Springer, Building Official DATE: May 3, 1995 SUBJECT: 306 Kulila Avenue Barbara Waters contacted me in July, 1994, regarding the above referenced property, complaining of insulation blowing into her yard. She asked if the city could clean this lot up. I drove by the lot at this time and noted it was not unlike many lots in the city, with various debris scattered throughout it. I contacted the owner of the property, Marlene Dean, in a letter dated 7/14/94, requesting she clean this property up. Ms. Dean sent a letter to me in August, 1994, and explained that Steve Howell was hired to remove a mobile home and clean up the lot, which all he had done was remove the mobile home. Ms. Dean has not since been able to contact Mr. Howell for further action. Ms. Dean also indicated she did not have the finances to have the lot cleaned up and she owed taxes for which the Borough would be foreclosing on. Barbara Waters contacted me again on April 14, 1995 to complain about the hazard a boat (located on the property) poses to the local children that play in and around it. Ms. Waters wanted the city to do something about it. I indicated to her that since the boat was not a building, there was not much I could do about it. She then told me she would go to the City Council to request that something be done. I spoke with Cary Graves about this matter and he indicated the property is on a list of properties to be foreclosed on for lack of taxes, and we might wait until the city receives clear title to the property, then remove the boat and clean up the debris. He also indicated DOT may be required to move the boat, according to Alaska Statutes, but we might get a price to move the boat and location to store it until it can be disposed of. I checked with Snug Harbor Seafoods and they gave me an estimate of approximately $350.00 to move the boat to the city yard. Marlene Dean came in to see me on May 1, 1995 to find out what the city intended to do. I explained to her that a neighbor was going before Council to request something be done to move the boat and clean up the lot, since they feel it is a hazard to neighborhood children. Ms. Dean said she did not have the finances to clean the lot up and that children should not be on the property anyway. She also stated the boat is her ex- husbands and he refuses to move it. Page 2 306 Kulila Ave. 5/3/95 I told her that when the city receives title to the property we would probably remove the boat and clean up the property and add the cost to the back taxes. My personal observation is: Ms. Dean is an elderly handicapped lady who is not physically or financially capable of cleaning up this property. Obviously the neighbors in the area do not wish to enter onto private property to clean it up, just as the city should not either, but they do allow their children to enter onto private property to play. When the property is the City of Kenai's we should clean it up to avoid a liability problem.

There is no fence around this property. A large boat, the "Leila Marie", sits about center of the lot. It is resting on 4 x 4 cribbing and 55 gallon drums. It appears stable, but the soft ground is allowing it to settle. It is difficult to board the boat, but possible and it is easy to get underneath of it. I have not located an owner yet. A car (Lic.#BDR431 - last registered owner: Barbara A. Reynolds, 1003 Chugiak Ave. #45, Anchorage) sits behind the boat. It is missing some tires, but its doors are closed and windows intact. Debris on the lot appears to have been piled in a couple of spots. There are wheels, tires, trash, boards with nails in them, 55 gallon drums (most are empty), small propane tanks (empty) and partly empty 5 gallon buckets (unknown what's in them). Several 55 gallon drums are upright and contain trash and car batteries. Most are filled with rusty water. An old water well has been covered with 2 x 6's nailed over it and appears to be secure. The shed is in poor shape, with its roof very weak and part of it missing. There are car axles on the roof. A ladder is nailed to the side of the shed, allowing access to the roof. There is no operable door on the shed. It contains clothing and trash, boards and nails, concrete blocks, insulation, electrical parts and a romex wire and light fixture. I could not find any power sources. The floor of the shed appears to have had some kind of fluid spilled on it, soaking several areas of the floor. The photos I took and Ms. Waters diagram are attached. I have logged my photos on it. IOOHOS _ Elaam - - i'dN311 H3NNli 0 Z Z W �. T :D Q 0 00, } J W N U OLL LO C 0!

Councilmember Bannock requested permission to abstain because he works for Craycroft Chrysler. Mayor Williams accepted his abstention. Councilmember Measles stated that he was a little upset by the fact that we are only 20 days into the new budget year and we are already being asked to transfer almost $10,000 out of contingency to cover a budgeted item. He asked why this wasn't thought of during budget time. Manninen stated that the original spec was not to include the plow, but the truck that was purchased required a different plow. Measles asked if when the item was budgeted there was a pre- conceived notion as to make, model and type of vehicle it was going to be. Manninen said no, only that the plow would be re -used. The difference is that the flatbed truck and the crane weren't anticipated. He now feels that in the long run the crane will benefit the City.

In each of our previous letters, as in this one, we remain in opposition to approval of the Richka Park Estates Plat as currently submitted. By way of brief review, our position is that while a property owner has a right to profit from his / her investment, that person does not have the right to create a nuisance. In this case that nuisance is increased noise from nearby airport operations. We add that if this noise does not continue naturally abated by the existing vegetative barrier, it will be necessary to do so by structural means, at the airport site, at a cost to the City of Kenai probably in excess of the value of the property being developed. As to the newly submitted plat of the Richka Subdivision, we call your specific attention to what is shown as a narrow access to Lots 8 and 9 of Block 5 (erroneously identified as a street in our letter of 3/27/95). The dimension of this access is not shown, but appears to be 30 feet wide, or less, until it reaches Lot 8 and half that width for the remainder of its length to serve Lot 9. From the experience of many years of clearing snow , I will vouch that there is no way that Lot 9 can maintain its access to the public highway without committing some kind of trespass in snow removal. Drainage of the access strip is questionable. In our opinion, approval of such limited access can only lead to trouble. Respectfully submitted. �- Gecige C.

STAFF REPORT: Jack La Shot had nothing to add to the staff report, which stated this was a simple lot split. The parties have asked for an exception from width/depth ratio requirements. The city had no objection to the plat. PUBLIC COMMENT: None. DISCUSSION: Phil Bryson noted that the plat encompassed an area that approximately two years ago there was a request for a vacation of the right-of-way (ROW). The request was for both sides of the City limit side. The Borough and City approved the vacation but the State denied the vacation. The 33' patent easement is common with the plat's alignment. Chairman Walker noted the applicant had contacted Staff earlier in the day, indicating that she wished the name of the plat to be Cannery Row. The Commission asked that the Borough be consulted as to the name change. VOTE: BRYSON GOECKE GLICK MAHURIN TOPPA WERNER- QUADE WALKER YES YES ABSENT YES ABSENT YES YES MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Planning & Zoning Commission April 12, 1995 Page 2 b. Resolution PZ 95-14: Richka Park Estates (* Commissioner Phil Bryson abstained from this item as his firm was working on the project). Chairman Walker noted this item had been tabled at the previous meeting due to the lack of a quorum vote. He entertained a motion to bring the item back to the table for action. MOTION: Karen Mahurin MOVED to bring Resolution PZ 95-14: Richka Park Estates back to the table for action. Ron Goecke SECONDED. Chairman Walker asked Loretta Harvey to read an item into the record which was received earlier that day. Loretta Harvey read the letter from Kristine Schmidt, 513 Ash (see attached). Ms. Schmidt was opposed to the plat and rezoning of Richka Park Estates. Schmidt asked that the following restrictions be placed on the rezoning and plat: 1. the lots be at least as large or larger than adjacent (Part 1) Woodland subdivision lots. 2. the buildings be limited to single family residences; 3. that trees left standing which are within at least 25 feet of the lot lines; and 4. alternative access roads, besides Beech Circle and the end of Birch Street, be built. 5. The Commission should also require that lots 6.7 and 8 of the development on the west side of Richka Creek be deleted or the subdivision reconfigured, since in their current configuration they would be 50% fill rather than actually existing land. 6. The Commission should also require that lots 1, and 4-16 on the east side of Richka Creek be deleted, or the subdivision reconfigured, because these lots would be 50% fill, rather than existing land. Planning & Zoning Commission April 12, 1995 Page 3 PUBLIC COMMENT: John Moore, 418 Birch Street, said he lived at the end of Birch and his property directly joins 5th Avenue. He was concerned for the safety of the children due to the construction which is presently going on in the area. He said the city has demonstrated throughout the winter they cannot maintain the street. The Fire Department pushes the snow from the fire hydrant into his yard. He felt the city was taking on a task that would increase his tax burden. He was opposed to the subdivision. Sherry McBride, 1111 5th Avenue, said she lives on the property behind the proposed subdivision. She felt that 5th Avenue could not handle the additional burden of this subdivision. Also the heavy equipment is blocking her driveway and posing a danger to neighborhood children. Since the developer started clearing the trees her children have been chased by moose several times. She was not opposed to the subdivision but felt it needed to be accessed from another route besides 5th Avenue, such as Floatplane Road. Raphael Moore, 415 Birch Avenue, said his main concern was for the children of the area. He also felt that his property values would decrease due to cutting the trees in the area. Moore had heard that the developer has tried to put similar developments in other areas and the people told him to get lost. He urged the Commission to treat the residents of Woodland as they would want to be treated. Kathy King, 601 Maple Drive, she felt this was a totally unacceptable and inappropriate, and would not be consistent with the development presently in Woodland. It would add a tax burden to the area. Also, the increased traffic on Forest Drive would be a big problem, and would be a safety issue for neighborhood children. She asked the Commission to take the plat back to the drawing board until it meets the quality of fife the taxpayers want. Warren 'Buddy" Skinner, 608 Maple Drive, suggested if the developer couldn't be stopped that the zone be restricted to a single-family development. He said the noise from the airport was bad now, if more trees are cut it will just get worse. Right now Woodland has strict covenants. He would like to see the developer adopt the same rules. He felt that the resale value of his house would go down. Also, paved curb and gutter should be a requirement. Nobuo Tsukada, 606 Maple Drive, was opposed to the subdivision. His concerns were the increased noise level from the airport, increasing traffic and the devaluation of his property. Planning & Zoning Commission April 12, 1995 Page 4 Michael Christian, 613 Maple Drive, regarding the plat on the east side, his concern was the access to the subdivision. He did not feel the present street could support traffic to 34 new houses. Also, 5th street would be narrower than standard streets. Floatplane Road would be an excellent access to the subdivision. Cliff Baker, Integrity Surveys, 605 Swires, said the developer will extend 5th avenue to Floatplane Road as discussed at the previous meeting. This would provide two accesses to the subdivision. He offered to answer questions regarding the plat. Sherry McBride, (from the audience) asked if the developer would pave Float Plane Road from the extension to 5th avenue? Cliff Baker, said he did not feel that paving Float Plane Road and 5th Avenue, was the developer's responsibility. All streets within the subdivision will be paved. There's been a comment to provide an alternate access to the subdivision, if Birch is the only street that's paved to this property, no matter where the alternate access is provided, Birch is the only paved street. Even if access is provided off Floatplane Road, subdividers should not be required to pave access streets. Gus Rodes, (from the audience) asked if the subdivision would have sidewalks and curb and gutter? Cliff Baker, replied that the zoning requirements east of the ravine (RR) would not require curb and gutter, etc. On the west side of the ravine (RS) would require curb and gutter, etc. Gus Rodes, asked where utility lines will be run to the subdivision, he noted the plat does not show these utilities. Cliff Baker, responded that water and sewer will be along the centerline of the road. The front ten feet adjacent to the ROW will be reserved for utility easements. The normal practice for subdivisions is that the water and sewer is within the 60 foot ROW, and the power and the gas is usually outside the ROW along the utility easements. The plat does not have to show utilities, easements are already provided within the ROW. Gus Rodes, noted on the west side of the proposed subdivision there is a 20' drop into the gully, are there plans for erosion control? Cliff Baker, said he thought the drop was closer to 50'. The individual lot developers will need to address this problem. The developer will attempt to retain as much of the natural vegetation as possible, which will provide good erosion control. Planning & Zoning Commission April 12, 1995 Page 5 Gus Rodes, suggested the road dead-end on Birch with access only off Float Plane Road. The subdivision should be blocked off at Birch. Cliff Baker, noted this would create a problem for the residents. In case of fire, etc. two accesses should be provided. Also, the water and sewer is at 5th street, not Floatplane Basin Road. This is also a natural extension of Birch Street. Gus Rodes, 207 Birch Street, said the way the subdivision plat is laid out, on the east side off of Birch Street, it shows a dog leg off the street. This dog leg is to provide more lots in the subdivision. However, there are problems with the large amount of traffic this subdivision will bring into the neighborhood. There has been no indication of how much the new homes will cost. Rodes did not feel it would be an undue expense or hardship for the developer to pave 1,000 feet of Floatplane Road. Also, this plat doesn't contain enough details to tell what's going on. Also can the city's water and sewer system handle the additional burden to the system. Teea McBride, 1111 5th Avenue, reported that her friends like to ride their snowmachines through the access on 5th Avenue. They can't now due to the heavy equipment there. She said she and her brother can't walk to the bus stop because the moose are chasing them, and her parents can't sleep because of the noise of the developers. They take naps in the afternoon. Cliff Baker, commented that the dog leg for continuation of Birch Avenue had to be platted this way, due to natural development constraints. The ravine cuts across at an angle, they had to dog leg the road to keep it from going into the ravine. Chairman Walker asked if there were others who wished to comment on this item? Seeing and hearing none he brought the item back to the Commission for discussion. DISCUSSION: Karen Mahurin, thanked the people who testified. Mahurin said she also was effected by cutting down of the trees, and snow machining and walking her dog in that area. She had several concerns. She said she understood that a person can develop their personal property in a manner consistent with the zoning designation in that area. Mahurin asked if the Commission had the right for a reconfiguration of the plat to address concems of the public. Planning & Zoning Commission April 12, 1995 Page 6 Mahurin felt the comments about tha natural vegetation and the noise buffer were important. Concerned about a high populace area, bringing in fill, and traffic on Birch Street and Forest Drive. She said she had a lot of concerns and felt she would have to vote no on the plat. She would like to see the plat come back to the Commission after concerns have been addressed. Ron Goecke, said he was concerned about the 25' easement along the McBride property. He asked staff whether the easement had been vacated. Jack La Shot, said he had not researched the item, but it was his understanding that 8' of the easement was vacated to alleviate an encroachment by a house on 5th. It still leaves 25' south of centerline and 30' north. With this dedication it would leave 55'. This is narrower then the city likes, but is still wider than some ROWS in the city., Ron Goecke, wanted clarified that there would only be a 25' south of centerline through there. Jack La Shot, said that was correct, along the northerly portion of that lot. Teresa Werner-Quade, noted there had been few issues during her tenure on the Commission, which had created such huge public response. She felt it was the Commission's duty to listen to the public and said she could not vote in favor of the plat in good conscience. Chairman Walker asked if there were any proposed amendments. Seeing and hearing none Walker called for the question. VOTE: BRYSON GOECKE GLICK MAHURIN TOPPA WERNER- OUADE WALKER ABSTAIN NO ABSENT NO ABSENT NO NO MOTION FAILED. ONE ABSTENTION. 6. PUBLIC HEARINGS C. Resolution PZ 95-16: Variance - Kluge MOTION: Ron Goecke MOVED for approval of Resolution PZ 95-16. Teresa Werner-Quade Planning & Zoning Commission April 12, 1995 Page 7 SECONDED. STAFF REPORT: Jack La Shot reported this permit would allow a 3' (12' remains) variance into a 15, setback. The applicant has an agreement with the adjoining property owner to maintain 10' of the natural buffer on either side of the lot line. This variance would not cause any problem with the building code. He had no objections to the permit. PUBLIC COMMENT: Loretta Breeden, 1602 Barabara Drive, said she was the adjoining property owner. She had no objections to the variance, but was concerned how this would effect her property in the future. Chairman Walker, said the only effect on her property would be one she would have to judge. The setback is into the property line, but should not affect her setback situation. Loretta Breeden, said her neighbor, Wayne Gifford, who is also a neighbor of Kluge's, asked her to tell the Commission he had no objection to the variance. END PUBLIC COMMENT. Karen Mahurin one concern she had was if one party decides to sell property in the future would this create a problem? Chairman Walker stated this would be a permanent variance. He also noted that it appeared from the submitted plans that the building could be reconfigured to fit within the property boundaries. Bill Kluge explained that he needed to keep the floor plan on one level, because he had a handicapped relative. The only way to reduce the footprint of the building is to go up with it, to maintain any yard area. It's about 30' from the bluff line to the rear of the house, and the usable area of the lot is fully utilized. VOTE: BRYSON GOECKE GLICK MAHURIN TOPPA WERNER- DUADE WALKER YES YES ABSENT NO ABSENT YES YES Planning & Zoning Commission April 12, 1995 Page 8 MOTION PASSED BY MAJORITY VOTE. Continuation' a. Resolution PZ 95-13: Richka Creek - Rezone SE 1/4, Sec 31, T6N, R11W from Rural Residential (RR) to Suburban Residential (RS) Chairman Walker noted this was also tabled from the previous meeting. MOTION: Karen Mahurin MOVED to bring Resolution PZ 95-13: Richka Subdivision Rezone back to the table for action. Ron Goecke SECONDED. PUBLIC COMMENT: Warren Skinner, 608 Maple, noted he had spoken on PZ 95-14 and wanted his comments brought forward for this item also. Al Poyner, 509 Ash Avenue, read a letter from Carol Freas of 609 Maple Drive, into the record (see attached). Ms. Freas' main concerns were if the development occurred that: 1. That area marked as Richka Creek Conservation on the map included with the March 9, 1995 staff report, be rezoned as Conservation Zone. 2. That area now zoned as Rural Residential (RR) be zoned as Suburban Residential One (RS-1). 3. Twenty-five percent (25%) of each lot within this area which are to be developed MUST remain in their natural ground cover (trees, grass, etc.) whether developed as an RR, RS or RS-1 zone. 4. No burying of tree stumps, underbrush, deadfall trees, etc. on any of the lots within this area, whether RR, RS or RS-1 zoned. Mr. Poyner asked if the above requests could be written into the zoning requirements for this subdivision. Chairman Walker said he believed the Commission could. Mr. Poyner said he would like the RR zoning changed to RS, specified single family dwelling and 25% of the ground cover retained. Planning & Zoning Commission April 12, 1995 Page 9 Gus Rodes, asked if the area which has been proposed for Conservation if any use has been specified. Rodes noted that under the zoning law there would be such things as parking, airports, transmission towers, etc. These items are not currently allowed under the RR zone. Chairman Walker, noted the Commission has not been informed of any proposed use. Michael Carpenter, asked the Commission what different types of RS zoning there are, does one include just single-family dwellings. Jack La Shot responded there are presently no zones that restrict this to just single- family. The most restrictive zone is sing le-fam ily/duplex, which would be RS-1 and RS-2. Michael Carpenter, stated that many people in the neighborhood are very upset. A group of people have approached Mr. Hall about buying the property. The residents would like to find a way to stop the developer from clearing the area, until they have time to put together a sale. Chairman Walker, said this item was before the Commission for approval or denial. It could be tabled for a definite period of time, to give residents time to coordinate purchase efforts. Walker felt it would only be fair that the Commission talk to the developer, since the building season is rapidly approaching. He felt the developer needed an answer, whether approved or denied. Donnelle Russell, 607 Maple Drive, stated her concerns were the noise and the devaluation of her property. They were getting ready to sell their home and felt it would be harder to sell with new construction going on just down the street. Her lot looks out on an empty lot, which will be backed by this development. She said she recently received the assessment for her property, she will have a new assessment done after the subdivision is begun. Since the plat was denied, can Hall still develop in the area. Chairman Walker, the properties can be rezoned and the plat can be adjusted and brought back to the Commission for approval, or the last action can be appealed to the City Council. Donnelle Russell, asked if Hall can still go in and cut trees. Chairman Walker, the Commission can not keep people from cutting trees on their own prope rty. Planning & Zoning Commission April 12, 1995 Page 10 Donnelle Russell Does he own the whole area? Chairman Walker was not sure he owned the whole area. Donelle Russell asked how Hall can clear land and asked for a rezone if he does not own the property? Shouldn't the landowner be the one asking for the actions? Chairman Walker noted the application stated that Hall was in the process of acquiring the property. Donnelle Russell, but as of yet, does not own it. She said she had a problem with the developer clearing the land, when in fact no one knows if he should be doing this. She agreed with others regarding the Conservation zone for the creek. Also, the strictest residential zone be recommended. Jack La Shot, said there is nothing in the City Code to keep people from clearing private property. If he is clearing land that belongs to someone else, and the owner has a problem with this, that is a private problem between these two parties. As far as the zoning the Commission can initiate a rezone. A single-family designation and retainage of 25% of vegetation could be included in the covenants by the developer. Cindie Patton, 101 Beech, felt they would be greatly impacted by this. They bought in Woodland because they were told the homes there held their value. She said the airport noise is bad already, and she felt the City needed to protect the citizens from noise pollution. If trees are cut the noise will increase. Larry Bravo, 104 Beech Avenue, was against the development. He said he would like to see the whole area go to Conservation. If all the trees are cleared the noise will be unbearable. He wanted to approach the developer to purchase the property or he was against this rezone. Lisa Skinner, 608 Maple Drive, said her main concern was for her children. She didn't want the increased traffic in the area. She said Hall has designated two lots behind her, for a home and perhaps his heavy equipment. There are not two exits out of the subdivision. She also felt he should have to adopt the same covenants as Woodland. Skinner wanted the subdivision limited to no businesses, and single-family housing, and retain 25% of vegetation. Chairman Walker mentioned that there is a conditional use permit (CUP) process that any businesses in the area would fall under the covenants or the CUP process. Planning & Zoning Commission April 12, 1995 Page 11 Lisa Skinner, expressed concern that the developer can make his own covenants and allow businesses in the subdivision. Barb Christian, 613 Maple Drive, asked if the item on the agenda was changing the designation from RR to RS. Do other residents have to introduce a separate resolution to change the designation to Conservation (C)? Instead of RR to RS, it would be RR to C. Chairman Walker, said on properties that are introduced for a rezone the owner of the property as well as the surrounding owners are contacted and this is discussed with them. This area could be requested to be changed to C, but this would have to be sponsored by the owner of the property, not the surrounding residents. It can be brought forward by the city, but there could be some difficulties in doing that. If local landowners acquire the property they can then request a C zone. Barb Christian, said she would support Kris Schmidt's letter and the proposed restrictions outlined in it. Georgia Poyner, also supported leaving as many trees as possible in the proposed subdivision. In the future she recommended how close the homes will be in conjunction with airport, in case they would have to buy them back to expand the airport, if needed. She recommended the Commission approve an RS-2 designation if possible. END PUBLIC HEARING. PLANNING AND ZONING DISCUSSION. Teresa Werner-Quade, said she wanted to address the concerns expressed that Hall does not actually own the property, at this time. Is this allowed by the code? Jack La Shot, noted the resolution was worded in such a way that the Planning and Zoning Commission was actually initiating the rezoning. Karen Mahurin, said she supported the property owner has the right to do what he wants with his property. The only alternative she felt the residents might have is an injunction against the developer. She felt the rezone would be better than leaving the zone Rural Residential. She felt she could support a rezone to the RS-1 and she would also want to amend that the creek be a Conservation zone, and that 25% of ground cover be retained, and also there would be no burying of tree stumps, etc. Planning & Zoning Commission April 12, 1995 Page 12 Teresa Werner-Quade felt that perhaps in the future the Commission would want to pursue the development of a zone which would be limited strictly to single-family residential. She also felt an RS-1 zone would be the best remedy for that area. Chairman Walker, noted that if the zone was rezoned tonight, the area would be grandfathered in as there have been no amendments to the motion brought forward, therefore, the Commission would be voting on the resolution as stated. Karen Mahurin, asked for clarification, the vote would be on the property being rezoned to Rural Residential (RR) to Suburban Residential (RS), which means one and two family dwellings. And also that the Richka Creek drainage be rezoned to Conservation (C). If the Commission wished to add anything about the trees they would need to amend. Chairman Walker, said any changes to the documents before the Commission would have to be amended and voted upon. Any changes in zoning would fall under the same auspices and another public hearing may need to be scheduled. Jack La Shot, responded that restrictions outside of what the code would allow, he was not sure about. These restrictions could be handled on the covenants or possibly notes on a plat. He was not sure the Commission could put restrictions on a rezoning application. He felt the change from RS to a more restrictive zone could be handled at the meeting. AMENDED MOTION: Karen Mahurin MOVED to amend Resolution PZ 95-13 from Rural Residential to RS-1. The resolution should state that 25% of each lot must remain in natural cover, and additionally that there would be no burying of tree stumps, or other debris from clearing the lots, buried during construction. Teresa Werner-Quade SECONDED. PUBLIC COMMENT ON AMENDED MOTION: Chairman Walker, asked for public comment. Mike Christian went to the podium and Walker asked if Christian and Hall have had any luck in negotiating the purchase of this land by local residents. Mike Christian, said Hall had given him a verbal agreement that he would agree to a 30 day moratorium on clearing trees from the land. Hall did not have time to look at the information tonight. Planning & Zoning Commission April 12, 1995 Page 13 Chairman Walker, reminded Christian that Hall has not asked for a postponement of Commission action as of tonight. Mike Christian, asked if the Commission wanted to make the zone single-family, if the amendment would have to be made at this time. Chairman Walker, said that was something the Commission could make part of the subdivision covenants. He did not feel that could be put on the present resolution. If this is passed tonight, it will be grandfathered in. Al Poyner, said if the Commission is talking about opening a whole new zoning potential for single-family only, he wanted to request the P&Z table action until such time that legally this be zoned single-family only. He did not want any change grandfathered in. Warren Skinner, wanted to stipulate the 25% tree cover amendment, he wanted to specify "live" trees. Chairman Walker felt this would also be a matter for the covenants. Linda King, said she agreed with Mr. Poyner. If a single-family designation can be considered, she didn't want to vote on anything that would grandfather this zone in. People came with an earnest money for Hall and he obviously doesn't have time work with the people. If a deal can not be negotiated, perhaps a single-family ordinance can be adopted. Georgia Poyner, asked if the item was tabled if Hall could go ahead and develop under the RR zoning requirements. Chairman Walker, said no matter what happens, since the zone is RR Hall can develop under that zoning designation, he would still have to submit a plat. Michael Christian, again asked how Hall can ask for the changes if he didn't own the property. Chairman Walker noted anyone can initiate a rezoning process. He asked for additional comments.

