As you may recall, there was an appropriation made from city funds in the past to assist in the purchase of materials for this project, but was never used at that time. While the design has been changed somewhat, it should still use all of the same basic materials, which had been estimated at $710. Please consider this my request for a re -instatement of funds at this time, so that this project can prcceed. I plan to complete my construction by January S, 1996. Respectfully, James K.

There were no objections. 80 ORDERED. ITEM B: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMMENT B-1. James McCubbins - Eagle Scout Project. McCubbins stated that he is working toward an Eagle Scout Project and would like to make a sign to replace the sign presently situated at the north end of the city limits. McCubbins requested support from the City for costs and help to replace the sign. Williams stated that McCubbins spoke with him a few days ago. McCubbins presented a material list for costs and spoke with Public Works Director Kornelis. Williams asked McCubbins if he had discussed the project with the State Highway Department. Answer: No, not at this time. Williams stated further that McCubbins needs a preliminary approval of the project from the City prior to his presenting the project to the Boy Scout Council. If the Boy Scout Council approves the project, KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 19, 1991 PAGE 8 McCubbins will then return to the City Council for an official approval of the project. The estimated cost of the project is $710. Kornelis stated that McCubbins spoke with him. Kornelis does not have objection with providing the manpower, etc. requested if Council approves the project. Swarner stated her concern in regard to the watering of the hanging baskets. McCubbins stated that he lives near where the sign will be placed and will probably water the flower baskets. Swarner asked how much money the City donated toward the last Eagle Scout project done in connection with the City. Brighton suggested $500.00. Williams stated that a motion is not necessary at this time, however, a preliminary approval needs to be on the record. MOTION: Councilman Measles MOVED for support of the proposed Eagle Scout project presented and asked that McCubbins move ahead. Smalley SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. Smalley asked for administrative help for McCubbins in handling the required encroachment permit. Kornelis stated that he would help. B-2. Bill Kluge - Change Order No. 1 (Additional concrete) at Bicentennial Center. Mr. Kluge read a memorandum he distributed to the Council. Kluge stated that he feels the Council should redefine its views of a change order. Flexibility to make changes is an important part of the construction process. Unexpected contingencies always develop. Kluge is in receipt of a letter from Kornelis requesting that the mechanical engineer pay for the additional 1/2 inch of concrete. (The additional concrete was requested in his Change Order No. 1 the Council discussed at the June 5, 1991 meeting.) Kluge stated that in his letter requesting the change order, he explained that it was a structural engineering decision to use additional concrete. Wm. J. Nelson, the structural engineer, noticed that they were 1/8" shy of the desired thickness, but felt that it was nothing with which to be concerned. Kluge recommended that additional concrete be used to Suggested by: Administration City of Kenai RESOLUTION NO. 95-77 A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA ESTABLISHING THE AUTHORIZED SIGNATURES FOR WITHDRAWAL FROM DEPOSITORIES OF MUNICIPAL FUNDS.

This Initiative Will Affect Your Businessl • Any commercial fishery harvesting the same fish as sport or personal use fishermen could be closed until the PRIORITY fisheries get all they want. • Some commercial fisheries could close immediately, with others to follow as the burgeoning guided sportfishing industry outgrows existing areas throughout the state. • The entire catch of chinook and echo is less than 5% of the statewide harvest!

KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES Feburary 6, 1991 Page 12 Public Comment: Ken Coleman - Resident of Kenai and representing the Kenai Peninsula Fisherman's Association. Mr. Coleman stated that the Association has approximately 400 members. They are seeking passage of the resolution to encourage no political interference in the Alaska Department of Fish and Game's management of the fisheries or the management plans and regulations established by the Alaska Board of Fisheries. Mr. Coleman informed Council that the Governor has stated that he wants to limit the eastside setnet holders because it "looks bad." There is no biological or economical reason to do this. Mr. Coleman presented facts in respect to the income made from their fishery and stated that most of the money stays in the Borough and local economy. Their Association is supporting a King Salmon protection plan that should be functioning after this fishing season. This plan includes starting a King Salmon protection fund. Approximately 74% of their members have agreed to participate in the program at this time. The new markers to be placed on the buoys was also discussed. The new markers will be easier to check by the Protection people. Jim Arness - Peninsula resident since 1948. Mr. Arness stated that because of the number of setnet and drift boat permits, there is less fishing time for all. He believes that new permits can be regulated by not allowing outside nets. However, he does not believe the amount of permits can be changed at this time. He requested Council to vote no on the resolution. Gary Hershberger - Resident of Kenai. He requested support of the resolution and that Council pass the resolution. He stated that he has owned an eastside setnet permit for over ten years and has invested approximately $150,000 in his business. He does not believe it fair to completely eliminate one fishery that has existed for such a long time. Mr. Herhberger added that he has as much right to be there as anyone else. Rory Roreson - Mr. Roreson stated that if there is an elimination of outside gear, it is the first step to eliminate all of the eastside setnets. He suggested reallocating the drifters. A large percentage of the drifters live outside of Alaska. 10% of setnetters live outside of Alaska. The drifters take more money out of the state. Mr. Roreson supports the resolution. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES Feburary 6, 1991 Page 13 Randy Canady - Mr. Canady works for Tesoro and is also an eastside setnetter. He has lived here for 21 years. He leases a setnet site from the City of Kenai. Mr. Canady supports the resolution. The proposed cut does not affect him and would be a financial gain to him. He believes the administration and fishermen's association need to work together. Gene Palm - Vice President of the fishing association. Mr. Palm stated that all should not lose sight of what is going on. Administration has said that "facts don't matter." Mr. Palm stated that it is not fair to cut one -quarter of the participants out of the industry. This is not due process. Mr. Palm is in support of the resolution. Councilman Walker asked why Section 3 of the resolution is included. Mr. Coleman stated that it is there because the Governor has received an opinion from the Attorney General stating that the Governor can dismiss the Board of Fisheries members if he wants and get new people that will carry out the Governor's agenda. Mayor Williams stated that the Governor is new at this business and manages the administration more like private industry. Mayor Williams suggested that when permits have been purchased from the State and when the State has to foreclose on permits due to nonpayment, the permits should be retired. MOTION: Councilman Walker MOVED to amend the resolution removing "without interference" from Section No. 4. MOTION FAILED FOR LACK OF SECOND. There was no further discussion.

PERSONS WANTING TO BE HEARD CITY OF KENAI COUNCIL ON AGING ***MINUTES*** December 12, 1995 ROLL: Members Present: Al Pease, Sam Huddleston, Joanna Hollier, Roger Meeks, Lucille Billings, Georgetta Funk, Loretta Breeden, Gene Seay Members Absent: None Also Present: Pat Porter, Sylvia Johnson, Linda Swarner, Marilyn Kebschull, Beth Spielman, Rosemary Wiese, Betty Jo Seay, Marge Pate, Betty Lou Curtis AGENDA APPROVAL: Sam Huddleston asked for discussion on the agenda. None noted, he asked for unanimous approval. MINUTES FROM PRIOR MEETING: Sam Huddleston asked for discussion of the minutes from the previous meeting. JOANNA HOLLIER MOVED TO ACCEPT THE MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS MEETING. MOTION SECONDED BY ROGER MEEKS. MINUTES APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY. OLD BUSINESS: 1. Volunteer of the Month —Mr. Huddleston noted this had been discussed at the last meeting and a decision was made to bring it back up at this meeting. Pat Porter explained that originally when Volunteer of the Month was discussed, it was decided not to do it. Porter stated she has noticed in communications from other centers, they are featuring either a list of volunteers from the month or somehow choosing one individual to honor. Porter stated this is a way of recognizing volunteers. Porter stated in Minnesota a center publishes the names of all those who volunteer during the month. Homer puts all the names in a hat and draws one name who then gets a special parking space for the month and a story written about Council on Aging December 12, 1995 Minutes Page 1 them in the newsletter. Anchorage, features a volunteer in the volunteer corner. Porter stated it is a way of recognition and everybody likes that. Porter noted that the Kenai Center has so many volunteers and in a years time may have 70 people who have volunteered. How do you pick who to feature for the month? Porter asked for direction from the Board as to whether they wanted to institute a new program or leave things the same. Porter noted that changes could be made. Roger Meeks commented that volunteers could be notified and allowed to chose amongst themselves. Porter asked if he was meaning the Volunteer of the Year. Meeks stated that would be okay but he meant for each month. Loretta Breeden stated she was a volunteer and noted that she personally was not interested in recognition. Breeden noted she felt it would be enough for Porter to put in the newsletter that these people volunteered during the previous month and thank them. Sam Huddleston noted that if you had everyone in a pot and drew a name; those that were selected one time shouldn't be eligible again for a period of time because there are so many participants that it is almost necessary to eliminate them. Breeden asked Porter if it would be a problem to publish names and Porter replied no. BREEDEN MOVED THAT PORTER PUT IN THE MONTHLY NEWSLETTER A NOTE THANKING THOSE WHO VOLUNTEERED THE PROCEEDING MONTH AND LIST THEIR NAMES. JOANNA HOWER SECONDED THE MOTION. Huddleston asked for further discussion. Councilperson Swarner noted that with the suggested motion non -seniors could be listed. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. 2. Board Involvement —Pat Porter noted that as things begin to change it will become more and more necessary for the Board to become more and more involved. Both politically and financially. Porter stated that one of the things that the center has had going, such as a raffle, it is very important that Board member encourage that perhaps by taking tickets to sell. Porter stated that being a Board member is more than being involved just in the meetings; it is loving the program and wanting to see the program succeed and carry on. Porter stated that she thought the Board members needed to take a day and ride around on the home -delivered meals program. This would allow the Board to see what happens, what types of clients are being delivered to. Porter noted this would give members more understanding and a love for that program and feel strongly that it is important. Porter noted that she and Mary Ellen had gone out and delivered meals one day and it was very enlightening to Mary Ellen. She had never been into these people's homes and had never seen what the true need was. Now she has more of an understanding for those people who call to say they didn't get their meal and wonder why it is late. She understands now why they are upset because they are alone and the delivery person is probably the only person they see all day. Council on Aging December 12, 1995 Minutes Page 2 Porter stated she felt as Board members it would be very good for them to have the same experience. Breeden stated she felt it sounded like a great idea. Porter noted that she felt that it was part of being a Board member to understand the programs that were offered at the center regardless of whether they were home delivery meals, transportation, recreation, the wellness clinic, etc. Porter noted her feeling that it was important to know about these programs on a personal level. Porter asked for feedback and stated she would like to sign them up for a day on the bus noting that it only takes about one and a half hours. Huddleston asked if any comments or questions. None noted. NEW BUSINESS: Holiday Meals/Guests—Roger Meeks asked if Pat could enlighten the group as he had heard rumors around the center and would like clarification. Porter noted that the center tries to stay open on holidays, Thanksgiving, Easter, and Christmas Day. This is so those people who don't have a place to go and enjoy a meal can come to the center and not be home alone. Porter noted that has worked out well. But, what is happening is that seniors are beginning to bring non -seniors. Porter noted she personally did not have a problem with providing the meals but when taking the time to serve turkey and prime rib, it may be necessary to consider for non -seniors to pay a small fee. This would cover the additional cost of the meats. Porter noted that it is a pot luck and everyone brings something but the biggest cost of any meal is the main dish. Porter asked for Board feelings. Porter noted that at the last meal there were 50 people served, 12 non -seniors. Breeden asked how planning is done for amounts when unexpected guests attend. Porter noted there is a sign up sheet and that is used to prepare. Porter noted there are people who attend who are not on the list. Porter stated she understands why seniors want to bring someone else. However, there is a need to plan for the cost that is involved and that it shouldn't necessarily be a free dinner for non -seniors. Councilperson Swarner asked where the money was coming from now to buy the turkey dinner. Porter advised it comes from the senior citizens program. Swarner asked if there was a contribution from the seniors who attend. Porter stated, financially no. They bring a dish to share. Sam Huddleston stated he thought some contributed by turning in their tickets. Porter noted she did not receive the tickets. Meeks noted he could see how something like this could get out of hand. Continuing, Meeks related how something similar had happened with his union. It began with one member asking to bring an elderly neighbor and then it escalated. Meeks noted that once it got started it was hard to Council on Aging December 12, 1995 Minutes Page 3 stop. Finally, through word of mouth amongst members, it was brought under control. Sylvia Johnson advised that she would have to plead guilty to having three granddaughters at the Thanksgiving dinner with her. Johnson noted it was her feeling that the 12 non -seniors there brightened up the day. Her grandson who was 5 months old ended up with two of the elderly gentlemen. Porter noted that was not the point. The problem is who should pay. Should there be a charge for people who are non -seniors. Johnson stated she had contributed a dish for each of the members of her family. Porter stated that what brought this to her attention was a senior lady who came to her wanting to know if she could come to the center for dinner stating that she would like to bring her son and his family of four. Porter noted her first reaction was no. Porter noted then you would have one senior and five individuals who are not participating financially for that meat. Porter noted that prime rib is very expensive and that maybe the center shouldn't have prime rib and just have turkey. Porter noted that if it is okay with the Board, it is okay with her. Porter noted there needs to be a policy that she can follow. Sylvia Johnson noted that one time several years ago that one couple came to Thanksgiving and brought all their, adult children, husbands and wives. That family alone contributed ten to twelve children but they volunteered to do something to help with that dinner. Johnson noted that her granddaughters wanted to see what it was like to have Thanksgiving dinner at the Senior Center with all these elderly people. Johnson stated she had invited them as a joke and the joke was on her. Johnson noted they were thrilled to be here and share what is an important place to her and they wanted to know why it was so important. Gene Seay stated he didn't think it was a question of whether they could come or not but whether the center can afford it. Seay stated he felt they ought to be charged something. How much he didn't know stating he would need to know more about the costs involved. Johnson asked what a prime rib costs. Porter stated it is very expensive and that there are either four or six in a case and the bill was $245. Porter added that she felt that Gene was right that no one is saying you can't or shouldn't bring guests; it's that we need a policy stating how much it will cost for each guest. Loretta Breeden stated she could see everyone's point. In addition, noted that the center is supported by the community, the borough, city, volunteers, etc. Breeden stated that she didn't see anything wrong with Council on Aging December 12, 1995 Minutes Page 4 charging non -seniors to help belay the costs. However, it shouldn't be a money -making function. And, we should encourage people of other ages to come to the center and be with seniors. MOTION THAT SENIORS AND THEIR GUESTS ARE ASKED TO BRING A DISH FOR THE POTLUCK AND THAT THERE WILL BE A MINIMAL CHARGE OF $2.00 TO HELP BELAY THE COST OF THE MEAT. Discussion clarifying Loretta's intent with the charge and that it not include seniors. Breeden noted that was her intent. Gene Seay stated he felt that for an adult the charge $5 and $2 for a child, noting the cost to go to McDonalds. Breeden stated they are bringing food for the potluck and it is a non -money making proposition. Seay noted that everything costs. Breeden asked how much per serving of meat. Porter stated she was prepared to come and didn't have that information. Joanna Hollier stated there is a need to advertise more. Last Christmas was a disaster. The center an out of prime rib about a third of the way through. Hollier noted she didn't mind not eating prime rib but it is hard to tell everyone in the line when they have come prepared. Hollier noted that people did not sign up last Christmas. More education is needed. Gene Seay stated that if there is a policy ahead of time that people's feelings won't get hurt. (Group discussion on how much is too much.) Johnson stated that some people may not be able to come if the center charges too much, noting that some people may have 10 people and that would be $50 if charging $5. Sam Huddleston stated he believed the motion was made for $2. Swarner noted there was not a second to the motion. Huddleston asked if anyone wanted to second the motion for $2. None noted. Huddleston asked if there was another motion. Roger Meeks noted he would like to make a motion but it would be hard to segregate guests by age and thus should be a flat charge. Meeks stated that personally he didn't think $2 would be enough. MEEKS MOVED THAT GUESTS MUST REGISTER IN TIME TO PREPARE THE FOOD AND THEY MUST PAY $3 FOR EACH PERSON OTHER THAN SENIORS. MOTION SECONDED BY LORETTA BREEDEN. Huddleston noted the motion and asked for discussion. Breeden noted that Joanna had said there was a disaster but she had not been to one of these functions. Breeden noted she liked the $2 fee but would not have a problem with the $3 fee for those who came who were registered. Discussion about those who were not registered. Suggestion to put unregistered guests at the end of the line and Hollier stated it was too Council on Aging December 12, 1995 Minutes Page 5 chaotic and impossible to be serving food and putting people at the end of the line. Plus, it is a happy time and don't want to make people unhappy. Comment that the sign up lists don't always work. Porter noted that the center tries to remind people to sign up. Porter added that at Thanksgiving they had enough food because they took out an extra turkey. Fifty people ate two turkeys and a prime rib. Porter noted that she thinks it is fine that people bring guests but the problem needs to be addressed. The center will be suffering a 5-10% decrease in funding which may be retroactive this year, this is from the state. There will also be a decrease in the USDA money and the commodities program. Breeden asked Porter what she felt a fair price was, $2, $3, or $5. Porter stated she felt that $2 was too low. She stated that Gene's suggestion of $5 was .okay but if you are not going to charge a different fee for children and adults, go with the in between road of $3 or $4. Al Pease noted the money that is received at the center is for seniors and he doesn't see how it can be spent for non -seniors. Huddleston asked for vote. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. 2. Automatic Front Doors —Loretta Breeden stated she had asked that this be on the agenda. Breeden noted that she has sat at the front desk over the past years and has seen a lot of seniors struggling with wheel chairs, canes, walkers, not being strong enough to open the door. Breeden clarified she was talking about the automatic doors that you push a large round button to open the door. Swarner noted that they had one like that at the college. Hollier noted that the heat bill will go up because the doors close very, very slowly. Breeden noted that she knows when a disabled person is coming in because the cold runs right in. Hollier stated she jumps up and helps them. Hollier stated she was just noting that is a drawback from those doors, that they open and close very slowly. Swarner noted that Doors and Windows should be able to help with a price. Porter stated this will have to be brought to the City's attention. Swarner stated that it should be covered under disabilities and there is a list of buildings being compiled. Swarner asked that this door be put on Rachel Clark or Jack La Shot's list. 3. Meal Service/Cafeteria—Pat Porter stated that she had an individual ask to put this on the agenda and that is does the center want to go to cafeteria style service in the dining room or stay the way it is. Porter stated that when someone comes to her with a concern and they want something on the agenda, it is put on the agenda. Georgetta Funk noted that she had also been approached about this subject and there was a concern about the waste of food. That so many Council on Aging December 12, 1995 Minutes Page 6 people don't eat what is served and there are a lot of people who eat hardly anything. There is a feeling that with cafeteria style there would be less waste and it might be cheaper in the long run. Seay noted that he has seen a lot of people taking more than they eat. Discussion about people taking food home with them if it were cafeteria style. Rosemary Wiese stated that at most cafeterias they are served and people are asked how much of an item they want. Wiese stated she did believe it would save a lot and noted that everyone has seen the waste. Breeden asked about those who could not stand in line and it was commented that those folks could be waited on. Wiese stated there are not that many who can't get up but some people like to be served; however, she feels it is good for people to get up. Al Pease asked about the requirements regarding serving amounts for food noting that he didn't think the center could cut down that much. Swarner asked if there were guidelines to follow under USDA. Porter stated there were specific guidelines; however, you can go cafeteria style. Porter noted that Soldotna is cafeteria style. Porter noted that in a meeting recently with Lois and it was asked what the cost per meal was. Porter stated the total cost is figured a little differently. Porter stated she noted raw food costs at about $2.64 per meal. Lois did not have a cost but felt her cost was similar. Porter stated costs were similar regardless of the method of service. Breeden stated that she has eaten at the Soldotna center and it is her impression that you get almost double the amount of food at the Soldotna center, or at least one and a half times. Lucille Billings agreed but added that you can ask for smaller servings. Porter stated you can ask for smaller servings in Kenai. Suggestion to publicize that people can ask for less. Johnson commented that at the Homer center where they serve cafeteria style it takes longer to be served and there are accidents wherein people spill food. Johnson commented that the service in Kenai is excellent and added that if it's not broke why fix it. Roger Meeks asked if the center had difficulty getting servers and if not leaving the service as is. LORETTA BREEDEN MOVED THAT NO ACTION BE TAKEN ON THE MEAL SERVICE AT THIS TIME. MOTION SECONDED BY ROGER MEEKS. UNANIMOUS. Porter added that she would publicize that people could ask for less. 4. Non Smoking Policy/Vintage Pointe —Breeden asked if the Board made policy for Vintage Pointe. Porter advised yes. Sylvia Johnson stated she would like to see a non-smoking policy put in place at Vintage Pointe. Not for those already living there but as time goes on and they phase out that no more smokers be allowed in there. Johnson noted there are six or eight residents with breathing problems, Johnson stated she has allergy problems. The odor from the smoke from cigarettes comes into the hallway and at times gets in her apartment. Council on Aging December 12, 1995 Minutes Page 7 Johnson said she thought there were at least six smokers in apartments now. Johnson reiterated that she wanted this for new residents and this is for everyone's health. Johnson noted that when she leaves there will not be a cigarette smoke in her apartment in the woodwork, etc. Johnson said someone had said it was discriminatory and she said it discriminates against non-smokers then. Breeden asked what the law said. Porter said smoking or non-smoking has nothing to do with discrimination. Porter stated that now there are designated smoking areas and in that building it would be in their apartments. Breeden stated then they should have to have smoke eaters. Johnson stated there are rules in the apartments one being that you have to be able to vote to live there. Discussion as to why. Johnson stated it was because felons can't vote. Porter stated not a policy there. Johnson thought it was a policy when she moved in. (Lengthy discussion.) Johnson stated that she believes that cigarette smoke is detrimental to the health of the residents of Vintage Pointe even though they only smoke in their apartments. Johnson stated her request that as apartments become available that non- smokers be given priority. Seay stated that it boils down to making a no smoking policy in that building. You will have to restrict the building to non-smokers because if you have smokers in the building, people will sneak around and smoke. Breeden commented on her support of Johnson's feelings. Seay stated he agreed with the comments but he was trying to make the point that it would have to be only rented to non- smokers. Breeden commented that she felt it was a safety concern; that people might fall asleep with a cigarette. Breeden stated she would like to make a motion that there be a non-smoking policy instituted at Vintage Pointe effective one year from today. Question if this meant to kick out smokers in one year. Breeden said no that they could stop smoking in a year. Meeks stated he didn't think someone should be kicked out because they were there before the policy was instituted. Breeden stated they wouldn't be kicked out. Johnson said they would be phased out sooner or later. Meeks commented on being a non-smoker and the effects of smoke; however, noted there was already a policy of no animals. Meeks stated he knew people who would live there if they could have their animals and it was the same with smokers. Meeks stated he went along with those who felt it was wrong to jump on those who already live in the apartments. Johnson reiterated that it would not apply to those who live there now but only new residents. What she is saying is not to let anymore smokers rent there. Meeks stated he was thinking about himself because he hates smoke but where do you stop with rules. Breeden asked where do you stop with the rules of violating her health. Meeks advised he had discussed this with his wife who is very much against smoke and cannot be around it because of her health but she said she has mixed emotions about this. Meeks noted they discussed about how far you go with regulations. Johnson noted there are hotels who Council on Aging December 12, 1995 Minutes Page 8 have non-smoking floors and that the apartments have smokers on all floors. Meeks stated he has been in hotel rooms that were non-smoking rooms that had been smoked in. Discussion about smokers and that they will smoke regardless if it is non-smoking or not. Porter stated that if you develop a policy of non-smoking, if they then begin to smoke you can evict them. Breeden asked how you could evict someone who starts smoking but let those who are already there continue to smoke. Porter stated that would be the grandfather policy much as like the Longevity Bonus such that some people will never get it but those who get it now will continue to get it. Porter advised that what the Board does is advisory to the council and they will be the ultimate ones to decide if they want that to happen in their building. Breeden asked if the Board could turn this over to the council. Porter stated that the Board should advise the council what they would like done. Breeden questioned why the doors didn't have to be handled differently than the smoking policy and Porter explained that this is associated with the ADA. BREEDEN MOVED THAT THE BOARD SUGGEST TO THE KENAI CITY COUNCIL THAT THEY INSTITUTE A NON-SMOKING POLICY AT VINTAGE POINTE. MOTION SECONDED BY AL PEASE. Pease stated that he felt it should be recommended to the council that Vintage Pointe be made a non-smoking area. Breeden thought that was what she had said. Motion read to group. Seay Mated that leave the question as to whether it applies this instant or not and does it include those in residence now or not. Breeden said Porter said council will make the policy so it is just a recommendation. Seay questioned about the people already there and is this a policy that will be instigated with every new person or all the residents. Breeden said she understood council would make that decision. Seay said the Board needs to recommend who it should apply to. Breeden says all residents have a right to tell council what they think. Funk says it doesn't apply to everybody because her apartment doesn't smell at all. Seay says what it comes down to is these people who already live there and you tell them to stop, can you stop them. If they don't stop, what do you do. Breeden asked if the Board should take no action today. Seay said he felt the Board should decide what policy to recommend. Huddleston stated he would like to see an amendment to her recommendation —THOSE ALREADY IN THE BUILDING ARE NOT CONSIDERED A PART OF THE RECOMMENDATION. THEY WOULD RECEIVE GRANDFATHER RIGHTS. Breeden stated she would agree to the amendment. Meeks said he is against the no smoking policy but he doesn't want to kick out those who don't want to stop smoking. Breeden said she accepted the amendment. Question to Porter if she felt residents could be put out. Porter advised the group that her feelings were that at time she can smell smoke in the hallway. And, there is one apartment that smoke has damaged the wall paper on the outside. There Council on Aging December 12, 1995 Minutes Page 9 is some seepage of some of the smoke smells. Porter said she thinks it is wrong to tell someone who is an elderly person that they have to stop smoking in a year's period of time. That this will put an undue hardship on them, mentally and physically to even have to think about quit smoking at their age, he pressure that if they don't quit, they will lose their apartment. Porter stated that even publicly there would be a lot of negative comments. Breeden reiterated that she had gone along with the amendment to allow grandfather rights for those current residents. Porter noted that several residents of the apartments were in attendance and perhaps they should be given an opportunity to speak. Seay commented his definition of a smoker is a little white stick with fire on one end and a sucker on the other end. Rosemary Wiese stated it was her feeling that those who live there now should be excluded. In addition, she thinks that if it is going to be no smoking, it should be limited to apartments with doors closed. Meeks stated that is the way it is now. Wiese continued that once in a great while she does get a whiff of smoke from downstairs through the registers. Wiese stated she doesn't smoke but does believe that they should be able to do what we wish in our apartments. Curtis stated that she also smells food. Wiese added give the residents one place they can call home to do what they want to do and live the way they want to just so they are not breaking down the place. Wiese commented that there were other problems than smokers commenting there are many things involved when elderly are involved. Betty Lou Curtis stated she agrees with Rosemary and don't think anyone should be discriminated against. Porter asked how Betty would feel if those living there were told that nothing would change but new residents would be non-smokers. Curtis stated it would depend on what is on the list. Porter asked what list. Curtis said you can't have rules for one group of people and rules for another group. They all have to be the same; they all sign the same contract. Huddleston stated that if the new contract stated you could not smoke, would she be against that. Curtis stated she is not a smoker but she doesn't think it's right to tell somebody they can't smoke in their own apartment. Wiese stated she would be against it for the new people who came in to say that they could not smoke. She said she doesn't think it is right. Johnson ask if it wasn't right for her to try to protect her health. Wiese stated they all live in the place, they all have rights to think the way they want to. Johnson said she is sorry and that she was going to leave. Added that she has a very, very serious health problem with cigarette smoke and noticed that the three most volatile people here don't even live over there and they don't live in apartments. They live in private homes and they don't get the slop over. Johnson asked if someone let their toilet run over into the Council on Aging December 12, 1995 Minutes Page 10 apartments below, they have every right to do that the way the group is talking. The cigarette smoke runs all over the place. Seay stated for example his wife has a health problem and if she gets around smoke she gets asthma. So, Seay stated if they wanted to move in they would be restricted from moving in because she has asthma. So a choice if they could live here or the smokers. Seay stated there is a need to balance one person's rights against others rights. Wiese stated she believed that also. Seay stated that a philosopher once said when the second man came into the world, the first man's rights were cut in half. Everyone can't have unrestricted rights, you have to balance rights for one person against another. Huddleston stated he believed it had been discussed fully and there is a motion and a second. Breeden asked for motion to be read with amendment. Kebschull advised she didn't believe amendment was seconded. Porter stated that smoking and non-smoking policies pit groups against each other. That it is unfortunate that bad feelings come from this and she hopes that people don't take it personally. Porter stated any kind of a group decision should not be taken personally. Everyone has different opinions and that is what makes America so special. Porter added that the Board would be making a recommendation to the council and she didn't have a clue as to how they would handle the policy. Porter added that when you have smokers in apartments even though they only smoke in their apartment, they will go in and out and smoke will come out. It doesn't stay forever though, it will go away. Seay stated he felt that people needed to be considerate of others. Seay noted that because of his wife's asthma and if they lived in the building, they would have to move. Lucille Billings stated she has had asthma for years and it hasn't bothered her. Motion read to the group. AL PEASE SECONDED THE AMENDMENT. Huddleston asked for a vote by hands. FIVE FOR THE MOTION, ONE OPPOSED. 5. Ready for Change —Pat Porter provided information to the Board to take with them and noted it would be on the next agenda for discussion. The information regarding making changes at senior centers. Also handed out was information from a Commission Meeting Porter had attended in Anchorage. Information was provided by State employees who provide the meals program which the center receives $124,000. Porter advised she will be writing a grant sometime between February and April. Porter reminded the group that there would be a 5 to 10 percent decrease in Council on Aging December 12, 1995 Minutes Page 11 funding, to the Kenai Center that would be $12,400. Also USDA funds would be cut. Porter went over some of the information o n the handout with the groups. USDA commodities will be cut. They are also looking at increased cost sharing by the clients ability to pay. After the 1990 census money was shifted from Southeast, but it was shifted to the central area. Grantees will be encouraged to target services to residents of low-income senior housing projects, seek out shared transportation resources with other groups, target the frail, minorities, and those at the greatest risk for institutionalization. State office will not fund expansion of current meal sites. They are hoping to make all Title V positions be assigned to senior citizen programs. There must be more collaboration between senior services and other social services. Porter discussed possibility of combining services with the Soldotna center. Loretta Breeden commented on the Central Peninsula General Hospital wanting to expand their services to include mental health, home health, hospice, etc. Porter advised she needed to check into what this may mean to the Senior Center. Porter advised that HMO's are coming to Alaska and all hospitals are uniting into one force where you are forced to go to them and get your insurance. Porter advised that people need to be aware of this. Porter advised the group that the grant will provide funding for those groups already covered. If there is a cut, it will be equal for all participants. Porter asked the group to try to find out why people don't attend the center. The group discussed a variety of reasons from not liking the food, felt too much salt was used (Porter advised salt wasn't used), people didn't feel comfortable, etc. The discussion continued on ways that people could be made feel more welcome when they are new to the center including having someone greet them and show them a good table to sit at. 6. Board Vacancy —Porter advised that Betty Warren has resigned from the Board and one person, Arlene Infield, has turned in an application. Porter advised that more time would be given before filling the position to give others an opportunity to apply. Discussion by the group about the Board being more involved. Examples given of helping with sales for raffles and getting more politically involved with senior issues. Porter advised that she felt Huddleston as Chairman should speak for the group at council on issues the board has discussed. Breeden commented that she should be able to speak to council as a Council on Aging December 12, 1995 Minutes Page 12 citizen and Porter stated yes but that the Board should be represented by the Chair or a designated person. 7. Veteran Services— Huddleston advised that a senior who was a veteran died, Gerald Culver, and they would like to hold the memorial service at the center. Porter advised Mr. Culver had left her to settle his estate and all property would be given to the center. The group discussed if this it is normal for services to be held at the center. Porter advised yes. In fact seniors have held 50" wedding anniversaries at the center. Huddleston advised the service would be arranged with Herb Sletter (?) of the American Legion. ADJOURNMENT: GEORGETTA FUNK MOVED FOR ADJOURNMENT AND AL PEASE SECONDED THE MOTION. UNANIMOUS. Meeting adjourned at approximately noon. Resp�fitfully Submitted: Marilyn IKebschull Administrative Assistant Council on Aging December 12, 1995 Minutes Page 13 �r Memorandum Date: 12/13/95 To: Kenai City Council Through: Carol L. Freas, City Clerk Through: Thomas J. Manninen, City Manager -IV Through: Keith Kornelis, Public Works Director CC: Pat Porter, Director, Senior Center l� From: Marilyn Kebsc, hull Administrative Assistant RE: NON-SMOKING POLICY AT VINTAGE POINTE At their meeting on December 12, 1995, Council on Aging voted to recommend to council that a non-smoking policy be put in effect for new tenants at Vintage Pointe. The Board expressed their desire that the current tenants not be effected by a non-smoking policy. The idea was that as apartments become available that these apartments be rented only to non-smokers and the non- smoking policy become a part of the lease agreement. Pat Porter requests that this memorandum be viewed as an information item at this time. This will allow her to research ventilation systems and possible legal issues with the City Attorney. It is anticipated this item will come to council as a discussion item in the near future. /mk KENAI AIRPORT COMMISSION AGENDA December 14, 1995 City Hall Council Chambers Chairman Tom Thibodeau 1.

