like the money going to
the small unincorporated areas. Measles asked what they define
the "named recipient" as. Williams stated non-profit
organizations like Boy's & Girl's Club, Little League, Forget -Me -

enjoyable and progressive. He stated that the five-year capital
plan was finished in two years under Tom's direction. Swarner
was told that Tom worked very well with the Council and was very
good at grant administration; he was business -like and in tune
with the environment and well-informed about city policies.
Williams stated that an article in the paper reported that
Mr. Manninen has a good credit report and owns a new car.
Councilman Measles suggested that a work session be called to
discuss the agreement with Mr. Manninen. It was decided to meet
Monday, May 24, 1993 at 6:00 p.m. in the Council chambers.
ITEM I. ADMINISTRATION REPORTS
I-1. Mayor
Mayor Williams stated that another $600,000 would be needed for
Thompson Park. The trunk line can be contracted and get it
started this fall. During fall and winter months the design can
be completed for Thompson Park. The other $600,000 can be
requested during the next legislative session.
Williams asked Council how they would feel about doing a variety
of small projects for about $1.5 million. He suggested doing a
prospectus describing the projects which could possibly include:
the Bernie Huss trail, the $300,000 for the regional animal
control center, development of a concession stand and bleachers
at the ball parks, improving the viewing area on the bluff, the
Heritage Village concept. Williams suggested thinking about
buying out the vacant lots in Old Town and preserving them for
use for the Heritage Village project. The fire truck might also
be included.
Councilwoman Monfor asked if the money the City receives from
Juneau wouldn't have to be matched by the City. Williams
answered that some may and some may not. He stated that the
Governor told Williams that he would put the hockey rink money in
his (the Governor's) capital improvement budget. Williams stated
that he want to use lots of back-up material in the prospectus
this year, and begin the process early.
Williams handed out a donation sheet to be used for collecting
donations for the hockey rink. Williams expects to collect
$100,000 in personal donations from the community. He stated it

ask the Lions Club, Rotary, etc. to volunteer to build it.

Swarner suggested Administration find pre -drawn plans from the
State. Council consensus was "no" to spending $3,000 for
restroom facility plans.

approximately 5,000 square feet. Williams suggested Council
consider this matter.

of different ways to raise money, i.e. Permanent Fund Dividend
check, City's money, etc.
Smalley stated he has discussed the brochure with Nate Kiel.
They are in need for an additional $150 for funding the brochure.
Smalley asked if the Mayor or the City could donate the $150.

interested to come up with the front money. Swarner stated the
City can give support with paper products, etc, but no money now.
No donation was approved.
I-2. city Manager
1. Fire Truck Grant - Manninen reported a letter
confirming the fire truck grant approval was received. The grant
is for $214,000. Manninen added nothing has been heard about the
water improvement grant as yet.
2. Water & Bever Increase Letter - Manninen reported the
water and sewer increase letter was revised and sent out.
Manninen offered a copy to anyone interested.
3. Well Drilling - Manninen reported the allotted amount
of money was spent for the well drilling. A test well was
drilled to 300 feet. Manninen passed water samples from the
present well and the test well. Manninen requested $10,000 to
either go deeper or pump water from the test well to see if it
gets clearer. Manninen stated the test well is a large source of
water, but is not very clear.
Measles suggested to go another 500 feet or so because he did not
think any wells have been drilled that deep here and no one knows
if there may be better water at that depth. Bookey was concerned
if the well is drilled to 500 feet, salt water may be found.
Kornelis stated he does not think that would happen. Kornelis
requested $4,500 more for drilling. Kornelis added he did not
know if they would have to go that far and maybe will not use all
that amount of money. However, if better water is found, they
will have it tested.
MOTION:
Councilman Measles MOVED to allow the not -to -exceed amount of
$5,000 be issues in a purchase order to Kraxberger Drilling for
continuing with the drilling of the exploratory water well.
Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion and requested UNANIMOUS

Faced with a real shortage of
prime ice time at the Central
Peninsula Sports Center in
Soldotna, there is an increasing demand for
a recreational ice rink in Kenai. In May,
1991, a presentation of endorsements and
petitions to the Kenai City Council demon-
strated the need for such a facility, including
support from over 500 local residents and
40 local businesses.
In February, 1992, the Kenai City
Council commissioned a seven -
member task force to research
and determine the feasibility of building an
ice rink in Kenai. Based on the enclosed
findings, the City of Kenai has named the ice
rink its top capital project for economic
development and tourism in 1993.
ImIt is the conclusion of the Task
Force that a viable, self-sufficient
facility can be built at a cost of
$1.8 million using minimal local tax dollars.
We feel that this project will not only serve
the skaters of today but, more importantly,
positively impact our city's economy and
quality of life in the years to come.

