April 12, 1993 City of Kenai Attention: Kim Howard 210 Fidalgo Kenai, Alaska 99611 Subject: Additional Material to Support my Resume Dear Ms. Howard: v wi One of the areas that I did not expand on in my resume was my involvement with the Municipal Leagues in Michigan and Alaska, and governors' appointments. In Michigan I sat on the Health Insurance Subcommittee and Finance r� and Taxation Subcommittees. I also worked on the planning for the legislative conference and the annual conferences held in Lansing, Michigan, as well as Traverse City, Michigan. Since I have relocated to Alaska I have been appointed to serve on the AML Legislative Committee, working in the area of finance and taxation. I have been appointed by Governor Hickel to serve on the Contract Jail Committee, researching and working on a better way to operate our local "lock -ups." I have also been appointed to the Wetlands Working Committee. While I was working in Michigan, Governor Milliken and Governor Blanchard appointed me to work on two state committees --the first being Intergovernmental Relations Committee for Local Government, and the second being Finance and Taxation Committee for local governmental units. In the late 1970's, Secretary of State James Hare of Michigan appointed me as a special Deputy Secretary of State for Branch Operations. In closing, I would state that I also had the privilege of working with state and local units on the landfill closure provisions for some twenty -plus landfills in Michigan; and I spent an extensive part of my time working on the emergency effort to provide a safe and environmentally correct landfill for Chippewa County, serving the City of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. I also served as the Airport Manager for Stevenson Field at Sault Ste. Marie while being C Ms. Kim Howard - Page 2 April 12, 1993 the City Manager, and supervised the operation of the Dawogiac, Michigan, Airport while I was the City Manager in the City of Dawogiac.

Mr. Weitzel said unless he called by noon today, he was no longer interested in the City Manager position and he had accepted another job. He didn't call. I have rescheduled Henry Graper for 6:00 p.m. Monday night. Mr. Graper told me he received a very good evaluation last week and his council is pressing him to sign a contract. Attached is additional material I received from him on Wednesday to support his resume. I have not received his notarized copy, or original, Consent to Release of Information form. At their request, Tom Manninen and Douglas Zenor have been sent copies of the draft budget, financial statement, public opinion survey, C.I.P. list and other information. In addition, apparently there is a misunderstanding in something I said regarding Mr. Manninen's interest in the position. He is very interested in the position. What he said was that if he did not get the job, he is not unhappy where he is working now. /kh — Ae s TO: Mayor John Williams and City Council FROM: Keith Kornelis, Public Works Director O�E DATE: April 16, 1993 Attached is a short list of questions concerning public works issues.

WHAT EXPERIENCE DO YOU HAVE IN ADMINISTRATION OF MANNING, ZONING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMBNr IN A SMALL PROGRESSIVE CITY SUCH AS KENAI? :+' ' 6 1 The major goal of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) is to improve the nations water quality by reducing or eliminating pollutants from waste streams discharging directly into our waterways. The major instrument used to achieve this goal is the NPDES permit which sets limits on the pollutants in direct discharge effluents. The permit is a legally enforceable agreement between the EPA, state, and the direct dischargers on the quality of effluent discharged. The City currently has one permit for the Wastewater Treatment Plant for wastewater discharge and may soon have one for stormwater discharged form the Airport. Biochemical Oxygen Demand Total Suspended Solids Fecal Coliform Bacteria Chlorine Residual Bod/Tss Removal Monthly average 30mg/1 or 3251b/day Weekly average 45mg/1 or 4881b/day Daily maximum 60mg/1 or 6501b/day Monthly average 30mg/1 or 325lb/day Weekly average 45mg/1 or 4881b/day Daily maximum 60mg/1 or 6501b/day Monthly average 14 per 100m1 Daily Below detectable level Minimum of 85 % mg/1 = Milligrams per liter NPDES also lays out the minimum number of tests to be run for each contaminate each month. HNEVVV The enactment of the federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) in 1974 signaled the beginning of a new era for owners, managers, and operators of public water systems. Congress authorized the federal government to establish national drinking water regulations. These regulations set maximum permissible levels for certain contaminants in drinking water and established monitoring requirements. Although there is a high level of compliance with the water quality standards, there is still a great deal of public concern about unregulated organic contaminants. This concern, together with the frequent contamination of groundwater from industrial solvents and pesticides, spawned an interest in substantially revising the original act. The SDWA Amendments of 1986 were the result. Many new regulations have been developed based on these amendments. The Surface Water Treatment Rule (SWTR) covers all public water systems using surface water and groundwater under the direct influence of surface water. It stipulates two things. First, all surface waters, which includes groundwater under the direct influence of surface water, must be disinfected; second, all surface waters must be filtered unless certain stringent water quality source requirements, disinfection, and site -specific conditions are met. Coliforms are one of a group of microbiological contaminants regulated as part of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) Amendments of 1986 written by the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). Total coliforms, which include the fecal coliforms, are usually not pathogenic. However, their presence in drinking water indicates the potential presence of pathogens associated with waterborne disease outbreaks. In particular, the presence of fecal coliforms in drinking water indicates that an urgent public health problem may exist. Volatile (synthetic) organic chemicals (VOCs) are chemicals that evaporate or vaporize