MOTION SECONDED BY HOLLOWAY. AGENDA APPROVED. Approval of Minutes: HOLLOWAY MOVED FOR APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 9, 1995. MOTION SECONDED BY KNACKSTEDT. MINUTES APPROVED. Old Business: Ernst asked if the Commission would postpone working on the airport plan until the January meeting. Ernst advised he had been out of state and had not had time to prepare. Knackstedt noted there appears to be figures and drawings missing from the plan. Ernst stated he would check into it. Commission agreed to begin working on the plan at the January meeting. Thibodeau asked Ernst if he had ascertained if Koop had been the Commission advisor for the master plan. Ernst stated Koop had been on a committee to review the RFP's to select the group to complete the master plan. Aries has been selected for this project. Ernst stated the plan is to have Aries attend the January meeting. After that meeting closes, a public hearing would be held. This would be the first of two public hearings. This is the beginning of a three year project. Thibodeau asked Ernst if he had had an opportunity to check into the GPS antenna. Ernst stated he had not but would do so. Knackstedt asked Ernst if he had had an opportunity to check the figures on the well for the camping area. Ernst stated he had and there were some figures that would not equate. For example, Ernst stated he found a math error that would Kenai Airport Commission Minutes December 14, 1995 Page 1 reduce the cost by $2,700. If the errors are corrected, the actual figure would be about $5,500. Knackstedt stated he thought that was still high. Ernst stated that would include $1,200 for water testing and he was sure that could be done for a lot less. Discussion on what testing was actually required for this type of well. Knackstedt stated he did not know what the well depth was in that area, but, if it gets deep enough the city may want to put a submersible pump in the well. Ernst stated the actual drilling of the well could happen any time, even this winter. Knackstedt stated the real unknown would be how deep the well would be at $22 a foot. Ernst stated his quote was for $17 and $8 for the casing. Ernst stated he was glad that the information had been brought to his attention. In addition, he would like to work with Knackstedt on the testing. Knackstedt stated it would have to be approved with DEC but it shouldn't be a big deal. Ernst advised the Commission that he wanted to review the code requirements for Commission members. Ernst stated that as he sees the list Ron Holloway, Henry Knackstedt, and Barbara Edwards would be a members a large. This would satisfy the three members at large as the code states. Bonnie Koerber would be the terminal lease holder representative. Tom Thibodeau would represent CAP. Ernst stated that would necessitate recruiting someone from the flight service station or the tower and one fixed base operator. Ernst stated he had applications in his office and he was planning to take one over to the flight service station and the tower to see if anyone was interested. Ernst stated he would check with fixed base operators. Thibodeau stated if it needed to be turned around, he could cover the fixed base operator and Knackstedt could cover the CAP. That would leave an opening for member at large. Holloway stated he thought he knew someone who was interested but they were out of state now. Ernst advised that if he could get someone from the flight service station the rest could be filled by juggling positions if necessary. Ernst advised the dates on the roster are anniversary dates. Ernst drew Edwards and Koerber's attention to their dates being in January meaning there terms were due to expire. Ernst advised them to contact the city clerk if they were interested in staying on the Commission. Holloway stated he noted his work number as being incorrect. The correct number is 262-7491. Edwards noted her number had not been changed on the new roster. Kebschull advised that the city clerk would be asked to make the changes. New Business: Memo regarding Work Session for Robert's Rules of Order —Commission noted their first choice would be January 18th and the 25th the second choice. Ernst stated at the last meeting the Commission had discussed the Regional Aircraft Fire Fighting Facility. Ernst brought the Commission's attention to a map Kenai Airport Commission December 14, 1995 Minutes Page 2, of the facility on the wall. Ernst advised the Commission that he had just returned from visiting the Dallas/Fort Worth Fire Training School with the City Fire Chief. Ernst stated he had a video of the facility to share with the Commission. Ernst asked the Commissioners to notice in the video how the facility is able to simulate the black smoke using propane and how it dissipates so quickly. Ernst stated the facility is computer operated. (Video viewed and discussed during viewing.) Ernst stated it looks like Kenai will be able to get the facility. He noted that he will probably wait until mid -late January to proceed. Terry Haymond of Sytron will be going to Washington, D.C. to talk to Alaska's representatives. Ernst reported the Alaska region was in favor of the facility being located here. And, because Kenai has the infrastructure with the university, Kenai has a leg up on everybody else. Airport Manager's Report Ernst reported he has been trying to get enplanement figures from Mark Air for November and doesn't know how successful he will be. He has the enplanement figures from ERA. Holloway asked how Southcentral was doing and Ernst stated it was slow. Ernst stated he felt they needed to stay for six months no matter what. Knackstedt stated they were flying three 1040's. Ernst stated they were running with a captain and copilot and that the copilot is doing on the ground handling. Ernst stated he is hoping with the two crew on the planes that they may begin flying a different class of aircraft. Thibodeau asked how ERA was doing with the flow and if passengers were being accommodated. Ernst stated ERA had done a really good job and there are a lot more Dash 8 flights and a convair comes in about once a day. Ernst reported that ERA's November enplanement figures were in the 7500 range and he is guessing that Mark Air did approximately 3000. Adiournment HOLLOWAY MOVED TO ADJOURN.

Kornelis stated that the Corps of Engineers has stated they won't do it. Eldridge stated the only way to get it done would be if the Legislature appropriated funds. McCune asked if the City would be able to purchase equipment for its own use. Komelis stated that the dock has never paid for itself yet and the equipment is very expensive. He didn't feel it would be very cost effective. Kornelis stated he had thought of renting some of Alyeska's pumps, but where to put the sludge would be a problem. Jahrig stated maybe just agitating the mud would help the natural current to move some of it out. Kornelis stated the city applied for two grants for a boardwalk and signage at the beach and for a boardwalk at Cunningham Park. Jahrig asked about the $700 charge for an abandoned boat on the Council's last agenda. Kornelis stated that was how much the Borough charged for their dumping fee. Jahrig asked about the LID proposal to Council. Kornelis stated it had been sent to the City Manager for a report. Jahrig felt that any extra money should first be spent on City projects that serve the public before spending money on private holdings. Eldridge suggested that they get some estimates on dredging costs. He stated they were just using clam shovels in Anchorage. McCubbins asked how deep and how wide they would Harbor Commission December 11, 1995 Page 2 have to dredge. Eldridge stated probably six feet below low low water and maybe 50 feet out. Koinelis stated he would like to try pumping, but it would then have to be hauled. He said the Ninilchik dredging costs about $200,000 every year. McCubbins asked if the packers further up the river were having problems. Jahrig stated that yes, they were. Jahrig suggested it would be good use of the ladder truck to use that to agitate the mud up and disperse it. Kornelis stated that the Fish and Game person is on vacation and will try to get him to come in January to talk with the Commission. The next meeting was scheduled for January 8, 1996. Eldridge MOVED to adjourn. McCubbins SECONDED the motion. The meeting was adjourned at 7:45 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Debby J.

