Chapter 16 entitled "Public Improvements and Special Assessments" sets forth the general provisions, procedure, assessment authority and method of assessment for public improvements. Chapter 16.10 sets forth the procedure and City Manager action required. This memo satisfies Section 16.10.010. As required by KMC 16.10.010, within sixty days after passage of Resolution 93-81, the City Manager shall make a survey of and report on the proposed improvement to the City Council. This report addresses the need for, the desirable scope of and the estimated cost of the proposed Thompson Park water and sewer improvement, perspective grants that have been secured to assist in the payment for the improvements, and the recommended percentage of the improvement plan cost to be assessed against the property benefitted. The report also contains a description defining the local improvement district, the properties to be assessed and shows the desirable scope of the proposed Thompson Park improvement. THOMPSON PARK IMPROVEMENTS - NEED: How was the Thompson Park improvement started? Who pays? Survey results? Willingness to pay? In an October 26, 1990 City of Kenai survey to residents of the Thompson Park area, the City requested the Thompson Park residents to answer yes or no as to whether they wanted City water and sewer to their property and of their willingness to pay. The assumptions used in the October 26, 1990 survey were as follows: ~.. & $:1., 800 &SSESSI~ENT, 2. PAYABLE OVER A TEN YEAR PERIOD, 3. & $300 ANNU~ COST. The January 17, 1991 survey results indicated, of surveys returned, Y~ responses covering 108 lots came from 55 surveys; ~O responses covering 43 lots, came from 22 surveys. Subsequently, in Resolution No. 91-62 regarding the Thompson Park priority, the City of Kenai made Thompson Park a No. 1 1992 health hazard priority for legislative grants. In an October 10, 1991 memorandum, the City administrative staff revised the average assessment figure to $3,399 per lot ($537,000 for 158 lots.) The reason given: cost estimates increased two times since the October 1990 estimate. This was based on the total direct subdivision costs of 2.7 million dollars, amounting to $17,000 per lot for 158 lots. The total Thompson Park project cost (including the indirect cost of the Thompson Park interceptor) made the total $4,500,000. ~.. NEED FOR II. fPROVF~ENT8 Some residents have been reporting problems with water quality from their wells for years. Others have reported frequent failures of on-site septic systems. Many of the lots are simply too small to adequately support septic systems. Clearly, the need has been initiated from the Thompson Park residents, and the City Council followed up with substantial grant funding. Also, the project has increased dramatically in costs since the origination from the surveys of over three years ago to the point where the average assessment for the improvements will exceed $4,000 per lot. This does not include the property owners' costs of eliminating their existing wells and septic systems and hooking up to the City's water and sewer main services when built. (This is estimated to cost approximately $2,000 - 3,000 per lot to install service lines. This does not include the cost of abandoning on-site systems.) Additionally, the owners of the on-site water and sewer systems will have to abandon their systems. This is a requirement according to Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation. This work must be done in the summer of 1994, after the City installs the Thompson Park water and sewer mains. The property owners will be notified of this requirement along with the notice of the public hearing. SCOPE OF IMPROVEMENTS - The Thompson Park water and sewer project scope is depicted on the attached map and draft assessment roll. Basically, it includes most of Thompson Park Subdivision, plus Additions I and II, Sunset Rim Part I, and parts of Mack, Beaver Creek, and Valhalla Heights Part 2. IT DOE~ NOT INCLUDE THE LOTS IN THOMPSON PARK SUBDIVISION ]%LON~ THE SPUR HIgHWaY, NOR THOMPSON PLACE. The City Department of Public Works has estimated the cost of adding Thompson Park Subdivision along Spur Highway and Thompson Place to be an additional $442,000. The additional $442,000 is not available either through grants, special assessments, or water/sewer fund balance to do these improvements in addition to the proposed Thompson Park water/sewer improvements. 3. ESTIMATED. THOMPSON PARK PROJECT COSTS AND GRANTS The estimated cost of extending water and sewer lines within Thompson Park is $2,700,000. Approximately $2,100,000 is from the State of Alaska; $600,000 is "borrowed" from the City's water and sewer fund. The City's $600,000 share is the special assessment portion that will be paid back to the City's water and sewer fund over a ten (10) year time period, or whatever time period the Council chooses to spread the assessment roll. The Thompson Park Interceptor Project is not being assessed. The Thompson Park Interceptor Project, costing about $1,300,000, will be financed totally with State grants. 4. THOMPSON PARK PERCENT/~E OF COSTS TO BE ASSESSED The City of Kenai intends to assess 9_$% OF ALL THOMPSON PARK WATER AND SEWER COST~ RELATED TO THE W~tTER AND SEWER LINE PROJECT IN THOMPSON PARK INCLUDING ROAD RECONSTRUCTION IN THOMPSON PARK SUBDIVISION. Kenai Municipal Code has two limits on assessments: A. The assessment cannot exceed the value of the benefit to the property from the improvements. B. The assessment cannot exceed 25% of the fair market value (FMV) OF THE PROPERTY AFTERCONSIDERIN~ THE IMPROVEMENTS. Although value of the benefit might be the increase in market value, it may also include the intrinsic indirect values such as a cleaner, safer water or better sanitary facilities, or better fire protection/water pressure supply. Furthermore, new water and sewer mains should improve lot salability, and in the long-term assessing only 25% of the cost of the project, the assessments should not exceed the value. With regard to B above, the attached 25% OF FMV LIMIT ON THE DRAFT ~%~BSSMBNT ROLL IS ]%TT&CHED. Therefore, in short, THE 25% TEST is that instead of assessing nearly $675,000 (25% of the cost), the City of Kenai can only ASSESS APPROXIMATELY $603,000. See the attached map of the sewer interceptor area and the Thompson Park area that is shaded that will be serviced by the Thompson Park water and sewer extension and note the area not yet to be serviced adjacent to and continuous with the Thompson Park area. Also see the attached draft preliminary assessment roll for the Thompson Park water and sewer. TN_O~1~BON PARK LID/SAD ~SSESSMENT SUMMARY: In summary, the approximate square foot of benefitted property assessable is 2,427,810 square feet, with a total project cost estimated in Thompson Park Subdivisien at $2,699,999, total calculated 25% assessment as $675,022, the total estimated special assessment is $602,987.

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

FROM- DATE- SUBJECT- Charles Brown, Finance Director Emily DeForest, Library Director 8 December 1993 Personal Computer for WLN use The IBM XT personal computer used by the librarian and staff for word processinq and for WLN catalog searching was purchased in 1986. We have been given an estimate of $3,389 to upgrade this computer for the necessary capabilities for the new WLN programs which will be issued about 1 January. There are several 486 Personal Computers that will operate these programs for $3,000 or less. WLN will sell us a computer, program ready, for $2,895, or a local dealer has given nhe library a price of $2,705 for the same computer with the same programs on it. Since the library depends on the WLN catalog for cataloging and for down-loading onto Dynix we recommend purchasing a new IBM 486DX2 66 from a local dealer.

Approved by Consent Agenda. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 1, 1993 PAGE 8 ITEM F: CORRESPONDENCE Cit~ Manager Memo - To Council regarding Thompson Park Water and Sewer Special Assessments. Approved by Consent Agenda. ITEM G: OLD BUSINESS Discussion - Paying Volunteers. Measles requested Finance Director Brown to bring Council up-to- date with the matter. Brown stated he wrote a note to City Manager Manninen describingthe right way and the wrong way to handle the matter and Manninen wrote a memorandum to Council. Brown stated the statement in Manninen's memorandum seems to agree with Brown's. Measles asked Acting City Manager Howard if she had any comments. Howard asked if it would be acceptable to buy everyone dinner who served. Monfor stated no, it would not be acceptable. Monfor stated first, the people were asked if they would be willing to do it. Secondly, a member of the staff could have been designated to be there for more cost. Monfor stated thirdly, that if Brown wants to follow this, which is fine, but then more than $25 will have to be paid because they would not be paid minimum wage. Fourthly, Monfor stated there are ways this can be done because the School District does it all the time with referees and volunteers that sit at gates and take money. Monfor stated she was very upset that $75 has taken so much time, administrative time and caused so much commotion. Monfor stated she never thought that this would happen. Monfor added volunteers save the City thousands of dollars each year and thinks it ridiculous this is being quibbled over. Bookey stated he echoed Councilwoman Monfor. Bookey believed the seniors did a great job for the City. Bookey stated he did not believe $75 needs to be as big a hassle as this has become. Bookey stated he believed this should be able to be taken care of and get it over with. Bookey stated he does not expect anything illegal to be done, but for $75, it can be done and should be done. Smalley stated he was not at AML. Smalley stated he echoed the comments and understands how the School District pays the KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 1, 1993 PAGE 9 referees, etc. Smalley stated they are paid from the gate receipts. Smalley added he believed where Brown is coming from in the memo is that there has to be a mechanism by which this can be done in order to be legal and to be within the ordinances and codes. Smalley suggested the question needing to be asked of Brown is from where the money can be taken. Smalley added he supports the payment of the money. Councilwoman Swarner stated once someone is paid, they are no longer volunteers. Swarner added because of that the people should not be called volunteers. Swarner added volunteers are not paid people, but may be compensated somehow. Swarner stated she thought it is more than $75 because there were more than three people sitting at the booth. Howard stated there were seven purchase orders. Clerk Freas stated only one person worked a full day. All others worked half-days. Freas added the motion read $25 a day per person. Monfor directed her next question to the Senior Citizens Director and Brown. Monfor asked if it would be possible for the City to give the Senior Center $75 of which a credit could be given or something could be done for those people who worked. Senior Center Director Porter stated a credit for lunches would not be possible as the lunch payments are totally on a voluntary donation basis. Porter added if the money were given to the Center, she would still have to turn around and reimburse them. Porter stated the way it happened was she received a telephone call that asked whether or not they could find some people to work in the booth and that they would most likely be compensated. So, when she asked people to do that, she put it to them that way, i.e. could you spend x-number of hours working at the booth at Municipal League and you might get paid for it. Porter added they may have been very willing to volunteer, but that was not how she presented the question. Bookey stated then their motion was wrong from the beginning as he felt each person should be paid $25 for the time spent there. Not just the people that were there one day. Porter stated that was her impression as well, i.e. that it would be a total of $25 per person. Freas stated there were seven persons. Swarner suggested the City purchase seven gift certificates for $25. Smalley asked from what fund the money would come. Swarner stated Legislative fund. Swarner asked Attorney Graves if that KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 1, 1993 PAGE 10 would be legal. Measles suggested a motion from someone to designate an amount and direct the administration to take care of it and find a legal way to do it. MOTION: Councilman Bookey so moved. Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. Councilman Bookey suggested $175. Measles asked if that was agreeable with the second. Smalley stated yes. Bannock asked if this would be done in the future. Also, "volunteer" needs to be defined as to what volunteer is going to be and if a volunteer is going to be compensated like this again in the future. Monfor stated they were not volunteers. Bannock stated he understood that, but the word was used in the paperwork that he has seen and it needs to be examined as to whether they should be called volunteers or call them "gift certificate compensated part-time people" or something like that. Bannock added he hoped this does not become a future problem. · .. Monfor stated she did not disagree with Councilman Bannock° However, the city has a volunteer evening. These people truly were not volunteers in her eyes. Monfor added she was aware this matter was not handled in the best possible manner and apologized to the Council for that. Monfor stated she felt that volunteers cannot always be requested and if we do not want to pay them, maybe it is time that the staff be asked to do these things. If so, the cost will be a lot more and it is not a good use of their time. Monfor added there are people in the area willing to do these things and are good spokespeople~for the City and are proud to do it, but they cannot always be asked to do things for free. VOTE There were no objections to the motion. SO ORDERED. Discussion - Christmas Decorations. Measles asked if all of Council read the City Manager's memorandum included in the packet regarding Christmas decorations. Monfor stated she thought she mentioned this during the last meeting when the subject came up. }fi'ten the City of Kenai made the motion to expend money to put up Christmas decorations, they made a commitment that it was something they were going to do. The decorations were well-received and she never has heard a complaint about them. Monfor added she feels KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 1, 1993 PAGE 11 very strongly they need to, if nothing else, maintain those decorations on Spur and Airport Way, maintaining them and replacing them when needed. Monfor stated she will keep that in mind during the budget processes while she remains on Council. Monfor requested the Parks & Recreation and Public Works Departments to inform the Council in plenty of time when replacements, etc. are needed so they do not have to worry when November comes that there are not enough lights, etc. Monfor stated she did not have a problem with the Bicentennial or Chamber (for which she could not speak) perhaps asking their membership to purchase additional decorations to go on the side streets. However, the City has made a commitment and it is one thing all the citizens can see where their tax dollars are used. Bannock stated he has some discussions with citizens and the city manager in regard sponsoring a decoration contest. Help would be needed from the city, but it could eliminate $4,000 from the budget. There could be a set of plans for people'to use with the size required and any particular bracket requirements. A contestant could be a business, an individual, a club, etc. The decorations would become property of the City. The makers of decorations could be noted somewhere on the decoration. A contest would need advance planning so they would be up and installed by the "Christmas Comes to Kenai" celebration. Bookey stated his concern in regard to any electrical parts on the decorations being UL approved. Attorney Graves agreed electrical decorations would be a problem. Decorations without electrical parts would not be. Swarner stated she noted new banners in Anchorage have the name of the company or organization who purchased the banner on the bottom of the banner. Swarner suggested there could be a sponsorship instead of a contest. Bookey restated his concern regarding UL approval. Bookey added he did not think the City was spending much over the years for the decorations. Brown stated the last decorations were purchased about three years ago. Bookey stated the amount paid for decorations over three years is about $1,300. Bookey added the public enjoys what they see° KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 1, 1993 PAGE 12 Measles stated planning a contest or selling sponsorships would tie up administrative staff time which would be more costly than just purchasing the decorations. Swarner suggested that could be something the Chamber could do. Measles stated he did not think the Chamber would do it. Measles added the City is responsible for the streets. If the Council does not want the decorations, then they should not have them put up. If they want them there, money is needed to keep them there. MOTION.' Councilwoman Monfor MOVED that the Council give direction to the Administration that we will continue with the Christmas decoration program and the banner program on the Spur Highway, Airport Way and Willow. Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. Councilman Smalley requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. Councilman Bannock objected. VOTE: Monfor · Yes Smalley: Yes Swarner: Yes Measles · Yes Williams: Absent Bannock: No Bookey: Yes MOTION P]%SSED. ITEH H: NEW BUSINESS Bills to be Paid, Bills to be Ratified HOT I ON: Councilman Smalley MOVED to pay the bills and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. Purchase Orders Exceeding $~,000 I(OTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED to approve the purchase orders over $1,000, deleting the purchase order to Peninsula Extinguisher and adding the purchase order for Christmas decoration transformers to AirTek. Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 1, 1993 PAGE 13 Swarner asked if these were the same poles worked on last year. McGillivray stated no, these are additional poles. McGillivray explained the transformers are being changed over a period of time. The transformers in the poles are too small for the decorations. McGillivray stated transformers were replaced last year on the poles along Airport Way. The poles to be worked on are on Spur and Willow. VOTE There were no objections to the motion. SO ORDERED.