Chairman Walker said if one person had a large block they could be considered 50% owner. If someone wanted to individually come before this body to put something into Conservation, this body may take that on as a request from a property owner. Again the request would be generated from P&Z and not the property owner. Teresa Werner -Quads Karen Mahurin noted the proposed camping area at Floatplane Basin and felt the Planning and Zoning Commission should have commented on this. Planning & Zoning Commission April 12, 1995 Page 17 Jack La Shot noted that the Civil Air Patrol had asked for the camping spots. It was not intended for general public use. Chairman Walker asked these items come before P&Z in the future. 14. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at approximately 9:55 p.m. Respectfully submitted, oretta Harvey, AdoMistrative Assistant Planning & Zoning Commission April 12, 1995 Page 18 April 12, 1995 Planning & Zoning Commission City of Kenai 210 Fidalgo Avenue, Suite 200 Kenai, AK 99611-7794 RE: PROPOSED REZONE/SE-1 /4, Sec. 31, T6N, R11 W, S.M. West of and Including Richka Creek Drainage RURAL RESIDENTIAL (RR) TO SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL (RS) AND CONSERVATION (Q. As I understand it, this property is now zoned Rural Residential. The Kenai Municipal Code defines the RR zone to allow minimum lot sizes of 20,000 sq.ft. (with public water and/or sewer) and 40,000 sq. ft. (without public water and/or sewer service). An RS zone would allow the minimum lot size (with or without public water and/or sewer service) to be 7,200 sq. ft. In an RR zone, one family, two family and three/four family dwellings are allowed. Five/six, seven and more family dwellings, as well as townhouses can be permitted with a conditional use permit. As I stated during my testimony at the March 22, 1995 Kenai Planning & Zoning Commission meeting, if the development is to occur, I would request the following: 1. That area marked as Richka Creek Conservation on the map included with the March 9, 1995 staff report, be rezoned as Conservation Zone. 2. That area now zoned as Rural Residential (RR) be zoned as Suburban Residential One (RS-1). 3. Twenty-five percent (25%) of each lot within this area which are to be developed MUST remain in their natural ground cover (trees, grass, etc.) whether developed as an RR, RS or RS-1 zone. 4. No burying of tree stumps, underbrush, deadfall trees, etc. on any of the lots within this area, whether RR, RS or RS-1 zoned. I applaud Mr. Hall for wanting to rezone the creek area as Conservation. My desire to have the remainder of the property rezoned to RS-1 would ensure the lots would be larger (12,500 sq.ft.), with public water and/or sewer, and nothing more than two-family dwellings could be built on the lots. �, Kenai Planning & Zoning Commission April 12, 1995 Page 2 My request for 25% of the lots (whether zoned RR, RS, or RS-1) remain in their natural ground cover is to ensure the lots will not be clear cut or anything like that type of development which has occurred in the last year or so in Woodland Subdivision, regardless of covenants included on the recorded g$ats of the subdivision. The request for no burying of tree stumps, unde4brush, etc. would be to ensure the integrity of the homes, etc. built. Carol L.

APR 12 '95 03:37PM MOLLOY OR LANDRY 907 283 2835 P.2 April 12,1995 City of Kenai, Planning and Zoning Commission 210 Fidalgo Ave Kenai, AK 99611 Re: Rezone/plat of SETA, NEIA, Sec. 31, T6N, RIIW, S.M. (Richka Creek) Resolution PZ 95-13 Resolution PZ 95-14 Dear Commissioners: As a homeowner in Woodland Subdivision who would be affected by the proposed rezoning and Richka Park Estates plat, I strongly object to the application for rezoning and Richka Park Estates plat and request that the Commission deny the application for rezoning and deny approval of the Richka Park Estates plat. I am unable to appear in person tonight because of my job teaching at Kenai Peninsula College on Wednesday nights from 7:00-10:00 p.m. I have requested that the Planning and Zoning clerk read this letter into the record for me. I understand that some Woodland subdivision owners are trying to negotiate a purchase of the west 5 acres of this 40 acre parcel with the applicant, and I request that the Commission table these two resolutions to allow this negotiation. If for some reason the Commission will not table or postpone these resolutions, then I request that the Commission deny the rezoning application and deny approval of the plat for the following reasons: 1. New development in the Kenai airport noise zone will be harmful to residents of Woodland subdivision and other residential areas near the airport. The City of Kenai has no business approving any more development in the Kenai airport noise zone. This property is the last and only buffer area between Woodland Subdivision and other residential areas and the Kenai airport and float plane basin. The City of Kenai removed the only other buffer area to build the extremely noisy, taxpayer subsidized float plane basin. The City of Kenai should condemn this property and purchase it for a fair price from the owner as an airport buffer area, rather than allow another high intensity subdivision development. The City has already been sued over increased airport noise, and the risk to Kenai taxpayers of more suits because of the increase in airport noise over the last few years will only increase as the City approves marginal developments such as this one. 2. 'The infrastructure cannot currently support this high density development, Beech Circle, and the end of Birch Street, the two outlets for this proposed subdivision, are currently cul de sacs which have very little traffic, and they cannot support the enormous increase in traffic which this subdivision would add. The developer should be required to APR 12 '95 03:38PM MOLLOY OR LANDRY 907 293 2835 P.3 build two other access roads, rather than sending traffic through these cul de sacs, where children currently play in the streets. 3. The subdivision should not be approved without limitations on lot size, building type, and clearcutting of trees, and road access. If the Commissioners do vote to approve the Richka Creek rezoning and plat, in spite of almost unanimous testimony against these resolutions, the Commission should at least place restrictions on the rezoning and plat, as follows: (1) the lots be at least as large or larger than adjacent (Part I) Woodland subdivision lots; (2) the buildings be limited to single family residences; (3) that trees be left standing which are within at least 25 feet of the lot lines; and (4) alternative access roads, besides Beech Circle and the end of Birch Street, be. built. 5) The Commission should also require that lots 6, 7 and 8 of the development on the west side of Richka Creek be deleted or the subdivision reconfigured, since in their current configuration they would be 50% fill rather than actually existing land. (6) The Commission should also require that lots 1, and 4-16 on the east side of Richka Creek be deleted, or the subdivision reconfigured, because these lots would be 50% fill, rather than existing land. If these restrictions are not put into this development, the City of Kenai will be responsible for. (1) decreased Woodland Subdivision property values (especially in Part One, when I live) from loss of open space, protective screening vegetation, and from increased Kenai airport noise, and new subdivision noise, especially from traffic and heavy equipment; and (2) decreased Woodland Subdivision property values from proximity of high density subdivision, out of character with adjacent Part One lots. The proposed subdivision will entail a high amount of fill, resulting in many lots that are merely piles of dirt. 4. 'There is no evidence that the applicant is empowered to apply. As a procedural matter, I saw no evidence in the Planning and Zoning file for Resolution PZ 95-13 when I examined it in March that the applicant actually owns that property described in these resolutions or has the power to act for the record owner. The Kenai zoning code requires that only the property owner may petition for a rezoning. The Commission should require and make available for the public documents proving that the applicant is qualified to make these applications. Finally, the Commission should consider the plight of Woodland Subdivision property owners. Many of the people testifying before you tonight, and other Woodland property owners, were ensured by their builders and sellers that this parcel would never be developed, as part of the sale of their home. Many of them paid top dollar for the lots which border this proposed subdivision. Not one person that I have talked to knew this lot was for even for sale, and now, less than a month later, there are already bulldozers knocking down trees at the end of Birch Street and the applicant has stated his intent to 2 APR 12 '95 03:38PM MOLLOY CR LANDRY 907 283 2835 P.4 start cutting trees within the next week or two. Now you are being asked to ignore these promises and assurances, made over the last 30 years, and approve, in record time, this high density development, which will be completely out of character with the neighborhood. You are being asked to approve cutting the last stand of trees that protect Woodland Subdivision homes from the Kenai airport If this were your neighborhood, you would be here tonight asking the same things I am asking. The Commission has the power to deny this application and permit, or send it back to the drawing board to meet the restrictions I have outlined above. I request that you exercise this power in the best interest of Kenai residents who live in the areas surrounding this rezoning and plat. Thank you for the opportunity to testify.