DIRECTOR'S REPORT DeForest reported that the story contest was a success. There were three winners in the 6th through 8th grade group. The Friends membership tea will be held on February 11th and everyone is invited. DeForest attended a library director's leadership meeting last month. The state library commission feels that the state should take more control over the library grant money. They feel not all the libraries are using the funds as they should be used. There has been new legislation proposed that will restrict what the money can be spent on. This would not affect the first $5,000, but any matching money after that. There is concern that the grant money may not be made available if the Borough doesn't have library powers. This could only be changed by a Borough -wide vote. Peters asked about the report figures that were being kicked around during the last election. He stated that the figures he heard were that there were about 14,000 library cards issued and only approximately 7,000 were Kenai residents. DeForest agreed that in November Kenai residents borrowed 4,458 items from the library, and the total items borrowed from the library were 7,659. This would back up the figures that Peters had heard. 6. OLD BUSINESS A. Friends - Heus reported that the Friends put out a December newsletter. There was an update in the newsletter on how some of the Friends funds had been spent. The Friends are continuing to look for volunteers interested in working on their committees. B. Library Plans - Heus asked how the Commission felt about going ahead with a library committee. O'Reilly asked if the committee was to make specific functions recommendations as well as design, and to come up with specific goals and objectives. Heus stated that the library goals and objectives should cover these needs. O'Reilly felt that the committee should come up with its own goals and objectives to work with specific to the expansion needs. Rodes asked if the architect's full services had been paid for. O'Reilly MOVED that a committee of the Commission be formed to develop proposed goals and objectives for the library expansion and that these goals and objectives be reported back to the Commission. Forbes SECONDED the motion. O'Reilly felt that some of the issues the committee should cover would include: looking at the stacks; the computer issues should be addressed; whether there is any way the library can be self -funded; and try to determine where a community library Library Commission December 5, 1995 Page 2 fits into the community's needs. O'Reilly felt the committee should reports its goals and objectives back to the Commission with its findings. He felt three members of the Commission and two from the Friends would be sufficient and that two months was a reasonable time frame for them to report back to the Commission. Benson felt that with a specific set of goals in mind, the public would have a much better understanding of the services that would be offered with an expansion. Brenckle offered a friendly SECOND. A vote was unanimously in favor. Heus asked for volunteers to work on the committee. Rodes and Brown offered to work on the committee. Benson and O'Reilly also offered. Heus stated that she would let the Commission know who the two Friends volunteers would be. 7. NEW BUSINESS A. Christmas Open House - Heus reminded everyone of the Christmas open house. Brenckle asked if there would again be books offered for sale. DeForest stated she is working on this and would also try to get it into the newspaper. B. Work Session - Heus interpreted the letter to read that this is for all members and boards. Forbes MOVED that the Commission request the dates of the 29th as first choice, and the 31st as their second choice. O'Reilly SECONDED the motion. The motion was approved with a unanimous vote. 8. COMMISSIONER COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS Heus reminded everyone that January was the time to elect a new chair for the Commission, and also that three members will be up for re -appointment in 1996. Moore reported that the library committee would be a positive action to go to Council. At the last Commission meeting there was a question about how much had been spent on schematics. He found out that there had been $18,000 budgeted and $17,820 had been spent. Klugy should be invited to attend the next Commission meeting, but was not committed to the project at this time. Benson asked for clarification to what a 1st class Borough was. Heus stated that Kenai is currently a 2nd class Borough. O'Reilly stated that it had a lot to do with services available, specifically fire, police, etc. He stated that to be more specific the information could be found in Title 29. Library Commission December 5, 1995 Page 3 Peters wished everyone a happy holidays and thanked Councilman Swarner for the recommendation to support the open house with a $300 donation from city funds. Rodes commented that she has been glad to serve on the Commission and hoped to be re- appointed again next year. Forbes asked if it was the state library commission who was recommending the restrictions on the state grant money. DeForest stated that it is the state library commission along with the community library directors. The first $5,000 is not in question, but additional requests for funds must be matched, and those funds are in jeopardy at this time. Brenckle felt the newly -formed committee should look into a fireplace for the new facilities. Brown thanked O'Reilly for his suggestions on the committee and felt it would give us more direction. Heus thanked everyone and also felt the committee would be a positive step towards giving direction. She wished everyone a happy holiday. 9. ADJOURNMENT Brenckle MOVED to adjourn. Peters SECONDED the motion. The meeting was adjourned at 8:50 p.m. The next meeting is scheduled for January 2, 1996. Respectfully submitted, Debby J. Fahnholz.

APPROVAL OF AGENDA McGillivray asked that members look at a letter sent from the Womens Resource Center to Parks and Recreation for information only, also to welcome Tim Wisniewski as a new Commission member. 3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Gifford MOVED to approve the minutes as presented. Castimore SECONDED the motion. The minutes were approved as written. 4. PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD None. S. DIRECTOR'S REPORT McGillivray advised everyone that an ad was placed in the local newspapers announcing programs available at the Rec Center. Other items noted were that the restrooms at the beach were vandalized, probably over the Thanksgiving holiday. Panels were kicked out and windows were kicked in, but the panels were located and can probably be reinstalled later, though the damage had not been completely assessed as yet. The greenstrip restroom fixtures Parks & Rec Commission December 7, 1995 Page 1 are still on order and it will probably be spring before completion. A purchase order has been sent to Airtech for transformers for the poles for Christmas lighting. The Council approved another $2500 and hopefully this will cover most of them. The pole in front of Carrs will probably be moved and another couple of poles within the construction area are frozen, so these poles won't be fixed at this time. Signs have been made for the golf course ski trail. It still needs to be worked out between Morgan's and the school as to who will carry liability responsibility. The greenhouse has been put up with gas and electricity run to it. The utilities have not been hooked up yet. The fan and heater still need to be hung, but it looks good. 6. OLD BUSINESS A. Daubenspeck Property - McGillivray stated that Planning and Zoning has approved the Daubenspeck property. Sandahl was concerned that the historical significance of the property not be lost with whatever gets done. he felt there should be access to the historical area. Bannock stated that Council has been asked to make signage for the area, but was also concerned that the historical significance not be lost. Castimore MOVED that Parks and Rec accept the proposal of Planning and Zoning with the disclaimer that the lease not deny access to the historical area. Gifford SECONDED the motion. The motion passed with a unanimous vote. B. Cross Country Ski Trail - McGillivray stated that signage had been done and most of the work will be done by the school, pending snow. C. Five Year Plan Update - McGillivray passed out copies of previous years' goals and objectives and stated that several items will need to be shifted in priority and a couple items have been completed. He discussed some of the items on the list for the Commission to think about for discussion at the next meeting. Sandahl asked what reaction would be to removing playground area in Cunningham Park. McGillivray stated that many people let their kids play there while they are fishing in the area. Sandahl stated he had not seen much use by children, even in the summer months. McGillivray felt maybe it could be considered removing it. Yamamoto asked about putting in basketball courts in the Municipal park. McGillivray stated it was a possibility with maybe a sand volleyball court at the other end. Yamamoto felt it would probably be well used. Wisniewski asked if it had been decided what would be the best use for the cleared area behind the shelter. McGillivray stated either the basketball court or the volleyball court had been considered for that area. Wisniewski felt that if some of the trees were cleared, it Parks & Rec Commission December 7, 1995 Page 2 would probably be used more, just by making the park more visible. Sandahl suggested it would be an item to consider for the five year plan. 7. NEW BUSINESS A. Leif Hansen Memorial Park Policy - McGillivray stated that the city felt groups should be able to use the park, but larger groups should be relocated to the greenstrip area. Gifford MOVED that given the memorial intent of the park, that the Commission recommend to Council that events of less than 50 people be allowed to use the park, but that larger groups use the greenstrip area, with administration having the final say. Castimore SECONDED the motion. The motion was passed with a unanimous vote. Bannock stated that he spoke to the lady who wrote the letter to Council and apologized to her for not thinking of the intent of the park in the first place, and that they would like to keep that idea in concept in the future. B. Family Day - McGillivray stated that this will be set up for a trial run at the Rec Center on Sundays. They will wait and see how this is received. C. Playground Equipment for 1996 - McGillivray stated that anything over $10,000 has to go out to bid. He passed out catalogs and stated that the Burke equipment that was purchased last summer was easy to install and was well received. Gifford took home catalogs and stated she would make a recommendation at the next meeting. She also felt that there should be more swings at the Municipal park. D. Work Session Meeting Date - McGillivray stated that there was a letter issued to all Commissions wanting to have a meeting on parliamentary procedures. The Commission decided to postpone action on the letter at this time. 8. CORRESPONDENCE McGillivray stated that Hansen's had made a $300 donation to Parks and Rec. 9. INFORMATION None.

Chairman Walker asked if any amendments or changes to the minutes. Mr. Bryson stated a reference in the minutes to the south property line regarding Bailey Subdivision and the intent was the west side. Walker asked what page it was on. Mr. Bryson withdrew the comment stating he may have been mistaken and it was in the Borough Planning Commission minutes. VOTE: GLICK: YES BRYSON YES WERNER-QUADE YES GOECKE YES BOOTH YES MAHURIN YES WALKER YES MINUTES APPROVED. Planning & Zoning Commission December 14, 1995 Minutes Page 1 OLD BUSINESS: Comp Plan Update—Kebschull advised that the original disk had been found and a decision had been made to make the changes within the document. The plan has been reprinted. It still lacks the library information. Kebschull advised she is in the process of proofreading page -by -page and hopes to have it done by the end of the year. Walker asked for comments. Walker asked that the draft be brought to the Commission for review. Kebschull advised that administration would like to purchase inexpensive, flexible, three-ring binders for each plan. Then, next changes will be able to be placed in each section as an addendum. The way that the plan was bound originally the changes cannot be put in place. This will make it easier for future reviews. In addition, a list of plan holders needs to be maintained so that changes can be sent to them. At this time, a list doesn't appear to have been kept. Walker stated the segment on the library is before the Commission and asked for comments. Walker stated he had one comment. Under goals and objectives, a concern of whether or not library hours need to be increased Monday through Thursday and consider Sunday hours. Walker stated there had been a tremendous amount of discussion about this by council over the years. Walker asked if the Planning & Zoning Commission wished to leave the statement as is. Mahurin stated she didn't feel it was Planning & Zoning's place to determine goals and objectives for the library. Mahurin added she thought that the Commission's goal was to relay each Commission and Departments concerns to the Comprehensive Plan. Mahurin stated she felt that was what had been done and added she felt that was a management prerogative and not a Planning Commission prerogative. Walker stated he did not agree that this was a city prerogative. Walker stated that council sets the hours. Walker stated he will accept the Commission's recommendation if they choose to leave it in the document. Walker noted the document will be forwarded as an item from the Planning & Zoning Commission so it will be the Commission's choice whether or not to leave parts or all of it in the plan. Walker noted it seemed as if there was a consensus to leave it in. Bryson stated he assumed the document would go to a public hearing and public comment would be received prior to it's adoption. Walker stated he was not certain it went to public hearing but went to council for approval so would go through public process. Bryson noted that the Planning & Zoning Commission did not have the last word in drafting the document. Goecke stated he concurred with Chairman Walker's feelings on the hours. Goecke noted another number he was questioning was the 12,500 people on the current registration. Goecke commented that they must have everybody's name on the list who had ever taken out a library card. Goecke commented on the population of Kenai being 6500 or so. Mahurin advised she had asked that question and was advised that there were library users from surrounding areas and cannery workers. Goecke questioned them leaving cannery workers on the list and noted it made the library look good; however, he does not believe it is a viable number. Planning & Zoning Commission December 14, 1995 Minutes Page 2 Bryson commented on increasing the library hours that the library is already open from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mahurin stated that information was from the current plan and she doesn't know what the librarian's intention is except it wasn't revised. Councilman Smalley stated he would be glad to bring a report back to the next meeting as far as the current, up-to-date, active users to the library. Smalley noted it is a very high number and there are more outside of the city than are residents of the city using the library. Walker stated he would tend to believe the 12,000 as active card holders; however, how often they use the library is another story. Walker again asked if the Commission wanted to leave the goal information intact. Smalley recommended that their goals not be adjusted without discussing it with them. Glick stated that whether we agree or disagree with the goal, it is a goal of the library board and a lot of the other departments had goals that he didn't agree with but they were not changed. Walker asked if the information came from another commission or was it copied out of the current book. Mahurin stated she worked with the librarian on December 8+h to update the information. Walker asked if there were any changes or adjustments. None noted. National Flood Insurance Program —Jack La Shot stated there was information in the packet concerning the National Flood Insurance Program. La Shot reminded the Commission about the FEMA people who had presented to the Commission earlier in the fall. There is a sample ordinance and resolution with some of the requirements highlighted. La Shot stated he wanted the Commission to review the information and give recommendations, comments, etc. so that the information could be passed onto council to get the process started if they should choose to do so. If council decides to get involved, La Shot stated he believed that the administration would begin the process. Walker asked for discussion. Walker stated he thought the question in most minds is if there is a fiscal note attached to the program. La Shot stated there is nothing monetary. It will be a matter of putting it into our building inspection program and enforcing it. La Shot stated the Borough is finding out that something needs to be done. They have been in the program a couple years and since the flooding they have found out what needs to be done to enforce it, and there is some liability. Kenai probably has a leg up on the Borough because of the building official that would review building permits. Due to the limited developable area in the city, the city's exposure will probably be minor. La Shot stated there is a large area within the flood plane and hazard areas as they define them. Most of those lands are publicly owned and we can pin point the areas that do have a problem such as Angler Drive and possibly Barabara. Some land away from the river along corridors of drainages may be involved. These are mostly no name creeks and Beaver Creek. La Shot stated that if this goes far enough he will recommend that the city incorporate not only the flood insurance maps but try to work in a flood hazard study that was done by Soil Conservation Service a few years back. This shows inland drainages. Planning & Zoning Commission December 14, 1995 Minutes Page 3 Glick stated it was his understanding the city would be making a new flood plane zone and then it would follow the building code as outlined. La Shot stated the city would create a new ordinance like the example. The areas would be defined either by elevation or simply using the FEMA map. Glick stated the expense would be creating the ordinance and the building inspection program. La Shot stated it would also involve monitoring and there could be some liabilities there. La Shot stated most of the work would come before actual building, as to whether it was in a flood zone. Councilman Smalley advised that at the last council meeting there was a presentation from residents of Anglers Acres, and had the city had a program in effect, those homeowners could have had insurance programs that would have allowed them to recoup some of their losses. One of the things they asked was when is the city going to involve themselves in the Flood Insurance Program so that they can be afforded protection. The Mayor had advised them it would be a discussion item at this meeting. Smalley stated he was surprised that there were not people in attendance in reference to this item. La Shot stated it is hard to quantify the city's liabilities for not being involved. Bryson referenced Kristy Miller's letter, next to the last paragraph, "the city may want to consider more appropriate standards such as set back standards on erosion prone lots." Bryson stated the erosion prone lots that are being discussed are river erosion and not bluff situations. Bryson stated he felt that would cause critical input to this. La Shot stated he felt the other bluff property could be included because of the proximity to the coastal area. Bryson stated he felt people in the city may be more sensitive toward this, because it can effect a lot of small lots with set backs on bluff properties. La Shot noted that people are starting to make buildings a little more movable. Bryson stated he would interpret this for now as being hydraulic erosion. Walker stated he felt it should be noted that under Section 1.4 they list a number of restrictions and that under these restrictions there would be virtually no development in places like Anglers Acres. Walker stated that one believes that if we are going to have these kinds of restrictions rather than worry about flood insurance, by restricting use of the flood plane, we can strictly obviate the use of that and restrict use in the flood plane if that is the intent. Walker stated he personally feels this is a backward way of placing greater control in the flood plane. Walker stated there are some people in the flood plane for this and some against it. Walker stated he felt that was why the last borough ordinance failed. La Shot stated it does limit development in the flood plane; in fact, it pretty much prevents it unless it is protected o . the construction is lifted above it. Walker stated he would like to see a flood plane map before the Commission to view the properties being discussed. Bryson stated he concurs that the Commission should review a map before making any decisions. Walker asked La Shot if it was his intent that the Commission take a careful review of this item. La Shot stated he would like to pass this on to council with the comments as they are, and should they want to take the matter further, a sample ordinance will be prepared, public hearing, map, etc. Then, further comments can be given. La Shot stated he wanted a few more comments for council before it was sent to them. Planning & Zoning Commission December 14, 1995 Minutes Page 4 CODE ENFORCEMENT ITEMS: Kodysz Home Business Letter —Walker asked if any further comment on this item. Kebschull advised that the certified receipt had not been returned on the letter. REPORTS: City Council —Smalley reported on two meetings, November 22nd and December 6th. At the November 22nd meeting items discussed included: Bids on two patrol cars, transferring up to $10,000 for moving expenses for the new Finance Director, transferred $10,000 to pay for the Challenger Center study, logging beetle kill trees on city properties, the state gave final approval on Glacier Environmental clean up at the courthouse, and Southcentral Air is in business at the airport. Smalley advised there was a meeting last Friday with the legislators to discuss the upcoming legislative session and city's goals. At the December 6th meeting the following items were discussed: Mr. Coghill gave the city's financial statement, residents of Angler's Drive petitioned the city to form an LID to place structures below mean high tide to prevent further erosion at an estimated cost of $200,000, transferred money to repair Christmas decorations transformers, grant was approved for the signs in Old Town and the Shkituk' Village, transferred $8,000 to City Manager for increased transportation expenses, a heavy duty ambulance has been ordered to replace the ambulance which has 75 to 80,000 miles on it, open house at the library on December 14th, work session request from Townsite Historic District Board for January 23rd, possible taxing of pulltabs, bingo, etc., approved assignment of lease for Budget Rent -a -Car transfer at the airport to Bonnie Koerber, Kenai River Boardwalk funding by grant, grant to protect the dunes, the new well being completed, and a possible ordinance for an alcohol and drug testing policy for city employees. (Smalley advised Commission of the federal law and how it would effect the city.) Goecke asked why governmental employees were different from private sector employees. Smalley advised that is how the law is written. Walker asked if this was state or federal law and Smalley advised both. Smalley stated that council had asked administration and city attorney to draft a policy and bring it back to council. Walker asked if the new ambulance will require additional floor space at the fire hall. Smalley advised no and that the old one will be stored somewhere else in dry storage either at the airport or one of the buildings where sand is stored. Walker asked if this equipment could be for staffing and equipment at a fire hall by Thompson Park. Smalley advised that could be possible in the future. Werner-Quade asked why the city police and fire staff would not be subjected to drug testing. Smalley advised that state and federal regulations exempt them. (Discussion on drug and alcohol testing and who the law applies to.) Planning & Zoning Commission December 14, 1995 Minutes Page 5 Borough Planning —Phil Bryson reported that in the packet Item 12F contains the minutes from the November 13th and 27th meetings. Bryson stated he had previously reported on the November 13th meeting. On the 27th, items specific to the city were four plats. One of these was Bailey Subdivision on Lawton Drive. Borough Planning Commission saw fit not to incorporate the city's comments on the plat. The plat was approved as submitted. A meeting was held last Monday night, no items were specific to the City of Kenai. Addressed an item that had stretched over three meetings. There had been a petition to vacate a road that was shown on prior plats on MacDonald Spit the other side of Kachemak Bay. Bryson explained this is a lot where the petitioner had requested to have the trail shown across his lot be removed from the plat. He individually had constructed alternate access and indicated a pedestrian easement. This created adequate access across his lot but neither end of it tied into constructed access. It was not deemed to be appropriate to vacate the commonly used trail. The developer of the subdivision had not constructed a trail he was supposed to have but apparently through the publicity and one court decision he decided to finish the project. He completed the trail in the last two weeks. The Borough Planning Commission approved the petition to have the note removed from the plat. Bryson commented that the Homer Assemblyman has proposed an ordinance setting up an advisory Planning Commission for Kachemak Bay. This would encompass over 200,000 acres. There was some concern on the Planning Commission to have an area that huge under one Planning Commission. This would be from Kachemak Bay to the Anchor River area. There was a request from the Commission to limit it to the Fritz Creek voting district. That will go to the assembly as a recommendation. There is also a request to have a Commission set up for Grey Cliffs area. Administration —La Shot noted the Old Town and Shkituk Village signage grant will be completed and in the mail by the end of the week. The well tests have not been received back and should be received any time. Walker asked how deep the well was. La Shot stated 420 feet and screened from 350 to 400 feet. Walker asked if this was a six inch well and La Shot advised twelve inch. Discussion on how deep the well was screened. INFORMATION ITEMS: Work Session--Shkituk' Village Site —January 23, 1996 at 6 p.m. —Walker asked the Commission felt about this work session. Walker noted that he is out of town half of the Tuesdays of each month, he may nor may not be able to attend. Mahurin stated she may also be unavailable. No other Commissioners noted any conflict to the scheduled work session. Kenai Habitat Restoration and Recreation Enhancement Project Werner-Quade commented that she was happy to see this project as she had attended a work session in this regard. She noted that this is a very fragile habitat area. Planning & Zoning Commission December 14, 1995 Minutes Page 6 COMMISSION COMMENTS & QUESTIONS: Mahurin welcomed Mr. Booth and wished everyone a Merry Christmas. Councilman Smalley welcomed Mr. Booth. In addition, noted he would be out of state and unavailable for the next meeting on December 27rh but would try to have someone cover the meeting for him. Chairman Walker welcomed Mr. Booth.