H-6, Discussion - Draft Tri-Borough Position Paper - Proposed Federal Oil & Gas Lease Sale #149. Borough Assembly President Betty Glick spoke in regard to the Tri-Borough Position Paper. Glick referred to her letter and a copy of the draft paper included in the packet. The three boroughs include Kenai Peninsula Borough, Lake & Peninsula and Kodiak Island Borough. The position paper includes as a portion of its introduction, The Tri-Borough position is that five critical issues must be addressed in the lease sale's environmental impact statement, and specifically addressed in the terms and conditions in any proposed notice of sale. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 1, 1993 PAGE 14 If the five isSues are not addressed in the lease sale review process, the Tri-Boroughs have grave reservations about supporting the lease sale. The paper goes on to state the five issues and gives a short description of those issues, i.e. 1) no off-shore loading of tankers; 2) specific plans to minimize and avoid commercial fishing gear conflicts with the exploration and development of oil; 3) the oil exploration company must have adequate spill prevention and response capability; 4) identification of critical habitat areas; and, 5) provision for local government revenue sharing. Glick stated the paper is being reviewed by other municipalities within the three boroughs. Glick assured Council that each time any changes are made to the paper by the boroughs or municipalities, the amended Paper would be forwarded to Council for further review. Glick added the Assembly desires to keep the municipalities informed and to have the tri-borough opinion included in the Environmental Impact Statement. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED to direct Administration to send a letter of non-objection to the Borough Assembly with regard the draft tri-borough position paper presented this evening with the intent that the Kenai City Council reserves the right as a city to add comment at a later date. Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. Measles asked if there were any objections. Swarner Objected, stating she did not feel the Council should do anything with the paper. VOTE .' Monfor. · No Smalley: Yes Swarner: No Measles. · Yes Williams: Absent Bannock: Yes Bookey: Yes MOTION PASSED. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 1, 1993 PAGE 15 Discussion - Joint City/State Project: Boardwalk, ISTEA Enhancement Funds. Measles requested Kornelis' input. Kornelis referred to his memorandum distributed at the beginning of the meeting and City Manager Manninen's memorandum included in the packet. Manninen's memorandum stated he and Mayor Williams met with Neil Johannsen while in Anchorage. Johannsen indicated a willingness to work with the city on a joint boardwalk project, sponsored by Kenai and to be funded eventually with ISTEA enhancement monies. Manninen requested Council for direction whether they wish the City to proceed with an joint application for a boardwalk project. Kornelis stated he was a member of the Kenai Peninsula Borough Technical Committee which gave recommendations as to what projects needed to be done in the area, etc. The Mission Street paving and Forest Drive reconstruction were two projects suggested for this area. The ISTEA program was taken over by the new Commissioner and now called Statewide Transportation Improvement Program. A listing of all projects and their priorities was published by the Commissioner. A portion of that listing, showing the Mission Street and Forest Drive projects and their priority standing was attached to Kornelis' memorandum. Kornelis stated his concerns in the boardwalk project, including the guarantee of grants and maintenance of the facility. Kornelis stated he would discuss that with Johannsen upon receiving the grant information. Swarner stated she always believed the ISTEA funds would be used for the Mission Street paving and was surprised to receive the memorandum discussing a boardwalk. Kornelis stated the boardwalk project is on the Commissioner's list. Swarner stated she understood that, but thought the first ISTEA funds would go to the Mission Street project. Swarner stated she also understood there was not that much funding available and there would not be any funding left. Swarner asked if the Mission Street project had been approved. Kornelis stated no. Swarner stated she was skeptical of Johannsen and the last boardwalk project. Kornelis added the Commissioner (and staff) threw out the priority list recommended by the Borough and made up their own KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 1, 1993 PAGE 16 determination of priorities. Bookey asked what the cost of the boardwalk project would be. Kornelis stated he had no idea of the cost. Measles asked if Council should take action now, or wait until information is sent in regard to the project and possible grant funding. Acting City Manager Howard stated Manninen requested direction from council in his memo, however action maybe could be held until the next meeting. Kornelis stated he has not received any grant application. Measles stated he understood Manninen's memorandum to say he has directed Kornelis to begin the application process and report to council when it is ready. If Council says to proceed with the application, it will still need Council's review before it is sent. MOTION: Councilwoman Monfor MOVED that we remain on track with the current 9rojects that we had already designated, Mission Street and' Forest Drive, for use of the ISTEA projects. Councilman Smalley S~.~OI~ED the motion. Councilwoman Monfor requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. BREAK: 8: 10 P.M. BACK TO ORDER: 8~16 P.M.

Stated he received two calls from senior citizens living at Congregate Housing who have problems with their windows. Kornelis stated he has contacted Doors & Windows (who was not the contractor) and has asked them to do the repair work. The contractor, Gaston, has refused to do the work. Doors & Windows will work with Bob Springer and cost of the work will be withheld from Gaston. b. Bookey stated his concern regarding the heating problems experienced at the Bicentennial Building. Bookey stated there have been heating problems from the beginning. Bookey added he believed the problem is for the contractor to repair. Kornelis stated the previous problem was from the compressor and has been solved. This is a different problem. Bookey stated he believed it is the same problem. Bookey added the heating has never been right. Bookey stated he hates to see the City pay for the repair. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 1, 1993 PAGE 18 Kornelis stated the city's maintenance person, Bob Springer, believes the problem to be a maintenance problem. Bookey stated he spent two hours with Springer on Friday. Bookey stated he believed by the end of their conversation, Springer thought it a contractor problem as well. Kornelis stated he and Springer have discussed the problems. They believe the first problem was with the air drier and compressor. The problem now is a balancing problem which will not be very expensive to repair. Kornelis stated he would have Springer contact Bookey tomorrow to discuss the problem. Bookey stated he spoke with the architect, Kluge, last week about the problem. Bookey stated he does not want the problem to turn out to be a $30,000-$40,000 cost to the city next year when the system may need to be replaced. c. Bookey asked if the State is maintaining the new court house or are major malfunctions referred back to the city. Kornelis stated the State is contracting out the maintenance of the-.building.

However, that does not mean the rental agencies have a right to the parking spaces in front of the terminal. Manninen added they want the leases to be successful. Manninen stated the rental agencies' leases do not reflect VanZee's statement as to the right to parking spaces in front of the terminal, nor is there any contractual right to them. Manninen stated administration's policy is they are here to help. Williams asked Council if they had any comments. There were none. Williams stated Council should be directed to handle the matter administratively, listening to both sides and handled that way. There were no objections from Council. ITEM C: C-1. MOTION: PUBLIC HEARINGS Ordinance No. 1567-93 - Repealing Ordinance No. 1133-86 and Replacing it With Ordinance No. 1567-94, Changing the Structure of the Townsite Historic District and Creating a Historic District Board. Councilman Smalley MOVED for the adoption of Ordinance No. 1567- 93 and Councilwoman'Monfor SECONDED the motion. Public Comments: S&ndra Voz&r - Owner of Toyon Village Apartments and Beluga RV Park. Vozar stated her property was first zoned as General Commercial. Vozar stated she was unaware their zoning was changed to Townsite Historic (TSH). Vozar stated she believed the property owners should have been notified. Vozar stated she submitted an application to change the zoning application back to General Commercial. A copy of the zoning application is included in Council's packet for their information. Vozar stated she would like her property and that of Bay Arms Apartments (she stated she was speaking for the owner) out of the TSH zone. Dorothy MoCar~ - Representing the Holy Assumption Russian Orthodox Church who is the largest landowner in Old Town (15 acres). McCard gave general history of the Church. McCard stated the Church completely supports the boundaries proposed by the Townsite Historic Task Force (TSHTF). McCard stated Council KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 6, 1993 PAGE 4 should ask themselves whether they can live with the careless destruction of the bluff. McCard added people come to Kenai for the history, not for shopping. Old Town is a historic area. McCard requested Council to not compromise the size of the area; to make their decision carefully; and to disregard the boundary proposed by Planning & Zoning. McCard stated the Church will not accept any other boundary other than those presented by the Task Force. K&rmn M&~urin - Mahurin stated she has lived in Kenai for 24 years and enjoys visiting the Old Town area. Mahurin stated Old- Town is the focus of the city, i.e. the landscape, tourists and people who live there. Mahurin stated her concern for the bluff and encouraged Council to adopt the ordinance. Mahurin stated she likes the idea of a historical district board and does not want commercial development in the area. Roger ~eeks - Meeks stated he was a member of the Task Force from the beginning. Meeks stated he was under the impression that the people in the area had all been notified and had a chance to comment. Meeks stated he believed they had not been. Meeks stated he does not want to be a part of forcing people to do something they do not want to do. Meeks stated Council needs to think of the people that live there first. The City needs the tourism, but asked that the people living in that area not be sacrificed for the sake of tourism. Meeks urged Council to look closely and keep the zone as small as possible and develop what they want to develop. Meeks added the biggest majority of the historic townsite is already developed. Meeks suggested the property needing to be included is the area for the Heritage Village and below the bluff. Meeks urged the Council to concentrate on the area below the bluff. ~ Sm~N& - Born in Kenai in 1923. Requested the City/Council leave some of his heritage. It would be good for his culture. J~m ANness - Was a member of the Task Force. Arness stated the Task Force was involved in rewriting the existing ordinance and recommended changes to the boundaries. The Task Force also made a list of possible projects for after the Board is set. ness stated the intent of the Task Force was based on the ncern for the approach taken by Planning & Zoning. P&Z's KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 6, 1993 PAGE 5 approach was to leave the ordinance as it exists and restrict the use of the land mass involved. At that time, the Task Force was created to review the matter. Arness stated his opinion is the ordinance has had some superficial changes, i.e. establishment of a board to work with P&Z in an advisory role. P&Z and the Task Force reviewed and compared their findings in a work session. P&Z agreed to the board because it has no enforcement powers. P&Z wanted to reduce the land mass to what they proposed. Arness stated there has been a lot of time and work put into this, but nothing has come out of it. The ordinance only works with the people. The board- can be established with the ordinance and needs an area with which to work. The restricted area proposed by P&Z has already been developed. There are only two areas open for development, i.e. that of the proposed Heritage Park and the Fish & Wildlife property. Arness pointed out that as the ordinance stipulates now, the Katmai Visitor Center would not be able to be in the TSH zone. Arness stated the Task Force is saying, if you are going to do it, make the area different than any other in the community. They ~do not want Kmarts there. It was not even their intent to encourage tourists to come there. The area is just for the people. The Task Force would like the land mass as they have suggested and would like the Council's cooperation. Arness added it has been frustrating as the Task ForCe made their recommendation in January. Since then, there has been development in the zone which would not have been able to be done if their ordinance, etc. had been in place. Arness requested Council do the whole thing, or nothing at all. Discussion followed regarding the square footage allowed for commercial buildings at (e)(3)(i) of the ordinance. Arness stated their intent was a business organization could occupy no more than 2,500 square feet of a building. Their idea was to limit shops or restaurants to smaller organizations. Arness stated that applies to everything. The Task Force did not want a large individual facility. They wanted to keep the businesses small and to scale. Williams stated it could then be interpreted that a museum could not occupy more than 2,500 square feet. Smalley suggested a definition be included in the ordinance to circumvent future problems. Williams reminded the audience and Council there were four separate ordinances needing action. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 6, 1993 PAGE 6 Will Jahrig - Was a resident of Old Town for many years and is a landowner in the area. Jahrig stated he would like the history preserved. Jahrig stated he has a hard time with the city wanting to further their properties if the city is not going to take ownership of the property or help with the development. Jahrig stated he wants to better the area as it has been stagnant for a long time. Jahrig stated he would like development of the area to be faster. Jahrig stated Council is now trying to put a clamp on the property to take care of past problems and future ones. Jahrig stated he is not sure how this will help the property owners. Jahrig stated he has not been asked about developing it. Jahrig stated he does not have a problem with positive development. Jahrig stated he has tried to sell some of his property, but the real estate agent will not touch it due to the restrictions now there. Jahrig added he has a hard time finding out what the Council is trying to'accomplish. Jahrig suggested action be held for a time until the property owners are asked their ideas of what to do. It was determined the Task Force began their work in 1992. Prior to that, the Planning & Zoning Commission reviewed the ordinance. Williams added the ordinance before them now was introduced in September. Swarner asked Jahrig if he received the letter sent in August. Monfor stated there have been articles and editorials in the Clarion as well. Kornelis confirmed all property owners within the proposed zone and all property owners within 300 feet' of the zone were sent information regarding the public hearings, etc. The addresses used were those from the Borough tax rolls. MOTION TO AMEND: Councilman Smalley MOVED to amend Item (c) to include the comment from the Judith Bittner memo (included in the packet), i.e. "The Board shall develop a local historical preservation plan that will be compatible with the Alaska State Historic Preservation Plan and produce information that is compatible with the Alaska Heritage Resource Survey." Councilwoman Monfor SECONDED the motion. Smalley referred to Bittner's letter and suggested the item subparagraphs be renumbered or this sentence be added as Item 9. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 6, 1993 PAGE 7 Swarner stated she believed she had a conflict of interest because her husband co-owns property in Old Town. Attorney Graves stated generally a councilmember may vote to rezone property. Direct financial gain is limited from a rezone of property. Graves added Swarner would not be getting direct financial gain. Graves stated in his opinion, there is no direct conflict. Williams added he did not see a direct conflict of interest. There was no further discussion on the amendment. VOTE ON MOTION TO AMEND: Smalley: Yes Swarner: Yes Williams: Yes Monfor: Yes Bookey: Yes - Measles: Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. MOTION TO AHEND: Councilman Smalley MOVED to amend the ordinance on Page 5, adding an ~Item 13, "Individual Use - Refers to an individual business in its entirety." MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF SECOND. Graves stated it is his understanding Arness was referring to any business organization or organizational unit. Williams referred to Page 3, Item (e)(3)(i) regarding the size of the unit. Williams asked if Council wants to limit the size of the units to 2,500 square feet. Williams stated he was concerned for the Heritage Park if it is decided to put a museum there. Measles stated that item discusses commercial buildings. Measles asked if a museum would be considered a commercial building. Graves stated he did not think a government building is commercial. However, if there is a conflict here, it should be resolved now. Williams suggested Item (e)(3)(i) be a separate entity and should be a section addressing commercial buildings. After Council defines how to treat a commercial building, then the item could be separated. Monfor stated she believed it would be discriminatory to allow government entities in the area and not allow individuals. Measles stated he believed they could be if the type of activity is limited. Arness stated one of the basic concepts of the historical district is to be concerned with the scale, i.e. size relative to KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 6, 1993 PAGE 8 the other business and structures there and what was there previously. Arness stated the intent of the Task Force was to keep the entities to a size commensurate with that portion of the community. Williams stated a theater would have to hold 100-150 people. City Engineer Jack La Shot explained item (e)(3)(i) talks about uses. The Land Use Table has included in it the uses of the property. La Shot suggested cutting out the word "commercial" if the sentence is a problem. Williams stated Graves' suggestion of including an exception, i.e. "except that the commission may allow such a structure if in compliance with the zone." Discussion followed. The proposed amendment was discussed. Measles stated they would not be changing the total size of the building. Arness stated it was the Task Force's intent to eliminate large interests. Measles stated he did not believe the 5,000 sq. ft. should be changed. Smalley stated the 'Planning & Zoning Commission would have the authority for conditional uses, etc. The Board would make recommendations. HOTION TO ~,.~END.- Councilman Smalley MOVED to amend Item (e) (3) (i) and to remove Item (i) and make it a separate Item 4 and re-number 4 to 5. Measles suggested to end the sentence after "5,000 square feet per story. Start a new sentence with "Any individual unit within the structure of no more than 2,500 square feet except that the commission may allow a larger individual unit if it determines it is compatible with the zone." Smalley agreed. Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion. VOTE ON ~L~ND~: Smalley: Yes Swarner: Yes Williams: Yes Monfor: No Bookey: Yes Measles: Yes I~OTION P~,~ED.