Others present: Clarence Ladd, Ethel Clausen and Kim Booth. DISCUSSION: KENAI RIVER DISCUSSION: Mayor Williams reviewed the remarks made by Governor Knowles during the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce luncheon on Monday, April 10, 1995. A copy of the Governor's speech, along with the Governor -approved projects on the Kenai River were distributed to Council with their packets of back-up information for the budget work session. Williams stated the intent of the Governor is to allow more fish into the River and save the habitat. Williams asked Council if they should address the Governor by letter as to the City's feelings about the intent of his plan. What the Governor is proposing is the very issue the City has put before the Assembly in regard to the overlay ordinance. The ordinance itself cannot correct the habitat degradation when other sources are increasing the problem. Bookey stated he was amazed at the Governor's comments. The Governor went a different direction than what he expected. Bookey added he does not understand how more fish can be added to the River and the River be maintained. He understands the importance of tourism to the area, but commercial fishing is very important to the area also and cannot be overlooked. Williams reported during discussions he had with Mayor Gilman, Gilman stated he did not think the ordinance would come for a vote anytime in the near future. Williams added, he believed the City will have to keep their attention on the ordinance. On Tuesday night the Assembly will have another work session (5:00 KENAI CITY COUNCIL BUDGET WORK SESSION APRIL 12, 1995 PAGE 2 p.m.). The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the issue of the lower five miles of the river. Assemblyman Navarre has come to realize that the lower five miles will be a problem if he continues to force it. Williams also reported another attorney is drafting an opinion in regard to the ordinance. The ordinance that was passed in 1984 was for zoning powers. The Assembly cannot go around that ordinance without rescinding it or modifying it in order to enact the overlay ordinance. Williams added he wanted to insure that he and the Council are all going in the same direction in regard to the overlay ordinance and asked whether he should respond to the Governor. Swarner stated it should be stated the Council is responding because of the economical value of the fishing and the fallacy of putting more fish in the river being good for the river. There should be a lot of thought put into the response. Williams stated he would respond to the Governor and requested councilmembers, staff, etc. attend the Assembly work session on Tuesday. Williams stated he discussed the matter with some of the Assemblymembers and feels there are four possible "no" votes -- Glick, Merkes, Brown and Wiley. He also believes the Mayor would veto the ordinance. Monfor asked, when talking about voting against the ordinance, is that forever or until the City of Kenai is removed from the ordinance? Williams answered to stop the entire process and if that is not possible, to amend the ordinance to remove the City from it. Williams added the Governor is planning to name a new Kenai River management group and the council should be prepared to recommend persons for placement on it. BUDGET: Williams suggested setting aside the major item discussion (items which would make a major change in the City's services) and begin KENAI CITY COUNCIL BUDGET WORK SESSION APRIL 12, 1995 PAGE 3 with the reviewing of the city manager's budget memorandum. Williams noted though he hates to see the equipment reserve go down, it is in keeping with the council thinking. Manninen stated in staff discussions, in preparation of the budget, some of the expensive items were moved into other years or taken out of the budget altogether. Without those changes, more than $300,000 would have had to be placed in the equipment reserve. The expenditures could be increased or decreased. It is up to the Council in regard to the equipment reserve. If set at one mil, they would need to add another $500,000. It may make sense to set the reserve at $1 million to take out of the General Fund and put in the reserve. Williams noted the main question would then be the effect on the General Fund. Finance Director Brown referred to Exhibit 5, next -to -bottom - line. If the operating budget is not raised very much this year, it would be a good year to take an extra $200,000 and put in the reserve to keep the balance up. It would be a good year as a lot is not needed to be added to the General Fund in order to balance. It depends on what Council does. Manninen added, another point would be whether the General Fund balance would be $6.8 million or $7.2 million. Brown added he did not think the fund balance decreasing. He is not concerned about the sales tax deductions as he didn't raise the estimates for next year. Williams stated he expects the decrease in payroll for oil companies will have a major impact on retail sales in the city. Brown added property values are increasing. Nothing he's seen so far makes him worry. Williams stated he would go ahead and accept the recommendation to move on the heavy equipment as shown without increasing the reserve, holding some purchases, or increasing the reserve. Council questions regarding the heavy equipment would be held until after the rest of the budget was discussed. Manninen added he requested department heads to put together a memorandum and video for council review in regard to need for heavy equipment replacement, etc. KENAI CITY COUNCIL BUDGET WORK SESSION APRIL 12, 1995 PAGE 4 WATER WELL STATUS: Monfor questioned the water well status. Manninen reported the City received the tests on the aquifer. The water is good. Now they have to get in and develop the well and have money to develop and hook it to the system. The new well should be hooked up and going next year at this time. Manninen added the Thompson Park money can be used for the well and two or three outhouses (park and beach). They hope to also receive $1 million from the State and $200,000 from the Governor's Capital Grant and money from the Thompson Park project. $2.75 million will be needed for the well. Williams reviewed the remainder of the budget memo. Williams stated it was a credit to Administration and the Finance Department for presentation of budget figures as they are. There is a projected appropriation of fund balance of $30,000 in comparison to the $685,993 last year. Brown warned not to gloss over the fact that a large portion of the budget is being transferred from other funds within the City, i.e. central administration is all of City Hall; $250,000 transferred from Airport to the Fire Department; and some is internal entry. The transfers were discussed. STREET MAINTENANCE: Williams asked Kornelis if there were any major problems with street maintenance, i.e. dust control, etc. Smalley reported he has heard lots of nice comments about the streets. Smalley also noted the Recreation Center parking lot has lots of large holes. Kornelis stated the will have to cut into them to patch them. Williams noted sunken manholes on Aliak and Lawton. BOAT FACILITY: Brown noted the retained earnings does make a difference. They are slowing working down to zero. CONGREGATE HOUSING RESERVE FUND: Brown reported by the end of FY 95, he expects the reserve to be about $190,000. This budget calls for adding more. Williams added that would place the reserve at about one-half of the goal of $500,000. KENAI CITY COUNCIL BUDGET WORK SESSION APRIL 12, 1995 PAGE 5 BREAK TAKEN: 8:00 P.M. BACK TO ORDER: 8:15 P.M. CITY CLERK BUDGET: Council discussed the request for funding to purchase a document imaging system. The Clerk's budget included costs for network software and the system. Freas explained she has discussed the possible purchase with a company in Anchorage who worked with the City of Homer and Homer Electric Association, Inc. in finding the right system for their needs. Freas added there will be a lot of discussion, survey of needs, etc. prior to any purchase. Councilwoman Swarner added she discussed the matter with Scott Kraxberger at the Kenai Peninsula College. He stated he would review information if needed also. APPROVED. KENAI VISITOR CENTER: Councilwoman Monfor requested this budget be discussed at a later date as the President of the Board was unable to attend. BUDGET HELD FOR NEXT WORK SESSION. LEGISLATIVE: Donkey Engine - Williams discussed his desire to bring the donkey engine from across the Inlet and where to place it. Williams added it could be included in the walking tour of Old Towne. Williams suggested the lawn behind the old City Hall building. Williams added he requested Kornelis to estimate the cost for a shed -type cover for the engine, plus the concrete pad. Williams requested $25,000 be added to the budget for this project. Measles suggested the money be placed in the Parks & Recreation budget. CONSENSUS WAS TO PLACE THE $25,000 IN THE PARKS & RECREATION BUDGET. KENAI CITY COUNCIL BUDGET WORK SESSION APRIL 12, 1995 PAGE 6 City Brochure - Councilwoman Monfor suggested a new brochure be developed in conjunction with the Visitors Center and/or the Kenai Chamber of Commerce. Monfor suggested pictures be taken in July and August. The brochure could be used to promote the City, using it for handouts, etc. CONSENSUS OF COUNCIL WAS TO ADD $15,000 TO LEGISLATIVE PRINTING AND BINDING FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A CITY BROCHURE. City Video/Russian Dubbed - Williams stated he would like to have a few copies of the city video made with Russian dubbing. NO CHANGE. Miscellaneous/AK Municipal League Conference - Swarner suggested removing the $1,000 placed under Miscellaneous. The $1,000 was added in the budget for last year's AML Conference reception which was held in Kenai. REMOVE THE $1,000. Kenai Peninsula Caucus - Swarner stated she would like to take the Caucus dues out of the budget. Williams stated he would support the Caucus dues. NO CHANGE. COUNCIL APPROVED WITH ADDITION OF $15,000 TO PRINTING AND BINDING FOR BROCHURE COSTS. CITY ATTORNEY: Graves explained the additional $50,000 in his professional services budget was an estimate for upcoming costs in regard to Inlet Woods litigation, etc. Some of the additional costs has to do with strategy and he could not discuss that at this time. Williams asked if there would be additional costs in regard to possible overlay district litigation. Graves stated no. Most of that would be done in-house. Graves also explained the additional cost for his books budget was to replace 60-70% of his books with CD-ROM. The initial costs will be greater, however, the updates will cost less. KENAI CITY COUNCIL BUDGET WORK SESSION APRIL 12, 1995 PAGE 7 COUNCIL APPROVED BUDGET AS PRESENTED. CITY MANAGER: Williams stated his concern Manninen's travel budget would be too low. Manninen stated he felt comfortable with the amount requested. If needed, he could ask for more from council from contingency. He anticipated the money included would cover his next year's travel. Manninen added he believed his was a workable budget. COUNCIL APPROVED BUDGET AS PRESENTED. FINANCE DEPARTMENT: Williams noted the Finance Department's travel budget was $500 higher. Brown explained he uses most of the budgeted funds for his employees to get additional training. Brown also noted he made a mistake in his budget. Brown requested an additional $1,000 be placed in his miscellaneous budget for contract billing of ambulance fees to Medicaid and Medicare. Brown stated he had not anticipated Council's approval of instigating ambulance fees. COUNCIL APPROVED THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT BUDGET AS PRESENTED AND WITH THE ADDITION OF $1,000 IN THE MISCELLANEOUS ACCOUNT FOR CONTRACT BILLING. AIRPORT LAND: No discussion. COUNCIL APPROVED THE AIRPORT LAND BUDGET AS PRESENTED. NON -DEPARTMENTAL - GENERAL FUND: Williams noted this budget was raised by $25,000. Brown reported that was for insurance costs, replacement of the small copier and purchase of the telephone system. Brown stated it would be cost effective to purchase the system at this time. COUNCIL APPROVED THE NON-DEPARTMENTAL/GENERAL FUND BUDGET AS PRESENTED. KENAI CITY COUNCIL BUDGET WORK SESSION APRIL 12, 1995 PAGE 8 PLANNING & ZONING: Kornelis explained the advertising account was raised as the funds received for purchase of building permits are not placed back into their account. Brown explained the way it had been done was not correct. Those funds received need to go to revenues and has no effect on the net operation. Smalley asked if the Townsite Historic Survey costs should be included in the printing and binding budget. It was noted those costs would be out of this year's budget. Kornelis added they have to have the funds committed by June 30. NO CHANGES. COUNCIL APPROVED THE PLANNING & ZONING BUDGET AS PRESENTED. POLICE DEPARTMENT: Chief Morris explained changes to his budget were reflected in a difference in PERS and the addition of two automobiles in the Machinery & Equipment account. Williams asked if the computer system had been transferred. Morris explained they have updated four of the computers in dispatch and they are doing well. Bookey asked if Morris saw any impact on the overtime situation with the expectations of additional dipnetting and fishermen to the River. Morris stated he was satisfied with the amount in his budget. If more is needed, he would come back and explain where it was spent. Williams requested Administration to briefly assess the impact on the City in regard to the anticipated use of the river because of closures of other rivers. Measles added it is another form of unfunded mandates. Williams would like the information for inclusion in his letter to the Governor. Morris added one of the officers will be involved in a ten -week program aimed at junior high -aged children. He did not believe there would be an impact on the officer's other duties. KENAI CITY COUNCIL BUDGET WORK SESSION APRIL 12, 1995 PAGE 9 COUNCIL APPROVED THE POLICE DEPARTMENT BUDGET AS PRESENTED, EXCEPT FOR LARGE EQUIPMENT PURCHASE REQUESTS WHICH WILL BE DISCUSSED AT A LATER DATE. FIRE DEPARTMENT: Chief Burnett explained his budget had been increased by $3,000 to accommodate for transportation for training on new equipment. Also there is a small increase for impact bottle replacements. COUNCIL APPROVED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT BUDGET AS PRESENTED, EXCEPT THE LARGE EQUIPMENT PURCHASE REQUESTS, WHICH WOULD BE DISCUSSED LATER. COMMUNICATIONS: Chief Morris explained the Operating & Supplies budget changed because they divided out the costs between the Police and Communications. Williams questioned the decrease in the Small Tools account. Morris stated he believed it to be okay. COUNCIL APPROVED THE COMMUNICATIONS BUDGET AS PRESENTED. ANIMAL CONTROL: Councilman Smalley suggested the budget may need to reflect an impact the amount of additional fishermen may have when bringing their pets, etc. Williams asked where the building maintenance was included. Kornelis explained all building maintenance costs were included in the Buildings budget. Bookey suggested repairs and maintenance be discussed later. COUNCIL APPROVED THE ANIMAL CONTROL BUDGET AS PRESENTED. PUBLIC WORKS/ADMINISTRATION: Kornelis explained there was a big change in machinery and equipment. The other items are those requiring OSHA training for the coordinator, etc. The Engineering Technician and the City Manager did the budget for safety costs. The budget began at $30,000 and has now been reduced. They plan to bring in instructors which will decrease the cost for transportation, etc. KENAI CITY COUNCIL BUDGET WORK SESSION APRIL 12, 1995 PAGE 10 COUNCIL APPROVED PUBLIC WORKS/ADMINISTRATION BUDGET AS PRESENTED. SHOP: Williams noted the maintenance and repair budget was decreased from last year. Kornelis explained last year there were specific items needed (generator work, crash truck work, Caterpillar 966). The $25,000 in this budget is a guess. There won't be as many specific items in the budget this year. They are requesting funds to develop a shop trailer which would be pulled behind a truck to respond to emergencies. The trailer would be equipped with safety gear, oil spill gear, etc. Bookey asked if this was needed due to OSHA regulations. Kornelis stated no. Bookey stated he was not comfortable with the $25,000 for the trailer. The trailer may be duplicating what is already available at the Fire Department. Kornelis explained the trailer would be equipped with barricades, shovels, etc. Burnett added his Department has only a minimal amount of this type of equipment. Kornelis added the trailer would also be equipped with vests, ditch digging equipment, a generator, heater, pumps, and it would serve as a warming area for personnel. Burnett added the Fire Department could utilize the equipment as well. Bookey stated he would want it to stay maintained at all times. Kornelis stated he already thought about that. Swarner asked if there was enough money for maintaining the new equipment that the city has and training for the care of it. Kornelis answered he is really more concerned about maintaining the older equipment. Kornelis stated he felt there was enough included in the budget to cover transportation and costs for training. Swarner added she wanted to be sure there was enough money included in accounts for necessary training. COUNCIL APPROVED THE SHOP BUDGET AS PRESENTED. STREET MAINTENANCE: Williams noted a large increase in Machinery & Equipment. Kornelis answered a large amount of the increase was for a KENAI CITY COUNCIL BUDGET WORK SESSION APRIL 12, 1995 PAGE 11 snowblower. Kornelis added he would have back-up information and a video for another work session. Kornelis added there is a also OSHA mandatory training included in this budget. COUNCIL APPROVED THE STREET MAINTENANCE BUDGET AS PRESENTED. BUILDINGS: Kornelis reported he received a memorandum from the Building Inspector requesting an amount of $222,900 for needed building repairs and maintenance. The city manager has decreased that budget to $82,000. McGillivray stated his concern there should be more funds included for roof repairs. There are a lot of items he felt should be done which were cut out. There are other repairs needed than just roofs. Williams asked for specific items felt needed. Kornelis answered: carpeting replacement in the library and City Hall; OSHA-requried lighting and roofing at the Animal Control Shelter; tile replacement in the entry way at the Senior Center; roofing on a number of buildings; Rec Center carpet replacement; re - coating of the gymnasium floor, etc. Williams suggested Administration put lots of money in rolling stock. Maybe next year money will need to be included for major maintenance of buildings. Manninen stated he is finding out they may need work to be done on the Fine Arts Building and the Flight Service Station. All the buildings need roof repair or heat/ventilation systems. Williams stated he does not want to let the building get too far along before doing necessary maintenance on them. COUNCIL APPROVED THE ADDITION OF $4,500 FOR RECOATING THE RECREATION CENTER GYMNASIUM FLOOR. Williams stated he thought it was the Arts group's responsibility for maintaining the Fine Arts Center. Monfor stated she felt it was the city's responsibility to repair the roof. Kornelis stated they estimated the cost to repair the roof would be $22,000. KENAI CITY COUNCIL BUDGET WORK SESSION APRIL 12, 1995 PAGE 12 Kornelis added there are other big problems with the building. A short discussion followed. Council and Kornelis discussed the foundation problems with the building, etc. Council stated their concerns of putting a lot of money into repair of the roof when the foundation was falling away. KORNELIS WAS REQUESTED TO BRING FORWARD ADDITIONAL DETAILED INFORMATION OF REPAIRS NEEDED TO THIS BUILDING AND OTHER CITY BUILDINGS. STREET LIGHTS: Councilwoman Swarner stated she would like additional street lights placed within the City. Those areas suggested for placing additional lights were: The stretch between Tinker and Lawton and Deepwood Court. Freas asked if additional lights will be needed if the addition to Woodland goes forward? Kornelis stated he has been working with HEA in regard to the City's maintenance agreement. HEA wants out of it. Kornelis added he believes something will be worked out. However, HEA will be insisting on metering the street lights. KORNELIS WAS REQUESTED TO BRING TO THE NEXT WORK SESSION THE COST FOR PLACEMENT OF TEN STREET LIGHTS. LIBRARY: DeForest reported her big computer needs replacing. The hardware is outdated and after next year, the company won't support the system. New hardware will be needed and the programs on the computer now will need to be transferred. UPGRADE IF POSITIONS: Councilwoman Monfor reported two department assistants are at a Range 3 which is equivalent to the Recreation Center level and the skill needed for the department assistants warrant a Range 7 which would be an additional $1,000 (a year) for each. Councilwoman Monfor and Councilman Smalley supported the changes. Monfor added one of the persons takes over the Librarian's position when she is out of town. The department assistant positions are comparable to a City Hall secretary position. KENAI CITY COUNCIL BUDGET WORK SESSION APRIL 12, 1995 PAGE 13 McGillivray stated his concern of the statement (made by Councilwoman Monfor) that his worker only sits and answers the phone. There is more involved. Monfor apologized and stated she meant that the scope of work at the library may be more complex, i.e. computer knowledge, etc. Monfor added, perhaps changes needed to be made in other departments as well. Swarner agreed. Manninen stated that if ranges are changed selectively, that could make things worse. There are other departments that have requested similar range changes. He did not recommend any changes. Manninen explained there are some employees who are at the top of their range and their pay classifications are frozen, other than COLA raises. Approximately 1/3 of the employees receive step raises every other year and approximately 1/3 of the employees are working through their steps. Monfor stated that was not a fair evaluation. What Manninen was saying and what she was discussing were two different items. The library positions she was discussing (and others as well) are positions where the scope of the work has changed. It is the Council's responsibility to make those types of decisions, however, for years the department heads have been told by Administration that their requests would not be taken to Council. Council has no way of knowing without that information being forwarded. The City does not have a merit raise and the workers are not rewarded. In these two jobs, the scope of the work has changed dramatically. The employees in those positions should not be stuck there. It's not their fault. If other department heads feel the same about some of their employee's positions, they should state it. The Council will take the heat. Manninen stated nobody was saying Council couldn't make changes. He is saying, be warned when they are doing it. Monfor stated it may need to be done because the position's scope has changed and it is no longer the same position. If the employees have the same type of responsibilities as another level, why not move them up to that level. They do not need to reclassify, but move them to the level of scope for the position. Bookey agreed with Monfor, however, there are more employees out there and if Council looks at one position, they need to review them all. Monfor stated she did not disagree with that. KENAI CITY COUNCIL BUDGET WORK SESSION APRIL 12, 1995 PAGE 14 Smalley reminded Council that they changed one position during a budget session because the job duties changed and the employee was given an increase. Williams asked Brown if a person is hired at a specific range because of the job requirements and the job requirements change considerably from those that person was hired for, should their job classification change with the position? Brown stated he was not qualified to answer that question. Bannock stated he agreed with Bookey in that if Council wants to look at classifications, he would rather look at all employees and make any necessary changes as opposed to individual department levels. There may be other position changes as well. Bannock added he felt it would be dangerous to make changes in one department and not look at other departments as well. Monfor stated the City's most valuable resource is its employees. Monfor added she did not disagree with adding new personnel, but thinks it is time to look at pay ranges. There may be Range 3's that should remain there, but there may be some that should be higher. Williams noted it has been ten years since the Council had a professional study done. However, he did not know if another professional study would need to be done. Perhaps an in-house review could be made. Monfor stated a position could be reviewed as what was required in that position when filled compared to what is required of the position now. Williams asked if it is necessary to re -advertise positions if they are reclassified. Brown stated that has never been done. Councilman Measles suggested a review be done separate from the budget, after the budget is closed and completed. Measles suggested Council direct Administration to review all the city positions and bring back recommendations after July 1. It was asked if he was suggesting to review all the Range 3's within the City. Measles answered no, Administration needs to take an overview of the whole roster and see if there are inequities there. Some will stand out. KENAI CITY COUNCIL BUDGET WORK SESSION APRIL 12, 1995 PAGE 15 COUNCIL CONSENSUS: ADMINISTRATION SHOULD REVIEW ALL CITY POSITIONS AND LOOK FOR INEQUITIES. THE STUDY SHOULD BE COMPLETED AND PRESENTED TO COUNCIL AFTER JULY 1. Council adjourned the work session at approximately 9:50 p.m. At the next work session, Council will begin with the Recreation budget. The date of the next budget session is to be set at the April 19, 1995 council meeting. Notes transcribed and submitted by: Carol L.