ITEM B: SCHEDULED PUBLIC COMd M B-1. Bill Coghill - Mikunda Cottrell/City Financial Statement and Audit. Mr. Coghill referred to the financial statement and audit report forwarded to council with their packets. Coghill reported there were no exceptions, findings or questioned costs. The financial statement revealed the city is in excellent financial health and condition. The fund balances have increased throughout the year. There was a small decrease in sales tax. The summary letter, written by Finance Director Brown, is very informative and Coghill encouraged council to review it. Councilman Smalley referred to recommendations made last year to improve the overall procedures and asked if those problems had been satisfied. Coghill answered yes and added, the city has been excellent in internal control. Last year there were two comments made about purchase orders and travel vouchers procedures. There were none this year. Coghill added his appreciation of the work done over the years by Finance Director Brown. Coghill stated, Brown's expertise made his job easy. Also, that Brown ran the city's Finance Department very well. He also stated he was looking forward to working with Mr. Sweeney and hoped council would review the financial statement and contact him with any questions they may have. Williams thanked Coghill on behalf of the council for his firm's good work. Williams asked if there were any specific areas council should be aware of. Coghill suggested council read Brown's summary letter and to watch the sales tax decrease. If there is a large drop in sales tax, it would have a significant affect on the city. B-2. Ron Rainey - LID Preliminary Request/Intervention with the Habitat Divisions of Fish & Game and Parks for Placing Structures Below Mean High Tide in the Kenai River. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 3 Mr. Rainey distributed photographs of the bluff area on his property along the Kenai River (property in 1988, 1992 with a change in the walkway due to boat traffic in the area, and after the fall flood). Rainey stated he planned to apply for a permit to do a major project along his property (placing gabions) and referred to the information included in the packet. The cost of the project (which includes four lots) has been estimated at $200,000. Rainey requested council's consideration of an LID for the properties. Rainey referred to the information included in council's packet which outlined the project. Rainey added, city staff could discuss the project with Bill Nelson, the engineer who designed the project. Rainey explained he plans to submit the project to the Department of Fish and Game which has Exxon Valdez funding for waterway/ waterbody restoration projects. If his project is chosen he could receive 50% of the funding. However, he does not feel confident that he will receive the funding as Fish & Game is not fond of gabions or him. Rainey requested a resolution in support of his project to attach with his application to Fish & Game. Rainey also requested council to consider getting National Flood Insurance for the municipality. Williams reported that the Planning & Zoning Commission is researching the need for the City to acquire flood insurance. At this time, there has been no decision made. Also, the area of Rainey's property was the only area with flood drainage problems. Swarner asked Rainey if he intended the information included in the packet to be a petition of the property owners. Rainey answered yes. Swarner asked if the petition had been submitted to the City Clerk. Rainey answered no, but he planned to during the week. Smalley asked Kornelis if there was a dollar impact from the flood to either private or public property in the city. Kornelis answered there was damage to the storm drainage on Mission Avenue and to the parking area at the beluga outlook. FEMA will reimburse for some of those costs. Of private property damage, Kornelis was only aware of Rainey's problems. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 4 Williams reviewed the Kenai Municipal Code in regard to petitions for LID's and noted that if council wanted to go ahead with the LID steps, Rainey would need to submit his petition to the Clerk. Bookey stated he thought the resolution request and the LID petition were two different items. He added, he thought the council could go ahead with a resolution and Rainey should submit his petition. Swarner agreed. Moore asked if the improvements were made through an LID, does the city have the technology that the improvements will remain for twenty years or more. Williams answered that was what the city manager will report back to council according to the Code. Bannock stated he would also support a resolution to the agency for funding the project. Smalley agreed, adding he would wait for the city manager's report before going forward with any other decision. Attorney Graves stated Rainey needed to file his LID petition with the City Clerk and start the LID procedure. Rainey stated he would like to consider the petition filed with the Clerk, as it was submitted for inclusion in the packet. Williams asked Clerk Freas if she would accept the LID petition as submitted. Freas stated she would. Administration was requested to submit a resolution in support of Rainey's application to the Fish & Game for restoration funding. ITEM C: PUBLIC HEARINGS C-1. Ordinance No. 1669-95 - Amending Kenai Municipal Code, Chapter 8.05.010 to Adopt the Latest Editions of the National Fire Codes and the Uniform Fire Code. MOTION: Councilman Bookey MOVED for adoption of Ordinance No. 1669-95 and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. There were no public or council comments. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 5 VOTE: Moore: Yes Measles: Absent Bannock: Yes Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes Bookey: Yes Swarner: Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. C-2. Resolution No. 95-73 - Transferring $2,500 in the General Fund for Additional Money to Complete the Repair and Replacement of Christmas Decoration Transformers. MOTION: Councilman Bannock MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 95-73 and Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. Councilwoman Swarner requested UNANIMOUS CONSENT. Bob Peters - Peters introduced himself as a resident of Old Town in Kenai. Peters asked if the $2,500 was for repairing the Christmas ornaments. Williams explained the funds were for repairing the transformers on the light poles. Parks & Recreation Director McGillivray further explained that all the light poles have transformers in them, however some are too small for the lights that are put up. Repairs to the transformers should be completed, however there are two or three poles which have dirt piled in front of them from the road project. They will not be able to get close enough to those poles to repair them and will not have decorations on them this year. A pole in front of Carrs is to be moved in the summer and they did not want to repair that transformer as they do not know where that pole will be placed. Williams explained that a few of the transformers have been repaired each year and this should complete the repair project. Moore asked if the $2,500 would cover the cost of repairing all of the poles or only the ones that can be reached. McGillivray answered, all the ones that can be reached. The others that cannot be reached this year will be repaired with next year's budget. VOTE: There were no objections to the request for UNANIMOUS CONSENT. 80 ORDERED. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 6 C-3. Resolution No. 95-74 - Authorizing the City Manager, Thomas J. Manninen, to Submit to the State of Alaska an Application for a Federal Grant for a Historical Public Preservation Education Project for a Signage Project in the Townsite Historic District and the Shkituk' Village Site of Kenai, Alaska. MOTION: Councilman Smalley MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 95-74 and Councilman Bannock SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Smalley noted the size of the large sign did not agree with the Code allowances. Bookey asked if prior approval will be received from the property owners so not to offend anyone. Councilman Moore reported he asked Board members that question. They plan to ask permission to place the signs if the grant is obtained. Moore reminded council the grant would allow for a 60% reimbursement of costs of the signage project. The City will be responsible for 40% of the cost. Bannock added, the Rotary Club will be volunteering labor. Finance Director Sweeney noted that the granting agency will allow some value on the volunteer labor which may lower the city's portion. Smalley noted that a variance will be needed for the large sign. Swarner stated she would oppose the resolution to apply for the grant due to the sign code problem. She added, she would want to see a resolution to that problem. Williams added that problem was being discussed and reviewed by staff. Swarner added, she did not want anyone to expend a lot of time and energy on a grant application if the sign is illegal. Williams stated that if the sign was found not in compliance, steps could be taken to correct it. The grant application does not discuss specifically the size and detail of the sign project. Williams suggested the grant be applied for and the details be worked out. VOTE: Moore: Yes Smalley: Yes Swarner: No MOTION PASSED. Measles: Absent Williams: Yes Bannock: Yes Bookey: Yes KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 7 C-4. Resolution No. 95-75 - Transferring $8,000 in the General Fund for Additional Miscellaneous and Transportation Expenses in the City Manager Department. MOTION: Councilman Bookey MOVED for adoption of Resolution No. 95-75 and Councilwoman Swarner SECONDED the motion. There were no public comments. Williams requested an explanation for the request from City Manager Manninen. Manninen explained there were a couple of things that happened this year that were not anticipated, i.e. the interviews with two of the Finance Director applicants. They came into Kenai from Kotzebue and Sitka and he ended up going to Sitka. All three were not budgeted items. They were taken out of the city manager's budget, not other budgets and therefore he requested that be replaced for reasons for travel that was budgeted and still has to be done unless the council decides that the city won't be as active in legislative lobbying which was anticipated. Williams asked if it would be more legitimate to take $12,000 from an unencumbered balance in travel from the Finance budget. Would it be legitimate to take some of that money from Finance transportation into the manager's transportation? Finance Director Sweeney stated he would do an analysis of balances and compliance and make a report available to the city manager. Williams asked if council wanted to authorize the transfer from contingency or wait until a report is made by the Finance Director. Swarner asked if there was money in finance for Sweeney's move? Williams stated he thought that was what Sweeney wanted to do. Wait until it is known how much he will need for his move and then make a report back to council. Manninen stated he thought the money ($12,000) that is there, part of it was money anticipated using for the moving of Mr. Sweeney and his household up here and is not being spent for other things but will probably be spent for the move eventually or most of it will. He believes if council is looking at that money, frankly as something to replace this, by the time it is all said and done, there may not be much left. Councilman Moore referred to the portion of the resolution in regard to the $3,500 in miscellaneous. Moore noted that increase would double the budget in miscellaneous. He reviewed the 94/95 KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 8 financial statement where $3,500 was originally budgeted and almost $7,000 was spent. Moore stated he was curious, in looking at the city information packet, the items contained in the miscellaneous expenses were items such as Chamber dues, AML dues, subscription and publication costs. Moore asked if those items were not known prior to the budget time or have there been unexpected increases in those items. Manninen stated he probably missed the budgeted amount and put in what was budgeted last year. He had an adjustment last year too. Williams added, he remembered the City Manager's budget also had been adjusted last year. Smalley referred to the additional revenues for the Juneau legislative session, and asked if that was something that should have been anticipated as it was discussed at budget time being more effective in Juneau. Council makes their decision at budget time as to the amounts in the budget and are concerned when additions to budgets must be made. Williams reminded council that when Manninen was hired, it was anticipated that his efforts in Juneau would be greater. Williams added, he believed what may have happened was that council probably did not fully budget for the anticipated increased effort in Juneau in last year's budget. An addition needed to be made at that time. In this year's budget, it was an error in not accounting for that needed increase. Williams added, he believed the council did not review the city manager's budget closely enough. VOTE: Moore: Yes Measles: Absent Bannock: Yes Smalley: Yes Williams: Yes Bookey: Yes Swarner: Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. C-5. Resolution No. 95-76 - Awarding the Bid for One Heavy - Duty Ambulance to United Fire Service, Inc. for a Lump Sum Amount of $127,513.00. MOTION: Councilman Bookey MOVED for approval of Resolution No. 95-76 and Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 9 There were no public comments. Councilman Smalley noted the bid cost was lower than what was initially discussed would be the cost a few years ago. At that time, it was thought the cost for a new ambulance would be $125,000. Smalley asked if there was a potential for reimbursement. Fire Chief Burnett answered he did not anticipate getting any reimbursement from the state, although they will continue pursuing grant money. The truck will be transported by barge. Burnett further explained there were four exceptions listed with United Fire Service, Inc.'s bid. They were minor exceptions. The other bidder listed 30+ exceptions. This ambulance has a larger chassis and more heavy-duty. It should last longer. Williams asked what they would do with the retiring ambulance. Burnett answered they had not decided as yet, however, if they give it away, he believed it should be advertised to other communities in need of an ambulance. Smalley stated he would support finding a community in need. Bookey stated he was concerned about the funding for the original purchase and that donation of the retiring ambulance should be a different discussion. Williams suggested that up ambulance for use at there is no room in the ambulance and it would Burnett added, the new VOTE: Moore: Yes Smalley: Yes Swarner: Yes the retiring ambulance be kept as a back - football games, etc. Burnett stated fire hall for storage of the old not be good for it to be stored outside. ambulance should be delivered in May.

Council on Aging Councilwoman Swarner reported a meeting was scheduled for 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday. Also, Mr. Grasso visited the Center and updated the seniors and administration on the assisted living complex. Councilman Smalley asked if administration discussed with Grasso about the piece of property to be used for the condominiums and utilizing the entire piece of property if a commercial zone is not going to be developed into a larger piece. Williams noted Clerk Freas had talked with Grasso and requested a report. Freas explained that an ordinance would be introduced at the next council meeting to determine property not needed for public purpose. If introduced at the December 20 meeting, the public hearing would be held on January 3. Mr. Grasso and Ms. Robbins want to attend that meeting to give a discussion on the condominiums and an update on the living center. Grasso wanted to be sure that most of the council would be in attendance and that Planning & Zoning Commission members would be invited to attend the meeting as well. Grasso is not planning on being in attendance at the January tenth meeting, and did ask if there was a possibility that the P&Z meeting could be changed to be close to the council meeting and that he and Robbins would be available to answer any questions either meeting discussion might bring forward. Grasso will be calling again on Tuesday. A decision from council as to changing the P&Z meeting date could be made at their December 20 meeting. Senior Center Director Porter explained that the poinsettias placed on the counter for council were given to them by the Senior Connection in appreciation of council's continued support of the senior programs. D-2. Airport Commission Airport Manager Ernst reported the next scheduled meeting would be December 14. Williams suggested council consider adding money to the budget for additional Christmas decorations throughout the airport. Ernst stated that the renters put up decorations in their own areas. Ernst added, he could have decorations placed in the terminal windows if council wished. Williams requested lights be put up. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 11 D-3. Harbor Commission Councilman Bookey reported the next meeting of the Commission was scheduled for December 11. He will be out of town at that time and invited another member of council to attend the meeting in his place. D-4. Library Commission Councilman Moore reported the Commission met December 5. The focus of the meeting was the building expansion. The Commission set a Goals & Objectives Committee to decide what is needed for the library and base the expansion goals on the needs. Two members of the committee will be from the Friends of the Library. The Commission's member to the committee will be Kevin Benson. Moore reminded council of the Library's annual Open House scheduled for December 14. Moore also referred to a copy of Environmental News which was distributed to council at the beginning of the meeting. In the News there appears an article in regard to the contaminated soils, etc. at Wildwood. Moore reported that much of the information was found through research at the Library. D-5. Parks & Recreation Commission Councilman Bannock reported the next meeting was scheduled for December 7. D-6. Planning & Zoning commission Councilman Smalley reported the next meeting would be held on December 13. D-7.

A memorandum in the packet requesting the Board's next 3 from December 26 to December 19, however there members attending to have a quorum. There are remaining on the Board since the resignation of Roger Meeks. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 12 Williams suggested the Board members find other members of the community to apply for appointment to the Board. Williams also requested a letter be sent to the Board members requesting they try to find applicants and also forward information in regard to the criteria of the Code for membership and attendance. Williams referred to the minutes in which the attendance letter was discussed by the Board. Bannock added, he read the minutes as well. Bannock stated that the Planning & Zoning Commission has had members who resigned from the Commission due to job restraints. If someone cannot make the meeting, there are others on the commission to attend and make the quorum. Council decided that the meeting date should not be changed if it was doubtful that there would not be a quorum anyway. If there are applications submitted to council for appointment to the Board at the December 20 meeting, there may be enough members available to make a quorum. If no applications are received and there won't be a quorum, Clerk Freas is to bring it to council's attention at the December 20 meeting and council will cancel the December meeting of the Board at that time. Moore noted the request (included in the packet) for the Board to schedule a joint work session with other commissions. Council had no objections, however it was requested the other commissioners be invited by memorandum which indicates what will be discussed. Challenger Steering Committee - Williams reported the next scheduled Steering Committee meeting was scheduled for December 7 at the Flight Service Station. Williams reported that two of the committee's members will travel to Seattle to go through a Challenger Learning Center there.

Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. There were no objections. SO ORDERED. H-4. Discussion - Kenai River Boardwalk Project. Williams referred to the information from the State Department of Fish and Game, Habitat and Restoration Division which was included in the packet. The cover letter discussed funds that were made available to Fish & Game and the Department of Natural Resources from the Exxon Valdez Trustee Council to conduct restoration projects that affect public lands on the Kenai River. In the cover letter, the writer (Mark Kuwada) requested suggested projects from the city. Williams asked council if they wanted to pursue developing the boardwalk through this program. Swarner stated she thought the boardwalk project would be acceptable, however felt upgrading Cunningham Park would be better. Bookey stated he felt both those projects were good, but suggested the dune destruction and problems at the mouth of the River were move visible and viable than either of the previously suggested projects. Kornelis reported he had read through the material and found that much of the suggested restorative work could include walkways to beaches, stairs, signage, etc. which were discussed as ways to protect the dunes and mouth of the River. Councilman Smalley suggested asking Kuwada if stabilization of the bluff would be a viable project. Williams requested administration to contact Kuwada and ask if bluff stabilization would be an acceptable project. If so, add it to the list of suggested projects: dune protection, etc. at mouth of the River, upgrade of Cunningham Park and bluff stabilization. Forward the suggested projects to Fish & Game. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 15 H-5. Discussion - Alcohol and Drug Testing Policies. Williams requested Manninen to discuss this matter as he was reluctant to give direction without having the concurrence of council, etc. Manninen explained the concerns that they have are basically questions that are included in the information in the packet the discussion of personnel policy related decisions and what triggers those decisions such as alcohol concentration of .04 greater and whether that means there would be some type of disciplinary action taken automatically, and if so, what that would be. Or, if it would mean automatic severe disciplinary action, such as termination. Basically, it is getting to an employee assistance program that may be required to follow and or through with the policies if they are put in place as required on January 1, 1996 for people with CDL's. Those are the people in the Department of Public Works, but not required automatically for police and fire. Williams suggested that administration should present a developed policy for council to review. The policy could be developed with the language necessary for each of the questions being asked and bring it back to council for review and possible action. Bookey stated the private sector law is pretty straight forward and he would like to have the city policy follow the private sector law. Manninen stated he understood council's request for administration to bring back a policy at the next council meeting and say this is the suggested policy for handling this issue and then discuss the policy instead of answering each question which was included in the packet memo. Williams answered yes, because there are ramifications that council is not aware of in regard to what the law allows, etc. Councilman Bannock agreed with the request for administration to bring back a policy. Bannock referred to the last paragraph of the memo included in the packet where it states that only those who will be tested will be those requiring a CDL. Bannock stated he disagreed with that and felt it would discriminate and the policy should apply to the entire work force. He supports the policy, but would like to see it for everyone. Smalley agreed the policy should not apply to only selected employees. Attorney Graves disagreed and added, there are limits to what the city can do as far as drug and alcohol testing for KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 16 government employees. The Supreme Court, when approved testing for private employers and employees, said they had their doubts as to whether it would be allowable for all government employees. Generally, it has been allowable for safety sensitive positions because of the need to protect the public. The general consensus is if there is a secretary or administrator who is not doing a safety -sensitive position, there would be a lot of questions of whether they would be required to have the testing. Graves added, it may not be fair, but it is the consensus of the opinion in Alaska. Williams asked if then the private sector could develop a policy that would apply to all their employees regardless of the job description, but the government sector cannot develop a policy with regard to all of its employees regardless of the job description? Williams stated he disagreed with that. Graves stated it may not be fair, but it is the law. Private employers can fire on the spot if they feel they have cause. The laws in public employment say the employer must be given a hearing before firing and if that is not done, the government will be liable for damages. The standards are different. Graves added he feels there are areas where testing could be done, where the plan says not to test like police and fire, even though they don't have CDL's, but are safety -sensitive positions. Graves stated he did not think testing any governmental employee could be done. Smalley asked if testing could be done on any governmental employee that operates a city vehicle because of the safety factor? Councilwoman Swarner stated she would like the policy to include as many city employees as the law will allow. She added, she was surprised that the fire employees are exempt and feels they should be included as their work is safety sensitive. Councilman Moore questioned, when receiving federal money, do all employees need to sign a Drug Free Workplace Act and whether that Act is in place at this time. It is part of the grant requirements. Smalley asked Attorney Graves if it seemed logical that if an employee operates a city vehicle, it is a safety -sensitive situation? Graves answered, it is a point to consider. The Alaska Supreme Court, when it approved the Neighbors Drilling case, allowing drug testing in the private sector, it was stated that they did not have to deal with the public sector other than KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 17 requiring testing for safety -sensitive issues. They did not define it closely. He will research other cases that he can review and tailor the policy along those lines. Smalley asked that it be a consideration when writing the policy. Administration was directed to bring back a written policy for the next council meeting. EXECUTIVE SESSION None. ITEM I: ADMINISTRATION REPORTS I-1. Mayor a. National League of Cities Conference - Williams gave a short report of his attendance at the NLC Conference. He was particularly interested in the WorldWide Web information and the possibility of whether the city should consider connection into the system. Williams requested council direct administration to set a committee of two to three employees interested in computers to examine the issue. Williams suggested the city could have a page on the Web and include information from the Information Manual. Swarner and Smalley agreed with Williams' idea. Administration was asked to set a committee and investigate the possibilities. b. Student Government Day - Williams reminded council that January 3 has been set as Student Government Day. c. Games of Chance/Contests of Skill - Williams thanked Attorney Graves for the information he included in the packet as to communities in 'the state who have taxed earnings from the sale of pull -tabs, bingo games, etc. Graves was asked to find out from those communities who have taxed the games, what amount of tax money was generated. Clerk Freas reported she wrote and requested information from the Department of Revenue in regard to the applications in the city and amounts of monies the applicants made through their sales and games. Freas added, she was told that they will supply a list of applicants and a gross amount. They cannot divulge the actual amounts as it is not public information. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 18 1-2. City Manager a. Kenai Chamber of Commerce - Manninen referred to a letter from the Chamber which was added to the agenda at the beginning of the meeting. The letter requested a one-time $500 donation for the Snow Goose Classic for the Chamber. Manninen explained, basically, it would make the city one of the Flyway Club charter members. It would be a one-time membership for $500 and the guaranteed purse (by Tesoro Alaska) this year is $10,000 for 1996. The oil service companies, financial institutions and various businesses which are members of the Chamber are being solicited for this to be one-time members to get the Snow Goose Classic Flyway Club operation going. There's going to be one huge ten foot goose in town, several businesses with ponds of sand and geese on them. The sales will be done at these various business places and will be capped off in January with the annual Snow Goose ball. If the city considers being a member of the Flyway Club, he was designated to make the request. Councilwoman Swarner suggested waiting to see if other businesses in town participate. Manninen added he spoke with one of the banks and they will be giving a donation of $500. Bill Stamps, Bill Coghill, Bill Kluge, Lloyd Johnson, and himself are on the committee and will be contacting people randomly. Bill Stamps stated he has had two or three oil service companies commit. The deadline is a week from Friday. Councilman Bannock asked if the city had budgeted money to give to the Chamber. Swarner answered the city pays dues. Williams added the city used to budget funding to the Chamber, but stopped when the Visitors Center opened. Funding now goes to the Visitors Center. MOTION: Councilman Bannock MOVED to contribute the sum of $500 and become a sponsor of the Flyway Club. Councilman Smalley SECONDED the motion. Councilwoman stated she would like to see a list of other donors. VOTE: There were no objections. SO ORDERED. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 19 b. Water Well - Manninen reported that this item, which everyone has been concerned about and over the last three years has been number one on the priority list and still is, is the city's water well. The latest information from Public Works and the well drillers is that water well No. 3 was tested at 1,000 gpm. The test results are not in yet, but the pumping is there at 1,000 gpm. The chemical tests have been sent out and should be back within one or two weeks. Hopefully the city will get some quality water but won't know until the tests are back. Manninen added, the new casing is down 420 feet (70 ft. of screen and 350 ft. down) Smalley asked how the flow compare to the well where the casing was lost. Kornelis answered they had not progressed that far on that well. Kornelis added, the city was hoping for 1,200 gpm, but 1,000 will be plenty. It could be better when the actual production pump is set. C. EDD - Manninen reported the EDD will have a meeting tomorrow and has requested that Mayor Williams be there at 5:00 p.m. for a presentation -- a thank you for the donation the city gave. I-3. Attorney Attorney Graves informed council he will be taking annual leave for ten days in January, but will not miss any council meetings. 1-4. City Clerk No report. I-5. Finance Director Finance Director Sweeney stated he was pleased to have been selected as the new finance director. He added, he looked forward to filling Mr. Brown's shoes and to giving the quality work the city was used to. Public Works Director a. Spur Highway Project - Public Works Director Kornelis referred to Information Item No. 18 which was his letter to DOT KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 20 delineating concerns of council in regard to traff is lights, barricades/markers, and signs. Kornelis added, he had not received an answer from DOT as yet. b. STIP Plan - Kornelis informed council he met with members of the State Planning Department from Anchorage and Juneau at which time they discussed the needs list. Kornelis added he received a copy of the list and he would have more information in the next packet. The city has until January 8 to comment on the list. on Spruce Beetle Kill Trees - Kornelis referred to Information No. 7 was a copy of his letter to Section 36 property owners asking for their input about removal of beetle kill trees from that area. He has not received any responses. d. Timber Harvesting - Kornelis informed council of a meeting on December 7 at the Kenai Merit Inn in regard to timber harvesting. He will be attending the meeting. e. Sign Permits - Kornelis referred to Information Item No. 14 regarding steps in acquiring sign permits. This was information council requested at a previous meeting. f. Aildwood Facility Ground Contamination - Kornelis informed council a public hearing will be held at the Visitors Center on December 13 regarding Wildwood contamination. The hearing will be conducted by the Corps of Engineers. He and Engineering Technician Clark will be attending. g. Congregate Housing Solarium - (Information Item No. 10) Kornelis referred to his letter to Blazy Construction in regard to extension of time for construction of the solarium. Kornelis stated he told Blazy he would bring the matter to their attention. There were no council comments. i. Mission Street Improvements - Kornelis reported a public hearing would be held on December 19 in regard to the Mission Street improvements. Letters containing the hearing information were sent to property owners and Historic District Board members. They hope to discuss the street route and rights - of -way. There are funds in the STIP program for the improvements. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 21 Williams asked if the Forest Drive project was on the STIP list. Kornelis answered yes, however the listings and classes of roads have changed. Forest Drive is listed now as a Class 3 road. I-7. Airport Manager a. Airport Towing - Airport Manager Ernst reported he terminated the contract with Protec Towing (towing cars from the airport parking lots) due to that company not being able to obtain the required insurance. In the interim, Guardian Security, during their route, has been checking for cars parked illegally at the airport and calling Jackson Sales and Service to impound them until the first of the year when an RFP can be put out. If this arrangement works well, and because there are not many vehicles being impounded anymore, he would like to continue this arrangement in lieu of an RFP. The arrangement has worked well because the towing company does not have to send someone to the airport to check the lot during the early hours of the morning. Guardian is on the airport for their security checks during that time, they consented to do this. b. Aircraft Firefighting Facility - Ernst reported that he and Fire Chief Burnett would be traveling to Dallas/Fort Worth to tour the aircraft firefighting facility there. Their facility is the same as what has been proposed to be built along Marathon Road. Williams remarked that the city had come full circle in regard to the airport towing. At first Jackson was the preferred towing company and the city decided to go to bid for the service. Costs for towing companies include the towing vehicle, insurance, cost for a driver, etc. Williams asked if council would consider allowing Jackson to do the towing since the job has come back to him after four other businesses either went out of business or left the state. Ernst stated there is no reason why the city would have to go to bid for the towing service as there is no monetary benefit to the city. Attorney Graves agreed the city does not make income from towing the vehicles. Ernst added that Jackson also has a yard close to the airport. Williams agreed and asked that as long as Jackson was in business, as long as he does not do anything detrimental to the city, that the city should just use him. Bookey asked if Guardian would continue to check the lots and call Jackson if vehicles are needing towed. Ernst stated he did KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 22 not think a contract would have to be done. Swarner, Smalley and Bookey stated they were comfortable with that arrangement. Councilman Bannock asked if the job were assigned to Guardian and the city does not tell Guardian who to tow the car, then the city has no problem with whomever tows the vehicle. Bannock stated he would have a problem with saying that unequivocally that Jackson is the city's towing company. If the city is not in an equitable condition for the tows, the only concern for the city should be that the car be towed. Guardian could have whomever tow the vehicle that they wanted. Williams stated he understood Bannock's concern, but that the city has dealt with every towing company in the city. Bannock again stated he would have a problem with the city telling Guardian what company to call to tow. Bookey asked if the city should have some way to be sure that the company who will be towing the vehicles is legitimate, has a proper place to hold the vehicle, etc. because the city would, in the end, be liable. Williams agreed and added, the company should operate within the city of Kenai. Ernst stated another problem is the people who are being impounded. Without having a particular towing company, the notification is almost impossible when those people want to know where the vehicle is being held. Williams stated that Ernst should make a deal with Guardian that best suits Ernst and the City. ITEM J: DISCUSSION Citizens a. Eaily DeForest - DeForest spoke in regard to the environmental meeting to be held on December 13 regarding the Wildwood Facility. Those persons researching the Wildwood property spent about two weeks at the library looking through records, etc. DeForest added she hoped someone from the city would attend the meeting. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 23 J-2. Council Bookey - a. Bookey reported he appreciated the story which appeared in the Peninsula Clarion in regard to the Kenai Police Department and the drug/alcohol awareness program. b. Bookey referred to the DEC letter which was added to the agenda as Information Item No. 18. Mayor Williams stated he would speak to it. C. Bookey requested a calendar for the wall by his seat for 1996. Swarner - a. Swarner reminded council of the library open house and invited council to her family open house on Sunday, December 17. Moore - Moore noted that the City of Soldotna had been advising citizens to leave water running in their faucets to help in preventing water lines freezing. Moore asked if that was a problem in Kenai. Kornelis stated, so far there was not a problem. With older service lines, there could be a problem. They will make an announcement if there is need. Bannock - No report. Smalley - a. Reminded council that they had discussed having an open meeting in regard to off -road vehicles. b. Smalley stated he was happy to see Information Item No. 16, a letter from DEC stating that no further action is required in the remediation of the contaminated soils at the court house. Williams - Mayor Williams referred to Information Item No. 18, which was added to the agenda at the beginning of the meeting. The item was a letter from DEC in regard to the city property which was formerly leased to Kenai Aviation Services, Inc. The property contains underground fuel storage tank systems. Williams read from the last paragraph of the letter wherein DEC stated they were "confident that a plan and schedule for closure can be developed that will fit into your overall facility work plan." Williams suggested council direct administration to move in a fiscal and astute manner in working with the DEC Storage Tank Program group and be very careful as to committing any major funding to the project, but see what can possibly be done in a cooperative manner to bring the matter to conclusion. KENAI CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES DECEMBER 6, 1995 PAGE 24 ITEM K: ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at approximately 9:40 p.m. Minutes transcribed and submitted by: Carol L. Freas, City Clerk 6-1 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Williams and City Council THROUGH: Tom Manninen, City Manager FROM: Keith Komelis, Public Works Dir or DATE: December 15, 1995 SUBJECT: Timber Sale on City Lands FOR: Council meeting of December 20, 1995 - Discussion I attended the meeting on December 7, 1995 conducted by the Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) on "Selectively Harvest Your Trees." I was shocked at the number of people that attended and the number of loggers and saw mills on the Kenai Peninsula. Mark Hodgins, the moderator, said there are 53 saw mills on the Peninsula! The City Manager and I met with Mark Hodgins on December 8, 1995 and RC&D would like to make a presentation to the Kenai City Council on December 20, 1995. Since they will be making a presentation I will not, in this letter, get into details other than the following: I. If the city decides to allow logging on our land we need to make some decisions. A. I think the city needs to make a determination of what we want our land to look like after it is logged. 1. Do we want only the infested and dead trees removed? 2. Do we want dead and infested and all trees over 9" removed? Some people say all trees over 9" are eventually going to be infested and die or be blown over. Others say if the trees are in healthy clumps they will survive. Keep in mind that healthy trees weigh more and payment sometimes is made by $ x/ton. (Estimate $6/ton and 30 ton/acre = $180/acre.) 3. Do we want the tree cut very close to the ground or 2-3 feet off the ground and do we want the stumps removed? Some machines clip or saw trees close to the ground. Using chain saws to cut the trees may be higher. 4. Do we care what happens to our harvested trees? Some people say it is a shame to chip the trees. We should promote value added products and sell to those who are going to make something like logs for homes, decking, building timber, etc. Others say we should sell to chippers who will pay the land owners more since they use more of the tree. Page 2 Timber Sale 12/15/95 5. What should we require be done with the limbs and bark? Should they be hauled away or burned on site (which will require a cleared burn area.) Burning on site can cause a tremendous amount of smoke and burn smell. 6. How, or what, method should we allow for harvesting? Some machines grab the tree which prevents it from falling and knocking down other trees. Some machines can scar and mark up the ground leaving it looking bad. State Foresters say this is great for future trees sprouting up. B. Should the city bid the harvesting or logging of trees on city property? 1. Should we bid all city lands small and large as many different bids or one large bid? 2. Based on the above, how we want our land to look after logging, what specification should we put in the bid specs? Should we give the trees to whoever will give us the most money? Well, I personally have cut a few trees down for Christmas and a few for firewood for my own fireplace so I think I would be considered on the lower end of the hundreds and hundreds of loggers on the peninsula. Point one is - we have people who will cut trees off a small city lot to companies that won't consider logging land that is not larger than 40 acres. Point two - I know very little about logging so any help I can get would be appreciated. KK/kw Attachments Attachments: a. RC&D flyer for 1217/95 meeting b.

Hansen Jesse Wade Dena' ina Point Association James Magee Subject: Beetle Killed Trees The Council of the City of Kenai discussed proposals to cut down beetle infested or dead trees from Peninsula Logging and Spruce Works Co., Inc., at their meeting of November 22, 1995. The area discussed was city owned land in Section 36. Mr. Payment, from Peninsula Logging, stated they would like to cut beetle infested and dead trees for resale as firewood. Mr. Jorgensen, from Spruce Works Co., Inc., stated they would like to cut old growth and infested trees for logs, tongue and groove paneling, decking, and framing materials. Enclosed are the items that were in the city council packet for discussion, which includes a map and Spruce Works Co., Inc. letter of November 6, 1995. The Council requested Administration contact you to see how you feel about these two proposals. The land the city owns is intermingled within areas that are privately owned. The Council would like to know: 1. If there are objections to cutting of trees on city land from the private land owners in this area. 2. If private property owners want the beetle infested and dead trees removed from their property. (In this case, you may be asked to enter some type of agreement with the loggers and the city.) 3. If private property owners have no objection to cutting trees on city land, but do not want any trees cut on their land. (In this case we would want property lines surveyed so they will not get on your property.) Page 2 Section 36 Logging 11/28/95 In any case, the city would like to know your feelings about logging in Section 36. 1 think the council is only considering logging beetle infested and dead trees, not old growth trees that are not infested. Please write Tom Manninen, City Manager, or Keith Kornelis, Public Works Director, at the above address with your thoughts concerning logging in Section 36. We would appreciate hearing from you by December 20, 1995. Thank you.

Hansen Jesse Wade Dena'ina Point Association James Magee Dear As I mentioned in my previous letter to you dated 11/28/95, the City of Kenai is interested in having the beetle infested and dead trees removed from city lands. After the letter was sent, I found out there is a tremendous interest in this logging operation. The Resource Conservation and Development (RDC) is scheduled to make a presentation to the City Council at their meeting of 12/20/95. The council meeting is scheduled to start at 7:00 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers. You are invited and encouraged to attend. If you have the comments I requested in my previous letter to me prior to noon on Friday, 12/15/95, 1 will send them to the council in their packets for the council meeting.

BOX 1390 KENAI, ALASKA 99611 December 18, 1995 SUBJECT: Beetle Kill Trees, Section 36 of Kenai. This letter is in response to a request from Keith Kornelis for my feelings, as a property owner, about logging in Section 36. I think this is an opportunity for the City to explore ways of helping to develop right-of-ways in Section 36. In my mind it would be most ideal to have beetle infested and dead trees removed from the City owned property including all the street right-of-ways and in return ask the logging contrac- tor to clear the right-of-ways for proposed streets. This would help facili- tate the development of Section 36 and provide transportation corridors for the contractor to use. A city employee should supervise (such as daily visits) the project to be certain the contractor stays within the right-of-ways and within the City owned land. I would suggest calling this phase one. Phase two would follow; the private property owners would now have an idea of the "lay of their land" and be willing to walk their properties with a log- ging contractor and allow him to select the beetle infested and dead trees, and perhaps old growth trees not infested to be cut. These are my thoughts and suggestions. Sincerely, Peter 0. Hansen, M.D. POH:rs KENRI.PENINSULR RESOURCE CONSERURTION RND DEUELOPMENfDISTRIIfi 110 TRROING BRY RD., SUITE 159 R@fthmd ` P� Works D pt. KENRI, RLflSKR 99611 ` (907) 283-8732 We would like to thank all of you for attending the recent Timber Operators and Timber Owners Workshop. We hope it was informative and helpful. Should you have any future needs or help with resource or community development'do not hesitate to call on the RC&D or your community representative. We would like to extend our thank you to all who presented and served on the panel. Below, please find a brief synopsis of the workshop and the list of all who attended. Mark Hodgins opened the meeting with a brief purpose of the workshop. It was intended to provide small timber owners with information about timber harvest and their options. Its other intention was to put timber owners in contact with small timber operators and also to stimulate ideas and options for operators. Overall, the workshop was a first step in facilitating small business opportunities in the timber industry while providing information that may help sustain the resource and industry. Wade Wahrenbrach of the State Forest Service provided information about the spruce bark beetle, its life cycle, and the infestation on the Peninsula. He also presented an informative video and slides. Jeff Graham of the State Forest Stewardship program provided information about logging techniques, bark beetle suppression techniques, reforestation etc. Pesticides was a topic with conflicting information so pesticide use information should be obtained from the Extension Service to make sure use is legal. A panel of operators presented the techniques and types of services they provide and what type of timber they require. Some can do very small timber harvest on a selective basis, others require larger stands of timber. Techniques, services, and requirements vary greatly and it seems that there is an operator available who could meet almost any landowner goal and they should be on the list provided. A lot of questions were answered from forest health to liability to unscrupulous operators and all seemed satisfied with the answers. Prices were discussed by the ton and by the board foot. It was noted that timber prices at this time is suppressed because of the global markets and not much movement is expected in near future. Another large operator is trying to establish itself in Seward looking to export logs from -Seward and perhaps setting up a plant if enough timber can be located. That operator would be Ketchikan Pulp. It was noted that old mature trees and beetle killed trees loose commercial value rapidly if left standing. It was noted that there is a viable value added industry going on from rough lumber, house logs, siding, shingles, art, furniture and firewood with all needing wood. Chips and round logs are the biggest market going to Canada, Washington, Oregon and overseas. The Borough Planners presented three tracts of timber that they plan of asking for bids. Discussion took place about the need for more sales of both large and small tracts. Right of ways and who owned.the trees were also discussed. If you need to know if you are on the correct parcel, need legal access or unsure of right of way ownership, please check with the Borough Planning Department. It was also noted that timber owners should check references, insurance, licenses, bonding etc. before contracting with an operator. Landowners and operators are required to adhere to the forest practices act so check with the State Forest Service before you begin. It is always a good idea to have a contract before.work begins. The Extension Service provided information about coops for landowners and operators alike. There are lots of examples to demonstrate that small business can compete together more successfully rather than separately in some circumstances. Coops is an option that may offer advantages in buying power, regulations, parts, markets and specializing. If you have questions or need help about any of the above, please contact the appropriate agency or the RC&D. We are anticipating another workshop for the timber industry some time next year. It may be on timber contracts but if you have other needs, give us a call.

You join 123 Alaskan municipalities who make up the Alaska Municipal League. The question you must answer for your community is "What does the AML do for us?" We ask you to consider the following: • Every state has an active municipal league. Your participation in the AML is a critical way to jointly develop positions on municipal issues and bring those issues before state and federal decision -makers. • The AML represents your municipality on issues of statewide concern. Even if you have a lobbyist for individual municipal issues, the AML is a critical link to coordinate a statewide municipal strategy. For example, the AML has represented municipalities before the state's Long Range Financial Planning Commission, and has been successful in getting them to consider municipal issues critical to your communities' finances. • The AML offers joint services that saves money for your municipality (like the AML Joint Insurance Association), and make money for you (like the AML Investment Pool). • The AML offers the best training on municipal issues in the state, like the training at the annual conference, the new Certified Public Manager Program, the Newly Elected Officials Workshop, and the new AML Leadership Institute. The AML also offers management and efficiency reviews of municipal operations. • AML publications like The Touchstone, the Legislative Bulletin, and Alaska Municipal Officials Directory keep you in touch with current municipal issues before congress and the state. • AML offers you a research service to find successful methods of solving your municipal issues. Member of the National League of Cities and the National Association of Counties Mayor & City Council Members December 7, 1995 Page 2 In conclusion, without a strong Alaska Municipal League, Alaskan municipalities may not have an effective voice in shaping the sweeping changes being made on the state and federal level. The tighter funding gets, the more your municipality needs to join all other Alaskan municipalities in supporting the Alaska Municipal League. I hope to see you all at the annual conference and during the year. Please call me at 586-1325 if you would like further information or just get acquainted.

Because the borough voted to go directly to the end of the five year "phase -in" due's schedule, the AML Board of Directors voted to "phase -in" the cities over a three year period to help alleviate any hardship the borough's actions might cause on the individual cities.