SPELLBOUND:
I have a spelling checker,
It came with my PC,
It plainly marks four my revue
Mistakes I cannot sea.
I've run this poem threw it,
I'm sure your please too no,
Its letter perfect in it's weigh,
My checker tolled me sew.

Proposed liability bond
requirement shocks Alaskans
Regulations would require $150 million in liability insurance for any
company or individual transporting or storing oil -or oil products in any quantity
Alaska's business community and rural electric coopera-
t. j are reacting with shock and disbelief over the develop-
ment of new federal regulations that could require individuals,
corporations and schools districts alike to post $150 million
worth of liability insurance before they can legally move or
store oil or oil products across navigable waters in Alaska and
elsewhere.
At issue are new regulations the U.S. Minerals Manage-
ment Service is developing to implement provisions of the Oil
Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA). The 1990 law increased the
financial responsibility requirements for companies handling
oil on the Outer Continental Shelf from $35 million to $150
million and expanded the requirement for financial responsi-
bility to all operating in navigable waters.
"The financial responsibility requirement of OPA be
read to literally include any person or persons trans rung or
storing any oil or oil products on or over navig a waters,"
said Paul Glavinovich, a mining geologist and Executive
Committee member of the Resource Development Council.
In Alaska, Glavinovich noted that navigable waters would
include not only coastal waters, but many rivers, streams,
lakes and wetlands — a dominant portion of the state.
"The law makes no exceptions for quantity," Glavinovich
noted. "If one moves as little as five gallons on a sled behind
a snowmachine across navigable waters, they are respon-
sible to the OPA requirements, as well as anyone operating
E lk farm, fuel transfer business, refueling station or utility
The OPA also increases the civil penalties for failure to
comply from $10,000 per incident to $25,000 per incident per
day.

Water quality standards must reflect good
science, not perceptions and hysteria
Message from the
Executive Director
by
Becky L. Gay
The Resource Development Council supports the State
of Alaska's efforts to regulate water quality standards in a
manner consistent with the realities of Alaska. RDC believes
the State has carefully considered standards which are
based on good science, not perceptions and hysteria.
In a state facing real human and social needs which
require competing public dollars, RDC supports water quality
standards which are scientifically and environmentally sound,
but also technically AND economically feasible.
Specifically, Alaska's water quality standards should
provide adequate environmental protection without unrea-
sonably impairing domestic, municipal, recreational, com-
- .,I or industrial uses of the water. Water quality
,ards should not force clean-up to exceed natural water
,ons. In other words, no single industry or person
.;.. be forced out of business by paying to clean up return
water to a stream far cleaner than it was to begin with!
Alaska's industries, from shore -based fish processing to
mining, ought not be strapped with a unreal disadvantage,
nor should any community be forced to manage a sewage
lagoon or treatment plant under standards which are
unachievable, sometimes at any cost.
Regarding risk levels, it should be noted that the national
average of the real risk of getting cancer from all sources —
from smoking to dietary habits — is one in four! Like other
states, including Arkansas where our President hails from,
Alaska has chosen a risk level of 1 in 100,000. That is a
realistic and supportable risk level. A person would have to
be drinking for years from the mixing zone under question to
even encounter that 1 in 100,000 risk — and who does that?
No one.
It takes a strong economy to afford the financial re-
sources devoted to state programs which address vital is-
sues such as water quality and other health needs. If water
quality standards are set to satisfy hysterical perceptions
rather than driven by reality, Alaska will lose ground in its
ability to provide for its citizens and maintain an economy
which can afford environmental protection. Economics must
play a part in our decision -making, since there is not enough
money in the world to protect individuals completely, even if
it was feasible.
Remember, risk assessment is a political decision and
your voice is needed to balance the equation.
RDC urges all Alaskans to send their comments to
support the Department of Environmental Conservation's
efforts to tailor water standards to Alaska. The deadline
is the end of October.
RDC board reaches out to Kenai, Seward
In an effort to discuss issues of significant importance to
the Kenai Peninsula and to further define common ground,
the RDC board of directors met with community leaders in
Kenai and Seward last month and toured major industrial
sites in both communities.
At least twice a year, RDC schedules community out -
each trips for its board and staff to meet with its membership,
listen to local concerns, see the resource strengths of the
communities it serves and to brief others on what RDC is
doing in education and on issues of mutual interest.
"The meetings strengthen our understanding of local
communities and resource sectors, while helping develop a
common agenda for our state's future," said Jim Cloud,
President of RDC. "It's always a pleasure to meet with
Alaskans in their home towns."
The September 23-24 community outreach trip to Kenai,
Soldotna, Cooper Landing and Seward featured live radio
and newspaper interviews and luncheon meetings with local
officials.