There were no objections. SO ORDERED. ITEM B: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT B-1. Peggy Gill Thompson - Roof Repair - Kenai Fine Arts Building. Mrs. Thompson stated she resides at 4010 Lupine in Kenai. She is the president of the Kenai Arts and Humanities Council (KAHC). The KAHC maintains the Kenai Arts Building. Thompson reminded Council the Fine Arts Building is the old jail and city hall. It is a historical building and the KAHC feels the building is worth saving. The building is used for various art classes, meetings, and art displays, etc. At this time, the building is leased at $1.00 per year. Much of the work done on the building is by volunteer labor. The KAHC has done a lot of work on the Center over the years. Thompson referred to information included in the packet which delineated the work and costs incurred by the KAHC over the years. Thompson reported the roof of the building requires repair. They have had a roofer investigate the work needing done and the estimated cost of that work. Thompson requested Council to repair the roof. Linda McNair - Stated she is a past president of the KAHC. McNair added she feels the facility is important for the community and well utilized. The City's Parks & Recreation Department program used the building; the literacy program has used the building; users of the adjacent playground come in the building to use the restrooms; plus all the various art displays, lessons, etc. McNair stated she feels the fine arts program is important to the community. The art classes are always full. The City of Kenai should be proud of the part the KAHC has played throughout the years in the community. Mayor Williams stated the Council is faced with a dilemma as they all recognize the important role the KAHC plays in the community, but also are aware of the other structural problems with the building. Williams referred to information included in the packet which informed the Council it would cost approximately KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 19, 1995 PAGE 3 $45,000 to correct all the problems plaguing the building. Williams briefly discussed the structural problems and added the Council may want to bandage the building at this time. However, the City is also working toward the funding of a new water well and animal control center. Ms. Thompson added the estimate received for the roofing was $17,000. They have been keeping the furnace repaired. Thompson reminded Council the KAHC has been paying for all repairs and costs over the years. Thompson added they have appreciated the snowplowing, landscaping and mowing the City has contributed also. Thompson stated the KAHC is the art connection for the City. Many visitors to the area are envious of their situation (low rent, City support, etc.). The KAHC is needed as much as any other extracurricular activity supported by the City. Councilwoman Monfor requested this discussion be included at the next budget work session. Williams agreed and added Council could then review the work the Building Inspector believes is necessary and the costs involved. Williams suggested another estimate from another company be obtained. Smalley stated he did not disagree with obtaining another estimate, but cautioned that if the roof is in as bad a shape as indicated, the more underlay work needed, the more costly the work will be. Smalley added he agreed with Monfor in that the matter should be discussed at the budget work session. Council could review other alternatives, cost estimates, etc. Monfor suggested the KAHC put together a one-, three- and five- year plan to save the building and present that information to Council. This is not the only building in the City the Council has concerns about and they may need to prioritize work on the different buildings, doing so much each year. Monfor also suggested the KAHC bring additional ideas for repairs, etc. forward. Monfor asked if a metal roof could be put on the building and suggested there may be community groups who would donate the costs. Williams requested a price estimate of a hip roof be forwarded to Council and included for the next work session. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 19, 1995 PAGE 4 WORK SESSION SCHEDULING: Council requested a budget work session be set for Wednesday, April 26, 1995 in the Senior Center TV/lounge area. Council also tentatively set May 10, 1995 as an additional budget work session -- also to be held at the Senior Center. ITEM C: PUBLIC HEARINGS C-1. Ordinance No. 1639-95 - Increasing Estimated Revenues and Appropriations by $11,000 in a New Capital Project Fund Entitled "S.T.P. - Disinfection/Safety Program." C-1a. Removal from Table. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED to remove Ordinance No. 1639-95 from the table. Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. C-1b. Substitution MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED to substitute Ordinance No. 1639-95 with C-lb as identified on the document for Ordinance No. 1639-95, identified as C-la. Councilman Bookey SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. There were no public comments. Mayor Williams requested Public Works Director Kornelis to review the ordinance with Council. Kornelis explained the first ordinance came before Council prior to receiving proposals. The specifications requested a cost for a Process Safety Management Program which is OSHA required. They received three proposals. However, the proposals did not include costs to change the method of disinfection which the Public Works Department felt may be helpful to decide to change from chlorine gas cylinders to liquid chlorine. He then requested a cost analysis for evaluating alternative disinfection methods from CH2M Hill and Vasey Engineering. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 19, 1995 PAGE 5 He received proposals from both companies. Both are capable of doing the analysis. Ch2M Hill's proposal was for $6,000. Vasey's proposal was for $2,500 (working with Wince-Corthell- Bryson) for Phase I of the project (cost analysis). Vasey Engineering's total cost would be $36,000 for the cost analysis, design, bidding and inspection of an alternative method of disinfection. The Public Works Department recommended the work be awarded to Vasey Engineering for the Phase I portion. Upon receipt of the cost analysis, they will review it thoroughly and decide whether they want to go into the construction. Kornelis added he has discussed the matter with OSHA and they reduced the fine (reported at the last council meeting). Williams clarified Council would first appropriate $36,000 and then award Vasey Engineering the contract in the amount of $36,000. Williams asked what the cost would be for doing the whole job. Kornelis answered if it is decided to change to liquid chlorine, the cost for the modification to the STP would be approximately $80,000. Phase I (the $36,000) would cover costs to evaluate disinfection alternatives including the use of liquid chlorine and ultraviolet radiation. Phase II would cover costs for engineering services during the design, bidding and construction. If it is decided to go to only liquid chlorine, the cost of the modification would be less. VOTE ON SUBSTITUTE ORDINANCE NO. 1639-95: Bookey: Yes Swarner: Yes Monfor: Yes Measles: Yes Bannock: Yes Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. The recent lawsuit at the City of Soldotna in regard to a chlorine leak was discussed. City Manager Manninen stated from a safety point, liquid chlorine is safer. It is used in many places. It is not known, at this time, if using ultraviolet radiation will work for Kenai. Williams reminded Council that it was first said that chlorine gas was the best thing to use. Manninen stated it was cheaper to use chlorine gas, but now the safety factor should control the decision of what to use. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 19, 1995 PAGE 6 Kornelis stated he has discussed the matter with DEC. They first stated the work would not be grant eligible, however they now consider it an upgrade and would be grant eligible. Kornelis added he has received verbal acknowledgement that if a reappropriation is requested within 120 days, the cost would be reimbursable. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED to award the professional engineering contract for a not -to -exceed amount of $36,000 to Vasey Engineering. Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion. Bannock asked if Kornelis had a recommendation on the two plans. Kornelis stated the STP operators would prefer the ultraviolet radiation. This is done with bulbs. However, they are concerned the bulbs may get gummed up with deposits from the City water. Bannock asked what were the negative effects of chlorine gas. Kornelis answered the cost and more work for the operators. Kornelis added liquid chlorine is not as dangerous. With the liquid chlorine, OSHA would not be involved with the safety management plan. Smalley asked if after Phase I is completed, it is determined that liquid chlorine is better and the ultraviolet radiation is not acceptable, why not decide on the liquid chlorine now. Kornelis stated that is what they want to have investigated. Williams stated the first phase is the $2,500 amount for a study to be completed by the middle of May. At this time, the City is only committing $2,500. The report from the engineer will be brought to Council at that time and a decision of future modifications will be made at that time. Smalley clarified that the Phase II would not be taken without Council again reviewing the matter. Kornelis confirmed a report will be brought back to Council to investigate.

Motion for Adoption MOTION: Councilman Bannock MOVED for the adoption of Ordinance No. 1644- 95 and Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Councilman Smalley asked why there was a rush for passage of the ordinance. Parks & Recreation Director McGillivray explained the bid packages were sent out and the bid opening was held March 28. The Parks & Recreation Commission reviewed the bids and made their recommendation. There is a 60-day delivery time. Because they want to place the equipment as soon as possible, they requested the ordinance be handled in this manner. Smalley asked if there was a problem with any of the bids. McGillivray stated there was one incomplete bid. McGillivray took this time to inform Council the park restrooms will be sent in two packages: one will include the building and tank and the other will include the roof. McGillivray passed out a brochure showing the port -a -path which will be purchased (Resolution No. 95-15). This material is ADA access approved.

VOTE: There were no objections to the motion. SO ORDERED. C-8. Resolution No. 95-16 - Supporting the Establishment of a Business Innovation Center Within the Boundaries of Kenai Peninsula Borough by the Kenai Peninsula Borough Economic Development District, Incorporated (EDD). MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 95-16 and Councilwoman Monfor SECONDED the motion and requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. Jim Elson - P.O. Box 2788, Kenai, AK. Elson gave a short explanation of what the Economic Development District hopes to accomplish with the development of the innovation center and background information of what the EDD has been doing to help promulgate small businesses. Elson then stated that they are applying for a grant to acquire a portion of the Old Carr's Mall to house the innovation center. In order to get funding, the federal government needs proof of community support. Elson added the incubator is to enhance private businesses and start new businesses without competing with established businesses. Councilman Bookey stated he was concerned with the chance that there would be competition to established businesses. Stan Steadman - EDD Executive Director. Steadman explained the funding sources are very sensitive to the competition issue. Steadman then presented a video of an incubator he toured in Idaho. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 19, 1995 PAGE 11 Bill Root - Root discussed the different training sessions, the revolving loan and other programs offered by the EDD and the incubator program. Root added they will be emphasizing light manufacturing businesses. VOTE: There were no objections to the motion. SO ORDERED. C-9. Resolution No. 95-17 - Transferring $2,275 in the Mission Street Capital Project Fund for Surveys on Mission and Overland Streets. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 95-17 and Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion and requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no public comments. Councilman Bookey stated he had no problem with doing the project if there is certainty the road project will be completed. Bookey asked if the Church has agreed to the right-of-way. Kornelis answered he discussed the matter with them some time ago, but has not had any recent discussions with them. Councilwoman Swarner asked if the survey was not done now, could it be done later. Kornelis answered yes, it could be delayed. Swarner stated she would rather delay the work until it is known whether the road project will be completed. If the road is diverted to go behind the Fish & Wildlife buildings, the cost for the survey will be for nothing. Williams stated the project has been discussed for several years. They would like to get the design completed. There are inherent problems with the right-of-way and settling those problems will take some time. Bookey stated he did not see a big hurry to do the survey. Kornelis stated the property involved needs to be defined. VOTE: Bookey: No Swarner: Yes Monfor: Yes Measles: Yes Bannock: No Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 19, 1995 PAGE 12 MOTION PASSED. BREAK TAKEN: 8:35 P.M. BACK TO ORDER: 8:50 P.M. ITEM D: COMMISSION/COMMITTEE REPORTS D-1. Council on Aging Councilwoman Swarner reported the Council on Aging would be meeting again next month. She will not be able to attend and requested another councilmember to attend in her place. D-2. Airport Commission Councilman Measles reported there was no quorum and no meeting. Mayor Williams added he discussed some suggestions with Airport Manager Ernst and requested Ernst to investigate possibilities. D-3. Harbor Commission Councilman Bookey referred to Public Works Director Kornelis to report on the recent meeting. Kornelis reported Arthur Robinson made a presentation to the Commission and requested support for a new service he would like to offer from the City dock. Robinson explained he wants to provide service to Chisik Island through a business, "Ship to Shore Tours." The Harbor Commission has recommended the project. They will be compiling a package of information to bring to Council at their next meeting. The Commission also discussed the procurement and placement of rip -rap at the bluff. They are investigating the possibility of using concrete pilings as rip -rap. He has contacted a contractor for a cost estimate or possible donation of the material, as well as if donated, how it could be accepted, etc. Kornelis added he believes the use of the concrete pilings would be more complicated than what the Commission believes, i.e. how to keep it from washing out, navigational problems, etc. Williams stated he spoke with Robinson in regard to his prospective tour business. Robinson wants to take tourists for tours around Chisik Island, the wildlife sanctuary and to Lake Clark National Park. The possibility should be given broad consideration as he believes this type of business would be very good. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 19, 1995 PAGE 13 Kornelis stated Robinson was envisioning 30-60 people leaving from the dock each day. Bookey added Robinson has discussed the project with the Lake Clark director. He foresees a problem getting out of the mouth of the Kenai River. D-4. Library commission Councilwoman Monfor reported the minutes of the last meeting were included in the packet. The Library will be open again on Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monfor also noted there is an opening on the Commission and referred to the application of Lorene Forbes, which was included in the packet. Williams asked Council if they had any objections to the appointment of Ms. Forbes to the Commission. There were no objections. Clerk Freas was requested to sent the appropriate information and advise Ms. Forbes of her appointment. D-5. Parks & Recreation Commission Councilman Bannock reported the minutes of the last meeting were included in the packet. The Commission discussed the playground equipment bid. Bannock referred to the 1994 Wrap -Up which was distributed to Council for their review of the activities of the Parks & Recreation Department. Council congratulated the Parks & Recreation Department for their accomplishments in the last year. D-6. Planning & zoning Commission Councilman Smalley reported he did not attend the last meeting. He referred to the action agenda which was included in the packet. Much of the discussion during the meeting was about the rezone request and plat approval for the Richka Park Estates Subdivision.

They will be moving ahead to bring in new exhibits, workshops, storytelling, etc. to the Center. Monfor also thanked the Parks & Recreation Department for their wrap-up. Monfor suggested more information in regard to programs KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 19, 1995 PAGE 14 offered, etc. should be advertised through newspaper articles, etc. Monfor suggested a display be compiled for all the city departments and be presented at a Chamber luncheon. Mayor Williams suggested the display be ready for his June 7 State of the City address at the Chamber. Administration was directed to compile a display presentation for June 7. Beautification Committee - Councilwoman Swarner reported the minutes of the last meeting were included in the packet. Swarner noted the Committee is lacking one member and referred to the application of Linda Overturf which was included in the packet. Swarner reported Overturf lives outside the city limits. Swarner requested Council to consider allowing one or two people from outside the city limits on the Committee. Councilman Smalley stated he had no objection to allowing members on the committee from outside the city limits of Kenai. Williams requested the appointment of Overturf to the Committee. Council had no objections. ITEM E: MINUTES E-1. Regular Meeting of April 5, 1995. Approved by consent agenda.

Purchase Orders Exceeding $2,500 MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED to pay the purchase orders over $2,500 and Councilman Measles SECONDED the motion. Councilwoman Monfor asked how long the restroom door would be off at the airport. Airport Manager Ernst answered they are going to use Polymar and replace the framework. This will make the door sturdier. VOTE: There were no objections. SO ORDERED. H-3. Approval - Assignment of Lease - Lot 3, Block 1, General Aviation Apron/From Vernon Lofstedt, Jr. to James A. Munson. MOTION: Councilman Measles MOVED for approval of the Consent to Assignment of Lease, Lot 3, Block 1, GAA, from Vernon Lofstedt, Jr. to James A. Munson. Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. Administrative Assistant Kim Howard reported this and the H-4 contracts are to replace the assignments which were approved at the last meeting. SouthCentral Air has two leases -- one in their corporate name and one listing the individual's name. The lease in the corporate name does not need an assignment. The lease in the corporate and individual's name needs the individual's name changed to Munson. The assignment needs to be dated prior to the security assignment. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 19, 1995 PAGE 16 Howard also reported the people are current and Attorney Graves stated he has no problems with the requests. VOTE: Councilman Smalley requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. H-4.