Freas, City Clerk City of Kenai DATE: December 14, 1995 RE: LEIF HANSEN MEMORIAL PARK Possible Amendments to the Policies and Procedures At your meeting of September 20, 1995, you reviewed a letter from Dennis and Susan Townsend in regard to the use of the Leif Hansen Memorial Park. Following discussion, council requested the matter be reviewed by the Beautification Committee, their recommendations be forwarded to the Parks & Recreation Commission, and their recommendations forwarded to council for possible action. Beautification Committee Comments: The Beautification Committee notes from their work session of October 10, 1995 reflect, Recommend that the city continue to allow groups to use Leif Hansen Memorial Park but recommend that larger groups use other park facilities which are better able to accommodate them. In addition, tents and other items should be set up away from the memorial plaques, shrubs, etc. The Parks & Recreation Commission minutes of December 7, 1995 reflect, Given the memorial intent of the park, the Commission recommends to council that events of less than 50 people be allowed to use the park, but that larger groups use the greenstrip area, with administration having the final say. I have attached a copy of the Policies and Procedures with a proposed amendment which may cover the above -mentioned concerns. -1- Additionally, in the years that I have been selling plaques and plantings, there have been some purchasers of memorials who expressed concerns that the plantings are not supported with stakes or wrapped to minimize damage in the winter, i.e. moose munching, wind, snow and ice loads, etc. This was discussed during a council meeting on July 15, 1992. A copy of the minutes and back-up information included in that packet are attached for your information. -2- � ��� ��-n-c e��� �y��eti !_ _ /i,/l A_� � • ... �_.

The park was named for a young man who contributed much to the community, however, the park is open for anyone desiring to commemorate their own loved one. The City Council hereby establishes Policies and Procedures for the implementation of the planting of the park to ensure the longest life of the planting and the uniform distribution which will enhance the individual material planted and the park as a whole. POLICIES 1. The Kenai City Council has approved a design for the Memorial Park and all planting will be done in accordance with the plan and the suggested list of planting materials. 2. Any requests for deviation from the plan or planting materials should be reviewed by Council. 3. Plaques must be uniform due to the dimensions of the spaces in the sidewalk and of the same materials (black granite), however, the wording and logos are up to the individual. Any inappropriately worded plaques of an objectionable nature will be removed. 4. All materials which are planted in the Park are to be done by a licensed landscaper. The City will maintain the materials after the material is planted by the landscaper. The landscaper has agreed to guarantee the material for one year. The City will not guarantee any planting done by individuals nor beyond the one year guarantee. 5. Should any one purchase exceed $6,500, the purchase must go to competitive bid. 6. Groups of up to 50 people may use the Park for festivals, weddingss,picnics, etc., after scheduling with the Parks & Recreation Department.

TO: Mayor and Councilmembers Kayo McGillivray, Parks & Recreation Director Beautification Committee Members Parks & Recreation Commission Members FROM: Carol L. Freas, City Clerk City of Kenai DATE: July 9, 1992 RE: LEIF HANSEN MEMORIAL PARK Over the last few years, there has, from time to time, been damage to tree and shrub plantings in the Leif Hansen Memorial Park. Much of that damage has been due to hungry moose foraging for food. The most recent damage was reported by Nina Selby. I spoke with Steve Booth of Booth's Landscaping today. Upon my request, he examined the Selby tree which was planted last year. Mr. Booth stated that the tree (Weeping Birch), had been severely damaged by moose and will require replacement. Mr. Booth stated that the year's guarantee which they provide with each of their plantings, does not include damage by hungry moose. Mr. Booth suggested that 6-6-10-10 reinforcing concrete wire mesh be purchased to place around the plantings after the first snow and removed in the Spring. Mr. Booth stated the price for one roll is approximately $200. Mr. Booth suggested that one roll could probably wrap all the plantings in Memorial Park. The wire could be stockpiled in the spring and reused each winter. Attached is a copy of the Policy and Procedure Statement for the Park. In two places it mentions the guarantee. The statement does not clarify what the guarantee covers or does not cover. DOES COUNCIL WISH TO MODIFY THE POLICY AND PROCEDURE STATEMENT TO BETTER DEFINE THE GUARANTEE? SHOULD THE BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE, PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION AND PARKS & RECREATION DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATE A MEANS OF PROTECTION FOR THE PLANTINGS IN MEMORIAL PARK DURING THE WINTER AND FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THAT PROTECTION DURING THE WINTER MONTHS? clf 6�5 Memorandum Date: 12/15/95 To: Mayor Williams and City Council Through: Thomas J. Manninen, City Manager A Through: Keith Komelis, Public Works Director From: Jack La Shot, City Engineer RE: NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM Attached is a packet of information regarding the above -referenced program. This same information was discussed at the December 13'h Planning & Zoning meeting (minutes attached). The merits of belonging to the program have been discussed at various meetings since the recent flooding; however, no formal actin has been taken by the city regarding adoption of an ordinance to mitigate flood damage in accordance with FEMA guidelines. My question of council is: Should administration proceed with preparation of a resolution and ordinance using the samples as a guideline and begin the process of adoption? If so, are there speck comments that should be incorporated into our ordinance?

(907) 443-5457 FAX (907) 443-2409 On September 27, I accompanied Carl Cook, Federal Emergency Management Agency Region X, to meet with the Kenai Planning and Zoning Commission to explain the merits of participation in the National FIood Insurance Program (NFIP). I again want to encourage the city to consider the wise management of floodprone lands within your city limits by adoption of a flood damage reduction ordinance. NFIP participation will also trigger the availability of flood insurance for sale for anyone within the Kenai city limits. From discussion with staff and my quick tour of the areas mapped by FEMA FIood Insurance Rate Maps, flood -related erosion impacts to properties in the Angler Drive area appeared to be the only direct flood impacts within the Kenai City limits. Low lying properties off Barbara Drive (Horseshoe End at River Bend Subdivision), and Cone Circle area properties may also have been impacted by flood -related erosion. ZL LLOI-t 21-P4LH Page Two November 28, 1995 Mayor Williams Flood insurance purchase for these property owners, or for anyone within the Kenai city limits is not available unless the city joins the NFIP. Furthermore, federally -secured loans, flood disaster mitigation funds, and some individual and family disaster grants may not be made within flood -prone areas unless the city joins the NFIP and agrees to regulate future floodplain development. Enactment and enforcement of the federal minimum floodplain management ordinance requirements should be relatively easy for the City because of the limited number of properties impacted. The city may want to consider additional, more appropriate standards such as setback distances on erosion prone lots. If the Planning and Zoning Commission, the City Council or city staff should have any further questions regarding the ordinance or requirements for participation in the NFIP, feel free to contact me at (907) 269-4567 or Carl Cook at (206) 487-4687.

Washington 98021-9796 MEMORANDUM FOR: COMMUNITIES PARTICIPATING IN THE NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM (NFIP) SUBJECT: DECEMBER 1986 REVISION OF MODEL FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION ORDINANCE In September 1986 communities participating in the NFIP were notified by FEMA's Washington D.C. Office of the need to revise local ordinances to incorporate new Federal Regulations that went into effect on October 1, 1986. This notice indicated that communities had until April 1, 1987 to incorporate the new provisions in order to retain eligibility in the NFIP. The last major NFIP regulation change occurred in October 1976. Our office followed with a suggested model ordinance in 1977. There have been minor changes to this model ordinance through the years, but never a major change; such a change is now necessary is view of not only the October 1, 1986 revisions, but also to reflect substantial regulation changes that occurred on October 1, 1984 and January 1, 1986. Attached is a revision to our 1977 model ordinance that incorporates all changes, for use in reviewing your existing ordinance and making appropriate changes. USE OF MODEL ORDINANCE. As before, the model is not mandatory, but provides a convenient bridge between language in the Federal Regulations and language suitable for local ordinances. Adoption of the ordinance as is will obviously meet all NFIP requirements; but any community may alter the format or language as it sees fit as long as mandatory Regulation requirements are met. The requirements that are mandatory for FEMA approval are denoted throughout with an asterisk(*). FORMAT. In this document we have taken an original model and marked it up to show actual changes, since most communities adopted all or portions of our original model ordinance. Thus, additions reflecting new regulation -equirements or clarifications are in bold print; language that is superseded is either crossed out with slash marks (////) or denoted by the term "delete"; or both. The exception is Coastal High Hazard Area Attachment 2, which is an entirely new section; changes here were of such a nature that the "cut and paste" method would be difficult to use. We also have straight -typed versions of the model ordinance which can be provided to any community. MANDATORY SECTIONS. Mandatory sections are those that must be in the ordinance in order for FEMA to approve it (although language can vary). They are denoted in the Outline and throughout the ordinance with an asterisk(*). Note that you do not need to incorporate new requirements denoted by bold face print if your measures are more restrictive.. You are encouraged to retain more restrictive standards. An example is the original mobile home anchoring standard [Section 5.1-1(2)]. Also, some of the additions (bold print) merely clarify, and are not mandatory. An example of this is the changed definition of "Area of Shallow Flooding;" however, certain definitions may be required if they are specifically cross-referenced in the ordinance (e.g. the definition of "Development"). 2 ATTACFD".ENTS/FEDERAL REGULATION SECTIONS 60.3(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e). We have set up a single model which can be used to cover all circumstances by either adoption of the model, or the model with attachments. The basic ordinance relates to a community participating under Section 60.3(d), which addresses flood elevations and floodways. Following is a summary of the categories of participation, together with what that category means in terms of maps, zones and pertinent model ordinance attachments. 60.3(a): A community participating under Section 60.3(a) has no maps, and an ordinance change is not necessary. 60.3(b): The community has no flood elevations or floodways, but has flood boundaries and unnumbered A zones on its maps; at least the mandatory (asterisked) provisions of the model ordinance are required, but the Specific Standards at Section 5.2 will normally not apply (unless base flood elevations are available from another source, or are generated). 60.3(c): The community has flood elevations but no floodways, and should incorporate the Encroachment Standard referenced in the NOTE following Section 5.3, Floodways, in the last page of the ordinance. 60.3(d): The community has flood elevations and floodways. Adoption of the model, as is, will meet all requirements. 60.3(e): The community has coastal high hazard areas (V zones) and must incorporate the special construction standards in Attachment 2 in addition to the basic yodel. AO zones: Any (c), (d) and/or (e) community can have AO zones denoting shallow flooding. These zones are depicted by flood depths, not elevations and the communit,, must adopt AO zone standards in Attachment 1 in addition to the basic ordinance. Any community may have a combination of categories. '_'he model is flexible in that it will accommodate all combinations. ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES. The regulations specify that an ordinance must be legally enforceable. `4any of the non —mandatory measures in the model, though not specifically required for FEMA approval, are administrative provisions aimed at making ordinances legally enforceable and are, therefore, recommended (e.g. the variance provisions, penalties for noncompliance, etc.). Since failure to make the required changes by April 1, 1987 could lead to suspension from the program, we urge you to respond as quickly as possible. Draft ordinances should be sent to this office or to State Coordinators for review prior to final adoption if there is any question, or if there is a major discrepancy with the model. If assistance is desired, you should contact either the State Coordinanting Agency for the NFIP, or this office. :appropriate State and FEMA Regional Office contacts are listed below. 3- As soon as the ordinance is adopted it should be sent to this office so that it can be reviewed and a formal compliance letter can be sent.

Therefore, the (governing rode) of (local unit) (Stater does ordain as follows: 1.2 FINDINGS OF FACT (1) The flood hazard areas of (local unit) are subject to periodic inundation which results in loss of life and property, health, and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services, extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety, and general welfare. (2) These flood losses are caused by the cumulative effect of obstructions in areas of special flood hazards which increase flood heights and velocities, and when inadequately anchored, damage uses in other areas. Uses that are inadequately floodproofed, elevated, or otherwise protected from flood damage also contribute to the flood loss. 1.3 STATEMENT OF PURPOSE It is the purpose of this ordinance to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare, and to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific areas by provisions designed.- (1) To protect human life and health; (2) To minimize expenditure of public money and costly flood control projects: (3) To minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding and generally undertaken at the expense of the general public; (4) To minimize prolonged business interruptions; (5) To minimize damage to public facilities and utilities such as water and gas mains, electric, telephone and sewer lines, streets, and bridges located in areas of special flood hazard: (6) To help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and development of areas of special flood hazard so as to minimize future flood blight areas; (7) To ensure that potential buyers are notified that property is in an area of special flood hazard; and, (8) To ensure that those who occupy the areas of special flood hazard assume responsibility for their actions. 1.4 METHODS OF REDUCING FLOOD LOSSES In order to accomplish its purposes, this ordinance includes methods and provisions for: (1) Restricting or prohibiting uses which are dangerous to health, safety, and property due to water or erosion hazards, or which result in damaging increases in erosion or in flood heights or velocities; (2) Requiring that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities which serve such uses, be protected against flood damage at the time of initial construction; (3) Controlling the alteration of natural flood plains, stream channels, and natural protective barriers, which help accommodate or channel flood waters, (4) Controlling filling, grading, dredging, and other development which may increase flood damage; and (5) Preventing or regulating the construction of flood barriers which will unnaturally divert flood waters or may increase flood hazards in other areas. * Required for approval by FEMA. SECTION 2.0 DEFINITIONS Unless specificaily defined below, words.or phrases used in this ordinance shall be interpreted so as to give them the meaning they have in common usage and to give this ordinance its most reasonable application. "APPEAL" means a request for a review of the (local administrator's) interpretation of any provision of this ordinance or a request for a variance. "AREA OF SHALLOW FLOODING" means a designated AO or AH Zone on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). The base flood depths range from one to three feet; a clearly defined channel does not exist: the path of flooding is unpredictable and indeterminate; and, velocity flow may be evident. AO is characterized as sheet flow and AH indicates ponding. "AREA OF SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD" means the land in the flood plain within a community subject to a one percent or greater chance of flooding in any given year. Designation on maps always includes the letters A or V. "BASE FLOOD" means the flood having a one percent chance of being equalled or exceeded in any given vear. Also referred to as the "100-year flood." Designation on maps always includes the letters A or V. "DEVELOPMENT" means any man-made change to improved or unimproved real estate, including but not limited to buildings or other structures, mining, dredging, filling, grading, paving, excavation or drilling operations located within the area of special flood hazard. -'E'�VFI'<I6/�[OBILE' 1il7DG4'g/PAIR/OR/P�OBIILF!

"FLOOD INSURANCE RATE MAP (FIRM)" means the official map on which the Federal Insurance Administration has delineated both the areas of special flood hazards and the risk premium zones applicable to the community. "FLOOD INSURANCE STUDY" means the official report provided by the Federal Insurance Administration that includes flood profiles, the Flood Boundary-Floodway Map, and the water surface elevation of the base Hood. "FLOODW.AY" means the channel of a river or other watercourse and the adjacent land areas that must be reserved in order to discharge the base flood without cumulatively increasing the water surface elevation more than one foot. "LOWEST FLOOR" means the lowest floor of the lowest enclosed area (including basement). An unfinished or flood resistant enclosure, usable solely for parking of vehicles, building access or storage, in an area other than a basement area, is not considered a building's lowest floor, provided that such enclosure is not built so as to render the structure in violation of the applicable non -elevation design requirements of this ordinance found at Section 5.2-1(2). (MANUFACTURED HOME" means a structure, transportable in one or more sections. which is built on a permanent chassis and Is designed for use with or without a permanent foundation when connected to the required utilities. For flood plain management purposes the term "manufactured home" also includes park trailers, travel trailers, and other similar vehicles placed on a site for greater than 180 consecutive days. For insurance purposes the term "manufactured home" does not include park trailers, travel trailers. and other similar vehicles. "MANUFACTURED HOME PARK OR SUBDIVISION" means a parcel (or contiguous parcels) of land divided into two or more manufactured home lots for rent or sale.

(1) before the improvement or repair is started, or (2) if the structure has been damaged and is being restored, before the damage occurred. For the purposes of this definition "substantial improvement" is considered to occur when the first alteration of any wall, ceiling, floor, or other structural part of the building commences, whether or not that alteration affects the external dimensions of the structure. The term does not, however, include either. (1) any project for improvement of a structure to comply with existing state or local health, sanitary, or safety code specifications which are solely necessary to assure safe living conditions, or (2) any alteration of a structure Iisted on the National Register of Historic Places or a State Inventory of Historic Places. "VARIANCE" means a grant of relief from the requirements of this ordinance which permits construction in a manner that would otherwise be prohibited by this ordinance. SECTION 3.0 GENERAL PROVISIONS 3.1 LANDS TO WHICH THIS ORDINANCE APPLIES This ordinance shall apply to all areas of special flood hazards within the jurisdiction of (local unit) 3.2 * BASIS FOR ESTABLISHING THE AREAS OF SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD The areas of special flood hazard identified by the Federal Insurance Administration in a scientific and engineering report entitled "The Flood Insurance Study for the (local unit) dated ' 19_ , -with accompanying Flood Insurance Maps is hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this ordinance. The Flood Insurance Study is on file at (address) 3.3 PENALTIES FOR NONCOMPLIANCE No structure or land shall hereafter be constructed, located, extended, converted, or altered without full compliance with the terms of this ordinance and other applicable regulations. Violation of the provisions of this ordinance by failure to comply with any of its requirements (including violations of conditions and safeguards established in connection with conditions) shall constitute a misdemeanor. .any person who violates this ordinance or fails to comply with any of its requirements shall upon conviction thereof be fined not more than or imprisoned for not more than days, or both, for each violation, and in addition shall pay all costs and expenses involved in the case.

Larger floods can and will occur on rare occasions. Flood heights may be increased by man-made or natural causes. This ordinance does not imply that land outside the areas of special flood hazards or uses permitted within such areas will be free from flooding or flood damages. This ordinance shall not create liability on the part of (local unit) ,any .officer or employee thereof, or the Federal Insurance Administration, for any flood damages that result from reliance on this ordinance or any administrative decision lawfully made hereunder. SECTION 4.0 ADMINISTRATION 4.1 ESTABLISHMENT OF DEVELOPMENT PERMIT .II A development permit shall be obtained before construction or development begins within any area of special flood hazard established in Section 3.2. The permit shall be for all structures including mgVA6 manufactured homes, as set forth in the "DEFINITIONS", and for ail development including fill and other activities, also as set forth in the "DEFINITIONS". 4.1 Application for Develooment Permit Application for a development permit shall be made on forms furnished by the (local administrator) and may include but not be limited to; plans in duplicate drawn to scale showing the nature, location, dimensions, and elevations of the area in question; existing or proposed structures, fill, storage of materials, drainage facilities, and the location of the foregoing.