Thoughts from
the President
by
James L. Cloud
Will Atlas Shrug?
"Who is John Galt?"
Those are the first three words of Ayn Rand's timeless
novel, ATLAS SHRUGGED, written 36 years ago. While the
source of frustrations to the creation of wealth through
industry and business may have changed, the frustrations
nevertheless have increased exponentially. Has this country
learned anything?
Recent reports claim "baby boomers" are much better off
than their parents. Yet other reports claim that the difference
between the wealthy and the poor has widened to record
levels. Frankly, I'm not surprised at either. The second
hypothesis, however, is more the result of a higher reliance
on imported raw materials and "near finished" goods or parts.
Where our factories used to use raw materials mined or
harvested in America by Americans, we now rely increasingly
on imported parts assembled in America.
When our leaders decide to rely on imported natural
resources, they are making a decision to export jobs. Under-
standably, exporting countries would much rather sell us the
parts to an automobile, for example, rather than sell us the
raw materials to make the parts. So while an automobile is
assembled in the United States, the raw materials are mined,
refined, molded and made into automobile parts in other
countries. The wealth has been created elsewhere and
America has lost control of its raw materials, effectively
exporting jobs!
With each new Wilderness bill, land use restriction, and
move to close roads or improve access into remote areas, our
leaders in state and federal government reduce the wealth -
producing capacity of our taxpayers and the ability of the
country to generate new tax revenues. Yet while economists
warn of this disturbing trend, the burden of new restrictions
and costly regulations keeps coming from our nation's capi-
tal.
While RDC has been fighting for fair treatment of Alaska
in the wetlands arena:
• The Department of the Interior has been pushing for the
National Biological Survey without regard to private property
rights and citizens' rights to privacy.
• The DOI's Minerals Management Service has just
issued proposed regulations calling for oil spill liability re-
quirements of $150 million for anyone (without limitation) that
transports or stores oil or oil products across or adjacent to
water, including lakes, streams and wetlands.
• New Wilderness proposals are being advanced behind
closed doors in government agencies that are not tradition-
ally involved in land management, like the State Department
and the National Security Council.
• Congressional delegations from other states are seek-
ing to say "Adios!" to our mining industry, a quote from
Senator Dale Bumpers, D-Arkansas.
• Despite the loss of 280 jobs from the closure of the Sitka
Pulp mill, the Administration is seeking further timber harvest
restrictions on the Tongass National Forest which could likely
lead to further job losses in Southeast Alaska.
With so much threatening our ability to conduct respon-
sible natural resource development in Alaska, it is a blessing
that our state government has been working to resolve issues
and help our residents get back to work.
The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation
is trying to bring some reason to the water and air quality
regulations, the state forester is working on a plan to harvest
some beetle -killed timber, the Department of Fish and Game
is tackling the fisheries problems of population and resource
allocation, and the Department of Natural Resources and the
Department of Law are trying to settle the Mental Health
Lands mess.
Thirty-six years ago, Ayn Rand's "ATLAS SHRUGGED"
showed how frustrated industrialists brought the world to a
standstill by quitting the struggle against unreasonable regu-
lation. The names have changed, the source of frustrations
have changed, but the effect has remained the same.
"Who is John Galt?" He (she) is each of us.
Get involved, we need your help. Call RDC and lend a
hand to comment on many resource issues we're chasing.
We're doing it for you.
RDC board visits Kenai Peninsula ... (Continued from page2)