MOTION: Councilman Measles MOVED for approval of the Assignment of Lease for Security Purposes and Councilwoman Monfor SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. H-5. Discussion - South Spruce Street Beach Park. Monfor asked if the plan has been presented to the Parks & Recreation and the Planning & Zoning Commissions. Also, how long would it take to implement the plan. Williams stated nothing has been started in regard to corresponding with the private property owners to discuss the possibility of purchase or donation of those properties. Williams requested Item H-7 be discussed at this time because it coincides with the beach park project. H-7. Discussion - Water and Sewer Projects and Grants. Council referred to a memorandum included in the packet from Public Works Director Kornelis and an attached listing estimated costs for STP and Water/Sewer Project. The listing also offers information of remaining funds from water/sewer line grants. The information was reviewed and discussion continued. Kornelis explained the listing (identified above) showed leftover DEC funds from the Thompson Park Interceptor and Water/Sewer Line projects. DEC has stated that two restrooms would be grant eligible (Cunningham and Beach Parks) using interceptor funds. The restroom at the ballfield would be eligible for water and KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 19, 1995 PAGE 17 sewer line funds. To use the DEC funds, the City will have to apply for reallocation of the monies within 120 days. Kornelis reminded Council these are 50/50 matching grants. Kornelis reported Enstar wants an additional payment of $48,000 for the Thompson Park project. The City has paid them for what they asked for at the beginning of the project. They stated a mistake was made in their estimate. Kornelis suggested $61,000 could be requested to be reallocated by the Legislature to cover costs for some of the projects. Kornelis referred to a lift station grinder pump which is needed due to the usage by the prison. Councilwoman Monfor suggested this cost should be discussed with the State if the prison is the reason why the lift station is needed. Discussion continued in regard to usage of leftover funds and proposed projects. Mayor Williams requested two lists be prepared for him for first thing in the morning. One list would include water well costs -- the bottom -line amount needed. Another list would indicate projects for use of funds which might be reappropriated by the Legislature. Williams requested Council's approval for the compilation of the two lists. Williams added the biggest concern is the water well project. Williams added, if funds are not received from the Legislature, the City can always ask DEC to reappropriate their funds. Bookey asked if they reapply for the DEC funds, how much of the funds can be received. Kornelis answered approximately $273,000. Williams stated they will be trying to get water improvement funds by appropriation or reallocation. It will be very hard to get $1,37+ through capital grant funding. Monfor stated she understood that but believed the legislators were already informed what funds the City was requesting and for what projects they would be used by way of the City's brochure and back-up information. Williams explained the one list would say what the bottom -line amount is needed to develop the water well -- water system improvements. Monfor suggested asking to pass a bond. There are other items on the brochure that would require less funding. Monfor added she did not feel comfortable doing what Williams suggested. Williams explained he would not want to ask for anything but water/sewer money at this time. If all else fails, they could present a bond issue to the public later. Monfor stated she disagreed because KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 19, 1995 PAGE 18 of the time and effort already put into notifying the legislators of what the City requested and felt doing this would circumvent that effort. Smalley asked what happened to the available monies Ashley Reed suggested would be there. Williams stated the monies are not there. Reed is well -aware of what is going on and is working very hard for the City. There are lots of political problems that go beyond the capital budget. Williams again requested permission for the compilation of the two lists -- one for Reed to present to the legislators as a bottom -line amount. The other list, regarding reappropriations, would be kept separate and only used as a last resort. Another option is to bond for the water well. Williams added the Challenger bill is in jeopardy. The legislators want to end the session on May 20. Williams noted there were no dissenting comments. Further discussion on Item H-5: Williams stated he agreed with Monfor's suggestion that the ideas should be presented to the Parks & Recreation and Planning & Zoning Commissions. Swarner asked how long it would take to get a permit from the Corps of Engineers. Kornelis answered, several months. Swarner asked if the work could get done this year. Kornelis stated no. Williams requested direction for Administration whether to discuss the sale or donation of privately -owned properties to the City in regard to the proposed South Spruce Street Beach Park. Kornelis referred to the map included in the packet and added the "Meeks" trail ends with Mission Street. A parking lot has been created on Inlet Street on City land. There is a future possibility of Kenai Avenue making a loop back to Spruce Street. Monfor stated she liked the plan and would like to go forward with it. Williams suggested waiting until after May 15 (closing of the legislative session). Direction was given to Administration to apply for the Corps permit and contact the private property owners and offer the KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 19, 1995 PAGE 19 Borough appraised value for their beach property and include an explanation of what the City is hoping to do. H-6. Discussion - Government Services Television Network. City Manager Manninen referred to information included in the packet regarding a video program purchase. The Police and Fire Departments subscribe to similar programs. Manninen explained he did not have funding available in his budget. The price has been stated as an annual fee of $1,560. Manninen added believed this would be a worthwhile purchase as a training tool. Williams asked who the tapes would benefit. Manninen answered, all city department in regard to the safety program. Bookey asked if purchase of the tapes would save a large amount of travel costs. Manninen answered it would cut some of the travel costs. MOTION: Councilman Measles MOVED to purchase the subscription and try it for one year as he felt it could be worthwhile. Councilwoman Monfor SECONDED the motion. It was noted there would have to be a transfer from the General Fund. VOTE: There were no objections. SO ORDERED. H-8. Discussion - Set Board of Adjustment Hearing Date/Hall Quality Builders, Integrity Surveys Appeal of Planning & Zoning Commission Action. Councilman Smalley explained Clint Hall of Hall Quality Builders, Inc. submitted a request for a rezoning of an area adjacent to Woodland Subdivision. Hall requested the property be rezoned from Rural Residential (RR) to Suburban Residential (RS). Along with the request for rezone, Hall submitted a plat for the subdividing of the property as an RS zoned property. The rezone request was objected to by many of the residents Woodland Subdivision. The Commission's disapproved the request for rezone. The property stayed as an RR zone. The plat was KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 19, 1995 PAGE 20 also disapproved as it did not conform to the RR zone. Hall has appealed the decision of the Commission in regard to the plat. Williams stated the City would not have to take up the plat issue because the City is only advisory in regard to planning. Graves stated Hall still had the right to appeal the decision. Graves added he has discussed the matter with Hall's attorney. Hall is to submit another plat to Planning & Zoning. Smalley stated it was his understanding the new plat would be for an RR zone. Bannock stated the Board of Adjustment hears appeals and allows for a second look. Williams suggested holding the setting of the hearing until the May 3, 1995 council meeting. Williams requested a letter be sent to Hall which will inform him of the Council's plan. EXECUTIVE SESSION (If time and scheduling allows, the yearly evaluations of the City Manager, City Clerk and City Attorney may be held.) MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED to convene in an executive session of the council of the City of Kenai concerning matters which by law, municipal charter, or ordinance, are required to be confidential. Smalley requested in addition to the council and mayor, the city attorney be present. Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. EXECUTIVE SESSION: 10:07 P.M. BACK TO ORDER: 10:45 P.M. Councilman Measles reported the purpose of the executive session was to perform and evaluation of Attorney Graves. In the evaluation, council have Graves a unanimous vote of confidence for the job he is doing. Council likes what he is doing and he likes his job. Thank you Attorney Graves. ITEM I: ADMINISTRATION REPORTS I-1. Mayor a. Kenai Peninsula Borough Proposed Overlay District ordinance. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 19, 1995 PAGE 21 Williams reported he attended a subcommittee meeting regarding the proposed overlay district ordinance. After discussion and comments from Vince O'Reilly, the subcommittee members voted to recommend to the Assembly the lower 4.3 miles of the River be excluded from the ordinance. After the vote, members of the subcommittee asked Williams if he believed the Council would make a change in their perspective with the removal of the lower 4.3 miles. He was also asked why he had not go ahead with arranging a joint meeting with the assembly. Williams reported he told them there would be no overlay district in the City of Kenai. They asked if the City would want to create a memorandum of understanding. Williams added the question of a temporary restraining order came up. He advised him Council was still investigating that possibility. Williams added he believes they are cutting the issue in half. They now want to take away one-half of the authority. Bookey stated he agreed with Williams. Williams added, two of the assembly members voted no because they didn't want part of the City and part out of the district. Williams stated he spoke with Molly McCammon of the Exxon Valdez Spill Council. They discussed the lower and upper portion of the Kenai River owned by the City. The Spill Council has investigated trading or purchasing of lands along the River. The Council has approximately $300 million for purchase of lands for habitat protection. Williams stated he suggested they buy the City lands along the river. With receipt of the money, the City could set up their own permanent fund. Bookey stated he thought it was an interesting idea, however, he would not be interested in selling any property below the bridge. Williams stated only property above the bridge. The property could be worth $15 million. Finance Director Brown stated the "permanent fund" is already in place in the Charter. The money would have to stay in reserve. Williams added the sale of the property would cover the loss of municipal assistance and revenue sharing funding received. Smalley stated he believed it should be investigated. Bookey agreed. Williams added McKammon stated they were only interested in working with willing sellers. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 19, 1995 PAGE 22 Williams directed Manninen to begin correspondence with the Spill Council. I-2. city Manager a. U.S. Representative Don Young visit - Manninen reported he had a short conversation with Representative Young during his recent visit which could be very productive to the City. He requested Young's assistance in having the Corps dredge the mouth of the River and also discussed bluff erosion with him. Manninen reported Williams stated the City's need for $1.2 million for cleaning the water. Young referred the matter to Peggy Arness and he (Manninen) will speak to her in the next few days. Manninen also reported he discussed the possibility of getting the FAA to release the street sweeper to allow it to be used on city streets instead of only on the airport. Manninen has requested a package of information from Airport Manager Ernst to forward to Rep. Young to see what he can do. Manninen added he does not want to alienate the FAA, however. Council consensus was to go forward with the discussions in regard to the street sweeper. I-3. Attorney No report. I-4. city clerk Clerk Freas referred to a brochure distributed to Council regarding a seminar on record management sponsored by the University of Washington. Freas stated plans to attend the seminar as it will have a lot of information about the optical disk equipment. The seminar is being offered in a number of cities, of which Anchorage is one. However, the timing to attend the one in Anchorage will not coincide with vacations already planned by employees. Freas stated she would attend the seminar given in Portland, Oregon on June 4 and 5. I-5. Finance Director Finance Director Brown stated the purchase of the video which City Manager Manninen discussed earlier in the meeting, will KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 19, 1995 PAGE 23 require a resolution to transfer funds. He will have a resolution on the next agenda. I-6. Public Works Director Public Works Director Kornelis reported a pre -construction conference was held on the airport taxiway project and dock leases. Councilman Smalley reported he received a telephone call from a constituent who was upset that the overflow parking area had not been plowed. He asked if the City would be plowing that area. Airport Manager Ernst answered his assistant keeps the area plowed when the street crew can't. He had it plowed, but it was very muddy underneath. He has received an estimate to place Ty - Par and fill on it in the summer. This amount was not included in his budget. The amount would be $6,500. The work will need to be done as there is always overflow parking required. I-7. Airport Manager a. Towing Contract - Airport Manager Ernst referred to the letter included in the packet from Affordable Towing. The letter requests the contract with the City be canceled. Ernst asked the buyers of the company if that is what they wanted to do. They want to continue the contract with the City. The contract ends in February, 1996. Bookey asked if there were any problems in doing this. City Attorney Graves stated he believed the contract could be assigned for now and then put the contract back out to bid in February. Council stated no objections. b. Enplanements - Ernst referred to his month -end report included in the packet. Ernst reported enplanements for March were up since last year. C. AIP Funds - Ernst reported there are $509,944 AIP funds available after the purchase of the sander/plow and costs for the update of the Master Plan. He has discussed this with Dave Johnson (FAA) and was told it would be advantageous to the City to encumber these monies. A bill has been introduced in Washington that will end the AIP funds. Ernst reported he would KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 19, 1995 PAGE 24 prepare a pre -application for a taxiway extension and phase the project for completion. They could fund $1 million for the project, however, that would still be $1 million short. He will try to get $1 million discretionary funds. It is possible there will no longer be carry-over funds either. He will keep the Council informed. Bannock questioned why another coffee shop could not be placed in the airport. Ernst answered due to FAA regulations and the lease agreement with the restaurant lessee. Bannock stated his concerns that the City may be missing out with not having an espresso -type business in the airport. Competition is good. Also, Bannock was concerned that the restaurant was not open as much of the day as it should be. Ernst answered, the restaurant has an espresso machine, and that the restaurant is open very early in the morning but closes about 3:00 p.m. There is not enough business to warrant it being open after 3:00 p.m. Councilman Measles added the Council made a decision some time ago that they wanted food service in the restaurant as a service to the public, even if the City didn't make any money. They made that decision with the bar as well. Williams added, placing a separate espresso business in the airport would lessen the money- making ability for the restaurant lessee. Ernst also added the restaurant lessee has an exclusive right to the food service. Williams told Bannock he could talk with the person interested in placing an espresso business at the airport and suggest that he talk with the restaurant lessee about a work venture. Bookey suggested this could be discussed when the lease comes up for renewal. Bookey added the bar does not stay open when it should either. He went there on a Saturday evening, at about 7:30 p.m. and it was closed. Council has given special consideration to the lessees and they are not keeping with their obligations. Bookey added he kind of agrees with Bannock. Maybe the airport can only support a hot dog stand and espresso business. Bannock asked if there was something in the airport leases about the hours to be opened for business. Ernst stated the restaurant lease requires the business to be open during normal business hours. The bar addresses a time period when it needs to be closed. Ernst added he agrees the bar should be open. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 19, 1995 PAGE 25 ITEM J: DISCUSSION J-1. Citizens Bob Peters - Commended Councilman Smalley on his memory about Ashley Reed's remarks made earlier in the year. Peters added he thought, from Reed's remarks, there would be a lot of money available and he would be the man to get it for the city. Peters suggested when Council discusses renewing Reed's contract, they may want to buy books or subsidize the airport restaurant instead. Peters also stated he, as a citizen, was not adverse to having a bond issue for water well development. Peters suggested that the airport restaurant could pay a percentage on his receipts as the car rentals do. Williams stated the car rental agencies pay a square footage price for counterspace. Peters stated he felt it a worthy cause to repair/replace the roof at the Kenai Arts building. J-2. Council Bookey - Bookey questioned when the trophy case would be removed from the chambers. Kornelis answered, he was told by the maker that they would come today and move it to the Visitors Center. Bookey asked if the maker of the case had taken the City's offer. Kornelis answered he did not know. He would call again. He believes they are considering taking the $1,000 which was offered and move it to the Visitors Center. Swarner - Asked if the City had contacted the telephone company in regard to placing a pay telephone at Cunningham Park. McGillivray is to check on the placement of the telephone. Swarner reported she would be out-of-town from April 28 to May 21. Swarner requested City mail and packets be kept for her at City Hall. Monfor - No report. Measles - No report. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 19, 1995 PAGE 26 Bannock - Asked if the City had ever considered payment of water/sewer bills by automatic charge to credit cards. Finance Director Brown stated no. Swarner stated the City would be charged a fee to do it. Brown added the City takes credit card payments for fuel at the dock only. They haven't thought about automatic credit payments, but have discussed taking a credit for a regular payment at City Hall. There would be a 3% loss. Bannock added some companies have found a benefit in using the automatic payments. Smalley - Reported there was a very nice letter from KCHS student, Kara Pike, which was printed in the Peninsula Clarion. The letter discussed the library service to the community. Smalley also reported there would be a teleconference at the Legislative Information Office in regard to the RIP bill, HB270.

This seems unnecessary to me if no square footage is added, or the exterior is not altered, or the occupancy is not changed, to an existing building that is only being remodeled or upgraded. This not only slows up the permit issuance process, but many times contractors will submit valuations for construction of $9,900, or less when the true value is probably higher. Therefore, I request a change in KMC 14.25.020 to exclude the above mentioned instances from P8Z approval in order to expedite the permit issuance process. The proposed Resolution is attached.

Manninen, City Manager FROM: Kim Howard, Administrative Assistant DATE: April 27, 1995 FOR: May 3, 1995 Meeting RE: Dairy Queen Facility - Conceptual Approval of Plat, Assignment of Lease and Lease Approval Please review the attached letter from lessee Pete Ischi regarding the Dairy Queen Facility. A preliminary map is also attached. The Ischis have a lease for this facility that will expire on March 31, 2000. The property was recently appraised subject to a five-year renegotiation clause in the lease. The appraiser stated the following: In this case, the site is improved with a 2,100 square foot restaurant building. Its land to building ratio is 43:1 which is much greater than the typical ratio of 5:1 to 10:1 for this type of building. In other words, the site size is in excess of that normally required to support the existing improvements. The improvements are located at the northwest corner of the (lot) and it appears possible to split the lot and sell off or separately develop the east half of the parcel. The two resulting parcels would probably share a common driveway. Their dimensions would be approximately 150' x 300' which is typical of the market. Because the east half of the parcel is not necessary for the income generated by the improvements and could be developed separately, it is considered to be excess land. Cody Mishler is interested in leasing (and possibly purchasing at a later date) the "excess land," shown as B-2 on the attached map. For this to transpire, the following steps must be taken: (1) Survey and plat approvals; (2) A review appraisal (to determine the value of each lot, with improvements; (3) Approval of the apprai.3al for proposed Lot B-2 (by the Federal Aviation Administration); (4) Council approval of an assignment of a portion of the lease; and (5) Amendments to the lease adjusting the legal description and the rent. A new lease with Mishler should be entered into for the new lot. Mishler would have a commercial water service put in across the back of the lots from Main Street, at his cost. Sewer is available from the State right of way on the Spur Highway. This will be a complicated and expensive process. Therefore, before proceeding, the Ischis and Mr. Mishler wish to know if the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council agree to the concept. The applicant expects to be at the Council meeting to answer any questions you may have. Does the Kenai City Council recommend approval of this concept? The Planning and Zoning Commission discussed this issue at their April 26 meeting and had no objections. Enclosures cc: Pete Ischi Cody Mishler lkh C:\WPDOCS\LEASES\ISCHI.CNL AECENV'ED CITY ACMiN.

Williams ,,,,a�n�d Kenai City Council From: Thomas J. Manninen, City Manager�W'� Date: April 25, 1995 ``�� __ RE: PROPOSED SALE OF BLUFF VIEW LAND FROM THE KENAI BIBLE CHURCH TO A PRIVATE PARTY OR TO THE CITY OF KENAI At a recent meeting with Pastor Morris Fischer, John Ruby, Keith Kornelis and myself, there was a discussion about the church offering some of its bluff view property for sale to a private party. The church representatives indicated a private individual's interest in purchasing property. The church officials wanted to offer the same purchase opportunity to the city of Kenai, or at least to find out if any city interest existed in such a purchase. Since it would cost nearly $5,000 for a commercial appraisal, the church has not gotten an appraisal of the property yet. Of course, any city acquisition would require an appraisal. WHAT IS THE CITY COUNCIL'S POSITION ON ACQUIRING ANY OF THIS KENAI BIBLE CHURCH PROPERTY FOR CITY PUBLIC PURPOSES, I.E., TOWNSITE HISTORIC, FUTURE BLUFF VIEWING AREA, OR OTHERWISE? The opportunity may be but only for a short time acquisition. The church property that is being considered is approximately one acre, off Main Street and Riverview, and is located to the east of Louisa Miller's house, owned by the Kenai Bible Church. It is good bluff view property, but it is also sloughing off. YOUR CONSIDERATION, DIRECTION AND ACTION IS NEEDED FOR CITY STAFF TO PURSUE THIS OPPORTUNITY WITH APPRAISALS. cc: Keith Kornelis, Public Works Director Kim Howard, Administrative Assistant Cary Graves, City Attorney Charles A.

Fireweed Lane, Suite 250, Anchorage AK 99503 (907) 279-1783 Fax: 276-3887 April 27, 1995 Mayor John J. Williams Manager City of Kenai 210 Fidalgo Ave., Suite 200 Kenai, AK 99611 Dear John: The Alaska Wetlands Coalition (AWC) is asking for your community's support. The AWC is seeking resolutions addressing wetlands regulatory reform from each community in Alaska, to assist the Alaska congressional delegation's efforts to reform national wetlands policies. The Alaska delegation has been working hard for many years to amend certain provisions of federal wetlands regulation. Wetlands reform legislation is pending or close to introduction in both houses of Congress. The legislation supported by the Alaska delegation has language specifically relieving Alaska from the most burdensome provisions of current regulations. Even with strong bipartisan interest, the Alaska delegation needs your help to demonstrate communities in Alaska firmly support wetlands regulatory changes. The current Congress has the best chance in years to pass wetlands regulation to help Alaska. Many communities throughout Alaska often have no alternative to "wetlands" for development. You are probably aware that approximately 170 million acres, nearly half of the state, are classified as wetlands and over 99% of Alaska's wetlands remain untouched and intact. Current wetlands policy in Alaska stems from regulations established to solve problems elsewhere in the nation. Enclosed with this letter is a wetlands resolution passed by this year's Alaska State Legislature. Please turn to it for language in adopting your community resolution. It's important that the delegation receives resolutions prior to the Memorial Day congressional recess. Please send your community's resolution directly to the AWC by May 22we will forward it to the delegation. Please call if you have questions or need assistance. Thank you very much for your involvement and support. It makes a difference.

The Council feels strongly that this bill will give the Commissioner of Natural Resources greater authority to modify oil and gas royalty rates to help open up marginal oil fields to development. HB 207, as passed by the House of Representatives by a significant margin, provides the flexibility in setting royalty terms for marginal fields. This flexibility will encourage the State and the industry to work together to change the economic equation for marginal fields, bring on new fields, extend the life of existing fields and build a stronger economic base for the future. The Kenai City Council fully supports HB 207 (as passed by the House) as it is a tool which the State can use to enhance competitiveness of projects in the world market, attracting investments necessary to develop its oil and gas potential. Alaska will benefit from new jobs, long-term revenues and increased economic activity associated with the development of new fields. This bill, as passed by the House of Representatives, should not be significantly amended or substituted as suggested by the Senate Resources Committee and needs to be passed this year.

Please take the time now to support a major RDC legislative priority Contact the key senators listed below and urge them to support HB 207 as passed by the House -- not as proposed in Wednesday's Senate Resources Committee Substitute Oil and Gas royalty adjustment legislation, HB 207, recently passed the Alaska House of Representatives by a 35-2 margin. The bill, which would give the Commissioner of Natural Resources greater authority to modify oil and gas royalty rates to help open up marginal oil fields to development, is now in the Senate Resource Committee, chaired by Senator Loren Leman. HB 207, as approved by the House, would provide flexibility in setting royalty terms for marginal fields. Flexibility in royalty terms would encourage the State and the industry to work together to change the economic equation for marginal fields, which could bring on new oil fields, extend the life of existing fields and build a stronger economic base for the future. Alaska and its people will benefit from new jobs, long- term revenues and increased economic activity associated with the development of new fields. HB 207 is a tool the State can use to enhance the competitiveness of projects whose funding might otherwise go abroad. It sends a clear signal that Alaska aims to be competitive in the world market to attract the investments necessary to develop its oil and gas potential. It provides the flexibility needed in working with investors on a case -by -case basis to overcome Alaska's unique challenges and make new development and production a reality. RDC encourages you to contact your legislators NOW in support of this bill's passage during the current legislative session. A strong show of support is necessary if the bill is to reach the Senate floor before the end of the session. When contacting your legislators, urge them to: • Support HB 207 so Rasped by the House but not so proposed by the Senate Resources Committee Substitute, The House version is a good bill that should not be signifioantly changed. It needs to paps this year.