easily. Millions of pounds of VOCs are manufactured each year and used as solvents, degreasing compounds, and raw materials for production of other compounds. Many, such as paint thinners or cleaning fluids, are used around the home. The VOC rule was published by USEPA on July 8, 1987, and became effective on January 9, 1989. It includes maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) and monitoring requirements for eight VOCs in drinking water. It also establishes monitoring requirements for 51 other unregulated contaminants. The revised public notification requirements, which took effect in April 1989, require water systems to notify the persons they serve when * violation of a National Primary Drinking Water requirements occur, * variances or exemptions are in effect, or * they do not comply with any schedule associated Regulation or its monitoring with a variance or exemption. On June 7, 1991, the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) published for final national primary drinking water regulations for lead and copper in the Federal Register. The new rule replaces the existing interim maximum contaminant level (MCL) for lead with a treatment technique requirement. The total regulatory package establishes maximum contaminant level goals (MCLGs) for lead and copper. It also sets forth treatment technique requirements for lead that include: optimal corrosion -control treatment; source water treatment; public education, and lead service line replacement. The Phase II Rule includes 38 inorganic and synthetic organic contaminants (inorganic chemicals (IOCs) and synthetic organic chemcals (SOCs) as part of 83 contaminancts required to be regulated by the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) Amendments of 1986. The US Army Corps of Engineers has been regulating activities in the nation's water since 1890. Until the 1960's the primary purpose of the regulatory program was to protect navigation. Since then, as a result of laws and court decisions, the program has been broadened so that it now considers the full public interest for both the protection and utilization of water resources. The regulatory authorities and responsibilities of the Corps of Engineers are based on the following laws: A. Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403) prohibits the obstruction or alteration of navigable waters of the United States without a permit from the Corps of Engineers. B. Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 13"). Section 301 of this Act prohibits the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States without a permit from the Corps of Engineers. Section 404 of the Clean Water Act requires that anyone interested in depositing dredged or fill material into "waters of the United States, including wrtkm&," must receive authorization for such activities. The Corps has been assigned responsibility for administering the Section 404 permitting process. Activities in wetlands for which permits may be required include, but are not limited to: placement of fill material; ditching activities when the excavated material is sidecast, and levee and dike construction. The Intermodal Surface Transportation Act (ISTEA) of 1991 makes emphasis on the movement of people and goods, and there is a strong environmental theme throughout the legislation. The National Highway System (NHS) is the major focus for the federal -aid highway program. The criteria for route selection reflects the growing awareness that the value of all modes of transportation - highway, transit, railroad, plan, ship - is enhanced if it is part of a smoothly operating intermodal network. In establishing the system, priority must be given to motor vehicle access to major ports, airports, public transportation facilities, and other intermodal transportation facilities. The Surface Transportation Program (STP) is the next major program. STP funds focus resources on roads that are the most important to inter- and intra-regional travel and/or connect with other modes of transportation, as well as roads essential for international commerce. This category gives the state and local officials the most flexibility - and the most responsibility - in shaping their new programs. Within the Surface Transportation Program are requirements for specific sub -program setasides, including: A. 10 Percent Setaside for Safety Construction Activities. B. 10 Percent Setaside for Transportation Enhancement Activities. There are ten categories of projects eligible under the Enhancement category: 1. Facilities for pedestrians and bicycles. 2. Acquisition of scenic easements and scenic or historic sites. 3. Scenic or historic highway programs. 4. Landscaping and other scenic beautification. 5. Historic preservation. 6. Rehabilitation and operation of historic transportation buildings, structures, and facilities (including historic railroad facilities and canals). 7. Preservation of abandoned railway corridors (including the conversion and use thereof for pedestrian or bicycle trails). 8. Control and removal of outdoor advertising. 9. Archaeological planning and research. 10. Mitigation of water pollution due to highway runoff. 5. OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Act) A. Bloodborne Pathogens B. Personnel Right to Know (MSDS) C. Hearing Protection D. Safety 6. SARA Title 3 Called the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act of 1986. State Emergency Response Commission appointed by the Governor. Requirements include reporting of toxic material over a set amount in any facility. At the wastewater treatment plant we currently report for chlorine gas and sulfur gas used for effluent treatment. 7. Other Federal Rules, Regulations and Acts 8. Planning and Zoning: The City of Kenai has zoning powers. The Planning and Zoning Commission acts in an advisory capacity to the City Council regarding the zoning code, zoning boundaries, airport land system, leases and sales, capital improvements, etc. They also serve as the Landscaping/Site Plan Review Board. They are advisory to the Kenai Peninsula Borough Planning Commission regarding subdivision platting, right-of-way and easement vacations, and City Comprehensive Plan amendments. 9. Buildings: The City has adopted and enforces the "ICBO family" of building codes. IPTSRVIBW QUSSTIOAS 1. How many years of direct city manager experience do you have? 2.