While in Kenai, board members toured the Phillips LNG
plant, the Tesoro refinery and the Unocal Grayling platform in
Cook Inlet. A second team of board members received a
oriefing from ARCO officials aboard the Adriatic XIII explor-
atory rig drilling the Sunfish prospect in Cook inlet.
In Cooper Landing, board members held a business
meeting at the beautiful Princes Lodge. In Seward, the board
met with community officials, local business leaders and the
National Park Service. The board received a briefing on the
proposed Alaska Sealife Center, visited nearby Exit Glacier
and toured the Chugach Forest Products sawmill, the Seward
ship yard repair facility and the boat harbor.
Special thanks to local hosts Barry and Eleanor Thomson
and Sharon Anderson for assisting in coordinating the local
functions.
October 1.993 / RESOURCE REVIEW / Page 3
Final decision on PACFISH due next spring
Tongass loggers get
reprieve from Pacific
Northwest fisheries
protection plan
The Tongass National Forest will be
exempt from a Forest Service plan that
would have tripled the size of no -logging
buffer zones along fish streams, lakes
and wetlands.
The exemption came through a pro-
vision from Senator Ted Stevens in a
House -Senate conference committee
working on a compromise 1994 spending
bill for the Forest Service.
The Forest Service plan, called
PACFISH, would have extended no -tree -
cutting buffer zones around salmon
streams from 100 feet to 300 feet. It also
would have established new buf-fers
around lakes and wetlands.
PACFISH is a fisheries protection
plan developed for the Pacific Northwest
fisheries problem, which has been caused
in part by hydroelectric facilities. Stevens
and Alaska state government officials say
the plan's buffer proposals are not needed
in Southeast Alaska where fish runs are
strong and stringent forest practices mea-
sures are in place. The Tongass is the
only national forest in the nation with
buffers mandated by law.
Troy Reinhart, Executive Director of
the Alaska Forest Association, opposes
the application of PACFISH in Alaska,
insisting there is no problem that needs
fixing here.
"Imposing a solution on Alaska de-
signed for the Pacific Northwest is like
subjecting a healthy person to chemo-
therapy," Reinhart said.
The buffers envisioned by the Forest
Service would have cut the annual timber
harvest from the Tongass by as much as
60 percent, resulting in as many as 1,700
lost jobs and damaging the economies of
Southeast communities. Over two-thirds
of the commercial forest lands in the
Tongass already are closed to logging
through Wilderness withdrawals and other
restrictions arising from the Alaska Lands
Act of 1980 and the Tongass Timber
Reform Act of 1990.
Because of Stevens' provision, the
Tongass is the only forest on the West
Coast with a congressional exemption
from PACFISH. Environmentalists and
fishing groups are disappointed, arguing
that while Alaska fish appear to be healthy,
the PACFISH initiative would ensure that
remains true along fish steams in the
Tongass. They argue the 100-foot buff-
ers in the Tongass are not enough.
Reinhart notes that ongoing monitor-
ing and research indicate that the current
buffers are more than adequate.
The existing buffer strips required by
the Tongass Timber Reform Act grew out
of an effort to achieve a statewide con-
sensus to pass the Alaska Forest Prac-
tices Act. The state law mandated 100-
foot buffers on public lands and 66 foot
strips on private lands. The consensus
arose after nearly two years of meetings
between federal and state fisheries agen-
cies, Alaska fishing groups, the Alaska
Forest Association, environmental groups
and other interested parties.
The consensus determined that man-
datory buffer zones were needed to pro-
tect fish streams from erosion and tem-
perature problems while allowing for
large woody debris to fall naturally in the
streams. Scientific studies showed that
94 percent of the wood came from the first
66 feet and 98 percent from 100 feet.
Thus, almost all of the large woody debris
capable of moving into streams could be
recruited with 100 foot buffer strips.