He needs to be reminded that we remember promises and hold people accountable. Send a fax to Senator Leman saying that after 30 hours of public testimony in the House, this legislation has been worked enough. The original House Bill 207 needs to move out of Resources, on to Finance and then to the Senate floor for a VOTE. We need to be LOUD AND CLEARI There will be additional public hearings scheduled.

MANNINEN, CITY MANAGER FROM: `�f �r �-DANIEL L. MORRIS, CHIEF OF POLICE SUBJECT: QUARTERLY REPORT DATE: APRIL 28, 1995 During the first quarter of 1995 calls for service have decreased slightly from 1411 on 1994 to 1353 in 1995. The total number of offenses reported has gone from 560 in 1994 to 532 in 1995. (See attachment) The largest decrease has been in part III crimes which includes warrants and traffic offenses. I attribute the latter to being down two patrol officers. One officer is currently in the Field Training Program and we are in the process of filling a vacancy left by a retirement. Traffic accidents are up slightly from 100 in 1994 to 110 in 1995, but injuries have dropped from 24 in 1994 to 15 in 1995. On April 13, 150 Mountain View Students graduated from the D.A.R.E. Program at a ceremony attended by approximately 200 parents. The guest speaker was from the Anchorage FBI office. Larry Porter from Phillips Petroleum presented a check for $2,000.00 to support the D.A.R.E. Program. The radars, video cameras, and portable breath testers purchased through a grant have been installed in patrol cars and are currently in use. The Department is still participating in the "Accident Free Days" and "Cops in Shops" programs, funded through Highway Safety Grants. rite rrrl �CIC?c' - MONTH _ YEAR PARTI HOMICIDE --------------- RAPE ------------------- ROBBERY -------------- io�cra 11-)_ ASSAULT------- - DOMESTIC ASSAULT----- BURGLARY ------------- LARCENY__..__ i� "`-S!Lv-c, _ MOTOR VEHICLE THEFT_ TOTAL PART I ____-_- PART 111 Reported Actual Cleared arrest Prior Year Offenses Unfounded Offenses or exceptional Year to Date to Date D I WARRANT ______________ TRAFFIC ---------------- CUSTODY --------------- FUGITIVE --------------- TOTAL PART III _ TOTAL 1, 11, 111 Reported Offenses Unfounded Actual Offenses Cleared arrest or exceptional Year to Date Prior Year to Date Ili 14 Lj ® O n O �a� r► i t 53a (oo MONTH - YEAR PARF!!

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Alaska Association of Municipal Clerks opposes BB 247 as it is currently written for the following reasons: RESOLUTION NO.95-001 Page 1 of 3 Pages APR 14 '95 06:13PM FNSB CLERK'S OFFICE P.2i3 1. BB 247 fiscally impacts all municipalities and becomes an unfunded state mandate by causing additional ballot layouts and types of ballots; mapping; and probable litigation costs resulting from apportionment. 2. The State of Alaska Division of Elections would be fiscally impacted by having to redraw precinct boundaries to coincide with the Municipal reapportionment plan, and to provide voter registration lists for each precinct in each municipality as the State VREMS computer program is not capable of multi political subdivisions. 3. Most municipal school boards have a different number of members than the governing body of the same municipality. Overlapping districts for school boards and governing bodies will create confusion for the voters and difficulty in conducting and canvassing those elections. 4. Most first and second class cities do not have a voter population that warrants mandating single -member districts. It would be cost prohibitive to the State and to the Municipality to divide a city such as Skagway, which is currently one precinct with 627 registered voters into 7 different precincts with approximately 90 voters per precinct. 5. HB 247 places home rule municipalities out of compliance with their charters. 6. This bill shortens the length of time that municipalities have to address reapportionment following the official report of a federal decennial census. Local government are held to a shorter time frame than the State of RESOLUTION NO.95-001 Page 2 of 3 Pages APR 14 '95 06:13PM FNSB CLERK'S OFFICE P.3/3 Alaska for reapportionment, causing further confusion and difficulty in conducting elections. For example, following the 1990 census, the State of Alaska apportionment plan did not become final until mid 1994 causing precinct changes in 1990, 1992, and 1994. PASSED AND APPROVED THIS 31 ST DAY OF MARCH, 1995. a J. CM&AAE, Pre ident Al a Assoc lion of Municipal Clerks RESOLUTION NO.95-001 Page 3 of 3 Pages MAR 21 '95 03:32PM P.1 SPONSOR STATEMENT House Bill No. 247 is intended to provide better representation on local government bodies and school boards. While the U.S. Supreme Court has held that multi -member districts are not unconstitutional, it also holds that multi -member districts should not be used where single - member districts are more conducive to better representation and conforming more to the Voting Rights Act. The Court has generally ruled in favor of single -member district whenever multi- member districts have been challenged under the Voting Right Act, concluding the multi -member districts dilute the voting power of certain groups or areas. As cited by Circuit Judge Bright in Chapman v. Meier (372 F. Supp 371, D. ND 1974) and later held by the U.S. Supreme Court, there are many advantages in single -member districts elections, including: 1. Single -member districts prevent borough -wide political organizations from proscribing or disciplining elected representatives who stray from political lines. Municipal elections in Alaska are suppose to be non -partisan but reality is, local elections are very political. 2. Single -member districts make it easier to compare fewer candidates and make direct communications with elected officials easier. 3. SingIe-member districts prevent one political arm with a healthy majority in one or two potential districts from dominating the election of candidates in districts that might narrowly elect a candidate with different political viewpoints. 4. Campaign costs are reduced, campaigns become personalized, and greater citizen interest in seeking public office exists. 5. Public officials become more responsible for their actions by eliminating the team politics encouraged by at -large assemblies. During public hearings and in written comments received by Governor Nickel's Advisory Reapportionment Board in 1991, Alaskans overwhelmingly supported single -member districts. BB 247 will allow the same benefits to Alaskan voters in elections of city council, borough assembly and school board members as is afforded them in electing state representatives and state senators.

Washington, D.C. 20515 RE: KENAI IS REQUEST TO CLEAR FAA ADMINISTRATION HURDLES TO LET KENAI RENT AND USE AN AIP FUNDED SWEEPER ON CITY STREETS Dear Congressman Young: Attached is the city's request to clear FAA regulation hurdles to allow the city of Kenai to utilize the AIP funded street sweeper on the city streets on a rental basis from the city's general fund. Your help in expediting this simple rental request to allow the city to rent the AIP funded sweeper from the city's airport is a last resort. Apparently, FAA regulations prohibit this use even if the city pays a fair market rental fee to the airport fund (see attachments). It seems simple, but somehow the FAA regulations disallow this kind of city use. Please see the attached audit report, FAA regulations and the statutory requirements denying such usage. Your help and assistance to clear this bureaucratic red tape is needed. Please advise, so that I can report to the Mayor and City Council in a timely manner. Your good offices and help is urgently needed. Sincerely, Thomas J.

Current Year Finding Federal Aviation Administration Airport Sweeper AIP 3-02-0142-09 Findina It came to our attention that the airport sweeper was used to clean some of the City's streets. Administrative requirements found in the Common Rule, Subpart C, require that FAA purchased equipment only be used at the airport. Recommendation The City should ensure that any equipment purchased with FAA grants be used exclusively at the airport. Ren1Y The Acting City Manager has issued a memorandum to City department heads regarding the use of federally funded airport equipment. The memorandum lists all federally funded equipment and directs that this equipment can only be used at the airport.

Brown, Acting City Manager 9 (� DATE: October 9, 1992 SUBJECT: FAA Financed Equipment Attacned is a memo from me directing that equipment purchased with federal (FAA) money can not be used off the airport. Since I will not be available at the October 21, 1992 Council meeting, some explanation is in order. I have suspected for quite some time that the use of FAA financed equipment on City streets was in conflict with federal regulations and various grant agreements. I also believed that it was only a matter of time before the auditors or FAA personnel discovered the violation. The issue became public knowledge this summer upon the arrival of the new airport sweeper. The sweeper was used extensively on City streets. This fact was discussed at a City Council meeting and was reported in the local newspaper. This will be a "finding" in the federal audit report. The report will be distributed to the inspector general of the Department of Transportation. My directive is being issued now so that I can respond to the "finding" directly in the audit report. In this way, the audit report will note the corrective action that the City has taken. This will probably satisfy the DOT/FAA, and should prevent them from taking serious action against the City. You and I have no choice in this matter. There are no alternatives. If we do not take this action, the FAA will demand repayment for all the airport equipment and, most likely, we will not receive AIP funding until we come into compliance. The FAA will not even allow the general fund to pay rent to the airport for use of the equipment. It is simply prohibited. I've asked Keith to write a memo to me outlining the effect that this will have on the Street Department. We will discuss this later. We may also develop a rental rate for the airport to pay the general fund when street equipment is used on the airport.

The following is the formula they use to determine their rates: Cost of the sweeper _ thirty-six month payoff = Basic Rate Basic Rate + $2,500 per month for replacement parts and maintenance cost = Rate before profit margin. Rate before profit margin + a 22% profit margin = Final Rate. $102,000.00 _ 36 = $2,833.00 + $2,500.00 = $5,333.00 x 22% = $1,173.00. $5,333.00 + $1,173.00 = $6,506.00 Rounded off = $6,500.00 per month. I believe a fare rate for the airport to charge the City is $4,633.00 per month. I base this figure on eliminating the profit margin and substituting $1,800.00 per month as a maintenance cost. Mike Wichman says the $1,800.00 would cover city shop cost to maintain the sweeper on a monthly basis. The proposed monthly rental rate of $4,633.00 for the Airport's Eldgen Sweeper is subject to FAA approval. (Verbal approval of proposed monthly $4,633.00 rental rate was given by James Perham via telephone at 1:00 p.m. on 4/13/95.). tK i CITY OF KENAI it Od eCniW 4 4144od*4611 210 FIDALGO AVE., SUITE 200 KENAI, ALASKA 99611-7794 ~ TELEPHONE 907-283-7535 FAX 907-283-3014 ar "2 P(x �— c- � V 4" JO CL L4 V-�—ITt:7-" Wit Lzttti�i 4tit`l '� I�� • ILc K S -7 bv-,r MEMORANDUM To: Thomas Manninen, City Manager From: Randy Ernst, Airport Manager Date: April 20, 1995 Re: FAA Response to Off Airport Use of A.I.P.

Nevertheless, it's up to people to do everything they can to forestall the decline, Assemblyman Ron Drathman said recently as he sat at his office desk flipping through a stack of statistics that tell the tale of a river in trouble. "The Kenai (River) is one of the most beautiful natural assets we have and it's get- ting damaged," Drathman said. "According to the experts, 10 to 15 percent of the habitat already is lost." Drathman is spearheading the assembly ordinance that would create a buffer zone in the floodplain along the length of the Kenai, inside which the borough would exercise some con- trol over development and land use. Peninsula residents have shown mixed feelings about the so-called Kenai River Overlay District. Many favoring protective controls say they're long overdue. Others say "zone" is a four-letter word and vocally op- pose government controls over private prop- erty. Many simply wish Drathman would go away and mind his own business. The Kenai River is a good 1 1/2-hour drive from Homer. Although many local an- glers use it, it isn't exactly in Homer's back- yard. So why is an assemblyman living roughly 80 miles away leading the charge to protect its banks? He gets that question a lot these days, Drathman said. His answer stems from his desire to leave something of Alaska's pristine beauty to his children. Human activities along the river are harming its natural ecosystem, he said. Never mind that the harm is caused by people who have nothing but love forthe river. The Kenai's location, beauty and resources have led to rapid development on public and private land in its floodplain and each year its fish runs draw armies of anglers to its fragile banks. "Fact is, we're loving the Kenai to death," Drathman said. Data from the Department of Fish and Game's Habitat and Restoration Division would appear to support that view, he said. According to research by Lance Trasky, the division's supervisor for Region Il. about 27 percent of the 166 miles of the river's main See DRATHMAN, Page 13 I 3�j TONY KNOWLES, GOVERNOR ,17 DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE ANCHORAGE.

Since Patrick L Sharrock Director (907)277-8638 Certified Mail cc: City of Kenai Thursday, Apri1,20, 1995 HOMER MEWS ... Drathman leads river -protection effort FROM PAGE ONE stem shows some kind of damage caused by people. About a third of that can be found on public lands — land owned by the federal, state, borough or city governments — while the rest occurs on private property. Most of the damaged areas are located within the 50 miles between the river's mouth and Skilak Lake where most development has occurred. Trasky said "development" includes all types of altered habitat such as attempts to stabilize banks, the construction of boat docks, ramps, jetties, decks and the like. It also includes areas denuded by fishermen who line the river's banks by the hundreds during fishing season, Trasky said in a letter to Drathman. Studies of the river going back a decade or more all show the same thing — the habitat is being degraded, Drathman said. Ultimately, that doesn't bode well for the river's most attractive feature — its salmon. Those salmon are caught by many Homer anglers — whether they be for sport or commercially. The river's best salmon -rearing habitat can be found within six to eight feet of the bank, Drathman said, pointing to Fish and Game studies. Yet that critical area is the most vulnerable to development and sport-reiated activities, he said. "Destroy the bank and you destroy the fish. Destroy the fish and you'll have a dead river like every other river in the Northwest," he said. Foot traffic can be devastating to the bank ecosystem, according to reports cited by Drathman. The first to suffer is plant life. When the vegetation disappears, so do the insects on which fish feed. Eventually, the bank falls into the river, changing the hydrodynamics of the shoreline. The speed of the water along the banks gets faster, eventually reaching a velocity that fingerlings can't fight, Drathman said. Drathman admits the proposed regulations at the heart of the overlay -district proposal don't fully address foot -traffic damage, and fixing that may require other legislation someday. However, he points out that the proposed district rules would require the borough Planning Commission to ensure that streets, easements and pedestrian ways within the district are designed to minimize degradation of the bank and protection areas. It also calls forerosion-control measures and would place pathways at least 50 feet from the shoreline or on elevated walkways or boardwalks, for which property tax credits would be given. The overlay district's main thrust will be to control commercial and private development on public and private land within the floodplain, Drathman said. Commercial and private construction and development have contributed a share of the pollution problems harming the river and shoreline. he said. In its current form, the proposed law would prohibit outright certain kinds of development within 50 feet of shore called the "bank area." For instance, there could be no logging or the clear -cutting of vegetation, no new homes built, nor groins, jetties, bulkheads or boat tamps erected. Neither could land that close to the river be used for land fills, dumps, storage yards, industrial manufacturing, fuel storage or grazing. Storage restrictions would apply to home owners on private property. too. For instance, homeowners could not store herbicides, pesticides or toxicants except for use in their own gardens. Not all development within the bank area would be precluded, however. A variety of uses would be allowed but would require borough permits which could carry restrictions. Some projects such as ladders, platforms, boardwalks, floating docks, and other things would be allowed provided they were designed to protect shorelines and reduce erosion. In addition, access to sanitary facilities, day -use areas and campsites would be permitted, along with effluent -holding tanks, storm drains, roads and parking lots. Beyond the 50-foot bank -area line, the ordinance would create a region called the "protection zone." It would extend from the margins of the bank area at least 100 feet, or to a line describing the 100-year flood plain, whichever is greater Within that area, greater disruption of the natural condi- tion of the land would be allowed, but that, too, would be subject to conditions attached to a borough permit. Many of the uses prohibited in the bank area would be prohibited in the protection zone, as well, including logging or the clear cutting of vegeta- tion, land fills, dumps, junkyards and the like. Also, storage of hazardous wastes and construction materials would not be allowed in the floodplain. Opponents of the ordinance don't like the proposed penalty for violating the law. Engaging in prohibited activities could gamer a fine of up to $1,000 a day, the ordinance says. For now, the opponents control the political battlefield, arguing that its provisions don't address the most apparent damage or its cause — the destruction of the river bank by hordes of anglers during salmon season. Instead, it proposes to limit development by landowners on private and public land. That would affect everyone from home owners, commercial enterprises and municipalities along the Kenai's banks. Ad hoc groups of property owners and officials with the city of Kenai are fighting the law. It's been that way, more or less, since the ordinance was introduced last fall. Then, it looked like a relatively simple and straightforward proposition — make a few rules, protect the fish — Drathman admitted. Writing the details and getting people to agree on them, however, has proved anything but simple, and for now, the ordinance is in a kind of limbo. On April 4, the assembly voted to postpone action on the measure at least until May 16. Meanwhile, the assembly has asked Mayor Don Gilman and the borough Planning Commission to review the measure and make recommendations. On Monday, in a speech before the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce, Gov. Tony Knowles announced plans to pour $2.9 million into improvements to recreational access to the river, including items such as new ladders and boardwalks, boat launches and docks, parking areas and riverbank protection, and another $6.7 million into habitat maintenance and restoration projects, including the acquisition of riverside acreage. He noted efforts by the assembly to create the overlay district. "I want to applaud their efforts." Knowles said. Drathman said he thinks passing some kind of zoning ordinance for the river is possible this year now that the governor has come out in favorof it. He said some property owners had expressed concerns that the state might not be committed to the Kenai River protection proposal. The governor's address should have laid those concerns to rest, he said. "He's the head guy," Drathman said. "Once he's commit- ted, his departments will be obligated to follow suit."

In an effort to be as efficient as possible concerning the development of a housing authority or community development corporation, I have submitted papers to have the Kenai Peninsula Opportunities (KPO) become the Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) for the Kenai Peninsula Borough. This decision comes after careful consideration of comments and direction from members of the task force, the panel of experts at the last meeting, and personal recommendations from the City of Kenai and Borough mayors. With EDD as its parent company, the KPO will bring instant recognition on a local, state, and federal level. The EDD has been involved with funding agencies in our government offices for more than seven years and has created an exceptional track record. A resolution has been set before the Board of Directors of the KPO to approve this decision. The meeting of the Board will take place April 27, 1995 at 1:30 P.M. in the council chambers at Kenai City Hall. Meanwhile, I have submitted papers to the Rural Community Assistance Corporation (RCAC) for technical and development assistance. In order to better position ourselves when the service is in place, please write or fax me with your suggestions of: 1. Targeted Populations: Low -Income, Very Low -Income, Homeless, Renters, Special Needs, Families, etc. 2. Type of Assistance: Community Outreach, Program Planning, Construction Oversight, Project Feasibility, Funding Application Preparation, Identification of Funding Sources, etc. 3. Training: Pass -through Funding, Training Workshops, Direct Technical Assistance We must also discuss feasibility studies, economic impact studies, creation of a business plan, and entity structure. However, these items may come during the training process with RCAC. There exists the possibility of acquiring assistance through several HUD programs for technical assistance, as well. I will schedule a meeting of the Steering Committee, volunteers from the last meeting including yourself, after I have received and assembled your comments, suggestions, and questions.