Ordinance No. 1569-93 - Amending the Official City of ~ Kenai Zoning Map for Certain Lands Described as a ~ Portion of Section 5 & 6, T5N, RllW, Townsite Historic Zone. MOTION~ Councilman Smalley MOVED for adoption of Ordinance No. 1569-93 ~nd Councilman Bookey SECOI~ED the motion. Public comments: D~&~m B&nn~k - Representing Planning & Zoning Commission. ~annock stated when the Planning & Zoning Commission decided this issue, Ordinance No. 1567-93 had their blessing if that ordinance KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 6, 1993 PAGE 10 was attached to the boundary the Commission recommended. Bannock stated he believed he could speak for the whole Commission because they were unanimous with their vote. Bannock added if the boundary size is different than their recommendation, the Commission would not approve Ordinance No. 1567-93. S&ndra Voz&r - Stated she preferred the P&Z Commission's recommendation of boundary size. Vozar stated she would like Toyon Villa and Bay Arms Apartments out of the zone but understands she must go to P&Z in order to do it. Vozar stated Council needs to be think what they are doing to the property owners of the area when they attach the area. K&ren M&hurin - Stated when she first read the ordinance, she believed the existing boundary was too large. Then she drove through the area a number of times. Mahurin stated she feels a lot of the property owners knew the area was historical when they first purchased property there. Mahurin added she believes the ordinance has lots of ways to handle development. Mahurin stated it is important to have more than tall buildings, etc. Mahurin recommended the boundary stay large. Mahurin added history is important. The area needs compatible use. What is existing is compatible. Requested Council to be cautious and selective. Mahurin stated she prefers the existing boundary (Map "A"). Her second choice is Map "C" (TSHTF Alternate No. 2). Jeff Jefferson - Lives in Kenai and does not own property in Old Town. Jefferson stated he does not favor the P&Z recommended boundary as it has no relationship to the historical area. Jefferson added the P&Z recommendation exempts five buildings that are very historical. Jefferson added the City of Kenai needs to make a harder decision, i.e. do they want to create a small zone around the church and make it impossible to develop around the church or have a zone to include all the buildings and loosen the regulations to have other development compatible. Jefferson stated the TSHTF Alternate No. 2 is logical as it recognizes the existence of the historical area. Jefferson stated he believed the City needs to have a historical area and it should include historical buildings or make the area very small around the Church. Jefferson recommended Map "C," TSHTF Alternate No. 2. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 6, 1993 PAGE 11 Will J&hrig - Jahrig stated he believed the smaller zone is better for management, but may be negative for development. Jahrig added he believes (the smaller zone) will restrict movement in that direction. Jahrig added they need a positive direction from the City. If the City purchases a block or section to install a park, that would be a positive step. Jahrig stated he does not like restrictions put on his properties. Jahrig added if Council chooses a smaller area, they will take out a lot of historical buildings. Jahrig stated there are loopholes in the new boundary. If restrictions are needed, the City should hash them out with the property owners. Williams stated if Council chooses the P&Z recommendation, the zone will be a small area. Most of its land is owned by the federal government or the Church and some apartment buildings. The P&Z boundary recommendation would be the smallest zone with the least effect on the entire area. Williams added Council is not wanting to restrict development, but use guidelines on how to develop the property. Williams stated he personally would prefer to include the entire Old Town area. Development can be done compatible with the area. Smalley stated he appreciated the Task Force and their long and hard work. Smalley stated in 1986-87 the original TSH zone was passed. Since'then, lots of time and effort has been put into the handling of the zone. P&Z has dealt with numerable concerns, praises, etc. Smalley stated he has to go on record supporting the P&Z map with the exemption of the Miller house, Cowan's office, etc. Those properties are on the perimeter and the owners have asked to be exempted from the zone. The reason P&Z exempted some and not others was to protect the reason behind the TSH zone and that is the Church property. Smalley added those properties exempted are not exempted from preservation grants. Smalley stated the P&Z boundary reduces the size and restricts more. Smalley stated he supports Map (D), the P&Z recommended boundary. Monfor stated the P&Z recommended boundary is fine if it is the desire to only protect the Church. Monfor stated she supports Map "C" (TSHTF Alternate No. 2). This boundary is smaller than Alternate No. 1, but takes in more. Monfor stated she does not think the property owners understand they are all a part of Old Town. This does not mean they cannot move forward. The City is not representing only the tourists. Kenai is unique. Ownership of that area has not changed much. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 6, 1993 PAGE 12 Monfor added she would not approve any taking of property by any means but protection is needed for what is there and use Map "C," (TSHTF Alternate No. 2). Bookey stated he has lived in Kenai for 33 years. Bookey stated he does not think the TSH zone hurt the city. Bookey stated he went through the steps when putting in his RV park. Bookey stated the zone has been good for the city and good for his business. Bookey stated he respects the Task Force's work and recommends Map "B" (TSHTF Alternate No. 1). Swarner stated she supported Map "C" (Alternate No. 2). MOTION TO AMEND: Councilwoman Monfor MOVED to amend to have this ordinance include the Townsite Historic Task Force rezone recommendation of Alternate No. 2, Map "C." Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. VOTE ON AMENDMENT: Smalley: No Swarner: Yes Williams: Yes Monfor: Yes Bookey: No Measles: Yes MOTION P~%SSED.