Alaska's plan for logging beetle-kil
timber on the Kenai Peninsula will reE
in vast clear -cuts that will threaten fi:
wildlife and wilderness resourcc
Alaska's state forester, however, war
that by leaving the dying forest aloe
timber, wildlife, water and fishery
sources will be at greater risk from t
beetle infestation.
In a late September speech befc
the RDC breakfast forum in Anchorar
State Forester Tom Boutin said a lack
action and continued forest health c
cline will result in:
• Increased loss of wildlife habitat for
mature forest species.
• Continued riparian area degradatior
• Substantial long-term conversion of
est to grass from lack of spru
regeneration.
• Increased community fire hazy►,1 ar
associated increased fire s rep
sion costs.
• Degradation of aesthetic quality of f,
ested landscapes.
• Degradation of developed recreation
areas and increased maintenance
costs for removal of hazard and
downed trees.
In defending astate plan to log beet
killed timber, Boutin stressed that loggi
operations would not occur in a regu,
tory vacuum, but under strict forest prz
tices regulations to protect river dra-
ages and other sensitive areas. Moi

Moreover, environmental impact sta

they can be expanded beyond the 100 fc

"Without some sort of artificial inter-

Boutin noted that the Kenai infesta-

half of these declining stocks are located
in Wilderness areas where logging is not

lion presents an opportunity to prove
silvicultural techniques can restore habi-
tat. He said the state's plan would allow
some economic value to be salvaged
from the trees before they are no longer
usable.
'he Division of Forestry response to
the infestation has been to cooperate
with other land owners, develop public
awareness of the situation and work to-
ward putting infested and soon -to -be in-
fested timber up for sale," Boutin said.
Boutin noted that the lack of a forest
products industry on the Kenai, along
with the sole emphasis on recreational
values in forestry decisions, may have
allowed the Kenai problem to be dis-
ber development?"
As for most of the other stocks the
Forest Service cited, the State pointed
out that they were in areas logged years
ago under less stringent environmental
protection measures.
The Forest Service is now studying
whether Alaska needs PACFISH and will
report back to the Senate Appropriations
Committee with a recommendation by
April 1.
Forest Service Regional Director
cussed for yearswithout any action taken.
"1 think I see the industry we now
have as a potential source of subsidy for
the solution," Boutin said. "Any payment
for remaining value in some ofthe timber,
and especially any site preparation and
access construction which can be ab-
sorbed by logging contracts, is a subsidy
to resolving this forest eco-system prob-
lem."
Mayor Don Gillman of the Kenai Penin-
sula Borough says many residents want
beetle -killed timber harvested, but do not
support backcountry roads necessary to get
do the timber. He said residents want a guar-
antee to whatever is done prods the
drainages and the river systems.