(2) * Review all development permits to determine that all necessary permits have been obtained from those Federal, State, or local governmental agencies from which prior approval is required. (3) Review all development permits to determine if the proposed development is located in the floodway. If located in the floodway, assure that the encroachment provisions of Section 5.30) are met. 4.3-2 * Use of Other Base Flood Data When base flood elevation data has not been provided in accordance with Section 3.2, BASIS FOR ESTABLISHING THE AREAS OF SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD, the (local administrator) obtain, review, and reasonably utilize any base flood elevation and floodway data available from a federal, State or other source, in order to administer Sections 5.2, SPECIFIC STANDARDS, and 5.3 FLOODWAYS. 4.3-3 * Information to be Obtained and Maintained (1) Where base flood elevation data is provided through the Flood Insurance Study or required as in Section 4.3-2. obtain and record the actual elevation (in relation to mean sea level) of the lowest floor (including basement) of all new or substantially improved structures, and whether or not the structure contains a basement. (2) For all new or substantially improved floodproofed structures: (i) verify and record the actual elevation (in relation to mean sea level), and (ii) maintain the floodproofing certifications required in Section 4.1(3). (3) Maintain for public inspection all records pertaining to the provisions of this ordinance. 4.3-4 * Alteration of Watercourses (1) Notify adjacent communities and the (State coordinating aaencv) prior to any alteration or relocation of a watercourse, and submit evidence of such notification to the Federal Insurance Administration. (2) Require that maintenance is provided within the altered or relocated portion of said watercourse so that the flood carrying capacity is not diminished. 4.3-5 Interoretation of FIRM Boundaries Make interpretations where needed, as to exact location of the boundaries of the areas of special flood hazards (for example, where there appears to be a conflict between a mapped boundary and actual field conditions). The person contesting the location of the boundary shall be given a reasonable opportunity to appeal the interpretation as provided in Section 4.4. 4.4 VARIANCE PROCEDURE (1) The (anneal board) as established by (local unit) shall hear and decide appeals and requests for variances from the requirements of this ordinance. (2) The (appeal board) shall hear and decide appeals when it is alleged there is an error in any requirement, decision, or determination made by the (local administrator) in the enforcement or administration of this ordinance. (3) Those aggrieved by the decision of the (apnea! board) , or any taxpayer, may appeal such decision to the (name of appropriate court) , as provided in (statute) (4) In passing upon such applications, the (appeal board) shall consider all technical evaluations, all relevant factors, standards specified in other sections of this ordinance, and W the danger that materials may be swept onto other lands to the injury of others; 00 the danger to life and property due to flooding or erosion damage; (iii) the susceptibility of the proposed facility and its contents to flood damage and the effect of such damage on the individual owner; (iv) the importance of the services provide by the proposed facility to the community; (v) the necessity to the facility of a waterfront location, where applicable; (vi) the availability of alternative locations for the proposed use which are not subject to flooding or erosion damage; (vii) the compatibility of the proposed use with existing and anticipated development; (viii) the relationship of the proposed use to the comprehensive plan and flood plain management program for that area; (ix) the safety of access to the property in times of flood for ordinary and emergenc% vehicles; (x) the expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise, and sediment transport of the flood waters and the effects of wave action, if applicable, expected at the site; and, (xi) the costs of providing governmental services during and after flood conditions, including maintenance and repair of public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical, and water systems, and streets and bridges. (5) Upon consideration of the factors of Section 4.4-1(4) and the purposes of this ordinance, the (anneal board) may attach such conditions to the granting of variances as it deems necessary to further the purposes of this ordinance. (6) The (local administrator) shall maintain the records of all appeal actions and report any variances to the Federal Insurance Administration upon request. s 4.4-2 Conditions for Variances (1) Generally, the only condition under which a variance from the elevation standard may be issued is for new construction and substantial improvements to be erected on a lot of one-half acre or less in size contiguous to and surrounded by lots with existing structures constructed below the base flood level, providing items (i-xi) in Section 4.4-1(4) have been fully considered. As the lot size increases the technical justification required for issuing the variance increases. (2) Variances may be issued for the reconstruction, rehabilitation, or restoration of structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places or the State Inventory of Historic Places, without regard to the procedures set forth in this section. (3) Variances shall not be issued within a designated floodway if any increase in flood levels during the base flood discharge would result. (4) Variances shall only be issued upon a determination that the variance is the minimum necessary, considering the flood hazard, to afford relief. (5) Variances shall only be issued upon: (i) a showing of good and sufficient cause; (ii) a determination that failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional hardship to the applicant; (iii) a determination that the granting of a variance will not result in increased flood heights, additional threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense, create nuisances, cause fraud on or victimization of the public as identified in Section 4.1-4(4), or conflict with existing local laws or ordinances. (6) Variances as interpreted in the National Flood Insurance Program are based on the general zoning law principle that they pertain to a physical piece of property; they are not personal In nature and do not pertain to the structure, its inhabitants, economic or financial circumstances. They primarily address small lots in densly populated residential neighborhoods. As such, variances from the flood elevations should be quite rare. (7) Variances may be issued for nonresidential buildings in very limited circumstances to allow a lesser degree of floodproofing than watertight or dry-floodproofing, where it can be determined that such action will have low damage potential, complies with all other variance criteria except 4.4-2(1), and otherwise complies with Sections 5.1-1 and 5.1-2 of the GENERAL STANDARDS (8) Any applicant to whom a variance is granted shall be given written notice that the structure will be permitted to be built with a lowest floor elevation below the base flood elevation and that the cost of flood insurance will be commensurate with the increased risk resulting from the reduced lowest floor elevation. SECTION 5.0 PROVISIONS FOR FLOOD HAZARD REDUCTION * 5.1 GENERAL STANDARDS In all areas of special flood hazards, the following standards are required: * 5.1-1 Anchoring (1) All new construction and substantial improvements shall be anchored to prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral movement of the structure.

Anchoring methods may include, but are not limited to, use of over -the -top or frame ties to ground anchors (Reference FEMXs "Manufactured Home Installation in Flood Hazard Areas" guidebook for additional techniques). * 5.1-2 Construction Materials and Methods (1) All new construction and substantial improvements shall be constructed with materials and utility equipment resistant to flood damage. (2) All new construction and substantial improvements shall be constructed using methods and practices that minimize flood damage. (3) Electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing, and air-conditioning equipment and other service facilities shall be designed and/or otherwise elevated or located so as to prevent water from entering or accumulating' within the components during conditions of flooding. * 5.1-3 Utilities (1) All new and replacement water supply systems shall be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the system; (2) New and replacement sanitary sewage systems shall be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the systems and discharge from the systems into flood waters; and, (3) On -site waste disposal systems shall be located to avoid impairment to them or contamination from them during flooding. * 5.1-4 Subdivision Proposals (1) All subdivision proposals shall be consistent with the need to minimize flood damage; (2) All subdivision proposals shall have public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical, and water systems located and constructed to minimize flood damage; (3) All subdivision proposals shall have adequate drainage provided to reduce exposure to flood damage; and, (4) Where base flood elevation data has not been provided or is not available from another authoritative source, it shall be generated for subdivision proposals and other proposed developments which contain at least 50 lots or 5 acres (whichever is less). * 5.1-5 Review of Building Permits Where elevation data is not available either through the Flood Insurance Study or from another authoritative source (Section 4.3-2), Applications for building permits shall be reviewed to assure that proposed construction will be reasonably safe from flooding. The test of reasonableness is a local judgment and includes use of historical data., high water marks, photographs of past flooding, etc., where available. Failure to elevate at least two feet above 8 grade in these zones may result in higher insurance rates. * 5.2 SPECIFIC STANDARDS In all .areas of special flood hazards where base flood elevation data has been provided as set forth in Section 3.2, BASIS FOR ESTABLISHING THE AREAS OF SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD or Section 4.3-2, Use of Other Base Flood Data, the following provisions are required- * 5.2-1 Residential Construction (1) New construction and substantial improvement of any residential structures all have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated to or above base flood elevationY (2) Fully enclosed areas below the lowest floor that are subject to flooding are prohibited, or shall be designed to automatically equalize hydrostatic flood forces on exterior walls by allowing for the entry and exit of floodwaters. Designs for meeting this requirement must either be certified by a registered professional engineer or architect or must meet or exceed the following minimum criteria: (1) A minimum of two openings having a total net area of not less than one square Inch for every square foot of enclosed area subject to flooding shall be provided. (ii) The bottom of all openings shall be no higher than one foot above grade. (III) Openings may be equipped with screens, louvers, or other coverings or devices provided that they permit the automatic entry and exit of floodwaters. * 5.2 :Nonresidential Construction New construction and substantial improvement of any commercial, industrial or other nonresidential structure shall either have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated to the level of the base flood elevation; or, together with attendant utility and sanitary facilities, shall: (1) be floodproofed so that below the base flood level the structure is watertight with walls substantially impermeable to the passage of water, (2) have structural components capable of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads and effects of buoyancy; (3) be certified by a registered professional engineer or architect that the design and methods of construction are in accordance with accepted standards of practice for meeting provisions of this subsection 04AktW44 based on their development and/or review of the structural design, specifications and plans. Such certifications shall be provided to the official as set forth in Section 4.3-3(2) (4) Nonresidential structures that are elevated, not floodproofed. must meet the same standards for space below the lowest floor as described in 5.2-1(2). (5) Applicants floodproofing nonresidential buildings shall be notified that flood insurance premiums will be based on rates that are one foot below the floodproofed level (e.g. a building constructed to the base flood level will be rated as one foot below that level).

Since the floodway is an extremely hazardous area due to the velocity of flood waters which carry debris, potential projectiles, and erosion potential, the following provisions apply: (1) Prohibit encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial improvments, and other development unless certification by a registered professional engineer or architect is provided demonstrating that encroachments shall not result in any increase in flood levels during the occurrence of the base flood discharge. (2) If Section 5.3(1) is satisfied, all new construction and substantial improvements shall comply with all applicable flood hazard reduction provisions of Section 5.0, PROVISIONS FOR FLOOD HAZARD REDUCTION. NOTE: Where base flood elevations have been provided but floodways have not, Section 5.3 should read as follows: 5.3 ENCROACHMENTS The cumulative effect of any proposed development, when combined with all other existing and anticipated development, shall not increase the water surface elevation of the base flood more than one foot at any point. * Required for approval by FEMA. 11 ATTACHMENT 1 Attachment for Shallow Flooding (AO Zones) REGION X MODEL FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION ORDINANCE December 1986 If the FIRM has AO zones depicting shallow flooding, the following section must be added in order to address the depth designations in these zones, vs. the base flood elevations that are provided in other areas of detailed study. In the model ordinance, this section will appear as either 5.3, 5.4 or 5.5 depending on whether or not the flood data in a particular community includes floodways and/or coastal high hazard areas. 5.4 STANDARDS FOR SHALLOW FLOODING AREAS (AO ZONES) Shallow flooding areas appear on FIRM's as AO zones with depth designations. The base flood depths in these zones range from 1 to 3 feet where a clearly defined channel does not exist, or where the path of flooding is unpredictable and where velocity flow may be evident. Such flooding is usually characteried as sheet flow. In these areas, the following provisions apply: (1) New constrution and substantial improvements of residential structures within AO zones shall have the lowest floor (including basement) elevated above the highest adjacent grade of the building site, to or above the depth number specified on the FIRM (at least two feet if no depth number is specified). (2) New Construction and substantial improvements of nonresidential structures within AO zones shall either: (i) have the lowest floor (including basement) elevated above the highest adjacent grade of the building site, to or above the depth number specified on the FIRM (at least two feet if no depth number is specified); or (ii) together with attendant utility and sanitary facilities, be completely flood proofed to or above that level so that any space below that level is watertight with walls substantially impermeable to the passage of water and with structural components having the capability of resisting hydrostatic and and hydrodynamic loads and effects of bouyancy. If this method is used, compliance shall be certified by a registered professional engineer or architect as in section 5.2-2(3). (3) Require adequate drainage paths around structures on slopes to guide floodwaters around and away from proposed structures. Attachment for Coastal High Hazard Areas (V Zones) REGION X MODEL FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION ORDINANCE December 1986 If the FIRM has V zones (V1-V3O, VE, V) depicting coastal high hazard areas and invoking Section 60.3(e) of the Federal Regulations, two definitions and the following section must be added. In the model ordinance this section will appear as either 5.3, 5.4, or 5.5 depending on whether or not flood data in a particular community includes floodways and/or AO (shallow flooding) zones. 1. SECTION 2.0 DEFINITIONS. Delete the old definition of breakaway wall and add the following: "BREAKAWAY WALL" means a wall that is not a part of the structural support of the building and is intended through its design and construction to collapse under specific lateral loading forces, without causing damage to the elevated portion of the building or supporting foundation system. "COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREA" means the area subject to high velocity waters, including but not limited to, storm surge or tsumanis. The area is designated on the FIRM as Zone V 1V30, VE or V. 2. Add the following section for Coastal High Hazard Areas. Note that this is an entirely new section from the original model ordinance attachment. This is because the changes are such that it is almost impossible to mesh the old and the new requirements. For informational purposes, the old coastal flooding attachment is reproduced at the bottom of the second page of this attachment. 5.4 COASTAL HIGH HAZARD AREAS Located within areas of special flood hazard established in Section 3.2 are Coastal High hazard Areas, designatd as Zones VI V3O, VE and/or V. These areas have special flood hazards associated with high velocity waters from tidal surges and, therefore, in addition to meeting all provisions in this ordinance, the following provisions shall also apply: (1) All new construction and substantial improvements in Zones V1- V30 and VE (V if base flood elevation data is available) shall be elevated on pilings and columns so that: (i) the bottom of the lowest horizontal structural member of the lowest floor (excluding the pilings or columns) is elevated to or above the base flood level; and (ii) the pile or column foundation and structure attached thereto is anchored to resist flotation, collapse and lateral movement due to the effects of wind and water loads acting simultaneously on all building components. Wind and Water loading values shall each have a one percent chance of being equalled or exceeded in any given year (100-year mean recurrence interval); A registered professional engineer or architect shall develop or review the structural design, specifications and plans for the construction and shall certify that the design and methods of construction to be used are in accordance with accepted standards of practice for meeting the provisions of (i) and (ii) of this Section. 2 (2) Obtain the elevation (in relation to mean sea level) of the bottom of the lowest structural member of the lowest floor (excluding pilings and columns) of all new and substantially improved structures in Zones VI-30 and and VE, and whether or not such structures contain a basement. The local administrator shall mainain a record of all such information. (3) All new construction shall be located landward of the reach of mean high tide. (4) Provide that all new construction and substantial improvements have.the space below the lowest floor either free of obstruction or constructed with nonsupporting breakaway walls, open wood lattice -work, or insect screening intended to collapse under wind and water loads without causing collapse, displacement, or other structural damage to the elevated portion of the building or supporting foundation system. For the purpose of this section, a breakaway wall shall have a design safe loading resistance of not less than 10 and no more than 20 pounds per square foot. Use of breakaway walls which exceed a design safe loading resistance of 20 pounds per square foot (either by design or when so required by local or State codes) may be permitted only if a registered professional engineer or architect certifies that the designs proposed meet the following conditions: (i) breakaway wall collapse shall result from a water load less than that which would occur during the base flood; and (ii) the elevated portion of the building and supporting foundation system shall not be subject to collapse, displacement, or other structural damage due to the effects of wind and water loads acting simultaneously on all building components (structural and nonstructural). Maximum wind and water loading values to be used in this determination shall each have a one percent chance of being equalled or exceeded in any given year (100-year mean recurrence interval). (5) If breakaway walls are utilized, such enclosed space shall be useable solely for parking of vehicles, building access, or storage. Such space shall not be used for human habitation. (6) Prohibit the use of fill for structural support of buildings. (7) Prohibit man-made alteration of sand dunes which would increase potential flood damage.

Federal Emergency Management Agency Washington, D.C. 20472 CERTIFIED MAIL RETURNED RECEIPT REQUIRED The Honorable John J. Williams Mayor, City of Kenai 210 Fidalgo Kenai, Alaska 99611 Dear Mayor Williams: JAN 10 199Z REC'eIVE Dow. 01 'All 14 1992 Div. of Munkip.i 'Q .Affairs Amt. This letter is to clarify the status of the City of Kenai in regards to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). I understand that there has been some confusion over whether the City is eligible for participation in the NFIP and whether citizens of the City can purchase flood insurance. Please be advised that the City of Kenai has not participated in the NFIP since March 18, 1980 and NFIP flood insurance policies should not have been sold within the City since that date. Let me explain. Prior to March 18, 1980, the City of Kenai participated in the NFIP as part of the Borough of Kenai Peninsula. However, on that date the Borough of Kenai Peninsula was suspended from the NFIP for failure to adopt floodplain management regulations that met minimum NFIP requirements. In 1986 the Borough of Kenai Peninsula adopted compliant floodplain management regulations and applied for reinstatement into the NFIP. On November 20, 1986 the Borough was reinstated into the NFIP and remains eligible. At the time of the Borough's reinstatement, it was determined that each of the cities located in the Borough had independent land use authority and each would have to adopt their own floodplain management regulations. The Cities of Seward, Kachemak, and Seldovia adopted compliant regulations and were reinstated as part of the Borough's eligibility. The Cities of Kenai, Soldotna, and Homer chose not to adopt compliant regulations and were not included as part of the reinstatement. A Final Rule was published in the Federal Register on Monday, December 29, 1986, which lists the communities which are included in the Borough's eligibility. A copy of that notice is enclosed. In summary, NFIP flood insurance isQD available within the Cities of Kenai, Soldotna, and Homer. I encourage you to adopt compliant regulations so that flood insurance can again be made available within the City of Kenai. In order for the City of Kenai to participate in the NFIP under the Borough of Kenai Peninsula's application, compliant floodplain management measures must be 2. adopted and forwarded to the State Coordinator's Office in Alaska for review. If the measures are compliant, they will be forwarded to the FEMA Regional Office in Bothell, Washington for processing. If the City of Kenai desires to participate in the NFIP under its own application, you must submit an application, a compliant adopted floodplain managL6fO!.3(d) ordinance that meets the minimum requirements of Section of the NFIP regulations and a resolution indicating your co ordinance desire to participate in the NFIP. This scenario assumes that Alaska's State law enables the City to have zoning authority in a second class Borough; an assumption will need to be confirmed with the State. It must be emphasized that NFIP participation by communities is voluntary. If a community chooses not to adopt and enforce compliant floodplain management regulations, flood insurance protection is not available for individuals in that community. In addition, Federal financial assistance for a c�au ion or construction purposes is not available within the designated _ floodplains community. This includes mortaa_are oans-backed by a Department of Veterans Affairs, Federal Housing Administration, or Farmers Home Administration. However, lenders Lat their own discretion can continue to make conventional mortgage loans. It should be noted that FEMA encourages community participation. Your community's adopted measures should be forwarded for review to -1" the NFIP State Coordinator for the State of Alaska, MS. Christy L. Miller, at the Department of Community and Regional Affairs, 949 East 36th Avenue, Suite 400, Anchorage, Alaska 99508-4302, or as stated earlier, you may submit the enrollment requirements to the Regional Office for review at FEMA, Region X, Federal Regional Center, 130 228th Street, Southeast, Bothell, Washington 98021- 9796. If you need assistance in adopting the required measures, please do not hesitate to contact our Regional Office staff at (206) 487- 4687. Sincerely, C. M. "Bud" Schauerte Administrator Federal Insurance Administration Enclosure Councilman Smalley stated he would be glad to bring a report back to the next meeting as far as the current, up-to-date, active users to the library. Smalley noted it is a very high number and there are more outside of the city than are residents of the city using the library. Walker stated he would tend to believe the 12,000 as active card holders; however, how often they use the library is another story. Walker again asked if the Commission wanted to leave the goal information intact. Smalley recommended that their goals not be adjusted without discussing it with them. Glick stated that whether we agree or disagree with the goal, it is a goal of the library board and a lot of the other departments had goals that he didn't agree with but they were not changed. Walker asked if the information came from another commission or was it copied out of the current book. Mahurin stated she worked with the librarian on December 8th to update the information. Walker asked if there were any changes or adjustments. None noted. National Flood Insurance Program —Tack La Shot stated there was information in the packet concerning the National Flood Insurance Program. La Shot reminded the Commission about the FEMA people who had presented to the Commission earlier in the fall. There is a sample ordinance and resolution with some of the requirements highlighted. La Shot stated he wanted the Commission to review the information and give recommendations, comments, etc. so that the information could be passed onto council to get the process started if they should choose to do so. If council decides to get involved, La Shot stated he believed that the administration would begin the process. Walker asked for discussion. Walker stated he thought the question in most minds is if there is a fiscal note attached to the program. La Shot stated there is nothing monetary. It will be a matter of putting it into our building inspection program and enforcing it. La Shot stated the Borough is finding out that something needs to be done. They have been in the program a couple years and since the flooding they have found out what needs to be done to enforce it, and there is some liability. Kenai probably has a leg up on the Borough because of the building official that would review building permits. Due to the limited developable area in the city, the city's exposure will probably be minor. La Shot stated there is a large area within the flood plane and hazard areas as they define them. Most of those lands are publicly owned and we can pin point the areas that do have a problem such as Angler Drive and possibly Barabara. Some land away from the river along corridors of drainages may be involved. These are mostly no name creeks and Beaver Creek. La Shot stated that if this goes far enough he will recommend that the city incorporate not only the flood insurance maps but try to work in a flood hazard study that was done by Soil Conservation Service a few years back. This shows inland drainages. Glick stated it was his understanding the city would be making a new flood plane zone and then it would follow the building code as outlined. La Shot stated the city would create a new ordinance like the example. The areas would be defined either by elevation or simply using the FEMA map. Glick stated the expense would be creating the ordinance and the building inspection program. La Shot stated it would also involve monitoring and there could be some liabilities there. La Shot stated most of the work would come before actual building, as to whether it was in a flood zone. Councilman Smalley advised that at the last council meeting there was a presentation from residents of Anglers Acres, and had the city had a program in effect, those homeowners could have had insurance programs that would have allowed them to recoup some of their losses. One of the things they asked was when is the city going to involve themselves in the Flood Insurance Program so that they can be afforded protection. The Mayor had advised them it would be a discussion item at this meeting. Smalley stated he was surprised that there were not people in attendance in reference to this item. La Shot stated it is hard to quantify the city's liabilities for not being involved. Bryson referenced Kristy Miller's letter, next to the last paragraph, "the city may want to consider more appropriate standards such as set back standards on erosion prone lots." Bryson stated the erosion prone lots that are being discussed are river erosion and not bluff situations. Bryson stated he felt that would cause critical input to this. La Shot stated he felt the other bluff property could be included because of the proximity to the coastal area. Bryson stated he felt people in the city may be more sensitive toward this, because it can effect a lot of small lots with set backs on bluff properties. La Shot noted that people are starting to make buildings a little more movable. Bryson stated he would interpret this for now as being hydraulic erosion. Walker stated he felt it should be noted that under Section 1.4 they list a number of restrictions and that under these restrictions there would be virtually no development in places like Anglers Acres. Walker stated that one believes that if we are going to have these kinds of restrictions rather than worry about flood insurance, by restricting use of the flood plane, we can strictly obviate the use of that and restrict use in the flood plane if that is the intent. Walker stated he personally feels this is a backward way of placing greater control in the flood plane. Walker stated there are some people in the flood plane for this and some against it. Walker stated he felt that was why the last borough ordinance failed. La Shot stated it does limit development in the flood plane; in fact, it pretty much prevents it unless it is protected or the construction is lifted above it. Walker stated he would like to see a flood plane map before the Commission to view the properties being discussed. Bryson stated he concurs that the Commission should review a map before making any decisions. Walker asked La Shot if it was his intent that the Commission take a careful review of this item. La Shot stated he would like to pass this on to council with the comments as they are, and should they want to take the matter further, a sample ordinance will be prepared, public hearing, map, etc. Then, further comments can be given. La Shot stated he wanted a few more comments for council before it was sent to them. CODE ENFORCEMENT ITEMS: Kodysz Home Business Letter —Walker asked if any further comment on this item. Kebschull advised that the certified receipt had not been returned on the letter. REPORTS: City Council —Smalley reported on two meetings, November 22nd and December 6th. At the November 22nd meeting items discussed included: Bids on two patrol cars, MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Williams and City Council THROUGH: Tom Manninen, City Manager;�� FROM: Keith Komelis, Public Works Director&, DATE: December 14, 1995 SUBJECT: State Transportation Needs and Priorities in Alaska FOR: Council meeting of December 20, 1995 - Discussion I met with Pat Beckly, John Horn, and Jeff Otteson of DOT/PF last week. We discussed the state's needs list and the resulting Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STI P). The state has divided this program into the following categories: I. Federal Aid Surface Transportation Needs and Priorities a. National Highway System (NHS) b. Community Transportation Program (CTP) C. Trails and Recreational Access for Alaska (TRAAK) d. Anchorage Metropolitan Area Transportation Study (AMATS) II. Federal Aid Airport Transportation Needs and Priorities III. Ports and Harbors Projects IV. Other State Funded Transportation Needs and Priorities I have attached for your information and use the following: 1. Draft Transportation Needs and Priorities in Alaska - Briefing Package (blue) 2. Financial Analysis Illustrative Program for Kenai Area (yellow) 3.