Public comment: KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION- Meeting - September 8, 1993 Page 4 5. PUBLIC HEARINGS , a. Resolution PZ 93-38' Rezone Townsite Historic Zoning District La Shot Reported that the City Attorney and Planning Staff had gone through the ordinance and incorcorat~ comments from the last work session. The packet also contained zone recommendations from Planning and Zoning and Townsite Historic. Bryson Noted the additional material the Commission had received regarding the propos~ml "Heritage Park'. He asked for an ululate on this development. Councilman Smalley Reported that Council has been discussing the potential for a historical park in Oldtown. Mayor Williams has b~n visiting with Judith Bittner, State Historic Preservation Officer,. them may be some grants available for preliminary work to develop historic sites in communities. The city is looking into these grants to research the feasibility of this type of complex. Mayor Williams Explained that the handout material contained a conceptual idea of where this development might go. Four sources of funding have b~n id~'~t~i~l for these types of projects. Long before the concept is started the city will need to meet with property owners to s~ if they wish to sell their property for this development and also to discuss with surrounding property owners whether they want this park in Oldtown. ,at this point the vision is that this park would contain many historical elements, such as the old log cabins by Ft. Kenay, antique machinery, cannery oquipment, and a heritage ha~or, consisting of a rais~l platform where people could view fishing vessel, and also a possible theater for the Kenai Performers. This is just in the planning stages at this point. Council was not sure it was in the TSH zone and it appears that it would be on all three proposed rezones. Becky Tromblee Asked the Mayor to elaborate on the theater and off-street parking lots. Williams Stated that the theater would probably hold 150 people. to be off-str®~t paved parking to facilitate the theater. There would need Bryson Confirmed that the proposed site for this development is presently in the TSH zone and would remain in the zone on all thr~ proposals. Bannock Asked for clarification on Resolution PZ 93-38. ordinance and the zoning boundaries? Does that include both the KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION- Meeting - September 8, 1993 Page 5 La Shot Felt it was just the bounclaries. One of the proposed boundaries or a revisc~i boundary should be seloct~ at the time of the motion. Bryson Opened the meeting to the public. PUBLIC HEARING- VERBATIM Richard Mueller- P.O. Box 1470, Kenai. I would like to support the P&Z Commission recommendation for the TSH zoning boundari~. The big problem is, that we startc~ in excess of 20 years too late on a historic district. There is not too much historic there, other than the Russian Church, and the Fort Kena¥ complex and that. I don't see any reason to include any of the areas south of the. Spur Highways, over towards Broad Strut and that ar~a. One of your obi~tNes in this, ~ I undemtand it, is to promote development in Olcltown. Your land use planning, or Land Use Table allows thrc~ permitted uses, other than public or institutional uses. All the othem would require a conditional use permit (CUP). I would suggest that possibly a better way would be to allow most permitt~l uses and use an arohitectuml committe~ to s~ that it conforms with the TSH district rather than having to go through the entire process of a CUP. I t:~lieve that possibly the public would s~ this as less of a problem in getting a permit to do things. Thank you. Vozar My name is Sandra Vozar, my address is 1001 Mission Street, #19, Kenai. I agrc~ with Mr. Mueller in that I think that the P82. reoomm~dation on page 8d. is the best solution for this whole thing. You need to not have such a large bmacl area. We don1 have that many old buildings in Kenai now to encompass taking ail the wag over by Bluff and Marine and Broadway and Broad Street. That's a real big ama to put down a lot of tight controls on it. I also think it would be a good idea to broaden the conditional use so that if somebody had an idea that they w~nt to build some tyl~ of a structure they can come in, talk to an amhitectuml committee, discuss it with them and have their plans reviewed instead of it being stdctly municipal and government tg~ businesses in hem, which is what this heritage thing is supposed to be. What you're doing is zoning an area and then salting now we're going to fill it up with a heritage park, which is an okay idea, I don't have any problem with the heritage park. But I'm just saying, leave it up to some other people to think up some other ide~ for the am~. KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Meeting - September 8, 1993 Page 6 Also, just hmm, in the memorandum that was mailed to the people it was dated August 27th. And it stated on the second page, P&Z Commission mc~ting September 8th, written comments should be directed to Loretta Harvey, Administrative Assistant by 12:00 noon, September 3rd. Well, I didn~ receive mine, mine was mailed by the city on August 30th. I don't, there are a lot of property owners in' this area that are outside. And if they don't get this thing mailed to them by September 3rd there's not even enough turn around time for them to get a comment back to you. I think it unfair to the people in the ama, I think there should have b~n more time to respond so they could have had time to respond. And even so, August 30th is the postmark on mine, so that's eight days ago, or nine days ago, and we've had about five days that were weekends and holidays. The memorial day weekend and so forth, so it was - really a tough time for people to get out them, so that's probably why you haven't had much of a turnout. I thought you might like the envelope, (handing envelope to Commissioner Bannock). Thank you. Bryson other questions for Mrs. Vozar? testify? Okay. Other persons who would like to Tom Tomrdle, Hi, my name's Tom Tomrdle and ! (inaudible). And I reviewed all these and I think the Mayor's idea is very good but I'm totally against this. And if l had to pick one I'd say yea, I go for the one recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission, 'cause I'm not in it. I'll tell you why. I'm not sure if it's something ·.. May be small town politics, I mean here you've got the City Council member who is also on the Townsite Historic Task Force (TSHTF) and other things around town and I don't see his property on any of these proposals. Yet, up to last year he had thrcm things that was historic them. Now bofom you guys make a decision on this I think you Should find some answers. I mean, I just don't think it's fair to the rest of the property owners in Oldtown. Any questions? Bryson Any questions for Mr. Tom rdle? Ah, Duane? Bannock Mr. Tomrdle you know the work I~/e done, involved in this, and stuff.' Can you give us an idea, in your mind, what should be done hem? Tomrdle Absolutely, ! think you should first of all identify everything that is historic left in Oldtown. I disagree with the gentleman, a site, what am you going to do put up an information kiosk, something used to sit here? That's not interesting to anybody. You should identify what's loft there and then put information kiosks on them and be done with it. I mean, I brought an old photo of how Oldtown was, and you know, there's very few things that's loft on them. It's a blow-up you can s~ it all. But you KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION- Meeting - September 8, 1993 Page 7 see the scenes, but it's real old. i think it should be addressed. I feel like I'm caught between two RV pa~s. I fc~t that's what this whole thing is all about. Any other questions? Thank you. Bryson Thank you. Am there any other persons who wish to testify? Clarence Ladd Yes, I'm Clarence Ladd, Kenai Box 1404. Just a point of information, as I'm sitting hem listening to some o~ them hem, the Mayor and the Council am coming up with. I recall, way back in the '40's and '50's when we had electricity here in Kenai, old kilowatt, Frank Rowley had over them, as I r~:~all we had that el~tdcity there and that big engine he hacl in there, we used to have a puml3 of oil in them. We- us~ml to pump oil right in there. Just a point of orcler, pe~aps the Mayor and the Council should look into it. We would not want to turn around ancl spend another $309,000 in some property and find out it's contaminated. I don't know if anybody thought of that. But just by looking on this it was lot 5, I think it is, yes, lot 5, worth on estimate here, $26,500. That was all. Thank you. Bryson Other questions for Mr. Ladd? Other persons wishing to testifY? Dorothy McCard My name is Dorothy McCarcl and my address is 193 Trumpeter Avenue, Soldotna. i was one of the p~ople appointtml by Mayor Williams to serve on the Task Force (TF) that began it's work, oh gosh, over a year ago. I would like to have the P~. Commission consider the throe maps that am in tonight's packet and urge you to strongly consider the one that our IF has proposed, either of the ones our task force has proposed, for the reason that it was base-mi on a complete and detail~l architectural survey. Ah, one of the first tasks that we decided to do under the direction of Judith Bittner was take a walking tour. Well, we sort ol combin~ it, walked and rode. And we have a very detailed description of the buildings in the old town. Roger Meeks and the Historical Society is probably much mom pmparc~t to tell you in detail about those. And tonight we don't really have time to go into it but they are documented. And, I think that the size o~ the historical zone is extremely important because it has to be large enough to encompass and protect, otherwise it d~eats the whole purcose of the ordinance if we shdnk it down. My understanding was that if the P&Z's map of the rezone was based partially on the presumption that by d~reasing the size that them would be fewer problems in dealing with the zone as a whole. Our map has included areas which we feel are very important, tying into the whole foundation of what historical preservation is all about. And I think that question really needs to be answered tonight for all of us. And it ties into one question I always have, is why do people come to the City o~ Kenai? Why do p~3ple live hem? Why do people work here? Why do people come and be a part-of this community? KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION · ~ Meeting - September 8, 1993 Page 8 And, historical preservation is not in conflict with progress or economic development. On the contrary, in other communities where historical preservation district (HPD) have been put into place it has stabilized property Values. It has made the area one that is attractive to businesses. It's simply asking, it's not preventing progress or c~onomic development, but it's asking that things be done tastefully. We've seen in the past what's happened them, when the zoning has been so loose, that a man came in hem two years ago and he was allowed to have horseback rides, salmon bakes, volley ball games, almost anything he wanted, even without adequate parking. He had absolutely no parking facilities because it was privately owned. What we're asking is that this zone look at what is really best for Kenai? You know, what is best for the City of Kenai? In talking with perhaps, several hundred tourists this summer, one of the things they're interested in, is what was it like here? And so maybe the HPD isnt just about sights and places, it's about people. It's about the past of this area. And, you know, all of us trace our families back and we're proud of our heritage. People come to Kenai because they want to see a piece of what Russian American history was like. They want to know what it was like for the Native people that lived here. And what several people here have pointed out, a lot of this is coming too late. A lot of this has been wiped out already. But that doesn't mean to me that we should be defeated. That we should stop here, we should really take a strong look at it and say, "Hey, let's stop." And see that it really does tie into the economic development of Kenai. Hrnm, and I guess when I say it's about people I think what I'm really getting at is that it's about the people who lived here 500 yearn ago, 1,000 years ago, 200 years ago. It's not about a pretty little church with a white picket fence around it, that happens to be one of the only twenty historic national landmarks in the State of Alaska. It's about what the people did here when the Russian priests came here. They protected the people. The tourists are very interested to hear about those pieces of history. About what it was like then. And Ithink the Task Force has done a job that has been needed to be done for a long, long time. So, in your deliberations again tonight I would like you to strongly consider the zoning maps we have included again, because they are based on detailed historical data. And again, historical preservation is not about decreasing progress, or preventing progress it's simply asking people to do things tastefully and in context with the area. i'd be glad to answer any questions you might have. Bryson Any questions? Thank you. KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION- Meeting - September 8, 1993 Page 9 McCard Oh, I have one last thing I wanted to say, I just thought of it. Ancl, Hmm, also I would like you to consider, possibly placing a moratorium on any building proi~ts that might come up in this time period betw~n now and when this Ordinance is taken up by City Council for public hearing and actually decided upon. For all intents and purcos~ the building season is at a close. Hmm, I f~t it would be in the best interest in the City that any type of building project in the area be postponed for this building season. Bryson Any other persons who would like to speak? Roger Meeks Roger Meeks, 808 Peninsula. I~/e been on the Oldtown committee ever since it start~:l, b~ause I live in that area ariel I ropres~nt the Historical Society. I'm going to forget about being on any committee tonight I'm gonna speak the way I fo~l. Not the wag the grou~ fc~ls, or an~hing at. ut it. I honestly believe that we're 20 years too late to save a lot of this to save Oldtown. I was fighting for this 25 years ago and the only one who would listen was Bill Harrison who was our City Manager at the time. We went to him and we worked with him and he saved all the old buildings he could save with fome account work. It didn't cost us anything we did it with city employees of Kenai. We tded to save more of it, but we couldn't. We tried, and tded, and tdecl to save the history of the city and it just went hodge-podge and nobody would listen to anybody. Everybody's woke up to the fact that we did, we do have a lot of history on paper now, but as far as it being in the City, it's gone now. We can still develop what we have left. But I am a firm believer in not pushing any citizen into anything that, where the majority is against it. I was for developing this historic zone, and we were to understand, that we were to develop it and to come up with, as a task force our boundaries that we, which we did, and the P&Z come up with theirs, and the City Council came up with theirs. And we all put them together ancl we all got together and developed one we thought we could all live with. Providing we could get the people that owned the property to go for it. This was my idea, if the people, if nobody was to go for it I find it pretty hard to try'and push them into it. We do have large property owners like Clarence Ladd, and a whole group of people that, they have historic prol~rty yes. But the historic parts gone, except for the talking. Ah, I would like to see us go ahead and develop this historic zone with the church property and the c~n~targ and the Ft. K~¥ group in there, that group of buildings And the buildings that we have behind Ft. Kenay. Still develop the area b~tween Overland, Mission and Upland if we could s~um the pro~rty. Develop that spot, incorporate it into the TSH, and continue to develop a Historic Village at the KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Meeting - September 8, 1993 Page 10 same time all of the other from Bay View Arms down to Toyon, and down through the whole area all the way down to Louisa Miller's place is completely built with modern buildings. The apartments and dental buildings, the oilers building, (actually the Oiler's building is about as historic as you can get still left standing). I mean it's the first cement block building in the City, still left standing. If you could include in my, this is my thinking, I haven1 talked to the Mayor, or anybody, it's just coming off the top of my head after hearing everyone testify and they were so against it. Include the church property, all the church property. Include the shrine and the church and the cemetary, including the Fish and Wildlife area across the street from the area where we want the historic buildings. Include the triangle piece between Overland, Mission and Upland period. Not anything else, but drop over the bank in that area, at the Russian shrine go down to Spruce, go down Spruce, up to include right to the Sewer Treatment Plant and than go east all the way down the creek, all the way to the end of the point to take in our beach area where the sand dunes are and the area where we should really start protecting more than we are. Because if the sand dunes are destroyed the first thing that we're going to do is get high southwesters coming in there with the grass gone, with the 3-whC~lem and RV's running over it, that sand dune is going to be flattened out and when it does that tide starts washing it's going to go right over into that basin and it's going to start eating away at the bluff by the Bay View Arms and everything else all the way down to Cowan's property. So if we could include the church property, the triangle where we wanted the historic townsite, over to Spruce down and include all the sand dunes along the beach in our historic zone so we can control that. B~ause last summer it really pickt~l up, it's gonna pick up more, it's gonna get alot of use. And develop this ama, they have to come up with somothing for parking. Develop a theater in this ama, the theater can add alot of historical value to the city. And, I think it would be accepted by the City I think the city would be behind it. I think in my own mind, like I said, I haven't talked to anybody not even my wife, for a change. And this, all she says is that she wants those sand dunes preservod. They have to be. Someone has to look a~ter them because the people are destroying them. And other than that, she doesn't know what area I was talking about. But, I'd like for you to think about that and I'm sure that you can get all the townspeople behind you if you use that area. And, by excluding the other area, you're not really excluding history. B~ause all the historg that is there is history you can talk about. And we can talk about it whether it's included in this zoning or not. Thank you. Bryson Thank you Roger, Ah... KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION- Meeting - September 8, 1993 Page 11 Kevin Walker Mr. Meeks, l have a question, if I may? you're looking at? The one youYe ctrawn on. Can I see your map, the one Meeks I just, I didnl eliminate the areas I was talking about. Planning and Zoning's fimt choice. It was them. It'S Walker In your description I didn't see were you had eliminated any of the, both items there. Bannock Mr Chairman, what I was going to suggest, perhaps Mr. Meeks could show us, and evergone else in the audience that there is a plat o~ Oldtown down them. And- perhaps if you could show us on there. Meeks Here's the triangle that the Mayor was talking about using this area for a heritage village, include the shrine property, the chumh property and the cemotarg and the chumh, and Ft. Kenay and all that, across the street, this triangle right here. Historical buildings in that area with (inaudible). ~o~~ about all this other hem, except go over the hill, down to Spruce, Spruce goes all the way to the beach. Go all the wag over to Spruce, go down the c~nter o~ Spruce down the d~iding line 'til you get to the (side A of tape ended) .... go straight down there so we can protect all our sand dunes and prot~t the (inaudible). Come down the beach, this down here, right down here to the end of the sand dunes here, and that's the end of your Oldtown. Bannock If I could just follow up on this? Meeks If you include this area hem, from Spruce and all of the property. There some private property owners down here, of coume, all this hinges on ~ you can s~:~ure the property from private individuals. That is my personal idea (inaudible). Bannock Then Mr. Meeks, if you could come back to this map that you have right here, and show me outside of the shaded ama on page 8d. Meeks That map that I gave you doesn't have any street names. Bryson Roger, are you, you're proposing to leave out the Vozar's complex, and the RV Park, and the Cherrier apartments? Is that clear? KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION - Meeting - September 8, 1993 Page 12 Meeks All eliminated. It's where the Toyon Apartments are is certainly historical, cause that's where the American school was, down the street from the Russian school, except where Ft. Kenay, is the Russian school. We ali know that a year earlier, it was torn down in '56, it must have bo~n during the night, b~ause I didn't even see it being torn down. Then down the street, where the Toyon Apartments are was the American school which later boeame the Mamhall's office and the jail and all that, including Jettie Petersen's. But that history is 'gone, it's wiped off and the Toyon Apartments am there and the trailer park is there. So them is no historg them except to talk about it. Well we can talk about it, whether it's in the historic zone or not. You can talk about it, you can say them where the Toyon Apartments are is whero them used to be the American school, back in the Russian days. Like that, that's all you can do right here. This whole triangle, all the way up, excluding this, thero's some apartment buildings on the end and than there's a long term resident here on the end, Lonzy Stanford. He's been them, I don1 know for how many years, and it would be pretty hard to push him out of there. I don't believe in it in the first place. Bannock Is there anything not shaded on this map, (this shaded area indicates what P&Z has recommended to be the total size of the TSH ama). Is them anything on this map that's not shaded, that you feel should be shaded? And shaded is the TSH district. Meeks No, there's some that is shaded that I feel should be eliminated, but not anything else shaded over this area. Bannock Thank you. Meeks This triangle right here, and of course, like l say, we must go over Spruce and go down and include this beach ama. Bannock So if anything excluding, where you were talking about bringing this over to Spruce, this zone is too big. Meek What zone is too big? Bannock Well yea, I was thinking of eliminating all the buildings in the block where the Toyon Apartments am, including their trailer court. Bryson Are them any more questions for Roger? testimony if we might. I would like to get back into public KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION- Meeting - September 8, 1993 Page 13 he said, "Leo, you know this whole area that's called the East Addition, it was originally setup for a withdrawal for the school building. The school is on the same property, within the east addition." And he said, 'Where your building is, is where at one time they had the agricultural - they had an agricultural experimental station here at one time. And where your building is - is where the pig pens were." So we had quite a distinction for awhile. Well the other day I went through my archives and I came up with an old East Addition Townsite map of Kenai. And the only reason I'm saying this is because when the lady was talking about the Task Fome recommendation, it includes a part of the East. Addition. Now, apparently from what Louie told me, it was all wooded area, until it was - withdrawn. I found a whole bunch o~ plats and maps that I have that show all o~ the big withdrawal area that we have to live with when the City of Kenai was first bom. But an~va¥, the East Addition, when the BI.M got a hold o~ it, what they d~id~ is, they set up the nearly 132,8204 s.f. area where the old school is now and they d~:~ided they were going to sell of[ the mst o~ the land. That's why we have all those strange little 50 by 100 foot lots in them. Someone up in Washington D.C. I guess. But angwa¥, to gNe you the date, to show that them probably isn't much historioal background in that area. This was set up in June 23rd, 1950 and approved by the BALM on July 10, 1950. Well in 1951 is wh~'~ they held a sale ol the lots. They had a sale of the lots, some of the old timers here in the community would know about it. Well they sold of[ all those lots exce~ where the school building is. Is what at:~ut that time that the school was being built. Anyway, just for your information I'll pass this around hero, and I have a lot more of these, thank goodness, that I found. Bryson Are them any questions for Leo? Oberts But anyway, the East Addition is not that old. I guess we're getting all that old, but 1950 is not getting back into the real histo~ of Kenai. Bryson Thank you. McCard I would like to make a comment in sort of in regards to what you said. Our task fome took into consideration history that w~ prior to 1950. I me~n, the histo~ of Kenai goes way back, to way beyond 1791 when the first Russian fur traders came here and the fimt I~oples liv~l here. So in our consideration of what w~ an histodc area it has been noted that the original Dena'ina village is about a mile from where the chapel is today, up river. If you'd like to s~ some o~ our work atmut that I'd be glad. Bry$on Excuse me, I wonder if you would .like to keep your comments addressed to KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Meeting - September 8, 1993 Page 14 the Chairm an? Oberts on this. Excuse me, it's just that the area was all wooded, when we were first building Bryson Thank you. Other persons who would like to testify? Mayor John Williams Thank you Mr. Chairman. I won't speak specifically to TSH but I'!1 speak specifically to history itself. We speak in terms of history as if it's something ancient or long past and that partially is true. But history is also yesterday, or this morning or two minutes ago. And when we talk about history we talk about everything that is behind us. Whether it's 50 years ago that is an element of history of the community. It was 40 years ago when the government surveyors came in and platted Oidtown, that's an element of history. Whether it goes back to the time when America first took the territory over from the Russians, that's an element of history. So we need to think not only of what TSH means yesterday, 50 years or 100 years ago, but what it's going to mean 50 yearn from now, when the 1950 period we're talking about now is going tc be 90 years old, and when the period that we are talking about today will be 50 years old. History is something where we should preserve the past, look forward to preserving in the future as well. So I think alot of consideration needs to be given about what the elements of history are all about when we come to speaking of Oldtown. The elements and how much you want to put into one specific zone is one thing and perhaps we may be looking at it in the wrong context. Perhaps what we need to look at is the historical settings within the whole area on an individual basis. I've had the opportunity of travelling throughout the State of Alaska the last 30 years and I've watched things evolve and I've seen how other communities have handled history. And many times rather than designating a specific zone, there are certain elements within the whole area that are looked upon with historical significance but are preserved within their own element. So we might want to keep that in context as well. The whole concept of TSH merely means that we want to designate this whole area as an area to look upon in the idea of preservation for future development lending itself in the context towards what history really meant here. Towards the concept, the design and the concept of the buildings, not to stop any development, not to prevent anybody from doing anything with their developing. But mom or ~ess insure that any development that goes on in KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION- Meeting - September 8, 1993 Page 15 the future has some view toward the historical significance of the ground it is sitting on as well. Thank you. Bryson Thank you. Any persons who would like to speak that haven1 spoken? Mm. Vozar would like to sl~ak again is them any problem with that? Vozar I'm Mrs. Vozar again, I can1 believe that my dream would come true that somebody would say let's leave out the Toyon Villa and let's leave out Bay Arms. I don't believe the Toyon Villa has any historical value, or the Bay Arms and what would concern me is I understand that if there were a fire in our place that by the way the ordinance is written, that if our places were destroyed by fire that we would have the - right for two years to come back and to put it back as it was. And I hope that that would continue if Toyon Villa or Bay Arms is kept in there I would like to make sure that wording stays in there that we would be able to continue to leave our places there and to continue to build on them. However, my husband and I do a lot of traveling and we~/e been all over Czecholovakia and other places. We're kind of lazy travelers we like to go into a museum and see just what somebody says. 'This is where the Russian's landed this is where this happened. This is why this happened, this is why that happened. But it's all within a building.' How many people have gone to Portage Glacier and you've~ got that visitor center them and you go into the visitor center and you walk around in there. You scan at the glacier get in your car and leave. Not many people take the walk all the way up to glacier to see what the glacier was. They look at it within the museum or'within the building that is them. And the same thing people are not going- to look, they're going to look at the heritage museum or whatever and they're going to say, oh right there where the Toyon Villa is that's where the jail was. They're not going to walk over to the side of the Toyon Villa and say this is where the jail was. Who cams? Or, this is where an indian village was, or the livestock was several years ago. I do believe though, that the town that I see, because I'm right on that bluff everyday, and I s~ what hacpens to those sand dunes down I~low. And that road should be closed off. You would not believe the vehicles, the 4-wheelers, The other night them. were kids down there just spinning their v~hicles around, we could h~ar the noise. And those pieces of property down them are valued at about 500 or 600 dollars. And I kinda look over that blu~ and I kinda say g~. In fact, I have on my computer I~ttem' to all of the owners. I'd like to buy that, and then I'd set a little sign down them that would say '10 bucks a night' par~ing and I could make alot of money in the month o~ July. But the City, the city has got quite a bit of that land already because~ people. KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION -- Meeting - September 8, 1993 Page 16 quite paying their taxes on it. Most of the owners of those properties have not changed in all these years. That's property that was auctioned off many years ago, those people bought that property. And lye talked to several of them on the phone, but that property is being destroyed. Every time somebody goes down there it is being destroyed and it does need to be secured and kept. And I'd sure love it if the Toyon Villa and the Bay Arms was kept out of it. Not that Bay Arms has anything to do with me. But I've talked to Wayne Cherrier and I know his feelings on it. That's all I have to say. Bryson Last chance to comment from the public, Tom? Tom Murphy Tom Murphy, 1604 Tanaga, I would like to urge you to pay heed to the only group that has put reallY serious time and study into this whole idea. And that is the task force. I would like you to put great weight on what they are recommending. Thank you. Bryson Thank you, yes? Becky Tromblee My name is Becky Tromblee, I live at 501 Mission Ave. I, two years ago, started coming to P&Z meetings because of things that were happening in Old Town. A year ago I saw a plan that used half my yard as an RV turn-around, lye walked the bluffs, I'¥e owned a piece of Oldtown only five years, i've walked the bluffs the beaches and a lot of Oldtown. I stopped about two years ago when all the problems started, because I didn't feel safe. I didn't feel very safe in Oldtown any longer. Hrnm, I hear people say that there isn't any history anymore, l also see RV parks put in where beautiful bluffs used to be. i also see restrictions lifted where a Hilton Hotel could go in front of my place. Which I am very against. I have a problem with too much development in an old area. I have a house that sits right close to the Russian Church, i can't be removed from the zone, which I am not asking to be, but I also think that we need to think about this a little bit harder. I see alot of things going on, we asked for a moratorium two years ago on this area, and then we may not have had an RV Park put in. I don't know what I want anymore, I think I wasted the last two years. I sat for a full year on this committee, i'm taking up my Thursday nights for hours on end, talking and hashing our things. I feel it's a waste of time. I don't like politics, I never did. I was kind of thrust into politics because of what I believe. And at this point, I would like to resign from the Historical committee. I would also like it on record that I am not giving up my yard for any RV turn-around or anything else. I have never seen a new plan for the road which I would like to see. I would like to be kept on the mailing list because I KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION- Meeting - September 8, 1993 Page 17 would like to keep informed about what happens to Oldtown. But I feel it is a waste of time. And I'm sorry that mor~ poople aren't real word~ about losing as much as we have back them. There isn't much left. And if we can't preserve what's them, Oldtown won't be them and Kenai is just another c~, b~ause it doesn't have a past you take it away. Thank you. Bryson Are them any questions for Mrs. Tromblee? go ahead. If there are no other requests ... John Consiel My name is John Consiel, Box 3367 Soldotna. I'm one of the, I'd be considered one of the oldtimers here in Kenai. I~/e lived here all my life and I have bluff property right over there by Kenai Joe's. And I've listened to the pros and cons of the Zoning act and Roger there he made a real good presentation. What I thought was excellent. There seems to be, he came up with the eroding problem. Now that's basically why I'm here, the eroding problem. Now that lady them she doesnl agree with the RV Park, but if she comes back here in the future the RV Park won't be there because the erosion rate right now is 3 1/2 feet a year in Oldtown. That's 3 1/2 feet, I've called the Army Corps of Engineers, I~/e called, lye talked to the Senators, or whatever that group is that comes around here, and I've addressed that problem to them. And they've said, all they've said is that they'll get back to me. And the comer of the road right there by my property is now 95 feet from the edge of that bluff. And somebody that gets a little bit tipsy, comes around that comer it's 120 feet to the river. So I'd like to know if we coUld possibly get a guardrail or something put up them. Because that area is going to be dangerous in the future. I thank you for your time. Bm/son Thank you. Are them any more questions for Mr. Consiel. At this point I would like to bring it back to the Commission for their wishes. Would you like to take a break at this time. Five Minute Recess was Taken at 8:30 p.m. Meeting reconvened at 8:45 p.m. Bryson called the meeting back to order asking the wishes of the Commission. MOTION: Walker MOVED for approval of Resolution PZ~93~8, and would like to .offer for a map item Sd. Glick SECONDED KENAI PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Meeting - September 8, 1993 Page 18 DISCUSSION- Walker Agreed with Meeks that there were some properties that should be left out of the zone, but this map was close to the citizens wishes. Bryson Explained that this Rezone will go to Council as a recommendation from P&Z. P&Z was not making the final decision on this rezone. Bannock Commented that he would be voting in favor of the ordinance. It has been a long process and he thanked the Oldtown Task Force and all the time they put into it. He did not consider their input a total waste of time. He felt some of the work and findings of the task force would be put to use, but the plan presented at the meeting (Item 8d.) was the best for the City. Bryson Noted that two letters had been received in time for the packet. One from Joe Graham and one from Morrison Fisher. Also Nick Poppin had sent a letter which was passed out prior to the meeting. Bannock Said he had spoken to Morrison Fisher and he was under the impression he was not in the zone to start with and did not want to be in the zone. VOTE: [~ANNOCKil'' ;~':BRYSON'," :-GUCK"*.