whether PACFISH should apply to the

Jeopardy
Alaskans at risk should MMS
regulations move forward
(Continued from page 6)
"Utilizing expansive definitions of
navigable waters and overreaching in-
arpretations of fuel containers, the Min-
erals Management Service has pro-
posed a system which would require
kids with lawn mowing jobs to secure
$150 million liability policies from an
unwilling insurance industry," said Tom
Hawkins of the Bristol Bay Native Cor-
poration.
Hawkins said it appears that the
proposal was crafted as a new mission
for an agency that has lost its will to
accomplish the orderly leasing of min-
erals in the OCS.
"The impact of the rules if promul-
gated as proposed will merely create a
nation of scofflaws," Hawkins said.
"School districts, electrical cooperatives
and other bulk fuel tank owners will
have to run the risk that there will never
be enforcement," Hawkins added. "It
seems like an extremely inept way to
address a problem which had a clear
mandate from the public."
In a news release issued earlier
this month, MMS confirmed that state,
federal, and municipal facilities, includ-
ing schools, airports, boat harbors and
utilities, as well as privately -owned fuel
storage facilities or caches, could be
subject to the financial responsibility
requirements resulting from the rule -
making effort. The agency claims the
$150 million liability requirement is a
statutory demand and that it is outside
the scope of the regulations to provide
relief from the higher liability level.
"The $150 million liability require-
ment, combined with the ludicrous defi-
nition of navigable waters, sets up a
situation that is going to be impossible
for most businesses in Alaska to com-
ply with," warned Frank Dillon, Execu-
tive Director of the Alaska Trucking
Association. "The regulations are so
outrageous they don't warrant any real
serious consideration."
There are no trucking companies
operating in Alaska that will be able to
acquire the mandated coverage, Dillon
said. "Literally hundreds of people and
businesses in Alaska would be in jeop-
ardy should the regulation move for-
ward," Dillon warned.
The Alaska Rural Electric Coop-
erative Association (ARECA), a non-
profit corporation whose members con-
sist of the numerous electrical coopera-
tives located throughout Alaska, has
also voiced strong opposition to OPA's
financial responsibility requirements.
"As a practical matter, rural electric
cooperatives cannot afford $150 mil-
lion worth of insurance even if it were
available," said David Hutchens, Ex-
ecutive Director of ARECA. "I can only
hope that the Minerals Management
Service uses some common sense in
promulgating these regulations,"
Hutchens said. "Requiring $150 million
in insurance for these facilities is ridicu-
lous. I firmly believe that when OPA '90
was enacted, Congress was thinking of
oil platforms when drafting the financial
responsibility requirements."
Under OPA, Alaska's rural tank
farms are in the "unique position of
being both offshore facilities and on-
shore facilities," Hutchens noted.
Electric cooperatives in rural Alaska
for the most part rely upon diesel gen-
eration for power production. In turn,
bulk fuel storage facilities are located in
the villages to prov,rje a ready supply of
fuel for the diesel generators. These
facilities in numerous instances are lo-
cated on or near wetlands, and, in any
event, most are supplied by a pipeline
terminating on a lake, river or bay. Die-
sel fuel is delivered to these facilities by
barge.
OPA '90 already has significantly
impacted these small electric coopera-
tives. Regulations promulgated by the
Environmental Protection Agency and
the U.S. Coast Guard require the cod ^-
eratives to prepare a response plat 11
deal with a worst -case scenario fuel
spill. EPA regulations require such a
plan if the fuel storage capacity is 42,000
gallons or greater and such facility is
filled with fuel by a transfer over water.
The Coast Guard regulations require a
response plan if the storage capacity is
10,500 gallons. In addition, depending
upon the volume of the facility, an Oil
Discharge Prevention and Contingency
Plan is required by the State Depart-
ment of Environmental Conservation.
The most onerous of all require-
ment, however, will be MMS's financial
responsibility regulations, Hutchens
claims. He hopes MMS will bring rea-
son to the process.
MMS initiated the process of devel-
oping the new regulations when it pub-
lished an "Advance Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking" in the Federal Register on
August 25. The agency has since met
with Alaska industry, native and com-
munity leaders to solicit informationth.i.
will help regulators prepare "workaL
regulations."
"The law contains provisions aimed
at strengthening oil spill prevention,
response capability and cleanup ef-
forts, as well as ensuring payment of
damages resulting from oil spills should
they occur," said MMS director Tom
Fry. "Since MMS has the responsibility
to implement and enforce this law, I
want to make sure that those most
affected have an opportunity to help us
write rules that are as fair and equitable
as possible under this statute."
RDC has requested that the MMS
hold public meetings in Barrow, Nome,
Fairbanks, Anchorage and Ketchikan
on the proposed regulations. Comments
should be mailed to the Department of
the Interior, Minerals Management Ser-
vice, Mail Stop 4700, 381 Elden Street,

Mifty years ago, Emil
Usibelli did something
everyone else thought was
crazy. Using a small bull-
dozer and a truck, he began
mining coal from the surface,
rather than from underground,
like everyone else did. Today,
that's how most of the coal
in the world is being mined.
Over the last three gene-
rations, Usibelli Coal Mine has
done a lot of things that other
people thought were foolish at
the time.
In 1971 we started a
land reclamation program

years before the government
required it.
In 1977 we ordered a 2,000
ton dragline to increase produc-
tion, even though a proposed
hydroelectric project and the
new oil pipeline were supposed
to make coal obsolete.
In 1984 we negotiated the
world's first contract to export
sub -bituminous coal to the
Pacific Rim.
In 1989 we initiated a
partnership with the Federal
Government to build in Healy,
Kii
Alaska, what may well be the
world's cleanest coal -burning
power plant.
A lot has changed since
Emil started the mine in 1943.
But one thing hasn't changed.
It's still going to take
innovative thinking to prosper
in the future.
We plan on continuing that
tradition.