The FAA's response was that this was going to be considered an obsolete facility in a few years. Accordingly, the City of Kenai is interested in pursuing the removal of the FAA antennas from the bluff and City -acquisition of the land for Kenai City airport lands use, similar to the other airport lands that the City of Kenai manages and leases for the benefit of the City's airport fund and airport operations. Please advise at your earliest convenience as to the availability of the said "FAA antenna farm" land in the City of Kenai for Citv acquisition and the time frame. Kindest regards. Thomas J.

Kuwada Department of Fish and Game 333 Raspberry Road Anchorage, AK 99518-1599 Subject: Kenai Habitat Restoration and Recreation Enhancement Project Thank you very much for considering the attached grant requests. (1) Kenai Beach Dunes. (2) Cunningham Park Upgrade and Expansion. I appreciated your time earlier today when I explained these projects to you over the phone. Thank you for presenting the projects to your evaluation group. The Council of the City of Kenai, on December 6, 1995, unanimously and enthusiastically endorsed these projects. The administration and council have spent a lot of time in the past, including public hearings, discussing and planning these projects. Acceptance of this grant would be the answer to our funding problem for these projects. We are very much aware of the vital need of these projects but up until now had no solution to how we could pay for them. I apologize for the hurried completion of the applications. If any further information is needed or if you would like a presentation of the projects by the city, please do not hesitate to call me. We believe these projects are extremely important to not only the city, but the State of Alaska, the Kenai River, and the environment.

Commission Planning and Zoning Commission C:\WPDOCS\MISC\GRANTS.FRM PROJECT NOMINATION FORM Site #, Kenai Habitat Restoration & Recreation Enhancement Brief Project Summary: Recently the State of Alaska has opened a subsistence and personal use dip net fishery at the mouth of the Kenai River. Thousands of "dip netters" come from all over the state to take advantage of this very productive method of obtaining salmon. The Kenai Beach Road and Spruce Street are packed with vehicles. Thousands of people are now trampling the environmentally sensitive dunes and its vegetation. This project is to: (1) provide boardwalks for access from the road through the dunes and to the beach for fishing; (2) provide educational signs and interpretive displays at various locations; (3) provide an elevated stair, walkway, and deck for access from the River View Parking Area at the end of Forest Drive to the Kenai Beach. Common Name: Kenai Beach Dunes River Mile: 0 - Kenai River Mouth Township Range Section: T5N R 11 W Section 6 Managing Agency: City of Kenai Site Characteristics: Presently trampled dunes with trails and no signing. No stairway from the Kenai River View Area at the end of Forest Drive resulting in eroded trail which is steep and unsafe. Nature Extent of Damage: Fishermen are destroying valuable dunes and vegetation. This makes it much easier for wind and water erosion thus causing environmental plant and animal damage. Need for Enhancement: Without this project the dunes and access trails will continue to cause damage. Eventually the road and adjacent wetlands will be in danger of destruction. Restoration Endpoints: Provide information about dunes and vegetation, its importance, and how to protect it along with history and requirements for area use. Provide authorized trails and access points helping to prevent erosion. Method: Possibly aluminum driven posts with custom fabricated aluminum grating for walkways, boardwalks, stairs, and landings. Waterproof signs. Provide structural sound facilities that are safe and convenient for users plus vandal proof. Project Size: Estimate - 4 boardwalks, stairways, decks, and 8 signs. Duration: Project would allow continued use of the area. Protection Measures: Guardrails, barriers, and signage would direct users to boardwalks, stairways, decks, and walkways. PROJECT NOMINATION FORM Kenai Habitat Restoration & Recreation Enhancement Estimated Cost: $185,000 Monitoring Method: Dunes and its vegetation would be monitored to see how fast it can recover. The eroded areas that would be repaired around and under the boardwalks, stairs and decks would be monitored. The heavy public use would be monitored to see the best methods of restoration. Post Project Management: The popularity of this area is dramatically increasing. This grant to the City of Kenai would greatly help in managing the area. Additional Notes: None PROJECT NOMINATION FORM Site # Kenai Habitat Restoration & Recreation Enhancement Brief Project Summary: The area is very heavily used by bank fisherman. The City of Kenai proposes to construct a boardwalk from a parking lot to the rivers edge and back. Access stairs from the new boardwalk would be added so that anglers can reach the fishing area without walking on the bank. The City of Kenai also proposes to make necessary improvements to the existing boatramp. Common Name: Cunningham Park Upgrade and Expansion River Mile: 8, approximately Township Range Section: T5N R11W Section 26 Managing Agency: City of Kenai Site Characteristics: Parcels are currently developed and undeveloped, located on the outside edge of a turn in the river. Nature Extent of Damage: Bank erosion and damage to natural vegetation due to heavy foot traffic. Need for Enhancement: Cunningham Park is used heavily by tourists and locals for bank fishing. These improvements would help alleviate the erosion and damage to habitat while also increasing the public's awareness to the importance of protecting our environment. Restoration Endpoints: Provide access to fishing areas without damage to the bank. Improve existing boatramp for anglers. Method: Construction of a boardwalk from the parking lot to river bank. Attach stairs to boardwalk for access to fishing area. Improve existing boatramp. Project Size: Approximately 900' of boardwalk and 3 access stairs. Duration: This grant would allow continued use. Protection Measures: Fencing and interpretive signage PROJECT NOMINATION FORM Kenai Habitat Restoration & Recreation Enhancement Estimated Cost: $300,000 Monitoring Method: The City of Kenai would monitor the return of the habitat and vegetation. We would also monitor the reduction of bank erosion. Post Project Management: City of Kenai Parks and Recreation Department will maintain.

Roll Call Members Present: Pat Bower, Jack LaShot, Ted Wellman, Robin Nyce, Duane Harp, Tom Knock, Lance Trasky, Jim H. Richardson, Barbara Jewell for Ken Lancaster, Jim A. Richardson, Jeff King, Iry Carlisle, Mark Chase. Members Absent: Peggy Mullen, Ben Ellis. B. Approval of October 5, minutes. The minutes were approved as written. C. Agenda Changes and Approval. Under New Business three items were added; E. Salamatof Acquisition, F. Review Board of Fish proposals, G. Discussion of Nationwide Permit 29 being considered by COE. II. PUBLIC COMMENT III. NEW BUSINESS A. Bylaw Committee Report. The Bylaws committee met at 1:00pm. Each member is given a draft developed by this comn:.ttee to review. The bold and underlined items are new, and some sections which are crossed out indicate deletions. Ted Wellman, Chairman of the Bylaws Committee, reviewed the draft for the full board. Ted makes the motion to adopt the Bylaws as drafted. Discussion ensued by board members. Iry Carlisle suggests voting on adopting the bylaw changes at the next meeting to allow each member to digest the changes. Tom Knock asks about page 2, #11, the mention of "standard designs" as it is uncertain if Fish and Game wants docks and boardwalks. Tom also questions the Conflict of Interest, pg. 9. Tom ALlbo corrects the mention of two (2) newspapers on pg. 10, item 3 to one (1). Iry refers to two items in this draft. One is on pg. 2 item #10 where there is mention of the development of "standard designs for board walks..." as he feels it has not been established that there is scientific data demonstrating that boardwalks or docks are good. The other item is on pg 6-7 item F which deals with Public Comment and Iry suggests limiting time for public comment to ten minutes for all whether it be a single voice or a group. Another correction brought up by Pat was to finish the sentence on pg. S, item H, at the end "and 4) reports from the committees". KENAI RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA 2 ADVISORY BOARD - November 16, 1995 Tom states that on pg. 2 Item #10 we should add the words "restoration and protection of habitat". A friendly amendment is then made by Iry to delay action until the December meeting. Jim notes a couple of things that caught his attention. On pg. 5 #5, Item A, Jim wants to know what the excused absences should be. Also pg. 7 item G that notes the Board agenda being established by the President of the Board was an appropriate change. There was then discussion on agency voting. Pat Bower feels it is important for the agency people to be involved. Duane Harp feels it is appropriate for agency members to vote on advise to DNR. Ted suggests it is a poor policy to have an agency vote advise to themselves. He has been told that this board does not have credibility as much as they would have if only public members voted. Iry has mixed feelings about the agency voting. He states agency people are the most well informed and usually they are better prepared to vote than the public members. But if we think we need strong public support it would not be good for the agency people to vote. His personal feeling, outside of public perception, is that agencies should be allowed to vote. Duane also mentions the fact that if only public members are voting and if there happened to be only 5 public members in attendance, you could perhaps vote with as few as three to force an issue to pass. Lance says if the agencies are not a voting members it changes the scope of participation as the Commissioner of Fish and Game appointed them with the thought they.could vote. Jeff King is cgmfortable with agea�cy'members voting and states the strength of this board is the diversity of the group. Robin Nyce says we need to ask the question "what is our purpose or goal"? The public may not be happy about agency members voting but if this meets the board's goals it should be allowed. Jack LaShot states he represents a large segment of people which probably give the broadest base of representation when included in the vote. Chris suggests that maybe only her agency seat not be allowed to KENAI RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA 3 ADVISORY BOARD - November 16, 1995 vote. The issue of agency voting will be addressed at the December meeting. B. Permit Committee Report (includes Jim's Landing update) This committee met at 2:00 pm on this date. Suzanne presents the committees report. Mark Chase apologizes that he was unable to do the presentation on Jim's Landing but he was statutorily prevented to conduct business. Mark advises he will present this at the December meeting. Suzanne says the Grant Lake hydro project renewal was discussed. The Committee will generate a letter to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission asking them to keep us informed of the process. The Committee had a brief update on the Beaver Creek Anglers Acres bank erosion and the situation of the homeowners on site. Based on that discussion it was recommended that the Committee generate a letter to the Governor advising him that there are many precedent setting situations that are going on right now the river in relation to flood damage. This letter would ask the Governor to support the AG's office in providing DPOR and the Dept. of F&G with legal advice as we move forward. The next meeting of the Permit Committee will be at 2 pm on December 7th at CIAA. Jim A. Richardson asks that the Board write a letter to FERC asking for "intervenor status". He says this will change the level of info provided to this board on the Grant Lake project. C. Kenai River Comprehensive Management Plan Revision Committee Recommendations. This committee met at 3:00 pm this date to begin the process of reviewing the 1986 Kenai River Comprehensive Management Plan. The Committee which is made up of all board members follows a 6 page list of the major topics from the 1986 KRCMP. Jim states the board went through most of Chapter 2 of toe handout at the committee meeting. It is suggested to continue to work through the rest to familiarize all members with the plan. Suzanne then continues the discussion with Chapter 3 under "Water Quality". Lance says to add sewage waste, hazardous materials, materials in flood plain being vulnerable to this section. Jim asks if discharge of processed waste does damage to the smolt in the lower river. Lance says it is not known. Lance says we do not know alot about the water quality in the Kenai River. In the next section "Recreational Activities and Facility KENAI RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA ADVISORY BOARD - November 16, 1995 Development nothing is added. 4 Under Chapter 4, Recreational Land and Water Use "Land Use and Development" nothing is added but Iry asks about Cooper Creek dam and what the effects of its tributaries are. Under "Management of Public Lands" the management of easements was added to right-of-ways and easements. An MOU should be included there also. Effects from spruce bark beetle timber to the watershed as potential issue. Navigability defense stream corridors. Under "Commercial Activities" add rental boats to fishing guides. Other commercial activities should be addressed such as food barges, espresso boats, illegal guides, etc. Under "Permitting Procedures no new ones added other than those on the outline. Under "Law Enforcement" Under "Interagency Cooperation" add facility development and Public Use Management. The discussion goes on through Chapter Four, Five and Six. Nothing is added to the outline here. Jim A. asks how are we going to continue the review of the plan? It is decided a letter to Marty Rutherford to begin process on identifying the "desired future condition" for the river. NOTE: Homework assignment for all board members: What is your desired future condition of the Kenai River? A Flow chart to ID process is suggested to help with the KRCMP revision. D. Draft Regulation Review. Chris reviews the draft which was provided to each member starting*from pg. 11 reviewing 11 AAC 20 as these arer the regs that thislbdard is most interested in. Duane makes a motion that the board supports adoption of these specific regs related to the Kenai River with an endorsement sent to Chief of Field Operations Pete Panarese. Call for question. There was unanimous consent to send an endorsement of the regulations. E. Salamatof Acquisition Discussion. Mark Chase requests a written recommendation of support for the acquisition of the Salamatof property. After discussion it is decided to include in the resolution the following properties: Stephanka, Kenai River KENAI RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA ADVISORY BOARD - November 16, 1995 Ranch, Irene Girves, John Kobylarz, and Chester Cone properties Iry poses the question of what is to prevent Salamatof from buying this land back. Lance answers that issue has been anticipated and there will be terms and condition as well as covenants to prevent this. There was unanimous consent to support this and a resolution will be completed and sent to Mark Chase by COB Friday, 11/17/95. F. Assign and Review of Board of Fish Proposals. This request comes from Pat Bower that this board review the BOF minutes. After quick discussion it is decided that this be referred to the Legislative Committee to review and bring to the full board. Ben Ellis will be informed of this as he is the Chairperson of that Committee. G. Nationwide Permit 29 by Corps Of Engineers. Jim H. Richardson informs the board this would allow homeowners to fill in up to 1/2 acres of wetlands on their property. It would preclude the owner from going through the regular COE process. It is designed to be an expedited and relaxed method of permitting. The problem he sees with this is along the Kenai River the wetlands that are contiguous of the river are part of the habitat. Many of the parcels are small parcels however the cumulative effect of each landowner could be magnified greatly. Some of the areas are river overflow areas. What is determined a wetland may actually be a flood channel which would impact the adjacent land owners. Jim recommends that this board pass a resolution to exclude the Kenai River watershed from this process. This would mean landowners would still have to go through the regular process of permits. The board gives unanimous support for this resolution. Jim H. Richardson will develop the wording for the resolution for DPOR staff to submit. A copy will be sent to the Governor and Commissioner Shively. IV. ADJOURNMENT , A. Board Comments. IRV: states Chris and Suzanne did a very nice job on the KRCMP outline. JIM H.: feels the board made a good start at the KRCMP. DUANE.: Would like to address what is going on with the Kenai River Summit and the December meeting. KENAI RIVER SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA 6 ADVISORY BOARD - November 16, 1995 JEFF: Reports gives a Guide Task Force Update. He says there is so much resistance in the state for licensing statewide. Jeff relays that if there are guide limitations to -be pursued it will probably be here. He states the key thing is accountability. JIM A.: Looks forward to a constructive way to start KRCMP process. Jim will be following with great interest the sheet pile situation at Beaver Creek. B. Date/agenda of Next Meeting. Next meeting is December 7, 1995 at Cook Inlet Aquaculture. Agenda items will include: A Presentation of Kenai River Summit Report by Duane Harp, Bylaw Revision Adoption, Upper River Cooperative Plan Presentation, A report from the Legislative Committee on BOF proposals, Permit Committee Reports and.KRCMP Committee Report.

Kenai Airport Fuel Service, Inc., is the only place in Kenai that will provide 24 hour, everyday access for diesel and gasoline. They are considered a sole source for this service. They are located right next to our Public Works Shop on Airport Way. Attached is Kenai Airport Fuel Service, Inc.'s proposal dated December 8, 1995. 1 recommend we accept this proposal and start using their fuel and service for the following reasons. 1. Their system is much more modern and they have better equipment. 2. They would take over the responsibility of meeting the OSHA, EPA, and ADEC rules and regulations, including fuel spills, tank and underground piping requirements, and reporting. 3. They would provide the service of furnishing the pumps, motors, electrical power, and keeping the supply tanks full. Presently the city is experiencing major electrical and pump problems. Our fueling area is a gravel surface thus increasing fuel spill clean up problems while their area is concrete and asphalt pavement. The difference in the cost of the fuel is: Diesel Gasoline Kenai Airport Fuel $.830/gal. $.890 Doyle's Fuel .785 .840 .045 .05 I have worked with Kenai Airport Fuel in coming up with a method that would provide the city some security in dispensing the fuel. 1. Each piece of equipment has an equipment number that will first have to be entered on the keypad, followed by pushing ENTER. Page 2 Fueling System 12/ 14/95 2. Each employee that uses fuel will be given a card they will keep on them at all times. They will insert this card after entering the equipment number. 3. Each employee will have their own PIN that no one will know, which when entered on the keypad after inserting their card, will authorize them to receive fuel. 4. Kenai Airport Fuel is going to install a video surveillance system with a time/date stamp. Kenai Airport Fuel will bill the city with a detailed invoice that will reveal: 1. Date and time of fueling. 2. Name of fueler. 3. Equipment number and/or vehicle description. 4. Fuel type and number of gallons. Our goal is to have this new system up and running by January 1, 1996. Each employee that uses fuel will have to go into Kenai Airport Fuel Services to receive their card and give them their secret PIN. I have spent a lot of time trying to improve our fueling method, but there is always room for improvement. I request the Department Heads, or anyone else, contact me with any suggestions that might help our operation. It is not too late to make changes. I talked with Cary Graves, City Attorney, about this change in our future fueling method and he does not think we will need council action. I am requesting this memo be placed in the council packet of December 20, 1995 as an informational item. I am asking for any comments, suggestions, or recommendations from the City Council.

Our fueling system has state of the art leak detection and monitoring that exceeds EPA and DEC requirements, and our Petrovend K2500 Cardlock provides security and accountability. We are presently installing a video surveillance system with time/date stamps. Use of our system will eliminate the need for the City to upgrade and maintain their present fuel site, resulting in reduced exposure to liability and savings in accounting time. We recommend a two card system for the City, with one issued to a specific vehicle, and one (with a PIN) issued to each driver. The "cards" can either be a physical card (resembles a credit card) and/or an entry code which is manually entered at the pump. With this two card system you will receive a detailed invoicing with breakdowns by vehicles and drivers, time and date of transaction, number of gallons, fuel type, etc.. You can even request an odometer entry with a reasonability factor. Billing will be by invoice/statement on a monthly basis. We offer to provide fuel to the City of Kenai at the prices listed below and is based on current "Posted Refinery Rack Price": Diesel S .83/gallon Unleaded Gasoline $ .89/gallon Kenai Airport Fuel Service will notify the City of Kenai of any changes, either an increase or decrease, in the "Posted Refinery Rack Price".