BOX 1227 KENAI, ALASKA 99611 December 9, 1993 Dear Mayor Williams and City Council Members, Historic Preservation is a fundamentally local activity and the most effective innova[ions continue to be implemented a~ the local level. During this past quarter century the attitude of historic preservation has dramatically changed. Today public officials actively promote historic preserva[ion as a means of achieving appropriate economic growth as well as enhancing employment oppormnides and public revenues. On December 15, you will be reconsidering the Townsite Historic Zone. I would like to take this opportunity to review a few of the most important facets of the proposed ordinance. *~la~ ~,~ bmm4ary ~aas ~: Under the direction of Judith Bittner, State Historic Preservation Officer, the task force undertook the job of finding out what was importan~ to preserve in the cir7 of Kenai by a walking site survey on August 29, 1992. Roger Meeks suggested that not ju~ age or location be considered, but the historic bearing the site had on the developmem: of Kenai. He further ~gge~ed 50 7ears of historical significance to the city as mmda. The task force used guidelines then not only recommended by stye au[horities, but also involved the Kenai Historical Socie~7 and local individuals. By setting the boundaries, the intent of the new preservation ordinance is "to provide for a mixed, controlled use in a designated area, which will protect: and enhance [he historic character of the zone .... to identif7 the City of Kenai's heritage, to present this heritage in a manner that promotes civic pride, and to foster an awareness of where we as a people have evolved." ~#y, the ne~ ordi_'~~__.~-_- 1. provides a city policy for the protection of historic properties. 2.. establishes an objective and democratic process for designating historic properties. 3. protects the integrity of these properties with a design review requirement. 4. authorizes design guidelines for new development within t~,~.~:~:~ zone to ensure that it is not destructive to the area's historic ch~,~,~cter. stabilizes the declimng neighborhood and protects and enhances property values. The new ordinance DOES NOT.- 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. restrict the sale of property. require improvements, changes or restoration of property. require approval of interior changes or altermon~. prevent construction within the historic area. require approval for ordinar7 repair or maintenance. require permission to paint a house or review color selection. Certainly the strongest argument for your support of historic preservation is its role in economic development. Studies repeatedly .reveal th~ experiencing history and culture are major goals for most touris~ and that historic attractions are the top destinations in many areas. One needs only to look a~ the local tourist brochures to see that one of the major reasons visitors come to our location is to view a piece of Alaskan history which i~ directly rel~ed to [he Russian Orthodox Church. Perhaps the objections recently received about the new ordinance reflect a lack of public education on historical pres~~ion within our community. Education is a key component to the effective~':,ess of the new historical preservation program, especially as the city moves to become a Certified Local Government under the National Park Service to'become eligible for grant money. A most recent negative pressure has been to include owner consent provisions in the new ordinance. Although these provisions are the result of the politics of having an ordinance adopted, a property owner's desires should not affect an objective judgment by the city council, the zoning commission, and the histcrical review board. As you review the chronology of this issue which officially began nearly two years ago, and has been on the back burner before then, I believe you ~vill ~ee clearly that ~e task force has ~horoughly ~tudied the issues, consulted the proper authorities, designed guidelines that will protect Kenai's herihage, and followed the proper channels for allowing public input. The task force itself was carefully selected to represent the different individuals, groups and organizations who would recognize the value of historic resources. Leadership in the protection of historic resources is in your hands. Whether these resources symbolizing the heritage of the ci~7 of Kenai are protected, u~ed, preserved, or destroyed is not a matter for which any state agency is respomble. Tha~ responsibili~, res~ with you, the elected officials, who represent the desires of your constituency. Therefore, on behalf of the Holy Assumption of the Virgin Mary Russian Orthodox Church, I urge you to keep Ordinances 1567-93 and 1569- 93 as originally passed on October 6, 1993. Sincerely, Dorothy G. McCard DecemOer 6, !993 City Council City of Kenai Kenai. Alaska Dear Council Members: As you are aware, I have served on your task' force whick~ was appointed to review current city ordinance regarding the Cit,,,'s historical district. Some time past, our group completed our review and submitted our suggestions regarding the ordinance as well as our opinions regarding other topics relating to this section of the city. During the entire process, it has become apparent that the council is not willing or able to make decisions regardin.o, this project. The latest delay regarding your reconsideration action at a meeting following the evening we were present is evidence of that inaction. I can only conclude that you as a body do not wish to take a positive action on the proposed activities. Conversely. you seem hesitant to negate all action for whatever reason. As inactivity generally results in a more negative conclusion than a no vote, I suggest you vote to eliminate all suggestion of a historical district. Replace the current zoning with that of your most commercial-commercial and allow those ~ho feel their properties would be worth large sums of money realize those apparent profits. In other words, take this pro~ect out of its misery and go on to other activities that you are truly interested in. _ James A.

Congratulations to you and the City of Kenai Townsite Historic Task Force on the adoption of Ordinance No. 1570-93! Especially with the inclusion of the 100 acre historic district. It is heartening to see that concern for Kenai's heritage has prevailed. A basis is now established for Kenai to become a Certified Local Government (CLG). We look forward to working with the city in becoming a CLG. Once this is done, the city is eligible to receive historic preservation fund grants. These grants can be help establish design guidelines for your new ordinance, set up a local historic preservation plan, and survey and inventory historic properties. While the deadline for sending in Letters of Intent for FY94 CLG grants has passed, there is a possibility that a second round of grants may be available March 1994. If not, then Letters of Intent to apply for FY'95 CLG grants will be due in July or August 1994.

After review/rig thc proposed ordinance, I strongly endorse its adoption by tho Council. Thc City of Kena/ and other communities across the country face challenges and oppormn/ties that are uniquely dc~ned by their past and present. Your city had the foresight to appoint a task force which has done a fine and thorough job creating an ordinance to preserve an historically valuable area. With so much of Kenai's history lost, I hope that you w/Il seize this oppomm/ty to prevent fttrther destruction of your her/talgc by pass/nE tiffs ordinance. I support the townsite historic rezon/ng recommendation of either alternate one or ~o as proposed by the task force. To maintain historic integrity, a district needs to be large enough to preserve neighborhood character and protect the area from inappropriate dcvelopment. Identifying and prcscrein§ a' historic district contributes to the economic viability of the area as a whole. Economic benefits can be realized through tourism and eeono~c revitalization. With the t~l~ for~ plan in place, the ne. ja step would be to provide d~iS, n lluid,l~n¢~ ud ~p~effie ~Uuad~d~ for ~tru~¢~ within thc hi, rode district. My staff has also rev/ewed the ordinance for the C~rt/ficd Loc~ Goverr~ment (CLO) criteria. With one ~m~ll addition, the ordinance meot~ tho C'LG requgrements. The development of .a local historic preservation plan should bc included. This could bca one sentence addition m section 14.20.10.5 (c), such as "Tho Bo~d shall develop a local hi, to,cai preservation plan that will be compatible with the Alaska State H/storic Preservation Plan and produce information that is compau.'blc with the Alaska Heritage Resource Survey." Mayor Williams Pa~e 2 Unfortunately, because of a prior committmcnt lo give a workshop at the annual Alaska Historical Society meeting in Fairbanks, I will not bc able to tcstify before th~ Council at the October 6 meeting. I hope, however, that thc Council will consider ~hc Task Force's careful study of th/s issue, wtfich involved publ/c input, and their recommendat/ons.