Copies of the official 1995 application may be obtained by calling 1-800- 223-6004. Note, however, that this year's filing deadline is 5:00 pm Mountain Time, Wednesday, April 19, 1995. Presented since 1949 by the National Civic League and sponsored since 1989 by The Allstate Foundation, the All - America City Award is the oldest and most respected community -recognition program in the United States. Cities, counties, villages, owns and townships, rural and metropolitan regions, and neighborhoods are eligible and encouraged to apply for the Award. Meeting recently in Washington, D.C., the Board of Directors of the National Civic League decided that the expanded eligibility for the AAC Award Program merits a more expansive title for the designation. Thus, beginning with the 1996 program cycle, the award will be known formally as "All -America Community." Application Process The first step in applying for the All -America City Award is to examine the entry form closely. Applicants must describe in detail three relatively recent community projects or programs with demonstrable, tangible results, carried out with a high degree of citizen involvement and collaboration among the public, private and nonprofit sectors. In addition to a brief community self -evaluation according to the National Civic League's ten -point Civic Index criteria, the 11-page application form requires basic demographic and economic statistical informa- tion. All communities applying to the program, whether or not they are selected as Finalists or Winners. receive a detailed evaluation of their applica- tions, which many applicants find useful when preparing future entries. In addition to active citizen involvement and cross- sectoral participation in local governance, criteria for the All -America City Award include: recognition and engagement of diverse segments of the community's population (e.g., ethnic, racial, socio-economic, age, educa- tional level, etc.); creative utilization and leveraging of community resources; selec- tion of projects that address key community needs; cooperation across jurisdic- tional boundaries; evidence of power sharing by traditional leaders; and clear demonstra- tion of project results and impacts. Assistance to Applicants To aid communities in preparing their All -America City Award applications, NCL offers the All -America City Yearbooks from 1991 through 1994, which describe in detail the achievements of past Award Winners and Finalists, as well as an informational videotape prepared by The Allstate Foundation. Year- books are $10.00 each; the videotape is free with the purchase of a Yearbook. Applicant Screening A screening committee of public and community affairs The All -America City Award will be used to promote Philadelphia and get more visitors and companies into Philadelphia. We are proud of this award, which recognizes all the good that goes on in this city. 9! — Edward G. Rendell, Mayor, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania experts will meet in Washing- ton, D.C. on May 5-6 to select 30 finalist communities. who will be invited to send delegations to present their three community projects before the All -America City Jury on June 23-24 in Cleveland, Ohio. Final Selection Both the written applications and the Jury Presentations are evaluated against the demographic realities of each community. Consequently, the nature and scale of the undertakinss described in the application should parallel an objective assessment of the community's size, resources and capacity. Thus, commu- nity size and composition alone have little bearing on a community's prospects for winning the Award. The 1994 All -America Cities, in fact, ranged in size from Taos, New Mexico, population 4,000, to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, population 1,600,000. Benefits of the Award Each year, All -America City Finalists and Winners receive wide coverage in newspapers and on television and radio, both within their regions and across the country, For local citizens, the Award means recognition for a job well done. This sense of community pride and accom- plishment can assist communi- ties substantially in retaining and attracting residents and employers alike. The AAC logo carries strong national recognition, trumpeting that the communities licensed to use it have been judged among the best in the United States for problem solving at the local level. In addition to local marketing efforts undertaken by Finalists and Winners, the National Civic League and The Allstate Foundation conduct annual media and publicity campaigns on their behalf. Moreover, communi- ties earning the All -America City designation from 1990 through 1994 received the ultimate recognition: personal presentation of commemora- tive plaques by the President of the United States at the White House.

D.C.- based division of the National Civic League, is working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and pilot communities to help ensure that recipients of food program assistance have the skills and informa- tion needed to derive the greatest benefit possible from USDA food subsidies. Maximizing Nutrition Recognizing that participants in such programs generally receive little help in determining how to maximize both the quantity of food and the quality of nutrition their food dollars can buy, USDA's Food and Consumer Services agency (FCS) decided last year to use collaborative, community -based partnerships to provide more and better nutrition value.

Eight of the pilot communities are urban (Contra Costa County, Calif.; San Bernardino County, Calif.; Denver, Colo.; Tallahassee, Fla.; New York, N.Y.; Philadelphia, Penn.; Dallas, Texas; and Seattle, Sharing the Tools of Collaboration The Program for Community Problem Solving is also a key player in another collaborative project, known as "Together We Can," which will provide training and technical assis- tance in collaboration skills on an unprecedented scale. Collaboration across Agencies and Sectors PCPS, in partnership with the Institute for Educational Leadership, California Tomorrow, and the Child and Family Policy Center, seeks to build the capacity to collabo- rate in ways that cut across federal agencies, serve all the sectors of communities in which federal programs operate, and respect diversity. PCPS also will prepare non- proprietary training materials for wide distribution. Year One: Planning and Development During the first year of Together We Can, the partners will develop training materi- als, conduct pilot training programs, draft and field test a "training -for -trainers manual," and develop a five-year plan. Fund raising for Together We Can is still underway, although substantial philan- thropic resources already have been committed. Project organizers hope to succeed in implanting a new paradigm for federal program and cross-sectoral effective- ness in communities.

NCL and Local Foundations Hold Colorado, UPDATE: .. i Alliance for National Renewal `lealthy Communities Profile' Conference he second annual Colorado Healthy Communities Initiative (CHCI) Healthy Communities Profile Conference was held on February 23 and 24, 1995 at the Adam's Mark Hotel in downtown Denver. Funded by The Colorado Trust. CHCI is a five-year, $6.8 million effort designed to develop community -defined and community -implemented strategies for addressing health and quality -of -life issues in local and regional communi- ties throughout Colorado. The Colorado Trust has contracted with the National Civic League to administer the Initiative. The National Civic League provides participatory planning assistance to commu- nities selected to participate in CHCI. A total of 28 commu- ties have been selected for participation, entering the Initiative in two-year cycles, the first of which began in 1993. Healthy Community Profile The conference focused on one particular aspect of the CHCI community -based planning process: the methods and reasons for developing a Healthy Community Profile (HCP). A HCP is a written description of the current, overall health status of a community, expressed in quantifiable data. Eight communities were selected in late 1994 to participate in the third and final two-year cycle of CHCI, including Boulder, Chaffee, Custer, Kit Carson, and Summit Counties, as well as the 1-70 Corridor' (which includes the cities of Bennet, Byers, Deer Trail, Strasburg, and Watkins). Lafayette, and the San Luis Valley (including Alamosa, Conejos, Costilla, Mineral, Rio Grande, and Saguache Counties). A "Cvcle" of the Colo- rado Healthy Communities Initiative includes a year -long community -based health planning process, with meeting -facilitation and other services furnished by the National Civic League. Following the planning phase, communities become eligible for project -implementation grants from The Colorado Trust. Additional implemen- tation assistance is then available from NCL. Projects undertaken by communities participating in Cycles I and II have ranged from growth management and regional cooperation to medical and recreational facilities up- grades. Ensuring Informed Dialogue Representatives of these Cycle III communities attended the conference, which emphasized building the skills necessary to translate visions for achieving healthier communities into specific, fact -oriented questions that a HCP can answer. Other topics addressed by the conference program included tips on selecting and collecting the types of data that are most relevant to the HCP, means of integrating and connecting data so they more accurately reflect community conditions. and methods of packaging and reporting information that permit citizen -based planning bodies to make sound deci- sions. Doug Easterling, research and education officer at The Colorado Trust, outlined a strategy for formulating research questions that relate to a community's vision. Terri Bailey and Richard Rainaldi, both research officers at the Denver -based Piton Foundation, a co- sponsor of the conference, discussed types of indicators relevant to a Healthy Commu- nity Profile, the qualities of suitable indicators, and sources of primary data. Diane Peck, communica- tions officer at the Piton Foundation, summarized ways to market a HCP through use of the media. In addition, representa- tives of communities selected for participation in Cycles I and 11 of the Colorado Healthy Communities Initiative contributed valuable insights and first-hand knowledge on the effectiveness and useful- ness of constructing a HCP, based on their health planning and project implementation experiences.

National Conference on Governance Returns to Denver in'95 Mark your calendars! The 101st National Conference on Governance (NCG), the annual conference and membership meeting of the National Civic League, will take place October 5-7, 1995 in Denver, Colorado. Following NCL's highly successful centennial conference last November in Philadelphia, the NCG returns to NCL's headquarters city this year for the first time since 1989. The Alliance for National Renewal (ANR), a nationwide initiative to catalyze commu- nity -based, cross-sectoral action, held a meeting of "stakeholder" organizations on February 23 and 24, 1995, in Washington, D.C. More than 130 individuals from organiza- tions participating in ANR attended the two-day working session, which focused on outreach, education and technical assistance activities of this broad -based, collabora- tive initiative. The activities of ANR are guided by five working teams: Dissemination, which plans means of distributing substan- tive information on grass -roots activity taking place across the nation; Local Efforts, which focuses on stimulating, linking and replicating community - based projects; Public Aware- ness, which directs outreach and strategies for involving more individuals and organi- zations in ANR; Institutional Renewal and Stakeholder Network, which fosters greater communication and exchange among organizations partici- pating in ANR; and Youth Action Council, which coordinates strategies for engaging young people in ANR and other community - betterment activities. ANR offers two products for individuals and organiza- tions interested in getting involved in National Renewal. A Guide to the Alliance for National Renewal ($2.00) explains and illustrates the initiative, and lists the stake- holder organizations currently involved. Ninety -Five Things You Can in Do in '95 ($5.00), a poster -size wall calendar, presents a range of "renewal activities" anyone can do to spread the message and spirit of National Renewal.

Winter '95 REmEw: New Visions of Public Participati, 1 mphasizing the critical importance of defining both community and community interests — as identified by community residents themselves — the Winter 1995 issue of the NATIONAL CIVIC REVIEW examines the new and evolv- ing aspects and challenges of citizen participation in local and regional governance. Symposium feature articles appearing in the Winter 1995 issue of the REVIEW include: • "Beyond the Melting Pot: Preserving Culture, Building Community," by Harold DeRienzo. The notion of assimilation is antithetical to participatory self-government in that it denies the potential contributions of diverse cultural perspectives, submerg- ing them within the broader context of political majorities and stripping them of meaning. The key to inter -cultural coexistence through participa- tory democracy is the recogni- tion of culture as the essence of human endeavor, expressed in respect, recognition of differences, and inclusion. • "Wither or Whether the American Dream," by Marshall Kaplan. Traditional American values — among them equality, fellowship and commitment to the common good — however illusory or idealistic they may at times have seemed, nonetheless constituted the "social glue" that has permitted us to mobilize as a people throughout our history. Our collective future is threatened by our inability to speak responsibly of the public interest. • "Pulling Together: Creating a Constituency for Change," by David D. Chrislip. The ability of communities to collaborate in framing and solving shared problems depends on broad inclusion. Even those who do not participate must know that their interests are represented. • "Federal Policy and Community Involvement," by Mark Pisano. If national policies can be implemented in ways that respect the integrity of regional commu- nities and acknowledge the essential relationships among individuals in communities, America can be healed by advancing both social and economic interests. • "Looking for Commu- nity on the Internet," by Evan Schwartz. What are the human needs that electronic social environments — L irtual communities set-up on the Internet — seek to satisfy' What are their potential for encouraging the reinforcement of community in real space and time? A key observer of "cyberspace" ponders these questions. Following these sympo- sium articles is the third installment in a four-part series by former National Municipal League executive director William N. Cassella, Jr. In "National Civic League and Intergovernmental Relations," Cassella traces NCL's long- time preoccupation with sub - state regionalism. Despite evolution and refinement. NCL policy in this arena continues to emphasize the notion that solutions must be tailored to the unique characteristics and history of individual regional communities. Additionally, Robert J. Parsons of Brigham Young University reprises a 1990 REVIEW article on human needs assessment. noting that local decision makers, in developing policies and allocating limited resources, can not presume to know the needs of their communities and client populations in the absence of accurate, current information. Departments Five regular departments. including News in REVIEW, Proportional Representation, Government Performance, Public Finance, and Book Reviews, follow the feature articles summarized above. The Proportional Representa- tion department features an extended article on the United States Justice Department's history of response to modified at -large voting plans submitted for preclearance under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act to remedy vote -dilution com- plaints. The Government Performance and Public Finance departments also include extended essays, e use of total quality manag ment in city government, and the fiscal stress of growth management on smaller local governments, respectively.

And now, despite having succeeded in convincing Con- gress and the Forest Service to preserve more than two- thirds of the forest's old growth into exclusive domains for wildlife and recreational users, environmental groups have launched yet another public -opinion campaign depicting the Tongass as a last stand of ancient trees about to be shattered by clearcut loggers looting a national treasure. "Stop the Looting of Alaska," read the banner headline on a full -page advertisement in the New York Times last month. Representing the latest volley in the endless battle between preservationists and those who work in the woods harvesting trees, the ad was sponsored by a San Francisco -based coalition of environmental groups. It also ran several times in the Capitol Hill newspaper, Roll Call. "The Tongass National Forest in Southeast Alaska is a major partof the world's last great intact temperate rainforest," read the ad. "But now, the trees are being clearcut and loaded onto ships for export to Asia. As the ancient forest is lost, so are the deer and the bear." The ad included a clip -and -mail coupon inviting readers to join the "Alaska Emergency Response Team" for $25 or more. "We must have a way of stopping the few who try to ruin the quality of life for the rest of us — and that includes the looting of Alaska's public lands," the ad said. Media reports gave the advertisement prominent cover- age and billed it as the beginning of a new public -opinion campaign against big oil and timber. (Continued to page 4) /7 More than 3,500 jobs in Southeast Alaska are directly tied to the timber industry, the largest year-round employer in the region. Dollars from timber harvesting multiply into thousands of spin-off jobs, purchases, services, tax payments and more. Photo by Carl Portman Campaign to promote opening of ANWR's Coastal Plain One of the most well -supported policy directives in Alaska is for its elected officials to fight hard on opening the 1002 area of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). There is no doubt that ANWR is a long-term effort. The seeds of education and persua- sion have been sown many seasons before this. The task has never been easy, but the timing has never looked better. Alaska's Congressional delegation The Resource Development Council (RDC) is Alaska's largest privately funded nonprofit eco- nomic development organization working to de- velop Alaska's natural resources in an orderly manner and to create a broad -based, diversified economy while protecting and enhancing the envi- ronment.