Kllauea, }.II 96754 , RE: TSH Rezoning .I received the notice of a public hearing on 9/3/93 and cannot meet your deadline. I am sending this letter by FAX. On. 5/13/92 the planning commission recommended a rezonlng of the Townslte [fistorlc District to Central commercial using Overland Avenue as a general boundary. Their current opinion has expanded the TSH zone to Upland Street. I own four vacant lots between Overland Way and Upland Street totalling 1.31 acres. The TSH zoning has consistently thwarted any plans for development of this property. The first plan submitted by' the Commission included my property in the new cc zone. The second one put me back into the TSH zone. The area surrounding my property appears to be in a buffer zone that could go. either way in the eyes of .the Commission members. I have not seen the information gathered by the Planning and Zoning Commission or the Task Force~ that backs up their recommendations, but I do have an opinion. The current TSH zone effectively created a Berlin Wall around the area. Everyone knows this, otherwise this rezoning would' not be an issue. Last years plan was a "let's get back to business" view. This years alternate plans show a tempering due to more input apparently. would like to see some of this information prior to the october public hearing. Page 1 of 2 SEP 04'-~93- 1~,~5~ - - - N.J. Poppln I approached the Planning commission last year about the feaaiblllt.y of a cablnet shop on the property aaide from meetlnlj the design, criteria. I could not get a yes or no and lost the potential sale. At that time, I was told that the task force had discussed the possibility of purchasing the area around these lots to develop a '"Heritage Village". I have the feelln~ I'm a captive tax payer in a holding pattern with no options. Let the record show that I am in favor of the 5/13/92 rezonlng recommendation by the Planning Commission. Sincerely, .

Preservation of this area is counter productive to future Growth and development. It is also apparent that there is very little of the original village to preserve. The proposed areas w~ll only keep this part of town run down and an eyesore as the restrictions on any k~nd of development are going to keep anyone from changing or upgrading their property. We would urge the Planning and Zoning Commission and the city council to not pass this recommendation. If there was any recommended rezone that would at all be tolerable it would be that which takes in the bluff only along Mission Avenue. Alternate one, alternate two or any other rezone recommendation would be opposed by Kenai Bible Church. Sincerely, Rev. Morrison Fisher Kenai Bible Church J.W.

Freas, City Clerk Jack La Shot, City Engineer September 28, 1993 Rezone - TSH I received the attached Rezoning Application yesterday from a group of property owners within the TSH zone. They wish to rezone to CC (Central Commercial). This, of course, is part of the area involved in the current rezoning process, which Council will hold a public hearing on at the October 6, meeting. Basically, what the property owners are saying with the application is that they do not wish to remain in the TSH zone. I told their representative that I felt it would be best to let Council know of their intentions prior to the public hearing, instead of starting a separate rezone process. If the proposed new boundaries are not amended by Council to delete them from the TSH zone, they could pursue a rezone later, if they wish. Please include the application with the other information presented to Council at the October 6, meeting.

I also callod the State Department of Community & Regional Affairswho administers these grants. I have found the following information' le ,, Se e Be The CDBG program is only to be used to benefit the Iow and moderate income workers. There is an estimate of $2 million available for the whole State of Alaska. The City can request only one project, up to $200,000. The City would have to pay for 50% of the project with CDBG paying the other 50%. The City portion is to be at least 25% cash and the remaining 75% could be in-kind contribution. The City of Kenai has a 31.86% Low and Moderate Income (LMI) percentage. The City of Kenai is not eligible for a grant for a project that serves the entire community since a minimum of 51% LMI is needed. A project that targets a LMI limited clientele group could be eligible but we may have to prove the group meets income limits (for one person: Iow income = $18,650; moderate income = $27,800). A project such as a shelter for the homeless or a project for the handicap may possibly be considered eligible. The City has to mail in the "Notice of Intent to Submit a CDBA Application" card by December 31, 1993. (See DCRA letter dated December 3, 1993.) The application is due March 28, 1994. One project that I can think of which may possibly be eligible is the upgrade of City buildings to meet ADA requirements. CDBG describes a special proiect that is ..."directed to removal of material and architectural barriers which restrict elderly or handicapped persons"... ADA rofers to this group as people with disabilities. Page 2 FY 94 CDBA 12/8/93 Jack has been working with the ADA building compliance requirements. He is doing an analysis of each City owned building and any changes that may be required. Jack has given me a rough estimate of $10,000 - $20,000 for this work so the City's share would be $5,000 - $10,000. We do not have to give a cost estimate with the intent card. A project for consideration could be: "Improvements to City Owned Buildings for.People with Disabilities." Another project that you (Tom Manninen) suggested for consideration could be: "Shelter for the Homeless - Canne~ Workers." The intent to submit a CDBG application card must be submitted before December 31, 1993. If the Council is interested in a proiect we have to submit it bofore then. If the Council will give us direction as to what project, I will be happy to submit it. KK/kw STATE OF ALASKA WALTER J.

Grant applications from eligible communities are due in the Fairbanks office of the Department of Community and Regional Affairs by dose of business on March 28,1994. Awards are expected to be made in late lune of 1994. I[ ~on ptan to submit a CDBG application in response to this solicitation, you must complete, and return the attached Intent ~o Submit..a CDBG Application card by no later ~han December 31, 19~$. ! hope that you will take the time to thoroughly review the CDBG Handbook and consider how the program may be utilized in your community to expand economic opportunities.

Project Estimate - The summary is attached and I will bring a copy of the full Design Development Estimate to the meeting. Proiect Rendering - I wiil bring it to the meeting. Design Development Plans - The floor plan (reduced), is attached. I will bring the plans to the meeting. Design Development Specifications - I will bring them to the meeting. This Animal Control Shelter is very basic but structurally sound. It is not at all elaborate. It has galvanized sheet metal siding. The architect and the City have spent a lot of time on this design. It is a very operationally efficient building. The new building is designed at 3,294 SF while the old one is a little over 1,000 SF. I have also attached the Kenai Animal Control Shelter 1992 Intake record so you can get an idea of how many animals our Animal Control Officers deal with. This is just a progress report so Council will have an idea of where we are on this project. We do plan on a small brochure outlining this proiect for the legislators. Hopofully, we will obtain some funding for this badly needed building. KK/kw II 0 o ® ® ® l ii '-' ~ ~ o ~o --- o0 o ~ ,- .- o ¢~. .: ..

OF KENA~ The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) is requesting nominations for representatives to serve on a committee to advise the departmem on the use of capital improvement funds for protection and restoration of Kcnai River habitat. The 1992-93 Legislature appropriat~ from the Exxon Valdez criminal settlemem $3,000,000 for habitat restoration and enhancement projects, including acquisition of development fights or conservation easements in aquatic, wetland, and riparian areas within the Kenai River watershed from willing sellers. These projects must be related to the maintenance of commercial and sport fish species that were injured or lost as a result of the Exxon Valdez oil spill and the services they provide. Species injured in the spill include sockeye salmon, and the services injured were commercial, sport, and personal use harvest of sockeye salmon. ADF&G's, Habitat and Restoration Division has been given responsibility for adminis~~g this effort, in close coordination with ADF&G's Sport Fish and Commercial Fisheries Management and Development Divisions. The department is forming an advisory committee to provide advice and counsel as to the best use of the funds to meet the appropriation's objectives and public expirations. We are seek~g nominations to represem sport fishers, commercial fishers, small property owners, large property owners, major state and federal land managers (including thc Alaska DeparUnem of Natural Resources, Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation, U.S. Forest Service, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service), nonprofit conservation organizations, and local governments.

Williams, Mayor City of Kenai December 8, 1993 TRIP REPORT - NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES Orlando, FI ori da The 1993 (70th) session of the National League of Cities (NLC) should rate as one of the best ever held. We heard from several good speakers from government, including Robert B. Reich, Secretary, U.S. Department of Labor; Mark Shields, Political Columnist, MacNeil/Lehrer; and Janet F. Reno, Attorney General, U.S. Department of Justice. The good news from the Labor Department is the economy is improving in the Lower 48 -- I will give my thoughts on its effect to Alaska later. The bad news is the Lower 48 has become the most crime-ridden country in the industrialized world. Reno spoke extensively on this issue and how the administration is working to turn the situation around. There were a series of economic development meetings held, specifically for small cities. I attended three of four in the series. They were- 1. Wake Up -- The Rules Have Changed - Primarily the discussion centered on our old desire to push for bigger and better industries in our towns. Counter to that is the fact that in 1990, ninety percent of all U.S. businesses employed fewer than twenty people. Our push should be to switch our focus toward retaining and strengthening small businesses in our area. We are taking on small businesses here in Kenai. We need to see to it they stay. I believe the best we can do for them at the local government level is stay out of their way. They might survive if the state or federal governments don't do them in. 2. "Goals Setting Session" - This session was geared toward economic goal setting. I have written an outline for a mini-visioning and goal-setting session for council review. 3. Using Tools to Develop Your Local Economy- I felt like I should have given this class. It was a rehash of some old "tools" verbiage and should have been tuned up a little. It was good material for the newer members. -1- In addition to these three sessions, I also attended workshops on "Changing the Way Cities Work and Do Business" and "Sustainable Cities: A Strategy for Generating Jobs & Income." · hrough it all, a very important theme-seemed to develop and that was TIMES ARE A CHAN~IN~ for all of us. Small and large cities alike have to compete. NAFTA will change America one way or another and the Asian Pacific issue of economic birth in the Third World countries, especially China, is here to stay and the USA is going to have to deal with it. The wrap-up of the annual business meeting took place on Sunday. Some major changes in policy were made and approximately 24 resolutions were passed. Three of those resolutions were amended from the floor. I offered two major amendments to Resolution No. 3, "Drinking Water Revolving Loan Fund" (which Congress has proposed). My first proposed amendment was to the language so that federal programs would financially assist small communities with mandated monitoring and compliance requirements. My second proposed amendment called for direct federal construction grants for filtration and purification plants where deemed necessary to meet federal drinking water standards. I am pleased to report the National League of Cities Steering Committee accepted the amendments from the floor of the convention, without change, and the amendments passed unanimously. I will pass these along to our federal delegation as they begin work on the main bill in Congress. Who knows, we may get help yet. This concludes this portion of my report. The second part of my report deals with matters closer to home. -2- MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: DATE: RE: Councilmembers John J. Williams, Mayor City of Kenai December 8, 1993 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES WORKSHOP Throughout this past session of NLC, I kept picking up on a message that I believe Council wants to hear and see. Many small cities and towns across America are reviewing their past performance and asking, "What's next?" and "Where do we go from here?" Some of you have come to me within the last month and basically have said, "It's time for a reality check." I believe you are right on target, especially after this past week's State of Alaska economic news. To those ends, I request the Council to plan for a reality check, i.e. visioning session; futuring strategy session, or whatever else we might want to call it. Fortunately for us, our city manager has a background in this area and I have requested him to assist us in preparing for this workshop. I hope to accomplish a great deal, including future goals as well as a "reality check." I would request the resources of City Hall at all levels be made available to Council for this discussion. I believe this workshop must take place before the next budget work sessions. I believe we as a council should take the time to accomplish what needs to be done. To those ends, at the December 15 meeting I will request a date for the workshop to be sometime in February. I propose one full day, or maybe two if necessary, be considered for the workshop. I would ask the Administration to assist us, not only in preparation, but in the discussions as well. The final results of the meeting should be a written and documented five-year plan which may be updated and extended once a year, one year at a time. Attached is a list of possible topics to be discussed at the workshop. Please check either yes or no beside the topic (in the -1- space available) whether you want to discuss the particular topic. Space is also available for you to add topics you believe should be discussed. Upon your completing the form, Clerk Freas and I will review and sort your requests for inclusion on the final agenda. This process will be reviewed by the city manager as well. The agenda will be forwarded to you well in advance of the workshop date in order that you may seek out information on each topic listed for discussion. Please don't get the idea that I want us to begin to micro-manage City Hall. Most of the Council has been on board long enough to understand most of its operations. We should keep in mind our new management and the need for the city manager to be able to build a cohesive team as well as an agenda based around the desires of the Council. Please keep in mind that it has been a long time since Council has had an opportunity to really share with one another exactly what their vision for the future of Kenai really is. I have heard from nearly all of you about one thing or another that should be reviewed to determine if it is in the best interest of the City or not. So, please bear with me for a while. I would also suggeSt the meeting take place away from City Hall, perhaps the Visitors Center. The meeting of course, will be open to the public and consideration for that must be given. We can break for lunch, leaving the building, or have lunch catered, whichever you desire. Lunch away from the meeting place will afford a break for the Council will allow a break from the session, but others as well. Your comments are welcome on this matter. -2- BAD THINGS TO REMEMBER: 1. Oil revenues and production are in decline. 2.· The State financial picture is presently in-a position of chaotic flux. 3. State FY 93/94 is short $85-100 million. 4. State FY 94/95 is short $700 million to $1½ billion, depending on how the problem of the 93/94 capital budget is resolved. 5. Municipal Assistance and Revenue Sharing may soon become extinct. 6. Some Cook Inlet platforms are reaching maximum economic life. 7. One major fish processing plant has closed and near future fishing may be slow. 8. We may have some financial liabilities on the horizon from litigation in process. 9. We have a poor water quality and water production system. 10. Borough taxes have climbed steadily over the last eight years. ADD YOUR OWN BAD NEWS TO REMEMBER BELOW: -3- (~OOD THIN(~8 TO REHE,V. BER: 1.