Writer & Editor Carl Portman leadership has never been more com- pelling nor well -positioned to help Alaska in this effort. Their guidance has been instrumental and will con- tinue to shape our efforts. Governor Knowles has continued to forge ahead on his ANWR efforts. Under his recently -released ANWR pro- gram, there will be a variety of strate- gies and projects undertaken, many similar to those initiated under former governors. Governor Knowles said a well- known Alaskan will be put in charge of the door-to-door effort with Congres- sional offices and a coordinator will be hired to manage the effort under the direction of the Commissioner of Natu- ral Resources. John Katz, longtime counsel and director of the Washington office of the Governor, has a vast his- tory on the issue and will also be in- volved in the Congressional outreach. Our favorite single -issue group, Arctic Power, is continuing its key in- volvement of educating America on the nation's energy future with regard to Alaska production. The Governor's of- fice will continue to fund the group to coordinate tours of ANWR for key offi- cials and staff. Bringing people to the North Slope to see for themselves has been a powerful tool of persuasion over time. New informative materials will be created to make Alaska's case. Excel- lent and accurate charts, graphs and technical information will be distributed to fight the misinformation campaign on ANWR, which has been loud and long from the opposition. The merits will be presented again and again to anyone who will listen or vote. Alaskans must win in a variet• forums, not just Congress. The Pre... dent and many undecided officials must agree it is in the nation's best interest to explore and develop the coastal plain of ANWR. Alaskans have been working for years to also convince the general public, the media, friends and relatives of the same thing. Maybe it is time to reap the fruits of our labors. Alaskans need to give their support and encouragement to Senator Stevens, Senator Murkowski, Con- gressman Young and Governor Knowles for their combined strength of effort to open the 1002 lands to orderly development. Arctic Power will coordinate congressional tours of ANWR this summer. The tours include Prudhoe Bay operations, as well as the village of Kaktovik, which is located adjacent to the Coastal Plain of ANWR. Pictured is Kaktovik and the nearby Air Force radar which looms over the Coa. Plain. Photo by Carl Portman Page 2 / RESOURCE REVIEW / April 1995 Legislature heads for home stretch With roughly a month left in the legislative session, the hardest work still lies ahead on many of RDC's legislative priorities. We are entering the time of the yearwhen important decisions are made quickly. People and organizations who are most able to respond quickly are the most effective in the final days and weeks of the session. This year's legislative leadership and new administration have already achieved a number of major accom- plishments. Governor Knowles an- nounced late last month a state -spon- sored campaign to educate Congress and others on the merits of opening the Coastal Plain of ANWR to oil and gas development. And earlier this session, both houses of the Legislature passed a resolution requesting Congress to increase statutory flexibility on wetlands use in Alaska. There are still many leqislative RDC board members met with Governor Knowles, Senate President Drue Pearce, House Speaker Gail Phillips and other legislators during a recent visit to Juneau. Pictured above are Dan Keck, Lyle Von Bargen, Elizabeth Rensch, Jim Weeks, Governor Knowles, Becky Gay, Dave Parish, Thyes Shaub, Ken Freeman and Carl Portman. items that remain to be dealt with, including: • State Budget: State expenditures still exceed rev- enues by roughly $500 million. The State cannot afford to continue living beyond its means, a situation of concern to all resource development industries. As the Legislature and Governor attempt to deal with the problem, serious discus- sion of meaningful solutions usually evokes loud opposition from special interest groups. Let the Legislature know what you think needs to be done. • HB 121: The salvage timber bill has passed the House and Senate and has been sent to the Governor. RDC sup- ports this bill and believes it will serve as a vital forest management tool to help manage dead and dying forest in Alaska. Opponents of logging are hitting the Governor's Office hard, so please weigh in with your support of HB 121. • Royalty reduction legislation: HB 207, the Governor's royalty incentive bill, recently passed the House Resources Committee and was in the Finance Committee at the time of this writing. It was expected to reach the House floor around Easter, before heading to the Senate. HB 207 would encourage production from smaller fields and prolong the production life of declining fields and would encourage the state and the industry to work together to change the economic equation for these fields. The bill sends a positive message and could enhance Alaska's ability to compete for investment capital. This bill is no doubt one of the major items of legislative interest this session. Jim Palmer, Director of External Affairs at BP Exploration (Alaska), Inc., will brief the RDC member- ship on this issue at the Thursday, April 20 breakfast meeting in Anchorage. Call RDC for updates on the bill and be ready to send in your fax in support of it. • Waste disposal permits: HB 128, a bill applying to waste disposal permits and the granting of exemptions for certain activities, is in Senate Rules, its last committee of referral. It is expected to reach the Senate floor, but the new administration may not be favorably inclined to support this legislation. RDC and the Alaska Miners Association both support the bill. • HB 169: This bill, which recognizes DNR as the lead agency for mining, has passed the House and is now in Senate Resources. With bills moving through committees on adaily basis, it's important to check with RDC for up-to-the-minute progress reports. The most important thing RDC members can do on these issues is speak up and be counted. April 1995 / RESOURCE REVIEW / Page 3 Loggers face new assaults on declining timber base (Continued from page f ) In a scathing editorial, the Voice of the Times in Anchorage called the ad "unadulterated garbage," labeling it as "yet another fund-raiser to save Alaska from Alaskans." "Environmental alarmist groups have become a dime a dozen in recent years," The Times said. "New ones pop up every day. Unfortunately for Alaska, half of the swarm of fear mongers has targeted this state to `save."' The Alaska Forest Association (AFA) called the ad unfair and mislead- ing, and said it continues to give the public the wrong impression that the Tongass is in peril. "Environmental groups should work to strike a balance and notjust shut down access to resources," said Chris Gates, Executive Director of AFA. "Unfortu- nately, the public isn't getting objective and accurate information. People who contribute to these campaigns truly be- lieve Alaska is under assault and they feel compelled to respond with their hard- earned dollars to save what's left." But perception is often not reality, Gates warned, explaining that only a fraction of the forest has been disturbed by logging, which provides 30 percent of the private -sector jobs in the region. "Under the most aggressive har- vesting plan proposed, 80 percent of the old -growth forest will still be intact in the year 2015, and two-thirds will never be touched," Gates said. Through the passage of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Actof 1980 (ANILCA), Congressclosed all but 1.9 million acres of the 17 million - acre national forest to cutting, leaving two-thirds of the 5.7 million acres of commercial -forested lands for the ex- clusive domain of wildlife, fishermen and recreational users. Ten percent of the Tongass, about 30 percent of the forested land, was supposed to be dedi- cated to supporting timber -dependent communities through the harvesting of perception versus reality Many Americans believe the Tongass is an ancient rainforest on the brink of destruction from out -of -control logging. In reality, most of the forest has been and will remain closed to logging. Total Area: 17 million acres Productive timberland: 5.7 million acres Open to logging (100-year cycle): 1.7 million acres Logged since 1954: 340,000 acres timber on a 100-year rotation cycle, meaning that areas logged in this cen- tury would be grown back and ready for a second harvest in the next century. That was the plan —the supposed "final balance" struck by Congress, en- vironmental powers and timber inter- ests — but it hasn't worked out very well for communities dependent on logging. Not content with a 90 percent share of the pie, preservationists have relent- lessly launched, since the passage of the ANILCA compromise, a series of public -opinion campaigns designed to Tongass National Forest Productive timberland Productive timberland in Tongass scheduled for logging 100-year cycle 250% 23% ❑ ❑ Area of Productive Area of Tongass timberland logged logged since 1954 since 1954 2% 17% a 0 create fear and the perception of a forest threatened by out of control, non - sustainable, logging. The campaigns were successful in establishing the Tongass as a "cause." Well-meaning citizens from coast to coast responded to passionate and emotional pleas to "save" the Tongass, which they came to believe was a last stand of ancient trees. Hundreds opened their wallets to the cause of silencing the chain s In 1990, Congress passed t.._ Tongass Timber Reform Act, which added additional land to the no -cut Page 4 / RESOURCE REVIEW / April 1995 "There is no such thing as an :ient forest. A forest isn't something you can freeze in time, all trees die, only to grow back again. People should have access to a reasonable number of trees to support forest -dependent communities." Chris Gates Alaska Forest Association zones. Thousands of acres bordering salmon streams, beaches, scenic pas- sages, critical wildlife habitat areas and muskegs were put into buffer strips prohibiting logging. Formulas on how timber was to be paid were changed and a new allowable mix of high and lower -value logs was established. The )d result of the reform package and .,absequent administrative decrees was yet a smaller timber base for loggers, tighter environmental standards on in- dustry operations and rising costs to log lower -quality trees in more remote, higher -cost areas. The siege on the timber industry didn't stop there, it only intensified. In response to new legal challenges and still more pressure from environ- mental groups, the Forest Service fol- lowed the Tongass reforms with addi- tional cut backs in the amount of timber it was suppose to make available to industry from the small, remaining slice of the Tongass open to logging. In what was widely -viewed as a political move by the Clinton administration, a long- term and vital timber supply contract was canceled last year. Mills have since been forced to close, more than one - thousand Alaskans have lost their jobs and local communities dependent on timber dollars have been shaken. "There has been a series of com- promises over the years and with each settlement the loggers end up losing yet another slice of a shrinking timber base," said Troy Reinhart, Industrial Relations Director for Ketchikan Pulp Company. Ketchikan Pulp, which holds the only remaining long-term timber supply contract in the Tongass, is suf- fering from a shortage of logs due to administrative appeals and litigation filed by environmental groups on timber sales. In recent months, there has been yet another new round of land with- drawals, which has only served to tighten the noose around timber -de- pendent communities. In September, the Forest Service Two-thirds of the commercial forested lands, which includes the bulk of the old -growth forest, is closed to logging. Only ten percent of the entire Tongass National Forest is open to logging. announced intentions to withdraw an additional 600,000 acres of new habitat conservation zones in the Tongass, in response to a petition filed by Arizona environmental groups demanding that the Alexander Archipelago wolf and the Queen Charlotte Island Goshawk be listed as threatened under the Endan- gered Species Act. The petition was considered most unusual and set a precedent since not only is neither ani- mal endangered orthreatened, but sub- stantial hunting quotas are allowed on the wolf. Yet the petition worked as the Clinton administration has pressed for- ward with the new withdrawals, which close approximately a third of the slice of the forest reserved for harvesting. The Forest Service, however, in spite of a seven-year effort to amend the Tongass land management plan, says the new no -cut zones are "short- term" measures, expected to stay in place pending scientific studies and the completion of the plan. But most com- munities believe the 600,000 acres will remain closed. Just last month, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reported that the wolf does not qualify as a threatened spe- cies because the best available infor- mation indicates its population is stable, but the agency said its preliminary find- ing was influenced by the Forest Service's decision to move forward with the new conservation areas. This ac- tion is seen as a ploy to justify the habitat withdrawals in spite of no evi- dence to support listing of either the wolf or goshawk. A decision on the goshawk is expected in May. "The Forest Service has yet to dem- onstrate the need for habitat conserva- tion areas and such extensive protec- tion for goshawk nests," said Gates, the Alaska Forest Association Executive Director. "The unwarranted removal of 600,000 acres is a huge blow to the Southeast Alaska timber industry and the individuals and communities sup- ported by timber dollars, and should not be forced on the region without a dem- onstrated need." Meanwhile, Regional Forester Phil Janik is expected to make a decision soon about the implementation of the conservation zones. Senator Ted Stevens, however, has recently won approval of an amendment in a spend- ing bill that would prohibit the Forest Service from spending money to set up the habitat zones for animals that have not been declared threatened or en- dangered. The funding prohibition would delay the establishment of the zones through September 30, the end of the 1995 fiscal year, but it may not survive the Clinton veto pen. The amendment would allow 300-acre buffers around active goshawk nests. Environmentalists are enraged over the Stevens' amendment, claiming that substantial additional protections even beyond what the Forest Service has proposed are needed to ensure healthy wildlife populations. But with so much of the forest now closed to logging and reserved for habitat protection and rec- reational uses, loggers strongly oppose (Continued to page 6) April 1995 / RESOURCE REVIEW / Page 5 ICONIaG, �NC- x0 A n "gip!„ ,rr « �1� � Mc '� � , 'a � n , �, wed � � °r • 4 AL ,*A .ti M, ad„.+...... . « .R kr • u Y' w ^i. �.,' . d' ,may, ..� ,. a7�' " . r M A er — , w .y .`.�.. .,, , „w,sr~t,�.n'd', � w ,teats '':,: '""i '=�"w."`.' .,. ., '•wer.,t�. .�w .,.� .m,.... ,., .....

Under the provision, all states with "substantial" con- served wetlands would operate under a less stringent wetlands permitting standard. The provision would allowfor states to develop one acre of wetlands for every 10 acres of wetlands set aside in a conserved status. The new provision would allow for the use of an additional six million acres of wetlands in Alaska because over 60 million of the state's 170 million acres of wetlands are in conserved status. Less than 200,000 acres of wetlands have been developed in the state. Under the new provision, Alaskans would still be required to minimize wetlands losses, however, they would not be required to avoid wetlands and mitigate for wetland losses under the 404 Clean Water Act permit process. The same minimization rules would apply to State and Native corporation lands. Young said the provision would streamline the permitting process and reduce the wait for government permits and clear- ances. The provision was adopted bythe House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee which is working on the clean water bill. Similar legislation has been introduced in the Senate by Senators Stevens and Murkowski. RDC and the Alaska Wetlands Coalition is working closely with the congressional delegation on the wetland bills. Escort vessels considered for Cook Inlet The U.S. Coast Guard has established a task force to deter- mine whether tanker escorts are needed in Cook Inlet. The task force will include a wide range of stakeholders, including industry, local communities, government agencies and environmental groups. The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 mandated tanker escorts for Prince William Sound, Puget Sound and other waters, if necessary. The Coast Guard is now in the process of determining which waterways inthe nation itwill propose for tanker escorts. Earlierthis year, the Coast Guard solicited comments from the public on whether the escorts should be required in Cook Inlet. RDC has told the Coast Guard that a dedicated response vessel already exists in Cook Inlet and that the need for escort vessels is unwarranted. RDC noted Cook Inlet is a low volume port because of limited tanker traffic, and will continue to be so given trends in declining oil production. RDC also pointed out that ships have many navigational advantages in Cook Inlet, which is a large, open area of water, which gives ships considerable room to maneuver without the immediate threat of collision. Due to the Inlet's shallow water, smooth bottom and currents that run parallel to the shoreline, a ship can anchor if problems arise, RDC noted.. State oil and gas lease sales RDC has expressed strong support for proposed oil and gas lease sales covering state land and water in and around Cook Inlet. RDC believes Alaska still has enormous untapped energy potential and urged DNR to move forward with the sales. RDC is also encouraging the U.S. Minerals Management Service to move for- ward with federal OCS lease sale 149 in lower Cook Inlet. A number of RDC members also commented in support of the lease sale, responding to a March Action Alert on the issue. A-J submits new schedule and plan Echo Bay Mines has submitted a schedule and plan of new alternatives to the EPA to address concerns expressed by the federal agency in the TAR report released earlierthis year on the re- opening of the A-J Mine near Juneau. Major items being considered are alternative tailings disposal sites and eliminating the use of cyanide. ANILCA Title XI regulations The National Park Service is expected to release new draft regulations for Title XI of ANILCA later this month. The draft regulations are the result of a lawsuit which the Trustees for Alaska lost in U.S. District Court. TFA appealed to the 9th Circuit, and then Assistant Secretary of Interior George Frampton withdrew the regulations. RDC and the Alaska Miners Association, represented by Pacific Legal Foundation, supported the NPS in its original regula- tions. Glavinovich to head AMEREF Geologist Paul Glavinovich was elected President of the Alaska Mineral and Energy Resource Education Fund (AMEREF). Glavinovich, a member of the RDC Executive Committee, was elected to the post last month at AMEREF's annual board meeting in Anchorage. David Stone, Director of Public Affairs for Echo Bay Mines, was elected First Vice President and Teresa Imm, Resource Develop- ment Manager of Arctic Slope Regional Corporation was elected Vice President. Jim Deagan, an aide to Senator Frank Murkowski, was re-elected Secretary. Allen Bingham, a partner in the account- ing firm of Deloitte & Touche, will serve as Treasurer. AMEREF is a non-profit organization that provides a popular resource education program to schools throughout the state. Follows to head Knik Glacier task force Don Follows, RDC's volunteer tourism director, has been appointed Chairman of a task force studying the proposed develop- ment of a visitor center near Knik Glacier. The visitor center would be built on a ridge about 50 miles northeast of Anchorage with a sweeping view of Knik Glacier. The complex would be connected to the Knik River Road by a low -profile tramway. "I feel this project could establish a wonderful example of the state -private partnership that is necessary for the advancement of tourism in Alaska," said Follows. "It will take all parties working together to accomplish this very worthwhile development concept."

QUALITY OF LIFE. ' hen you stop and think about it, resources play an enormous role in our lives. The newspaper you're reading was made from a tree. The ink on the pages consists largely of oil. And the printing press couldn't have been made without minerals and petroleum products. WHICH RESOURCE DO YOU RELY ON THE MOST? TIMBER. Every time you read a paper or a book, you're counting on the timber industm just look around THE FLTMTRJ0FAi your house. You'll see manv wood products, including tables and chairs, baseboards, and perhaps a toy block or two. ENERGY. Imagine a winter in Alaska without heat. Your comtort depends on gas, oil, timber or hydro- electric power. Lite without gasoline for vour car, boat or airplane may have an adverse ettect on vour lifestyle. Even your bicycle tires are made from petroleum. The list of petroleum -related products you use on a regular basis — fmm fishing rods and rain gear to toothpasteand telephones —is amazingly diverse. FISHING. Life in Alaska can be quite tasty when you sit down to a fresh salmon dinner, or a delicious plate of shellfish MINING. Every time you check the time, you're probably looking at a mineral product. Most watches, jewelry, and wire —. rim glasses are composed of; mineral elements — as are compasses, motorized vehicles, and assorted camping gear. DOES THE ECONOMY RELY ON RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT? A, world demand increases, Alaska will play an increasingly vital role in supplying natural resources. Through sound resource development, Alaska can meet this challenge. And in doing so, we'll generate new jobs and increased wealth for our citizens —and for the nation. This task is not easy and we need vour support. Weigh the facts. Understand the options. And consider the implications for the future. Our natural resources provide the quality of life we enjoy today, and uKai wisely, resources brrrrht all of its. ARe==e Developtnent Council 121 W.

The ALPAR youth little patrol program is supported each summer by a grant from the State of Alaska. This funding enables four students and one supervisor to clean within the City of Kenai and surrounding areas. ALPAR requests that local areas match their grants to enable the most successful cleanup effort possible. To enable this program to continue further into the summer, and to cover additional areas outside the City, the group is approaching Kenai Peninsula businesses for donations. Any amount of money or "in -kind" donations i.e., soda pop, snacks, etc., would be greatly appreciated. Last year, over 70AM lbs. of trash were picked up from roads, streets and parks. Kenai was the recipient of the 1992 Outstanding Litter Patrol award which confirms the enthusiasm and determination this group has towards keeping our city and surrounding areas clean. Your consideration of this request would be greatly appreciated. If you have any questions regarding this program, please contact Laura at the Chamber office at 283-7989. Best regards, Bill Kluge, President Kenai Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors CITY OF KENAI z s FIRE DEPARTMENT t� 105 SOUTH WILLOW STREET PPEVENMON KENAI, ALASKA 99611-7745 (907) 283-7666 • FAX (907) 283-2267 KENAI CITY OF KENAI FIRE DEPARTMENT APRIL 10, 1995 THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF FIRE PROTECTION A fire department is an investment, it is expensive! or is it? If you are like most people, you probably have a view of the fire department that involves firefighting and rescues not unlike the TV show 911. You hope you will never have to call us but you know that if you do have an emergency, maybe a fire or medical emergency, you can call 911. The doors to the fire station will go up and the apparatus roll with well trained personnel, ready to deal with the emergency. But what about all of you who never call us? what do you get for your investment, except maybe a little peace of mind in just knowing we are available. The answer may be a lot more than you think, especially if you are a homeowner or business owner. Lets talk about the hidden value of fire protection. The cost of fire protection has three parts: 1. Fire Loss (Property Damage, Business Interruption, etc.) 2. Fire insurance premiums paid. 3. The Fire Department budget. Fire Protection management is the balancing of these three cost components, to achieve the lowest overall cost to the community. Lets look first at the cost of fire insurance. Insurance rates in a community are based on the level of risk to property as perceived by the insurance companies. one measure is the ISO or Insurance services office Fire suppression Rating schedule. This is a rating given to the level of fire protection available in a given area. A Class 10 is equal to no protection. A Class 1 is "Perfect Fire Protection". In the Kenai area, the ISO Rating is as follows: Within 1000 feet of a fire hydrant system - class 3. within 5 miles of the fire station - Class 3. From 5-10 miles from the fire station - Class B. Beyond 10 miles - class 10. In which rating does your home or business fall? so how do these ratings affect your insurance rates? Fire insurance rates are calculated much like taxes. They are based on the value of your property, usually X per $100.00. Taxes are based on X per $1,000.00. so, by multiplying the insurance rates by 10, we can compare them directly with the tax mil rate. This will make it easier to compare the cost of fire protection and the cost of fire insurance. Insurance rates are presented in mils for the sake of comparison. For comparison we have presented two models based on insurance rates in Kenai. The first is a $100,000.00 residence and the second a $100,000.00 light commercial/office building. First, we must qualify what d Page 2 follows by stating that each insurance company sets it's own rates and rate structures, but what is presented is a reasonable general overview. (Check with your insurance agent(s) to determine the specific rate for your property.) In the chart below, the first number in each column is the estimated annual insurance premium and the second number is the equivalent in mils. COST OF INSURANCE ISO RATING RESIDENCE Class 10 $1,050= Class 9 $ 900= Class 8 $ 700= Class 7 $ 700= Class 6 $ 500= Class 5 $ 400= Class 4 $ 400= class 3 $ 400= LIGHT COMMERICAL/OFFICE $2,150= $2,150= $1,400= $1,400= $1,100= $1,100= $ 950= $ 950= Now, subtract the difference between the ISO Class that applies to your property and a class 10. You can then adjust the amount up or down based on the value of your property in relation to the $100,000.00 models to determine your approximate savings. The fire department budget is $1,117,000.00. If we subtract revenues that come from fees and other miscellaneous sources we are left with that portion funded by taxes. This is equivalent to 2.6 mils. Now, if you compare this 2.6 mils to the insurance premiums saved, we can calculate the cost/benefit relationship. For example, if your residence is on the hydrant system your return on investment is 20% of fire insurance premiums, if it is a commercial property it is 30%. This is a benefit you will receive every year and you never have have to call 911! so what does this mean to our economy? It means the fire department keeps that savings (from premiums) in our community, that would otherwise leave Alaska and go to St. Paul or Seattle or wherever the insurance company is headquartered. This is money that can stay here and help sustain our local economy. And remember, you don't have to be a property owner to benefit. Lower insurance also means lower rent and lower prices in businesses. Costs are ultimately passed on to the consumer. For simplicity we left out two factors. The first is that a significant portion of our budget provides for emergency medical services and the second is we haven't calculated the benefit of the reduction in property loss. If these two factors are taken into consideration, the equation is even more positive. There aren't many investments that can show and sustain its accountability like the fire department.