Williams & Kenai City Council Thomas J. Manninen, City Manager~~ December 10, 1993 C~t~ Manager's Report on the N~C 70th Annual Congress of cities in Orlando, Florida I ATTENDED MY FIRST NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES CONFERENCE WITH MAYOR JOHN WILLIAMS. THE MEETIN~ W&S HELD IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA. I ATTENDED THE FOLLOWIN~ PRE-CONFERENCE SESSIONS AND HAVE HANDOUT INFORMATION AVAILABLE IN THE CITY OFFICE LIBRARY FOR THE FOLLOWIN~ SESSIONS: 1. Leaders as Coalition Builders; The Art of Coalition Building: A Guide for Community Leaders by Cherie R. Brown; 2. The Dynamics of Political Listening; Dr. SusanEllen Bacon, from Decatur, Illinois, trainer; 3. Dealing Effectively with the Media; Local Officials Guide; 4. Leadership and Power/Vision and Change; James A. Belasco. Finally, materials from the NLC conference available for Mayor/City Council/City Commissions and Committees are Raising Municipal Revenue: Reexamining the Options That Can Work for Your City by Anita J. White and David M. Griffith & Associates, LTD., Denver, Colorado. SUMMARY OF TRANSFKRAB_LE LESSONS L_~_aRNED FROM T_w_~ NLC CONF_~R~.NCE I- THE ART OF COALITION BUILDING There is a distinction between ADVOCACY and COALITION BUILDING that is critical in resolving intergroup, work place, or interpersonal conflict. The distinction is as follows: In advocacy, one works strictly to advance a favored position, to favor a cause, or to actively push for change b_~ DEFEATINO ANOTHER PERSON OR POSITION; the key in advocacy is to win at the expense of another' s loss! However, in COALITION B~ILDIN~, one must find the common agreement points among the diverse parties and accomplish together what each individual/party cannot ACCOMPLISit I~ONE. COALITION BUILDERS attempt to understand the perspectives of all parties concerned about an issue, and to create, where it is feasible, & CLII~TE OF COOPERATION. IN SUMM~RY, WHILE ADVOCATES SEEK VICTORY "WIN-LOSE"; COALITION- BUILDERS SEEK MUTUAL S]%TISF]%CTION AND SHARED VICTORY, OR A "WIN-WIN SITUATION." ]% VALUABLE LESSON IS THAT THIS "CO/%LITION-BUILDIN~" CONFLICT RESOLUTION PROCESS TAUGHT AND REINFORCED IS LISTENIN~ FOR V~LUES THAT ARE KEY TO THE OTHER PARTY' S SUCCESS, AND TO SEARCH FOR AND DEVELOP W]tYS TO LEARN WHERE THEIR V]tLUES COINCIDE WITH YOURS! IT CAN MAKE CONFLICT RESOLUTION EASIER AND MUTU/%LLY REWARDINg. The Art of Coalition Building: A Guide for Community Leaders is available in City Office Library (DPW Conference Room). It comes complete with a coalition checklist on how to get started on building constituencies, joining coalitions and mapping out coalition strategies, determining goals and building internal commitment, leadership, decision-making and managing the negotiations. It is yet another useful tool in problem-solving at the local level. I recommend its message as a rational, useful and practical guide; the alternative is strident advocacy with accomplishments leaving the various factions disenchanted and not supportive of the results. There is no "ownership" if you "lost" the advocacy struggle. In summary, available at the City Hall, City Manager's Office or the Department of Public Works Conference Room are the following brochures, pamphlets and handouts from the NLC training sessions: 1. The Art of Coalition Building 2. Dealing Effectively with the Media 3. Leadership and Power 4. The Dynamics of Political Listening 5. Raising Municipal Revenue II. RAISING MUNICIPAL REVENUE The immediate benefit is reexamining the option of raising other municipal revenue through performing an "indirect cost plan" for the City of Kenai and finding indirect costs such as fringe benefits, insurance costs, heating, square footage; costs that may be eligible to be charged/allocated to grants or to enterprise funds such as water, sewer and airport. The theory is that enterprise funds should pay for indirect services provided to them by the general fund; services such as payroll, personnel, voucher preparation, check writing, bill paying and investment of funds and other administrative services. The indirect cost plan, documents/identifies these eligible costs and allocates maximum allowable/chargeable costs. To the extent that this would exceed the City's current method of allocating indirect costs, the City general fund may pick up some revenue from enterprise funds or federal/state grants. This may be an interesting financial strategy for the City to investigate in the short term, with the imminent cuts of municipal assistance and State revenue sharing. We need to be pro-active and to plan and anticipate alternative revenue services as part of our financial plan due to the fiscal pressures at the State level. There are pitfalls to this strategy too. One being, that the more successful the City is at replacing "lost/cut" State revenues, the more likely the State will "cut-deeper" into municipal assistance revenues, so it is a double-edged sword that we are dealing with. Yet, in my opinion, to be prepared, we must investigate these alternate revenue raising options. Thank you for the opportunity to represent the City at this National League of Cities conference. I look forward to using some of the information gathered at the conference in the 1994-95 budgeting process and in my day-to-day listening and leadership opportunities as your City Manager.

I received this quote from Doors & Windows today. Some of these windows have not been able to shut for quite awhile. Some have openings that the tenants have stuffed with towels. Instead of waiting two weeks for the purchase order approval at the next Council meeting, bofore the materials can be ordered, I suggest a telephone poll of Council. I think this can be charged to the Congregate Housing Project and later deducted from Gaston's payment. It is my opinion that the windows were either installed wrong or they were built wrong. In either case, Gaston should be held responsible. KK/kw DOORS/WINDOWS UNUMITED, INC. ~824 K.B~CH ROAD.

Manninen, Manager City of Kenai 210 Fidalgo, Suite 200 Kenai, AK 99611-7794 Dear Mr. Manninen- Letter of Appreciation We would like to recognize the Airport Manager and other City of Kenai employees for successfully executing the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) during fiscal year 1993 and for effectively operating the Kenai Municipal Airport in compliance with the airport operating certificate. The Kenai Municipal Airport has served as an exemplary model for airport operations. We attribute this to the spirit of cooperation and professionalism displayed by City employees. The Airport Manager and other City personnel performing engineering and administrative support functions were always responsive to FAA's concerns and recommendations including during times of disagreement. A typical example of this occurred during the purchase of'a motor grader. This year the City of Kenai worked closely with the FAA to resolve a Buy American compliance issue in the acquisition of a motor grader funded with FAA AIP grant money. The City Engineer, Jack LaShot, worked diligently and patiently with the equipment supplier and the FAA to obtain the necessary information in clarification of legal definitions and interpretations of the Buy American requirement. We recognize that this was no easy task. Jack and other City employees worked conscientiously to reach a solution. In addition, we also would like of recognize the outstanding performance of Wince-Corthell-Bryson Consulting Engineers in accomplishment of airport design, construction management, and updates to the airport layout plan for the Kenai Municipal Airport. This was made possible through the productive relationship established by the City of Kenai with the consultant community. The end result was superior engineering services. Please convey our appreciation to Randy Ernst, Jack LaShot, Kim Howard, Kathy Viall, and Charlie Brown for a job well done. We look forward to working with all of them during the upcoming year applying the same positive and productive spirit. ~o~er A. ~ot~ko~ Manager Howard L. Smith /s~fetyAand.

We are very pleased with our many achievements and accomplishments in 1993, and deeply appreciate all who have assisted us along the way.

He thinks it may be a balancing pro~31em and we are having someone check the system out. After talking with Bob, we can only remember two incidents, or problems, with this building's heating in the last 1~/~ years. This last summer we had a problem with the air dryer and compressor that caused all of the heating valves to open. This overheated the building. You called a mechanical company who worked on it but it happened again. Bob was called 2 or 3 times after that. He fixed the problem by reducing the air pressure. While this overheating occurred 3 or 4 times throughout the summer, it was really the same problem, or incident, which Bob fixed. The second, most recent incident has nothing to do with the first. Bob thinks that the cool temperature in the foyer may be a balancing problem. Drastic or abrupt changes in thermostat settings may contribute to heating problems in this type of system. You should contact Bob before making any such changes. Attached are some additional copies of the Work Service Request I sent you on June 2, 1993. Please fill one out each time you have a maintenance request. If it is an emergency such as no heat, call Bob or me immediately, but still fill out the form so we will have a record. Thank you.

DATE COMPLETED: Building Maintenance - Work/Service Request - updated 1/23/91 Fal~inter, 1993 The goal of the Kenai Peninsula Borough Economic Development District, Inc., (EDD) is to foster economic growth by developing and implementing a borough-wide program to retain and create employ- ment and complement community and individual development lni- tiativ~. The EDD was designated as a District by the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) in 1988 and as an Alaska Re- OrganizaUon (ARDOR) in 1989. TOP OF THE TOP-- SIX!! ~' The Kenai Peninsula Borough Development District, Inc. has the recent named one of the TOP 6 develovmem districts in _ States. The U. S. Deparunent of Commerce, Economic Development Administration (EDA), funds 293 districts. The Clinton Administration reque~ each regional office to list their top districts. "Performance by the Board of ')~Directors and staff of the Kenai Peninsula Borough ·"Economic Development District in the State of Alaska serves as a model of organization, planning and execution as an outstanding economic development district program," said John D. Woodward, Seattle Regional Director, EDA. EDD Wins NationalAward Also, in recognition of EDD's involvement with local shellfish growers, the National Association of Development Organizations (NADO) has awarded a National Innovation Award to EDD. EDD has brought together individual growers, state agencies, and local participants to demonstrate a cold water oyster nursery system. This project is providing valuable information for the Kachemak Bay area and other waters of Alaska. EDD Executive Director Start Ste, adman said, "This national award gives us viability. With this kind of reco~- tion, our position is strengthened in seeking participation in the program from federal, sate and private funding re- sources." James Elson, EDD Chairman, attended the annual NADO meeting in San Antonio, Texas, where he accepted the award and conducteA a session on the shellfish project. VOLCANOES ARE BIG DRAW Promoters of the Kenai Peninsula's "shopping mall" visitor attractions are aggressively working to establish new "anchor stores" to add to the already magnificient visitor attractions found in the area. Peninsula citizen groups and agencies have been pushing hard for the Alaska Sealife Center in Seward and the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Interpretive Center in Homer. Now, the EDD and the Kenai Peninsula Tourism Marketing Council have joined together to facilitate the work of a task force composed of citizen and business groups, cor- porations, and government agencies to 'plan, promote and es- tablish a world-class volcano and natural forces (i.e. earth quakes, tsunamis) interpretive center." Thousands of visitors each year stop to gaze in awe at the display of four active volcanoes on the west side of Cook Inlet which can be seen from roadside turnouts between Ninilchik and Anchor Point. The initial concept of this project is to combine the interests in natural forces education and research with a visitor center located somewhere between Ninilchik and Anchor Point. ENHANCING KNOWLEDGE OF BOROUGH ECONOMY With the ever increasing burden being put upon local governments to pay for programs and make decisions which will effect the lifestyle futures of their residents, current and projected economic and demographic information is becom- ing an important element in making decisions. In the past EDD has focused on historical data in the Situation and Prospects_ (S&P) document. Recognizing a need to gather, decipher, and analyze current and expected situations, the EDD and Borough staff are working toward providing policy-making entities with as much information as possible through a new and enhanced S&P'effort. SISTER RELATIONSHIPS OPEN WORLD of POSSIBILITIES HEALTH CARE PROJECT HEA S FROM VOTERS Sister government relationships are seen by experts as a key to opening up international wade oppommities. With this in mind, municipal governments in the Kenai Peninmfla Borough have been particularly aggressive in estab~g sister relationships in Russia and Japan. In 1992, the EDD participated with the Borough Mayor's office in a visit to and the initiation of a sister govemment relationship with the city of Akita, Japan. Akita is a city of approximately 300,000 residents on the northern tip of Honshu Island. While the population far exceeds that of the Borough, the areas share common industries. One initial focus for exchange, a joint re~ project involving fisheries experts from both areas, has been de- signed to see if Pacific Sandfish, a non-commercial fish found in Alaska waters, can be caught and exported to Akita where its cousin, the Japanese Sandfish, is in high demand. Other recent activities involve student and business/govern- ment official exchanges. EDD working with American Russian Center , , Also, through its Business Development Program, the EDD is working with the American Russian Center in Anchorage to upscale sister relationships which now exist between K~nai Peninsula murdcipalities and Russian commu~ nities, regions, and institutions. Targeted areas are the City of Okha on northern Sakhalin Island, the Ulchsky Region (Bogorodskoe), and the City of Magadan, OUTLOOK FORUM '93 At the invitation of Borough Mayor Don Gilman, involved citizens from all over the Borough in October took pan in a strategic planning p~s focusing on the direction Borough govemment should be taking. Borough staff started the session by explaining the currem planning, financial, and tax base structure of the Borough and how the future might look if current trends were to continue. Recogl~zed major industry leaders of the borough (oil and gas, commercial fishing, tourism and timber) gave a prospectus on the future for each of these industries. Working groups were then asked, "What do you.want as a personal way of life?" "What should the role of Borough government be?" and "How do you see this being accomplished?" Group findings will be compiled for the Mayor's response. Begiming in January, 1992, the thirty-member Health Care Advisory Council worked on research, design, and public education of a borough-wide health care plan. The voters got their chance in Oc~ber to decide whether to grant the Borough health care powers necessary to move for- ward in planning and implemenfion. The measure was de- feated by 61% to 39%. The loss at the polls was atu/but~ to confusion over President Clinwn's health plan and the voter's unwillingness to expand on governmental powers. Under the direction of the EDD Board of Directors, on November 17, staff met with former Health Council members and other interested people to explore new options. Proposals from the group included forming a health coalition through the EDD With a bwader mandate to accomplish local reform than the Advisory Council dealt with. The disposi- tion of the group ~as to focus efforts through existing health organizations and the private sector. The driving forces for EDD's involvement include small businesses' inability to afford employee insurance, the export of millions of dollars out of the region in the form of premiums, and the under utilization of local health care facilities resulting in a loss of jobs and higher costs.

Substantial interest in the study was shown by the number of people attending - about 2.5 in Anchorage and 45 in Soldotna. furore as the study pro~. There was a good exchange of ideas at each meeting on a variety of topics, including study scope, methodology, accounting stance, and other areas. There was a wide range of opinions about the geographic scope of the study. Fish stocks and places mentioned by particitmnts included stocks from the Kenai River, Susima River, Cook Inlet marine waters, and the Kodiak area marine waters. The potential need to narrow the geographic scope due to limited funding levels was discussed. There was substan~ interest in the methodologies that might be used for evaluating commercial and si)on fisheries. There was concern expre~~ about the validity of some theoretical constructs (such as consumer surplus and marginal psychic benefits) and the validity of measurements from user survey techniques. · There also was discussion of the accounting stance used to assess values. The discussion of accounting stance suggested that an Alaskan accounting stance might be more appropriate than a National accounting stance. Other accounting stances that might be useful, such as the Borough and specific user groups, were also discussed. 11-K I OLH Page Two Dec~mber 1, 1993 One set of issues raised involved habitat. Some discussion occ~ on whether the study should evaluate econOmic impacts on fish population levels due to factors related to habitat change.

Jr. Excerpts from President Clinton's remarks to the awards assembly follow: DEC 19 . Clinton greets Allstate Insurance Co. Chairman and CEO Wayne Hedien at Rose Garden ceremony. Whenever I am with a group from our nation's smaller cities and towns, I feel at home. But I'm especially glad to be here, because one of the cities represented today is my previous home town of Little Rock, Arkansas, and I'm glad to see former Mayor Sharon Priest and current Mayor Lottie Shackleford of the City of Little Rock, as well as Congressman Thornton. Many other friends are here, representing cities that won the All-America City Award in 1992 and 1993. "Before he became the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Henry Cisneros was Chairman of the National Civic League. As we recognize the League today for its All-America City Award Program, I'd also like to thank that group for generously surrendering Mr. Cisneros to the Administration. "Last week the Vice President and I announced how we want to change the way our national government works, and how it works with state and local governments, to encourage more of the kinds of successes we salute today. We believe that if we can streamline federal grant programs so that mayors can worry more about what works for their commu- nities than what works for grant adminis- trators in the federal bureaucracy, our country will work better and we'll get more for our tax dollars. We believe that by cutting paperwork we'll get aid to the local level more quickly and save the taxpayers money at the same time. "I also want to commend our mayors for their struggle to provide health care to the citizens of our cities in spite of the barriers to access, in spite of skyrocket- ing costs, in spite of under-funded health clinics and overtaxed institutions, and in spite of the lack of leadership from Washington for quite a long time. "With the mayors' help, we can bring about comprehensive, affordable health care for all Americans, and free-up more of our strapped state and local budgets to invest in jobs and growth and opportunity for our people. "I want now to congratulate the mayors and the delegations from each of our All-America Cities. This prestigious award recognizes America's heroes who have taken responsibility for their communities, who form pannerships among citizens, local government and private businesses to ensure that we meet the urgent needs of our people and open new opportunities to our neighbors." "We must impress upon the people who live and work here in Washington -- not just the United States Congress, but also the people who run all these federal departments -- that we don't have a day to waste. Residents of All- America Cities see every day what can happen when communities do something right. You also see the enormous consequences of continued neglect, of continuing to do things the way they have always been done." "We have work to do. We need your help. Bring your ideas, your innovation and your energy back to Washington and give us a chance to do it. Thank you very much." NATIONAL CNIC LEAGUE OFFICERS Chairman: Hon. William F.

Convenes C0nfe'rence on "Citistates" On October 15 and 16, seventy delegates representing a dozen metropolitan areas from across the U.S. met in Washington D.C. at the invitation of the National Civic League, the National Academy for Public Administration (NAPA) and the National Association of Regional Councils (NARC) tO explore the concept of "citistates." In their book by that name, authors Neal Peirce, Curtis Johnson and John Stuart Hall define the citistate as "a region consisting of one or more historic center cities surrounded by cities and towns which have a shared identification; function as a single zone for trade, commerce and communications; and are characterized by social, economic and environmental interdependence." COmpetitiveness Drives Citistates USC Professor John Kirlin told conferees that "in the 1960s the regional- ism debate was about services, today it's about economic competitiveness and environmental quality." Conference delegates readily agreed that the glue binding communities of a citistate together is global economic competitive- ness, based on the quality of life regions can offer to attract increasingly footloose international corporations and entrepre- neurs. While global economic restructuring may bring the communities of regions closer together, issues of social equity and fiscal disparity are just as rapidly pulling them apart. The pressing issue addressed by conferees was how to govern citistates m a challenge involving nothing short of effectively combining economic, social and environmental policies at a regional scale. Walter Rostow of the University of Texas offered the challenge of operationally linking regional organizations with the problems of the central city. The most important efforts at metropolitan governance are occurring at the grass roots within regions. Neverthe- less, it is essential that state and federal policies be formulated to enhance the governance of citistates. Despite the important precedent established by ISTEA (the new surface transportation act), current policies too often, if inad- vertently, favor the fragmentation of regions. Effective governance of citistates cannot be achieved by the public sector alone, regardless of how effectively it is coordinated. It requires the active participation of parallel coalitions in the private and nonprofit sectors. Mary ~ Ellen Mazey of Wright State University suggests competitive regions in the global economy will be those with the capacity for effective "civic collabora tion." A major challenge to such collabo- ration consists of re-engaging major corporations whose multinational structure threatens to reduce their local civic involvement. Most regions are still a long way from having adequate capacity and coordination among the sectors. One of the most pressing needs is to create forums and processes for convening and building consensus among sectors across regions. Many of our most pressing problems simultaneously operate at both the neighborhood and regional levels. Both levels must be engaged in attempting to effectively deal with such issues as the concentration and social isolation of the urban underclass, or establishing a more rational relationship between jobs and housing. Building effective regional governance requires development of more capacity for decision making and action at both levels. From Neighborhood to Region Ironically, while there is often political resistance to regionalism because it is perceived as creating another layer of government, building the relationship between regional and community governance may provide a more acceptable approach. Mark Pisano, executive director of the Southern California Association of Governments, explained how SCAG has restructured its representation to achieve a more effective balance of these two levels of interest. At the conference wrap-up, ~^P^ president Scott Fosler focused on next steps. Delegates expressed a need for case studies of best practices structured around specific problems, such as reverse commuting to link inner-city labor with suburban jobs, fair-share allocation of LULUs, and tax-base sharing to address problems of uneven development. Sharing Power to Build Regional Trust There was general recognition of the need to mobilize citizens and elected officials at all levels of government around creating policies that reinforce the operation of citistates. Such mobiliZation will require willingness to share power in order to build trust, thus reinforcing the perception that "we're all in it togethe: For more information on the ...

A PUBLICATION OF THE NATIONAL CIVIC LEAGUE OCCASIONALLY FEATURED IN CIVIC ACTION EDITORS: LAURIE HIRSCHFELD ZELLER AND DAVID LAMPE Distressed cities increasingly bank on casino gambling In an era of tight govemmental budgets, communities across the United States are turning to small-stakes casino gambling as a means of raising cash. Gambling is viewed as a solution, to general economic ills, but one with a range of unexpected civic and social consequences. During the 1980s gambling became attractive to cities whose economies were deteriorating and whose citizens were frustrated with increasing property taxes and service fees. The earmarking of state lottery funds for education and parks helped to diminish the stigma that was often associated with gambling in Las Vegas and Atlantic City. In 1989, Ameri- 'Indian reservations across thc country were authorized to open casinos, and South Dakota voters approved casino gam- bling for the small town of Deadwood. By 1992, casino gambling was up-and-running in three Colorado mountain towns, one-half of the 280 American Indian reservations, and on river boats in Iowa, Illinois, Missis- sippi and Louisiana. Today, forms of casino gambling exist in Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecti- cut, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missis- sippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, South Dakota, Washington State, and Wisconsin. Signs of Success Three years after its introduction in Deadwood, officials are declaring success. The city has collected $5 million in new taxes and restored many of its old buildings. The Colorado mountain towns of Black Hawk, Central City and Cripple Creek are experiencing an economic boom reminiscent of their early gold rush days. After one year the three towns witnessed $20 million in new revenue from gaming taxes, licenses and application tees. American Indian reserva- tions are benefiting the most from legalized gambling. Reservations, once plagued by high unemployment levels, are witnessing a sharp increase in new jobs. The combined gambling revenue of American Indian reservations is over $1 billion annually. Social and Economic Costs But the impressive revenue increases and economic booms are proving less profitable than many had envisioned. Cities are finding the size and scope of gambling difficult to control. Large casinos are gaining leverage and demanding concessions from local govern- ments as profits begin to level off from initial boom highs. The civic, social and physical costs of gambling also can run high. Charles McLean, President of Casino Free Future Inc. in Colorado, described how "gambling brings all the impacts of boom development with none of the benefits. It strains the very fabric of a community's ability to manage its problems -- from infrastructure repairs and upgrades to the provision of social services." In Atlantic City, which has had high-stakes casino gambling since 1976, gambling has largely failed in achieving the objectives of job growth for local residents and city-wide economic development. Time magazine labeled the city the "boardwalk of broken dreams." In its Editorial Research Repons, Congressional Quarterly observed that the majority of Atlantic City's patrons are "day- trippers" from New York and Washington who rarely venture beyond the casinos and the boardwalk into the "tawdry downtown area." The city's population has decreased rather than increased, as expected., due to increased property values and rents. Between 1977 and 1980, the city's population decreased 5.8 percent and between 1980 and 1990, it decreased further, by 5.5 percent. Fort Madison, Iowa borrowed $2.6 million to build a ticket center, a pedestrian bridge and a new dock for the Emerald Lady river boat. After a year, the Emerald Lady and three other casino river boats left the state for Mississippi, where gaming laws were more liberal. In Colorado, residents of the three gambling towns are complaining about increased traffic, crime and noise and air pollution. Many small busi- nesses and residents have been driven out by higher rents and property taxes. Proponents initially argued that gambling would provide funds to restore old buildings, but the National Park Service recently placed all three towns on its list of most endangered historic landmarks, due to demolition of old buildings and new construction. Central City also expected to use some of the new revenues to redress a $400,000 water-supply problem, but as a result of rapid expansion it will cost the city $110 million to upgrade and repair the strained system. Criticism Abounds Typical anti-gambling complaints include: it is an unreliable revenue source; residents and businesses are forced to move; because many low-income people are attracted to gambling, it is a "regressive tax"; the enivronmental costs are too high in mountain areas, riverfronts and historic down- towns; and the social costs are too high (compulsive gambling and increased crime and prostitution). Some critics claim that gambling does little more than shift consumer spending from other forms of recreation, and thus does not create wealth. Despite initial success, some experts argue that the market is reaching a saturation point and cities and towns are beginning to compete with each other for patrons and operators. This in turn will make gambling far less lucrative than it was three years ago and cities will have to accept lower gambling revenues or find other alterna- tives for economic development. RR Commentary: Com- munities must understand the potential impact of gambling before adopting it. The financial benefits are not achieved without some costs. Here are some questions a community considering legalized gambling might ask itself: · What exactly do we want to achieve with gambling? · What kind of city do we want in 25 years? · Is this merely a short-term fix? -- What other strategic alternatives exist? · Are we prepared to control the social implications of gambling, let alone regulate the activity? · What new infrastructure costs should we expect? · If we choose gambling and it fails, how do we get out of it? m What are our exit costs?

Summer '93 REVIEW Debates Communitarian Movemep* Spearheaded by respected scholars, theorists and policy aides, the communi- tarian movement advocates a more practical balancing of fundamental rights with responsibilities to community. Apart from its ambitious mission to influence mainstream policy debate, the communitarian movement also seeks to raise the moral tenor of our public dialogue with an emphasis on responsi- bility, family, self-restraint, and commu- nity service. As the Summer 1993 issue of the NATIONAL CIVIC REVIEW reports, Commu- nitarians advocate a voluntary subordina- tion of individual wants and needs to the broader community good. Skeptics, however, criticize that this implies a frontal assault on individual civil rights, particularly when communitarians attribute many of our social ills to the American penchant for framing policy debates in the context of personal entitlement. Symposium feature articles include the following: · "The Promise of Com- munitariansim," by William Galston. The liberal/conservative duality of our political system and process for too long has stalled constructive debate of meaningful social and systemic reform. By combining progressive thinking with traditional values of community commit- ment, the communitarian movement may well catalyze the conversations necessary for achieving constructive change. · "Is Bill Clinton A Communitar- lan?," by Amitai Etzioni. Whether or not Bill Clinton adheres strongly to communitarian values, the power of the bully pulpit is limited to mild persuasion. Improvement of the moral, social and political environment of the United States will occur only as citizens accept social responsibility and express through behaviors the values they hold high. · "A Communitarian Approach to Local Governance," by Elinor Ostrom. Citizenship has for too long been confined to voting and consumption of public services. A more collaborative and functional model -- and indeed, the only one suitable for the critical chal- lenges confronting America's communi- ties w emphasizes horizontal, two-way relationships among the various partici- pants in the community governance process. · "The Failure of Traditional Politics," by David Chrislip. Respon- sive, caring communities are not the products of individual practices alone. All the good conversations and all the well meaning collaboration will be of little effect without fundamental reform of our governing institutions and political system, which currently are fashioned to serve the objectives of well funded and organized interest groups. · "The Communitarian Cop-Out," by Samuel Walker. One foundation of democratic self-government is public debate and discussion of issues, including rights and the occasional expansion or re- interpretation of rights. By calling for a diminution of civil rights advocacy, communitarians undermine an essential feature of our democracy, as well as a movement that has extended full mem- bership in our society to traditionally excluded groups. In addition to the symposium feature articles summarized above, the Summer 1993 issue of the NATIONAL CIVIC REVIEW features an article by Michael Vasu and Andy Fraizer on the need for a national human resource policy in the United States. "Work Force Preparedness and Future Economic Development: The North Carolina Case" argues that the nation's standard of living depends on the ability of the U.S. work force to raise its productivity in an increasingly competitive global economic environ- ment. Departments Among the departments i~ncluded in the Summer 1993 issue of the REVIEW are News in l~vmw, Proportional Represen- tation, Metro and Regional Governance, Citizen Democracy, Public Finance, "The Reform Report," and Book Reviews. The Citizen Democracy section features an essay by Michael Briand of the Kettering Foundation on a a new ap- 'proach to small-group, participatory democracy. The Metro and Regional Governance department carries an analysis of the political and practical factors contributing to city-city consoli- dations during the 1970s and 1980s.

Swisher, Executive Director ABOUT: RAID ON REVENUE SHARING AND MUNICIPAL ASSISTANCE . · Governor Hickel fired the opening gun in the 1904 baffle of revenue sharing today with the release of a budget proposal that would cut both the State Revenue Sharing and Municipal/~sistanc~ programs by nearly 50 peroent. Senior citizen tax relief subsidy funds would be cut entirely. The impact of these formula reductions on local government i~ over. $$8 million. ~tate agen~t operating funds will increase by some $6.5 million at the same time. The budget proposal also contemplates a series-of tax increases. Gasoline taxes, fish tax, "~in" taxes, and a new school t~ would' be added this year (FY95}, with an income tax to follow next year (FY96) and capping of the Permanent Fund dividends in the year after that. INhen all of these chang~ ~"e in plae~ the state will be looking at over $700 million in new revenues annually. RIGHT NOW IS THE TIME TO LET YOUR LEGISLATORS KNOW THAT YOUR COMMUNi'i'~ CANNOT LIVE WITH (CANNOT UVE THROUGH?) THE PROPOSED CUTS. THESE CUTS MEAN AN AVERAGE $68.85+ PER CAPITA LOSS TO MUNIClPAMTIES STATEWIDE, WiTH THE IMPACT ON INDIVIDUAL CITIES AND BOROUGHS RANGING FROM A LOW OF 11 PERCENT TO A HIGH OF OVER 58 PERCENT, DEPENDING ON THE FORMULAS. The League recognizes that the state has major financial problems, but they can't be solved at the municipalities' expense. Local government has already given up r' half of its Revenue Sha ~ng and Municipal Assistance dollars since 1985 - that's enough. Its time to look elsewhere for money to balance the state's budget. This message needs to be conveyed to your legislators in the next few days - before too many plans have been made based on funds to be available as a result in reduction of support for local government. Call, write, or make a personal contact - bUt do let your legislator know that the Govemor's budget proposal is not acceptable to your community. AML has printouts of what each municipality would get under the proposed 50 percent cut scenario. Please call if you want mo,~e information.
